Chapter 449: Test Drive
Pengyun Automobile Industrial Park, in the park. Here, the new maglev intelligent lane is still under construction, and in many places, it has begun to take shape.
"Mr. Lu!" In the maglev test base, the employees greeted Lu Zixin one after another.
"Hmm. Lu Zixin nodded and asked Dongfang Hao at the front, "Where's the car?"
Dongfang Hao was wearing a straight suit, with a straight body line, and a height of more than one meter and eight, which was particularly conspicuous among a group of researchers, but no one could see that he was actually a mechanical life.
"Wait!" Dongfang Hao closed his eyes and counted: "Three, two, one!"
On the maglev smart lane where Lu Zixin walked, passionate music sounded in all directions. This is a miniature PA device installed in all directions of the smart road surface in action. At the same time, there are various lights flashing, and at this moment, the road seems to be transformed into a concert scene!
“i'm,aake,i'm,alive.”
“no,i,kno,hat,i believe,inside.”
“no,it's,my,time……”
This time, the BGM was quite normal, and as the BGM sounded, the warehouse door in front of the road opened automatically.
A transparent maglev car "flies" out of it, and its body shell is made of special glass material, which contains some miniature sensors and smart device elements, which are rich in functions.
The maglev car is suspended on the induction road surface through a magnetic field, and the friction is almost negligible and unusually smooth.
On its chassis, there are actually specially designed tires, which are to facilitate driving on non-magnetic levitation induction roads.
Inside the car body, because the unmanned driving system eliminates the traditional cockpit, the interior space of the car is much larger than that of ordinary cars. It can be placed comfortably on the sofa and even folded out into a folding bed.
In addition, the entire maglev car itself is a large smart mobile device. When driving, the wireless signal connects the maglev car with the smart road and data center, and passengers can use the maglev car as a mobile theater, mobile game hall, mobile hotel, etc., anyway, how comfortable and how to come.
After the maglev car is connected to the intelligent road, not only can the instinct be unmanned, but also the speed will reach an amazing level, through the adjustment and safety control of the intelligent road, the probability of traffic accidents on such roads will be minimized.
According to the imagination of the R&D personnel, if such a maglev road and cars are popularized, the traffic laws related to it will definitely be regulated. The driving speed of the maglev intelligent road may be comparable to that of high-speed rail.
The maglev car slowly stopped in front of Lu Zixin, and the body projected an image of a beautiful female flight attendant, and smiled at Lu Zixin: "Mr. Lu, welcome to the 'M-001' Pengyun maglev car." ”
The car door opened automatically, and Lu Zixin got into the car to experience it, along with Tang Gang and a vice president of Hongxin Capital, Roy Rupert.
Tang Gang's current position is the president of Hongxin Group and the strategic investment officer, while Roy Rupert is a bearded American, a well-known figure in the financial world, recruited by Hongxin Group, and the two of them have always been puzzled by the maglev car and intelligent road that Lu Zixin insisted on, so this time Lu Zixin took them to experience it in person.
Just before the maglev car appeared, the two were already amazed.
"It's really hovering!" Roy Rupert exclaimed, "It's smoother than riding in a Lincoln." ”
"How did the maglev car come out so fast?" Tang Gang couldn't hide his surprise and said, "I thought it would be at least a year or two before the first day of the test car." ”
"This sense of technology, this design, it's so beautiful!" he tried to use the functions in the body, and when the virtual projection was turned on, the whole car seemed to be driving into a space-time tunnel and entering another dimension.
During this period, the body will not shake at all, and the water cup on the table in the car will be as smooth as ever.
In the car, the virtual crew introduced them to the various functions of the maglev car, this maglev intelligent road has not been built, only half the distance, but it is enough for them to experience.
Within three minutes, the virtual flight attendant reported: "Dear passengers, we have reached our destination. ”
"So fast!" Tang Gang looked at his watch, his eyes widened, and said, "Three minutes! It took us at least a quarter of an hour to drive from here to the base just now, right?"
"More than that, 23 minutes to be exact. Lu Zixin looked at his smart glasses and said.
"It's a 23-minute journey, and it only takes 3 minutes to arrive! And because the journey is too short, you need to start and stop and waste time......" Tang Gang continued to think, "If it's a long-distance distance, it's really comparable to a maglev bullet train!"
"The speed is not as fast as the moving car, but it is not bad to be several times faster than the ordinary high-speed driving!" Lu Zixin also smiled, "Now, do you still think there is a problem with the investment in this project?"
"It's amazing! It's a genius investment!" Roy Rupert exclaimed, "I seem to see such a maglev car on the roads of California, and maglev roads are being built on European soil...... The whole world's transportation system will be changed because of it!"
"It is precisely because of this that I want to vigorously promote the research and development of the maglev project and the machine tool. Lu Zixin said, "Think about it, if we launch a maglev car, but the key components are controlled by other giant crocodiles. ”
"Then our maglev car is likely to be like the mobile phone and computer industry a few years ago, working hard to help others make money. ”
"I see!" Roy Rupert was also one of the senior executives who didn't understand why Lu Zixin wanted to invest in the research and development of the working machine tool, and there were too many projects that could make money within the Hongxin Group.
From a capitalist's point of view, it is not wise to spend a large sum of money on an uncertain and extremely difficult project.
But from the moment he saw such a convenient and fast maglev car, Roy Rupert's mind completely changed. He had previously understood the cost of a maglev car, which was not much more expensive than a regular car.
If key components can be produced in-house, the cost will be even lower.
Maglev car is not only a new mode of transportation, but also a new intelligent terminal, and its potential market is unimaginable!
They drove back to their previous location, where the R&D personnel were waiting for them.
"Mr. Lu, how is it?" Jiang Xunmei looked at him expectantly, hoping to wait for his affirmation.
"Okay!" Lu Zixin only said one word, and everyone present smiled.
"This is the best car I've ever experienced, and it's also a waist disc, why are you so prominent?" Tang just joked, and everyone laughed.
