Chapter 208: Smart Electric Vehicles

The six scientists led Lucy and Xu Xincheng to visit the entire laboratory and research institute, which has three floors, each with an area of slightly more than 10,000 square meters, and each floor is divided into several small laboratories or research departments, in each laboratory or research department, there are several or a dozen people in it who are busy attentively. Unlike the Future Museum, there are no concept cars, but individual parts, samples and models, as well as a variety of high-tech equipment and instruments.

Finally, the group came to a conference room on the third floor, and came to a very special rectangular conference table. Hake asked Lucy to sit down in the middle of the right side of the table, then asked Xu Xincheng to sit on Lucy's right, and he walked around to the opposite side of the table and sat down directly opposite Lucy, and the other six saw Lucy, Mr. Hake, and Xu Xincheng take their seats before taking their seats.

The base of this conference table is a white cuboid, about 2 meters long and 1 meter wide, and the top is a black glass plate about 3 centimeters thick, about 3 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. After taking his seat, Mr. Hake pressed his right palm on the table, and the black glass pane lit up instantly.

Xu Xincheng was slightly taken aback, this conference table turned out to be a touchscreen conference table, and the entire desktop was a giant touchscreen electronic board, or rather, a huge tablet, which was very similar to the conference table in Lucy's conference room, but the size was a little smaller. It seems that this kind of touchscreen conference table has begun to become popular, and it is expected that it will soon become the standard equipment in major high-tech companies and high-end office buildings.

The meeting begins.

Last Thursday evening, from Lucy's itinerary, Xu Xincheng knew that visiting the museum and the future museum was only a secondary purpose for coming to BMW today, and the main purpose of this time was to have a meeting.

On the plane to Dubai, Lucy told Xu Xincheng that one of the purposes of her visit to Germany was to sign a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with BMW, and that she had already ordered 1,500 smart electric vehicles for the industrial park in early July, of which 300 were four-seater business electric vehicles, 500 were two-seater mini electric vehicles, and 700 were single-seat micro electric vehicles.

Lucy and the president and vice president of BMW AG have been in talks for three weeks, and on Wednesday they reached an agreement on the specific method and content of the cooperation between the two parties, and this time the agreement is officially signed. As for the custom ordering of electric vehicles, she has signed a custom agreement on July 9, paid the deposit, these 20 days, the two sides have been in close negotiations, at the technical level has basically reached an agreement, but also in some key technologies and key components to achieve optimization and breakthroughs, this time to finalize some details, such as appearance and so on. According to the schedule, production will start on August 20, complete production on September 3, and then all smart electric vehicles will be shipped to Guangzhou in late September through the China-Europe Land-Sea Express, and will be fully put into use before the official opening of the industrial park.

Xu Xincheng was taken aback when he listened to Lucy calmly introduce the above situation, in fact, three weeks ago, Lucy had already mentioned this matter to him, and he asked if he needed his assistance at that time, but she said that this matter involved more technical problems, and it was better for her to be directly responsible. Now it seems that he really can't help with this, and neither can the rest of the company.

He muttered to himself, "Oh my God! no wonder Lucy works late into the night every day, and often spends the night in her suite in her office, her daily workload is really amazing, and the work is amazingly difficult." โ€

Mr. Hake found a folder named "Xinfei001" on the desktop screen, clicked on it, and a small window asking for a password and fingerprint popped up on the desktop screen. Hake clicked on a touch keyboard, entered the password, and then pressed his right palm on the desktop again, the folder was opened, and the entire conference table desktop was covered with dozens of subfolders in an instant, each folder has a different name, including the body design of the electric vehicle, the body structure, the body glass, the battery system, the automatic driving system, etc.

Mr. Hake politely asked Lucy, "Lucy, may I ask where you would like to start with?" ("Lucy, may I ask where you want to start your conversation?")

"If I may, I would like to start with the body design," Lucy said. ("If I could, I'd like to start with the body design.") โ€)

โ€œYes๏ผŒ of course.โ€ ("Okay, of course.") โ€)

Speaking, Mr. With his index finger, Hake clicked on the folder named "Body Design," and in an instant, the entire conference table was covered with dozens of drawings of different body designs, each marked with a variety of intricate parameters and annotations.

Xu Xincheng looked at it very carefully, and the body shape can be divided into three types, the first is a four-seater, the second is a two-seater, and the third is a single-seater. Each shape has more than a dozen different designs, each with extraordinary creativity and a full sense of science fiction.

Lucy looked at the drawings on the screen and said, "Mr. Hake and everyone, I have seen all the designs, and I am very impressed by what you have done so far, but if I may, I would like to pitch in and offer some of my newest ideas." ("Mr. Hake, guys, I've seen all the designs and I'm very impressed with what you've done so far, however, I'd like to get involved and come up with some of my latest ideas if I can.") โ€)

โ€œOf course๏ผŒ we are always open for good ideas and good advice.โ€ ("Of course, we always welcome good ideas and good suggestions.") โ€๏ผ‰

Speaking, Mr. Hake pressed a few more quick keys on the screen, and a black glass pane on the wall to the right of the conference table lit up. When he entered the conference room, Xu Xincheng noticed this huge flat panel display on the wall, which was about 5 meters long and 2.5 meters high. The picture in this giant screen display is completely synchronized with the screen on the conference table, and all the patterns and drawings in it are about 60% larger, and its resolution, contrast and brightness performance are significantly higher.

Lucy quickly clicked on the touchscreen on the desktop with his index and middle fingers, found one of the designs of a four-seater business electric vehicle, clicked on it, and said to everyone in the design on the wall monitor: "Let's start with the BPV model, I think this is one of the best designs, and it is one of my favorite designs." ("Let's start with the van model, which I think is one of the best design options in it, and one of my favorites.") โ€)

Lucy paused for a moment, picked up the stylus placed on the conference table, and continued, "And I have some ideas that can make it even better." ("I have some suggestions to make it better.") โ€)

Lucy then put forward a lot of suggestions, she put forward some modification suggestions on the moving line, shape, size, material, performance parameters of the body, etc., she used the stylus to modify directly on the drawings while talking, only to see Lucy like a superb body designer on the drawings to show their exquisite skills and extraordinary creativity, and like an extremely professional engineer to modify the various parameters and annotations at hand.
