Chapter 652: Don't Believe in This Evil
As soon as the thunderbolt car landed at the airport, it was transported by a large truck to Tesla's headquarters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Martin, the CEO who is in his fifties this year, personally greeted the arrival of the thunder car in the underground parking lot of the headquarters.
Even before that, Martin had seen many videos related to the Thunder Motors, as well as a number of high-definition interior details from Huaxia.
When you really see the thunder car, even if you are an engineer and are used to seeing the world's advanced industrial technology, Martin, you have to be amazed. It's so perfect that it doesn't look like an assembly-line industrial product, but like a work of art made of metal.
The thunder car in front of him, just the gap between the shells, can make a bunch of engineers next to Martin embarrassed, their products, compared to this, the gap can be bigger than the gap between the teeth.
The appearance of Tesla cars is not stunning, and the team led by Martin has positioned their products more on practical functions for families.
Practicality and beauty do not seem to coexist.
In the pursuit of practicality, it is necessary to compromise on the comfortable structure of the space. In the pursuit of beauty, it is necessary to refer to the supercar design and reduce the space of members.
However, the sci-fi car in front of him, which has a cool shape and an absolute 100% return rate on the street, opened the door the moment he opened the door, and a group of foreigners who focused on the automotive industry suddenly widened their eyes.
What a lot of space!
The height of this car is obviously as high as that of an ordinary family car, but when the door is opened and you sit in, it gives people a feeling of sitting in an SUV, which is particularly comfortable and spacious.
After a detailed investigation for a long time, Martin and the others found that the chassis of the original thunder car was extremely simple, without the messy pipelines, transmission mechanism, and bulky battery chassis of electric vehicles, which was as cumbersome as a bank vault.
It doesn't seem to have a battery in the chassis at all, and even the tire steering mechanism and shock suspension are unusually simple.
At the same time, the seats in the thunder car are also much thinner than traditional cars, saving a lot of space, but they are more comfortable than sitting in the seats of any car.
"There's no reason why the chassis of this car is only a third of what we do, how does it hold the battery?"
"Probably, part of the battery was placed in the front hatch. "Someone opened the front hatch of the thunder, and it turned out to be a storage compartment with a lot of space, and when the trunk was opened, it turned out to be the same.
Traditional cars have bulky engines at the front, but electric cars don't, so there is also a storage compartment at the front.
"The battery can only be in the chassis, and it took us at Tesla five years to develop the battery management technology that we are proud of in the world. We used 7,000 18,650 mAh lithium batteries, which were connected in series to form Tesla's energy group. ”
"There's no reason why this car can do better than us. ”
CEO Martin was unconvinced, five years of hard work, dozens of engineers' hard work, they have achieved the world's first. And to become the brightest new star in the automotive industry, there is no reason why today's glory will be taken away by a technology company that started with the production of industrial equipment.
From the age of 30, he has built Tesla into a behemoth, an innovator in the automotive market. The hard work and dedication during this period are only known to him, and Martin absolutely does not believe that Thunder Automobile can do better than him.
Of course, surpassing Tesla in some ways, Martin is acceptable. Cars are quite complex industrial products, even if they are as strong as Tesla, they can't be exhaustive.
For example, the intelligent assistant, Martin admits in his heart that it is very interesting, and he can't compare.
As for whether those invisible details are better, we can only disassemble them and test them a little bit.
Dozens of minutes later, the car was transferred to the testing laboratory. Martin was there in person, and he wanted to see what was inside the thunder car.
The laboratory is about 2,000 square meters, with a speed measuring platform, a crash test track, and three warehouses in the south location, where the high and low temperature working environment of the car can be simulated, and wading tests.
"Prepare the image recording, and at the same time measure the number of all the disassembled parts. Martin snapped his fingers at the busy engineers before slitting into the cab of the Thunder Truck.
CEO Martin followed the instructions and started the Thunder car with the key. When the central control screen in the car was woken up, the translucent assistant also jumped out.
"Oops, master, I can't detect the GPS positioning module. Without the positioning module, our navigation function would not be available, and it seems that we would have to make a trip to the after-sales center. ”
Martin set the language to English, and then bound the owner to himself. After figuring out what the little assistant said, he smiled indifferently, and the GPS module was naturally moved by them.
"Who is better than you or Tesla?" Martin held his chin and looked at the little assistant with a strange look.
"Master, of course I'm better, I'm ...... better than Tesla"
"Wait~ Master, I detected someone disassembling my tires. Master, is this your order?" the intelligent assistant immediately conjured up a model of a thunderous car, and the front left tire of the model kept flashing in a red circle.
"That's right, I don't think you're as good as Tesla, so I'm going to tear you down. Martin said with some mistaste.
As soon as his words fell, the little assistant anxiously reminded someone that someone was dismantling the rear wheel.
Martin was indifferent, watching the engineers outside, using tools to disassemble the Thunder car piece by piece. In the end, the thunder car was left with only a bare chassis, and even the shock-absorbing suspension was gone.
Martin and a group of engineers stood in silence in front of the chassis of the thunder car for a long time, and they didn't hold back a word.
Their guess was correct, the Thunder car had been completely disassembled, but the engineers didn't find any batteries in the pile. This illustrates that its battery can only be in the chassis. But to say that there is a battery hidden in the chassis in front of him, which is less than five centimeters thick, Martin is the first to believe it.
"BOSS, the weight measurement shows that this chassis is only 400 kilograms, which is twice as light as our Tesla's, which is contrary to scientific common sense. ”
"Dismantle the chassis. Martin, who was also unbelievers, waved his hand.
After receiving the order, an engineer immediately walked forward with a precision starting tool, and after a few "sudden burst~" sounds, the upper protective shell of the chassis was dismantled, revealing eight silver-white metal objects tiled inside.
Is this a battery?
Martin felt like someone had stabbed a wooden stick in his head, stirring it around, and their Tesla battery was made up of more than 7,000 small batteries connected in series. These cells form 16 groups of battery modules, which are sealed with sealed fireproof materials, separated by metal beams between each group of cells, and each cell is welded with ultrasonic welding technology and welded with overload fuse protection wire. There are also complex battery management units, battery liquid cooling lines, battery heating lines, and so on.
In winter, the battery is heated first, and in summer, the battery is cooled down, and the care is extreme.
Their battery pack alone has dozens of technical patents, especially the battery management technology, which is known as the world's first.
Now the lightning battery is only eight metal plates?
"BOSS, the silvery-white metal casing on the battery seems to be a protective layer, without any screws that can be taken apart. ”
"Then cut it with a cold cut, and I'm going to see what that plasma battery looks like. ”
“OK。 The engineers immediately replaced the cutting equipment, sharpened the knives, and lifted the plasma battery sealed in a nickel-titanium memory alloy protective shell onto the workbench.
