Chapter 677: Bidding
At first glance, Yi Xingchen felt that this artificial energy spar seemed to be quite complicated, and from the appearance, it must not be easy to imitate, so even if he invested in the Blue Mercury market in the future, it would not be easy for the government of the country where the buyer was located to organize high-tech technicians to study and crack the artificial energy spar.

Even, Yi Xingchen also estimated that the scientists of Blue Mercury may not understand the structural principle of the artificial energy crystal.
Of course, even if you take 10,000 steps back and think about it pragmatically, assuming that the scientific community of Blue Mercury can really find a knowledgeable and highly skilled scientist who can finally solve the structure of the artificial energy spar, Yi Xingchen is also an old god.
It is precisely because of this trump card that Yi Xingchen will have this profit plan of simultaneous production and sales of suspended automobiles with monopoly operation as the main model.
"Very good!" Yi Xingchen held the artificial energy crystal in his hand and observed it repeatedly, while unabashedly expressing his approval of Chekov. Moreover, from the fact that the artificial energy spar was successfully developed, it can be said that Yi Xingchen was extremely happy. This is the result of Chekov, as well as the collective result of the Alchemy Institute.
I have to say that the successful development of the artificial energy spar at this time is really crucial to the development of the Xinghua Empire.
Although there is still enough supply of natural energy spars, if Yi Xingchen needs to mass-produce some products that require the use of energy spars, such as the suspension car in front of him, the demand for natural energy spars will inevitably increase. In this case, if the supply of energy crystals can keep up with the production and sales, it is naturally a good thing, if not, I am afraid that the promotion of these products will eventually be cut off one day. Moreover, if Yi Xingchen had not only one plan, but multiple product plans, the natural energy spar would be overstretched sooner.
The limited amount of natural energy is bound to be a major obstacle to a country's development.
Because of this, the emergence of artificial energy crystals can greatly alleviate the contradiction between national development and the use of natural resources.
Therefore, while listening to Chekov's story, Yi Xingchen's mind seemed to be unbanned, and many new ideas flashed at the same time. In the past, it was indeed constrained by energy supply, and Yi Xingchen could not do as he wanted in the process of developing products. But now, since the degree of freedom is higher, Yi Xingchen is not welcome.
Yi Xingchen then said to Chekov: "If you are already sure enough about making artificial energy crystals, then I have an idea, I want to build a factory that can mass-produce artificial energy crystals in order to meet the needs of some development projects." In the early stage, your Alchemy Research Institute first selected ten alchemy apprentices with good qualifications to train them, so that they could have the skills required to be full-time workers in the factory. After their training meets the needs of the factory, they will be arranged to enter the factory and produce artificial energy spars full-time. ”
Yi Xingchen's idea is more focused, and he hopes to train such a special production team to be responsible for the production of artificial energy spars on a full-time basis, so as to ensure the output of artificial energy spars in order to meet the needs of various projects that may be carried out in the future.
Chekov nodded yes.
Yi Xingchen thought about it, and asked the accompanying personnel to record his thoughts, and he also sent a document to the cabinet and the head of the Xinghua Primary Industrial Zone, Emir, asking the two of them to find a place with suitable environmental conditions as soon as possible to build a factory of artificial energy crystals.
To say that it is really ingenious, this inspiration came, but it couldn't be stopped, and more and more ideas emerged in Yi Xingchen's mind.
In addition to using artificial energy crystals for the research and development of levitating cars and other items, Yi Xingchen also has several more in-depth ideas.
First of all, if the artificial energy spar is used in conjunction with the nuclear power plant under construction, the two complement each other, and the artificial energy spar can be recycled many times. The nuclear power plant can provide sufficient power supply for the artificial energy spar, and the electrical energy consumed by the artificial energy spar can be replenished. According to this method, the utilization rate of artificial energy crystals can be greatly improved, and if artificial energy crystals can be mass-produced in the future, the number of artificial energy crystals will continue to increase, so even ordinary people can have the opportunity to use energy crystals.
Secondly, artificial energy crystals can also be used in military applications. Although this artificial energy spar is not as good as the natural energy spar, it is not suitable for the development of large-caliber crystalline cannons with high power, but if it is used to develop small-caliber crystalline cannons with less power, it should still be possible, as long as it can overcome the problem that it is not suitable for making small-volume crystalline guns because of its large size.
In addition, even if it is just an artificial energy spar itself, it can be added to the scientific and educational content of the Xinghua Empire as a major scientific research and invention, and publicized and educated among all the citizens of the Xinghua Empire, especially the schoolchildren, as their enlightenment knowledge. More importantly, if the Imperial Education Department uses this kind of scientific research to lead and guide the citizens to consciously aim for the status of professionals, it can also enlighten more young citizens and practice the exercises of professionals, and maybe more professionals like Chekov can be cultivated.
When Yi Xingchen came back to his senses from these almost fanciful thoughts, the hovering car of the Alchemy Research Institute was still driving around, and seeing this, Yi Xingchen pulled his thoughts back to the hovering car in front of him. Then, Yi Xingchen thought of a few more questions, and said: "With the artificial energy spar as the energy source of the suspended car, how long can the suspended car travel at high speed when it is fully charged?"
"At a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, you can only travel for 24 hours. If traveling at a speed of sixty kilometers per hour, a hovering car is capable of driving for sixty hours. Chekov's answer did not forget to add a reference factor.
Yi Xingchen smiled when he heard this, and said: "In this way, the suspension car can be charged once every half a month when driving in the city...... Tell me the standard of charging?"
Chekov paused and said with some regret: "The charging voltage is between 220 and 280 volts, and it takes eight hours to fully charge. This hovercar is not like a gasoline car, as soon as it is fully filled, the car can run. This point is that in the current development process, the problem has not been best solved, and it is still flawed......"
"This is already good!" Yi Xingchen was overjoyed when he heard this, and while encouraging Chekov, he was even more determined in his mind to promote the idea of hovering cars.
In fact, Chekov is from the perspective of research, and he naturally hopes to keep improving the problems that arise in the development process, but these problems, in Yi Xingchen's view, are not particularly serious, and they can be solved with a little more thought, and it will not affect his decision to put the suspension car on the market, on the contrary, it may bring him huge benefits. These benefits were enough for the Xinghua Empire to form a few more legions.
"You sort out the parameters of the hovering car, and then develop an instruction manual and a maintenance manual. Yi Xingchen said.
Yi Xingchen also personally test-drove the hovercar, trying to accelerate, decelerate, brake, turn and so on one by one. Overall, Yi Xingchen thinks it's not bad. He believes that the hovercar is different from the traditional car concept of Blue Mercury, and in some operations, it is simply not comparable.
The only problem that Yi Xingchen could think of was security. In Blue Mercury, users who can afford to buy hovercars are probably all rich or wealthy children. If there are safety hazards in hovering cars, it will definitely reduce sales. Yi Xingchen considered the suspension of the car's shell and used armor materials that are impact-resistant and not easy to deform. Although this will greatly increase the cost of the hovering car, these costs can be passed on to the user. After all, this is a monopoly business of a single family, and Yi Xingchen is not worried that the suspension car will not be sold.
Not long after Yi Xingchen left the Alchemy Research Institute, he returned to Blue Mercury Xinghua Island.
In Xinghua Island, Yi Xingchen issued tender announcements to major internationally renowned automobile shell manufacturers through Xinghua's secretarial office, mainly Angelina's commercial secretarial office. Schmidt Group is openly recruiting partners for the manufacture of alloy housings for suspension vehicles. According to the content of the announcement, what Xinghua Mall needs is a super alloy shell, which must not only be bulletproof, but also crash-proof, arson-proof, durable and durable.
Soon after this tender announcement was issued, Yi Xingchen moved to the bulletin board of Xinghua Mall.
In the circle of international automakers, a bomb was suddenly set off, and the entire automotive industry shouted wolf.
Of course, on the member forum of Xinghua Mall, a new round of heated discussions was also triggered.
Schmidt Group's bidding means that the technology for the production of suspended vehicles has matured. This means that the hovering car will be launched in the future, and everyone no longer needs to stare at the hovering motorcycle and think about what to transform.
There are some senior members of super local tyrants, who shouted directly on the forum: The price is arbitrary, as long as Xinghua Mall gives him a place to buy cars internally.
Yi Xingchen hasn't been online for a long time, and he is very happy to see the liveliness of the forum.
However, Yi Xingchen will not reply, let alone give any promises to the super tyrant.
To Yi Xingchen's surprise, the economic analyst of Xinghua Think Tank sent Yi Xingchen a suggestion. It was suggested that he hold a full pre-order of the hovercar, which would save costs.
This was the first time that Xinghua Think Tank had made a suggestion to Yi Xingchen, and Yi Xingchen was very curious, so he asked who the person who made the suggestion was.
Xinghua told Yi Xingchen that this was a suggestion made by a middle-level manager at Xinghua Think Tank. They thought it would be beneficial to Xinghuaguo, so they sent the proposal to Yi Xingchen.
The top leaders of the Xinghua Think Tank are all people from Xinghuaguo, and they are trembling, but the emperor will blame them. It is not surprising that the Xinghua Think Tank has always been monitoring the interior of Rénia in the form of Yi Xingchen's eyes, finding out all the behaviors that are unfavorable to Yi Xingchen, and collecting information on the economy of other countries of Blue Mercury.
Now Schmidt wants to change its function and become a real think tank to try to make its voice heard. These high-level officials also don't know if their actions will anger Yi Xingchen.
Yi Xingchen didn't blame them, as long as the Xinghua Think Tank could guarantee the monitoring of Rénia, and they gave some constructive suggestions, he could accept it. It's just that Yi Xingchen won't give them rewards easily, lest they be negligent in their own work.
Yi Xingchen did not accept that proposal.
The person who obviously made the suggestion did not know the progress and production status of the hovering car, and apparently copied some of the successful business cases of Blue Mercury.
There are two reasons why Yi Xingchen cannot procure: First, the cost of the suspension car cannot be determined. This cost includes the cost of materials, labor and time. If the cost cannot be determined, the price cannot be set arbitrarily; the second is the issue of output. Yi Xingchen can't do the behavior of skipping tickets, he will only produce as many cars as he wants, and sell as many cars as he wants. Moreover, because of the monopoly, there is no need to grab the market.
In less than 24 hours, 90 percent of car shell manufacturers responded to the tender. Most of the manufacturers said they would participate in the bidding meeting and asked Schmidt Group in detail about the bidding requirements.
The first conference room, the chairman, president, chief engineer and more than 50 middle and senior management, technical and other related departments gathered together to discuss the tender announcement of Xinghua Group.
"This is the tender announcement of Schmidt Group, and everyone must know what it means! When the first round of hovering machines was launched from Schmidt Mall, our company felt a strong crisis! This is a technological revolution and a turning point in the automotive industry. If we fall behind, what awaits us is a failure...... Bankruptcy was also predictable. The president said with great seriousness.
"President, we all know you're right. Even if the company's scientific researchers personally dismantled the suspension motorcycle, the scientific research department still has not made any breakthroughs in suspension technology, and still knows nothing. We don't even know where to start and where to start. The chief engineer said helplessly.
"I know, or we wouldn't have gathered together. The president replied.
"President, do you think that the tender announcement is an opportunity? But isn't selling the most advanced car shells helping our competitors? The chairman interjected.
"No, Chairman, I think it's an opportunity. Whether we help Schmidt Group or not, they will still develop. When it comes to automotive shell technology, I think hovering cars are the core technology of the future. It's like a car tire that used to be, without which a car can't run. The president said.
"What are your plans?" the chairman asked directly.
The people present immediately concentrated and made an appearance of listening. It's about the future of the group company, and it's also about their own jobs, who doesn't care? )
