Chapter 1122: The Concept of Smart Cities

Among all the technologies owned by the Future People Group, it can be said that this maglev highway is currently the most interesting to Huaguo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Three-dimensional traffic has a significant effect on releasing the traffic pressure of high-density cities. Not to mention, the anti-human policy of limiting the number of licenses can be completely canceled, when the three-dimensional traffic is implemented, the city's transportation network carrying capacity will grow geometrically.

It is precisely for this reason that Huaguo directly offered a sky-high price of 10 billion yuan and asked Future Heavy Industry to help transform the maglev transportation network in the pilot city - Shenzhen.

Of course, Jiang Chen will not refuse, after all, this is a great opportunity to open up the overseas market of Rourka maglev vehicles. The more electrified China becomes, the harder it will be to reject his plans for a global grid, and the harder it will be to shake off the influence of the new country over the future......

Not satisfied with this, Jiang Chen took this opportunity to promote the concept of "smart city" to Ye Qinghua by the way.

"The so-called smart city is to integrate all public service projects such as logistics, transportation, communications, water and electricity, etc., and unify them with AI. Taking maglev technology as an example, we connect each car to the traffic network, maintain a specific speed at a specific height, and keep the vehicles at the same height relatively stationary, so as to completely eliminate traffic accidents caused by vehicle collisions......"

Listening to Jiang Chen's words, Ye Qinghua exchanged the hand holding the phone, his cloudy eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Chen's words had already planted a seed in his heart.

Named Seeds of the Future.

……

At nine o'clock in the evening of July 29, a bright silver silhouette emerged from the sky, and the Gulfstream G650 landed smoothly at Koro City International Airport.

Sitting in the window seat, Elon Musk, who had not fully adjusted to the jet lag, opened his tired eyes and looked out through the porthole. He saw all sorts of aircraft types, saw the runway that was rapidly reversing backwards, and saw the brightly lit city in the distance......

The blue signal on the side of the runway flew backwards, like a long snake with a brilliant light, gradually blinding him.

At that moment, he felt someone tugging at his sleeve, so he blinked, took his gaze stuck to the runway away from the porthole, and looked at the people around him.

"Mr. Musk, it's here. His assistant whispered.

Elon Musk nodded, pressed his hands on the armrests, and the moment he stood up, his tired eyes regained their sharpness.

He is a very purposeful person who is used to seeing the world from the perspective of an engineer.

When he was in college, he often thought about what the real problems facing the world were, and which ones would affect the future of humanity. He is bullish on the Internet, sustainable energy, and space exploration. Later, he entered these three fields as promised, and dropped three bombshells in turn: PayPal, Tesla-motors, and SpaceX.

Although the latter two were defeated by Rourka and Transwarp Trade respectively, neither Tesla nor SpaceX really fell. However, now, with the bankruptcy of the "Noah's Ark" fund, the 100 billion dollar project has missed out on SpaceX, and is now excluded from the Earth Defense Alliance's Earth Fleet program.

In the long run, even if SpaceX inherits the advantages accumulated by NASA in the Cold War era, it will be left behind in this era of rapid change.

When I think about this, Elon Musk's mood is not very good.

His primary goal of going to Xinguo this time was to talk to Jiang Chen face-to-face. I didn't have much hope when I came, but how would I know if I didn't try?

After getting off the plane, the airport staff came over and spoke a few words with his assistant. Soon, his assistant turned back, walked quickly to Elon Musk's side, and whispered.

"Mr. Musk, the Future People Group arranged a special car for us outside the special passage of the airport. ”

"Future People Group?" Elon Musk's expression was slightly surprised, "They already know I'm coming?"

But come to think of it, not to mention that the international airport under his feet was funded by Transwarp Trade, and even the air defense of the new country was contracted by Transwarp Trade. I'm afraid that from the moment his plane took off from Los Angeles International Airport, it was already known that he was coming.

Although the feeling of privacy being snooped on made him a little uncomfortable, he didn't say anything about it, after all, he was still counting on a while to persuade Jiang Chen to open up, separate politics from economic cooperation, and give SpaceX a chance to participate in market competition fairly.

"Look, are we a hotel car, or are we ......?" the assistant asked in a whisper.

"Let the hotel car go back and remember to bring my suitcase. With this sentence left, Elon Musk walked in the direction of the airport staff.

There was a black sedan parked at the exit of the special passage, and after walking here, he finally understood why Jiang Chen would send a special car to pick him up, because at this moment, the entrance of the airport was surrounded by a sea of reporters.

It seems that the news leaked before he left.

In the OB vans gathered at the airport gate, he even saw the shadow of the Los Angeles Times.

SpaceX lost its bid in the Earth Fleet program, and many people were waiting to see his jokes. Especially those peers, they must be indispensable. It's no exaggeration to say that if he showed his face in front of the reporters at the airport gate, he would be in the Los Angeles newspaper the next day, and he would be labeled as a soft service to Transwarp.

Thinking of this, Elon's face couldn't help but have a wry smile, the previous dissatisfaction with being spied on was gone, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude to Jiang Chen in his heart.

Sitting in the car to the hotel and looking at the traffic passing through the air outside the window, Elon Musk sighed with emotion.

"Originally, I thought that Silicon Valley was the future of the world, but I didn't expect that Coro City had entered the 22nd century ahead of schedule. ”

"It's the first time you've been here, you'll be even more surprised when you get to the city center," the maglev mode was activated, and the man in charge of driving looked at Elon and grinned, "I don't know if you've ever seen a movie? ”

"Starring Bruce Willis?" Elon Musk frowned and thought for a moment, then a name suddenly popped into his mind, "The Fifth Element?"

"That's right, Fifth Element. There are few sci-fi blockbusters that can be watched in France. The driver laughed.

"I didn't expect the Americans' dream to be realized by the new country. Elon Musk sighed.

"It is the dream of all mankind. The driver of the car said, with pride in his words.

"You're not a native of New Zealand?" Elon Musk asked suddenly.

"I used to be British, but what does it matter? I voted to leave the European Union three years ago, and then I moved here with my wife. You know what? It was the proudest decision of my life. If you hadn't lived here, you'd never have felt how amazing the changes were. ”

Elon Musk took a deep look at him.

When a person has already begun to be proud of his new nationality, then wherever he used to come from, it has nothing to do with who he is now.

The assimilation capacity of the new nation has reached such a terrifying level. This assimilation is not because of institutional or cultural charm, but simply because of the pure technological superiority, so that the people living here have a sense of superiority over the primitive people of civilization over the people of other countries.

Yes, even California's most prosperous city is a little stretched compared to the city of the future.

At least none of the cars in California can fly on the road. (To be continued.) )
