Chapter 435: Ready to Go

Now there are only a few map providers that can provide global detailed maps to global users, except for a few large companies, the vast majority of companies that provide maps as their core business have strong regionality, and most of them can only provide a map of a country, which is much weaker than the global map, and this kind of map provider is fundamentally not at the international level.

Maps also have copyright issues, and there are only a few companies that can carry out detailed surveying and mapping of the global map, and the update of the global map is also a huge amount of engineering, which is not something that ordinary companies can do, if they use satellites to take satellite photos of the global surface like Google, this is only to get a rough geomorphological map, but if you want to be detailed to what is the name of each street, what is the name of each building, every bridge, every intersection, etc., All of them need to be backed up by extremely accurate data.

Zhang Wenhao does not have a team of map mapping, if the map is really enriched on a global scale, I am afraid that the team alone will also need to build a long time, so Zhang Wenhao thought of an opportunistic way, that is, to directly let Xiao Er take out the 4D map of future surveying and mapping.

However, there is a big problem with this, the future 4D map is developed by Google and several other companies in the future ten years later, detailed to every building in large cities, and even each building has its own 4D simulation map, although it is very advanced, but the problem is that there are some buildings, which have not yet appeared, ten years. Enough to turn a city upside down. If you just take out this kind of map. I'm afraid the whole world will be deeply shocked by this, maybe a company in the United States is planning to build a skyscraper in New York next year, and the design drawings of this skyscraper have been finalized, but it is still in the secret stage, as a result, Dongchen released a 4D map, directly marking the skyscraper they are about to build.

However, this does not mean that 4D maps cannot be used, in this set of 4D maps. There is very, very detailed data, and the completion time of each building and every road is marked in great detail, and Zhang Wenhao instructed Xiao Er with this, saying: "Xiao Er, you have to modify this set of 4D maps as soon as possible, compare the 4D map with the latest map, and once there is controversial content, for example, some buildings have not appeared on the latest map, then immediately modify it to ensure that we have this set of 4D maps." It's really real-time. ”

Xiao Er smiled: "This is simple, just directly invade the municipal archives of every country and even every city and region." As for those underdeveloped countries, we can also filter the 4D map according to the existing other maps, compare the two, and if there are differences, refer to the existing other maps to make changes to the 4D map. ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded and said, "How much capacity does it take to complete the entire 4D map of the world?" ”

Xiao Er said: "If it really reaches the highest level of detail, then it will take at least a few hundred terabytes, but we don't need to try to implant all the maps into our hardware locally, the best way is to use the cloud, so that users can directly receive map data from the cloud when they need to retrieve maps of a certain area." ”

Speaking, Xiao Er said: "Even if the cloud accepts data, users can also choose different modes, for example, 4D map is actually more of a gimmick, in ordinary use, basically a flat map is enough, therefore, users do not need to download 4D maps from the cloud for navigation services, and 4D, the main purpose, is to understand the details of each city in detail under the condition of sufficient bandwidth guarantee." It even simulates the feeling of walking through the city in three dimensions. ”

Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and praised: "You think about this very well, by the way, if we make a 2D map, then what is the capacity of the world's map?" ”

"About 1TB." Xiao Er said: "It doesn't matter, after all, the services we provide, in the vast majority of cases, are only ground navigation services, so users don't need to download the map of the world in their own terminals, we can divide the data of the map, according to the country or even according to the city, if the user needs to use a certain area or a map of several regions, then, it is completely okay to directly choose to download the map data of these areas." ”

Xiao Er went on to say: "Our navigation service will be very accurate, so our map will also be very accurate, the navigation service can be completely accurate to a certain house number, and even, our navigation, can also carry out interactive interactive services." ”

Zhang Wenhao was surprised and asked, "What is an interactive interactive service?" ”

Xiao Er smiled: "For example, you are in the suburbs of Zhonghai City, and the sister-in-law is in a certain location in Zhonghai City, when you want to find her, she does not need to tell you the specific cumbersome address, just need to directly transmit the coordinates of her location to you, you can navigate according to this coordinate, and even accurately, the navigation tells you that after arriving at the destination, you stop the car, push the car door, and the sister-in-law happens to stand outside the car door." ”

Zhang Wenhao suddenly became excited and blurted out: "This idea is so wonderful!" Right! In turn! Now everyone's favorite is the in-depth interactive function, otherwise, WeChat can not be so popular, if it is really to use this interactive function to serve the navigation, then in the future, our users in the navigation, there is no need to enter a detailed address in the terminal, directly ask the other party for a coordinate, navigation can be based on the location of the other party for accurate navigation, especially when the destination is not in the urban area, but in the suburbs or a node that is not very developed, according to the address navigation has lost the premise, but, All they need to do is send them their coordinates to you, and you'll know exactly where they are right now, even in the middle of nowhere. ”

Xiao Er praised again and again, and said: "If this is the case, then our system is also of great significance to outdoor rescue, when you need to rescue." Needless to say. You just need to present your coordinates to the other party. Then just wait patiently for the other party to rescue, there will never be a situation where you can't find someone! Moreover, our satellite positioning signal is much more powerful than GPS, as long as it is not in a few natural blind spots in nature, we can carry out positioning. ”

Zhang Wenhao is excited, if such an almost all-powerful positioning system is finally built, all users in the world will be in contact with it at the first moment. Completely abandon the traditional GPS, such a positioning system, can maintain a leading position in the world for at least 50 years, and this positioning system will also completely affect human life, work, and travel

Just when Dongchen satellites were still being launched around the world, Zhang Wenhao and Xiao Er had sorted out the 4D maps around the world, but this set of 4D maps had not been announced to the outside world. Once the last three satellites are in space, Orient will simultaneously release the Orient positioning system, Orient positioning terminals, and Eastchain's global 4D map to the world. On that day, Dongchen will once again shock the world.

The market value assessment of Airbus has finally come to an end, the Europeans and Dongchen have reached a unified consensus, and Dongchen is not ambiguous, Zhang Wenhao entrusted Long Xiaoyue, who is buying special industries for Dongchen in Paris, signed an acquisition agreement with the Europeans in Paris, Dongchen acquired 100% of the shares of Airbus from the hands of the European Aeronautical Defense Space Company with 18 billion euros, this acquisition can be said to be the largest single acquisition of European enterprises by Chinese enterprises this year.

Although the world has long known that Dongchen began to prepare for the acquisition of Airbus, but on the day of the acquisition of Airbus, the global media is still enthusiastic about this matter, and they are not surprised that the acquisition has been reached, because they know that the prey targeted by Dongchen has not yet escaped from the hands of Dongchen, and what they are really curious about is what will be the next step after Airbus is acquired by Dongchen, and what kind of answer will Dongchen present to the world in a short time.

Airbus, after being wholly acquired by Dongchen, changed its name to Dongchen Aerospace Company, and Dongchen Aeronautics, respectively, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dongchen, Zhang Wenhao is not ready to knead these two companies together, Airbus's foundation in Europe is already very large, so huge that he can't even move Airbus into China, so he decided to keep Airbus in Europe, keep the head office in France, he absorbed the previous Airbus employees, technicians, engineers, sales personnel and so on almost all the framework, Only the entire Airbus R&D department was dismissed, and no one was left.

This move makes the world feel that Dongchen is confident, Airbus's technology, they don't want it, and Airbus's backbone talents, they don't want it.

However, Raymond got the idea of Airbus, and after hearing about Dongchen's move, he quickly held a meeting at Boeing's headquarters in Seattle, and the meeting had only one topic: how to get the last surplus value from Airbus.

For Boeing, all the hardware of Airbus is gone, but the software has not been eroded by Dongchen, Raymond said ambitiously at the meeting: "We want to get all the intellectual property that we were interested in from Airbus at all costs, in addition, I hope that our human resources can do their best to attract all the core personnel of the Airbus R&D department to Boeing, so that we can combine the strengths of Boeing and Airbus, so that our aircraft have better performance and stronger technology elements." ”

Boeing senior management does not have any opinion on this, Boeing in recent years, in the aircraft manufacturing breakthrough point is almost lackluster, before the emergence of Dongchen, the international civil aviation passenger aircraft situation has become very relaxed, Boeing and Airbus's flagship model, has been more than ten or twenty years ago has been designed and produced models, during the period, Airbus launched the impractical A380, Boeing also launched a lot of problems later Boeing 787, but the two sides of the core model only two, Boeing 737, 777, Airbus's 320, 330.

If Boeing can absorb all the software of Airbus, and combine the two to take its strengths, then it will be of some help to Boeing's new model, which is like one day BMW and Mercedes-Benz merged, Mercedes-Benz retains its strong performance, luxury and perfect riding experience, and has BMW's sense of sport, handling and fashion, as long as there is no big deviation in the process of combination, then, the new product will inevitably have more highlights.

However, even if all the advantages of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Bugatti and Ferrari are added together, they are not as good as Dongchen Motors, so Zhang Wenhao does not feel the slightest worry about the integration of Boeing and Airbus in technology, no matter how they toss, they will not be able to compete with the future Dongchen aircraft.

Raymond was optimistic again, and he excitedly said to Boeing's top management: "Once Airbus's technology is integrated by us, we can make the best and best civil airliner in the world, so we must quickly launch new models and at least two epoch-making models!" In this case, Dongchen will definitely not be able to compete with us. ”

A designer said: "That being said, Dongchen has never played cards according to routines, and if Dongchen really wants to compete with us, I think the first thing they have to do is cut off our engine supply, and at that time, I am afraid that we will immediately fall into the quagmire and be unable to extricate ourselves." ”

Raymond's expression instantly cooled, pondered for a moment, and said: "This problem is unavoidable for us, after all, the engine is in Dongchen's hands, and we can't influence Dongchen's decision, however, if we make the aircraft better, I think, we still have a great chance, after all, no one knows what kind of aircraft Dongchen can build, if their aircraft has poor airworthiness and poor safety, I think, airlines all over the world will not rashly purchase their aircraft, at that time, Even if we lose the Dongchen engine, the airline can only choose to buy the aircraft from us, and the civil aviation industry will go back to the era before the emergence of Dongchen Aviation. ”

On the sixth day after Airbus was acquired by Dongchen, the Americans launched the last positioning satellite for Dongchen, and after the satellite was successfully put into orbit and began to work, Dongchen announced to the world at 2:30 a.m. Yanjing time: Dongchen's own research and development of the Dongchen satellite positioning system has completed the global coverage on a global scale, and Dongchen will hold a worldwide media public conference in Yanjing three days later, at that time, Dongchen will not only officially release the Dongchen positioning system, but also a number of positioning terminal modules of Dongchen. and the global 4D map developed by Dongchen itself.

The impact on the world is also very huge, the world has not recovered from the shock of Dongchen's acquisition of Airbus, and then Dongchen's global positioning system was declared successful, success is only the first step, Dongchen seems to have more mysteries unsolved, no one knows, what kind of shock and incredible is brewing in Dongchen this time.
