Chapter 979 - Spare Tire and Hole Cards (3/4)
On the first day of the launch of beep charging, it seems to have detonated a lot of topics.
Lithium-air batteries hand in hand wireless charging, the new energy industry is running into the field of "science fiction", although not everyone drives new energy vehicles, but almost the vast majority of people are curious about this new thing is beyond doubt.
And no matter how much is true, all kinds of gossip have spread all over the circle of friends.
With the arrival of the May Day Golden Week, it has pushed the popularity of beep charging to a new peak!
For this kind of new and strange new gadgets, even the owners of traditional fuel cars have expressed quite a strong interest, and some people who like to join in the fun have even registered a member to scan the code to park the car, just to check in and take pictures and send a circle of friends.
Anyway, it didn't cost a lot of money.
I have to say that this is a very successful marketing, neither Yida Plaza nor Li Tinghui expected that the name "lithium empty battery + wireless charging" coupled with the name Star Technology could detonate such a degree of topic, and even the passenger flow of Yida Plaza on the first day of the May Day Golden Week rose a little.
Looking at the soaring number of user registrations, a stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Regardless of whether the follow-up plan will go as smoothly as it is now.
At least this wave, they can be considered successful!
In fact, wireless charging is not a very black technology.
Although this piece started relatively late in China, it has actually been invested in the research and development of related technologies on an international scale, and has even achieved certain results.
For example, when Audi was developing new energy vehicles, it designed a set of solutions for the problem of efficiency loss in the transmission process, which made the transmitting coil at the end of the cable closer to the receiving coil at the bottom of the electric vehicle through a wireless charging system that can be lifted, so as to improve the efficiency of power transmission.
Going back 14 years, the Southern Dynasty planned to lay a 12-kilometer-long "wireless charging section" that could be charged while driving on the road. Of course, due to the high cost and difficult maintenance, the technology only stopped at the number of 12 kilometers and was not successfully promoted.
According to the plan made by Beep Charging in the BP book, the wireless charging business of Beep Charging will adopt a three-step strategy, the first step is to occupy more than 80% of the parking lots of large and medium-sized shopping malls and residential areas in Shanghai, and the second step is to promote the business to the planning area of the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, and to promote it to large and medium-sized business districts across the country.
As for the third step, nature is the ultimate form of the technology – charging the car anytime, anywhere, even when running on the road. That is, let the wireless charging technology cover more than 50% of the road network in the core area of the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration.
Of course, you still have to eat the food in one bite, and the program is only in its first phase.
But even so, the strength shown by this angel round of financing of only 10 million startups is quite scary......
Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Carbon-based semiconductor laboratory.
A group of staff in white coats are busy in front of an experimental equipment that covers a large area.
After several months of hard work, with the cooperation of many domestic semiconductor companies such as Shenji, which has high-precision machine tools, Baosheng Group, which has SG-1 normal temperature superconducting material production technology, and Huawei HiSilicon, this giant equipment integrates the function of "chemical deposition + etching".
The device acts like a "lithography machine" in the field of carbon-based semiconductors, capable of processing preliminarily treated raw materials and directly "growing" the resulting carbon nanotransistors onto bilayer graphene materials that coincide at special angles.
If a few months ago, the carbon-based semiconductor laboratory could only produce "handmade samples" with a process of 150nm and an integration level of 300,000 per square millimeter, now the laboratory has been able to reduce the process to a maximum of 80nm, and the integration level has been increased by an order of magnitude.
If it is not for mobile phones, computers and other electronic products with particularly high requirements for processor performance, carbon-based chips with a process of 80nm and 300,000 carbon transistors per square millimeter actually have a lot of application value.
The higher the level of chip integration, the better, but not all fields are so demanding on high technology.
For example, in the field of surveillance, and then in the field of routers......
Of course, what this semiconductor laboratory is developing is not a monitor or router chip, and it has nothing to do with the recent "Longteng" series of high-end chips that signed a tripartite agreement, but has nothing to do with the wireless charging technology that has recently aroused heated discussions.
At this moment, the sound of gas being released sounded softly, and the researchers gathered in front of the experimental equipment let out exclamations.
Looking at the data presented on the computer, Professor Wu Tianqun, who was propped up on the console with his hands, had a look of ecstasy on his face.
“…… Nailed it! ”
Lu Zhou, who was standing next to him, hurriedly asked.
"Already successful?"
"Hmm!" Professor Wu Tianqun nodded vigorously and said in an affirmative tone, "Very successful, successful can not be more successful!" I'll show it to you later, and you'll know! ”
It didn't make Lu Zhou wait long.
Soon, a chip the size of a thumbnail was removed from the device.
Looking at the chip stored in the bottle-shaped brown glass cover, a hint of shock and relief gradually appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
This is the second finished chip developed by the carbon-based semiconductor laboratory.
The first one is for scientific calculators, and there is nothing special about it. And this one is used in wireless charging receiver and transmitter equipment, and the technical content is still a bit high.
As we all know, because it involves the problem of electromagnetic conversion, wireless charging technology can be roughly divided into two parts: receiving and transmitting, and if it is specifically subdivided into the functional components of the receiving end and the transmitter, it can also be divided into chips, coil modules, magnetic materials, scheme design, and system integration.
Coil modules, magnetic materials and everything is fine, these are not high-tech categories, and there are not many patent barriers that cannot be bypassed, but the chip is different.
Almost all technical barriers are concentrated in the integrated design of receiver chips and systems, and their profits can even account for 30% of the total profits of the wireless charging industry chain.
At present, the main customers of these technologies are mobile phones, but with the continuous progress of new energy technology, there are now new energy vehicles.
In fact, in addition to the road of self-developed chips, there are also many international chip suppliers to choose from. In fact, the chips installed in the first batch of charging pile equipment are produced by major international chip manufacturers.
But now that the carbon-based chips have been made, Huawei HiSilicon, in which Star Technology is a shareholder, has also shifted from the "pure R&D + foundry" model to the "R&D + semi-self-production" model.
Even if you use those bought chips for the time being, when the time is ripe, you will have to replace them all.
Looking at the chip in Lu Zhou's hand, Professor Wu Tianqun was excited, like a child's father, and his mouth couldn't stop babbling.
"After two months of tossing, it's finally come out, we have to give this thing a nice name!"
In fact, when he said this, Professor Wu didn't intend to ask Lu Zhou's opinion, but he sighed purely because he was too excited.
But what he didn't expect was that the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Lu Zhou felt that there was some truth after listening to it, so he thought about it seriously.
A nice name?
It's kind of difficult......
After thinking for a long time, just when Professor Wu Tianqun was about to leave the chip sample in his hand and put it in the warehouse for storage, Lu Zhou suddenly raised his head and said.
"It's called...... The BB system is good. ”
Wu Tianqun: "......? ”
Researchers: "......??? ”
Lu Zhou: "? ”
One person stares at a group of people.
The atmosphere was awkward for many seconds.
Lu Zhou, who was stared at by so many people, was also confused, and he didn't know why these scientific research dogs looked at him like this.
emmmm……
What's wrong with the name?
Just when Lu Zhou was also a little embarrassed by this atmosphere and wondered if he should change his name, Professor Wu Tianqun broke the silence in the laboratory and said with a smile.
"This ...... This name is definitely not good, first of all, don't say whether it's good or not, our project is not the one that beeps and charges, even to avoid misunderstandings, you can't mix it with them! ”
“…… Professor Wu said the same, "Seeing that so many people were opposed, Lu Zhou could only give up the opportunity to name the boat, looking at him and sweating, "Then what do you say is the name?" ”
Wu Tianqun said categorically.
"Lei Gong!"
"Lei Gong?"
"Hmm!" Wu Tianqun nodded, the whole person was like a drug, and said energetically, "The flat ground is thundering, and it is a blockbuster!" Since our chip intends to go to the world and shock the world, then this name can't be casual! ”
"Makes sense," Lu Zhou thought for a while, although he didn't think that this name was much better than he thought, but he still nodded reluctantly in approval, "Then it's as you say!" ”
