Chapter Eighty-Eight: The First Test Car

"I have to say that this new energy vehicle is much more labor-saving than fuel vehicles, the power system is different, and the powertrain is not so troublesome, but this... I don't know if the single-motor rear-wheel drive will work."

"Afraid of what? Our permanent magnet synchronous motor has not been experimented, but it has 52 horsepower, 37k maximum power, and 90N torque, which is completely enough for a car that can pull less than 900 kg!"

Mo Shaokun is very confident in his judgment, don't look at the 52 horsepower is not even as good as a van, but it is completely enough on the Xinghan Ni, and the single-speed gearbox accelerates very smoothly at 80K.

Step on the electric door to the end, according to the estimate, it is not much of a problem to run 110k, which may be a disadvantage on a fuel car, but it is very suitable for a three-door and four-seater micro car like Xinghan NI.

Need that fast acceleration performance? In terms of limited cost, it is the key to make Xinghan NI more "all-round" and "prominent" as much as possible.

Even if there is no assistance from some fuel car companies, Mo Shaokun and others will try their best to complete the assembly of Xinghan NI's test car this month, saying that it is a test car, but it is actually almost the same as a finished car.

Stamping machines, robot welders, robot paint shops, automotive workers... There are all the things that should be there, and most of them are directly moved by Mo Shaokun from some car companies, so the progress can be so fast.

According to him, Mo Changming, chairman of Huaya Group, that is, his father, experienced the first introduction of cars in the 90s, when the imported brand was Volkswagen, and Mo Changming also came up with the idea of making a car.

It's a pity that the development model of Huaya Group can't end up in cars, but in terms of playing cars, there must be a father and a son, Mo Changming is a master of playing cars, and Mo Shaokun also played under the influence of his little ears.

Huaya Group does not make cars, but its subsidiary Huaya Holdings has invested in many automobile manufacturers, although the proportion is not high, but the combined influence is considerable, and it is not difficult to engage in a batch of advanced equipment.

Chen Zifan is also happy to see this situation, which directly saves him a lot of work, and then he can upgrade the machinery and equipment of each factory to a new level through [Analysis Copycat] and [Synthetic Creation].

Regarding the progress of Xinghanni's work, he can see the [Stardust Technology] in his consciousness, and he will go over when the test car is built, but now he still has to solve some details of the Changhe chip project first.

First of all, the original chip project team of the Stardust Factory was reorganized and renamed the Changhe Project Team, with a total of 269 people, but these people are definitely not enough, and more chip engineers need to be recruited.

There is [Stardust Technology] w w w.. com, regardless of whether the recruited engineers have other purposes, Chen Zifan is not worried, [Stardust Technology] will subtly influence them, so that they will trust Stardust Technology.

Moreover, the real core technology has always been in the hands of Chen Zifan, and the work content of each person in the Changhe project team is also very detailed, and the daily relevance of each group in the project team is not so great.

This is also the reason why Chen Zifan dares to recruit and dig corners with confidence, and if it is not good, he can continue to recruit ordinary employees, and select some capable and knowledgeable people for key training, which can also achieve results. ….

According to his estimates, if the Changhe project team can be expanded to about 500 people, and all of them are elites, it will be enough, the Stardust Factory only specializes in chip production lines, and the rest is not under Chen Zifan's control.

The cooperation with the official Stardust Technology is only a part of the technology, part of the money, the rest of the people, the site selection, land and other issues are naturally responsible, can lie down to make money without taking greater risks, why not?

Of course, Chen Zifan has released the technology only without [synthesis and creation], and it is not a complete version, and he may not consider licensing more obsolete technologies when it is completely stabilized.

In this way, it can give full play to its maximum value, instead of throwing it in the [Stardust Technology] technology library to eat dust.

To ensure that Stardust Technology can always occupy an advantage, and will not wipe out the market vitality all at once, the development of science and technology can never be high, it must be with people

Relationships are the only way to burst out with the greatest vitality.

Stardust Technology's products will play a leading role in making everyone's life better, further stimulating social development, and achieving the "future" in Chen Zifan's heart, which is what he wants.

He doesn't care about anything else, Stardust Technology's chip production and processing equipment is already being prepared, and some raw materials and parts are not in the Stardust ecological chain, and they still need to wait a little longer, but the rest of the progress is very fast.

According to estimates, the daily production capacity of a Changhe chip production line can reach 360,000 chips, excluding some of these defective products, which are also more than 300,000 chips.

If Stardust 3 also uses Changhe chips, the production capacity will definitely not be enough, but if only Changhe chips are used for the higher-end Stardust 3+, then the production capacity of a production line can basically meet Chen Zifan's needs.

That being said, Stardust Technology's products are not only Stardust phones, but also other electronic products built around Stardust OS, such as tablets.

In addition, there are new energy vehicles of Xinghan Zhixing, don't look at Xinghan NI and Xinghan 01 are still far away, but new energy vehicles are also large consumers of chips, and a car needs at least 500 chips to start.

Of course, not every of these 500 chips has to be Changhe chips, and there is no need to use such a good chip if it is only responsible for basic functions, even so, the amount of chips required for new energy vehicles is also very large.

In Chen Zifan's product planning, new energy vehicles are also only starting products, and the scope of new energy is not only limited to lithium batteries, but also solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries, methanol, wind energy, hydrogen energy, etc.

The future must be upward, what kind of products may appear, Chen Zifan is just on the basis of the existing continuous exploration, new energy vehicles are already on the road, and there is no problem to go again.

But after the full popularization of new energy vehicles, there will be no predecessors to provide experience, and it will be up to Chen Zifan and Xingchen Technology to create a new path by themselves.

While Chen Zifan was preparing for the Changhe chip project, Wang Jinli and others finally came back from Barcelona, and it can be seen from the red faces of him, cadres and employees that they have brought back a lot of good news.

First of all, Wang Jinli has cooperated with many operators, the exact number is 16, all of which are relatively developed regions with strong consumption capacity, but they still have to make some adjustments if they want to enter their market. ….

From language to communication... The language is simple, and the SIM card in some places in communication is not the same as that of Huaxia, and a batch of components have to be customized, but this part of the work is not very troublesome.

SIM cards may vary in details from place to place, but they are all similar in structure, and the important thing is not this, but the opening of overseas markets.

Compared with the stronger Stardust 2 and Stardust tablets, these operators prefer to get the product Stardust 1, and now that the cost and price of Stardust 1 have come down, they also want to make more profits from it.

Some areas where IFI technology is relatively underdeveloped have also accepted the technology authorization of Stardust Technology, so that Chen Zifan can not only earn licensing fees, but also make money from selling mobile phones, as well as the cost of putting them on the shelves.

Next, it is only necessary to adjust different products according to different markets, and Chen Zifan immediately set up a special project team in the Xingchen factory to be responsible for the production of products for overseas markets, and the overall efficiency is very high.

On the other hand, as soon as the cadres and employees who had just participated in the World Communications Conference returned to their posts, they were surrounded by colleagues, on the one hand, they were envious, and on the other hand, they wanted to know what foreign countries were like:

"I envy you! Tell me about Barcelona! Are there any photos to see? That's fine, too! Oh, I'll go, this foreigner..."

"Yes, this is a group photo, I took it myself, I recorded it... I can't describe the specifics, but you'll find out for yourself."

"Anyway, it's not as good as expected, you can see cans littered on the street, but it's not that bad, everything is as expected."

"Come on! Our Stardust 1 is going to be sold to the world! Everyone has the opportunity to go abroad!"

"Out

What is a country? There will be more opportunities for business trips in the future! Maybe I might even be able to go to space!"

"Haha, forget about going to space, I don't dare to think about it in my lifetime, but I can consider going abroad, I want to save enough money to go to Norway to see what the aurora looks like..."

"I want to travel to the Mediterranean!"

"I want to go on an adventure in the Grand Canyon..."

"I want to..."

In the process of discussion, many employees suddenly thought of one thing: how long has it been since they talked about the word "ideal"? What is your ideal? Buying a car or a house? It doesn't seem like this...

But what exactly?

Only then did they suddenly realize that the young man who was once full of enthusiasm and yearning for the future was dead, and all that was left was a compromise on life.

"I remember, the place I used to want to go to the most was Jiuzhaigou! There are deer there! There are waterfalls! There is also a sea of five flowers! It's so colorful..."

「……」

Chen Zifan once read the letter written by Chen Jianjun, which was full of youthful spirit and ideals, but in his impression, Chen Jianjun has always been a beetle running for life, only thinking about how to make money every day...

Sometimes he will even do whatever it takes to make money, and the safety risks of the old man's music without quality assurance are very large, but he knows that Chen Jianjun can not care about anyone or anything, but he will not care about his family.

He thinks that everyone has been young, but he hopes that everyone will not forget how young they were. ….

After Wang Jinli returned, Stardust Technology soon entered a new busy period, and all work was progressing in an orderly manner, and the first batch of Stardust 1 after the transformation finally boarded the freighter to other regions.

At the same time, at the Xinghan Automobile Factory, Mo Shaokun, Li Yuan and others finally produced the first test car, and unlike the last "tattered" test car, this time the Xinghan NI is very close to the final form.

After Chen Zifan checked the progress in the [Stardust Technology] in his consciousness, he went directly to the Xinghan Automobile Factory and saw the test car of Xinghan NI in the inspection workshop, which was almost the same as he expected.

The sleek shape is more like Changan LUN, but there are many differences in details, such as a rear single motor, non-hidden physical door handles, LCD instruments, comfortable seats, 10.8-inch central control screen...

In this era when it is basically a hand-cranked window and a mechanical handbrake, Xinghan Ni is also equipped with an electric lifting window and an electronic handbrake, of course, there are only two window glasses in the whole car, and there is nothing unusual about electric lifting.

The 10.8-inch central control screen on it is the same size as the Stardust tablet, but it has a lot less functions, leaving only basic music, reversing images and other functions.

In addition, Xinghan NI is also equipped with on-board IFI and wireless charging, which is also a preparation for follow-up products, on-board IFI is the use of its own patents, and wireless charging is prepared for subsequent new products.

Neither Stardust 1 nor Stardust 2 supports wireless charging, but both Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+ will support wireless charging and will be one of the must-have configurations in the future.

In terms of safety, Xinghan NI is equipped with four airbags as standard, although the four airbags are just ordinary, but it is much better than directly cutting off the whole car airbag or passenger airbag in order to save costs, safety is really important.

Xinghan Zhixing does not belong to the car brand that develops from the top down, it is from the bottom up, and it cannot be the same as the products launched by Wuling and Geely in the future, not to mention that consumers in this year are very concerned about safety.

At the same time, the 20-degree lithium battery can theoretically reach the endurance level of 200K, and the existing lithium battery and ternary lithium battery structure of Stardust Technology are very similar, and they are not qualified in terms of heat resistance and frost resistance.

Therefore, Chen Zifan also specially added a temperature management device, which can ensure that the lithium battery is in the temperature range of the best active state as much as possible, but in case of special circumstances, it is inevitable that the battery life will be discounted.

As the first new energy vehicle product of Xinghan Zhixing, it is impossible to be perfect, Chen Zifan has already done a good job of psychological construction for himself, no matter what shortcomings Xinghan Ni has, he can accept it.

Seeing Chen Zifan coming, Mo

Shao Kun is very excited: "The door size of the Xinghan NI is one lap larger than that of some sedans, and the driving space is really great! I'm 183 tall, and it's not crowded at all to sit in!"

Chen Zifan's height is taller than Mo Shaokun, he also tried to go up, and when he got into the car, the sound of opening and closing the door was very crisp, and the interior style of the car was also fashionable, using a large number of imitation leather materials.

In addition to the common black inside and outside, there are more eye-catching colors such as pink and white, blue and white, but unfortunately these colors are not very dirty.

Chen Zifan's height of 185 is indeed not crowded, and a simple adjustment of the seat position can quickly find the most comfortable driving position, if the height exceeds 185... It may not be appropriate to drive this car.

Fortunately, the average height in this year is generally short, with more than 99% of people under 185 accounting for more than 99%, even if you occasionally meet some individual consumers, it is an unexpected situation.

On the positive note, although the test car has just been assembled, there is very little residual industrial odor in the car, but it is too early to draw conclusions, and the initial static experience will not feel anything.
