Chapter 89 Dynamic Testing
Only in the process of dynamic driving can the real problems of a car be found, and even in the future, tens of thousands of kilometers of road tests with different road conditions will be required.
However, Chen Zifan wants to create a "exquisite" atmosphere has been created, in his opinion, the main direction of the new energy mini car is exquisite, rather than the "cost performance" and "can be used" of traditional fuel vehicles.
This is the case with the Xinghan NI, which needs to be good when people see it, feel a sense of pleasure from the heart when they sit inside, and feel comfortable while driving.
All kinds of feelings add up, which is what people often call "happiness", but Xinghan NI is only a product after all, and it is impossible for everyone to like it, it only needs to be optimized to the best for its audience.
Chen Zifan tried the various physical buttons of Xinghan ni without starting, the texture of the plastic parts is very good, and the feeling is also very crisp, whether it is the sense of pressure or the sound feedback, it is very good.
Seeing this, Mo Shaokun said very proudly:
"Our interiors are all slush molded, and unlike ordinary hard plastics, it has a better texture and lower gloss... So when you are exposed to the light, you don't have that greasy feeling, but you have a sense of luxury..."
This sense of luxury does not mean that it should be compared with luxury cars, but it is a visual perception, and low saturation is easier for people to feel this way, which is why many brands prefer to use Morandi colors.
Morandi color refers to gray colors with low saturation, such as OnePlus's hydrogen OS, which uses a large number of Morandi colors as the basis, which will appear more advanced, but later OnePlus's positioning has changed~
The texture of slush molding is indeed better than that of hard plastics with lower costs, in addition to slush molding, Xinghan ni's interior also uses a large number of imitation leather materials, real leather can not be used, and imitation leather with higher durability is enough.
There is no deliberate effort to save the cost of some details, the same way, the effect of imitation leather material is also a low-saturation color, and when it is matched with slush molding, the visual perception has been completely full.
Coupled with Chen Zifan's specially customized comfortable seats, the experience of sitting in the car is very good, not to say how advanced its functions are, but every detail, even when adjusting the seat, will feel very smooth.
"After the inspection is carried out first to ensure that there is no problem, the next step is to prepare for the field test, the basic site of Haitian Driving School has almost been built, there is no problem to go there, and besides, one test car is not enough..."
After Chen Zifan got out of the car, he groaned a little and said, in fact, Mo Shaokun and others also thought so, and they would do it without his instructions, Chen Zifan is professional in terms of mobile phones, but it is not necessarily true when it comes to cars~
Of course, they also know what Chen Zifan is best at, and even if the advice given by Chen Zifan is useless, there will be no directional error.
"I understand, everything is difficult at the beginning, the first test car has come out, and the rest of the progress is also very fast, we will prepare a total of 30 test vehicles in the early stage, and the various tests and test data will come out soon."
Chen Zifan nodded, and then said: "Quality is the key, every detail must be done well, I won't say anything superfluous, you all understand..."
As the first new energy vehicle product of Xinghan Zhixing, Xinghan NI can affect many people's first impression of new energy vehicles, but it is a direct decision... Not really, every brand needs to grow.
Wuling, Chang'an, Geely, BYD, Great Wall... The products of these brands were not very good at the beginning, but people can see that the products of these brands are constantly improving, and then they have a new perception of the brand.
No one can do it perfectly at the beginning, and the same is true for new energy vehicle brands, so Chen Zifan's mentality is very peaceful, and he is even ready to face all kinds of accidents and condemnation in advance.
But Chen Zifan will definitely do the hard work: "You are responsible for the things here, and you can call me directly when the test is close to the venue."
Chen Zifan gave a simple order, and then returned to the Stardust factory, Xinghan Ni was already preparing, and Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+, which were products of the same period, must also prepare in advance to deal with next year's market.
Although there are no chips yet, neither Dimensity 300 nor Changhe 3, MediaTek has determined the architecture of Dimensity 300 and started the first round of tape, even if there are adjustments, it will basically not change.
Therefore, Chen Zifan can start the motherboard design around the Dimensity 300, and then solder the Dimensity 300 directly to the motherboard for debugging, but the design of this aspect is responsible for the engineer team.
As for Changhe 3 and Stardust 3+, they are not in a hurry for the time being, and the Changhe project team will have at least three months to start up and measure, and then the chip design of Changhe 3 can be completely determined, and now he can't use it if he wants to.
All he needs to do is determine the design of Stardust 3 according to the cost, and according to his plan, Stardust 3 will continue the design language of Stardust 2, further improve the peripheral configuration, and make adjustments to the screen.
Give up Stardust 1 and Stardust 2 equal width at the top and bottom, equal width on the left and right, increase the screen-to-body ratio, and use a design that has been verified: digging holes, no bangs, no pills, these are unnecessary in Chen Zifan's opinion.
First of all, Stardust 3 will not put so many sensors in the front camera area, and secondly, the notch screen, the visual experience of the pill screen is not good, of course, this kind of thing is very subjective, and everyone's style is different.
Some people like bangs and pill screens, but Chen Zifan prefers to use a "complete" screen.
Stardust Technology's screen technology has reached the standard, and as the level of [Stardust Technology] increases, you can try to make some more advanced attempts.
According to Chen Zifan's judgment, the current screen level of Stardust Technology is roughly between 15~18 years, and what is lacking is only the breadth of the color gamut, which is also limited by the panel material process, and there is no way to directly improve it.
But compared with the screens of other manufacturers, the Stardust screen is already too far ahead, but the color accuracy of the Stardust Technology screen is very high, and it can almost be used as a measure, which is very friendly to design workers.
This is also one of the reasons why the Stardust tablet can sell well after it is listed, and the Stardust Marketing Department invites some industry insiders to do some copywriting in the name of painting and design, and the publicity effect is very good.
With some learning software developed by Stardust Network, more and more students and people who have just entered the social work are attracted by Stardust Tablet, hoping to start a second career through Stardust Tablet. ….
Of course, there are certainly not many successful people, side hustles are not so easy to find, and in the end these stardust tablets are used for study, work, and entertainment, there is no way to know, who said that learning must be good, and playing games must be bad?
In fact, the technology of digging hole screen is not mature in the early stage, and the notch screen is not directly over to the hole digging screen, and the product of water drop screen also appeared during the period.
But the water drop screen is not much more mature than the hole digging screen, and it is not beautiful in Chen Zifan's opinion.
Therefore, the hole-digging screen + 3G chip is the main improvement of Stardust 3, and the remaining minor improvements are 30 fast charging, 30 wireless fast charging, front and rear 5 million pixel cameras, optical image stabilization, new process glass cover, etc.
The wireless fast charging on Xinghan ni uses 30 fast charging, and the wired fast charging has also been increased to 30, which has been upgraded on the basis of the previous 20 fast charging, but the battery capacity of Xingchen 3 has not changed.
It is still 3300 mAh, 30 fast charging is full of ideals, 0~100 charging speed is close to the one-hour mark, if it can be an hour, the marketing department will definitely hype it on this basis.
A new upgrade has also been made in terms of image, the front camera has also been increased to 5 million pixels, and optical image stabilization has been added for the first time.
Not only roll other mobile phone manufacturers,It's also rolling its own products,With his strict requirements for products,Stardust3The image level is not necessarily the best,But it is certainly the most stable,Use the sense of use experience to open the product gap。
If Stardust 3 is a true all-rounder... The Stardust 3+ is a fully upgraded super cup on the basis of the Stardust 3, and it is a true all-round flagship.
The specific configuration Chen Zifan already has a very clear direction, it depends on whether the chip Changhe 3 can be expected
At the same time, he also prepared the accessories for the special model in the second plan in advance.
So as not to have any accidents in the process~
After solving this part of the matter, Chen Zifan went to the statistics group of the marketing department to take a look, and the sales data of Stardust 2 and Stardust tablets were still as stable as old dogs, and Feng Yuan, the leader of the statistics group, briefly told him about the situation:
"The national shipments of Stardust 2 are currently stable in the range of 5~80,000 units per day, and the shipments of Stardust tablets are stable in the range of 1~20,000 units per day... On some holidays, sales will increase by about 2 times."
Chen Zifan nodded, he was not surprised by this sales data, the shipment capacity of Stardust tablets is still relatively weak, and people are also rationally considering their own needs after getting used to the tablet product.
Compared with tablets, smartphones are just needed in this era, and with more and more Internet companies joining and IFI popularizing, the number of Stardust users is also skyrocketing, and the proportion of daily active users is very high.
Confirming that Stardust Technology is still developing steadily, Chen Zifan finally received a call from Li Yuan: "Chen Dong, we have prepared 5 test vehicles, and we are ready to go to Haitian Driving School tomorrow for a simple field test..."
"Okay, I see."
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Chen Zifan had already changed into a looser sportswear and arrived at the Xinghan Automobile Factory, and he was greeted by Mo Shaokun, who was wrapped in gauze several times on his head and driven by bandages.
"Holy! What's the situation with you?" ….
"It's okay, a little injury..."
Chen Zifan: ???
Do you call this a minor injury?
Li Yuan explained on the side: "I'm also speechless, this kid just finished the test and went to the corner test, and used a speed of 75 to cross the corner, the speed is too fast, and Xinghan Ni is light, so he lost control and hit it..."
Chen Zifan: ......
Mo Shaokun was very stiff-mouthed: "This is my confidence in my own products! A small bump is nothing, people have to have the spirit of sacrifice, I'm going to test the maximum cornering speed of Xinghan ni!"
As soon as the words fell, he turned his gaze to Chen Zifan: "Hey, Xinghan ni is slipping on the side, and the tire grip is a little insufficient, do we have to..."
Chen Zifan didn't bother to complain, it's a miracle that such a light car as Xinghan ni didn't turn over: "You can provide the option of replacing tires at directly operated stores, but now the tires are already the best in the cost range."
He also reconfirmed the situation:
"Are you alright?"
"Don't worry! I'm in really good shape!"
Chen Zifan nodded, and then several people squeezed into a Xinghan ni, as long as the inspection was passed, there was no problem with the safety of the vehicle, so he didn't worry about accidents, and sat directly in the driver's seat.
Mo Shaokun couldn't help but interject again, "You have to drive steadily!" Don't bump into the road if it's not good, look at the wound on my head! It was blown up by an airbag!"
"You think everyone is like you? Your driving habits are too dangerous, your safety awareness is too poor, think about it, if you go faster and have an accident, and the car is not on the market, who will remember your efforts?"
Mo Shaokun was silent when he heard this, and began to reflect deeply on the side, safe driving is really important, driving is not standardized, and relatives are in tears...
I have to say that Chen Zifan is really stable in driving, and he also hopes to be able to drive the car he built as soon as possible, so that he can throw the original Dandan car into the warehouse and eat ashes.
When the five Xinghan ni with mosaic stickers ran on the way to the Bund in Haicheng, although there were fewer people on the Bund, it still attracted the attention of many people and vehicles, and some cars even ran to the front to take pictures.
It's a pity that the mosaic stickers on it make it impossible for them to tell which brand of test car it is.
At the front is Chen Zifan's car, and the rear ones are driven by testers, the road on the Haicheng Bund is not easy to walk, and the suspension of Xinghan ni is still with the front independent rear link, and shaking is naturally inevitable.
The initial driving experience is not particularly comfortable, but it is not bad either, in line with the positioning of Xinghan NI, and it can even be compared with higher-priced cars.
There are two points that surprised Chen Zifan, one is the sound, the other is the acceleration, on this kind of potholed road, Xinghan ni actually did not have any abnormal sound, but unfortunately Xinghan ni's quietness is really average...
Limited by cost, not to mention sound insulation, fuel vehicles at the same price are not necessarily better than it.
The second is acceleration, when the electric door is stepped deeply, the acceleration process of Xinghan NI is very linear.
This linear acceleration is very in line with people's basic intuition, compared to the straight power output will be more comfortable to drive, and the sound of the motor turning is also very good, without that kind of sharp current sound.
In fact, if Chen Zifan wants to do it, Xinghan ni can't hear any motor sound when driving, but being too quiet is not necessarily a good thing, and people also need some operational feedback when driving new energy vehicles.
Sound is also a type of feedback, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who want to change the exhaust as soon as they buy a car.
Chen Zifan remembers that the Great Wall's Ora always likes to use some strange things on his products, such as the analog sound wave on the lightning cat... I can see that they have ideas in it, but they are actually embarrassed.
New energy vehicles do not need to change gears, and there is a pause in the sound of accelerating gear shifts in their simulated sounds, Chen Zifan really can't understand this behavior, why do you have to go to the fuel car?
This is originally two different types of products, new energy vehicles have their own characteristics, it has its own unique driving experience, driving fun, why do you want to simulate the sound, advertise to have a sense of driving with oil vehicles?
Chen Zifan believes that the most important thing is to give full play to the characteristics of his products, and he may not feel it on Xinghan ni, but the future may not be necessarily~
But he soon found a problem, the brakes of this Xinghan ni are not easy to use, the foot feel of the brake pedal is good, but there is a problem with the braking force:
"The brakes have to be adjusted again, I just clicked on it and there is such a heavy braking force, the whole person is going to rush forward, and the second half of the brake is very weak, and I have stepped on it very deeply, but there is no response."
"Test car... It's normal to have a problem, I'll write it down and I'll readjust it!"
