Chapter 695: Entering Electric Vehicles?
And after that, there is the energy problem, which is also a problem that bothers us very much, because the current energy density is the highest ternary lithium battery.
This thing can barely meet our needs, but it is very expensive to manufacture, and the safety is too poor, and there is a certain possibility of spontaneous combustion.
Although the safety of other lithium iron phosphate batteries is higher, the energy density is too low, and the energy density of other lithium cobalt oxide batteries is average and not very safe.
In general, the problems we have in terms of energy are not small, and it takes a lot of energy to solve this problem. ”
Hearing Ni Guangnan talk about the current problems, the people at the scene all felt a little headache.
I have to say that at this time, with Ni Guangnan's explanation, they found that this home robot does not seem to be easy to produce, if the problem mentioned by Ni Guangnan is not solved, the home robot may never be able to land.
"Is it really time to focus on industrial robots? With the current technology of human beings, it may be necessary to develop industrial robots for various purposes with lower requirements, lower requirements for body size and lifespan. ”
At this time, the person who uttered the words of frustration was Chen Dong, the head of Dawning Manufacturing and Dawning Electronics.
After hearing Ni Guangnan's words, he no longer had much confidence in home robots, and felt that home robots might not be able to land for more than a few years.
"I also think that the focus should be on industrial robots, or directly lower the goal of home robots, such as directly abandoning the humanoid form and adopting a large shell and arm structure."
Professor Zhang Rujing, the head of Sugon Semiconductor on the side, also expressed his views.
"I think the same way."
Huang Hua also expressed his opinion.
And then other people at the scene also expressed their opinions, all of them had little confidence in home robots.
I think that they should make it easier to develop, not necessarily pursue humanoids, and not necessarily require home robots to do so many things, and should reduce the capabilities of home robots.
Or think that the R&D personnel and R&D funds of home robots should be reduced, and the development of industrial robots should be focused on first.
It can be said that in their hearts, it is estimated that there is no possibility of landing in a few years, and they should focus on other things first.
"No, the home robot cannot be given up, because the home robot is the sharpest knife we will hold in our hands in the future.
Moreover, once the material problems and energy problems encountered by home robots are solved, the benefits may not be inferior to the combined profits of the mobile phone and computer industries. ”
In the face of a depressed mood, Lin Chen said something completely different from the people on the scene, making everyone at the scene slightly stunned.
It is true that it is very difficult to solve many problems faced by current home robots, and it may theoretically take several years or more than ten years to complete the development of home robots.
After all, materials are really not something that you can develop if you want to develop them, the birth of materials is inevitable and accidental, and the money you need to burn if you want to develop materials is enough to make you feel pain.
But all this was under the condition that Lin Chen was not personally involved in research and development.
If Lin Chen personally participates in the research and development, with the ten virtual avatars of the virtual laboratory, plus the virtual laboratory's cost-free replication and refresh of equipment and replication of the latest status.
In this case, if Lin Chen goes to engage in material research and development, it will really be a mouse falling into the rice tank, and he has found the right major.
Therefore, Lin Chen is very confident in solving the problem of materials and energy.
Of course, not to mention the material problems, just strive to develop a suitable alloy, and Lin Chen's goal is also very big in terms of energy problems.
Because Lin Chen recalled the problem of electric vehicles in his previous life and the high oil prices in Daxia.
In the previous life, the price of automobile oil was already high, and the average price of No. 92 gasoline was as high as 8 yuan per liter, so Lin Chen couldn't help but complain that the oil price was so high.
Of course, this is an exaggerated statement, Lin Chen, who worked as a core R&D staff at Bitty Motors in his previous life, was not so poor that he couldn't afford to add oil.
The reason why Lin Chen complained so much was that he thought that the proportion of monthly transportation expenses was too high, to the point that it was a little unreasonable.
In his previous life, Lin Chen's daily commute was as high as 25 kilometers, coupled with air conditioning and traffic jams, the average fuel consumption of his car was as high as 10 liters per 100 kilometers, and the fuel cost alone reached 600 yuan per month.
600 yuan is not a small amount, this money plus a little can buy a low-end Redmi mobile phone, of course, in fact, Lin Chen's monthly gas money is not 600 yuan, but thousands of yuan.
Because Lin Chen's car is not only used for commuting, he usually goes to the park or where to buy something, which adds up to thousands of yuan of gas money a month.
As much as thousands of dollars in fuel money every month, Lin Chen in his previous life really couldn't help but have the idea of selling the fuel car and replacing it with the old club Beati electric car, but before Lin Chen could really change to an electric car, Lin Chen crossed over.
At this time, electric vehicles had not yet been born, and although there were already physical products, they were only some prototype products.
Lin Chen thought that in this life, he might be able to steal the electric car business of his old club Beatty.
After all, for Lin Chen, it is not a problem to make electric vehicles or even fully autonomous electric vehicles.
In terms of the overall technology of automobiles, Shuguang Automobile is famous all over the world, and the annual output of Shuguang Automobile is as high as 15 million units, and the autonomous driving technology has been developed for a long time, and it is said that the results are about to be released.
As for the autonomous driving chip, the current first-generation memristor chip has been designed, and there is naturally no problem with using it in the car.
It can be said that the problem that hinders Sugon Technology from producing fully autonomous electric vehicles is actually the problem of the motor and battery, and other aspects of technology are not a problem for Sugon Technology.
Of course, the motor is not a problem for Lin Chen, he worked in the previous life of BYD Automobile, and he knows the flat wire motor of BYD Automobile well.
So in fact, there is only one energy problem hindering Lin Chen, as long as Lin Chen solves the energy problem, he can directly develop and produce his own fully autonomous electric vehicle!
As for how to solve the energy problem, Lin Chen's decision is to start with ternary lithium batteries, after all, although lithium iron phosphate batteries are safe, their energy density is too low.
Although in the previous life, the old club Villadi Automobile made a blade battery, which can be regarded as a new year for lithium iron phosphate batteries.
But its energy density is still too low, and in the long run, it simply cannot meet the needs of Sugon Technology.
In addition, lithium iron phosphate batteries also have a fatal flaw, which is that lithium iron phosphate batteries want to achieve the power of ternary lithium batteries, which needs to pay a larger volume, which is up to more than 80%.
Therefore, lithium iron phosphate batteries are not suitable for Shuguang Technology, after all, the battery is to be installed on a humanoid home robot, so naturally the battery volume cannot be too large.
