Chapter 73: Fireflies

Before being transported out of the final assembly building, Xinyuan's engineers opened the cargo hold on the back of Progress again to check the XC4's fixation and camera installation...... And its pilot, Mr.: an empty model of a spacesuit.

Xin'an XC4, the front and rear motors output power, the front motor output 216 kilowatts, the rear motor output 437 kilowatts, the total output power of 653 kilowatts, 870 horsepower, the maximum output torque of 1120NĀ· Mļ¼›

0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 2.96 seconds, top speed 290 km/h, maximum range of 510 km (front motor only power saving mode and kinetic energy recuperation);

Using Xin'an generation BMS battery management technology, the charging current is 300A at the exclusive express charging station, which can be charged by 40% in the first 15 minutes, 70% in 30 minutes, and fully charged in 55 minutes; The current of the general-purpose charging pile can reach 36A, and it will be fully charged to 15% in the first 60 minutes; The home charging pile depends on the charging configuration selected by the user;

Adapted to the XW151 intelligent driving system, it can realize a variety of functions such as automatic parking, assisted driving, obstacle reminder, cruise control, voice human-computer interaction, etc., and can manage the vehicle status through the smartphone network.

The manufacturer provides a limited warranty of 5 years or 100,000 kilometers for the whole vehicle.

All of the above – all based on the vision and imagination of current technology.

To achieve these goals, Xin'an engineers need to work hard for 8 months after the release, and do everything they can to maintain their hard-won status, and build a reputation on this basis.

Southern Automobile has also invested heavily in licensing some extremely valuable technologies and patents to Xin'an Automobile, while also maintaining an equity balance with Xinyuan.

As for the CS105 of Southern Motors, it is still a traditional oil car, and they have a plan to hit the mid-to-high-end every once in a while, and the original CS105 is one of them, but now it is just a trial after picking it out and changing it, and it is much faster to produce.

The first XC4 is actually a delicate model, with more than half of the shell being processed manually, and the site being a construction vehicle test chassis that has been moved directly over, and it is not visible anyway.

However, in terms of appearance, the engineers sent by Nanfang Automobile to Xin'an still worked hard, and the quality of the paint made Lin Ju feel a sense of mystery and nobility, and he deeply felt that as long as he was willing to invest, there were still good results.

Somewhere in Qiongzhou, Chen Jun is adjusting to the dark scenery around him.

In order to maximize the effect of space, the press conference venue of Xinan Automobile only has a studio, and the floor and all around it are screens, which will jointly simulate the real effect of space.

When the time comes, several panoramic cameras attached to the XC4 will send the images back to these screens, giving the impression that they are actually in space.

Chen Jun is still very uncomfortable with the new publicity model, but he must appear as the CEO of Xin'an and must firmly grasp the opportunity.

At 10:30 a.m. on June 15, there was still half an hour before the launch.

Due to the gimmick of the car press conference, the number of online viewers of the live webcast alone exceeded one million, and the number of visitors to the scene was a little less than last time, but it also exceeded 200,000.

Xinyuan has announced four launch plans for June and July, so it is conceivable that there will be a steady stream of tourists pouring in, and the Qiongzhou Tourism Bureau will usher in this year's business peak.

In order to build momentum for Xin'an Automobile, the rocket body of the Xinyuan-2 Yao-2 rocket was painted with the propaganda paint of Xin'an Automobile, and three days before the launch, the surface of the Progress space shuttle was temporarily sprayed with paint that is not resistant to high temperatures, making it look like a large XC4 erected from a distance.

The space agency's scalp was numb to Xinyuan's desperate commercial operation show, and he never imagined that commercial aerospace could still play like this.

Now even the state-owned automobile factory has come to the space agency and asked: As a brother unit, can you help shoot a car into space?

Space Agency: Get out.

But truth be told, Xin'an Auto has set an example for other brands, and now they are all wondering whether to send their own products into space.

They asked not only about the space agency, but more about Xinyuan Aerospace.

Lin Ju did not refuse to say that he would take a look first, but the first one to come up made him silent.

It is an internationally renowned company, with both money and market, and is willing to spend a lot of money to only send less than 10 grams of things and change the rocket livery, but Lin Ju solemnly refuses.

That company is Dures, they asked to paint the surface of the rocket with the effect of a set, and launched a starry sky sticker version of the set, and even planned in advance the surface of the lunar crater, Mars cool, Mercury scorching and so on.

When he thought of the shape of the rocket and then drew that kind of thing, Lin Ju felt that the whole person was not good, and his eyes were not normal even when he looked at the rocket.

Business cooperation is possible, but can you have some normal business!

The sequelae of this intention caused Lin Ju to always want to be crooked when he looked at Xinyuan No. 2 Yao Er now, and when Guo Shen and the others came to ask, they would tell the deal that had been stopped in time, so the faces of the group when they looked at the rocket became wonderful.

The people in the control room watching the live broadcast and the launch were unaware of the situation of Xinyuan's strange expression, so they had to continue to wait for the launch.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ 3, 2, 1, ignition. ā€

Seven methane engines spewed flames one after another, and the Xinyuan-2 Yao-2 rocket rose all the way against the Progress, once again leaving a deep impression on the audience.

In the additional ground control room of the aircraft, Xinyuan's engineers constantly checked the data transmitted back by the dummy on the Progress, after all, the next manned flight must be ensured.

It is important to know that due to structural limitations, the space shuttle does not escape through ejection seats like ordinary aircraft, and because the structure and process are more complex than traditional spacecraft, the reliability requirements are higher and stricter.

After 430 seconds, the first-stage rocket separated, and the hydrogen-oxygen engine of the second-stage rocket was activated, continuing to push Progress into low-earth orbit.

After another 300 seconds, the second-stage rocket engine was turned off, and Progress used RCS jets all over the body to adjust its attitude and enter low-earth orbit.

At the same time, the first stage of the Xinyuan-2 Yao-2 rocket was successfully recovered at the No. 1 station of the Xinyuan launch site.

Except for the fact that there were more space shuttles than the first time, the entire flight process was almost identical, and the crowd who watched it for the second time even thought that time travel had occurred.

At an altitude of 320km, 10 minutes after the self-test of the whole aircraft, the opposite cargo compartment on the back of the Progress was opened, and the connection mechanism with the XC4 was unlocked.

In the studio of the Xin'an Automobile press conference, Chen Jun had already made an opening introduction, and pressed the remote control on the screen behind him according to the backstage instructions in the headset.

In the pitch black background of simulated space, footage from the actual camera on the XC4 slowly unfolds.

A white line suddenly appears from above the frame, then slowly expands, and the light shines into the Progress's cargo hold, revealing the XC4's vivid red hood and the interior of the cargo hold.

The small robotic arm folded over the side of the cargo compartment unfolded, grabbed the XC4's anchoring mechanism out of sight, and slowly pulled outward.

In the XC4 camera, the scene in front of you gradually changes from the grayish white of the cargo hold to a bright blue with a white glow.

The robotic arm constantly adjusts to find a suitable angle for the light, and easily opens the blessed claw and retracts it into the cargo hold.

Progress slowly closes the cargo compartment, and the XC4 coupe is one of her companions, captured by camera movements in the portholes.

Using RCS to adjust the direction slightly, "Progress" started the hydrogen and oxygen engine in her tail, and the thrust of tens of thousands of Nius in space can only be seen in the inside of the vent A little bit of light blue, Progress silently bid farewell to the XC4 that was fresh and lifeless on the surface, and went deep into the boundless darkness of space like a firefly, turning into a faint star in the background of the universe.

In Xin'an's press conference, Chen Jun floats in the dark of space, with a real-life Earth and an XC4 sports car with its back to the Earth in the background, with an astronaut dummy holding the steering wheel and bright lights in the dark mask.
