Chapter 552: The Price of the Pterosaur Flying Car Is Announced, a Dimensionality Reduction Attack From Across the Industry

The imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

Bird's Nest Stadium.

After introducing intelligence and battery life, Chen Xing pressed the remote control again and said: "After talking about intelligence and battery life, let's talk about sound insulation."

"The Wing Loong flying car uses a fully wrapped sandwich sound insulation material. The cost of sound insulation alone is as high as 100,000 yuan."

"100,000 yuan?"

"My little bean is so expensive?"

"It feels like Pterosaur is not cheap. It won't cost millions for one, right?"

"How many millions? I guess tens of millions!"

“The world’s first flying car, it’s not impossible for the first batch to sell for over tens of millions. After all, the research and development costs have to be calculated.”

The audience was talking a lot and had already begun to estimate the price of the Pterosaur flying car.

Not only the audience, but also the corporate executives who came to the Bird's Nest were also calculating the selling price, their minds running rapidly.

BYD CEO Wang Fu frowned when he heard that 100,000 yuan was spent on sound insulation, and he calculated in his mind: "100,000 yuan for sound insulation, the 300-degree Thor battery is at least 1 million, plus L6 smart driving and R&D costs, it seems that the actual sales The price is over 7 million.”

The selling price of 7 million was speculated by Wang Fu based on the corporate culture of Longxing Group.

After all, Chen Xing has always emphasized that technology is not superior, but serves the people. But even though he knew that Chen Xing would try to set a low price, Wang Fu still gave a price estimate of more than 7 million.

Not only Wang Fu, but also CEOs of other car companies are predicting selling prices.

Chen Xing didn't have the ability to read minds, so he naturally didn't know what they were thinking. He continued to introduce the Pterosaur Flying Car: "Compared to the first three major technologies, what I like most and am most satisfied with is its stability."

Having said this, Chen Xing pressed the remote control in his hand, and a comparison picture of the rotor structure appeared on the Bird's Nest screen.

"The reason why the Pterosaur can achieve high altitudes like flat ground is mainly due to its rotor structure. As you can see, the rotor blades of ordinary helicopters and drones are flat. Although there is a slight inclination, it is not obvious. ”

"This is because the tilted blades will pose a huge challenge to stability."

“As for our Pterosaur flying car, it uses a fully tilting rotor structure. This design allows the flying car to hover and take off and land like a helicopter in vertical take-off and landing mode, and also can fly like a helicopter in high-speed cruising mode. It flies at the same high speed as a fixed-wing aircraft, taking into account the need for flexibility and speed.”

"But here comes the problem. The full-tilt rotor structure will destroy the flight balance and stability, which becomes a problem that must be solved."

The words fell.

Chen Xing pressed the remote control again.

On the screen behind him, a schematic diagram and a simple function introduction of the "Tumbler Automatic Adjustment Module" appeared.

"In order to solve the problem of stability, we installed 8 balance sensors on the chassis of the flying car. As long as there is any deviation, the main chip of the car will identify it immediately and make fine adjustments. This technology is very tricky."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the amount of data is so huge."

“The main chip is adjusting the balance of the car body all the time, which extremely tests the chip performance and the balance adjustment ability of the vehicle control system.”

"but!"

Chen Xing emphasized his tone and announced: "We did it. We used AI technology, cloud computing technology and high-speed network to make up for the shortcomings in the performance of the on-board chips."

"Good guy, can the group really do whatever it wants with its strong technical foundation?"

"It's AI again, is this really a big trend?"

"The cloud is involved in computing. In the future, we won't directly cancel the CPU and GPU and use cloud computing power, right?"

"Far ahead!"

“It’s really far ahead!”

The audience once again exclaimed that the AI ​​technology, cloud computing and high-speed network Chen Xing talked about were all mentioned in previous press conferences.

What is this called?

Inheritance!

The reason why a technology group can be called a group is not how much money it has, but how much top technology it has in reserve.

For example, Apple was once an absolute giant in technology, but it was also famous for squeezing out toothpaste.

It squeezes a little bit every year, squeezes a little bit every year, but just that little bit can bring a large number of new users to Apple mobile phones every year.

New technology products do not break through for no reason, but require a long period of development.

Take the history of the development of smartphones. At first, they could only make calls and send text messages. But gradually, manufacturers found that they could add camera functions and Internet access functions. Bit by bit, they were gradually improved, and this is how we have today's smartphones.

"I believe everyone already has a clear understanding of the pterosaur flying car. Let's talk about safety next."

Chen Xing paused for a moment, pressed the remote control and said: "Our Wing Loong flying car uses flexible steel composite materials. Although the body strength is only 1,600 MPa, it has obtained the national G+ certification in terms of safety factor."

"Maybe someone will ask at this time, did you secretly stuff money into it?"

"It's really money."

"???"

"???"

"???"

The barrage in the live broadcast room was once again full of question marks.

Duan Yongping, who was sitting in the front row, looked at Ren Guofei and Rebus with surprise on his face and said, "No, you are stuffing money into insider ratings. Are you so blatant?"

"It's indeed a bit too arrogant."

Luo Hao nodded.

"The person in charge of safety evaluation is probably sweating profusely now, right?" Gao Yongming, CEO of Loongson International, laughed.

Spending money to buy safety ratings is already an unspoken rule in the industry.

Since it is an unspoken rule, it must not be said out loud. If Chen Xing is exposed like this, this road may be cut off.

Ren Guofei and Rebus looked at each other and did not respond to them.

Just as the Bird's Nest was buzzing with discussion, Chen Xing on the stage suddenly changed the subject and said: "This money stuffing is not the money stuffing that everyone thinks, but the test fee."

"..."

silence.

silence.

I thought it was an inside story.

Unexpectedly!

Do you really rely on hard power?

"Mr. Chen understands public opinion and barrages. How many people's heartstrings have been touched by just that?"

"I thought Mr. Chen really stuffed his money, but I didn't expect that he had to pay for the testing fee."

"Stuffed, but not completely stuffed!"

"Mr. Chen, please take it easy. My dad is in charge of vehicle safety testing. I almost thought my dad was going in just now!"

"Hahaha!"

Listening to the discussion at the scene, Chen Xing pressed his hands and said quietly: "I think everyone wants to know how a pterosaur flying car with only a body strength of 1,600 MPa obtained a G+ rating. Let's talk about it in detail below."

He pressed the remote control and switched the screen while continuing to explain: "The Pterosaur flying car is different from ordinary cars. After all, it flies in the sky. If a vehicle rear-ends or a mechanical failure occurs, causing it to fall from a high altitude, even if it costs 16,000 MPa body strength is useless, because even if the vehicle is intact, the people in the vehicle will be injured or killed by the shock wave. "

Why do luxury cars break when touched?

Is the manufacturer cutting corners?

In fact, it is not the case. People are trying to reduce the probability of shock injuries regardless of cost.

This is a bit like wearing armor. Ordinary swords, guns and clubs are of no use to you, but if the enemy switches to a hammer, your armor cannot protect against blunt objects.

With one blow, it seems that the armor is not broken, but your internal organs are already broken.

In order to protect car owners as much as possible, luxury cars often use carbon fiber materials, reduce the strength of the body, and adopt self-destruction methods to reduce damage caused by shock waves.

This is why Volvo has a "lose the wheel to save life" design.

"So, our main focus is to prevent the vehicle from falling and the escape of the people in the vehicle, rather than pursuing the strength of the vehicle body."

After Chen Xing pointed out the key points, he continued: "There is a red emergency button protected by a transparent protective box above the passenger seat of the vehicle."

"In the event of mechanical failure or other emergencies, we can directly press it, and the gunpowder packs built into the roof of the cabin and seats will be instantly activated, destroying the area above the car to prevent the rotor from injuring passengers."

"After exploding the upper area, the powder pack on the escape seat will also be activated, allowing us to fly out of the car from the top area. The parachute on the back of the seat will open within two seconds."

While Chen Xing was narrating, a demonstration video also appeared on the screen behind him.

With this safety mechanism in place, many viewers who were worried about safety also nodded and cast complimentary glances.

"Pah, pah, pah—"

Applause erupted slowly.

A good technology product must not only provide a comfortable experience, but also take into account the safety of product use.

For vehicles like cars, safety is more important than performance.

"Full intelligent driving can not only avoid car accidents, but also has an escape mechanism in the event of a malfunction. This is indeed far ahead!"

"I have to say, the safety aspect is indeed good, Mr. Chen is awesome!"

"I want to spend my dad's gold coins to buy one!"

"It's better to fly on the ground than to fly in the air. If the price doesn't exceed 9 million, I bite the bullet and can still buy one to play with."

Listening to the discussion around him, Ren Guofei looked at Duan Yongping and said, "How about it? Are you interested in getting one?"

"I'm interested, of course I am, but I have a question, do I need to apply for a route to drive a flying car?"

Duan Yongping asked rhetorically.

He has a helicopter.

But after buying it, he regretted it.

Every time a helicopter flies, it needs to submit an application to the local air traffic control department. Even if the route is approved quickly, if something unexpected happens, there will be no time for approval.

Therefore, many wealthy people travel by car, and helicopter travel is too cumbersome.

"There is no need to apply for Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The pilot has been opened. Other cities will follow suit." Ren Guofei responded with a smile.

"That's right."

Rebus nodded and continued: "It won't be long before flying cars can be driven wherever they want in China."

"Then we have to do something about it."

"Indeed, traveling is also convenient."

"It has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers. If the speed can be reached at full speed, it will be much more convenient to travel to neighboring provinces for business."

Duan Yongping, Jack Ma, and Huang Renxun all expressed their opinions.

In the past, they went on business trips to nearby provinces, such as from eastern Guangdong to southern Hunan. If they wanted to leave immediately, they could only choose to travel by car.

Because life is not a script, sometimes unexpected situations arise and you need to rush to other provinces. You don't have time to wait for the flight, and you often step on the accelerator and get over.

…

After Chen Xing gave a comprehensive explanation of the Pterosaur flying car, he paused for half a second and then said: "I will talk about as much as I can for today. The details and design need everyone to explore."

"Next, announce the price."

He pressed the remote control in his hand, and the large screen behind him switched. Parameter charts of the two pterosaur flying cars appeared, with three question marks in the price column.

"Oh right."

"Our pterosaur flying car is divided into two types."

"The regular version is what I just introduced. The premium version is a little more expensive, but it is a brand new computing power model. Because it involves subsequent content, I will keep it a secret for now."

New computing power model?

When these five words were said, Masik, Huang Renxun, Kuk and other corporate leaders were a little nervous. It seems that the rumors are true. Chen Xing really has a chip released.

4 nanometers?

3 nanometers?

Or 2 nanometers?

Nowadays, the chip nanometers in the world are stuck at the 5-nanometer process. Once a breakthrough is attempted, the silicon material will have a quantum tunneling effect.

Those who often develop chips know that the quantum tunneling effect is similar to the accidental touch of the keyboard. You originally wanted a letter A, but you pressed an extra S. The result is naturally a calculation chaos.

"You may as well guess the price. You can now open any official blog of Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Dami Company, click on the top link, and enter the guessing page. The 5,000 users with the closest price will receive a large discount coupon, which is definitely not the 5 yuan one."

Chen Xing joked humorously.

Once, one of Lamborghini's offline stores had a cool operation, which was to give users a 5-yuan discount coupon.

A 3 million yuan car, a 5-yuan discount coupon.

Once this matter was exposed, it instantly set off an uproar on the Internet.

A group of netizens said that with this 5-yuan discount coupon, they are closer to the goal of buying a Lamborghini in full.

"Hahaha!"

"Mr. Chen is a bit humorous!"

"It's not a 5-yuan discount coupon, and it's not a 10-yuan discount coupon. I hope Mr. Chen can be more generous and give a full million-yuan discount coupon!"

"Are there any good brothers who can tell me how much you filled in for this car?"

"I guess 10 million, because my father bought his helicopter for 12 million. According to Mr. Chen's habit, he will never set a high price, it must be around 10 million."

"Then I choose 9.99 million."

"I write 8.99 million!"

In just a blink of an eye, 140,000 people have participated in the guessing, and this number is still rising.

300,000.

700,000.

1 million.

When the number of participants reached one million, Chen Xing spoke again: "The audience is very enthusiastic. It's not even three minutes yet, and the number of participants has reached one million. So, let's wait for two more minutes, then stop guessing and announce the official guide price of these two Wing Loong flying cars."

"Of course."

"This is the guide price of Dragon Country. As for the prices of other countries, they must be adjusted in combination with tariffs and transportation costs."

Exports will face tariffs, which is unavoidable.

Obviously.

Foreign audiences understand this unspoken rule.

After waiting for two minutes, when the guessing activity ended, Chen Xing did not look back and pressed the remote control in his hand to announce the price.

Wing Loong Flying Car, Regular Edition: 1.59 million Dragon Country Currency.

Wing Loong Flying Car, Premium Edition: 1.99 million Dragon Country Currency.

"Wow——"

When the Dragon Country price appeared, the Bird's Nest was in an uproar again.

The princes of the Crown Prince Abdul Aziz family sitting in the front row had bright eyes, as if they would take out their bank cards with only cold numbers left to place orders in the next second.

Some were happy and some were sad. When the helicopter manufacturers saw the price, they felt their eyes go dark and the sky was about to fall.

1.99 million?

What the hell are they doing!

Take the common medical rescue helicopter as an example. It is usually a modified Bell 407 GX, and one costs 10 million!

Other slightly inferior helicopters are generally more than 3 million.

Now you have 1.99 million, and you don’t even need to apply for a flight route. What’s the point of this!

At this time, the helicopter manufacturer thought of a sentence: The one who beats you may not be a peer, but may be a cross-industry one!
