980 The Spare Tire And The Hole Card (3/4)

Chapter 980 Spare Tire and Hole Card (34)

On the first day when Beep Charging went online, it seemed that there was a lot of discussion.

Lithium-air batteries are hand in hand with wireless charging, and the new energy industry is running into the field of "science fiction". Although not everyone drives new energy vehicles, there is no doubt that almost the vast majority of people are curious about this new thing of.

And no matter how much is true, all kinds of gossip have spread all over the circle of friends.

And with the arrival of the May 1st Golden Week, the popularity of Beep Charging has been pushed to a new peak!

For this kind of novelty, even the owners of traditional fuel vehicles have expressed a strong interest. Some people who like to join in the fun even register a member to scan the code and park the car, just to check in. Take a picture and send it to a circle of friends.

Anyway, it won't cost a lot of money.

It has to be said that this was a very successful marketing campaign. Neither Yida Plaza nor Li Tinghui expected that "lithium-air battery + wireless charging" plus the name Xingkong Technology could detonate such a large amount of topics. Even the first day of the May 1st Golden Week Yida Plaza's passenger flow increased a bit.

Looking at the soaring number of user registrations, a stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Regardless of whether the follow-up plan will be as smooth as it is now.

At least this wave, they can be regarded as a success!

In fact, wireless charging is not a very dark technology.

Although this area started relatively late in China, in fact, it has already invested in the research and development of related technologies internationally, and has even achieved certain results.

For example, when Audi Corporation was developing new energy vehicles, it once designed a solution to the problem of efficiency loss in the transmission process. This solution uses a liftable wireless charging system to make the transmitting coil at the cable end closer to the receiver at the bottom of the electric vehicle. Coil, thereby improving the efficiency of power transmission.

It can be traced back to 2014, when Nanchao planned to lay a 12-kilometer-long "wireless charging road section". When the vehicle is driving on this road section, it can be charged while driving. Of course, due to reasons such as high cost and difficult maintenance, this technology only stops at the figure of 12 kilometers, and has not been successfully promoted.

According to the plan made by Beep Charging in the BP book, the wireless charging business of Beep Charging will adopt a three-step strategy. The first step is to occupy more than 80% of the parking lots of large and medium-sized shopping malls and communities in Shanghai. , the second step is to promote the business to the planning area of ​​the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, and promote it to large and medium-sized business districts across the country.

As for the third step, it is naturally the ultimate form of the technology - even if you are running on the road, you can charge the car anytime, anywhere. That is, let the wireless charging technology cover more than 50% of the road network in the core area of ​​the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration.

Of course, meals still have to be eaten in bites, and the plan has only reached the first stage.

But even so, the strength of this start-up company with an angel round of financing of less than 10 million is quite scary...

Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

Carbon-based semiconductor laboratory.

A group of staff members in white coats are busy in front of a large experimental equipment.

After several months of hard work, with the cooperation of Shen Ji, which owns high-precision machine tools, Baosheng Group, which has the production technology of SG-1 room temperature superconducting materials, and Huawei HiSilicon, and many other domestic semiconductor companies, this machine A giant device that integrates the functions of "chemical deposition + etching".

This equipment is like a "lithography machine" in the field of carbon-based semiconductors. It can process the raw materials that have been preliminarily processed, and directly "grow" the generated carbon nanotransistors on the double-layer graphene materials that overlap at special angles.

If a few months ago, the carbon-based semiconductor laboratory could only produce "manual samples" with a process of 150nm and an integration level of 300,000 per square millimeter, now this laboratory has been able to reduce the process to a maximum of 80nm. , and the degree of integration has also increased by an order of magnitude.

If it weren't for mobile phones, computers and other electronic products that require extremely high processor performance, carbon-based chips with a process of 80nm and 300,000 carbon transistors per square millimeter would already have considerable application value.

The higher the chip integration, the better, but not all fields are so demanding on high technology.

For example, in the field of surveillance, or routers...

Of course, what this semiconductor laboratory is developing is not a monitor or a router chip, and it has nothing to do with the recent "Longteng" series of high-end chips that signed a tripartite agreement. Instead, it has nothing to do with the recently discussed Wireless charging technology is not shallow.

At this moment, there was a soft sound of gas release, and the researchers surrounded in front of the experimental equipment let out exclamations of wonder.

Looking at the data displayed on the computer, Professor Wu Tianqun, who put his hands on the console, had a look of ecstasy on his face.

"……nailed it!"

Lu Zhou, who was standing next to him, asked quickly.

"Already succeeded?"

"En!" Professor Wu Tianqun nodded vigorously, and said in an affirmative tone, "It's very successful, the successful ones can't be more successful! I'll show it to you later, and you'll know!"

It didn't make Lu Zhou wait for a long time.

Soon, a chip the size of a thumbnail was taken out of the device.

Looking at the chip stored in the bottle-shaped tea-colored glass cover, a trace of shock and relief gradually appeared on Lu Zhou's face.

This is the second finished chip developed by the Carbon-based Semiconductor Laboratory.

The first one was used on a scientific calculator, nothing special technical content. And this one is used on the wireless charging receiving end and transmitting end equipment, and the technical content is still a bit high.

As we all know, because it involves the problem of electromagnetic conversion, wireless charging technology can be roughly divided into two parts: receiving and transmitting. Magnetic materials, scheme design, and system integration, etc.

Coil modules and magnetic materials are fine. These are not high-tech areas, and there are not many unavoidable patent barriers. However, chips are different.

Almost all technical barriers are concentrated in the receiver chip and system integration design link, and its profit can even account for 30% of the total profit of the wireless charging industry chain.

At present, the main customers of these technologies are mobile phones, but with the continuous advancement of new energy technologies, there are now also new energy vehicles.

In fact, besides the road of self-developed chips, Beep Charging also has many international chip suppliers to choose from. In fact, the chips installed on the first batch of charging pile equipment are produced by international chip manufacturers.

But now that carbon-based chips have been produced, Huawei HiSilicon, which Xingkong Technology has invested in, has also shifted from the "pure R&D + OEM" model to the "R&D + semi-self-production" model. It would be too wasteful to use it.

Even if the purchased chips are temporarily used, they will all be replaced when the time is right.

Looking at the chip in Lu Zhou's hand, Professor Wu Tianqun was as excited as the child's father, babbling nonstop.

"After two months of tossing around, it finally came out. Let's give this thing a better name!"

In fact, when he said this sentence, Professor Wu didn't intend to ask Lu Zhou's opinion, but just said this sentence purely because he was too excited.

But what I didn't expect was that the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and after hearing it, Lu Zhou felt that there was some truth, so he began to think seriously.

A nicer name?

It's a little difficult...

He lowered his head and thought for a long time. Just when Professor Wu Tianqun was about to take the chip sample in his hand and put it in the library for storage, Lu Zhou suddenly raised his head and said.

"Just call it... the BB system."

Wu Tianqun: "...?"

The researchers: "...???"

Lu Zhou: "?"

A person looks at a group of people.

The atmosphere was awkward for many seconds.

Lu Zhou, who was stared at by so many people, was also stunned. I don't know why these scientific research dogs are looking at him like this.

emmmmm...

What's wrong with the name?

Just when Lu Zhou was also embarrassed by the atmosphere and was thinking about whether to change his name, Professor Wu Tianqun broke the silence in the laboratory and said dumbfoundedly.

"This... this name is definitely not good. First of all, let's not say whether it sounds good or not. Our project is not a beep charging. Even if we want to avoid misunderstanding, we can't confuse them with them!"

"...Professor Wu said the same thing." Seeing so many people objecting, Lu Zhou could only give up the opportunity of naming, looking at him sweating, "Then what do you call it?"

Wu Tianqun said firmly.

"Thunder Lord!"

"Lei Gong?"

"En!" Wu Tianqun nodded, as if he had been drugged, and said vigorously, "Thunderstorm on the ground, a blockbuster! Since our chip is going to go out to the world and shock the world, then the name can't be casual!"

"It makes sense," Lu Zhou thought for a while. Although he didn't think the name was much better than what he thought, he nodded reluctantly, "Then do as you said!"
