Chapter 433 Someone is walking ahead? !

"right.

Electric cars, as the name suggests, are cars that are powered by electricity.

Hybrid means hybrid power.

Hybrid vehicles combine two power systems, an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. They are driven by the internal combustion engine and can also be assisted by the electric motor.

The extended-range model generates electricity by burning fuel to charge the battery and extend the range of the electric vehicle. When the battery is fully charged, the extended-range electric vehicle is driven by the electric motor; when the battery is insufficient, the engine starts and generates electricity to continue to provide power to the electric motor.

Fang wanted to know that Huo Zhenting didn't know about this future technology, so he gave him a brief introduction.

"It sounds a bit unbelievable..."

Huo Zhenting was completely confused after hearing this.

“Hahaha, it’s not hard to understand.

Have you heard of electric bikes? "

Fang Xiang smiled. In fact, as early as the 60s, Beijing had developed the first electric bicycle.

But it was not widely promoted at that time.

It was not until the new century that it gradually became the main choice of thousands of households.

In the 80s and the 90s, gasoline cars and scooters are still the most common means of transportation.

Especially small-displacement motorcycles, which are basically the most convenient means of transportation for traveling around the streets and commuting to and from get off work in the city.

It was only after the continued occurrence of motorcycle robberies in Guangzhou for many years that a large-scale ban on motorcycles was implemented.

Of course, it is also closely related to the automobile industry that took off at the same time. As for whether it is a conspiracy theory, that is beyond the scope of our discussion.

“Electric bike?”

As Huo Zhenting travels back and forth between Hong Kong Island and abroad all year round, he naturally knows little about this low-level means of transportation.

I guess he hardly ever rides a bicycle.

“Well, a bicycle powered by electricity saves a lot of energy, and battery life is also a very important aspect.

Can greatly extend people's range of activities.

Cars are expensive, in fact most people can’t afford them, but electric bicycles are different, they are cheap and practical.

The future market is likely to be even broader than cars.”

Fang Xiang nodded, thinking of the army of electric cars in later generations.

During rush hour, electric vehicles running all over the streets are truly a beautiful landscape in China.

“Can this thing also make money?”

Huo Zhenting asked soul-searching questions about an area he had never seen or had any knowledge of.

“Yes, you just don’t care.

But it doesn't matter, I just thought so.

Whether this can be achieved is still unclear.”

Fang knew that it was useless to say more to him. The best way was to just tell him to do the work.

"Mr. Fang, is this the kind of tram you're talking about?"

Unexpectedly, not long after, Huo Zhenting, who had already left Chengdu, suddenly came to the door again with a newspaper. My screenshot skills are not good, so some text is missing. "I really found it for you. How is it? What do you think?"

Fang Xiang took the newspaper and read it, and immediately laughed.

The memories of the past began to attack him.

He himself could not remember when he saw the photo of this newspaper on Douyang.

I didn't expect that this would be reported in the newspaper just after I mentioned it to Huo Zhenting a few days ago.

Moreover, this talented person made the car look like a supercar to attract attention.

"Do you think this matter is really feasible?

He wants 20 million for research and development..."

Huo Zhenting pinched his chin, still looking incredulous.

You have to know that this was 88 million in , which is more valuable than million in later generations!

“Why didn’t it work?

Don’t those who engage in inventions and creations have to face rumors and gossip at the beginning?

Just like when the Wright brothers invented the airplane, it scared a lot of people at first.”

Fang Xiang put the newspaper on the table.

In the past year, he has been working at Factory 132 in Chengdu, working on fighter jets and trade with the United States, and has neglected the automotive side of things.

I thought I was early, but I forgot the time when this talented man built the car.

It seems that trams can really be put on the agenda.

"Then, invite him over?"

Huo Zhenting felt that he could trust no one, but Fang Xiang.

Ever since his father first brought him to Fang Xiang, the Huo family's wealth has already exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

Isn’t it Fang Xiang that you rely on?

Seeing that Fang Xiang was serious about it, he naturally felt that Fang Xiang was right.

After all, he had never seen Fang Xiang fail.

Although the last time he came, Fang Xiang rejected his decision to expand Shanghai Automobile.

But at most they would just complain a few words behind their backs.

“Please go to Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, Wenzhou is also close to Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation.

Form a team specifically for him.

When I finish my work here, I will go to Shanghai Automobile to meet him.

Look at this great man of ours."

Fang Xiang naturally would not refuse.

He was so happy that someone took the lead in helping him.

If he had to do everything himself, he would be too busy.

After discussing this matter, Huo Zhenting left again.

As for whether this great man named Ye would change his fate in his previous life, Fang Xiang didn't care.

The appearance of the tram reminded him of another future technology.

Drone.

Yes, since trams have already appeared, although we don’t know whether there is a living environment for them, then drones should be able to survive as well, right?

Apart from anything else, at least we can try out unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

That’s right, Fang Xiang has no plans to develop a multi-axis drone now.

Even if we do it now, the cost will outweigh the gain.

Although the battery can basically meet the initial skill points of multi-axis drones, the remote control and return technology are not yet mature.

On the contrary, large UAVs are more promising than small UAVs.

After all, it is not yet possible to miniaturize electronic devices.

Many electronic devices are very large in size, just like Xiaomi’s early drones, which are all quite large.

But before that, Fang Xiang originally wanted to finish the things at hand before returning to Shanghai Automobile.

That’s right, he is already working on the design drawings for the F-35 and J-20.

But not long after, news came from Shanghai Automobile, interrupting Fang Xiang's design work.

That talented guy named Ye has been hired by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation.

Under Cao Tianwei's attention, the tram was also tested by Shanghai Automobile, and it was found that it was actually not as powerful as this great man boasted.

Many parameters are filled with water.

But it is understandable. It is only 88. Saying that you can build a mature electric car is as ridiculous as saying that someone can build a Pentium CPU now.

Technology can be ahead of the curve and can achieve breakthroughs ahead of time, but if it is divorced from actual results, then there will inevitably be an element of beautification involved.

But even so, Shanghai Auto also found many surprises and failures.

The first is the charging and discharging of the battery pack, although it is far from the 200 kilometers mentioned in the newspaper.

But in fact, the main reason is the unscientific design of the battery pack, as well as problems with the battery composition and control unit.

As long as we put in some thought and invest money in research, this issue can be gradually resolved.

The biggest problem was exactly what Fang Xiang had guessed: the electronic control aspect.

It can almost be said to be extremely simple.

First of all, there are not many safety measures. As long as the current is slightly unstable, it is easy to burn out the battery and electronic control.

Then there is the motor drive control module, which is often like a neurotic being unable to accurately control the discharge power, and from time to time the ignition is fully opened, causing the test drivers to often break out in cold sweats.

Next is the powertrain, which is incredibly inefficient.

You know, the biggest advantage of electric cars is their powertrain, which achieves the power and acceleration of top sports cars with the lowest technical cost.

But this car can only run up to 109 kilometers in theory, and its acceleration is not stable.

Putting all the information together made Cao Tianwei extremely disappointed with this car. He thought it was just a sensational thing with no practical value.

This conclusion immediately caused Ye Wengui and Cao Tianwei to fall out.
