Chapter 541 Two Key Points to Be Conquered, Song Weiguo Personally Attended the Welcoming Banquet

As soon as Ren Guofei finished speaking, Hua Ming immediately took over and said: "The reason why it can be as flat as the ground at high altitude is due to the new rotor structure."

"Unlike ordinary helicopters and drones, our Wing Loong flying car rotor adopts a full-tilt 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 fly at high speed like a fixed-wing aircraft in high-speed cruising mode, taking into account both flexibility and speed requirements."

"In addition!"

Hua Ming took a breath and continued: "Jiuzhou Intelligent Ai Company has also specially designed a set of exclusive flight control systems, which can monitor the flight environment and status in real time and accurately control the flight attitude and position."

"Once the rotor or body deviates, the control system will correct it immediately. This is why you, the president, can't shake the hovering state even if you shake your body."

"So that's it."

After Hua Ming's explanation, Chen Xing also knew the principle of the Wing Loong flying car being able to hover stably for a long time at high altitude.

To put it simply, the Wing Loong flying car will constantly make micro-adjustments to its body when it is hovering.

For example, if Chen Xing shakes to the left, the flight control system will immediately give the same right-leaning force. If he shakes to the right, it will give a left-leaning force to offset the interference force in the car.

To achieve this, not only extremely fast reactions are required, but also real-time monitoring.

This Wing Loong flying car seems to be developed by Northern Automotive Engineering, but in fact it brings together the core technologies of multiple companies.

"We have experienced hovering, are there any other special highlights?"

Chen Xing asked.

Before Hua Ming could speak, Ren Guofei quickly answered: "Of course, our Wing Loong flying car uses fully automatic driving, which can minimize the probability of accidents."

"That's right."

Hua Ming quickly responded and explained: "Don't look at us equipped with a driving control room, in fact, it is only used in emergencies or when you want to experience the fun of driving."

"The main driving method of the Wing Loong flying car does not require manpower, but uses unmanned driving technology, but to achieve it, you need to open up two points first."

"Which two points?"

Chen Xing asked, grasping the key points.

Hua Ming did not keep the secret and said the two points: "One is urban airspace control, and the other is navigation map."

"Let's talk about urban airspace control first. Flying cars cannot fly in a disorderly manner. They must be standardized. Otherwise, once an air crash occurs, the chance of survival is almost zero."

After hearing this, Chen Xing nodded in agreement.

Don't be fooled by many airlines' propaganda that airplanes are the safest means of transportation and the accident rate is extremely low.

But if an air crash really happens, the chance of survival is close to zero.

Don't expect to be able to parachute. When the cabin door is opened at high speed and descending from high altitude, the passengers will be blown to the ground.

This is a bit like a typhoon. It is very difficult for you to open the door. The moment you really open it, according to the narrow opening of the airplane, human power cannot move forward against the wind. Moreover, at an altitude of several thousand meters, there is also the risk of hypothermia.

This is why some media say that airplanes are the safest means of transportation, but also the most dangerous means of transportation.

"Low-altitude flight cannot be messy. If a rear-end collision occurs, it will be a disaster, and there is a chance of injuring pedestrians or cars on the ground."

As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, Ren Guofei quickly took over and said: "So we need to formulate a set of standards. According to the ideas of Chief Hua and me, that is, to adopt unmanned driving technology, everyone abides by traffic rules, and the incidence of man-made accidents can be reduced to a minimum, or even zero!"

Why do car accidents happen every day?

Even if the road is good and the safety signs are clear, why do car accidents still occur?

In the final analysis, there is one sentence: everyone's driving thinking is different.

Some people want to abide by traffic rules, some want to rush, some want to overtake, and some don't like others to cut in.

Everyone has their own ideas, and it is impossible to have no accidents.

It's like a curve. Normal drivers will slow down to pass the curve, but the car behind may think that the car in front is too slow and want to overtake the curve. As a result, a car comes from the opposite side, and the accident happens.

Is there a solution?

Yes!

That is to use unmanned driving collectively!

It is obviously impossible to make all drivers obey traffic rules, but artificial intelligence can do it, and it is 100% achievable.

When all vehicles are connected to the Internet and unmanned driving is adopted, the accident rate will become very, very low.

For example, in the example of "overtaking on a curve" just now, artificial intelligence will not do this. Even if it does so, the Zhijia system can also identify the other car and will not rush to overtake.

"In this case, we still need to go to the General Administration of Transportation."

Chen Xing thought about it.

The party that formulates the rules must not be the company. The competent department needs to come forward and issue a set of management methods for flying cars.

At present, the only company that develops flying cars is Longxing Heavy Industry. If you want to formulate a new set of traffic standards, Chen Xing must also go there.

"Yes." Ren Guofei nodded and continued: "This is also the reason why I called you here. It is better for you to come forward to discuss airspace traffic standards with the General Administration of Transportation."

The current Longxing Group is already the economic pillar enterprise of Longguo.

As the actual controller of the group, Chen Xing has a considerable weight in the country.

Besides, Ren Guofei also knew that Chen Xing had signed a "betting agreement" with the capital, the magic city, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and he was familiar with the people, so he couldn't go there himself.

You have to know that for new technologies like this, the pilot cities will never be county towns or eighteen-tier cities. It can only be piloted in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

"Okay, then I'll go there."

Chen Xing nodded in response.

Just after he finished speaking, he asked again: "What about the navigation map? Don't Penguin and Baidu have corresponding technologies? Is the accuracy not enough?"

"Not enough."

Hua Ming nodded slightly, and then continued: "If it is a ground driving vehicle, these two companies are more than enough, but we are flying in the air and need a three-dimensional stereoscopic map of the city."

"That means detection, right?"

Chen Xing got to the point again.

Many people may not know that the reason why map navigation software is accurate is that navigation companies continue to invest in costs and let detection vehicles survey roads.

Take AutoNavi and Baidu Maps for example. Every year, these two companies send out hundreds of road detection vehicles to travel through the streets and alleys of Longguo to ensure the accuracy of navigation.

In addition, it is also connected to the traffic data network, and can know most of the road cameras and speed measurement section information.

Among them, AutoNavi Maps also has a national background, and the navigation systems of the police and the army are all involved.

"Brother Chen, you are very familiar with Longke Institute, ask if you can transfer Beidou satellite to provide us with navigation technology support."

Ren Guofei pointed out the key point.

Chen Xing immediately realized that he was thinking about paying money to let AutoNavi, Baidu Maps, and Penguin Maps build a three-dimensional city navigation model. Now that Beidou satellites have come out, he has also reacted.

"I'll ask."

Chen Xing smiled.

He lent so many people to the Northwest Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project. It is very reasonable to use Beidou satellites now, right?

"Well, you can do it as you see fit. We can't help you too much."

Ren Guofei also said with a smile.

Although Kunpeng is also a technology leader, it seems a little less important than Longxing Group.

Besides, Chen Xing is already familiar with the process, so there is no need for him to show up.

"Try to fly a circle." After noting down the two problems to be solved, Chen Xing looked at Hua Ming and said.

"Then I'll try to fly a circle."

Because the hovering technology was too powerful, they didn't feel that they were in mid-air when they talked. It is completely different from a helicopter. As long as the window is closed, the only sound you can hear is the voice of talking, and the rotors seem to be quiet.

Hua Ming did not hesitate, lightly stepped on the power pedal, switched to forward and backward mode, and then operated the steering wheel.

"As I said before, if you press the left pedal and pull it up, the car will increase the altitude, and if you press it down, it will decrease the altitude. If you press the right pedal and pull it up, the car will fly forward, and if you press it down, it will go backward."

"Just like this."

Hua Ming explained while controlling.

Chen Xing did not dare to blink once, and carefully checked how to drive.

"If we want to turn left, we just need to tilt the steering wheel to the left. Because of the gyroscope function, any operation we make can be sensed instantly."

"How do we brake?"

Chen Xing asked curiously.

He found that the Wing Loong flying car had no brakes, and the steering wheel seemed to have no brake button, which puzzled him a little.

"Brother Chen, you don't understand this, our Wing Loong flying car has no brakes, or in other words, the reverse gear is the brake."

Ren Guofei laughed and joked.

"There is indeed no brake." Hua Ming nodded in confirmation and continued, "If you want to brake, you can stop suddenly by pressing the reverse gear on the steering wheel, which is very similar to the fixed gear of a bicycle. When you brake, you pedal backwards."

"So that's how it is."

Chen Xing is not unfamiliar with fixed gear bicycles. After all, it is the most popular bicycle at present.

Because there is no "brake", the streamlined design makes it very smooth and beautiful as a whole.

The design of pedaling forward to move forward and pedaling backward to brake made it popular in major campuses across the country almost overnight.

However, its appearance also doubled the number of bicycle accidents.

Why is this so?

Clearly, braking is just a different way.

In fact, those who have done design know that some products must be "brainless", that is, to add the so-called fool-proof design.

Everyone thinks differently and has different IQs. The simplicity you pursue is not suitable for others.

For example, plugs and screws, at the beginning, they have the same shape and are difficult to distinguish from the appearance, so they are often mistaken.

When the problem is reported to the designer, various plugs and screws with different functions are quietly born.

In addition, there are pesticides and chemical sales items. Manufacturers are afraid that people will eat them by mistake, so they will add odorants and vomiting agents.

This is why pesticides smell strongly when opened.

For example, Nintendo game cards, the manufacturer deliberately added bitter agents to the metal surface to prevent accidental ingestion.

If you don't do this, you can't imagine why someone would lick the game card.

For safety reasons, Chen Xing suggested: "It is better to add an emergency stop button to avoid accidents."

"Then we will study it later."

Hua Ming silently wrote it down.

…

After flying several circles, Chen Xing wanted to have some fun, so he asked Hua Ming to stop the flying car on the ground and then swap positions.

Hua Ming wanted to teach him how to control it, but Chen Xing didn't give him the chance.

Press the ascending pedal and pull the steering wheel, and the height of the flying car will rise accordingly. If both pedals are pressed at the same time, it can fly forward at high speed while rising.

Different from ground cars, driving a flying car is like flying a helicopter, which are two different pleasures.

Moreover, looking at the "short" buildings on the ground and the unobstructed view ahead, the visual impact made Chen Xing's adrenaline surge, and he wanted to experience extreme speed.

However, his reason told him that the Pterosaur flying car has not yet been approved, and it may cause riots if it flies into the city or suburbs rashly.

Thinking of this, he tilted the steering wheel to the left, made a big turn in the air, and returned to the parking area of ​​the Northern Automobile Factory. Then he landed smoothly and said with emotion: "Driving in the air and driving on the ground are really different experiences."

"Isn't it exciting?"

Ren Guofei asked with a smile.

The first time he drove a flying car, he had the same feeling as Chen Xing.

When driving on the ground, you can't go to the limit because the roads don't allow it, and there are cars and pedestrians from time to time.

But it's different in the air. You have an unobstructed view, allowing you to use it as you wish.

"Exciting, I can't imagine the adrenaline rush this car can give me at top speed."

Chen Xing nodded in response.

"Haha, I was the same at the time. I found it very exciting, but I still like the smart driving mode, which is safe and reliable."

As soon as Ren Guofei finished speaking, he looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, let's eat first. I've specially reserved a table for you to enjoy the feast."

"Haha, okay."

Chen Xing was also a little hungry.

He got off the plane and went straight to the Northern Automobile Factory. Not to mention taking a break, he didn't even take a sip of water.

The group of people stepped out of the flying car and went straight to Fengtian's specialty restaurant.

Although Northeastern cuisine has been severely weakened due to force majeure factors, the taste is in line with the taste of most people.

If it's Hunan cuisine or Xicheng's local cuisine, you'll eat it without saying a word.

…

Arriving at the specialty restaurant, Chen Xing had not even had two bites before there was a knock on the private room door, followed by a familiar voice.

"Is Brother Chen inside?"

The magnetic, thick voice and the familiar timbre made Chen Xing immediately put down his chopsticks and walked towards the door of the box without wiping his mouth.

As soon as he opened the door, Song Weiguo's resolute and slightly dark face came into view.

"Chief Song, please come in quickly. I was thinking of visiting you later, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"I just learned that you arrived in Fengtian, so I just came here to take a look."

Song Weiguo walked into the box.

The guard was very sensible and closed the box door, giving enough privacy for conversation.

"Chief Song."

"Chief Song."

Ren Guofei and Hua Ming stood up quickly, and Zhao Siqiu, who also served as bodyguard, also said hello.

Song Weiguo nodded. Before he took his seat, he looked at Chen Xing and said insinuatingly: "Brother Chen always goes to the Sanbao Hall for nothing. This time he came to Fengtian City in person. I am afraid that our automobile technology has made new progress." (This chapter. over)
