Big Country Technology Starts with Mobile Phones - Chapter 208 Concept Car
The so-called “Xingji Concept Car” is just a high-end electric motorcycle currently in trial production by Nebula Technology. It is not an electric car, but it also carries Liu Dalang’s high-end concepts.
First of all, the appearance is completely different from the two electric vehicles that have been mass-produced, or it can be said that it is very different from any two-wheeled transportation tool on the market. The overall shape alone is very different.
This Xingji electric vehicle not only uses the magnetic levitation spherical tires that Nebula Technology is still developing, but also comes standard with solar motors, kinetic energy storage and recovery, braking, and suspension shock absorber systems…
Theoretically, it only takes 3.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h, and has a cruising range of more than 1,200 kilometers. It can also absorb solar energy and kinetic energy to store electricity during driving.
The most important thing is that it also protects the two-wheeled mobility tool from wind, sun and rain, has a fully enclosed retractable color-changing roof, and integrates Nebula AI display and thermal insulation technology…
In layman’s terms, AI display is similar to car AR navigation, but it can do much more than AR navigation. In the words of the designer, this is a two-wheeled open-top technology sports car ~
As for the car system… this is Nebula Technology’s specialty. Whether it is mobile phones or various types of two-wheeled and four-wheeled car companies, there are really few manufacturers that can compete with Nebula OS.
Liu Dalang and his party came to an exhibition hall with an area of more than 200 square meters, where a car with a streamlined aesthetic, yet wild, as if it came out of a movie, was displayed.
The product manager was already talking at the side: “Seriously, if this car can be put on the market, let alone sell for 500,000, even if it sells for 5 million, there will still be countless people coming here!”
Liu Dalang nodded and did not speak. Instead, he held his chin with one hand and thought about something.
It is a pity that with the current level of Nebula technology, not even 1/3 of the problems have been solved, and mass production is even more difficult. It is like a dream to pass the registration within five years and successfully mass produce.
But Liu Dalang didn’t care about this at all, he said directly: “I will release this product at the Nebula Technology Summit in the second half of this year, and the completion rate must reach at least 40%!
Be sure to make it run! Even if it’s just a slow walk around our venue, it’s fine! The most important magnetic levitation spherical tire technology is solved by us, and the rest…”
To sum up, in one sentence, high technology is handled by Nebula Technology, and the overall progress is not important. Even if it does not reach 40%, it does not matter, but the electric car must be able to run.
This is the key point. Many manufacturers hype their products at press conferences, and even release some “concept products” that far exceed their own technological level, but they turn out to be just concepts.
Liu Dalang wants to turn the “concept” into reality, and then turn it into a product that can truly be launched and mass-produced. Finally, the price must be lowered so that ordinary people can afford it.
Who doesn’t already have two concept products?
If you have the ability, take out the goods and sell them!
After the fourth-generation Xingyu press conference, Nebula Technology on the one hand focused on product marketing + supply, and on the other hand, it asked the marketing department to release two pieces of news about Xingyun 2018:
“According to rumors! Nebula Technology will release two electric mobility vehicles in the middle to late this year. The price of the home version is around 6,000 yuan, and the price of the city version is around 10,000 yuan…”
As for the configuration, many self-media have revealed it a long time ago, including a battery life of 150km+, a carbon steel integrated frame, high-performance tires… and the most important thing is its unique fast charging technology.
This product has attracted much attention since last year. In addition, the new energy industry is a rapidly developing industry. Everyone is looking forward to Nebula Technology’s achievements.
Even Xiaomi has released inaccurate news about entering new energy vehicles, not to mention Nebula Technology, the new “King of Domestic Products”, which will definitely have a place for them.
However, Liu Dalang believes that with the current level of Nebula Technology, it is a bit too hasty to enter new energy vehicles. Dalang Technology can give it a try, but Nebula Technology, which takes the mid-to-high-end route, will definitely not do it.
After so many years, major manufacturers have long been accustomed to Nebula Technology’s marketing methods. Mobile phone manufacturers are not interested in this news, while electric vehicle and motorcycle manufacturers reacted fiercely.
Some new energy motorcycle manufacturers simply can’t sit still. Isn’t this a joke? Their electric vehicles of the same model, even scooters without fast charging, are priced at least 20,000 yuan.
“MD! Nebula Technology! It’s too much! It’s not giving us a way to survive! It’s forcing us to become vassals of their products! It’s too much!”
“Hey! An electric car with a range of about 10,000 yuan and a range of 180 kilometers! I just don’t know how fast the fast charging is… but I guess it can’t be slow…”
“Boss, do we still need to research and develop our Guangyang S? How can we fight against this? We can’t beat it at all! Fast charging will kill us!”
“The shortcoming of electric vehicles is the charging problem. Whether it is a car or an electric vehicle, charging speed is always a factor that restricts battery life…”
“Electric cars can be charged at home, but who wants ordinary electric cars when there is fast charging? Let the public relations team write a copy to promote it!”
“Let’s just say that our graphene battery is the safest and most stable on the market! Charging is a bit slow, but it doesn’t damage the battery! It lasts longer!”
“What? It doesn’t matter what the facts are! What matters is that people believe in us! And our products are definitely cheaper!”
“…”
Mobile phone manufacturers have many tricks to play with, and electric vehicle manufacturers also have many tricks. Lithium iron phosphate, ternary lithium, graphene… as well as motor power and battery capacity can all make a big fuss.
As for the cost… you just need to know that the electric vehicle industry is also a huge profit industry, and the most popular electric vehicles in the 2000~3000 range have almost no configurations.
It is just for riding, and the battery capacity is generally concentrated between 10 and 15ah. On the premise that the motor power is relatively small, the theoretical endurance can reach 50km, but it is only a theory.
In fact, due to different riding conditions, there are very few low-end electric vehicles that can run 50km, let alone the speed, riding quality, charging time… In one sentence:
Not enough money!
Even though the prices of the two Xingji 2018 models are much higher than those of electric vehicles on the market, they are still the two most cost-effective vehicles. They use solid materials and there is no ambiguity in the promotion.
A large part of the reason why high-end electric motorcycles on the market are expensive is to share research and development costs. Nebula Technology does not have this problem at all, and it is not worried about affecting the overall market.
There is no benefit in continuing to allow some junk technologies, junk batteries, and junk dealers that should have been eliminated long ago to exist. Instead of doing this, it is better to get out of the game early and rectify the market first.
As for the follow-up, Liu Dalang will let Nebula Technology gradually decentralize the technology. Other manufacturers only need to develop different types of products on this basis. Why is it so troublesome?
It’s just that Nebula Technology doesn’t know how much money it will make less. Liu Dalang doesn’t care. Real businessmen will always only earn a small part of the profit, and there is another important reason:
He wants to use the “Science and Technology Collection” to promote the level of technological development in China and even the entire world. He has only one purpose: when he sees higher technology, he also wants to bring everyone with him!
“Sometimes the pressure of real life makes people breathless, but don’t forget to look up at the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars. People cannot be confined to this small cage forever…”
After Liu Dalang returned to Nebula Technology, several project teams once again entered into intensive work. This year, there were more product updates, including mobile phones, tablets, laptops…
There is also a new version of Nebula OS, as well as endless adaptation work. Next, there is the task of electric vehicles, but Xingji Electric Vehicles will be operated by a separate subsidiary.
As for Nebula Technology, it is still the “domestic light” that mainly focuses on communication terminals. As for what is going on with its friends… the mobile phone market has been slaughtered by Nebula Technology, what else can be done?
They couldn’t withstand the normal upgrade of the fourth-generation Xingyu, let alone the 2018 Nebula Technology Summit. Until now, they are still fighting with the Nebula mid-range machine…
Using flagship phones to compete with mid-range phones, and being beaten without any power to fight back, manufacturers such as Huami OV began to doubt themselves for a while, and even wanted to quit, but they couldn’t do it even if they didn’t…
It has finally developed to this point, and it is not easy to transform for a while. The most likely outcome in the future is to be acquired by some domestic automobile giants and become a part of them.
However, compared to acquiring other mobile phone manufacturers, the value of Nebula OS is obviously higher. Not only have new energy car companies come to visit several times, but traditional car companies also need to upgrade to adapt to the times.
An excellent and stable car-machine system and a car-machine chip with stable supply and large production capacity are also what they need most. The Snapdragon 8155 that was later promoted is actually not that powerful.
In theory, it is only equivalent to Snapdragon 865. It can actually be called a flagship car chip in 2022. Some cars using Snapdragon 8155 are not actually smooth.
Of course, no matter how bad the Snapdragon 8155 is, it is more than enough to beat the current Chixiao, and the 8155 also supports 5G, UFS3.1, etc. If you want to really sanction Snapdragon, you have to wait until the second half of this year.
Before the Snapdragon 8155 is released, launching Nebula Technology’s exclusive automotive flagship chip in advance is definitely a good thing for Nebula Technology. It can sell chips and reputation.
Especially when major car companies use Nebula Technology’s chips as a promotional selling point… the publicity effect is the greatest. After all, cars are different from mobile phones, and the life of a car is much longer.
What does it mean if it can be used for three years without lag? If you have the ability, come up with a super car chip that can last for ten years without getting stuck! As for subsequent updates…don’t worry about this, it can still go smoothly.
People who don’t want to change will remain indifferent no matter how much propaganda is given, while people who want to change only need to give them a little stimulation, and they will have thoughts and develop desires under this impulse.
