Although Golden Sun manufactures pure electric cars, Qin Tao also knows that pure electric cars have many problems. Currently, their main sales areas are in the south, and they rarely sell them in the north. In the winter in the north, the power capacity is reduced by half. Isn’t that a scam?
?
Even though the country is strongly supporting the development of pure electric vehicles, Qin Tao also knows that the most suitable scenario for pure electric vehicles is urban transportation, and he has a fixed parking space and charging piles downstairs, which can be charged at night and used during the day, which is very satisfying.
He cannot brag about how awesome his pure electric vehicles are just because he owns a pure electric vehicle. He can even take a trip to the northwest of the motherland, and he has to have a large power bank to accompany him.
Although there is a future city project, he doesn't know how long it will take for wireless power supply to be practical. All roads across the country have been dug up to bury power supply devices, and it is still far away.
In this transformation process, there will be a huge market for hybrid power.
I usually use electricity in the city and go out on the expressway to get gas. Especially during holidays, I don’t know how long it will take to wait in line on the expressway for charging.
In the past, Qin Tao never thought about getting a hybrid. After all, there are so many car companies in the country. He is a shipbuilder and cannot steal their jobs. But now, since Mr. Mao worked so hard to find him, he still
If you try hard to dig a trap for yourself, you have to cooperate.
Hearing Qin Tao's words, Mr. Mao was happy at first, and then frowned: "Mr. Qin, all car companies are stubborn and don't like to use outside technology for fear of being taken advantage of by other manufacturers. You have to give me some advice."
If various car companies offer supporting services, they may be conflicted."
Every car company that emerges from the market has a backbone, and they will strive to take their own destiny into their own hands to avoid being manipulated by others.
In the field of gearboxes, this is the case.
You can make manual transmissions, but not automatic transmissions. You can only purchase them from a few suppliers around the world. It's easy to say that ZF in Germany only makes gearboxes but not cars, but Aisin is different. They are owned by Toyota.
.
Many car companies purchase their transmissions, but if they oversell and threaten Toyota's sales, the supply of transmissions will be cut off.
Needless to say, domestic car companies, even the famous giant Volkswagen, have been played by Toyota. Later, Volkswagen made a big idiot gearbox, just to control its destiny in its own hands, and Eastern car companies also switched to it one after another.
Big fool's camp.
Although Mingzhou Group is Dongfang's own company, car companies will still resist. What if Mingzhou Group controls the lifeblood?
Qin Tao smiled: "It's best if they cooperate with us. If they don't cooperate, then we can buy a bankrupt car factory and build hybrid cars ourselves. They should know that only cooperation can achieve a win-win situation."
The most important thing in the field of car manufacturing is the birth certificate. Many car companies have discounted on this. Golden Sun Automobile has the birth certificate, which was also obtained by acquiring a bankrupt automobile factory. Now it is most likely to acquire another one to specialize in manufacturing hybrids.
"Mr. Qin's courage is indeed great." Mr. Mao nodded: "I admire you, I admire you!"
"I will tell the horseman and ask him to set up a department to study hybrid technology." Qin Tao said: "You can also send people to participate and build a hybrid system suitable for the army as soon as possible."
"okay."
In later generations, military vehicles did begin to undergo hybrid reform. The Yankees' Stryker armored vehicles were planned to be equipped with hybrid vehicles. This was also the experience summed up in several wars.
As for Dongfang, they have already begun research on the layout. If a behemoth like a multi-axis missile launch vehicle uses a transmission shaft, it will be very complicated and difficult to control. It would be much simpler to drive all those wheels with motors. Hybrid
Power is the best choice.
Now, the Mingzhou Group has grown and grown, and can also help.
The electric drive scheme of warships can also be transplanted to land. Although it is a bit more troublesome, since there is a need, we can help you.
Mr. Mao was escorted to the car by Qin Tao and waved goodbye.
"President Qin, are our Mingzhou Group going to march into ground weapons?" Xu Zhengyang said: "If there is such a plan, we will come up with a specific plan as soon as possible."
"There is no need to worry yet." Qin Tao said with a smile: "This technology research will usually take three to five years. We will wait until it is developed and equipped for the army. By the way, what happened in the group recently?"
"It's nothing major. Warships are still in production. As for civilian ships, the dredger we are producing for relevant departments is about to be launched."
"Oh, this is an important project. Come on, let's take a look."
As a large number of warship construction tasks have been transferred to Qiongzhou Shipyard, the shipyard at the headquarters of Mingzhou Group has mainly built foreign trade warships and some civilian ships. The business of dredgers is not often accepted, but as long as it is accepted, it is a big business.
For example, the dredger to be built this time has once again created a miracle.
The length is 155 meters, the width is 32 meters, the depth is 13.5 meters, and the fully loaded draft is 9.9 meters. These data represent its huge size.
As for its digging ability, it is quite powerful. The maximum digging depth is 36 meters. It can cope with various seabed environments with ease. When using pipelines, it can discharge the excavated things up to 15 kilometers away!
With Dongfang's strength, all these can be easily accomplished, and compared with previous models, this dredger has another significant feature: it uses a dual-fuel engine.
Yang Dawei was standing on the slipway, exchanging something with the shipowner's representatives. When Qin Tao walked over, he heard their discussion.
"This is the largest dredger in the world, and it is also the pride of our East. Of course, it is also our contribution to world environmental protection. The biggest feature of this dredger is that it uses LNG and diesel dual-fuel engines. Under normal circumstances
Next, we mainly use LNG, which is more environmentally friendly."
Natural gas vehicles have begun to become popular on road transport vehicles. After all, the exhaust emissions of such vehicles are cleaner and can protect the environment. At sea, the emissions of various ships are also constantly increasing, and the backward engines in the past are gradually being eliminated.
Natural gas is starting to become mainstream.
Mingzhou Group also has strong technical reserves when it comes to natural gas engines. After all, one of their most important civilian ships is a liquefied natural gas ship. During the transportation process, such ships will constantly leak natural gas.
It would be wasteful to emit natural gas directly into the air, so it could simply go into the engine and be burned.
Under this plan, the Mingzhou Group's liquefied gas carriers had dual-fuel engines. Now that they are installed on the ships in front of us, it is even easier.
"Mr. Qin, are you here?" At this time, Yang Dawei saw Qin Tao coming and immediately greeted him.
"Well, let me take a look. Our ship is about to be launched?"
"Yes." Yang Dawei said: "This Xinhai was customized by a certain unit in our country, and this Wang Bureau is the leader of that unit."
Director Wang is a short, fat man in his fifties, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, on behalf of our unit, I would like to thank you Mingzhou Group. Your original slipway construction period has been scheduled to three years later. We learned that we are anxious
After using it, they found a way to vacate a slipway for us and started construction quickly. Thank you very much!"
"It should be." Qin Tao guessed that it should be the time when the construction task was transferred to Qiongzhou, so it was just a coincidence at that time.
"The title of the world's No. 1 dredger will be given to this dredger from now on." Qin Tao said with emotion.
At that time, Mingzhou Group built a large dredger, with a total length of only 127.5 meters, a width of 22 meters, and a draft of 6 meters. Compared with the ship in front of you, it was completely a little brother.
That ship can dig up to thirty meters deep, and its maximum mud discharge distance is only six kilometers. These data are incomparable to what is in front of you. Over the years, with the rapid development of various domestic technologies, the strength of the dredger has also become more and more powerful.
The bigger.
"This first is only temporary. In the future, we will definitely be able to manufacture larger dredgers in China." Wang Ju said: "It will definitely be nuclear-powered."
Even if the LNG dredger is the world's most advanced model, it still needs to use fuel. Only nuclear power can achieve unlimited endurance and can continue to work day and night.
Mingzhou Group has rich experience in building nuclear-powered ships, including nuclear submarines, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, civilian ships, nuclear-powered icebreakers, floating nuclear power plants, etc. Naturally, this dredger can also be built with nuclear power.
"Nuclear power? Yes, it might even be nuclear fusion power." Qin Tao said with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Qin, you are right." Wang Ju agreed with a smile.
"By the way, this dredger you ordered is going to dredge which waterway?"
"Due to the accumulation of sediment in the sea area over Xiamen, the river channel is in urgent need of dredging. The dredger we ordered is intended to dredge the nearby sea area."
Qin Tao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, it's time to clear it up. The channel over there must be at least twenty meters deep."
Is this a coincidence, or did the superiors do this intentionally? Qin Tao doesn't need to ask any more. It's enough to know that as our strength increases, a certain mission begins to slowly pave the way.
"Yes, our next door is the 14th largest port in the world, with an annual throughput of tens of millions of standard containers. The port is extremely busy, but the channel is narrow, making it inconvenient to develop trade, so we have to start dredging the channel. Our existing dredgers
If it’s not enough, we must build a new one.”
When the waterway is dredged, the previous dredgers will need to be used, and now the newly built dredgers will also need to be used. When the time comes, they will start working together, and the efficiency will be extremely high. "Actually, our brand-new dredgers will not only
It is not only reflected in digging deeper and digging more, but also in the operating system. This kind of dredger has a large number of intelligent operating systems developed by us. Such a large ship usually only needs twenty or thirty crew members.
That's enough." Yang Dawei continued to introduce.
"Yes, the era of intelligence has arrived, and the key to intelligence is advanced computer systems and powerful computing capabilities." Qin Tao said, "In this regard, we are already far ahead of the curve."
Dongfang is indeed at the forefront in this field!
In the past, Bitcoin was only used to sell computer hardware. However, when artificial intelligence developed, it was found that without powerful computer hardware, it was impossible to become a qualified high-tech enterprise.
Silicon Valley.
This used to be the location of the world's most advanced electronic technology, home to various high-tech companies, large and small, and also the place with the best wages and benefits in the world.
But now, this place has become desolate. As Dongfang Electronics Technology continues to grow, many small companies here have collapsed due to competition, and large companies are barely surviving on government funding.
On one of the small buildings, there is a sign of the Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. It has not been wiped for a long time, and there is a lot of dust on it. The setting sun shines down, making the place look even more lonely.
In the office, a group of people are preparing to get off work at the end of the day. It is impossible to work overtime, even if the company goes bankrupt. They have long been accustomed to this rhythm of life, and it is impossible to change it anymore.
"Rule, why don't you leave? Let's go have a drink together."
"I'm looking at this web page." Ruhl said: "It's very interesting. You only need to enter a few fixed words and a paragraph will appear in it."
Ruhl was not working, just playing, when he discovered a strange website.
"For example, if I enter the big bad wolf, mother-in-law, and little girl, you see, a story will be automatically generated here. The little girl went to play in the forest and met the big bad wolf pretending to be her mother-in-law..."
"This should be a fairy tale by Andersen, right?"
"It should be, but it's a little different."
"There seems to be a payment option here?"
"What are you doing?" At this moment, a person came out of the general manager's office. Seeing them gathering around the computer, he immediately asked.
Everyone disperse quickly.
This man is their leader, Piero, who is known as the spiritual evangelist of Silicon Valley. In recent years, he has never had a smile on his face. Now...
It's better to avoid getting into trouble and leave as soon as possible.
Rule couldn't leave because Piero was coming to his computer, so he could only spread his hands innocently: "It's time to get off work, I..."
"Enter your paid account number."
"What did you say? I..."
"Otherwise I will fire you!"
"Okay." Ruhl could only pay online, and then a lot of computer pages came out, and ten different stories appeared on the screen!
How is this going?
"Their search engine is really powerful, but I don't think it's worth paying for these search contents. These are just some stories."
"Re-enter, broom, wizard, evening. Pay again."
Still paying? Ruhl was very dissatisfied, but it was much less than his salary. He didn't want to be fired.
Enter it again, and ten different descriptions come out.
"Enter a few more and we'll change some, aircraft carriers, catapults, carrier-based aircraft..."
"Boss, can you guarantee this is the last time?"
"Rule, can't you still see it? If you really don't have any premonition, then I really have to fire you." Piero said.
"Isn't it just a search engine? Could it be that someone is writing for us behind our back?"
"You can put these stories on a search engine and see if you can find similar ones."
Ruhr entered it curiously, and sure enough, there was nothing! With the power of today's Internet search engines, even if it only appears once, it can be found. If it cannot be found, it can only mean that... this is written now!
Could it be that someone behind the Internet is helping them write stories? It’s impossible. Enter it, click the button, and the results will come out immediately. There is only one possibility: these stories are generated immediately!
"Is it possible that this was automatically generated by a computer? Is this the artificial intelligence we are studying?"
"Yes, it's artificial intelligence." Pierre said: "Now, they have developed to the point where they can write their own stories. Of course, this is just for us to see. Maybe they want to use this method to
Feed their artificial intelligence and make it more intelligent, and they may have more advanced ones, such as generating images or even videos!"
Pierrot began to study artificial intelligence when he was in college. It was only in the 1980s. He first studied at Harvard University and then at MIT. The United States was not late in researching this aspect. In the 1990s, Pierrot was still
I have been to the artificial intelligence laboratory at Stanford University. The artificial intelligence at that time could understand other people's words and make correct responses after understanding. It was simply impossible to write a story based on just a few words!
It can’t be done now!
The Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Research Institute established by Piero is studying how to use the technology at hand to realize artificial intelligence. At this time, some peers are already one step ahead and have developed artificial intelligence to the point of putting it on the market and accepting market testing!
"Oh, God, it sure works. I entered the title and abstract of the paper, and it automatically wrote a paper for me, and it also met the standards for plagiarism checking!" At this time, everyone else returned to their seats, including
A person tried entering these contents, then paid, and sure enough it was generated!
The sentences in it are fluent, and although there is a lot of nonsense, it is still a paper that can handle errands.
This is amazing!
This requires strong computing power. After getting the requirements, you start searching for all relevant information on the Internet, and then you have to understand and analyze it yourself, and then create it!
American technology can’t do it!
"I found out that this website is registered in the Pearl of the Orient, but that's just the registration place. The server must be in the East!" Another person shouted.
Everyone present fell silent.
Dongfang's technology is getting stronger and stronger, and the fields they are good at are being surpassed one by one. Now, in the field of artificial intelligence, Dongfang is at the forefront again, and now it can help with writing!
In the future, those writers are afraid that they will be unemployed, right? Especially those online writers. Even if they are very talented, typing 20,000 words a day is incredible. And this kind of artificial intelligence can probably write a book of millions of words a day.
An online novel.
In the future, painters will lose their jobs, cartoonists will also lose their means of survival, and then there will be actors...
What about programmers? Will computers write their own programs in the future? Everyone present will also be unemployed!
Thinking of this, they began to shudder involuntarily.
"We have to find a way to get a large number of graphics cards from the East to form advanced servers. We also have to develop artificial intelligence. Those damn miners have allowed computers that are supposed to serve human technology to create virtual currency!"
