As soon as the level reached the standard, Chen Zifan immediately extracted the [Stardust Blueprint] from [Stardust Technology]. A closer look showed that this [Stardust Blueprint] was still based on the Haicheng foundation of Stardust Technology.
Comparing it with the previous one, the changes are very big. If the last [Stardust Blueprint] was just the foundation and only about 5% complete, then the completion degree of this blueprint is at least 15%, which is a huge improvement.
It also unlocked a key technology that Chen Zifan currently needs: photochromic solar charging. The difference between it and traditional solar charging is that it does not require solar panels and is hidden inside the glass.
The most important thing is that its power generation capacity is no worse than that of traditional solar panels. After the photochromic particles inside the glass are increased to a certain stage, the power generation efficiency can be increased to twice that of traditional solar panels.
Of course, this is based on the original sunlight. If it is cloudy or rainy or at night, its power generation efficiency will drop by 80% to 99%. It is very simple to solve this problem and require technological breakthroughs.
The next stage of photochromic solar power generation is to use changes in light in the environment to generate electricity. Not only can it generate electricity during the day, but it can also generate electricity normally even when you are blind. Whenever a change in light is sensed, the amount of electricity generated is still the same.
It will suddenly increase sharply.
Chen Zifan couldn't help but curse when he saw it:
"Damn it, what's the point?"
He considers himself to be a "technical person" and even led a research team to develop hydrogen energy batteries back then. Although many patents on hydrogen energy have long been registered by Xiaori, the disadvantages of hydrogen energy are also very obvious, and it is almost certain that
It's the wrong direction.
But he still enjoyed the research, even if it had no meaning in itself. There was nothing he could do about it. During his graduate studies, what he hated most was doing meaningless things, but that changed completely later.
How many things in the world are meaningful? Even his life itself is meaningless...
The focus now is not on these. If you don’t understand the principle, you won’t be able to understand it. Chen Zifan doesn’t care. Stardust Technology has a team that specializes in theory. It can just decentralize these technologies little by little and put them into practice.
It’s a pity that the current level of technology is still a bit far away from photochromic power generation. Strictly speaking, it can no longer be called solar power generation, it must be called optical power generation. In addition to optical power generation, the follow-up of [Stardust Drawings] will also include new types of temperature-sensing power generation.
Power generation technology.
Chen Zifan couldn't help but think about a question, is it really electricity that these technologies emit? Or is it some other energy source? But this is not important.
He is a manufacturer of electronic products and knows a lot of technology. In his opinion, new energy vehicles are also electronic products. Everything that uses electricity is an electronic product (in a broad sense). In the future, China's high-speed railways will also be driven by electricity.
They're also...well, that makes sense!
Smartphones are the starting point and connection hub, while new energy vehicles are a bigger industry. Regarding new energy vehicles, Chen Zifan has the impression that many countries are developing towards "unlimited electricity" and have made attempts.
A European country famous for its banks has experimented with a new type of highway. There is something similar to a "rail" in the center of the road. New energy vehicles can be charged when walking on it. However, this is not air charging.
It needs to be connected.
It's a bit like a tram.
It is a pity that this method is destined to fail. The development of science and technology must be simpler and more convenient, otherwise it is not development, but regression.
This upgrade of [Stardust Technology] not only includes [Stardust Blueprints] and some supporting technologies, but also "material analysis" that Chen Zifan has always been very concerned about. In the past, he could only "analyze copycats" of specific products, but now there is no such thing.
limited.
As long as the limitations of materials can be broken through, whether it is Stardust mobile phones or Xinghan cars, the product power will make a qualitative leap. Thinking of this, Chen Zifan couldn't wait to go to a material storage room behind the Stardust factory to prepare to analyze the previous one.
Wave.
On the way, he saw a piece of bare land exposed in the grass next to a small road, with lumps of soil dug out by unknown animals. On a sudden impulse, he picked up a lump of soil and analyzed it.
A scene that was difficult for him to understand appeared:
[Oops! Analysis is too difficult!]
(Note: The technology content is too high, please continue to upgrade [Stardust Technology] level to lv.200...)
Chen Zifan:???
No? Is there a mistake!?
What is the technological content of a lump of earth?
But suddenly he became a little silent again...
His hands repeatedly kneaded the lumps of soil in his hands until it turned into finer sand and leaked to the ground from between his fingers. Then he clapped his hands and continued to walk to his material storage room, where he collected various materials.
advanced materials, including some “imported goods”.
If there are advanced materials and processes, Stardust Technology does not need to be restricted in certain aspects, and its products cannot break through. Now Chen Zifan only has one question, can they analyze it?
The result also surprised him.
lv.80's [Analyzing Shanzhai] analyzes all the artificial materials in the material storage room in one go, and can be freely matched in [Synthetic Creation]. The new materials that are matched also have notes and explanations of the material properties, as well as specific details.
Craftsmanship.
It's just...wouldn't it be too easy?
That just now?
Chen Zifan is not someone who likes to get into trouble. There is no need to keep thinking about things he doesn't understand. Sooner or later, he will figure it out. He is only in his 20s, so he is not an old man like Steve Jobs.
"I still have a lot of time..."
Although he said this, his actions were not slow at all. It took him nearly a month to prepare the materials alone. In the meantime, he also held a high-level meeting and staff meeting, announcing that a star would be established in October this year.
The fourteenth subsidiary of Chen Technology.
Many employees were very surprised:
"What is Director Chen planning to do?"
"Stardust Pioneer Material Manufacturing? What a long name... What does it do specifically? Research new materials? By the way! Where is Haoyu? Isn't he a materials major? He is also a materials science major at Haicheng University..."
“It’s just a professional match!”
"Our opportunity has come again! The competition from the headquarters is too fierce, why not go to the subsidiary to continue development!"
“The new subsidiary is very promising as soon as I hear it!”
"The list of senior executives of the subsidiary has come out! Wang Shichang, Yunfeng, Zhou Duan, Li Xiuxue, Wang Jian...hiss~ Even the technical cadres from the Stardust Factory have passed by? How many backbone cadres are there in the management?"
"It seems that Director Chen attaches great importance to the new subsidiary!"
"Isn't this normal? The establishment of the previous subsidiary almost took away 65% of the middle-level cadres from the headquarters. Have you forgotten? You just don't know what the products produced by the materials company are? I'm curious..."
"Surely it can't be steel, right?"
"Then it's better to just buy it..."
The top management of Stardust Technology has also started to take action. As for materials, the scope is too wide. However, judging from the current situation, the first batch of products of Stardust Leading Materials must be aimed at new energy vehicles.
The first thing Chen Zifan released was not high-tech technology, but lightweight materials, including various aluminum alloys, as well as high-strength steel, titanium alloy, magnesium-aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, engineering plastics, carbon fiber composite materials, etc.
Let’s fill in the technology first.
The specific products to be produced will have to be determined according to demand after the company is established. Engineering plastics (polymers) are definitely the best. Stardust Technology has experience in this area. Some BMW models later even included transmission oil.
The bottom case has been replaced with plastic material.
And plastic is extremely expensive!
This shows what?
Chives?
No, this shows that the application scenarios of engineering plastics in the future are very broad! Today, the oil pan has become plastic, but will the engine also become plastic tomorrow? Just replace all metals with plastic the day after tomorrow.
Chen Zifan didn’t mean to target BMW, but he just felt that the product was in this price range. Is the product worthy of a premium? Imported brands and joint venture brands do this, it doesn’t matter, consumers can accept it, but Xinghan Zhixing cannot accept it in the first place.
.
Engineering plastics naturally have other uses, and the remaining lightweight materials are the focus of development. Among them, carbon fiber composite materials have a very broad market prospect, but there is a problem with carbon fiber. The texture is not very good.
This "poor texture" is mainly reflected in the comparison with metal materials. Top-grade carbon fiber materials are okay, but ordinary carbon fiber looks too plastic at first glance and feels too strong when touched, even inferior to engineering plastics.
It’s too difficult to create a carbon fiber texture.
In comparison, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, and high-strength steel may be better choices. Many companies use these alloy materials, but the same aluminum alloys are also good and bad. Chen Zifan dare not say that his alloy technology is the best.
Yes, but it can definitely be among the best.
And many people have made a mistake. Stardust Pioneer Materials does not focus on producing raw materials. There are already many factories that can produce raw materials, so why build another one? They are mainly responsible for processing.
In addition to conventional materials, there are actually some fiberglass composite materials, but these will have to wait until the new subsidiary is established, so there is no rush.
Chen Zifan has no intention of applying these new materials to Xinghan Zhixing's cars in a short period of time, because Xinghan Zhixing's next car is not a high-end model, but the compact SUV Xinghan 002.
Also appearing together are Polestar A and Polestar S of Polestar Motors. One is the Polestar A, an A+ class sedan with a slightly higher positioning and slightly more expensive price than the "taxi" Polestar X, and the other is the Polestar Polestar.
002 is a smaller circle and is positioned at the same pole star S as pole star A.
The Polestar S is also a compact SUV, and its main focus is practicality. With Polestar Automobile's product positioning, it is impossible for them to create any high-end models. This product is to continue to expand the market.
The same is true for Xinghan 002. Just relying on Xinghan mini and Xinghan 001, Xinghan Zhixing feels a bit "unworthy of its name". It has a big reputation but too few products.
What? And Xinghan 009?
That's a toy car!
Many ordinary people would rather take out a loan to buy a Xinghan Mini than spend more than 30,000 yuan to buy a Taiwanese motorcycle. Maybe they like it very much, but they know that family and life are more important than their own preferences.
So the sales volume of Xinghan 009 is not that high.
What surprised Chen Zifan was that the helmet produced with Xinghan 009 suddenly became popular. If you really want to count, the brand of this helmet is also a sub-brand of Stardust Technology, but the product is OEM.
This helmet named "Wandering 009" manufactured by GSB is very good in terms of quality, function, weight, appearance, layout and safety.
Even on major online shopping platforms, "Roaming" has become a separate helmet brand. Roaming 009 even has an optional Bluetooth headset version, a smart navigation version, and various versions are expected to explode.
On a certain platform, the single-day sales of Roaming 009 exceeded 1,000 units. Such high sales made Chen Zifan very curious, what were they doing with the helmets?
After a little investigation, he discovered that only 85% of consumers use helmets normally, and the remaining 15% are either used as decorations in various stores or used as photo props by photo studios.
Chen Zifan:......
What is this all about?
Who can't see that Roaming 009 and Xinghan 009 are a matching set? Why should they be separated?
Fortunately, Xinghan Zhixing's electric motorcycle direct-operated stores are already expanding rapidly, and the products are also being followed up. The next few electric motorcycles can be regarded as small highlights.
Li Yuan and Mo Shaokun are responsible for product development and publicity, while Chen Zifan is responsible for building three new cars with Yang Zhirong. During the preparation process, he also notified Stardust Games to prepare new car modeling.
Although the game Mirage has gradually turned into a real game and lost some of its original realistic content, it still does not prevent Chen Zifan from using it as a promotional platform to warm up his own products in advance.
Anyway, cars are different from mobile phones and computers. A month is a long time to warm up a mobile phone. Many mobile phone manufacturers only warm up for a week before their press conference.
From the launch of a concept car to mass production, a car still has to go through a long waiting process.
During this process, some car models may die immediately after holding it in. It is obvious that Chen Zifan is not this kind of person, and he must do what he does.
Xinghan Zhixing is a must in the SUV market!
The other side~
In the core area of the Stardust Factory, the newly established AR glasses project team is analyzing N designs of this product. Under Chen Zifan's arrangement, Stardust Technology has successfully cooperated with lens manufacturers.
Oppo's single-sided glasses, which are similar to combat power detectors, are definitely not suitable for today's Stardust technology. Moreover, the single-sided glasses are not easy to use in actual use, and they are very difficult to use in all aspects.
Therefore, members of the project team all agreed that Stardust Technology’s AR glasses should adopt a dual-lens design.
Just as people from the lens manufacturer were there, a group leader of the project team took the lead in putting forward his opinion:
"I have a question: With our current conditions, can we produce glasses with adjustable power? Let's put aside the functions of AR glasses for now, and we must first lay down the foundation of 'glasses'!"
