Chapter 644: Destruction with confidence

"No need, what Taozi said is just a plan. For now, our research direction is limited to multiple bombs in one pit, and we strive to develop advanced launch devices. As for the other things, we will talk about it later. Let's take a bite. Why do you need to eat a little while you eat?" Wu Shengli said.

Qin Tao breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his father-in-law knew him well and knew that he didn't want his wife to travel back and forth anymore and it would be difficult for the two of them to meet, so he came up with this plan.

At this time, after hearing what her father said, Zhao Ling smiled: "That's right, we can't be anxious. The Hongqi-16B has developed very well so far. We still need to follow up to see if there are any problems with this missile. .”

Qin Tao is quite satisfied with Zhao Ling's statement.

Everyone walked along the deck, went around in a big circle, and finally reached the stern of the warship. Everyone looked at the clean and tidy engine room inside, thinking about the scene they just visited on the Shenmi: it was full of oil and there were a lot of oil inside. The wine bottle was received in a hurry, so there was no time to put it away.

 These operations of Lao Maozi are really enough to make people speechless. No matter what advanced warship they have, they will not cherish it, including the Kuznetsov, which is probably not very good either.

 Our own navy will definitely take good care of this warship.

"Our own gas turbines can finally play a role." Wu Shengli was also very emotional: "Over the years, we have been moving forward and working hard to catch up. Finally, we also have world-class warships, whether it is weapons or power, we It’s no worse than the West.”

"Actually, in terms of performance, the American LM2500 gas turbine is indeed good. It is smaller than ours, has a longer lifespan, and has much better shock-proof performance. However, we have no way to obtain the performance of American gas turbines. Although it is worse, we will not be choked by others, which is the most important thing." Qin Tao also spoke.

The two 052 destroyers, No. 112 and No. 113, have never had any sense of existence. However, according to the officers and soldiers operating those two warships, the gas turbines on them are very good, better than domestic ones and Lao Maozi's.

 No matter how good it is, it belongs to others and cannot be envied by oneself.

“Yes, we will continue to improve it!” Zhou Yongfei said: “Our technicians are working hard to increase its power. In the future, when two gas turbines drive seven or eight thousand tons of warships, there will be no problem.”

“Let’s stop here today.” Wu Shengli said, “We are also tired. Let’s go back and rest. Wait until tomorrow to listen to the detailed modification report of Mingzhou Group.”

"Okay, let's go and stay in the guest house." Qin Tao said, "Our guest house is ready."

 Everyone walked outside together, and when they got close to the factory gate, they suddenly heard the noise outside.

“This car belongs to the Japanese, smash it!”

“Yes, the Japs are too bullying. As a Chinese with integrity, how can I drive a Japs car!”

Snapped!

 The sound of breaking glass was heard.

 The road outside is already the most prosperous road in Mingzhou. Relying on Mingzhou Group and several other enterprises, Mingzhou has developed rapidly in recent years, and some people who have become rich first have begun to buy cars.

Of course, the cars parked outside are definitely not those of Mingzhou Group employees. Their cars have their own parking lots. The cars outside may be working or doing errands nearby.

Now, someone is actually smashing cars?

"You're really capable, go and burn the toilet!" Qin Tao was annoyed for a while, what kind of skill is it to smash his own compatriot's car? This is not patriotism, this is clearly hatred of the rich!

"Come here, go out immediately and arrest those who have done bad things!" Wu Shengli was also angry.

 Suddenly, a group of wolf-like Marines rushed out. Several screams were heard outside, and then there was the sound of fleeing in all directions.

“Report, five people were caught smashing the car, and other onlookers had dispersed like birds and beasts.”

Wu Shengli nodded and looked at the people with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks: "You are very powerful. In the past few years, behavior like yours was enough to eat peanuts!"

 “We are patriotic!”

"That's right, now that the Japanese are bullying us like this, we hate iron, but our compatriots are still driving Japanese cars, especially 30 cars. The money they paid for the cars is used by the Japanese to make weapons, and then they threaten us again. us!"

"Heads can be cut off, blood can be shed, but our spirit cannot be lost. From now on, we will smash one after another to see who dares to buy a Japanese car!"

These people look quite confident!

 Qin Tao was also amused by these people.

"Well, it seems you haven't realized your mistake yet. Let me tell you something." Qin Tao said: "Do you know about the October Revolution back then?"

Everyone nodded.

"After the victory of the October Revolution, the patriotic masses at that time were very enthusiastic and wanted to completely demolish the Winter Palace. In their eyes, it represented an old era in the past. However, the leaders at the time stopped them. When they demolished the Winter Palace After the palace is captured, it no longer belongs exclusively to the tsar. It belongs to the people and is the people's wealth." Qin Tao said: "The owners of those cars, no matter what their psychology, bought the Japanese cars, but as long as they bought them, That is personal property, and what you are destroying is personal property, which is a criminal act."

“According to our current laws, this kind of behavior will probably lead to imprisonment for several years.” Wu Shengli added.

At this time, several heroes were panicked.

"How much property you destroyed will require you to pay compensation. Only in this way can you be exempted from the penalty of squatting in the house." Qin Tao said.

 “Huh? We, we have no money!”

 “Yes, please, please let us go.”

 The heroes began to beg for mercy.

"Let you go?" Qin Tao said: "You are not three-year-old children. If you make a mistake, you have to accept punishment. If anyone makes a mistake and can be exempted from punishment by just begging for mercy, then why do you need the country's laws? Those Who will bear the losses of the car owners?”

“But we really have no money. Otherwise, let us work here and we can pay off our debts by going to work.”

"Work? Your abacus is very good." Qin Tao said: "Now, not everyone can come here if they want. If I accept you, if others want to enter the factory in the future, they will follow the example of you smashing cars outside. manage?"

"Are you Mr. Qin? Let us go, we will never dare again."

“Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I will be a good person for once. Do you want to travel to the island country?”

Qin Tao's sudden change of attitude made Wu Shengli very curious. When Qin Tao finished his request, Wu Shengli's eyes widened. His son-in-law was indeed full of evil.

 This little incident is in the past.

Everyone continued to walk towards the guest house. When they arrived at the guest house, Xu Zhengyang finally spoke: "Mr. Qin, is this just over?"

"Of course not." Qin Tao said: "The behavior of these people smashing cars is too much. They must be condemned in newspapers across the country, yes, and on the Internet!"

 Condemn?

If things like this get serious, those who want to buy a car after getting rich first will definitely hesitate. It’s not just Japanese cars to choose from, there are also American cars, German cars, French cars, etc. to choose from. !

The quality of these cars is not bad. In addition to being fuel-efficient, what other features do the Ghost cars have?

“I understand, I will arrange it.” Xu Zhengyang nodded.

The next time was much easier. Qin Tao and his father-in-law had dinner together and went back to their rooms to rest. At eleven o'clock in the evening, there was a familiar sound of footsteps outside Qin Tao's door.

"You, you are really devoted to your work." Qin Tao's voice came from the bed: "If I had known that you didn't care about your body so much, I shouldn't have agreed to let you work in a research and development institution. If I had been tougher, I would have directly Just keep you with me."

 “You won’t, because you love me.”

 “Are you tired today? How about I endure it a little longer?”

　　"You wait a minute, I'm going to take a shower. Hey, no, I'm sweating..."

“I just like the way you smell. Let’s wash it together later.”

the next day.

The sun shone into the room. Qin Tao lazily stretched out his hand, intending to hug the person next to him. However, he missed the opportunity. When he opened his eyes, he saw that there was no one on the bed. It seemed that he The wife has gone out to work.

 Alas, it turned out that there were only tired oxen and no plowed fields.

Qin Tao sighed with emotion, then got up, got dressed, and while washing his face and brushing his teeth in the bathroom, there was a knock on the door outside.

 “Come in, the door is unlocked.”

“Mr. Qin, this matter has become a big deal now.”

 “Is it big? What’s big?”

"After we severely condemned the behavior of those people who smashed cars yesterday, the same scene happened in many cities last night, and many Japanese cars suffered damage. Today, San0 Company denied that the design defects of the cars were caused by our roads. The brake oil pipe was worn due to poor conditions, and now the crowd is even more excited."

"Oh, these people really don't stop." Qin Tao said with emotion: "And the 30 Company is too stupid. How much does it cost to replace some oil pipes? Now, their reputation is going to be bad. It's a pity. The memory of the people is only a few months, and after a while, they will forget it again.”

“Mr. Qin, what measures should we take?”

"No need." After Qin Tao finished speaking, he thought of something and continued: "By the way, let Golden Sun Motor Company disclose the project to the outside world."

 Island country, Three Zero Friday Club.

"Now, our export road to the East is completely blocked, and our cars have become the most unpopular brands in the East." Konosuke Iwasaki said: "Although the market in the East is not very big, if it is exported from the East like this, If we are squeezed out of the market, the whole world will see our joke."

“Yes, it is meaningless to continue to deny quality problems now. We must take a sincere attitude and recall those vehicles with problems.” Masuyama Yuju said.

"Recall? We don't want to spend more money in the East. If it doesn't work, then we will inspect and replace the 30 Pajero imported through normal trade channels. Those that enter the East market through other channels have nothing to do with us. "

In the East, nine out of ten Pajeros running on the road come in through special channels. If they use this method to solve the problem, they can greatly reduce the cost of after-sales.

At this time, when Matsumoto Seiji said this, everyone present nodded.

They have to control imports and exports through formal channels, which reflects their sincerity. However, they certainly don’t have to control those that go through special channels and have no import and export records.

"Everyone, I just received the latest news." At this moment, Iwasaki Konosuke's assistant came in and said to everyone: "Oriental Golden Sun Motor Company has issued a statement that they will develop electric vehicles to contribute to human environmental protection. Career brings blessings.”

"Electric cars? What do Easterners want to do?" Seiji Matsumoto said: "Don't they know that electric cars have appeared before, but were eventually eliminated due to various defects? Do they still want to follow General Motors?"

Speaking of electric vehicles, the first thing that comes to mind is Tesla, but in fact, Tesla’s success is based on the failed General Motors electric vehicle project. This project was originally named Santana because it was similar to Oriental. The sedan had the same name, but it was soon changed to Impact.

In the 1990s, this electric car was very famous. It was expensive and could only be rented but not sold. Only the wealthy could afford it, and they also competed to buy it as a symbol of identity and status.

This car appeared because of the increasingly serious air pollution in California. However, in 2001, as the president representing the interests of the oil groups came to power, the electric car project was terminated, and the entire team entered Tesla cars and started A new journey.

 At present, impact cars are still very popular, but the sales volume is very small and they do not pose a threat to fuel cars. The East does not pay much attention to environmental protection, but it actually wants to develop electric cars?

“Electric vehicles are not environmentally friendly at all. To be environmentally friendly, they must still be hydrogen fuel vehicles.” Matsumoto Seiji said: “They are taking the wrong path.”

Everyone turned their attention to the TV, where a man was introducing the research and development plan for electric vehicles.

"Currently, fossil fuels will cause a lot of harm. Whether it is mining, transportation, or final use, they will pollute our environment. The world is calling us to develop more environmentally friendly cars. We, Golden Sun Motor Company, have now officially decided to enter the electric field. Car project.”

"For electric vehicles, the first big issue is the energy density of the battery, which will directly determine the vehicle's cruising range. Traditional lead-acid batteries are heavy and have low energy density, so they are not our best choice. Therefore, we decided Adopting a new technological route, we will use lithium batteries to build electric vehicles."

 “Lithium batteries? They really dare to think about it!”

"Yes, the world's most advanced lithium battery production line is here, which means that if people in the East want to develop electric cars, they have to purchase lithium batteries from our country. We can increase the price of lithium batteries at any time to make their Electric cars are bankrupt.”

 Everyone was very enthusiastic.

In the east, Qin Tao had breakfast and came to the shipyard office. Before meeting his father-in-law, he saw the horseman who had rushed over from Huating.

"Mr. Qin, as per your request, I have announced the electric vehicle project. However, I have always been skeptical about this project." Ma Ming said to Qin Tao: "The technology of lithium batteries is controlled by the islanders. In my hand, this year, we only established the first lithium battery production line in China, and the gap with the island countries is too big. At present, the direction of domestic research is nickel-metal hydride batteries."

"If the gap is big, then we should catch up and surpass. We are not experts in lithium batteries in China." Qin Tao said: "Invite him to come to our Golden Sun Motor Company to develop the most advanced lithium batteries, the island country's standard 18650 battery, which will be beneficial to us. It’s too small for electric vehicles, so we have to develop larger 21700 lithium batteries.”

The island country was the first to develop lithium batteries. The standard of 18650 lithium batteries has been adopted by the whole world. 18 is 18 mm in diameter, 65 is 65 mm in length, and 0 is a cylindrical battery. Therefore, it represents volume. With the advancement of technology, the capacity of the same 18650 battery will gradually increase. The initial capacity of this battery was only 1200mah, and later it increased to 3600mah.

If used in various electronic devices, this kind of battery is sufficient. However, if used in electric vehicles, when thousands of lithium batteries need to be connected in series and parallel, the bigger the battery, the better.

 The larger the battery, the fewer batteries are needed for the same capacity. The 21700 lithium battery entered the stage of history and quickly threw the 18650 battery into the garbage.

This battery has a diameter of 21 mm, a length of 70 mm, and a capacity of 4000mAh to 5000mAh. In the later stages, the capacity will be even higher.

“Domestic lithium battery expert? Mr. Qin, you mean Mr. Chen?” Ma Ming asked.

 “Well, if you know this person, that’s better.”

Mr. Chen is known as the father of lithium batteries in China. He has been developing lithium batteries. Even after that, even at the age of eighty, he is still at the forefront of scientific research. He once withstood huge pressure and asked the person in charge of electric vehicles of the 863 Project to give lithium batteries a chance. Only then did lithium batteries become a major special topic for electric vehicles.

Facts have proved that his vision was correct and his route was correct, which became an opportunity for the automobile industry to overtake in corners.

 I don’t know if it will overturn, but this is a research direction. Now that Golden Sun Motor Company has it, we must start this project.

“If we have professionals in battery research and development, then everything else will be no problem.” Ma Ming said: “The rest of the technology is in our hands.”

The battery is only one part of it. The electric energy of the battery needs to be converted into the corresponding alternating current or direct current. The electric energy needs to be controlled before it can enter the motor. The quality of the motor is also the key, which determines whether the performance of the car is excellent, as well as the recovery of kinetic energy when going downhill. These The technology is being developed by Golden Sun Motor Company: the electromagnetic arresting cable needs to collect the energy from the aircraft landing and charge the energy storage device.

Except for batteries, everything else is the best technology of Golden Sun Motor Company, so there is nothing to worry about at all.

“Well, I will go find Mr. Chen when I come down and ask him to join our Golden Sun Motor Company.” Ma Ming nodded: “We are going to develop electric cars, which should be what Mr. Chen is most looking forward to!”

“By the way, the improvement of systems such as electromagnetic ejection and electromagnetic interception is the most important. If the power on hand is not enough now, the development of electric vehicles can be put on hold first.” Qin Tao said.

 This is not a petty expense, the naval project is the most important.

Ma Ming nodded: "I know, Mr. Qin, do you have anything else to tell me?"

 Instructions?

Qin Tao thought for a while: "Electric cars are still different from our conventional cars. Its steering wheel, brakes and other systems are all controlled by electronic signals. This inherently provides conditions for our automatic driving. We develop electric cars." Cars are not only changing the power of the car, but also changing the driving scheme of the car. In the future, driverless cars will become a trend, and we will be the first to take advantage of it."

In fact, fuel vehicles can also drive autonomously. The application of technologies such as active braking, merging assistance, etc. shows that fuel vehicles can also completely free their hands. However, fuel vehicles are relatively low-key and do not use autonomous driving as a selling point.

  Electric cars are different. Since they advertise themselves as high-end and are awesome, they have to talk about autonomous driving all day long. They never mention that autonomous driving is divided into five or six levels. At most, it is only Level 3 and a half.

“Autonomous driving? This is not simple. It is completely beyond the scope of our research and development.” Ma Ming said.

"Yes, it is indeed beyond your scope. Other subsidiaries of our Mingzhou Group will also help. Some are engaged in chips and some are engaged in software. I will say hello to them and ask them to mobilize their best troops and organize specialized research and development. team."

“Mr. Qin, this technology is too difficult. I don’t know how much money it will cost to develop it. Even if our Mingzhou Group has money, we cannot continue to invest in such a bottomless pit.”

“Funds for research and development must of course rely on social financing.” Qin Tao said: “This specialized agency must of course be separated from other companies, listed separately, and conduct dozens of rounds of financing.”

The favorite thing for electric car enthusiasts is financing. Obviously they don’t even have a car factory and they have to produce OEMs. As a result, they have to raise dozens of rounds of financing and sell them dozens of times and it’s not enough to repay them. But investors are still full of confidence. , what we are optimistic about is the future!

 As long as the packaging is good, financing can be completed naturally. Qin Tao is also very clear about this kind of capital operation.

Xu Zhengyang on the side felt a chill in his heart.

 Fortunately, the electric vehicle project is finally finished.

“By the way, Ma Gong, you’re not here just to report on this project, right?”

"Of course not. I'm here to attend a meeting in your design office. They have decided to replace the generator with a more powerful one when renovating the Shenmi."

Lao Maozi's previous power supply was definitely not enough. After all, during the renovation, some electronic equipment had to be replaced, which would increase power consumption. The arrival of Ma Ming, an expert, was to report on electric vehicles to Qin Tao on the one hand. On the one hand, I attended the meeting of the First Design Office of Mingzhou Group.
