Chapter 1324 Flowers Bloom, Waiting for the Flowers to Fall

The problem of Erran fuel cell vehicles has been solved. Then the rest of the four holes are much simpler, and Zhang Lan has even begun to calculate how many cars he needs to be able to exert the maximum effect: let the Japanese jump in a hurry, and finally lose an inch! At that time, it is time to harvest for yourself.

There are less than 100 first-tier cities and second-tier cities in China, and if there are fuel cell vehicles in operation in each city, if they are really operated, things are not very difficult, and the entire investment will not exceed 100 million US dollars, and Zhang Lan is very sure. If this thing is done properly, someone will help you pay for your own investment in the future.

"Wouldn't you like to consider a car powered by a lithium-ion battery? Xiao Chenxi reminded Zhang Lan in a timely manner, and continued the question just mentioned, "If it is really to stimulate the Japanese, it is not enough to simply let them increase their investment in fuel cell vehicles, I think they should increase all the scientific research expenses in the automotive field as much as possible, and it is best to make them feel that the time is about to come for the survival of their Japanese automobile companies, if they don't gamble, they are likely to be left behind by Europeans and Americans?" ”

This one? Zhang Lan hesitated: Do you want to do it?

"If we simply use lithium-ion batteries as power units, it is also a good choice" At this time, without waiting for Zhang Lan to answer, Alice went to Zhang Lan and made a suggestion, "We have our own unique advantages in lithium-ion batteries, at present, our lithium-ion batteries, in the case of the same volume, the storage capacity is at least dozens of times that of other manufacturers' lithium-ion batteries." ”

This is not wrong, the capacity of the lithium-ion battery for mobile phones that can be bought on the market is only a few hundred milliampere-hours, while the capacity of the lithium-ion battery of his own company is as high as the old 10,000 milliampere-hours.

But speaking of which, a pure lithium-ion battery-powered car seems to be a good choice, huh? Who has let their company's large-capacity lithium-ion battery technology have been far behind the lithium-ion battery technology of other companies?

Zhang Lan nodded, and after hearing the two little girls say this, it was nonsense to say that this kid was not moved in his heart, "You can try this, I remember that we did similar experiments at the beginning?" ”

Similar experiments have indeed been done, and they have worked quite well. The continuous stability of the current output of the lithium-ion battery is not comparable to that of the ordinary lead-acid battery, and when the remaining power is only less than paste, it can still continue to output the current as if it was just started, rather than the ability to output the current like the wrong acid battery continues to weaken, and the lithium-ion battery is indeed a very good way to use the power of the car.

In Zhang Lan's memory, because of the bottleneck encountered in fuel cells, many concept cars in later generations have temporarily abandoned fuel cell power, and instead used gasoline-electric hybrid and purely rechargeable batteries as power.

Who knows.

"It's also a way" Before Zhang Lan could say anything, Alice's eyes lit up first, "Our fuel cell vehicles and rechargeable lithium-ion battery vehicles are launched together, and the two models with different power structures all adopt the same appearance, anyway, the appearance is the same, and the driving methods are similar, they are all electric drives, which can not only make people subconsciously form the impression that the car they sit in is a fuel cell vehicle, It can also stimulate the Japanese to increase investment in the research and development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries and special asynchronous motors, killing two birds with one stone! ”

To put it simply, this is to confuse the Japanese people: Do you know which car is powered by fuel cells?

Compared with the use of fuel cell driven electric vehicles, the use of rechargeable lithium-ion battery to drive the car is much simpler, now there are suitable asynchronous motors for electric vehicles, four asynchronous motors installed in the wheel hall can ensure that the car can play a large performance with minimal power loss at any time.

"How's the cost?" Although Zhang Lan was already moved, the little doubt in his heart still did not completely dissipate, although he knew that the cost of a car powered by lithium-ion batteries was not comparable to that of a car powered by a fuel cell.

"A car that is purely powered by lithium-ion Maike will cost no more than $50,000 if it has enough power and torque to use." Alice quickly quoted the cost.

"Damn!" Zhang Lan directly burst out with a foul language: In this case, why do you have anything to hesitate about? it!

It is very easy to engage in this fuel cell vehicle in your own company, and it is basically not too difficult to do a car powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and there is basically no great difficulty in technology, after the most important chassis, asynchronous motor, power system and other problems for an electric vehicle are solved, the most important problem of this car is the overall debugging part of the vehicle.

In fact, electric vehicles are still quite energetic, and they are not as "meat" as people imagine. Electric bikes that are not tall at first glance, but listen to the names of listeners! E-bike bikes. It's just that it's just electrically driven, and the congenital conditions are limited to death.

In Zhang Lan's memory, before she came back, in the city where she worked at the time, many people who specialized in doing small-volume and heavy-weight transportation business in the city in the logistics city chose most of them electric vehicles. And there are fewer gasoline three-wheeled motorcycles that don't have to be powered by gasoline engines at all, and because they are electrically driven, they are quite cost-effective.

However, those electric tricycles use traditional lead-acid batteries, which are more troublesome in maintenance, in terms of volume, cough cough, this is really nothing to say, the weight of the wrong acid battery used on a truck, it takes a relatively strong body to be able to move. And now I use a high-performance lithium-ion battery as the power, although it is a bit extravagant, but in terms of performance, the improvement is definitely not a matter of one or two points. ,

"Then let's launch fuel cell vehicles and lithium-ion battery vehicles together! Electrically powered cars with two power structures come together to stimulate the Japanese! Zhang Lan finally made up her mind, "As for the model, it is to use the existing one." ”

The model is specially developed by Alice Group for the World Rally Championship, and the weight of the whole vehicle is only kilograms, which is still equipped with a metal engine.

It's not that the Alice team doesn't like ceramic engines that are lighter and more sexually superior, it's that the damn foot FIA doesn't allow the Alice Group to use all-ceramic engines, thinking it's unfair to other teams, of course. It's really unfair to other teams.

However, as a compromise, the Alice Group's metal engines can be made of ceramic parts.

For this point. In response to questions from other cars, the FIA had a good excuse: Isn't there any other non-metallic part on your engine?

After the engine was now removed and replaced with a new power system, according to Alice and Chenxi's calculations, the new amount of fuel cell power was used. The amount of Dong tossed by using lithium-ion batteries as the power has been reduced to an astonishing kilogram! This is still on the premise of ensuring that the safety of this car is not sacrificed!

Now, when these two cars have been finalized and put on their own "jobs", it is much easier to replenish the energy of these two cars: whether it is to replenish the energy of a car powered by fuel cells, or to supplement the power of a car with a lithium-ion battery, it can be carried out in the company.

To refuel the fuel cell pack of a fuel cell vehicle, in fact, it basically needs to be replenished only once every four kilometers on average, and it is enough to replenish in your own taxi company, so you don't have to worry about the boredom of this car lying on the road because there is no fuel.

The dual, which is powered by lithium-ion batteries, was actually tested to carry two people in a mountainous city like Qingdao. The mileage of the voyage still reaches the persuasion kilometer, and in a relatively flat city such as the provincial capital, the mileage has reached an astonishing level, jumping kilometers, and there is no need to worry about the problem of running out of power halfway.

Anyway, in Zhang Lan's plan, someone will be responsible for checking the condition of these cars every day, and there will never be a thing of forgetting to charge and replenish hydrogen fuel, causing the car to lie down halfway.

"How long will it take to complete the test work on these two cars?" Two months later, in January of the Gong year, more than a week had passed since New Year's Day, Zhang Lan came to the company's automobile design and development center and asked Maxim, who was busy here.

The new fuel cell version and lithium-ion battery version specially designed to stimulate the Japanese are doing the final debugging work here, Maxim is constantly writing and drawing on the notebook in his hand, hearing Zhang Lan's question, is staring at the things on his notebook, Maxim, who has not reacted for a while, waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go." Hurry up and do your work, don't you see I'm busy? ”

After finishing speaking, Maxim realized that something seemed to be wrong, raised his head and saw that it was Zhang Lan standing in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly wanted to explain.

"It's okay, I'll just come over and watch, you're busy with yours, don't let me neglect my work." Zhang Lan smiled and waved her hand, "I can count on you to help me make money." ”

"Hehe" Hearing Zhang Lan say this, Maxim smiled and touched his head, this action is a bit silly, which is completely different from the talent shown by this guy in car design.

After touching his head twice, Maxim suddenly realized what Concubine Zhang was doing here, and put the notebook in his hand on a table full of various instruments next to him, "Actually, it's almost there." All the tests have already passed, and Miss Alice has come to guide us personally, so what else do we have to worry about? ”

Speaking of this, Maxim comfortably took out a huge Cuban cigar and put it under his nose and sighed affectionately twice, the aroma of tobacco made Maxim intoxicated, but he did not ignite the company's floating. Smoking is not allowed when the vehicle is tested indoors, and this will not be an exception for the car's designer Maxim.

Maxim pointed to the stove that was being tested not far away, "Now we are doing the last few key links of the re-inspection, it will take about a week or so, as long as these re-inspections are passed, this car can be officially finalized." ”

Strictly speaking, this new brand can no longer be called Zhao, compared with the previous world rally championship in the world rally championship compared to the world, although fools know that the official participation in the world rally championship models can never be compared with those prototypes, those cars are just a sheep in wolf's clothing, except for the shell, the others have all changed, but it is undeniable that it can be selected as the prototype car of the world rally championship, Its original design must have been very good for a serious part of the car's powertrain in many old drivers. I probably can't describe it as "meat" anymore.

But what does it matter? Zhang Lan originally didn't plan to take this car to drag racing.

"So fast?" Zhang Lan smiled, this son was also a little surprised in his heart, it took less than three months to design and finalize a car, this speed is amazing enough, of course, Zhang Lan knows very well that there is such a fast speed, and it is also fortunate that there is a good design of this car before to lay the foundation here, "It seems that I need to prepare a new press conference for this new car off the assembly line." ”

"Yes" Maxim has a humor peculiar to Europeans, and the guy shrugged. "This is the world's first batch of fuel cell models officially put into production, of course, we have to publicize it, I believe that when the news is released, the name of our company will be sounded in the world media for a long time."

At present, these two electric models are still a secret of the Alice Group, in order to give enough stimulation to the Japanese who are negotiating with the Alice Group to introduce fuel cell vehicles, and at the same time to give the world a stimulus, and now it seems that the effect is still very good.

For the production of these cars, Alice Group specially allocated a part of the resources of the production line to this car, and it was only a small batch of production, and the monthly output was only a bunch, so there was no need to build a production line specifically for this purpose. ,

As a result, a car with an annual output of less than four knives and will not be directly put on the market, but will be directly digested by the Alice Group itself, there is indeed no need to establish a special production line. The production line needs to be built, but not now.

However, Alice Integrated Applied Science and Technology Research Institute and Alice American Institute of Science and Technology have jointly produced a small on-board fuel cell stack production line, in order to provide a less powerful heart for the group's fuel cell vehicles.

As for the production of lithium-ion batteries, it is not so troublesome, and a new production line can be added directly, and now, the final commissioning of the production line is almost over.

"Yes, congratulations" Maxim was delighted, even dancing a little, "Oh no, congratulations to us!" As long as this car can be successfully introduced to the market, then we will be rich! ”

As an excellent designer, Maxim certainly knows that at a time when everyone is still worried about the power problem of fuel cell vehicles, his company launched a fuel cell powered taxi officially for the market at this time, what kind of shock will be caused in the market, Maxim himself dare not imagine.

Everyone knows that as a taxi, you are not required to have excellent performance, but you must have stable and reliable performance, and the official launch of a taxi that is still in the research and development stage in the world in terms of winter structure represents, as long as you are not a fool, everyone understands.

At the same time as the car is being tested after the nose, the taxi company's preparation work has also reached the final stage, all the formalities have been completed, and now the newly established Alice Group, which can basically become the most technical company in the history of the Alice Group, is finally checking the company's hydrogen storage and charging system to ensure that this thing will not become a shortcoming of this project in the future.

But this time it is not a one-time coverage of all first- and second-tier cities in China. Because fools know that it is too unrealistic, Zhang Lan plans to gradually cover the first-tier and second-tier cities in the province, and then gradually march to the provincial capitals, and completely cover the first-tier and second-tier cities in China in two years, which is determined by Alice's previous accurate calculation of the output, the annual output of our fuel cell-powered vehicles and the annual output of four lithium-ion battery vehicles, which can ensure that the financial situation of Alice Group is not affected at all.

You must know that this project is digested internally by Alice Group, and what makes Zhang Lan happy is that in this project, her father and mother are still supporting her as always.
