Chapter 1062: Car, Cart and Collider
Just as Lu Zhou began his retreat, a series of earth-shattering events had already taken place outside.
Let's start small.
The first new energy vehicle based on lithium-air battery technology has been successfully listed in Shanghai and has been introduced to the market.
Its terrifying range, which is twice that of a lithium-sulfur battery, and the wireless charging technology in the built-in battery, have sparked considerable buzz as soon as they were introduced.
The biggest surprise is that the car is a brand owned by the Piatee Group.
The vast majority of people who don't know the inside story didn't expect that a car company that mainly does civilian brands and takes the mass line will actually walk in the ...... of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen, which are unlimited. and even in front of Tesla, which also uses new energy as a selling point.
This sense of contrast really makes people feel some indescribable emotions in their hearts......
In contrast, as an offline partner of BIATY, the beep charging, which provides technical support for its wireless charging module, is much more low-key.
Since the merger of Tesla's Evgo, which operates the charging pile business, the coverage rate of beep charging in Shanghai has reached 85%, which not only completed this year's performance indicators ahead of schedule, but also began to promote the business to Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces.
At the same time, large shopping malls in California are gradually beginning to see the beep charging sign.
When the fusion power station in California is completed, the new energy vehicle market on the west coast of North America is bound to usher in a wave of rapid growth. Such a good opportunity to make money has faintly become the leading beep charging in the charging pile industry in Huaguo, and it will naturally not let it go.
After the little things are said and then the big things.
Just when Huaguo's new energy industry is making great progress, it is also a major event related to people's transportation, and another innovation and new breakthrough has appeared.
That is, the world's first vacuum tube maglev rail train Jinhu Line was officially opened to traffic, connecting Shanghai and Jinling.
According to the data on paper, the design speed of the maglev train can reach up to 2,000 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the trial operation period is 600 kilometers per hour, and the speed will gradually increase to 900-1,000 kilometers per hour after the official operation.
When they saw this news, many discerning people could see that the speed of the latter had caught up with the civil airliner.
The straight-line distance from Jinling to Shanghai is only 300 kilometers, and according to the speed of 1000 kilometers per hour, it only takes 18 minutes to sit from Shanghai to Jinling.
What is the concept of speed?
The concept is to take maglev from the western suburbs of Shanghai to Jinling, which is even faster than taking the subway from the suburbs to the city center.
After this news came out, many people ridiculed that after the Jinhu line was opened to traffic, Jinling became Jinling Station in Shanghai, and Shanghai also became Jinling Station in Shanghai. I got up early, and before I went to work and clocked in, maybe I could "fly" to Jinling to drink a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup.
Of course, considering the cost of tickets, the price of this bowl of duck blood vermicelli may make many people feel distressed.
At the same time that the people of Jinling and Shanghai welcomed the opening of the vacuum tube maglev train, the Beijing-Jin line connecting Beijing and Jinling was also under construction.
After the completion of this line, the Jinhu Line will be integrated into the Beijing-Jinshan Line, connecting the three provincial capitals from Shanghai to Shanghai, as a direct train between the first-tier cities and the new first-tier cities.
According to the notice issued by the relevant ministries and commissions, at present, in the planning of the relevant units, a total of 6 lines have been planned, and the coverage rate of the first-tier and new first-tier cities will reach 100%, and the Beijing-Shanghai line will be launched in turn according to the timetable after acceptance, and finally realize the strategic goal of "connecting all controllable fusion power station coverage areas from the east to the west, from the coast to the interior".
When the whole project is completed, the people of the whole country will officially enter the era of rail transit in which inter-provincial transportation is faster than intra-provincial transportation. Some people have never even been on a plane in their entire lives and are able to get on a faster means of transportation than an airplane......
From lithium-sulfur and lithium-air battery vehicles, to the world's first vacuum tube maglev train opened to traffic.
It has only been three years, and the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion technology has completely changed the original way of travel for Chinese people.
And this subtle and silent change continues.
Until one day in the future, this continuous quantitative change finally reaches the critical point of qualitative change.
When that time comes, people in it will not even notice it, but when they suddenly look back on yesterday, they will suddenly realize that they are in the future that were once out of reach......
After the earthly news, there is the heavenly news.
With the successful conclusion of the first IMCRC International High Energy Physics Summit, at the end of the meeting, Secretary-General Luo Wenxuan announced at the conference that the third phase of the Lunar Hadron Collider project has been completed, and the superconducting magnetic tracks using SG-1 materials have been deployed on the lunar surface, and the final assembly work is expected to be completed within the year.
If the situation is optimistic, this giant scientific research project will be able to start its first trial operation by March next year at the latest.
The only remaining problem is that it will not be easy to satisfy the appetite of this behemoth by relying on the power generation facilities on the moon.
The current solution is to lay charging equipment on a large scale, and charge it for three days for experiments and three minutes.
Of course, there are also proposals to deploy a fusion core on the lunar surface, but there are many problems both within and outside the technology.
And if it is only the fusion battery based on acoustic fusion technology on the Xiaguang, Xiangrui, and Queqiao, it will not only not be enough to generate enough power on the collider, but also quite cost-effective.
It's like dismantling the generator on an aircraft carrier to supply power to a city, no matter how small the city is, as long as it can meet the city's standards, the power consumption of the two is not an order of magnitude.
Whether it's in the sky or underground, the headlines of the international media this month seem to have been contracted by China, and that's not all.
Putting aside new energy vehicles, vacuum tube maglev trains and the collider hanging in the sky, the most exciting thing is undoubtedly the revolutionary METe100 mobile phone.
After all, this is what is truly ingrained into everyone's lives and is being noticed by young people.
Especially the carbon-based chip that has been hyped up internationally, as well as the 1+8+N strategic blueprint depicted by Warwick's product strategy officer, not only made enough gimmicks, but also detonated people's infinite expectations.
At this stormy juncture, Intel, a giant in the semiconductor industry, suddenly announced that it had signed a foundry agreement with Huawei HiSilicon to produce a new generation of processors based on carbon-based chip technology at Huawei HiSilicon's factory in Jiangcheng.
As soon as the news was released, a twelve-level hurricane was immediately set off in the entire semiconductor industry.
No one expected Intel to make such a decision.
People also don't think that HiSilicon, which has been focusing on chip design, will actually start to set up a factory?
Most people have the impression that HiSilicon is just a chip design company, following the path of OEM production, and due to its own limited production, it basically only supplies its own family.
But now, backed by the entire Jiangcheng semiconductor industrial base, and even the fifth largest semiconductor industry group, production capacity is no longer a problem.
The positions of the two sides seem to have completely changed.
On the contrary, Intel, in the new field of carbon-based chips, has to go the way of chip design and foundry production.
For China's burgeoning semiconductor industry, the cooperation between Huawei Group and Intel Group means that a large number of orders will be received from North America.
Accumulating experience and capital through other people's orders, and then investing these accumulated things into R&D and capacity improvement, can not only form a virtuous circle, but also further expand the advantages of the fledgling Huaguo semiconductor industry in this field.
The so-called strong is always strong, which is exactly this truth.
On the other hand, for Intel, from the moment they accepted those terms, gave up resisting the historical trend, and took the initiative to open the door for carbon-based chips, they had automatically rolled down a whole order from the top of the upstream of the industrial chain.
Although it is difficult to accept emotionally, it is also a helpless move in order to survive.
Seeing that Intel, this thick-eyed guy with big eyebrows, betrayed Ge. Qualcomm, which has long been in harmony with the entire industry alliance, did not hide it, and immediately announced that it had entered the carbon era, and at the same time reached a cooperation with Warwick, it sent a large number of experts in the field of communication and modem chips to Shanghai to study, and became a staunch supporter of the new ecology of the carbon-based chip industry chain overnight.
In order to survive, both Qualcomm and Intel can be said to have done their best, and even took the initiative to contribute to this "new ecology" that is about to replace their decades of hard work.
After all, only by doing so can they still have a chance to live.
If they stubbornly cling to the driftwood of silicon-based chips, Nokia, Motorola, and a series of giants that once flourished and even created an era are all lessons for them......
