From knock-off old-man's electric vehicles to industrial giant

Chapter 309 America Bombarded by Technology
"To solve the Bluetooth signal problem, Xingchen actually developed a separate car key to link the smartwatch with the new energy vehicle..."

But this car key is truly unexpected!

The industry insiders present were all dumbfounded!
Rumors of StarCraft making mobile phones have been circulating for several months.

Wang Chuanfu and Li Bin had private conversations with Xu Yi to discuss this issue.

Automakers prioritize feature development, but also consider weight and cost.

The reason why BYD Tang did not have seat ventilation before was due to this consideration.

of course.

They have already changed this "bad habit" this year.

Discovering the consumer market's emphasis on "sofas" and correcting past mistakes is commendable.

They don't have the resolve to renegotiate the agreement yet.

Ecological issues require in-depth consideration.

But to my surprise, Xingchen actually did what she said she would do.

That was done so quickly.

This is so unexpected!!
Wang Chuanfu had a bad feeling!

hiss.

This seems to be a combination of moves...

Could Xingchen still have some tricks up his sleeve?

It's just a concept car unveiled, but the technical details revealed are already more than enough!

It's about time it ended, isn't it?
He looked towards the stage.

Just then, Xu Yi also looked in this direction, and their eyes met, causing an invisible aura to ripple outwards.

From President Xu's calm eyes, he saw signs of an impending storm, a menacing aura lurking beneath the surface.

--wrong!
Something's not right...!

...

Just as Wang Chuanfu thought to himself, "This is bad," the sounds from the scene began.

"Next, please enjoy the original function exclusively developed by Xingchen Technology Group - Tank Turnaround."

Xu Yi stopped making gestures and instead looked down to open the "Turn Around" page on his smartwatch, then pressed and held the touchscreen.

To prevent misidentification, this complex function will not be determined by gestures for the time being.

It might be possible when the model's recognition accuracy and gestures are higher.

The earliest "turn-around function" appeared on tanks and tracks, utilizing the properties of differential steering and slip steering. Traditional fuel vehicles, no matter how they develop, do not have this function due to the use of drive shafts.

However, the "four-motor distributed drive" of new energy vehicles has turned this impossibility into a possibility.

After all, differential steering with "positive and negative torque of the left and right wheels" is closer to the principle of tank tracks.

Xu Yi remembered that when this thing was first announced in the automotive industry, it was at least around 21-22, when Geely and BYD respectively announced the "tank turn" function of their vehicles.

If we trace the scope back to overseas countries...

It originated from an electric vehicle startup called "Rivian," which publicly released the "tank turn" feature globally in 19.

This is the first time the vehicle has appeared in front of social media and the public worldwide after rotating 360 degrees on the spot.

but now!
Starry Sky is a year ahead of it!
Whoever posts first is the original creator!
Therefore, Xu Yi must emphasize that this is a "specially developed" and "original feature" of Xingchen Technology!
In front of numerous world-class foreign media outlets and various domestic official media, the title was first established.

Even if "Rivian" jumps out to refute it, saying that they had a contingency plan in place, it won't overturn Xingchen Motors' status as the number one person.

The publication date and patent application can both prove this.

Alright, enough chit-chat.

As the words fell again.

—The car started moving!
The digital screens on the side of the mecha-shaped vehicle lit up one by one, the aerodynamic grille on the front slowly opened, and the large rear wing rose up on its own...

Don't get me wrong, this isn't for racing; the R&D department simply thought that it would look better to open up the aerodynamic components like the rear wing and front grille when making a U-turn.

It has a kind of "fierce and menacing" quality...

Oh no.

It has a kind of "full-force" beauty!

The sound of tires rubbing against the ground could be heard.
The four 22-inch wheels of the mecha sports car in front of us began to rotate regularly according to the positive and negative torque. Thanks to precise vector control, the center point of the entire car body hardly shifted at all, while the front and rear of the car were slowly turning around.

Many foreign media outlets were shocked!

Domestic social media and car reviewers were also shocked!!

While the technical difficulty of turning a tank around is not as great as that of an 800V full-range voltage platform, the impact it delivers is several orders of magnitude greater!

"What...he has a special skill too!!"

"All four wheels are moving, but they seem to be rotating at slightly different speeds. How is this possible? How does Xingchen achieve individual control of each of the four tires? Can drive shafts really do this now?"

"It doesn't look like a typical four-wheel drive system. This car's powertrain is completely different from other electric vehicles!"

……

Some professional car reviewers stared at each other in disbelief.

While shocked, I wanted to find the answer on the spot.

Even top car reviewers who pride themselves on their extensive knowledge felt their knowledge reserves were insufficient at this moment!

That's fucking hardcore. If Mr. Xu hadn't explained it on the spot, they wouldn't have understood how that gesture-based summoning function worked at all.

Now, this U-turn on the spot is even harder to understand.

How did it fall over?

Pure gasoline-powered four-wheel drive or electric four-wheel drive vehicles simply cannot achieve this effect!

They'd never seen them before!
...

"Four-wheel vector control differential, Starcraft installed four motors in this car?!"

Wang Chuanfu was the first person to see the secret behind this car.

Then he gasped.

BYD Research Institute has envisioned such a solution. Unlike engines, electric motors can be made very small, but their power density is very high. If electric motors were installed on each of the four tires, turning around on the spot would be just the most basic function...

But they haven't done any further research or practice yet!

BYD's research and development of wheel-side motors is still in the theoretical stage.

...

"What? This is China Automotive?"

Obermu and his regional executives arrived a few minutes earlier.

In his opinion, in terms of electric powertrain technology and prestige, there would be no other concept car on site that could rival the "Mission E".

The 800V voltage platform is a formidable obstacle.

To build this car well, "the Mission E project has invested over 1 billion euros, and there is a subsequent 3 billion euro brand electrification development plan. You can say that Porsche is expensive all over the world, but you can't say they are bad!"
Among all supercar brands, Porsche has the lowest failure rate and the best lap time performance, and they maintain this philosophy when building new energy sports cars.

But as Aobomu approached the Starry Sky exhibition area, he heard a completely unfamiliar term—"850V" voltage platform.

They immediately delivered a blow to his head!
"Is he referring to the voltage of the entire vehicle platform?"

Obermu was stunned: "This point wasn't mentioned in the research materials before I came here. Didn't you collect any information about this domestically produced supercar 800V beforehand?"

This is not right.

This is a car company that started by copying Porsche's design three years ago. Today, it has crossed over to the same exhibition platform, which has already surprised Obermü.

But why are they competing on the same stage?

Look at the frenzied expressions on the faces of those media outlets.

It felt like my feet were rooted to the ground!

If the Starry Sky mecha sports car reaches 850V, then the Mission E that Porsche lavishly presented to the media is inherently inferior.

"..."

Hong Sheng, a senior executive in the China region, was speechless.

I didn't know how to answer that question for a moment.

Because the two automakers are not competing in the same niche, he recently told senior executives at headquarters that range-extended vehicles were a trend and expressed his contempt for so-called domestic supercars.

This situation is really a bit frightening.

—

But Xingchen's ultimate move was not over.

—Raise your hand to summon.

—The tank turns around!

Each one of these is enough to give industry insiders a real shock!
This also caused Obermoum's expression to shift from doubt to shock!
Today, it felt like he was getting to know China's car manufacturing supply chain for the first time.

However, no one at the scene noticed the shocked expression on the face of the CEO of both Volkswagen and Porsche.

Their attention was all on the stage.

"My goodness, it was just like watching a press conference!"

"Wake up, buddy. The press conference isn't that short. Xingchen Auto's actual vehicle launch event will last at least an hour and a half. This is only eight minutes."

"Huh? Only eight minutes...?"

"Looking at this car, my brain feels like it's been bombarded with the beauty of cutting-edge technology!"

Someone was wiping sweat at the scene.

These eight minutes were truly full of ups and downs, with frequent surprises.

In full view.

Xu Yi finally announced the end of the unveiling ceremony.

At this moment, his every move is attracting attention. Industry insiders are afraid that he might unleash some "big move" with his every move. Media personnel feel that there have been too many revelations this morning, and they can hardly distinguish which ones are the key points.

But the most pretentious scene of "turning around on the spot" is definitely the first thing presented to the public.

Some people lamented that the shooting angle was not good, and they were unable to perfectly use the camera to record it.

Immediately afterwards, they heard President Xu's "generous" words.

"The U9 booth will feature a light show, gesture-based summoning, and a U-turn every two hours on media and public days..."

We will also be drawing lucky audience members to experience our smartwatch car control function for free. Thank you all for coming to the opening ceremony.
