Chapter 235: Instantaneous Braking at 200kmh
Chapter 235: Instantaneous Braking at 200kmh
"Damn it." Shen Fei only said one word.
"clear."
After hanging up the phone, he felt a sense of anticipation. 28 nanometers, quad-core, 28000 points.
If a 14nm process were to achieve an eight-core design, what would the score be?
He knew the specific performance of the chip in his previous life; it would be incredibly powerful. When this chip was finally implemented, the global semiconductor industry landscape would be rewritten once again.
…………
Shenfei then spent his time moving between various subsidiaries, but he still valued Transsion Motors the most, especially since Geely had already made its move.
New energy vehicles equipped with Yingli Solar's technology have been launched ahead of schedule, but the market response has been very poor... Most consumers are not buying into it.
March 15th, Guangzhou, Transsion Motors' final assembly workshop.
This production line is production line number 2, which was completed last August and took a full four months to debug.
The equipment was shipped from Germany, Japan, China, and other places, and the installation alone took two months.
Today, this production line has truly been running smoothly for the first time.
At the end of the workshop, a car covered with a silver car cover sat quietly at the end of the final assembly line.
The car body has smooth lines, and the outline under the car cover resembles a cheetah ready to pounce.
"Boss, it's ready."
Zhang Bin, the head of manufacturing at Transsion, came over as if he wanted to take credit.
Shenfei stood in front of the observation window on the second floor of the workshop, next to Wang Mengyang, the head of the battery department, and Chen Jianping, the head of the chassis department.
The group of people looked at the car downstairs, each with a different expression.
Zhang Bin, 45 years old, had worked at GAC Group for 20 years. As a senior executive, he had no need to worry about a mid-life crisis, but he chose to resign.
Everyone thought he was crazy for giving up a stable job at GAC to go to a company that hadn't even built a single car yet.
After all, Transsion is not like Geely, which makes empty promises to its employees all day long. Although Transsion's benefits are not as good as Geely's, they are still better than Geely's.
"Zhang Bin, are you nervous?"
Shen Fei looked at his smug expression and asked with a smile.
"Nervous," Zhang Bin said honestly, the boastful look on his face vanishing in an instant. "I've worked there for 20 years, produced hundreds of thousands of cars, and I've never been nervous."
This car is different today.
"What's different?"
"The cars owned by GAC belong to other companies. This car belongs to us."
Shen Fei laughed. As expected of a seasoned veteran in state-owned enterprises, he speaks with such tact and diplomacy.
Of course, everyone likes this style.
"Then let it come down?"
Zhang Bin nodded and picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Assembly line, start."
Downstairs, the conveyor belt started up.
The silver car was pushed forward, passing through the last inspection station...
Of course, this is just a symbolic work; the actual testing has already been completed.
Two banners were also hung next to the testing line: "Transsion Motors is born to change."
"The first mass-production prototype was produced on March 15, 2012."
The banner was signed by all employees of Transsion Motors.
As the car drew closer, everyone could see what it looked like.
The car body is painted in silver-gray, giving it a cold sheen under the lights. The front is closed, without the traditional air intake grille of a gasoline car. Instead, there is a continuous LED light strip with the Transsion logo in the middle.
The car's side profile features clean and smooth lines, hidden door handles, and a drag coefficient of only 0.23.
The rear of the car also features a continuous taillight design, echoing the front.
This is a pure electric car.
Codenamed EP1, internally known as the Trailblazers.
The car stopped at the end of the assembly line. Zhang Bin walked over to sign the papers and then directly peeled off the car cover.
"Boss, it's done."
Zhang Bin rushed off again.
Chen Wei came down from the second floor, stood next to the car, and reached out to touch the hood—no, it should be the front trunk lid.
The solder joints are very smooth, and the paint surface is very glossy.
Every detail tells him that this car, which netizens call a "PPT car," is not a concept car, but a real car that can be driven on the road.
"key."
Zhang Bin handed him a key.
Zhang Bin pressed the unlock button, the hidden door handle popped out, and the rearview mirror automatically unfolded.
He opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.
The interior features a black and gray color scheme, which is simple yet sophisticated.
The steering wheel is a two-spoke design with commonly used control buttons integrated on it, and the center console features a large 15-inch screen positioned horizontally in the middle of the dashboard.
If they weren't screen manufacturers, they would never be so generous.
After all, the cost of customizing just one screen outside would be over 7000 yuan, and the cost of manufacturing it yourself is 3000 yuan for a large OLED screen.
Below is a wireless charging pad and a storage compartment.
The seats are made of Nappa leather, which is very comfortable and provides excellent support.
Of course, Transsion also offers a genuine leather option, allowing consumers to choose according to their own needs.
It only requires adding a tiny bit of "money".
"All of you, come up here."
Wang Mengyang got into the passenger seat, while Chen Jianping and Zhang Bin got into the back seat.
Shenfei pressed the start button, and the screen lit up, as did the instrument panel. The HUD in front of WeChat also lit up.
He shifted into drive and gently pressed the accelerator.
The car silently drove out of the workshop and onto the internal test track.
The test track is 2.3km long and includes straight sections, curves, slopes, and bumpy sections, simulating various road conditions.
Shen Fei floored the accelerator on the straight road, and the car shot forward.
The push-back sensation is extremely strong, like being kicked hard from behind.
Shen Fei pressed his body tightly against the seat, and the scenery outside the window rushed past.
The speedometer numbers jumped wildly: 100, 120, 150, 180, 200.
200km/h
The interior remained quiet; there was wind noise, but it wasn't harsh. There was also tire noise, but it was within a manageable range.
The high-frequency sound of the motor was mostly filtered out by the sound insulation material, leaving only a low hum.
"Boss, we're at 200, there's a bend ahead," Zhang Bin reminded from the back seat.
Zhang Bin picked up a pen and wrote down the feedback in the small notebook next to him.
Although we have done this kind of test before, it was from the perspective of a "passerby".
Shen Fei released the accelerator, and the car began to slow down. He gently applied the brakes, and the braking force was even and linear, causing the car speed to decrease steadily.
The braking distance from 200 to 0 is approximately 36 meters, which is slightly shorter than that of a gasoline-powered car in the same class, but still within the physical limits.
"The braking is good." Shen Fei nodded.
Chen Jianping explained from the back seat: "We've really gone all out in this area, using an integrated braking system that responds 0.2 seconds faster than traditional vacuum-assisted braking."
With the addition of kinetic energy recovery, the overall braking distance is indeed one or two meters shorter than that of comparable vehicles.
Shen Fei nodded and tried it a few more times, accelerating and automatically changing lanes.
The car performs very stably, with a solid chassis, precise steering, and a slightly firm suspension, but not excessively so.
The fact that the car body doesn't sway and the steering wheel doesn't vibrate when scanning QR codes indicates that the aerodynamics and chassis tuning are both in place.
Shen Fei suddenly started joking while driving.
"I suddenly remembered something. I heard a friend say that his car can go up to 200 km/h and stop instantly."
"Can we do this?"
