Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 151
Zhong Cheng said that he could not solve the external problems, but if there were any technical difficulties, he would see if there was a way to solve them.

Mr. Zhang and Minister Wan were very moved. They knew that Zhong Cheng had no obligation to help.

Now Zhong Cheng's status in Red Star Company is very high. Although they used to be Zhong Cheng's leader, their relationship is really not very good, so they are embarrassed to ask Zhong Cheng if they have any problems.

And they did have problems and wanted to ask Zhong Cheng for help.

According to Minister Wan, at present, electric cars of major domestic brands use the same power battery, so they have the same starting point in terms of core technology, and only work on the electric motor, appearance, interior and vehicle control system of the car.

After several years of development, the first-mover advantage of the Daily series cars has disappeared. Although sales are rising, the share of the electric car market has dropped from more than 70% at the peak to 40%.

Although there are problems in marketing methods, the main reason is that it has no advantage over other products in terms of product technology.

But now everyone is fighting hard on the car control system. Minister Wan hopes that Zhong Cheng can help them with the car control system.

Zhong Cheng feels that this kind of "involution" in the domestic auto industry is very boring and causes a lot of waste of national resources. This is the inevitable result of the market economy operating in a closed economic circle.

However, the current international environment has restricted the outward development of domestic car companies, and internal fighting has become inevitable.

Even so, Zhong Cheng agreed to Mr. Zhang and Minister Wan's request.

He designed the car control system of the Daily Car, and the autopilot system he developed last has already been used.

It was very advanced at the time, but it is very common now, and it has almost become the standard configuration of electric cars.

In fact, what Minister Wan meant was to let Zhong Cheng introduce the Fuxi optical brain and the Shihuang operating system into the car control system of the Daily Car.

While really not functionally necessary, it can be a very attractive gimmick.

Zhong Cheng thought about it, and felt that there was no difficulty, as long as Gui Bin and his apprentice Huang Xueshen were responsible.

Gui Bin, the master and apprentice, has participated in the upgrade and transformation of the Nuwa Industrial Mother Machine, and he is familiar with similar upgrades and transformations on the Chasing Car.

After Zhong Cheng discussed the implementation progress with Mr. Zhang and Minister Wan, Mr. Zhang took Zhong Cheng to visit the new factory building of the electric car company.

At this time, the electric car company had already used up the planned land for the daily project of the year, and circled thousands of acres of land to the north, also flattening several mountains.

The factory area is too big, people come and go almost by car, and traffic lights have to be set up when there are too many cars.

When Zhong Cheng and the others were waiting for the green light at the intersection, they saw Jingwei unmanned patrol planes flying over the factory area from time to time, freely and unimpeded.

He remembered the situation when he went to the capital after the next year. The traffic jam was unbelievable. The 16-lane main road was blocked by more than ten kilometers of cars. This could no longer be solved by building overpasses.

His heart moved, and with the current level of technology, it is not difficult at all to lift a 1-ton electric car of the Starry Series to a low altitude.

Wang Xing's research and development team can handle it even without his help, and the technology of the Jingwei drone can be used directly.

The cost will definitely be expensive, but due to the slow speed, light weight, and no weapon system, it is estimated to be less than 200 million. If it is mass-produced, the cost will drop even further.

(PS: The cost of industrial products is different from the retail price. The higher the technological content, the greater the gap and the greater the profit.)
There is no shortage of rich people in China now, and there must be a lot of sales.

Moreover, the technology of Zhurong Electric Push is exclusive to Red Star Company, and other companies have no ability to imitate it. Red Star Company has no competitors in this field.

Of course, it will be a big trouble to approve Zhu Rongdian to be used in the civilian field.

But Zhong Cheng believes that in a few years, at most ten years, there will be no issue of confidentiality in Zhurong's teletweeting.

It is necessary to prepare for the electric flying car in advance.

When Zhong Cheng talked about this idea, it really aroused the great interest of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wan.

They agreed that electric flying cars must be the future development direction of cars, and only electric flying cars can solve the problem of urban congestion.

At that time, there will be no license plate lottery and single-pair travel problems in those megacities.

However, the development of electric flying cars is not only a matter of confidentiality of Zhurong's electric push, but also a matter of upgrading urban traffic rules.

However, they will try their best to promote and make some related preparations. This is a huge market in the future.

Zhong Cheng didn't expect to come here casually today and find two projects with great development potential.

It's a pity that he doesn't have enough time, otherwise he can find more projects by wandering around. His current technical reserve has been able to realize many things that only existed in science fiction before.

However, limited by the general environment, some technologies cannot be promoted on a large scale.

Aside from technical secrecy and related legislative issues, the single problem of solving labor employment will block the application of many technologies.

The progress of industrial technology is ultimately reflected in the improvement of production efficiency. The emergence of a large number of automation equipment and unmanned factories will liberate a large number of laborers from the production and manufacturing sites.

The promotion and application of advanced automated office systems will also make a large number of office workers unemployed.

Industrial automation will inevitably further reduce the number of employees in agriculture and industry, and push a large amount of labor to the tertiary industry.

If not considered carefully, it will bring serious social problems.

As a "pioneer" in industrial development, Zhong Cheng had to consider these issues.

Humans are social animals and cannot do whatever they want, even in scientific research.

You can't think that your scientific research project is advanced, and it will definitely be promoted and applied.

Therefore, before deciding whether to develop a certain technology, these issues should be considered first, and then the technical feasibility should be considered.

Zhong Cheng spent more than half a year studying philosophy and felt that he had made great progress in thinking.

The thinking here refers to the understanding of the world. He learned that thinking about problems cannot be purely based on technology.

With his current ability, he should look at technical issues from a higher level, and everything has two sides, and he was too simple before.

This is a process of evolution from "smart" to "smart". Although he has just started, he has already found the right direction.

With his brain that has been strengthened by the system, he cannot simply position himself as a scientific researcher.

He should develop in the direction of a technology manager.

Using his ability to memorize extensive knowledge, insight into the details, and operational integration, he can discover other people's whimsical ideas, provide development direction for the scientific research team, and solve problems in the process.

This should be what President Deng and Director Qian expect of him!
