I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

Before being transported out of the assembly building, Xinyuan engineers once again opened the cargo bay on the back of Progress to check the fixation of XC4 and the installation position of the camera... and its driver: an empty spacesuit model.

Xin'an XC4 has two motors at the front and rear. The front motor outputs 216 kilowatts and the rear motor outputs 437 kilowatts. The total output power is 653 kilowatts, 870 horsepower, and the maximum output torque is 1120N·M;

Accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers in 2.96 seconds, has a top speed of 290km/h, and a maximum cruising range of 510KM (only the front motor is in power-saving mode and can recycle kinetic energy);

Adopting Xin'an's first-generation BMS battery management technology, the charging current at the exclusive express charging station is 300A. It can be charged to 40% in the first 15 minutes, 70% in 30 minutes, and fully charged in 55 minutes. The current of the universal charging pile can reach 36A, and it can be fully charged in 15 minutes in the first 60 minutes. % power; home charging piles depend on the charging configuration selected by the user;

Adapted to the XW151 intelligent driving system, it can realize multiple functions such as automatic parking, assisted driving, obstacle reminder, cruise control, voice human-computer interaction, etc., and the vehicle status can be managed through the Internet through smartphones;

The manufacturer provides a 5-year or 100,000-kilometer limited warranty for the vehicle.

The above are all based on the prospects and imagination of current technology.

To achieve these goals, Xin'an's engineers need to work hard in the eight months after the release, trying every means to maintain their hard-earned status, and build a reputation based on this.

Southern Motor also spent a lot of money to license some extremely valuable technologies and patents to Xinan Motors, while also maintaining a balance of equity with Xinyuan Motors.

As for Southern Motor's own CS105, it is still a traditional oil truck. Every once in a while, they have plans to hit the mid-to-high end. The original CS105 is one of them, but now they have taken it out and modified it to try it again. It is much faster to produce.

The first XC4 to hit the sky was actually an exquisite model. More than half of the shell was manually processed, and the chassis was a construction vehicle test chassis that was directly moved over, so you couldn't see it anyway.

But in terms of appearance, the engineers sent by Southern Motor to Xin'an still put in a lot of effort. The quality of the paint made Lin Ju feel a sense of mystery and nobility, and he felt that as long as domestic products are willing to invest, good results can still be achieved.

And somewhere in Qiongzhou, Chen Jun was adapting to the dark surroundings.

In order to maximize the effect of space, Xin'an Automobile's launch venue only has a studio, and the floor and surroundings are covered with screens, which will jointly simulate the real effect of space.

At that time, several panoramic cameras fixed on the XC4 will transmit the images back to these screens, giving people the feeling of being explained in space.

Chen Jun is still not used to the new publicity model, but as the CEO of Xin'an, he must appear and seize the opportunity firmly.

It was 10:30 a.m. on June 15, half an hour before launch.

Due to the gimmick of the car launch, the number of online viewers of this live broadcast alone exceeded one million. The number of on-site tourists was slightly less than last time, but it still exceeded 200,000.

Xinyuan has announced four launch plans for June and July, so it is conceivable that there will be a steady influx of tourists, and the Qiongzhou Tourism Bureau will usher in the peak period of business this year.

In order to build momentum for Xinan Automobile, the rocket body of the Xinyuan-2 Yao-2 rocket was painted with Xinan Automobile's promotional paint. Three days before launch, the surface of the Progress space shuttle was temporarily sprayed with paint that was not resistant to high temperatures, making it From a distance, it looks like a large XC4 standing upright.

The space agency is paralyzed by Xinyuan's desperate commercial operation show, and never imagined that commercial aerospace can still be like this.

Now even state-owned automobile manufacturers have come to the space agency to ask: As a brother unit, can we help shoot a car into space?

Space Agency: Get lost.

But to be honest, Xinan Automobile has set an example for other brands, and now they are wondering whether to send their own products into space.

They not only asked the space agency, but more importantly, Xinyuan Aerospace.

Lin Ju always said that he would take a look first, but he was silenced when he was the first one to come up.

It is an internationally renowned company with both money and market. It is willing to spend a lot of money to only send less than 10 grams of stuff and change the paint of the rocket, but Lin Ju sternly refused.

That company is Durex. They requested that the surface of the rocket be painted with the effect of a sleeve, and launched a special version of the sleeve with starry sky stickers. They have even planned in advance a model for the surface of the moon's crater, a cool model for Mars, a scorching model for Mercury, etc.

When he thought of the shape of a rocket and then painted something like that, Lin Ju felt bad all over. His eyes even looked abnormal when he looked at the rocket.

Business cooperation is fine, but can we do some normal business?

The sequelae of this intention caused Lin Ju to always think wrongly when he looked at the Xinyuan 2 Yaoyuan 2. When Guo Shen and the others came to ask, he told the transaction that was stopped in time, so the group's expressions when they looked at the rocket Everything becomes exciting.

People watching the live broadcast and in the launch control room were confused about the strange expression on Xinyuan's side, so they had no choice but to continue waiting for the launch.

"...3, 2, 1, ignite."

Seven methane engines spewed out flames one after another, and the Xinyuan-2 Yao-2 rocket rose all the way up against the Progress, once again leaving a deep impression on the audience.

In the additional ground control room of the aircraft, Xinyuan engineers constantly checked the data sent back by the dummy on the Progress. After all, the next manned flight was to be carried out, and they had to ensure that nothing went wrong.

You must know that due to structural limitations, the space shuttle cannot escape through the ejection seat like ordinary aircraft, and because the structure and process are more complex than traditional spacecraft, the reliability requirements are higher and stricter.

430 seconds later, the first-stage rocket separated, and the hydrogen-oxygen engine of the second-stage rocket started, continuing to push Progress toward low-Earth orbit.

After more than three hundred seconds, the second-stage rocket engine was shut down, and Progress used RCS jets all over its body to adjust its attitude and enter low-Earth orbit.

At the same time, the first stage of the Xinyuan-2 Yao-2 rocket was successfully recovered at Station 1 of the Xinyuan launch site.

Except for the fact that there were more space shuttles than the first time, the entire flight process was almost exactly the same. People watching the second time even thought that time travel had occurred.

At an altitude of 320km, 10 minutes after the complete machine self-inspection of the Progress, the opposite opening and closing cargo compartment on the back opened, and the connection mechanism with the XC4 was unlocked.

In the Xin'an Automobile Conference Studio, Chen Jun had already given the opening introduction. Following the background instructions in the headset, he pressed the remote control on the screen behind him.

In the dark simulated space background, the actual footage from the camera on the XC4 slowly unfolded.

A white line suddenly appeared from the top of the screen, then slowly expanded, and the light shone into the Progress's cargo bay, revealing the XC4's bright red hood and the interior layout of the cargo bay.

The small robotic arm folded on the side of the cargo bay of the Progress unfolded, grabbed the XC4's fixing mechanism in a place invisible to the screen, and slowly pulled it out.

In the picture of the XC4 camera, the scene in front of us gradually changed from the gray-white color of the cargo compartment to a bright blue glowing with white light.

The robotic arm continuously adjusts to find a suitable angle for the light, gently releases the holding claw, and retracts it into the cargo bay.

Progress slowly closed the cargo bay. At this time, the XC4 coupe was one of her companion stars. The camera in the porthole moved to capture it.

Using the RCS to adjust the direction slightly, Progress started the hydrogen-oxygen engine at its tail. With tens of thousands of newtons of thrust in space, only a little light blue could be seen inside the nozzle. Progress silently bid farewell to the vivid reality on the surface. The lifeless XC4 penetrates deep into the endless darkness of space like a firefly, turning into a dim star in the background of the universe.

At Xin'an's press conference, Chen Jun was floating in the dark space. The background was a real shot of the Earth and the XC4 sports car with its back to the Earth. The astronaut dummy inside was holding the steering wheel, and there were bright dots of light in the dark mask.
