Before the opening of the test match, the organizer will hold a grand reception as usual. Zhen Zhen and his party arrived late. After settling down the staff, she hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed to the reception. .

Last year, Tianfeng Technology, as the only Chinese car company that entered the finals, won the trophy of the best new company as a dark horse.The Lightning-S developed by her this year uses a more advanced kinetic energy system, which naturally attracts more attention from all parties.

Coupled with her background as a young female entrepreneur, she is in line with the general trend of the rise of women's independent consciousness today, and has also become the subject of many media invitations for interviews.

The reception was held in the banquet hall of a local old-fashioned five-star hotel. As soon as Zhen Zhen and his party stepped into the banquet hall, they received many attentions and gifts, especially the reporters who were invited to participate in the conference, and they flocked to her one after another.

Among them are the foreign reporters of the domestic media. A very beautiful female reporter in a dress and skirt didn't care about the small talk, so she asked first: "Mr. New model, how confident are you in it for this race?"

Zhen Zhen responded with a smile on her face: "...This time the autonomous driving system and power system are all newly developed versions. I am very confident in it and hope to do our best not to disappoint everyone. "

The female reporter nodded and added: "I heard that the reelection of the board of directors of Zhen's Group will be held at the end of the month. As a female entrepreneur who has attracted much attention in China, I wish you a successful succession in advance. Honor."

This was originally just a well-meaning blessing, but it suddenly attracted a cold snort from someone nearby.

"Tch, woman."

The person who spoke was a white man with a big beard. His tall and muscular body was wrapped in a luxurious handmade custom suit, and he wore several huge rings on his fingers. Seeing everyone looking in his direction, he shrugged haughtily: "I'm not disrespecting women, but with all due respect, racing...is still a man's sport after all."

He glanced at Zhen Zhen in the crowd again, and said with a smile: "What's more, the technical level of your Chinese is still far behind ours, and the Chinese only rely on spending money to start a business. Beautiful Miss, I am not targeting you, but if I were you, I would be wise to take this pile of toys away from the arena, so as not to lose face when the time comes."

His words were full of provocation, and the faces of several Chinese reporters and participants present showed obvious expressions of indignation. Someone recognized the man's identity and couldn't help whispering.

He is none other than Gary, the CEO of XA, the number one driverless car company in the United States. In the past ten years of technological competition, XA has firmly occupied the top position, and many cutting-edge technologies are developed by their laboratories. Proposed and applied for the first time, Gehry, as a leader, was born in a wealthy family, and he inevitably developed an arrogant character in the smooth development process.

Now his limelight is suppressed by a Chinese, especially a woman, whom he despises, which makes Gary very unhappy, and naturally he has less scruples in speaking.

After all, in this industry, Chinese car companies hardly have much say. In addition, LA is the headquarters of Gehry. An outsider like Tianfeng, who is alone and alone, is ridiculed, and there is a high probability that he can only silently accept this. Dumb loss.

Seeing that Zhen Zhen was silent at this time, the smile on Gary's face couldn't help but become more obvious.

"Ding--"

A crisp glass crash suddenly broke the silence.

The red wine glass in his hand was rippling, and Gary looked at the slim young woman in front of him. She walked in front of him at some point, holding the glass gracefully in one hand, touched his wine glass casually, and said calmly: "In I usually don't bother to pay attention to such things as verbal prestige."

Under the burning eyes in the room, the corners of Zhen Zhen's rosy lips raised slightly, and he said unhurriedly: "I'd rather see you directly on the field, maybe this can simply and effectively clear up your prejudiced brain Some."

"How dare you..." Seeing that the other party was not as submissive as expected, Gary couldn't help being stunned. Before he could speak again, Zhen Zhen had already drank the wine in the glass with his head up.

"Why don't I dare?" She responded with a clear and sweet voice, smiling, "As you said, I am rich and beautiful. It is not very good for a good woman like me to refute an arrogant man like you." Is it normal?"

This time, not only the female reporter, but also several guests from the contestants standing nearby laughed out loud.

Gary opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but found that he had no way to refute. Zhen Zhen lit his glass at him, and kindly reminded: "You haven't drunk your wine yet."

After saying this, she turned and walked away without looking back, leaving Gary alone.

"This is too handsome..." Seeing the young female entrepreneur leaving freely, the female reporter's eyes lit up and she praised in a low voice.

At this time, Zhen Zhen still maintained that indifferent expression, she handed the wine glass in her hand to Xiao Chen, and then let out a sigh of relief.

I don't know if this counts as an influence, but after staying with Lu Jiaren for a long time, she seems to have unknowingly even become like her in the style of swearing.

She has encountered such prejudiced scenes many times before, and most of the time she would choose to ignore them, or refute them in a more reasonable way. Never before has she used this kind of almost With an unreasonable but very reasonable attitude, he directly responded to the past.

"I really miss her..." She sighed silently from the bottom of her heart.

……

With this small episode at the reception, the atmosphere of the duel between XA and Tianfeng Technology was in full swing, from the media circle all the way to the test scene, attracting the attention of many people.

The schedule of the LA test competition is divided into two parts. The first part is the actual driving test of unmanned vehicles on simulated roads, which is mainly used to examine the vehicle's own driving system and behavior planning capabilities. The second part is the racing competition on the official track.

The participating vehicle of XA is a silver-gray racing car with a cool shape. It is named "Extreme Speedster". The simulation sets up various environments such as traffic lights, pedestrians, and road obstacles. The participating vehicles need to pass the entire track to complete the race.

The starter waved the flag, the XA engineer started the vehicle, and the silver-gray speedster drew a graceful arc and drove straight onto the simulated road.Then it seemed to enter a no-man's land, quickly avoiding the first obstacle, the trash can, and stopped firmly in front of the red light after driving hundreds of meters.

It drove extremely smoothly and smoothly all the way, except when it was approaching the finish line, the "speeder" stopped for half a second because of a balloon floating in mid-air, and then passed the finish line with zero mistakes, becoming the current simulated road The fastest car in the test.

When the bright red countdown number appeared on the big screen, the audience applauded enthusiastically. The young Chinese female reporter Xu Yang frowned and involuntarily glanced at a certain position under the stands.

Because of the good impression made at the reception and because she is also a woman, she came here today to cheer up Zhen Zhen, but after seeing XA's near-perfect performance, the female reporter couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, Xu Yang I heard from colleagues working in racing magazines that XA is the first to apply SLAM technology to the driving field. The feedback speed can be increased to a nearly synchronous level through algorithms, which can be said to be invincible in this field. The presence.

Can a new company from China really defeat the mighty XA?

There are not a few people who have such doubts. I wonder if the organizer heard this voice. The name of Tianfeng Technology Lightning-S began to sound on the radio. After hearing this voice, the crowd in the stands burst into a slight commotion.

Xu Yang turned his eyes to the bottom of the stands again, and following the sound of the broadcast, the slim figure appeared at the entrance of the track.

Because it was the game day, Zhen Zhen did not wear formal clothes as usual, but changed into a creamy white hooded sweater and jeans. The sweater was very loose, which made her look extra youthful. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail and hung behind her head , shaking slightly with her movements.

Cameras focused on this young oriental face.

Lightning-S, like its name, is a sharp and streamlined sports car. Under the sunlight, the wine red body presents a dazzling ripple-like halo. The car slowly drives onto the runway and stops in front of the time zone.

Following the instructions of the starter, Red Lightning slid out of the runway lightly and drove forward.

I don't know if it was his own illusion, but when he saw the track of this car, the first adjective that flashed in Xu Yang's mind was - silky smooth.Unlike the speedster with a roaring engine that opens and closes like a no-man's land, Lightning-S looks like a dolphin swimming in the water.

When avoiding obstacles, its predicted speed is almost the same as that of a speedster. Even when a retrograde obstacle car suddenly appeared on the road, Lightning-S did not apply sudden braking, but slowed down smoothly. Sliding away from it nimbly, parked on a safe section of the road to evade.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of several XA company engineers changed, and some immediately began to look through the information bulletin board released by the conference.

"LeGo..." Sitting next to Xu Yang is a young man dressed as a tech nerd, who is also holding an electronic screen in his hand, flipping through the content quickly, "She didn't use the open source algorithm of XA, but Re-created a set of [-]D algorithm system... Wow, what a genius!"

At the same time, the final results of Lightning-S were also displayed on the big screen. The results of this unmanned car, which was not favored by many people, on the first track, even competed with the current champion XA Speedster. a tie.

Gary, the boss of XA, was also standing under the stands. Seeing this, his face immediately became very ugly. Regardless of the cameras still following him, he threw the water bottle in his hand to the ground, and several assistants quickly stopped him. The reporter who wanted to step forward escorted his boss back to the break room.

Some spectators who came to support Zhen Zhen cheered softly. This is the first time that a Chinese car company has been able to draw with the established company XA. This kind of honor-like atmosphere infected the surroundings and made the scene full of joy.

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere in the outfield, Gary in the rest room was completely furious. He viciously used all the insulting words, scolded the engineers who were standing with their hands down, and smashed a lot of things to vent his anger.

"I spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year to raise you trash? You can't even beat a woman?" He slapped the table aggressively, "Why is her car able to do this, but you don't notice it at all?" ?”

The technical director who was the first to be reprimanded struggled to argue: "Since last year, Tianfeng no longer uses our open source algorithm. At that time, we applied for the research center to obtain their algorithm model..."

It's just that this matter was ignored lightly. XA, who was at the pinnacle of global technology, didn't expect that Tianfeng not only made a set of independent algorithms, but also rivaled them in the calculation speed of three-dimensional space.

"Stupid! Extremely stupid!" Gary didn't remember this incident, but even if he had actually read the application at the time, his attitude was probably the same as it is now. "It's okay to run a test track, but the race in the afternoon I want to see this woman kneel down and beg for mercy during the match!"

Several XA technicians looked at each other, and they all saw a little helplessness. A man wearing glasses suggested, "Maybe you can try to apply for that track. Their cars are light, and when cornering It will affect the speed, but the organizing committee..."

"No but..." Gary said viciously, "No matter what method you use, you must win this track for me. Is the organizing committee going to be crazy enough to favor a Chinese?"

The author has something to say:

Technical reference: Waymo is the main company, and the plot requires a lot of artistic processing.

It’s the weekend again, the fat chapter is being written (crossed out)~mua~
