As soon as Ren Guofei finished speaking, Hua Ming immediately answered: "The reason why it can be as high as flat ground at high altitudes is due to the new rotor structure."
“Unlike ordinary helicopters and drones, the rotor of our Pterosaur flying car adopts a fully tilting rotor structure. This design allows the flying car to hover, take off and land like a helicopter in vertical take-off and landing mode, and also In high-speed cruise mode, it flies at high speed like a fixed-wing aircraft, taking into account the needs of flexibility and speed. ”
"Besides!"
Hua Ming took a breath and continued: "Jiuzhou Intelligent Ai Company has also specially designed an exclusive flight control system, which can monitor the flight environment and status in real time and accurately control the flight attitude and position."
"Once the rotor or body deviates, the control system will immediately correct it. This is why, CEO, you shake your body but cannot shake the hovering state."
"So that's it."
After Hua Ming's explanation, Chen Xing also understood the principle of the Pterosaur flying car being able to hover stably at high altitudes for a long time.
To put it more simply, when the Pterosaur flying car is in a hovering state, it will constantly adjust its body slightly.
For example, if Chen Xing shakes to the left, the flight control system will immediately give the same right tilt force. If he shakes to the right, it will give a left tilt force to offset the interference force in the car.
To do this requires not only extremely fast response, but also real-time monitoring.
This pterosaur flying car looks like it was developed by Northern Automotive Engineering, but in fact it brings together the core technologies of multiple companies.
“We have experienced hovering, are there any other highlights?”
Chen Xing asked.
Before Hua Ming could speak, Ren Guofei quickly replied: "Of course, our Pterosaur flying car adopts fully autonomous driving, which can minimize the probability of accidents."
"That's right."
Hua Ming responded quickly and explained: "Although we are equipped with a driving control room, in fact it is only used in emergencies or when you want to experience the fun of driving."
"The main driving method of the Pterosaur flying car does not require manpower, but uses unmanned driving technology. However, in order to realize it, two points need to be opened up first."
"Which two points?"
Chen Xing grabbed the key point and asked.
Hua Ming didn't show off, and pointed out the two points: "One is urban airspace control, and the other is navigation map."
"Let's talk about urban airspace control first. Flying cars cannot fly in a disorderly manner. They must be regulated. Otherwise, if there is an air crash, the chance of survival will be almost zero."
After hearing this, Chen Xing nodded in agreement.
Despite the propaganda of many airlines, airplanes are the safest means of transportation, with extremely low accident rates.
But if a plane crash really happens, the chance of survival is close to zero.
Don’t expect to be able to skydive either. Opening the cabin door while descending at high altitude will knock passengers off their feet.
This is a bit like a typhoon. It is very difficult to open the door. The moment it is opened, according to the narrow opening of the airplane, manpower cannot move forward against the wind. Moreover, there is a risk of hypothermia at an altitude of several thousand meters.
This is why some media say that airplanes are the safest means of transportation, but also the most dangerous means of transportation.
"Flying at low altitudes cannot be messy. If there is a rear-end collision or collision, it will be a disaster, and there is also a chance of injuring pedestrians or cars on the ground."
As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, Ren Guofei quickly added: "So we need to formulate a set of standards. According to what Chief Hua and I think, that is to use driverless technology, everyone abides by traffic rules, and the rate of man-made accidents will be It can be reduced to the lowest level, even zero!”
Why do car accidents happen every day?
No matter how good the roads are and how clear the safety signs are, why are there still car accidents?
The bottom line is this: everyone's driving thinking is different.
Some people want to obey traffic rules, some want to rush, some want to overtake, and some don't like others cutting into traffic.
Everyone has their own ideas about how it is impossible to avoid accidents.
Just like a curve, normal drivers will slow down to negotiate the curve, but the car behind may think that the car in front is too slow and want to overtake in the curve. As a result, a car comes from the opposite direction, and the accident occurs.
Is there any solution?
have!
That is the collective use of driverless cars!
It is obviously impossible to make all drivers obey traffic rules, but artificial intelligence can do it, and it is 100% achievable.
When all vehicles are connected to the Internet and driverless, the accident rate will become very, very low.
For example, in the example of "overtaking on a curve" just now, artificial intelligence will not do this. Even if it does, the intelligent driving system can still recognize the approaching car and will not be in a hurry to overtake.
"Then it looks like we still need to go to the General Administration of Transportation."
Chen Xing thought and said.
The rule-making party must not be a company. The competent authorities need to come forward and issue a set of management measures for flying cars.
Currently, the only company developing flying cars is Longxing Heavy Industry. If he wants to formulate a new set of transportation standards, Chen Xing must also go there.
"Yes." Ren Guofei nodded and continued: "This is why I called you here. It is better for you to take the initiative when discussing airspace traffic standards with the General Administration of Transport."
The current Longxing Group is already the economic pillar enterprise of Long Country.
As the actual controller of the group, Chen Xing has considerable influence across the country.
Moreover, Ren Guofei also knew that Chen Xing had signed "gambling agreements" with Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, Guangfu and Shencheng, and he was familiar with the people, so he couldn't go there by himself.
You must know that the pilot cities for this new technology will never be county towns or tier 18 cities. It can only be piloted in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
"Okay, then I'll go there."
Chen Xing nodded in response.
Just after he finished speaking, he asked again: "What about the navigation map? Don't Penguin and Baidu have corresponding technologies? Isn't it accurate enough?"
"Not enough."
Hua Ming nodded slightly, and then continued: "If you are driving a vehicle on the ground, these two are more than enough, but we are flying in the air and need a three-dimensional view of the city."
"That means we need to detect it, right?"
Chen Xing once again grasped the key point.
Many people may not know that the reason why map navigation software is accurate is because navigation companies continue to invest money in using detection vehicles to survey and map roads.
Take Amap and Baidu Maps, for example. Each year, they send hundreds of road detection vehicles to the streets and alleys of Longguo to ensure the accuracy of navigation.
In addition, it is also connected to traffic data and can know most road cameras and speed section information.
Among them, Amap also has national background, and it is involved in the navigation systems of police and military.
"Brother Chen, aren't you very familiar with the Dragon Science Academy? Ask if you can transfer the Beidou satellite to provide us with navigation technical support."
Ren Guofei made the point.
Chen Xing immediately understood. At first, he was thinking of paying for Amap, Baidu Maps, and Penguin Maps to build a three-dimensional city navigation model. Now that the Beidou satellite has come out, he has also realized it.
"Let me ask."
Chen Xing smiled.
He has lent so many people to the Northwest Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project. It is very reasonable to use the Beidou satellite now, right?
"Well, just come and see. We can't help you much."
Ren Guofei said with the same smile.
Although Kunpeng Company is also a technology leader, compared with Longxing Group, it seems a bit underweight.
Besides, Chen Xing is already familiar with the situation, so there is no need for him to step forward.
"Try to fly in a circle." After writing down the two problems to be solved, Chen Xing looked at Hua Ming and said.
"Then I'll try to fly around."
Because the hovering technology was so powerful, when they were talking, they didn't feel like they were in mid-air at all. It is completely different from a helicopter. As long as the windows are closed, only the sound of speech can be heard, and the rotors appear silent.
Hua Ming did not hesitate, lightly stepped on the power pedal, switched to forward and reverse mode, and then operated the steering wheel.
"As I said before, if you step on the left pedal and pull up, the car will raise the height. If you press down, it will lower the height. If you step on the right pedal and pull up, the car will fly forward. If you press down, the car will fly backward."< br>
"Just like this."
Hua Ming controlled and explained at the same time.
Chen Xing didn't dare to blink once and carefully checked how to drive.
"If we want to turn left, we only need to tilt the steering wheel to the left. Because of the gyroscope function, any of our operations can be sensed instantly."
"Then how to brake?"
Chen Xing asked curiously.
He found that the pterosaur flying car had no brakes and the steering wheel seemed to have no brake button, which puzzled him.
"Brother Chen, don't you understand? Our pterosaur flying car does not have brakes, or in other words, the reverse gear is the brake."
Ren Guofei joked with a smile.
"There are indeed no brakes." Hua Ming nodded to confirm, and continued: "If you want to brake, press the reverse gear of the steering wheel to achieve an emergency stop. It is very similar to the dead-speed flight of a bicycle. Just brake and pedal back."< br>
"So that's it."
Chen Xing is no stranger to dead-fly bicycles. After all, they are the most popular bicycles at the moment.
Because there are no "brakes", the streamlined design makes it very smooth and beautiful overall.
The design of pedaling forward to move forward and pedaling backward to brake made it popular in major campuses across the country almost overnight.
However, its emergence has also doubled the number of bicycle accidents.
Why is this happening?
Obviously the braking is just a different method.
In fact, anyone who has done design knows that some products must be "brainless", which means adding so-called fool-proof design.
Everyone thinks differently and has different IQs. The simplification you pursue is something that other people don’t adapt to.
Take plugs and screws, for example. At first, they had the same shape and were difficult to distinguish from each other in appearance, so they were often confused.
When the problem was reported to the designer, various plugs and screws with different functions were quietly born.
There are also pesticides and chemical sales items. Manufacturers will add odorants and vomiting agents to prevent people from accidentally ingesting them.
This is also the reason why pesticides smell so strongly when opened.
Another example is Nintendo's game cards. The manufacturer specially adds bitters to the metal surface to prevent accidental ingestion.
If you don't do this, you have no idea why someone would lick the game card.
For safety reasons, Chen Xing suggested: "It would be better to add an emergency stop button to avoid accidents."
"We will study it later."
Hua Ming wrote it down silently.
……
After flying for several laps, Chen Xing also wanted to have fun and asked Hua Ming to park the flying car on the ground and then swap places.
Hua Ming originally wanted to guide how to control, but Chen Xing didn't give him a chance.
Press the ascending pedal and pull the steering wheel, and the height of the flying car will rise accordingly. If both pedals are pressed at the same time, it can fly forward at high speed while rising.
Different from ground cars, driving a flying car is like flying a helicopter, which are two different pleasures.
Moreover, looking at the "short" buildings on the ground and the unobstructed view ahead, the visual impact made Chen Xing's adrenaline surge and he wanted to experience extreme speed.
However, his reason told him that the Pterosaur flying car has not yet been approved, and it may cause riots if it flies into the city or suburbs rashly.
Thinking of this, he tilted the steering wheel to the left, made a big turn in the air, and returned to the parking area of the Northern Automobile Factory. Then he landed smoothly and said with emotion: "Driving in the air and driving on the ground are really different experiences."
"Isn't it exciting?"
Ren Guofei asked with a smile.
The first time he drove a flying car, he had the same feeling as Chen Xing.
When driving on the ground, you can't go to the limit because the roads don't allow it, and there are cars and pedestrians from time to time.
But it's different in the air. You have an unobstructed view, allowing you to use it as you wish.
"Exciting, I can't imagine the adrenaline rush this car can give me at top speed."
Chen Xing nodded in response.
"Haha, I was the same at the time. I found it very exciting, but I still like the smart driving mode, which is safe and reliable."
Ren Guofei just finished speaking, glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late, let's eat first. I've specially reserved a table for you to enjoy the feast."
"Haha, okay."
Chen Xing was also a little hungry.
He got off the plane and went straight to the Northern Automobile Factory. Not to mention taking a break, he didn't even take a sip of water.
The group of people stepped out of the flying car and went straight to Fengtian's specialty restaurant.
Although Northeastern cuisine has been severely weakened due to force majeure factors, the taste is in line with the taste of most people.
If it's Hunan cuisine or Xicheng's local cuisine, you'll eat it without saying a word.
……
Arriving at the specialty restaurant, Chen Xing had not even had two bites before there was a knock on the private room door, followed by a familiar voice.
"Is Brother Chen inside?"
The magnetic, thick voice and the familiar timbre made Chen Xing immediately put down his chopsticks and walked towards the door of the box without wiping his mouth.
As soon as he opened the door, Song Weiguo's resolute and slightly dark face came into view.
"Chief Song, please come in quickly. I was thinking of visiting you later, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"I just learned that you arrived in Fengtian, so I just came here to take a look."
Song Weiguo walked into the box.
The guard was very sensible and closed the box door, giving enough privacy for conversation.
"Chief Song."
"Chief Song."
Ren Guofei and Hua Ming stood up quickly, and Zhao Siqiu, who also served as bodyguard, also said hello.
Song Weiguo nodded. Before he took his seat, he looked at Chen Xing and said insinuatingly: "Brother Chen always goes to the Sanbao Hall for no reason. This time he came to Fengtian City in person. I am afraid that our automobile technology has made new progress." (This chapter. End)
