"Road planning, what are your plans?" Lu Zixin asked.
Dongfang Hao said matter-of-factly: "Of course we will build maglev lanes, and they will be built across the country. As for how to build them, I don't care. I am only responsible for research and development."
He threw the problem back without any sense of responsibility, and Lu Zixin did not dare to let him take responsibility. Dongfang Hao has no idea about money. Apart from mechanical skills, he can't praise him for his talents in other areas.
If he were to be held responsible, he would probably resort to the simplest method of throwing money! Maglev lanes across the country cannot be completed with hundreds of millions, billions or even tens of billions. This may require hundreds of billions!
Lu Zixin thought about it and needed to think of another way to do this.
He said: "Send me the information on the maglev lane."
"OK!" Dongfang Hao immediately sent the information to Lu Zixin's smart glasses for him to check.
Maglev lanes are much less difficult to manufacture than maglev cars. You only need to lay a 1-2 cm induction plate on the road. This kind of induction plate can be laid on regular roads just like laying asphalt concrete.
From the perspective of manufacturing difficulty, it is much simpler than repairing maglev train tracks, and the cost is also much smaller. General urban roads can be modified and paved.
But Lu Zixin needs more than that. Maglev cars have to face a big problem, energy replenishment!
Maintaining the buoyancy of a maglev car requires a lot of energy, which will lead to poor endurance. So when laying the maglev track, he also wanted to add an electric system so that the track could generate an induced electric field.
When a maglev car drives on such a lane, it can wirelessly charge its induction battery. The result of this is that this kind of car no longer needs a power station and can be driven as long as it is on the road. It is more convenient and there is no need to consider the issue of battery life.
"In addition to these, it seems that intelligent multimedia can also be added... Thinking about it this way, there are many things." Lu Zixin recalled the suggestions made by engineers when building driverless cars.
Now that cars have become driverless, passengers can be liberated from the labor of driving, and cars have risen from transportation to mobile smart carriers.
Similarly, roads can also be made smart. Adding these together, road costs have risen again.

"We definitely can't build roads by ourselves. We need to cooperate with the urban construction department or road construction company." Su Zhirong suggested at home.
She was wearing a casual white T-shirt and a pair of loose shorts, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with her long legs and eating dried fruits.
"The investment is too big, I'm afraid not many companies are willing to do it." Lu Zixin shook his head and said, "They must see the dividends."
"Huh?" Su Zhirong turned her head, thought for a while, and said, "If we want them to take the initiative to invest in construction, we have to give up the profits. What benefits can we give away for the maglev road?"
"In-vehicle media!" Lu Zixin said first, "In-vehicle media service is a considerable profit point."
"The road construction company is probably not very interested in in-vehicle media services, right?" Su Zhirong said, "I think the wireless charging aspect can be left to them."
At present, most of the cars on the world's roads are fossil fuel vehicles, and there are relatively few electric vehicles. However, with the development of new energy vehicles, the car charging business is also gradually developing.
If the maglev road is built and wireless charging can be achieved, there will definitely be charges for this business. If there are enough maglev cars, this is a business with great potential.
"This is a good proposal. The charging station business is very profitable. Not to mention private companies, state-owned enterprises and urban construction departments are probably also interested." Lu Zixin nodded.
How much money can China Petroleum and China Petrochemical make in a year? Those are all extremely wealthy state-owned enterprises. If new energy vehicles replace fossil energy vehicles in the future, the car charging business can also become a big investment.
"The most important thing is to provide evidence to convince these companies and government departments. In the future, our maglev vehicles and new energy vehicles can become popular means of transportation on the road!" Su Zhirong concluded, "As long as we prove it to them Look, when the time comes, we don’t need to propose building maglev roads ourselves, they will rush to build them themselves.”
"Well, yes, yes. Since this project is so difficult, let them build it." Lu Zixin also wanted to understand that relying solely on the power of Hongxin Group to complete such a large infrastructure project is simply overestimating one's capabilities and wasting money. , I don’t know how much money there is, and how long will it take to rebuild roads across the country
But it would be much simpler if cities across the country took the initiative to transform themselves. As for the added value generated by the maglev road, leave it to them. Pengyun Automobile has mastered the core technologies of magnetic levitation vehicles and intelligence, but is it afraid that it will not make money
"Little Su Su, you are really my virtuous wife." Lu Zixin leaned over and kissed Su Zhirong's pretty face.
"You've made a lot of money!" Su Zhirong pretended to be arrogant and said.
"Yes, the company has troubled you with so many things, are you busy enough?" Lu Zixin asked.
"You have to be busy even if you are too busy!" When she mentioned this, a look of exhaustion appeared on Su Zhirong's face, and she sighed: "Our group is developing too fast. The faster we develop, the more problems we face. Moreover, But every time it’s a big thing that I have to deal with, it’s tiring.”
"I'll give you a massage." Lu Zixin picked her up, laid her sideways on the sofa, and gently squeezed her shoulders and tapped her back.
"Fortunately, with Hong Xiaoxiao, intelligence can now solve many problems." Su Zhirong said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to take a day off."
"Yes." Lu Zixin nodded and said, "I will study it later and let Hong Xiaoxiao learn about company management. In the future, we will also upgrade the company's management to intelligent management."
"We only make big decisions and let artificial intelligence operate some small links. In addition, the Hongxin subsidiary, which is already operating independently, only needs to follow the general direction of the head office, so you don't have to worry too much."
…
Pengyun Automobile's maglev car has overcome some difficulties and entered a stage of rapid research and development. In order to build momentum for maglev vehicles and attract some companies to be interested in maglev smart roads, Pengyun Automobile plans to release some news first to warm up the market.
At a recent large-scale auto show in a certain city, Pengyun Automobile showed a virtual projection of the concept of a maglev car, indicating that it is developing a maglev car of this concept and hopes to build a new intelligent maglev road to match the maglev car. usage of.
