Pengyun Automobile Industrial Park, inside the park. Here, the new maglev smart lane is still under construction, and in many places, it has already taken shape.
"Mr. Lu!" In the maglev test base, employees greeted Lu Zixin one after another.
"Yeah." Lu Zixin nodded and asked Dongfang Hao at the front, "Where's the car?"
Dongfang Hao was wearing a crisp suit, with a straight figure and a height of about 1.8 meters. He stood out among a group of researchers, but no one could tell that he was actually a mechanical being.
"Wait!" Dongfang Hao closed his eyes and counted: "Three, two, one! MUSIC!"
On the maglev smart lane where Lu Zixin was walking, exciting music sounded from all directions. This is the role of micro-amplification equipment installed in all directions of the smart road. At the same time, there are lights of various colors flashing, and at this moment, the road seems to have turned into a concert venue!
"I'm, awake, I'm, alive."
"Nohat, I believe, inside."
"Now, it's, my, time..."
The BGM this time was quite normal. As the BGM sounded, the warehouse door in front of the road opened automatically.
A maglev car with a transparent body "flyed" out from the inside. Its body shell is made of special glass material and contains some miniature sensors and smart device components with rich functions.
Maglev cars are suspended on the induction road through magnetic fields, with almost negligible friction and extremely smooth.
On its chassis, there are actually specially designed tires to facilitate driving on roads without magnetic levitation induction.
Inside the car body, because the driverless system eliminates the need for a traditional cockpit, the space inside the car is much larger than that of ordinary cars. It can hold a comfortable sofa or even be rolled out into a fold-out bed.
In addition, the entire maglev car itself is a large-scale smart mobile device. While driving, wireless signals connect the maglev car to smart roads and data centers. Passengers can use the maglev car as a mobile cinema, mobile game arcade, mobile hotel, etc., whatever makes them comfortable.
After the maglev car is connected to the smart road, it will not only be able to drive autonomously, but also the speed will reach astonishing levels. Through the regulation and safety control of the smart road, the probability of traffic accidents on such roads will be minimized.
According to the assumptions of the researchers, if such maglev roads and cars are popularized, the relevant traffic regulations will definitely be regulated. The driving speed of maglev smart roads may be comparable to that of high-speed rail.
The maglev car slowly stopped in front of Lu Zixin. The image of a beautiful female flight attendant was projected on the car body. She smiled at Lu Zixin and said, "Mr. Lu, welcome to ride the 'M-001' Pengyun Maglev Car."
The door opened automatically, and Lu Zixin got into the car to experience it. Also riding with him were Tang Gang and Roy Rupert, a vice president of Red Letter Capital.
Tang Gang's current position is the president and strategic investment officer of the Red Letter Group, while Roy Rupert is a bearded American and a well-known figure in the financial world. He was recruited by the Red Letter Group. The two of them have always insisted on Lu Zixin's They were confused about maglev cars and smart roads, so this time Lu Zixin took them to experience it for themselves.
Just before the maglev car appeared, the two of them were already amazed.
"It's really suspended!" Roy Rupert exclaimed, "This smooth feeling is more comfortable than riding in a Lincoln."
"How did the maglev car come out so fast?" Tang Gang couldn't hide his surprise and said, "I thought it would take at least a year or two before the first day of testing the car."
"This sense of technology and this design are so beautiful!" He tried to use the functions inside the car. When he turned on the virtual projection, the whole car seemed to have entered a time and space tunnel and entered a different dimension.
During this period, the car body will not shake at all, and the water level in the water glass on the table in the car is as stable as ever.
In the car, the virtual flight attendant introduced them to the various functions of the maglev car. This smart maglev road has not yet been completed. It is only half the distance, but it is enough for them to experience it.
Within three minutes, the virtual flight attendant announced: "Dear passengers, we have reached our destination."
"So fast!" Tang Gang looked at his watch, his eyes widened, and said, "Three minutes! It took us at least a quarter of an hour to drive from here to the base, right?"
"More than that, 23 minutes to be precise." Lu Zixin looked at his smart glasses and said.
"The 23-minute journey took only 3 minutes to get there! And because the journey is too short, it takes time to start and stop..." Tang Gang continued to think, "If it is a long distance, it is really comparable to a maglev train! "
"The speed is not as fast as the high-speed train, but it is still several times faster than normal high-speed driving!" Lu Zixin also smiled, "Now, do you still think there is a problem with the investment in this project?"
"Great! This is simply a genius investment!" Roy Rupert said excitedly, "I seem to see such maglev cars driving on the roads of California, and maglev roads being built on European soil... The entire world’s transportation system will be changed because of it!”
"It is precisely because of this that I want to vigorously promote the maglev project and the research and development of working machines." Lu Zixin said, "Think about it, if we launch a maglev car, but the key components are controlled by other giants."
"Then our maglev cars will probably be like the mobile phone and computer industries a few years ago, working hard to help others make money."
"I understand!" Roy Rupert was one of the senior executives who didn't understand why Lu Zixin invested in the research and development of the work machine. There were too many profitable projects within the Hongxin Group.
From a capitalist's perspective, spending large sums of money on an uncertain and extremely difficult project is not a wise choice.
But after seeing such a convenient and fast maglev car, Roy Rupert's mind completely changed. He has already understood the cost of maglev cars before, which is not much more expensive than ordinary cars.
If key components can be produced independently, the cost will be even lower.
Maglev cars are not only a new mode of transportation, but also a new intelligent terminal. Its potential market is unimaginable! A project like this is worth investing no matter how much you invest.
They took the bus back to the previous location, where the R&D staff were waiting for them.
"Mr. Lu, how are you?" Jiang Xunmei looked at him expectantly, hoping to wait for his confirmation.
"Okay!" Lu Zixin only said one word, and everyone present beamed with joy.
"This is the best car I have ever experienced. It also has a lumbar disc. Why do you guys stand out so much?" Tang Gang made a joke, and everyone laughed.
