Losing Money to Be a Tycoon - Chapter 1471

Chapter 1471: Live-Stream Test!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Lin Yu announced that the live-stream would be tested, the live-stream became even more popular.

In any case, the words ‘live-stream test’ immediately filled the news conference with program effect.

Whether the live-stream test was successful or the live-stream test failed, it would definitely be filled with topics to talk about!

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Shenhua and the fans and haters of Stamford.

The big screen switched to the testing venue. First, it was the skin prick test and crash test at the battery development center of Stamford car.

They did three tests for the skin prick test: The Ternary lithium battery burned violently during the Needle Trial, and the surface temperature exceeded 500 degrees; the phosphate iron lithium battery was flameless during the Needle Trial, there was smoke, and the surface temperature was 200 to 400 degrees; the Blade battery was nameless fire, smokeless, and the surface temperature was 30 to 60 degrees!

It was followed by a crushing test. An entire blade battery was dismantled from a K1 model car on the spot. Then, the PDU battery box on the battery pack was removed. After that, it was placed on the side for data collection and testing. The 28 blade battery on the upper layer was removed. Only the 150 blade battery on the lower portion was retained, forming a flat surface.

After that, he would place this flat surface in a depression on the road and repeatedly crush it with a pure electric heavy card that contained a weight of 46 tons!

During the process of grinding, one could see a slight depression and recovery on the battery surface through the camera. However, after the pure battery card was driven away, the battery pack was still intact!

Of course, this intact appearance meant that it was not damaged. However, if one looked closely, the artificial intelligence on the top floor would still be slightly deformed.

However, this deformation had no effect on the performance of the battery. From the testing data, it could be seen that the battery’s monograted voltage, total pressure, insulator resistance, and battery temperature were consistent with before the test. There were almost no changes.

Immediately after that, the engineers at the scene installed this blade battery back onto the Extremist K1. After installing it, the car successfully drove away!

The test this time stunned the audience in the live-stream.

That was because he could not believe that the Blade battery could achieve such a level!

In fact, Lin Yu had already introduced the performance parameters of different batteries at the news conference. However, the response was relatively calm.

The main reason was that the other new energy car manufacturers were too good at bragging. All of them bragged about their own technology. The battery technology had also been through several “bragging competitions”. The audience did not feel good when they heard someone bragging about their battery technology.

Even if Stamford started out by relying on batteries, the audience did not believe it.

However, the audiences could not help but believe that the live testing had been direct!

In the past, the more worrying point of the new energy car was that the battery was not stable. Once there was a car accident and collision, it would be easy for it to catch fire.

Many small scooters would use inferior tripartite lithium batteries. There would often be a fire and it would burn out in just a few seconds. There would be major fire hazard. Even regular batteries would burn themselves after intense collision.

The damage might be relatively small if it was placed on the scooter. It would not be a problem if it was left open as long as it did not burn itself in the elevator. However, it was different for new energy cars. Once there was a collision, the car owner might be knocked out and would not be able to escape immediately. The rapid fire of the battery might directly give the car owner sparks and arrive in one go.

There were already many cases of electric cars burning themselves after clashing with each other overseas and creasing the car owner. There were fewer cases in China but it had also happened.

If the battery problem was not resolved, so what if the electric car’s collision test was done well? The car shell could withstand it and absorb energy, but wouldn’t it be useless if the battery burned?

However, after watching the skin prick and the crash test of the Blade battery, everyone had a very direct understanding of the safety of this battery.

Coupled with the safety reputation of the Stamford car that had always been good, the safety of this extreme wind K1 was quite trustworthy.

The direction of the bullet screen comments had changed.

“Impressive. The Blade battery is simply crushing compared to the Triple Lithium battery! The improvement in safety is more important than anything. It doesn’t matter if you run tens of kilometers more. It’s important to be able to survive at critical moments!”

“Stamford’s technology is indeed too strong. There’s nothing to criticize about this. If the brand had not pulled hard, the price would not have been so low.”

“However, the real test has only begun now. The test for the Blade battery must have been done many times. The conditions for each test are basically the same. It can ensure that there are no problems, so the live-stream did not fail. However, automatic driving is different. The road conditions for each test are different. What if the smart car system suddenly has a program problem and is stuck? That’s hard to say.”

“They might send some people in advance to evacuate the cars and passers-by on the road, right? Isn’t it too confident to insist on testing the top lane? It would be alright if it was recorded, but there’s no way to salvage the situation if the live-stream failed!”

After the Blade battery test was successful, the audience’s worries shifted to Shenhua’s automatic driving technology.

Lin Yu was not like other manufacturers, who would brag about it for five minutes before entering the next test. Instead, she entered the testing stage of automatic driving technology.

“In order for everyone to see the effect of the automatic driving technology more clearly and directly, we will turn off the hint of the voice assistant during the test. Of course, if everyone becomes the car owner of the Extremist K1 in the future, I strongly suggest that everyone try AEEIS’s artificial intelligence voice package. It will definitely give everyone a different surprise.”

Lin Yu’s words made the bullet screen comments burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, thank you. I’ve already experienced it! I don’t have to destroy the keyboard anymore. It’s a good thing I didn’t buy a car. Otherwise, the losses would be huge!”

“Nonsense. I’ve been playing K1 for a long time in the game. Now, my heart is set. I won’t be angry anymore.”

The automatic driving test officially began as the bullet screen comments joked around.

This live-stream had three different cameras. One was placed in the back of the car, directly filming the steering wheel, the middle screen, and the road in front of it. The other was a drone, floating in the upper room of the car. It was a little like a holographic image, taking photos of the car body and the road surface. The last was arranged at the side of the road in some complicated road sections, filming from the perspective of a bystander.

Soon, the tester drove to the testing road and switched on the automatic driving.

The audience immediately realized that the situation with this automatic driving was exactly the same as in the game!

There were two main differences: First, the mid-screen control size in reality was slightly smaller than in the game. That was because the game was displayed with a monitor after all. The field of vision was small. In fact, reality should be similar to the actual view in the game. Second, there was no voice chat. It was pure driving.

That was understandable. After all, everyone’s attention would be on AEEIS once AEEIS was released. They would not pay attention to the performance of the automatic driving. The supporting actor was too good at snatching scenes.

At first, it was just a very ordinary change line, change lane, follow car, and so on. The safety officer did not say anything, the road conditions were not complicated, so there was nothing much to say. Other automatic driving technologies could basically do it.

However, the road conditions soon became complicated!

He first completed an unprotected left turn, causing the bullet screen comments to exclaim.

That was because the unprotected left turn was a relatively difficult point in the automatic driving. It meant that the automatic driving had to be able to recognize the traffic light, recognize the mares, passers-by, and avoid the direct cars. As long as one of these links made a mistake, it would cause the unprotected left turn to fail.

During the automatic driving process, as long as the car did not avoid the direct cars in the distance or did not successfully avoid passers-by, the safety officer had to interfere with the driving immediately. Then, the automatic driving would fail.

However, K1 was safe and smooth in the process of completing the unprotected left turn. Not only did it accurately recognize the traffic light at the intersection, but it also avoided direct cars and passers-by. It was always calm and smooth during the driving process, giving people a calm feeling.

However, before the bullet screen comments could show off, K1 arrived at a more complicated road.

The road itself was not very spacious. There was a row of cars and a large number of scooters by the side of the road. Many passers-by on bicycles and scooters or delivery men were walking back and forth among them. They might even ride to the motorway in the middle.

The cars opposite were also squeezed here. Sometimes, in order to avoid passers-by, they had no choice but to cross the center line and meet the other party’s cars in the very narrow road.

The bullet screen comments were shocked.

“High energy ahead!”

“F*ck, such a complicated road segment? Are you crazy? I feel my blood pressure when I drive myself, much less automatic driving!”

“You can even drive in such a road segment? And you can drive more steadily than me?”

“It’s completely at ease… The automatic driving reminded the driver to take over, but the driver ignored it. In the end, it really drove over!”

“D * mn, is that delivery guy crazy? He overtaken the car from the blind spot on the right side and plugged it in directly? If I had opened the car, I would have rolled down the window and scolded him!”

“Heh, he’s so flustered. One look and I can tell that he’s not from Fish-Catching Take-Out. The young men from Fish-Catching Take-Out are very calm.”

“It can even be recognized by ghosts. That’s awesome! What’s more, the big screen is indeed a real-time model. Cars, bicycles, and passers-by can be accurately distinguished. The more dangerous ones will be marked in red. It’s indeed clearer than people!”

“That’s right. Even if we don’t drive the automatic driving, as long as we occasionally glance at this mid-screen, it would be beneficial to the driving and better control the road situation!”

After crossing this complicated road segment, Extremist K1 drove onto a road with fewer cars, and its speed increased again.

The entire process was a complicated road situation in the city. For a long time, Extremist K1 hovered around 10KM / H’s speed. However, after the road conditions allowed it, the highest it could drive was 50KM / H.

This speed was already very fast compared to other automatic driving cars. That was because automatic driving had to ensure safety first. Other cars did not dare to drive so quickly.

It was still slower than humans but it had to be said that the automatic driving of the Extremist K1 was safer. There would not be any risk of it being snatched. What’s more, the acceleration and slow down were very smooth. There would not be a situation where someone suddenly stepped on the accelerator or stepped on the brake.

This would obviously be more comfortable for the passengers in the car.. They would not easily be dizzy.
