Chapter 35

After giving up the tasks and rewards given by the system, Liang Shicheng successfully produced a usable library file. Next, it needs to be tested with real guns.

As early as a few months ago, Liang Shicheng bought an abandoned parking lot. After a little renovation, he used it as his own experimental site, bought several cars, transformed them, and installed a rotating high-definition camera to simulate the driver's eyes.

Driven by gears and large stepping motors, the car's steering wheel, brake and accelerator can be controlled by a circuit control board.

The control program and library files are all in place, and the supporting tools and software are also developed. Just brush the program for the circuit board, and several ordinary cars have become driverless cars.

A long reliability experiment was started in this open space. The arbitrarily modified car can't go on the road, let alone he doesn't even have a car brand.

It can only drive in private territory. Therefore, it has specially selected an area where there is no one around. At the same time, it is also because it does not want local passers-by to be frightened by an empty car flaunting the stock market.

The new control panel is rich in content. Through a large screen, the owner can issue many commands, from reversing into the warehouse to reaching the designated destination.

As for avoiding obstacles and choosing the appropriate route, it is entirely up to the program to decide.

After completing the basic driving test questions, Liang Shicheng ordered these modified cars to run day and night in the open space at will. From time to time, he would invite a real driver to drive the car to create trouble for them, but after a few weeks, no friction happened.

The experimental results are very satisfactory. At least there are no problems in image recognition and emergency avoidance. The rest is to add the map function, but this is not a problem.

Looking at these modified cars, Liang Shicheng knew that he had the technical qualification to enter the field of driverless cars.

However, this is obviously not a qualified product. Driverless is always bound to the concept of electric vehicle.

The mechanical transmission mode of traditional automobile is cumbersome for unmanned driving. In order to make it more convenient for the computer to directly control the automobile, it is the best way to replace the engine oil tank with four motors controlled by the circuit next to the tire.

So Liang Shicheng made early preparations to enter the driverless electric vehicle market. Up to now, 300 million US dollars has not been spent much, but it is a drop in the bucket to enter this field.

According to inquiries, it is common to spend hundreds of billions of RMB in the field of electric vehicles. It is a difficult problem how to take this little money in your hand and expand it.

The electric vehicle market is not something that ordinary people can enter if they want to. Although the state has vigorously supported it and given many preferential policies, and even has direct cash subsidies for each vehicle sold, there are also strict requirements for the qualifications of enterprises who want to enter the industry.

First of all, you can't say that you have technology and money. You must first have a traditional car brand and company. You can't directly apply for a new company.

Therefore, any enterprise that wants to enter this field must at least own or acquire a traditional car enterprise.

Liang Shicheng inquired about the market for a while and found no company planning to sell his business. In this way, he can only directly buy an entire enterprise engaged in electric vehicles, and can also save the research and production of some core technologies of electric vehicles.

In this way, the situation becomes even worse. The reality is that because the concept of electric vehicle is very popular and has penetrated into the hearts of investors, many inexperienced network companies have set foot in this industry and bought all the traditional car companies that were already losing money and going bankrupt.

It is strange that these electric vehicle companies controlled by network enterprises do not earn a penny or even sell a few vehicles compared with traditional car enterprises. On the contrary, their market value is frighteningly high, much higher than those traditional cars with stable sales.

Electric vehicles seem to have been boasted that for the next outlet, not only traditional car companies are frantically throwing money regardless of cost, but also major capitals are eyeing it.

The stocks of enterprises related to electric vehicles perform very well, and the name of electric vehicles is also very popular, but the problem is that there are few electric vehicles on the road.

After some friends in the industry inquired, Liang Shicheng roughly understood this situation.

The domestic electric vehicle market is a potential bubble, ready to burst, but only a few companies can survive successfully, leading Tesla.

At present, the biggest problem in the field of electric vehicles is that things are expensive. Once the price is close to one million, an important purpose of buying a car is face. In this case, the advantages of traditional automobile brands are still obvious.

And since we can spend so much money on luxury cars, we won't be attracted by the fuel-saving of electric vehicles.

At present, there are several defects of electric vehicles that can not be avoided for the time being.

A short voyage. Specifically, there is no problem running in the city. If you want to go out of the province, it will be a little troublesome.

Therefore, it is not suitable for travel, only suitable for contemporary walking tools.

Second, the charging is slow, not only the voyage is short, but in such a short voyage, it takes more than 5 hours to recharge after using optoelectronics,

This time can only be charged during the day and at night.

For traditional cars, the big deal is that they fill up after running out of oil in a few minutes, which makes the actual continuous range of traditional cars even more explosive for electric cars.

There are few places to charge. Not only can't you see it in small cities, but it's also a rare thing in big cities. You have to be careful when driving this kind of car on the street. Don't run out of electricity.

In a word, electric cars can hardly go far.

Because of this, but all car owners with sufficient budget will choose traditional cars. Therefore, electric vehicles must take the low-cost route in the short term. Only when they are popularized to some users can they consider the next step.

However, at present, many domestic car enterprises are busy cheating subsidies. The products not only have poor performance, but also the price is not low.

To make matters worse, relying on its scale and technical reserves, Tesla plans to enter the market of less than 300000 electric vehicles with automatic driving function.

If you want to survive, you have to launch cars with highlights and some advantages over Tesla at this price.

While getting these information, Liang Shicheng also learned about the loss state of domestic electric vehicle enterprises. Among them, the leading giants lost 30 billion RMB in just two years, while Tesla lost this number in 15 years.

Of course, he doesn't want to take the idea of this company. After all, it's a skill to lose so much.

Finally, among many car companies, Liang Shicheng found a company with the smallest scale, but also lost a lot.

Through the invitation, the suit came straight to the company to negotiate the acquisition. According to the information Liang Shicheng heard, the company's current technical reserves are not enough. The current price of their ex factory electric vehicles is maintained at about 600000, but there is no advantage to compete with Tesla's 300000 cars. Of course, the sales volume is also very poor.

In this way, the company will eventually be eliminated, but this is also Liang Shicheng's only choice at present. He is ready to be the successor.

But when he said that the highest price he could offer was $250 million paid in two batches, he was politely rejected by the other party and preached,

"If we want to stand in this field, it must be at least 30 billion RMB. Although our business is temporarily frustrated, at least it is an old brand that has been deeply cultivated in this field for more than ten years. There are many people who want to take over. No matter how, there must be 20 billion!"

Liang Shicheng was a little disappointed after getting a snub. I'm afraid only boss Jia won't dislike his money at the moment.

"Yes, people have spent hundreds of billions of RMB. Although I haven't heard of its electric car, it's too delusional for me to want to enter this industry with this money."

However, his ambition will not shrink and retreat because of the resistance of reality.

Finally, after some consideration, Liang Shicheng gritted his teeth and took out a lot of money to successfully acquire an electric tractor factory.
