Monster Factory

Chapter 691: The meeting of the big 3 giants.

"I'm here to tell you why network latency is so critical."

"The signal is invisible, but it still has to follow the laws of physics and cannot teleport from nowhere. Supposing point A is in the capital, and point B is in the city of Shanghai. The distance between the two points A and B is eight hundred kilometers, the time it takes for the electromagnetic wave signal to go back and forth is 0.008 seconds, and the response speed of normal people is 0.2-0.4 seconds, the signal propagation speed is much faster than the human neural response, the signal does not reach point B directly. It needs to be transmitted to the base station at point A and then transmitted from the base station at point A to the base station at point B. It also takes time to transmit files according to its size and rate, just like when we click the video, there will always be a little waiting time, which is the delay. If there is a delay, there may be a failure in the operating instructions for remote driving, and the instructions cannot keep up with changes in the user's current environment."

"Thanks to popular science upstairs, I told you that, I also think remote driving is not feasible, what if the base station is disrupted for a minute or two?"

"But the remote driving feature is really great. If it works, can't we people who can't drive, go anywhere we want?"

"If it's really developed, then I can drive and drink with confidence in the future."

Rest assured upstairs, don't even think about that wish in ten years.

"I say you don't care about the traffic fee when you own it. For long-distance driving, you need to send the image to the operation center through the Shi Lei car's panoramic camera. Don't take the car for a few hours. When you're done, you have to take the car to the cell phone company."

"It's stupid, 4G traffic. I watch videos every day and don't see the phone bill breaking four figures."

"Let's go. The Department of Transportation will not approve the release of this feature. These guys don't want to be meritorious, but they don't want to be wrong. This kind of controversial project, at first sight, must be unique."

"They said in the comments of this article so many things, and it all made sense," Ye Qing, who carefully read this article and netizens replied under the article, felt that this article was quite relevant and said gave an unbiased opinion and analyzed in detail the most difficult technical faults of remote driving. Especially this sentence, the transportation department does not seek merit but seeks fault, and it must be one-size-fits-all, and will not approve the launch of this kind of project.

But the questions they might think about, the technical team led by Ye Qing and Tianjin, of course, have already thought about it as well.

But...

The first time the Huge Industrial Monster submitted the remote driving project details to China's transportation department for review, it received a disapproval response in just two days. As for the reason for denial, they believed that in the existing model, remote driving has some security risks, unless the Huge Industrial Monster can prove that in this mode, its network connection time is less than 15 milliseconds and give a reliable response plan after accidental disconnection and ensure the safety of unlicensed drivers and drunk drivers unable to operate the vehicle, and after the Huge Industrial Monster meets these requirements the relevant departments may sue project review.

Fortunately, Ye Qing was mentally prepared for this. The remote driving function of the Shi Lei car goes too far. Because once approved, people without a driver's license can ride alone and even drunk drivers can ride. This only upsets everyone's perception of road safety and if this safety is not strictly observed, it can lead to violent condemnation of the project by the public.

It's not bad the transport department can review this project, if this program was presented by a foreign company, you can make sure that it will not be undervalued. Even if this program is to be presented by another company, Ye Qing will not give up. Of course, he was convinced that he would finally receive approval because Huge Industrial Monster has a trump card.

......

Hours have passed since the Huge Industrial Monster is updated to the new version of the Shi Lei car, and the remote driving news is also causing more and more discussion on the Internet. Some people have blamed the Huge Industrial Monster for starting to buzz about the concept, and it's impossible to wait 20 years for this project to come to fruition. There were also people who strongly this project, hoping that the sooner it can be done the better because it's great news for those who can't drive.

When the peregrine falcon flew over the African continent, crossed the Indian Ocean, and finally reached the skies over China. The news that the Huge Industrial Monster is going to engage in remote driving has also spread across the Pacific and Atlantic oceans to European and American countries.

Now the Huge Industrial Monster has entered the eyes of more and more European and American Internet users.

In the front there was the Magic Crystal mobile phone and the giant ship which heroically rescued people on the ocean, then there was the super-cute smart assistant who can soften people's hearts. Unknowingly, European and American countries discovered that a world-class industrial technology company had emerged in the Far East. Each of Huge Industrial Monster's products could strike people's hearts like lightning. However, this company seems to have a grudge against Europe and the United States, where it likes to hide its products and does not want to share them with foreign customers.

This time they are going to launch the remote driving feature?

When various science and technology magazines published articles about this function, they subconsciously compared the Huge Industrial Monster with their proud national companies. Then they came to the conclusion that domestic tech companies were garbage. Among them, Tesla was the most criticized.

At Tesla headquarters in Silicon Valley, Tesla CEO Martin hosted a major networking conference tied to the Huge Industrial Monster.

There were only three protagonists in this online conference, Mr. Martin, the general manager, Mr. Aklan, the director of the Office of Energy, and Mr. Bertram, the president of Raytheon Technology. The faces of the three bosses appeared on the same screen. Their expressions were very similar, and they all scowl as if they had lost hundreds of millions.

"Mr. Bertram, what stage have you reached in Raytheon Technology's evaluation and testing of the application of plasma batteries in the military field?" At the start of the meeting, the director of the Energy Administration, Aklan, spoke.

The three of them didn't even have the proper etiquette to say hello, and it looked like a videoconference, which had happened more than once.

Raytheon Technology is well known as one of the US military's major defense contractors and most of its products are focused on military technology projects. At the same time, this technology company is also one of the few companies in China to have dealt with the Huge Industrial Monster.

It has been a month since the Energy Bureau learned of the amazing discovery of the Shi Lei car, and since that time the Energy Bureau has started the research for a comprehensive evaluation of the plasma battery, the military side was appointed to Raytheon Technology and the civilian side was handled by Tesla.

Compared to the arrogance and complacency in the face of the Huge Industrial Monster for the first time, the expression of the president of Raytheon Technology at that time was slightly impressive due to the extensive plasma battery research.

……

Technology is a very intuitive thing, and the strong are admired. As for those superpowers that have thrown their pairs more than a dozen streets away, they will make their pairs despair and scare...

...…

"Testing of small electronic equipment has been completed, and testing of medium and large military equipment is underway. Projects include field radars, vehicle-borne drones, small special submarines, etc."

"What is the current conclusion??

Several military projects reported by President Bertram made the director of the Bureau of Energy a little nervous.

"Very bad."

Raytheon president Bertram shook his head: "I mean we're in a really bad spot. We have three plasma battery samples. No matter what kind of device we plug it into, it works. It has shown surprising results, and it was able to show incredible matching ability. Charging on the drone increased the endurance of the drone by almost 4.5 times, and the special submarine will be tested in the afternoon."

"However, I am pessimistic about the test results because it destroys our confidence in the energy sector."

"I see, what about the civilian sector?" Commissioner Aklan sighed and turned to Tesla executive Martin.

"Our confidence was completely destroyed," Martin thought for a moment, then said: "Just yesterday, we noticed the Huge Industrial Monster upgraded a new system for the Shi Lei car. This upgrade, in addition to the original functions, in addition to optimization, also announced the launch of a remote driving function."

"I saw the news," director Aklan said: "Since the Huge Industrial Monster dared to come up with this plan, it had to make a breakthrough in wireless connection technology."

……

The phrase that the military version is always one level higher than the civilian version is applicable in any country, especially China.

……

"The Huge Industrial Monster must have a more powerful version of the plasma battery. We can notice the excellence of the plasma battery, and the energy department of China can do the same."

"When your testing is complete, these plasma batteries will be disassembled and analyzed and copied for energy storage materials. We cannot fall far behind in the energy fields."

"No, sir," Martin smiled bitterly: "We bought four Shi Lei cars through special channels, after all, the Huge Industrial Monster is the number one opponent of our Tesla company."

"Sell...sell me one," said Raytheon Technology President Bertram, embarrassed.
