Chapter 1240 Traffic Accident

The number of cars owned in the United States is quite high. Everyone must have a driver's license after reaching the legal age, just like an ID card. After all, most people here live in scattered areas. Even if you want to go to a supermarket, you can't just walk there. You have to drive, and it can take half an hour. A car is like a person's two legs and is indispensable.

This is considered by many to be a sign of civilized American society. In fact, it is simply because of the small population and insufficient supporting resources. There is nothing to be proud of.

But Gao Qin likes it. She thinks that the United States is a developed country. After all, since she was in elementary school, she has been envious when she heard that her classmates' parents worked abroad. Moreover, they often showed off the advanced things they brought back from abroad. They once brought back a calculator with many buttons on it that could realize various functions. Her classmates also used it to play games.

I also want to study hard and strive to go abroad in the future!

This impression was left in Gao Qin's young heart.

Now, she has finally come to the United States, and has the opportunity to get a green card while still in school. She is very happy and drives her Golden Sun electric car at full speed all the way.

Suddenly, a dog jumped out from the intersection ahead and crossed the road. When she saw it, she wanted to quickly raise her foot to step on the brake, but before she did so, the car started to brake automatically!

There was a sharp sound of brakes, and Gao Qin felt her body leap forward, then was tightly restrained by the seat belt.

This car can actually brake by itself?
At this moment, Gao Qin was shocked. She had just heard that this car had the ability of intelligent driving, but she didn't know how intelligent it was. She didn't expect that the car could brake by itself. It was so advanced!

The dog was also startled and ran away quickly, and the car automatically began to resume its previous speed.

Gao Qin looked at the screen beside her, which displayed various information. The interface was all in Chinese, and it should be the version sold only in the East.

"Yes, this car is OK. However, once I decipher the Beidou navigation information, I can develop a more advanced electric car! This intelligent driving technology will also be used in American cars. It can be used on all kinds of cars. Humph, this is not exclusive to electric cars."

Although her butt is crooked, Gao Qin is still very strong in the technical field and she can see the key to the technology at a glance.

Many people praise electric cars and their automatic driving function. In fact, what is automatic driving? It is just the accelerator, steering wheel and brakes. Electric cars can automatically drive, and gasoline cars also have this function. You just need to replace the brakes with electric brakes.

But is this really a good idea? In later generations, there was a saying that the cruise control could not be canceled, which caused the car to keep moving at high speed on the road. In fact, if the brakes are hydraulic brakes assisted by the engine vacuum, you can just step on the brake pedal to let the brake system and the engine system compete with each other, and directly kill the engine. The car will naturally stop under the action of the brakes.

If stepping on the brakes is just an electrical signal, then there is nothing you can do. If the onboard computer crashes, the car will be completely out of control.

The car stopped downstairs of the dormitory. Gao Qin returned to the dormitory and heard a familiar beep from her computer. When she turned on the computer, it was another video call request from her father.

"Dad, what's wrong? Aren't you at work?"

"I just wanted to see what you were doing. It's so late, and you're a girl, you can't go out and run around. It's not safe in the United States."

Looking at the concerned eyes, Gao Qin felt a little disgusted: "Dad, I am already an adult. Even if I go out at night and go to the bar to dance, it is my freedom. It is very safe here. It is not as bad as you think. This is all deliberate propaganda by the media. It is very good here!"

"Okay, Dad is glad to know that you are in the dormitory. You should study hard over there, and when you finish your studies, you can return home and use the knowledge you have learned to continue to build our motherland. Dad is very proud of you!"

"Okay, got it. Dad, do you have anything else to say? If not, hang up. I still have to study."

"Well, then you should learn. When you are out there, never forget that you are the descendants of Yan and Huang..." Before she finished her words, Gao Qin pressed the off button.

You old stubborn man, what era is this? Humph, you have been brainwashed since childhood, but I haven’t. The world is so big, everyone is free!
With this thought in mind, Gao Qin returned to her bed. At this moment, her roommate walked in. She was a tall black woman with her hair braided into small braids. Since Gao Qin and her roommate became roommates, she had never seen her braid her hair. There was a special smell coming from her hair, but Gao Qin didn't dare to say anything. This black woman was on the school boxing team and could beat any man in the past.

"Gao, is that beautiful car outside yours?"

"Ah."

"Give me the car keys!"

"This..." Gao Qin hesitated. If she gave the car keys to this female villain, she would probably take them over in the future, and Gao Qin would not be able to get them back.

“This car is not mine.”

"I know. Isn't it Rambo who gave it to you?"

"Well, where are you going? I'll drive you."

"Okay." The female black man nodded: "Let's go to the nearby Hooker Bar and relax for a night. Gao, you should have gone to enjoy the nightlife with us a long time ago."

After getting down from the dormitory building, Gao Qin found that there were two people waiting next to the car. When she pressed the remote control key, several people got in, talking and laughing, smoking and spitting. It was very disgusting at first glance. However, Gao Qin did not dare to say anything. She could only drive the car and send these people to the bar before coming back!

The car got back on the road and sped forward. With the experience just now, Gao Qin was full of confidence in this car. It could even brake if a dog suddenly jumped out from the front. It was so smart, what was there to worry about?

Let's get these people out of here! Let them go to the bar and have fun!

At this time Gao Qin didn't know that she was really going to heaven this time, but she was just being sent to the west.

A bridge appeared ahead.

The Los Angeles River flows through the entire city of Los Angeles, and the entire city relies on this river for nourishment. Silicon Valley needs a lot of fresh water, which is also obtained from the Los Angeles River. At the same time, for the development of the city, there are many bridges on the river, making travel very convenient.

The Golden Sun electric car drove towards the bridge. Once on the bridge, there were concrete guardrails on both sides, which were very strong. Only the approach section from the land to the bridge was equipped with ordinary wooden guardrails. After experiencing the vicissitudes of history, the wood had become mottled.

Suddenly, the scenery on both sides began to recede faster!
Gao Qin didn't think anything of it, she thought it was just her illusion, but several people in the car cheered.

"Great, this is how to drive!" the female black man said excitedly, and then looked at the big screen.

This electric car is different from ordinary cars. There is no instrument under the steering wheel, only a large screen in the center, so the passenger can also see it.

I saw the numbers above increasing rapidly.

It was originally only fifty, but when everyone felt it, it was already eighty, and by the time the female black fan shouted, it was already one hundred and twenty!

Instead, the number is still rising wildly, one hundred and fifty, one hundred and eighty!

Electric motors have their own characteristics: large torque, so an ordinary electric car can easily beat the starting performance of a sports car. However, electric motorcycles also have defects. Ordinary electric cars do not have gearboxes. The electric motor directly drives the motor through the reduction gear. This means that it is impossible to always find the optimal engine speed range by shifting gears like a gasoline car, nor to increase the top speed by shifting gears.

The top speed of electric vehicles is generally not high. After all, in order to take into account the starting performance, the speed ratio of the reduction gear cannot be too small, which will obviously affect the top speed performance of the electric vehicle. The maximum speed of the electric motor is only about 10,000 rpm. A certain car in later generations only increased this speed to 19,000 rpm, which is almost the limit.

Therefore, in order to meet the needs of use under different working conditions, some electric vehicle companies have also begun to play with gearboxes. Initially, there were two-speed gearboxes, that is, high and low speeds were added. Later, there were even four gears, but then they went back to the old ways.

Electric cars were originally developed in order to circumvent the various technical patents of internal combustion engines, especially the patents of automatic transmissions. Now, in pursuit of performance, they are equipped with transmissions?

Of course, the Golden Sun Electric Vehicle Company would not play it that way. They are in the motor business and are the strongest in this field. Therefore, they specially equipped this Golden Sun electric car with a high-speed motor with a maximum speed of up to 25,000 rpm, and the maximum speed can exceed 300 kilometers per hour.

In fact, the maximum speed is of no use. Except for running on a racetrack, there are no ordinary roads for it to be used. It's like some people who can't afford a luxury car and are unhappy about it, so they say sourly: What's so great about a luxury car? No matter how big the engine is, it can only run at 120 km/h, not the fastest?

It is true that it can only run this fast, but luxury cars have a quick start and accelerate quickly, so overtaking is very easy. Those small-displacement naturally aspirated engines have to slowly accelerate, but large-displacement luxury cars can accelerate with just one step on the accelerator.

This is even more true for electric cars. If you want to speed up, all you have to do is step on the accelerator.

It only took two or three seconds to accelerate from 50 to 180. The haters in the car felt the adrenaline surge and cheered. They liked this feeling of speeding. It would be even better if the lid on the top could be opened! A convertible is more fun.

"No!"

Gao Qin screamed. She had already stepped on the brake, but the car showed no sign of stopping and continued to accelerate. She had never driven so fast before. She couldn't control the car at all!
The next second, the car started to turn.

Gao Qin was even more frightened. She clearly didn't turn the steering wheel, but the car left its original track!

At this moment, the other people in the car also realized that something was wrong and started shouting in fear.

"No!"

Boom!
The front of the car crashed through the wooden guardrail and then drew a graceful curve in the sky, as if it was taking off.

Can cars fly?
Of course not!

The arc starts to curve downward, a parabola caused by air resistance, and then, poof!
The car fell into the water!
"Quick, open the car door!"

The female black man shouted while pulling the door armrest and pushing it outwards, but the door didn't move at all!

Once entering the water, the car door cannot be opened because of the external water pressure. The car door cannot be opened outward at all. Even if it only sinks ten meters, the external water pressure is equivalent to one atmosphere!

"Open the car window, open the car window!" the black guy behind shouted.

If the car door cannot be opened, then open the window. Just let the water outside flow in and balance the pressure inside and outside. Moreover, they don’t need to open the car door, they can climb out through the window.

Different races are good at different things. Black people are good at running and marathons, and they almost always take first place. However, black people are not good at swimming, which is determined by factors such as body density.

But, even if you are not good at it, you have to swim. Staying in the car is just waiting for death!
So the scoundrels tried to press the window lift button again, but no matter how hard they pressed, the window didn't move.

Gao Qin looked at the display on the screen and suddenly understood something. She felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. Her body began to tremble, her face turned pale, and sweat broke out. She knew that her life would end here.

The car suddenly accelerated, turned, fell into the river, and closed the doors and windows. All of this was definitely intentional! Just after the car flew up, a line of words briefly appeared on the screen: Remote control data being deleted.

Although it was just a flash, she, who had been learning Chinese characters since she was a child, could see it clearly.

All of this is remotely operated by the outside world!
This is a highly intelligent vehicle. Everything in the car is controlled by a computer. The system can also be upgraded remotely, and it can naturally be remotely controlled.

Who did it?
It wasn't Rambo and the others. After all, if they wanted to use me, it could only be the developers of this type of car. Only they had the ability to remotely control it. In other words, I was...

Bang, bang, bang! Some black men were already smashing the glass. Gao Qin reacted and quickly smashed the glass with her own hands, shouting in despair.

"No, no, I was wrong, I was wrong, you can't do this..."

Traitors and traitors will never come to their senses. Even if they admit their mistakes, they do so out of helplessness. They do so only to reduce their sentences. But now, no matter how Gao Qin shouted, no one heard her.

The river water blocks all electromagnetic waves.

At the same time, in a villa.

"What happened? We monitored the car falling into the river!"

"Quick, report to Mr. Turano immediately!"

"Hurry, call for help immediately and get that car out. God, I hope they are still alive."

A few minutes later, sirens wailed, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and all kinds of vehicles drove towards the river, and even a helicopter took off. This was definitely their most efficient deployment ever!

However, it was night time after all, and rescue was difficult. The car was not salvaged until midnight. At this time, three hours had passed since the car fell into the river. It was impossible for anyone inside to be alive. They must have died from the fall or suffocated to death.

Looking at the salvaged car, Turano's face was full of gloom.

"Besides Gao Qin, there was also Alice who shared the same dormitory with her and Alice's two friends. All of them died." There was no trace of grief on Rambo's face, as if the two had never been in love.

"cause of death?"

"We won't know until after the autopsy, but judging by visual inspection, it should be water entering the alveoli."

People need to breathe. Without air, they will breathe seawater. Although they did not break open the car doors and windows, the car is not completely sealed. River water will always seep in through various gaps, especially the air inlet of the air conditioner. Eventually, the car will be filled with water, and the people inside will naturally drown, with their lungs full of water.

"Cause of the accident?"

"He was speeding, the car was going too fast, he crashed through the guardrail and fell into the river."

"Is it because Gao Qin can't drive?"

"do not know."

The cause of the accident can only be analyzed here: the vehicle was speeding. As for why the vehicle was speeding, there are various situations.

Did the driver drink alcohol or take something that day that caused him to be mentally excited, or was there a mechanical failure of the car, or was the driver unfamiliar with the performance of the vehicle?

Electric cars are so powerful that if you step on the accelerator all the way, the car may fly up. So, if you have never driven an electric car before, you may not be able to handle it if you try it rashly.

Gao Qin had just taken over this electric car, so it was possible that she lost control of the vehicle due to her unfamiliarity. However, everyone present was experienced and they would definitely not think so simply.

Gao Qin had just accepted their mission to decipher the Beidou navigation system for them. At this critical moment, Gao Qin got into trouble. Who did it?

"Could it be that there are already spies from the East among us?"

"This really needs to be carefully investigated. It may be personnel or technical means. Our villa may no longer be safe. We should find another place to work."

The personnel need to be thoroughly checked, and at the same time, attention should be paid to the technology. After all, the electronic technology in the East is too advanced. Maybe they have quietly entered our network and stolen relevant intelligence?

Anyway, I'll be busy next.

"However, on the surface, this is just an ordinary traffic accident. I'm afraid we can't take advantage of it, let alone retaliate," said Rambo.

They were about to get the secrets of the Beidou navigation system, but they missed it because of Gao Qin's death. What should they do? Just accept it?

"Yes, we can't retaliate against them, but even if it's a traffic accident, we can still make a fuss about it. Dongfang's Golden Sun electric cars are unsafe, especially since they are vigorously developing intelligent driving technology, which is extremely unsafe!"

There is nothing else to do, so we can only use this opportunity to discredit Eastern electric cars.

"Well, okay, let's arrange it right away."

Rambo is not the college student he appears to be. He is also an important intelligence officer and an academic special agent talent. Now, it is naturally easy for him to discredit Golden Sun Electric Vehicles.
