Great Power Army Reclamation

Chapter 2601 Self-driving Taxi

Shocked by his father, Yang Wei went home every day and lived with Ye Qianqian again.

Yang Geyong doesn't care about that. If you have any grudges or not, just sleep together with me. If I don't believe it, what's the matter? Sleeping together every day won't solve it?

For the first time, Ye Qianqian felt that her husband was so wise. Although the method was simple and crude, it was really effective!

Now the two of them fight for 300 rounds every day, and Ye Qianqian feels refreshed every day when she goes to work.

She was always quick-tempered, but now she is even more resolute.

After the two took office, they did not take any big measures. Liu Junken had just expanded the city, and they could just maintain stability for now.

However, they still provide some preferential policies for electric vehicles that have just started. After all, it is an emerging industry, and it is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. This must be supported.

However, they also issued rigid regulations to the battery company when they used them, that is, they must develop methods for recycling and decomposing old batteries as soon as possible, otherwise the pollution caused would be a big trouble.

I have to say that these two girls are very forward-looking. The biggest obstacle to future trams is the pollution problem of old batteries.

If a solution is not developed as soon as possible, it will become a big problem sooner or later.

For example, recycling of today's various small batteries is still a problem.

In fact, the battery factory has thought about this issue since the beginning of production. Solving this problem is not that troublesome.

One is that it can be recycled and reused, which is the so-called refurbishment. This refurbishment is not fake, but replaces the unusable parts, which is no different from the new one.

Those materials that really cannot be reused can just be decomposed and restored to their original raw materials.

This thing is just like scrap iron. What can it become if it is melted again? The reason for the pollution is simply that the recycling work is not in place.

Warrior Electric Vehicle Factory can recycle all used batteries. If you don't hand them back, it's your fault.

The reason why the city pays so much attention to it is because the technical content of electric trains is actually in the battery.

Battery life is an important factor affecting the development of electric vehicles. In fact, the first electric vehicle appeared much earlier than the earliest gas vehicle. The history of electric vehicles is full of innovations in four-wheel transportation.

We started talking about it in the 1830s, when Scotsman Robert Anderson invented the motorized carriage, which was manufactured between 1832 and 1839.

Batteries (primary cells) weren't rechargeable at the time, so it was more of a parlor magic trick ("Look! It's neither a horse nor a cow, but it moves!") rather than a transportation device.

Another Scot, Robert Davison from Aberdeen, built a prototype electric locomotive in 1837.

In 1841, a larger and better version was demonstrated that could travel 1.5 miles at 4 mph and tow 6 tons.

Then it needs battery replacement. This impressive performance panicked railroad workers (who believed it posed a threat to their jobs maintaining the steam engines), and they destroyed Davidson's devilish machine, which he named Galvani.

In 1859, rechargeable batteries were introduced, making the idea of ​​electric cars more feasible.

Around 1884, inventor Thomas Parker helped deploy electric trams and built prototypes of electric cars in Britain.

In 1890, William Morrison, a Scottish-born chemist living in Des Moines, Iowa, patented an electric carriage that he had built around 1887.

According to the Des Moines Register, it appeared in a city parade in 1888.

It's front-wheel drive, has 4 horsepower, has a reported top speed of 20 mph, and has 24 battery cells that need to be recharged every 50 miles.

Morrison's self-propelled carriage caused a sensation at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (also known as the famous World's Columbian Exposition). Morrison himself was more interested in batteries than mobility, but he sparked the imaginations of other inventors.

Pedro and Henry G. Morris adapted the technology for battery-powered street cars and boats and in 1894

Obtained patent in year. At first, it was heavy and slow (like a streetcar with steel "tires" and a 1,600-pound battery).

Later their Electrobats gradually adopted pneumatic tires and lighter materials, so that by 1896 their rear-wheel steering carriage used two 1.1 kW engines to travel 25 miles at a top speed of 20 mph.

Another electric car from 18bat and Riker won a series of five-mile sprint races against petrol Duryea cars.

Morris and Salom established the company that year and entered the "money-making" phase of successful entrepreneurship.

They built several electric Hansen cabs to compete with the horse-drawn carriages serving New York at the time, and sold the idea to Isaac L. Rice, who founded the Electric Vehicle Company (EVC) in New Jersey.

He in turn attracted big-money investors and partners, and by the early 2000s they had more than 600 electric taxis operating in New York, with smaller fleets in Boston, Baltimore and other Eastern cities.

In New York, the downtime required to recharge the batteries is solved by converting the ice rink into a battery swap station, where taxis can drive in, swap used batteries with charged ones, and drive off.

But like many startups, it expanded too quickly, unexpected conflicts arose between investors and partners, and the entire taxi business went bankrupt in 1907.

Even so, electric vehicles have not withdrawn from the stage of history. After numerous changes, their final defeat to fuel vehicles was actually due to battery life issues.

The Warrior Group's breakthrough in batteries is undoubtedly groundbreaking. Therefore, even if a branch factory can be established anywhere, the battery factory must be located in Junken City.

Because the three cores of electric vehicles are nothing more than batteries, motors and electronic controls.

There are basically no secrets about motors and electronic controls, and the most advanced technology of Warrior trams today is battery and intelligent networking technology.

Others will definitely not be able to learn intelligent networking. This kind of thing involves too many technologies, and it cannot be learned by just looking at it.

However, if the battery technology is produced outside, there is a real possibility that it will be stolen by others.

After driving an electric car with Yang Geyong last time, Ye Yuze has been driving this car now, mainly because it feels more comfortable to drive than a fuel car.

Nowadays, a series of technologies developed by Mr. Ni and others have begun to be applied to electric vehicles, which is even more icing on the cake.

For example, autonomous driving, this technology has been tested for some time and is very mature. Li Lindong sent Ye Yuze another car and asked him to test drive it.

Yang Geyong came after hearing the news, and the two of them got into the car curiously.

Li Lindong sat in the driver's seat. After setting a goal, he started chatting with two people.

Then the car started to drive on its own. The route it chose was very precise. It was courteous to pedestrians and obeyed traffic rules along the way. It was very standard.

Yang Geyong was still chatting with Ye Yuze and didn't take the autonomous driving seriously, but he was completely dumbfounded along the way.

Both he and Ye Yuze have very good driving skills, but it is inevitable that there will be violations, and this self-driving car is just like the most disciplined driver, and will not make any mistakes.

In fact, traffic jams are often caused by people who do not obey traffic rules and want to rush forward. As a result, they occupy all the lanes that should not be occupied, and no one can walk.

Even if you encounter a car accident, if other vehicles follow traffic regulations, there will generally be no traffic jam.

If all the cars on the street move like this in the future, let alone traffic jams, there won't even be car accidents.

Both of them were shocked, and Ye Yuze couldn't help but ask:

"How long have you been experimenting with this kind of car?"

Li Lindong smiled proudly: "Almost half a year ago, Mr. Ni and others developed this technology as soon as the tram came out. The reason why it has not been used in cars is because of safety experiments."

Ye Yuze nodded and said no more. He was thinking about something.

After a while, he suddenly said to Yang Geyong:

"What do you think if this kind of taxis were introduced in New York?"

Yang Geyong excitedly slapped his thigh: "Okay, those grandsons have not been working hard all day long. They don't go here and there. They have to spend money in addition to the car money. They should have been replaced a long time ago!"

Ye Yuze nodded: "Okay, let's do it this way. Let's help them change the trend and let them know what it means to serve the people."

Li Lindong suddenly interrupted: "Mr. Ye, I think we should take the lead in implementing it in Junchen City. Only with a model can we be convincing!"

Ye Yuze shook his head: "It's not easy to be a taxi driver. Don't ruin other people's jobs. For Lao Mi's side, just do it. Their welfare is relatively high anyway."

Li Lindong was silent, not knowing how to answer this question?

Yang Geyong, on the other hand, didn't think too much and said nonchalantly:

"Just arrange other things for them. We can just work casually in Junken City and earn more than driving a taxi. It doesn't have to be so hard."

When Ye Yuze heard that it was really the case, he ordered Li Lindong:

"Go to the city to talk. Talk directly to the leader of the traffic control department. Don't use my banner."

Li Lindong nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, the Warrior Group always follows the rules and never exceeds them."

Yang Geyong was a little puzzled: "This is all a good thing, why can't you find her? I'll give Qianqian a call."

Ye Yuze stopped him: "We are a company and they are the government. Normal matters must be handled through normal channels to avoid giving an excuse to some people."

Yang Geyong stopped talking. He was simple-minded and not stupid. He naturally knew what Ye Yuze cared about?

The reason why Junken City has developed so rapidly since its establishment is because the decision-making power has always been in the hands of its own people.

If someone with ulterior motives takes power, I don't know whether they seek personal gain or not, but it will definitely hinder the development of Junken City. This is very important.

Just like in the early days of reform, companies suffered a large number of losses and closed down. The reason was not workers or technology, but the rigid thinking or incompetence of business leaders.

Otherwise, why are so many township and village enterprises rising rapidly? In terms of equipment and technology, how can they compare with state-owned enterprises?

How can a group of farmers who have never been exposed to any equipment be better than workers who have been exposed to the factory since childhood?

Therefore, Junken City has paid special attention to this aspect since its inception, paying attention to the introduction of talents and hiring professional managers.

Especially government agencies, never interfere with the autonomy of enterprises.

For example, Warrior Group has always had half of the government's shares. But they never interfere in business matters, so the group can develop like this.

If a leader who likes to point fingers comes, goes to Warrior Group to express some opinions when he has nothing to do, and then encounters a group of subordinates who like to flatter, it is really hard to say what Warrior Group will be like.

Although it is difficult to develop an enterprise, it requires a lot of people and a long time of hard work, but if you want to bring it down, one person is enough, and there are many such examples in China.

Ye Yuze has no intention of interfering in politics, but he will never allow the group to be brought down, so he will do a lot of things for the country for free.

But he also pays great attention to some things, that is, never get too close to any official. Even if the official is his own relative.

Because there are so many people watching the Warrior Group now, and there are many people in the power center, who will definitely jump out once they get the chance.

He is a child of the Corps. Since he was a child, he knew that he should be patriotic, because there are powerful enemies everywhere around him. Only when the motherland is strong can the people have a stable life.

And they, since birth, are destined to be the ones who protect this stability. This is his mission.

Li Lindong quickly submitted an application for self-driving taxis to the relevant departments.

The relevant departments attached great importance to it and reported it to the city soon.

After the city held a meeting to study it, it felt that the plan was feasible. As for the taxi drivers, the Warrior Group has already given a resettlement plan.

In fact, Junken City is still short of people now. Even if the Warrior Group wants to accept all of them, the city will not agree.

After all, they are all experienced drivers with strong skills, and the city will also intercept some of them for use elsewhere.

After the team reached a consensus, it soon reported to the Corps headquarters. Ayijiang and Liu Junken naturally agreed quickly.

Subsequently, the first batch of driverless taxis appeared on the streets of Junken City and became a highlight.

At first, only young people tried it. After all, it was a new thing, and many people did not feel safe.

But as more and more people experienced it, this way of travel was quickly accepted by people.

After all, without a driver, there is no emotion, and there is less trouble, but those chatterboxes are a little dissatisfied.

Because many people like to brag to the driver as soon as they get in the car, and taxi drivers are generally more talkative, so they don’t feel lonely on the road.

Now the fun is gone, but there is also artificial intelligence, the intelligence called Lele can chat with you.

This guy can be male or female, knows everything about astronomy and geography, and is proficient in multiple languages, which attracts many passengers who don’t like to talk to get in the car and chat.

What’s more, people take the car just to chat with Lele, and they have developed feelings for him.

This makes those drivers who are unwilling to quit the taxi industry complain all the time and call these people stupid.

The city did not clear all taxis, but just explained the situation to them. After all, self-driving taxis are cheap, and they may not be able to do it.

The tickets can be given, come with a few
