When Huang Chen left the nursing home, he had two red plastic bags in his hands.
These were given to him by the elders. There were no valuable gifts in them, just some bitter tea from Xi County and two smoked chickens.
Huang Chen's heart was filled with indescribable joy.
The value of a gift was not determined by its material value, but by the intention of the giver and the recipient.
Huang Chen felt uneasy when he held the supermarket shopping card he had received two days ago.
However, this time, Huang Chen was happy. He felt that his work was meaningful and was recognized.
The two gifts sent out two completely different signals.
Before leaving, Huang Chen secretly paid for a service package replacement that cost more than 300 yuan for the two elven maids. He said that it was a free benefit that he had helped apply for.
Before returning to the city, Huang Chen contacted the driver in advance because he was thinking about the strange feeling in the morning and asked if he was free to make another trip.
The pick-up and delivery were both a round trip, so there was no problem with the mileage.
The driver said that there was no problem and rushed to Xi County after this short trip.
After waiting by the roadside for more than ten minutes, Huang Chen sat in the same Thunderbolt car in the same seat.
This time, Huang Chen quietly paid attention to the information in front of him.
At first, Huang Chen thought that he was overthinking, but as the journey began, he immediately found the strange feeling in the morning.
The remaining energy and mileage were not right.
Huang Chen sat in the passenger seat. When he turned to chat with the driver, he could see the information on the display in front of the steering wheel.
The Thunderbolt car's display information layout was not much different from other cars. The speedometer was in the middle, and both sides provided vehicle information.
The remaining energy and mileage were in the lower right corner. When Huang Chen began to focus on these two pieces of information.
He found that the remaining energy and mileage numbers were very different from what he knew.
The remaining energy was 32%, and the remaining mileage was 296 kilometers.
Huang Chen became alert almost immediately.
Turning his face, Huang Chen opened the navigation app on his phone, turned off the voice prompt, and started the navigation.
The navigation text prompt: Current distance to Xiaozhou City Monster Industries after-sales and maintenance station is 67 kilometers.
The navigation began.
The current speed was 96 kilometers per hour …
Then, he switched to the calculator on his phone and calculated the kilometers and energy percentage of the plasma battery on the road according to the data in his mind.
Now, the driver had turned on the cold air. The cold air was more energy-efficient than the warm air, and the energy consumption was 3% higher.
With a speed of 96 km/h, it was considered an economical speed. With the addition of air conditioning, the energy consumption per kilometer was estimated to be 0.075%.
This was the data of the second generation plasma battery.
While chatting with the driver in the morning, he said that he had just gone to the maintenance station to get a new battery two days ago. It was Huang Chen who had brought someone to replace it.
But after a few minutes, the speed comparison proved that the Thunderbolt car's speedometer was correct.
The navigation distance was shortened by ten kilometers, and the total odometer on the monitor had also increased by ten kilometers.
The remaining energy kilometers at the bottom right had also decreased by about ten kilometers.
All the information was normal.
The only problem was the remaining energy.
After ten kilometers, the remaining energy was 30.5%.
The energy consumption of the Thunderbolt car per kilometer was 0.15%.
Huang Chen chatted idly while using his phone to log into his work background to check the car's maintenance log.
The license plate number could be obtained from the taxi app. After entering the license plate number and retrieving the maintenance log, Huang Chen was 100% sure that this Thunderbolt car had indeed been replaced with a new generation of plasma batteries two days ago.
Now, the actual energy consumption of this car was two times higher than the theoretical energy consumption per kilometer.
Of course, this could not be a problem with the second generation plasma battery.
Not to mention that the second generation plasma battery had never had such a failure, even if it was a battery problem.
Then, how could this driver watch as the 1,700-kilometer mileage with a full battery shrunk to 900-kilometer mileage without doing anything?
He had to investigate clearly.
Huang Chen did not rashly ask the driver, nor did he tell the supervisor about this discovery.
The supervisor was most likely not a good person.
…
After returning to Xiaozhou City, Huang Chen decided to investigate by himself.
Huang Chen might be at a loss when investigating other things, but it was not difficult to find out the ins and outs of these Thunderbolt car.
First, he obtained more detailed maintenance logs and videos from the maintenance workshop and recorded all the license plates of the more than twenty cars that had been replaced with the second generation plasma battery.
Then, he checked the driving information of these vehicles.
If it was just a normal search, Huang Chen would not be able to find any useful information.
Although the Thunderbolt car was connected to the Internet all the time, Huang Chen did not have the authority to access the uploaded data when it was driving normally.
Only when the Thunderbolt car turned on the automatic driving function and interacted with the server did Huang Chen have the authority to access the specific information of these vehicles as a remote technical instructor.
In the next few days, Huang Chen checked the information of these license plates in batches in the remote driving management backend to see if there were any that had turned on the automatic driving function.
When he was working outside and getting off work, he paid attention to the streets. When he saw a Thunderbolt car with the Ruida logo, he stopped it and said he wanted to take a taxi.
There were a total of sixty Ruida Thunderbolt car shuttling in Xiaozhou City.
As long as he deliberately looked for it, Huang Chen could always find one or two a day.
In the next few days, the remaining dozens of Ruida Thunderbolt car were replaced with the second generation plasma battery one after another.
In the past few days, Huang Chen stopped a total of five Ruida Thunderbolt car on the road. In the management backend, he checked the cars that had turned on the automatic driving function nine times.
Once the Thunderbolt car turned on the automatic driving function, all the information of the car would be synchronized to the server for the server to coordinate and process.
The location of the vehicle, the driving route, the energy state, the speed, these were all clear at a glance.
It was also because of this that Huang Chen gradually became fearful and uneasy.
Through the time of maintenance logs, he found that as long as the second-generation plasma battery was replaced with the Thunderbolt car under Ruida, they would always return to the original state in one or two days.
They would return to the original detected state of battery energy decay.
Before the battery was replaced, the energy decay of their plasma battery fluctuated between 40% and 30%. In the state of full charge, the driving range was 900 to 1000 kilometers.
After the replacement of the second-generation plasma battery, the driving range was up to 1700 kilometers in the state of full charge.
But after one or two days, the driving range of these Thunderbolt car with full charge would return to 900 to 1000 kilometers.
Huang Chen had never encountered such a situation, he had never even heard of it.
Each set of plasma batteries had an independent management chip inside. These chips and the Thunderbolt car had mutual equipment authentication. Only when the authentication passed, the Thunderbolt car could function normally.
The security system of the Thunderbolt car could not be cracked.
That meant that these Thunderbolt car whose driving range had dropped by two times on full charge did not have the possibility of replacing a third-party battery.
After eliminating all the impossibilities, there was only one possibility left that he did not want to think about.
