"It didn't pass?"
Manager Kong Tao's words put Ye Qing in a bad mood. The emotions that had been brewing in the office hundreds of meters in the air all disappeared.
It didn't make sense.
Which of the Thunderbolt car's indicators were not off the charts? Monster Heavy Industries had already received the test items from the Quality Supervision and Inspection Center. Ye Qing could guarantee that the three models sent for inspection had the most perfect data in all the tests.
"They replied that … it's a problem with the battery's safety."
"There are no problems with the static test of our car frame structure, material physics, and electronic tests. The high-tech rearview mirror technology with the use of low-light full-color cameras has also been highly approved by them. "
"The problem is with the plasma battery. After they tested it, they thought that the plasma battery was too risky. According to them, the chemical performance test area conducted a special test on the battery pack. They found that if the battery is damaged by a violent impact, the internal storage liquid will slowly volatilize after coming into contact with the air. It can release gas that is temporarily uncertain whether it is harmful or not. When the liquid comes into contact with an open flame, it will also trigger a violent burn. "
"They think that the plasma battery does not meet the national safety standards."
"…"
Ye Qing was not convinced by the test results. The various parameters of the plasma battery had been clearly listed on the drawings in the monster factory.
If it was just a safety aspect, Ye Qing said with certainty that the plasma battery was far safer than all the lithium batteries or nickel hydrogen batteries on the market.
First of all, the liquid energy storage material of the plasma battery was transformed from a metal compound. At normal temperature, this liquid material had the same stable characteristics as metal. It was sealed in a shell. No matter if it was a violent collision or an external force, it would not explode and spontaneously combust like lithium batteries or nickel hydrogen batteries.
The evaporation in the air was a characteristic of almost all liquid energy storage materials.
However, the energy storage material of the plasma battery evaporated very slowly, and it was low toxic.
Who would evaporate it for no reason?
When it came to evaporation, gasoline and diesel would also evaporate. If one smelled too much of it, they would still feel dizzy. When it came into contact with an open flame, it would not be much different from gasoline.
However, it had to be emphasized that in a normal car accident, the probability of the whole car burning due to gasoline was much higher than the probability of the plasma battery burning. This was due to the placement of the plasma batteries and the protection of the two special shells.
The Thunderbolt car was equipped with eight plasma batteries. They were laid out in the middle of the car, between the front and back seats. Its thickness, including the protective shell, was 6.5 centimeters. It was not as thick as the bottom of a traditional car, which needed to occupy the thickness of the exhaust pipe.
The outer shell of the plasma battery was made of multiple layers of polycarbonate, which made it very flexible. The outer protective shell was made of nickel-titanium memory alloy, which could withstand the attack of standard rifles without being damaged.
To put it bluntly, if a serious car accident were to happen, the plasma battery would definitely be safer than a car, and it would be safer than a traditional fuel car.
Why?
Ye Qing could not figure out why Tesla and many other cars powered by lithium batteries could pass the safety test, but plasma batteries could not.
"Call the Vehicle Quality Supervision and Inspection Center again and ask them for more details." Ye Qing couldn't believe it. It was as infuriating as if a pearl was placed in a pawn shop and the shopkeeper insisted that it was made of glass.
The most important thing was that there were only three days before the Thunderbolt car press conference.
If this problem was not solved, on the day of the press conference, the Thunderbolt car that did not even pass the inspection center's verification would become an international joke.
…
The Shanghai Automobile Quality Supervision and Inspection Center was located in the Automobile Industrial Park. Everything related to cars could be found here. There was the Toyota Motor Company, the International Automobile City, and the largest Volkswagen production base in the country.
The Hua Xia National Automobile Quality Inspection Center was based on the application of these many foreign joint venture brands.
This was one of the inspection centers in Hua Xia with the most comprehensive technology and the highest level of technical equipment. As long as the car passed the inspection here, the car could enter the Hua Xia market for sale.
Why?
Why would a car under Monster Heavy Industries be stuck in the quality inspection center?
At ten o 'clock in the morning, in the huge inspection center, the experts in the material physics test area and the chemical performance test area gathered together.
This group of old experts, from the Alto to the Ferrari, almost all the models in the Hua Xia market had been handled by Hua Xia experts. At this moment, they were gathered in front of a new car that had just been sent for inspection a few days ago. Each of them looked excited, just like when they were young and personally tested the legendary Mercedes-Benz.
"A work of art!" One of the gray-haired old men sat in the driver's seat and kept giving a thumbs up. "This is the most perfect car I have encountered after testing hundreds of models. When we tested the Tesla before, we were still shocked by their battery management technology. But in front of this Thunderbolt, the Tesla is simply garbage. "
"And this seat massage function, so comfortable that I don't want to get down."
"Master Zhang, you can't say this everywhere, or the foreigners will be anxious." Sitting in the front passenger seat, another engineer who refused to get down to experience the seat massage function laughed.
"Why don't I dare to say it? It's not just the Tesla. In front of the Thunderbolt, I feel that all cars are toys." Master Zhang sighed. "Before, we were still lamenting that although domestic cars have made great progress and made a piece of the sky among the low-end models, they lack a flagship model to carry the cauldron."
"Now, this Thunderbolt will definitely become the flagship of our Hua Xia. When this car is on the market, I must replace that Buick. "
"Look at the shape and position tolerances of these parts, all of which have reached the standard of more than two million supercars. Look at the plasma battery on the car. It has gone beyond my cognition. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an epoch-making technology. "
"My only worry now is that Monster Heavy Industries has set the price of this car too high, and then I can't afford it …"
"Wait, Master Zhang, Master Li, didn't you kill the Thunderbolt car?"
A young engineer standing next to the car door was confused and his eyes were confused. "All the other tests got five stars, but the most important battery was not qualified by you. Why are the two of you praising their battery technology instead? "
"Sigh …" Master Zhang said bitterly, "Monster Heavy Industries is still young after all. They haven't been involved in the car industry and don't understand the rules and regulations in it."
"We are also doing it for their own good." There was another person sitting in the back seat. Master Li, who had been squinting and enjoying himself, opened his eyes wide. "It is not an exaggeration to give this battery technology ten stars, but they …"
Before Master Li could finish his words, a young staff member rushed into the testing area surrounded by a group of people and shouted, "Master Zhang, Master Li, Monster Heavy Industries called. Their manager scolded us for the reason why the Thunderbolt car's battery test failed. Even the Tesla can get a certificate, so why can't they? They want us to give a detailed explanation. "
"This … you can shirk it first. I will call them personally later to explain." Master Zhang looked embarrassed.
Just as he finished speaking, another group of people hurried into the testing area.
This group of people had an awe-inspiring temperament. The man in the lead had a temperament that was completely different from that of ordinary people. They came in and asked without even greeting, "Old Zhang, where is the revolutionary battery you mentioned? Quick, show me. "
