"What's your plan for the road plan?" Lu Zixin asked.
Dongfang Hao said matter-of-factly, "Maglev lanes, of course. All over the country. As for how, I don't care. I'm only in charge of research and development. "
He threw the question back at him without any sense of responsibility. Lu Zixin didn't dare ask him to be in charge. Dongfang Hao had no concept of money. Other than machinery, he didn't know much about other aspects.
If he were in charge, he would probably use the simplest method, which was to throw money at it! Building maglev lanes all over the country wasn't something that could be done with hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions. It might take hundreds of billions!
Lu Zixin pondered. He had to think of another way.
He said, "Send me the data on maglev lanes."
"Okay!" Dongfang Hao immediately sent the information to Lu Zixin's smart glasses for him to check.
Maglev lanes were much easier to build compared to maglev cars. They only needed to lay one to two centimeters of induction boards on the roads. These induction boards could be laid on regular roads like asphalt concrete.
In terms of manufacturing difficulty, it was much easier than building maglev train tracks. The cost was also much lower. Ordinary city roads could be modified and paved.
However, Lu Zixin needed more than that. The maglev cars faced a huge problem: power supply!
Maintaining the maglev cars' buoyancy required a lot of energy, which would lead to poor endurance. Therefore, when laying maglev lanes, he wanted to add an electrical system so that the lanes could generate induction electric fields.
When maglev cars drove on these lanes, they could charge wirelessly through induction batteries. The result was that the cars didn't need any charging stations. They could drive on the road. It was more convenient and didn't have to worry about endurance.
"Apart from that, it seems like we can add intelligent multimedia … Now that I think about it, there are more things to do." Lu Zixin remembered the suggestion that the engineers had made when they were building the autonomous cars.
Since the cars were autonomous, the passengers could be freed from the labor of driving. The cars were upgraded from a transportation tool to a mobile intelligent carrier.
Similarly, the roads could be intelligent. Adding all these together, the cost of the roads would increase.
…
At home, Su Zhirong suggested, "We definitely won't be able to build the roads on our own. Let's find the city construction department or a road construction company to work with."
She was wearing a casual white T-shirt and a pair of loose shorts. She sat cross-legged on the sofa and was eating dried fruits.
"If the investment is too big, I'm afraid not many companies will be willing." Lu Zixin shook his head. "We have to let them see the dividends."
"Hmm?" Su Zhirong turned her head, thought for a moment, and said, "If we want them to take the initiative to invest in the construction, we have to give them some benefits. What benefits are there to give up on the path of maglev? "
"Vehicle media!" Lu Zixin was the first to speak. "Vehicle media services. This is a considerable profit."
"I don't think the road construction company is interested in car media services, right?" Su Zhirong said. "I think we can leave the wireless charging to them."
Currently, most of the cars on the world's roads were powered by fossil fuels. Electric scooters were relatively rare. However, with the development of alternative energy vehicles, the car charging business was gradually developing as well.
If the maglev roads were built, wireless charging could be realized, and this business would definitely be charged. If there were enough maglev cars, this business would have a lot of potential.
"This is a good idea. The charging station business is profitable. Not to mention private companies, even state-owned enterprises and city construction departments will be interested. "Lu Zixin nodded.
How much can Huaxia Petroleum and Huaxia Petrochemical make in a year? They are all extremely wealthy state-owned enterprises. If alternative energy vehicles replace fossil fuel vehicles in the future, then the car charging business will also be a big source of income.
"The most important thing is to show evidence to make these companies and government departments believe. In the future, our maglev cars and alternative energy vehicles will become popular on the road! " Su Zhirong concluded. "As long as we prove it to them, we don't need to propose building maglev roads. They will rush to build it themselves."
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. Since this project is so difficult, let them build it. " Lu Zixin also understood. Relying on the power of Hongxin Group to complete such a large infrastructure project was simply overestimating themselves. They did not know how much money and how long would it take to transform the roads in the country?
But if the cities in the country took the initiative to transform, then this matter would be much simpler. As for the additional value of maglev roads, let them have it. Pengyun Automobile has mastered the core technology of maglev cars and smart cars. Are they afraid that they will not be able to make money?
"Little Su Su, you are really my good wife." Lu Zixin leaned over and kissed Su Zhirong's face.
"You made a lot of money!" Su Zhirong pretended to be proud and said.
"Yes, the company is troubling you with so many things. Can you handle it?" Lu Zixin asked.
"Even if I can't handle it, I still have to do it!" Mentioning this, a bit of fatigue appeared on Su Zhirong's face. She sighed. "Our group is developing too fast. The faster we develop, the more problems we face. And every time, we have to deal with a big matter. It is tiring. "
"I will give you a massage." Lu Zixin carried her up and put her on the sofa. He gently massaged her shoulders and back.
"Fortunately, we have Hong Xiaoxiao. Now, smart cars can solve a lot of problems." Su Zhirong said. "Otherwise, I can't even take a day off."
"Hmm." Lu Zixin nodded and said, "I will go back and study it again. I will let Hong Xiaoxiao learn about the management of the company. In the future, we will upgrade the management of the company to smart management."
"We will only make the big decisions. Some of the small steps will be handled by the AI. In addition, the Hongxin subsidiary company that is already operating independently only needs to follow the general direction of the company. You don't have to work too hard. "
…
Pengyun Automobile's maglev car has already overcome some problems and entered the stage of high-speed research and development. In order to cooperate with the maglev car and attract some companies to be interested in the maglev smart road, Pengyun Automobile planned to release some news to warm up the market.
At a recent large-scale auto show in a certain city, Pengyun Automobile displayed a concept virtual projection of a maglev car, indicating that it was developing this concept of maglev car and hoped to build a brand-new intelligent maglev road to cooperate with the use of maglev car.
