Help all mankind

Chapter 38

The design work of Tieniu X went on smoothly. To put it bluntly, the design was based on a sports car from the beginning, and the exterior was forced to look like a tractor.

The structure of an electric car is not like a traditional car, and the design work is easier.

There are a lot of knowledge in traditional cars. There are engines, transmission mechanisms, and transmission systems, each of which can profoundly affect the overall performance of the car.

Squeeze the performance of these parts to the limit and become a high-end sports car, but because of the cost of research and development, even though the high-end sports car is expensive, it is still a serious loss.

Behind every supercar brand is backed by a large car company. What they look for is honing their technology in this process. Therefore, traditional cars are a field with very high barriers to entry.

The electric car is different. It eliminates all these troubles and replaces it with four independent motors that directly drive four tires.

Therefore, there is no engine, no transmission mechanism, and the speed change is realized by adjusting the current by software.

Traditional cars are desperately improving the performance of each part and dividing the car into high-grade grades. In fact, the gap is also very large, such as the acceleration time of 100 kilometers at the start, energy conversion efficiency, life span, noise and so on.

But electric cars don't have to worry about these problems. Indicators such as acceleration time to 100 kilometers are inherently better than the top sports cars.

Not only that, the four drive motors of electric vehicles can also be directly bought on the market at low prices and high performance, there is not much difference in this regard.

The structure of traditional cars is complex, and it is too difficult to integrate so many complex structures into the car, so the exterior design is also limited.

But electric cars are different. To put it bluntly, the positions of the four driving motors must be pasted next to the wheels, and then free space for the battery. You can design it whatever you want, and you can design the front cover of the car as a storage box.

So we can always see that no matter how low the price of the electric cars already on the market are, they always have a very avant-garde appearance.

The only difficulty of electric vehicles is the battery and battery management technology. Among them, the difficulty of the battery is cost and cost performance.

However, because of the complete industrial chain, electric vehicle batteries can also be purchased casually on the market, including tens of thousands of rechargeable batteries the size of AA batteries bought by the leader Tesla, and then bundled together.

Of course, there are companies that specialize in manufacturing batteries to enter this industry and launch special batteries for electric vehicles.

But in the end, the core difference between electric vehicle companies is power control technology.

This technology can use the precise control of tens of thousands of small batteries and the most reasonable allocation of tasks, allowing the batteries to use more than 30% of their use time.

At the same time, battery and power management systems account for half of the entire electric vehicle cost.

However, Liang Shicheng does not plan to make too many breakthroughs in battery and power management technology in a short time, so he can only choose products and solutions that are readily available on the market.

Since Tie Niu X wants to lower the cost, it must sacrifice many design indicators, which again makes it destined to not be a complete sports car.

In addition to having the same power motor as a sports car, the appearance of Tieniu X is still as simple as a normal tractor. Using the plastic shell formed by the integral mold of the tractor, the cost of this part is no different from that of a normal tractor.

The other is to increase the internal space significantly, and then use cheaper, large-volume, low-capacity batteries. Although there is much more space for battery installation than ordinary electric vehicles, the default 35 km/h energy-saving state, the maximum travel on flat ground is only 120 Kilometers.

The final performance parameters of Tieniu X are set at the initial limit speed of 35 kilometers per hour. Users can perform overclocking operations to increase the maximum speed to 60 kilometers per hour, but the stroke will continue to decrease, but users can also purchase batteries for upgrades. , There is extra space in Tieniu X

Anyway, the appearance is a bit more cyberpunk on the basis of ordinary tractors. It has the potential of drag racing and requires users to explore by themselves.

Of course, the first use of Tieniu X is to cultivate land, and only a simple internal switch is required.

Because of the limited cost of batteries, it still lasts for a long time when plowing the land, which delays labor. This is a problem with all electric tractors.

However, Liang Shicheng intends to find another way to solve this problem and solve the pain points of users.

That is to develop an unmanned farmland system. After the prototype vehicle was completed, Liang Shicheng began to invite farmers to try it out on a small scale, and used the program extraction function of the universal editor for them in the process.

In the end, I got dozens of gigabytes of code. I modified and organized them on the tool software I developed through library files. In addition to Liang Shicheng’s old business, he was originally studying agricultural drones, and he quickly developed it. An all-round automatic farming system came out.

Ever since, Tieniu X can automatically complete farming tasks without requiring a driver.

Although its working hours are very short, when the 6 is out of power, it will run to the charging pile by itself and charge automatically. In addition, the iron cow has a low voice and can plow the land at night.

In this way, there is no need to worry about its battery life problem, because it is automatic work, automatic charging, and work at night, which neither delays labor nor progress.

Even compared to a traditional tractor that only works during the day, it does more work in one day, and it completely saves labor costs.

Unmanned tractors are automatically plowing the land, which seems dangerous, of course, it also requires certain qualifications.

Although they do not have the qualifications for autonomous vehicles and autonomous driving, Liang Shicheng's large agricultural drone company has the qualifications for automatic control of agricultural equipment, and their users also have relevant certificates.

The development process of Tieniu X is very fast, because it is a product after giving up certain indicators. All accessories are readily available on the market. The only core advantage is that it is a tractor equipped with an unmanned driving function and the original company’s accumulation customer of.

The final price is 35,000 yuan, enjoying agricultural equipment subsidies, which is also the highest price that traditional tractors can sell. The profit margin and premium of agricultural products are not high, but the sales volume is not low, which is in line with Liang Shicheng's purpose.

After the launch of Tieniu X, the market met expectations, and what we can only celebrate is that, as expected, many people use this product as a car, and its initial design is just like this, for the convenience of these people.

Liang Shicheng sent someone in the community as a user to upload the overclocking operation tutorial of Tie Niu X and the tutorials after various modifications.

From the results, the response was good. This group of users in the community also uploaded videos of them racing on rural roads at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
