Monster Factory

As soon as the car landed at the airport, it was transported by a large truck to Tesla headquarters.

Martin, a 50-year-old CEO this year, himself welcomed the arrival of a torpedo car in the underground parking lot at Headquarters.

Even before that, Martin had seen a number of videos related to lightning cars, as well as a number of HD interior detail pictures coming from Huaxia.

When you really see a torpedo car, you have to marvel at the fact that even engineers come from Martin, who is used to the world's advanced industrial technology. It's so perfect that it doesn't look like a streamline industrial product, but rather like a piece of fine metal carved art.

This lightning truck right in front of you, just the gap between the shells, can make a bunch of engineers next to Martin uncomfortable, and their products, compared to this, can have a bigger gap than the tooth seam of the toothpaste.

Tesla doesn't look stunning, and Martin-led teams are positioning their products to focus more on home functionality.

Practical and beautiful, doesn't seem to coexist.

The pursuit of pragmatism requires compromise towards a comfortable space structure. In pursuit of beauty, refer to the overrun design and lower the membership space.

However, with a cool look in front of him, driving back in the street with an absolute 100% science fiction car, pulling the door open instantly and staring at a group of foreigners who were focused on the automobile industry.

What a spacious space!

The height of this car is as high as a regular home sedan, but the door opens and sits inside, giving people a feeling of being in a SUV, especially comfortable and spacious.

After a half-day of detailed investigation, Martin and the others discovered that the chassis of the original torpedo car was unusually simple, without the messy pipeline of the fuel car, the transmission, and the electric car with the same heavy battery chassis as the bank vault.

Its chassis does not appear to contain batteries at all, even the tire steering mechanism and shock-absorbing suspension are extremely simple.

At the same time, the seats inside the torpedo cars are much thinner than the traditional cars, saving a lot of space, but they are more comfortable than the seats in any car.

“For no reason, the chassis of this car is only a third our thickness, how does it hold batteries? ”

“It is possible that a portion of the battery is placed in the front hatch.” Someone opened the front hatch of the torpedo and found that there was a large storage compartment inside, which opened the trunk and this was still the case.

Traditional automobiles have heavy engines on their heads, but electric cars are not needed, so you can also leave a storage box in the head position.

“The battery was only in the chassis, and it took Tesla five years to develop a battery management technology that was proud of the world. We used 7,000 18,650 lithium batteries in series into Tesla's energy group. ”

“Doesn't make sense. This car can do better than us. ”

Chief Executive Officer Martin's heart poured with dissatisfaction, five years of hard work, dozens of engineers who had already done the world's best. And to be the shiniest new star in the automotive industry, it makes no sense that today's glory will be taken away by a technology company that starts with industrial equipment.

From the age of thirty to today, Tesla has been transformed into a giant, innovator in the automotive market. He was the only one who knew the hard work and effort during this period, and Martin absolutely didn't believe that a torpedo car could do better than he did.

Certainly in some ways, beyond Tesla, Martin is acceptable. Automobiles are a fairly complex industrial product, not even as powerful as Tesla.

For example, that smart little assistant, Martin admitted that it was very interesting, and he couldn't compare himself.

As to whether those unseen details are better, only a little test can be taken apart.

Tens of minutes later, the torpedo was transferred to the testing laboratory. Martin was there himself, and he wanted to see what was in the torpedo car.

The laboratory is about 2,000 square meters, has a speed table, collision test runway, and there are three warehouses on the south side, where you can simulate the high and low temperature working environment of the car and the water involved test.

“Prepare the image recording and mark all parts disassembled.” Martin snapped a finger at the busy engineers and then went into the driver's cab of the thunder truck.

CEO Martin was instructed to activate the torpedo car with a key. The translucent assistant also jumped out when the car's central control screen was reawakened.

“Oops, master, I can't detect the GPS positioning module. Without the positioning module, our navigation function will not be available, and it looks like we will have to make a trip to the post sale center. ”

Martin sets the language to English and then binds the owner to himself. After figuring out what the little assistant said, he smiled softly, and the GPS module was naturally touched by them.

“You and Tesla are better than who?” Martin holds his chin and measures this little assistant with a strange look.

“Master, of course I am better, I have the advantage over Tesla...”

“Wait, master, I'm detecting someone removing my tire. Master, is that your order?” The smart little assistant immediately changed a lightning model, and the model's left front tire kept flashing red circles.

“Yeah, I don't think you're as good as Tesla, so I'm gonna tear you down.” Martin said with some disgust.

His voice had just fallen, and his assistant was anxious to remind someone that the rear wheel was being removed.

Martin was indifferent, watching the engineers outside, tearing apart a piece of the torpedo car with a tool. At the end of the day, only a bare chassis was left in the torpedo, and they didn't even fly away from the shock absorption hanging.

Martin and a bunch of engineers, standing in front of the chassis of the torpedo car, remained silent for half a day without a word.

They guessed well that the torpedo had been completely disassembled, but the engineers had not found any batteries in the pile. This means that its battery can only be in the chassis. But Martin was the first to disbelieve the battery in front of this chassis less than five centimeters thick.

“BOSS, weighing and weighing this chassis is only 400 kilograms, twice as light as our Tesla, which is against science. ”

“Remove the chassis.” The equally unbelieving Martin waved.

Upon receiving the order, an engineer immediately walked forward with a precision activation tool. After several shots of "protrusion ~” sound, the upper case of the chassis was removed, revealing eight silver-white metal objects that lay flat inside.

Is this a battery?

Martin felt stabbed in the head with a wooden stick, stirring it up, like, their Tesla battery, with over 7,000 small batteries in series. These batteries are made up of sixteen sets of battery modules, encapsulated with sealed fireproof materials, separated by metal beams between each set of batteries, each with ultrasonic welding technology and welded with overloaded fused protective wire. There are also complex battery management units, battery liquid cooling lines, battery heating lines, etc.

The battery heats first in winter and cools down in summer, providing ultimate protection.

Their battery packs alone have dozens of technological patents, especially the world's number one battery management technology.

Eight metal plates for lightning batteries now?

“BOSS, the silver-white metal enclosure on the battery appears to be a protective layer without any removable screws. ”

“Then cut it in cold cut, and I'll see what that plasma battery looks like. ”

“OK." The engineers immediately replaced the cutting equipment, sharpened the knife Jojodi, and lifted the plasma battery sealed in the Nickel-Titanium Memory Alloy protective housing onto the workbench.
