Chapter 371 Just Give Them Some

First, the battery must have sufficient capacity and fast charging speed. It is guaranteed that the car can travel more than a thousand kilometers or even longer after a single charge.

Second, there must be stable enough quality control so that various problems will not arise easily.

Third, it must have basic autonomous driving capabilities, such as cruise control, automatic parking, etc., which must be at least better than other models in the same price range.

Fourth, charging must be convenient enough. In addition to charging piles installed at home, there must also be public charging piles at regular intervals.

…

After a few days, Ning Chen has completed the design work of three different models and planned the future development direction of Xingchen Technology’s automotive business.

After completing these tasks, Ning Chen came to the headquarters of Xingchen Technology Company and prepared to have a good talk with Lu Minghao about this matter.

Knowing that Ning Chen was waiting for him in his office, Lu Minghao quickly put aside the work at hand and came to the office.

"Mr. Ning, you are here."

Ning Chen doesn't come to the Star Technology headquarters very often. If he does, it's usually because of something big.

Especially Ning Chen's attitude today, it seemed like he had some big things to explain to himself.

Sure enough, after chatting with Lu Minghao for a few words, Ning Chen started talking about the controllable nuclear fusion project.

"Manager Lu, I have already sorted out the follow-up plans for the controllable nuclear fusion project. From now on, we will continue research and development in this direction. It is estimated that in another five to ten years, we will hopefully achieve a major breakthrough..."

After receiving the plan sent by Ning Chen, Lu Minghao immediately checked it.

It has to be said that Ning Chen is really very advanced and rigorous in the design of scientific research plans. Although Lu Minghao cannot immediately understand all of Ning Chen's design ideas, he has already experienced some of Ning Chen's design wonders.

Of course, Lu Minghao is not a purely technical person. Since starting the Xingchen OS system with Ning Chen, Lu Minghao has gradually shifted the focus of his work to the direction of management.

Without rushing to think about all the technical details, Lu Minghao first checked the project's capital consumption.

It doesn't matter at first glance. The financial consumption of follow-up projects of controllable nuclear fusion turns out to be another huge figure.

"Mr. Ning, this capital consumption is a bit too much for us. It can be tolerated in the short term. If this continues for a long time, even if the entire company is hollowed out, we may not be able to continue the project..."

Lu Minghao had a very good understanding of Xingchen Technology's company situation and quickly came to such an analysis conclusion.

Ning Chen was naturally aware of this situation. He did not rush to refute Lu Minghao's point of view, but said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Manager Lu, this is just the first thing I came to see you about today. Now I will tell you the second thing..."

With that said, Ning Chen took out the new energy vehicle he had designed in the past few days and showed it to Lu Minghao.

Seeing these three cars designed by Ning Chen, Lu Minghao immediately guessed what Ning Chen was thinking.

Speaking of which, Lu Minghao was not surprised that Ning Chen was able to come up with a very complete design plan at once. For Lu Minghao, this was already a kind of "aesthetic fatigue".

After briefly browsing through Ning Chen's design plans, Lu Minghao began to feel excited.

"Mr. Ning, judging from the current situation of our Xingchen Technology, expanding our business in the field of new energy vehicles is indeed a very suitable choice. As long as we are willing, we are fully capable of making the best new energy vehicles in the world... "

After confirming Ning Chen's ideas, Lu Minghao also raised some of his concerns.

"Mr. Ning, there still needs to be a certain transition period from the beginning of the project to profitability. If the profit cycle of the project is too long, not only will it not be able to help the controllable nuclear fusion project, but it will also become a burden for the company..."

Lu Minghao's concerns are not unreasonable. Although Xingchen Technology is already one of the world's top technology companies, after all, new energy vehicles are a brand-new business. It is difficult to occupy a part of the market from the beginning. It is more likely to take many years. Only by developing can we become mature bit by bit.

However, Ning Chen didn't seem to be worried about these problems and said confidently:

"Manager Lu, this is not a problem. In the many years of development of Xingchen Technology, all the projects we have experienced have been started from scratch. We can make things better than Android system, The Windows system makes better mobile phone systems and computer systems, and makes better chips than Intel and Fruit Company. There is nothing that we at Xingchen Technology cannot do..."

After Ning Chen's examples, Lu Minghao gradually became as confident as Ning Chen, believing that they could indeed quickly occupy part of the world's automobile market.

"Mr. Ning, do you have any ideas about car brands and trademarks?"

After hearing Lu Minghao's question, Ning Chen thought for a while and said:

"Let's just call it 'Xingchen Auto'. Anyway, they are all products developed by our Xingchen Technology. There is no need to have so many different names. I also have a rough idea about the logo of the car. I will design the logo when I go back." Do it carefully."

Since Ning Chen has completed the car design work by himself, Ning Chen won't mind if he spends a little more time to solve the problem of the car logo.

After talking to Lu Minghao about everything today, Ning Chen was about to go back to deal with the car logo design.

At this moment, Lu Minghao suddenly said:

"By the way, Mr. Ning, NASA previously wanted us to provide some lunar soil samples for them to study. Do you think... how should this matter be handled?"

Hearing Lu Minghao's words, Ning Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

According to normal thinking, NASA had cooperated with the FBI in planning the "abandoned satellite" incident.

Although that incident did not cause substantial harm to Ning Chen in the end, and was even just a part of Ning Chen's plan, it was indeed intended to threaten Ning Chen's life.

Of course, Ning Chen knew in his heart that there was no grudge between NASA and himself, and he was doing all this just to obey the orders of the FBI.

No matter what Ning Chen thinks about NASA, at least on the surface, there is no need for Ning Chen to break the relationship between the two families.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen said to Lu Minghao:

"Then just give them 10g of lunar soil samples. But I have to personally screen these 10g of lunar soil samples."

Naturally, Ning Chen could not give NASA a particularly important part of the soil sample so that they could discover materials with high research and development value, such as "new titanium alloys."

Therefore, Ning Chen needed to screen out some samples with little research and development value among these lunar soil samples before he could safely send them out.

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Lu Minghao suddenly understood what Ning Chen was thinking, and his expression couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, let's wait until your work allows you to select these 10g lunar soil samples, and we will send them to NASA."

After chatting with Lu Minghao, Ning Chen went with Lu Minghao to the laboratory where Xingchen Technology stored lunar soil samples.

Here, there are dozens of kilograms of lunar soil samples. If you take away 10g from these soil samples, you will not even find any difference.

Despite this, Ning Chen still would not send out lunar soil samples casually. Instead, he used Xiaozhi's information retrieval function to detect these soil samples.

Immediately, Ning Chen pointed to a soil sample and said to Lu Minghao:

"Just select 10g from this soil sample and send it to NASA."

Lu Minghao was a little surprised that Ning Chen was able to complete the screening of soil samples so quickly, but Lu Minghao didn't ask any more questions and immediately asked someone to extract the lunar soil samples.

"Mr. Ning, these are 10.01g of soil in total."

"Well, it doesn't matter if you give me an extra 0.01g, that's all."

Ning Chen did not forget to confirm the information of these soil samples again. Apart from being able to confirm that these soil samples came from the moon, it was difficult to detect too much valuable information in them.

After completing this work, Ning Chen could finally return home with peace of mind.

Returning to his familiar study room, Ning Chen turned on the computer and prepared to design the logo of Xingchen Car.

This was the first time Ning Chen designed such a non-scientific research plan, which gave Ning Chen the illusion that he was a designer.

Compared with scientific research issues, although the design of car logos seems simple, it is not that easy to design a simple and deeply rooted car logo.

Ning Chen didn't want to think too complicated, so he directly designed the pattern of stars with the theme of "stars", and based on this, he highlighted the theme features of the universe and stars.

After some revision and polishing, Ning Chen was quite satisfied with his design.

"Since it is an artistic design... I don't need to go to Xiaozhi for evaluation." Ning Chenxin said.

Although Xiaozhi is a very powerful artificial intelligence, its abilities do not involve art-related fields. This is also a weakness of artificial intelligence, because art itself does not have rigorous thinking logic.

Ning Chen sent the car logo plan he designed to Lu Minghao for internal discussion within the company to evaluate how well his plan was designed.

When everyone saw the car logo scheme designed by Ning Chen, they all reacted in amazement.

"This plan is very consistent with the theme of 'stars'. Although it looks very simple, it has a profound sense of the universe. It is an excellent car logo."

"I didn't expect Mr. Ning to have such profound attainments in art. It's true that geniuses can make great achievements in various fields."

"I really can't think of any other design scheme that can fit the theme so well and at the same time be simple and clear, and contain an artistic flavor."

Although everyone's reaction may contain a certain amount of flattery, the affirmation of Ning Chen's design is genuine.

With the formal determination of various plans, the "Star Car" project has entered into preparations, and will only be officially made public when the time is right.

On the other hand, Xingchen Technology also donated 10g of lunar soil samples to NASA in accordance with Ning Chen’s previous instructions.

After receiving the lunar soil samples sent by Xingchen Technology, everyone at NASA was a little unbelievable at first. After all, the relationship between the two families was not good before. Not only did they not have direct contact, they were even close to each other behind the scenes.

Of course, NASA is still very friendly on the surface. NASA has publicly sent congratulatory messages to Xingchen Technology for several previous successful space missions.

Perhaps it is these reasons that allow Xingchen Technology to be so generous this time.

However, when they learned that Xingchen Technology only sent them 10g of lunar samples this time, NASA also felt a little disappointed.

"Xingchen Technology went to the moon twice and brought back lunar soil samples weighing tens of kilograms... But they only gave us a pitiful 10g lunar soil sample."

Some people even think that this donation of lunar soil samples by Xingchen Technology is a "humiliation" for NASA.

Because according to information released by Xingchen Technology, they have donated several kilograms of lunar soil samples. Even the quantity of soil samples sent to some Xiaguo universities is more than 10g.

But after all, America has not landed on the moon for a long time, and the most recent lunar soil samples are from decades ago. Therefore, NASA actually attaches great importance to the lunar soil samples sent by Xingchen Technology.

"A 10g soil sample is a lot. The lunar soil sample we sent to Xia Guo at that time was only 1g. Didn't they still study some good results? Don't worry about so much and hurry up and analyze these soil samples. Do your research..."

From the appearance, this soil sample is indeed different from the Blue Star soil sample, but as to whether this is really a soil sample from the moon, a more precise conclusion can only be drawn after testing.

After receiving the soil samples, NASA first publicly expressed its gratitude to Xia Guo Space Agency and Xingchen Technology on their official social platform, and then began to study these soil samples.

After a few days, they came to some preliminary conclusions.

"Sir, we have not drawn any breakthrough conclusions among these soil samples. Most of the components in this soil sample are not much different from the soil of Blue Star..."

Upon hearing such a conclusion, NASA officials couldn't help but frown.

"So...these soil samples do not come from the moon at all, but are just some soil samples randomly dug out from the blue star?"
