Chapter 113 Welcome to the Future
In the center of the hope company's online conference hall, an image of a new car from Raytheon Railcar Company floats.

Lao Zuo is introducing the details of the new car.

"The rail car 'Spark' has a higher comfort configuration than our Swift. The minimum configuration is equipped with multi-temperature zone air-conditioning, adaptive flexible seats, and an active noise reduction system. When flying at full speed, the noise inside the car will not Above 50 decibels."

Lin Yuan frowned: "Interesting."

Lao Zuo stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the image of the rail car, and the new car was dispersed into functional modules one by one.

He reached out and pulled the power module in front of him. After quickly peeling off the accessories, he dragged out the engine wrapped inside: "Look at this array engine, do you think it looks familiar?"

Lao De sighed lightly: "This is our civet engine. It's nothing more than changing the details of the appearance."

Disregarding the principle of taking patents is the housekeeping skill of Lihuo Industry.

Of course you can go to the commercial court of the Nanli coalition government to sue him for infringement.

But he has a big family and a big business, not only has a huge team of lawyers, but also has ass deals with many justices in the court, so he is not afraid of you suing.

If you don't do it well, you will be bitten back.

Lao Zuo looked very calm, but there was a trace of anger in his eyes: "Yes, the core structure is exactly the same as our civet engine, but because it is the result of reverse engineering, many key parameters are not fully understood, so the performance is about 10 times worse than ours. %. But that's not the point."

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up another module.

"Look at this, the fusion-type deformable wing, with a deformation speed of 5 seconds, can selectively expand and retract the fixed wing according to the speed of the vehicle. When combined with the civet engine, it can save 30% to 50% of propellant consumption. This means So, with the same propellant consumption, it can fly 30% more distance than our Swift.”

Lao De added a sentence next to it: "Based on the average use time of 1500 hours a year, our Swift car will cost 3000 star crystals a year just to buy argon gas, while this spark only needs a little more than 2000 .”

The core pain point for car owners who choose railcars at this price is the economy of use.

As for the pursuit of driving pleasure, safety, and comfort, all must stand back.

The current situation is that the comfort configuration of the Spark car is higher than that of the Swift, and the safety configuration is not bad. It also saves propellant, and the sacrifice is only a little bit of driving pleasure.

Everyone knows how to choose.

The situation is very obvious, this spark rail car was developed for Swift.

In contrast, the Swift car has no competitiveness at all.

Lin Yuan asked, "So, what's the latest sales situation?"

Maner immediately reported the detailed data: "In the 60 minutes after the launch of the Spark, the number of the Spark car sold reached 2300, while our Swift only sold one. According to the after-sales feedback, those who have already bought our Swift car Of the car owners, 1% are still satisfied, 10% regret it, and 50% even ask us to give financial compensation."

Well, with Lihuo Company's move, the hopeful cake was directly snatched away.

Selling one car per hour, up to 1 cars a day, is not even enough to pay the electricity bill to keep the production line running.

The current situation is that every minute the production line is running, it loses every minute, plus the wages and benefits of hundreds of company employees, the rent of the production area, equipment loss and other costs, it will lose at least 1 million a day.

It's really a loss to grandma's house.

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

He pulled over the list of spark car accessories and looked at them one by one. After a few minutes, he asked: "A spark car costs [-] yuan, but the accessories cost at least [-] yuan. This is a loss for selling one car.”

Lao De nodded: "Yes, it means selling one car at a loss, but he can afford it. As long as our rail car business is squeezed out, he will find an excuse to raise the price. The money lost now can be made back in the future." .”

Lihuo Industry has done similar routines more than once. Everyone knows his tricks, but the general public has no memory, and no one can resist the temptation of cheap cars.

After all, no one's money comes from the wind, and it is best to use every penny wisely.

Lao Zuo didn't panic, he looked at Lin Yuan: "Have we finished the corresponding product?"

Lin Yuan smiled: "Of course it's done."

As early as when the high-speed printing technology was announced, he had already thought about the follow-up measures, and he probably foresaw the situation today.The only thing that was a bit surprising was that he didn't expect that Lihuo Industry would end in person so soon.

But it doesn't matter, in the face of Spark, the new products he prepared still have sufficient market competitiveness.

He raised his hand and handed a compressed data package to Man'er: "It contains our new products. Let everyone have a look."

Maner immediately read out the new product information and displayed it in the center of the conference hall.

This is a strange thing, the size of an ordinary safe, and the surface material looks like gold but not gold, plastic but not plastic. At first glance, it seems to be liquid, but when you look closely, it looks like a mirror.

Anyway, very weird.

Lao Zuo read the title word by word: "'Magician' track car standard modification kit version 1.0. Huh, isn't it a new car? Is it just a modification kit?"

"Yes, it's just a modification kit. Not only can our new car be used in the future, but the Swift car that is still sold can also be perfectly adapted. By the way, I also left him a lot of room for upgrading."

"Oh~~~So that's the case."

Lao Zuo understood a little bit, he continued to look down, his eyes gradually brightened: "Interesting~~tsk tsk~~ really interesting~~~Lin Yuan, your idea is really amazing, hahaha~"

He couldn't help laughing.

Lao De is also watching, but what he is looking at is not the detailed technical parameters, but the specific functions of this kit.

"Superconducting motors, fusion-type deformable wings, high-strength transmission shafts, semi-fluid tires, personalized custom modules. Lin Yuan, are you planning to turn the Swift car into a Transformer?"

"Exactly."

"Looks, it seems pretty cool, but what about the economics?"

"I've done the math. After the transformation wing is blessed, 1500 star crystals a year's usage fee is enough. If the other party really cares about money and can't afford argon gas, it can also be driven on the ground as an electric car."

The electricity bill in Yuegang is very cheap, and the electric car is driven 24 hours a day without stopping, and the annual electricity bill will not exceed 200 star crystals.

Therefore, this modification kit reduces the economy of the vehicle to the extreme at once.

That is to say, on the track of cost of use, Lin Yuan came to an end in no time. No matter how hard others struggle, they can only imitate, but cannot surpass.

This time, Lao De completely understood.

His eyes lit up suddenly: "So, our Swift has become an air-land integrated vehicle?"

'Bada~'

Lin Yuan snapped his fingers: "Yes, air-land integration! Just use this slogan!"

Lao De excitedly slapped his thigh hard: "This idea is really perfect. With this thing, the cost of using the rail car has dropped to the limit!"

Think about it, usually when you drive an electric car, you save costs.

If you encounter a traffic jam on the ground, or a place that the ground cannot reach, or simply want to make a comparison, you will turn into a rail car and fly away.

This scene, just thinking about it, feels wonderful!

But soon, Lao De thought of a new question: "What if Raytheon continues to copy us?"

The other party continues to copy, and then fights a price war, they still can't afford it.

Lin Yuan smiled: "My transformation kit involves mechanical transmission parts. This thing is a bit technical, but it's not that easy to copy. When he finishes copying it, I will have a follow-up trick on my side to ensure that he will always follow us. fart."

With these words, Lao De was relieved, and he waved his fist excitedly: "Haha~ Time is money! Let's do it! Lao Zuo, is there a problem with production?"

Lao Zuo laughed and scolded: "The production process has been written directly, there is a fart problem. Give me half an hour to debug the production line. After half an hour, I will get the finished product."

Everything is ready.

Lao De couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahaha~ Have fun! Fuck those robbers to death!"

He immediately contacted the company's publicity department to start building momentum for the new product.

I hope that the salary of the company is very high, and the enthusiasm of the employees is naturally high. After about 20 minutes, a cool holographic promotional video was produced.

At the same time, Lao Zuo also finished the production process of the new product, and soon, the first mature modification kit rolled off the production line.

As a result, a new product appeared in Hope's online store.

"'Magician' standard modification kit version 1.0."

Price: 500 Star Crystals (This product is suitable for all rail cars produced by Hope Company.)
How to use: After connecting to the car brain, it will automatically adapt to the car body.

Effect 1: Fine-tuning the aerodynamic layout of the body with speed can reduce propellant consumption by 50%.

Effect 2: Air-land integration!

Effect 3: Personalized modified body details (I hope the official provides 100 kinds of modification schemes, and the owner can also use the company's free software to design independently.)
The holographic promotional video is released along with the new product.

The protagonist of the image is a Swift rail car.

After the kit is installed, the shell of the Swift track car seems to have turned into a liquid, sometimes flying at high speed in the sky, and sometimes galloping on the ground.

Its appearance and style are ever-changing, sometimes wild, sometimes lazy, sometimes cute, sometimes powerful, ever-changing, without a fixed trend.

At the end of the video, Lin Yuan appeared.

He leaned against the side of the Swift car, staring at the audience, his eyes were like the sea, with a faint smile on his face, and said in a unique tone: "Welcome to the future."

　Ah~ I didn't expect it to be on the shelves today, and I didn't have any preparations~~ahah~~~
