I handed over to another world

Chapter 439 Maglev Project Team
Chen Lin only left here in the afternoon. The new design of the portal that the young man made before has already taken shape. After seeing it, Chen Lin felt that it was very feasible. At least it had a higher utilization rate than the current portal, and at the same time, it was also feasible. It can save many unnecessary journeys, so he simply modified it and reported it to the association.

He is not worried at all that the portal will have any problems because of this. The association is far more concerned about it than him. They will definitely carefully consider and verify the reported plans before they are officially used.

Chen Lin did not return to Origin Star. In the afternoon, he went to the pre-arranged maglev project team. Xiao Wu had already contacted them in advance, and someone would contact them as soon as they arrived at the scene.

"Welcome, Mr. Chen, your coming here really makes my place shine!"

A middle-aged man with an uncontrollable smile on his face said to Chen Lin: "I heard that you are coming today, so I specially asked all the department personnel to come..."

"No need to do this, let them do what they have to do."

Chen Lin glanced at the people lined up in the distance. Many of them were scientific researchers. He felt a little unhappy at the moment. He frowned slightly and said, "I don't like such a big formation. Didn't Xiao Wu tell you?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Wu as if asking for help. After getting the exact answer, he quickly waved his hand to signal those people to disperse.

Chen Lin stood there and watched the people gradually disperse. After staring for a while, he said to the man next to him: "This is my first time here. You will know next time that I don't like it." It’s too lively and deliberately arranged, so it’s better to keep it low-key.”

"They are all scientific researchers and should continue to work in their respective positions. Don't change everything just because of my arrival and make everyone unhappy."

"What Mr. Chen taught you is..."

The middle-aged man is very aware of how special the identity of the young man in front of him is. The project team he is currently working on is engaged in room temperature superconducting magnetic levitation, and the source of these things is another planet. The young man in front of him is opening the door to those How could he not treat the personnel at the planet gate with caution?

In addition, Chen Lin is also the person in charge of the teleportation department and the Anyun base on the Origin Star, and he has the rank of senior colonel... With a bunch of titles, the man really has to take it seriously.

The previous queue to welcome was actually the simplest.

"Stop talking so much nonsense, let's lead the team from the front."

Chen Lin's face returned to its previous expression and he looked at the man: "The main purpose of my coming today is to see the maglev car we developed ourselves. This is the key."

"Understood! Mr. Chen, please come with me."

……

The group of people followed the man along the stairs and entered the second-floor area. When they entered, they saw a huge open space, and above the open space were dozens of maglev cars that were being tested.

The designs of these maglev vehicles are very sci-fi aesthetic, with a silver-white streamlined design. The four positions of the car that were originally tires have been replaced with round rolling ball devices. The entire car is similar to a sports car, and the cab is huge. Glass, the vehicle is clearly divided into upper and lower levels.

Chen Lin was not very interested in cars before, so he couldn't describe in words the feeling that this maglev car brought to him. The only most intuitive thing is that this kind of thing is indeed very beautiful, at least it makes him feel very beautiful. It's not bad.

"This is the maglev car we are currently developing. We temporarily call it the [White Dragon] model internally."

Chen Lin smiled after hearing the man's words: "Not everything is called XX dragon."

"We are the Red Dragon Association after all, so a name like this is quite representative."

Chen Lin did not refute the man's words. He looked at the maglev cars in front of him that were undergoing "flight" tests. Their turns and driving were extremely smooth. There was nothing in the air, but they could levitate in the air and accelerate quickly and brake suddenly. , enough to see the magic of this magnetism.

"What is the principle behind these things?"

"It's almost the same as before... Our project team used room-temperature superconducting materials to build a magnetic levitation engine. This kind of thing is not currently mass-produced and can only be used in experimental models."

"This kind of engine is very special. It can change the direction and magnitude of an individual's power in a constant magnetic field. The entire car body is designed to match the engine. A set of circuits and software systems are used to control the direction and magnitude of the power to ensure that It can complete operations such as suspension, direction change, acceleration, braking, etc.”

Chen Lin nodded slightly and asked aloud: "Why don't you study the direction of changing the direction and intensity of the environmental magnetic field?"

"We also made some attempts at that, but it was much more difficult than the current one, so we gave up using this technology and instead used a special engine."

Chen Lin noticed that a maglev car was slowly approaching the parking position on the second floor. A group of scientific researchers and maintenance workers rushed over. They quickly connected to the vehicle with various equipment. In the middle of the gag, and then began to discuss in a hurry.

Chen Lin took two steps forward. He took a closer look at the maglev car called Bailong and found that the material on it seemed to be something he had seen before.

"Can I try?"

As soon as Chen Lin saw the vehicle parked there, he couldn't help but ask. Before the man responded, Xiao Wu had already spoken out: "Colonel Chen, these are experimental maglev vehicles. They are inherently safe. It’s not completely confirmed yet. For your safety, it’s best not to try it in person.”

The man on the side could see Xiao Wu winking at him crazily, and immediately understood what was going on. He immediately responded to Xiao Wu's words and said: "Yes... yes, Mr. Chen, these things are now considered special types of vehicles. All of our personnel who went up there have received special training and are wearing special power armor to prevent accidents."

"You'd better not test it yourself, let's just stand on it and take a look."

Xiao Wu stepped forward and spoke to Chen Lin seriously. Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and then sighed helplessly: "Okay then."

Chen Lin glanced at the maglev car not far away. This thing uses normal temperature superconducting materials to make the engine device. It is driven by all electricity. A simple charge is enough for it to drive normally for a long time. It has been It can be regarded as the black technology among black technologies. "Has Fuxi AI been used for this?"

"Of course!"

The man nodded, "The use of Fuxi AI can make the control very precise and stable. After all, it is the most intelligent AI we have. The spatial positioning and path planning of this thing are temporarily beyond the reach of human beings. The speed of response and real-time route planning will be very important for these maglev vehicles."

Chen Lin nodded in agreement. AI can indeed do many things that humans cannot do, such as dividing hierarchical areas, confirming possible routes, speed, alternatives, execution, event processing, etc. Fuxi AI’s super High computing power and intelligence can do these things perfectly. When full intelligence becomes popular, Fuxi AI will show its unique charm on more platforms and in more fields.

This is the general trend.

The man and Chen Lin walked slowly along the second floor area. While looking at the maglev cars that were still being tested, they whispered: "The truth is that transportation convenience affects economic development. In fact, it also affects economic development." Culture, technology, etc.”

"With the use of this superconducting engine, urban transportation will become more convenient than ever before. Because maglev vehicles do not occupy ground transportation, many places can be freed up for other things. This is also of great benefit to our future urban planning. Manipulative."

"Coupled with the extremely low operating and environmental costs of superconducting engines, if all public and private transportation in the city are driven by superconducting engines, the cost and cost of travel will be further reduced, which will have a great impact on the development of our entire society. It has a huge positive effect.”

Chen Lin and the man walked a short distance away on the second floor. He saw a huge car parked there from a distance. The man naturally noticed it and quickly came out and explained: "That is also our experimental vehicle. , we are not only building cars, we are also planning to build large buses and freight vehicles...but it seems that the implementation of the plan is not going smoothly. "

Chen Lin looked at him with a smile and said, "Just take your time. Nothing comes out of thin air. The maglev car project can be advanced, but I personally don't think maglev trucks are of much use."

"Oh?"

The man was a little dazed, and he asked subconsciously: "What do you mean, Mr. Chen?"

"We now have a dazzling variety of military aircraft models. I feel that some of them are highly repetitive. At that time, we can consider converting some of them for civilian use."

After Chen Lin finished speaking, the man was stunned for several seconds.

"This... seems to be a way out."

"The thrusters used by military aircraft can actually be considered clean energy, and some of them are similar to magnetic levitation technology. If you have the chance, you can study it..."

No one interrupted. The two of them walked and discussed the details about the aircraft and the maglev car. Chen Lin smiled and said to the middle-aged man: "Although the maglev car has huge development potential, it needs to be removed from it. There are still some key issues that need to be solved before the laboratory reaches the mass market.”

"Are the superconducting engine devices and the superconducting batteries used by you now the most cost-effective? This type of equipment requires efficient energy storage and conversion technology, and its cost must be drastically reduced, otherwise it will At that time, it was very expensive to enter the market as a luxury product, and it would be very difficult to promote it. "

The man nodded immediately. They had not thought of this yet. The magnetic levitation car in the laboratory was developed with almost no consideration of cost. The association basically met all their needs, including the superconducting batteries used and some of the devices on the vehicle. They are all provided by several other departments, and the cost issue is quite far away for men.

"By the way, there are also the manufacturing and maintenance costs of maglev cars. Do you know how much this thing costs?"

The man was stopped by Chen Lin's question. He thought for a while and then said carefully: "The price may be around 800-1400... At present, these experimental equipment are equipped with the most advanced equipment, and the super The conductive battery is probably the most expensive part, I personally estimate the price to be around six million.”

"This limits the possibility of mass production."

Chen Lin shook his head, "The cost of a battery alone is so high. Who can afford it for ordinary people? So the most important thing next is to reduce the cost. You researchers need to explore cheaper superconducting materials and manufacturing processes... Yes Yes, once the experimental model is completed, production costs can be reduced by introducing advanced production technology and automation equipment, and at the same time, it can also improve production efficiency. "

“Have you heard of the ACS platform?”

When the man heard the name, he immediately nodded to show that he understood: "That thing is very famous. There is only one here at the Red Mountain Base now, and it is still over there at the portal. I heard them say it is a black technology from the Pioneers. , as long as the blueprint is given, it can be manufactured and produced in large quantities.”

"It's basically true, but this thing still needs raw materials, and the raw materials are isomeric powders that we rarely see."

Chen Lin smiled and said, "It can be said that the association controls all ACS platforms. If there are no raw materials, even this platform is just scrap metal."

"The ACS platform can mass-produce these maglev vehicles on a large scale. It only needs to provide enough raw materials. When the time comes, ACS will fully drive down the price, so there is no need to worry about high costs."

Thinking of this, both of them had relaxed smiles on their faces. There are solutions to these problems. The Origin Star provides them with far more than just one or two things, but a whole new set of technology trees and research directions. The Pioneer Civilization There are a lot of black technologies on the side. A group of people lamented this but also felt a little regretful. They didn't know why such a developed pioneer civilization was finally destroyed in the hands of a group of bugs.

Chen Lin stayed with the project team here for several hours, and even stayed here for dinner later. The only pity was that he didn't even get on the experimental maglev car, but for Chen Lin It's not a big deal, as he travels every day in a special aircraft.

Riding on this maglev car is just a novelty in itself.

"Come on you guys,"

Chen Lin waved to a group of middle-aged men not far away from the door of the minibus, "The new maglev vehicle will bring about earth-shaking changes in our lives. You are all considered to be at the forefront of the forefront. , the association has high hopes for you, and I hope you can succeed and become Armstrong in the maglev car project.”

Everyone laughed, and the middle-aged man saluted Chen Lin. Chen Lin returned the salute, turned around, and got on the minibus.

He is going to return to Anyun Base next. It is expected that he will be at leisure for a while and nothing major will happen.
