Chapter 17 Next Steps

Pengda male dormitory.

After a busy day, Lu Chen and Zhang Mingbo returned to the dormitory.

"Old Lu, I feel like I'm dreaming now. More than a month ago, we were still running around for a 100 million loan, and now our company has more than 3000 million on its books."

Lying on the bed, Lu Chen was thinking about other things, and he didn't seem to hear Zhang Mingbo's words.

"Old Lu, what are you thinking?"

"Ok?"

Lu Chen came back to his senses, "I was thinking about something."

He nodded.

Hearing this, Zhang Mingbo turned over and sat up.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm thinking about the next step of our company's development."

Lu Chen pondered for a while, and then said: "It's not surprising, the Miracle Continent game is already on the right track. It's time for the company to plan ahead and start thinking about new businesses."

"You mean developing a new game?"

Lu Chen shook his head, his eyes were deep, and he looked at the bright moon outside the window.

"Mingbo, you and I both study computers, do you really want to be a gamer for the rest of your life?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingbo opened his mouth but did not speak.

That's right, making games is indeed making money, but it can be seen from his choice to work in DJI, a high-tech company, that what Zhang Mingbo wants to do is not games.

Seeing that Zhang Mingbo didn't speak, Lu Chen continued: "I make games just to make money, or in other words, to provide sufficient funds for my future career."

"Oh?"

This was the first time Zhang Mingbo heard Lu Chen talk about his thoughts on his future career, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Artificial Intelligence, New Materials, New Energy, Life Technology"

Lu Chen counted some of the most cutting-edge technological development directions of mankind.

Zhang Mingbo listened carefully.

"These are the most cutting-edge technology development directions. In these industries, new technology giants will inevitably be born. These giants may be born from old technology oligarchs, or they may be created by us unknown people!"

After listening to Lu Chen's cake painting, Zhang Mingbo asked, "Which industry are you going to enter?"

"new energy vehicles!"

Lu Chen stared.

Zhang Mingbo gasped.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that new energy vehicles are the future, but for now, new energy vehicles are still very immature.

It has many shortcomings, the most deadly of which is the lack of battery life.

Compared with the range of traditional cars that can reach more than 1000 kilometers, new energy vehicles can run for three to four hundred kilometers at most before stopping.

Some people may say that Tesla's new energy vehicles can run more than 700 kilometers at most.

The actual situation is not the case. You must know that the battery life data given by major new energy vehicle manufacturers are the maximum battery life measured in an ideal environment.

What is an ideal environment?It is the maximum battery life measured under the condition of the lowest power consumption and constant speed.

However, in the normal driving process of the car, it can't keep driving at a constant speed with low power consumption, right?

Therefore, even if it is a Tesla car, it is not bad to be able to drive [-] kilometers.

Moreover, as the service life of the battery continues to increase, the power storage capacity of the battery will become weaker and weaker.

In the end, there may even be a situation where the battery life is only half of the new car.

The second fatal point of new energy vehicles is the inconvenient charging.

Compared with gas stations all over the country, there are very few charging piles for new energy vehicles.

Although the capital has seen the potential of the new energy vehicle market and has deployed in the charging pile industry one after another, it is not worth mentioning compared to the dense gas stations across the country.

This has led to the fact that new energy vehicles often cannot run long distances and can only be driven in the city.

In this way, what is the difference between new energy vehicles and battery vehicles?Multiple covers for protection from the elements?
As for other shortcomings, such as slow battery charging speed, battery spontaneous combustion, etc., compared to the first two, they are not worth mentioning.

After listening to Lu Chen's narration, Zhang Mingbo thought deeply: "New energy vehicles are an asset-heavy industry, of course, as long as there is capital and technology, it doesn't matter whether it is an asset-heavy industry or not.

It’s just that, if we want to enter the new energy vehicle industry, our company’s current capital reserves are far from enough, and there are still technical problems.”

Naturally, Lu Chen couldn't tell him that technical problems were not a problem at all, the biggest problem was funding.

"I'm talking about entering the new energy vehicle industry, not building cars right away, why are you nervous!"

After hearing this, Zhang Mingbo breathed a sigh of relief.

What he was most afraid of was that Lu Chen would get hotheaded and put all the profits of Chensheng Game Company into the bottomless pit of the new energy vehicle industry.

Looking around, there is no one company that can become a giant in the new energy vehicle industry without strong capital behind it.

Tesla, BYD, BAIC.
Behind these enterprises, there is either full support from the parent company, or crazy capital injection.

Coupled with the opponent's technical reserves.

Anyway, Zhang Mingbo is not optimistic about Lu Chen's ability to compete with these giant companies. This is different from making games.

After all, the technical content of making games is not high. As long as you find the right gameplay and well-made, it is very likely to become a hit.

Technology, on the other hand, needs to rely on funds, time and even some luck to slowly accumulate and precipitate.

This is a high-input, high-risk, high-cycle, and high-return industry.

Lu Chen paused, and said: "For new energy vehicles, the core is naturally the battery technology, but the current battery technology development has fallen into a bottleneck, and it seems difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, leaving two cores Technology is electronic control technology and electric drive technology.”

Zhang Mingbo nodded.

He still knows about Sanden technology.

"Which one are you going to do?"

"Battery Management System!"

"Battery management system?"

Zhang Mingbo was a little surprised.

In simple terms, battery management technology is divided into two parts, hardware and software.

The hardware part includes the main board and the slave board, which can be further divided into relay drive, power signal, temperature signal, current signal, Hall signal, fast charge and slow charge, etc.

The software part is the battery management system, including charge management, thermal management, balance management and so on.

In short, battery management technology is a technology to manage batteries, improve battery utilization efficiency and service life.

At present, the company that has done the best in battery management technology is Tesla.
