Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing

Hao Qiang’s rigorous attitude and professionalism left a deep impression on the island team.

Early the next morning, Hao Qiang came to the car factory again in high spirits.

Go deep into every corner, carefully check every detail, ensure that no potential hidden dangers or problems are missed, and strive to rectify them before mass production.

During the inspection, Hao Qiang communicated with the on-site engineers and installers from time to time, and patiently listened to their opinions and suggestions.

Frontline installers can often provide the most practical and valuable information.

On the fourth day, Hao Qiang left the Pengcheng factory.

March is the month for government honors.

Every year, Future Technology Group will apply for the National Science and Technology Invention Award,

Last year, it applied for two items, and one won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award.

This year, it is the same.

The first prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award is too difficult to win.

Unless a few years later, the company applies for chip-related technology, and the technical level reaches the international top level.

Other technologies, temporarily unable to reach the level of the first prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award, are not biased by the judges.

There is no limit or ranking for the number of first and second prizes of the National Science and Technology Invention Award in each year. If you reach it, you will get it. If you don’t reach it, you won’t get it.

At present, Future Technology Group has a total of one first prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award, three second prizes of the National Science and Technology Invention Award, and two first prizes of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

This achievement of winning at least one second prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award every year is difficult to achieve even for top universities like Qingbei University.

For the next period of time, Hao Qiang continued to immerse himself in the laboratory and mixed with front-line R&D personnel.

The four secretaries finally figured out Hao Qiang’s temper.

Hao Qiang, he is really a research freak!

In the middle of the month,

the optimization of the vibration reduction of the future ES6 was completed.

This means that the fixture can continue.

For the robots installed on site, technicians can perform offline programming according to the latest three-dimensional diagrams and start simulating the production line.

After the actual product is produced, fine-tuning will be carried out.

Whether it can be mass-produced depends mainly on this stage.

As long as the stamping and body welding are stable, the subsequent processes can be guaranteed and mass production can be carried out.

If the forming is inconsistent, such as the door sheet metal error reaches 1 mm, it will not be accurate when it flows to welding and installation, and the subsequent processes cannot be guaranteed.

The more complex the structure, such as too many curved surfaces and many bends, the greater the error of the parts produced.

Design is easy, but manufacturing is difficult, that’s the reason.

March 15, morning.

Liu Yixiang, general manager of Future Intelligent Technology Company, walked into Hao Qiang’s office with a little excitement and nervousness in his expression: “Hello, Chairman, the car system Future 1.0 has been successfully developed, please accept it.”

Hao Qiang raised his head and his eyes fell on the young and promising general manager. After a little thought, he replied: “Very good, let’s arrange it at two o’clock in the afternoon.”

Liu Yixiang has an enviable academic background and career experience.

He graduated from the top domestic university, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and then went to MIT to pursue a master’s and doctoral degree.

After graduation, he worked for two years in the technology giants Pingguo Company and Huawei, accumulating rich practical experience.

It was with such an excellent resume that Liu Yixiang came to Future Technology Group through headhunting recommendations.

During the interview, his professional knowledge impressed Hao Qiang, prompting Hao Qiang to recruit him at a high price.

There is a lack of top computer talents in China.

Globally, outstanding computer talents are mostly concentrated in technology centers such as Silicon Valley.

After reporting, Liu Yixiang left the chairman’s office.

This Future 1.0 system was mainly developed by Hao Qiang.

Based on the current hardware conditions, Hao Qiang has more than doubled the performance of the first generation of Future 1.0.

The in-vehicle environment is complex and changeable. The system needs to maintain stable operation under harsh conditions such as high temperature, low temperature, and vibration to avoid failures affecting driving safety.

After Hao Qiang’s optimization, the current Future 1.0 can respond quickly, and key functions such as navigation and ADAS have achieved extremely low latency.

At the same time, the human-computer interaction design is also very simple.

At two o’clock in the afternoon,

Hao Qiang arrived on time at the first floor of the laboratory of the Automobile Research Institute.

There was a future ES6 prototype parked on site, and more than a dozen engineers and technicians were testing data on site.

After Liu Yixiang saw the chairman coming, he handed him a test plan.

This plan contains the standard requirements for various tests and the company’s test data.

Including basic function testing (navigation, multimedia, communication, etc.), user interface testing, multi-tasking processing capability testing, performance testing (at startup

It will take at least one day to complete all the tests.

After Hao Qiang roughly understood the situation, he said, “Let’s start the acceptance from the first item. I’ll do it.”

“Okay.” Liu Yixiang nodded and sat in the co-pilot seat. The other two engineers sat in the back row.

Hao Qiang sat in the main driving position and adjusted the seat.

“The first item is the response speed of the car machine with one-button start!”

The future ES6 is equipped with a one-button start function.

Hao Qiang pressed the start button and paid close attention to the startup response speed of the car machine.

As the button was pressed, the audio and electric motor in the car sounded at the same time.

“Chairman, 2.36 seconds!” The tester quickly reported the recorded time.

Hao Qiang nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with the response speed.

After some cars press the one-button start button, the car computer takes a long time to respond, which feels like Alzheimer’s disease.

To ensure the accuracy of the data, Hao Qiang turned off the system, paused for a while and then started it again.

He repeated this three times and took the average.

Considering the current hardware level and the many software loaded in the Future 1.0 system, the average response time of 2.4 seconds made Hao Qiang very satisfied.

Next, they began to test the second item: navigation response speed.

The system is currently loaded with offline Gaode Map, and the two companies are cooperating.

Hao Qiang thought about financing Gaode Map, but he was a little entangled.

“Hi, Future, navigate to Yuecheng Zhongda!”

Hao Qiang directly used the voice navigation function to call the system.

Future 1.0 set “Hi, Future” as the wake-up word, and adding an extra “Hi” is to avoid misoperation.

It is worth mentioning that voice control is not a new thing in the automotive field.

As early as 1996, BMW introduced a simple voice control system for the first time on the 7 Series.

In 2004, Honda launched a navigation system with voice recognition function.

“Okay, navigating…”

A gentle mechanical voice came from the car speaker.

In less than three seconds, a little more than two seconds, the search results came out, and there were several results for the car owner to choose.

Hao Qiang’s expression was indifferent: “The second one.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the navigation immediately turned to the second one, and at the same time a question popped up:

“Do you want to start navigation?”

“Start navigation!”

The large screen immediately turned the picture and presented the navigation route.

Hao Qiang: “End navigation!”

Car computer: “Navigation has ended”

Next, Hao Qiang navigated to other places and even deliberately shouted: “In the future, navigation will be to your heart.”

Car computer: “Oh, car owner, I will be shy if you say that.”

Hearing the soft answer of the car computer, the people in the car couldn’t help laughing.

It’s quite anthropomorphic.

Of course, these are all programs, all written by people.

Hao Qiang smiled and then tested the voice interaction test in a noisy environment.

During driving, the noise is definitely louder. If voice control is not possible, it will be useless.

Fortunately, there is some interference, but the impact is not great.

The car system mainly focuses on keywords.

There is not much voice control in Future 1.0, mainly navigation, after all, the hardware is backward.

Because it is not a touch screen, many button designs have been added.

On the same day, Hao Qiang tested dozens of small items.

The next day, Hao Qiang continued to accept Future 1.0.

There are still some minor problems, which need to be further optimized.

This car system has been optimized countless times. If you don’t have a little patience, you will collapse.

Hao Qiang has strict requirements for the car system and strives for perfection.

Originally planned to exhibit it at the Canton Fair, Hao Qiang continued to postpone it.

According to the current progress of the automobile factory, it may take until August to pre-sell, and mass production must be in September.

That is, as long as the small batch production task is completed, pre-sale can be launched.

Before pre-sale, the company will continue to reveal the progress of the future ES6, such as the future ES6 model.

As for the second car, the Future ET3, mass production will start half a year later.
