Chapter 221 Science Fiction Technology

Because it is easy to build a concept car, it is difficult to make a concept car truly meaningful. Every large auto show you can see a large number of science fiction cars, but only a very small number of them can be continued into reality.

The variable spoiler device developed by Yang Ming, or its scale pneumatic system, is still in concept design and has not yet passed the actual verification.

So after buying the wind tunnel, the company contracted a cargo plane and flew to Houston with secret products.

Without much leisure, I went straight to the wind tunnel laboratory and started preparing for the experiment.

This set of techniques sounds very complicated. If you want to keep each "scale" in a different shape and adjust the degree according to different speeds and pressures? This is the field of intelligence!

This kind of technology has never appeared in the history of automobiles. To be honest, the most advanced F1 has only a few levels of adjustment!

However, Yang Ming requires that the scales on this car be controlled by a central computer, and the computer will make corresponding controls and adjustments based on the driving status!

Among them, light is electrical control, and the design of the motor is a complex project. It cannot increase the weight too much and cannot affect the overall structure of the vehicle.

It is required that the scales have a wind resistance coefficient of about 0.25, and when the scales are turned on, the bigger the better. If it can exceed 1.0, it will theoretically be able to run against the ceiling!

Wind tunnel test is an important step to test the car shell.

Yang Ming and a group of technicians in the company were watching. The test started immediately after the preliminary preparations were completed. The 1/2-scale MW-1 test vehicle was under the test of the wind.

Various sensors and detectors are everywhere, collecting the coefficients of each point on the vehicle body as key experimental data, and recording them in the driving computer in the future, allowing them to make corresponding adjustments.

If you want to be intelligent, you have to build it on huge data. This is the scientific data that takes thousands of hours or even longer to obtain when wind tunnel tests are tested.

This experiment is long.

Yang Ming still needs some adjustments in the middle. The design comes from the concept that is advanced in his mind, but putting it into reality will be restricted by current technology and have to weaken the effect.

After fifty hours of testing, the pneumatic expert admitted: "The data we need is very complex. At different speeds, each 10 kilometers unit different, the angle of the scale will produce different downforce."

At speeds of 100 and 110, the adjustment angles of this concept car are different! In order to maintain high accuracy, the adjustment values ​​at the two speeds are different.

In fact, Yang Ming also hopes to be accurate to one kilometer, such as the speeds of 100 and 101, and the adjustment of scales should be different... But this is too difficult, exceeding the current technical level.

The unit can only be calculated as 10, but the data generated is still huge, because there are fifteen spoilers in the entire body, each with more than 5 angles and inclinations, and more than 100,000 solutions can be combined!

If it is used as a precision of 1 kilometer, more than one million kinds of data will be generated. Only processing these will not be able to deal with by their team. I'm afraid there is only a supercomputer.

"By the way, can we use supercomputers?"

Boss Yang really thought of this aspect, and everyone looked at him a little numbly.

These days have been amazing enough. From the boss’s extremely genius design, to buying a wind tunnel whenever he has disagreement, to now speaking of using supercomputers... they have become numb and normal operations.

Yang Ming talked about his idea: "We use our set of data that maintains downforce at different speeds, use supercomputers to sort out the best pneumatic program and enter it into our driving computer!"

"These are the best driving conditions that we have verified thousands of times. When the driver is actually using the racing car, he will substitute the program to adjust the scales so that the driving computer can have the ability to learn!"

The driving computer will master the driver's habits. In different states, the control scales will perform different performances, and each driver will have his own style.

Racing will be smart!

Everyone's eyes lit up and thought it was OK.

But the project volume is quite large.

Computer experts understand: "I have several friends who work at IBM who can rent their supercomputers to do this project, but need to get enough data."

"Don't worry, go and prepare!" Yang Ming once again made them understand that money is not a problem!

The key point is this science fiction technology, one foot has stepped into reality!

Although it is inevitable to be castrated due to the limitations of basic technology, it is also a slap in the current environment. All colleagues can only look at the taillights of their cars from afar, and feel that they are so bright when they are born!

...

Yang Ming's crazy automobile expert path continues.

After the wind tunnel test, his workload was reduced a little because it took thousands of hours to continuously adjust and modify, and at this time it was more theoretical operations.

During this period, I returned to China three times and handled some necessary commercial matters, such as the PUBG, as he expected, and now there are chicken-eating everywhere in Internet cafes, leaving less and less chips for Penguin to negotiate.

The pharmaceutical industry is also developing steadily, the European market has opened and the response is very good; Bitcoin has entered a period of soaring growth, and the big guys holding a total of up to 150,000 coins are smiling at the storm.

Yang Ming gave up more power and just let professional managers take care of his company's career. Although it would not be 100% in line with his wishes, he now has higher pursuits.

It is no difference between earning 100 million more and earning 100 million less. He cares more when his dreams get closer step by step. He is the only one who can subvert the traditional automotive industry and combines intelligence with racing to a large extent.

During the afternoon chat with my old friend, I couldn't help but reveal some points.

"You have been going to the United States for so long, but you are building cars?" Zhang Haiyan was a little surprised.

"Look at your expression, do you think I'm doing something shameful?" Yang Ming took a sip of tea, thinking that he might have done it before, but now he likes speed machines than women.

"I think you have never shown this side before. It's so awesome!" She supported her chin and said in admiration.

"I can't stand you." Yang Ming ignored her.

But Li Wei was also interested: "Can you share it?"

Yang Ming was very pleased: "No problem! If you like it, how about you just look at the scene? I will go to the United States again in two days. Is it convenient for you guys?"

"Our visa is long!" Zhang Haiyan made the decision for Li Wei. She understood her best friend's thoughts. If she refused to take a step, she would help you.

So naturally, I got on the G650 to Los Angeles. After landing, everyone was in good spirits and didn’t have much time to visit. It was not the first time I came.

Yang Ming took them directly to Maxwell's test yard. A while ago, he wanted to buy a track next to him as an exclusive test yard, but the other party did not agree to leave and book the yard.

Now it is the research and development and testing center of the MW-1 project. I saw the prototype shell, which was not beautifully painted, and the seams and stuffed with something suspected to be tape, which looked ugly.

"Wow!" But in Zhang Haiyan's eyes, what she cared about was the design: "Is this what the scales look like? It's so sci-fi!"

"You really built such a car!" Li Wei was not that wise, but she also felt that she had never seen this appearance before. Just looking at it makes her feel extraordinary.

"It's still under debugging," Yang Ming introduced. "The wind tunnel test has been more than 600 hours, and a lot of reliable data has been obtained, so the prototype vehicle test is being carried out."
