Wan Xinyue sat in the driver's seat, and Gao Ang sat in the passenger seat.
Closing the car door and starting the engine instantly changes the atmosphere inside the car.
It's like sitting in a private movie theater box, surrounded by screens that transmit all the information around you in real time.
"Your glass is all LCD screens?"
Old Wan asked in surprise, as she had previously thought it was one-way glass.
"An LCD screen...you could call it that, but with added bulletproof and blast-proof properties."
This was something Gaogao improved later, because the LCD screen that Chitose and the others used was really too low-end.
"This is getting interesting!"
Having just encountered this theoretical stuff for the first time, Lao Wan became excited. "Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
"Just follow the normal driving procedure. The steering wheel is still set up the same as before, and the gears are also similar. I'll demonstrate the other functions to you later."
Okay!
Old Wan shrugged and started the electric car that she was somewhat looking forward to.
Shift gears, accelerate, and turn the steering wheel!
The movement was swift and seamless; the car sped off without a sound.
It drove out of the laboratory and headed straight for the airport runway.
Once outside, Lao Wan noticed something different about the car again.
She could understand that there were headlights in front of her, so she could see the scenery outside clearly, but she could also see clearly what was happening to her side and rear.
Moreover, she didn't even need to turn around; she could see everything around the car clearly through the windshield, as if it were daytime.
"Your design looks interesting, but in practice, it does somewhat affect the driver's judgment."
To be fair, what Lao Wan said makes sense.
"That's right, but the original design of this car was to free up your hands! The purpose of these features is to reduce the driver's loneliness. In theory, you don't need a driver to operate this car."
"Autonomous driving?"
She's familiar with autonomous driving; her family, Wanjia, has always been in the automotive parts manufacturing business and has good cooperative relationships with many car manufacturers, including Tesla.
However, the current form of autonomous driving always seems to lack something.
"That's one way to understand it, but I prefer to call it: a fully intelligent car."
As he spoke, Gao Ang took something out of the glove box, which looked like a Bluetooth headset, and gestured for Lao Wan to put it on.
"What is this?" Old Wan asked curiously, taking it and looking at it several times, but there was nothing special about it.
"The ultimate key to controlling this car!"
Half-believing, half-doubting, Lao Wan curiously put on the headphones, then his eyes widened in surprise:
"EEG test normal. Binding? If binding, then the first priority controller..."
"Brainwaves?"
Old Wan turned his head, looked at Gao Feng, and stared wide-eyed.
"Yeah, I told you there would be a surprise, why didn't you guys believe me?"
Gao Ang was deeply hurt. What was wrong with these people? Did they think that a mere anti-gravity was a pleasant surprise?
"You mean, this car can be controlled via brainwaves?"
"Theoretically, that's how it works. Brainwaves are the primary controller. If you want to be lazy, you just need to set a goal, and the car will then follow your instructions to reach the destination smoothly. As for how fast the car goes or whether it will honk when someone cuts in line, that's entirely based on your usual driving habits. In other words, when you choose to bind your brainwaves, you've already opened up all your personal privacy regarding your neural synapses to this intelligent driving computer."
Upon hearing this, Lao Wan immediately took off her headphones, her pretty face turning bright red. "Isn't this an invasion of privacy?"
"That depends on how you define personal privacy. If personal privacy isn't used for malicious purposes and is only for the convenience of users, then theoretically there's nothing wrong with it. It's like some news apps that talk about big data analysis, but in reality, they determine users' preferences based on their browsing history and time spent browsing, and then recommend content that users like within that range. But some unscrupulous businesses are despicable; they ask for a lot of personal permissions, such as reading users' contacts, which is unacceptable."
Gao Ang knew what Lao Wan was worried about, and then comforted him, "Don't worry, this car's intelligent computer isn't that abnormal, and I haven't added any abnormal functions to collect your memory points. It just reads your driving records and doesn't do anything else."
"That sounds nice, but who knows if you actually did it or not!"
Muttering to himself, Lao Wan didn't believe a single word Gao Feng said.
"Don't you want to know if this car can fly?"
Gao Feng continued to tempt her, even nudging his head closer to Lao Wan. "It smells amazing!"
Old Wan was in a dilemma. A flying car, like the Qin Shi Huang, is very likely to have an anti-gravity design.
If this is true, then she is basically the owner of the car.
According to Gao Feng, this car is a surprise, so it certainly won't be something they just want to see.
In the end, the temptation prevailed over concerns about personal privacy.
"It's just personal privacy. If you're upright, you have nothing to fear!"
After muttering a couple of things, Lao Wan put his headphones back on and said, "Tell me, how do we fly?"
"Just think about flying, but you may not have any flying experience, so you'll have to use your brainwaves to send commands to the AI computer, such as slow takeoff, or accelerated takeoff, or rapid takeoff, etc... What the heck are you doing?!"
Before Gao Feng could finish speaking, he felt a heavy pressure coming at him.
Good heavens, Lao Wan immediately chose to accelerate and take off. Under the super gravity, he could even hear the creaking of the seat.
A car that was parked in one place suddenly had all four wheels off the ground, and then it was suspended in mid-air and vertically rising, climbing vertically at an acceleration of one meter per second.
Fortunately, it was nighttime, and the other end of the airport runway was quite far from the construction site. If someone had seen it, they would have definitely shouted: "A UFO is here!"
Old Wan also felt a tightness in his chest and suddenly panicked, "Old Gao, I feel a bit stuffy, should we open the car window?"
Before Gao Yang could reply, the car window opened a crack, and a gust of cold air rushed in, easing Lao Wan's tense mood considerably.
"Huh, why don't I feel stuffy anymore?"
"Nonsense, your brainwaves are telling the intelligent computer that you can't take it anymore, so the computer reduces the takeoff acceleration..."
Gao Ang rolled his eyes at the silly woman, then said, "To be honest, do you usually drive very recklessly?"
"No way!"
Old Wan quickly retorted, but her flushed face betrayed her true condition.
"Wow, we're already 1000 meters in the air!"
After checking the altitude, Lao Wan became excited. "Lao Gao, is the bottom of this car also transparent?"
"What are you thinking... Even if the bottom of the car is transparent, are you going to lie down and look? Look up!"
Old Wan obediently raised his head, and above him was once again a sea of lights and flashing neon signs.
“Looking down isn’t appropriate, so I modified the panoramic sunroof. You can look down at your feet or at the stars if you want, or you can set it to look at both.”
At this point, Lao Wan no longer cared about infringing on personal privacy, nor was he flustered. Like a curious child, he familiarized himself with every function of the car.
"By the way, if it's flying, how long can it fly?"
After playing for a while, Lao Wan turned around and asked a very crucial question.
"How long...?"
Gao Ang began to mutter, "As long as I'm here, I can fly indefinitely, but I can't tell Lao Wan about it."
"Ahem, this one is short, it can probably only last a few minutes!"
"So short?"
"Ahem, flying involves overcoming many factors, so it's normal that it consumes more energy..."
Gao Ang suddenly wondered if he had gone too far in showing off.
"But didn't you say that antigravity uses space energy? What does that have to do with electricity?"
Yes, it was charging with electricity before!
Gao Ang once again felt that he had really shot himself in the foot this time...
Indeed, beauty is a curse, and she truly is a beautiful but deadly woman!
Just to show off in front of Lao Wan, he had to bring out his immature anti-gravity technology and embarrass himself...
That's right, all of this is the consequence of being arrogant and pretentious.
The vehicle's takeoff is also its energy supply.
The flight of Daqin-1 is controlled by a thousand-year-old entity, but even with a thousand-year-old entity, some physical data cables are still needed to communicate the energy coordination between it and the anti-gravity device.
This time, letting Lao Wan experience the new car's flight mode was entirely Gao Feng's way of having fun, and he added this feature to the car without permission.
This vehicle does indeed have a flight mode, but it's missing an energy coordinator, namely the character Chitose.
The car had already reached the foot of the mountain, and he'd already started boasting—what could Gao Feng do? He had no choice but to go himself…
"Space energy can be converted using electricity, but the energy conversion loss is quite large... well, not really large, but rather that the conversion between different energy types may not conform to some of the physical laws we've learned!"
Gao Feng wasn't exaggerating when he said that all the electricity stored in Ramsterdam's numerous power plants was ultimately only enough to power the launch of that miniature weather weapon once.
According to Terence and Sagir's speculation, the reason why Ivanda, also known as Lillian, limited the number of times they could use their weapons was probably not because she was deliberately targeting them, but because she had not fully mastered this type of spatial energy weapon.
Using it once would consume the stored electricity of an entire city... It's no wonder that something is amiss if it's used so many times.
Old Wan was still skeptical, feeling that the man was trying to fool her, but she had no proof.
"Old Gao, do you remember the question I asked you before?"
"What's the problem? When did you send me my first rocket? Or an airplane?"
"Get out of the way," Old Wan patted Gao Zhang's shoulder, pretending to be reluctant, "That's enough, move forward a little more!"
Seeing Lao Wan's teasing look, he raised his arms and crossed them, "What exactly did you ask?"
"Keep pretending! Remember when I asked you if you'd been possessed?"
"Oh, that question? I remember! Take your head, my foot!"
Taking advantage of Lao Wan's inattention, Gao Ang flicked him on the head.
They got used to hitting the emperor, and he swore it wasn't intentional.
"you……?"
Covering his head, Lao Wan looked completely bewildered.
A mix of bewilderment and sweetness, a touch of shyness mixed with a hint of anticipation...
"That's about enough, it's time to land, otherwise we'll be in freefall soon."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gao Ang quickly changed the subject.
"Oh~~"
Back on the ground, the two pretended nothing had happened and returned to their previous state.
"So, you're also planning to build cars?"
Old Wan made conversation out of silence.
"I didn't have that plan. It was all Qian Sui and the others who caused this."
"Actually... making cars is a good idea. Now every big company wants to get a piece of the new energy vehicle market. Air conditioner manufacturers are making cars, mobile phone manufacturers are making cars, even real estate developers are making cars. You can totally get involved too. You have the most crucial battery technology for new energy, and our company deals in components. I reckon you can make a car computer in no time, right? Everything's ready!"
Old Wan's words made Gao Ang somewhat tempted.
There's still no news from Xiamen and Xia Yu. He's basically wiped out one and a half of the two major vampire families.
As for the Dort family in the mountain country, and the Valley of Death that he fears so much, he is not ready to test them again in the short term.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to take this free time to sort out the new energy vehicle market.
The concept of electric vehicles was originally proposed in China, but now Tesla has overtaken it.
Domestic new energy vehicle manufacturers are quite disappointing. They receive so many subsidies but do nothing and do nothing.
"Then shall we... start building cars too?"
Old Wan has made his point so clear; if Gao Ang still doesn't understand, then he's really being inhuman.
Moreover, from his own perspective, the benefits of building cars outweigh the drawbacks.
He was confident that the cars he built would absolutely crush Tesla, not to mention those from other domestic manufacturers.
Moreover, he doesn't want government subsidies; he competes with numerous car dealers solely based on his own strength.
But it just feels a bit like bullying!
"How about we start a joint venture?"
Since the Wan family has this background, Gao Ang naturally wants to bring her onto his side.
"It's not impossible, but I think you'd better talk to your superiors first."
Lao Wan didn't refuse; it was practically giving her money. However, she did give Gao Feng a heads-up.
"Okay, you should go back to the hotel and rest first. I'll talk to someone about how to handle this."
Who should we look for? Of course, it's Xiaoming.
Xiao Ming, who was used to receiving calls from Gao Ang, was already quite accustomed to it. Even if it was the middle of the night, he would still get up to answer the phone, let alone at just before 10 o'clock. What could he do? He was Gao Ang's one-on-one service specialist.
"Speak, Mr. Gao, what are your needs?"
"Oh ho, how did you know I called you to ask you for a favor?"
"Are you trying to wake me up to pee?"
"...You rascal... Okay, you guessed right, there is something..."
In no time, Gao Ang explained his ideas, and finally said, "You handle the paperwork. I need to get everything done as quickly as possible. My car needs to be launched within a month."
"Dude, are you kidding me? You think you can build a car in just one month? Some people have been building cars for five years and they're still just on PowerPoint presentations. Do you think building cars is like blowing bubblegum?"
Upon hearing the exorbitant schedule, Xiao Ming became uneasy. Was this some kind of joke?
"I knew you wouldn't believe me. Go ahead and investigate. Didn't I buy some car parts before? You should be able to find the relevant records. Let me show you whether I actually manufactured it in the last ten days!"
After switching phone screens, Gao Ang sent over the test drive video of the new car, of course, the part about flying was edited out.
He wanted to build cars, but he never intended to put himself in the line of fire of other car manufacturers.
Flying cars are possible, but not now. At least we'll have to wait until their car brands occupy half the world market and have a certain degree of influence.
After watching the video sent by Gao Ang, Xiao Ming fell silent, then lightly slapped himself in the face.
You're still questioning this guy? Don't you know he's a monster?
Can't I just honestly do things for him?
If you insist on saying it's impossible, now you've been proven wrong, haven't you?
"No problem, I'll take care of the paperwork and get back to you tomorrow!"
