Chapter 226 Another Record

Spanning half of the Blue Star.

Kingdom of Delint.

As one of the core members of the Southern Cross Alliance, Delint is the most economically developed and powerful member of the entire alliance.

Once upon a time, Delinte manufacturing was a symbol of the most advanced technology and highest quality in the world.

Even a set of kitchen knives produced by Delinte can be sold at a high price in Dongfang Daxia.

however.

As Daxia gradually rose to become the world's first industrial country, the business card of Delinte Manufacturing was eclipsed.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Daxia time.

Nine o'clock in the morning, Delint time.

Messett Industries, Inc.

The entire company's core management team all sat in the conference room, all with serious expressions.

This group of white people are watching a live broadcast from Oriental Daxia.

The theme of the live broadcast is the long-distance test of the new electric heavy-duty truck developed by Daxia.

Messett Industries is the world's largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer, although their trucks do not sell well in Bahia.

However, Mercedes' brand is more famous all over the world, and its sales have always surpassed those of Daxia heavy trucks.

Even though Mercedes heavy trucks are sold at a higher price, they also cost more to repair and maintain.

As the saying goes, "competitors are enemies", so Mesat Industrial pays close attention to Daxia's electric trucks.

At this time.

The camera moved to the interior of a heavy truck and aimed at the LCD instrument panel behind the steering wheel.

Several lines of driving data immediately caught the eyes of the white people.

Mileage: 1652km
Remaining mileage: 2183km
Average energy consumption per 79.5 km: 100 kwh/ km
An old white man took out a computer and pressed a few buttons, then said, "The total mileage and remaining mileage is 3835 kilometers. The range indicated by the Daxia people is 3750 kilometers, which is 85 kilometers more."

Another white man wearing glasses sighed, "The Daxia people's super crystal battery is too powerful. Even if the range is reduced by 200 kilometers, Mesat Industry will be finished."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

Daxia people's new electric heavy-duty trucks and Meset Industrial's fuel-powered heavy-duty trucks are completely different products from the same era.

More than a year ago.

Global disasters have occurred frequently, the world economy has suffered a severe blow, and Messett Industry has also been seriously affected.

The company carried out several waves of large-scale layoffs and closed several production lines, but it was barely able to survive.

Now that the people of Daxia have developed new electric heavy-duty trucks, traditional heavy-duty trucks have been eliminated overnight.

This is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

After a while.

A voice broke the silence: "Everyone, do you think there is a way out for Messett Industries?"

This sentence immediately sparked a discussion.

"Diesel heavy trucks are now outdated products. Unless Mesat Industries transforms, we will surely die."

“If Mesat Industries wants to transform, it must acquire the technology of ultracrystalline batteries.”

"We once obstructed Daxia from developing its own heavy truck technology. I'm afraid Daxia people won't sell the technology to us. We can only develop super crystal batteries ourselves."

"The Daxia people have clearly stated that the key to super crystal batteries is the original material. We don't have the original material, and the Daxia people will not sell it to us."

"Messett Industries can ask the authorities to organize an exploration team to explore the primordial world and obtain primordial matter."

"But the Primordial World is full of warrior-level monsters. The Daxia people have Daxia ghosts, so they don't dare to explore the Primordial World easily. And Delint doesn't even have warriors, so it's impossible for him to enter the Primordial World in at least five years."

"If Delint can really enter the original world in five years, can Messet Industries still last for another five years?"

"The Daxia people said that they will produce at least 5000 million heavy trucks in the next five years, and the actual number may be even higher."

"Daxia is the world's number one industrial country, with a complete range of industries and a large number of high-quality industrial talents. If they go all out in production, I'm afraid 1 million heavy trucks won't be a problem."

"It is expected that Daxia will be able to meet domestic demand within two years. By then, they will definitely sell electric heavy-duty trucks to the outside world. By then, Meset Industry will not be able to sell even one heavy-duty truck."

The more these white people discussed it, the more desperate they became.

As senior managers, they are closely tied to the company, and if Messett Industries goes bankrupt, their good days will be over.

at this time.

The live broadcast screen suddenly changed.

The electric heavy truck fleet began to slow down and stopped in the emergency lane.

An executive took a look and guessed, "Could there be a malfunction?"

Another executive gloated: "It is very likely. After all, electric heavy trucks and ultra-crystalline batteries are both immature products."

Another executive was inspired and had an idea: "Perhaps we can find the shortcomings of electric heavy trucks, and then publicize them through the media to make people think that 'electric heavy trucks are unsafe products'."

This approach immediately gained the approval of many managers.

“I think we can give it a try.”

"Many people have the prejudice that electric vehicles are prone to fire, and we can also make a fuss about this."

"If done well, we may be able to prevent Daxia's heavy trucks from entering foreign markets and buy more time for Meset Industry."

But some people disagree.

Electric heavy trucks do not have complex engines and gearboxes, but instead have electric motors and battery packs, and their structure is inherently simpler.

Especially the electric motor, which is much simpler than a diesel engine and has a significantly lower failure rate.

With the current industrial level of Daxia people, the possibility of electric heavy trucks malfunctioning is not high.

At this time.

The live commentary sounded.

Although the commentary was in Daxia language, they had arranged a translator in advance to provide real-time translation for the live broadcast.

"Dear viewers, the Wanlixing convoy just received an early warning that there may be danger ahead.

"The person who raised the warning was another powerful person in Daxia, Mr. Ling Ya. I believe many people have heard of Mr. Ling Ya's name.

"Due to safety concerns, the convoy decided to stop and confirm the situation ahead."

When the executives heard this, they all looked disappointed.

After more than ten seconds, the white people saw a strange scene.

The door of an electric heavy truck opened, and two drivers jumped out and got into other heavy trucks.

The explanation sounded at the right time: "Dear audience, the new electric heavy truck is equipped with an intelligent driving system, which can not only drive automatically, but also remotely control the driving.

"After discussion, the team came up with a plan to remotely control an electric heavy truck to move forward to determine the situation ahead.

“Just a few more words, by the way.

“According to the information we have learned, all of these new electric heavy-duty trucks will be equipped with intelligent driving systems.

“This system also has a very interesting function called formation-following autonomous driving.

“To put it simply, several heavy trucks are set up as a formation, with the first heavy truck driven by a driver, and the other heavy trucks can follow automatically.

"Using this method, other drivers can rest in the car, and the first heavy truck will be driven by the drivers in turn, which can greatly reduce the fatigue of long-distance driving.

"The logistics revolution that Daxia is about to carry out will not only fully launch electric heavy trucks, but also include intelligent logistics. Daxia people will lead the new generation of technological revolution."

The executives looked at each other in bewilderment.

Are the people of Daxia so good at having fun?
A few seconds later.

I saw a heavy truck without a driver slowly starting and driving forward.

One white man couldn't help but say: "We are indeed lagging behind."

Another white man retorted: "This kind of fancy stuff is totally useless. The most reliable and safest way to drive is to have someone behind the wheel."

The voice just fell.

The commentator gave an explanation: "As Canglan Star goes deeper and deeper into the primordial world, there will be more and more disasters in the future.

“Daxia officials believe that the large-scale adoption of intelligent logistics can greatly reduce casualties when necessary.

"For example, on some dangerous roads, heavy trucks can be driven fully autonomously without the need for personnel."

The executive who had just said that "manned driving is the most reliable" suddenly shut his mouth and looked a little embarrassed.

This slap in the face came too quickly.

Because the people of Daxia are right.

Even if intelligent logistics is not as reliable as humans, as long as it can save more drivers' lives, it is an impeccable system.

An executive said softly: "Although I don't like Daxia, the concept of Daxia people is admirable."

Many people nodded when they heard this.

soon.

A drone took off and followed closely behind the unmanned heavy truck.

The heavy truck was driving faster and faster, and it was running quite smoothly.

Executives took it seriously.

One kilometer and nothing happened.

Two kilometers, still no movement.

Three kilometers, still calm.

In the drone's camera, the woods on both sides of the highway were covered with white snow.

Some people began to question: "Could the Daxia people have made a mistake? I don't think there is any danger."

Someone immediately agreed.

"The snow forest looks quite peaceful. It doesn't look like there are any mutant creatures hiding there."

"The people of Daxia may have made a wrong prediction. They are going to be embarrassed this time."

The fourth kilometer.

The change happened suddenly.

"boom!"

Just heard a loud noise.

In an area more than 100 meters to the right of the viaduct, a large cloud of snow and dust suddenly rose up.

next second.

Hundreds of black tree roots, like spirit snakes, emerged from the snow and dust.

They rapidly extended towards the viaduct, climbed directly onto the bridge road, and flexibly entangled the electric heavy truck.

The white executives were stunned.

No one expected that plants would turn into highly aggressive mutant species.

For Canglan Star, this is definitely the first recorded sighting.

From now on, not only animals but plants too become dangerous.

Subsequently.

The tree root swung violently.

The heavy truck weighing dozens of tons was thrown high up, drew an arc of hundreds of meters in the air, and fell heavily into the snowy forest.

"boom!"

There was a louder bang.

Large areas of snowy forest were knocked down, and even larger snow dust rose up.

The first mutant plant to appear demonstrated its terrifying power.

Executives expressed their horror.

"Oh God!"

"too frightening!"

"The predictions of the Daxia people are so accurate!"

Executives also noticed something else.

"The heavy truck fell from such a height, but there was no fire."

The white man who just tried to discredit electric heavy trucks by saying they were "prone to catch fire" was now unable to utter a word.

In front of the whole world, this heavy truck falling from a high altitude was simply a living advertisement.
