Homo sapiens

Chapter 514 Automobile Innovation

Red Sea, Hongku Port.

As the first area in North Africa to be developed by Homo sapiens companies, there are very few traces of North Africa here. Modern cities, a permanent population of more than 840,000, and a large number of tourists make it very lively.

Of course, the excitement inside the Homo sapiens company is not that crowded.

A subsidiary of the Entertainment Division of Homo sapiens Corporation, there is a subsidiary called "Tourism Data Network". This company is responsible for one task, which is to evaluate the tourism index of various regions.

The so-called tourism index is a reference index formulated based on a city's infrastructure scale, waiter scale, and tourist facilities scale.

For example, the local tourism index of Hongku Port, where Simmons and Sophia's family came, is 2.6.

2.6 means that the local area can only receive a maximum of 26,000 foreign tourists every day, because the exclusive guest house + employee hotel + foreign guest hotel here has a total of 19,467 rooms.

As for why the hotel is not expanded, the reason is that there is no need and it would be a waste of resources.

The approach of Homo Sapiens Company is not to expand the scale of the hotel, but to rationally divert tourists to prevent tourists from gathering in a few cities.

When Simmons and others got off the plane, they felt a wave of heat hitting their faces.

He has never traveled to Hongku Port before, but since it is the property of Homo Sapiens Company, many things are similar.

On the side of the airport is the rental station.

"Sofia, mom and dad, please wait for me here and I'll drive over."

"Um."

Simmons walked into the rental station. When the attendant saw him walking in, he came up to say hello: "Hello, what car do you need?"

Simmons considered that it would take four people, so he asked: "An SUV."

"No problem, here's the list." The waiter projected a large number of SUV models and car rental fee schedules.

After watching for more than ten seconds, Simmons asked strangely: "Huh? Why are there no gas cars?"

"Gas cars have been phased out, and now we use electric cars." The waiter explained with a smile.

"Why? Charging electric vehicles is too troublesome, so gas vehicles are more suitable."

The waiter continued to explain: "Don't worry! We are not using plug-in electric vehicles, but liquid-filled electric vehicles."

"Charging liquid? Charging solution?" Simmons asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes, the Suez branch and the Numidia branch are the first batch of pilot projects."

"Thank you, this is the Obsidian 5!"

"Okay, wait a moment." The staff quickly entered instructions on the operation panel.

After a while, the underground elevator came up, and an Obsidian 5 SUV produced by Gemstone Automobile Company appeared in front of Simmons.

"Just swipe your card to activate."

"Thank you, I understand." Simmons took out his employee card and swiped his card on the door handle. Suddenly, the car's lights flashed three times.

After he got in the car, he didn't find any major changes. He replaced the gas meter on the dashboard with an electricity meter.

There are many reasons why Homo sapiens companies eliminated gas vehicles.

On the one hand, it is because Homo sapiens companies are completely decoupled from the free world, and there is naturally no need to comply with international patent laws.

On the other hand, it is to save energy and reduce the waste of gold resources.

After all, using the micro gas turbine + lead-acid battery model, the maximum thermal efficiency is only about 50%.

If every micro gas turbine generator uses a gold-based thermoelectric power generation system, the thermal efficiency can indeed be increased to 97%.

The problem is that the cost of doing this is to replace every car with a gold-based thermoelectric power generation module, which requires a huge amount of gold.

Therefore, it is better to switch to pure electric vehicles directly and use the high thermal efficiency of the power station to generate electricity for charging.

But pure electric vehicles also have disadvantages, namely battery life, battery energy density, battery charging speed, and battery safety.

In addition, current lithium batteries require the use of a large amount of lithium and some rare earth materials, which is not conducive to large-scale application.

After research by the Science Division, they came up with a brand new material: fullerene-nano sodium aluminum material.

This thing has several advantages.

One is a fullerene-nano-sodium-aluminum solution with high energy density and a concentration of 5.7%, which can store 0.7 kilowatt-hours of electricity per liter.

Second, the stability is very good. The charging process of fullerene-nano sodium aluminum molecules is the combination of two fullerenes-nano sodium aluminum molecules; and the discharge process requires irradiation of infrared rays with a wavelength of 950 nanometers.

If it is not irradiated by infrared rays, fullerene-nano sodium aluminum will not discharge.

Third, the temperature adaptation range is relatively large, and it can work normally from 253 degrees Celsius to minus 106 degrees Celsius.

Fourth, the discharge is thorough, and there will be no situation where the discharge reaches 20% and the discharge cannot continue.

Fifth, the production cost is relatively low, and the service life can be as long as about 12.7 years.

With so many advantages, the advantages of liquid-filled electric vehicles are very obvious.

Moreover, previous inflatable stations can be transformed into liquid-filled stations without the need to lay out large-area charging piles.

The advantage of liquid charging is that it is faster than plugging in. It can be fully charged in a few minutes instead of waiting for hours.

After all, current plug-in electric vehicles, even if they use a 380-volt charging pile, can quickly charge in half an hour. If they use a household 220-volt circuit, or a North American 110-volt circuit, the charging speed will be even more impressive.

There is no comparison in speed between the two.

The energy density of the fullerene-nano sodium aluminum solution is 0.7 degrees per liter, and the specifications of the electrolyte storage tank are similar to those of fuel vehicles.

Usually it is 40 liters for mini cars, 60 liters for small cars, 90 liters for medium cars, and it is set according to needs for large and heavy cars. You can even hang an external fluid tank to increase the cruising range.

The Obsidian 5 that Simmons rented has a 90-liter electrolyte storage tank that can store 63 kilowatt hours of electricity.

In fact, some long-distance buses will add an auxiliary fluid tank to double the electric energy storage.

Simmons drove his electric car to the door.

"Sophia, this way!"

Sofia got into the car with her parents.

After turning on the automatic driving assistance mode, the car drove towards the Binhai Hotel.

"Sofia, have you booked a room?"

"I've booked it. The double room here is cheaper than the single room."

"By the way, Sofia, there should be a yacht rental station here, right?"

Sofia took her mobile phone and searched: "Well, there are three yacht rental companies. Do you want to rent a yacht?"

Father-in-law Aosta was a little worried: "Yacht? Don't spend money randomly, we can just bask in the sun on the beach."

Sofia smiled and shook her head: "Dad, what are you thinking about? How much does it cost to rent a small yacht? Simons earns more than 4,000 yuan a month, and this 10-seater small yacht only costs 10 yuan a day."

"..." Aosta was shocked. Even after experiencing the golden age of Europa, they did not have such a luxurious life.

Sophia changed the subject: "The weather in Europa has been a bit unusual recently. How about I find you a nursing home here? In addition, my mother's diabetes also needs thorough treatment. I will make an appointment with the local hospital."

"Can we stay in the Homo sapiens company's nursing home even if we don't have insurance here?" Aosta was a little unbelievable.

Simmons interjected: "Yes, as long as you have children working in Homo Sapiens Company, you can apply. The company does not require employees to pay insurance premiums, and we do not play such financial games."

"It's really good." Aosta could only sigh that the Homo Sapien Company has a lot of money and can take advantage of it. Who would refuse such benefits.
