My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 1053 - 622: Nice Name (Part 2)

This allows them to flexibly adjust product types and production capacity based on market demand, and even provide customized services according to customer needs.

This is also the main reason why Idol New Energy can launch 8 models at once.

However, the biggest drawback of modularization is often the insufficient rigidity of the car body, which can easily "fall apart upon collision".

But now the engineer tells him that, using clever design, they have made their weakness comparable to their strengths...

If he remembers correctly, didn't the opponent say at the press conference that these car designs were assisted by their AI?

So... was Bado designed by Bajie?

Then immediately surpassed the world's best automotive designers?

Indeed, the gap between humans and computers is simply too vast...

Even he can hardly imagine the speed of AI development.

However, such an analysis result undoubtedly makes the situation even worse.

Without any weaknesses, combined with the production characteristics of modular design, the ramp-up of Bado Series's production capacity can be exceptionally swift.

After all, the final assembly line has little technical content and does not require massive resources and vast land area.

As long as there are enough suppliers, they can fully rely on Country Hua's solid industrial base to rapidly add a few, or even dozens, of final assembly lines...

This is exactly like the military industrial system playbook during World War II.

If necessary, the entire nation can be mobilized: you produce the chassis, I produce the turret.

Finally, tanks roll off the assembly line like dumplings, forming a despairing stream of steel...

And now, he feels this sense of despair.

These Bado Series that are crazily rolling off the production line are not only consolidating Country Hua's market share, snatching potential future clients that should belong to them.

But also relying on Shanghai's surrounding ports like Yangshan, Zhoushan, Gaoqiao, Luojing, Wusong... 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Exporting in small batches each month to Southeast Asia, Europa, and even the American Continent on the scale of thousands of vehicles.

And this should have been their sales route...

Idol New Energy has paved the way, leaving them with no path to tread!

While it currently has not caused significant impact on their primary overseas market,

everyone understands that it's only because most of the opponent's production capacity has been absorbed by Country Hua itself.

Once the opponent finishes ramping up production, these small-scale exported products will become their pathfinders.

At any time, they can shift from tentative export and exploring trade routes to large-scale dumping...

The market after all is only so large, and the potential customers are just so many.

According to such development trends, if Tesla's technology cannot make breakthroughs in a short time, then not to mention competing for the Country Hua market, whether they can hold onto their overseas market in the future is uncertain.

And the bet agreement they signed with such confidence at that time may now become a sword hanging over their heads...

After all, if the cars don't sell and the terms of the bet are not met, not only will the land be forcibly reclaimed, but also the billions of RMB already invested in the Superfactory will become a significant sunk cost!

"Sigh!" The man known as Iron Man sighed helplessly.

He doesn't think that his Superfactory investment plan is a strategic mistake, just didn't expect anyone in the world could make a leapfrog technological breakthrough.

Including the sudden emergence of Ark One this time...

His company is named Tesla in tribute to the unscientific scientific pioneer, the father of alternating current, Nikola Tesla.

And now, it seems the opponent has a demon comparable to Tesla… Demon Hunter!

No matter how excellent and farsighted an entrepreneur, facing such players who play completely unorthodox, can only lament being born at the wrong time...

If possible, he indeed really wants to personally visit this legendary figure.

Hmm… and see if he could lure them over with his grand vision for the future.

But this thought only flashed for a moment before he denied it himself.

Such talent, not to say it's impossible for them to join a foreign company, even if he truly succeeded in persuading them, Country Hua would likely come after him immediately...

He shook his head self-deprecatingly.

Composing himself, he now faces a difficult decision.

Eithe​r continue advancing the Superfactory plan while increasing R&D investment, striving to close the technological gap between the two in the shortest time to regain market favor!

Or… abandon the Superfactory plan, cut the losses in time!

Though the loss of hundreds of millions of US Dollars is indeed painful, knowing full well that they can't compete and still stubbornly charge into the opponent's base makes no sense, other than to continuously enlarge the losses, and accelerate their demise...

What even more unsettles him is whether all this is just a coincidence of business competition.

Or is Shanghai collaborating with Idol New Energy for a precise targeting against him?

After all, he had just signed the bet agreement with full confidence, and Idol New Energy's forceful rise really resembles... what does that ancient saying from Country Hua say?

Right... Close the door and beat the dog!

As for the motive... could it be that his Starlink System has already severely threatened Country Hua's strategic security, and they purposefully dug a big hole to trap him?

"Oh right, Boss, during the teardown process we also found this."

While Musk was frowning in deep thought, a middle-aged engineer presented a box.

A few fingernail-sized, blue-packaged components lay quietly inside.

The surface of the components was inscribed with "甲" in calligraphy...

"What is this?"

"It should be, without a doubt, the hot Light Chip 'Jia' from Country Hua recently.

In the opponent's vehicles equipped with high-level intelligent driving capability, all are installed with this never-before-seen AI chip.

I think the reason why the opponent's autonomous driving performance is so powerful is likely related to this new type of chip."

Musk picked up the box, looking at the slightly shimmering patterns on the surface of the chips inside, he furrowed his brows.

Being outmatched in autonomous systems and automotive design is not a big deal, but even in computational power core innovation, the opponent has a leap forward innovation...

How can they compete?

"I need to find a friend, I'll take these chips first…"

"Okay, Boss!"

...

An hour later.

At Invista, Jason Huang with a Chinese-American face looked at the few pieces of "Jia" Musk handed over, his eyes slightly twitched.

"So, they are already using it for high-level autonomous driving?

Looks like the AI algorithm processing performance of this 'Jia' is even stronger than I imagined..."

"Oh! So you are also paying attention to it?"

"Of course, its emergence can be said to have utterly ruined more than a decade of our efforts..." Jason Huang showed a face filled with a bitter smile.

Invista, to those who like playing games, will certainly not be unfamiliar.

This is a company focused on GPU development, its RTX series gaming graphics cards could be said to dominate the market.

And in recent years, it has been proactively planning AI chips, through constructing its CUDA platform, attracting millions of developers, forming a formidable technical ecological barrier that other competitive companies could hardly surpass.

Under normal circumstances, it was about to assume a central role like the "shovel supplier" in the coming AI gold rush era, becoming an unstoppable global player.

Yet, the appearance of the Light Chip, merely due to its extremely low energy consumption and training cost, it crushes all the advantages of traditional electronic chips entirely!

The consensus among mainstream scholars is emerging, which is that Light Chips will inevitably replace traditional chips, becoming the basic computation power platform of the AI era.

"With the situation this severe, don't you have any countermeasures? If my intelligent driving system is inferior in computational power, it's even more impossible to surpass the opponent."

Jason Huang's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally, he opened his mouth.

"Of course, there are countermeasures. In fact, just a few days ago, the opponent had just made public all the patents related to 'Jia' Light Chips.

The process does not matter; we are currently in communication with high-level authorities, aiming to acquire the opponent's patent license to produce our own Light Chips."

"Oh? That's great then, when will production start?"

"Top management demands that it be as soon as possible...sigh! Thanks to it, our 'Black Well' project has been forced to halt, and it was an impressive chip."

"Old technologies will always be replaced by new technologies, this is an unavoidable process.

I need some production capacity to experiment with new algorithms.

Oh, by the way... What are you planning to call your Light Chip?"

"Hmm... Haven't thought about it yet, but... how do you like 'Black Light'?"

"Hmm... nice name!"
