“When does Jones Day’s new car launch start?”

"Nine thirty."

"There are still thirty minutes... where are the people?"

…

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, at booth 15 of the main science and technology exhibition, Zheng Jiawen was adjusting the microphone while talking to the photographer.

Zheng Jiawen is a Chinese reporter for Australia's "Technology Weekly". He has been working on the front line of reporting for a long time. Now that the global science and technology exhibition is held, his workload has tripled. Zheng Jiawen is so busy every day that Xiahai University of Science and Technology yesterday

Shine. After he finished writing the interview script, he received an interview notice from Jones Day’s new product launch conference.

Jones Day is a world-famous automobile company, and with the technology exhibition buff, there are many newspapers paying attention to Jones Day. This morning, he and the photographer came over early. But except for a few reporters, there was no sign of a press conference. Jones Day 365, 366 models

On the booth. Not only are there few reporters here, but even the staff are too busy to be seen...

"The new car launch conference is held at 9:30?" Zheng Jiawen stepped forward and asked as a staff member was cleaning up.

"New car launch conference?" The staff was stunned.

"Yes, Jones Day concept car." Zheng Jiawen took out the document and informed. If the time and place were not clearly written on it, he would have suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.

"The venue has changed." The staff suddenly said.

Ten minutes later, Zheng Jiawen arrived at the entrance of Sanshi. At this time, dozens of cars of various sizes were parked around Sanshi. Their bodies were all printed with words such as 'New York Times', 'Sinotruk Times' and 'Global Auto News'.

Zheng Jiawen opened the working group email——

Zhongda new car launch conference changed venue: Sanshi No. 1001.

Change time: May 3rd at 9:30.

The email was sent at three o'clock in the morning. I slept soundly and didn't notice it.

"Reporter Zheng, where are we now?" The photographer looked around. It's now nine-twenty. Although they are not late, they can't get a good seat...

"Let's go in." Zheng Jiawen took a deep breath. Although there is no good location now, it is better than leaving empty-handed. The two of them went in carrying cameras. Perhaps driven by xh001, the number of tourists in the market doubled from yesterday. Zheng

Although Jia Wen is a science and technology reporter, this is his first time to visit the retail market.

Five minutes later, the two stopped at booth 1001. There are 1,000 booths in the retail market, and 1001 is a temporary addition. Now the south lawn is surrounded by a 500-square-meter open space. The open space is surrounded by silver booths and promotions with 'Jones Day' printed on them.

Calligraphy and painting. In the center is a 5x5 large square platform. There is a medium-sized car on the square platform. The car is covered with a layer of silver cloth, so visitors cannot see the specific thing, but I guess it should be the focus of Jones Day's exhibit.

"Kaka——"

As the time approached, reporters took photos enthusiastically. Jones Day put the new car launch conference together with Xia Hai... What a big deal.

The reporters were full of enthusiasm, and many tourists gathered around to join in the fun. In just a short while, more than 3,000 people surrounded the Jones Day booth.

…

"Manager Tang..." Jiang Dagui felt dizzy at Xia Hai's booth five meters away.

Two hours ago, he and Tang Yi were resting in the hotel. The overseas student called, and Jones Day Automobile Company was displaying its display next to it. Jiang Dagui and Tang Yi were not stupid and sweet, so naturally they did not think that Jones Day was just displaying their display. Now they have a

When I was young, I couldn’t understand Jones Day’s operations.

"Take a look and then talk." Tang Yi glanced at Zhongda's booth.

"Media and friends, welcome to today's Jones Day new car launch conference..." At 9:30, Bruce stood in the center of the booth. Bruce is the senior vice president of Jones Day Automotive and has rich experience in launching new cars.

"Mr. Bruce, may I ask why Jones Day changed its location to a retail market?"

"Th250 is Zhongda's new car for the next quarter. What are its advantages and features?"

"Mr. Bruce..."

…

After Bruce finished his simple opening remarks, the reporter asked questions below. According to Jones Day officials, the new car is called th250 and it is this year's flagship model, but the configuration features were not disclosed in advance.

"Cutting the ribbon."

Bruce didn't hide it, and directly ordered the staff to open the car cover. Under the car cover was a red car. The car continued the Jones Day square face structure, the body lines were smooth, and the four car lights were designed with a pattern. The overall appearance was better than before.

The style is more rounded and domineering.

"The th250 adopts an automatic suspension design, eighteen airbags, and reinforced steel anti-collision beams..." Bruce patiently explained as the staff moved. On the LCD screen behind him was the design concept and structure of the th250.

Bruce pressed the remote control, and the four tires of th250 were put away, hanging in the air in a very energetic manner.

Auto-levitation is a brand-new design concept. A day ago, reporters on site would have marveled at Jones Day's epoch-making design. But at this time, reporters and tourists were in a daze.

"Mr. Bruce, what is the difference between th250's automatic suspension and xh001's?"

A reporter from 'Pineapple Weekly' asked a question. After speaking, he pointed to xh001 next to him. Visitors on the scene flashed across a path. th250 and xh001 faced each other in the air, and the shortest distance between them was only ten meters. Now Xia Hai's booth is open

Following the warning line, xh001 is also hanging in the air. And from the appearance, xh001 kills th250 instantly.

"According to Xia Hai, xh001 can automatically levitate for 72 hours and has a height of 3 meters." The reporter added the xh001 data.

Both the Zhongda Xiahai and the Xiahai are autonomously suspended. One is a long-established car company, the other is a new technology. Now they are put together... This is the rhythm of tearing apart.

"TH250 adopts a gas suspension structure with a maximum height of 1 meter and can last for 2 hours."

"2 hours? The data is a bit miserable..."

"Is this definitely a new model from Jones Day?"

"Are Natsumi's data accurate?"

…

The reporters on the scene looked at each other in confusion. Appearance, height, sustainable time... Jones Day was completely defeated by Xia Hai.

"Mr. Jiang, xh001 has a big impact on th250..." As they looked at each other, Bruce picked up the phone and looked at Jiang Dagui coldly.

The attention at the scene was directly focused on Jiang Dagui.

"Xia Hai's honor." Jiang Dagui was chatting with Tang Yi. He was stunned at first, and then shrugged. He is becoming more and more general-like now!

"Kaka——"

The shutter sounds. The reporters have already thought about the next press releases, such as 'Jones Day vs. Xia Hai', 'Who touched the Jones Day cake' and so on.

As the shutter clicked, Tang Yi sneaked aside. Today he had three layers of beard and his clothes were changed into dark blue short-sleeved shirts.

"Mr. Jiang, this is a Jones Day data tester. I hope to test drive 001." Bruce did not disappoint everyone. He pointed to the audience. They were two British men with elite temperament. At this time, the two were watching.

Holding 001, recording something on the side.

"Of course." Jiang Dagui glanced in the direction of Tang Yi. As a functional AI, he had full confidence in the system products. The two testers walked towards Xia Hai. The reporters followed closely. Under the control of the security of the science and technology exhibition, the reporters and the booth

Keep a distance of five meters.

"Zhongda is a little stingy." At the end of the reporter line, the photographer whispered to Zheng Jiawen. They arrived late and were originally at the back of the queue. Now they have been moved to the second row.

"Hmm." Zheng Jiawen adjusted the microphone. Jones Day first set up the booth next to Xia Hai, and now sent someone to test it. It is indeed a bit petty...

Five minutes later, two testers came to Xia Hai's booth. They first checked it over, then knocked on the hood and looked at Jiang Dagui.

"Can you open it and take a look?"

"Okay." Jiang Dagui verified with a very high-tech hand, and the hood slowly opened.

Different from traditional rubber foam, the xh001 hood is made of some glue-like q-bomb materials like 'jelly'. The bottom includes traditional systems such as engines, electric oil circuits, brakes, etc. The two checked it out and, under Jiang Dagui's guidance

Get off and get on the bus.

Get in the car, close the door, and start it.

xh001 was driving like yesterday. Based on yesterday's experience, everyone focused on 001's tires.

xh001 drove along the main road for a circle, then the tires lifted up and switched to automatic suspension mode.

After driving for two laps, the car suddenly accelerated towards the south side of the stadium. There was a water room half a man's height there. If the two collided, the driver's life would not be in danger, but the body and water tank would not be saved.

"Is this a test of Natsumi's automatic braking system?"

"Too cruel."

"This is inhumane..."

Reporters took photos one after another, and many condemned Jones Day's inhumane behavior.

"A real impact?"

"After testing, it should not be life-threatening."

Inside xh001, the two testers were equally nervous. Although they knew there was no danger, it was still extremely mentally challenging to rush into it like this.

When xh001 was fifty meters away from the water house, the two stepped on the accelerator and closed their eyes. Five seconds later, no debris flew as expected. There was only fifty centimeters between the front beam of the car and the wall of the water house.

The two got out of the car, and the xh001 braked well without any damage.

"Same as yesterday, no collision."

"After actual measurement, the speed just now was 200km/h. How did this violate inertia..."

"It should be related to the anti-collision setting of xh001."
