Chapter 1196: Chapter 642: Car Body Design with a Strong Sci-Fi Quality (Please Subscribe) _2

At that moment, Ding Yue felt that his Audi was not appealing at all.

What’s the point of driving an Audi?

Wouldn’t it be great to drive a new energy car full of sci-fi coolness manufactured by Feiyue Group?

Right!

It only then occurred to Ding Yue that Feiyue Group would soon be manufacturing new energy vehicles, but he hadn’t yet named the model he was going to create.

But there was no rush for that.

For now, he needed to resolve various preliminary designs and develop the in-car system first.

The only thing that had been finalized was the graphene battery, which could be produced for this new energy car by Feiyue Group at any time.

As for the in-car control system, Bin and his team were still working intensely, but they were almost done.

Once the Feiyue Home streaming media platform was set up, the next step would be the new energy car’s in-car control system, which was developed based on Big White’s intelligent system. It wasn’t nearly as complex as Big White’s, achieving just one-tenth of its functionality and performance was already impressive, so it wasn’t difficult at all, even quite easy.

Ding Yue pondered that he might turn to the consumers for help in naming the car.

"Principal Ding, I believe this car design excellently combines sci-fi and automotive elements. What do you think, Principal Ding?"

Chief Chu Jiannan expressed his opinion then asked Principal Ding.

"Hmm, very nice."

Ding Yue nodded with satisfaction and then asked, "Isn’t there a fifth design drawing?"

"The fifth one is a bit aggressive."

Chief Chu Jiannan spoke and then handed over the fifth design drawing to Principal Ding while continuing, "The shape might not align well with public aesthetics."

Ding Yue was curious to see what this rather aggressive car model looked like.

He received the design drawing from Chief Chu Jiannan, and Ding Yue was stunned.

Good grief!

It definitely was aggressive!

The style of this car didn’t seem like something used on Earth, it had more of a spaceship vibe, but designing the car in this way would indeed be too glaring.

No wonder Chief Chu Jiannan felt the need to warn him that this fifth design drawing was relatively aggressive!

Seeing this, Ding Yue thought the third and fourth drawings were better, with the fourth, which was incredibly sci-fi in texture, satisfying him the most.

"Chief Chu, this is indeed a bit too aggressive. In that case, the third and fourth ones are good. Personally, I prefer the fourth."

Ding Yue said with a smile.

"Then, Principal Ding, shall we go with the fourth design for the car model?"

Chief Chu asked.

"Let’s do this, since we are making new energy cars, we want both sedan and SUV models. For the sedan, which suits the sci-fi vibe better, let’s use the fourth design. For the SUV, since it’s a bit taller, let’s use the third design, which also has a sci-fi feel but is more approachable at the same time. What do you think, Chief Chu?"

Ding Yue thought it might be best to use both the third and fourth designs, one for the sedan and another for the SUV.

"That’s also a good idea."

Chief Chu Jiannan nodded in agreement, thinking Principal Ding’s idea was quite good.

"You guys have worked hard on designing these models. At the end of the year, the company will prepare a generous bonus for everyone, great job everyone!"

Ding Yue said cheerfully to the students in the lab.

"Thank you, Principal Ding!"

At these words, the students couldn’t contain their excitement.

This was their first time participating in the work of Feiyue Group, which was affiliated with their school, and to receive a bonus from Feiyue Group on their first involvement was too awesome!

"By the way, Chief Chu, if you think the students from the automotive engineering program at Mist City Arts and Science University who participated in the lab’s car model design are all quite outstanding, then contact the HR department at Feiyue Technology and have them all come to the company. Wouldn’t that provide them with a better stage?"

Ding Yue said to Chief Chu, who was responsible for the car model design this time.

When Chu Jiannan was at Chang’an Group, he had been the chief automotive engineer. When he came to his own Feiyue Group, Ding Yue still appointed him as the chief engineer.

It wasn’t that Chief Chu lacked ability, but at Chang’an Group, many of his ideas were not adopted by the top management of Chang’an Group. After coming to his own Feiyue Group, it was evident that Ding Yue saw that Chief Chu was very spirited when working, showing that he was doing the automotive engineering work he loved.

"Of course, Principal Ding."

Chu Jiannan nodded and responded.

"Next, let’s make the physical bodies of these two car designs, and once the car factory is finished, we will start mass production."

Ding Yue briefly explained the tasks for Chief Chu and his team.

For now, only the car designs had been finalized. The next step was to create the physical prototypes based on the design blueprints.

Then, based on these physical models, once the car factory was finished, mass production would start, followed by the assembly of the vehicles.

"Of course, Principal Ding, we will definitely hurry and try to complete these tasks soon."

Chief Chu Jiannan responded with a determined look.

Because Chu Jiannan knew that Principal Ding planned to launch this new energy vehicle from Feiyue Group before the end of the year, and it was already November. Time was of the essence, and everyone was striving to save time. Naturally, he couldn’t slack off in the car model aspect to which he was assigned.

"Good, I believe in you."

Ding Yue nodded pleasedly, smiling as he spoke.

After instructing Chief Chu and his team at the lab, Ding Yue left, as it was almost time for lunch.

On the way to the Fifth Canteen, Ding Yue was about to take out his cellphone to browse the news for a while, when he saw a notification about new energy vehicles.

"Penguin New Energy Companies just released the Penguin T666 today?"

Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan, his secretary, after seeing the notification on his phone.

"Today?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan also took out her phone, checked, and indeed, the news topic had just ended its release event for Penguin New Energy Companies’ latest model T666 new energy vehicle.

"I’ve been so busy, I forgot to follow up on this."

Ding Yue muttered, opened the news and read about the specifics of Penguin’s T666 new energy vehicle, including various parameters and configurations.

Firstly, the car model; compared to the previous models, there was indeed some progress, but Ding Yue felt that this car body was far behind the one he had just seen designed by students Zhu Jie and Liang Yichen from the automotive engineering program at Mist City Arts and Science University.

However, to give credit where it’s due, Penguin’s T666 did have a bit of a sci-fi feel to it.

It seems that many manufacturers and companies know that in the future, the sci-fi quality of cars will become increasingly important. After all, the era is evolving, and releasing cars similar to the older Santana model would definitely not be profitable nowadays.

Then Ding Yue looked at the most crucial thing about new energy vehicles.

Yes!

The battery!

Because Penguin Car’s new energy vehicles use the new energy batteries from Europe’s Mantech Group, it had improved battery life compared to before, but it definitely could not compare to his own Feiyue Group’s graphene batteries.

"The battery life exceeds one thousand kilometers."

Ding Yue thought to himself upon seeing the key data — that’s it?

It’s not that a battery life exceeding one thousand kilometers wasn’t strong compared to the previous two to four hundred kilometers range of new energy vehicles.

But.

Compared to Feiyue Group’s graphene batteries, that figure was just child’s play!
