Homo sapiens.

Chapter 514 Automobile Innovation
Red Sea, Hongku Port.

As the first area in North Africa developed by Homo sapiens, there are very few traces of North Africa. The modern city, with a permanent population of more than 84, and a large number of tourists, make this place very lively.

Of course, the hustle and bustle inside Homo sapiens company is not the kind of crowd.

A subsidiary of Homo sapiens company's Entertainment Division, there is a subsidiary called "Travel Data Network", which 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 according to the scale of a city's infrastructure, service staff, and tourist facilities.

For example, the port of Hongku, where Simmons and Sophia's family came, has a local tourism index of 2.6.

2.6 means that the local area can only receive a maximum of 2.6 foreign tourists every day, because the exclusive guest house + staff hotel + foreigner hotel here have a total of 1 rooms.

As for why the scale of the hotel is not expanded, the reason is that it is not necessary, and doing so will waste resources.

Homo sapiens' approach is not to expand the scale of the hotel, but to rationally divert traffic and avoid tourists from congregating in a few cities.

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

He had never been to Hongku Port for tourism before, but because it is the industry of Homo sapiens, many things are similar with minor differences.

On the side of the airport is the rental station.

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

"Ah."

Simmons walked into the rental station, and when the waiter saw him coming in, he stepped forward to say hello: "Hello, what car do you need?"

Considering that four people need to be transported, Simmons asked, "An SUV."

"No problem, here is the list." The waiter projected a large list of SUV models and car rental fees.

After watching for more than ten seconds, Simmons asked a little strangely: "Huh? Why is there no gas car?"

"Gas vehicles have been phased out, and now electric vehicles are used." The waiter explained with a smile.

"Why? Charging electric vehicles is too troublesome, or 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."

"Fluid filling? Charging electrolyte?" Simmons asked with some uncertainty.

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

"Thank you, just this 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 Gem Motors appeared in front of Simmons.

"It can be activated by simply swiping the card."

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

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

There are many reasons why Homo sapiens eliminated gas vehicles.

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

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

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

If the generator of each micro gas turbine is replaced by the Jinji 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 directly to pure electric vehicles and use the high thermal efficiency of power stations to generate electricity for charging.

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

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

After the research of the Science Division, they have given a brand new material: fullerene-nanometer sodium aluminum material.

This thing has several advantages.

One is high energy density, fullerene-nanometer sodium aluminum solution with a concentration of 5.7%, can store 0.7 kWh of electricity per liter.

The second is very good stability. The charging process of fullerene-nanometer sodium aluminum molecules is the combination of two fullerene-nanometer 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.

The third is that the temperature adaptation range is relatively large, and it can work normally at 253 degrees Celsius to minus 106 degrees Celsius.

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

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, the previous inflatable station can be transformed into a liquid-filled station without the need for a large area of ​​charging piles.

The advantage of liquid filling is that it is faster than plugging in, and the power can be fully charged in a few minutes instead of waiting for hours.

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

The speed of the two is not comparable.

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

Usually 40 liters for mini cars, 60 liters for small cars, 90 liters for medium-sized cars, and large and heavy cars can be set according to needs, and even an external tank can be hung to increase the cruising range.

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

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

Simmons drove the electric car to the door.

"Sophia, this way!"

Sophia got into the car with her parents.

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

"Sophia, have you booked a room yet?"

"It's booked, the double room here is cheaper than the single room."

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

Sophia searched with her mobile phone: "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 waste money, we can bask in the sun on the beach."

Sophia smiled and shook her head: "Dad, what are you thinking about? How much does it cost to rent a small yacht? Simmons earns more than 4000 yuan a month. This kind of small yacht with 10 people 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 topic: "The weather in the Europa area is a bit abnormal recently, why don't 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."

"We don't have insurance here, can we still live in Homo sapiens' nursing home?" 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 don't play this kind of financial games."

"It's really good." Aosta can only lament that Homo sapiens is rich and powerful, and there are advantages to take advantage of. Who would refuse such benefits.
