Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 290 Amoeba

  After ordering a new car, An Feng considered disposing of the old car.

Car nostalgia can be left in the garage to look at it a few times a day, but the maintenance cost of the aircraft is too high, and the parking fee alone is burning money. Even if An Feng has money, he has to spend it on what he wants. He doesn't mind burning money, because he will need it when he goes out.

  Currently he has three business jets and one helicopter. There are obviously too many business jets, and he can't use them a few times a month when they are not busy. After weighing, I decided to keep the Gulfstream G650ER and Global 8000, the original Cynas Citation X, and change hands, it is still worth some money.

  After the new helicopter is in hand, he will also sell this order. The money from selling the business jet and helicopter should be able to fill the vacancy of buying a new helicopter. In this way, he can make ends meet, which is quite a good deal. Joanna agrees, there's no need to keep planes you don't need.

Two days later, technicians came to the house, all employees of GP company. They brought minicomputers and holographic imaging equipment, and they were going to renovate his study to realize holographic projection communication within the range of ten square meters. Attend meetings without leaving your home.

For high-end home-use holographic equipment, the image quality that Anfeng wants is the second level shown by Hoffman last time. Although the first level is fake, but the requirements are too high in all aspects, it is not suitable. The second is easy, and there are two requirements : A computer that takes care of graphics rendering; a sufficiently fast network.

As far as the current computer is moved, it uses 24 CPUs and 8 professional graphics processors, all of which are the crystallization of graphene technology. The frequency of a single chip is five times that of Ares, so it uses water cooling to dissipate heat, but the full load power consumption is also low. But slightly higher than an air conditioner.

There is also the bandwidth of access. Anfeng uses enterprise-level 1000Mbps, which is reserved for nerds. Basically, it takes more than ten seconds for a movie, provided that the writing speed of the hard disk can keep up, but the custom-made computer is equipped with the best Storage hardware can be ten times faster.

  After the installation of the holographic communication room was completed and the range was adjusted to cover his desk, An Feng couldn't wait to test the world's first private holographic communication. The target of the connection was the conference room of Ans Industries, where several employees were involved in the commissioning work.

The room darkened, and the lights and shadows flickered and intersected. In the holographic communication area, several employees appeared. The company's office could not be seen completely, because the area of ​​the office was much larger than here. According to the normal proportion of projection, he could only accept the corresponding area. But the image is clear.

  Anfeng's requirements are not high, and his own communication area of ​​10 square meters is enough, and he is not a company, so it does not make much sense to use large-area projection equipment. After the test, he communicated with the GP company in Texas, and took the time to have a small meeting with the CEO to discuss Maserati.

  Hawley sat in front of An Feng's desk, the two faced each other, and could not feel the difference.

Hawley has adapted to the impact of these technologies, and the topic focused on business affairs: "At present, we have appointed a new CEO of Maserati, and the original one has become a vice president. After discussion among the directors, we agreed to set up the electric vehicle department in the United States. together with the manufacturing plant."

   "What about the location?" An Feng was more concerned about this.

   "We showed them the advantages of your area, environment and transportation, and they all agreed to build a new factory near the racetrack." Hawley said.

   "Very good." An Feng was very satisfied, "The specific investment and site selection should be done as soon as possible, and we will strive to release new cars next year to seize the opportunity of new energy."

"We all have the same opinion. At present, the existing models are converted into electric versions. After passing the test, they will be launched, and new models will be developed in the future, or the same model will be used..." Hawley said some results of discussions with Maserati directors. The suggestions are very detailed.

  After hearing these decisions, An Feng was very satisfied. He said, "Let's do it."

"Okay, sir." Hawley nodded, put away his notebook, and when he was about to end the call, he asked: "This technology is really amazing, sir, do you want to promote it to other directors? Considering that their residences are too far apart, it is not a major meeting If you go back and forth frequently, you don’t have enough time.”

   "No problem, let's consider commercial use." An Feng said.

   "I will." After Hawley finished speaking, he nodded slightly at him, hung up the communication, and the video disappeared.

"Not bad!" An Feng was very satisfied with the quality of the image. He clicked on the notebook on the desktop a few times and looked at the bandwidth usage just now. He found that some enterprise-level ones were overkill, and the bandwidth occupied by small-area holographic communication is not much. Any order of magnitude will do.

  …

  Another thing worthy of An Feng's concern is the racing track.

His race track has already been built, and he started recruiting race track staff as early as two months ago. After a round of assessment, An Feng selected a supervisor to manage the operation of the race track for him. An Feng made an agreement with him This morning, go to visit the racetrack.

  Before the helicopter was transferred, the supervisor had already arrived ahead of time.

  David Robert, in his forties, with a medium build, is very kind, and seems to have no temper. An Feng chose him for two reasons: Angela's recommendation; and he had held management positions in other racing circuits. So having Robert on the job can make a difference.

  Because it was the first visit after the completion, Joanna was also interested; although there would be no danger in the air, Guli was interested in racing and also participated. The last four got into the helicopter together, and Fred drove his old friend off the ground and headed straight for the race track.

  After flying for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the sky above the racetrack.

  Robert said: "I suggest watching its overall structure in the air first."

The helicopter began to fly around the racetrack at low altitude, and Robert also introduced at the same time: "The total cost of the racetrack is 410 million US dollars, and the land cost is low, so most of the funds can be used for key issues. There are three tracks in total, one standard F1 track , two 3-kilometer short tracks."

"The F1 track is mainly used in Formula One, but it can also be used for other events, such as Moto GP, Indy Car Race, etc.; the short track mainly considers different racing needs, such as karting, F3, or racing. A demanding touring car race."

"So it is a comprehensive racing track. In addition to the three tracks, there are also tracks that can be used for 1/4 and 1/2 mile acceleration races. If you extend it, you can also expand a race that is enough for a one-mile straight-line acceleration race. Road, surrounded by independent bleachers."

"The spectator capacity of the racetrack is very large. In addition to the main stand that can accommodate 45,000 people to watch the game, there are also open-air stands in different areas, which can accommodate up to 250,000 people. It is guaranteed to be the most popular event. The racetrack also has Enough space to carry it."

  After the aerial tour, the helicopter landed in front of the grandstand.

After An Feng got off the plane, he gave Joanna a hand and helped her down, and then Robert continued to introduce them: "On my left is the main stand, which is divided into upper and lower floors. Below the main stand is the news center, the souvenir area and the racing car Field command area, and a dedicated channel."

"And to my right is the living area of ​​the team, which is divided into two floors. The first floor is all the maintenance area, with a total of 40 maintenance rooms. The passage outside the maintenance area can be used as a test drive area and staff activity area. The second floor It can be opened to tourists, considering setting up VIP seats."

  Due to the large size of the racetrack, it is impossible to visit on foot. They went to experience it in a car.

The main stand is the most important part of the racetrack. If there is an event, the main stand will be the most lively. Activities such as the start of the car, the pit stop to refuel, and maintenance are all displayed in front of the audience. It is also the highlight of the final high-speed sprint finish. There will be countless flashes of spotlights.

   Behind the team living area is Anfeng's museum.

  The Sports Car Museum has only one floor, but it covers a large area, enough to accommodate hundreds of cars and receive professional maintenance. At present, Anfeng's seldom-driven sports car, Ferrari's two-generation flagship, McLaren F1, Pagani zonda-r, Lamborghini's racing car, etc. have been parked.

   After the visit, continue to drive to the track.

  The car was not driving fast, and Robert was explaining the details and highlights of the track.

"The total length of the F1 track is 5.625 kilometers, with 18 corners. In addition to the high-speed corners that can bring 3.5G acceleration to the F1 car, there are also difficult corners that allow the car to drop from 300 to 120 per hour. In order to cope with the bumpy corners And considering safety, this curve is inclined."

An Feng looked at the U-shaped high-speed curve outside the window. The car needs to climb a short slope, then go downhill, and then make a sharp turn. If the corner speed is too fast, there will be insufficient downforce, causing part of the car to hang in the air, and it will lose control. poses danger, so the tilt protects the car.

   Run the entire track slowly, and then drive out.

The outside is the main entrance of the racetrack, and the ground and underground parking lots, the ticketing area and the entrance passage for tourists are built, while the special passage is beside it for the large trucks of the team, which can directly lead to the inside of the racetrack and the living area, ensuring The movement of the fleet is convenient.

  Finally they were back in the racetrack press area.

  Robert asked: "The racetrack is about to be put into use, have you thought of naming it, sir?"

The racing track must have a name, but An Feng couldn't think of a reliable one. He originally wanted to name it "Maserati", but it was a bit inappropriate for the world competitions he would apply for in the future. He couldn't hold back a few other names, and finally Solicit their ideas and each think of a name.

   "Do you have any good ideas?" An Feng asked.

Robert said his opinion: "What do you think of 'Amoeba'? You see, besides the main track, the racing track also has a straight-line acceleration zone, a variety of tracks for different purposes, and can be diverted if necessary to increase difficulty and Fun, like an amoeba."

   "Amoeba?" An Feng thought for a while. It means amoeba. To be honest, it is quite suitable for the track because it can change in various ways.

   "I feel very image." Joanna said.

  An Feng read it a few times and felt it was appropriate, so he made a decision: "Okay, I will use the name 'Amoeba International Circuit' to make an appearance."
