Chapter 46: A Seismic Shift is Coming to the Automotive Industry!

"Is this really charging the battery? When did wireless charging technology advance to this stage?" Tian Jun blurted out as he watched the scene unfold on the giant screen in the auditorium.

They had also been researching wireless charging technology. Forget about charging power batteries; even charging smartphone batteries was utterly chicken-ribs—useful for nothing, discarded with regret!

Even if smartphones came equipped with wireless charging functions, many users refused to use them because the efficiency was simply too low.

Yet now, He Xingzhou's electromagnetic levitation vehicle was actually charging while in motion, and the charging efficiency was higher than the energy consumption!

"If this kind of technology is popularized, the implications are unimaginable!" He had already envisioned various application scenarios. This was an era of electrical and electronic appliances; if they all adopted wireless charging technology, the entire world would undergo earth-shattering changes!

"Coming today was totally worth it, totally worth it!" Tian Jun laughed heartily. He immediately called the company's senior management and said, "I made this trip today and struck gold. Quickly send the corporate business team over—we must secure the technology authorization from He Xingzhou's team!"

Beside him, Wan Zhe, a senior executive sent by BYD, was also on the phone with the group's executives, recounting his experience at the scene.

"This is a disruptive technology! The performance of He Xingzhou's electromagnetic levitation vehicle is a whole tier higher than the latest technology we've developed! The automotive industry is about to undergo a massive upheaval!"

Entrepreneurs and representatives from other countries could no longer sit still after witnessing the wireless charging test.

"The situation seems even worse. Not only can they charge wirelessly, but the ultimate problem plaguing electric vehicles has also been solved by him!" Rhodes was rapidly writing an urgent email to his headquarters.

"President, they've unveiled another new technology, and this will deal us a devastating blow!" The Toyota representative said anxiously into the phone.

"Headquarters, I request an immediate emergency meeting of the group!" Representatives from German groups such as Volkswagen, Bosch, and Continental were even more panicked.

They had come here only because their groups' representatives in China had strongly advised them to take a look. Initially, these people dismissed the road test, assuming the so-called magnetic levitation vehicle was merely hype and a gimmick.

Yet who could have imagined that not only was the car real, but the various technologies it showcased completely upended the current automotive industry and its related technologies!

Its practicality had already reached the level of large-scale commercialization.

Once the electromagnetic levitation vehicle industry rolled out, wouldn't China become the undisputed leader of the automotive industry?

At this thought, these representatives felt a chill in their hearts. They knew that if things continued this way, not just their own groups, but the entire German automotive industry would suffer a devastating blow!

The days of reaping vast fortunes simply by relying on technological patents were probably coming to an end.

He Xingzhou's test was drawing to a close. The speed of the three electromagnetic levitation vehicles was noticeably much faster than traditional cars.

By the time they completed their tenth lap, the traditional vehicles had only run half the distance.

Of course, the speed had already exceeded the limits permitted on conventional roads.

The driving speeds of electromagnetic levitation vehicles and magnetic roads required re-evaluation by transportation experts; naturally, it was impossible to restrict them with normal highway speed limits.

When the "wheeled" electromagnetic levitation vehicle driven by He Xingzhou crossed the finish line, the venue erupted into enthusiastic cheers and celebrations.

"Safely arrived, old He, you're a legend!" He Xingzhou's roommate, Wang Jiahao, shouted from the stands, and He Xingzhou specifically waved back at him.

"Brother, did you see that? I watched the whole thing, absolutely zero issues!" A viewer was excitedly video-calling a friend. "So cool, I really want to ride in an electromagnetic levitation vehicle and experience it!"

"It succeeded, the road test succeeded!" Researchers and automotive engineers of the electromagnetic levitation vehicles were also present at the site. They had all participated in the birth of these cars.

At this very moment, a surge of pride welled up from the bottom of their hearts!

"The electromagnetic levitation vehicle we participated in building, the world's very first electromagnetic levitation vehicle, has been born as of today!"

"Being able to participate in such a project is the absolute highlight of my life!"

"Hahaha, brothers, let's all go out for a drink later and not stop until we're drunk!"

"Brother, did it succeed?" He Mengyao rushed forward excitedly at the finish line and asked.

He Xingzhou checked the electronic screen, where the displayed test data all fell well within the preset passing thresholds.

He nodded and said, "Basically a success."

"That's wonderful!" He Mengyao hugged him excitedly and said, "Brother, you are amazing!"

"That's not just regular amazing; this has already surpassed the world's top level!" Shen Bingbing, a television reporter standing nearby, praised with a radiant smile, her eyes curving into crescent shapes.

By now, the camera crew had caught up, followed closely by a large group of media workers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see. The world's first electromagnetic levitation vehicle, jointly developed and designed by Comrade He Xingzhou and his team, has performed with all data and indicators normal throughout the road test, bringing it to a successful conclusion!" Shen Bingbing reported to the camera.

"Here, we congratulate our R&D team. Their wisdom and sweat have achieved such dazzling results..."

In front of televisions and across the internet, millions of viewers witnessed this scene in real-time.

"66666!"

"He Xingzhou is a legend! The electromagnetic levitation vehicle was actually successfully developed!"

"This is the strongest video creator I follow. When he first posted his videos, I thought he was just making models!"

"This is just too insane!"

"I watched the whole thing, the electromagnetic levitation vehicle is too cool! I want one so badly! When will they be produced and sold?"

"Hurry up and mass-produce them, then I won't even need to take a driving test! I keep failing Subject Two!"

Some viewers, unable to contain their excitement, began sending virtual gifts in the livestream room.

"Tiramisu gifted a Super Rocket!"

"5646~Little Blade gifted 9,999 flowers in celebration!"

"Eternal Heart gifted a Super Sports Car!"

Gift special effects and a barrage of flying comments flooded the livestream room, skyrocketing its popularity to tens of millions and making it the number one trending livestream on the entire platform!

And this was only the beginning!

At this moment, the state television station was conducting live interviews, and other media outlets quickly followed suit.

Xinhua News Agency: "Breaking News: Chinese scientists have independently developed an electromagnetic levitation vehicle with speeds capable of exceeding the speed of sound, holding breakthrough technological patents in electromagnetic levitation, autonomous driving, and wireless charging!"

The Paper Trends: "Electromagnetic levitation vehicle road test a success, a three-minute video overview!"

Tencent Push: "The world's first electromagnetic levitation vehicle successfully tested in our country; large-scale commercialization is just around the corner!"
