There should be a lot of people watching Xiaomi's automotive technology conference today, right?This time, although Xiaomi only releases technology and not products, judging from the heat of the warm-up in the past few days, there are still many people who want to know about Xiaomi cars. Especially last night, Xiaomi directly issued a tribute to the pioneer of China's new energy vehicle brand, which was well received and welcomed by the industry. At the press conference, Xiaomi's few words exposed its ambitions in the automotive industry, Lei Jun said that in the next 15 to 20 years, it will become the world's top five car manufacturers and build Chinese's "dream car".
Did you hear Lei Jun say this, many people think it is impossible. But I think it's still very possible for Xiaomi to achieve it. After all, it has only been three years since Xiaomi Auto was manufactured, and it has already surpassed it in many key technologies. Lei Jun has been sharing with you his concept of building cars for a while now, that is, to pay more than others, with a heart of awe, and to build cars seriously. After all, the car is a century-old track, unlike smartphones with a history of only more than ten years, Xiaomi has achieved the forefront of the world in a few years, and when it enters the automotive industry, Xiaomi has thought about fighting a protracted war.
Xiaomi's efforts in the past three years have also become the capital of Lei Jun's three-hour speech at today's Xiaomi automotive technology conference. At the press conference, Lei Jun didn't know how many times he had applied for patents and the number of patents authorized. These numbers may not sound perceptible to everyone, but the increase in each unit of patents is the sweat of thousands of engineers working day and night on Xiaomi Automobile. For example, Xiaomi is the only car manufacturer in China that has both full-stack self-developed large die-casting, clustering, and self-developed alloy materials, and has launched a 9,100-ton super large die-casting and titan alloy.
For large die-casting technology, you may not know very well. This technology was pioneered by Tesla, which achieved 6,000 tons of die casting for the first time and completed the feat of 70 parts into one in Shanghai. The smaller the number of parts, the better the stability of the car, especially in the event of an accident collision, the less easily the body will deform. For the sake of safety and trend, even though the R&D cost of large die-casting is high and difficult, Xiaomi still has the courage to develop its own products, and now it has achieved 9100 tons of super large die-casting, surpassing Tesla.
