Chapter 359 Electric Cars and Computers
After the protection measures for the ruins museum and the underground palace were completed, this place seemed to have become a dazzling pearl, attracting the attention of countless people.
It has become one of the most fascinating tourist destinations on the island of Sumatra.
Those who come to Nanhua for tourism will not hesitate to list this place as a must-stop on their itinerary as long as time permits.
Especially for those travelers who love history and culture and pursue in-depth experience, this place is simply a holy place in their hearts.
Due to the huge number of tourists, the ancient Dian people had to take flow control measures in order to protect their cultural relics and sites.
Especially for the underground palace, one needs to make an appointment several months in advance to be eligible to visit.
And this reservation is not free, the ticket fee must be paid in full.
If you fail to arrive on time, your reservation will be cancelled and the payment will not be refunded.
Every day, many tourists who have failed to make a successful reservation are eagerly waiting, hoping to have a chance to grab the few spots that are temporarily vacant.
Those tourists who have successfully made reservations and visited the site are filled with awe for this ancient Chinese relic.
They marveled that such a huge underground palace could have been built thousands of years ago, and they admired the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients.
After satisfying his desire for pranks, Wang Ze lost interest in this place.
Despite this, whenever he used his computer to browse web forums and saw people enthusiastically discussing the ancient Dian people, he still couldn't help laughing out loud and would click in to watch the fun.
At the same time, Wang Ze received an invitation to attend the production launch ceremony of Nanhua Electric Vehicles.
This news attracted widespread attention and was reported by many media outlets.
Most of these reports focus on the electric car itself, which has impressive performance: it can travel up to 400 kilometers at a time!
And when the battery runs out, it only takes two minutes to replace it with a fully charged battery at a special station and continue driving.
Of course, if there is no direct place to replace the battery, you can also charge it through the home line, but this process is relatively slow and it takes ten hours to fully charge the battery.
However, for daily home use, even if you choose to charge it yourself, it is sufficient.
Plug it in every night when you get home, and enjoy a fully charged battery the next morning.
A range of 400 kilometers means that if you only use it for commuting to and from get off work, you don’t have to worry about running out of power within a month.
In addition, the design of the headlights in front of the vehicle is even more eye-catching.
The flashing gradient light strip gives the car a unique charm and vitality, attracting everyone's attention.
"That's right. You should release a new car model at least every two years. Don't keep using this style. You also need to update your two-wheeled electric vehicles. It's been a long time, and they are still the same as before." Wang Ze said after visiting and test driving.
He believes that products need to be constantly innovated to meet market demand.
The factory manager on the side nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely pay attention to this aspect and promised to increase research and development efforts.
At the same time, he also said that he would guarantee the launch of a new two-wheeled electric vehicle within two months.
On that day’s Nan Hua Evening News, everyone saw the report of clan leader Wang Jize inspecting the electric vehicles coming off the production line.
Electric cars have become a hot topic for a while. People in Nanhua are well-off and have strong purchasing power. Even though this electric car costs as much as SGD, many people are still willing to buy it.
The current price of a gasoline car on the market is around S$5000.
Major automobile countries such as the United States and Germany have car sales outlets in South China, and they are very interested in this electric car.
They purchase vehicles as soon as they are available for sale and quickly ship them back to their home country's automakers for disassembly and analysis.
Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, this electric car is undoubtedly more competitive.
Especially in terms of starting speed and acceleration, there is a clear gap between traditional gasoline vehicles and electric vehicles.
However, they soon discovered the problem: the electronic control system and battery technology were beyond their current capabilities.
After reaching this conclusion, major automobile manufacturers have requested to purchase batteries and electronic control systems from Nanhua.
After all, they are used to sourcing many parts from third parties and assembling them in their own factories.
Unfortunately, Nanhua still states that it only accepts payment in SGD.
However, the new coins they earn from selling cars in the Nanhua Market will be directly confiscated by the government and then converted into their own currency for settlement.
They can neither purchase the items they need nor conduct in-depth research because no country in the world has yet been able to produce practical products comparable to these batteries.
They are just car manufacturers, how can they be compared with a country?
How can they do it even if the national level has not yet overcome this technical difficulty?
Since the stores across Nanhua started selling the product, there has been a situation where supply exceeds demand.
After purchasing a vehicle, the South Chinese can resell it almost immediately for Singapore dollars.
If US dollars are accepted, it can be sold at a high price of US$50,000.
However, for ordinary citizens living in Nanhua, the currency they use in daily life is limited to the Singapore dollar. Even if they convert it into US dollars, it is of little practical use.
Even though you have a lot of US dollars in your hands, it is difficult to exchange them back into new currency again.
Today, although the official exchange rate stipulates that 1 Singapore dollar can be exchanged for 0.5 US dollars, in black market transactions, the highest exchange rate of one Singapore dollar can be exchanged for as much as four US dollars.
Faced with such a chaotic situation, the South China government adopted a laissez-faire attitude. In any case, it only recognized the official exchange rate in name.
Even if no one comes to exchange dollars or other currencies at the official exchange rate.
On the economic level, South China is effectively out of touch with the rest of the world.
Since Nanhua possesses a large number of leading technologies, it is difficult for other countries to imitate and manufacture them. They can only purchase these products by exchanging high prices for new currency.
Especially in the fields of computers and today's popular electric vehicles, which are directly aimed at the mass consumer market, the wealthy people in various countries do not care about the losses caused by exchange rates, and a mere tens of thousands of dollars is not unbearable for them.
Therefore, many wealthy people in various countries have begun to learn Chinese.
After all, the text on the computer systems and electric vehicles produced by Nanhua is not available in English or other languages. The only available language is Chinese.
Fortunately, since you need to type in pinyin, Nanhua has a built-in letter input function.
Of course, if you don't understand anything, it won't help even if you are given a computer.
Moreover, all the practical tools above are displayed in Chinese, which makes knowing Chinese a fashion and trend.
In addition, Nanhua’s Computer Research Institute launches a new software every once in a while.
Nowadays, there are not only office software, but also simple drawing software and even various design software.
These software are also very useful for people from other countries.
Whenever Nanhua released the latest software, they would rush to buy the software and then copy it using Nanhua's CDs.
Faced with this situation, countries have increased their investment in the computer field, thus promoting the rapid development of the world's computer industry.
It can be said that the speed of computer development in this world has far exceeded that of the world before Wang Ze traveled through.
