[Hot spot observation]

　　Author: Ai You (Professor, School of Arts, Capital Normal University); Ruan Nanyan (Associate Professor, College of Literature, Zhejiang Communication University)

　　From "Three-body" to The Wandering Earth, from sci-fi literature to sci-fi movies and TV shows, since the 21st century, the number of high-quality domestic sci-fi literary works has increased from less to more, the group of sci-fi creators has been expanding, and the new Chinese-style sci-fi narrative discourse of the national, scientific and popular people has gradually formed, all of which indicate that "a new era of science fiction in China" has arrived.

　　Imagination is on the wings of soaring.

　　For a long time in the past, when it comes to the shortcomings of China’s science fiction, some people think that China’s writers and artists lack imagination.

　　That was not the case. Looking back at the history of China literature and art, we can see a large number of stories and works with high quality and imagination everywhere: fairy tales such as Jingwei’s reclamation and The goddess patching the sky imply creative fantasy paths, and many poems (poems about immortals), essays (strange essays, strange notes) and novels (fairy tales and fairy tales) are engraved with rich and wonderful fantasy factors.

　　Although those fantasies are not "scientific fantasies", the seeds of imagination have long been deeply rooted in the soil of China’s traditional culture. China sci-fi creators who grew up in this land naturally have imaginative genes, and their imaginative perspectives have unique national characteristics different from their western counterparts. In recent years, China’s new generation of sci-fi literature and art has been writing incessantly, and excellent works have appeared frequently, all of which are closely related to this imagination.

　　For example, Liu Cixin’s "Three-body" creatively combines the development of science and technology with the "Three-body Problem", deeply digs into the mysterious techniques of Zhouyi and exquisite Mohist institutions, and makes China historical figures such as Zhou Wenwang and Mozi shine on the same stage as foreign scientific giants such as Newton and von Neumann, thus showing the world in nationality. The imaginative descriptions such as dehydration, soaking and two-way foil in the works enable readers to appreciate the diversity of cosmic civilization from a drop in the ocean.

　　For another example, Fei Deuterium’s "China Science Fiction Blockbuster" breaks through the traditional expression of science fiction, and combines China’s ancient mythology, the way of Confucius and Mencius, the theory of Laozi and Zhuangzi, Buddhist meditation and the common elements in science fiction — — Cyberspace, space exploration, and the end of mankind are all mixed together, telling a story with grotesque colors but profound implications, which makes the works show extremely distinctive China characteristics.

　　In addition, Wang Jinkang’s Mercury Sowing, Han Song’s Tombstone of the Universe, and Diptera’s Ecological Ball in the Universe are also full of rich imagination. The authors of these works lead everyone into a unique sci-fi space by building a future picture that transcends everyday life. There are time-space folding, AI awakening, star tearing, light speed transition, black hole drifting, alien invasion, and Chinese’s perspective of observing the world and thinking about the future.

　　From the aesthetic point of view, the essence of the imagination of sci-fi works is the understanding of the relationship between works and reality, involving the world outlook, material outlook, the relationship between the real world and the imaginary world of the imaginary subject or the recipient. Therefore, although science fiction is about the imagination of the future, many of its contents have the transcendence of facing the future, but they also have the localization based on the national cultural tradition. If China science fiction wants to develop, it is not how to stimulate the imagination of the creators, but how to imagine the universe and the future of mankind from the perspective of China. Only in this way can we create a science fiction world and imagination aesthetics different from the West.

　　Science and technology provide hard core support

　　Imagination is an important factor affecting the creation of science fiction, but it is not the only factor. After all, science fiction is not a simple fantasy.

　　Whether it is science fiction literature or science fiction film and television, they are born on the basis of the continuous development of science and technology. Throughout the 200-year history of world science fiction literature and art, every breakthrough in science fiction literature and art can not be separated from the leap-forward development of science and technology. For example, space travel and gene cloning, which science fiction fans are familiar with, more or less reflect the scientific and technological innovations in the real world.

　　On the one hand, the sci-fi ideas in sci-fi works are mostly constructed on the basis of scientific theories. For example, the "dark forest law" in Three-body is related to Fermi paradox, evolution theory and Hawking’s cosmic prediction in reality. On the other hand, real scientific and technological achievements provide realistic support for sci-fi imagination. For example, the nano-flying blade, particle collision, proton blockade and water droplets in Three-body are the extension of the research results in the micro-world, and the clones, new intellectuals and virtual life in Roses of Carthage and Strangers reflect the application of cutting-edge biotechnology. In addition, the development of science and technology has also enriched the theme of science fiction literature and art. In recent years, new themes such as "StarCraft", "Steampunk" and "Cyberpunk" in the field of science fiction literature and art are all related to the popularity of these concepts in real life.

　　If imagination is inserted into the soaring wings of sci-fi literature and art, then science and technology provide hard-core support for sci-fi literature and art, and help sci-fi literature and art "fantasy come true". This is because the creation of sci-fi works such as sci-fi movies needs strong industrial strength and technical strength to provide support. The film and television of "Three-body" has been brewing for many years, and it was not until the technical level reached the requirements in 2015 that it was filmed. Many devices in Wandering Earth 2 have "prototypes" in reality. For example, the ubiquitous mobile robots in the film are all robot products in reality; The cool mecha that can be transformed into "Hercules" in the film is an "exoskeleton robot" that has entered the real application. In short, the rapid development of science and technology has provided sci-fi creators with materials to write and inspiration, and also provided material basis and technical means for the creation of sci-fi movies, making the sci-fi world more "touchable" and "sensible".

　　At present, a new wave of science and technology represented by artificial intelligence, quantum engineering and genetic engineering is emerging. In this wave of science and technology, China’s achievements are obvious to all, and it has realized "observing the sky with the eye of the sky", "exploring the moon with Chang ‘e" and "Kuafu" day by day, all of which provide inexhaustible power for China sci-fi creators to fly their imaginations. We believe that with the support of technology and the efforts of creators, China science fiction will surely usher in the spring of a hundred flowers.

　　Humanistic feelings shape the core of value

　　Three-body, whether it is The Wandering Earth or not, has become a phenomenal sci-fi work, not only because of its fantastic ideas and hard-core technology, but also because it is different from the individual heroism in western sci-fi works, conveying the humanistic spirit and values with unique China characteristics combined with sci-fi sense, which can best represent the characteristics of China’s sci-fi.

　　In the The Wandering Earth, Liu Peiqiang’s great righteousness in boarding the space station has the love of protecting his family, and Tu Hengyu’s determination to sacrifice for mankind is full of deep love for his daughter. They attach importance to family ties and care about the dedication and sacrifice of the world, which is an expression of Chinese feelings inspired by the feelings of home and country. In the works, it is not an individual who finally saves the crisis, but everyone’s Qi Xin’s concerted efforts. Without everyone, there is no small home. The work shows the audience what collectivism is and perfectly explains China’s idea of "isomorphism between home and country".

　　Paying attention to the future and destiny of mankind is the common theme of science fiction works all over the world. However, different sci-fi works give different answers to how to deal with the common challenges of mankind. Unlike some foreign sci-fi works, which pin their hopes of changing human destiny on a few superheroes, China’s sci-fi works advocate the establishment of a community of human destiny. Whether it is Three-body, The Devourer or Micro-Era, it vividly depicts the alliance of human beings against natural disasters in the universe and the impact of alien civilization, reflecting Chinese’s world outlook and values.

　　From the perspective of "the community of human destiny", China’s sci-fi works have also expanded the ethical dimension with a global perspective, not only paying attention to the major powers in the world, but also focusing on the third world countries neglected by the mainstream sci-fi creators in the world. For example, Glory and Dreams shows the stubborn resistance of the "Republic of West Asia" to hegemony and colonialism. At the same time, with the increasingly severe global challenges, China’s sci-fi creators have also added thoughts on the ethics of life science and technology and the ethics of ecological science to their narrative ethics, calling on everyone to unite and struggle for the common interests of all mankind from a transcendental perspective, which reflects the value concept of "harmony and symbiosis" and the idea of "one world under one family" in China culture.

　　No matter from the perspective of creation or industry, there is still a gap between us and developed countries in science fiction, but this gap is narrowing. China science fiction is constructing a completely self-consistent logic system and value system, which will profoundly affect the trend of the world science fiction pattern. In the future, China’s sci-fi creators should pay attention to and describe the common challenges faced by mankind from a broader perspective, explore the ultimate destiny of mankind, and build a sense of "community of human destiny", which is not only the pattern that sci-fi creators should have, but also the inevitable requirement for China’s sci-fi to become bigger and stronger.

　　In Guangling Economic Development Zone, the workshop of hot die forging intelligent equipment project is under construction. The project was built by Yangli Group with an investment of 850 million yuan. After completion, it can produce 10 intelligent production lines of large servo multi-position presses and 50 sets of intelligent equipment for hot die forging every year.

　　Industrial machine tools (machine tools) are the basis of manufacturing industry, and are called "the heavy equipment of the country". For a long time, the domestic high-end CNC machine tool field is highly dependent on imports. Yangli Group invested in the construction of a complete set of intelligent equipment for hot die forging, and advanced into the field of high-end industrial machine tools, which is a vivid case of the breakthrough in the industrial chain of industrial machine tools and robots in our city. The data shows that there are 65 industrial enterprises in the industrial chain of industrial mother machines and robots in the city, which have formed the characteristics and advantages of metal forming machine tools, high-end single (set) equipment to drive the development of complete production lines and integrated application of industrial robots.

In addition, in the subdivision of forming equipment for passenger car panels, the overall technology of intelligent flexible stamping production line for passenger car panels developed by Yangli Group is leading in China, and its customers include domestic and foreign well-known automobile manufacturers and first-class suppliers, and its domestic market share is among the best.

　　Breakthrough of "Yangzhou Legion"

　　Industrial machine tool is one of the advantageous industries in our city. Four of the top 10 domestic metal forming machine tool manufacturers are located in Yangzhou, namely Yangli Group, Yawei Co., Ltd., Yangzhou Forging and Jinfangyuan. Hanjiang CNC forming machine tool industrial cluster was selected as the national small and medium-sized enterprise characteristic industrial cluster in 2023, which is the only one in the middle and northern Jiangsu.

　　In recent years, the "Yangzhou Corps", an industrial chain of industrial machine tools and robots, has continuously increased its scientific and technological research and development efforts and conquered a number of key new technologies. The project technology of "Key Technologies and Complete Equipment for Intelligent Sheet Metal Processing" developed by Yawei Co., Ltd. is leading in China. A number of key core technical research projects, such as automatic hot die forging complete sets of equipment for Yangzhou Forging and Yangli Group’s large brake clutch with low inertia, have filled the gaps in China. Guiyu Aviation has developed and manufactured a variety of high-precision machine tools to meet the domestic market demand.

　　In addition, Yawei Co., Ltd. and Yangli Group have built a national-level industrial Internet logo analysis secondary node to provide enabling services to the industry. Yawei Zhiyun of Yawei Co., Ltd. was approved as the national industrial Internet demonstration platform, providing "hard+soft+cloud" integrated intelligent manufacturing services for more than 1,000 downstream SMEs. With the help of industrial Internet platform, Jiangsu Yizhong CNC machine tool developed a remote customer service support system to provide remote monitoring, fault diagnosis, guidance and maintenance of machine tools. In terms of market expansion, enterprises in the industrial machine tool industry in our city have laid out new fields such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaics and 5G.

　　Industrial machine tool is the "machine tool", which is the foundation of manufacturing industry and has an important supporting position in the national economy; Robot is an important symbol of scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level, and it is also the new blue ocean of manufacturing industry in the future.

　　Yangzhou industrial machine tool industry has a long history and a solid foundation, forming the characteristics and advantages of taking metal forming machine tools as the main part, cutting machine tools as the supplement, and high-end single (set) equipment to drive the development of complete production lines. Especially in the field of metal forming machine tools, it is unique. Four of the top 10 domestic metal forming machine tool manufacturers are in Yangzhou. However, compared with advanced regions, there are still problems such as small overall scale and insufficient industrial support, which need to be continuously exerted to promote the upgrading of the industrial chain.

　　I have three suggestions: First, promote the backbone enterprises to become bigger and stronger, aim at expanding the industrial scale, and concentrate superior resources to cultivate key enterprises. The second is to consolidate the supply chain foundation of the industrial chain and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional parts supporting enterprises to intelligent greening; Carry out professional investment promotion in the field of machine tool supporting, and strive to make a breakthrough in the local supporting of key core components. The third is to strengthen the platform construction of integration of production and education, guide key enterprises to strengthen cooperation with institutions of higher learning, and promote the construction of integration of production and education.

　　Mobile display of the latest Russian T-90C main battle tank wearing a new camouflage system [data photo]

　　Russian Deputy Defense Minister makarov told Russian media on the 22nd that Russia is testing a tank with excellent performance, and the test work will end next year, and the army will be produced and equipped in 2009.

　　Ten years ahead of the west

　　Makarov said that the combat performance of this new type of tank is better than that of all types of tanks at home and abroad, and its running device, driving device, fire control system, weapon, target identification and reconnaissance system are all new.

　　The analysis pointed out that Russia’s new tank is most likely the T-95 speculated by the outside world. As early as the mid-1980s, the former Soviet Union started the development plan of the fourth-generation main battle tank T-95, but it stopped for various reasons. This new tank weighs 50 tons, and its length and width are basically the same as those of T-72 and T-80. It has absorbed many advantages of active tanks and given more special properties, which has far exceeded the new main battle tank being developed in the United States. It is said that it will take at least 10 years for the west to catch up.

　　The fourth generation of new modeling

　　According to the data, the firepower is one of the biggest advantages of the T-95. In addition to the comprehensive strike fire system, its gun-launched missiles can penetrate 1200 mm thick armor at a long distance, and the hit rate is guaranteed to be above 80%. The T-95 has a maximum off-road speed of 85km/h and is equipped with an intelligent suspension device, which doubles the off-road speed and improves the stability by 10 times.

　　In terms of protective measures, T-95 adopts all-titanium alloy modular armor with high strength and good toughness, so that the resistance can reach or exceed 1500 mm thick steel plate. Different from the previous Russian tanks, the T-95 broke the tradition and adopted the unmanned turret design, and its automation degree was obviously improved. The tank crew will be reduced to two, namely the captain and the driver (and mechanic). It pays attention to the ergonomic design, the cockpit is completely separated from the combat cabin with armor plates, the chair is comfortable, the cabin activity space is more spacious than other tanks, and the fatigue factor caused by narrow space is reduced.

　　In addition, the T-95 is equipped with the most modern radio equipment. With its low profile, powerful artillery, advanced protection and anti-dust measures, T-95 can have an advantage in the confrontation with any modern tank.

　　Russia stepped up its armament.

　　Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his State of the Union address in April this year that Russia must continue to strengthen its armed forces, and Russia has begun to implement the national weapons and equipment plan for 2007-2015, most of which should be used to purchase new weapons and military technology and equipment in bulk. According to Russian media reports, Russia’s defense budget in 2007 was 822 billion rubles (US$ 1 is about 25 rubles), which means that Russia urgently needs weapons and equipment, most of which will be used to update naval weapons and equipment, at least 50% of which will be used for submarine forces.

　　Military industrial complex is the success of Russian defense industry, which has high technology and innovative vitality, and employs tens of thousands of people. In 2005, Russia’s weapons and equipment have been exported to 61 countries, with a total export value exceeding $6 billion.

　　Authors: Zhang Ming and Guo Guangyin (both special researchers of the New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought Research Center, the supreme leader of Jiangsu Province)

　　Culture is related to the country’s foundation and national luck, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be achieved without the prosperity of culture. It is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the historic achievements in propaganda, ideological and cultural work lie in the fact that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is at the helm and the scientific guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era of the Supreme Leader. General Secretary Supreme Leader’s new ideas, new viewpoints and new judgments on cultural construction in the new era are rich in connotation and profound in exposition. They are the theoretical summary of the practical experience of the Party’s cultural construction in the new era, enrich and develop Marxist cultural theory, constitute the cultural chapter of Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and form the cultural thought of Supreme Leader. Adhering to the guidance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the great practice of deepening Chinese modernization is an inherent and inevitable requirement for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and it is also an important task put forward by historical progress and the development of the times.

　　1. Leadership: firmly adhere to the party’s cultural leadership.

　　Propaganda and ideological and cultural work is related to the future and destiny of the party, the long-term stability of the country, the national cohesion and centripetal force, and it is an extremely important work. As an important manifestation of superstructure, culture is a theoretical reflection based on a specific economy, a concentrated expression of a specific class position and class interests, and has distinct ideological attributes. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and upholding the overall leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for promoting the development of modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the right direction.

　　Consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee established the fundamental system of adhering to the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, which is a historical conclusion and a realistic necessity. Marxism, with its thorough scientificity, popularity, practicality and openness, illuminates the road for human beings to explore the truth and realize liberation, and also rewrites the track of social and historical development in China since modern times, enabling the people of China to realize the ideological transformation from passive to active. The "modern" dimension of Chinese modern civilization is endowed by the scientific truth of Marxism from the perspective of world outlook and methodology. Chinese traditional civilization emerged into a contemporary form under the "activation" of Marxist truth power, and realized a modern transformation in the interaction with contemporary practice and contemporary life.

　　Consolidate the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people of the whole country. Ideals and beliefs are the "master switch" of world outlook, values and outlook on life. In the new era and new journey, we must strengthen the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and consolidate the ideological foundation of the people’s United struggle throughout the country. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, the supreme leader in the new era, adheres to the Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method, adheres to the basic principles of scientific socialism, profoundly sums up and makes full use of the historical experience of the party’s century-long struggle, inherits and carries forward the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, enriches and develops Marxism with brand-new ideological content according to the development and changes of the times and practice, and forms a systematic and scientific theoretical system. To create a new culture that belongs to our era and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must persistently arm our minds, guide practice and promote work with the Party’s innovative theory.

　　Carry out the overall leadership of the party in all aspects of propaganda, ideological and cultural work. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is not only an active leader and practitioner of China’s advanced culture, but also a faithful inheritor and promoter of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has systematically planned and deployed the propaganda and ideological and cultural work from the overall situation and strategic height. Held two national conferences on propaganda and ideological work, emphasizing that "the whole party must do a good job in propaganda and ideological work"; At the symposium on literary and artistic work, he pointed out that "the leadership of the party is the fundamental guarantee for the development of socialist literature and art"; At the party’s forum on news and public opinion work, it was emphasized that "the media sponsored by the party and the government are the propaganda positions of the party and the government and must be surnamed the party"; At the symposium on network security and informatization, it is required that "where the masses are, our leading cadres will go"; At the symposium on the work of philosophy and social sciences, he pointed out that "strengthening and improving the party’s leadership over the work of philosophy and social sciences is the fundamental guarantee for the prosperity and development of the cause of philosophy and social sciences in China"; At the national conference on ideological and political work in colleges and universities, it was emphasized that "the Party’s leadership over the work in colleges and universities should be firmly grasped" … … China’s propaganda, ideological and cultural work is constantly opening up a new situation, and the party’s cultural leadership is always unshakable. It is the fundamental guarantee that the party’s leadership runs through all aspects and links of the work.

　　2. Spiritual foundation: strengthen cultural self-confidence and enhance historical initiative.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "China has firm road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence, and its essence is cultural confidence based on more than 5,000 years of civilization inheritance". Only when a country or a nation has full confidence in its own cultural ideals and values, as well as its own cultural vitality and creativity, can it have the determination to persist, the courage to work hard and the vitality to innovate and create. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is the proper meaning of strengthening cultural self-confidence, and it is also the concentrated expression and future extension of cultural self-confidence.

　　The core content of Chinese excellent traditional culture has become the most basic cultural gene of the Chinese nation, which exerts a subtle influence on China people’s way of thinking and behavior. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Without the 5,000-year civilization of China, where would there be any China characteristics? If it is not the characteristics of China, how can we have such a successful Socialism with Chinese characteristics road today? " The world view, world view, social view and moral view contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture are highly compatible with the scientific socialist values. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation under the new historical conditions, we must keep the "root vein" of Chinese excellent traditional culture and absorb the wisdom and nourishment of contemporary China cultural construction from the rich resource pool of traditional culture; At the same time, we should go out of the "study" and "classics" to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, so that it can be integrated with contemporary social production and contemporary cultural forms.

　　Revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture are precious spiritual wealth with the characteristics of the times, national characteristics, China style and China style. They not only reflect the inheritance of Chinese excellent traditional culture, but also demonstrate the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, which is a powerful spiritual force to inspire the whole party and people of all ethnic groups to March forward courageously. In particular, the spiritual pedigree of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, which originated from the great spirit of party building, is a vivid embodiment of revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture, and has become a powerful spiritual driving force to inspire the whole party and people of all ethnic groups to explore a scientific road that conforms to their own reality with self-confidence and self-reliance, and to constantly overcome difficulties and move from victory to victory. Revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture not only have profound nationality, but also have distinct characteristics of the times and politics. They are powerful forces to shape the internal characteristics of modern Chinese civilization and important support to highlight the socialist value attribute of modern Chinese civilization.

　　To strengthen cultural self-confidence and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must stick to our own path. On the basis of remarkable achievements since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, historic achievements and changes have taken place in the cause of the party and the state in the new era, which is the most solid foundation for promoting the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation and strengthening cultural self-confidence. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The primary task of strengthening cultural self-confidence is to base on the great historical practice and contemporary practice of the Chinese nation, sum up China’s experience with China’s truth, and upgrade China’s experience to China’s theory, neither blindly following various dogmas nor copying foreign theories, so as to achieve spiritual independence." To strengthen cultural self-confidence and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation is essentially to proceed from the historical depth of culture, profoundly grasp the inherent regularity and purpose of our choice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics road, and constantly enhance the theoretical confidence of unswervingly taking our own road from the cultural and civilized levels.

　　3. Fundamental method: further promote the "second combination"

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "‘ The second combination ’ It is another ideological emancipation that allows us to make full use of the valuable resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture in a broader cultural space and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations. " The "second combination" shows that our party’s understanding of China’s road, theory and system has reached a new height, that our party’s historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height, and that our party’s consciousness of promoting cultural innovation in inheriting Chinese excellent traditional culture has reached a new height. Deepening the "second combination" is the fundamental way to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

　　Correctly handle the relationship between modernity and tradition, that is, the relationship between Marxist theory based on modern mechanized mass production and Chinese excellent traditional culture based on natural economy. The "second combination" is not a rigid combination in form, nor a simple physical reaction, but a profound chemical reaction based on mutual integration. Through "combination", Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture have achieved each other, forming a modern new civilization that not only follows the basic principles of Marxism but also highlights the profound connotation of Chinese civilization. On the one hand, it activates Chinese excellent traditional culture with the power of Marxist truth, and through creative transformation and innovative development, it blends Chinese excellent traditional culture with Chinese modernization, with modern social life, and with contemporary cultural forms to become modern, thus developing the modern form of Chinese civilization. On the other hand, the great spirit and rich wisdom of the Chinese nation will be injected into Marxism at a deeper level, and the essence of Marxist thought will be integrated with the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, which will be fused into new theoretical advantages and make Marxism become China’s.

　　Explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations in a broader cultural space. Chinese excellent traditional culture contains rich practical wisdom accumulated in the long history, which has important reference and enlightenment significance in the great practice of governing the country in the new era. From the people-oriented concept of "people are the foundation of the country" to the development idea of "adhering to the people-centered", from the great practice of "Taoism is natural", "harmony between man and nature" to "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", from "harmony among all nations" to "building a community of human destiny", the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core insists on combining the basic principles of Marxism with Chinese excellent traditional culture. We should dig deep into the unique cultural genes and spirit contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture, make full use of the precious resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations in a broader cultural space, which has provided a steady stream of power support for building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

　　Constantly consolidate the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation in "combination". A culture must have its own subjectivity in order to stand and go far. Since modern times, the Chinese nation has suffered from the disaster of "national humiliation, people’s hardship and civilization", and the cultural subjectivity has suffered a great impact. Rebuilding cultural subjectivity to realize the revival of civilization has become an important dimension to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Communist Party of China (CPC) stands at the forefront of the times, shoulders the heavy responsibility of rejuvenation, unites and leads the people of China, takes root in China, adheres to the Chinese cultural stance, combines the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, promotes the creative transformation and innovative development of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, inherits the revolutionary culture, develops the advanced socialist culture, draws lessons from and absorbs all the outstanding achievements of human civilization, and constantly consolidates the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation. The creation of the new era of the supreme leader, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, is a powerful manifestation of cultural subjectivity.

　　4. Promotion path: adhere to the organic unity of taking root locally and facing the world.

　　Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is not only the renewal of civilization, but also a great creation based on the practice of contemporary China. We must firmly adhere to taking root in the native land and absorb the nutrients and strength of civilization construction from the great practice of comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization; Adhere to openness and tolerance, and constantly enrich the garden of human civilization in promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.

　　Consolidate the realistic foundation of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is not to "sort out the national heritage" by returning to the study, nor is it simply to transform the traditional cultural expressions with modern concepts, but to make the excellent traditional Chinese culture adapt to modern production and connect with modern life. The modern civilization of the Chinese nation should be constantly generated in the great practice of Chinese-style modernization, and constantly mature in the mutual blending and adjustment with modern production and modern culture. Chinese-style modernization not only endows Chinese civilization with modern power, but also constructs a profound cultural heritage of Chinese-style modernization. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Chinese-style modernization is to continue the modernization of ancient civilization, not to eliminate it;" It is a modernization that grows from the land of China, not the modernization of other countries; It is the result of the renewal of civilization, not the product of the fracture of civilization. " Chinese modernization not only follows the general law of modernization, but also highlights the distinctive characteristics of China’s reality and cultural factors; It not only represents the modern development direction of Chinese civilization, but also highlights the new form of human civilization development, providing a steady stream of nutrients for the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

　　The modern civilization of the Chinese nation is both national and global. The concept expression of Chinese modern civilization includes two key words: "Chinese nation" and "modernity". "Chinese nation" shows the "Chinese and Western dimensions" of civilization construction, while "modernity" shows the "ancient and modern dimensions" of civilization construction. In fact, since modern times, people with lofty ideals in China have always been faced with the "dispute between ancient and modern China and the West", and there is a bipolar opposition between "total westernization" and "retro conservatism". Chinese civilization is a collection of diverse cultures, and it has outstanding inclusive characteristics, which fundamentally determines the openness of Chinese culture to the world civilization. The Communist Party of China (CPC) insists on not forgetting the original, absorbing foreign countries and facing the future, and correctly handles the dialectical relationship between the native land and the world, tradition and modernity in deepening the "two combinations", thus building a scientific path for the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "After long-term efforts, we are more qualified to crack ‘ The dispute between ancient and modern China and the West ’ ,It is also more urgent than any previous era to need a batch of cultural achievements that melt and cast ancient and modern, and connect China and the West. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must realize the organic unity of "adhering to the ancestors" and "speaking new words". We must not only inherit and develop China’s excellent traditional culture under the new historical conditions, but also uphold the concept of civilized exchange and mutual learning, constantly absorb all positive achievements of human civilization, promote the localization of foreign cultures, and constantly create new forms of human civilization.

With the success of Company No.9, Gao Lufeng entered the Red Sea of electric bicycles.

The electric bicycle industry is extremely involuted, which goes deep into villages and towns in China. It is not easy to get out of many enterprises, and the secret of the success of Company No.9 is the differentiated high-end.

Not long ago, Company No.9 held a new product launch conference. Gao Lufeng, founder and chairman of No.9 Company, said, "Based on our scientific and technological innovation and market insight, we hope to make the blue ocean bigger and the red sea blue, and win-win with the market and users."

In the eyes of the public, Company No.9, which firmly occupies the high-end market of electric vehicles, seems to be the most promising king to subvert the electric vehicle market.

However, if a fish knows how to drink cold and warm, it will become a high-end company, and at the same time, Company No.9 can’t escape the niche.

For a long time, the sales volume of No.9 electric vehicle is not at the same level as that of Yadea and Emma.

According to Sina Finance, in 2022, the total annual sales volume of electric scooters and electric bicycles in Yadea was 14.01 million, while the annual sales volume of Emma’s electric bicycles and electric two-wheeled motorcycles was 10.51 million. According to the annual report of No.9 Company, as of March 2023, the cumulative domestic shipment of No.9 electric vehicles was 1.5 million.

With such a big sales gap, can Company No.9 really rely on hard-core technology to achieve counterattack?

Relying on science and technology, Company No.9 is firmly in the high-end market.

In 2012, Gao Lufeng and Wang Ye jointly founded Company No.9, mainly involved in the field of short-distance transportation.

Different from ordinary entrepreneurs, Gao Lufeng, who graduated from Beihang University majoring in aircraft manufacturing, has been focusing on science and technology and innovation since the beginning of his business.

Gao Lufeng once said: "The company’s performance growth is mainly based on continuous innovation, constantly improving the scientific and technological content of products and enabling products to land."

At that time, Company No.9 successfully earned the first bucket of gold by relying on the first generation of intelligent balance cars with self-balance status.

Around 2013, with the rapid growth of mobile phone business, Xiaomi announced the "Xiaomi Ecological Chain" plan, and prepared to invest in 100 AIoT enterprises in the next five years.

Gao Lufeng was keenly aware that this was an opportunity for the rise of Company No.9, so he reached a cooperation with Xiaomi Company. In 2014, with advanced science and technology, Company No.9 became a member of Xiaomi’s ecological chain, and received A-round investment of more than 80 million US dollars from stars such as Xiaomi, Sequoia and Shunwei.

Facts have proved that Gao Lufeng’s choice is very correct, and cooperation with Xiaomi has indeed laid the foundation for the future development of No.9 company.

On October 19, 2015, with the official appearance of the No.9 balance car at the Xiaomi conference, Lei Jun also announced that it would be sold in Xiaomi omni-channel, and the No.9 balance car quickly became popular in the market and instantly became a phenomenal explosion product.

At the same time, in order to improve the technical core strength of No.9 Company, in 2015, No.9 Company successfully acquired Segway, the originator of the world balance car. After the completion of the acquisition, Company No.9 not only owns more than 400 global industry core patents, but also becomes a global leader in the field of intelligent short-distance transportation.

Since then, with the development strategy change of No.9 Company, the balance car is no longer its core business, but its concept of product strength has not changed.

According to the data of iResearch, one of the important elements that more and more consumers consider when buying a car is intelligent function.

The No.9 electric vehicle has a strong lead over other products in software and intelligent technology. In December 2019, Company No.9 officially released its first intelligent electric two-wheeled vehicle, which not only has a product design with both practicality and recognition, but also brings a subversive riding experience with its technological sense design. Many No.9 users feel that "No.9 is Tesla in the electric vehicle industry", which will be unforgettable once it is used.

With advanced scientific and technological design, the No.9 electric vehicle has quickly occupied the high-end market of smart electric vehicles since its listing.

According to the annual report of No.9 electric vehicle, in 2020, the sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle will exceed 100,000 in the first year of listing; In 2021, the production and sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle reached 420,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 300%; In 2022, the sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle was 826,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 96.6%.

According to the data of "White Paper on Two-wheeled Electric Vehicle Industry in China in 2023", Company No.9 has always been the first in the high-end market of two-wheeled electric vehicles by continuously focusing on brand technology innovation. According to the comprehensive sales data of two-wheeled electric vehicles in 2022, among the high-end product lines of more than 5,000 yuan, the sales volume of Company No.9 is in the first position in the industry, among which among the top10 models with sales volume of more than 5,000 yuan, Company No.9 has 8 models on the list.

In October, 2020, Company No.9 was listed in science and technology innovation board, Shanghai Stock Exchange, and successfully completed a gorgeous turn of a startup.

02 high-end positioning, but in the embarrassing position of small profits.

With the rapid development of No.9 company, its revenue level has been rising in recent years.

According to the annual report of Company No.9, in 2020, Company No.9 realized annual revenue of 6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30.88%, turning losses into profits for the first time, and the net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 73.3264 million yuan; In 2021, Company No.9 achieved annual revenue of 9.146 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 52.36%, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 411 million yuan; In 2022, the revenue exceeded 10.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.7%, and the net profit returned to the mother was 451 million yuan.

However, although the operating income statement of Company No.9 is strong, its gross profit margin is not optimistic or even ugly.

According to the financial report of No.9 company, although the company’s operating income has increased year by year and the growth rate is not low, its gross profit margin has been declining all the way.

From 2018 to 2021, its gross profit margin was 28.86%, 27.42%, 27.69% and 23.23% respectively.

Although compared with other two-wheeled electric vehicles, the gross profit margin of No.9 electric vehicle is very considerable, but as a brand focusing on the high-end market, its revenue has increased well, but its gross profit margin has been declining, which is not a good sign.

All along, Company No.9 has been in an awkward position of small profits, which has a great relationship with the deep bundling of Xiaomi Company.

In the early days, relying on the big tree of Xiaomi Group, Company No.9 did not worry about order income even though its wings were not full. In 2017, Xiaomi Group contributed more than 1 billion yuan in orders to Company No.9, accounting for 74% of its total revenue; In 2018, Company No.9 received an order of 2.434 billion yuan from Xiaomi Group.

However, although the income is good, it is difficult for suppliers to obtain high profits because Xiaomi products win with cost performance.

According to the prospectus No.9, the products of Company No.9 are in a state of small profits because Xiaomi products are oriented to cost performance and mainly adopt the profit sharing model. From 2017 to 2019, the gross profit margin of Xiaomi’s products sold by No.9 Company was 22.46%, 20.79% and 15.11% respectively, while the gross profit margin of No.9 Company’s own brand was as high as 42.58%, and the gross profit margin of Xiaomi’s products was significantly lower than that of its own brand products.

In order to increase the gross profit margin, Company No.9 chose to gradually untie Xiaomi Company and reduce the proportion of Xiaomi products in the company’s operating income.

I have to say that this move has indeed improved the gross profit margin of Company No.9.. According to the financial report, in 2022, the gross profit margin of Company No.9 rose to 25.97%, up 2.74 percentage points year-on-year. However, the net interest rate of Company No.9 also dropped to 4.43%, down 0.03 percentage point from the same period of last year.

At the same time, after leaving Xiaomi, the performance growth of Company No.9 is basically at a standstill.

Although the revenue and net profit of Company No.9 in 2022 still showed a double increase trend, compared with 2021, the growth rate of revenue and net profit returned to the mother dropped significantly.

In this regard, Company No.9 explained to the media that due to the epidemic situation, the logistics in some areas was interrupted, which led to the shortage of some important raw materials and parts of the company, resulting in delayed delivery.

However, Zheshang Securities analyzed that there will be some pressure on the short-term income of Company No.9, which is actually related to the decline of Xiaomi channel income.

Obviously, although Company No.9 wants to leave Xiaomi to achieve soaring, it seems that the road ahead is not easy.

03 quality problems are frequent, and the prospect of No.9 is not optimistic.

What’s even more embarrassing is that although Company No.9 relies on powerful intelligent technology to achieve cornering overtaking in the two-wheeled electric vehicle market, its product quality problems are frequent, so it has been criticized by many consumers.

According to Shandong Business Daily, in June 2022, Ms. Liao, who lives in Shantou, Guangdong Province, bought a No.9 n70c electric bicycle worth 3,599 yuan in a local No.9 electric bicycle shop.

Unexpectedly, less than half a year after the purchase, there were various failures. Although several dashboards were replaced, they still failed to solve the problem. There are still system failures such as black screen, Bluetooth unable to connect, and APP showing that the vehicle is offline, but the vehicle has been unable to start and use normally, and it has become an electric brick.

On the black cat complaint platform, there are more than 8,100 complaints about No.9, most of which are about quality problems such as "the battery starved to death", "the intelligent system failed during the warranty period" and "the electric vehicle has great safety hazards".

In addition to frequent quality problems, consumers are also very dissatisfied with the after-sales service of No.9 company.

A consumer said on the black cat complaint platform that his No.9 electric car had 40 batteries left, but it broke down and couldn’t be started at all. After contacting the store, the other party asked him to send it to a 12-kilometer store by himself. After contact, no one handled it, and the store said that only one master could not come to the door. He was very disappointed with the after-sales attitude of Company No.9..

In the sampling inspection of relevant departments, the No.9 electric vehicle also failed many times.

In October 2022, Beijing Fengtai District Market Supervision Administration announced the results of product quality supervision and spot check in 2021, which showed that a No.9 electric bicycle produced by No.9 Technology Co., Ltd. was found to be unqualified, and the items involved were "speed warning sound and short circuit protection".

With more and more consumers complaining about the quality of No.9 electric vehicle after use, it will inevitably bring bad reputation to No.9 company.

Recently, in order to find a new growth curve, Company No.9 began to touch the "other economy", hoping to find a new competitive advantage in the unique consumption field of young women.

However, although this group has great consumption potential, it obviously has higher requirements and pays more attention to consumption quality, experience and service.

If Company No.9 can’t actively improve after-sales service and product quality, then the new growth curve may be just a mirage and may not be realized.

Although the dream of Company No.9 is good and it has advantages in the field of intelligence development, it still needs a lot of efforts to make the blue ocean bigger and the red sea blue.

[Know the way of the car industry] Let’s take stock of what big events happened in the car circle on October 19, 2024.

Automobile Event 1: Guangzhou Automobile Group plans to transfer the equity of BYD joint venture company for 104 million yuan.

On October 18th, Guangzhou Automobile Group announced its plan to publicly list and transfer all its shares in Guangzhou GAC BYD New Energy Bus Co., Ltd., a joint venture with BYD, with a reserve price of about 104 million yuan.

The equity transfer indicates that the cooperation between Guangzhou Automobile Group and BYD in the field of new energy buses is coming to an end.

Guangzhou GAC BYD New Energy Bus Co., Ltd., a joint venture between GAC Group and BYD, has been committed to the research and development and production of new energy buses since its inception. After the completion of the equity transfer, Guangzhou Automobile Group will no longer hold any shares of the company, and BYD has not given up its preemptive right.

Car incident 2: Buick GL8 launched a limited-time discount for business class on land, with 197,900 after the discount.

A few days ago, we learned from Buick officials that it launched preferential activities for its medium and large MPV——GL8 land business class model, with a limited-time preferential price of 19.79-25.09 million yuan. At the same time, the government also introduced a replacement subsidy of up to 30,000 yuan (the national trade-in subsidy is up to 15,000 yuan+the brand replacement subsidy is up to 15,000 yuan) and a variety of flexible financial programs.

Automobile Event 3: "MAEXRTRO Zunjie" will launch the Guangzhou Auto Show and be officially listed in early 2025.

Recently, at the 2024 World Intelligent Networked Automobile Conference, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, chairman of terminal BG and chairman of smart car solution BU, said that the first model of "MAEXRTRO Zunjie" jointly launched by Huawei and JAC Automobile will make its debut at the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show, which opened on November 15th. It is expected that the new car will be officially launched before next spring, and its final price will exceed 1 million yuan. In addition, Yu Chengdong also said that in 2025, Huawei will launch ADS4.0 to realize L3-level assisted driving in commercial high-speed and pilot L3-level assisted driving in urban areas.

"Daily Car News", here is the latest car news of the day, please continue to pay attention to "Know the Way of Cars".

　　The word "volume" is the most distinctive label in today’s automobile industry. At the moment when the automobile market is scrambling to occupy the forefront of the market, the competitive direction of many cars is not only to configure the volume value, but also to be intelligent. However, many domestic new energy vehicles, such as ACC adaptive cruise system, have become standard, and the direction of the next volume of the car company is bound to be some more advanced intelligent driving assistance systems.

　　I, born in the all-electric digital platform, has four technical characteristics, such as high efficiency, high performance, high intelligence and high security. With high intelligence, it also has a high-level intelligent driving assistance system. The biggest difference between it and the general intelligent driving assistance system is that it has added a higher-level integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version and high-speed pilot intelligent driving assistance function, and the more detailed driving assistance action details from point A to point B. What will its performance be like? In the magic mountain city of Chongqing in 8D, let’s experience it.

　　On the deep blue SL03i, how about the hardware of Zhijia?

　　The dark blue SL03i we test-drive is equipped with a variety of sensing components, including 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 6 micro-touch sensors, high-precision satellite system, capacitive touch-sensitive steering wheel sensor, 10 smart cameras with different pixels and different viewing angles inside and outside the car, and a DMS camera. Obviously, this is a low-cost intelligent driving hardware scheme that is not pure vision or laser radar. The cooperation of various sensing components can give full play to their respective advantages and realize 360-degree all-round monitoring.

　　In addition to hardware, the intelligent driving system of Deep Blue SL03i not only provides conventional maps and high-precision maps provided by Gaode, but also has a large-scale data pool. Based on a large number of open road tests, a large number of data accumulation and simulation training, as well as continuous optimization of algorithms and integration of software and hardware, the paper parameters and actual experience of this system can achieve a good result.

　　Deep blue SL03i has both traditional dashboard and AR-HUD. Its imaging size is equivalent to 53 inches, and the information that can be displayed here is very basic but critical. More finely on the central control screen, it shows the surrounding road conditions very accurately. Vehicles, lanes and obstacles will be displayed, all thanks to the capture and identification of the surrounding environment by the on-board hardware system.

　　The car system supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 can provide more critical computing power for intelligent driving. In addition to the highly intelligent IACC-L integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version, it is also equipped with NID pilot intelligent driving assistance system, which is a set of driving assistance system based on navigation path. It relies on high-precision maps to achieve pilot-assisted driving on supported expressways and some urban express sections, and it can achieve pilot-assisted driving from point A to point B on the road, which can achieve more advanced self-driving.

　　Our experience just happened to catch up with Monday, and it was still in the mountain city of Chongqing, which is known as the 8D magic city and may be the most complicated road network in the world. The experience of assisted driving on such complicated and changeable road conditions with dense traffic and frequent road construction is a great test of the intelligent driving skills of Deep Blue SL03i. In fact, except for some high-speed sections, the occasional urban road conditions in Chongqing also intermittently support the coverage of high-precision maps. So what is its actual performance here?

　　Urban Expressway+Expressway Intelligent Driving Experience

　　Under ideal conditions, this intelligent driving system of Deep Blue SL03i can make the vehicle travel from point A to point B automatically according to the route set by navigation. In this process, it can not only overtake the slow-moving vehicle, avoid danger, but also choose a better route independently. The experience is actually very close to automatic driving. However, it should be noted that under the current technical level and the requirements of laws and regulations, all functions are only auxiliary, and the driver can’t be the shopkeeper of cutting.

　　Specific to IACC-L, the operation of activating the system is very simple. When the vehicle drives to a road covered by a map, a steering wheel icon will pop up on the dashboard to remind you that you can turn on the function. After turning on, the vehicle can automatically drive according to the destination set by navigation. In actual use, the IACC-L startup operation of Deep Blue SL03i is quite simple. Like most cars, the system can be successfully activated by continuously dialing the electronic gear twice after being prompted, and the adjustment of the following distance and speed can be completed through the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel.

　　It is worth mentioning that in Chongqing, where traffic jams are frequent, when the driver turns on the function setting of high-speed pilot intelligent driving assistance or integrated adaptive endurance assistance, the gear will be the lowest gear "1st gear", so the following distance will be more in line with the driving habits of actual users. Officials say that the minimum following distance in this state can be controlled at 2m, and it is more difficult to be "jammed" by other vehicles.

　　The area covered by high-precision map on high-speed will display the red stamp of "NID" on the map, and when driving here, the system will automatically switch from IACC-L integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version to NID high-speed navigation assistance. Compared with the integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version, the biggest difference of this high-speed navigation aid is that it can realize automatic ramp up and down and route planning. On the expressway, its function is basically the same as that of automatic driving.

　　This system can automatically realize the self-adaptive cruise with lane centering and intelligent adjustment with the car, and realize automatic or commanded steering and intelligent deceleration by identifying speed limit signs in qualified corners. Its logic of judging and responding to the action of the preceding car is very old for drivers, so you don’t have to worry that any deceleration action of the preceding car will make your car have a huge nervous reaction.

　　Not all traffic participants on the road follow the rules. Facing the sudden sideways situation, the car can always try its best to avoid it at the first time. Deep blue SL03i can comfortably control the vehicle to slow down to a safe speed according to the speed limit signs appearing in tunnels/ramps/bends. Like an old driver, he will try his best to stick to the edge of the lane to make a smart shift, or try his best to brake and slow down, so as to prevent problems to the greatest extent, but he will never use the bypass to avoid obstacles.

　　The timing of intelligent lane change is optional, and it is cautious under standard conditions. When there is no car on the right rear, its lane change action is very textbook, and the timing and speed of lighting, turning and merging are very regular. However, in Chongqing, the car will only change lanes when the rear side is safe and the conditions are met. The threshold is similar to that of drivers who leave the novice period. The game is rather timid. In case of special circumstances, it will make timely corrections during the lane change process, keep a relative distance from the preceding car, and then accelerate the distance after completing the lane change.

　　When the speed of the preceding vehicle is too slow and there is road space on both sides, the system will judge the traffic situation and decide whether to change lanes and overtake. It is also optional. Under normal circumstances, its automatic lane change does not require a long safety margin, and the requirements for the distance between the front and rear vehicles on both sides of the lane are not great. The decision logic of the system is very human, and the timing is very human, and there will be no problem of frequent and urgent lane change.

　　Occasionally, on particularly congested roads, the logic of the system actually puts safety first. In the face of crowded congested roads and other vehicle drivers without zipper traffic habits, the system will occasionally appear indecisive, and the response of the system will appear a little twitchy. When the car is implemented, there will be a big swing or pitching action, but even the old driver will not be able to handle this scene well.

　　The system is also skilled in the choice of roads in and out of the ramp. According to the map and congestion, it will change to the exit lane in advance. When passing through the ramp, the overall response of the car is very decisive, and the speed will also drop to a reasonable range. The overall performance is very sophisticated, and it gives you enough confidence. You don’t have to worry about the problem that the curve with large curvature can’t turn around or snake back and forth in the lane to correct the driving direction.

　　In the case that the continuous off-ramp intersection may be missed continuously, deep blue SL03i can accurately judge the congestion intention of other cars, and can choose to slow down and yield independently on the premise of safety. Deep blue SL03i can monitor and predict the behavior of surrounding vehicles in real time during the process of traffic jam and the import and export of the intersection ramp, and always merge the vehicles as safely as possible until you are reminded that you must take over manually.

　　When passing through some ramps with narrow radians, the dark blue SL03i can also drive in and out very calmly, and the steering wheel turns silky all the time, and there is almost no line pressing, and the whole acceleration and deceleration are controlled properly, so as to avoid the uncomfortable feeling of the drivers and passengers pitching back and forth and swinging left and right, and bring users a smooth and stable driving experience.

　　The high-speed navigation system is based on the coverage of high-precision maps and services, and in areas not covered by high-precision maps, the system will automatically downgrade to the mode of integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version and remind drivers to be alert to safety, and then the integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version will automatically upgrade to high-speed navigation assistance as long as it drives into the road section with high-precision maps that meet the service coverage again.

　　Summary:For today’s experience, most of the time we experience is on the expressway or expressway in Chongqing. Although it seems simple, considering the complexity of Chongqing’s own traffic, it is really not a simple thing to handle such a scene well. The deep blue SL03i does ensure both safety and traffic efficiency in most of the time, which is quite surprising.

　　What needs to be considered is that, judging from this set of intelligent driving ability, its performance this time does not lose some models that focus on high-level intelligent driving at a price of 300,000 yuan, and even has certain advantages in details. Considering the starting price of Deep Blue SL03i, no matter which way it goes public in the future, the price will make technology equal, which is probably its greatest advantage.
