Extended-range vehicles have both prospects and bottlenecks.

Recently, the new flagship model AITO Wenjie M9 of Sailis Automobile was officially released. After AITO Wenjie M7, it injected explosive extended-range models into the new energy automobile market. AITO asked M9 to release more than 10,000 reservations in two hours.

Coincidentally, Chen Zhuo, president of Aouita Science and Technology, recently announced the new car plan for 2024, saying that Aouita will launch brand-new extended-range products in 2024. Subsequently, Aouita officials further indicated that four extended-range power models will be launched.

Previously, it was reported in the industry that Xiaomi was also laying out extended-range vehicles, and Xiaomi official website also released the position of design and development engineer for extended-range systems.

In recent years, China’s hybrid passenger car market has experienced explosive growth, especially extended-range vehicles, which have played an important role in promoting China’s electrification transformation.

As early as the 12th China Automobile Forum at the end of 2022, Zhang Yongwei, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of committee of 100, China Electric Vehicle, publicly stated that the extended-range route is a unique route in China, which originated from the market, is a technical route driven by consumer demand, and has quickly become an effective supplement to pure circuit lines in the development process, and its future development is worthy of market attention.

For this reason, China Electric Vehicle committee of 100 and Chebai Think Tank launched the research report "The Development Prospect of Hybrid Passenger Cars II: The Development Prospect of Hybrid Passenger Cars in China" (hereinafter referred to as committee of 100 Research Report), which made an in-depth study on the development of hybrid vehicles including extended-range vehicles.

Committee of 100 Research Report Home Page

Committee of 100 research report shows that in China, hybrid vehicles including extended-range vehicles have achieved explosive growth, but they will also encounter bottlenecks in development.

According to the committee of 100 Research Report, extended-range vehicles are the first choice for the new forces to lay out the hybrid market.

In October 2018, LI released the extended-range SUV Li ONE, and the market began to pay attention to extended-range technology. The extended-range vehicle is closer to pure electricity. Compared with plug-in and hybrid electric vehicles, the extended-range vehicle uses a larger battery, which is completely driven by a motor and can be externally charged. When the power is insufficient, the fuel engine is used to generate electricity to extend the cruising range.

Since 2021, many car companies have flooded into the extended track. Cyrus and Huawei cooperated to launch the extended-range vehicle boundary series; Dongfeng Lantu, Chang ‘an Deep Blue, Zero Run, Nezha and other brands also laid out pure electricity and extended range routes.

Extended range vehicles are increasingly recognized by consumers. From January to October, 2023, the sales volume of extended-range vehicles has exceeded 400,000, among which the monthly sales volume of ideal brands has continuously exceeded 30,000, and the market share of SUVs above 300,000 is higher than that of luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW Audi.

At present, the ideal of success in extended-range vehicles, as well as the executives of Huawei BU, greatly praised extended-range vehicles, and contradicted the once popular statement that "extended-range vehicles are backward technology".

For example, Li Xiang, CEO of LI, thinks that saying that extended-range electric is an backward technology is "nonsense" of a group of technicians who have no user thinking and don’t care about users at all. Yu Chengdong of Huawei BU believes that an extended-range vehicle "is actually a pure electric vehicle if the extended-range engine is removed". The news from the "Seminar on Development Prospects of Hybrid Passenger Cars" held in committee of 100 shows that the industry has accepted the technical route of extended range vehicles, and the market for extended range vehicles is becoming mature.

In 2022, Yu Chengdong also said that extended range is the most suitable new energy vehicle mode at present.

Regarding the positioning and future of the extended program technical route, Zhang Yongwei, vice chairman and secretary general of China Electric Vehicle committee of 100, said that the future development of the extended program technical route is worthy of market attention, and predicted that in the next 10-20 years, the extended program and the hybrid technology route still have a good development space.

In October, 2023, seven departments jointly issued the Work Plan for Steady Growth of Automobile Industry in 2023-2024, which clearly stated that it was necessary to "encourage the development of hybrid power and low-carbon fuel technologies".

The emergence of extended-range vehicles actually stems from the precise control of the user experience by new car companies.

When the new forces started their business, the mileage anxiety of electric vehicles was very serious, and the extended-range vehicle was equipped with an extended-range engine on the basis of electric vehicles, which can achieve "daily electricity consumption, no electricity and no oil", which is an important choice to alleviate mileage anxiety. As an early extended-range car, Li ONE’s slogan is "Electric car without mileage anxiety".

Although the extended-range car has no mileage anxiety, after entering the power loss state, the fuel consumption increases linearly, and some owners of extended-range cars frequently complain that the fuel consumption is high at high speed. The main reason is that the engine can’t directly drive the vehicle under the extended-range series structure, so the gasoline needs to be converted into mechanical energy in the engine first, and then the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy through the generator, and the electrical energy is finally converted into mechanical energy by the driving motor. After many energy conversions, the loss will naturally be "folded up".

However, this shortcoming is not the focus of attention for car buyers. At present, users who buy cars have more driving environments in urban areas and rarely travel long distances. Committee of 100 Research Report shows that consumers buy cars mainly for daily commuting, and the average daily mileage of 74% respondents is less than 50 kilometers, so most users of extended-range cars rarely experience the disadvantage of high fuel consumption.

Moreover, the new car announcement data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that in recent years, the pure electric cruising range of plug-in hybrid vehicles, including extended range, has been continuously improved, and it has gathered in the range of 100-200 kilometers.

The most important thing is that for the majority of users, the extended-range car is more economical.

According to the research report of committee of 100, the total cost of hybrid electric vehicles is about 4,000 yuan lower than that of fuel vehicles, and the total cost of hybrid electric vehicles (including extended-range vehicles) can be saved about 10,000 yuan under the assumption that the average annual mileage is 15,300 kilometers during the five-year use.

In addition to meeting the needs of consumers, extended-range vehicles are also good for car companies, mainly reflected in the low cost.

According to the committee of 100 Research Report, new energy passenger car enterprises are facing greater operating pressure due to multiple factors such as insufficient supply of spare parts, fluctuation of raw material prices and price war, and the hybrid route including extended range can help enterprises to alleviate the operating pressure. In the first half of 2023, five new energy listed car companies with pure electricity suffered losses. However, hybrid electric vehicles have a certain cost advantage over pure electricity. For example, the BOM cost of a large SUV in a plug-in hybrid vehicle is about 20% lower than that of pure electricity of the same level. Therefore, the hybrid route can help enterprises reduce costs and open up sales.

Moreover, hybrid power, including extended range, can continue to promote the innovation and development of the three power technologies. A number of domestic independent engine enterprises have taken advantage of the east wind of extended-range vehicles to glow with new vitality. For example, in 2019, Harbin dongan power provided range extenders for Li ONE, and in 2020, its engine business revenue increased by 70% year-on-year. Later, dongan power cooperated with Tianji, Nezha, Zero Run and other enterprises to further expand the market.

Compared with other new power car companies that take the pure circuit line, LI can make a profit for four consecutive quarters, which has nothing to do with its insistence on the technical route of extended-range cars.

Compared with fuel vehicles, hybrid vehicles such as extended-range vehicles are also easier to combine with intelligence.

This is because the battery of traditional fuel vehicles is small, and it is difficult to meet the demand of intelligence. The power battery of hybrid vehicles such as extended-range vehicles provides power guarantee for intelligent equipment. Therefore, hybrid technology will be deeply integrated with intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit technology.

A well-known example is the deep cooperation between Cyrus and Huawei, which makes the series of extended-range vehicles equipped with intelligent cockpit system and Huawei advanced intelligent driving system on the basis of electrification, bringing a leading intelligent experience.

However, this does not mean that the development of extended-range vehicles will be smooth sailing, on the contrary, its development will also encounter a series of bottlenecks.

According to committee of 100 Research Report, the hedging rate has a great influence on the total cost of ownership of plug-in hybrid vehicles, including extended range. It is estimated that after five years, the preservation rate of hybrid electric vehicles is about 50%, while that of plug-in hybrid vehicles including extended range is about 40% due to the attenuation of power batteries. In the future, with the upgrading of battery technology, the value-keeping rate of plug-in hybrids including extended-range vehicles will be improved rapidly.

The adjustment of purchase tax preferential policies will also have a certain impact on plug-in hybrid vehicles including extended-range vehicles. According to the "Announcement on Continuing and Optimizing the Vehicle Purchase Tax Reduction and Exemption Policy for New Energy Vehicles", plug-in hybrid vehicles will be exempted from purchase tax before 2026, and will be halved from 2026 to 2027. When the plug-in hybrid vehicle no longer enjoys the purchase tax, its total cost of ownership advantage will be reduced, and consumers’ willingness to buy plug-in hybrid vehicles will be reduced. According to the survey data in committee of 100 Research Report, about 40% of potential users of plug-in hybrid vehicles, including extended range, may give up buying because of the cancellation of preferential purchase tax policies.

Looking ahead, committee of 100 Research Report shows that hybrid vehicles, especially plug-in hybrid vehicles including extended range, will accelerate the replacement of fuel vehicles.

From the demand side, 36% of consumers intend to choose hybrid vehicles. The excellent power performance and economic performance of hybrid vehicles meet the needs of consumers, and at the same time, they also dispel consumers’ anxiety about cruising range and recharge. From the supply side, the dual-point policy has improved the enthusiasm of car companies to produce hybrid vehicles, and the strength of hybrid products of domestic brands has been continuously improved, and the supply of models has been continuously enriched.

In short, thanks to cost control and economies of scale, the price of hybrid electric vehicles, including plug-in, will further drop, and the market space will continue to expand. In the coming 5-10 years, hybrid vehicles will still have a rapid development momentum, and traditional fuel vehicles will be replaced by hybrid vehicles and pure electricity. It is estimated that the market share of plug-in hybrid vehicles including extended range may reach 30% from 2025 to 2030.

Baojun Automobile responded to the network transmission that Baojun Yue also failed to brake: some vehicles have software bugs.

Yichexun A few days ago, Baojun Automobile made a public response to the recent "brake failure" incident in Guanwei. Baojun Automobile said that the Yueye incident was not a "brake failure" described by the network, but a software BUG in some vehicles, which led to the degradation of brake power. This part of the vehicle will enter the speed limit protection state when it is reminded by the indicator light when it is started.

Baojun Automobile said in the response statement that after receiving relevant feedback, we intervened at the first time and solved the problem of users’ vehicles. Please feel free to use them. This Yueye incident is not a "brake failure" described by the network, but a software BUG in some vehicles, which leads to the degradation of braking power. This part of the vehicle will enter the speed limit protection state when it is reminded by the indicator light when it is started. Without knowing the facts, the relevant media described the words such as "brake failure" as inaccurate. We will sincerely and properly cooperate with the owner’s aftermath.

Editor in Charge: Xu Zhenyu

Mercedes-Benz caught fire in the garage and was identified as a battery failure by the fire department. The owner claimed that it was fruitless for four months.

Liu Fengyang didn’t expect that a good car caught fire in the parking garage.

On June 1, Lu Fengyang received a phone call from the community security guard and was told that the vehicle was on fire. After going to the scene to investigate, the insurance company’s claim adjuster thought that the vehicle fire was spontaneous combustion, and Lu Fengyang did not buy self-ignition insurance and could not get insurance subsidies.

On June 19th, the public security fire department of Jing ‘an District detected that the fire point was the storage battery in the engine compartment of the vehicle, and the fire broke out due to the failure of the storage battery. "As soon as the certificate came out, I made representations with Mercedes-Benz manufacturers and the personnel of 4S shop Dongchi Company on June 20, and the other party proposed that the vehicle must be towed to the store for testing before talking about relevant rights and interests." Lu Fengyang said.

On July 13th, 4S shop Dongchi Company and Mercedes-Benz manufacturers towed the car for inspection. On September 20, the appraisal report of Mercedes-Benz manufacturer was delayed. When Lu Fengyang asked about the test results, the technicians of Mercedes-Benz manufacturer replied "basically the same as the public security fire appraisal results". On the same day, the relevant staff of Mercedes-Benz came to talk with Lu Fengyang about compensation. Lu Fengyang asked the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer to restore the damaged car to its original state. According to the quotation from the 4S shop to the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer, the cost of restoring the car consisted of 330,051 yuan for accessories and 28,600 yuan for total working hours, totaling 358,651 yuan.

The relevant staff of Mercedes-Benz said that they only agreed to compensate the residual value of this car, that is, the valuation of the same car on the used car website in the same year was 152,000 yuan and the purchase tax. 4S dongchi company said that it could not provide other negotiation schemes.

So far, Lu Fengyang’s car is still parked in the 4S shop. The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) reporter saw at the scene that the front of this black Mercedes-Benz car was seriously damaged, the battery of the car was basically burnt out, and the co-pilot and the front windshield were also burnt out. Lu Fengyang said that he will choose legal channels to safeguard his legitimate interests.

Insurance company: the owner is not responsible for not buying self-ignition insurance.

After the car caught fire, Liu Fengyang was very puzzled about it.

At about 7: 00 pm on June 1, Lu Fengyang, who lives near Jing ‘an Temple in Shanghai, received a phone call from the community security guard. "There was smoke in the underground garage. I think my car is parked in the corner, so it should be out of the way. Keep going, and call again after a few steps, saying that my car is on fire. "

According to him, although the fire vehicle was purchased five or six years ago, it only ran about 100,000 kilometers. One week before the incident, Lu Fengyang did not drive this car, and the car itself was not electrified. And the underground garage is relatively cool. It was not a hot day on June 1st, and it happened in the evening, and the temperature was not high.

Lu Fengyang confirmed that there were no flammable materials such as lighters and perfumes in the car before the incident, and there were not even paper towels. The car has never been modified, and the batteries are all original, and they are all maintained in the 4S shop in strict accordance with the deadline.

After the incident, Lu Fengyang called the insurance company. After going to the scene to investigate, the adjuster of the insurance company gave the answer that the fire of the vehicle was spontaneous combustion, and Lu Fengyang did not buy self-ignition insurance, so he could not get insurance subsidies.

Public security fire control: battery failure and fire.

On June 2nd, Lu Fengyang went to Jing ‘an Public Security Fire Department to apply for fire cause identification, hoping to further investigate the cause of the "spontaneous combustion" of Mercedes-Benz.

On June 7, the public security department sent professionals to the scene to detect the cause of the vehicle fire. During the inspection, the owner needs to provide all the maintenance records of the fire vehicle, so Lu Fengyang made an appointment with the 4S shop Dongchi Company, which is responsible for maintenance, and went to the store to get all the vehicle maintenance records on the 8 th. On the same day, the maintenance records were originally printed, but when the staff heard that the maintenance records were used for the identification of fire accidents, they took back the materials on the spot, no matter how begged by Lu Fengyang.

Lu Fengyang, who was rejected, repeatedly asked the 4S shop for vehicle maintenance records and was told: "The notice from the headquarters is not allowed." Lu Fengyang said that the practice of 4S stores is very unreasonable, because "vehicle maintenance records are originally part of my right to know as a consumer". In the end, Lu Fengyang could only get the vehicle maintenance records from other channels in another name.

Letter of confirmation issued by public security fire control. Yuan Yuanshe

According to the test results of the public security fire brigade’s six visits to the fire site and the maintenance records of the vehicle, the public security fire department of Jing ‘an District issued the "Certificate of Simple Investigation on the Fire Accident of the Public Security Fire Brigade of Jing ‘an District, Shanghai" on June 19, and determined that the fire point was the battery in the engine compartment of the vehicle, and the fire broke out due to the failure of the battery.

Mercedes-Benz manufacturer: agreed to compensate the residual value of the vehicle.

Lu Fengyang originally thought that this certificate could help him safeguard his rights and interests, but I didn’t expect Mercedes-Benz manufacturers not to recognize the certificate.

"As soon as the certificate came out, I made representations with Mercedes-Benz manufacturers and personnel of Shanghai Dongchi Company on June 20, and the other party proposed that the vehicle must be towed to the store for testing before talking about related rights and interests. I emphasize that in China, the certificate of public security fire control on the cause of fire is legal and authoritative, but the other party ignores it. "

Helpless, after Lu Fengyang signed the Power of Attorney on July 6, on the 13th, the 4S shop and Mercedes-Benz manufacturer towed the car away for inspection, and told Lu Fengyang that the inspection usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, because the car caught fire at the battery, so the results will be available soon.

Shanghai Dongchi, who is in charge of maintenance. The Paper reporter Zhu Yitu

Nearly two and a half months have passed, and the appraisal report of Mercedes-Benz manufacturers has not yet reached Lu Fengyang’s hands. Lu Fengyang said that in the past two and a half months, he never stopped asking for appraisal reports and asking for compensation. However, the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer verbally promised that the test results would be produced as soon as possible, but later it was delayed on the grounds that the technicians were sick. On September 20th, Lu Fengyang asked the technicians whether they were sick, but the technicians clearly answered "No". When asked about the test results, the technicians answered "basically the same as the results of public security fire identification".

On September 20th, when the appraisal certificate was not issued, the relevant staff of the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer came to talk with Lu Fengyang about compensation. Lu Fengyang asked the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer to restore the damaged car to its original state. The cost of restoring the original state was 330,051 yuan for accessories and 28,600 yuan for working hours, totaling 358,651 yuan. However, the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer refused this request and only agreed to compensate for the residual value of the car, that is, the same car price in the same year was valued at 152,000 yuan on the used car website and the purchase tax.

Car purchase invoice provided by Mr. Lu. The Paper reporter Zhu Yitu

Lu Fengyang expressed great dissatisfaction with this. First of all, according to the car purchase invoice presented by Lu Fengyang, the purchase price of this car was 510,000 yuan, which was purchased in 2011. In the middle, this model experienced a round of depreciation and inflation. Lu Fengyang said that it was very inappropriate to compensate with the residual value.

At the same time, according to the public security fire appraisal, the cause of the car’s spontaneous combustion was caused by the battery problem. Lu Fengyang himself was not at fault, but suffered heavy losses. Lu Fengyang himself is a criminal lawyer. "I often go to the detention center, and the location is generally remote. It is very inconvenient to travel without a scooter." .

4S shop: No other negotiation scheme can be provided.

On September 25th, The Paper reporter followed Lu Fengyang to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store on Zhaohua Road.

On September 25, inside the burning car in the garage. The Paper reporter Zhu Yitu

The vehicle involved stopped at the entrance of the repair shop, and the traces of fire deformation on the hood were still clear. The right side of the glass in front of the car was damaged in a large area, and the glass in the damaged area had been carbonized to black. Lu Fengyang opened the front cover of the car and showed the reporter the internal situation. The equipment inside the car had traces of fire, and the original battery had been taken out.

On the morning of September 30th, accompanied by reporters, Lu Fengyang once again called 4S shop Dongchi Company and Mercedes-Benz manufacturers to complain about customer service.

The contact person of Dongchi Company clearly stated on the phone that the appraisal report needs to be presented by the manufacturer, and it is impossible to provide the appraisal report to Mr. Lu when the manufacturer has not given it to the 4S shop. At the same time, he repeatedly persuaded Mr. Lu to accept the compensation plan provided by the current Mercedes-Benz manufacturer, that is, compensation of 152,000 yuan and purchase tax. Mr. Lu did not accept the compensation plan, and the customer service of Dongchi Company said that it could not provide other negotiation plans, and did not accept Mr. Lu’s request for restitution.

After that, Lu Fengyang called the customer service hotline of Mercedes-Benz manufacturer and transferred it to the complaint service. On the phone, Mr. Lu told the whole story. Mercedes-Benz complaint customer service said that it would contact the manufacturer to urge the communication of this incident, and then it would reply to Mr. Lu by phone. For Mr. Lu’s repeated questioning about the reply time and reply method, the customer service said that it was impossible to determine the reply time at present, but he would reply by phone and conduct an interview invitation on the phone.

However, the relevant staff of Mercedes-Benz manufacturers who had previously negotiated compensation with Lu Fengyang stopped answering any phone calls from Lu Fengyang and did not reply to text messages after the negotiation of the compensation agreement failed on September 20. On September 30th, Lu Fengyang called the contact again, but the contact still didn’t answer.

Lawyer: The letter of confirmation issued by the public security bureau has legal effect, so it is suggested to take judicial channels.

For the solution to this incident, the reporter consulted lawyer Chen of Shanghai Jianhu Law Firm.

Lawyer Chen said that, first of all, the fire accident investigation certificate issued by the public security fire department has legal effect and should be used as evidence in court. Although Mercedes-Benz manufacturers can not recognize and request re-appraisal, the company should not issue an appraisal report, but should entrust a qualified third party to issue an appraisal report.

Regarding the negotiation of compensation scheme, Mr. Chen suggested that Mercedes-Benz manufacturers should compensate Mr. Chen’s traffic inconvenience and other losses caused by vehicle problems in addition to the vehicle’s fault.

"The vehicle fire caused by battery failure may have a greater impact, which may lead to personal safety injury if it occurs during driving." Therefore, Mr. Chen also suggested that Mr. Lu take judicial channels to claim compensation and protect his legitimate rights and interests.

"My initial purchase of Mercedes-Benz was also based on my trust in international brands." Lu Fengyang told reporters that in the four months since the vehicle caught fire, he not only felt the difficulty of safeguarding rights, but also felt disappointed with the awareness and practices of international brands in serving customers. In the case that Mercedes-Benz manufacturers handled the problem with such an attitude, he would choose to take legal channels to safeguard his legitimate interests.

Guiding opinions of the Ministry of Agriculture on further adjusting and optimizing agricultural structure

First, strengthen the understanding of further adjusting and optimizing the agricultural structure.

(2) Further adjusting and optimizing the agricultural structure is facing a rare historical opportunity.After successive bumper harvests in agriculture, the supply of major agricultural products is sufficient; The domestic economy has entered a new normal, and the growth of agricultural product consumption and processing demand may be weakened, which provides a favorable opportunity for further adjusting and optimizing the agricultural structure. The full implementation of the new national food security strategy will make the key points of agricultural production more prominent and provide a more relaxed policy environment and resource space for further adjusting and optimizing the agricultural structure. The consumption structure of residents has been accelerated and upgraded, and the demand for high-quality and safe agricultural products in the future is huge. People not only require to eat well, but also require to eat safely, nutritionally and healthily, which has brought market power to further adjust and optimize the agricultural structure. The supply of international agricultural products market is sufficient, and the inventory consumption ratio of bulk agricultural products is at an all-time high, which provides more room for further adjustment and optimization of agricultural structure. These show that further adjustment and optimization of agricultural structure is facing a rare opportunity, and it is timely to promote the transformation of agricultural development from focusing on quantity growth to paying equal attention to quantity, quality and efficiency.

Two, clear the overall idea of further adjusting and optimizing the agricultural structure

Third, accurately grasp the key tasks of further adjusting and optimizing the agricultural structure

(six) to "improve varieties, improve quality, create a brand" as the starting point, adjust and optimize the product structure.Aim at the market demand, increase the production of products that are in short supply and marketable, vigorously develop green agriculture, characteristic agriculture and brand agriculture, and optimize the product structure to meet the needs of upgrading the consumption structure of residents. Strengthen the research, development and promotion of high-quality agricultural products, focus on breeding and introducing a number of competitive famous and new excellent agricultural products, and promote the upgrading of crop varieties. Vigorously promote standardized production, continue to promote the construction of horticultural crop standard parks, standardized scale livestock and poultry farms and aquatic health farms, and actively develop "three products and one standard" agricultural products. Pay close attention to improving the quality and safety standard system of agricultural products, speed up the construction of quality and safety supervision system of agricultural products, strengthen source management, process control and quality traceability, and improve the quality and safety level of agricultural products. Strengthen the marketing and promotion of agricultural products brands, establish the catalogue system of agricultural products brands, vigorously develop the exhibition economy, cultivate a number of well-known agricultural products brands, increase the protection of intellectual property rights, and continuously expand the brand influence and reputation. Promote the implementation of the regional layout planning of characteristic agricultural products and vigorously develop one industry in one township (county) and one product in one village.

Four, strengthen policies and measures to further adjust and optimize the agricultural structure.

Advanced guide to star wars brain powder: what do experts say about these unsolved mysteries

??1905 movie network exclusive feature For the young audience in China, the memory of Star Wars may be a little distant and vague. Although Jedi Knights, Darth Vader, Storm Soldiers and so on are all named, many people are vague about what the story is and what the role is.

Are you worried that those who don’t know this series can’t understand Star Wars: The Force Awakens?

Director Jeffrey Jacob Abrams said: "It doesn’t matter, the two leading men and women don’t understand Star Wars either. This is a brand-new story and adventure, which is about family and emotion. I believe everyone can find resonance from it."

The new hero and heroine in Star Wars: The Force Awakens

The main characters of the film are two new actors, and the heroine Daisy Ridley plays Lei. She is a scavenger living in the desert. There was a war there, leaving a lot of old spaceships. She lived there by picking up things while waiting for her family to come back hopelessly, but she was self-sufficient and didn’t rely on anyone else. The hero is Fen, played by john boyega. He used to be a stormtrooper of the First Order, which we are familiar with, but then he escaped from this evil organization. Then he met Lei and suddenly realized that he had entered a life-and-death adventure.

Kylo ren (adam driver), the villain they want to fight, is reminiscent of Darth Vader darth vader. He will also fulfill Vader’s mission and throw out the evil red color possessed by the Sith lightsaber, together with two other bad guys, Captain Fasma (gwendoline christie) and General hax (domhnall glesson).

All the alien monsters in Star Wars are actually made.

In addition, there is a new character BB-8 that has to be mentioned. It can roll and turn like a magnet snowball, and there is something similar to eyes on the hemispherical head, which is its sensor. It is said that BB-8 is actually an aerospace mechanic robot, which can be plugged into fighter planes like robots such as R2 and R4. It is reported that it was produced by a Muppet actor in the post-CG stage, and there are four different versions of it in the whole process. I wonder if you can see it when you watch the film.

Other strange alien creatures, however, will not be made in the later stage, but will be performed by operators and actors in various suits. There is a troll with three people hidden inside. ?

Of course, if you are a senior brain-dead fan of the Star Wars series, you will naturally be happier. In this film, the characters you are familiar with have also returned, such as R2-D2 robot and its good friend C-3PO, which appeared in all Star Wars movies, and our familiar captain Han Solo came back with Tshubaka in the Millennium Falcon, as well as various spacecraft such as the triangle spacecraft destroyer, X-wing fighter and TIE fighter, which made you feel good at once.

Anyone who is familiar with Star Wars knows that although this series of movies also tells everything about the universe, it is different from the hard science fiction of Mars Rescue. In its soft science fiction with fantasy and magic characteristics, the authenticity of science and technology and physics is not important.

However, since the first Star Wars was released in 1977, after more than 40 years, it has evolved from American pop culture to a magical cultural phenomenon. The characters, stories, settings and so on in the film have made many people not only hope, but even think that these are true. In the spirit of seeking truth and exploring, three foreign film editors actually visited a large number of scientific people to see how to use real-world technology and knowledge to solve several puzzles that have been bothering everyone in Star Wars-next, let’s walk into the "real" Star Wars world. . .

Princess Leia appeared again in The Force Awakens.

    The Star Wars series has created a whole cosmic framework, and naturally there are a lot of social structures. So, how does the whole Star Wars society work?

1. Is Princess Leia still a princess?

Poor Princess Leia, because she supported the rebellion, she lost her planet, her subjects and her motherland, her territory and her crown. Is she still a princess?

Linxi Wood, an assistant professor at Lancaster University, is studying the female inheritance of Tudor dynasty. He replied that the title of "princess" for a woman "is her birthright, not because of her marriage or meritorious service. It is precisely because of this that this title cannot be taken away. " In history, many heirs to the throne, or princes and princesses, remained princes and princesses after losing their territory. So this is a "bloodline problem" rather than a "property problem", so the tragic fate of Princess Leia does not mean that she is not a princess.

Kylo ren, the villain in this episode, looks like Darth Vader.

2. What criteria do you need to be a stormtrooper?

Well, so far, the only conscription standard we know is Princess Leia’s vicious comment: "Are you too short for a storm trooper?" It seems that the hardware requirement of storm troopers is to have a certain height. However, storm troopers are mostly clones, so it is not difficult to maintain the same height. But in the later period, the empire began to recruit stormtroopers, so there must be hard conditions.

Regarding this qualification, Laurie Cox, a history lecturer at St Andrews University, said: "The number of soldiers needed in Star Wars is astronomical, so the recruitment standard will definitely drop again. At the end of the period, all adult men can get equipment and go to the battlefield. In the middle world and modern history, many emperors and monarchs held amnesties to release some felons from prison and let them go to the front to participate in the war. " Therefore, judging from the history of human society, in those extreme cases, you don’t need any hard qualifications to become a storm soldier, as long as you are willing.

3. How long does it take to become a Jedi?

To be the evil side, Master Yoda put it this way: "Faster, easier and more attractive." So how long will it take for the young Jedi on the bright side to be promoted from Padawan to Jedi?

In the official description of Star Wars, it takes ten years to become a Jedi, and it must be one-on-one training. (This was before the revenge of the Sith destroyed all the Jedi training infrastructure) But on earth, becoming a Jedi is much easier.

In the Jedi Training Camp created by many Star Wars fans, you only need to apply and register to call yourself a Jedi. But if you want to pass four stages of training, it will take six months to a year. So far, this private organization called "Jedi Church" has 500,000 members, and has taught various metaphysical and theological contents — — Of course, lightsabers are not provided here.

BB-8 shouldn’t need decompression either.

4. What do the rebels do to kill time when they are not fighting?

When the rebels put away their wands, what can they do after getting up? Play a game? Or sitting in the coffee shop at the rebel base? Can they also enjoy the SPA? In the world of Star Wars, what are the entertainments like watching movies and chasing plays?

As long as there is no combat mission, the rebels’ leisure style may be similar to that of human beings. A researcher at the British Museum of Natural History explained: "The way for soldiers and sailors to pass the time is to pick up girls. Of course, they should choose carefully. This is the best way to decompress."

Then, the more frenzied question is coming. Do robots like R2-D2 also need decompression? Muri Shanahan, a professor of robotics in Imperial College London, said: "R2-D2 is definitely not what we now call artificial intelligence based on silicon atoms, CPU and software. I believe his processor is biological. If the rebel robot has such a biological brain, just like a computer, then he doesn’t need to rest. "

Ironically, Maibakh, a luxury car, should use the canopy to "shelter from the wind and rain"!

In July this year, a car owner bought a Maibakh with a huge sum of money, which was a happy event.

However, problems followed, and the owner found that there was abnormal noise in the central control, and found that the A-pillar of the co-pilot had water leakage when it rained.

In this regard, the owner negotiated with the 4S shop and checked many times, but did not find the specific reason for the water leakage failure.

Therefore, the owner doesn’t want this car and wants to replace it with a new one by paying money, but the loss plan given by the 4S shop far exceeds the owner’s estimate.

This made the problem not solved in time.

In the absence of rights protection, the owner posted a three-color canopy for the car and sent a video.

There will be a super distinctive "three-color awning Maibakh".

It is extremely ironic that millions of people in Maibakh can’t "shelter from the wind and rain", but they use dozens of awnings to "shelter from the wind and rain".

As a result, 4S stores have to pay attention to it, and relevant parties have indicated that they should actively deal with this matter. After all, millions of luxury cars can’t "bow down" in front of dozens of awnings!

The last thing to say is that the water leakage of the car is not within the scope of three guarantees, which is really not as good as dozens of awnings!

New opportunities in the food and beverage industry are attracting investment from a higher starting point

  For all walks of life, 2022 is a cold winter, and the macro situation is constantly changing. This uncertainty also stirs people’s lives, making brands and consumers face unpredictable changes. After going through the extraordinary 2022, in the new 2023, "recovery and growth" will become the key words that consumer brands hope to seize. The prospects of the food and beverage industry are also gradually repairing, and new consumption trends will emerge. In recent years, the high-profile soda brand Dayao is moving closer. It continues to attract investment with outstanding strength, injecting full confidence into distribution agents.

  Win-win logic: Sincere investment promotion, Wang fried the beginning

  When time-honored brands and new forces compete together, the domestic soda market is surging and bustling, bringing more opportunities to dealers. At the same time, how to choose the right products and choose the right products in the dazzling soda market has also become an important problem that dealers must solve. The popularity of the "big soda" category is a recognized trend, and the mainstream position of the big kiln in the "big soda" has been confirmed by the market. The sales are fast, the sales volume is high, and the profits are rising. Naturally, it has become the "Nugget Code" that brands and dealers follow.

  For the creation of the distribution market, Dayao always adheres to "win-win situation for manufacturers and wealth sharing", and seriously considers the interests of dealers. For dealers who really want to join, Dayao adopts a "four-dimensional evaluation system", that is, the ability base, soft factors, industry status, and cooperation willingness are comprehensively selected in four dimensions, and a 3-month cooperation trial is also carried out to reduce risks for dealers. For dealers who have reached a cooperation, Dayao has carried out 1v1 face-to-face auxiliary management and other methods to set up a variety of agency policies and profit guarantees for dealers, such as material support, brand promotion support, award promotion, etc., to provide dealers with 360-degree all-round and no dead ends services, helping dealers quickly open the beverage market and achieve a win-win situation.

  Value Return: Prudent Consumption, Convenience is King

  Of course, the prerequisite for investment promotion is the outstanding brand and products, which can create greater profits or value for dealers. Otherwise, no matter how friendly the policy is, it will be in vain.

  In the past year, the downturn in the economic environment has brought inflation, rising living costs and stagnant wages. Coupled with brands seeking new breakthroughs through raw material mining and technology development, products on the market have to raise prices to obtain cost benefits. Mintel 2023 global consumer insights data also shows that in China, compared with the beginning of 2022, the proportion of consumers who say they are "very confident" about their economic situation has continued to decline, from 36% in February to 24% in November.

  Although consumer attitudes are more cautious, the public’s emphasis on daily nutrition is increasing, and time-saving, labor-saving, and delicious products are more popular. For example, in the process of eating, perhaps large bottles of soda can meet the needs of customers and achieve the pleasure of drinking. In order to allow more consumers to enjoy the refreshing atmosphere and joyous experience of this kind of drinking, the big kiln has launched a 520ml large-capacity glass bottle, which is very suitable for daily drinking, but the price is almost the same as that of many brands in 240ml glass bottles, which has given the big kiln’s products a price advantage and won the favor of consumers. Big kiln drinks appear in almost every large and small restaurant in the country.

  Personalized customization: fit the audience, trend first

  With the continuous iteration and upgrading of consumer demand, new consumer groups continue to grow, and diverse and personalized consumer demand is constantly emerging. More and more young consumers not only want to eat delicious, drink enjoyable, but also want to have fun. In order to meet the consumption concept of young consumers who pay attention to product appearance and healthy taste to the greatest extent, Dayao Beverage has fully launched a strategic route. In product packaging, Dayao has launched new PET packaging products, focusing on the trend of youth and portability. Dayao has also innovated and upgraded the taste of its products, launching new products including "Dayao Lixiang", "Chayuanxiang Juice Gas Tea" and "Dayao Fruit Steam" series, and continues to create a trendy drink explosion. In order to achieve in-depth communication with consumers, the big kiln also held a "Who is the king of the big kiln" competition, "the passion on stage is dazzling, the passion off the stage is playing CALL", which is interesting, cool and down-to-earth to gain consumer recognition.

  In 2021, Dayao officially started the road of brand marketing upgrade with the category positioning of "big soda, drinking big kiln", which made people inside and outside the industry shine. In 2022, Dayao identified Wu Jing as the spokesperson and quickly grafted his "positive energy attribute" onto the brand, which made Dayao soda glow with new potential and swept the country. In order to continue the good cooperation in the past year, Dayao and Wu Jing joined hands again to aim for new marketing in 2023 and embark on a new journey.

  Opportunities and challenges coexist in the food and beverage industry. Brands should focus more on their own products, values and consumer interactions to cultivate internal strength in order to seize the opportunity. Dayao will advance from a high starting point to enhance the brand value. If you are interested in joining Dayao, you can pay attention to the official website of Dayao (www.dayaoyinpin.com) and the official account of "Dayao Beverage" to learn more and start the road of win-win in 2023.
