CCTV News:The reporter learned from the Ministry of Commerce that the Ministry of Commerce and other 14 departments announced the Action Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods on April 12. The plan makes specific arrangements for the replacement of household appliances, automobiles, homes and other consumer goods that are generally concerned by the society.

The plan proposes to give fixed subsidies to consumers who scrap high-emission passenger cars or qualified new energy passenger cars and buy energy-saving or new energy vehicles; Financial institutions can independently determine the down payment ratio of self-use car loans; Improve infrastructure such as charging (replacing) electricity, parking and intelligent transportation; Implement the reverse invoicing policy for used car transactions; Promote the door-to-door car collection service model.

The central government arranges funds such as the construction of modern commercial circulation system and county commercial system to support the construction of recycling system of renewable resources such as used household appliances; Encourage qualified places to subsidize consumers to buy green smart home appliances; Support home appliance enterprises to give preferential treatment to consumers who exchange old home appliances for energy-saving home appliances. Encourage all localities to support local upgrading and renovation of old houses, kitchens and bathrooms, and aging renovation of homes to promote smart home consumption.

Xu Dongsheng, vice chairman of China Household Electrical Appliances Association, said: "This plan is driven by improving the standards of technology, energy consumption and emission, encouraged by policies, driven by smooth circulation, and gradually established on the basis of fully respecting the wishes of consumers. ‘ It’s easier to get rid of the old and more willing to get a new one ’ An effective mechanism to improve the recycling system of used household appliances and encourage the replacement of smart, green and low-carbon consumer goods. "

Next year, we will strive to increase the recycling of scrapped cars by 50% compared with 2023.

The Action Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan) issued this time proposes to increase financial and monetary policy support and carry out trade-in of automobiles and household appliances and "rejuvenation" of home improvement and kitchen and bathroom throughout the country.

The "Action Plan" proposes that by increasing policy guidance and support, we will strive to accelerate the elimination of passenger cars with emission standards of National III and below by 2025, and the recycling volume of scrapped cars will increase by 50% compared with 2023; By 2027, the recycling volume of scrapped cars will double compared with 2023, and the trading volume of used cars will increase by 45% compared with 2023.

The "Action Plan" clearly puts forward that fiscal and financial policy support should be strengthened, and the central government and local governments should work together to arrange funds to support the scrapping and renewal of automobiles and encourage qualified places to support the replacement and renewal of automobiles. Highlight the standard traction in the automotive field, improve the recycling and dismantling system of scrapped cars, promote the safe and convenient trading of used cars, cultivate and expand the main business entities of used cars, and promote the innovative development of automobile circulation consumption.

In addition, the reporter learned from China Automobile Industry Association that by the end of 2023, the number of cars in China had reached 340 million, and the number of scrapped cars was 7.56 million. The scheme involves all aspects of automobile circulation and will play an important role in promoting the management of automobile life cycle. Smooth automobile circulation will better promote the consumption of new cars and promote the high-quality development in the field of automobile circulation.

The whole chain of waste household appliances recycling is expected to be further unblocked.

The "Action Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods" also proposes to study and introduce a fund policy related to the disposal of waste electrical and electronic products, and smooth the whole chain of waste household appliances recycling. Experts said that this will effectively promote the trade-in process of home appliances and promote the sustained prosperity and development of the home appliance market.

The Action Plan proposes to give play to the guiding role of fiscal and taxation policies. Encourage qualified places to make overall use of the funds related to the modern commercial and trade circulation system arranged by the central government, make full use of existing capital channels such as the construction of county-level commercial systems, transform and upgrade the household appliance recycling network, improve the efficiency of recycling, transit and distribution of used household appliances, and support the exchange of old appliances for new ones. We will study and introduce a fund policy related to the disposal of waste electrical and electronic products, and smooth the whole chain of recycling and disposal of waste household appliances. Strive to increase the recycling of used household appliances by 15% by 2025 compared with 2023; By 2027, the recycling of used household appliances will increase by 30% compared with 2023.

The reporter learned from China Materials Recycling Association that China is currently at the peak of household appliances scrapping, and the number of discarded household appliances is over 100 million every year. Upgrading and upgrading has become an inevitable trend in the household appliances market. The rapid upgrading of household appliances also brings the problem of recycling waste household appliances.

Xu Junxiang, president of China Materials Recycling Association, said that by strengthening the construction of recycling system, increasing recycling sites, optimizing recycling processes and improving recycling efficiency, it will not only provide residents with more convenient and safe recycling services for used household appliances, but also ensure that used household appliances are properly disposed of, and effectively promote the process of replacing old household appliances with new ones, and promote the sustained prosperity and development of the household appliance market.

　　[Global Network reporter Yang Feifei Wei Yue] South Korean President Moon Jae in paid a four-day state visit to China from December 13th to 16th. He not only started diplomatic activities in China, tasted Chinese breakfast, but also experienced a mobile payment. On the 18th, just the second day after returning to China, Moon Jae in decided to rapidly innovate its public network and cancel the unnecessary security plug-in activeX in electronic transactions.

　　South Korea’s "Central Daily News" reported on December 18th that Park Soo-hyun, spokesman of South Korea’s Presidential Palace Cheongwadae, said on the 18th that South Korean President Moon Jae in said that when using public networks, the goal should be to cancel some unnecessary plug-ins during installation procedures, and quickly change administrative procedures and improve relevant legal systems before 2018.

　　It is reported that South Korea’s active X is a security program installed during electronic transaction settlement, but there have been criticisms that activeX has slowed down the transaction. Although active X has disappeared in other countries, 44 of the top 100 websites in Korea still use Active X.. Previously, in March 2014, when former South Korean President park geun-hye held a seminar on system reform in Cheongwadae, he said that the "Chien Yong Yi Coat" in the Korean drama "You from the Stars" caused a wave of buying in China, but it could not be bought because of active X, so the government needed to start the work of eliminating Active X.

　　When Moon Jae in had breakfast at Yonghe Soymilk in Beijing, he really felt the necessity of canceling unnecessary plug-ins.

　　Moon Jae in scanned the QR code on the table for settlement after ordering. At that time, Moon Jae in showed interest in China’s mobile phone checkout system and asked, "Is this enough to pay the money?" Lu Yingmin, the South Korean ambassador to China, also said that "most of China uses mobile phones to settle accounts."

　　This is not the first time that foreign leaders have been "circled" by China’s mobile payment.

　　We are like "hillbillies"!

　　On August 20th, the Straits Times published an article entitled "2017 National Day Mass Meeting: When lim swee say felt like a" hillbilly "in the smart city of Shanghai".

　　At the beginning, the article tells the story of Singapore’s Minister of Manpower Lin Ruisheng buying chestnuts in Shanghai a few years ago. A few years ago, lim swee say saw people queuing up to buy chestnuts. They just shook their mobile phones and left without paying cash. Lim swee say thought it was a special discount, so when it was his turn, he told the vendor that I didn’t need a discount, and I would pay the full price. But the result is that people are using WeChat to pay for scanning the QR code of vendors. Mr. Lin feels like a hillbilly.

　　The person who tells this story is none other than Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

　　Lee Hsien Loong used this story to tell Singaporeans that Singapore’s development has fallen behind some smart cities in China. In terms of electronic payment, China has been at the forefront.

　　Lee Hsien Loong said, so when China tourists find it necessary to use cash in Singapore, they will ask, "Why is Singapore so backward?" Therefore, Singapore also plans to build a smart country to enhance the overall economic productivity and make life more convenient. Lee Hsien Loong said that all kinds of systems in Singapore must be simplified and integrated, and the relevant financial management departments have already begun to implement them.

　　China Mobile Payment has long caused envy among many foreigners.

　　In fact, the development of mobile payment not only in Singapore but also in China has long aroused the envy of many foreigners.

　　In February this year, the Financial Times published an article entitled "Compared with China, the mobile payment market in the United States looks like a dwarf". Forrester described the payment scene in the United States in his report: "Old habits are hard to disappear. In front of the checkout counter, people are still more willing to take out their credit cards instead of taking out their mobile phones to sweep them."

　　"China’s rapid push for near-end payment is largely based on its late-comer advantage — — Unlike the United States and other countries and regions, China does not have a solid credit card culture. It is precisely because of this that China has jumped directly from the cash payment stage to the mobile payment stage, "market research institute eMarketer said in a research report.

　　After experiencing mobile payment in China, many foreign netizens said that it was very easy to use!

　　Netizen: Although WeChat started as a communication application, it has now integrated the functions of 15 applications, which is very powerful. In China, you don’t need a wallet at all, just a mobile phone. You can buy anything anytime and anywhere by scanning the code. You can check your salary, make friends, call a car, send files, and do anything.

　　User Jasmine HR: Is no one shocked by mobile payment? In China, you can buy anything as long as you have a mobile phone. You don’t need cash at all. Even if you buy a roadside stall, you can use your mobile phone for only half a cent. China is the first country in Asia to open Apple Payment, but Apple Payment is still not popular in China. Because China’s Alipay is so convenient, its function is more powerful than Apple’s payment.

　　Do you think China is the most successful country in mobile payment?

　　Netizen Vital Khali: It must be! So far, China is the country with the strongest mobile payment, and there is no one. In China, mobile payment has become a part of people’s lives: transferring money, shopping, eating, watching movies, paying rent and paying bills. Only unexpected things can’t be done without mobile payment. (Global Network Comprehensive China Journal, Singapore Straits Times, etc.)

"

The ending of the cartoon is like a great satire on the real world. Just like what we know about reality and human history, it is a world full of hostility, hatred and fear.

"

Although the animation is still being updated, on April 9, the original comic book "The Attacking Giant", with a leading plot, ushered in the final words. The ending conceived by the author Lushan Chuang has caused phenomenal controversy.

Some people think that this is a continuation of Lushan Chuang’s consistent "darkness, cruelty and reversal", while others think that this turning point is too blunt. However, the controversy is not only focused on whether the plot trend is "unfinished"; There are more people out of anger, thinking that this is Lushan Chuang’s "deliberately disgusting readers" and "a major malignant event in the history of animation".

Today, starting from the controversial ending of Giant, we not only want to discuss whether it is "unfinished", but also want to see whether this ending is the author’s own way or the necessity under a certain thinking and creative mode. Why are there always so many "unfinished" works? We want to see a good ending. Why is it so difficult?

* This article contains a large number of spoilers of The Attack Giant and Game of Thrones.

01.

Why does Giant make so many people angry?

In this controversy, many people refer to The Aggressive Giant (hereinafter referred to as "Giant") as "Game of Thrones in the animation industry". Interestingly, there are many similarities between the two works in the development form, and even the collapse trend of the ending is strikingly similar.

In the original fire and ice of Game of Thrones (hereinafter referred to as Journey of Thrones), in addition to western fantasy settings, the author george martin introduced a very special POV(Point of View) writing method, and each chapter was described in detail from the perspective of a character.

Therefore, from the POV perspective, no one is the absolute protagonist, and even the "protagonists" can die one after another. This is a story based on the cruel and dark history of the Middle Ages. With the constant "reversal" of the perspective and plot of the characters, the boundaries between the traditional villains and villains become blurred, leaving only the struggle for power.

In The Giant, there is also a similar perspective shift: as the story unfolds, what was originally thought to be just the setting of the world inside and outside the wall, the contradiction between man and giant soon turned to the real setting: the tear between people. The contradiction between the two camps (Malay Empire and Erdia Empire) started from ancient times and continued to the era when the protagonist Allen lived. The giant is the continuation of this curse.

Compared with the feud between medieval aristocrats in Quan You, The Giant is more special in that for us living in the world after the establishment of a modern nation-state, the feud between ethnic groups and the helplessness of individuals at the mercy of fate reflected in it are real enough, political enough, cruel enough and deconstructive enough.

For example, after the protagonist turned into a giant and won the battle, he was not loved by the masses like a hero, but was regarded as a monster, tried and swept through the struggle of political forces. The collapsed house in the giant melee is not just a background board like the superhero movie, and people die innocently every time. Not to mention the decision-making figures in the political center need to abandon human nature from time to time, and one move can affect the joys and sorrows of countless people.

As ordinary people, the protagonists inherited the fate of giants, shouldered the mission, and had to be involved in the torrent of struggle with fate. The constantly emerging truth and doubt broke the bottom line of this group of idealists again and again. People die for the freedom they yearn for, but the cruel fate can’t change the slightest.

The attacking giant

If "Quan You" is a magnificent epic legend, the plot has the color of classical romanticism. Then the Giant is more like a metaphor: ordinary people who are caught in the disputes between modern nation-states and have the übermensch mission in Nietzsche’s conception, even if they become heroes, have no choice but to face the tragedy.

By the time Quan You was filmed in the sixth season, the progress of the series had caught up with the unfinished novel, and as we all know, Martin was a king of procrastination, so the writers could only create the story according to the general direction authorized by Martin. They didn’t have Martin’s profound skill in building characters, and they kept changing the direction of the story because of the possible leakage of the story.

In 2019, "Quan You" entered the final season, but in the last four episodes, it completely collapsed. In the whole process, all the characters forcibly "degraded their intelligence (reduced their intelligence) and ran away", and finally ended up with a unconvincing "constitutional monarchy". Many people believe that if Martin writes the ending of the novel, he can lay out the connection and character changes more reasonably, instead of the hasty ending now.

If the bad ending of Quan You is due to the writer’s lack of pen power, the bad ending of Giant looks even worse. Judging from the previous plot trend and characterization, it is generally believed that Lushan Chuang is capable of making a good ending that may not make everyone exclaim.

However, from the beginning of the 138 words in the cartoon, just like the last few episodes of Quan You, almost all the characters of the leading group took a 180-degree turn, ending the story in the same way of losing their wits and going wild. (I won’t describe the ending in detail here)

The ending of the giant is not anticlimactic like the ordinary "unfinished tail", and it is not only the character ooc (the contradiction between the former and the latter). It can be said that in the first 99% of the plot, Lushan Chuang portrayed a cruel story from the perspective of the growth of the three protagonists (which is also a common perspective in the Japanese), but it was still mixed with the struggle of human nature, the righteous act of kindness, the tragic sacrifice and the reflection on the war.

In the last two sentences, all these disappeared, and the author chose the simplest forced violence to lead to the ending. Whether the so-called balance between the two sides or the resentment of the giants dissipates because the lover can kill the "bad guys" he loves, the solution logic behind it is "killing to stop killing" and "killing for freedom".

People can’t help but wonder, if killing is effective, where did the feud for two thousand years come from? What is the value of all the struggles of this generation in the giant story line? Is it shocking or another bad custom to force deconstruction for deconstruction and reverse for reversal?

In this discussion, some people take Death and Naruto, which are also criticized as "rotten tails", as a comparison. If other "rotten tails" are still traceable, Giant comics maintained a very good level before 137 words, until the last two words, suddenly the plot came to such a big dive.

In the comments at the end, a word used by many people is "I’m desperate to see". In the first 99% of the plot, we are presented with an in-depth story of a young man who breaks the tradition, which makes many readers bring emotion and infinite empathy for the characters (and therefore spend a lot of money). In the last 1% of the time, all the past bedding was overturned, and "killing" people was caught off guard.

After the final words of "Giant" caused an uproar, many people turned over the words of Lushan Chuang in an interview in the past. In the conversation, he said that he could accept the ending of "Quan You" and would not consider the expectations of readers. Like a "crime forecast", it predicted the ending he wanted to create.

Iris published an article called "The Giant", which wrote: "The real bad thing about the finale is that the author undoubtedly knows what the readers want to see and how to satisfy them, but he chose to destroy every bundle accurately. Just as the designer of a building falls into the dark side and decides to install a bomb in his designed building, he will certainly be able to complete the task of bombing the building in the most streamlined and effective way. "

02.

We want to see a happy ending. Why is it so difficult?

In past interviews, Lushan Chuang has repeatedly mentioned the pain of being restricted and insisted on "maintaining creative freedom". On the other hand, we will also feel confused. Why do the long serials we chase often seem to be "unfinished"? Is it so difficult to see a good ending?

This has to mention the Japanese cartoon creation system. The Attacking Giant is serialized in Another Book Junior MAGAZINE, which is a special book of Weekly Junior Magazine, one of Japan’s three major juvenile comic magazines. Japanese teenagers tend to pay attention to "friendship", "hard work" and "victory", and serialized cartoons are not limited by these big frameworks.

Different magazines have different requirements. For example, Weekly Youth JUMP strictly implements the voting mechanism for readers, and those with low popularity may be halved and end in a hurry. The works with high popularity will be asked by the editor to continue serializing. This system does inspire the author, but it also brings other problems.

Generally, when creating cartoons, the general story frame and world outlook are set. If it is extended indefinitely for the sake of popularity, it will violate the basic law of works creation, and there will be more story patterns of the same theme, which will become more and more "routine", and the initial setting will become boring after getting tired of it.

In this kind of partial industrial work creation, it becomes very difficult to end in the place where it should end; Only a few authors take the initiative to ask the ending works to have a good ending, such as You You Bai Shu and Dunk Master. And every time a long work is discussed as "unfinished", "The Alchemist of Steel" will be pulled out for "praise".

A Zhihu netizen summed up the four major performances of "Steel Refining": First, the quality of the whole process remained online; Second, the beginning and the end: the pits are filled in, and the characters have also explained the ending; Third, the logic is strong, and the whole article focuses on the core value: equivalent exchange; Fourth, consistency: the characterization is always logical and reasonable, and there is no big contradiction between the setting before and after.

In fact, this kind of unfinished problem often occurs not only in the spread of the sun, but also in the long serial/broadcast film and television works all over the world A number of American dramas, such as House of Cards, Lost, Prison Break, etc., are all high and low, and there are many kinds of bad endings. No wonder some people joke, if you discuss the bad drama you have seen, everyone can talk endlessly.

In addition to the problems brought about by the production mechanism, there are also some difficulties in the nature of creation. The creation of serial mode itself has a structural dilemma, especially when it is necessary to carry out the story in a brand-new background that is different from ordinary people’s daily life experience.

Of course, this may also be the limitation of the long theme itself. Especially for these "super-expanded" and "high-concept" works, they are more like a large-scale human nature experiment and exploration, which puts characters in extreme environments for thinking and exploration.

In "high-concept" fantasy works, short stories usually impact readers instantly through very specific and extreme scenes, and the ending does not need to be finished as a whole after the big expansion, so the ending of these stories is easier and more interesting, and it can also lead to thinking by leaving blank space, such as Love, Death, Robot, Black Mirror and Mermaid’s Forest.

And long stories usually have to design the lives of the characters and their emotions, in other words, let the characters enter the world life for a long time, and once they imagine life, they can’t get away from the shackles of the existing social structure of human beings, or more and more people see the shadow of real life in the stories. If the long story is more social modeling and "over-expanded", it will be more difficult to give a reasonable ending.

Just like "westworld", which entered a weak stage in the later period, the first three episodes went into chaos in a hurry. How can we expand rich plots around the protagonists under the huge setting beyond the framework of daily life, so that the protagonists can conform to emotional logic and have credible behavioral motives when dealing with various contradictions, and finally solve the pit buried by the setting? This is a great challenge for all creators.

Photo: "westworld", which is what many people once expected for "Giant"

As the story progresses, the creator will always face such a difficult problem: how to set the story and difficult problem under the framework for himself, give a convincing solution, or a reasonable ending. In order to solve these problems, creators must have enough thinking and accumulation on the "bottom logic" of knowledge structures such as history, sociology and psychology, otherwise they will easily fall into a mediocre pattern.

On the other hand, for dramas with narrative tricks, such as westworld, Alien Catastrophe and Attack Giant, works based on surreal settings with suspense, reversal and human nature experiments as their selling points must not only make the basic emotions of the characters acceptable to the audience, but also make the behavioral motives of the characters conform to various logics in the constantly updated storyline, so it is very easy to lose sight of one thing and lose sight of the other.

These "brain-burning" interests are a powerful attraction element for the current audience, and drama creation often falls into such a cycle: readers guess, seek novelty excessively, and leak secrets, which leads to not pursuing convention excessively and being more "over-expanded". In the future, because there are too many story clues, it is actually more difficult to write a reasonable ending.

Today, if a long work is only a simple happy ending, it is obvious that it can’t satisfy today’s audience. And a slightly ambitious creator will try to make some "reversals" that break the routine.

From this point of view, The Giant really continues "darkness, cruelty and reversal", but apart from Lushan Chuang’s possible malicious and blunt reaction, there are still many contents that can be further discussed about the handling method and historical trend behind the giant’s ending.

03.

History may be such a stalemate.

As for the ending of Giant, some people think that it is a manifestation of Lushan Chuang’s hidden militarism or destructive desire; Some people think that this is a deconstructive expression that he simply doesn’t want to solve the fate metaphor of the giant curse he set himself; Others complain that Lushan Chuang lacks real enthusiasm and creative desire to solve historical grievances, and can only respond to camp conflicts with "balance of power/balance of power diplomacy" that has long been proved invalid by history.

We can’t completely restore Lushan Chuang’s motivation for making this decision, or easily define him and The Giant in one or two words. In the huge controversy about the outcome, different people see different angles, and also have various discussions about history, humanity and social form. From this point of view, "Giant" is worthy of its own pit.

Taking Quan You as an example, it is also a fantasy work with some fantasy settings (dragons and ghosts). Finally, it chose to let the monarch who owns dragons die and the ghosts completely perish, and became the ending of human constitutional monarchy which is most in line with the historical trend.

It is really difficult to imagine how a monarch with the power of the dragon can unite various human forces full of cracks and continue to fight against alien ghosts, which is beyond the current social conception of mankind. In the ending of Quan You, the laziest way was adopted, and the influence of all fantasy settings on the ending was deleted by forced death, which also skipped all the possibilities of the entanglement between theocracy and secular regime, and made the story of medieval aristocratic struggle fast forward to the period of "constitutional monarchy", forcibly shrinking all clues and ending abruptly.

Looking at The Giant with the same mode, it also uses the simplest and rudest way to return the story to the historical track without "magic".

Originally, in the thousand-year feud war between two countries, we saw that there was more than a simple confrontation between countries. There are geographical considerations, intertwined economic and resource replacement, not to mention the flirting between power figures; In these complicated situations, the people’s confrontation with the righteous cause and the simple enemy and ourselves is often just a tool instigated by the rulers.

However, after constructing the moral dilemma and social dilemma, the author adopts such a solution: let the protagonist Allen play the tyrant and kill 80% of mankind, and then let others kill Allen, and the resentment will be solved.

At first glance, it looks like a moral paradox experiment like a tram track, but it actually embodies a kind of "balance of power" thinking. Apart from the rigid transformation of the characters in the plot, the practical benefits of this kind of experiment have been proved to be invalid many times in the past history.

"Balance of power" is a concept in international relations. Since the Victorian era, Britain has long implemented the balance of power among countries in the European continent. After the Vienna Peace Treaty in the 19th century, the European continent maintained a balance for about 50 years. Finally, with the strong rise of the German Empire and the weakness of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it completely failed, and inevitably there were two world wars in the 20th century.

If we use the experience of human history to shine into the story of Giant, the ending of temporary peace is undoubtedly an ironic "hypocritical" peace.

Of course, from another angle, it can also be interpreted as follows: the author Lushan Chuang has no intention of giving a possible solution, he is full of disappointment with human history, and the peace given in the story is bound to be short-lived.

The Giant was once regarded as a serious anti-war theme in its early days, and its final ending "collapse" also symbolizes the difficulties encountered by human existing political thoughts in resolving disputes.

In the 276th issue of Eight Points, Liang Wendao looked at the ending of The Giant in this way: "When the comics progressed all the way, I couldn’t help touching these’ classic’ theme discussions-centralization and freedom, fairness and class, obedience and loyalty, independence, national interests and personal interests, and how should all this end?

Does the maintenance, establishment and balance of the world depend on the guarantee of mutual destruction in the cold war era? In other words, the foundation of peace is a mutual fear?

From this point of view, I think this ending is just right. This ending is very similar to the real world. The whole world has entered a temporary state of compromise. This compromise is not a compromise formed through negotiation, but an ending that is glued through war and delays the final outbreak of contradictions.

In the end, nothing has been solved, and there may be a lot of problems left. We all know that this state will not last long, but isn’t this the road we have taken in human history? "

　　　　As we all know, engine, gearbox and chassis are the three key components of an automobile, and they are also the core technologies that a vehicle manufacturer must master. In the last article, we talked about the achievements of independent brands in engine research and development. In the early stage, independent manufacturers mostly used imitation and purchase to obtain engine technology. Compared with engines, the lack of self-owned brands in automatic gearbox technology is more obvious. The research and development of automatic gearbox is difficult, with high technical content, and it is difficult to imitate in a short period of time, which makes it impossible for self-owned brands to develop automatic gearboxes that can be applied on a large scale at present.

Technical blockade! Automatic gearbox inventory of dozens of autonomous vehicles

　　　　There is a great demand for automatic gearbox in the market, and the demand is still growing, which makes independent brands can only obtain automatic gearbox by purchasing. However, the lack of their own technology and the restrictions of foreign gearbox manufacturers also lead to the limited choice of automatic gearbox for independent brands, and most of the products they carry do not have much technical advantage. Today, what we are going to introduce to you are several automatic gearboxes that are common in our own brand models.

　　　● AT gearbox

　　　　Manual gearbox is mainly composed of gears and shafts, which produce variable speed and torque through different gear combinations; The automatic gearbox AT is composed of hydraulic torque converter, planetary gear and hydraulic control system, which realizes variable speed and torque by means of hydraulic transmission and gear combination.

　　　　Hydraulic torque converter is the most characteristic component of AT gearbox, which is composed of pump wheel, turbine and guide wheel, and directly inputs engine power to transmit torque and clutch action. Pump wheel and turbine are a pair of working combinations, which are like two fans placed opposite each other. The wind from one active fan will drive the blades of the other passive fan to rotate, and the flowing air — — Wind becomes the medium of kinetic energy transfer.

　
Hydraulic torque converter of conventional automatic gearbox

　　　　If air is replaced by liquid as the medium to transfer kinetic energy, the pump wheel will drive the turbine to rotate through the liquid, and then a guide wheel is added between the pump wheel and the turbine to improve the transfer efficiency of the liquid. Because the range of automatic speed change and torque change of hydraulic torque converter is not large enough and the efficiency is low, several rows of planetary gears are connected in series behind the turbine to improve the efficiency, and the hydraulic control system will automatically control the planetary gears with the change of engine work, thus realizing automatic gear shift.

　　　　Self-owned brand AT gearbox provider 1: Aisin Seiki

　　　　Manufacturer profile:Japan Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. is one of the world’s top 500 enterprises and the ninth largest auto parts manufacturer in the world. Founded in 1949, the company is the main supplier of Toyota auto parts, and its auto parts manufacturing technology is world-famous.

　
Aisin Seiki provides AT gearboxes for most domestic independent manufacturers.

　　　　Aisin Japan Co., Ltd. is an import and export trading company specializing in auto parts, auto warranty equipment, hardware, mechanical equipment, power tools and other products. About 95% of the company’s sales come from auto parts, but the company also manufactures refrigeration equipment and cutting machines, as well as consumer products such as beds and sewing machines. Aisin Seiki has subsidiaries in the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia.

　　　　Roewe 750

　　　　Aisin Triple-Mode five-speed automatic manual transmission

　　　　Named KV6, the 2.5 V6 engine is mounted on the Roewe 750, SAIC’s first self-owned brand model. It is said that it is of the same ancestry as the Land Rover Freelander in the UK, and it is also made of aviation-grade all-aluminum material in terms of materials, which not only reduces the weight by 40%, but also improves the efficiency by 20%, and can explode 135KW at 6500 rpm. With EVIC-III intelligent dual-valve variable air intake control technology, the maximum power is 135KW/6500rpm and the maximum torque is 240Nm/4000rpm.

　　　●　continuously variable transmission

　　　　CVT has no specific gear, and its operation is similar to that of automatic gearbox, but the change of speed ratio is different from the trip stop process of automatic gearbox, but continuous, so the power transmission is continuous and smooth.

　　　　The advantages of CVT are as follows: First, the power output of CVT gearbox is linear, and the shifting frustration caused by it also disappears, which is very smooth in actual driving. Secondly, the transmission system of CVT can have infinitely many gears in theory, and the gear ratio, speed ratio and the balance of performance, fuel consumption and exhaust emission in the traditional transmission system are easier to achieve. Finally, the mechanical efficiency and fuel economy of CVT transmission are much better than ordinary automatic transmission, second only to manual transmission, and the fuel economy is much better.

continuously variable transmission

　　　　So CVT has no shortcomings? The answer is no, first of all, when starting or accelerating, CVT steel belt or belt is prone to slip, which will affect the power transmission, thus affecting the acceleration feeling. Secondly, CVT steel belt or belt material requirements are relatively high. Although CVT has a simple structure, if it fails, it is generally not a minor problem. This will affect the use of car owners and increase maintenance costs.

　　　　●AMT gearbox

　　　　Automatic mechanical transmission (AMT) is a new type of transmission that electronically controls the traditional dry clutch and manual gear transmission to realize automatic shifting, and its control process basically simulates the driver’s operation. According to the driver’s intention, the electronic control part of AMT gearbox can automatically control the clutch and shift process. More complicated, we don’t need to go into details. In fact, we can imagine the shift process of AMT in this way. His clutch and shift mechanism are controlled by electronic parts, and the shift will be automatic naturally.

　
Electric control device and hydraulic actuator of AMT

　　　　The biggest advantage of AMT gearbox is that it does not need to make too much changes to the existing manual gearbox, and its technical structure is relatively simple, and the cost is not too high for manufacturers. In fact, AMT is a manual gearbox with electronically controlled clutch and shift program, so it is the same dry clutch as manual transmission, so the transmission force is more direct and the fuel consumption is more economical. The ordinary AT gearbox adopts hydraulic "clutch", which will have some losses in energy transmission and slightly higher fuel consumption.

AMT is somewhat similar to an automatic manual transmission.

　　　　Of course, AMT has obvious shortcomings, that is, the shift quality is not high and it is prone to frustration. If you don’t step on the accelerator, the car won’t move forward even if you shift into D gear. This is somewhat different from the ordinary AT gearbox.

Chen Yue, deputy director of Chongqing Station Workshop of China Railway Chengdu Bureau Group Co., Ltd., said that the passenger flow of students, visiting relatives and returning migrant workers will be scattered before the holiday, and the passenger flow will be relatively flat after the holiday. It is expected that the return flow of visiting relatives, the flow of working in the south, the flow of students and the flow of working in the north will be staggered in turn.

In Spring Festival travel rush this year, the station has set up green channels for verification and security inspection at each entrance, and emergency passengers who arrive 15 minutes before driving will be given priority security inspection by volunteers.

In addition, the station organizes party member, youth commandos and volunteers to provide service guidance in key parts such as the waiting room, ticket office and service desk to ensure the safety of passengers’ travel and the waiting order. At the same time, give full play to the brand role of "Malian Service Desk" and "Hongyan Service Station", a national demonstration site for learning from Lei Feng, and actively carry out "silver hair service" to provide caring services for elderly tourists.

Add ticket window and green channel at bus station.

On January 13, the reporter went to the four-kilometer bus station in Nan ‘an District, and the number of passengers increased somewhat compared with the past. "Soldiers, firefighters, survivors of heroes and heroes have special ticket sales windows, and we strictly implement the preferential treatment policy for transportation." You Wu, deputy manager of the passenger transport department of the four-kilometer bus station, said that it is expected that the average daily passenger traffic in Spring Festival travel rush this year will be the same as last year, with an average of 8,000 passengers per day and about 400 classes; The concentrated travel time of passenger flow is from January 25 to January 28, and the daily peak passenger flow is expected to be around 30,000. To this end, the station has successively opened manual ticket sales windows, expanded online and self-service ticket sales channels, and provided convenient ticket purchase services for passengers.

"During the peak passenger flow period, we will also temporarily adjust the departure area of some line buses to realize the orderly diversion of passengers and ease the operating pressure of the ticket office, waiting room and parking space." You Wu said that the station will dynamically allocate capacity through reasonable arrangement of flights to ensure that passengers queue less, get tickets, take cars and get home.

The airport sets up a special check-in counter for urgent and special passengers.

On January 13th, the reporter saw in T3A Terminal of Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport that three staff members wearing beige coats and ribbons were helping the check-in passengers. Their ribbons are printed with the words "urgent passengers, let me help you". "During this year’s Spring Festival travel rush, we will increase the number of standby personnel according to the number of passengers on the flight and increase the on-site support force." According to the relevant person in charge, Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport has introduced a series of Spring Festival travel rush safeguard measures.

For example, for specific groups of passengers such as express passengers, first-time passengers, and groups, exclusive check-in counters and eye-catching summoning tips are set up, and special personnel are also set up on both sides of the check-in island to form a linkage with all security links in the service chain to escort them. At the same time, the "three exemptions" transit service is also introduced, that is, no baggage collection, no exit from the quarantine area and no second security check.

In addition, Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport will arrange Spring Festival travel rush volunteers during peak hours to provide guidance, assistance and other services for passengers, and provide efficient and warm-hearted quality services. Provide the whole process of "love" guidance service for first-time passengers, elderly passengers over 60 years old, passengers carrying infants under 3 years old, disabled passengers and late arrival passengers.

　　Character business card

　　Shi Yunyu: Academician of China Academy of Sciences, biophysicist and structural biologist, professor and doctoral supervisor of China University of Science and Technology. Born in Chongqing in April 1942, she was admitted to the Department of Biophysics of the Chinese University of Science and Technology in 1960. Since then, she has formed an indissoluble bond with life science. Over the years, Shi Yunyu has been sticking to the front line of scientific research, using structural biology methods to study the molecular mechanism of gene expression regulation and cell fate determination, and has made many innovative achievements, making contributions to China’s biological nuclear magnetic resonance research in the world.

　　Dressed in a cloth and with silver hair, Shi Yunyu clicked the mouse neatly in the office, and the three-dimensional structure of protein jumped into his eyes: "The world of biomacromolecules is full of unknowns. We have encountered many difficulties and challenges in the research process, but we must not give up lightly." Shi Yunxi said.

　　My father’s words and deeds, what he saw and heard on his way to school, let the seeds of scientific research serve the country take root.

　　Shi Yunyu has always had a scientific research dream! Whether she leaned against her father when she was young, listened to him describe the colorful physical world, or came into contact with the frontier of life science on the long way to school, the idea of serving the country through scientific research always lingered in her mind … …

　　Shi Yunyu was born in the era of war. The experience of being displaced as a child made her realize that personal destiny is always closely linked with the destiny of the country and the nation. Father Shih-Yuan Sze is a doctor of physics under the guidance of Madame Curie. After graduation, Shih-Yuan Sze, then 25, returned to China to teach and became one of the pioneers of nuclear physics research and higher education in China. In Shi Yunyu’s view, the spirit of serving the country through scientific research is vividly displayed in his father; His words and deeds also inspired Shi Yunyu’s enthusiasm for scientific research.

　　With a passion for natural science, Shi Yunyu was admitted to China University of Science and Technology in 1960. At that time, biophysics was a new discipline and the education system was not yet mature. "Academician Bei Shizhang, then head of the biophysics department of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, believed that the curriculum should be ‘ Four unlike ’ Let students lay a good foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. " Shi Yunyu said that it is the solid basic course study that lays a solid foundation for his future scientific research work.

　　In the classroom, the days when scholars such as Qian Xuesen, Hua Luogeng and Yan Jici gave lectures to everyone made her remember vividly … … Shi Yunyu said: "How fortunate to be able to feel the deep patriotic feelings of the older generation of scientists at close range!" In the auditorium, everyone gathered around a black-and-white TV set and rejoiced at the China athletes winning the world table tennis championship. She still can’t forget it: "When I was young, everyone’s enterprising state always inspired me and made me determined to contribute to the construction of the motherland with my own scientific research results."

　　After graduating from college, Shi Yunyu was first assigned to work in the former Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Ministry of Health; In 1970, she returned to China University of Science and Technology to teach, and before long, she moved south from Beijing to Hefei, Anhui.

　　Shi Yunyu undertook the task of relocating instruments and equipment to the south. Together with her colleagues, she moved boxes full of equipment from the teaching building to the station in Beijing, and then moved them from the station to the teaching building … …

　　Engaged in computer molecular dynamics simulation of biological macromolecules earlier; Leading the establishment of the key laboratory of structural biology of Chinese Academy of Sciences

　　The southward migration of China University of Science and Technology has gone through hardships, with the loss of scientific research equipment and weak teaching strength … … "Fortunately, the school later took a series of new measures and gradually got on the right track." Shi Yunyu said that the school provided opportunities for young teachers to go abroad for further study, and she became the first young teacher in the Biology Department of the Chinese University of Science and Technology to pass the examination of the Ministry of Education. She went abroad twice for further study, engaged in computational biology research and biological nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy research, and learned the theoretical and experimental methods of studying the structure and function of biological macromolecules with molecular dynamics and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Shi Yunyu said: "The experience of studying abroad has broadened my scientific research horizons and urged me to work harder to acquire knowledge."

　　In the 1970s, Shi Yunyu and his colleagues were eager to keep up with the pace of international academic circles and carry out cutting-edge research on biomacromolecules in the University of Science and Technology of China, but they lacked funds and instruments. In order to promote the project quickly, Shi Yunyu and his colleagues went all over the library in Shanghai, searched for literature and materials, and racked their brains for two weeks before finishing the application for the National High-tech Research and Development Plan.

　　At that time, there were three subjects selected by the Biology Department of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, and the "New Technology Research of Molecular Design in protein" which Shi Yunyu was in charge of was one of them. Since then, she began to engage in computer molecular dynamics simulation of biological macromolecules and became one of the pioneers in this field in China. The project "Computer Simulation of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics" led by Shi Yunyu won the second prize of the Natural Science Award of China Academy of Sciences in 1996 and the third prize of the National Natural Science Award in 1999.

　　In the early 1990s, Shi Yunyu’s laboratory was supported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and bought the first 500 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, which can be used for the solution structure of biological macromolecules. However, when the experiment was really carried out, there were still many difficulties … … Her attitude is firm: "scientific research should be devoted, able to withstand loneliness and twists and turns." The research group led by Shi Yunyu analyzed the solution structures of a series of important protein, and revealed the protein interaction and its functional significance. She also led the establishment of the Key Laboratory of Structural Biology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and later became an important part of Hefei National Research Center for Microscale Material Science.

　　Do popular science for primary and secondary school students, teach basic courses for undergraduates, and train more young scientific research talents.

　　Shouxian County, Anhui Province, No.1 Middle School. On the stage, Shi Yunyu held a microphone and explained his own experience and knowledge of life science. Under the stage, the students were absorbed and deeply attracted by the biomacromolecule world she described. From the stimulation of scientific interest to the choice of scientific research direction, from laying a solid foundation to the enthusiasm of serving the country, in an hour and a half, Shi Yunyu planted the seeds of science in the hearts of children … …

　　Although he is 80 years old, Shi Yunyu still walks into primary and secondary schools many times to give lectures on popular science to students. "Being exposed to scientific knowledge since childhood has aroused my curiosity and embarked on the road of scientific research; I also want to pass this enthusiasm on to the children. " Shi Yunyu hopes to open a window of science for children.

　　Shi Yunyu remembers: In 2019, at Huangtugang Town Central Primary School in Macheng, Hubei Province, she gave a popular science class on "Hemoglobin and Hemoglobin Diseases" to children in Dabie Mountains. Her classmates’ eyes are full of thirst for scientific knowledge, which deeply touched her, so she likes to go out of campus and go to the mountains … …

　　In the College of Life Sciences of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, in order to strengthen the basic education of undergraduates, Shi Yunyu insisted on giving general biology classes to freshmen for many years. Shi Yunyu said that for interdisciplinary subjects, basic courses are very important. "Teaching is the bounden duty of teachers, and I want to train more talents for science." As the first dean of the School of Life Sciences of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, together with her colleagues, she took the lead in establishing a complete teaching system of structural biology and computational biology in the Chinese University of Science and Technology, and specially invited experts from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to teach students and trained a group of young academic leaders working in interdisciplinary fields such as computational biology and structural biology.

　　Today, with her silver hair, she still rushes to work in the laboratory every day. In school, when she meets Shi Yunyu, the students always call her "Grandma Shi" in a friendly way. At present, "Grandma Shi" has begun to study the structure of protein related to aging and degenerative diseases and the molecular and cellular mechanism of diseases. In addition, she is actively promoting the research of artificial intelligence and biomedicine. She believes that every new field has a lot of knowledge to learn, and the happiness of mountaineering is not only the moment when you reach the top of the mountain, but also in the process of continuous climbing.

　　■ Reporter’s Notes

　　Research never stops, only lifelong learning.

　　During the interview, Shi Yunyu was full of interest when he mentioned the frontier development in the field of life sciences … … At the age of 80, she is willing to study with young people while cultivating scientific research talents. In Shi Yunyu’s view, being able to explore the mysteries of the biomacromolecule world with students is both happy and fulfilling. Young people always learn new things faster, and they can experience the taste of being a student when they meet something she doesn’t quite understand.

　　Life science is closely related to population health, medicine and ecology, and the life world is full of many unsolved scientific problems. For Shi Yunyu, research never stops, only lifelong learning. It is countless scientists, like her, who keep their enthusiasm for learning and keep climbing up, which makes scientific research full of vitality … …
