Chapter 1433: Is This Alien Technology?

According to market research, the price of new energy vehicles with these specifications is generally around 300,000 yuan, so what is the selling price of our Snow Wolf?

Luo Quan snapped her fingers, and the assistant backstage saw the signal and immediately pressed the button to switch the PPT.

A huge "100,000 RMB" appeared before everyone's eyes, accompanied by explosive background music, and at the same time, the audience's gasps could be heard.

"One hundred thousand?! I must be seeing things, right?!"

"I can understand one hundred thousand US dollars, but one hundred thousand RMB? I really didn't expect that."

"With this configuration and this price, even if it self-destructs after driving for a while, I'd praise it for exploding well."

"As long as the other components aren't too bad, this car can sweep the entire new energy vehicle market!"

"Besides Luo Quan being awesome, I have nothing else to say."

"Can such a car really be bought for just 100,000 yuan? Won't it be limited to only a few units?"

"Selling it this cheaply, some are worried about quality issues."

……………………

Luo Quan couldn't see the praise and worries in the bullet comments, but she had already anticipated what netizens would be concerned about.

After announcing the price, Luo Quan manually switched the app and wrote to netizens about all the product quality guarantees and after-sales service that Nikola Automobile possesses.

"The cowhide isn't blown, the train isn't blown—how good is the quality of Nikola Automobile products? You can ask online; our reputation has always been far ahead!"

This was the first time Luo Quan used the phrase, and "far ahead" would appear many times tonight, quickly becoming an internet meme.

Creating memes was a marketing plan Luo Quan had prepared long ago; a brand without its own meme in this era of traffic and heat is undoubtedly a failure.

So Luo Quan chose "far ahead" as the meme for her brand, and mentioning it multiple times at the launch will surely leave a deep impression on netizens.

After buying a few more hot searches and boosting it, won't this meme just be created?

Internet memes work like this: relying on viral spread, they quickly form fixed thinking in people's minds; seeing these few words lets one quickly grasp their extended meaning, then unfold vast associations.

It sounds simple, and in practice it's not difficult either—as long as you're willing to spend money on ads, even a lame meme can go viral.

Moreover, saying "far ahead" just feels magically catchy, with a lingering beauty like echoes circling beams for three days.

So when Luo Quan first said "far ahead," many fans in the live stream began to sense the elements.

Of course, most people are still more concerned about the price of this Snow Wolf car.

With performance this fierce, the price being only 100,000 yuan truly exceeds most people's cognition.

Especially since Nikola has already established a good reputation for being both high-quality and affordable in China.

No quality issues, such a people-friendly price, performance blowing away competitors—netizens don't know how fiery this car will become.

"Alright, the first car today ends here; next is the second car, Lion Heart, which you can also call Rheinheart."

Luo Quan moved her fingers slightly, and the second car appeared before everyone.

This is a large off-road vehicle resembling a Hummer, with a wild and rugged design style, full of power and wild beauty.

"What matters most for an off-road vehicle? Of course, it's the ability to keep running in harsh environments."

Luo Quan got straight to the point, introducing the second car's performance while playing the VCR.

In the video, the Lion Heart off-road vehicle gallops through water pits half a tire deep, flies through mud, and even through wheat fields, thickets, rock piles, and deserts—in short, all common harsh environments are basically covered.

"The video you see is just less than five seconds of edited content for each environment, but the truth is, we conducted long-duration posture experiments of up to one thousand kilometers for each environment, and during this time, Lion Heart encountered not a single failure!"

Luo Quan said this and emphasized her tone: "So just imagine how durable this car is—after buying it, car bloggers can freely conduct destruction experiments, and I believe it will bring everyone more surprises than shown in the video! Because of its durability, it is far ahead in its class!

Of course, what is far ahead isn't just durability; its price is also far ahead, just in the opposite direction."

The PPT switched again, this time displaying a price of 250,000 yuan.

Still ridiculously cheap—those who don't know might think this is a tractor modified into a large off-road vehicle.

Actually, once this thing hits the road, its pulling power might even be greater than a tractor's.

However, off-road vehicles remain a niche type in China; older brothers might prefer this rugged style, but most young people still favor handsome sedans.

As for girls, they probably aren't interested in off-road vehicles either.

So even though Lion Heart's design is very wild, the waves it stirs up aren't as big as those from the previous Snow Wolf.

"Next up is today's heavyweight product—heads up, this car will be relatively expensive."

With Luo Quan's advance notice, the launch event entered tonight's climax.

"Tonight's third car is called Night Dragon; I'll only say two numbers about it: 0 to 100 km/h in 0.99 seconds, top speed of 550 km/h."

After saying that, Luo Quan released Night Dragon's photos.

This is a work with the same design style as Luo Quan's ink jade kirin, though the alien tech feel isn't as strong as hers, but in terms of turning heads, it's absolutely a combat car among sports cars.

Of course, being handsome is one thing, but what shocked netizens more was its speed.

As everyone knows, new energy vehicles accelerate far beyond fuel cars, but their top speed is easily blown away by fuel sports cars—each has its strengths.

But Night Dragon not only surpasses new energy vehicles in acceleration, it also surpasses fuel sports cars in top speed, both reaching the pinnacle of excellence, and compared to current sports cars, they're simply not in the same dimension.

No wonder Luo Quan said this is a revolutionary new car launch—this performance is indeed too exaggeratedly improved, leaving a bunch of big shots saying they somewhat can't understand it.

As for the bullet comments, they've already gone wild:

"Is sub-one-second 0 to 100 km/h acceleration real or fake?"

"Maybe many friends don't know what this means—it's just the time it takes to blink twice, and this flashy thing already goes from zero to 100 km/h."

"Top speed over 500 km/h—can new energy vehicles really run that fast?"

"I've seen records of new energy vehicles' top speed being over 200 km/h per hour—this is almost doubled."

"Other than that, the key is this appearance is truly handsome—much better than many sports cars costing several million."

"I'd call Night Dragon the all-around king of sports cars—it's already gathered everyone's strengths; aside from possibly astronomical price, it should have no flaws!"

"A supercar—expensive price isn't its flaw, but ours."

"Hahaha, hit home, bro."

……………………

While netizens were discussing the price, Luo Quan had already proactively revealed the price on her end.

"One million two hundred thousand, and then also giving a rain umbrella with a handle made of pure gold, which is considered a symbol of identity."

After Luo Quan finished stating the price, she fell silent for a moment, then continued: "For a supercar, this price can be said to be quite cheap, but Nicola's brand power currently still falls short compared to those century-old manufacturers.

However, our performance is absolutely far ahead, and we also believe that in the near future, Nicola's supercar will also become a symbol of glory.

As for the Night Dragon, it is currently the second-strongest supercar in the world in terms of performance, we are far ahead of all peers, currently have no rivals, and even within the next five years there will be no rivals!"

Luo Quan's words were full of confidence, because she knew her car had been mixed with a lot of alien technology, and for earthlings to match it would be nothing short of miraculous.

"Luo Quan, I want to ask a question." At this moment, an invited automotive blogger raised his hand to ask a question.

"Please go ahead." Luo Quan reached out and smiled.

"You just said the Night Dragon is the world's second-ranked supercar in performance, so what is ranked first, and is it also from Nicola Company?"

"Correct answer." Luo Quan gave a light smile, "The world's best supercar is my personal vehicle, the Ink Jade Kirin, but there is only one in the entire world, no exceptions, so regarding the Night Dragon as first place is not inappropriate at all."

The second blogger also immediately raised his hand, eager to ask: "Luo Quan, forgive my frankness, the Night Dragon's performance is truly explosive, and compared to other new energy vehicles, this is no longer just a simple performance improvement, but a complete performance revolution from head to toe, may I ask if it really is as powerful as you say?"

"I understand your skepticism, so please watch the VCR!"

Luo Quan raised her hand and pointed to the big screen.

The video playing was of the Night Dragon speeding down a straight highway.

Beside it stood several well-known supercars, such as Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and so on.

Just looking at the Night Dragon alone, perhaps one cannot yet see how handsome it truly is, but when several supercars are placed together for comparison, it immediately stands out like a crane among chickens.

And their speeds, to appear even more like a crane among chickens.

Several cars were lined up in a row, clearly intending to compare speed.

And after the starting gun fired, the Night Dragon started up a full two seconds later than the other cars before finally igniting.

In the world of supercars, even being 0.5 seconds slower means a huge difference.

But the Night Dragon's driver dared to start the supercar this slowly, showing how confident he is in his vehicle's performance.

After all, this is a straight track, just need to floor the accelerator, no technical skill required.

And what shocked everyone even more was that the Night Dragon, which started two seconds late, actually surpassed the other supercars in just a few seconds, then pulled away completely, its speed so fast that other cars couldn't even see its taillights.

"The above test content consists of absolutely true and valid data, I can bear legal responsibility for these." Luo Quan said solemnly.

The entire venue was quite quiet, because everyone had been genuinely startled by the Night Dragon's performance.

If this supercar truly has such performance, then even selling it for ten million yuan would find many buyers, and after buying it they would still praise this car as truly handsome.

However, such a car is currently priced at only over one million yuan, this price truly is a loss-leading promotion.

Seeing the crowd silent, Luo Quan continued: "Considering that each driver's skill level varies, zero-to-hundred acceleration being too fast is sometimes not a good thing, so our car also has three driving modes.

One is full power mode, in this mode you can fully unleash the car's extra performance, after flooring the accelerator you will feel like the wind in an extremely short time.

Other sports cars are too fast, while your sports car just flies too low.

The second performance mode is highway mode, the car in this mode balances speed and steering, while reminding you whether the current situation allows overtaking.

The third is city mode, in this situation you should just drive slowly and honestly, after all any supercar in high-speed conditions is equivalent to a shell

If you bought the Night Dragon just to race in the city, then city mode will be your best choice, it will limit your maximum speed forever below a safe value, even if you are drunk driving and stomp on the accelerator.

Luo Quan said up to this point and laughed: "Of course, drunk driving is definitely a crime, but we need to anticipate every kind of scenario, of course including drunk driving.

Originally I wanted to install a detector in the car, as long as it detected the driver's alcohol content exceeding the limit! directly preventing the car from starting.

But later I thought doing this would be too invasive of others' privacy, so we developed a safety mode, which is the city mode.

In this mode, everyone's life safety will be guaranteed, even if you are in the situation of drunk driving."

Luo Quan said a lot in one breath, finally stopped after finishing, walked to the table edge, picked up a bottle of Farmer's Three Fists and took a big gulp.

Then she said: "By the way, I almost forgot, our car also has a major feature: intelligent driving, in non-highway environments the car can achieve a certain degree of autonomous driving, and the intelligence level is also far ahead."

For other new energy vehicles, intelligent driving is an advanced technology worth writing extensively about, and can even be used as a main selling point.

But at Luo Quan's end, it is just a minor feature mentioned only at the end.

Actually, Nicola's intelligent driving system really can achieve unmanned driving in most environments.

But because real-world roads have too many changes, anything could happen at any time.

So even though the technology is so advanced, Luo Quan dares not say intelligent driving can completely replace humans.

After all, if someone hears this and uses intelligent driving every day from now on, and one day something happens, blaming the car's driving system would just cause trouble.

So Luo Quan did not over-praise this system, which is to lower everyone's expectations.

This way, when the crowd discovers that this driving system is actually far more impressive than imagined, they will instead gain a greater surprise.
