BYD Super Hybrid Qin PLUS launches "Four Musketeers" to launch the year-end market.

Following the release of the blade battery in March this year, at the end of the year, BYD launched the DM-i super hybrid technology again.

On November 20th, the first day of the 18th Guangzhou Auto Show, Qin PLUS Super Hybrid made its world debut at BYD booth in Hall 5.2, 2E01. Also unveiled with Qin PLUS are Han, 2021 Tang and Song PLUS fuel and other heavy vehicles, as well as technologies such as blade batteries and DM-I.

Qin PLUS launches "Four Musketeers" to launch the year-end market.

At this Guangzhou Auto Show, BYD released the first car Qin PLUS equipped with DM-i super hybrid technology. Compared with the same class, it has three outstanding advantages: fuel consumption of less than 4L per 100 kilometers, excellent driving comfort and super aesthetic design. It is expected that after listing, it will rebuild the brand-new standard of family sedan with strong product strength and brand-new use experience, and launch a "dimension reduction attack" on fuel vehicles.

Qin PLUS is the fourth heavy-duty model newly listed by BYD this year after Han, 2021 Tang and Song PLUS. At present, Han, Tang and Song PLUS have been listed for just a few months, with excellent performance and frequent good news. The dual flagships of Han and Tang New Energy sold a total of 11,266 vehicles in October, ranking first in the sales of high-end new energy China brand cars. Up to now, Han has ordered 50,000 vehicles and delivered 25,000 vehicles, and its monthly production capacity has exceeded 10,000 vehicles. The order for the 2021 Tang released in August has also exceeded 10,000, and the order for Song PLUS listed in September exceeded 10,000 in the first month. It is expected that after the listing of Qin PLUS, the "Four Musketeers" will make concerted efforts, which will help BYD achieve new heights in the year-end market.

This year, although an epidemic has had a huge impact on the automobile industry, BYD is still moving forward at a steady pace. The launch of new technologies, new service standards and a number of heavy-duty models all highlight the achievements of BYD’s "brand forward and product upward".

Blade battery +DM-i super hybrid presents two core technologies in one year

Since its establishment, BYD has always been committed to the research and development of cutting-edge technologies, insisting on self-reliance and self-improvement of key core technologies. At present, all core components of the supply chain are self-produced and self-researched. This year, BYD made another major breakthrough in the field of technological innovation, presenting two core technologies, namely blade battery and DM-i super hybrid, to consumers within one year.

On March 29th, BYD released the blade battery. In the acupuncture test, the blade battery outperforms ternary lithium battery and Ferrous lithium phosphate block battery, which has an overwhelming advantage in safety, and will completely solve the safety pain point of "battery spontaneous combustion" that has plagued the industry for more than ten years.

As a core technology, "blade battery" will also be included in the sequence of global opening and sharing, and many automobile brands are discussing cooperation based on blade battery technology with BYD. In order to increase sales, BYD has decided to build eight new production lines in Foday Chongqing factory, which produces blade batteries, before the end of this year, so as to achieve the annual production capacity of more than 20GWh. At present, the production capacity of blade batteries has steadily increased, and the first China SUV equipped with blade batteries & mdash; — The 2021 Tang EV will also be delivered soon.

In November, BYD announced the groundbreaking DM-i super hybrid technology. DM-i’s brand-new power architecture and energy system will enable products equipped with this technology to fully surpass fuel vehicles in terms of economy, power and comfort. In mid-November, one of the core components of DM-i super hybrid technology — — Xiaoyun-plug-in special 1.5L high-efficiency engine was officially unveiled. The thermal efficiency of this engine is as high as 43%, which is the highest thermal efficiency of mass-produced gasoline engines in the world and has excellent NVH performance.

It is worth mentioning that BYD not only keeps innovating in the research and development technology of automobile products, but also tilts its focus to the sales end. At the Beijing Auto Show on September 26th, BYD officially issued the Service Convention, which put forward two propositions and four commitments — — First, advocate freedom of consumption, respect customers’ willingness to consume, and refuse to bundle sales; Second, advocate the purity of spare parts and follow the homologous production of spare parts and original car parts. At the same time, solemnly promise — — 1, integrity management, commitment to cash; 2, professional service, considerate; 3. Transparent price and free consumption; 4, delivery standards, worry-free car purchase.

"Service Convention" meets consumers’ demand for "high-performance products and high-quality services" for new energy vehicles with comprehensive upgraded service content and quality, and will also promote the overall service level of the industry, thus promoting the popularization of new energy vehicles.

"Smart luxury flagship SUV" Star Road Eta Ursae Majoris highlights listed

[Global Network Automobile Comprehensive Report] On February 21st, the "Smart and Light Luxury Flagship SUV" Star Road Eta Ursae Majoris was listed in the global highlight of Shanghai Bund E-sports International Cultural Center, which started the first shot of the high-end SUV market in China in 2023. There are six models of 400T TGDI two-wheel drive and 400T TGDI four-wheel drive in the new car, and the price range is 15.28-20.28 million yuan. Judging from the previous professional media evaluation, Starway Eta Ursae Majoris has the leapfrog strength to comprehensively benchmark the 400,000 joint venture luxury SUV. Combined with the people-friendly price and rich configuration level announced this time, it is believed that after listing, it will quickly set off a "luxury equal rights" movement in the 200,000-yuan SUV market, leading the Starway brand to establish a new pattern of independent high-end market.

What’s even more surprising is that on the basis of high-value purchasing power, the listed Star Road Eta Ursae Majoris has also brought six star enjoyment rights to users, effectively achieving "understanding what users think and pampering what users need":

  1. Hui Xingli: You can enjoy a discount of 10,000 yuan when you buy a car with a loan.
  2. Huanxingli: enjoy a subsidy of 10,000 yuan for replacement to the highest level.
  3. Provincial Star Gift: Free basic maintenance for the first owner for 3 years or 6 times (including the first insurance)
  4. Yuexingli: Free basic traffic for life (first car owner) and free entertainment traffic for 3 years (10G/ month).
  5. An Xingli: the first owner’s lifetime warranty for the whole vehicle
  6. Star ceremony: the first car owner’s life-long free road rescue

Yin Tongyue, Party Secretary and Chairman of Chery Holding Group, said at the press conference that "Starway is the crown jewel of Chery Group, and the global model Starway Eta Ursae Majoris is the representative work of Chery Group’s latest technical concept and latest user concept". Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris is not only the first strategic model in Xingtu brand 2.0 era, but also the first model of Chery Group’s "Eta Ursae Majoris 202.5 billion science and technology strategy", which is the best embodiment of the innovative spirit of "Technical Chery" in the new era. It is such a model born with its own star aura that has won professional recognition in the automobile industry. Since the blind booking was started on December 27th and the pre-sale was started on January 30th last year, Eta Ursae Majoris has received a high degree of attention-12,900 units were blindly ordered and 5,118 units were fixed. On the eve of listing, with the arrival of the existing cars of Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris, new cars have become the "hot cakes" of the local automobile market in the first-and second-tier important markets such as Chengdu, Wuhan, Guangzhou and Chongqing, and the hot market value continues to be full.

Judging from the market results of "hot before listing", the product positioning of Xingtu brand for Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris’s "400,000-class smart and light luxury flagship SUV" is not an armchair strategist, and the key lies in the precise product strategy of "breaking through the purchasing power of doubling the car price". Today, the automobile market in China is undergoing earth-shaking changes. Joint-venture luxury brands have shown signs of fatigue in terms of product change, market demand and user concept. China brand has started to rise strongly through independent innovation technology, and gradually mastered the discourse power and pricing power of the mainstream family car market. At present, there is an urgent need for a product that can show national pride and has the value of high-end cars in China, and Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris is such a model with a product value of 400,000, which is comparable to the joint venture luxury SUV brand.

Light up the "light" in users’ hearts and achieve the "light" of the national tide in the new era.

"Although the blind booking and pre-sale orders of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris have created a new speed, what is even more surprising is that we have also seen new changes in the portraits of brand users, and a large number of intellectual users and urban light and middle-class car buyers have emerged, which is also the target group of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris", shared by Huang Zhaogen, assistant general manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and general manager of EXEED Starway Marketing Center.

According to the data, there are 350 million light and middle-class cities in China that are becoming the backbone of consumption. They are well-educated and in the initial stage of their families and careers. They attach great importance to the comfort and quality of life, and self-pleasing consumption is their belief, and they are willing to spend more on hobbies and self-improvement. But at the same time, they are also rational consumers, who know how to be moderate in consumption and pursue a more rational brand. The gratifying market results of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris in the early stage undoubtedly fully verified the accurate positioning of Starway brand to the user population and its forward-looking insight into the future market.

"They are not only the real users of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris, but also the brand genes of Starway," said Huang Zhaogen. Users have always been the best product managers in Starway, in order to practice the brand promise of "understanding what users think and pampering what users need" on the spot. Up to now, Starway has set up user co-creation activities such as Starlight Club and Starlight Friends. Starting from Star Road Eta Ursae Majoris, Star Road will continue to make progress, and join hands with the vast number of users, partners, media, social elites and other industry representatives to create a new user ecosystem in Star Road Eta Ursae Majoris, deeply cultivate the middle-class user population, realize content co-creation, brand co-creation, and users and brands grow together.

At the event site, representatives from various industries, such as Zhang Zhijing, a senior jewelry designer, Qiu Yudong, president of What’s Worth Buying, Li Jing, a teacher from Peking University, and Qiu Yun, an entrepreneur, gathered together to talk about their vision, share their strong recognition of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris’s product strength comparable to that of 400,000-class joint venture luxury SUV, and ardent expectations of Starway brand as "the light of high-end domestic products", which once pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

400,000-level luxury value, for "enjoyment and better"

At the listing meeting, Dr. Gao Xinhua, Executive Deputy General Manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and President of Automotive Engineering Technology R&D Institute, once again emphasized the "gold content" of the products of Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris. He said, "Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris is a brand-new three-good SUV model of Chery Group with the best Chery system, better brand and better market segment". Behind Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris, three firsts were realized: the first product and birth of scientific research achievements in Eta Ursae Majoris 2025 laboratory. It is precisely because of the strong technical background of Chery Group that as a "leading generation" global product, Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris can perfectly match the life and spiritual taste of the urban light and middle class.

With its advanced, luxurious and technologically perceptive design language of "Aesthetics of Light", Starway Eta Ursae Majoris won the 2022 IDA International Design Gold Award in the United States, becoming the first fuel SUV of a local brand in China to win this award. On the front face, the borderless middle net of Star Window is matched with X-type starship daytime running lights on both sides, which makes the front face very avant-garde. The car side design subverts the inherent impression of the traditional SUV. With the maximum width-height ratio of 1.149, the design of the cockpit sliding roof and the spoiler of the fighter tail, it has created a fighting atmosphere and dynamic style that is as shocking as a sports car. The design of Xinghe taillight contains mystery, and it has an intelligent light system that can rhythm with the music played in the car. Coupled with the design of the star ring welcome lamp blanket with a full sense of ceremony, it creates a sense of honor and ceremony when getting on and off.

The length, width and height of the new car are 4781 mm *1920 mm *1671mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2815mm. The size of the leapfrog body gives all the staff a wide and comfortable seating space. In a spacious space, the NAPPA leather interstellar travel seat has a delicate texture and comfortable sitting feeling comparable to that of a high-end sofa. The front seat integrates functions such as ventilation/heating, electrically adjustable leg rest, headrest sound, etc., and the co-driver position is additionally provided with an electric foot rest and five modes of back pneumatic massage. The electric stepless adjustable backrest angle of 7 and independent fresh air system make every occupant find the most comfortable place to belong.

As the first model of "Lion Eco-2023", Starway Eta Ursae Majoris is an example of its peers in four dimensions: architecture, hardware, audio-visual and intelligent driving. With the support of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 smart chip+Xiongshi Zhiyun 5.0 gold combination, Starway Eta Ursae Majoris can easily realize operations such as quick start of the vehicle in 3 seconds, identification in 2 seconds, and continuous processing of more than 20 instructions in 30 seconds, and its ultra-fast computing and processing ability eliminates waiting. 24.6-inch curved screen design, brand-new HMI 5.0 UI visual interaction, super ID and Xunfei voice engine and other configurations bring more caring. The 50-inch imaging AR-HUD function further enhances the user’s driving experience. In terms of intelligent driving configuration, the new car will also be equipped with high-heat functions such as AVP autonomous parking service and NOC high-speed pilot intelligent driving.

The new flying fish super-sensing chassis with CDC electromagnetic suspension system, Soft Stop system, chassis hydraulic vibration isolation system, all-terrain technology system, all-scene intelligent four-wheel drive system, intelligent brake-by-wire system and other advanced functions as the core will bring the new car a "flying fish"-like free leap and elegant sliding posture in all road conditions and all-scene environment, and at the same time achieve the ultimate balance of comfort, control and safety in dynamic performance. The new car is equipped with a high-efficiency power system with a 2.0TGDI turbocharged engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. Among them, the 2.0TGDI turbocharged engine has won the title of "Top Ten Engines of China Heart", which can produce a super power output with a maximum power of 192kW and a maximum torque of 400N·m, and the fuel consumption under WLTC condition is 7.5L/100km.

The safety protection capability of Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris is also very eye-catching. The new car is built according to the global N-CAP five-star safety standard, equipped with 32 ADAS driving assistance functions, and the car body adopts the new cage-type energy-absorbing space capsule technology, accounting for 85% of the ultra-high-strength steel of the whole car, which can withstand the compression of the 10-ton car body. The unique design of "six energy-absorbing boxes and three-layer force transmission paths" can better absorb and distribute the impact and energy generated by the collision.

It is worth mentioning that the Star Road Eta Ursae Majoris, which is built with the highest five-star standard in the world, has been polished by three rigorous test standards: 1.37 million km+ ultra-long user simulation test, 260,000 km+ durability test and misuse test of 12 working conditions including pits, bumps, braking and squeezing in Eta Ursae Majoris Laboratory, and its reliability can be called the "king of volume" at the same level.

Born to the light, shining to the world, lighting up the next distance.

In 2022, in the extremely ups and downs of the market environment, Xingtu brand achieved a cumulative breakthrough of 100,000 users and a few independent high-end brands achieved positive growth. The annual sales volume increased by 37.6% year-on-year, demonstrating the promising "post-wave" potential and brand resilience. Standing at the starting point of the next 100,000 yuan, Starway Eta Ursae Majoris, a "star model", is bound to lead Starway to achieve brand breakthrough, user breakthrough and market breakthrough, lead Starway to a better future and contribute more brand added value to the global development of Chery Group.

Be steady and far-reaching, and then create an intelligent driving decision control system.

In recent years, driven by policies, technology, market demand and capital, the process of automobile intelligence has been further accelerated, and autonomous driving technology has also ushered in a new stage of development. IDC’s "China Self-driving Vehicle Market Data Tracking Report" shows that in the first quarter of 2022, the penetration rate of L2-class self-driving cars in the passenger car market reached 23.2%, and L2-class ADAS is the core of the commercial landing of self-driving cars at this stage.  

At present, overseas giants occupy a high market share. However, with the rapid increase of the penetration rate of ADAS, China automobile enterprises have a great opportunity to break the monopoly of overseas giants, and major automakers, suppliers, Internet companies and other enterprises have come to the end, hoping to compete for victory in the uncertain domestic market. Under the general trend of the rise of independent brands, with the advantages of localization, high cost performance, coordinated chassis control and timely service response, Lianchuang Automotive Electronic Intelligent Driving Team has grown steadily in a down-to-earth manner through cooperative development with OEMs such as SAIC, Jianghuai, Datong and Aichi, and polished the differentiated user experience to the extreme.

Figure 3 Lianchuang Automotive Electronics ADAS National Road Test Starts

Compared with the practice of "patching" a single problem by some enterprises, Lianchuang Zhijia starts from the root of the problem, thinks systematically, constantly upgrades the core algorithm framework and underlying architecture of each function, improves the performance of the real vehicle ADAS function under various complex working conditions, and calmly responds to various extreme scenarios. For example, multi-layer safety check is carried out on vehicles, sensor measurements and environmental signals to ensure the safety of vehicle functions when signals are abnormal, and the expected trajectory is generated by using structured road and traffic flow information to improve the robustness of lateral functions.

In order to solve the problems of large dead zone of EPS actuator, uncomfortable experience brought by high steering wheel speed in the dead zone, and braking stagnation and second start caused by abnormal drag of ESC actuator calipers, the intelligent driving team gave full play to the collaborative advantages of Lianchuang drive-by-wire chassis development team, introduced EPS lower control into intelligent driving upper control, and proposed a four-level closed-loop control algorithm, so that the lateral function can obtain a better control experience without demanding steering system. In order to optimize the driver’s comfort experience in cut-in scene, an adaptive adjustment strategy based on cut-in distance and time is proposed. In order to reduce the false triggering of AEB-related functions, the confidence level of AEB and FCW functions is judged in different scenarios by accessing the relevant security signals provided by the perception suppliers, thus improving the accuracy of AEB and FCW functions. There are countless similar technical optimizations. These measures have greatly improved the driving experience under the premise of ensuring safety, making safety and comfort a significant label for Lianchuang Intelligent Driving products. At the same time, the collaborative development and cooperation between the intelligent driving and the drive-by-wire chassis team in Lianchuang packaging scheme creates the effect of "1+1>2", providing customers with more safe and intelligent driving experiences.

Under the continuous optimization of Lianchuang Intelligent Driving Team, the performance of Lianchuang automotive electronic ADAS products is not inferior to that of Global Tier1. Among them, Lianchuang’s regulatory test results of AEB function of automotive electronics ranked first among various benchmark models, and reached a very low false trigger rate in daily public roads.             

Be steady and far-reaching, and then create an intelligent driving decision control system.

Huawei’s smart car solution has been upgraded in an all-round way, and the M5 Huawei advanced intelligent driving version was launched.

[TechWeb] On April 16th, on the eve of 2023 Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition, Huawei released Huawei ADS 2.0 (Huawei Advanced Driving System) and a series of smart car solutions such as smart cockpit, smart car lighting and smart car digital platform.

Yu Chengdong, Huawei’s managing director, terminal BG CEO and smart car solution BU CEO, announced at the press conference that Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving system HUAWEI ADS 2.0 will be launched in AITO’s M5 Huawei Advanced Intelligent Driving Edition, followed by Aouita 11 and Extreme Fox Alfa S?HI Edition, and more models will be carried in the future. With more models of HUAWEI ADS landing, more and more cars are running on the road, and the mileage is getting longer and longer. This system will become more and more sophisticated.

The advanced intelligent driving system built by Huawei, based on multi-sensor fusion, combined with high-performance intelligent driving platform and anthropomorphic intelligent driving algorithm, takes safety and intelligence as the core, and realizes the ultimate continuous experience for high-speed, urban and parking scenes. At the same time, based on ultra-large-scale cloud simulation and data mining training, data-driven, rapid iteration, traveling thousands of kilometers a day, making vehicles smarter and smarter.

Urban NCA can be opened with or without maps, and more cities are being unlocked.

Due to the complex road conditions, many unexpected situations and the rapid development of urban infrastructure in the city, the landing of NCA (Intelligent Pilot Assistance) in urban areas has become a difficult problem faced by many car companies. Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving system has been implemented in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Guangzhou, playing with the complex urban road conditions with the flexible decision-making and decisive disposal ability of "old drivers". In addition, Chongqing, which is known as the "8D Magic City", will soon unlock the NCA in the urban area, and Hangzhou will also land in Q2.

HUAWEI ADS 1.0 has realized the BEV architecture based on Transformer, while HUAWEI ADS 2.0 has been further upgraded, and the road topology-based reasoning network has been further enhanced. Even without high-precision maps, you can understand various road elements such as roads and traffic lights, making it possible to drive without maps. This year, Q3 will realize the landing of 15 cities without maps, and Q4 will add 30 cities without maps, reaching 45 cities, which will make smart driving more free.

The system can cover 90% of urban scenes, making daily commuting more comfortable. At complex intersections, scenes where people and vehicles are mixed can also pass smoothly, and you can take the initiative to overtake and change lanes, which greatly improves travel efficiency.

High-speed NCA (Intelligent Pilot Assistance) also performed well. The experience of HUAWEI ADS 2.0 was upgraded, and the ability to face up and down ramps, obstacle avoidance, road construction and other scenes was further improved at high speed, which made the average manual takeover mileage increase from 100km to 200km in HUAWEI ADS 1.0, realizing a "more assured" cross-city travel experience. When merging into the expressway, the system monitors and predicts the vehicle behavior of the surrounding target lanes in real time, and executes the best interaction strategy, which is fast and efficient, and the success rate of merging is high. When approaching the high-speed exit, the system changes to the exit lane in advance according to the surrounding comprehensive road conditions to avoid the embarrassment of "missing the exit" in unfamiliar environment.

On the high-speed and expressway, there are labyrinth overpasses and tray bridges. Before entering the curve, the system will slow down in advance. When passing through the curve with large curvature, the vehicle will remain centered and the steering wheel will be slippery, so there will be no frequent back-and-forth corrections, which will bring stable comfort to the drivers and passengers.

APA (Intelligent Parking Assist) has the industry-leading parking space identification ability, including automatic parking space search, 360 parking space discovery and parking space display. At the same time, it supports intelligent parking of up to 160 kinds of parking spaces, such as unconventional parking spaces such as sloping parking spaces and broken parking spaces, and can also be parked, so that it can be parked when it is really visible. After parking is interrupted, it can automatically connect. In case of pedestrians and obstacles, the car will not quit after parking, and the pedestrians will automatically connect after leaving.

RPA (Remote Parking Assist) solves the embarrassing scene of "cars can get in, people can’t get out" in narrow parking spaces, or it is inconvenient to take and put large luggage in the car and trunk, thus realizing worry-free parking.

Outbreaks, burning warships, dropping planes … This summer, the US military is really annoying!

  A collective COVID-19 infection broke out at the US military base in Okinawa, and the US Navy’s "Good Richard" amphibious assault ship burst into flames, and the US Air Force crashed an F-16C… …

  This summer, American troops deployed in many parts of the world have frequent accidents and troubles!

  Make people angry! Aggregative COVID-19 outbreak broke out at the US military base in Japan.

  Recently, a collective COVID-19 infection suddenly appeared in the US military base in Okinawa. Only from July 7th to 11th, there were 61 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. military base in Okinawa, and on the 13th, the U.S. military base in Okinawa notified 32 confirmed cases to the local area. On the 15th, the Okinawa prefectural government of Japan confirmed that there were 36 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in several local US military bases in Japan.

  A large number of confirmed cases appeared in a short period of time. Danny Yucheng, the governor of Okinawa Prefecture, was "shocked" and "extremely sorry" about the news, and said that he "had to have strong doubts about the epidemic prevention countermeasures".

  It is reported that more than half of the 50,000 US troops stationed in Japan and the United States are stationed in Okinawa, and they are not subject to Japanese Covid-19 inspection, and the US military’s epidemic prevention measures are not controlled by the Japanese side.

  It is even more reported that the US was initially reluctant to disclose information such as the number of confirmed cases of US troops stationed in Japan and the whereabouts of confirmed cases. Later, at the repeated request of the Japanese side, it had to publish relevant information.

  American soldiers who enjoy "special status" are "free to come and go" and "go their own way" in Okinawa. Some Okinawa residents said that during the epidemic, they were really worried when they saw American soldiers without masks on the street.

  For a long time, Okinawa residents have complained about the noise and pollution caused by the US military base, the crash of US military aircraft, and crimes committed by US military personnel. The outbreak of the cluster epidemic has intensified their dissatisfaction.

  Too bad! The US Navy’s "quasi-aircraft carrier" is in full swing

  Something happened to the US military base in Japan on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, and the US naval base on the east coast was not "peaceful".

  On July 12th, local time, the "Good Richard" of amphibious assault ship, moored at the naval base in San Diego, USA, exploded and burst into flames. For a time, the pungent smoke produced by the burning of plastics, cables and other materials floated all over the center of San Diego, and many sailors who escaped from the ship also lost all their property, "only a suit of clothes."

  On July 12, the naval base in San Diego, California, USA caught fire and emitted smoke. A fire broke out on the 12th in amphibious assault ship, a US military vessel moored at the San Diego Naval Base in California. Xinhua News Agency/Midland

  According to the US Navy, as of the afternoon of the 13th, 36 sailors and 23 civilians had been treated for high temperature burns and smoke inhalation.

  Good Richard is one of the American Navy’s wasp-class amphibious assault ship ships, with a displacement of over 40,000 tons. It has a spacious flight deck and hangar deck, which can accommodate helicopters, tilt-rotor aircraft and short-range take-off and landing aircraft, and is equivalent to a quasi-aircraft carrier.

  Although the name is very special, many people will not be unfamiliar with the ship. In the popular sci-fi movie Super Battleship a few years ago, people have experienced the elegance of this big ship.

  Before the fire, the ship was under medium-term maintenance, mainly upgrading the flight deck. After the upgrade, it will be able to carry at most 16 F-35B short takeoff/vertical landing fighters or 22 MV-22B Osprey transport planes.

  This fire, which lasted for dozens of hours, may make it difficult for this huge ship with a ship age of more than 20 years to regain its glory. Some analysts pointed out that although the damage degree of the ship is still unclear, the intensity of the fire is enough to deform the structural steel of the hull. Considering the damage degree, the ship will stop using for at least several years, and it is likely to be identified as completely scrapped. Once the ship is scrapped, it will be "the most serious safety accident of the US Navy in the past 20 years" with heavy losses.

  What a jam! The U.S. Air Force recently destroyed another plane.

  It rained all night, and the fire on the "Good Richard" has not been extinguished, and the Air Force has "added a wall" to the US military.

  On July 13th, local time, an F-16C fighter plane crashed at holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.

  Data Map: US Air Force F-16C Fighter

  However, this plane crash is not the only one this year. Since May, there have been many crashes in the US Air Force, including the tragedy of "the plane crashed and people died".

  On May 15th, an F-22 fighter plane of the US Air Force crashed near Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, and the pilot ejected to escape.

  On May 20th, Eglin Air Force Base confirmed that an F-35A fighter plane crashed while trying to land at the base on the evening of 19th, and the pilot also ejected to escape.

  On June 15th, an F-15C fighter plane crashed during a training mission at the US military base in Britain.

  On June 30, an F-16 fighter jet crashed while performing daily training tasks at Shaw Air Force Base in Southern California, USA. The pilot on board was taken to the hospital and was later declared brain dead.

  In less than two months, several "Hawk" aircraft with high cost and outstanding performance "lost their wings" in training, and the loss was not insignificant.

Twenty-four solar terms | beginning of autumn: The heat is unbearable, and the autumn in the meteorological sense has not yet arrived.

August 7th is the beginning of autumn in the 24 solar terms. Although the solar terms have the word "autumn", this year’s beginning of autumn has not brought the coolness of autumn. In most parts of the country, the high temperature is still scorching the earth. In the Yangtze River basin, Huaihe River basin and Yellow River basin controlled by subtropical high, the temperature can be called hot summer. The highest temperature in Shanghai will remain above 37 degrees in the coming week, and Nanjing, Wuhan and Chongqing, which are located inland, are pointing to 40 degrees.
"beginning of autumn is only an astronomical autumn, not a meteorological one." Cheng Peng, an assistant researcher at the Institute of Literature, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, said, "The fashion in beginning of autumn is in dog days, so it’s still a little hot. There is a folk saying that it is an autumn tiger. However, China has a vast territory. In many places in the north, it has been a little cold in the morning and evening after beginning of autumn, and most of the south is still in the heat. "
On August 6th, 2022, beginning of autumn is coming in Huai ‘an, Jiangsu, and the pomegranate trees in Lotus Park are covered with red fruits. Vision china diagram"It’s chilly in beginning of autumn early, and it’s hot in beginning of autumn late."The so-called "autumn in astronomical sense" was established by the ancients according to the observation of the law of the sun’s operation. The Almanac says, "The southwest dimension refers to beginning of autumn". When the Big Dipper refers to the southwest and the sun reaches 135 degrees, it is the time when the beginning of autumn solar term comes.
According to this astronomical standard, accurately speaking, this year’s beginning of autumn will officially arrive at 20: 29 on August 7th, Beijing time, which is already after dark.
"There is a proverb that says,’ It’s chilly in beginning of autumn in the morning, and it’s hot in beginning of autumn at night.’ This year in beginning of autumn, it’s after eight o’clock in the evening, so the summer heat will continue, and it will probably end before and after it comes out. Bi Xuling, director of the Folk Custom and Intangible Heritage Research Office of the Institute of Literature, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, has studied the 24 solar terms proverbs. She found that the ancient solar terms agricultural proverbs can still fit and predict the temperature, which is very scientific. "Because solar terms reflect the operation of the sun, the temperature is determined by the sun in the final analysis. After long-term observation, the ancients summed up this law, which proved to be very effective. If you analyze it with the knowledge of modern meteorology, you will find that the reasons are very complicated, such as the influence of subtropical high. "
The ancients called the hottest period of the year "dog days". "In fact, it is not hot after beginning of autumn, which is related to whether it is out." Bi Xuling mentioned that the time of "three volts" is also not fixed, ranging from 30 days to 40 days. "The initial and final volts are 10 days, and the time of two volts is not necessarily, sometimes 10 days, sometimes 20 days." The length of the second day depends on the date of the third Geng day after the summer solstice every year, and the third Geng day after the summer solstice falls into the sky. "So the solar terms are closely related to the dog days. By observing the weather of the solar terms in the dog days, the ancients summed up the law of predicting the length of the dog days." This year’s dog days will last for 40 days from July 16th to August 24th.
In fact, among the 24 solar terms, the solar term after beginning of autumn is the summer, and the summer, the light summer and the big summer are all solar terms representing high temperature. After the summer, the summer heat gradually subsided and the temperature began to fall.
What we usually call autumn is the autumn in the meteorological sense. There are strict meteorological standards: the average daily temperature is below 22℃ for five consecutive days, and the subsequent weather conditions are stable, then we will count the first day as autumn. By this standard, it will take time for the real autumn to come.
The ancient agricultural custom "basking in autumn" has entered the public’s field of vision.
Autumn is the harvest season, at the same time, the hot temperature has come to an end, and the customs in beginning of autumn are mostly around these two points.
"Corresponding to beginning of spring biting spring, beginning of autumn also has the custom of biting and gnawing autumn, which not only welcomes the arrival of autumn, but also has the effect of keeping healthy and preventing autumn dryness." Cheng Peng mentioned that beginning of autumn is the time limit for tasting some foods, and fruits and vegetables have a bumper harvest. People pay attention to "tasting autumn fresh".
In northern China, beginning of autumn’s "biting autumn" food is watermelon, commonly known as "biting melon". It is believed that eating watermelons in beginning of autumn can clear the gastrointestinal impurities in summer and avoid diarrhea in winter and next spring. This custom has a long history. In the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Tao’s "Tianjin Miscellanies Customs at the Age of Years" recorded: "When beginning of autumn eats melons, he bites autumn to avoid diarrhea."
Children are eating watermelon "gnawing autumn" to welcome the arrival of beginning of autumn. Vision china map corresponds to long summer, and beginning of autumn people also have the habit of weighing. If the weight is lighter than that of long summer, it is called "bitter summer". If you lose weight, you need to make up for it. Therefore, beginning of autumn has the custom of "sticking on autumn fat". In the northern region, beginning of autumn "sticks to autumn fat" to eat meat, while ordinary people eat stewed meat, while those who pay attention to it eat boiled meat, braised pork, jiaozi with minced meat, stewed chicken, stewed duck and so on.Fang Yun, a lecturer at the School of International Education of Shanghai University and a doctor of folklore, mentioned a beginning of autumn custom of "basking in the autumn" that has entered the public’s field of vision in recent years.
"Sunbathing in autumn is a typical agricultural custom phenomenon in beginning of autumn with strong regional characteristics. Villagers living in mountainous areas such as Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, Guangxi, etc., because of the complex terrain, there are very few flat areas in the village, so they have to use the roofs in front of the house and behind their own windowsills to rack and hang crops, which has evolved into a traditional agricultural custom phenomenon over time. "
Sunbathing in autumn in Wuyuan, Shangrao, Jiangxi. Vision china map is different from many disappearing solar terms customs. "Sunbathing in autumn" was only a common agricultural custom phenomenon in ancient times, but in recent years, the agricultural custom scene of "sunbathing in autumn" in mountain villages has become an autumn landscape that tourists deliberately chase and watch. In this way, Wuling, Wuyuan, Jiangxi, created the "Earthy Autumn Festival", which opened in Liqiu. This festival strengthens the protection and display of folk culture represented by sun-drying autumn through celebrations. It was selected into the list of typical cases of domestic tourism promotion in 2020, and it is also the top ten outstanding cases of "non-legacy and tourism integration" in 2019."The folk custom of sunbathing in autumn has the dual marks of landscape narrative and ritual narrative. In rural areas, the visible landscape of festival ceremony is relatively immobile, which can solidify the folk tradition and form a stable narrative identity, which is the premise of folk tourism. The famous’ Huangling Sunbathing in Autumn’ takes the local custom of Huangling as a ritual narrative way, and turns the static crop landscape into a performance of customs. When performers and tourists interact in the behavioral ceremony, tourists can experience and participate in the construction of rural landscape. " Fang Yun thinks. "Sunbathing in the Autumn Festival" comes into public view, which is a typical case of the folk custom of the twenty-four solar terms regaining its brilliance in the contemporary era. The ancient solar terms still have their unique charm and can connect with modern life.
