Scientists in China and the United States have created the most accurate map of the structure of the Milky Way to date

 

 
For a long time, we knew very little about the Milky Way, and we didn’t even know the exact location of the sun in the Milky Way. However, astronomers have recently used some observational data to create a new "map of the Milky Way" that will refresh our understanding of the Milky Way and the formation of galaxies. And with this map, we also know that the sun is almost exactly on the central plane of the Milky Way’s disk.
Hundreds of years ago, explorers made detailed maps across oceans and uncharted continents. Over the past half-century, human space probes have photographed much of the solar system. But while we know our own astronomical backyard, we don’t know enough about our cosmic community, the Milky Way. The reason is obvious. Just as "we don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, we can’t leave the Milky Way and look back at the panorama of the Milky Way."
Maybe you could dream that we would launch a spacecraft, take it out of our galaxy, and then go back and take a panoramic picture of the galaxy, but a spacecraft would only be able to do this after a journey of millions of years, which is obviously impractical. We still have a lot of unanswered questions about the galaxy, such as how many spiral arms the galaxy has, whether a large structure closest to the sun can be counted as a single spiral arm, and where our solar system is in the galaxy.
Recently, however, scientists are working to map the Milky Way from the inside out, so that for the first time, accurate maps of the Milky Way’s structure can be made. This promising future is the result of the collaborative efforts of several advanced radio and optical large telescope projects, including our Bar and Spiral Structure Legacy Survey of the Milky Way (BeSSeL). We have obtained an unprecedented 5,000 hours of observation time for the Very Long Baseline Array.
The preliminary results of our project provide a new picture of the Milky Way. In addition to better understanding the overall image of the Milky Way, we are also beginning to clarify why galaxies like the Milky Way exhibit spiral structures and how our galactic home is integrated with the entire universe.
Cosmic Neighborhood
In the early nineteenth century, William Parsons, the third Earl of Rousseau, built a 72-inch telescope – a "gigantic" telescope by the standards of the time. He observed and drew the M51 nebula (which we now call the Whirlpool Galaxy) with a distinct swirling arm pattern. However, without knowing how far M51 is or the scale of the Milky Way, it is not clear whether the vortex galaxy is a small structure in our Milky Way or a galaxy similar to the Milky Way.
Debate about these issues continued until the early twentieth century. It was not until the American scientist Edwin Hubble used techniques developed by Henrietta Leavitt to measure our distances to some bright stars that we learned that spiral galaxies and other spiral nebulae are outside the Milky Way and similar to the Milky Way. This discovery overturned the idea that the Milky Way is the entire universe.
By measuring the movement of gas throughout the Milky Way disk, the pancake-shaped region that makes up the main body of the Milky Way, astronomers have discovered that we actually live in a spiral galaxy. The main common types of galaxies include spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies. The Milky Way, seen from a distance, may resemble the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 1300 and the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101). At the center of NGC 1300 is a bright, elongated structure that astronomers call the bar structure of the galaxy. Two blue spiral arms extend from both ends of the bar structure and gradually extend outward around the central bar.
Most spiral galaxies have bar structures, which are generally thought to have formed as a result of the attractive force instability of the galaxy’s dense disk. The central bar structure then rotates, creating a stirring effect that in turn may promote the formation of spiral arms (other processes, such as attractive force instability caused by massive clumps in the disk or attractive force disturbances in nearby galaxies, may also contribute to the formation of spiral arms). Spiral arms are easier to see in the blue light band, because spiral arms are huge star-forming star-producing houses that are more prone to emitting blue light. The Pinwheel Galaxy M101 is another galaxy that may resemble the Milky Way. Although the Pinwheel Galaxy does not have the central bar of NGC 1300, it has more spiral arms.
Astronomers have long believed that the Milky Way may have the characteristics of two galaxies, NGC 1300 and M101: a distinct long bar structure like NGC 1300, and multiple spiral arms like M101. But beyond these basic conclusions, there is still much controversy. For example, infrared observations by the Spitzer space telescope more than a decade ago suggested that the Milky Way may have only two main spiral arms. And radio-band observations of atomic hydrogen and carbon monoxide suggest that the Milky Way has four spiral arms. In extragalactic galaxies, the gas is concentrated in the spiral arms. In addition to the spiral arm feature, astronomers are also debating how far the sun is from the center of the galaxy, and what the sun’s vertical height is relative to the galactic midplane, the plane of the center of the disk.
About 70 years ago, scientists calculated the distance from some bright blue stars nearby. If these stars were marked on a map of the Milky Way, they would be part of three adjacent spiral arms. We call these three spiral arms the centaur arm, the local arm, and the Perseus arm. Around the same time, beginning in the 1950s, radio astronomers observed atomic hydrogen gas, which emits a characteristic radio signal with a wavelength of 21 centimeters. As this atomic hydrogen gas moves relative to the earth, its characteristic radio frequency is shifted by the Doppler effect, allowing astronomers to use the frequency shift to measure the speed of the gas’s movement and then map its location in the Milky Way.
Using this measurement method, astronomers adopted a sun-centered coordinate system: similar to the longitude and latitude of a globe, the Milky Way longitude (l) is zero in the direction toward the galactic center and increases clockwise within the galactic "equatorial" plane (the Milky Way is seen from the northern celestial sphere); the galactic latitude (b) represents the angle perpendicular to the plane of the galactic disk. The 21-centimeter characteristic radio signal of the hydrogen atom gas shows a continuous structure in the galactic longitude-velocity diagram, which most likely traced the galactic spiral arm structure. Later plots of the galactic longitude-velocity of carbon monoxide molecular gases also exhibited similar characteristics. However, this indirect mapping method may be ambiguous and not accurate enough to clearly show the spiral arm structure of the Milky Way.
A New Horizon
One reason we know so little about the structure of the Milky Way is that there is a lot of dust in the Milky Way. Dust absorbs visible light so efficiently that it obscures our view in most line-of-sight directions, preventing us from seeing very far. Another reason is that the size of the Milky Way is staggering: light from stars on the other side of the Milky Way takes more than 50,000 years to reach Earth. Such a distance makes it difficult to even tell which stars are close to us and which are far away.
Now, new optical telescopes operating in space, as well as new radio telescopes around the world, could allow us to better answer all kinds of questions about the Milky Way. The Gaia mission, launched in 2013 to measure the precise distances of nearly a billion stars in the Milky Way, will no doubt revolutionize our understanding of the different populations of stars that formed our galaxy. But because Gaia observes in the visible light band, which is easily absorbed and scattered by interstellar dust particles, Gaia may be affected by interstellar dust when observing very distant spiral arms. On the contrary, because radio waves easily pass through dust, radio telescopes can probe the entire disk, allowing us to use observations from such telescopes to map the overall structure of the disk.
At present, the two main observational projects to map the structure of the Milky Way are using the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) technique in radio astronomy. The VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) project in Japan uses four radio telescopes, ranging from northern Japan (Mizusawa, Iwate Prefecture) to the southernmost Okinawa Islands of Ishigaki and the easternmost Ogasawara Islands, across Japan. The Very Long Baseline Array used by our BeSSeL sky survey program includes 10 telescopes, ranging from Hawaii to New England to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, across most of the Western Hemisphere.
Because the distance between the telescopes that make up the Very Long Baseline Array is nearly the same as the diameter of the Earth, the array can achieve angular resolution that far exceeds that of any other telescope at any wavelength. The researchers must observe simultaneously with all the telescopes in the array, and use the world’s best atomic clocks to synchronize the data recorded by computers at each site. They then transport the recorded data to a dedicated computer, which processes the signals collected by each telescope. If our eyes are sensitive to radio waves, the calibrated image is an ultra-high definition digital image that we can see at radio wavelengths that is parsed by almost the entire width of the Earth.
Such images have incredible angular resolution (better than 0.001 arc seconds: if the entire celestial sphere is divided into 360 degrees, then 1 arc second is 1/3600 of a degree). By contrast, the human eye can only resolve structures for about 40 arc seconds at most, and even the Hubble Space Telescope can only achieve a resolution of about 0.04 arc seconds.
Using the VLBI, we can measure the position of a bright star in radio waves relative to a background quasar (which is actually a bright, active black hole at the center of a distant galaxy) with an accuracy of close to 0.00001 arcseconds. In this way, we can measure very far distances by measuring the triangular parallax effect. The triangular parallax effect is that when viewed from different positions, nearby celestial objects appear correspondingly in different positions in the background starry sky. You can extend your arms forward, raise your thumb, and simulate this effect by alternately closing your left and right eyes to observe the thumb. Because our eyes are a few centimeters apart, when we alternately observe the thumb at an arm’s length with our left and right eyes, the thumb will be offset by about 6 degrees relative to the distant background object. If we know the distance between the two observation positions, and the angular displacement observed, we can easily calculate our distance from the observation target. This is the same principle that surveyors use to map cities.
Ideally, astronomers who want to map the structure of spiral arms should observe young, massive stars. These short-lived stars are usually associated with violent star formation in spiral arms, and such stars are so hot that they can ionize the surrounding gas, causing it to emit blue light. Therefore, in theory, these stars can serve as beacons for observing the spiral arms of galaxies in the visible light range.
But because these stars are surrounded by the Milky Way’s dust disk, we cannot easily observe them throughout the Milky Way. Fortunately, water and methanol molecules outside the ionized regions of these hot stars can serve as very bright radio sources, because they emit large amounts of natural "masers" that are barely attenuated by galactic dust. The term maser is an acronym for "microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation," which means that a maser is actually a laser in the radio band. In an astrophysical setting, maser radiation comes from a solar system-scale gas cloud of mass comparable to that of Jupiter. Maser sources appear as very bright point sources in radio images. Therefore, the maser source is an ideal target for triangulation parallax measurement.
A new picture of the Milky Way
Using the BeSSeL and VERA projects, astronomers have used triangulation parallax to measure the distances of about 200 young, hot stars. The data spans the Milky Way, covering about a third of the galaxy and revealing four very long spiral arms.
The resulting "map of the Milky Way" also shows that the Sun is very close to the Milky Way’s fifth spiral arm, which appears to be an isolated spiral arm known as the "local arm". Previously, this section of the spiral arm was called the "Orion Arm Spine" or "Local Arm Spine", that is, this spiral arm resembles a small accessory structure extending from the main spiral arms of other galaxies. However, the interpretation of this "arm spur" may be wrong. In our BeSSeL data, this spiral arm is isolated, orbiting the Milky Way less than a quarter of a turn. Although the local arm is shorter in length, in this arm the star formation rate can be comparable to that of the Perseus Arm of the same length. Interestingly, astronomers once thought of the Perseus Arm as one of the Milky Way’s two main spiral arms (the other being the shield-centaur arm). However, we found that the star formation rate decreased significantly as the Perseus Arm moved away from the Sun and towards the Milky Way. This suggests that the Perseus Arm does not appear to be a very obvious spiral arm to outside observers.
By mapping the three-dimensional positions of a large number of young stars and measuring and modeling their velocities, we can calculate the basic parameters of the Milky Way. We found that the distance from the sun to the center of the Milky Way is 8150 ± 150 parsecs (or 26,600 light-years). This is smaller than the 8500 parsecs recommended by the International Astronomical Union a few decades ago. In addition, we found that the Milky Way rotates at 236 km/s at the position of the sun, which is about 8 times the speed of the earth’s rotation around the sun. Based on these parameter values, we found that it takes about 212 million years for the sun to rotate around the Milky Way. This also means that the last time our solar system was where the Milky Way is now, dinosaurs were still roaming the earth.
The Milky Way’s inner disk, which lies within the sun’s position, is so thin that it is almost a flat plane. But the sun’s vertical height relative to this plane has been controversial. Recently, some astronomers have measured that the sun is 25 parsecs (82 light-years) above the inner disk, but our measurements differ significantly from this estimate. By fitting the plane in which massive stars with precise distances and positions are located, we can determine that the sun is only about 6 parsecs (20 light-years) above the plane. This height is only 0.07% of the distance from the sun to the center of the galaxy, which means that the sun is very close to the mid-plane of the galaxy. We also confirmed the previously observed galactic warping, in which the outer disk of the Milky Way gradually deviates from the inner disk and begins to curve upward on the north side and downward on the south side, somewhat like a curved potato chip.
In order to describe observations, astronomers usually divide the Milky Way into four solar-centered quadrants. Using this coordinate, we found spiral arms in the first three quadrants. To map the fourth quadrant, we need observation equipment located in the southern hemisphere. We are conducting a southern hemisphere observation project and plan to use telescopes in Australia and New Zealand to make observations.
While we await these observations, we can use observations from atomic hydrogen and carbon monoxide to extrapolate the known spiral arms to the fourth quadrant. The structures revealed by these observations are consistent with previous theoretical conjectures of the Norma-Outer, Shield-Centaur, Sagittarius-Carina, and Perseus arms. It should be noted, however, that we have only made one observation of the star-forming region far from the center of the Milky Way. The distance of this region we observed, combined with its position in the galactic meridian-velocity map of carbon monoxide, gives us some confidence in how to "map" the spiral arms at the other end of the galaxy.
However, we need more observations to validate our model. We now have a clearer picture of our galactic home. We may live in a four-arm spiral galaxy with a bright and symmetrical central bar. Our sun is almost entirely in the mid-plane of the Milky Way disk, but the sun is far from the center of the galaxy, about two-thirds of the galactic radius. In addition to the spiral arms that can circle the galaxy almost once, the galaxy has at least one additional spiral arm segment (the local arm), and each major spiral arm may have many forks. These spiral arm features make our galaxy appear fairly normal, but certainly not typical. About two-thirds of spiral galaxies have a central bar structure, so the Milky Way belongs to the bar spiral galaxy that makes up the vast majority of spiral galaxies. However, the Milky Way has four clear, well-defined, and fairly symmetrical arms, which makes the Milky Way unique because most spiral galaxies have far fewer arms and are relatively messy.
More mysteries
Although we have some new answers, there are still many important unanswered questions. Astronomers are still debating how the spiral arms arose. There are two competing theories on the issue. One theory holds that attractive force instability at the galactic scale creates a persistent spiral arm pattern of density waves. Another theory holds that some spiral arm fragments will be stretched over time due to instability at small scales, magnified, and then connected to form longer spiral arms. In the former theory, the spiral arms can last for billions of years, while in the latter theory, although the life of the spiral arms is short, the new spiral arms will appear multiple times throughout the evolutionary history of the galaxy.
Since the Milky Way does not have a clear date of birth, it is difficult to determine its exact age. The current popular view is that as many smaller protogalaxies that formed first in the history of the universe collided and merged, they gradually merged to form what is now the Milky Way.
The Milky Way was already a large galaxy about 5 billion years ago, but at that time it may have looked very different than it does now, because the merging process is likely to break up any existing spiral structure.
We need more observations to improve our existing picture of the structure of the Milky Way, and the next generation of VLBI-enabled radio telescope arrays will facilitate this. Such arrays in the pipeline include the Square Kilometer Array in Africa and the Next Generation Very Large Array in North America. Both are giant radio telescope arrays spanning an entire continent, and they are expected to be fully operational by the late 2020s. They will have a much larger signal-gathering area than existing arrays, and will therefore be able to detect faint radio emissions from stars, allowing us to see farther in the Milky Way. Ultimately, we hope to clearly map the building structure of the Milky Way Home to confirm or disprove the theory of the formation of the Milky Way’s magnificent spiral arm structure.

Increase the distribution of takeaway smart cabinets, expand contactless delivery services, and increase the supply of materials in key areas in Guangzhou

  Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, at present, the medium and high-risk areas in Guangzhou, Guangdong are under closed management, and all personnel can only enter and exit. During this time, Guangzhou has further increased the supply of materials to these closed key areas to meet the daily needs of residents.

  On the 11th, dozens of trucks loaded with high-quality agricultural products departed from Qingyuan and headed for Guangzhou. These goods, covering more than 10 kinds of high-quality agricultural products such as zongzi, Qingyuan chicken and eggs, were delivered to Liwan District, Yuexiu District and other places in Guangzhou.

  Li Chunni, head of Qingyuan Agricultural Enterprise:The chickens go directly from the chicken coop to the slaughterhouse within 1 hour by special car. The products are operated in strict accordance with standards, and the vehicles and outer packaging are strictly disinfected before leaving the warehouse, and the whole process is cold chain. We will donate 2,000 Qingyuan chickens and 36,000 newborn eggs to express our concern. The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching. I would like to say to the staff working on the front line that you have worked hard.

  In addition, in order to ensure the living needs of residents in closed areas, the Guangzhou Municipal Department of Commerce has also launched online and offline supply guarantee enterprises to increase the organization of supply sources and increase the number and types of material supply points. For medium-risk areas, the number of material supply points set up within the community has also increased from the first dozen to 127, making it convenient for residents to purchase.

  Residents of the closed area:This is chicken, vegetables and eggs. You can eat whatever you want. The chicken thighs should be done at night.

  At the same time, the Guangzhou Municipal Department of Commerce has increased the distribution of takeaway smart cabinets offline, expanded contactless distribution services, and ensured the category of materials. On the basis of eight main and by-staple foods such as grain, oil, rice, noodles, meat, poultry, eggs and milk, it has gradually increased the supply of more than 30 varieties of food ingredients such as fruits, cured flavors, biscuits, canned food, and seasonings. In particular, it has increased the supply of food such as rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival to enrich residents’ tables.

  Lin Guoqiang, Deputy Director of Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce:Now the entire supply has been guaranteed from the very beginning, and gradually through the supply of platforms and the guarantee of offline enterprises, the diversity of residents’ lives has been realized. This includes the supply of our ingredients, the supply of food, and the supply of general daily necessities, which are also gradually being carried out.

After the listing of Galaxy E8, Geely’s share price fell by more than 3%: Geely New Energy is transforming in the "internal volume"

  January 5,The first pure electric model of the Galaxy series, the E8, was launched.

  The listing of the new model did not stimulate the sluggish share price. On January 8, the share price fell 3.44% to close at 8.13 Hong Kong dollars per share.

  Previously, Geely Automobile had announced sales for 2023Geely Automobile (including Geely, Lynk & Co,Ruilan brand) annual cumulative sales of 1.6865 million vehicles, an increase of about 18%. Among them,Car sales were 487,500, an increase of about 48% year-on-year. Cars accounted for 28.9% of Geely Automobile’s total sales in 2023. Although the proportion of model sales has increased, it is still slightly lower than the penetration rate of new energy passenger vehicles in the entire car market.

  Previously, Geely Automobile had ranked first in sales of its own brands in China for many consecutive years, but its sales in 2022 wereBeyond that, the gap between 2023 and 2023 has been further widened. In addition, Geely Automobile has also been surpassed by Chery, which has soared in overseas sales. In 2023, sales fell to the third place of autonomous passenger car companies.

  The transformation of new energy vehicles has affected Geely’s ranking among its own brands.

  Although Geely is the first domestic automaker to carry out new energy transformation, it first released the Blue Geely Action Plan in 2015, but the plan ended in failure. Subsequently, Geely released the Blue Geely Action Plan for the second time in 2021.

  In 2023, Geely launched the new energy brand series Galaxy, and successively released two plug-in hybrid models, the L7 and L6. The Galaxy E8 is Geely Galaxy’s first pure electric model and has high hopes.

  As a new starting point for Geely’s new energy transformation, the market performance of the Galaxy series also tests the quality of Geely’s new energy transformation. After many failures in the pure electric market, Geely Galaxy E8 is a key product for Geely’s new energy transformation. Once this model does not achieve the expected market effect, Geely may once again fall into a passive position in the competition with competitors in the pure electric market.

  "Price War"

  Geely Galaxy E8, positioned as a medium and large pure electric car, has an official guide price of 175,800 yuan.

  From the perspective of product level and price range, Geely Galaxy E8’s main competitors include BYD Han EV, 007, etc. Another possible potential competitor is the upcoming Xiaomi SU7, which Geely hopes to enter the mainstream pure electric market.

  fromLooking at it, Geely Galaxy E8 hopes to challenge the current best-selling self-branded model in this segment, the BYD Han EV, with a lower price. The Galaxy E8 configuration is not low, but the official price is lower than the Han EV that has been on the market for more than three years.

  In the pure electric market, Geely has no pricing power yet. Facing BYD, which has higher consumer awareness, fighting a price war is the key for Geely to get a certain share of the market.

  Although the price of the Galaxy E8 is not expensive in terms of other competitors in the same level of market, as far as the Geely brand is concerned, the starting price of a car close to 200,000 yuan is a height that Geely has never approached in the era of fuel vehicles.

  In the era of fuel vehicles, Geely’s core market is 100,000 yuan-level low-end models.

  However, due toThe cost is high, the same level, the current price of electric vehicles is still higher than the fuel vehicle, Geely brand, can support the price of nearly 200,000 yuan, Geely has to face the challenge.

  Of course, it should be pointed out that behind the "price war" of car companies is a "cost war", especially for the mainstream market, whoever has a cost advantage means who has more room to reduce prices.

  At present, BYD’s core advantage is the cost-sharing ability brought by the larger market size. Geely’s main advantage is the platform advantage. The Galaxy E8 is built on the vast architecture, which can take advantage of the synergy effect behind Geely to reduce costs.

  However, overall, Geely’s current situation in the pure electric vehicle market remains relatively passive.

  Due to the large base of the fuel vehicle market, Geely cannot throw away the burden and embrace the transformation like BYD, but needs to grasp the base of the transformation more steadily and keep its share. Therefore, Geely needs to maintain a long-term approach.

  However, in the face of intensified market competition and competitors’ marketing strategies, Geely also emphasized the differences with its competitors on several occasions at the press conference, emphasizing the value it brings.

  On the same day, at the press conference, Gan Jiayue, CEO of Geely Automobile Group, said that building a car without common sense would not be successful, and it would be unsustainable to build a car without longevity.

  "Although many trams are getting more and more expensive, the showmanship of dancing and turning around doesn’t really bring high value to users," Mr. Gan said.

  Previously, the models that focused on promoting the "tank turn-around" function included BYD Looking Up U8 and 001 FR. Among them, Looking Up is the positioning million-level superThere is no direct competition between the brand and the Geely brand.

  However, Geely Galaxy’s new energy transformation is not easy, and there is still no Geely Galaxy that can be called a hitType.

  The Galaxy brand entered the market last year. After the delivery of the Galaxy L7, although the sales volume in the first three months continued to grow and quickly exceeded 10,000 units, after digesting the previous orders, the Galaxy L7 has fallen below the monthly sales threshold of 10,000 units since October last year, and there has been a continuous decline, and the product competitiveness is slightly insufficient.

  Compared with BYD’s plug-in hybrid models of the same level, there is still a certain gap between the Galaxy L7 and L6, and the Galaxy E8 is equally difficult to shake up BYD.

  "Involution"

  From price to product, Geely has made no secret of its attitude of "rolling" with competitors.

  Although the main purpose of the Geely Galaxy E8 is to increase its sales in the pure electric market, the launch of the E8 will inevitably bring internal competition.

  In the Geely Automobile map, Geely, Lynk & Co, and Extreme Krypton all have corresponding pure electric products, plus smart, Polaris, Volvo, Extreme and other brands that are also owned by Geely Holding Group. "Having more children is easy to fight" is an important strategy for Geely’s market competition.

  However, too many brands and disorganized play will also bring "involution".

  In the product matrix previously planned by Geely Automobile, the polar krypton brand focuses on the market of more than 300,000 yuan, the main product of the Lynk brand is 200,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan, the main product of Geely Galaxy is 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan, and Geely Geometry is facing the lower price market.

  However, the successive releases of Krypton 007 and E8 are obviously a departure from Geely’s previous seemingly clear plan.

  The two cars are based on the vast architecture, positioning level is quite close, Galaxy E8 although the body is longer, but the wheelbase is shorter than the polar krypton 007. The price of Galaxy E8 is 175,800 – 228,800 yuan, the price of polar krypton 007 is 209,900 yuan – 299,900 yuan, the two prices have overlapped.

  Geely claimed that Krypton was a brand, and the brand positioning between it and Geely Galaxy was different, and the target segments were also different. However, the product pricing that was being lowered to fight a price war was blurring the differences between the two brands. Moreover, the Lynk & Co brand also planned to launch pure electric products in the future, and the future positioning would also be very embarrassing.

  Specifically, the Galaxy E8 launched two battery life versions of 550km and 665km, both of which use iron phosphateThe battery brands areAnd Quzhou Polar. And Polar Krypton 007 uses the rear-drive version of Quzhou Polar Iron Phosphate with a battery life of 688km, usingThe range of the Kirin version is 870km.

  In addition, the entire range of Krypton 007 supports 800V architecture, while the E8 only supports 800V at the top, and the rest of the models are 400V. In terms of suspension, smart driving, and other configurations, the cost of Krypton 007 is higher than that of the E8.

  From a certain perspective, the Galaxy E8 is more like a low-end version of "Extreme Krypton".

  Although the positioning of the two cars is slightly different, the price difference between the two is not significant, and the target audience also partially overlaps.

  However, whether for Geely Galaxy or Krypton, the Galaxy E8 and Krypton 007 are rather crucial products.

  The Galaxy E8 is the first pure electric model of the Galaxy series, which will set the tone for Galaxy in the market competition. And the Krypton 007 is the key model for the Krypton brand to enter the mainstream market. Who can win or lose both? The market will give the answer.

Ele.me report: Post-00s college students work part-time to deliver food, mainly because they experience life

  The school season of major colleges and universities across the country is approaching, and Ele.me has released the "2019 College Student Takeaway Rider Group Insights" report (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"). It is understood that a total of 9,896 college students from all over the country joined Ele.me Hummingbird in the summer of 2019 to become part-time riders. Nearly 5 of them became sophomores and juniors, and more than 300 will start their graduate careers after the school starts.

  The report shows that compared with "earning living expenses", "experiencing life" has become the main motivation for college students to choose to be takeaway riders. Nearly 40% of post-95s and 00s feel that their personality has changed after the experience, and they have learned to "communicate modestly" and "treat people gently". At the same time, nearly 20% of college students choose to go to a strange city and travel while delivering takeout.

  The Ele.me report shows that 38% of college student riders said that choosing to work part-time as a takeaway rider in the summer is to experience life, and it is also a social practice. Many young people also expressed the hope to change their personality, contact more people, and discover unknown corners of the city by doing takeaway riders. Second, it is to subsidize living expenses, save money to buy things they like, or gain financial independence earlier.

  According to the Ele.me report, 83% of college student riders said they were satisfied with "the income brought to me by being a rider." Among them, the monthly living expenses of more than 80% of part-time college students have increased to more than 2,000 yuan, the average monthly income has increased by 2 times, and many college student riders have a monthly income of nearly 10,000 yuan.

  Outside of income, the biggest change most college students feel is their personality. Lin, a junior at Nanjing Agricultural University, recalls that the biggest change this experience brought to him was: "Know how to talk to others, know how to be gentle with others." These adults, who are rebellious in the eyes of 95s and 00s, learned how to communicate modestly and treat others gently by being a rider.

  The short-term experience as a rider has changed the college students’ perspective on the takeaway industry. They have truly felt the value and change that the emerging industry has brought to merchants, users, and individual riders. Three quarters of them are very optimistic about the future of the takeaway industry.

  The Ele.me report shows that more than half of college riders are still looking forward to choosing a career according to their major, but 10% plan to still work as a rider or food delivery service in the future. At the same time, they are also very much looking forward to inner improvement and growth through practical experience and their own strengths.

The strongest domestic pickup truck is coming! The new species of Great Wall Gun 6X6 has 3 axes, 6 drives and 5 locks.

At first, we should know about the 6X6 model through Mercedes-Benz G-Class 6X6 model, Land Rover Defender, Ford’s modified model, and pickup trucks such as outdoor extreme crossing and polar scientific research. However, this part of the domestic market is still blank, and it is difficult for you to see 6X6 models on the road; First, it is difficult to import into China because the size and emissions are not in compliance; In addition, the premium is too high and the C certificate cannot be opened.

This time, Great Wall Motor revealed the information of the first 6X6 super off-road platform in China for the first time, and prepared to bring real mass production to domestic consumers, with a blue brand and a more extreme off-road version of 6X6 new species, in order to give back to the expectations of more pickup truck lovers and off-road enthusiasts.

The 6X6 super off-road platform will realize the layout of "3-axis and 6-drive", and its biggest attraction is undoubtedly the technical aspect. Specifically:3-axisThat is to say, the overall wheelbase of the Great Wall Gun 6X6 model is 4288mm, creating a magnificent and powerful body with a length of nearly 6 meters and a width of 2.1 meters; Under the working conditions of cross-country axle and shell pit, the traction ability and roll control of 6×6 are greatly improved, the body swing amplitude is smaller and the stability is higher than that of four-wheel drive models; The three axes are mutually restrained, and snow, sand, mud and other road conditions are prone to sideslip, and the sideslip forces are mutually offset or reduced, so that the anti-sideslip ability and passing safety of the whole vehicle are greatly improved.

6 drive:The 6-wheel grounding area is increased by 50%, the powerful power is fully exerted, the traction coefficient of the whole vehicle is increased by 15-30%, and the vertical obstacle-crossing ability is greatly improved; Under the same conditions, the tire depression depth is reduced by 29%; The release of power enables the acceleration performance of the whole vehicle to be exerted, and the acceleration time of the whole vehicle is only 7.5 s; Sufficient power, larger ground contact area, smaller tire load and better stability control enable the 6×6 to cope with all-terrain road conditions calmly.

5 locks:The Great Wall Gun 6X6 model is equipped with Borg Warner TOD+Mlock intelligent transfer case, which can bear 1900N·m super torque. Standard rear axle differential lock, middle axle differential lock, middle and rear axle differential lock, transfer center differential lock and front axle differential lock, a total of 5 electronically controlled differential locks; 4 hauthoh mode can be switched freely through the mode knob. Four differential lock buttons and 6L buttons on the front and rear axles are independently arranged in the key area of the auxiliary instrument panel, so as to realize the most convenient operation for drivers. The random combination of multiple locks and the setting of expert mode provide great off-road fun for drivers and passengers, and the ability to get rid of difficulties is fully extended. He is a smart tough guy with off-road real kung fu and is not afraid of rough and bad road conditions.

In addition, the vehicle adopts a non-load-bearing frame with high torsional rigidity, which is matched with the front double wishbone independent suspension+middle/rear five-bar independent suspension and 33-inch oversized off-road tires to create a full-scene, all-terrain super off-road capability.

At the same time, the 6X6 super off-road platform can also be equipped with the Great Wall 3.0T super hybrid, electric, hydrogen and other super power. At the beginning of the design, the Great Wall Gun 6X6 super off-road platform can also perfectly match the pickup truck and SUV body, simultaneously develop the second-class chassis, expand multi-functional special-purpose vehicles and recreational vehicles, and realize the super-expansion of the whole ecology and create a new category of diversified vehicles. In addition, the first co-created model of Great Wall Gun 6×6 will control the body length within 6 meters, mainly considering the influence of N1 and N2 models, and meeting the needs of users for blue and green brands.

Powered by electricity, the hybrid version of Shanhai gun provides the optimal solution of new energy pickup truck.

Yu Jinsheng, CTO of Great Wall Gun brand, also revealed that the first step of new energy pickup will not be pure electric, but hybrid as the solution of new energy pickup at this stage. The Great Wall Gun will also adopt the strategy of energizing fuel with electricity, and build the first large-scale high-performance hybrid pickup truck in China based on the off-road super hybrid architecture, namely, the Shanhai Gun Long Life PHEV and the HEV model, so as to meet the demand of pickup truck users for "clean energy and high performance".

Thanks to the blessing of the off-road super hybrid architecture, the battery life PHEV of Shanhai artillery has three advantages: "parallel mode of engine and motor, highly intelligent energy management and safer all-terrain adaptability", which makes the PHEV of Shanhai artillery fast, clean and intelligent, and is suitable for some users with longer distance and lower frequency. The Shanhai cannon HEV will also be equipped with a 2.0T engine and a 9HAT transmission, with a comprehensive power of 255kW and a comprehensive torque of 648N·m, giving users a double experience of "better fuel consumption than diesel and comparable to 3.0T gasoline power". In urban and off-road scenes, it has unimaginable energy-saving performance and driving pleasure, stronger motivation to get out of trouble and longer cruising range.
