Whether in the West or the East, the Nokia 1110, which is hard enough to be destroyed, will always be the ultimate fantasy of contemporary young people for the perfect weapon. I don't think it's surprising that this guy is in Dr. 007 Q's treasure chest.
So the question is, the world's sharpest "spear" Nokia, indestructible, the world's strongest "shield" Volvo, indestructible, when Nokia crashed into Volvo, what will happen?
For me, Nokia is an artifact that can keep itself intact no matter how it is destroyed, and even after assembly, it can still be used normally. Around 2005, I once owned a Nokia 1110, a car 60 over the bend, the co-pilot of me opened the car window, the mobile phone was accidentally thrown out, the main body on the road, the battery and the back cover are dropped on the side of the road ditch, the absolute is the machine is assembled, can also be used normally, the scratch marks of the fuselage are very slight.
In addition to me, there are more good people who have thrown the Nokia 1110 into liquid nitrogen to soak, smashed 50 kilograms of kettlebells on the second floor, loaded non-Newtonian fluids into bags at a high place and smashed them into the phone... Nokia can still work.
Just as Nokia is the hardest phone in the world, for car fans all over the world, the safest car in the world must be the Volvo. Whether you understand cars or not, this is the basic common sense of life.
At the beginning of 2021, there was an XC90 "head-cutting" rear-end truck accident on the Beijing Daxing Airport Expressway, volvo XC90 directly drilled into the container of the large truck, the A pillar directly broke, and the B pillar has also been torn, which means that the vehicle's "hardest" protective measures will fail, and the Volvo owner will still survive.
On June 29, 2020, on the Shangwan Expressway in Jiangxi Province, a Volvo vehicle was completely crushed by a overturned truck, and the overall weight of the truck was about 50 tons. In the 2-hour rescue, the Volvo body supported the weight of the entire truck, and finally the owner of the family of three people were rescued by firefighters, all unharmed.
Some car friends joked that VOLVO's first requirement for any living creature in the car was "you can die anywhere, you just can't be in my car."
In 2018, the British Beatcham Research even publicly investigated: since 2002, the XC90, which was listed in the UK and sold more than 50,000 vehicles, has never had a fatal car accident in the local area for 16 years.....
The VOLVO brand even established a riders club in the United States in 1990, and the name is particularly straightforward: "VOLVO Saved My Life Club", which translates as "Miracle of Life Club" in China (established in 2021 in China). The cover of the Baidu entry is still a white car owner who is surrounded by firefighters and has a happy smile.
As the club's English name is "VOLVO Saved My Life Club", Volvo saved my life, and the members who joined the club were all survivors of fatal car accidents, they all shared the same experience, and Volvo's incredible safety did allow them to avoid death.
Although the club has a high threshold, but... I'm still reluctant to participate hahaha.
Back to the point, I have seen a sentence: a good car is not how low the degree of damage in the accident, but the car has rotted out of shape, and the person is fine.
Volvo, a neuro-based car dealer obsessed with "safety", has been recognized by car fans around the world with countless cases and data.
It is also largely related to the history and culture of the brand, and VOLVO's concept of care has penetrated deeply into the entire DNA of the brand.
In Stockholm, where volvo base camp is located, the environment is harsh, and VOLVO, who grew up here, is full of reverence for nature and has great respect for life.
The Volvo Museum in Gothenburg lists the first safety or environmental protection technologies achieved by VOLVO in the past years: hydraulic brakes in 1930; three-point seat belts in 1959; VOLVO 144, the world's safest sedan in 1966; the directional child seat after 1967; the 3-yuan catalyst converter in 1976; the 1998 IC inflatable curtains, WHIPS head and neck protection systems; the 2006 Automotive Blind Spot Information System (BLIS); Pedestrian detection system with full automatic braking in 2010, etc.
Relatively speaking, volvo's obsession with safety refers to the innovation of various technologies and concepts in the history of automobile safety. It can tirelessly study the three dynamic processes before, during and after the accident, and adjust and upgrade from the body structure, stiffness and side impact to thousands of miles.
As Volvo's founders, Asar and Gustav Larson, put it: "It's people who drive cars." Therefore, the foundation of the establishment of the Volvo brand is to ensure safety. "Volvo's entire brand's obsession with "low-key, safe and luxurious" has been "entangled" into every detail.
Volvo models that are undergoing high-altitude throw tests
For example, the screening of raw material suppliers has reached the military level.
Volvo's raw material suppliers come from the production of cannons, Tiger tanks, the world-famous veteran military enterprises thyssenkrupp and ArcelorMittal.
Such as: manufacturing process, testing standards of "metamorphosis".
Volvo uses French ARO welding torches for vehicle manufacturing, and every 30 days or so in the workshop, a welded body-in-white body is regularly drawn for tearing experiments...
For example, the study of accidents and drivers and occupants.
Volvo is also particularly obsessed with the Roof Stength test in addition to the 25% small overlap front, 40% bias collision, Moderate overlap front, and side collision of the main and co-drivers. Taking the Volvo S90 as a reference, the peak score of the model's top pressure test is 9.92 tons (IIHS), and the peak score of the Audi Q5L top pressure test is 9.7 tons (C-IASI).
For example, under the premise of the cage body, high-strength boron steel is added.
Boron steel tensile strength of up to 1300-1600 MPa, yield strength of more than 1000Mpa, per square centimeter can withstand the weight of more than the Scorpion light tank! More than 10 tons, the maximum yield strength is 3-4 times that of ordinary steel. Volvo uses military-grade boron steel in the vehicle's A+B+C column + sill stringer + front wheel bag rear side + lower base plate front longitudinal beam + central channel + lower bottom plate rear stringer, and boron steel accounts for nearly 40% of the maximum.
For reference:
The average use of boron steel in the automotive industry is about 10%, and among the existing luxury brands, lincoln aviators, as a model with wide coverage, the proportion of parts using boron steel on the whole car is only 31.5%
....
In terms of vehicle safety, volvo's work is very expensive, very tiring, very time-consuming, and the points I listed above are only Volvo's rare investment and efforts in active and passive safety. To some extent, it also fulfilled a stem circulated on the Internet: the reason why Volvo can cover the collision test five stars such as north American IIHS, European ENCAP, CIASI, C-NCAP and so on, is because the highest is only five stars.
Most importantly, VOLVO's understanding of safety does not stop at paper.
After all, the top pressure test results in the crash test cannot fully indicate the impact resistance of a car at special angles (such as the roof), if it can really withstand the real blow, the brand needs to put the "real gun" in the development of the whole vehicle.
So, what does the safety idiot Volvo do for this?
1. Crazy to take the car to do the "stacked Luohan" test:
2. More importantly, brands are keen to collect front-line accident data and upgrade safety skills in practice.
VOLVO has established an accident research center, invested a lot of costs (time, manpower, research and development) to achieve the degree of "the accident scene, the insurance company that arrives first than the police, and the Volvo accident analyst who arrives first than the insurance" is the first time to the scene and get first-hand information to improve the safety value of the model in actual combat.
For example, based on this, the "cage safety body" developed first, through the entire body to absorb the energy of the collision, so that the collision energy can be quickly decomposed and consumed, such as the "dropper life- saving" method developed first based on this, by abandoning the front wheel before the 25% collision, to avoid the parts of the front part of the car due to the squeeze of the front wheel and invade the cockpit, resulting in the driver being injured or disabled, etc.
To this end, VOLVO also invests a lot of money, buying a large number of dummies covering all genders, body types and ages.
What is this concept?
VOLVO even has a hierarchical structure that simulates pregnant women and fetal dummies in the body for 2 weeks to 36 weeks, including uterus, amniotic fluid, placenta, etc. You read that right, even these structures are there.
In part, this may also explain why so many Volvo owners have survived fatal car accidents.
Back to the source of the problem: What happens when Nokia bumps into Volvo?
Roughly Nokia 1110 will disintegrate, and then pick it up and install it and use it again, and Volvo has nothing to do, right?
Well, Mr. Luo Xiang has endorsed Volvo, do you want to consider it?
