It lasted for one month, visiting the four major cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu, walking into the four universities of Southwest Jiaotong University, Tongji, Beiwai and Huagong, and discussing the impact of science and technology on all aspects of the future with Xinxin students at zero distance.

Look for the unknown: from individuals to businesses to industries
Hao Wei said that the four years is the process of college students from freshman year to senior year, and it is also the process of growth and transformation of the activity "Looking for Unknown Self": from individual growth to human development, from entrepreneurship and employment to the pulse of the times, from perceptual thinking to rational insight.
The finale of the fourth season focuses on a topic that is both sci-fi and grounded – the future of travel. Travel is the most basic part of our daily lives, and it runs through the trajectory of our daily lives. Today's travel is convenient enough, but it is not perfect enough. With the development of science and technology, there are more unknowns worth looking for in the future.
Hao Wei
"Travel used to be a personal matter, sending a person to another place. But now travel is more and more about each person and the scene in his life, the scene he is in. For example, I can do other things during the work process, and whether fitness can be carried out during the travel process. These are the things that can be imagined and expected in the future of travel. Hao Wei said.
For auto man Chen Hao, these four years are also his process of finding the unknown.
"At present, domestic car companies rarely go to the campus to share imaginary future technology with the post-95s and post-00s. We have been insisting on this activity for four years, constantly discussing with young students and the future of the motherland, what the future travel is like, what will happen to the future environment, we and Phoenix Network together to seek the answer. ”
Chen Hao
For one of the leading enterprises in the automotive industry, Dongfeng Nissan is always looking for the car of the future.
"No one can give a clear answer to what the future car looks like, but the future car will definitely understand us better, communicate more and more, breathe, think, and will become more and more intelligent, and more and more connected with us humans." Chen Hao said that the future of the car will show five modernizations: lightweight, electrified, intelligent, networked, and shared.
Finally, Chen Hao mentioned, "The era of automobile wisdom has arrived, and Dongfeng Nissan has been committed to creating a simple and extraordinary intelligent car life. From ProPILOT fully automatic intelligent control driving assistance, ProPILOT Park fully automatic intelligent control parking, Zero Emission Nissan electric technology, to Dongfeng Nissan Zhixing + vehicle connection system, this is not imagination, we are making the future happen, so that more confident, more exciting, more connected people, cars and lives are within reach. ”
Seemingly inconspicuous technology will also bring about a butterfly effect
Zhang Quanling, from media people to venture capitalists, has a more sensitive tentacle for the times, "You will no longer face a very certain era, the external environment of this era is changing faster and faster, so you must always keep hungry, have imagination, and have the ability to learn, and part of the learning ability is to open your brain and creativity." ”
Zhang Quanling
From wheels to stirrups to containers, Zhang Quanling said through these examples, "Some seemingly inconspicuous technologies can also affect the entire human way of life, economic rules, fate direction, and even changes in the relationship between countries and countries." This is how butterfly wings work. The inventor of the container could never have imagined that a container would bring about a change in the entire world. Just like Dongfeng Nissan is doing its own technical reserve, it may be a small technical reserve that looks inconspicuous today, and it will completely change our lives in the future. ”
Assuming that it is not necessary for an individual to buy a car as a means of transportation only, will the color of the car become more or less? It will become less because you don't need as many options.
What happens to the entire sales model? With a large number of car sales, the 4S shop model will be subverted.
Why? Because of a large number of independent sales or self-operated car-sharing platforms.
Zhang Quanling believes that the future travel revolution will produce new problems that need to be considered. "Another role of the car is a big toy, the person who buys it is to buy a toy, what are the requirements for the toy? Will cars become more abundant? What will the impact on our industrial chain become? When we ask just one point, you will find that all the economic models and technologies associated with it require a lot of reserves. ”

For Li Shuke, who travels south and north, the change of travel mode means more imagination and expectation. He used his unique travels to tell a different world.
"What's important is the change that the distant place brings to us, it will revise our ideas, it will bring us a lot of subversive ideas."
When he saw the Antarctic iceberg, Li Shuke knew that "the tip of the iceberg" is not just an idiom, but the world. Because of the icebergs seen, only 10% of them are exposed to the sea, and 90% are under the sea. Then the nine suns were shot down, leaving only one sun, and humans were able to reproduce, and before going to the South Pole, Li Shuke also thought it was a myth. But when he saw seven suns on the ice cubes at the South Pole, he suddenly realized that these myths were not empty.
"We are now through scientific and technological progress, to achieve a thousand miles a day, to become clairvoyant, downwind ears, and even the universe of things can be seen, this is a huge subversion and imagination brought about by science and technology." And the distance is not only poetry, but also worth looking forward to, worth keeping your curiosity and brave heart. Li Shuoke said.
Imagine the future of travel: individual needs are different
In the future of travel, ultra-high-speed transportation solves the problem of travel time, and the fully automatic transportation service on call is efficient and convenient. Travel no longer worries about driving problems, do not have to consider the cost of time, so what factors to value? In the forum session, the guests had a free discussion.
Guests expressed their views on the topic of the forum
Chen Hao said: "After 20 years, cars can already achieve automatic driving, I sit in the car, the first thing to consider is the convenience of life, such as watching WeChat, listening to music, reading books, or I go to see friends, whether to buy flowers or buy something." I pay more attention to life-related factors and don't limit my life because I'm sitting in the car. ”
Zhang Quanling said that he hopes to have a private space, but also cares about the scenery outside the window. Future travel may be possible to achieve physical human exercise in Beijing, but the scenery seen is Antarctica. "When we free our hands and don't do some repetitive work, the brain hole is opened, and the entertainment thing becomes very important."
Hu Zhenyu
As an entrepreneur, Hu Zhenyu pays more attention to the cost of travel time and diversity. "Sitting in the car today, I may be watching a movie, or I am very tired from work and in the process of riding home with my colleagues, I hope this car is KTV. I can do everything in a non-ride environment in the car. The car engine is not necessarily the engine, but the rocket engine, and our experience in the car may be the experience of being on a spaceship, and may experience the feeling of weightlessness. ”
"After the realization of automatic driving, I just need to say open the door, get out of the car, say the bed, the bed can be laid, and then go directly to the house, or the car directly into my house." If the scenes I want are to be realized in the car, then what do I want the house for? This is something that worries me, if it is so intelligent, will it cause other problems? Hao Wei believes that the arrival of automatic driving also needs to solve some practical problems accordingly.
What impact will the future of mobility have on urban living spaces? Li Shuke believes that in the future, strong intelligent development and automobiles become shared, which can reduce the waste of resources and land occupation. Buying a house may not be necessary. In the future, everywhere may become a resort, and everyone chooses the best and most beautiful place to live.
