Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"Tired?" Wang Xu's voice was so gentle that it could turn into water, but the group of young men around him all looked around with expressions that showed they were here again.

"Fortunately, the Northeast seems to like me very much. They are very enthusiastic. It feels quite strange." Wang Fei's voice did not sound tired at all. This time she was not singing, but just participating in a big event there.

"It's not surprising. The people there are enthusiastic about everyone they see."

"Just be angry with me, and be careful I don't let you go to bed when I get back."

"Hey, I've been to the Northeast and my temper has improved."

"No, I've learned a lot from the girls here. I'll go back and take care of you."

This is Wang Fei's first time to the Northeast, but this time she is not lonely. Her best friend also went. For this kind of platter-style performance, Wang Fei usually only participates in Xia Shi's or the big parties of several major municipalities. This time Actually, I was helping my best friend on the platform.

In addition, Wang Xu has been very busy recently, and she rarely has the opportunity to go to the Northeast. She just went there to have a look and play while it was still cold.

The Northeast is not very safe these days. Even with the organizer's promise, Wang Xu still sent two bodyguards to follow him.

The main reason is that there is a lot of chaos in Da Mao, and the gangsters here have also begun to advance, from big bags to small bags, and now they are all gangsters.

In fact, the overall volume of border trade is not very large, but the population of the three northeastern provinces is not large, so it can also allow economic development.

However, such short-lived border trade did not really allow the economy of the three northeastern provinces to take off. Instead, it seemed to overdraw the potential of the three northeastern provinces, making the layoffs in a few years particularly cruel to this land.

Wang Xu is not from the Northeast, but he has heard many friends from the Northeast mention that time. There are too many state-owned enterprises here, many of which have been around since liberation.

It is not a simple joke that the three eastern provinces are called the eldest son of the Republic. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they carried almost half of China's industrial capacity.

However, after the reform and opening up, these older generation companies fell into trouble due to various reasons. Afterwards, a large number of companies closed down, went bankrupt and reorganized, and a large number of old workers were laid off.

It can be said to be the trauma of an era. This is an old industrial base, and naturally it is the area most severely affected by this round of layoffs.

Since then, the three northeastern provinces have gradually become a place with a net outflow of population, and Northeastern accents are gradually becoming ubiquitous across the country.

Just like the Imperial Capital, it is the closest there and is also the first stop for Northeasterners to go out to work. Even many of the so-called Imperial Capital dialects later have a Northeastern accent.

Wang Xu does not have the ability to change this general trend. Bankruptcy and layoffs are almost inevitable results in China. They are the diffusion effects of reforms that gradually enter the deep water zone.

In later generations, we seem to have a pretty good impression of state-owned enterprises. They are strong, have guaranteed benefits, and are trustworthy both externally and internally.

In fact, before the 1900s, almost all Chinese enterprises were like this. Even small collective factories had various internal guarantees.

But this is not necessarily the case externally. The products are single, lack competitiveness, do not understand marketing, the styles are old, and even the quality is not very good. These are almost the labels of various general state-owned enterprises.

After the tide of the market economy hits, such enterprises are almost hopeless. Except for a very few that can successfully save themselves, the vast majority of small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises have embarked on the path of either bankruptcy or bankruptcy.

The remaining ones are those large and very large state-owned enterprises that have successfully saved themselves or have certain competitiveness.

After various separations of government and enterprises, corporate mergers and reorganizations, professional manager operations, demutualization and other means, some powerful giant state-owned enterprises have re-emerged and become what we remember in future generations.

In this era, these state-owned enterprises are in their final struggle. If they meet a capable boss, like Zhang Ruimin of Haier, they will become a dragon and rise to the top.

But most of the time, they meet a boss who only rests on his laurels, and they end up languishing all the way to the end.

The good ones can go to heaven, and the miserable ones are really miserable to the end, miserable to the dust.

(Originally, there were some stories about layoffs in the Northeast here. The layoff wave officially started in 1993 and reached its peak in about 1998. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to write about it. If you are interested, check it out for yourself.)

This era can be said to be an era of turbulence, and it can even be said to be an era of mud and sand. Heroes and bears are really all born out of fighting.

Therefore, when Wang Xu looks at this era, he is often filled with a strange emotion. This is a kind of desolation unique to those who have experienced it, including admiration for successful people and sympathy for the victims.

Listening to Wang Fei's story there, Wang Xu felt even more sad. Wang Fei took Lao Na to donate some money there, and even found some singing and dancing talents, planning to bring them back to the imperial capital for development.

Although it is only a drop in the bucket, it is still a small contribution.

However, Wang Xu also asked Brother Yuzhuo to pay attention to the industrial workers over there, and they could recruit some appropriately. After all, Wang Xu still had many jobs here that needed workers to actually complete them.

It’s not just electronics. In fact, mechanical ones can also be considered. Mechanical plus electronics, plus automated control, it’s called a machining center, the legendary industrial mother machine.

Before Wang Xu traveled through time, few people mentioned these things. After all, although domestic products are not yet top-notch, they are no longer stuck.

After all, domestic products are often inferior to imported products in terms of product life, but if you really don’t sell them, they won’t be useless in China.

But in this day and age, this thing is the crown jewel of industry.

As we all know, pearls refer to things that cannot be produced domestically. In fact, when Wang Xu later saw the pearls turned into ballpoint pen refills, he felt really happy, right?

People who have experienced this era will know how many pearls there are now, that is, there are almost pearls everywhere.

The main reason why Wang Xu has not built a machining center is not that Wang Xu has no skills here, but that this thing is really not something that can be used in college, so he has not taken out these things.

However, Wang Xu has a lot of various error accumulation control algorithms, various detection devices, and various servo motors in the project pool.

However, Wang Xu did not really combine them into a machining center.

Wang Xu's original plan was to wait until the wave of layoffs came and he had accumulated enough funds before entering this field and producing high-precision processing equipment starting from four-axis.

We still only work on the highest end, and let go of technology and patents in the middle and low end to other manufacturers for cooperation, so that Brother Yuzhuo won't be too busy to death.

As for machining centers, it’s not that five-axis machining centers are better than four-axis machining centers, or that nine-axis machining centers are invincible. In fact, the key lies in the accuracy and size you can process.

There are quite a lot of key equipment in a machining center. Wang Xu has commissioned the research and development of most of them. Over the past year or so, various results have been achieved. This is why Wang Xu is determined to open a machining center. confidence.

The machining center of the system is of a very high level. The main reason is that the shape of the microphone casing is very complex. After all, if it needs to be highly artistic, the shape cannot be simple.

It is obviously made of high-quality aluminum alloy in one go. To be able to hollow out and carve complex patterns in such a small space, the number of axes is indispensable. As for accuracy, the shell does not originally require high precision.

But it is estimated that machining centers with so many axes have been built, and the accuracy is too low to be cost-effective. Therefore, although it is not a nano-scale machining center, microns can still be easily achieved.

Many of Wang Xu's sub-project technologies have strict accuracy requirements, which are still very difficult to achieve at present, but if the overall effort is put in place, even if it is an order of magnitude lower, it is estimated that it will be a big seller in the country.

Moreover, the accuracy of this thing really does not completely rely on the accuracy of the subsystem. In that case, the subsystem must have higher accuracy.

The system accuracy is achieved by adjusting the compensation algorithm to achieve such a high level. In the growth method, the sub-project of developing semiconductor lasers and derived fine measurements in order to measure the growth progress can actually be used here.

Wang Xu has roughly outlined the required sub-projects, and they are almost complete now. This is a large system project that requires not only technology and funds, but also professional personnel.

Taking advantage of the massive layoffs in the north and various high-level industrial workers appearing on the market, Wang Xu planned to take this opportunity to let Brother Yuzhuo and the automation department operate. High-precision machining centers are not something ordinary migrant workers can build. of.

This also solved Brother Zhuo's complaint all day long that he had too few products and had nothing to sell.

This thing will probably cost you a while, but it's not big in scale. After all, you're not researching it from scratch. The drawings and everything are ready-made. The troublesome part is just assembly and debugging.

After hanging up the phone and lamenting the situation in Northeast China again, Wang Xu turned his attention back to the three-dimensional special effects.

Zeng Yandong is mainly leading the team here, Hu Ershui is leading the team on the entity side, and Wang Xu is running on both sides.

The future operations will be mainly handed over to Dadong as the CEO, while Hu Ershui will be more of a CTO. Therefore, when Wang Xu started classes here, Hu Ershui also ran back, and Dadong was left to keep an eye on it instead.

The three-dimensional modeling team now employs almost a hundred people, and these are just technical operators. Logistics, administrative personnel, etc. still rely on Wang Chao Studio to provide package services.

Most of these people have vocational high school education, and a few are college graduates from art colleges.

In the past few years, some universities have opened self-funded classes. Students in these classes often need to pay high tuition fees, well, about a few thousand yuan a year. Except that there is no allocation, everything else is the same as ordinary college students.

For genuine college students, the number of places available to Wang Xu every year is very limited. In fact, the main thing for cardholders is their household registration. It is not easy for Wang Xu to guarantee the household registration for Dadong and Hu Ershui.

But those students in self-financing classes don’t value their hukou so much. Earning money first is the rule. Some college students who don’t want to go back to their hometowns can also buy it and go overseas.

This is how most of the college students here in Wang Xu came. This should be the earliest group of college students to migrate to the north. Most of these people work in relatively new fields, and their salaries are also very good.

A relatively large proportion of this group of people stayed. Later, through various means, they slowly solved the household registration problem and truly took root in the imperial capital.

There have never been people from the Imperial City. This is how the people of the Imperial City came to be.

The equipment in Wang Xu's studio is quite advanced, and a lot of investment has been spent here. Of course, this should be used for film shooting in the future. Although the project has not yet been established, it can be regarded as an early investment.

There are also the costs of software development, the purchase of various material pictures, the production of various textures, three-dimensional modeling, the development of film output equipment, etc. All the costs can be calculated, otherwise it is just modeling and animation cutting. , where is it worth so much money.

This is actually a general rule. After all, a special effects movie often takes one or two years to produce. After a movie is produced, these computers should basically be eliminated.

High-end computers, especially workstation-level computers, can be upgraded faster than ordinary office computers.

As for the cost of software upgrade and development, many plug-ins and content are closely related to the movie itself. Most of the sources of complex 3D software special effects come from the inspiration of a certain movie director.

If existing software cannot achieve this, it can only be achieved through various software upgrades. Therefore, it is natural that the cost of developing these software should be included in the film production costs.

As for Wang Xu, he is also the director and invests in R\u0026D. Naturally, it makes sense no matter what you say.

This is not to defraud investors of their money. The main thing is that such results can be solidified in the special effects studio without the need to re-open source like investing in open source products.

In this way, special effects studios gradually have signature skills. These special special effects are not as open source as those general bottom layers. These effects are the unique skills of major special effects studios.

The first thing Wang Xu has to do is to build a city using 3D software, based on the future magic city, interspersed with famous buildings from various famous cities, to create a harmonious future city.

This is a city in the virtual world of the future. The name is not important because the name of the city has never appeared from beginning to end, but this is the virtual world.

The most important difference between the virtual world and reality is that it is a patchwork world. Any building that appears in this city is abnormal.

Of course, the system here is also virtual, more like the system in ugly countries. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the story background of so many guns and the police shooting at every turn.

From learning to practical operation to creation, the progress of three-dimensional special effects is even more stumbling than that of physical special effects. Wang Xu has been busy until almost New Year's Day to get everything on track and make it look decent. The dream city was successfully rendered on the computer screen.

On this day, Wang Xu invited investors to come to his audio-visual room to watch the first rendered clip of the film.
