Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"As expected, Robert was asked by the software manager to go out for a drink. That's right. It's not Wang Xu's product.

That's right, this product is really not Wang Xu's, but Tongfang's. They not only develop hardware, but also software, especially to match their own workstation products with software, which is even more necessary.

The products used by Wang Xu here, including software products for three-dimensional modeling, animation, and video editing, are now maintained by them. It is said that the engineering team has more than 400 people.

Wang Xu is currently the only customer for these things. Wang Xu paid a total of 15 million yuan in software and hardware fees, including later upgrades and maintenance. Judging from Huaxia's current salary, this is definitely a huge order.

And this is really just a small head. Wang Xu knows that China's current position in the world is quite embarrassing. If it wants to continue to develop, then the purpose of keeping a low profile cannot be lost.

China lacks funds, technology, and even more markets. Currently, it has to rely on the Chou Country to liberalize these things. No matter how you look at it, the Chou Country is the largest market. If you can enter the Chou Country for sales, then half the battle is won.

Therefore, Wang Xu did not focus on home personal computers, although China's offices began to gradually use various computer products derived from Wang Xu's supercomputing project, and even universities were transferring their teaching subjects to the new system.

But if you look at the computer room outside, you will know that the largest number of computers are personal computers with DOS installed.

Not to mention anything else, the games above alone are enough for ordinary people to choose this product.

Wang Xu's open source two-bit 3D game engine has been ported by good guys to be compatible with the DOS platform. For this compatibility, many low-level packages have even been included.

As a result, when this product is run under DOS, it will replace everything in the memory, which is equivalent to temporarily installing a low-profile COS system on the computer, and then they named it "GOS", which is the game operating system. mean.

This operation was done by the Chou people. In China, they only do maintenance on the bottom layer of the engine and don't care about anything else. This kind of encapsulation is indeed a bit crazy, but if you think about it carefully, it really makes some sense.

In fact, the operating systems of these days are not big. DOS6.0 only needs a 1.2 MB floppy disk to carry it away. The core of COS is even smaller, with a capacity of only about 200K.

It really doesn't take much effort to read them all again. It is said that some manufacturers are already using this GOS to make game consoles. Because of the power of the game engine, it does not take much effort to develop some small games.

There are already many games using GOS. Although there are no major productions and the content is mostly the work of enthusiasts, the trend is simply unstoppable.

It was the end of another day's work. Wang Xu rarely encountered any troubles today. He hurriedly got off work and rode his motorcycle home.

It's spring, and all kinds of yellow winds have begun to ravage the imperial capital again. On such days, riding a motorcycle seems particularly embarrassing. Every time I get home, there are handfuls of sand in my helmet, hair, and clothes.

This is not a problem that Wang Xu can solve with just a flap of his wings. We have to wait. It will take almost twenty years until the three-north protective forest is completed and the smog control is successful to get better.

People are not so pretentious now. The strong wind and sand are really not an insurmountable difficulty. Wang Xu's conditions are already the best. He can take a shower when he returns home. Some people have no conditions and can only wipe their faces when they return home. exists.

When I was getting ready to take a shower, I saw Wang Fei coming back from the chess and card room. Hey, he pulled her into the bathroom. She was so beautiful and clean when she came out.

Wang Xu's hair quality is particularly good. It has been good since he was a child. His hair is black and straight. If his hair is short, it will stick out. When it is half long, it will easily look messy. This seems to be a common situation here in the imperial capital.

It seems that the hair of southerners is softer and more often curled. When it grows as long as Wang Xu's now, it will look good again, smooth and soft, and look very charming, not to mention more like a woman. .

However, the main reason why Wang Xu doesn't like long hair is not because it's too feminine, but because it's troublesome to wash your hair when it grows long. He has typical oily hair, which seems to be the case for most men. The hair is moisturized by the oil secreted by itself.

This kind of hair looks great when clean, long, straight, and shiny. But once dust gets stuck on it, especially when someone like Wang Xu rides a motorcycle and gets a head full of sand, it becomes stupid, and the strands are like begging for food.

That can't be done by combing your hair. Wang Xu had no choice but to wash it every day, which was really troublesome.

When Wang Xu had short hair before, he never used a hair dryer. Wang Fei has always kept her hair short and rarely used a hair dryer. As a result, Wang Xu's hair has grown longer now, and Wang Fei has slowly grown her hair out, so a hair dryer has become a daily necessity.

Wang Xu took the hair dryer and helped Wang Fei dry her hair. He was blowing it and looking at the Panasonic hair dryer in front of him, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a good brand of this thing in the future. What was it called?

Well, wait a minute, that brand doesn’t seem to have come up with that kind of hair dryer yet, maybe they can do it themselves? There is nothing technically difficult about this thing. The key is a matter of creativity and experimentation. It will be done naturally if you invest some money.

Think about it, who to look for? Well, let's go to the Aviation Institute. They also study engines. The principle of this thing is actually similar to that of a turbofan engine.

Just as he said, Wang Xu finished drying Wang Fei's hair, and then asked Wang Fei to do it for him. He picked up the cordless phone next to him and dialed Hangyuan.

What's off work? Don't be ridiculous, those people have never returned home before twelve o'clock. They are all a bunch of young men who don't even have a partner. They just tinker with their planes all day long.

"Hey, Lao Bai, I'm Wang Xu." Well, Lao Bai's name is Bai Yongxiang, the leader of the four-axis team of the Aviation Academy, and the person who has the most contact with Wang Xu.

Like Wang Xu, he is a new associate professor, but he is ten years older than Wang Xu.

"I heard it. Why are you looking for me so late? Didn't you say that the aerial photography is over?" Lao Bai spoke slowly, always with a calm and leisurely demeanor, like a scholar.

If Wang Xu hadn't seen him chasing the plane with his own eyes, he would have been deceived by his pretentiousness. This guy is actually a sweet-tempered person and is quite enthusiastic.

"It has nothing to do with aerial photography. The matter over there is settled. That's what it is. I want to make a hair dryer. Who do you think is better? Can you recommend one?" Wang Xu explained his purpose straightforwardly.

"Making a hair dryer? What's the situation? Just buy one of those things. Are there any special requirements?" Lao Bai was confused. This guy said that he was very imaginative, and he was fine when he was in contact with it. Today, he really saw it.

"Well, we just use the principle of a turbofan to build a hair dryer with large air volume and low noise." Wang Xu gave a general explanation, but did not explain it in detail. Wang Xu's projects are never handed over to the same scholar. Basically, Every time we make substitutions, everyone has a consensus.

This project is not a difficult scientific research project. In fact, you can just ask Brother Yuzhuo to run it directly. But Wang Xu really doesn’t want to invent everything by himself, which would be a bit boring.

The normal logic is to put it in the project list and wait for someone to take it. However, this project is really too simple. It can produce output with almost input. For people who work on engines, it is almost free.

Since they are all picked up, the person who picks them up has to be chosen. Everyone has a circle. Wang Xu and Lao Bai have worked together for a lot of time. The cooperation has always been very pleasant. I also feel that this person is good. Since I always have to find someone to send favors to, It’s better to use familiar food instead of raw food.

"Well, the principle of a turbofan is to increase the air volume. I have a buddy who makes engine blades. He should be the right one. Let me help you get in touch. Wait for my news tomorrow. Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner later. ." Lao Bai understood the truth immediately and thanked him in advance. This was a favor to himself, which was a good thing.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Fei was still blowing Wang Xu's hair. When she heard him talk about making a hair dryer, she asked curiously: "Why do you want to make a hair dryer? Is this bad?"

"There's nothing wrong with this. It's just that it looks a little ugly and makes a little noise. I want to make one with less noise and a larger air volume. I just have a new idea and I need to find someone to make it. It should be a pretty good invention. I think I can make a lot of money. A lot of money." Wang Xu let Wang Fei fiddle with her own head and reached out to touch Wang Fei's smooth waist, enjoying the smooth touch from his hands.

"You are still short of money, don't always think about making money, you are tired.

Hey, don't move your hands or feet.

Hey, you have an itch on your back, please scratch it.

I hate it, it's not there. If you do it again, I won't blow your hair.

Hmm, point it down, um, yes, it's comfortable. "Wang Fei couldn't bear Wang Xu's hands and feet, so she asked Wang Xu to tickle her instead.

The two of them like to play like this the most. They have been together for two years, but they are still full of freshness and temptation to each other.

"It's not that I want to make money, I just have some ideas. Anyway, I won't do it by myself. I can do it if I can. It's not like I'm in trouble. We have no shortage of money. My wife is enough to support me, don't you think so." Wang Xu rested his head on Wang Fei's lower abdomen, and his face felt warm.

"Well, you're worried that I'll dump you. Haha, I'll support you enough. Reporters all say that I'm keeping you, pretty boy. Stop moving and let's have a good chat." Wang Fei felt that Wang Xu was dishonest. She hugged Wang Xu's head tightly. She didn't want to continue today. This kid was simply a cow.

"Aren't you afraid? Look at how many dates Xiangjiang reporters have arranged for you." Wang Xu got a little angry as he spoke.

"Haha, you still know that it's okay to be jealous, but I'm afraid you won't be jealous anymore and will dislike me as an old girl." Wang Fei said as if she was feeling sorry for herself.

"When I was young, I didn't know how good my sister was. I mistook my lolita for a treasure. When I got older, I realized how good my sister was. She has long legs and a soft waist and is full of food." Wang Xu chuckled, and his words started to sound dishonest.

"You little hooligan." Wang Fei's face turned red.

"hey-hey"

When the weather was calm, the two of them had to take a shower again.

To be honest, such a relaxed world between two people has really become less and less recently. Wang Xu is busy and Wang Fei is also busy. It is normal not to see each other.

The two of them are now a small family, and there is no difference except that they don't have the certificate.

"You haven't said why you want to make that hair dryer?" Wang Fei suddenly remembered the unfinished topic just now.

"How do you think you can sell a hair dryer for $500 and still make it worth it?" Wang Xu suddenly asked.

"The one we just used cost more than a thousand dollars. It's not the most expensive. Five hundred dollars is nothing unusual." Wang Fei, the housekeeper, bought all the messy things in the house, so she is quite familiar with these prices.

"Such a broken thing sells for more than a thousand?" Wang Xu was really surprised. Are hair dryers so expensive in this era?

"Well, when I was young, it was said that it doesn't harm the hair, and there are some ions that can protect the hair." Wang Fei thought for a while and replied. She only buys things in a few high-end shopping malls. Everything is imported, unless it is When Wang Xu came back from tinkering, there was not a single domestic product at home.

She doesn't like shopping in the electrical appliances section. Basically, she buys whatever is expensive and focuses on simplicity.

"Well, I still fool people when I'm young. It doesn't hurt the hair but it lowers the temperature. Don't you think that drying your hair also slows down?

As for ions, it's just a special metal wire added to the heater. It's all bragging. "Wang Xu curled his lips. He knew all these things. Engineering students have never studied these things. Such small daily things have long been exposed on a certain music popular science channel in later generations.

I just didn’t expect that I would get it out so early, and I would really make money in my small days.

"Not many people buy this kind of thing in China, right?" Wang Xu was a little curious as to how many people bought this thing. The price of this thing, in this era, was equivalent to more than three months' salary for most people.

"There are quite a lot of people buying it. I saw a lot of people buying it when I was buying it. Have you not been to a tailor shop for a long time? I wonder how many rich people there are in the capital now. A piece of clothing in our shop costs tens of thousands." Well, a lot of people are buying it." Wang Fei lazily made a comfortable posture on Wang Xu's body, letting her slender legs stick closely to Wang Xu.

"Really, not much has passed in the past year or so. I just drew some pictures and left. I really didn't pay attention to how the business was going." Wang Xu suddenly felt that he had almost forgotten that he still had a lot of money to make every day. ’s shop, oh, by the way, that shop now belongs to Wang Fei.

"Business is going well. Tang Yun, Xiaonizi, has already expanded her business to Europe. She has opened stores in Milan and Paris. Last time he told you that he wanted you to produce a set of models for the catwalk. Do you remember it? ." Wang Fei also has a big problem. His man is becoming less and less interested in this aspect. Fortunately, Tang Yun has also recruited several designers who have returned from studying in Europe. Otherwise, there may really be problems. maybe.

"Remember, remember, after the painting is finished, you can ask the secretariat in the design room. I remember to explain it." Wang Xu quickly replied, his wife's business must also be taken care of, and she can't really forget it.

"That's good, I thought you just left all the business to me, and you really don't want to take care of it. No, don't interrupt, continue talking about the hair dryer." Wang Fei was so angry, thought for a while, and finally hammered lightly He hit Wang Xu's chest.

"Ah, you beat me to death." Wang Xu made a sign of pain.

"Don't come here, hairdryer." Wang Fei was really angry and hit Wang Xu in the chest again.

"Oh oh oh, okay, actually the principle of the hair dryer is very simple. There is a motor inside, with a small fan, and a resistance wire for heating is installed in the front. The wind, the wind is blown forward from the fan." Wang Xu held it Hair dryer, show it to Wang Fei.

"But there is a problem, that is, all the weight is on the big head of the hair dryer. The handle is actually very light. When you hold it with your hand, the hair dryer will feel very heavy.

Moreover, these hair dryers must increase the power of the motor in order to have a large air volume, and then the fan blades will make more noise. Every time they are turned on, it will be noisy and give people a headache.

Well, this is called a pain point, a business pain point.

This pain point is actually not difficult to solve, and in fact there is a ready-made solution in the world, which is the duct design of jet engines.

This is more complicated. I will find one for you to take a look at when I have time. As long as you apply that principle to a hair dryer, you can greatly increase the total air volume without increasing the original air volume of the fan, and even reach An increase of about ten times.

Then, since the requirements for the original air volume are reduced, the fan can be placed at the handle position. In this way, even if the wind blowing turns a corner, it will not lose too much and the center of gravity will be lowered.

The center of gravity is at the palm of the hand, which is all made of empty plastic, so the torque is small. Even though the total weight has not changed, it will feel very light when held.

This principle can be used not only as a hair dryer, but also as a fan. A bladeless fan with invisible blades is very advanced, right? "Wang Xu proudly introduced the working principle of the ducted fan, completely unaware of Wang Fei's expression, which became increasingly confused as he listened.

"You're just bullying me, don't you understand?" Wang Fei hit Wang Xu again angrily.

"Oh, okay, just understand it this way. Use the technology from fighter jet engines to make a hair dryer. Do you think it's expensive for me to sell it for 500 US dollars each?" Wang Xu quickly received education and changed his tone of voice. Way.

"Well, it does sound quite high-end, but it's not expensive. However, we are rich people, so we don't think anything is expensive." Wang Fei looked innocent. He really felt that he was a rich person. He never felt that anything else was expensive. How can anyone be richer than her?

"Yes, we are rich people, but even a poor person feels very high-end. He can't afford it just because he is poor and not because we are cheating him." Wang Xu said seriously.

"Listening to what you said, I think you are planning to trick people." Wang Fei looked at Wang Xu and said with a smile.

The two of them understood each other so well that they didn't need words for a long time. They knew with just one glance that Wang Xu was trying to trick people again.

"Who are you cheating on? Traying foreigners doesn't count as cheating on people, right?" Wang Xu yelled, but he never cheated on his own people.

"What are you saying? I don't know how many people say our clothes are expensive. Not even my best friends can afford them." Wang Fei likes to see Wang Xu complaining the most. It's so painful.

"At least we don't cheat the poor. People who can afford clothes at that price cannot be poor. Poor people will not enter our store at all." Wang Xu was looking for reasons for himself again.

He never thought that he would become the first owner of luxury clothing in China, and so far, it has always been more expensive than imported big brands, and it is actually selling well.

This success was truly unexpected. Now they are Wang Xu and Wang Fei's cash cows, and they don't need to worry about it at all.

Tang Yun's growth has far exceeded the two's imagination. Those 10 points are absolutely worth every penny. The current size of Wangchao Clothing is more than ten times larger than before, and it is still expanding.

"Okay, that's right. There are indeed no poor people who can enter our store. I don't care about that. But hair dryers are not luxury goods. Isn't that a daily necessities?" Wang Fei also understands how much the brand's additive effect on the product is, Wang Chao This brand is a well-recognized luxury brand throughout Southeast Asia.

"It's as if clothes are no longer daily necessities. The same goes for hair dryers. In the future, we will make a joint model and sell them for 5,000 US dollars each. It is also limited and you can't buy it even if you want to." Wang Xu continued to start thinking, where Hu Lilie.

"Well, this is fine. If we put our WC label on it, it will probably be sold out if it costs 5,000 yuan." Wang Fei thought about it and nodded seriously.

"Hey, you really agree. She is indeed my good wife, and she can make money." Wang Xu hugged Wang Fei and kissed her hard.

Just like that, the young couple affectionately made plans for making money in the future and went to bed happily.

But Lao Bai, who put down the phone, was not so leisurely. He quickly contacted his friend, Associate Professor Gong Kai, and told the matter, and Gong Kai immediately agreed.

This Professor Gong actually did not study fluid mechanics, nor did he study aero-engines, but he happened to lead a team to work on blades. According to his profession, he was actually engaged in materials.

But the team he is leading now is a topic in the aviation jet engine project, the improvement of blade materials. Although he is not a match, he can definitely find the people who need it.

Since Wang Xu came to find him, it meant that he had given this favor to him, and Gong Kai was not only his friend, but also had something to do with Wang Xu, because he and Wang Xu knew each other when they were in the Department of Water and Wood Materials. .

Professor Gong is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Water and Wood Materials, and has actually interacted with Wang Xu several times. It's not a stranger who can't speak. In this case, it's enough to find the doctor of fluid mechanics in Lao Gong's team at most.

A hair dryer, come to think of it, should probably not require more advanced talents.
