Chinese entertainment for engineering students

Early the next morning, at dawn, Wang Xu met Lao Bai, Gong Kai, and another doctor who was engaged in fan fluid mechanics at the breakfast shop downstairs.

The three people organized it overnight, and then contacted Wang Xu's secretariat overnight to arrange a meeting this morning. Now we all know that it is difficult to make appointments with Wang Xu, so we are lucky if we can make an appointment until any time. There is enough time to eat breakfast in the morning.

Wang Xu didn't expect to be so busy, but when it comes to making movies, he really can't help but take the time. What's more, he is also paying attention to so many projects.

This project is just a matter of finding a team and spending some money. Life is not easy for scientists these days. Don’t look at these airplane builders. They have only been able to afford meat in the past two years, let alone any scientific research projects. Money wasted.

The method of operation in the future will still be the same. Throw it into the patent pool, and Brother Yuzhuo will do it for the top brands. Co-branded models will be done with Wang Chao. After a year or two, the high-end brand will be established, and then the market will be lowered. You can directly authorize it and hand it over to other manufacturers to do it.

Later generations often say that the problem of heart disease in the aviation field is actually caused by poverty. Although it is not without management problems, other problems have to be put aside in the face of poverty.

I heard that after listening to Wang Xu’s complaints, the superiors seem to be planning to form an aviation development group recently. I believe these scholars will have an easier time in the future.

This is all necessary. In the past, China designed aircraft first and then designed aviation engines. When the aircraft was discontinued, the aviation engines were also scrapped. This logic is reversed and must be completely changed.

So when Wang Xu complained to Director Jiang, he talked about this matter. I heard that the superiors took it very seriously. Wang Xu rarely got feedback from his superiors from Director Jiang. This time he actually heard the news. It can be said that it was a surprise.

When it comes to aviation, there is actually only one core difficulty, and that is the blades. Once the blades are done, the rest will be smooth, otherwise everything will be bumpy.

But this blade has stuck with China for decades. From materials, to shape, to internal structure, to surface coating, to processing and manufacturing, to assembly, to disassembly and repair, there are almost no difficulties. The place.

The few people in front of me are blade manufacturers. According to their introduction, the progress has been suspended because they have no money. The country now requires the military to be patient, so it is impossible for the military to spend money to develop new products. This has a chain reaction to universities, and naturally all kinds of research have been suspended.

Wang Xusai gave them a side mission, which was actually to help the team make some money, maintain the team, and maybe even continue to conduct experiments.

As far as Wang Xu knows, it was this team from the Imperial Aviation Academy in later generations that successively solved problems such as materials, coatings, internal air passages, and precision casting, and successfully manufactured high-temperature blades, laying a solid foundation for the smooth progress of several subsequent major aviation projects. Foundation.

The few people communicated very smoothly. As soon as Wang Xu said it, they understood it. The requirements were simple, lightweight, large air volume, low noise, and the air could be heated.

The work here is mainly the design of the fluid mechanics cavity. It requires not only calculations, but also experiments. It means to come up with some finished products, blow them through the smoke experiment, see how the airflow flows, and then vibrate. situation, noise situation and so on.

Anyway, basically the best configurations were found through experiments. These things were all over the streets in later generations, and sold for a hundred or ten yuan each. But in fact, the internal configuration is copied from other people's original designs. Anyway, the more similar it is, the better the effect will be. If it is not close, the noise and vibration will be louder.

But now Wang Xu has to find someone to experiment on his own, which is why he found the Aviation Academy team. They are top-notch in terms of equipment and experience. It is really a piece of cake to get a hair dryer and later a fan.

It seems that the Mizuki Motor Department has already developed high-speed motors. It is said that there are already micro motors with 10,000 rpm, but the cost is prohibitive and I don't know where they should be used.

It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive, it’s a luxury product. Let’s stack up the materials. $500 is not enough. How about $2,000? Really rich people won’t care about the price difference. The key is to make people think this thing is awesome.

A set of Wang Xu's audio sets now costs US$50,000. No one said it was too expensive, but they complained that there were many unavailable ones. Who knows that Wang Xu's place is all handmade and he can't produce many sets a month.

These things are not for ordinary people to play with, or how can we say that they are not a trap for the poor.

Senior Brother Yuzhuo is also there. Don’t look at the work that the secretary only arranged in the middle of the night, but Senior Brother Yuzhuo received it early in the morning. The secretaries know the living habits of these bosses very well. For example, Wang Jinghua will never arrange a meeting for her too early because she can't get up.

Her husband is okay, he still practices Qigong every morning.

Senior Brother Yuzhuo now has a similar lifestyle to Wang Xu. He gets up early every day to practice martial arts. Even Dadong knows the boxing set. If nothing else, it is at least good for his heart.

Going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit, and Wang Xu does not hesitate to promote it. At least in the 1990s, this habit was still quite common. Even Wang Jinghua and Tang Yun, who like to sleep in, would only get up after seven o'clock at most. .

According to future generations, that is a model for getting up early.

The matter was discussed smoothly, and then Senior Brother Yuzhuo took over. Wang Xu hand-drawn a drawing of the finished product, which looked like a hammer with a hole through the middle of the hammer head.

It looks completely different from today's hair dryers. It looks like a product of future science, with a bit of science fiction style.

In fact, what is the science fiction style has always been controversial, but the general public perception is that it is actually quite close to the minimalist style, plus some special Blu-ray and the like.

This is also one of the jobs of blue light diodes. Wang Xu used this style on his own speakers, that is, the blue line. For this, Wang Xu even applied for a trademark and patent.

Blue Line is what overseas people call Dynasty series speakers. They like to give many products nicknames. Well, in fact, Chinese people do the same. For example, the single-speaker recorder that was popular in the 1980s has always been called Brick by the public.

Wang Xu’s biggest export profit now is probably his recording studio. Brother Yuzhuo has sold this set of equipment all over the world. The starting price for a set is 2 million US dollars. If the place is larger, and all kinds of hardware and software are equipped, it will be better. It's not difficult at all.

Chouguo and Xiaoli both have top-notch recording studios with prices and regulations that even Wang Xu doesn't have here. It's a large-scale recording studio that can record symphony orchestras, with hundreds of microphones alone.

There are countless various mixing and crossover devices. The back-end devices used to process audio are not workstations, but a whole set of server cabinets. The high price of this thing is completely normal.

Let's put it this way, his control room is larger than Wang Xu's original recording studio.

The set Wang Xu built for Yangyin could also record symphonies, but it was really not that luxurious. A lot of choices and compromises had to be made. Compared with the wealth and wealth of his childhood, Wang Xu had to stay away from it.

There are also some particularly exaggerated home equipment, such as a set of audio equipment worth 2 million US dollars customized for a turbaned man in the desert. There are eight sets of top-notch handmade speakers made by Wang Xu alone, forming a system that can cover A perfect listening experience in that hall of his house.

There are many rich people in the world. People that Wang Xu has never heard of before, and places where he has never thought of, such a high-roller will appear from time to time.

Brother Yuzhuo relies on exhibitions to carry out such sales activities. He has no agents at all. For more than a year, he has continued to participate in various top exhibitions. Most of these products are sold through some consulting companies, banks, accounting firms, and even lawyers. The office was sold.

Even Brother Yuzhuo, who is known as one of the earliest professional managers in China, had never heard of these routines. Only when the business came, did he realize that those rich people didn't know how to buy things by themselves.

Their things are delivered to their doorsteps by these agents.

Tang Yun has now come into contact with such top customers, also from various fashion shows, but Wang Xu is too busy. The price of a customized evening dress for him has now reached 500,000 US dollars. Well, there is no market for the price. It hasn't been sold yet, so setting this price is purely to deter customers.

People who have customized clothes from him before all have a true love for his custom-made items. They are reluctant to wear them and just hang them up for display.

How long has it been since then? It’s already multiplied countless times. Moreover, it’s very rare. It’s so rare that there aren’t many sets in the world.

Now, the private customizations hanging in the shop are all the works of several designers who Tang Yun found after studying abroad. They can be labeled as Wang Chao, but they cannot be said to be designed by Wang Xu.

This year, Wang Chao has received invitations to both Milan Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. Qu Ying’s model team and New Ideas Model Team have both received contracts. Several sets of concept clothes created by Wang Xu will also appear at this event.

Wang Xu, on the other hand, still remains mysterious and will not show up at all. In the upper circles, everyone also knows Wang Xu, a mysterious artist who is outstanding in music, art, clothing, and design, but only his works are visible but no one is there.

Currently, a series of his sketches and several oil paintings are being exhibited in many European countries, causing a small sensation. He even received an invitation to the Venice Biennale, the first time since the 1980s that the exhibition invited Chinese painters.

Wang Xu didn't know much about these things. He was too lazy to hang out in this so-called art circle. Just because he liked art didn't mean he liked the art circle. There were really too many scum in it.

Therefore, he has always kept a respectful distance from those circles, keeping an eye out of sight. In comparison, even if the scientific community is a bit dirty, it mostly seems childish and sometimes even ridiculous.

He is not a germophobe, but he can still take care of himself. He has always sealed himself because he thinks the world is quite beautiful. After experiencing so many strange worlds, he cherishes his current life.

However, his unique character unexpectedly did not make his works sink. On the contrary, it may be due to the right time and place. Chinese works in this era are particularly easy to attract attention, and he is also a cross-border artist. Very exaggerated and typical.

His deeds have gradually started to ferment in Europe with the ugly news media, and then it was discovered that more and more of this man's works, such as his speakers and amplifiers, are made like works of art.

It makes people more and more curious about his independent producer brand, and then they continue to dig deeper and find out that he is also a painter, a photographer, a singer, a musician, a producer, a writer, an actor, and a screenwriter. He is a director, he is an inventor, he is a scientist. Well, the earth can no longer accommodate him, and the universe is his limit.

The messy identity, charming appearance, indistinguishable appearance of male and female, thin figure, and fair skin are completely different from the current mainstream aesthetics in Europe, and somewhat return to the classic image of the blue-blood aristocratic era.

Don't ask them how they knew Wang Xu's appearance. People who were young were much more likely to join in the fun than Wang Xu. They sold the photo album to Europe and specially produced versions in different languages.

Of course, Wang Xu has to be given another sum of money, which is still a large amount. A country is worth millions of dollars. Just tell me, Wang Xu feels that he earns more from selling photos than selling products.

This person who relies on his face to make a living has a life that is truly stress-free.

Since Wang Xu started tinkering with movies, various pieces of information began to gradually converge throughout the West, and then outlined a mysterious figure who was completely unlike reality.

The more mysterious the person is, the more curious people are, and when the person's true appearance is revealed, more wonder is added to it. The Europeans are just like the ugly Chinese a month ago, falling into a strange inquiring mentality, which seems to be a detective game.

Well, okay, actually, Wang Xu doesn't really rely solely on his looks. Maybe he did when he was a child, but it really doesn't matter now.

In fact, GIT's influence in Europe is not small at all. Many universities have even taught COS as a formal course in universities. Their pursuit of new things was still very clear in the 1990s, but it seems to have slowed down after the new century.

But the universities here have always been keeping up with the latest developments in the world. GIT has built several mirror sites in Europe. How could it not be a splash at all?

Even the "Matrix" project has many European language versions, and some European publishers have contacted GIT for publishing.

These things are all handled by accounting firms. PricewaterhouseCoopers is now the main partner of GIT. They are agents for such authorization and other things.

GIT itself is a non-profit organization and has no formal employees. The only way to do business matters is to entrust it to various agencies.

Therefore, all kinds of negotiations went very smoothly. As for the agents, they would not dwell on the price, and they would probably agree after paying some money.

A particularly interesting thing must be mentioned here. Copyright and patent are completely different. In theory, as long as the text you write takes shape, you naturally own the copyright.

The so-called registration right is just a notarization process and has nothing to do with the validity of your copyright. It is still valid even if you do not register it.

Patents, on the other hand, will not be protected if they are not approved. These are two completely different rights and interests.

The open source attribute of the open source community will open source the code. This is the scope of copyright and does not actually include the patents contained in it. In other words, if you use open source code, you may infringe on patents.

However, general open source agreements do not rigidly stipulate the scope of patents, and many people will not pay attention to them.

If it is a software community, because the software code and algorithm itself cannot be patented, the software community basically does not involve patents, so there is a high probability that there will be no problems in this regard.

If you are in the hardware community, you must look carefully at open source products to see if they have authorized patents. If not, you must be extra cautious when using them.

In the final analysis, the Matrix community is actually an open source of background settings, and the novels and scripts themselves were only authorized to GIT and major forums when they were released for free use.

In other words, strictly speaking, the ownership of the copyright itself is vague, and if you have to go through it, you may actually have to file a lawsuit.

Moreover, the standard agreement stipulates that the use of these contents, including commercial use, is free, but whether publishing counts as use is another matter. Publishing novel content and your use of the content are completely different concepts, okay? .

Of course, Wang Xu didn't understand this at the time. He thought it was fun and open sourced it without delving into the legal issues involved. Now he can only ask a law firm to re-draw the license agreement for this type of content.

It may be necessary to redefine the licensing model, scope, rules, etc. It is not too late to make amends. Although it will still take some time, there are not many open source projects on the new Gitee, so there is still time for everything.

However, for the sake of insurance, publishers at this time will still go to GIT to pay some money and then publish these texts. According to the original agreement, part of the money will be given to the direct contributor.

Then, there really is such a group of authors who actually make money just by writing.

Although there are not many, and it cannot be compared with the best-selling books with complete copyrights, it seems that there is a possibility of becoming a career.

This is how the world changes and develops, completely out of Wang Xu's control. Who would have known that Wang Xu's whim of an open source move would cause so many changes in society.
