Chapter 104 Computer R{xml}amp;D Process

No matter what the Zheng family thinks, it has nothing to do with Bao Zixuan. Now he has to go to the company to see the computer development situation, and then he will leave for New York to attend Phil Hawkins' wedding early the next morning. As the best man, he must go to the company in advance.

arrive.

At 5:08 pm on April 4th, U.S. time, Bao Zixuan and the others returned to Boston after traveling more than 10,000 kilometers. It was already very late now, and they planned to get off the plane and go back to the company directly.

When the security personnel of the American Black Cloud Company saw the two Knight XVs, they seemed to have returned to the prosperous days of the army. They were more domineering and more powerful than the armored vehicles they drove during the military confrontation. This is really what we

Produced by the company, this is the first feeling of many people.

There are many private modified car clubs in the United States, and the Black Knight XV can only appear in the public eye as a modified car. It cannot apply for a production license for mass production models without being tested by the Automobile Association.

Fortunately, company employees have been arranged to handle the temporary status of these two cars before arriving. Otherwise, on the way back to the company from the airport, you would have to ask a transport truck to tow it back for you; let alone drive to New York to attend the wedding.

On the way from the airport to the company, no matter who saw the Cavalier XV, they would look sideways and at the same time stay away from a distance. Judging from the size, they knew that their car would definitely suffer in the collision.

After returning to the company, the security guard still refused to get out of the car. Any man would not put it down for a car of this size.

At this time, Hashimoto Hiroshi and several engineers were waiting for Bao Zixuan in the company. He will go to New York to attend the wedding tomorrow. Tonight he will hear about the research and development status of the Heiyun computer project. In fact, Bao Zixuan does not want to work so hard. But Xiangjiang Hei

The construction speed of cloud production workshops is getting faster and faster, and the current production capacity and sales can still match. If no new products are launched on the market by the end of the year, then we will face serious overcapacity, and then we will be embarrassed.

Bao Zixuan went back to his room to wash up briefly and then went to the conference room. He knew that he did not have much time at MIT. If he did not use the last limited time to develop some leading-edge technologies, it would be very difficult to return to Xiangjiang where there was a shortage of engineering talents.

It is difficult to make a big breakthrough again, and even if there is, it will require double or even several times more investment than now.

After Bao Zixuan took his seat, he saw Hiroshi Hashimoto and the four engineers below. These are all top students with Ph.D. degrees in electronic technology and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. To be honest, it was really difficult for Hashimoto Hiroshi to manage this team.

, but now Heiyun Group has no available talents, so it can only use Hashimoto Hiroshi to take the lead.

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "Your Excellency, President, we have mapped out a prototype of the portable computer. According to our calculations, it can barely meet your requirements. It is only 20% better than the second-generation Apple computer currently on the market, but our cost

It is 4 times that of the other party. It has no commercial value at all."

Bao Zixuan: "Don't think about commercial development now. We just want to develop portable computers first. If the cost is too high, we will only sell them to high-end customers."

"I just want to know when the product can be put in front of me, and when the software can be written. How is the integration of the window interface I gave you last time."

Heiyun Software used Bao Zixuan's creativity to apply for a patent for the window interface in advance. If Microsoft wants to use it in the future, it will have to pay patent fees.

At this time, a software engineer said: "Because the boss provided us with a reference for the Windows operating system, the software can now basically meet practical requirements. We are just still looking for possible loopholes in the system. When we tested on Apple 2nd generation computers,

The computing fluency of their existing system has been improved by 20%, and when tested on an IBM minicomputer, it can be improved by 35% compared to their existing system."

Bao Zixuan was very satisfied with the results of the software writing. After all, he had provided a lot of basic code, and also had the window interface as a killer. In the early days of home computers, he could defeat his opponents.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for your hard work. Our factory in Xiangjiang is about to be expanded. Can we reach the maximum production capacity? Your computer company plays a very important role in it. In my opinion, all products may be

Although they have been eliminated, computers can still be used for hundreds of years without any problem. They are just more advanced and cheaper than today."

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "We can produce a prototype in June, and if the test goes well, it can be produced in the factory in September."

Bao Zixuan also knew whether it was right to develop a laptop computer seven years in advance, which went against the natural development of technology; but there was nothing that could be done about it. Researching ordinary personal computers was a very simple matter, but that would lead to competition with Apple.

The market suffered a bloody blow.

If it develops data workstations, it will steal IBM's job. Although Big Blue is currently facing an antitrust investigation, it is not something that the current Heiyun can bear to start a fire.

Bao Zixuan: "Have you measured the weight and size of the prototype, what is the battery life, and whether it can meet portable standards."

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "Due to the large amount of titanium alloy material used, the weight of the prototype is about 2.5 to 2.8 kilograms, with dimensions of 40 cm in width, 25 cm in height, and 3.5 cm in thickness. It uses Philips' most advanced battery technology combined with our software

With the battery tuning technology, the normal charging time is 2.5 hours. If the computing power reaches the peak, the charging time can be 1.3 hours. However, the cost of each battery is 80 US dollars."

Bao Zixuan: "Do you still have any technical issues that need to be solved or discussed urgently?"

The hardware engineer said: "Boss, the performance of our current chip is very unstable, and crashes often occur. However, this is not only determined by the performance of the chip itself, but also because we do not have a good cooling system, which makes the chip reach the peak temperature during the test.

It will generate heat after the peak. The high temperature generated by the overheating of the chip will cause the motherboard, hard disk, and memory to overheat, causing the computer to freeze and the system to collapse."

"This is a problem that must be solved. Otherwise, once our portable computers are produced, they will only work normally for no more than 20 minutes at a time. This will greatly reduce the user experience for customers."

After hearing this, Bao Zixuan finally thought of a question, how could he forget the exhaust refrigeration system. So he picked up the pen and paper in his hand and started drawing. After a while, he drew an exhaust fan on the bottom of the portable computer.

.

Bao Zixuan took the paper and said: "We can add a brushless motor exhaust system here, which can alleviate the impact of the high temperature generated by the chip on the computer. Then the lower part of the computer, which is the host part, will be replaced with a hollow shape.

structure so that the hot air can escape."

From 7 pm to 2:30 am, several engineers from Heiyun Computer Company continued to improve the design plan under Bao Zixuan's suggestions, and all the unreasonable designs in the early stage were overturned.

Finally, when everyone presented the newly designed plan in the form of drawings, all the engineers were impressed by the new design plan.

The product made according to the current drawings will be better than the initial version in terms of appearance, performance, and rationality. The boss's reputation at MIT is really not for nothing, he built it on his own strength.

They have been discussing for almost three months and have just finalized the performance of the product's components. However, the appearance and overall combination have not met the ideal requirements.

The thinking of science and engineering talents is relatively simple. Anyone who has strong abilities will be convinced and trusted. And they are willing to use him as the core. Bao Zixuan now wants to keep all the high-end talents here in Heiyun Group, and even bring them all to Xiangjiang if possible.
