"Hey, son, why are you back?" Yang Sulan was a little surprised when she saw Zhang Yang.

"Mom, it's summer vacation, why can't I go home?"

"No, every time you are on vacation, don't you always deal with the company's affairs before you come back?" This time her son came back earlier, and Yang Sulan was still a little uncomfortable. I have an appointment to play cards today, is she going or not?

"I thought of asking the company to develop a new product, so I came back early. The prototype should have been sent to the R\u0026D center, is my dad over there?"

Just as he was talking, Zhang Yang's cell phone rang.

"Son, why do you send someone to send a mahjong machine to the R\u0026D center? We are busy with work every day, how can we have time to play mahjong?"

The voice coming from the phone was loud, and Yang Sulan could hear it too. She looked at her son curiously, what did your father say just now, a mahjong machine? A mahjong machine?

"Dad, that's a prototype. You arranged for someone to dismantle it, and I'll go there right away. Also, I brought an expert with me to give you some requirements."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang looked at his mother: "If you're okay, follow me to the R\u0026D center?"

Mom pointed to her nose: "I am that expert?"

"That's right, you've been an old mahjong friend for many years, why aren't you an expert? Like my dad, they can only play mahjong a few times a year, and even don't quite understand the rules in many places, so I have to ask you to play mahjong."

Yang Sulan happily went out with her son, and went straight to the new research and development center on the Bingcheng side.

In fact, this R\u0026D center was formed by the merger of some backbones of the electronics factory in the county and an electronics research institute. The reason why it was established in Bingcheng is to facilitate Zhang Weiguang's work. He can't run to the county every day. It's tiring to drive for two hours. .

After Zhang Weiguang saw his wife and children, he looked behind them for a long time: "Where is the expert you hired?"

Zhang Yang stretched out his hands, trembling beside his mother: "Dangdangdang~~~Experts are here!"

"You brat, you're so stupid. You two come here as soon as you come, what are you talking about?" Zhang Weiguang smiled angrily.

"Dad, my mother is an expert. When it comes to playing mahjong and the number of times, none of you engineers can match her. So in this respect, she is more authoritative than you. Has the machine been disassembled and the principle is clear?"

Zhang Yang changed the subject,

Zhang Weiguang didn't say anything else, and led them inside.

Entering a room, there are many electronic devices in it, and there is a mahjong machine that has been disassembled in the middle.

This is still quite different from the mainstream mahjong machines he has seen in his previous life. The most intuitive point is that the mahjong tiles are much smaller.

This mahjong tile is number 30, and the mahjong tiles in most mahjong machines in the previous life are above 40, or even more than 50, which is very clear.

The color of mahjong tiles is also the most popular milky white and yellow. These two colors are too light, which Zhang Yang thinks is a shortcoming. The most mainstream blue and green in the previous life were finally proved to be the most suitable.

There is also a single-port slot for the mahjong machine, which means that only one slot can be used to load the cards, and then they are divided into four grids. No wonder it takes two to three minutes to shuffle the cards at a time.

It's okay to play mahjong slowly, but if you play fast, you can't wait at all.

Not to mention that the speed is required to be within half a minute, at least within one minute, right? It should be almost the same if it is changed to four cards.

"What are you looking at in circles, kid? Do you understand?" Zhang Weiguang said angrily.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my son circling around the disassembled mahjong machine, making it look like an expert. With his level, he couldn't even make a radio, which is a skill that apprentices must be able to master.

"Why can't I understand? I'm researching how to improve this product."

"Yo, you can boast. In terms of business, none of us in this room can compare to you, but in terms of technology, ten of you combined can't compare to one of us."

Several other researchers laughed, obviously they also agreed with Zhang Weiguang's words.

"That's not necessarily true. I don't know the specific technology, but I know what aspects of this product should be strengthened. Do you understand these?"

"First of all, the number of card slots has been increased to four, one for each position, which can increase the speed of card loading, no problem?"

"Secondly, the shell of this mahjong machine is made of metal. Although it is made of aluminum, which is relatively light, why not use plastic, which is lighter and prevents leakage. Or you can use wood, which looks more high-end."

"Add a cover on top of it. When the mahjong machine is not in use, the cover can be used as a table. Even on the table, a chess board can be engraved to add a function."

"The sieve plate in the middle is increased to two sieves, because people in many places like to use two sieves when playing cards. What to do with one sieve in some areas, just make the colors of the two sieves different. .”

"A red dot on a white background and a white dot on a red background are clear at a glance."

"The tablecloth of this mahjong table was changed to green, like the color of the billiards case. This color not only has a clear contrast, but also studies have shown that green is easier to relieve people's mood. Don't be too upset if you win a lot or lose a lot. Excited."

"The upper part of the device is changed from being fixed by screws to being pressed down by a card slot. You can take it down directly and open the upper cover, which is convenient for maintenance. It also allows users to deal with some minor faults by themselves, and there is no need to find the manufacturer for repairs."

"Also, some functions need to be added to the main control board. Because mahjong is played differently in different places, let's not talk about the 16-card tiles on Treasure Island, but only the more mainstream thirteen-card tiles."

"Some places bring white in the southeast, northwest, middle, and some places don't bring anything, and some places take part. Just like our ice city, we only carry red middle, which can ensure that everyone has fourteen stacks of cards in front of them." .”

"The system can choose the gameplay in different regions by pressing the button, so we don't need to launch different models in different regions, which is more convenient for distribution and maintenance."

"Then there is this table leg, which is now supported by four legs. It can be changed to a pile in the middle to support it, which is more stable and allows some people to raise their legs."

"Many people who play mahjong smoke and drink tea, and teacups or ashtrays are placed on the table, which is easy to stain or wet the tabletop. You can add a small bracket at the corner of the table to put ashtrays and teacups inside. Add a The small box can hold money or chips, as well as cigarette cases, lighters, mobile phones and so on.”

"Let's talk about this mahjong tile, the color should be changed to blue and green, so that the two sets of tiles will not mix. It should be considered that some people have color blindness or color weakness, so it is not appropriate to make red and green contrasting colors. Another mahjong tile should be enlarged, so that See more clearly."

"That's all I can think of for now, Mom, do you have any other suggestions?"

"No more. Son, you are too thoughtful. This mahjong machine was specially developed for mom, you are so filial!"
