Technological Hegemony

Chapter 47 Wireless Charging Technology

Each floor of the Zhongjin Building is about 1,500 square meters, and the laboratory of Star Technology is on the eighth floor, occupying about two-thirds of the area.

Luo Jia took Sha Zhan and Gong Xiangdong downstairs by elevator. Renting a commercial office building is such a hassle. You may not be able to rent the entire floor. Divided into three offices.

An iris scan is required to enter the laboratory, Luo Jia opened the door, Sha Zhan and Gong Xiangdong entered curiously, and immediately saw many advanced experimental equipment.

Huawei's 2012 laboratory is ranked first in the world, and it is not bad here, but the place is a little smaller.

"Let me introduce you." Luo Jia said with a smile.

There are currently two groups in the laboratory. The telex group is led by Dr. Ling Feng from Tsinghua University and Dr. Ma Chuncheng from Jiaotong University.

As for the optical group, Lu Chengfeng, chief engineer of the former state-owned enterprise Phoenix Optics, and Zhang Yuechuan, chief designer of industry giant Largan from Wanwan Province, are in charge.

The general director of the laboratory is An Ran, a double doctor of MIT. He is in charge of the company's hardware department, while Li Moran is in charge of the software department. It is known as the combination of Xingchen Technology.

Gong Xiangdong was soon stunned by Luo Jia's ultra-luxury lineup. Before he knew it, Star Technology had recruited a large number of talents.

There are about 50 people working in the laboratory, at least 985 graduates with a master's degree, and several senior returnees from Massachusetts, Cambridge, and Stanford.

"No wonder Xingchen Technology can succeed, they really have a lot of talents here." Gong Xiangdong said with emotion, let alone Xingchen Technology, even if they come to Huawei, these top talents can make a big difference.

"The total number of employees in our company is close to 150, of which 60% are masters." Luo Jia said very proudly.

Gong Xiangdong and Sha Zhan nodded again and again. They didn't know what Luo Jia was thinking. These talents were easy to use, and they could also cover themselves.

Without this elite team, today's news said that Luo Jia had developed a mobile assistant, and tomorrow's news said that Luo Jia had developed a super camera.

It's outrageous, too much pretense will kill you.

But now it's different, the news will only say that Xingchen Technology has developed something, and all the honor belongs to the team. Luo Jia is a leader, leading a large number of elites, and this name is justified.

Gong Xiangdong and Ling Feng have known each other for a long time, and they have a good personal relationship. The two chatted enthusiastically. Gong Xiangdong was very curious about Ling Feng's willingness to come to Xingchen Technology. Back then, he strongly invited Ling Feng to come to Huawei, but he refused.

"The reason is very simple." Ling Feng said with a smile, "Mr. Luo asked Di Wuchang to bring me a letter. After I read it, I decided to come here to work."

"A letter!"

Gong Xiangdong couldn't believe his ears. Luo Jia could recruit Ling Feng, a well-known domestic electrical expert, to his banner just by writing a letter? Why does it sound a bit far-fetched.

Ling Feng said, "That letter was an explanation about the company's ongoing project. The idea is very rare and brilliant. It is very likely to create a revolution in the industry. With such a good project, if I don't join, I will be a fool." ass!"

What are senior intellectuals most afraid of?

No money?

Impossible, at Ling Feng's level, the patent authorization in his hand is enough for a lifetime.

Intellectuals are most afraid of not having a good research direction, and Luo Jia stood on the shoulders of extraterrestrial civilizations and showed Ling Feng a road to the sky, so Ling Feng gave up his position at Tsinghua University and came to Xingchen Technology.

He didn't come for money, but wanted to participate in this epoch-making project and lead a major industry change.

Almost everyone has such a goal, otherwise, with the size of Xingchen Technology, it would not be favored by so many industry leaders.

After listening to the introduction, Gong Xiangdong was secretly surprised. It is the responsibility of a leader to attract high-quality employees to join the team. In this regard, Luo Jia has undoubtedly done a very good job. expert, join his team.

Now, Gong Xiangdong is even more curious about the project that Luo Jia is working on. Ling Feng's major is electricity. I'm afraid this project has something to do with electrical energy.

Luo Jia picked up a mobile phone power cord from the table, cut it with scissors in front of Gong Xiangdong, and threw it into the trash.

"This is the research we are doing, getting rid of the shackles of the power cord, and returning freedom to every mobile phone user." Luo Jia said seriously.

"Wireless charging technology? We are also working on this." Gong Xiangdong said.

Luo Jia said lightly, "I know that there are four major schools in the field of wireless charging, namely magnetic induction, magnetic resonance, electric induction, and energy wave."

"You, like Samsung and Apple, are all engaged in magnetic induction. To be honest, that kind of technology is not much better than the power cord. You need to attach the phone to the charging base to charge it. At best, it saves the step of plugging in. And The transmission power is also relatively poor, and the current laboratory data can only reach 30 watts, and mass production does not exceed 20 watts."

Gong Xiangdong became emotional. Of course he understands the four major schools of wireless charging, but with the current technical level, magnetic induction is not the best choice, but the most affordable choice.

Many young people don't know the long-defunct PALM company. As early as more than ten years ago, that company made wireless charging pads for its handheld terminals, using magnetic induction technology.

"Aren't you going to make an energy wave!" Gong Xiangdong asked excitedly.

Luo Jia nodded, "That's right, our research direction is energy waves, but it's a pity that it's still in the laboratory stage, so I can't show you samples."

In an instant, Gong Xiangdong's heart was full of turmoil.

Energy wave wireless charging technology can be simply compared to WIFI. Since WIFI in the 5GHZ frequency band can transmit data, it only needs to increase the power, and it can also be used to transmit electric energy in theory.

It's just that there are still a few problems that can't be solved at present. Since the energy wave is scattered to the surroundings, a lot of waste will inevitably be generated during the scattering process, because the emitted energy is not all received by the mobile phone, but scattered in the throughout the space.

Gong Xiangdong felt that his breathing became short of breath. Energy wave wireless charging technology, this nima is an absolute black technology!

If it is really done, the power cord will become history forever, and the mobile phone will also become history if it has no power!

When you hold your mobile phone and lie on the sofa to watch a movie, the mobile phone is automatically charged, and when you go to the toilet, it is automatically charged. If you install a multi-user transmitter in a public place, you can charge your mobile phone even outdoors.

And not only the mobile phone, but also the notebook does not need a power cord. Hold the notebook on the bed, in the bathtub, and use it as you want.

If it is further developed, even refrigerators, air conditioners, TVs, blenders, coffee machines, and all electrical equipment will become wireless. How much convenience will this bring to all mankind!

If the camera of Xingchen Optical is a kind of technological progress, then the wireless charging technology is the real black technology and an industry revolution!

As for value.

An epoch-making technology that all products that use electricity require, and the value that can be created is simply unimaginable!

Gong Xiangdong's throat choked. Luo Jia must have thought of a groundbreaking new idea. Otherwise, Ling Feng and Ma Chuncheng would not have joined Star Technology without hesitation after seeing Luo Jia's design. Invite top experts who can't even be invited.

"Please... Excuse me." Gong Xiangdong stammered, "How far have you guys achieved?"
