Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 311 Stocking Up on Smartphone Technology

Not long after, news of News Corporation's intention to acquire the MySpace website reached Zhao Ye's ears.

Hearing the news, Zhao Ye smiled meaningfully. To be honest, if News Corporation had not acquired the MySpace website, then the MySpace website would still be more difficult to deal with.

News Corporation doesn't understand the Internet. After they acquired the MySpace website, it will only make the MySpace website worse.Moreover, News Corporation spent so much money to acquire the MySpace website, and of course it hoped that the MySpace website could be monetized as soon as possible. However, it did not know that this was damaging the user experience of the platform and its ability to continue investing.

Zhao Ye is quite looking forward to News Corporation's acquisition of the MySpace website, so he no longer has to worry about MySpace surpassing Facebook.

……

……

iPhone smartphone research building.

Zhao Ye had been here in the morning. It was already 2002 and he had to prepare in advance to promote the development of the mobile Internet.

The 3G network has been successfully developed for a long time, but base stations have not yet been laid over a large area.

Before launching the 3G network, Wujiang Group still needs to develop smartphones.

The main components of a complete smartphone include various chips, screens, ROM, RAM, camera sensors, batteries, casings, circuit boards, various screws, connectors, speakers, NFC, sensors, electronic motors, etc.

Basically, these products can be made domestically.

For non-core products, Wujiang Group can completely hand them over to domestic product suppliers.

Wujiang Group is mainly responsible for smartphone operating systems, processors, screens, ROM, RAM, batteries, various sensors, etc.

"Touch screen technology has actually been around for a long time. In the 20s, bank ATMs used touch screen technology, but it was only a single touch. At present, our R&D team has made breakthroughs in multi-touch screen technology, which is far from R&D The launch of a smartphone is one step closer!" Wu Huahan, head of iPhone development, introduced while taking Director Zhao to visit the scientific research building.

"In terms of processor, the [Kirin Pentium 5] newly designed and developed by Loongson is very powerful. If the iPhone 5 is equipped with this processor, no matter what software it runs, it will be very fast!"

"The operating system of iPhone5 is still Hongmeng system..."

"Frankly speaking, the biggest feature of the iPhone 5 smartphone is that it removes the keyboard and replaces it with a multi-touch screen!"

Speaking of this, Wu Huahan not only admired Zhao Ye's foresight.

From the very beginning, the iPhone series mobile phones have been running towards smartphones.

From the operating system to processor technology, camera technology, battery technology, screen technology... In the end, it just changed the use of the screen, and actually created a new era!

Everyone knows very well what kind of wave will be set off when the smartphone iPhone5 is released!
It is not an empty statement that a mobile phone can change people's lives.

"Professor Wu Huahan, is the glass of iPhone 5 tough enough? The screen cannot be broken just because of a casual drop. This will seriously affect the sales of the mobile phone." Zhao Ye asked.

Wu Huahan said confidently: "The 'Xuanwu Tempered Kunlun Glass' we developed together with Zeiss is extremely tough. To put it bluntly, Xuanwu Tempered Kunlun Glass is the toughest glass in the world. As long as the phone is dropped hard enough, it will still It will be intact!"

After saying that, Wu Huahan asked someone to bring an iPhone 5 prototype, and then pretended to fall off the edge of the desk inadvertently.

boom!
The phone hit the ground.

Wu Huahan then bent down to pick up the phone.

"Look, Director Zhao, the phone screen is still not broken!" Wu Huahan said with a smile.

Zhao Ye visually checked the height of the desk. It was almost at the same level as an ordinary person's trouser pocket. If the phone accidentally falls out of the trouser pocket, it will generally not be broken.

Wu Huahan pointed at the screen and introduced: "In addition, we have also added some special nano-crystalline particles to the glass to significantly improve the strength and wear resistance of the basalt tempered Kunlun glass!"

"Well, not bad!" Zhao Ye nodded slightly and smiled, "Let's go and take a look at the battery!"

"Okay, Director Zhao, please go this way. Since smartphones have large screens and consume a lot of power, the ordinary lithium batteries on the market can no longer meet our requirements, so we chose to have in-depth cooperation with Wujiang Battery Company to let them Develop customized batteries for our iPhone smartphones!" Wu Huahan responded, took Zhao Ye to an experimental bench, and took out a battery from it.

It’s true that the size of the phone is the same as the battery.

Zhao Ye took the rectangular battery from Wu Huahan's hand and observed it on his mobile phone. He felt that it was quite heavy and expected that the energy density of this battery was very high. "Professor Wu Huahan, how long can this battery last?" Zhao Ye asked.

Wu Huahan sighed slightly: "If it is on standby, it will last about 30 hours. But if you keep watching videos, it will last for at most 3 hours before the battery runs out."

Function phones have a long standby time and a long normal use time.

However, Zhao Ye was used to the situation where his smartphone could only be used for a few hours in his previous life, so he could accept what Wu Huahan just said.

"If you are playing with your phone and charging it at the same time, is the safety and stability of the battery sufficient?" Zhao Ye asked. This is very important. Most smartphone users charge while playing with their phone at home.

In the previous life, Samsung led the world in sales of mobile phones. Later, a Samsung "bomb machine" was released, which frightened many users.When people mention Samsung later, they think of the explosion of Samsung mobile phones. Who dares to buy Samsung mobile phones?

"The safety and stability are very good! But..." Wu Huahan said with certainty. They have repeatedly tested the battery and basically there is no problem.

"Wujiang Battery Company is developing a new type of lithium-ion battery that uses a carbon negative electrode made of graphite material to replace the original metal lithium negative electrode. This technology can be called a 'revolutionary breakthrough in lithium-ion batteries'. The use of carbon negative electrodes can reduce the battery's weight and cost, while improving the safety and cycle life of the battery. In the future, the application scope of lithium batteries will be further expanded and can be extended to electric vehicles, energy storage systems, aerospace and other fields..."

"Wujiang Battery Company plans to name this battery "Thor Battery". I thought to myself, if iPhone5 can be equipped with "Thor Battery", it will definitely improve the user experience of smartphones! "

As an epoch-making product, iPhone5 still hopes to make it perfect.

"Thor Battery" can at least double the battery capacity, allowing you to watch online movies for six hours without running out of power. It is enough for office workers to use during the day and charge when they go home at night.

Zhao Ye smiled when he heard this, "No problem, of course we have to present the best things to consumers! Furthermore, the 3G network has not yet been rolled out, so releasing the iPhone 5 so early will not be very effective."

This morning, Zhao Ye has been in the iPhone R&D department and has a very detailed understanding of the development progress of iPhone5.

By next year, that is, in 2003, after the 3G network is rolled out, iPhone5 smartphones can be produced.

Before that, there is actually a lot to do.

It’s not enough to just have a smartphone, you also have to have a software ecosystem, including a variety of apps.

By noon, Zhao Ye was already hungry, so he ate directly in the cafeteria of the iPhone Research Building.

In terms of food, needless to say.The food in Wujiang Group's own canteen is better than that of many restaurants, including Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine and other Chinese cuisines, as well as Russian specialties, French cuisine, Italian cuisine , Japanese food, Indian food...

There are so many dishes that it’s almost dizzying.

The key is that employees of Wujiang Group come to the canteen to eat for free.

It's buffet style, so you can take what you want and don't waste it.

As long as you visit the Wujiang Group's canteen once, you can't help but make a sound of envy.

This benefit is really enviable to others.

Zhao Ye was eating at this time and thinking about whether it was too early to start the mobile Internet era in 2003.

Apple's iPhone 4 smartphone will not be released until 2010.

However, the smartphone technology I have reserved here has matured...

Zhao Ye then thought about whether Wujiang Group could form a technical patent barrier if it launched a smartphone, making it difficult for competitors to shake its position.

Zhao Ye thought for a long time, and before he knew it, lunch was already finished.

He then said goodbye to Wu Huahan and others, and returned to his large office in Wujiang Building to continue thinking about the previous issues.

He thought over and over again and felt that it was necessary to make the patent barriers for smartphones stronger.

If you don't take action, it will make your competitors despair!

But Wujiang Group has the strength to do it!
Zhao Ye walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down from a high position, and looked into the distance with his eyes, which were deep and bright. After a while, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he suddenly laughed, thinking, besides himself, who else in the world knows smartphones better?

Facing the storm of smartphones, even if Nokia and Motorola are not as enterprising as in their previous lives, they still cannot compete with Wujiang Group!
