Rebirth: Fight For Life

   Chapter 413 Smartphone R&D Competition

   On both sides of the ocean, two companies that are entering the smartphone industry have entered the rhythm of intensive work.

   After two months, Jobs has come out of the mood of worrying about gains and losses.

  The only change is that the pace of iphone research and development has accelerated.

  Need people need money? Stack it up in the R&D team!

   The hardware may be worse? It doesn't matter, your thinking must be right! Through system-level optimization, achieve the best experience!

   When it comes to design, Apple has always been a trendsetter!

  In terms of marketing, Apple has rich experience and a consistently excellent reputation!

   Even though the mp3 field has been blocked by rovers to a certain extent, sales and performance are rising rapidly.

   Jobs still felt confident, and even said that even the first-generation iPhone was no better than Rover in terms of hardware. But wait until the second and third generation, the evolution of iphone will definitely absorb his strengths and climb to a higher height!

"Oh no, no, the screen thing has long been decided. We have to pay attention to battery life! From the perspective of battery performance, a 3.5-inch screen is the most suitable, and a mobile phone of this size has the most perfect handheld experience! Don't do this anymore. Bring it up, focus on other untapped areas, guys! Can we speed it up? Speed ​​it up! I don't want to be disrupted, instead, we're going to take the pioneer seat. Tell me, 4 months ahead to August time, can you do it?"

   "This...this is so hard!"

Jobs shook his head firmly: "We can't wait until the scheduled release. Don't bet on what impression we'll make on the world if the rover's phone is also ahead of its time? Followers! No, Apple has always been a pioneer. By!"

   "Oh my god! It's not something we can do, Steve! Too much design and testing is yet to be done!"

"But it's also not the time for us to fear difficulties! Gentlemen, this is a key battle in the grand strategy for Apple! We can only think about how to win! What needs to be done, we have to do it! Now, we Need to get everything done in August and have a fall launch in early September!" Jobs stared at his colleagues: "Listen, I talked to Gu Song from the rover. He may not know that Apple is working on a phone, maybe he does. But he Very confident! Very, gentlemen! We must assume that it is also a good product, even as great as the iPhone!"

"If the opponent is an equally excellent product, how can we guarantee that after the other party has announced or even listed, our first-generation iPhone will still have the halo of a pioneer and have a better reputation and experience? Three or four months, Do we still have to temporarily change the plan to improve the iteration? It's too late! Only spend more time now! Stop arguing here, listen to me! Hurry up and act!"

   was like a race between the rovers and the apples.

   But to save time... Jobs really didn't know what kind of opponent he was facing.

  Rebs also fell into a certain degree of autism.

  Why...Why did the product development department struggle with the problem for so long, and it was solved overnight.

  Qu Chen sat across from him, and was obviously self-isolating.

  The distribution of cables...Antenna and microphone...Lens...The screen is bigger, the thickness is not reduced, but it is a little thinner.

   With such a layout, it looks more compact, and it seems that the craftsmanship is too difficult, but...is there a special crafting solution? Airframe integrated processing plan?

   One night, is this what people do?

   "You said... what is the purpose of our existence?"

Qu Chen didn't know how to answer Mr. Lei's question, so he could only say: "Probably we are limited in our thinking. We always consider how to do it with our current technological capabilities. But this plan... obviously requires , how should I put it, train the foundry to innovate the process. This idea... At the beginning, we also thought about it, we are going to do it when the second and third generation products are prepared, because the first generation products need to have a very good market. Word of mouth, there will be a reason for the foundry to invest in follow-up..."

  Rebs sighed: "Now, isn't the processing cost higher?"

"It won't be higher!" Gu Song just opened the door and came in, "It is also necessary to take into account the policy environment, the company's own demands for the improvement of core competitiveness, and the progress of technology and craftsmanship. Zhonghu Provincial Council has given very favorable conditions, The epoch-making smartphone will drive the overall upgrade of the industrial chain, and whoever keeps up first will win! Besides, the rise of domestic equipment will bring the price of cutting-edge processing equipment down to a reasonable level.”

  Rebs could only look at him and ask, "How did you finish it in one night?"

  Gu Song said mysteriously: "Am I not studying artificial intelligence? I simulated some algorithms with supercomputing, which saved a lot of time."

  Rebs was struck by lightning: "Artificial intelligence? Damn, you have a breakthrough so soon?"

"Why is it so fast, it's not the kind of artificial intelligence you think, that is, I first disassembled the problem in great detail, and let the supercomputing help me do some analysis. In addition, I don't have those limitations in my thinking, so I took it. Here comes the plan."

  Rebs grabbed his arm: "Is it so simple? If you have such a good tool, take it out and use it together!"

"Imature, immature..." Gu Song said with a haha, "I came here to discuss with you, in short, try to be as amazing as possible. In terms of craftsmanship, as long as it is determined, the rover's factory will upgrade the production line first. The first generation machine The production capacity demand of the company will not be very large, but the main thing is to amaze the world. So the engineering prototype, if it really can't be done, will be done in the laboratory!"

   "You also come and help to look at the operating system..."

  Rebs caught him and refused to let go.

  Gu Song was not ready to run. Smartphones are related to a huge source of profit in the future, and he was prepared to do so.

   The upgrade of "Xie Xiaobao" disrupted the rhythm, and for more than a month after returning to China, he was busy making some layout adjustments again, and started things in the fields of scientific research and aerospace earlier.

   After all, these are the ultimate goals, and there are hangs in the mind, so don’t panic.

   Just like Rebs and Qu Chen were made a bit autistic, as long as you make time to solve the problems of smartphone design, craftsmanship and software, wouldn’t it only be a matter of a few nights?

  Xiangshan Bieyuan has a lot of equipment in the underground laboratory, and the process is naturally verified to a certain extent. It is also feasible in terms of mass production, and the cost is controllable.

   He looked at the operating system problem that Rebs had pulled up now, and switched "Xie Xiaobao" to the focused computing mode.

"This memory calling mechanism can be further optimized. Different applications can set a priority according to their characteristics. Although it is multi-tasking, it does not mean that all applications are supported by default at the same time. The highest priority is to ensure that the system runs smoothly. "

   "The interactive effect of this switch is complicated... The touch operation requires some imagination. I think this type of page switch can be realized directly through the algorithm to recognize the touch operation in the edge area of ​​the screen."

   "The screen snapshot can be considered in the form of physical buttons, gyroscopes and touch combinations. In short, it is to reduce steps and speed up response..."

  …

  Rebs and Qu Chen endured their inner discomfort as diligent elementary school students, constantly memorizing new ideas.

   The powerlessness of being crushed is blended with the pleasure of discovering a new world.
