Upgrade The World From Hongmeng

Chapter 36-The Reason for the Box

After lunch, take a break, and the “Hongmeng Smart Box” project team ushered in the closed-door defense meeting of the review team.

The meeting was still presided over by Vice Principal Cheng, and behind the review team, there were five young men in formal attire, three men and two women. They all seemed to be in their thirties. They knew Vice Principal Cheng very well.

Chen Qiaomu asked Director Zhang privately about the identities of these people, and the answer was that he had never seen them.

“The defense meeting, now officially begins, the first question of the review team: Why do you need the’Hongmeng Smart Box’ device to build intelligent application scenarios? I hope you can answer carefully. After all, this project is the most controversial issue in the society. !”

As soon as Vice President Cheng came up, he went straight to the subject, because the review team felt that the intelligent scenes demonstrated by the project team were promising, but the “Hongmeng Smart Box” equipment was not necessary in these scenes.

“I elaborate on this issue from three aspects.”

“First of all, the device of the’Hongmeng Smart Box’ is positioned as a unified external interface for the application system.”

“We use the command level of the army as an example. For a mechanized combined brigade, the most basic combat unit is the vehicle group, and the highest command organization is the brigade command post. Assume that there is no command level in the middle. Directly issued, so there will be a problem, the brigade command post will be very bloated, because from the brigade commander’s combat determination to the single-vehicle task execution, there will be issues such as the detailed decomposition of combat tasks, the selection of unit tactics, and the coordinated combat of vehicles and groups. Therefore, it is necessary to set up the five command levels of brigade, battalion, company, platoon, and vehicle group.”

“‘Hongmeng Smart Box’ is a solution to the problem of hierarchical management of application scenarios. In the’remote tutoring interaction’ scenario, the surveillance cameras, TVs, tablets, mobile phones, speakers and other equipment at the primary school students’ homes will be managed by a Hongmeng Smart box management and authorization, this whole set of equipment forms a solution to the problem of’remote supervision of left-behind children’.”

“When the ‘remote family education interaction’ application scenario needs to complete the ‘remote supervision of left-behind children’, you only need to issue the instructions to the Hongmeng Smart Box, which manages the equipment, and the box can complete the task and distribute by itself.”

“In this way, we can create a network-like large-scale application scenario by invoking different solutions, and realize the concept of the real Internet of Everything. This avoids it and allows users to save a lot of money on their own, like DIY computers. Independent small systems that cannot be connected to each other cause repeated investment and waste resources.”

“Especially in terms of industrial intelligence, there are a lot of devices that need to be connected, and device applications are gridded to form the Internet of everything. Faced with such a complex application scenario, a device like the’Hongmeng Smart Box’ is needed to connect everything. Network hierarchical management allows various scenarios and applications to quickly find corresponding solutions, and realize the interconnection and mutual assistance of all things at a high speed.”

“Teacher Chen, I want to ask a question. In the solution, if I want to call a certain part of the device, how can I achieve it?”

A professor in the review team raised a very professional technical question.

“We still take the command of the military as an example. As a battalion commander, he naturally has the capabilities of company commander, platoon commander, and vehicle group. The’Hongmeng Smart Box’ can have multiple solutions built in, allowing the equipment to be freely combined to adapt to different application scenarios. Call demand.”

Chen Qiaomu gave a reasonable explanation.

“The problem is clarified, please continue, Teacher Chen.” The professor said with satisfaction.

“Okay, let’s continue.”

“Secondly, the’Hongmeng Smart Box’ also provides transfer services for old equipment to access the Hongmeng system.”

“At present, most of the electrical appliances in our home use the ancient song system, and the systems used in the industrial field are even more diverse. If these old equipment are to be intelligent, they must find a way to connect to the Internet of everything created by the Hongmeng system.”

“At the moment, old home appliances and old equipment need to replace the ancient song system with the Hongmeng system. There is still a lot of resistance. Before the large-scale popularization of application scenarios, major electrical appliance manufacturers have no incentive to develop system upgrade packages. For this problem, we can only work with manufacturers to create an old equipment upgrade platform, so that when the “Hongmeng Smart Box” is connected to the old equipment, it can find the corresponding hardware app converter by searching for the upgrade platform to complete the intelligentization of the equipment upgrade.”

“Finally, the’Hongmeng Smart Box’ can provide a strong guarantee for the rapid deployment of intelligent scenarios.”

“Assuming that a customer wants to build a scenario of’remote supervision of left-behind children’, he only needs to purchase our full set of equipment, and we can help the customer use the “Hongmeng Smart Box” to connect all the equipment in the factory, and register online to open online education. Resources, when customers get the equipment, they only need a simple installation and can be used directly.”

“And without this box, customers would have to use mobile phones or tablets, connect devices one by one, and register for online education resources by themselves. I am afraid that a lot of things will not be possible for a day or two. Customer experience The feeling will be very bad. Especially for customers who have old devices at home that need to be connected, they have to download the corresponding app converter by themselves. If they can’t find it, they have to buy a new device instead. The threshold for intelligence will be greatly increased!”

“That’s why, I want to seek R&D funding from the school to set up this project. The online controversy is actually due to a hardware reviewer who is not clear about the basic concept of the Internet of Everything, and the evaluation has misled the society. Public opinion has caused a deep misunderstanding among the public.”

Chen Qiaomu had finished his presentation, and the review team in the audience began to discuss.

“Ms. Chen, why didn’t you use the current version when you sent samples to Zhongyu Electronics?”

Vice President Cheng asked the doubts in his mind, and there must be a reasonable explanation for the trouble.

“At the beginning, the person who contacted me for samples was Xiao Ziming, a student in charge of market development at Zhongyu Electronics. He said that he would need a few’Hongmeng Smart Boxes’ for performance testing. I thought he was going to test the hardware performance, so I sent a few. Give him an empty box with no core applications installed.”

“I read the project development copy you submitted. Are the hardware and software of this project developed separately?”

A professor asked in surprise.

“This is no way, because the research and development funds are only 1 million, and the students I bring are all freshmen in the first year. The purpose of this project is to train them and familiarize themselves with some basic concepts of intelligent hardware development. ”

“I have indicated in the project application that this is a school-enterprise cooperation project. The software part is developed by our alumnus Wu Hao, who founded Haotian Technology. The’Western Restaurant Smart Store Management System’ he developed has been developed. Acquired by the Great Arch Group, he is a technology pioneer in the development of intelligent scenes. The experience he has gained in the market is worth letting students experience.”

Chen Qiaomu gave his own explanation.

The review team and the people behind them heard that the research and development funds were only 1 million yuan, and their jaws were about to drop.

“One million can make a project like this, it’s already very remarkable…” Everyone was discussing it underneath.

“How long will it take for the’Hongmeng Smart Box’ to enter the market?” Vice President Cheng continued to ask.

“To be honest, the hardware development of the’Hongmeng Smart Box’ has now been stopped, but the development of the software is continued.”

“Why stop? Is it because the funds are not enough?”

Chen Qiaomu showed the analysis report Wu Hao had given him to Vice President Cheng.

Vice President Cheng discussed with several people behind him, and after reaching an agreement, he said: “Mr. Chen, from now on, the school will fully support the project of “Hongmeng Smart Box”. The school-owned enterprise, Logan Group will also participate. Come in, these few people behind me are the members of this project team…”
