I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 52 U disk development success

"Old Tang, is the problem solved?"

Hearing that Tang Xingchang said that the test would be retested, Lin Xiao was immediately excited.

Tang Xingchang nodded and said: "Before, it would burn out as soon as it was plugged into the computer. The voltage is unstable, so I added a voltage stabilizing resistor and optimized the entire circuit design. It should be ok."

While speaking, Tang Xingchang inserted the gadget in his hand into the computer again.

This time, the screen of the computer did not go black instantly, and when the flash drive was fully inserted, a prompt popped up in the lower right corner of the computer.

Driver is being installed.

"The computer has recognized it!" Seeing this scene, Tang Xingchang immediately said in a low voice.

While talking, he quickly opened "My Computer". After a few seconds, an icon that looked like a hard disk logo appeared on the interface.

Tang Xingchang, who was staring at the screen closely, clicked on the icon with almost trembling hands. The next moment, a blank interface appeared in front of Lin Xiao and the two of them.

Become!

This thought arose in the hearts of both of them at the same time, and Lin Xiao saw that the expression on the old professor's face became a little excited.

"Old Tang, try to see if you can store files."

Lin Xiao reminded Tang Xingchang immediately, and Tang Xingchang came to his senses. He manipulated the mouse to create a blank document on the computer desktop, then copied the document, and clicked and pasted it on the blank flash drive.

The next moment, there was a newly created file in the flash drive that was originally empty.

It's done!
Looking at this scene, Lin Xiao excitedly said to Tang Xingchang: "Old Tang, you have successfully developed it!"

"Yes, it worked!" Tang Xingchang's voice trembled slightly.

"Flash disk! After 20 years, we Chinese people have finally made our own inventions in the field of computer storage."

Lin Xiao looked at Tang Xingchang whose eyes were a little red but his eyes revealed light, and immediately said to him:

"Old Tang, you will definitely be included in the annals of China's computer field with this invention."

"I didn't invent this, it was you."

Tang Xingchang shook his head suddenly at this time, looked at Lin Xiao, and said without taking any credit:

"Creativity is what you think, and the design idea of ​​the entire flash drive is also based on your ideas. Using the USB interface to connect the flash memory chip, and even adding the main control chip are also inspired by you."

"Your idea, even if you don't come to me, find someone else who understands this industry, and you can develop it with some time."

Hearing what Tang Xingchang said, Lin Xiao sighed at the old professor's modesty on the one hand, and jumped with joy on the other hand.

He doesn't care about the honor of inventing the USB flash drive, but he cares about the result of this invention.

Seeing the old professor like this, if he proposes how to use the invention, it seems that the other party will not object.

"Mr. Tang, do you think this works? This invention is the result of the two of us together. Of course, you put the name first. With your prestige in the industry, this invention is more convincing."

Tang Xingchang nodded after listening, and said, "That's fine."

"Well, then, this flash drive is not very easy to remember and has no image, why don't we call it a USB flash drive." Lin Xiao suggested.

Tang Xingchang's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he said: "Using a USB-linked flash drive, referred to as U disk, this name is very good, it is easy to remember, and it also has a very vivid image."

"Xiaolin, so, this idea is ultimately yours, so you can have so many understandings of your own."

While accepting Tang Xingchang's praise, Lin Xiao was preparing to raise the most important thing, about the application of this invention.

"Mr. Tang, in fact, the technological invention of the USB flash drive is not very advanced." Lin Gong pondered for a while, and continued:

"I think people in other countries may soon think of such an idea, so if we want to make the USB flash drive a unique invention in China, there are two things that must be done quickly."

"Which two things?" Tang Xingchang was obviously very concerned about the issue of national ownership of the U disk invention, so he couldn't wait to ask.

"First, we must submit patent applications immediately, including domestic patents and PCT patents (international invention patents), as well as countries and regions such as the United States and Europe, we must apply for invention patent authorization."

Tang Xingchang nodded immediately after listening, and replied: "That's right, we must apply for a patent right away, so that we can finally confirm that this invention belongs to us, what about the other one?"

Lin Xiao replied: "The other is industrialization. The reason why the United States can have so many inventions known to people all over the world is because their scientific and technological achievements are well transformed, and after they develop something, they can be quickly industrialized."

"It takes time to apply for a patent. If we don't industrialize this USB flash drive quickly, once someone else produces it, we won't have patent protection for the time being, and we won't be able to stop others. When our patent application is completed, the market will already belong to others."

"You're right." Hearing Lin Xiao's answer, Tang Xingchang nodded again.

Seeing Tang Xingchang nodding, Lin Xiao immediately threw out the most crucial proposal.

"So Mr. Tang, I plan to set up a company to produce this U disk, and the patent application is also in the name of the company, so I hope Mr. Tang will not tell the school about this invention before the company is formally established and the patent is submitted. .”

"You are worried that the school will try to grab this invention patent." Hearing this, Tang Xingchang smiled and looked at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded and replied, "Mr. Tang, you also said just now that this is the first time in the past 20 years that China has made its own invention in the field of computer storage. If the school knows about it, it will naturally want to have this honor."

"However, to be honest, our domestic universities do have a lot of good scientific research achievements, but they have done a mediocre job in the transformation of scientific research achievements. If this invention is used by the school to apply, I am worried that it will end up lying in the laboratory. inside."

"The transformation of scientific and technological achievements." Tang Xingchang sighed, "It's not just our school, but all colleges and universities across the country are like this, alas."

"Since you have such an idea, I fully support you. I will not disclose this invention to anyone."

Hearing Tang Xingchang's promise, Lin Xiao was overjoyed immediately, and he immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, but it won't take long. I will immediately set up a company to apply for a patent, and then recruit one or two suitable people, and start preparing for it." Find a factory to produce."

"Do you want to find someone to help you run the company?" Tang Xingchang asked.

"Well, we need to find an experienced manager." Lin Xiao replied that the technology and products are all there. If you want to set up a company, the most important thing is management.

Firstly, I am still in school, so the time cannot be completely guaranteed. Secondly, management is also a very professional thing, and I need professional help.

"Hey, I do have a student who came to see me yesterday or two days ago. He is one of the most outstanding students I have brought. He studied in the United States before and worked as a manager in a large foreign company. He has been back to China for several years. I heard that I recently resigned from another company, do you want to meet?"

"That's good!" Lin Xiao responded immediately. An experienced manager is very difficult to find. Since he can be praised by Tang Xingchang, he must be a talent.

What I lack most now is talent.
