God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 201 Academic Committee

After demonstration, they felt that a portable solid-state multimedia player could be made.

Play audio and video data on a small portable player through a memory and a dedicated decoder chip.

The reason why the word solid-state is emphasized is to distinguish it from Walkmans, tape recorders, and other devices.

They also registered a series of patents.

Because Chen Weidong often emphasized that if you do not register these patents, they will be registered by foreigners in the future, and then we will charge our patent fees in turn.

Many related examples were also cited.

So now the whole company, as long as there is something of value, it will be registered as a patent first. As for whether it is used or not, that's another story!
Even if you don't develop it yourself, it's great to sell it for money!
The company also has a special department to help them apply, so there is no trouble at all.

With the current technical strength of Infinity Company, it is not difficult to make such a small thing, but because of the problem of the screen, they can only decide to make a device for playing music first.

That is, the MP3 of later generations.

When they were mass-produced and sold, they became popular all over the country in an instant.

Because it is so small, only the size of two fingers, and the shell is also made of matte material, which is very technological.

Fully charged once, it can be used continuously for a week.

The memory has also reached 2GB.

However, soon Chen Weidong received a call from Sony and Kazuo Hirai.

He kept complaining on the phone, saying that Chen Weidong plagiarized and made the product they were developing ahead of time, which brought them huge losses.

Chen Weidong laughed on the spot. According to his memory, Sony launched the MP3 in 2001, and it is still in the laboratory stage.

However, they took the lead for more than a year and came up with the finished product. Who copied whom?
And even if he copied it, so what.

During this period, domestic copying of foreign things was ignored, and the relevant laws were still far from perfect.

However, in order not to make the relationship too tense, Chen Weidong still told him that they can develop "MP4" together in the future, a portable device that can play videos.

This requires the use of their LCD screen technology.

And Kazuo Hirai also because there is not enough evidence, this matter can only let it go.

These small episodes cannot affect the general direction of the company.

Chen Weidong is most concerned about the six scientific laboratories.

"Chaos" can still be used to describe it now.

A group of researchers from the Precision Research Institute, a group of people with a system, go in and out of a private company every day, is this appropriate?

And it's still free.

Even if they have any research results, they have nothing to do with Infinity Corporation.

All results belong to the Precision Research Institute.

Who can bear this.

Do you really think their company is a charity?

People who are not from the company must be treated differently of course!

After Chen Weidong returned to the company, he immediately held a meeting and asked the researchers of the Precision Research Institute to make a decision within one month whether to stay in the original unit or choose to join their company.

You can only choose one of the two.

If you choose to stay in the original unit, you will not be able to enter their company's laboratory casually in the future. You must go through a strict background check and submit an application before you can be released.

In addition, Chen Weidong also set up an academic committee, which is responsible for approving the project topics of the company's internal scientific research personnel.

If the company feels that the scientific research project you submitted has no commercial value, it will directly affect your research funding allocation for the next quarter
This directly excludes many people who want to dawdle.

Everyone can basically agree with this result, because even in foreign countries, most scientific research institutions mainly participate in commercial research, and it is ideal to squeeze out a little time to engage in research content that you like.

This also means that many people have to give up their basic research that has been done for more than ten years.

This is really cruel to them.

Basic research is very important, but in this regard, many domestic research institutes are actually doing better than them.

In terms of basic research, no one can compare with domestic research institutes.

This level of solidity, even foreign scientific research institutions, has to admit it.

It is mainly basic research, and it is too difficult to produce results. It is even more difficult and costly to transform it into a commodity.

Although Infinity Corporation likes to do charity, it is absolutely impossible to be a philanthropist in terms of scientific research.

They are not a public institution after all.

As a commercial company, we must talk about benefits and return on investment.

Things that are not beneficial, under special circumstances, he doesn't mind doing them.

But usually, it is impossible for him to invest limited funds into the bottomless pit of basic research.

Because it is very likely that a valuable researcher will spend more than ten years, or even a lifetime, in a research with no future!

Therefore, the role of this academic committee is to evaluate the following researchers, whether the projects they are working on have commercial value, and whether they are worth investing in research.

As for the members, there are only Professor Kruger and Ni Guangnan for the time being.

Afterwards, it will gradually expand to ten people.

Only academic leaders or senior researchers in a certain discipline of the company are eligible to become one of them.

Ten people will vote to fairly and impartially evaluate each researcher's project topic.

At the beginning, Chen Weidong and Professor Kruger discussed the main research directions. After more than half a year of in-depth research, they have achieved certain results in all aspects.

In addition to the consolidation of some basic research and the in-depth exploration of some fields, the results of this half year mainly focus on breakthroughs in supercomputers and chips.

The company uses the best.

Due to the advancement of lithography technology, after testing, the performance of the chips they manufactured will be about 20.00% higher than the products on the market!
According to the improved design drawings of Professor Kruger and Ni Guangnan, the structure of the chip is more compact, and there is also a lot of space for heat dissipation. The stability test has not yet been carried out, but there is a high probability that it will not be much worse.

No one would have imagined that when the island country manufactured the fastest computer in the world, with a speed of 10 trillion operations per second, Infinity followed closely behind, and soon built two sets with a speed of more than 15 trillion operations per second. times supercomputer!
This is still a stable running speed, not the kind that takes the highest peak value and uses it to deceive people!
Because the computer cannot exert its full efficiency during operation, and in many cases it is only 30.00% to 60.00% of the peak speed.

Only a few people in the company know about this matter, otherwise if it gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar!
Not to mention the influence of the world, even some domestic research institutes, those research units that require a large amount of calculations, will definitely overwhelm their companies in minutes.

There are only a few supercomputers in China with only 3 trillion calculations.

Usually, you have to write an application before using it. After approval, you have to queue up. It's their turn to use it. It is an extremely complicated calculation and the result will be obtained soon.

Every unit that has conducted auxiliary research with the help of supercomputers has a deep understanding of this.

Another important topic is the research of precision instruments.

Although they brought back a batch of sophisticated equipment from the island country, their goal was not just to use it as a tool.

Not to mention improvement, at least to the extent that it can be imitated.

Therefore, the company has set up an instrument research group to carry out localization research on these precision instruments.

After all, instruments are also consumables, and there will always be a day when they will be eliminated, and they have no purchase channels, so they must take the road of independent research and development, even if a few devices are broken, they will not hesitate!

[-], February.

Chen Weidong and Chen Jie finally put down their busy work and prepared to return to their hometown for the Spring Festival.

It's just that Li Xi'er will follow her to death.
