industrial maniac

North America, New York State.

Rochester, where Kodak is headquartered.

Under the gloomy sky, the city known as the center of the world's images, except for dead branches and rotten leaves everywhere, there is no sign of people.

The streets, reflecting the dead branches and leaves in winter, look particularly desolate.

On the outskirts of the city, army cards intercepted and sealed off, teams of personnel wearing biochemical protective suits were ready to go, and rescue tents produced by joint defense were endless outside the blockade area.

On the morning of January 1, North American time, the University of Rochester suddenly detected a small amount of harmful radiation.

In order to further confirm the accuracy of the data, the research team randomly set up six monitoring points in the urban area of ​​Rochester. When it was noon, they were shocked to find that the radiation value was rising at a rate of 11 times per hour.

At 19 p.m. on the 1th, Kodak’s internal engineers confirmed that the reactor located in the basement of Kodak’s headquarters was out of control due to design flaws in the control rods, and the condensed water suddenly solidified, causing major problems in the cooling system. Now the core temperature is rising rapidly. , the entire reactor is about to melt and explode.

Half an hour later, according to expert research, this refrigerator-sized reactor contained 1.5 kilograms of enriched uranium. Once it exploded, the entire Rochester would cease to exist, and a [-]-kilometer radius would become a high-radiation zone.

Residents of Rochester, shocked by the emergency notification, questioned the news.

How could Kodak have a reactor?

Soon, CNN gave an answer, telling that since the 70s, Kodak has carried out research on rays, and obtained authorization to build reactors through relationships, with the purpose of improving cameras and film.

The more than [-] citizens of Rochester, after knowing the inside story, saw the arrival of the National Guard, representatives of the North American Army, and biochemical experts...

All of a sudden panicked.

By this time, no one was free to protest, and some were just fleeing.

19th at 3pm.

Biochemical experts and nuclear engineering professionals leaked out that the reactor that was about to melt down was helpless and needed a research cycle.

At 3:10, representatives of the National Guard and the North American Military Department withdrew from the scene...

This means that Rochester may indeed become history and seriously affect New York State.

It also means that Kodak will face the most serious fine and compensation problem in history.

On the evening of the 19th, facing the rapidly shrinking filing market and the unknown amount of compensation, Kodak shareholders filed for bankruptcy overnight.

In the early hours of the 20th, North American biochemical experts and nuclear engineers tried many times, such as replacing the control rods, slowing down the reaction speed, and attenuating nuclear materials in advance... all due to various restrictions, the attempts failed.

At 20 o'clock in the morning on the 3th, the expert team withdrew.

Rochester became a restricted area.

New York State entered a state of wartime control.

At 20 a.m. on the 8th, TEP engineers proposed to inject boric acid water to reduce the reaction speed, and then use armed robots to destroy the fuel rods.

It’s just that the area where the fuel rods are located is surrounded by concrete walls more than ten meters thick. If robots are used to excavate and destroy the fuel rods, the implementation process of the plan will be very slow and may last for 10 to 15 days. Hours will increase by 11 times, and in 10 days it will reach one-third of the central area of ​​Chernobyl, which will cause great harm to the physical and mental health of the 50 construction workers and require huge medical insurance funds.

In addition, nuclear radiation needs to be isolated, and a protective zone with a radius of at least ten kilometers should be built to avoid operation failure and blasting, and 50 construction workers need death subsidies.

North American nuclear professional engineers do not agree with the feasibility of this scheme.

But Xiaobu, who had just become the general manager, and New York State, did not want something more terrible to happen, and finally ordered Kodak to pay 20 billion dollars in emergency rescue costs, and authorized United Defense to lead the operation.

At 20 a.m. on the 11th, the TEP Emergency Rescue Team took over Rochester, the United Defense Nuclear Engineering Dismantling Team entered the venue, and TEP Chairman James personally went into battle...

However, relevant news was blocked, and even CNN's previous reports were deleted.

In Xiaobu's words: Rochester is not the next Chernobyl, and likewise, it cannot become our scandal!

then.

On the 21st, the news of Kodak's bankruptcy due to "power bank" spread all over the world.

With the hot sales of digital products, the Kodak film market is already facing serious challenges. Now the popular power bank suddenly has a digital camera function, and the film market is further sluggish. It seems no surprise that Kodak went bankrupt.

As for Canon and Nikon, why are they not affected?
The power bank is added to the camera just for entertainment and convenience, how can it compare to a professional camera?
Moreover, Canon and Nikon have already entered the digital field.

Experts from North America and Wajima are well-informed in their analysis.

If Xu Fei didn't know the inside story, he would have almost believed it.

To be honest, at the beginning, Gouzi was shocked when he found out that there was a reactor in Kodak headquarters.

Kodak is not a power station, nor is it a nuclear industry research institution. In an unattended basement, a reactor that looks like a refrigerator is locked, and it is still turned on. If Harden knows...

"The more than 20 citizens of Rochester should thank me."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I should be Master Xu now."

Xu Fei pondered for a moment, then picked up a list.

When it comes to Kodak, most people probably think of film.

In fact, Kodak also has a main business: OLED, and is the inventor of OLED. It has the world's most professional OLED screen controller research and development team and color tuning engineers.

It's just that OLED is expensive and cannot be put into commercial use, otherwise Kodak is very likely to reverse the defeat of film and become the world's top screen panel manufacturer. (Later, the technology and laboratory were packaged and sold to Samsung, and Samsung's screen became the world's top.)
It stands to reason that OLED uses organic thin films to emit light and mix them to form colors.

Our own XLED is to control the lights to turn on and off to form colors. There are great differences in technology and principle between the two.

But those who are engaged in cameras and film mainly play with color matching, and also research light-emitting diodes. The transition from OLED to XLED is not a problem at all.

So, get Kodak's OLED research team here, and I don't need to worry about screen panels, controllers, and color adjustments in the future...

The acquisition of Sega by RGB Co., Ltd. and the production of game software and hardware are not a problem.

"The next focus is to improve XLED, increase the shipments of charging treasures, MP3, and MP4, and then make the product to the extreme."

"As for other products..."

Xu Fei also thought about launching color-screen electronic watches, color-screen video doorbells, outdoor LEDs, and so on.

However, the Military Advisory Group suggested that we should continue to expand the influence of our own brand.

In other words, to support related enterprises, they only produce XLED panels, including supplying mobile phone screens, TV screens, and PC screens.

When the only company in the world that can make LED panels is the one that makes the most money.

At that time, who dares to say that we have a monopoly, we will stop production directly, leaving global electronics manufacturers without screens to use.

In addition, the brand image of the company is "machinery". If the business volume of electronic products surpasses that of mechanical products, the mechanical enthusiasts who have gathered in the early stage are very likely to be lost.

Therefore, in addition to ensuring the current shipments of electronic products, it is also necessary to study 'flywheel batteries' and launch 'pure mechanical toys'.

The principle of the battery is very simple, the internal vacuum, and then put into a motor made of carbon fiber material.

When charging, the external current drives the motor to accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again, making it keep running at high speed like a perpetual motion machine. When the speed reaches a certain value, the charging ends.

When discharging, the internal motor becomes a generator and outputs current until the kinetic energy is exhausted before charging.

Its energy utilization rate is as high as 95%, and it has the smallest size under the same power, and it is not limited by temperature and does not have any pollution.

The disadvantage is that once fully charged, the internal motor cannot stop until the kinetic energy is exhausted, regardless of whether the consumer uses it or not.

And limited by the principle, it can only be made into a cylindrical shape, and cannot be made into a flat shape.

But when disaster strikes, if the parent star is no longer habitable, this is currently the only electrical energy storage device suitable for long-term survival in space.

For example, solar energy cannot supply the entire space station, so we will deploy a few more solar sails, store the electric energy in the flywheel battery, and then transport it back to the space station, so as to ensure the survival needs of 13 billion people.

Of course, this matter is still far away, and the main task at present is to make the finished product.

Moreover, the flywheel battery is not produced by the base, nor does it have the high-tech "energy utilization rate increased by 20%".

Xu Fei thought for a long time, and distributed the rare earths transferred by the Inagawa Chamber of Commerce to various laboratories.

Then check out the intel on Hazara.

After Christmas, perhaps Raymond sensed that the Iraqi Krypton War was about to break out and stepped up his support for the Hadza.

Not only provided more special 80 heavy tanks, but also presented a large number of field running and ground-to-ground produced by Maoxiong...

The doubtful life of the Inagawa Chamber of Commerce and Wajima Self-Defense Forces being beaten has already carried out six reinforcements.

Now the two sides are fighting almost every day, and the number of casualties is rising steadily.

In order to cover up the casualties, the Hadzas arrested Tali ruthless people and used them as corpses, but they were also resisted and counterattacked by the other party.

As a result, the situation in the Hazara coalfield has evolved into:

The Hadza tribe in the west, the Self-Defense Forces in the middle, and the Tali ruthless people in the east.

History is indeed always strikingly similar.

Before that, it was Ironhide, Morgan, and the Hadza, a three-way melee.

Xu Fei thought for a while, and felt that Hazara had nothing to do with his family, so he simply looked at the next piece of information.

Bandai has finally put a new product on sale.

.........

Wajima, Tokyo, Bandai Namco Headquarters.

President Takasu Takehe, sitting in the corner of the meeting room, looked at the demonstration board in front of him and the programmers who were explaining, feeling a little absent-minded for a while.

The Ironhide Company was not a small business, and despite its severe losses, it still survived bankruptcy.

And with Mechanical Three Kingdoms and Kirov airships, two super profitable industries, it is only a matter of time before their strength is restored.

Bandai dared to confront this level of physical companies, and its courage came from the support of the North American House of Representatives, North American Wall Street, Wajima large and small toy manufacturers, and the $300 billion in cash raised.

Some of these groups hoped to suppress the Iron Sheet Company and asked for money.

Some hoped to bring down the Iron Sheet Company and ensure financial stability.

Some hoped to kill the Ironhide Company and regain the toy market.

In short, take what you need.

Logically speaking, with the backing of North America, and in the name of anti-monopoly investigations to suspend the sale of mechanical toys, the half-dead Iron Sheet Company would bow its head no matter what.

Unexpectedly, the mobile power supply, which had no market demand, was abruptly played by the other party.

First replace the mini-supercapacitors for the electric machinery Sangoku, and then persuade RGB Co., Ltd. to adopt the same solution.

No demand, create demand, mobile power sales surge.

When there is a demand, add the game console plan, use bundled sales, destroy the pet machine market in one fell swoop, and use equipment configuration to improve game playability, and raise the current game environment by several steps.

Just like Nintendo squeezing toothpaste, the GBA that is about to be slowly updated is forced to replace the TFT-LCD screen, larger memory, graphics card, and memory card. In addition, it is necessary to enhance the fineness of vector graphics and character stickers, otherwise it will be the same as charging. The treasures are put together, and the goods are compared and thrown away, completely reduced to an ultra-low-end game console that is not entry-level.

And when it comes to games...

Bandai has entered the field of video games since the 80s. After more than 20 years of development, it has also trained a large number of professionals.

From my own point of view, Ironhide's reloading mechanics are full of bugs.

For example, the character movement does not match the map environment, and a bunch of mosaics appear from time to time, indicating that the resource pack does not match the game engine, or there is a problem with the memory card.

For example, the release of the character's skills is not synchronized with the character's movements, and even the release of the skills, the character's feet do not move, but the overall displacement of several grids.

For example, the architectural model has no smoothness, and problems such as 'glass wall', 'molding', 'stuck somewhere', etc. often occur.

But the flaws do not conceal the virtues.

The design concept of this game is done ahead of time.

It can even be said that it points out a clear path for the current stand-alone games.

Interact with NPCs to play mini-games, change the way of opening boxes to dig treasures with a shovel, trigger hidden achievements through props and time, and have a very decompressed real-time battle...

Any of these items can arouse the curiosity of players, and then rely on the huge resource pack to immerse players in it and never tire of it.

Including him, the president of Bandai, even played for a day and a night.

In addition, the reloading mechanic has also added a cultivation system to build mechanical devices through synthesis and create mecha-like vehicles. It is said that the number of models is ten times that of the Mechanical Three Kingdoms and Gua Dynasty. In addition, there are automobiles, agricultural machinery, Motorcycles and more, this is simply invincible.

At least currently on the market, there is no stand-alone game that can compare with it, including none on the PC side.

The most important thing is that there is market demand, the product itself is not bad, the production capacity is scary, and Kirov's terrible transportation capacity...

To make an analogy:

The other party's new product will go offline tonight, and it will be available for sale in Berlin at noon tomorrow.

As for the new products of the company, it will take at least half a month for them to be shipped to the European region.

In business confrontation, time is the sharpest weapon.

Takasu Takehe thought it could not be delayed any longer, clapped his hands, and stopped the programmer's commentary: "Everyone, we are in a very critical situation. If we want to keep the video game market, we can no longer stay at the PPT stage. We must come up with a new product. Get it on sale as soon as possible."

"However, President, let's not talk about game consoles, only mobile power, Sony still hasn't given us a suitable purchase price for batteries."

"why?"

"Although lithium polymer batteries can be changed in shape, made flat, or even made into special-shaped batteries, Sony's technology in this area, not to mention the comparison with Iron Sheet, even BYD, they recommend using 18650 Lithium battery solution."

"What about purchasing lithium polymer batteries from BYD?"

"Biyadi signed a contract with Iron Sheet Company to manufacture the A-version power bank without a screen. According to the agreement, it cannot cooperate with us, otherwise it will face liquidated damages of more than 70 billion dollars."

"Then use the 18650 plan."

"In this way, with the casing and the game console, the thickness of our mobile power bank may be twice that of the A version of the power bank, reaching 3.5cm, and there is no 'fast charge'."

"Didn't Sony say that there is a supercapacitor?"

"They said yes at first, but later... we bought the engineers in the other laboratory. It is said that Sony's supercapacitors come from General Electric, and General Electric's supercapacitors are dismantled from Dahongqi to study aircraft catapults. It’s just that General Electric couldn’t do it, so it registered a patent in North America and then handed it over to Sony for research.”

Takehe Takasu was silent for a moment, "Since the patent of the supercapacitor is in the hands of General Electric, if the A-version power bank is sold in North America, will Tinhide need to pay the patent fee to General Electric?"

"General Electric is communicating with Ironhide, and they plan to exchange the patent for supercapacitors in exchange for the guarantee that 'Renipfei' will no longer short GE stock."

This is a confession.

Takasu Takehe didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Bandai Namco-The person in charge of the mobile power project explained: "The advent of supercapacitors, conventional dry batteries are facing a severe test. Romney has prepared funds to point to General Electric's main project in the civilian market. At this time, Iraq The Krypton War is about to start, and Wall Street’s energy is all on oil stocks and gold stocks, and there is no time to pay attention to leading technology stocks and technology concept stocks.”

"Forget about that, let's talk about the game console."

"Nintendo's plan is to use the same configuration as the A version of the power bank, but the time is too short, we can't make games with the same quality and concept, so Nintendo intends to win by volume and launch an N-in-one device.

In other words, you can experience all our and Nintendo's existing games with just one device and no need to change cards.However, there are too many games, and it is impossible to copy them all to the memory card. Therefore, an operating system is needed, so that you can install any game you want to play. Currently, Nintendo is in contact with Symbian, Pingo, and Microsoft.

Once there is an operating system, Nintendo and we can jointly build a game platform. At that time, with a huge player base, a more standardized application market will be formed, and if the Ironhide company is shut out, we will win. "

Takasu Takehe thought about it seriously, "How long will it take to make a prototype?"

"Based on the GBA and adding 18650 batteries, one week is enough."

"So, everyone, our main task now is to perfect the Gundam series of handheld games. With the design concept of the reloading mechanic as a reference, I believe that our work will become the main game of BGA, and it will be in time for the power bank to log in to Japan. Before the island, take the Japanese island market and counterattack Europe and the United States!"

.........

The Gundam series of games launched by Bandai Namco and Nintendo broke away from the design concept of previous pixel games, and is more inclined to RPG role-playing, and then added the gameplay of raising daughters, raising sons, raising pets, and even raising wives.

Then take the opportunity to put model toys such as daughters, sons, pets, and wives on the shelves, as well as matching decorations and scene sand tables.

At the same time, 18650 battery modules are added to the game console, equipped with lighting and taking pictures.

And launched a sales cabinet based on "big stickers" that can take pictures of the whole body. The internal program comes with various special effects to meet the needs of multiple people. It can also print out the photos in the game machine, which is very convenient and the cost is very low.

"As expected of a veteran toy manufacturer."

Xu Fei took out his own A3 power bank with camera and video functions.

The so-called camera is to use one of the two eyes of the horror robot to reproduce the scene seen in front of the eyes into a 'magnet sheet', and then use a compiler to translate the electromagnetic spectrum into original codes such as 0101001 and store them in the memory Card.

Then another compiler is used to generate codes, extract resources, and reorganize them into similar 'scenes'.

If you view the captured 'scene' through the screen of the power bank, the data packet will pass through the third compiler to form a 'digital photo' and transmit it to the image processing engine.

It can be said that this is a composite photo.

Whether the synthesized photos look good or not depends on the compiler and the image display controller.

Since Kodak will not let go of the film and will not enter the digital field, the compilation function of its own digital camera is definitely not as good as that of Canon and Nikon, and there is no zoom, exposure and other settings.

Therefore, TEP Computer Service Company, together with Kodak screen adjusters, added the function of automatic color adjustment and fill light to the image display module of the digital camera.

The eyebrows are too light, let's deepen them;

The face is too yellow, let's fill in the light;

The skin is too rough, we blur...

In short, regardless of being handsome or ugly, as long as you use our power bank camera, Guan Gong will become Diao Chan, and Diao Chan will become a fairy.

As for printing it out.

Sorry, that might not be you.

Therefore, on the back of the charging treasure device, there is a metal inscription: This device is for entertainment only.

That's why Bandai's photo stickers can't beat their own.

Also.

The A3 version of the power bank interface, one end uses a U port, and the other end adopts a T-shaped 5-pin design independently developed by the company, which can charge, prevent leakage, transmit data, and prevent counterfeiting.

For the charging treasure launched by Bandai, if consumers want to charge the toys of Tin Sheet Company and RGB Company, consumers must purchase their own or RGB power cords.

A fast charging power cord costs 5 cents and sells for 39 dollars...

Bandai sells a power bank, as long as the customer who buys it has an electric toy, it is equivalent to bringing a profit of $38.9 to the company.

"Thanks Bandai again!"

Xu Fei closed the folder and finished his day's work.

Turn over the bowl and look at the mechanical watch, it's 04:30 in the afternoon.

Today's New Year's Eve, at [-] o'clock in the evening, Daze will hold the largest fireworks feast in history.

At that time, the salute will be fired, all the lights in the factory will be on, the cycads and silver flowers will circle Daze three times, and the central area will release fireworks shells for a full hour.

Unfortunately, the venue for the Spring Festival Gala is not located in the industrial park.

Otherwise, I can get Kirov over here, release a large number of decoy bombs in the air, and have a "flying down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way falls nine days" to pay New Year's greetings to the folks all over the country.

Thinking of New Year's greetings, Xu Fei took out his mobile phone while walking out of the office, and contacted his immediate superior.

"Crooked, uncle, happy new year!"

Then contact the fourth secretary's grandfather.

"Crooked? Uncle Sun, happy Chinese New Year!"

Contact later...

Unfortunately, the leaders have not been very happy this year.

Without it, as more and more foreign companies moved into Daze, the superiors got more and more good things through Director Xu.

Grizzly chariot, rhino chariot, radar module, terrorist robot joint technology, remote control tank control technology, detailed explanation of Kirov structure, various high-tech materials...

My God, is the West so awesome?
Xu Fei doesn't know if he's not afraid, anyway, in the past six months, all the research institutes have been doing research like crazy, and the superiors have also desperately paid for it.

Overall, the atmosphere is nice.

When Xu Fei came home, Lao Xu, Da Ma, and Lao Huang were making dumplings.

As for where is the secretary?
All are on vacation.

Xu Fei looked at a pile of strangely shaped steamed buns on the dining table, "Well, let's order takeaway, shall we? The bread I ate last year made it impossible for me to get a promotion or raise my salary this year."

Old Xu waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm lucky this year."

You can have today, do you have no points in your heart?
Xu Fei picked up the village chief's exclusive loudspeaker, "Well, tonight, the village chief treats guests to a reunion dinner. Let's go to the big cafeteria for dinner. Remember to bring your own meals. There is no one in the cafeteria to cook."

for a long time.

Five o'clock in the afternoon, before the fireworks start.

Xu Fei just went to the dining table of Erya's house and picked up some chicken nuggets.

Xu Sheng's wife suddenly said, "Village chief, my guy hasn't come back for four years."

"hold head high!"

"I didn't call this year."

"Ok?"

"I'm worried what's going on."

"Why didn't you say it earlier? I haven't found the place yet, Gou Sheng can't die outside!"
