Age of Dreams

Seeing that they didn't believe it, Xiao Qi smiled faintly, "When did I lie to you? If it wasn't for this time that the key technical problems were not overcome, I would be able to expand the production of dreamsta3 to 30 million units per month."

"What technology is so difficult?" Li Xiaochao couldn't help but blurt out.

But just after asking, he regretted a bit.

How can such a core technology be mentioned casually?

However, Xiao Qi didn’t hide much. “It’s a technology about intelligent induction drive. It has been researched for more than 2 years, but it has not been developed yet, but it can be regarded as a big improvement now, and it’s next year at the latest. It can be applied to mobile phones in half a year."

After working with Xiao Qi for so long, Guo Taiming and the three of them all know that Xiao Qi is a very cautious person. This can be seen from his insistence that Dreamsta's monthly sales of 13 million units do not increase.

Now that Xiao Qi said that, they naturally believed it, and when they were excited, they were wondering, what kind of technology is this specifically?

The technical force of the Fairy Company is so strong that people all over the world know that even they have to research the technology for more than three years. Surely they will shock the world as soon as they come out?

The three of them thought well, and Xiao Qi wanted to use technology to shock the world.

It is the "eyeball rolling" technology that Samsung launched in the previous life in 2013 in galays4, which was a bit tasteless.

Eyeball scrolling technology refers to the technology of turning pages, scrolling mobile devices, and even manipulating more mobile phone functions through the activities of human eyeballs.

Before Samsung, in fact, a research team at the University of Copenhagen in Sweden had launched a color-n-color-ye project that was similar to eyeball rolling. This project expresses the same meaning. In addition, in 2013, Tobiire also launched an eye tracking technology to help users zoom, center, and open web pages and apps.

But these studies of theirs, at the end of 2013, proved to be very immature.

Take Samsung’s galays4 as an example. How many fans come for this “eyeball rolling” technology. As a result, after taking the experiment for a long time, my eyes blinked painfully, but I still couldn't control the galays4 as desired. Occasionally, it was so successful a few times, and it was not so sensitive, and there were often wrong instructions.

Xiao Qi doesn't know whether Samsung's mobile phones will be corrected in the future, but because there are examples of galays4, he started to develop eye tracking technology early, and he also emphasized it to the engineers. This eye tracking must be designed as a perfect smart technology, and it can't be taken out of a jingle, which is a shame to the Fairy Company.

But this kind of eye-tracking technology is cool to say, and good to think of, but after actual research and development, it is discovered that there are as many problems as cows.

The light sensitivity of the eyes, the frequency of rotation, the speed of the line of sight movement, the range of up and down, left and right movements, the distinction between normal blinking and conscious blinking, etc., all need to be broken and studied one by one.

More than 30 engineers since the beginning of 2008. By 2009, there were more than 80 engineers, and now there are more than 220 engineers. The number of people in the whole department is seriously exceeding the standard.

Then there are more than 30 departments assisting them. Although these departments have their own various tasks, because the eye-tracking function is very important, once the department sends a request, they must focus on organizing manpower to overcome technical difficulties.

The expenses of the Fairy Lab have also increased greatly.

Their department alone spent more than 5 billion RMB in more than two years. You can simply use throwing gold to describe the speed at which they spend money.

But even so, more than two years have passed, and they are still at a point where they have not made breakthroughs in several key technologies. It really makes them very much talked about by the Fairy Lab, although the funds are sufficient. But who doesn't want more abundant R&D funds? Your eye-tracking department asked for so much money. If you give it to me, I would have made a lot of results!

They also took a sigh of relief. In the second half of this year, they issued a military order to the Fairy Lab. This year they don't need any bonus subsidies. If they can't make it next year, then they all resign to apologize.

Of course, it is impossible for Sun Manxue to agree. If you didn't succeed, you would slap your **** and leave. How can you do that?

Even though your intention was to apologize, the actual action is to shirk responsibility. Now that you are gone, who will continue this project? Who will start again? That is equivalent to wasting a lot of time!

Moreover, Sun Manxue did not agree to their request for any bonus subsidies, but decided to cut it by half. During the Spring Festival, they collectively gave them a paid holiday for a month to let them rest their minds so that they can be more relaxed when they come. Go to work.

As a result, this group of people was even more moved. They continued to work hard. It is common to work overtime and vowed to break through technical difficulties as soon as possible.

Xiao Qi is a knowledgeable person. After going to them several times to listen to the progress report, he knew that they were only a little bit able to understand. Once this threshold was broken, the future would be flat.

That's why Xiao Qi told Guo Taiming that the next dreamsta4 will be able to use brand-new breakthrough technology.

With Xiao Qi's assurance, the three of them left contentedly.

Although dreamsta3 is just getting ready to go on the market, there is still a year and a half before dreamsta4 goes on sale, but they can also prepare in advance.

The purchase and debugging of the production line, the training of skilled workers, etc., can all be done in advance.

Only when you are fully prepared can you get a share of the dreamsta4 expansion feast.

Think about it, even if it is not 30 million, even if it only increases to 25 million a month, it is almost equivalent to a double.

At that time, even if Yan Chenglong can get the monthly output of 6 million units, and the remaining 6 million units Guo Taiming and Li Xiaochao split equally, it will be a net profit of several hundred million, and several billion a year. Isn’t that good enough? ?

In addition, the output of dreamsta4 has increased, so the shipment of various optional accessories will inevitably increase greatly. The two main optional accessories suppliers, Yan Chenglong and Li Xiaochao, will naturally get more benefits. Of course, they also It won’t take it alone. This matter can only succeed with Guo Taiming’s help, so they will also compensate Guo Taiming in other ways. Everyone is happy, and the most important thing for cooperation is!

When they left, Xiao Qicai reopened the folder that had just been closed, and carefully looked at the report sent by the Fairy Lab.

Sun Manxue sent us good news.

If the eye-tracking technology is about to usher in success, then Fairy’s foldable LCD panel oled technology, which has been deployed since 2007, has now completely entered the actual production test.

After more than three years of hard work, with Samsung’s technical support and the joining of many experts in this field, the OLED technology has been tested and qualified under rigorous inspections this month, and can be used in actual mass-produced LCD panels. Above.

However, there is still a time gap between the success of the experiment and the success of mass production. If the time is short, it will take three months, and if the time is long, it may take more than half a year.

The price of the finished product in the laboratory can be very expensive. One of the major goals of mass production is to reduce the cost as much as possible.

But in any case, the success of the experiment means that the most difficult step has passed, and the rest is nothing more than to do more parameter adjustments and matching, so that the effect in mass production can be closer to the effect in the laboratory.

Of course, the foldable LCD panel technology cannot be said to be completely successful, at least in terms of size, it has not been able to shrink.

The size that can be made now can only be a 10-inch or more LCD panel. If the size is too small, it will not be easy to maintain the effect.

This result can only be used on Dreampad, not even Dreampad fans, which really makes Xiao Qi a little regretful.

Next year is the time to launch the dreampad fan ni~www.readwn.com~ If you add this foldable LCD panel, it will be a sharp creation!

However, the technology is constantly improving. Although the foldable LCD panel is only suitable for 10 inches or more, their project team has not disbanded, but continues to reduce the size of the research.

I believe that if you wait for another two or three years, I can't say that the Dreamsta series can use this technology. Dreampad fans can at least do it.

From this point of view, it makes sense that Xiao Qi spends tens of billions of dollars on the Fairy Lab every year.

After all, there is only a little more than two years left for my reincarnation memory, and if these outstanding scientists and engineers grow up, they can largely offset the threat of foreign companies, even if they are gone. With the memory of reincarnation and rebirth, Fairy Company has continued to innovate in research and development, and at least can develop smoothly.

The Fairy Company must continue to have such outstanding technologies that are ahead of others, in order to continuously gain its own leading edge, and to continue to become the "king of the world's intelligent electronics" as a Chinese company! (To be continued.)
