Rebirth 2002: Nano Life
Vol 4 Chapter 4: big bang in london
As early as 1993, the world's first smartphone appeared.
According to the history of a lifetime, two years later, in 2007, the first generation of iPhone was released. Since then, the development of smart phones has opened a new era.
Then for more than ten years, until Chen Yizhe traveled back to this era, smartphones have been developing in the two directions of thinner and faster, and there seems to be no other improvement.
However, Chen Yizhe does not think the development of smartphones will be boring, because she is still constantly developing new technologies.
In the future development of smartphones, its cameras, software and sensors will be an extremely important part. And this is why Chen Yizhe is preparing to develop a graphene flat lens, and the functions of the camera, software, and sensor are all designed in a small graphene flat lens.
In Chen Yizhe's conception, this kind of lens is the eye of the mobile phone, not just the function of photography. Therefore, it has the function of mapping three-dimensional space. For example, if you take a picture of an item with a mobile phone, you can know the approximate shape of the item and even the distance from the mobile phone through calculation.
Therefore, this requires that the graphene plane lens should have the ability to sense depth, which is crucial for the improvement of augmented reality. Chen Yizhe has always felt that the camera is not only a function of turning objects from reality into images, but also should be used to put images into reality, so that people can superimpose digital objects into the real world and interact with them.
Once a mature augmented reality camera is launched, Chen Yizhe is sure that it will definitely have a huge impact on the development of games, entertainment, online shopping models, and commercial products.
When buying furniture, you can put the camera of your mobile phone on the floor of the living room, and then overlay the virtual image of the furniture on the floor to judge whether the furniture is suitable for your home. For example, if you buy a bed online, with it, users can not only "place" the online bed on the floor and move it around, but also see the specific structure under the bed.
In fact, there are already technology giants that have made big bets on augmented reality, such as Microsoft.
This project has existed in Microsoft's laboratory for a long time, and relative hardware and software applications have also been developed, but it has been delayed from the laboratory. Even after more than ten years, this technology has only been used in a small part. Application only.
And when the technology matures, augmented reality will have huge development potential. Chen Yizhe believes that one day, when people point the cameras on their smartphones at dinosaur fossils in the Natural History Museum, dinosaurs will be "resurrected".
In his view, smartphone-based augmented reality is just a stopgap measure, and the ultimate development goal is to realize data browsing at any time by wearing a headset. Until that happens, smartphones will continue to get smarter.
On June 25, Xia Meng Electronics officially announced that there will be two new product launches next month.
A conference will be held in London, England at the beginning of the month. This conference will be accompanied by a modern music show of last.fm headquartered in London. Everyone knows that this new product launched by Xia Meng Electronics in London Yes.
In 2004, the sales volume in the UK reached 100,000 units, which is the country with the largest number of Xiameng Electronics exports. The sales volume is more than that in China, reaching more than 40 million US dollars. This is also the reason why Chen Yizhe put the press conference here.
At the end of last year, when the consumer electronics media in the UK concluded the year-end summary, they praised it as one of the best consumer electronics products in the world in 2004. However, the sales of this world's best product in the United States are not high. The main reason is that Apple has been suing Xiameng Electronics for stealing the iPod shape patent. Everyone knows that this is Apple's harassment of sales in the United States. The lawsuit has been entangled for 9 months, and in the nine months, the US International Trade Commission has imposed two consecutive bans for 3 months each, which means that there are 6 months. Beauty on sale. This also caused great losses to Xia Meng Electronics, after all, this is the world's largest consumer electronics market.
"This is the first time that a domestic company has released a new product in the UK. Obviously, it is of great significance. It represents the expectations of all Chinese companies, from here, to the world!" Yang Zhihao asked the media why the new product launch venue was held. When it was placed in the UK, the answer was, "Xiameng Electronics and I believe that this is just the beginning. In the near future, more and more domestic enterprises will enter the international stage from here!"
Since last.fm was acquired by Xiameng Internet Technology, Last.fm has slowly become the largest social music platform in the world.
There are more than 100 million song tracks and more than 8 million artists in the music library. Every month, 20 million people in more than 100 countries around the world find, listen, and talk about their favorite music, and this number is still growing.
And under the impetus of last.fm, Wen Meicen became a Chinese female singer who was popular in Europe and the United States in 2004, especially an English album "IT'SME" released in the middle of last year, which became platinum sales in many regions in Europe and America. album.
At the beginning of this year, Wen Meicen was nominated for several awards such as the Grammy "Best World Music Album" for Best Pop Female Singer, Best Pop Album, Best Song of the Year, Best Production of the Year, and Best Album of the Year. , a total of 80 works were nominated in this nomination, and finally "IT'SME" was shortlisted for the final list of five nominees.
It's a pity that, or ultimately limited by the relationship between background and identity, Wen Meicen still did not win an award. This is actually blatant discrimination. No matter how good the music of Wen Meicen's album is, as long as the singer is a pure Chinese, In fact, it has already lost the qualification to compete for the prize.
Chen Yizhe also made a phone call to comfort Wen Meicen at the time. He smiled and said, "The Grammys are just a music event for Caucasians. In the future, we will make a real world music awards event by ourselves!"
Today, white culture dominates the mainstream of the world, and culture is often linked to the economy. Unless China can become the world's largest economic power, the world's culture and values will still be controlled by Europe and the United States.
On the 5th, Chen Yizhe flew to London, England. Although he did not preside over the conference, as the boss behind Xia Meng Electronics, he flew over this time to show his importance to the European and American markets.
On the afternoon of the 6th, the Olympic Organizing Committee announced that London won the right to host the 2012 Summer Olympics.
At 9 p.m., after the hour-long music show led by Wen Meicen ended, the new product launch conference officially started.
This time the shape is smaller and thinner than the first and second generation, and the screen size is the same as the previous one, but due to the improvement of packaging technology, the screen margin is very short. And this generation has only one black and one color. In the words of a later mobile phone manufacturer, it is Id without borders.
And the battery life adopts a new generation of graphene lithium battery, which has more power and smaller volume.
This generation continues the screen of the previous generation, and the memory function is increased to 4gb.
Although this generation does not seem to have any black technology and no bright spots, but after two generations of updates, Xia Meng Electronics' technology has become very mature, the packaging technology is stronger, and after experience, you will find the sound quality effect Much improved.
The most important change in this generation is not the content of the hardware, but the content of the software. The new model adopts the new operating system of Xia Meng Electronics, and the operation is smoother, intelligent and humanized.
The new look of the system operation made the media realize that Xia Meng Electronics, a company, is definitely not satisfied with making good products on hardware, but continues to dig deep and deposit the content into the system software.
This generation has been praised by many foreign media on the spot, with rave reviews, all saying that this is one of the best and smartest Walkman products in the world.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Yizhe, led by Wen Meicen, sat on the subway to go around the city of London.
The traffic in London is actually no different from the traffic in big Chinese cities. If you drive, it will be very congested. You must know that it is the second most congested city in Europe after Moscow. Therefore, Wen Meicen proposed to take the London Underground.
Wen Meicen wears a hat and a mask. After all, she is still quite popular in London now. If she doesn't wear it, she will definitely be recognized by passersby. He was wearing a long yellow shirt and jeans, and yellow boots on his feet. Those legs were very slender against the jeans, and compared to the skinny he used to be, he felt a lot more fleshy, looking more healthy and energetic.
Entering the subway, although London traffic is crowded, Chen Yizhe found that the subway car is not crowded. Compared with the domestic and Japanese subways, the space is simply spacious.
Of course, after a few stops, it became more crowded.
"It's been a long time since I was so relaxed!" Wen Meicen sat on a chair in the carriage, leaning against the wall of the carriage, looking very comfortable.
"Who made you an international star now, I'm going out with you, I don't know if I will be afraid of being stolen!" Chen Yizhe laughed.
"I was secretly photographed, and I should be worried. Who knows who you are!" Wen Meicen said with a smile.
"Okay, I haven't seen you for a few months, and it feels like you, a big star, have swelled a bit!" Chen Yizhe joked.
"That's it! How can I be worthy of you if I don't inflate my confidence?" Wen Meicen said with a smile.
"Don't rely on me, I didn't make you swell!" Chen Yizhe shrugged and said, "By the way, this is for you!"
Suddenly, Chen Yizhe handed an item to Wen Meicen.
Wen Meicen took the item, looked at it, and asked, "What is this? It feels very similar to what was released yesterday?"
"This is my customized mobile phone, and there are only three in the world!" Chen Yizhe said with a smile.
"Sister Xia has one, you have one, and I have one?" Wen Meicen asked.
"Bingo!" Chen Yizhe snapped his fingers.
"Keep it first, and I'll show you how to use it later when I go back!" Chen Yizhe said.
"Yeah!" Wen Meicen put it in her pocket.
"Okay, where are you going to take me today, a big star?"
"I know that the journey has been set up when you come to London, and I promise to satisfy your big boss!" Wen Meicen said.
"With a big star like you, there is a good view wherever you go!" Chen Yizhe said with a smile.
The two chatted casually along the way.
Suddenly, there was a huge explosion, the sound was very loud, and all the glass was shattered. The glass did not fall out of the window but cracked.
The subway car stopped suddenly, and everyone fell from their seats. There were a lot of people in the car at that time, and there was smoke everywhere in the car. You can't breathe or see what's going on.
Chen Yizhe and Wen Meicen felt that they were shoved by a powerful force to the floor of the car, and then everything around was covered with white fog, and they intelligently sensed the smoke and fire outside.
Chen Yizhe quickly helped Wen Meicen who was beside him and asked, "Are you okay? What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, what's the matter?" Wen Meicen trembled a little.
Chen Yizhe could feel Du Wen Meicen's whole body trembling, "Don't be afraid, I'm by your side. It's probably a collision!"
Chen Yizhe could see the electric sparks spraying from the wall of the tunnel, the inside of the cabin was pitch black, nothing could be seen, everyone was screaming, and no one knew what to do.
There was smoke everywhere, and it was almost impossible to breathe. Chen Yizhe could see that most of the people in this carriage were fine, and some people sat softly on the floor and cried.
"Now is not the time to cry, we have encountered a problem, but don't panic, let's pry open the car door first!" Chen Yizhe said calmly.
At this time, it is still very important to have a backbone like Chen Yizhe. Soon, people will control their emotions, at least they will no longer appear panic.
Soon, the door of the car was pried open by Chen Yizhe with a fire extinguisher. Chen Yizhe first took Wen Meicen out of the car, and then others walked out of the car one after another.
The tunnel was dark, and in the tunnel where all fingers could not be seen, Chen Yizhe and a group of people walked along the railroad tracks by the light of their mobile phones. The car had been deformed and blown off the rails.
When passing the third carriage, Chen Yizhe could see that there were many wounded in the carriage.
"What happened?" Chen Yizhe asked.
"It should be an explosion in the front car!" Someone in the car replied, but they didn't know whether the explosion was caused by a bomb or an explosion of an electrical device.
When Chen Yizhe and a group of people passed by the second carriage, they saw that the metal parts of the carriage had disappeared, and at this time Chen Yizhe quickly covered Wen Meicen's eyes with his hands.
"Ah!" Several women screamed beside Chen Yizhe, because there was still fire burning in this car with a big hole. You could see several corpses with **** flesh and no limbs lying on the floor. Inside the car The red blood and internal organs overflowed, it was a **** on earth.
It seems that this carriage should have exploded, otherwise such a serious situation would never have occurred. Chen Yizhe's face was a little livid. If the explosion happened in the carriage he and Wen Meicen were sitting in, although Chen Yizhe was sure he could save his life, he would never be able to protect Wen Meicen.
"What's the matter?" Wen Meicen asked nervously, and then her whole body almost stuck to Chen Yizhe's body, holding Chen Yizhe's arms tightly with both hands.
"It's okay, just a little blood!" Chen Yizhe said.
"Dead?" Wen Meicen asked.
"Yeah!" Chen Yizhe replied.
"is it a lot?"
"Yeah!" Chen Yizhe didn't hide it.
A group of people walked for a few more minutes before they met the staff of the London Underground. After consulting the group of Chen Yizhe for information, the staff continued to move along the railway tracks in the direction of Chen Yizhe.
The explosion happened at five minutes to nine. When Chen Yizhe and a group of people walked out of the orbit, it was already half past nine.
At this time, the whole of London was very chaotic, and there were panicked people everywhere, but Wen Meicen still held Chen Yizhe's arm tightly.
"Mei Cen, you have a lot of strength with your hands!" At this moment, Chen Yizhe grinned his teeth and finally couldn't help saying.
You know, Wen Meicen's prosthetic limbs are stronger than ordinary people.
Wen Meicen heard this, and quickly let go of Chen Yizhe's arm, only to see that Chen Yizhe's arm that she grabbed turned purple.
"It's all black, Yizhe, are you all right?" Wen Meicen was about to cry.
"It's not Wu Qing, it's just that the blood is blocked, just shake it!" Chen Yizhe shook his arm, and then the black green on his arm quickly disappeared.
Seeing Chen Yizhe's arm returning to normal, Wen Meicen felt better.
The two wanted to stop a taxi back to the hotel, but they never stopped. Whether it was a taxi with or without passengers, they hurried past.
When it was late, Chen Yizhe discovered that not long after they got out of the subway, another subway car exploded. At this time, people in London were panicked, and the driver who received the most timely information dared to pick up passengers.
At this time, Wen Meicen could only call the assistant and ask the other party to drive over to pick them up. However, uukanshu.com found that it could not get through.
"We'll call again later, it seems that the current communication in London should be paralyzed!" Chen Yizhe has now guessed that London may have suffered a terrorist attack.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Wen Meicen's phone was connected.
After waiting for more than an hour, Wen Meicen's assistant hadn't come yet. When neither of them wanted to wait any longer, Wen Meicen's assistant drove the car in a panic.
When Chen Yizhe asked, she realized that on her way there, a bus also exploded in Russell Square. Wen Meicen's assistant said that after hearing a loud bang, she turned her head and found that half of the double-decker bus had been blown to the sky. And the upper deck of the bus fell off like sardines, and about five or six people and the ruins of the bus were thrown out.
Chen Yizhe and Wen Meicen could almost imagine the tragic scene.
It was almost 12 o'clock when Wen Meicen and Chen Yizhe returned to the hotel.
After reading the news reports that night, Chen Yizhe realized that 26 people were killed and more than 340 injured in the subway he and Wen Meicen took.
Meanwhile, the same explosion occurred on two other trains running in London, killing eight and injuring 171 on one, and seven and injuring 163 on the other. Nearly an hour later, another bus exploded in central London, killing 14 people and injuring more than 110.
