Chapter 104

No matter what the Zheng family think, it has nothing to do with baozixuan. Now he has to go to the company to see the research and development of computers, and then he will leave for New York early the next morning to attend Phil Hawkins' wedding. As the best man, he must arrive early.

At 5:08 p.m. U.S. time on April 4, baozixuan returned to Boston across more than 10000 kilometers. It's late now. I'm going to get off the plane and go straight back to the company.

When the security personnel of American black cloud company saw the two knights XV, it seemed that they had returned to their extraordinary years in the army. This is more domineering and powerful than the armored vehicles they drove during the military confrontation. This is really produced by our company, which is the first feeling of many people.

There are many private modified car clubs in the United States. Black cloud Knight XV can only appear in public view as a modified car. If it has not been tested by the Automobile Association, it is impossible to apply for the production license of mass-produced models.

Fortunately, the company's employees have been arranged to handle the temporary identity of these two vehicles before coming. Otherwise, on the way back to the company from the airport, you can only ask a consignment car to tow them back to you; Not to mention driving to New York for a wedding.

On the way from the airport to the company, no matter who sees the knight XV, he will look at it and avoid a distance. Looking at the size, he knows that his car must have suffered after the collision.

After returning to the company, the security guard still refused to get off. All men would love this kind of big car.

At this time, Hashimoto and several engineers are waiting for Bao Zixuan in the company. He will go to New York to attend the wedding tomorrow. Tonight he wants to hear about the research and development of the black cloud computer project. In fact, baozixuan doesn't want to work so hard. However, the construction speed of Xiangjiang black cloud production workshop is getting faster and faster. At present, the production capacity and sales can match. If no new products are introduced to the market by the end of the year, you will face serious overcapacity. At that time, you will be ashamed of yourself.

Bao Zixuan returned to his room and went to the conference room after a brief wash. He knew that he didn't have much time at MIT. If he didn't use the last limited time to develop more advanced technologies, it would be difficult to make a big breakthrough in the place where there is a shortage of talents at MIT. Even if he did, he would have to pay twice or even several times more investment than now.

After Bao Zixuan took his seat, he saw four engineers under Hashimoto. These are top students with a PhD in electronic technology and computer science from MIT. To tell you the truth, it's really difficult for Hashimoto to manage the team, but now there are no available talents in heiyun group, so he can only take Hashimoto first.

Hashimoto: "Mr. President, we have mapped out the prototype of the portable computer. According to our calculations, it can barely meet your requirements. The performance is only 20% higher than that of Apple's second-generation computer on the market, but our cost is four times that of the other party. There is no commercial value. "

Bao Zixuan: "don't consider commercial development now. We just want to develop portable computers first. If the cost is too high, we will only sell to high-end customers."

"I just want to know when the product can be put in front of me and when the software can be written. How's the window interface I gave you last time? "

Black cloud software applied for a patent for the window interface in advance with the creativity of baozixuan. In the future, Microsoft must pay a patent fee if it wants to use it.

At this time, a software engineer said, "the software can basically meet the practical requirements because the boss provides reference for our windows operating system. Just looking for possible vulnerabilities in the system. When we test on Apple's generation 2 computer, the computing fluency is 20% higher than their existing system, and when we test on IBM minicomputer, it can be 35% higher than their existing system. "

Baozixuan was very satisfied with the results of the software writing. After all, he had provided a lot of basic code, and there was a big killer, the window interface, which could hang his opponent in the early days of home computers.

Bao Zixuan: "you've worked hard. The expansion of our factory in Xiangjiang will be completed soon. Can we achieve the maximum production capacity and release your computer company plays a very important role in it. In my opinion, all products may be eliminated in a few decades, but there is no problem with computers in use for hundreds of years, but their performance is more advanced and the price is cheaper than now. "

Hashimoto: "we can produce a prototype in June. If the test goes well, we can produce it in the factory in September."

Baozixuan also knows whether it is right to develop a laptop seven years in advance, which violates the natural development law of science and technology; But there's no way. It's very simple to study ordinary personal computers, but that will break the blood with apple in the market.

If you develop a data workstation, you will rob IBM of its job. Although giant blue is now facing an antitrust investigation, it is not affordable for the black cloud to start a fire.

Bao Zixuan: "have you calculated the weight and size of the prototype, what is the battery life capacity, and whether it can meet the portable standard."

Hashimoto: "due to the use of a large number of titanium alloy materials, the weight of the prototype is about 2.5 ~ 2.8kg, with a size width of 40cm, a height of 25cm and a thickness of 3.5cm. Using the most advanced battery technology of Philips and our battery tuning technology in software, the normal point taking time is 2.5 hours. If it is used all the time, the charging time can be 1.3 hours. But the cost of each battery is $80. "

Bao Zixuan: "do you have any technical problems that need to be solved and discussed urgently?"

The hardware engineer said: "boss, our current chip performance is very unstable and often crashes, but this is not only determined by the performance of the chip itself, but also because we do not have a good cooling system, so that the chip will heat up after reaching the peak during the test process. Due to the high temperature generated by the overheating of the chip, the main board, hard disk and memory will overheat, and then the computer will crash, and the system will collapse. "

"This is a problem that must be solved. Otherwise, our portable computers can only work normally for no more than 20 minutes each time. It will greatly reduce the use effect of customers. "

Hearing this, baozixuan finally thought of a problem, how to forget the exhaust refrigeration system. So he picked up the pen and paper in his hand and began to draw. After a while, he drew an exhaust fan under the host of the portable computer.

Bao Zixuan took the paper and said, "we can add a brushless motor exhaust system here, which can alleviate the impact of the high temperature generated by the chip on the computer. Then replace the lower part of the computer, that is, the host part, with a hollow structure, so that the hot gas can be discharged. "

From 7 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., several engineers of heiyun computer company continuously improved the design scheme under the suggestion of baozixuan, and all the unreasonable designs in the early stage were overturned.

Finally, when the newly designed scheme was shown in the form of drawings, all engineers admired the new design scheme.

The products made according to the current drawings are better than the original version in terms of appearance, performance and rationality. The boss's fame at MIT really didn't come in vain. He made it by himself.

They have been discussing for nearly three months and have just decided on the component performance of the product. That is, the appearance and overall combination have not met the ideal requirements.

The thought of science and engineering talents is relatively simple. Everyone will believe who has strong ability. And willing to take him as the core. Baozixuan now wants to keep all the high-end talents here in heiyun group and even take them to Xiangjiang if possible.
