According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...Research and development is a slow process. The reason why the R&D personnel at Jinan Tape Recorder Factory have not made much progress is that their foundation is too weak.
The goal is to develop a small electric motor while ensuring energy efficiency and maintaining the same rotational speed as if it were developed from scratch.
It's no longer the kind of thing where you just take the blueprints and follow them.
They've only been developing it for a few months, and while they've made some progress, it seems like they're just missing that final push.
Xing Baohua was not idle either. After sorting out some contracts, he turned his attention to another research and development project.
Essentially, it's just adding a call function to the wireless paging function.
Moreover, Xing Baohua had calculated the cost, which was only a little over a thousand yuan more.
Since they are all analog signals, we need to redesign the motherboard structure and add two more ROMs.
The processor's performance is sufficient, and besides, it's just storing a phone number, nothing else complicated.
When it comes to making mobile phones, Xing Baohua is a veteran. He has been developing counterfeit phones for so many years, but he still can't make this kind of junk.
The idea to get his hands on a mobile phone was thanks to those wealthy distributors. If it weren't for their frenzied bidding, Xing Baohua would never have known there were so many rich people in this era!
Xing Baohua's current communication products are all targeted at high-end customers. Who can afford them?
Those who can afford it are the big shots in their organizations or government agencies.
Do they have money?
Of course not, it was all allocated by the company for collective purchases. This money had to be earned. Whether it was Motorola, Ericsson, or Nokia, it was these companies that fed them.
Xing Baohua wanted to seize the market before motorcycles entered the domestic market.
Because paging and mobile phones use different frequency bands, Xing Baohua needs a frequency switching system.
He wants to achieve automatic switching, but that's quite difficult. It would require adding many electrical components, which would increase the overall size.
Furthermore, the power control system also needs to be reconsidered.
Once a cell phone is on a call, the power consumption is astonishing. The two batteries in a pager simply cannot last for ten minutes.
Why were early mobile phones so heavy? The battery alone accounted for more than half the weight, and they could only be used for 30 minutes of talk time.
Xing Baohua came up with the idea of passing the cost onto consumers, so he decided to use lithium batteries. Even if the price was higher, people would still buy them.
Lithium batteries, graphene batteries...
Huh, graphene?
Xing Baohua stopped thinking.
I lit a cigarette, my fingers trembling slightly.
This is a huge bombshell; Xing Baohua is afraid she might overeat. She needs a good entry point.
Otherwise, how would we know that graphene is extracted from carbon?
Swallowing hard, I realized this was a long-term research and development project.
To achieve commercialization, it would have to be at least the 1990s.
Both the experiments and the investment were quite astonishing.
Xing Baohua's current financial resources are only enough to cover the cost of building the laboratory.
A large amount of advanced experimental equipment needs to be imported.
establish!
We'll build it even if it means gritting our teeth.
We'll build it even if we have to sell everything we own.
This thing is of great significance.
No one wanted this thing to become a demon in Xing Baohua's heart.
He put phone design aside and began planning his entry point into graphene.
Was it discovered by chance, or did we get straight to the point?
Many great inventions are discovered by chance. Just like Taoists, when they were refining elixirs, they discovered many items or foods related to daily life.
After thinking for two days, Xing Baohua still couldn't come up with a solution, so he called Engineer Zhang from the design institute to come over.
Suddenly, news broke that the electronics factory was going to build a modern scientific laboratory.
Generally speaking, it's normal for an electronics factory to have a research unit. What's unusual this time is that Xing Baohua requested a much higher level of research.
It is five stories high and has a total area of 83,000 square meters.
They're rushing to claim this land as soon as the city allocated it! Whose research unit uses such a large space?
Each floor averages over 10,000 square meters, equivalent to about 15 acres of land. Many people don't understand why Xing Baohua wanted to build such a large-scale project.
But nobody knew Xing Baohua's good intentions! With more projects in the future, there will be more places to use the building. Will they just build it on the spot then?
Reinforced concrete structure, sturdy and durable.
The total cost is no less than 4.8 million.
The city construction company couldn't sit still any longer, and the managers of the first, second, and third construction companies all started to pull strings.
This piece of meat is too fatty; I have to eat it.
Xing Baohua doesn't have that much time to meet those people! It's easier to find the town's construction company.
To Xing Baohua's surprise, the project ultimately ended up in the hands of the First Construction Company.
It turns out that the town's construction company had been using the qualifications of the first-level construction engineer, so they were essentially one family.
Since the town's construction company couldn't handle the workload anyway, they subcontracted it to the First Construction Company.
The first-level construction engineer said, "We won't charge you for borrowing the qualification fee anymore, and we'll give you an extra two percent."
Typically, the construction company borrows the qualification certificate and charges a 3% management fee. Then, the construction engineer (or equivalent) takes another 2% cut. The town's construction company does nothing but pocket 5% of the total cost.
Xing Baohua was looking at a national map in his office. Establishing experience stores in over 600 cities would take at least eight to ten years to manage!
The key is people!
Suddenly, Xing Baohua had an idea: regardless of whether it was reliable or not, he would give it a try.
The first batch of retired table tennis players introduced by Teacher Cheng are already undergoing training.
Xing Baohua went to the training venue and saw a lot of people surrounding Liu Quan, who was explaining the circuit board.
Xing Baohua said to a man in an old military uniform, "Let's stop for a moment and have everyone who came here assemble. I have a few words to say."
The factory manager was about to give a speech, and this group of people assembled incredibly quickly.
The man raised his right arm, clenched his fist, and shouted: "Everyone, assemble, with me as the unit!"
