Yu Shenghai took the lottery ticket and nodded to Xing Baohua.
After Xing Baohua left, this guy realized he was becoming increasingly stingy.
Is this a pathological condition?
Although some donations are made every year, those are all arranged reasonably by tax avoidance consultants.
Do you really think all those wealthy people are so passionate about charity? Giving away hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions in total? They're all forced into it; otherwise, they'd pay far more in taxes.
Xing Baohua felt that since he was so rich, giving away a car worth over a million yuan should be easy, right? Actually, he really felt the pinch.
It was all just a facade of generosity; like giving Master Zhou a car, he didn't seem to care at all. In short, this inner conflict made him very uncomfortable.
After finishing some things at Haina, I went to the software park.
After the virus outbreak, Xing Baohua asked the programmers to develop some small application tools.
After all, computers need software to run in order to experience their superior features.
Some are paid; those are made into CDs, while free ones are uploaded to HK Online. As long as your computer can download them, you can install and use them. Of course, it also depends on whether your hard drive has enough space.
After reviewing the software, Xing Baohua went to the hardware R&D department.
There's a team here that's been responsible for the architecture of Starlink chips, commonly known as positioning chips.
Motorola has its own chips, and although we took them to study, they couldn't support the positioning system envisioned by Xing Baohua.
The motorcycle's chip can only connect to Starlink, providing a location with latitude and longitude coordinates. The geographical location is then determined through calculations.
What Xing Baohua wanted to use was a map display of coordinates, creating a navigation system in a visually intuitive way.
Instead of giving you a string of numbers and then calculating your location, who uses navigation to check latitude and longitude while driving? Even if you were given latitude and longitude, you wouldn't know where you are.
The difficulties in developing a navigation system gradually became apparent. First, there was the issue of map format. Xing Baohua had previously used paper maps, which were then converted into electronic versions using a scanner.
In this day and age, the converted format of an electronic map is extremely large, and a computer's hard drive might not be able to hold it. Therefore, Xing Baohua could only use a topographical map of Hong Kong for compression, but the format was still large, so the project was shelved for a while.
Motorola's Starlink satellites are almost fully connected and networked. Although many more have not yet been launched, they are receiving support from Hong Kong and mainland China in some areas.
In accordance with the agreement, Motorola also provided Xing Baohua with a system in Hong Kong to develop positioning and communication equipment for the Starlink system.
Positioning systems are not only used on vehicles, ships, and airplanes, but also in specialized satellite equipment and even in rescue operations.
As for location services on mobile phones, they often don't use satellites, but rather an auxiliary function; the real key is the base station.
This is a different concept from actual satellite positioning.
Mobile phone positioning uses a baseband chip, while the actual satellite positioning chip is in the communication chip, and it also needs to be outdoors, at a specific angle, to search for and connect to satellites.
To reap the benefits of Motorola Starlink, they need to develop their own unique positioning system chip.
I've been researching this for a while, and after many failures, I'm finally starting to see some progress.
Of course, a positioning system cannot be solved by simply developing a single chip; it requires multiple chips and storage chips, and even if it were developed, the size would be quite large. Unlike later systems that can be integrated into a small circuit board.
So, we choose the chipset.
After developing the chip, it needs to be combined with a cache, a storage hard drive or storage chip that can hold maps, and various power managers, etc.
This is almost equivalent to building a small computer, not to mention the need to research antennas, peak gain, and so on.
The development of these hardware components will take some time, but the challenge lies in software support. The entire navigation device requires supporting software, and Java programs can perfectly solve this problem.
As long as we develop software that supports JAVA, then for the map format, besides using compressed electronic maps, we can also ask a professional geological company to draw an electronic version.
However, Xing Baohua felt that scanning electronic maps was more suitable in Hong Kong. They could be used simply by compressing them; as for the accuracy of navigation, it had nothing to do with the device—it was the map-making company's fault for not doing a good job.
That's how civilian-grade navigation software is. Why make it so precise? The more you criticize it, the safer the navigation software becomes.
Xing Baohua did not participate in the hardware design, but instead worked with others to develop auxiliary systems for software and base station chipsets.
He figured it would be necessary to get a navigation device for the riders. It didn't need to be precise; it was just for testing purposes, to provide some data on the road. After combining the data, the accuracy of the map could be improved.
When they were working on the navigation system, they suddenly realized that his transport plane might not have a navigation system.
I made a phone call to ask if the plane was in Hong Kong or on a mission outside, and learned that it was currently undergoing maintenance in the hangar and had no work to do.
So Xing Baohua went to the hangar near the airport to visit his plane.
The captain arrived and accompanied Xing Baohua on a tour, explaining the operation of the transport aircraft and the use of some systems.
Seeing that the Russians used a lot of mechanical things, I have to say that the Russians are really good at this!
The transport plane was not only equipped with a navigator, but also with a communications officer, and a radio station in case the radio malfunctioned.
Xing Baohua even saw a fluorescent screen, which he initially thought was a very advanced visual system. However, the captain told him that it was a radar screen. The airborne radar has limited power and can only scan a range of about 500 kilometers.
Xing Baohua remained silent, his heart pounding. This was hardly civilian-grade; it could be deployed directly to the battlefield for bombing missions without any modifications.
