Chapter 129 Future Plan

Professor Kikuji picked up the small CD in front of him and looked at it carefully.

Judging from the appearance alone, it seems that it is not much different from an LD disc, except that it is a lot of pocket-sized.

"The biggest difference between it and an LD disc is that it uses digital signals to restore information during the information conversion process.

The current CD and optical disc technology is still limited to the audio field.

Of course, it will have a broader application space in the future, but at present, Shirakawa Electric only needs to focus on the audio field."

The so-called digital audio is the use of digital signals to record the waveform of the sound.

Before the CD discs appeared, such as vinyl, walkman tapes, films, etc., they were all analog audio.

We all know that sound is a kind of wave. This way of imitating the original waveform of sound on the physical level by recording waveforms is to simulate audio.

Although analog audio has served humans for nearly a hundred years since its emergence.

However, analog audio also has its shortcomings, such as poor anti-interference ability and noise floor.

Friends who listen to Walkman all understand this, and the rustling sound in the background sound is the best proof.

In addition, because analog audio requires a needle and a magnetic head to restore the signal, wear is inevitable.

Just like Shirakawa Electric's obsidian record machine and flashman, these two places are the most likely to have problems in terms of service life.

However, the real reason for CD audio development is that analog audio is not suitable for large-scale replication and distribution.

Whether it is vinyl records or walkman tapes, their ripping and transcription are carried out from a physical level.

The speed of physical ripping is limited, which also limits the production of vinyl and tape.

In addition, vinyl is not easy to store, and tape rewinding takes very long, which are the main factors that affect consumers' experience.

Therefore, whether in terms of usage requirements or large-scale production, the emergence of CD technology is almost inevitable.

Professor Kikuji put down the CD in front of him and thought, "This is a very interesting way to store it, but its application areas should be more extensive.

Images, texts, images, etc. can be used as carriers for storage and reproduction.

In addition, perhaps laser technology is the key to its information conversion, and the subsequent decoding is more complicated."

"Teacher Kikuji's eyes are as sharp as a torch." Shirakawa Kaede gave him a flattery at the right time.

However, he was also admired from the bottom of his heart. The other party could guess the two core issues of CD audio technology just by taking a look.

Tsk, I am worthy of being the head of a national experimental project, and I am scary about the knowledge reserves in different fields.

Professor Kikuchi didn't care about Shirakawa Kaede's praise, but instead frowned and thought.

He picked up the commission application materials submitted by Shirakawa Kaede again and passed it over.

Just when Shirakawa Kaede thought there was something wrong, he quickly picked up his pen and started writing and painting.

In just five minutes, Professor Kikuchi put down his pen and returned the entrusted information to Shirakawa Kaede.

"Precision servo technology and digital signal processing technology, Meiji's strength is sloppy.

However, Meiji is far behind ultra-large-scale integrated circuit technology.

So if you want to gain something in this area, you can only think of another way."

After being commented on this kind of sympathetic comment by Professor Kikuto, Shirakawa Kaede, born in Meiji, Yamashita Oji and Yamazaki Hiro were all a little embarrassed.

But they can't refute anything, who made this big man himself a technical master?

More importantly, the other party has not said it wrong yet. The fields that Meiji University is really good at are actually the social and humanities departments, such as law and business.

"Teacher Kikuchi, then look at the super-large-scale integrated circuit technology..." Shirakawa Kaede, who had no choice but to continue asking the big guys to give advice.

If Meiji doesn’t have one, you can’t just stop doing it. Shirakawa Electric needs to rely on Meiji’s background, but it cannot rely on Meiji.

If you want to base yourself in the future with technology, you have to do it no matter how difficult it is.

Professor Kikuchi seemed to be not surprised by Shirakawa Kaede's cheekiness, so he raised his chin.

"Go to find Masakisan Matsumura from Tokyo University of Technology. The contact information has been left to you, and I will say hello.

As for whether you can tell the other person, it’s your Shirakawa.”

"Teacher Kikuchi, Shirakawa is here to receive your care." Shirakawa Kaede, who was a little excited, bowed with conscience.

Professor Kikuji waved his hand indifferently, and he was actually quite impressed by this junior.

You can also help grab a hand wherever you can.

As for the future achievements, we have to leave time to verify them.

Seeing that Professor Kikuchi stopped talking, Shirakawa Kaede also said goodbye and left with tactfulness.

To be honest, Shirakawa Kaede is very grateful for being able to meet a big shot like Professor Kikuto.

It seems that all the technical problems encountered by Shirakawa Electric Appliances need to be solved more or less through him in the end.

Although Professor Kikuto did not end up in person, his identity was there.

The connections behind him were slightly exposed, which was enough for Shirakawa Electric to go far.

To be honest, if he hadn't been afraid that Professor Kikuto would not look down on him, Shirakawa Kaede would have wanted to write a share transfer book to him directly.

Unfortunately, such big shots with national resources support do not look down on these at all.

If you give it hard, you will fall into a cliché and you can only wait for the future.

Outside the laboratory door, Shirakawa Kaede grabbed Yamazaki again.

"Senior Yamazaki, you must come to Shirakawa Electric more often. Yamazaki and others miss him very much."

Shirakawa Kaede didn't lie. After all, I had worked happily together for half a year, and I still had feelings.

Yamazaki nodded happily, "It must be, it must be. Say hello to Yasuda Sang and the others on my behalf."

"No problem, goodbye to senior Yamazaki."

Waving goodbye, Yamazaki Hui looked at the backs of Shirakawa Kaede and the others leaving, and said nothing for a long time.

…

The industry-university-research plan for cooperation with Meiji University has come to an end for the time being.

The specific commission plan has been submitted by Professor Kikuchi.

At present, the preliminary budget is that Shirakawa Electric provides 20 million yen annually.

This is for the relevant professional teams of Meiji University to conduct targeted research and development on precision servo technology and digital signal processing technology.

As for the target, it is naturally a CD.

Although the CD format has not been officially released, in fact, there were technical conferences for related products a few years ago, both Philips and Sony.

So it is not difficult to get a CD disc, and what Shirakawa Kaede wants to do is a CD disc decoding device and CD machine.

Meiji University needs to come up with a specific decoding design plan in the next two years, of course the main goal is the circuit design part.

Shirakawa Electric will also participate in precision servo technology, so the problem should not be big.

The difficulty lies in the digital signal processing part, and design plans that can be used in actual commercial use within three years at the latest.

This is the longest time limit that Shirakawa Kaede can accept. The reason why he spent such a huge price and made arrangements in advance was just to get ahead of others.

If this cannot be done, then the so-called industry, education and research will be meaningless.

Shirakawa Kaede knew very well what formatting competition was going to do and what participation in the formulation of standards.

Shirakawa Electric is still far from here, even if he faces his face, he won't look at him.

So we have to go step by step, Shirakawa Electric first set up a CD-ROM player.

When you have enough strength in the future, you will participate in higher-end competition.
