It was already very late, and Chen Xiao had no intention of going back to school. He just rested on the sofa in the laboratory office.
At this time, Chen Xiao discovered that his plan to buy a house in Jiangzhou had been put on hold for half a year.
In the past, when the economy was tight, there was no such condition. Now, there is such condition, but there is no such time.
Early the next morning, Chen Xiao sent a text message to Sun Dong.
Let Sun Dong go to various major real estate projects in Jiangzhou City to screen them.
In real estate around 2000, there was nothing to choose from. They were almost all the same.
In addition to the house, the car matter also had to be resolved, and he also asked Sun Dong to take a look at the car.
Chen Xiao, in October, you applied for a driving school near the school. In this era, the management of study hours for obtaining a driving license is not very strict.
Chen Xiao bought a Huazi for the coach and several bottles of good wine, and asked the coach to arrange the exam first.
Next week Chen Xiao will take the subject three test. Once he passes subject three, he can get his driver's license.
Chen Xiao was originally an experienced driver, but now he needs to retake his driver's license. Maybe it was because the road in 2000 was a little more winding.
The sun in the early winter morning was not warm at all. After having breakfast, Chen Xiao continued to devote himself to the experiment.
He hopes that with current technical means, it can still be done to increase the capacity of carbon crystal storage to 512 MB.
According to experimental principles, it is relatively easy to increase the capacity of carbon crystal storage to 512 MB, but the accuracy requirements will be more stringent.
Chen Xiao is ready to calm down and spend a few months to master this technology.
What is very distressing is that he currently does not have many helpers, and he has to rely on himself for experiments on carbon crystal storage.
Chen Xiao's life has become a simple two-point and one-line affair. Except for special classes that require him to go back to school, he spends most of his time in the laboratory.
At the same time, scientific research papers and experiments on carbon crystal storage are in progress simultaneously.
As for whether the paper should be published, this requires in-depth consideration. After all, this technology is too advanced.

Dongyang, east longitude.
Netac's vice president is having three-party talks with representatives from Sony and Toshiba.
The content of the three-party talks is about the use of Toshiba flash memory in Lingyue MP3.
Netac and Sony have repeatedly emphasized that this incident not only harms the interests of the two companies, but also harms the interests of Toshiba.
Sony representative Shiro Tanaka said: "The company violated relevant patent regulations and set a bad example to the world, which seriously affected your company's image."
That's what it says on the table, but in fact it's still the word profit that is at play.
Sony is quite anxious at this time. Whether it owns Xia Guo's MP3 market is a trivial matter. The most important thing is that Changtian Technology has actually mastered lithium battery technology, and it is even more advanced than its own.
Regarding the use of lithium batteries in mobile phones, Sony has been negotiating on and off with communications companies such as Motorola and Nokia for nearly a year.
Among them, Nokia and Motorola have used Sony's lithium batteries in some mobile phones, but the two parties have not fully cooperated yet.
Sony has a complete technological monopoly on the application of lithium batteries. He believes that as long as negotiations continue, Sony, Motorola and Nokia will be able to reach corresponding agreements.
I just didn’t expect that Changtian Technology would appear at the critical moment of the negotiations.
For such emerging companies, consortiums around the world will adopt the same method - strangle them in the bud.
Therefore, Changtian Technology and its subsidiary Lingyue Company are regarded as threats by Sony.
Sony assisted Netac in negotiating with Toshiba this time in the hope of blocking the development of Lingyue from a survival perspective.
Sony and Toshiba are both partners and competitors, but when facing Xia Guo Enterprise, both parties must be partners.
Toshiba certainly knows about Lingyue's purchase of Toshiba's flash memory chips.
At the beginning, Toshiba had the principle of exploring more Xiaguo market, so with the introduction of the middleman, it was able to reach a relevant purchase agreement with Ning Ning.
Toshiba did not expect that its flash memory chips would be used in MP3 players at that time.
In terms of Lingyuegou's share, this small amount of money is nothing to Toshiba.
Led by Sony, Toshiba and Netac once again confirmed their flash memory patents.
The flash memory produced by Toshiba will not be used as raw materials for secondary processing by third-party companies.
Since then, this has provided important legal support for Netac to sue Lingyue.
On New Year's Eve, Netco sent more sufficient evidence to the Shenzhen Municipal Court.
Among them is the agreement on the use of flash memory patents between Toshiba and Netac.
Toshiba also provided the relevant basis for Lingyue's purchase of its flash memory to Netac through its lawyers.
The first court session took place after New Year's Day in January 2001. The current situation was very unfavorable to Lingyue.
As the news about Netac continued to be sent to Wang Xiang, Wang Xiang's head was getting big.
He sat opposite Chen Xiao, and everyone discussed ways to do it.
Wang Xiang took the information in his hand and said to Chen Xiao: "Now we have the most serious problem! Netac is suing us in Xiaguoshen City and Dongyang Dongjing at the same time."
"The worst-case scenario is that if Toyo goes to court and rules against us, Toshiba will immediately stop selling flash memory chips to us."
"Maybe Toshiba will take the above approach without having to go to court."
Sun Dong also attended the meeting and jumped up when he heard this.
"How is that possible?! If you want to sue, it's not just us! Why doesn't he sue Toshiba?"
Wang Xiang sneered and said: "Why sue Toshiba? The two parties have reached an agreement below the court, and Toshiba has decided to stop supplying us."
The cold winter has arrived in Jiangzhou.
Things are more serious than Wang Xiang imagined.
Wang Xiang initially agreed with Chen Xiao's procrastination strategy, but he did not expect that Toshiba would immediately run out of stock.
If flash memory cannot be purchased, Lingyue MP3 will definitely not be produced.
Chen Xiao asked: "How much inventory do we have currently?"
Zhou Linghua looked at the information in his hand and said, "A month ago, in order to cope with the stagnation of shipments during the Spring Festival, we purchased a batch of flash memory chips in advance. We still have about 10,000 pieces in stock, which can still meet production for a period of time."
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "We should be able to handle the peak sales season before the Spring Festival, but there will be some trouble after the Spring Festival."
"Have our reports been handed in?" Chen Xiao asked again.
This report is about the impact of flash memory on the development of computers, and explains in detail that Netac's patented technology is not for the flash memory chip itself, but for the application of the flash memory chip. This patented technology is actually not very ethical.
The application of flash memory is definitely universal, and Netac's patent is similar to a person who invented the posture for men to pee while standing. From now on, as long as men pee while standing, they will have to pay patent fees.
Wang Xiang said: "The report has been handed in, and the relevant departments have confirmed that there will be a reply within the next two days."
At this time, the office staff came over and said: "Mr. Wang, your phone number."
