The most critical areas where Jinghong chips can be used, in addition to smart cars that have been planned, the most important one is wearable devices.
The development history of mobile phones is actually also the history of human technological progress.
From the first Bell telephone, to the tabletop shaker phone, then to the landline phone, mobile phone, feature phone and then to the smart phone.
Communication equipment is becoming more and more advanced, and its size and weight are getting smaller and lighter.
The ultimate human requirement for tools for daily use is that they are easy to carry and out of the way.
It is hard for today's users to imagine what it was like in the 1990s when people carried mobile phones like bricks in their pockets.
Similarly, humans dozens or hundreds of years from now will find it very strange and difficult to understand when they see the palm-sized mobile phones that everyone holds today.
What will replace smartphones will definitely not be mobile phones from other brands, but will definitely be lighter wearable devices.
Chen Xiao is not the only one who can consider this issue.
In fact, mobile Internet or terminal equipment companies all over the world have taken this issue into consideration.
Including Apple, HTC, Google, Samsung, etc., they all agree that wearable devices will definitely replace mobile phones.
Companies such as HTC and Google, which have been eliminated from the smartphone terminal track, have also begun to develop wearable devices a few years ago.
For example, HTC, which everyone thought was dead, was not actually dead. Instead, it started producing wearable smart devices on its own a few years ago or OEMed them for Sony and other companies. The sales volume was pretty good, and the company's profits were guaranteed to be very high.
Live nourished.
In the current wearable device market, there is no disruptive technological revolution, most of it is just a gimmick.
Many manufacturers pursue wearable devices just to increase their stock prices a little more, or to win venture capital and sell their companies at a good price.
At present, wearable devices in the world are roughly divided into two categories.
One is a daily functional wearable device with relatively mature technology, represented by smart watches and smart bracelets.
The technical principles of this type of wearable devices are relatively simple, and the technology is relatively mature.
The technical purpose of smart watches and smart bracelets is only to record some of the users' daily physiological and exercise indicators.
Therefore, adding the word "smart" in front of bracelets and watches does not mean that the bracelets and watches are really smart, but that they have a relatively impressive function.
Another big piece is the AR and VR equipment that are very hot on the market right now.
The full name of the AR device is Augmey, which means augmented reality technology.
It is a technology that calculates the position and angle of the camera image in real time and adds the corresponding image. It is a new technology that "seamlessly" integrates real world information and virtual world information. The goal of this technology is to display it on the screen.
The virtual world is nested in the real world and interacts with it.
For example, during this period of time, the Pokémon game was quite popular in the East. When the user opens the Pokémon mobile game, the phone's camera will automatically work.
You can see cute elves on the streets or in the grass on the mobile phone screen, but there are none in real life.
This is the application of AR technology.
Holographic projection is also a type of AR technology.
For example, on a certain variety show in Japan, the organizer used AR holographic projection technology to resurrect Aunt Deng on the stage.
I have to say that in this regard, Toyo is at the forefront of global technology.
The full name of VR technology is Virtual Reality, which is virtual reality technology.
Virtual reality technology includes computers, electronic information, and simulation technologies. Its basic implementation method is to simulate a virtual environment on a computer to give people a sense of immersion in the environment.
To put it simply, virtual reality brings the real you into the virtual world. Everything you see is an illusion, giving you an immersive experience.
For example, in the Japanese anime Sword Art Online, the device the protagonist brings to play the game is a VR device.
Of course, in real life, VR technology is not as advanced as Sword Art Online.
There are various types of VR equipment on the market now, but the technical level is not very high.
At best, it is just a simple optical conversion device, with a mobile phone placed in front of the eyeglass barrel.
After the user wears the device and looks at the specially processed pictures played by the mobile phone, he feels as if he is actually in the picture.
Even with such a simple principle, there are few games or application resources that match it on the market.
However, the sales of VR equipment are relatively good because action movies can also undergo simple visual processing, allowing users to be immersed in the scene.
This is good news for singles.
Especially on some websites, there are benefits of selling equipment and giving away resources.
This makes many male netizens well aware of this and flock to it.
But whether it is VR equipment, AR equipment, or smart bracelets and smart watches.
None of them have reached the goal of wearable smart devices expected by humans.
There are three reasons for this dilemma.
The first is that the size of the device is simply too large.
Wearable AR and VR devices weigh at least two to three hundred grams. If there are some with better performance, they may weigh one or two kilograms.
Wearing such a bulky device on your head is fine for watching movies while lying in bed, but it is absolutely impossible to use it in daily life, study and work.
If you look on the street, who is really walking with VR glasses?
You will never look at him with envy, but will silently call him a fool.
The second reason is insufficient performance.
All current wearable devices are either simple visual tricks, or simple virtual reality, integrated with each other (such as the Pokémon game).
Equipment has not really brought convenience to human life, work and study.
The reason for this is not only that the computing power of the device chip cannot meet the requirements, but also that many applications cannot meet the requirements.
The third reason is also the most important reason, and that is battery life.
If Changtian Technology's biological batteries are not used, the power consumption of wearable devices built according to the functions of mobile phones is also very considerable.
The power consumption means that the battery size increases, which also means that the weight increases.
Of course, wearable devices cannot be completely popularized, and there are many reasons.
These are all stumbling blocks on the road to equipment development.
But the Jinghong chip developed in the laboratory can perfectly solve this problem.
Not to mention performance, after biochips are co-packaged with traditional semiconductor chips, their performance will far exceed that of all commercial chips currently on the market.
Whether it is used on a PC or a wearable device, there is no problem at all.
The most critical point is that Chen Xiao can learn from the instructions that the neuron biochip can be directly connected to the brain.
If neuron biochips can be directly connected to the brain, then the entire human eye can be used as a wearable device.
In this way, you can avoid the problem of the equipment being too bulky, unsightly, and inconvenient to carry.
But this is just a research approach that is more like the future of science and technology.
The road still has to go forward step by step.
In addition to informing Qu Ping of the DNA storage research, Chen Xiao also informed Qu Ping of some technical principles of neuron chip and brain connection.
The end of 2015 has come to an end.
Chen Xiao will still work with team members in the laboratory to overcome problems.
Chen Xiao smiled and said to Qu Ping: "Before we develop the technology of neuron degeneration and brain connection, there should be no problem in using our packaged Jinghong chip to make a simple wearable device, right?"
Chen Xiao asked Qu Ping and his team to make a simple wearable device, the purpose of which was to test the related functions of the Jinghong chip.
After all, there are still two months left, that is, December will be the 2nd World Internet Conference.
Changtian Technology did not participate in last year's World Internet Conference due to some reasons.
Changtian Technology will definitely not be absent this time.
Xia Guo is the host of this World Internet Conference, and the venue is Wuzhen, which is very close to Changzezhou.
Of course Changtian Technology will participate.
When Chen Xiao does something, he always either doesn't do it or does his best.
Some time ago, Changtian Technology just released a bio-battery and the Hanhai 2 mobile phone equipped with a bio-battery.
Therefore, this time attending the World Internet Conference, it is impossible to stir up twice-cooked pork again.
Moreover, the nature of the World Internet Conference is different from the nature of the company launching new products.
The World Internet Conference is more about displaying concepts and theoretical products, and it is people's expectation for the future development of the Internet world.
Therefore, Changtian Technology does not need to launch any new products this time, it only needs to launch a more conceptual product.
Since it is a conceptual thing, there is a certain error tolerance.
Your product doesn’t have to be perfect, but it must be representative.
Then the wearable devices produced by Jinghong Core are absolutely representative.
Chen Xiao also said to Qu Ping: "There are no regulations on the appearance of our products, nor are there any regulations on the content of the products. I only have one request, which is to bring out the characteristics of the Jinghong chip."
There are still two months to go.
Qu Ping believed that she could complete such a task perfectly.
"Conceptual product, maximizing the performance of Jinghong chips."
Qu Ping said while thinking: "This thing may not be easy to do just relying on life sciences and medical laboratories."
Qu Ping is going to ask Changtian Technology Hardware Company for help.
…
According to common sense, September and October of 2015 are also the busiest times for Changtian Technology.
After Gao Miao returned to Changzezhou from the northwest region, he immediately discussed with Wang Xiang and Wen Qi the new task given by Chen Xiao - to establish an automobile company.
Changtian Technology tried to acquire domestic brands such as Guozhongtai.
But the other party either has a big mouth, or has no intention of selling at all.
Now there is no way to buy an automobile company with a production line, so Changtian Technology has no choice but to register an automobile company by itself.
After discussing for a long time, Chen Xiao suddenly thought of a question.
When Chen Xiao acquired Bird Company, a very important reason was that Bird Group was engaged in automobile production. In the end, it failed to produce cars, and instead it was heavily in debt.
When Changtian Technology acquired Bird, it also asked Bird to divest its automotive business as non-performing assets.
After all, the non-performing assets have been divested. This does not mean that they are gone, but the financial handling methods are different.
Before acquiring Bird, Bird had cooperated with companies such as Changfeng Automobile and had its own complete automobile production lines and automobile production technology.
It was just because we didn't have enough funds at the beginning that we didn't produce cars.
The current automobile production plant, the original equipment, and automobile production technology are still under the name of Bird Company.
Of course, it has now become an asset of Changtian Technology.
The current factory equipment is still sitting there and no one cares about it.
Although these things are backward, they are not unusable.
Some things just need to be improved to make a product.
Moreover, if Changtian Technology is currently building new energy vehicles, it does not mean making them all in one go. How many vehicles must be rolled off the production line and how many units must be sold every year.
Chen Xiao's requirements are very simple, just make a conceptual product.
Then we summarize experiences and lessons from conceptual products and look for patterns.
Mass production will occur only when nothing goes wrong.
Wen Qi said to Wang Xiang: "When we audited Bird, we also saw this part of the assets."
"It happens that the headquarters, production lines and factories of Bird Auto are all in Zhejiang Province, and the land here is relatively valuable, so we did not sell this part of the land and equipment at the beginning, but let them put it on the account and put it away
There was no movement there.”
What Wen Qi did in the first place was also in the interests of Changtian Technology.
After all, Zhejiang Province is also a coastal province, and Ning City is a relatively developed city in the coastal area with a relatively concentrated population.
Such urban land will definitely become more and more valuable if placed there.
Although Changtian Technology does not have any real estate development company, it could not sell the land at a low price even if it knew that the land price would rise. Moreover, Changtian Technology was not short of money at that time.
I didn't expect that Wen Qi's unintentional intervention was still useful now.
Wang Xiang exclaimed, "Let's go to the automobile production plant in Ning City to take a look."
"Ning City and Suzhou and Hangzhou are both in Zhejiang Province, and the distance we can drive there is not too far."
"Mr. Chen also said that the main thing is to see if the equipment can be used. If the equipment can be used, there will be absolutely no problem in producing some products through simple improvements."
Chen Xiao has elevated the production of new energy vehicles to a very high position.
So Wang Xiang felt that he should take care of this matter in person.
The factory in Ning City can be regarded as the industry of the Waveguide Company.
As the rotating CEO of Bird, Wen Qi also felt that it was necessary for her to make a trip.
"Okay, Mr. Wang, let's go there together."
Everyone immediately drove to Ning City with the technical team.
Ning City is in the coastal area, and there is a factory covering an area of 500 acres.
This place is the automobile production plant jointly established by Bird Co., Ltd. and Changfeng Motors.
Many years have passed, and no one cares about this place. There are only a few gatekeepers and a small number of factory technicians taking turns on duty.
The elders thought that they had been forgotten by the company a long time ago, but thinking that the company had been paying their own wages without anyone taking care of them, they were happy with it.
