Returning to 2022 again, Jiang Yan still feels like it was the other day.
Although the difference between 1998 and 1998 is less than 24 years, the difference between the times is very obvious.
Of course, if you don't look at the phone in your hand, this feeling will be much weaker.
When I looked at my phone, I saw, my dear, are Americans such a bitches that they don’t care about Xiaowu anymore? Woolly bear!
The Internet was full of news about the war, and Jiang Yan was very happy to see the comments from all sides.
However, he also knew that this time and space may not be the same as the original time and space, so he just treated it as a curiosity.
After turning over the war, Jiang Yan continued to browse other news.
Well, there are still differences in the world. Baoqiang is still favored this time, but he is the protagonist in "Wolf Warrior 3".
Wu Jing and Kong Zhengteng acted in a comedy film.
A lot of celebrities have had their houses collapsed, oh? Did the Milk Tea Week also collapse?
Tsk tsk tsk!
I can't watch it.
So Jiang Yan turned directly to the technology sector.
Technology is still the backbone and has not changed much. As a communications engineer, Jiang Yan quickly came to a conclusion.
When setting up my identity, because I didn’t know much about technology, I chose the identity of a communications engineer who graduated from a prestigious American university.
After traveling through time, he discovered that in addition to being an engineer himself, there were also many engineers among the people he knew, and some of them were even famous internationally.
In this way, it will be much easier to learn about an industry as soon as possible.
So Jiang Yan began to collect information online.
The target is very clear, it is the mobile phone industry.
Of course, he also thought about other industries.
Take cars, for example, but this obviously won't work. So what if there are design drawings? From design to delivery, quality and quantity are guaranteed. Not to mention the time, the capital will be at least billions.
Building a car is not that easy, after all, it is a big object.
Don't even think about electric cars. In 1998, the infrastructure was not perfect and electric cars were useless. If you really want to develop electric cars, you can only collect patents first, build a patent wall, and then wait until around 2008 to start.
At that time, the consumption level of the domestic people could not afford such large items as cars.
As for engaging in computers, engineering technology, and military technology, Jiang Yan has actually not thought about these.
But after thinking about it, a mobile phone is safer. After all, this is a project that I can participate in and do.
As for the mobile phone industry, in the future, it will rely on domestic well-established industrial categories. Hammers can do it, as long as they burn money, but whether they can survive depends on marketing and hard power.
After many years of development in mobile phones, the threshold for entry into the industry has become quite high, so if you want to make a breakthrough, you must have massive funds, talent and technology.
And there are many areas, such as chips and systems, that are extremely difficult to overcome.
But this is all a problem in the smartphone era.
In 1998, although the mobile phone industry was developing rapidly, it was only in terms of functionality.
Only when Lao Qiao takes out the first-generation Apple machine will the era of smart phones come.
Functional phones, on the other hand, do not rely much on high-end chips and operating systems - at least those before 2004 did not.
So it is not difficult to operate.
So what does a feature phone need to compete with?
Does it have a camera? How many pixels does the camera have? Does it have a flash? Does it have an MP3 playback function? Does it have Bluetooth? Can it access WAP? Does it look good? Does it have a color screen? What is the quality?
This kind of function, from the perspective of 2022.
One word: low!
But in 1998, if you could come up with a camera, a three-inch LCD screen, a weight of no more than 200 grams, a standby time of more than five days, or even a sliding cover that could play MP3 music and support dual
If you communicate via video, then you are the most handsome boy in the village, no, in the country!
Some people were immediately familiar with it when they heard it, wow, isn’t this a copycat phone?!
Yes, powerful copycat phones will slowly begin to sweep the country after 2004.
But it's 1998 outside now.
The world's first mobile phone with built-in games was launched in 1998.
The world's first all-Chinese mobile phone was launched in 1999.
The first sliding cover was released in 1999.
The first mobile phone with a camera and only 110,000 pixels was released in September 2000.
The rest of the dazzling features were all released after 2000.
And being born does not mean becoming popular.
When the domestic market is ready, it will have to be one or two years later.
So if Jiang Yan brings out this series of technologies now and creates finished products.
Needless to say, making money is a given.
And it can also be crowned as the number one independent mobile phone brand in China.
The most important thing is to master the most advanced technology in the world, which can cause heart attacks among international mobile phone giants!
Maybe the old Americans can just use the big stick of intellectual talent.
But Jiang Yan won’t be so stupid, and he will use “black technology” little by little.
What to do after making money? In addition to expanding production capacity and peripheral industries, use the money to specialize in "operating systems" and "high-end chips" to pave the way for the future smartphone era in the 3G, 4G or even 5G era, and even pave the way for the country's high-end technology field.
...
Because it’s 2022, it’s easy to collect outdated mobile phone technology.
But the imagination is beautiful, but the problem is still there, and it is huge.
For example, the issue of how to implement technology into physical objects, that is, how to produce, involves not only mobile phone technology, but also production and other related technologies, which is an industrial issue.
This alone will give me a headache for a long time.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan is now an engineer, and many of his friends and classmates are in related industries.
So by working together, we should be able to come up with a plan for the general problem very quickly.
So Jiang Yan made a call directly:
"Hey, old classmate, we haven't seen you for many years, why don't you come out and have a chat?"
Four hours later, Jiang Yan arrived in Yangcheng.
Since there is no epidemic, it is very simple to go north from Xiangjiang.
After meeting the first old classmate he made an appointment with, Jiang Yan asked directly:
"If you had today's mobile phone technology, what would you do back in 1998?"
Old classmate: "I think..."
...
End of 24 hours.
The world rotates and Jiang Yan returns to reality.
The computers in space already have a lot of data installed.
It contains information on various mobile phone technologies, information on the development of the mobile phone industry, and some ideas put forward by various old classmates.
It looks very detailed, but far from enough.
Jiang Yan also understands that this thing cannot be solved overnight, it will take many times.
Especially the collection of technologies, some technologies are still troublesome, and you even have to put a gun to someone's head to grab them!
As for the starting plan, in addition to talking about it on paper, we also need to go to the factory for field inspections.
Once it is finalized, it will take a long time to implement it step by step.
Are you tired? Yes, you are very tired.
But it makes sense.
Although mobile phones are small, they can solve the problems of "chip" and "operating system" to a certain extent.
"Chip" is difficult, and "operating system" is also a big mountain.
Apart from "Hongmeng", there is no one in China.
Jiang Yan does not seek to completely overcome the "chip", but there is no problem with the "operating system".
Just copy it!
If it’s made in advance, doesn’t it mean it’s made in China?
Why not move now?
This requires talented people, and it also requires various hardware-related cooperation.
This stuff can't just be typed out on a computer.
It's a huge industry.
So it is only 1998. As the tide of the times advances, we can slowly achieve this goal.
If we really can't do it, then we won't lose anything just by selling mobile phones.
All in all, if Jiang Yan really wants to make an epoch-making mobile phone now.
Then he has to do two things next.
The first is to keep crossing and keep crossing.
The second is to form a senior talent team in reality.
The team is responsible for putting paper technology beyond the times into practice.
"So, let's call it an incubation base."
...
Copying technology is a long process, and there is no room for sloppiness.
So Jiang Yan went back and forth six times in the last two days of "Gambler 1999".
Jiang Yan finally stopped when there was really no group show left.
After six time travels and six full days, the technology collected is still not comprehensive. Jiang Yan estimates that he will have to come back five or six times, which may not be enough.
However, if he wanted to continue, he would have to wait for the next script, so Jiang Yan gave up for the time being.
At the same time, "Gambler 1999" was also successfully completed.
But the problem came again.
Jiang Yan looked at the progress reminder in his mind with confusion.
