Chapter 730: The Starlight Effect Is Getting Strange
The thing placed on the table, let's say it is a mouse, it must be a mouse.
But no matter how you look at it, it looks more like a crushed glutinous rice dumpling.
Even though Xiao Qian traveled through two lives, he had never seen such a weird mouse.
He even doubted whether Shuangfeiyan in the previous life really produced such a product?
What was most unacceptable to him was that the left and right buttons of the mouse were gone. Instead, there was a red, round ball on the back, like the eyes of an alien monster.
"Our new mouse has canceled the traditional button settings and adopted a trackball mode. According to our experiments, using the trackball can achieve far more effects than using buttons."
Xiao Qian rubbed his brows helplessly, never expecting that Shuang Feiyan would play so wildly.
The mice of previous generations have developed into 2020, and they still have the same button layout, which is enough to prove the truth.
What the hell is a trackball?
But he couldn't refute it immediately, that would be too overbearing.
So he told Shi Weiguang: "Find someone to try the effect of this mouse."
Shi Weiguang's eyes searched the crowd and he had an idea in his mind.
"Who is that, Xiaotao, come and try."
Looking at the people walking out, Xiao Qian was a little confused.
Is this person...not an adult?
Starlight effects use child labor?
In particular, this man is dry-looking, but has a square, computer-like face with clear cheekbones. He has sparse and messy hair and large square eyes. At first glance, he looks like fpx tian.
"He is..."
Seeing that Xiao Qian was suspicious, Shi Weiguang quickly explained.
"This is Wang Tao, the nephew of Minister Wang Jianqi. He is in high school now and came here to play because of the summer vacation."
It turned out that he was not an employee of Starlight Special Effects. Xiao Qian was relieved, but then he lectured: "Can outsiders come in and out of such an important place at will?"
Shi Weiguang was startled and said hurriedly: "Actually, the special effects design studio is not very secretive. It is mainly for creative work. In addition, although Xiaotao is very young, he has great ideas. When filming Sword and Sword last time, there were
When shooting a high-altitude panoramic shot, the crew and we were at a loss. It was Xiaotao who made the suggestion and built a fixed-wing aircraft to hang the camera. Currently, this technology has been patented and many film companies want it.
It’s being introduced.”
This time it was Xiao Qian's turn to be frightened.
Are today’s young people so awesome?
When he looked at the young man named Wang Tao, several keywords suddenly flashed through his mind, making Xiao Qian feel as if he had been electrocuted.
"Your name is Wang Tao? Where are you from?"
The young man was extremely nervous and thought he had made a mistake.
"I'm from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and...I'm an adult."
Xiao Qian found out after some research that although Wang Tao looked young, he was actually born in 1980 and was three years older than him.
After graduating from high school this year, he is preparing to apply for the Electronics and Computer Science major at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and has been preparing for the exam.
He has been fond of model aircraft since he was a child. After reading a comic book about the adventure story of a red helicopter, he began to be full of imagination about the sky and spent most of his time reading about model aircraft.
It was this interest from childhood that led him to start dabbling in computer-related majors.
During this summer vacation, Wang Tao, who was bored at home, went to Shanghai to meet his uncle Wang Jianqi.
After Wang Jianqi was brought to the Starlight Special Effects Design Studio for the first time, he fell in love with it immediately.
Because there are top computer talents from all over the world, engaged in various researches, it suddenly opened the door to a new world for him.
After listening to Wang Tao's self-introduction, Xiao Qian's heart was filled with emotions that no one could know.
Looking at Wang Tao who looked exactly like fpx Tian, Xiao Qian couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder.
"Kid, work hard. Starlight will pay for all your expenses for studying at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology."
Everyone was surprised and didn't understand why Xiao Qian was so nice to Wang Tao.
Only Xiao Qian was secretly happy.
My name is Wang Tao. He was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. He is going to Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology to major in computer science. He likes model airplanes.
When these conditions are combined, the situation could not be more obvious.
When she thought that she would have such power in her hands, Xiao Qian almost jumped up with excitement.
But this is all in the future. What we need to do now is to test the new Shuangfeiyan mouse brought by Zheng Weiteng.
In full view of everyone, Wang Tao plugged the mouse into his computer and opened a design software. After operating it for about ten minutes, he stood up with an ugly face.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Zheng, this mouse is very sluggish to operate in the field, and the application environment is too harsh. At the very least, it is very inconvenient for designers."
The completely negative comments made Zheng Weiteng look gloomy.
He knew that the people here were all experts in the computer field. Their evaluations were actually far more accurate than those of ordinary users.
Did Shuangfeiyan’s first optical mouse fail like this?
Wang Tao's uncle Wang Jianqi was also nearby. He was afraid that Wang Tao would offend someone with his childish talk, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Mr. Zheng, with all due respect, the control chip used in your mouse seems to have major flaws in quality and functionality. Coupled with the design of the trackball, it has deviated from the original intention of current mouse design."
When Wang Tao was trying it out just now, he could see clearly from the side that the pointer of this mouse moved very irregularly on the computer desktop, with a lot of trembling. Moreover, the movement of the pointer was not smooth and smooth.
Positioning is very difficult.
Not only did he point out the problem, Wang Jianqi turned around and took something from the desk next to him.
If you look closely, it is also a mouse.
But compared with the Shuangfeiyan 4D, which has the same alien technology, this mouse is much more refined and agile.
"Mr. Zheng, you see, this is our studio's own DIY mouse. Because of its ergonomic shape design and Agilent's h2000 optical imaging engine, its performance is completely comparable to the IntelliMouse Explorer mouse."
Xiao Qian was listening next to her and felt completely unwell.
"Is your studio so busy? Have you DIYed your own mouse?"
Wang Jianqi was very embarrassed.
"Originally, the company purchased a mechanical mouse, but the design software we used took up a lot of computing space, causing serious computer freezes and often causing the mouse to malfunction. I thought it would not be difficult to solve this problem, so I contacted me.
My classmates at Tongji University borrowed their research equipment, purchased Agilent control chips, found a plastic case manufacturer, and ordered more than a hundred such mice. Everyone has used them and thinks they are good."
Seeing Wang Jianqi's honest and honest look, Xiao Qian was extremely shocked.
Awesome, tech nerd!
He is a person who often uses computers, but has only an entry-level understanding of computer software and hardware equipment.
In his opinion, making a mouse is a very high-end thing. But in the hands of these talented people, it is as simple as making a chair out of wood.
Xiao Qian paid attention to the handmade DIY mouse, and suddenly discovered that this mouse already had some shapes of later generations of mice.
In the course of the development of the mouse, there have been countless weird products.
But in the end, different paths lead to the same goal. All mouse manufacturers adopt ergonomic designs and strive to give consumers the most comfortable feel.
But in this era of initial development of computer peripherals, this mouse is really ahead of its time.
As an expert in the mouse industry, Zheng Weiteng discovered something surprising.
"This mouse of yours uses a USB interface?"
Today's mainstream mice all use PS2 interfaces. They are round interfaces with many sharp metal pins inside.
What surprised Zheng Weiteng was very common for Wang Jianqi.
"Most of the uses we use the mouse for are used to control software for design, so extremely high accuracy is required. We found that in order to achieve this, in addition to the need for the mouse hardware to meet standards, we can also use certain software
Driver implementation. If you want the mouse to run the driver in the operating system, you can only use UBS for data transmission."
While talking, Wang Jianqi skillfully called up a driver program on his computer and displayed it in front of everyone.
Zheng Weiteng looked at the driver eagerly, as if he wanted to see through it at a glance.
Xiao Qian exploded.
Computer peripheral products require drivers to use, which is nothing new after more than ten years.
Because the mice, keyboards, headphones and other peripherals of that era all came with exclusive drivers, which could provide users with a smooth and comfortable experience.
But in this era, peripheral drivers are simply products from heaven.
"Where did this driver... come from?"
Wang Jianqi blinked and looked over strangely.
"It didn't come from somewhere. It was written by a few of us ourselves."
It's so easy to say, as if I had eaten a meal of dumplings.
As expected of a technical nerd, I only care about playing for myself. Do you know the significance of what you make?
At this moment, Zheng Weiteng rushed over and grabbed Xiao Qian's sleeve.
"Mr. Xiao, this mouse..."
He is faster, and Xiao Qian is faster.
"cooperate."
Zheng Weiteng was stunned for a moment, then noticed the glint in Xiao Qian's eyes, and quickly returned to normal.
"We have to cooperate."
Hey, I originally thought that if these people didn't know what they were talking about, they might be able to get the design parameters and data of this driver-driven mouse.
What he didn't expect was that Xiao Qian, who didn't understand computers, showed his shrewdness like a fox and pushed back all his greed.
Although he could not take advantage, Zheng Weiteng's eagerness did not diminish at all.
He knew very well how epoch-making significance this mouse, which was only used in the Starlight Special Effects Design Studio, had.
Compared with this Shuangfeiyan 4D laser mouse, it would be an eyesore even if thrown into the trash can.
No, let alone Shuangfeiyan 4D laser mouse, even IE 3.0 is an antique compared to this mouse.
