"Yes, boss. This is the first-generation superbrain personal terminal, Tianzhou, developed by the collective efforts of our entire optoelectronic research center!" Leng Jingmo introduced, holding the device.
The device looked almost identical to the most classic iPhone 6 Plus from later generations. To be fair, despite the continuous evolution of smartphone designs in the future, Boss Huang always believed that the iPhone represented the most perfect and aesthetically pleasing form for a phone. Its size, feel, and weight were also the most suitable for handheld use, with other phone designs being somewhat unsatisfactory.
Therefore, this personal terminal adopted the appearance and size of the future iPhone 6 Plus. When Huang
"Heh, a mobile starry sky model that only appears on the lock screen, and it's already consuming 30% of the chip's computing power? Do you think our chip has too much power?" Huang He asked indifferently. Leng Jingmo was startled, he could hear the displeasure in Boss Huang's tone.
"After unlocking, the model's computation will move to the background, and the required computing power will be greatly reduced, only about 10%!" Leng Jingmo quickly explained.
"Is 10% computing power little? What if users experience program lag on Tianzhou due to the lack of this 10% computing power?" Huang He retorted, leaving Leng Jingmo speechless.
"Also, it can immediately display the starry sky upon lighting up the screen. Therefore, in standby mode, this model should be running at full computing power, otherwise, it wouldn't appear so quickly, nor would I feel it getting hot at the back the moment I hold this phone," Huang He added.
"Boss, it's in standby mode, occupying a little computing power should be fine..." Leng Jingmo said softly.
"Yes, standby mode doesn't require that much computing power, but do you intend for users to carry a hand warmer in their pockets and heat their thighs through their pants all day? Do you know there's a condition called low-temperature burns?"
"Also, if it's constantly maintaining 30% computing power, how long can our battery power it? I ask you, if I just leave the phone like this, after how long will it automatically shut down due to depleted power?" Huang He asked again. Leng Jingmo mumbled after a while, "About five hours!"
"5 hours? Do you expect users to find chargers everywhere every few hours when they go out?"
Huang He's words left Leng Jingmo somewhat dumbfounded. He had truly never considered these issues before. He had simply found the design of this cosmic model to be incredibly stunning, even the most amazing aspect of the entire Tianzhou phone.
He had never considered the cost and problems that would arise from this stunning design.
"Record this: remove this internally operating cosmic model directly from the system. It can be made into an app and placed in our app store, but it absolutely cannot be a default running system program!"
"For the lock screen, a dynamic picture is sufficient. A dynamic picture with a playback duration of about one minute is enough for users to see the changes in the starry sky. After a minute, users will not be interested in watching further. Do you think users are willing to stare at the lock screen accompanying you to watch the starry sky?"
"If users genuinely have this demand, they can directly download the starry sky model app from the app store, no need to stare at it on the lock screen!"
"Also, design a desktop app store program, and then put various dynamic pictures in the store. They can be used for the lock screen or for the phone desktop, etc. Design them with some ingenuity and sell them directly in the store."
"Even if each dynamic picture is sold for one yuan, I guarantee it will generate over 100 million yuan in revenue!" Boss Huang said quickly. Leng Jingmo immediately took out his notebook and began furiously recording Boss Huang's suggestions.
"What do you think?" Huang He asked again after seeing Leng Jingmo finish recording.
"I think my thinking was too biased before, focusing too much on the technical aspects and not considering user experience and commercial value like you, boss. We are really lacking in these areas!" Leng Jingmo said sincerely.
"More than lacking, it's excessive!" Huang He snorted. "Do you know how much this cosmic starry sky model has cost me?"
"How would I know? This isn't our team's responsibility!" Leng Jingmo shook his head.
"1.2 million!" Boss Huang said with a cold laugh. "This single cosmic starry sky model, a research team spent a year and spent 1.2 million yuan to create this thing for me."
"Oh, right, this team is currently applying for other models. They are planning to create a model of the human internal structure, saying that it will allow humans to experience a complete blood circulation from the perspective of a red blood cell, thereby revealing the secrets of the human body. Guess how much it will cost me when this model is finally completed?"
"..." Leng Jingmo fell silent. He suddenly understood why Boss Huang was so agitated and angry this time.
"Actually, this team is still considered good. At least they are earnestly working on something. Although the entire model is a waste of money, it also has practical value in popularizing science. At least I can put it in the app store and sell it, so it has some significance!"
"But there are other project teams. They want to tackle topics that are very interesting. They want to find a new compound to achieve better heat dissipation for Tianzhou, so they are applying for 50 million US dollars in funding to rent Europe's positive and negative ion collider for a week to see if they can collide with the new particles we need!" Huang He said indifferently. Leng Jingmo didn't know what expression to put on his face after hearing this.
"To find new heat dissipation materials for me, they want to rent a positive and negative ion collider? This topic is ridiculous enough, but what's even more ridiculous is that General Ni approved this funding. If it weren't for the large sum of 50 million US dollars, the finance department would not have had to report it to me a few days ago, and I wouldn't have known that our research center was preparing to research high-energy particles!"
"Of course, I suspect they wrote the unit incorrectly. They probably only wanted to use 50 million RMB in funding. This way, Old Mr. Ni could have approved it directly, and finance wouldn't have sent it to me. Also, 50 million RMB is exactly enough to rent a high-energy particle collider for a week. 50 million US dollars is enough to rent it for two months." Boss Huang's expression was chilling to the bone, and Leng Jingmo lowered his head, not daring to speak.
He suddenly felt that the gunshot might not have been an accident, and he was not an innocent victim.
"Boss, actually, they want to research high-energy particles not for themselves, but to truly achieve some research results. And using a high-energy particle collider is also the dream of every physics researcher..." Leng Jingmo explained softly.
There is only one high-energy particle collider in the world, located in Europe, and it is the dream of all physicists.
Theoretically, this high-energy particle collider is freely open to all scientists. As long as they submit an application to the research center, they can use it. However, in reality, unless it's countries that have personally funded it, and they get a certain quota each year, others cannot obtain the right to use the collider at all.
Of course, considering profitability, if some scientists are willing to pay themselves, they can rent the right to use the particle collider. Just like these people now, they intend to use Huang He's money to rent the collider and fulfill their life's dreams.
"So what, they're treating me like a sucker? Making me pay for them to satisfy their dream of using a high-energy particle collider?" Huang He snorted. "I was too foolish before, thinking that you researchers had integrity and didn't need excessive restrictions, that you should have enough freedom to research, and I would just reap the results. Everyone benefits!"
"But now it seems you are no different from ordinary people outside. You also need KPIs to manage you and various rules and regulations to restrict you. This is better for everyone!" Huang He said lightly, his words making Leng Jingmo's heart pound. It seemed that the good old days of freedom in the entire optoelectronic research center were over.
