No matter what the Zheng family thinks, it has nothing to do with Bao Zixuan, he now has to go to the company to see the research and development of the computer, and then he will leave for New York early the next morning to attend Phil Hawkins's wedding. As the best man, he had to arrive early.

At 5:08 p.m. on April 4, U.S. time, Bao Zixuan and the three returned to Boston across more than 10,000 kilometers. It's getting late now, and I'm ready to get off the plane and go straight back to the office.

When the security personnel of the American Black Cloud Company saw the two knights of the fifteenth, it seemed that they had returned to the prosperous years when they were in the army. This is more domineering and powerful than the armored vehicles they drove when they were in the army. This is really produced by our company, which is the first feeling of many people.

There are many private tuned car clubs in the United States, and the Black Cloud Knight XV can only appear in the public eye as a modified car now. If you have not been tested by the Automobile Association, you will not be able to apply for a production license for production models.

Fortunately, before I came, I had arranged for the company's employees to handle the temporary identity of these two cars, otherwise I would have to call a consignment car to tow you back on the way back from the airport, let alone drive to New York to attend the wedding.

On the way from the airport to the company, whoever sees Knight XV will look sideways, and at the same time avoid a distance, and know that after the collision, it must be their own car that suffers.

After returning to the company, the security guard still refused to get out of the car, and any man would love this kind of bulky car.

At this time, Hiroshi Hashimoto was waiting for Bao Zixuan in the company with a few engineers, and he was going to New York to attend the wedding tomorrow. Tonight, he wants to listen to the research and development of the Black Cloud Computer Project, in fact, Bao Zixuan doesn't want to work so hard. However, the construction speed of the Xiangjiang Heiyun production workshop is getting faster and faster, and the current production capacity and sales can still match. If there is no new product on the market by the end of the year, then it will face serious overcapacity, and then it will be you who will be embarrassed.

Bao Zixuan returned to the room to wash up briefly and came to the conference room, he knew that his time at MIT was running out, if he didn't use the last limited time to develop some more technology ahead of the times, it would be difficult to make a big breakthrough when he returned to Xiangjiang in a place where there was a shortage of science and engineering talents, and even if there were, he would have to pay twice or even several times more investment than now.

After Bao Zixuan got to the seat, he saw Hiroshi Hashimoto and the four engineers below. These are high-achieving students who graduated from MIT with a Ph.D. in electronic technology and computer science. To be honest, it is indeed a little difficult for Hashimoto Hiroshi to manage this team, but now the Black Cloud Group has no available talents, so he can only take Hashimoto Hiroshi to top it first.

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "Your Excellency, we have mapped out a prototype of the laptop, and according to our calculations, it can barely meet your requirements, which is only 20% higher than the performance of the Apple 2nd generation computer on the market today, but our cost is 4 times that of the other party. There is no commercial value at all. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Don't think about commercial development now, we just want to develop portable computers first, and the cost is too high to sell to high-end customers." ”

"I just want to know when I can get the product in front of me and when the software will be written. How is the Windows interface I gave you last time combined? ”

Heiyun Software used Bao Zixuan's creativity to apply for a patent for the Windows interface in advance, and Microsoft must pay patent fees if it wants to use it in the future.

At this time, a software engineer said: "The software has basically been able to meet the practical requirements because the boss has provided a reference for our Windows operating system." It's just that we're still looking for possible vulnerabilities in the system. We tested it on Apple Gen 2 computers and 35% better than their existing system when tested on IBM minicomputers. ”

Bao Zixuan was very satisfied with the results of the software writing, after all, he had provided a lot of basic code, and there was also a big killer of the window interface, which could beat opponents in the era when home computers were just beginning.

Bao Zixuan: "You have worked hard, our factory in Xiangjiang is about to be expanded, can we achieve the maximum production capacity release, your computer company plays a very big role in it." In my opinion, all products may be obsolete in a few decades, but computers will be fine for hundreds of years, but they are more advanced and cheaper than they are today. ”

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "We can produce a prototype in June, and if everything goes well with the tests, we can produce it at the factory in September." ”

Bao Zixuan also knows whether it is right to develop a laptop 7 years in advance, which goes against the natural development law of science and technology, but this is also something that cannot be helped. It's easy to study a regular personal computer, but that would be a blood-breaking affair with Apple in the market.

If the research and development of data workstations will rob IBM's job, although the blue giant is now facing an anti-monopoly investigation, but the fire is not something that the current black cloud can bear.

Bao Zixuan: "Have you measured the weight and size of the prototype, what is the battery life, and whether it can meet the portable standard." ”

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "Due to the use of a large amount of titanium alloy materials, the weight of the prototype is about 2.5~2.8 kg, and the size and width are 40 cm, the height is 25 cm, and the thickness is 3.5 cm. Using Philips' state-of-the-art battery technology combined with our software battery tuning technology, the normal band time is 2.5 hours, and if you have been using it all the time, it can be charged for 1.3 hours when the computing volume is at its peak. However, the cost of each battery is $80. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Do you still have any technical problems that need to be solved and discussed?" ”

The hardware engineer said: "Boss, the performance of our current chip is very unstable, and there are often crashes, but this is not only determined by the performance of the chip itself, but also because we do not have a good cooling system, so that the chip will heat up after reaching its peak during the test." Due to the high temperature caused by the overheating of the chip, the motherboard, hard disk, and memory will overheat, and the computer will crash and the system will crash. ”

"It's a problem that has to be solved, otherwise our laptops would have worked for no more than 20 minutes at a time. It will greatly reduce the effect of customers to use. ”

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan finally thought of a question, how to forget the exhaust refrigeration system. So I picked up the pen and paper in my hand and began to draw, and after a while, I drew an exhaust fan on the bottom part of the laptop.

Bao Zixuan took the paper and said: "We can add a brushless motor exhaust system here, so that the impact of the high temperature generated by the chip on the computer can be alleviated." Then the lower half of the computer, that is, the main unit, is replaced with a hollow structure, so that the hot air can be discharged. ”

From 7 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., several engineers of Heiyun Computer Company continued to improve the design plan under the suggestion of Bao Zixuan, and all the unreasonable designs in the early stage were overturned.

In the end, when everyone showed the newly designed scheme in the form of drawings, all the engineers admired the new design scheme.

The product made according to the current drawings is stronger than the initial version in terms of appearance, performance and rationality. The boss's reputation at MIT is really not for nothing, it is based on his own strength.

They have been discussing for almost three months before the performance of the parts of the product has just been determined, but the appearance and overall combination have not met the ideal requirements.

The thinking of science and engineering talents is relatively simple, and whoever has strong ability will be convinced and believed. And willing to have him at the core. Bao Zixuan now wants to keep all the high-end talents here in the Heiyun Group, and even bring them all to Xiangjiang if possible.
