Bao Zixuan came to the school the next day, and he was going to develop a digital camera. Yesterday, when I was writing a plan in the office, I realized that I was thinking too much about digital cameras. The structure of the body is really a bit complicated, and I want to come to the school today to see what resources can be used.

Digital cameras, aka: digital cameras. A digital camera is a type of camera that uses an electronic sensor to convert optical images into electronic data.

According to the use, it is divided into: SLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, card cameras, telephoto cameras and home cameras, etc. Unlike ordinary cameras, which rely on the chemical changes of silver bromide on film to record images, the sensor of digital cameras is an optically inductive charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS). Images are usually stored in a digital storage device (usually flash memory; floppy disks and rewritable discs (CD-RWs) are rarely used in digital camera equipment before they are transferred to a computer).

Now, the optical lenses of the digital cameras developed by Heiyun Group can be handed over to the team of engineers working in Carl Zeiss in Hong Kong. As for the other components, it is necessary to ask Kodak to buy patents, and then upgrade and modify. As for the battery, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology also needs to cooperate, and the lithium battery must also follow up synchronously. Historically, Sony was able to launch the first digital camera for commercial use in 1981, and there is no reason for the Black Cloud Group to be behind Sony with so many leading advantages.

With the strength of the Black Cloud Group, the U.S. branch can design flash data memory, and the CMOS requires the cooperation of the computer science department and electronics major of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The patent of CCD is now in Bell Labs, but many patents for digital cameras are in the hands of Kodak.

Bao Zixuan came to the computer science laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and he had already made an appointment with Professor Harry Loland in advance. Now he is a guest of honor in the various laboratories of the school. Heiyun Group has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with the major laboratories of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and they have allocated funds to the cooperative laboratories every month, and it has never been a day late.

Harry Rowland said with a smile: "You kid is out of the limelight in Germany this time, why do you have time to come to me now." ”

Bao Zixuan: "Didn't you think that I hadn't seen your old man come over for a long time!"

Only Bao Zixuan dared to talk to this hot-tempered professor like this, everyone was too familiar.

Harry Rowland: "Don't you come, I don't know about you! ”

Bao Zixuan told Professor Harry Rowland about the memory card, and said that he hoped to achieve the performance.

Harry Rowland: "Yes, what you said is theoretically achievable, but it is difficult to develop it by computer science alone, and we need the cooperation of electronic science majors. That shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Okay, I'll go to Professor Clay Freeman." ”

Harry Loren: "Wait a minute, it's something I shouldn't have said about you, it's your private matter after all. However, as an entrepreneur and engineer, you should also pay attention to your personal image. Hollywood has never been for MIT, so take care of it!"

"By the way, is there any Huaxia wine you gave to Professor Bowman last time? Bring me some next time. ”

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that a small scandal had affected the circle of MIT professors. It seems that Harry Rowland really sees himself as a junior, otherwise he would not have told you this with his American character!

Bao Zixuan bowed to Professor Harry Rowland and said, "Thank you, teacher, don't worry, I'll ask someone to deliver that wine to your house later." ”

When I came to the electronic science laboratory, I saw Professor Clay Freeman doing an experiment, and after watching for about half an hour, the experiment was finally completed. Professor Freeman, who took off his work clothes, came to Bao Zixuan's side and said, "Why did you come here today, did you check that I came to work?" Just now, the Heiyun research group proposed to me an experiment on improving the acoustics of televisions, and you didn't propose a surround sound! Now we are stepping up the experiments and striving to realize them in the laboratory this year. ”

About the TV Bao Zixuan also wants to take the boutique route, he is ready to build a surround sound home theater, after all, it is difficult for the home appliance industry to seize the market if the Black Cloud Group does not innovate.

Bao Zixuan: "The professor has worked hard! This time there is another matter to trouble you. I wanted to create a vehicle that could store information quickly. Weighing around 14g and the size of a cardboard matchstick (43mm x 36mm x m3.3mm), it is a solid-state product, meaning it works with no moving parts. Flash memory cards use flash memory technology, which is a stable storage solution that does not require batteries to maintain the data stored in them. Flash memory cards are more secure and protective than traditional disk drives and 5 to 10 times more reliable than traditional disk drives and Type III PC cards. ”

Hearing Bao Zixuan talk about the concept of flash memory cards, Clay Freeman said: "It's technically completely feasible, but Professor Roland should have asked you to come to me! Don't look at this thing as small, but it really requires the cooperation of our two laboratories." ”

In fact, many electronic products can be developed at MIT, after all, this is a school that has studied the black technology B2 stealth bomber, and the products established in the 70s are still the most powerful bomber in the world 50 years later, which shows how strong the technical strength is.

In this way, Heiyun Group once again united the electronic science major and computer science major of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and began to tackle key problems on flash memory cards.

On the Black Cloud side, Hiroshi Hashimoto will carry out the overall coordination work, and 4 scientific researchers from each major of computer science and electronic science will cooperate. Bao Zixuan plans to develop the product within half a year. Moreover, the Black Cloud Vision 1100 laptop will also come out with an upgraded version, adding an interface that can read flash memory cards.

After dealing with the flash card problem, Bao Zixuan returned to the dormitory and saw that the other members of the dormitory were there, and even Thomas Marr did not go out on a date.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said, "Everyone is here! How about we go for a drink if we have time in the evening." ”

Thomas Marr: "Bag, how does it feel to be a Hollywood star." You're so blessed!"

Bao Zixuan really didn't want to answer this guy's question, what he was interested in now was the remaining 10% of the Marr company's shares. But seeing that everyone is looking at him, let's talk about it at this time!

Bao Zixuan said: "It's really a misunderstanding, the bodyguard misunderstood, at that time, many reporters chased after me and didn't know how to get into my car, whether you believe it or not, anyway, that's the way it is." ”

"And whether you go to drink or not, if you don't go, I'll go back to the company. ”

Romansky: "Bag, it's not that we don't want to go, it's that we have an appointment tonight." There's a party at Harvard tonight, and we've got our tickets, so I'm sorry you didn't keep your share if you didn't come back!"

Bao Zixuan: "Since you have an arrangement, I will go back to the company first, and call me next time I drink!"

After finishing speaking, he left the dormitory, Bao Zixuan knew that his sense of existence in the dormitory was getting lower and lower, and he had been away for longer and longer and could no longer integrate into the dormitory life. It seems that it is still necessary to develop the required technology as soon as possible, and with the current absenteeism rate, I am really embarrassed to mix up the academic qualifications here.

After returning to the company, he started the research and development of digital cameras, but now he had to solve two problems, patent licensing and camera design. Both problems will have to be solved in New York State, and it seems that we still have to go to New York!
