Chapter 1713: Handheld Progress
Mori Xia's "escape" did not stop until the evening.
It's not because he's been forgiven by the girls, it's because he's saved by Sony.
Well, that's right, it was Brother Suo who saved Senxia.
Because of the prototype of the UND disc, Senxia finally got his hands on it.
It's not the disc that's actually the trouble, it's the optical drive.
The disc itself is good, but if you want to make an optical drive that can be applied to the handheld, it is more troublesome.
After the PY transaction, Senxia finally got his wish and got the optical drive he wanted.
This is the benefit of dealing with large enterprises, and the interests of the department are not aligned, so Senxia can finally get this technology.
Of course, this is also because Senxia has given its own technology.
We also have our own unique .jpg.
With a UND prototype is not the key, the point is that with this thing, you can openly paddle the water.
Well, yes.
Blatantly paddling.
Because tonight, it's actually a meeting of the current research institute.
Everyone came to the lighthouse country together, and this time is naturally to have a good time together.
But Mori Xia used the excuse of "I have business" to successfully avoid Qianjia and them.
Although it was a pity that there was no party, Mori Xia felt that if he couldn't let everyone calm down, he would probably be more than a pity.
"Well, it's already this time. Senxia looked at the time and saw that it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
He was testing a new prototype with him.
The volume of this prototype has been reduced with a high probability compared to its predecessor, especially the bezel.
Senxia strongly demanded that the machine need to have a narrow bezel.
However, Mori Xia was still not satisfied, because the machine was still too wide.
In Senxia's view,The new generation of handhelds,It should be close to the size of about ipod_touch and enlarged in equal proportions,If you can,It's best to be able to reach the structure of Xingxingxings7。
But in recent years, the so-called narrow bezel does not seem to be very popular on the market, or in other words, everyone's aesthetics have not progressed to this point.
And there is an optical drive inside this product, and there is no way to compress the volume to less than one centimeter thickness.
But in Lihua's view, this is already a great achievement.
"I think even if this machine is taken out now, it will be very powerful. "Lihua is Senxia's assistant.
At this time, there were only Senxia and Lihua, two people in the room.
Oh, by the way, this is not the hotel where Senxia and everyone are together, but Senxia changed to another hotel after finding Lihua in the afternoon.
By the way, it was Lihua who made the payment.
No one else knows this.
Oh, Xiyan is also there, but Xiyan is not in Senxia's room, but next door.
"No, no, no, it's not amazing enough. Senxia shook his head, "We can do better." ”
This machine already looks quite pleasing to the eye.
But as a product, there are still a lot of flaws.
Mori Xia was actually not satisfied.
How to say it.
The battery life of this cargo is a big problem.
Senxia has now adopted the latest lithium-ion battery technology, and has recently finally increased the continuous range of the machine to about two hours.
But it's not enough.
Today's CPUs, if they want to meet the standard of gaming performance, the heat and power consumption are very amazing.
Senxia's insistence on using a large screen itself increases the power consumption of the game, which is also an important factor in the pursuit of a small screen in the market now, coupled with the power consumption of the CPU, the machine is not embarrassed.
According to the production team, if Mori Shaken had expanded the thickness of the machine to two centimeters, they would have been able to increase the battery life to about five hours.
But that's not possible.
"The thickness needs to be further reduced, although there is an optical drive, but there is still space, and it is enough to be able to continue to reduce it by one millimeter......"
Mori Xia muttered.
It's okay to do that.
The Order of the Phoenix gave a plan.
If you design the optical drive as a one-piece structure, and then make the disc into a structure that pops out from the side, there will be no problem.
"In that case, won't the battery life be finished?" Lihua was surprised.
It's okay to do that, but there's less space for the battery.
Moreover, with this all-in-one structure, it will be inconvenient to replace the battery.
"You know what, we can just sell power banks!"
Senxia has a prototype of making a power bank before.
It came out with the Xbox and was ridiculed by competitors as a "pee bag".
Sen Xia didn't know who was mocking, because the other party was secretly talking.
But anyway, if you throw the pot to Sony and Lao Ren, it will definitely be fine.
Please take the black pot, thank you.
However, since there is already a black pot, Senxia feels that it is better to do it directly to the end and we will directly develop the power bank according to the future specifications!
At this time, it is the peak period of lithium battery development, and it is not a problem for Senxia to hitchhike to make a 10,000 mAh battery.
The problem is that the power supply scheme of this era is not very mature.
In the future, there will be no problem with a random circuit scheme plus a battery, and that is because there is already a complete solution in that era.
But now Senxia needs to consider the chip and circuit of the entire power bank.
What kind of charging current matches what kind of device, just trying to do this, is not a simple matter.
Even the Order of the Phoenix specifically approached Sanyo and Panasonic and negotiated together for a long time before finally jointly developing a solution suitable for similar mobile devices.
And there is no place for it for the time being, because many machines use nickel-cadmium batteries in these years, which are not suitable for charging and use, and there is no place for power bank technology.
But then it's different.
The power bank that Senxia is developing here is developed for future devices, and it supports 5V2A output power, which is exactly the charging power of its current handheld.
What, fast charging?
Sorry, this technology is still under development.
At this point, many technologies are theoretically possible, but none of them have been translated into practical products.
Battery technology is one of them.
"Its practical USB version is the best ......"
Senxia picked up the other one.
This handheld is about the same as the one at hand, but it costs $500 more because it has a total of 2GB of flash drives, not optical drives......
Of course, Senxia believes that with the development of computer technology and mass production, the capacity of this flash version can be reduced by two or three hundred dollars, but in terms of current technology, it is indeed so much.
After all, it is the first generation of technology, and the deployment of so many flash memory cores is also a difficult thing for the Order of the Phoenix.
But Senxia knows that this flash memory is the key to the future.
Although there are now large-capacity 10GB micro hard drives, Senxia is still a tough demand that the Phoenix Society create a completely solid-state version of this kind when the technology has accumulated.
The development of the latter is actually a little earlier than the U disk, and the NAND flash memory chip used in the U disk is the chip of this handheld computer, and the main control technology of the latter is made before the U disk.
Of course, the latter is faster than the former, which is due to the technical implementation mechanism, which has multiple flash memory chips inside, which allows the platter to read and write multiple areas at the same time, thus achieving higher speeds.
Far from it.
All in all, in Senxia's view, this handheld is his ideal form of completion.
But unfortunately, the cost of this machine is really unbearable.
In addition to flash memory particles, the technologies on Senxia's side are all developed by themselves, including the main control and various solutions.
No one can help Senxia in this regard, so it's just a matter of burning money.
Senxia is not a god, and in this regard, he can give a general direction of progress, but it is unlikely that Senxia will give a full set of solutions.
"The split handle structure is also a bit strange. "Senxia's machine, the handle and the machine are also separated. So Lihua would find it strange.
"Because the handle is not really the most important thing for our machines, it's just the icing on the cake. ”
Senxia's handle has also been transformed.
The machine is connected to the handle by means of metal contacts, and the handle itself is removable.
However, the controller can also be connected to a separate Bluetooth module, thanks to the generous promise of the controller, so they were able to turn the controller into a wireless controller.
But it's a pity that such a controller can't be made into an Xbox (xplayer) controller.
Sen Xia has considered that he can engage in special peripherals.
But that's all for later, because those people are core users, and what Senxia wants is to promote this product as a more popular product.
"Continue to reduce volume, narrow borders, and reduce ...... on the forehead and chin as much as possible"
Mori Xia muttered.
It's not that these requirements of Senxia can't be completed.
The problem is that these requirements are expensive to implement.
"Is it worth it?" Lihua felt that Senxia was a little overdone.
"Nothing is a problem. Senxia replied, "If I could, I would even like to remove the optical drive, but as you know, it's unlikely." ”
The optical drive can be removed, but if the optical drive is removed, the content carrier is gone.
That's the most troublesome.
Optical disc is the cheapest content carrier outside of the Internet.
Mori Xia picked up the umd disc in his hand.
In this disc, the game of "Night of Destiny" is put in.
As a high-capacity text adventure game, this game is very suitable for putting it on the handheld to experience the large screen and high-resolution picture quality, which can kill the previous generation of gal machines.
Really, who the hell took the gal machine...... A lot of people pronounce it as gay! I can't bear to look at it now!
Senxia roared in his heart.
My machine is really good and powerful. But because this nickname is very close to a very subtle word, every time Sen Xia hears it, he feels that this nickname is really unbearable to look at.
There is no way, that's probably what the polluter sees.
"Then castrate. "Let's come up with the perfect plan first, and then cut costs step by step." And if it can be mass-produced, the cost will still be very reduced. ”
In fact, many of the costs are very high, just because the mass production is relatively small, and many products are relatively small in mass production, so the unit price is very high.
However, if the scale can be increased, the average cost of each single product will be very low, and the profit margin of the product will be greater.
If Mori Xia is mass-produced here, the unit price of the product can be very low just after it comes up.
But it also means that the risk on your own side will be high.
In case the product hits the streets, then it will be troublesome.
But Senxia is already planning to get out anyway, so it's not a problem to keep the cost as low as possible here.
"I'll see...... The sound can be strict, although the binaural channel is good, but if it doesn't, the mono can also make a living. If the screen is replaced with a secondary level, it is not impossible...... No, the screen is not good, we focus on video and audio, and the sound can be replaced by headphones, but the screen is not. Oh, and the metal frame can be removed, and all-plastic is more economical. Although the polycarbonate shell is also good, the price itself is relatively high in the plastic, so we can use a cheaper shell......"
Sen Xia played with the equipment in his hand, as if to see where the function could be castrated.
It's something that can't be helped. Who made their ideas so perfect that the cost increased a lot?
But the necessary cuts are certain, because what Senxia wants to open up is not only the domestic market, he wants to lay out on a wider stage.
The performance of the machine is never a problem, the question is the selling price of the machine.
If the price of the machine is too high, then even if there are many interesting games on the machine, it can basically be pronounced a death sentence.
And it seems that cost savings can also be achieved not only by castration, but also by relying on others.
"Lihua, you can help me reply to the email to Sony, and ask if they can cooperate more deeply. I think they seemed to have a solution for digital cameras, and you ask if they have the latest technology developed for this handheld device. Plus, there's the screen and the battery...... Forget it, I'll draw up a document later, and you can ask one by one according to the above content. ”
"Good. ”
Lihua nodded.
The first thing that came to Senxia's mind at this time was Big Brother Sony.
Who made Sony so powerful in this era?
Lihua is an assistant who can make Senxia feel at ease, and with her, Senxia's work never feels uneasy.
But after talking for so long, Senxia noticed that Lihua's eyes seemed to be a little wandering.
"Lihua, what's wrong?" asked Senxia strangely.
"No, it's nothing...... Lihua shook her head, but looking at Sen Xia, she seemed to be pondering again, "I'm just thinking, why does Sen Xia-kun want us all to call you Oni-chan...... Wouldn't you be happy...... Europe, Europe...... Ernie sauce?"
"Hmm......"
Ah, I'm dead.
Lihua's words made Senxia's heart beat violently.
Especially the hesitant pause at the end.
It's really ...... Sbarassi ......
