Chapter 1158: Cool Tablet
The twilight is hanging in the west, taking away the annoying heat, and the community lawn is gradually lively.
The orange and yellow long-headed bus slowly drove in, which immediately attracted a lot of attention. There are no driving restrictions in the community, but there are a few exceptions, and the school bus with little flowers is among them.
Slowed down and stopped on the side of the road, the rear door opened, and the male teacher who followed the car jumped down first, turned around to help the little passengers get off the bus in turn.
I didn't see my parents for a day, and the children missed it so much that they were excited and shouted to run and jump, but he was tired enough to be patient.
He is a newcomer to Little Flower Kindergarten, and his daily job is to take the children to play strength games as a physical education teacher, and to pick them up in the morning and evening. The working hours are relatively long, but fortunately, you can take a break in the middle, and the salary is okay and acceptable.
Finally, the last few children ran away laughing, and he and another female teacher on the shift got into the car to check and make sure that there were no children hiding in the car, and they also left their schoolbags or something, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and finally put his mind at ease. The reason why the two teachers in the garden are arranged is to let them supervise each other and ensure that they will not make mistakes carelessly, and he has always been nervous in his heart, for fear of making mistakes and harming others and himself.
He was about to call the driver to leave, but he was stopped by someone.
"Teacher Hu, Teacher Wu, please wait a minute!"
opened his mouth to keep people, but it was Ma Atletico who was walking towards this side, followed by the eldest daughter Ma Xiaohuan, and the father and daughter held porcelain plates and fruit plates in their hands, and walked towards the school bus.
Seeing that it was him, Hu Kaiyun suddenly felt a little nervous, but fortunately, Mr. Wu Jiarui, who was next to him, was well-informed and had already spoken: "Little Dad, is there anything wrong?"
"It's nothing," Atletico winked at his daughter, who raised his hand to hand the fruit bowl in his hand to Mr. Wu, took one from his father and handed it to the new physical education teacher, and then ran towards the cab with the third plate.
The aroma of the fruit on the plate was attractive, but Mr. Hu was just holding the plate in a daze. The induction training of the kindergarten focused on the prohibition of receiving gifts, and the plate of fruit in front of him really made him a little embarrassed. In contrast, the female teacher next to her was much calmer, and she had already taken a small bite at this time.
Noticing his hesitation, Atletico smiled and persuaded: "It's not a gift or a banquet from parents, it's just a little thank you from the children to share, it's okay." ”
Teacher Wu also spoke, "That's right, don't worry!"
Everyone said so, and he no longer hesitated, picked up a piece of guava, and ate it carefully.
Moments later, the orange bus restarted and headed out of the neighborhood.
Holding an empty plate in one hand and holding his daughter in the other, Atletico Shi Ran returned to the round table where his family was.
As soon as he pulled out the chair and was about to sit down, his wife's seemingly casual question sounded in his ears: "Tell me? What kind of public sentiment did Ma Dong feel this time?"
"It's nothing, it's just a casual chat, even if there is something, people won't tell me in person," Atletico smiled, and did not continue the topic, reaching out to look at the flat screen in his wife's hand, "What are you looking at? I seem to hear Yaoyao's voice." ”
Tang Jiayi had a smile on her face, and stuffed the tablet into her husband's hand, "See for yourself! What a good girl she was, she ruined your game!"
"Oh?" took the tablet to look at the screen, and Atletico found that Zhang Xu Yao was playing "The Last Survivor" live with another girl. Looking at the title bar again, he couldn't help laughing, "The plastic sisters spend a diary, they really know how to play." ”
"Plastic Sister Flower" is an Internet meme used to describe those false girlfriend relationships that are false and unkind. However, when it came to Zhang Xuyao, the word became "sister flowers picking up plastics", which is also in line with their game process.
"Survivor" inherits the tradition of post-apocalyptic games to pick up garbage and collect resources, and carries it forward through 3D printing, free construction, and a stronghold system. If you don't have money to spend, you should pick up garbage, and if you have outdated weapons, you should pick up garbage, and if you don't have enough resources, you still pick up garbage......
Thanks to the excellent system design, it is easy for players to indulge in the fun of picking up trash, and these two streamers are typical of them.
Picking up the clay pot and pouring him a cup of hot tea, Tang Jiayi said with a smile: "Actually, it seems that playing games like this is not bad, if you have to play and you are busy, people won't think about it much, and Aunt Xu and Uncle Zhang should rest assured." ”
Atletico squinted at her, "What are you doing with all this?" That girl is lively and optimistic, and it is impossible to be depressed. Besides, it's just a fractured bone to recuperate, and it won't really leave a disability, what's the big deal? Even if you really fall disabled, the big deal is to amputate the broken leg and connect a prosthetic leg. ”
"To put it lightly," Ms. Tang frowned and looked at her husband, "a fake is a fake after all, how can it be compared to a real leg." ”
Picking up the teacup and blowing lightly, Atletico said with a smile: "Dear, how long has it been since you paid attention to the news of Red Gourd Hospital?"
Tang Jiayi raised her eyebrows, she naturally knew that this hospital was where they were born at the beginning. At that time, it was called the Bee Health Center, but later it expanded its business scope to introduce equipment and talents, and became an official hospital.
"Huluyuan is going to be on the news again?"
Nodding in confirmation, Atletico said, "You'll see it later." ”
"Aunt Yang hookup?"
With a busy schedule and distractions to take care of her family, Tang Jiayi naturally doesn't have much time to watch TV, except for the 19 o'clock news that is significant and will suffer if she doesn't watch it, other news and variety shows have long disappeared from her watch list.
"Of course. ”
"Oh, what's in the news this time?"
In addition to providing medical benefits for the employees of Bee and Jiajing, Red Gourd, as a modern hospital that attaches equal importance to treatment and scientific research, also has joint scientific research activities with the Bee Research Institute and related schools, and has made great achievements in the field of ophthalmology, brain science, motor neurology and other neurological fields, and is very good at prosthetic eye transplantation and prosthetic deployment. And their latest achievement, the same as the prosthetic excellent mansion.
"The third generation of intelligent prosthetics. They fitted a dog with four prosthetic limbs to restore its ability to run. ”
The second generation of prostheses introduces electric technology to improve flexibility, while the new generation of prostheses changes the control system to more direct electromyography and EEG control, in an attempt to bridge the functional gap between prostheses and normal limbs.
For the same three generations, the artificial dog legs developed by Red Gourd Hospital are a step further, implanting electrodes into experimental dogs and directly connecting with nerves, so as to produce a more refined and stable control effect.
Hearing this, Tang Jiayi suddenly became a little interested, "This doesn't seem to be big news, isn't it big news? There are more than 300 disabled children who have received funding from the Dream Fulfillment Foundation, aren't they pretending to be third-generation prosthetics?"
"If you really want to divide the generations, it is indeed the third generation, but they are children's medical exoskeletons. It's not the same as this smart prosthetic, by the way, show you a picture, and you'll understand!"
took the tablet, logged in to the official website of the Bee Research Institute, clicked on the picture news on the homepage, and handed it to his wife, "This is it." ”
Looking down, Tang Jiayi suddenly noticed the difference, the previous medical exoskeleton felt like a heavy leg armor, and the user's legs would be completely wrapped by a shell made of engineering plastics, which looked quite bulky. However, in the picture in front of me, the prosthesis is directly attached to the limbs, and the overall is much slimmer and natural. And the puppy's steps are rarely brisk and natural, as if they were reborn from a broken limb.
"It's a half-biological, half-mechanical body, right? It's going to be biomorphic so soon?"
"It's still a long way from being beautiful," Atletico smiled, waving his hand and smiling, "at least until the breakthrough in battery technology, prosthetics are just external accessories, not a whole." ”
Thanks to the breakthrough of artificial intelligence technology, bees' continuous investment in the field of brain-computer has gradually reaped, although there is still a long way to go to realize the dream of EEG VR, but it is also used in prosthetics. The only problem is that the battery is still very bad.
"The legs are so thin, and the running is so happy, where is the battery hidden?"
"There is only a small emergency power supply in the prosthesis, and the main power supply is the wireless charger under the floor. If that one is turned off, the prosthesis will switch to passive mode, relying entirely on its own muscles, and its mobility will be reduced a lot, which is the norm. ”
Tang Jiayi suddenly thought of one thing, "This picture is also used in the news of the meeting?"
Seeing him nodding, she immediately frowned, "This should be considered a fake, right?"
"No, it will be pointed out that a wireless charger was used. We are also counting on the seller to recoup the cost with the charger. ”
"Who will buy it if there is electromagnetic radiation?"
Atletico Madrid has an indifferent expression on his face, "It's just electromagnetic radiation, not ionizing radiation, there will always be people who are tempted." It doesn't matter if no one buys it, we don't rely on this to eat. ”
"Then what are you doing with all this?
"Really," Atletico smiled and nodded, "There are so many research funds every year, you always have to find a place to spend them, don't you?"
"Take it easy and be careful not to turn into RMKX. ”
Technology is constantly changing, and big tech companies are passionate about tracking the frontiers of technology, hoping to identify dangers and opportunities before they can stay competitive and keep their business alive.
Because they are willing to spend money, GE General Electric, RCA American Radio Company, Moto, Kodak, Xerox Xerox and other large companies will come out of the laboratories of light-emitting diodes, liquid crystal displays, mobile phones, image sensors, graphics operating systems and other new technological inventions that affect the world.
However, being the first to invent doesn't mean being the first to be the best.
General Electric, which started with the Edison Electric Light Company, is doing well, even though the bulb business is still alive and well in the commercial and aviation business even though it faces competition from Japanese and European Chinese manufacturers. The days of several other companies are more miserable, RCA was bought and sold, Motorola was resold twice, Kodak was tragically bankrupt, and Xerox's life was not as good as a year.
Analyzing the reasons for success or failure, it is the overlord of color picture tubes, Kodak is the king of film, Motorola is calling for wind and rain in the era of feature phones, and Xerox is "focused" on printing and copying business, and is naturally full of contempt for immature new affairs, and then pays a huge price for it.
In order to alert their executives and employees, Atletico had the history of the rise and fall of these four companies become charts and write them into internal textbooks and hang them on the wall, from which the abbreviation RMKX is derived.
"No, at least not until I retire. ”
"Hey!" Tang Jiayi sneered, stretched out her finger and looked at the tablet in front of her, "Then what do you say? It is also a means for you to consume excess funds? Ten cores and ten systems, do you really think that a large number is powerful?"
The tablet on the table has an ordinary appearance, with the family-style appearance of a bee tablet. It is installed at the same time Bee 8, Android N, in10 system, Ubuntu17, Youqilin 17, Rainforest Linux, Phoenix Android and other ten mainstream systems, while supporting tablet mode and PC mode, but also across the Arm and x86 camps.
Atletico waved his hand and explained: "This is just an engineering prototype, and the official version will only be pre-installed with Bee and Youqilin, and the rest will have to be installed by users themselves." ”
"How to solve the performance problem? Is it difficult to make people learn like OV shopping guides, and the more people blow the core, the better?
"Ever since I kicked Koko Jr., people haven't blown it up much. ”
Due to issues with patent licensing, enforcement efficiency, and competitive pressures, Bee devices running x86-in10 with the help of decoders are still at the laboratory level, and the tablet is using a different solution.
It does not use Iom, Core and other more common computing chips, but unexpectedly uses a "dual-core" design, the six-core bee heart 436 is responsible for supporting the Arm camp system, and the quad-core ZX processor is responsible for the x86 camp system such as in10, both of which are manufactured by SMIC using the most advanced 28nm HKMG process in China, and are packaged into a ten-core large chip using SiP mode.
Now the mainstream chip process technology is 16 nanometers, the top is 14/10 nanometers, and 7 nanometers is also fast, but it is in the hands of top manufacturers such as Intel, TSMC and Samsung Semiconductor. Bee's own mid-range chips are all 16nm, but now they are back to eat backward technology, which is really strange.
"There's no way, who can't make SMIC's advanced process still hungry, and we need to help share it. ”
Because of the cost drag down on the yield rate and the fact that it is not advanced, the market competitiveness of SMIC's advanced process is quite poor, and it has only received orders from a few shareholders, and its performance contribution has remained below 5% for several consecutive quarters, leaving behind the more backward 40~180nm process.
SMIC is working hard to increase the production capacity of the new process, and the extra part naturally needs to be digested by shareholders. Then Bee developed a new product with such a strange configuration.
Tang Jiayi raised her eyebrows, "It's just a small shareholder, are you so concerned?"
"Support domestic production," Atletico stretched out his hand to pat his wife, "rest assured, this product is intended to be produced by order and will not be smashed in your hands." With such a high localization rate, centralized procurement should be able to solve part of it. If you can't sell it, it's marketing. ”
"Huh?" Tang Jiayi turned her head to look at her husband, "Don't you look down on patriotic kidnapping the most?"
"No, I'm going to give this product to the new cool brand. Since it is called CoolPad, how can it be without a cool and eye-catching tablet?"
