Chapter 717: Peace
When the power supply was restored, the local employees walked into the building under Meng Yu's surprised gaze and continued the rest of the day's work.
Noticing someone's sluggish expression, Masami Ozawa paused beside him, slapped his right hand on the shoulder with a half-fingered glove, dropped a sentence "It's nothing, as long as you stay here for a while, you will be like this when you get used to it", and went upstairs in a hurry.
Anyway, these people are not her employees, so naturally she doesn't need to grab her shoulders and shout to cheer up.
The Japanese archipelago, which is located in the Pacific Rim Volcanic Earthquake Zone, shakes all year round, and the number of earthquakes alone is felt 1,000 times a year. Anyway, although there are many earthquakes here, the big earthquake that is enough to destroy the city and the country is a rare occurrence in a century, and it is also "never seen once in a lifetime".
However, this mentality of getting by is not solid, and it is likely to collapse quickly when the big thing is approaching. However, according to the latest news on mobile phones, people in the Kumamoto disaster area have already started to save themselves, and there is no collapse of order in the local area, which can only be attributed to the earthquake prevention system that has been carefully built and maintained by the people. Training year after year, everyone has become an old driver, so that there can be such a surprising calmness and indifference.
Thinking of this, Meng Yu finally finished his psychological construction, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. So I took out my mobile phone and began to call home to report that I was safe.
"Yes, yes, it's okay at all, hundreds of miles away, and there are not a few pieces of glass broken. The locals have gone back to work, and now we are the only foreigners who are still downstairs. Okay, okay, I'll take a picture of you and send it to you later. ”
When he hung up, the Americans were still making transatlantic calls.
At present, the mainland of the United States is still late at night until early in the morning, but thanks to the globalization of information brought about by the Internet, many people who are still watching TV on the Internet know about the earthquake that just happened across the world. It should be that their family members also saw the news, so they called to ask about the situation.
Meng Yu said with a smile to Zhou Zan next to him: "This should be regarded as a small drawback of information globalization, if it was placed in the last century, where the earthquake would have to wait a few hours before you could see the news on the TV news 'according to the national seismic network', but now it will spread all over the world within a few minutes." ”
"Yes!" Zhou Zan nodded approvingly, and then said: "In fact, the bigger drawback is the fragility of the global industrial chain, the components produced in Japan are shipped to the mainland to assemble into mobile phones, and then shipped to the United States for sale, not to mention increasing carbon dioxide emissions to the earth, but also increasing the vulnerability of the system, this time there is a problem." ”
Stomping his foot, "This is the legendary Silicon Island, and the stacked CMOS used by the 6s and those Android flagships are all produced in Kumamoto." I don't know if Guo 6 Guo 7 will be affected, those Android flagships must have been snapped up for a few months. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Meng Yu was a little confused, Kyushu Island had always given him the impression that it was only a beautiful environment, many landscapes, and mixed bathing hot springs, and it was really not connected with the semiconductor industry.
Hearing his question, Zhou Zan smiled, "It's normal to engage in semiconductors in a beautiful place, and semiconductor production requires clean air and water." Other things being equal, of course, give preference to a place with a good environment, people look comfortable, and the burden on the machine is small. ”
Because of the fresh air, abundant water and electricity, and low wages, Kyushu Island once gathered 40% of Japan's integrated circuit production capacity, and now it also has 30%, known as Japan's "Silicon Island". More than 30 years ago, the Japanese semiconductor industry brought the advantage of low prices to press American counterparts to the ground and rub friction, which was not happy.
Interestingly, it was precisely because of the disadvantages of cost and technology that Intel, a famous memory particle manufacturer, announced in 1985 that it would give up the memory business it started and concentrate on being a CPU company, and even did not hesitate to tear up the licensing agreement with AMD and insist on the exclusive production of 80386, which led to today's x86 empire.
Although feng shui took turns, and later Wanwan and South Korean semiconductors rose one after another, and also relied on low-cost advantages to defeat the Japanese in the field of memory particles and mobile phone processors, but the latter still relied on the technical foundation to leave some good meat, such as automotive microcontrol MCU/microprocessing MPU, and digital cameras, image sensors used in mobile phones.
Because stacked CMOS is smaller and thinner, it is loved by mobile phone manufacturers who are "thinner as life", and Sony's imaging division has grown rapidly, once receiving 40% of the world's image sensor orders.
Relying on Microsoft's assist, the sales revenue of the more powerful PS4 increased significantly, coupled with the sale and stop loss of other loss-making divisions, Sony is looking to get rid of the loss-making hat in fiscal 2015. However, the earthquake at the Kumamoto Technical Center cast a shadow over the future, and the only good news was that the earthquake broke out in April.
Listed companies are required to regularly disclose their operating results for shareholders' reference, but the financial time horizon of each company is different, and the deadline for Sony's annual report is March 31. If the earthquake had occurred in March or even earlier, Sony would probably have had its seventh loss-making year in eight years (only 12 years of losing money by selling buildings), making the collapse hearsayers happy for another full year.
Sony can't fall, "uncle" laughs or not, in fact, it's none of Meng Yu and others' business, the reason why a few of them talk about it is because they can finally watch the jokes of the pixel party, with the increase in sales and influence of bee mobile phones, domestic friends in addition to taking apple bricks, but also began to take bee BP as a parameter comparison object, in order to highlight the cost-effective advantages of their own products, which naturally caused the disgust of bee people.
Although they are not in the same department, they still have the same hatred for the enemy, especially the latter's profits and their own small share, so they can't sit back and watch others be bullied. As for the bee mobile phone, the advantage of not using Sony's top sensors in the past has become an advantage this time, and there is no need to rely on the mid-range to win the world like the flagship dumb fire like domestic counterparts.
After chatting for a while, Meng Yu turned his head to look around and said to Zhou Zhan: "Let's go in, it's a little strange to always stand outside." ”
The Japanese are all kinds of calm, just a few of them domestic turtles stand on the street to avoid shocks, naturally all kinds of awkward and conspicuous.
The latter also found that the Americans had disappeared at this time, but they didn't know whether they had entered the building or gone out to play, so they nodded and said, "It's a little weird, let's go in." ”
With the addition of local employees, there are only more than 100 people in the entire Japanese company, and the small four-story building can be fully installed, and there are enough empty rooms for the visiting Meng Yu and them. In addition to the furniture and rooms are a little smaller, people are a little unaccustomed, the reception service is still in place, after all, these people are also here to check the work.
In fact, this kind of work is more of a formality, and the transplantation work of PMgo has the participation of the domestic department throughout the process, and it can be placed on Egret Island to see the effect, and the reason why I want to come here is more for the convenience of those Americans. Kyushu Island has convenient transportation and abundant tourism resources, and after the work is completed, it is very convenient to fly directly to San Francisco or go to the hot springs. However, with the current situation, there should be no one who has the leisure to stay in the local hot springs.
Aoi Tao didn't care about whether the life of the local hot spring hotel owner was good, but the situation of the little white cat had always been concerned about him, and he was the first to leave the company just after the end of work, and he didn't even care about bowing goodbye to his seniors.
Although the video sent back by the mobile app showed that everything was normal, at least it didn't hurt its legs, feet and neck, and it was moving as usual, but he was still relieved, after all, the neighborhood where Mo often stayed had a lot of old houses.
Since 1997, when the country entered a society with a declining birthrate, the "national crisis" of aging has intensified, and according to the latest estimate by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the number of people over the age of 65 has exceeded a quarter, twice as many as those under the age of 14. One of the many social problems caused by the increasing number of elderly people is that there are more and more empty houses, and it is not obvious that there are more and more empty houses in Tokyo and other places, but in remote cities and rural areas, there are more and more empty houses that are uninhabited and managed after the death of the elderly, and the residence of the former owner of the Mo is such an empty house.
Houses need to be lived in and maintained, because nature will erode and destroy them by means of rat bites, insects, wind and flooding, and grass and trees taking root, so that they can return to the material cycle system of nature. The earthquake did not damage most of the buildings in the city, but it does not mean that the houses that have fallen into disrepair without maintenance can be spared, and the white cats that often move around the area are also in danger.
It wasn't until he saw the familiar white figure that Aoi Tao's heart was relieved.
There were no scars and blood on the kitten's body, but there was just some more dust and dirt, and it should have been frightened, and its expression was a little low and aggrieved, and when it saw Aoi appear, it did not stand in place arrogantly as usual, but meowed and pounced.
He had brought a lot of food in the morning, so he sat on a bench and took them out for the kitten to eat and drink. Then he packed his things and took the little female cat back to the apartment where he lived. Fortunately, Mo is not the size of Maine and Garfield, otherwise Mr. Aoi, who is not a muscular man, will definitely not be able to hold a mouse and a hand-drawn pen tomorrow.
After adjusting the water temperature and locking the kitten in the bathroom to let it play in the water by itself, Aoi Tao went to the study with the smart collar he had just taken off.
The video transmitted to the mobile phone through the mobile network is compressed, and the image quality is greatly lost, and if you want to see the high-definition original video, you need to establish a high-speed connection close to the cat through iFi direct connection or SLC. However, because he watched the cat's live broadcast for an afternoon, there is not much power left in the collar, and it can only be connected with the most primitive data cable.
Aoi also uses a PT at home.,And it's the latest version of this year.,After all, my own company sells this.,There's always some benefits for the first month near the water.。
After connecting the collar, he didn't check the video recorded by Mo today, but exported the work log of the collar, and then opened the mailbox master and began to write a feedback email to the pet collar development team.
As a heavy user, the current endurance of the collar makes him very crazy, and he doesn't dare to turn on the video return function all day, otherwise the record of one charge a day will not be kept.
Originally, this was bearable, but he didn't have much time to check videos on his phone at work anyway, and his iPhone wouldn't be able to hold it up in that case. But today's incident made him realize that the battery life is too short is a very serious defect, so he took out the keyboard and crackled and typed a long article full of resentment and sent it, and attached a work log to prove it.
Originally, he could also give direct one-click feedback through the mobile phone and PT side of the pet collar, but the network situation does not seem to be very good, so it is not as stable and reliable as sending emails. And he can also take the opportunity to look at the logs that have been derived.
This is also his favorite function to use, and there is no mechanical rigidity of the log log of general electronic products, full screen code, but a "pet diary" containing a large number of pictures and texts, and a lot of cute points, showing the high strength of bees in the field of automatic writing robots.
The video of "mo Maoyan Diary" serialized on the Y/N station is based on these "diaries", plus various complaining jokes and some video special effects and editing.
Hearing the faint sound of scratching the door and meowing, Aoi left the desk where he was exporting the video, ran to the bathroom to connect the electric heater, and then reached out to start the machine. The white cat, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately quieted down, walked to the air outlet and stood still, waiting for the fur to dry.
This cat's "self-care" ability is very strong, he can bathe himself without saying, and he will stand near the air outlet of the electric heater to dry his hair when he is done, all he needs to do is put hot water, turn on hot air, and then come over on time to clean up the mess.
In fact, if he is not worried about safety, he can hand over the electric heater to the latter to operate, anyway, the use of the tactile switch is difficult to use good students. It's a pity that it can't jump high by biting the power cord, so it still needs to call its part-time cat slave to come and plug it in.
After cleaning up the bathroom, Aoi took another bath, and when he came out, he saw that the little female cat had curled up in a ball and fell asleep. Smiling gently, he walked over to find his mobile phone to film this scene, and checked the temperature level of the electric heater again, and then he went to the study lightly.
Today's "diary" contains footage of some buildings shaking and collapsing, which can be compiled into an issue of Maoyan Watching the Earthquake and sent to the Internet. Although he has already tweeted about safety, MO's fans are still waiting on the Internet, so naturally they can't be disappointed, and this sleeping photo happens to be used as a back cover photo.
