The whistle sounded, and the white ferry slowly left the pier and headed diagonally across the piano pier.

On the single-deck passenger ship next to him, Liu Haiyang subconsciously looked up and found that it was another liner that was leaving the port with a whistle, and then retracted his gaze to concentrate on checking the documents on the tablet.

The company has a lot of things, and little by little it eats away at his personal time, even if he has a holiday after work.

It's a pity that he is destined to have no time to work today, and the chartered ship under his seat will soon sound the whistle of the music and set sail.

"Yo, what is Mr. Liu looking at?"

After reading a page, I was about to click to turn the page, but someone heard someone with a little teasing question.

didn't look up to look at people, Liu Haiyang said casually: "If you're bored waiting, just find something to see." ”

Raised up and looked behind the man, "Brother and sister, are you here too?"

"Hmm," Tang Jiayi nodded gently, looking down at the children beside her.

Their reaction also satisfied her, and the four snacks in the bib pants/bib skirts opened their mouths one after another, and called sweetly: "Uncle Liu, good morning!"

Seeing the little guy looking at his side, Lao Liu smiled and introduced: "This is my female companion, Zhao Ke." ”

After getting the prompt, the Zhizhi sisters and brothers hurriedly said hello: "Aunt Zhao, hello!"

Compared with the ignorance and politeness of the little pot friends, the reaction of the Atletico couple is much more flat, after all, the female partner is not a girlfriend, let alone a fiancée, and there is no need to care too much about it for the time being.

After a few polite words, Tang Jiayi took the children to the side, and Zhao Ke also followed with a smile to help take care of it.

Throwing the leather bag on the coffee table, Ma Jing sat next to Lao Liu, and asked in a low voice: "Boss Liu, didn't you say that you want to be Dongfang Hefner?

Saving the bookmark and turning off the document reader, Liu Haiyang retorted: "Hefner has also been married a few times, okay?"

"Are you serious?"

"No, it's not that much yet," Lao Liu shook his head slightly, and explained in a low voice: "I have to give a little explanation to my parents at home." ”

This kind of private matter, outsiders are naturally not good at pointing fingers, Atletico pulled the briefcase, took out a dark pink cardboard box from it, and handed it to the other party, "Oh, this is the Big Dipper 3 you want! Pink, give it to her?"

"Well, thank you!" Liu Haiyang stretched out his hand to take it, thanked him casually, and then tore open the seal and took out the bright pink mobile phone inside, "I'll take a look first!"

As a former bee employee, Lao Liu knew that this mobile phone was actually the vest of the "Shenchuan 5", and changed its name because of the taboo of capsizing. was also sued by Tan Wensheng for this matter, but when the trial was about to start, the two parties suddenly reconciled and withdrew the lawsuit, and I don't know what benefits Atletico promised to Lao Tan. Speaking of which, that guy is still an old driver in the mobile phone industry, he opened a website to sell mobile phones more than ten years ago, claiming to be the "ancestor of mobile phone e-commerce", but in the back, he was surpassed by coarse grains, bees and other small characters one after another.

With one hand, he turned on the spit mode: "The weight has increased a lot, at least 300 grams, I feel that I am pressing, and girls are a bit of a pit sister, right?

Atletico waved his hand indifferently, "If it's too heavy, I'll pay it back, it's not that there are no mobile phones that are more suitable for girls, such as ASE, which is very good, and the mobile phone that can surpass it in appearance is still in our laboratory!"

"Second generation Silvereye?"

"No," Atletico shook his head, sidestepping the topic and explaining: "The rugged mobile phone is already very bulky, and now it is even thicker with more satellite short message modules." In fact, we've worked hard to control the weight, and the women's version of the Shenchuan uses carbon fiber composite materials and titanium alloys, and the weight is even lighter than that of ordinary rugged phones, and you're completely complaining about the wrong object. ”

Lao Liu shook his head, "Hmm, finally use carbon fiber, why don't you use BP?"

"I'm afraid the market won't accept it," Atletico shrugged, "after all, it's too similar to plastic." ”

Unlike graphene and carbon nanotubes, which are troublesome and have low yields, carbon fiber is relatively easy to make, and can be obtained in large quantities by high-temperature carbonization process with common fiber raw materials such as polyacrylonitrile and viscose fiber, which is why carbon fiber materials appear in a large number of sports equipment such as tennis rackets, fishing rods, bicycles, skateboards, and sports cars. Although it is still relatively expensive, it is not as expensive as before, and you can't buy it if you want to.

Carbon fiber has high tensile strength, but it is relatively soft, and when used as a shell and support material, it needs resin to fix and harden to make carbon fiber reinforced plastic CFRP to improve rigidity. After several years of propaganda brainwashing by mobile phone manufacturers, users have formed the cognitive inertia that "plastic is about equal to low-grade goods", and Bee Mobile naturally does not dare to use carbon fiber directly on mainstream models. This time, the use of carbon fiber shells on the women's version of the Shenchuan mobile phone can be regarded as their test of the waters.

After a little explanation, Atletico pointed to the mobile phone box on the other party's lap and proposed: "There are tools in the box, you can remove it and take a look if you have nothing to do." ”

As the face value of the three-proof mobile phone, Shenship/Beidou has always attached importance to the appearance, and has long applied the replaceable softshell design on its own mobile phone, corresponding to different scenes such as mountains, deserts, oceans, etc., and has achieved a good balance between appearance and function, this design is carried forward in the women's version of the mobile phone, the new soft shell is still practical, but the appearance is more outstanding and fashionable.

Liu Haiyang became interested, found a tool and removed the rubber soft shell outside, and the phone suddenly lost a lot of weight, and the screen-to-body ratio and appearance increased significantly.

However, he was still a little dissatisfied, and complained casually: "It's still a little thick, and the frame can stop the aircraft carrier." ”

Putting down the sundries in his hand, he took out the Beidou New Year Card that came with the box, picked off the SIM card and pinched it in his hand, turned over the phone and opened the back cover and was about to install the card, and then suddenly asked: "Isn't the bee 6/7/8 also a three-proof? Why can it be so thin? And this is so thick?"

Atletico stared at each other for a long time with caring eyes, and then pointed to the carbon fiber composite back cover in his hand and said: "The answer is in your hands, why do you still want to ask me?"

Looking down at the back cover with a circle of clips and rubber gaskets on the edge, Liu Haiyang seemed to understand, "It's just a removable cover and replaceable battery design, shouldn't it be so bad? ”

"It's different," Atletico shook his head and explained: "It's also IP68 waterproof and dustproof, and ordinary mobile phones are barely up to standard in a laboratory environment, but they may not be able to play well in reality." Professional rugged mobile phones can pass in the simulation environment, and they are also easily competent in reality. And what brings all this is naturally a more professional and heavier shell. ”

"What I didn't say, false propaganda, is another piece of nonsense. ”

"It's not the same thing at all, right? Also, you don't use their phones, is it really good to follow the trend like this?"

Liu Haiyang rolled his eyes, "You can't evaluate it if you haven't used it?"

"I also think that what they do is very stupid, and there is no such caution as the old manufacturers should have," Atletico shook his head, "but since people have politely admitted their mistakes, let's not worry about these things, and look forward!"

"This is not like the attitude of a competitor," Lao Liu tilted his head, but still let go of the topic and reached out to open his mobile phone.

A little starlight appeared on the black screen, and the Big Dipper rotated around the North Star, and the familiar system desktop appeared in front of him.

The startup speed is a little slower, and it is still in an acceptable range. Glancing at the seven-star Beidou logo in the upper right corner, it was in a gray unavailable state, reaching out and clicking, and soon saw the system prompt: "No satellite signal detected, please remove the surrounding obstructions, and aim the antenna area behind the mobile phone at the sky above the equator." ”

Wang, who is also an engineer majoring in computer science, Liu Haiyang is still clear about the advantages and disadvantages of satellite terminals, and understands that these products will be blind when they arrive at closed scenes such as carriage cabins and rooms, but he still can't help but pick up his mobile phone and shake it in front of Atletico Madrid: "This is not good, as soon as you enter the cabin, you will drop the line, what will you play in the future?"

Atletico Madrid's face was indifferent, and he raised his finger to the top of his head, "With this steel plate in the way, it is not easy to use any satellite." If you have to connect the Beidou in the cabin, you can buy another Beidou box and put it outside. ”

"Then what kind of Beidou mobile phone is tossed? Isn't it okay to connect the box directly to an ordinary mobile phone?"

"It can't be helped, you can't have it both ways, and weight loss usually comes with a loss of function. ”

"Then what about your users? Either stay outside and play with your mobile phone, or buy another Beidou box, so that there are two cards!"

At yesterday's "Mountains and Seas Connected" press conference, Atletico Madrid appeared as the chief spokesperson of the bee brand and grandly launched the newly established Beidou Huanyu Network integrated service platform, and then the CEOs of subsidiaries such as Bee Mobile Wei Huailiang, Bee Game Xu Zhong, and Bee Network Zeng Xuenong came to the stage one after another, and took out the "Beidou +" products that had been prepared for a long time.

"Beidou Star 3" was preemptively exposed by Atletico Madrid, Wei Huailiang had to take the Beidou box 3 to make up the number, through this external Beidou short message terminal, ordinary mobile phones can also send "Beidou SMS", which is very suitable for emergency backup of the crew of the donkey.

However, Bee is not satisfied with the low-frequency application scenario of emergency communication, and once again offers tried and tested tricks, playing two cards of artificial intelligence and games in a row.

Using deep learning technology, Bee Research Institute has developed an ultra-low traffic query application "Bee Eye Quick Check" for Bee Network, which can save 75%~95% of the traffic demand by solving the feature code locally instead of sending the original image. Equipped with the Worldwide Stream-Saving Browser, which is also equipped with an artificial intelligence filtering and compression engine, users can easily understand the world's affairs even if they are in the depths of the ocean.

As for Bee Games, it has launched the so-called "Universal Game Platform" in a big tone, claiming to provide players around the world with "real-global games" that can be easily played in the mountains, deserts, seas, and planes. It's just that due to the "communication rate" of Beidou short messages, these games are turn-based card pushing games with weak interaction, and the game experience lags behind ordinary mobile games by three or four years.

"I tried that bee eye quick check, and I feel okay, although the query accuracy has been reduced a lot, but it is basically enough," after a pause, Liu Haiyang gloated: "Now, the three major operators must hate you even more." ”

"They are not so careful, the video can be cached offline, the query information can not be cached, the frequency of use has increased, and the final traffic will still be considerable. ”

"You can see it," shaking his chin, Liu Haiyang is still a little not optimistic about Atletico Madrid's Beidou strategy, "I feel that you have made a wrong move, in fact, you shouldn't toss this." ”

"How?"

"It's too expensive, three cents for a text message, two thousand yuan a year, such a communication cost, can't be spread out at all?"

Sanmao one, two-year annual package is only the approximate billing standard, different operators according to their own operating costs and business forms, the asking price of "Beidou SMS" is also slightly different, the overall is gradually decreasing. Of course, in any case, the cost of satellites is higher than that of base stations, and the cost of playing games with Beidou satellites is higher than that of traffic, and it cannot be compared with iFi, which can be compared with those SMS interactive games in the earliest days.

"It's okay, it's just a few thousand dollars, and it's not a problem for fishermen and travelers. What the fishermen lack is the money to buy a large steel-hulled boat to refuel them, and the funds to buy another set of equipment are still available. As for travelers, even if it takes some cost to play a poor trip, a multi-functional outdoor mobile phone that is easy to use is still a must, and it can save lives at critical moments. ”

"How many of them are there? There are only more than 300,000 ocean fishing boats in the country, and how many fishermen can go out to sea? There are even fewer travelers, and most people are still used to going to well-known scenic spots to see people, just like them. If you continue to play like this, when will you be able to recover the cost, and Xiao Narrow and Heavy Vertical is not playing like this!"

This is the so-called new trend of Internet entrepreneurship put forward by entrepreneurs after summarizing the development law of popular projects such as takeaway platforms, online taxis, shared bicycles, and shared charging treasures, so as to repeatedly encourage entrepreneurs to "be killers in subdivided fields, so that giants have no gaps".

"At present, satellite communication does mean something small," Atletico nodded and shook his head, "but it's not heavy enough, when we let the global platform access BGAN, Shuraya, and the second-generation Iridium, and then build our own low-orbit communication satellite network, expand users to the world, you will not be too late to say so." ”

Lao Liu blinked, "Isn't Iridium already bankrupt?

"The original Iridium that was too ambitious was indeed bankrupt, and now this Iridium, which focuses on field communications, is alive and well, and in 07 it also proposed the second-generation Iridium plan and hired SpaceX to put satellites for them. As for the other two, BGAN is the abbreviation of Inmarsat Broadband, which is actually not wide at all, and Shuraya also has a name called Eurostar. ”

As soon as he talked about Maritime Satellite and Eurostar, Liu Haiyang immediately understood, "I'm dizzy, your ambitions are really big, this is to benchmark the rhythm of Google and Facebook?"

In order to better develop users, Google has launched Project Loon, Facebook has launched a solar-powered drone Aquila and an Internet satellite Amos-6, but the progress is not very smooth and is still in the early stages.

Hearing this, Atletico raised his chin slightly, "Can't you have a little dream?"
