Chapter 479: Squirrel
As an "information squirrel patient" whose "condition" is deepening, Atletico has always been full of interest in collecting all kinds of useful and useless information and knowledge.
And in addition to constantly downloading various books and articles from myself, he is also full of interest in hands-on experiments. There are many benefits to personally verifying the experiment, and he is not short of money, so he can't miss it. This not only allows him to identify misinformation in a timely manner, but also makes it easier for him to deepen his impression.
Due to technical reasons, the information downloaded into his body is not directly written into his memory, but stored in the storage area of e7u in the form of digital files, which is equivalent to an offline library in his body that can be queried at any time, which is very convenient. But the premise of the query is that he must have his own purpose and search criteria, otherwise he can only casually flip through the book or look at the catalog index one by one. And hands-on experiments are undoubtedly a good way to form impressions and memories.
Of course, not all experiments have to be repeated, some are not interested in Atletico for the time being, and some are not possible due to conditions. For example, he is very interested in the "tokamak ring" (tokamak, high-temperature plasma magnetic confinement device), the "artificial sun" sounds very sensitive, and the construction cost of up to hundreds of millions can be taken out by gritting his teeth, but even if he wants to, he can't find anyone to help him build this, nuclear fusion research such a tall research project has always been the patent of a big country, and a civilian science like him can only watch and cheer from afar.
In general, Atletico's hands-on experiments were mainly focused on software and electronics, and later gradually expanded to the fields of mechanics and biology, especially various multidisciplinary fields, which are his favorite today.
Although these studies are not in-depth, and few pure theoretical and pure pioneering studies are designed, mainly staying at the research and expansion of applied technologies, and many of them start from imitating and transforming other people's ready-made technologies, these wayward experiments have produced many beneficial results. The strong personal style of Atletico Madrid made the trial process full of his brain-opening casual actions, many of which were played by him and failed, but there were always successes.
Modern society is an era of knowledge explosion, and the rapid increase in technology has made experts more and more specialized, and outside of their field of study, they will become "illiterate". It's not that experts don't have scientific literacy, it's that the rapid development of science and technology doesn't wait for anyone, and if they don't take the initiative to obtain information and learn, they will naturally be "abandoned" in various ways.
Technologists in the professional field not only have to read and track papers in their own disciplines, but also design and conduct experiments, write reports, hold meetings to attract investment, and have little free time to read the latest progress in other disciplines. In this case, Atletico Madrid, who is a patient with information squirrel disease, has a unique advantage, and his knowledge reserve and knowledge are the widest and most up-to-date on the planet.
Therefore, in recent years, Atletico Madrid's "research" direction has gradually shifted to interdisciplinary applications, and from time to time it has been able to come up with some very wonderful technologies, and gradually established the Mars brand in the integration of the latest technology, which can be regarded as an expert.
These technologies naturally became Atletico's technical assets, and he chose the opportunity to license them to Bee and other companies, adding luster to his status as a "science billionaire". Many bee products have benefited a lot from this, and now there are two watches on the wrists of Atletico Madrid and Tang Jiayi.
In fact, Tang Jiayi still likes this watch in her hand, just looking at the appearance, this watch is not much worse than those famous watches, and it also has its own unique charm.
Its most striking feature is that there is no common crown knob next to the dial, and there are no buttons or anything, and there are no other details on the simple and classic case, except for the eye-catching round dial, and the completely symmetrical watch will not be inconsistent with which hand it is worn.
The absence of a crown does not mean that this watch cannot be timed, although the redesigned quartz movement is very accurate, and there is basically no need to align the time, but those users who often travel long distances still have the need to adjust the time zone to daylight saving time, so the bee still prepares a time alignment function for this watch, users can not only let the watch automatically adjust the time through the radio wave timing, but also can be manually set after connecting the mobile phone.
The watch has two communication methods, Bluetooth low energy and optical communication, and the former is the main, the optical communication function is mainly used in fast time alignment, pick up the dial and gently pat it on another bee watch, you can "copy" the latter's time setting.
Compared with other smart watches and most smart bracelets, the bee watch is actually more like an ordinary watch, although it has an action sensor, which can sense the arm action and record the number of steps, but the analysis and processing require the cooperation of mobile phone applications. Similarly, its 63 man-made gemstone indicators (3 more on the bee logo) are more like an enlarged version of the breathing lamp, which can be used to express more meaning in "light language", but if you want to check the details directly, you still have to go back to your phone.
The reason for this design, Atletico naturally has his considerations, fingers rubbing the men's limited edition bee watch on his left hand, he said: "The opponent of smart watches is not mobile phones, but other watches. In the future, smart watches may be able to beat mobile phones, and maybe in the future, everyone will have a personal terminal similar to a Mass Effect universal tool, but now, the enemy of smart watches is first of all other traditional watches, after all, it is less difficult to let people who are used to representatives change watches than people who are not used to representatives. ”
"Is it lower?"
"It's obviously not difficult to get rid of those special users who have a watch for a lifetime and loyal users who only wear one brand, and win over ordinary users like us!" Atletico smiled and nodded to the sapphire protective glass of the watch.
For the two of them, although they often wear watches, it is all from the advice of the dress consultant, the choice of watch style is to match the clothes and scenes, and they don't care too much about the specific brand, these watches are not very cheap, and they have become cousins and cousins. On the contrary, the watch that is now worn by the two of them is the cheapest of all watches. Although it is not expensive, this is its own product after all, of course, you must take the lead in supporting it as an example, and wearing a watch designed by yourself/your husband to go out is also a very face-saving and artistic elegant thing.
"Since the target is a traditional watch, then we have to design for the characteristics of the watch, and it still makes sense that 'no one has me, and someone has me'. As for 'people are good and I am cheap', forget it, low-end watches are not even worn by elementary school students now. ”
"The watches worn by primary school students are not necessarily very low-end!" Tang Jiayi said with a smile, the kind of anti-loss watch for primary school students on the market is not cheap, and it is even more expensive than some low-end entry mobile phones. In fact, this kind of watch is a wrist phone, which can be inserted into a phone card to achieve tracking and positioning and voice calls.
Because it is a competitor of the bee anti-loss token, Tang Jiayi has also seen the information of these anti-loss watches. However, although they are mentioned, they are not actually regarded as opponents, mainly because of the size of this kind of watch, the battery life is very touching, and the actual sales are not as good as the anti-lost token. The latter is the original anti-loss patch, and finally in order to achieve the 72-hour battery life index, it had to be fattened, and it became a tablet shape similar to a mobile phone battery, which can still be installed in clothes, but the concealment is slightly lower, of course, it is much better than the eye-catching and conspicuous anti-loss table.
"In the final analysis, the battery is not good," Ms. Tang said, "If you have a Golden Dragon battery now, it can only mean that you don't have a mobile phone." ”
"Oh, what about the Golden Dragon battery, I'm very satisfied with a copper dragon battery now. So for the sake of battery life, you can only sacrifice other functions, and the battery life of the smart watch cannot be compared with the mobile phone that gives up treatment, but with the watch!"
"Actually, it still can't be compared. ”
"So we also have radio wave timing and ceramic shells, and the attraction of these two high-end technologies naturally increases greatly. ”
Looking at the watch on her wrist, Tang Jiayi couldn't help but sigh, "I still feel a little unsafe." It's not that expensive to use only domestic signals when the radio waves are right, and this ceramic shell can be made like mine. ”
The watch she had just put on had an ivory jade luster, which looked like a jewel luster, which was very eye-catching. Elephants are protected animals, ivory products are contraband, and bees naturally can't know the law, so the shell of this watch is actually a man-made gemstone.
The bee watch is only available in two colors, ivory and obsidian, as well as for men and women. The one on her wrist is a limited commemorative edition, and the edges of the case and bracelet can transmit light, which looks hazy translucent, further strengthening the "gem" temperament and looking even better.
"This husband can't do it!" Atletico raised his hand in surrender, "The ceramic shells are all opaque, and this translucent case is made by special technology, and the output can't go up." ”
"Can't you just make it with transparent zirconium drills?"
"No, it's more expensive, zirconium diamonds are also diamonds, second only to diamonds in hardness, and polishing is very time-consuming. ”
Zirconia is usually a white odorless and odorless powder, which can be used as a raw material to make colorless and transparent, hard texture only softer than diamond, low-cost artificial gemstones, namely cubic zirconia (CU forced czirconia), also known as zirconium drills, CZ drills, and Soviet drills. If a trace amount of other metal oxides are incorporated during crystallization, the crystal color can also be changed, making it into yellow, orange, red, green, purple, pink, golden brown and other colors of colored crystals, or "colored diamonds".
Because it is synthetic, the cleanliness and regularity of colored diamond crystals are much better than those of natural diamonds, and large zirconium diamonds are easier to obtain than large diamonds. It's not that the two of them are too poor to afford genuine diamonds, it's just that large diamonds are too valuable to wear and play with, unlike zirconium diamonds that are broken and lost.
Besides, although the value of zirconia diamonds is not very high, but it is better than a large number, Atletico Madrid has several studios at home, and Tang Jiayi also got her a gem house, which is piled with a thick layer of artificial gems of various colors. Under the illumination of the light, the gem facets are refracted and reflected all kinds of light and shadow, which still looks very attractive, anyway, among the women who have lived in the horse house, up to Tang Ma Lu Wei, down to the little nanny, everyone likes to go there, as for sesame seeds and sweet sweet, they are too young to see the gems will be stuffed into their mouths, and they dare not bring them over.
There is a small gemstone factory in the hands of Atletico Madrid, which is used to produce these large and beautiful artificial gemstones, which are not sold out but purely for their own use.
In addition to being used to make artificial gemstones, zirconia has a hard texture, high melting point, corrosion resistance, and is also a very excellent ceramic material, from small all-ceramic teeth to large gas turbine turbines.
Traditional ceramics are made by mixing natural clay and other natural mineral powders and then shaping and firing, mainly complex substances formed by silicates such as aluminum silicate, which are traditionally the same silicate industry as cement, glass, and refractory bricks. In modern times, ceramics refer to all inorganic non-metallic solid materials.
Therefore, bee watches that use silica ZRO2 ultrafine powder as raw materials to produce case bracelets through powder metallurgy technology should be classified as ceramic watches.
Atletico Madrid's choice of ceramic as the material of the bee watch shell is to fancy its wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant and gemstone luster characteristics, although plastic and aluminum alloy are lighter, but the wear resistance is much worse. The wear resistance of the product is determined by its surface hardness, it is only the diamond that can scratch the zirconia, the wear resistance is of course proper, and as an artificial gem material, the zirconia ceramics that have been polished and polished naturally have a jade light similar to gemstones, which is conducive to improving the appearance and grade of the product.
It can be said that in addition to the toughness is not as good as metals and plastics, and it may be broken in case of collision, zirconia ceramics basically have no shortcomings, and fragility is also a common problem of ceramics, which can only be made up for by other technical means and is difficult to eradicate. Usually ceramic watches will be more honest and less angular, just to avoid bruising either the edges and corners, or the hard edges and corners of other objects, which is not a good result, which is not surprising to the bee watch.
At the same time, the shape design of this round head and round brain is also related to the production process of ceramic parts, and the hard texture of them cannot be liquefied and molded like plastic, nor can they be cut and forged like metal, and can only be formed by powder metallurgy firing at one time. First, the ultra-fine zirconia powder is placed in the mold and heated under pressure, so that the finished parts can be directly obtained after sintering and cooling, and sometimes there are post-processing processes such as quenching and oil immersion grinding to further improve the performance of the parts.
In general, because of the need for high temperature and high pressure in the production process, there are not too many complex structures on the ceramic parts, which is why there are no microphones, horns, barometers and crowns and other parts on the bee watch, and one less hole can save a lot of trouble.
