The sad Joanna received an order from the unscrupulous boss, and was still the boss who did not pay the salary, and went out to run the mission after breakfast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Su Jingzhen was very proud, and caught a strong man, but he didn't run himself, he also needs to become a strong man, this is how to be an entity at home, much busier than other industries, there will be a lot of specific things, that is as comfortable as doing finance, just sit in the office and analyze.

Within a month, Su Jingzhen set up a team with NYU mechanical and electrical students as the main researchers, and hung this research team under the company as an independent studio.

From the circuit diagram to the appearance design drawing, from the Walkman VCD, in order to design the product as soon as possible, Su Jingzhen bought a large number of Walkman and CD players, especially Sony products, basically Su Jingzhen will not let go.

In '94, Sony launched the first cassette walkman with a metal body, the Walkman-EX1, with a vertical opening design, an ultra-thin body, and 2 DDB sound effects.

For the first time, the functions have introduced automatic search for 9 songs before and after, 25 times high-speed rewind, and automatic front and back playback, all of which are currently the most advanced configurations.

Su Jingzhen bought 20 units in one go, dismantled them, and the task of the research team was to dismantle them, and reverse map the structure and circuit design inside.

It is definitely not possible to play such a high-end Walkman from the beginning, not only can the design team not imitate it, but there is no such technical condition on the production side.

If you can't do it vertically, you can't do it, so you can do it horizontally, and the functions of front and back nine curves and wire control can't be realized, so don't do it.

In the end, the designed product is thinner than Sony's, because it abandons a lot of functions that cannot be realized, but the basic functions are basically complete, and the appearance is designed with rounded corners, and under the premise of realizing the metal shell, the corners are all rounded, making the machine feel better.

Su Jingzhen held a handmade cassette walkman in his hand, felt the three-centimeter-thick body, plugged in a most ordinary 3.5mm plug headphone, pressed the ultra-short-range membrane button, and listened to the singing of thesoundofsilence to his ears, Su Jingzhen nodded slightly, the basic functions have been realized, and it can be launched into the market.

"Hey, this is the inner tank design that we have studied after referring to Sony and other Walkmans, the drawings are all there, and the technology inside is also explained, you can take it to apply for a patent, and it must be registered before the product is launched, don't let others sue." Victoria grimaced, handing over a stack of documents as she explained what it was.

There was no way, Su Jingzhen knew only Victoria in the Engineering Academy, so he had to come to the door again for help, he thought that he would eat until he hung up, and was ready to go directly to the teacher if Victoria didn't help, but I don't know why, although Victoria had a cold face, she didn't refuse Su Jingzhen.

This time, she was busy bringing in all the people who could do this in the engineering institute, recruited them into Su Jingzhen's research team, and helped him study the Walkman, Su Jingzhen asked her what was wrong, but Victoria looked down on him and told the reason.

Well, when it comes to privacy, Su Jingzhen swore not to say this to others, so even if he knew the answer, he hid it in his heart, but he knew why Victoria always had a gloomy face when she faced him.

"I'm going to leave this to Joanna, how is the other team doing with the CD player? My request is still like this Walkman, all-aluminum body, thin, and some other more complex functions are not in a hurry to study first, first get the most basic ones, I can hand them over to the factory to produce. Su Jingzhen glanced at Victoria, who had a gloomy face, took the information and flipped through it before moving on to the design of another product.

"That's not difficult, and you also recommended some peers to us, every day the two sides are exchanging different design ideas, and now we have designed several VCDs out, waiting for you to confirm which one to do first. Victoria said expressionlessly, and took Su Jingzhen to the next workshop, which is where the design VCD team worked.

"Fortunately, I got help from the school, otherwise if I rented an office outside, I wouldn't know how to transport you between the college and the studio. Su Jingzhen walked into this workshop, which was divided into two parts, in front of it was a large workbench, which was full of dismantled VCDs, as well as all kinds of messy tools, and there were several desks inside, and there were also a few Dell 486 computers on them.

"Adams, you come and tell him, I don't have time to deal with him. Victoria brought Su Jingzhen into the workshop, beckoned to the desk, and called a graduate student from the School of Engineering, and she flashed directly.

Su Jingzhen looked at Victoria's distant figure a little helplessly, and smiled bitterly.

She has always been like this, otherwise with her conditions, countless people would have chased her to the gate of the academy. Adams is the specific person in charge of VCD design, and he has met Su Jingzhen a few times, and when he saw Victoria flash like this, he had to explain very reluctantly.

"It's okay, I'm used to it, I heard her say that the products are all designed?" Su Jingzhen mainly came to see the design of VCD, so he didn't talk nonsense and went directly to the topic.

"Come here, because of the help of your researchers, the research work of VCD has been very smooth, every time you change the circuit diagram, you can immediately test the data results, which is too much help, so now the designed products can be directly put on the production line, and there is no need to change anything. Yuan Guanghua also found a group of people in China to study VCD, so Su Jingzhen summed it up, and simply connected it directly, and the two sides regularly exchanged each other's research data, and there was a big collision of ideas, and it seems that the effect is okay at present.

"We have polished these shells manually, but at the factory, the production line has been debugged, and we can directly produce according to this shape, but the current aluminum is not cheap, and I think the all-aluminum body will weaken the cost performance of this machine. On the edge of the workbench, Adams pointed to a square empty shell and said to Su Jingzhen.

Su Jingzhen looked at the five different aluminum alloy shells in front of him, the size was basically the same, only about seven or eight centimeters high, and the panel design was very simple, and it could even be said to be simple.

"Bare metal here, this set of circuit boards can be installed into these five different shells, as long as different functional modules are installed on the circuit board, different functions can be realized, different grades of products can be formed, and we have referred to a lot of Japanese production and design of optical disc players in the design, pondering their design ideas, so to a certain extent, it can be integrated with their design advantages on the optical disc player, so in error correction and miniaturization, we still have certain advantages. Adams said as he began to install the bare metal into an aluminum case.

"What about the cost? Did the factory calculate the specific cost?" Su Jingzhen was most concerned about the cost.

"If I make it by hand, the cost is probably more than 200 dollars, if I purchase chips in large quantities, the cost can be controlled within 200 dollars, and the specific amount depends on the control of the factory. As a result of his daily research, Adams was already quite familiar with the machine, and it was installed in a short time.

"This is a remote control, and it is also handmade, so it can barely be used, but the specific circuit diagram has been sent to the factory, and the actual product should be much smaller than this. Adams fished out a palm-wide plastic remote control from the workbench and shrugged his shoulders embarrassedly when he handed it to Su Jingzhen.

Su Jingzhen looked at the VCD that was only the size of the Saturn machine, and looked at the palm-wide remote control in his hand, and he didn't know what to say, this style was also quite intoxicating.

"In fact, this VCD can be rebuilt a little smaller, as long as you choose some high-end capacitors, you can reduce the height again, and many of the chips in this are what we are looking for in school, and now after upgrading, there are already smaller ones, but that costs money to buy, you know Victoria's, she doesn't allow us to spend money indiscriminately, so ......"

Su Jingzhen also patted his head, why did he tell her to save a little at that time?

"I went back and told her that I should buy whatever chips I wanted, and try to miniaturize the machine, which is the general direction of future design, and you have to start thinking about the design of multi-disc players. Su Jingzhen and Adams connected the line to the TV, and as soon as he pressed the remote control, the VCD began to operate, and the drawer-type tray opened silently, with only a very small noise between entering and exiting.

Adams continued to pull on the workbench, found a plastic covered disc storage bag, handed the disc to Su Jingzhen first, and said: "Look at this disc, the reading data has been worn here, if it is an ordinary VCD machine, it should be difficult to read the data inside." ”

Su Jingzhen nodded, he saw that there was indeed a little flower on the disc, and it looked like it was played often.

Adams put the disc into the tray, and as soon as he pressed his hand, the tray went in automatically, and then ......

The disc is successfully read, and the playback begins, and the intro sounds.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Su Jingzhen couldn't help choking, what is this?

"I heard that this mythical drama is quite popular in your side, and the people in China specially airlifted a set to us, just for us to test the machine. Adams saw that Su Jingzhen seemed to have some unbearable feelings, so he hurriedly began to explain.

Su Jingzhen listened to the familiar sound of electronic reverberation, watched the monkey burst out of the stone, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"This is Journey to the West, one of the four famous novels of our country, ancient myths and stories, I can see this at home every summer vacation before I came to the United States. ”
