Actually, for touch, typing is not a problem at all.

Even, he is not a problem at all.

Touch typing, compared to key typing, I don't know how much more convenient.

It's just a pity that at a time when touch typing hadn't really started to catch on, people would definitely think that touch typing was a hassle. Even, even if someone thinks of using touch typing, the developed product will not be liked by users.

But in fact, when you get used to it, you will find that the real inconvenience is to use the keyboard.

However, Zhang Ning obviously didn't want to explain too much about the reasons for this.

Before smartphones appeared, before virtual keyboard typing became popular, Zhang Ning couldn't explain it at all.

Even if Zhang Ning explained, they couldn't understand it.

Of course, this is also a good thing.

It is precisely because this aspect is so innovative that Zhang Ning does not have to worry that others will develop such innovations in advance.

Because it is easy to innovate, it is difficult to promote innovation.

Zhang Ning is willing to bet that there are many innovations about smartphones in the world, and there are some experts or scholars, or some professors, who have also thought about and developed a new product based on such innovations. However, in the end, they are still just thinking. Because, they also don't know whether the developed product will be popular. Like, typing with touch, will the user accept it?

The answer is that they don't think they will.

Because there are companies that have already produced mobile phones without keyboards.

"Any questions?"

Zhang Ning looked at Robin.

"This, not for the time being."

Robin felt a little dizzy, he felt confused by Zhang Ning today, but he subconsciously felt that today's mp3 might really affect the world.

"Well, since it's gone, Huang Zhang, you can improve the content mentioned in our meeting just now. For example, what kind of glass screen should we use, how should we operate our touch, where should our camera be installed, and can we enable more other functions...... Wait a minute. ”

"Of course, Robin, your task is no longer as easy as it used to be."

"I know."

Robin smiled wryly.

Before, he thought that he would just need to build a simple mp3 operating system.

In fact, an operating system like MP3 is not difficult at all.

He doesn't need task management, he doesn't need memory configuration, he doesn't need window processing, etc.

But now, with the brand new mp3, he already has something like a computer system in general.

It's just that it's a stripped-down version of a personal computer system.

But no matter what, Robin knows that this is a big project, at least, not as easy as imagined.

And, in addition to this, there is one of the biggest challenges.

That is what Zhang Ning called touch.

Touch operation must be implanted into the MP3 operating system.

How developers define touch, and how users should touch actions, all need to be reconsidered.

A bad one, or a bad operation setting, it will affect the experience of the entire user, and in the end, even if such a product is good in other places, but the operation is not good, the whole product will also fail.

"Okay, in that case, let's get ready."

Clapping his hands, Zhang Ning prepared to dismiss the meeting.

……

Beidou Navigation System Yanjing Control Center.

Since the launch of the first Beidou navigation satellite in 2000, after several years, Beidou Navigation has launched a total of three Beidou-1 satellites, and initially formed a certain navigation and positioning capability. At the same time, under the premise of absorbing the global positioning system of the United States, Beidou navigation also combines positioning and information transmission. A full-featured satellite has been built that can not only locate but also communicate.

At this time, Professor Li Shouming, the person in charge of the Yanjing Control Center of the Beidou Navigation System, seemed a little anxious at this time.

"Xiao Wang, what are you talking about, the major domestic car manufacturers have refused to cooperate with our car navigation?"

"So, what's going on with the other shipping companies?"

"Okay, I got it."

Li Shouming's face was calm, although he had expected it, but when these companies refused, he still felt helpless.

He didn't blame the car manufacturers.

Although car manufacturers are the largest civilian service in navigation and positioning, your products are so poor that others can't use yours. In particular, the domestic model is not very good in the first place. If you install a navigation with low positioning accuracy, I am afraid that it will be a huge blow to their brand.

"Alas, it would be nice to be able to launch a few more satellites."

The Beidou navigation system was built not for civilian use, but for the military.

Although since 2000 three have been launched, there is already a certain navigation service.

However, 3 satellites are still too few and far from satisfying the military.

Recently, Li Shouming has repeatedly applied to the state, hoping to launch a few more, at least, more than 66 launches, so that the accuracy of Beidou navigation can reach within 50 meters. It is a pity that the state has not approved the funds on the grounds that the temporary navigation and positioning has met the needs of the military, and on the grounds that the military expenditure is insufficient.

Eventually, Li Shouming thought of a way.

Since there is no money on the part of the state, it is also a way to raise funds on your own.

For example, some of the functions of Beidou navigation will be commercialized first.

That looks like a good idea.

Since the country has no money, and it has earned its own money, it is okay to launch satellites when the time comes.

It's a pity that Beidou Navigation has only launched 3 satellites after all, and it is not a particularly mature positioning system.

Compared with GPS, which is cheap and highly accurate positioning system, Beidou navigation has no advantage at all.

In the end, companies involved in navigation and positioning in the civilian field all refused to cooperate.

"It seems that we can only apply for funds from the top again."

If the product is not done, it wants to be commercialized, although it seems that this is a little helpless, but this is too bluffing.

If it were Li Shouming himself, he would not agree.

There is no way, Li Shouming is ready to apply again to see if he can succeed.

However, the secretary on the side said on the side.

"Professor Li, some other companies refused, but there is one company that is suddenly interested in our Beidou navigation?"

"Which one?"

"Penguins."

"You're talking about the Penguin Company?"

Li Shouming was suddenly a little excited and said quickly.

"Yes, Penguin founder Zhang Ning would like to have time to meet with you."

"Great, Xiao Wang, you talk to Zhang Ning, just say that he can come to us at any time."

……

The next day, Zhang Ning went to the Beidou Navigation Yanjing System Center that he had agreed with Professor Li before.

The center is located in an inconspicuous small building on the outskirts of Yanjing, but even if it is such a small building, after Zhang Ning entered, he had to go through three investigation posts in a row, and then he entered the Beidou navigation inside.

"Mr. Zhang Ning, I'm really sorry, it's really troublesome to come in here."

The guard who picked up Zhang Ning came in said to Zhang Ning apologetically.

"It's fine."

Zhang Ning didn't mind, this kind of state secret agency, if any person can enter and exit, it would be too worrying.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang Ning for your understanding, let's go, I'll take you to see Professor Li."

After the guard finished speaking, he took Zhang Ning to the third floor and knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in."

Following the guards in, Zhang Ning saw an old man in his 50s sitting at his desk, carefully looking at a copy of the text.

"Professor Li, Mr. Zhang Ning is here."

The guard called Li Shouming softly.

It's just that Li Shouming didn't seem to hear it, and still kept looking at Wen Jiàn.

The guard whispered apologetically to Zhang Ning again.

"Mr. Zhang Ning, I'm sorry, Professor Li is a scientific research maniac. There were a lot of times when we were on the sidelines, and he didn't even know it. ”

"It's okay, I'll just wait for Professor Li on the side."

"Okay, you wait here."

After a while, the guard brought another glass of water, "Mr. Zhang Ning, let's drink a glass of water first." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Ning took the guard's teacup, took a sip of water, and sat aside.

After waiting for about ten minutes, seeing that Li Shouming still didn't seem to have any reaction, he couldn't help but look at this office a little.

This office doesn't have a lot of high-tech equipment.

What Zhang Ning saw was one book after another and a notepad.

Just because this is the system center of Beidou navigation and is a state secret, Zhang Ning just looked at it, and didn't look too seriously. With his eyes closed, he waited intently for Li Shouming.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a voice sounded in the office.

"Xiao Wang, what's the matter, has Mr. Zhang Ning been invited?"

"Professor Li, you are too serious, Mr. Zhang Ning, aren't you sitting here?"

The guard smiled and pointed at Zhang Ning.

"Ah, he's coming."

Hearing the guard's answer, Li Shouming turned his head to look, only to find that the other party had already come.

"Mr. Zhang Ning, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I took care of you just now."

Taking off his reading glasses, Li Shouming walked quickly in front of Zhang Ning.

"Where, where, Professor Li, I'm just here."

For a technology maniac like this, Zhang Ning also stood up quickly and looked very respectful.

The two shook hands and sat down separately.

At this time, the guard who led the way for Zhang Ning also naturally left the office at this time.

At this time, only Zhang Ning and Li Shouming remained.

"Mr. Zhang Ning, I'm very interested in you."

Li Shouming sat down, looked at Zhang Ning, and said with great interest.

"Professor Li, what is not Mr. No, compared to you, where can I afford Mr., let's call me Zhang Ning."

If it is in business, others call him Mr., Zhang Ning doesn't care.

However, for an academic madman like this, Mr. Yi, Zhang Ning really feels a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I have always admired you very much. I think that if there are no scientists like you in China, we don't know how many years behind Europe and the United States will lag behind Europe and the United States in scientific construction. ”

"Haha, Zhang Ning, you are too modest, okay, then I will call your name directly. However, we are not as good as you say, speaking of which, we are a technology nerd who lives in a house, and it is good to be able to research a little something, but I am afraid that sometimes we will study for a few years, or even decades, without a breakthrough. ”

"Science always takes time to explore and verify, and without your exploration, our country would not be able to progress."

"Haha, Zhang Ning Xiaoyou, it's rare for you to see it so clearly. It's just a pity......"

"What a pity?"

"Nothing."

Li Shouming suddenly stopped the topic, diverted the topic and said, "By the way, Zhang Ning Xiaoyou, it is said that you want to cooperate with our Beidou navigation system?" ”

"Yes, there is this idea."

Zhang Ning nodded.

"I think that in the future, navigation and positioning services will become more and more popular, and the Beidou navigation system is a domestically developed technology, so whether it is from the security aspect or from other aspects, I want to use our own country's technology."

"Yes, although foreign navigation technology is good, there are potential safety hazards on a large number of courses. Take GPS navigation, for example, although GPS accuracy is among the best in the world, down to the millimeter. But for civilian use, it can only be accurate to 10 meters. Of course, accurate to 10 meters is already very good. But the point is that the United States has mastered a completely new technology. In exceptional cases, he can adjust the accuracy of an area. ”

"Not only that, the popularity of GPS has also brought a great threat to national security."

Li Shouming talked eloquently.

"That's true, that's why I'm here with you, Professor Li."

Zhang Ning also nodded.

That's right, although GPS is good, but after all, it is a foreign technology.

Normally, there may not be a big problem, but when it comes to the critical moment, it shows a big effect.

As Li Shouming said just now, when the two countries go to war, or don't say war, and directly start an economic war, the other party can completely screen your GPS, which will not only bring a huge blow to the country, but also bring a huge impact on civilian commerce.

Moreover, GPS technology is the same as wireless communication technology standards, and the technology is in the hands of others. Even if others don't use this method to suppress you, they directly give other companies more advanced precision, but the authorization given to you is very low. This will also turn into a disadvantage in the future product competition.

"Great, it seems that Zhang Ning Xiaoyou is also a promising and patriotic young man."

"Professor Li praised me, I can't talk about patriotism, it's purely out of commercial considerations."

Of course, in his heart, Zhang Ning also has a lot of psychology that does not use foreign technology.

"Whether it's for business reasons or not, I'm very grateful to Zhang Ning Xiaoyou for being optimistic about our country's own technology. By the way, Zhang Ning Xiaoyou, I don't know what kind of cooperation you want to cooperate with our Beidou navigation? ”

There are many commercial services of Beidou navigation, in addition to traditional civil map positioning, there are meteorological applications, road traffic management, maritime services, aviation services, and emergency services...... Wait.

However, for civilian use, it is generally only navigation and positioning.

"Penguin is an Internet company, I think, it should be a map navigation service."

"It seems that Professor Li also knows a lot about the Internet."

"Where, I'm just a layman, I'm ashamed of myself compared to an expert like you."

Li Shouming smiled.

However, Zhang Ning shook his head, "Civilian is generally a map navigation service, however, this map navigation service can be used in various products in the Internet, such as electronic maps, in the same way, he can also use instant messaging, social software, and even IT electronic products." ”

"Zhang Ning Xiaoyou is really an expert, I never thought that our navigation can be used in so many places."

Li Shouming's eyes also lit up, and he was a little excited in his heart.

If this is the case, then the civilian service of Beidou navigation can really be promoted to China through Penguin.

Of course, more importantly, Penguin has a lot of money, and through Penguin, it can also make a research fund.
