Chapter 155: Dream Phone
Duke is very excited to get the production materials of the screen and power supply module, these two components are two very important components in the mobile phone, as for the CPU and other system components, these parts of Duke are not expected, in the world of Billem has been out of the category of silicon, completely made of biotechnology, under the current level of earth technology, there is basically no possibility of production.
However, soon Duke was a little unhappy, there was really no big problem in the difficulty of producing the optical sensor module provided by Bille, and after studying and consulting the information for a few days, Duke roughly figured out that the production process of this thing is now completely feasible.
However, to build a factory according to the production process level of Billem, the equipment investment capital needs are relatively large, and the production and manufacturing standards of this thing, according to Duke's research, are not much lower than the requirements for manufacturing CPUs like Intel, and without an investment of more than one billion dollars, this factory does not want to be built at all.
And even if this thing can be produced, Duke sadly found that the energy power that this thing can produce is too small if it has a surface area as large as a mobile phone.
At such a small power, it is not a big problem to simply cope with the standby of the mobile phone, but it is completely impossible to support the call for the time being. Because the energy consumption of biotech-based CPUs and other components used by Bilem is very large compared to current mobile phones, this current has no problem coping with the CPU of biocomputers. But it's too hard to deal with the silicon-based components on the planet today.
Therefore, this light-sensing power supply system is just a chicken rib for Duke's dream phone, and at best it can play a complementary role in it.
First of all, the composite material process required to manufacture the display screen is more than the light power supply material, it is even more than that, to establish a display composite material production plant, the funds required are as high as billions of dollars, according to the conservative estimate of Duke's current research, at least more than 3 billion US dollars.
This is an ultra-high molecular weight composite material, the production process is extremely demanding, in the starry sky of Billem, such factories are built in low-gravity, dust-free space bases, so in order to meet this manufacturing environmental standard on Earth, a large number of high-precision intelligent environmental control equipment is required.
According to such a factory investment cost,The cost price of the screen produced under low production volume is quite high,If you look at the limit of the annual output of one million square meters of screen materials according to the limit of production capacity,That is, it is equivalent to 200 million 4-inch screen area,5 years of depreciation of equipment,The depreciation and amortization of equipment investment alone is about 3 US dollars per 4-inch screen single product,Of course, this is not counting investment interest,If you add other costs such as materials、Labor、Water and electricity,The total cost of this 4-inch screen is more than 40 US dollars。
Because in order to maintain the production environment of this factory and make it suitable for production, the energy consumption of this plant is extremely terrifying, in short, it is not much less than the energy consumption of a steelmaking or electrolytic aluminum plant.
Therefore, compared with the cost of more than 20 US dollars for the Apple mobile phone screen, the production and manufacturing cost of this screen is much more than it, and the depreciation and amortization of the equipment is more than double.
Of course, to sell 200 million high-end mobile phones a year, no one will be stupid enough to believe this plan, so it is obviously a waste of production capacity to invest heavily in the construction of such a factory, just for the mobile phone screen, but if it cannot be produced at full capacity, then the depreciation and amortization will be very high, assuming that only 20 million 4-inch screen materials are produced, the amortization cost of each 4-inch screen will skyrocket to 30 US dollars.
This price is clearly unacceptable. Considering that the consumption of mobile phone screens may not reach the limit of production capacity, Duke carefully studied the characteristics of this display provided by Billem, and found that in addition to the particularly high display accuracy, which can no longer be measured by the current resolution standard of the earth, the three-dimensional effect is strong, the use of energy consumption is extremely low, there is no refresh time, and it also has a fairly high flexibility, is easy to cut, and can be easily and seamlessly spliced into a large screen.
Compared with the current professional display on the market, this material can not only easily manufacture a display within 100 inches, but also can be spliced into a large screen of any size, compared with the current mainstream LED, the effect is completely different.
This discovery makes Duke very excited, the new dream phone seems to be temporarily unsuccessful, although the two things given by Bilem are good for the current mobile phone, there are certain bonuses, but it is difficult to obtain an overwhelming technical advantage, but this screen is very promising if it is applied in the field of professional high-end displays.
Unexpectedly, it was originally to get the technology of a mobile phone, but it turned out to be a stepping stone to enter the field of displays.
It's just that this thing can't be taken out all at once, and Duke has to plan to recruit a few experts in research and display materials, and then slowly inspire and induce the re-"development" of this new type of display materials. This process will take at least several months, and it is just through this time to raise the corresponding funds for the construction of the factory.
Since there are not many improvements that can be made in hardware, Duke has set his sights on the software aspect, IOS is Apple's private collection, and Duke has nothing to do. Andriod is an open-source system, and Duke downloads the source code and leaves it to Kerry for optimization.
Initially, Kerry kept the original architecture unchanged, and after optimizing the inefficient and redundant code in the existing system, the performance of the whole system was improved by no less than 30% in the simulation test. This optimized version seamlessly integrates with current third-party software developed by Andriod, which is quite impressive for a mature software platform.
But Duke is not satisfied, such performance is not enough to stand out in the current mobile phone operating system. To break the current mobile phone ecosystem, Duke needed a stronger system.
Since the original architecture has reached a dead end, Duke decided to break the original system architecture, in addition to retaining the basic subsystems related to hardware, Duke remodeled the system architecture, reconstructed the application framework, discarded the support for JA.VA, and directly used pure C++ to re-optimize and rewrite all the basic applications of the mobile phone.
