Chapter 357: The Birth of the Smart Machine

Infinity companies, as usual, work intensely day after day.

In his spare time to deal with complicated documents, Chen Weidong will also visit major laboratories and ask about the progress of some projects.

In recent years, special laboratories have been put into use one after another, and they have gradually shown amazing results.

The members of the project team only need to input some relatively perfect experimental data into the robot master control program, and then the robot can repeat the steps.

For example, in microelectronics, researchers can make an electronic component that meets the requirements, but it is difficult to maintain the same quality for each component.

But now, in special laboratories, this impossibility has become possible.

By calling the same successful operating program, the success rate jumps to more than 80% at once, which is unimaginable!

The success of the special laboratory alarmed all the research departments of Infinity.

Before each experiment, countless researchers come to observe.

Looking at the laboratory, all the experimenters were amazed by the precise operation of the robot, and when they saw its final operation results, almost every researcher present had a bright light in their eyes.

The person in charge of the material department came, and the person in charge of the computer department came, including Zhao Gong, who was in charge of automation, also grinding Chen Weidong every day, hoping to equip them with such a special laboratory.

In order to better promote Industry 3.0 and prepare for the transformation of China's manufacturing industry.

Everyone can see that many repetitive operations in the future can be completed by special laboratories.

They are all looking forward to the future experimenters, the daily work is to sit in the main control room, use computer programs, select one successful experimental operation data record after another, and copy it into the robot's control system.

The biggest headache in the past is the perfect reproduction of successful experiments, and now no one needs to worry about it.

With this treasure in hand, the research efficiency of Infinity Company has suddenly increased several times!

After these well-established experimental procedures, data analysis, and comparison of failed experiments, researchers can quickly find the crux of the problem and propose improvement plans.

The experimental process of Infinity Company rushed to the fast lane, and achieved success after success at an incredible speed!

Under the strict regulation of each part in the automation department, the cost of setting up a special laboratory is only 60% higher than that of the original laboratory!

Who doesn't want something so good?

As soon as they saw the results of the special laboratory, all the research departments of Infinity sent application documents, asking for the establishment of a special laboratory.

Among them, the research and development progress of smart phones has made a breakthrough because of this.

The head of the mobile phone R&D department, He Zhao, saw Chen Weidong wandering around the laboratory and hurriedly ran over with a prototype.

As early as five years ago, Infinity and Symbian had a different disagreement on whether the system was open source.

The software department of Infinity believes that the open source system can better expand the market, let designers from all over the world participate, improve the ecology of the entire mobile phone system, and achieve the purpose of monopolizing the market.

But Saipan rejected the offer.

The Symbian system was developed by the Symbian company (led by Nokia), and its excellent and stable performance made them the absolute king of this period, and no opponent dared to shout.

Although other mobile phone brands can also use this system, they will need to pay a licensing fee of about $5 per mobile phone.

Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other mobile phone brands use the Symbian system, and the licensing fees they hand over to Symbian alone are as much as one billion dollars a year.

The management of Symbian was reluctant to give up this huge source of income, coupled with the uncertainty after open source, so it directly rejected Infinity's proposal to open source.

Faced with the arrogant Saipan company, Chen Weidong could only set up a smartphone research and development department.

The members of the R&D team have long had the ability to "copy" Nokia mobile phones, but Chen Weidong's request is to develop a "smart phone".

This stumped everyone.

At this time, people were very vague about the concept of "smart phones".

There is no real smartphone on the market that can be borrowed.

Therefore, the members of the project team can only continue to supplement and improve the functions of this mobile phone according to Chen Weidong's instructions.

The main components of a mobile phone can be roughly divided into five modules.

Processor, memory, input device, screen, battery.

Among them, the processor (chip) is the most important component, and a smart phone contains RF chips, RF power amplifier chips, processor chips, power management chips, memory chips, touch screen control chips, etc.

About twenty chips.

Fortunately, Infinity has a large number of microelectronics researchers, and supercomputers are unique in the world.

However, smart phone refers to a mobile operating system, which can be expanded by installing application software, games and other programs, and can be connected to wireless networks through mobile communication networks.

If you want to create a "smart phone" that surpasses all mobile phones in the world, the algorithm performance of the chip is very high.

Relying on the original way of thinking, it is obviously impossible to meet Chen Weidong's requirements.

Whether it is a computer or a mobile phone, although the processor can run tens of millions or hundreds of millions of times per second, the processor does not exist alone.

It needs to exchange data with memory, and temporarily store part of the calculation results in memory, so that it can continue to call the temporary calculation results to complete the calculation.

Other devices, such as processors and memory, need to exchange data over the system bus.

But the frequency of the bus is not so easy to increase.

After thinking about it, they saw the company's supercomputer system, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and decided to adopt a multi-core manufacturing method, integrating two processor cores in a chipset, which can effectively avoid data transmission restrictions and maximize the performance of the chip.

With the assistance of several laboratories, the mobile phone R&D department discussed for nearly a year before deciding on the final plan.

Finally, two years ago, the world's first dual-core mobile phone processor was manufactured.

After that, the researchers worked non-stop, gathered everyone's efforts, and worked hard to design the most efficient data processing pipeline structure.

And design the instruction set one by one, and finally draw the complete circuit diagram structure of the smart phone.

Self-developed chip, glass screen, multi-touch, camera......

Hundreds of parts and components, forming a complete palm-sized quadrilateral, represent the combination of the highest technology of mankind.

Chen Weidong suppressed the excitement in his heart, and pressed the power button on the side with some trembling.

Airplanes~

After a vibration, the iconic logo of Infinity jumps out of the screen, and then a picture of a robot lingers for a short time, and the picture enters the complete interface of the system.

Chen Weidong swiped his fingers across the screen of his phone and found that basic communication functions, calling, texting, camera, radio, and media player were all included, and some apps were missing.

"Lao He, good job, can this mobile phone access the Internet now?"

Chen Weidong was very satisfied with this prototype, and felt that it had surpassed Apple's first mobile phone in the future, and he clicked on the center of the screen with his thumb, the only application software, the browser.

"Mr. Chen, it can be, but we haven't gotten the network access permit yet...."
