"Xiaolan, look here! Hi ——! Can you see me? ”

"Garden ......"

"Wow! It really can, alas! It's amazing! ”

In the woodland shooting range, Suzuki Sonoko is like a child who has just received a new toy, pulling Mao Lilan, who is only a few steps away from her, and constantly trying new postures for various video calls, and having fun.

Although Mao Lilan looked a little helpless, it could be seen from the exclamation that flashed in her eyes from time to time that Dr. Agasa's newly invented 'Erquan Smartphone' was really incredible.

Instant video calls are too advanced for people who are still stuck in using text messages to communicate with each other in this era, and even personal laptops, which are just beginning to emerge, cannot do this.

How exactly did Dr. Asasa do it?

"It's not really that difficult for the Ph.D.." Facing the inquiring eyes of several people, Mu Yuan explained calmly, "Have you forgotten, the surveillance cameras in the temple have already begun to use wireless data transmission. ”

"That's ...... so"

Mao Lilan and the others, who were holding a 'Erquan Zero' in their hands, nodded suddenly, and then concentrated on studying their new mobile phones.

For non-experts such as Moriran, knowing that Dr. Asasa is capable enough to do so, is enough to satisfy their curiosity.

But for Mr. Steve, who was standing on the sidelines, constantly peeking around on his tiptoes, but was too embarrassed to ask...... It's a bit torturous.

Mu Yuan turned his head and looked at Mr. Steve, who had been scratching his ears and cheeks since the first video call between Maoliran and Suzuki Sonoko, and smiled slightly.

"Mr. Steve would like to see Dr. Asasa's new invention too?"

"But, is that okay?"

Steve swallowed his saliva, looked at the Erquan Zero handed by Mu Yuan, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand, but he couldn't catch it for a long time because his arm was too shaky.

In the end, it was Mu Yuan who took the initiative to take a step forward and pressed the phone firmly in the palm of the other party's palm.

"Mr. Steve, although there are many such testing machines, you should understand its value, right?"

Mu Yuan looked at Steve, who was so excited that his upper and lower arms were a little out of balance, and reminded him softly.

Steve suddenly shrunk, held his breath, and then held his right hand with his left hand, until he was sure that he had tightly grasped the metal block in his hand, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Whew—that's a ...... It's ugly. ”

Holding the Erquan Zero developed by Dr. Asasa, Steve, who is only 41 years old, makes a disgusted expression like a subway grandfather looking at his phone.

'Ugly' is his first evaluation of Erquan Zero.

"Hey! Uncle, do you understand? Is this still ugly? ”

Sonoko Suzuki, who has become a loyal fan of Niquan Zero, was the first to jump out and object.

Steve was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I mean ......"

Steve, who had only learned some loose Japanese from Zen Master Yumoto in the United States, didn't know how to express his thoughts for a while, so he could only stand there with an apologetic face and be anxious.

Fortunately, Mu Yuan relieved him in time.

"Mr. Steve doesn't just refer to the appearance of the Second Spring Zero." Mu Yuan explained, "What he means is that the Erquan Zero, which has such functions, can have a better design. ”

"Better design?" Sonoko Suzuki blinked and frowned at the machine in her hand.

The boxy metal shell is a bit awkward, the back cover full of small screws is full of rough mechanical design style, and the lens that stands out a lot to ensure the quality of the camera is full of epoch-making sense of technology.

What are the drawbacks?

In the eyes of fans, there is a miracle in the eyes of fans, and the garden, which has been impressed by the function of Erquan Zero, which allows him to see Xiaolan's training and heroic posture all the time, can only see the advantages no matter how you look at it.

"Hmph, an uncle who makes cartoons, what kind of design can he know? That's the best phone! ”

“……”

Steve smiled wryly, and suddenly gave up on explaining to the garden, and then turned his attention back to the function of the Second Spring Zero.

But because he was holding Mu Yuan's mobile phone, and after opening the address book, he only knew the name Suzuki Sonoko, so in the end, he could only make a video call to the garden.

"Humph!" Sonoko Suzuki raised the corners of her eyebrows, pressed the agree button and quickly grimaced, and hung up the phone at the same time.

"This ...... It's amazing. Unexpectedly, Steve didn't care about Suzuki Sonoko's childish behavior at all, and just looked at the 'ugly' square in his hand with admiration.

Suddenly, Steve's eyes seemed to light up with a scorching flame.

He reluctantly raised his head, "Mu Yuan presided, this function ...... Isn't that true? ”

Mu Yuan glanced down and nodded, "Multi-person video call?" Of course, just click on the plus sign in the top right corner to add it. ”

"Top right...... Add to!? Steve's eyes widened again, "Oh my God, this design language was created to touch the screen...... That Dr. Asa is such an amazing genius! ”

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway.

Just a small addition allowed Steve to see a design gap that would take countless iterations to cross.

In normal times, he would have found a way to meet Dr. Asa and sit down with him for a good conversation, but now, Steve's attention did not linger too long on this little design language that had crossed the era, and immediately added all the names of the people he had just heard to the menu of multi-person video calls.

Buzz——!

Soon, the rest of the people in the woodland received a video call request from Mu Yuan's mobile phone.

"Multiplayer video calling, what is it?" Chianti, who was busy taking pictures of the little squirrel and hadn't had time to experience other functions, muttered a sentence and clicked to agree.

The rest of the people didn't think much about it and made the same choice.

Immediately, video frames separated from each other appeared on everyone's mobile phones.

"Huh? It's a pretty interesting feature. Chianti blinked, pointing her phone at the little squirrel on Cohen's shoulder.

The cute appearance of the little squirrel holding peanuts and bulging cheeks immediately appeared in the video frame.

Mao Lilan and the others immediately smiled and wanted to say hello to the little squirrel, but before a few people could speak, a scream came out of Mu Yuan's video frame.

】

"Oh my God...... Oh, my God!

！ ”

Steve clutched Erquan Zero tightly in both hands, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

"Mr. Steve, are you alright......" Maolilan suddenly cast a concerned look.

The rest of the people also frowned and looked over.

Needless to say, I understood the meaning on their faces, obviously thinking that the startled middle-aged uncle in front of him might have something abnormal in his brain.

"Mu, Mu Yuan presided!"

However, Steve didn't care about everyone's eyes, and instead stared at Mu Yuan, and said in a trembling voice:

"This, this is actually ...... Is it really a mobile phone!? ”

"Cut ......" Before Mu Yuan could speak, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Uncle, we've been demonstrating for a long time, do you just see that this is a mobile phone now?" ”

Staring at Steve, who was full of shock, Suzuki Sonoko was really a little suspicious at this time, was the casually dressed billionaire in front of him really the most profitable person in the world in Mu Yuan's mouth?

Maybe it's a little too unseen in the world, right?

It's just a phone with unique features, where is it worth all the fuss......

"Nope! You don't understand! Steve shook his head, hesitated, and said directly in English, "At first, I thought that this machine was just a point-to-point data communication device similar to a walkie-talkie, and wireless data transmission technology with similar bandwidth, although it is also very advanced, but I know that many laboratories have developed similar technology, but ...... It's a real phone! ”

"Real cell phones? Uncle, what the hell are you talking about? "Sonoko Suzuki didn't speak English well, and she only understood the last sentence for a long time.

Steve thought that the eldest lady of the Suzuki family was asking further, and immediately explained: "The transmission bandwidth of audio data is only about 60 to 80kbps, but the transmission bandwidth of video data is at least 300kbps, which is far beyond the 150kbps bandwidth limit of the 2G network!" ”

"What...... What limit? Sonoko Suzuki blinked in confusion.

Steve was stunned, and seemed to finally understand that the eldest lady in front of him was not very good at English, but he didn't care to explain it again, and hurriedly looked at Mu Yuan on the side, and anxiously asked:

"Mu Yuan hosted, point-to-point wireless data transmission cannot support so many mobile devices at the same time, Dr. Asa used, should it be ......?"

"Yes." Under Steve's expectant bated gaze, Mu Yuan nodded calmly, "What Erquan Temple is currently using is the new generation of wireless cellular network data transmission technology developed by Dr. Asasa. ”

"Band, bandwidth, what is the bandwidth limit of this technology!?" Steve couldn't wait to grab Mu Yuan's robe.

Mu Yuan dodged without hesitation, thought for a while, and said, "It's probably only about 100mbps." ”

"Only!?"

Steve yelled, his eyes red, as if he was about to stare out, but for some reason, he looked at the sky a little blankly, and muttered in a low voice:

"The most advanced digital subscriber limited network only has a data transfer speed of about 10Mbps, and the cellular network here is ...... 100mbps？ ”

Steve's tone was full of disbelief, but he had no doubt about the data that Mu Yuan said.

Because, the quality of the video call just now is really too high!

That's by no means what is currently popular for video data transmission in 480p, 720p resolution, this clarity...... Even the most advanced wired networks today are hard to deliver!

"Ha, hahaha......" Suddenly, Steve, whose hair was just a little thinning, smiled, "Can cellular networks develop to such an extent?" ”

The slightly mocking tone seems to be full of a self-righteous pioneer who almost gets lost in it after seeing the real torrent of the times.

But Steve is Steve after all, the 'Joe Gang Leader' who never forgets his original intention, is always hungry for knowledge, and is humble and foolish.

"Mu Yuanjun!" Qiao Gang Leader, who was in the prime of life, quickly calmed down and said seriously, "Let's cooperate!" As long as I had a personal computer connected to Dr. Asa's cellular network, my personal digital hub concept would be complete! When the time comes...... We will change the world completely!

！ ”

"......" Mu Yuan blinked and said slowly, "Mr. Steve, you plan to use Dr. Asasa's network technology to refine your concept of designing your personal computer as a private digital hub, right?" ”

"That's right!" Gang Leader Qiao was afraid that Mu Yuan would not fully understand, and explained in detail, "At that time, the personal computer will no longer be a marginal side product, but will become an integrated digital device, including music players, video recorders, and cameras...... It can even manage users' personal music, pictures, videos, and messages, which exist in every aspect of everyone's life, allowing people to live a new digital lifestyle! ”

"......" Mu Yuan was silent for a moment, then thought for a moment, "What you said, is it like this?" ”

Mu Yuan took the Erquan Zero in Qiao's hand and began to demonstrate the rest of the functions except for video calls one by one.

Gang Leader Qiao's eyes, which had already returned to their normal size, widened again.

"This, this is a web browser!?"

"This, this is the music playing!?"

"This, this is a video player!?"

"This, this is ...... Oh, my God! Can you still uninstall it? These are the apps!? ”

"This, this, this fucking computer!

！ ”

Looking at the Qiao gang leader who couldn't help but burst into foul language, Mu Yuan slowly took the mobile phone back into the robe, and said softly under the reluctant gaze of the other party:

"No, it's a smartphone."

"......" Qiao Bang opened his mouth and smiled helplessly.

Mu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Mr. Steve doesn't seem to have anything to help me?" ”

"I ......," Qiao said.

Mu Yuan continued, "It's okay, you have other things to do anyway, and the animation studio has just improved...... Garden, can you lend me the Suzuki Group's private jet and help me take Mr. Steve back, and I will pay for it. ”

"Wait, wait!" Seeing that Suzuki Sonoko was about to speak, the Qiao gang leader finally couldn't help but say, "I, I can help you!" I, I'm sure I can make Dr. Asasa's technology faster and better......"

"Mr. Steve, my time is also limited."

"Mu Yuanjun......" Qiao Gang Leader gritted his teeth, "That's right, Pingguo is in a lot of trouble over there, they are already in contact to invite me back, if you are willing to cooperate......"

"Mr. Steve, that computer company on the verge of bankruptcy, even if it has various channels in related industries, wants to obtain such technical ...... through cooperation"

Mu Yuan made a long note, looked at Gang Leader Qiao meaningfully, and did not finish his words.

Gang Leader Qiao smiled bitterly again, as a smart person, he quickly figured out all the causes and effects behind his invitation to this book, and then sighed and said:

"Forty-nine percent stake at most, that's the limit I can convince them."

"Huh...... Heard that Mr. Steve is planning to reconcile with Bill? ”

"......" Gang Leader Qiao shook his head in frustration, "Fifty-one, if you refuse, I can only let Pingguo go bankrupt." ”

"Fifty-one's shares, plus Bill's settlement."

“…… Deal. ”
