1991 Starting from the core

About September, we will set up a research and development center in Russia, and I may have to go there.

The two of them walked slowly along the lakeside, and their hands relaxed.

Ye Rudai hummed: Do you have to go there?

It's not necessary. Senior Brother Wang Rui will go there first to explore the way. If it doesn't work, I will go there.

You know, the mathematics there is pretty good. If you want to go high in the computer field in the future, mathematical ability is the ceiling. And Brother Xi is right about one thing, breakthroughs in the field of computer science, especially the implementation of complex algorithms , it really wasn’t built up by manpower. It was finally realized by top mathematicians who have been capturing the inspiration for many years.”

Well... Mr. Xi is currently studying neural networks. It is said that once the computing power can keep up in the future, neural networks will realize true artificial intelligence?

Haha, get rid of the real words. Su Yuanshan bent down and picked up two foxtail grass from the roadside, and handed one to Ye Rudai.

The two of them wrapped the foxtail grass around their fingertips at the same time and started playing with it.

However, neural networks can indeed achieve deep learning and be close to human thinking and judgment methods. And that day will not be too late... you and I should be able to see it. Su Yuanshan said with a smile.

Ye Rudai said with leisurely fascination: I really don't know what the future will be like. Will it be like in science fiction novels, where aerial vehicles and interstellar immigration will be realized...

Haha, that's early! However, I do think that a small mobile phone can become the main terminal in the future. Su Yuanshan took out the vivo mobile phone and handed it to Ye Rudai: For example, if you look at the current mobile phone, what will happen in the future? , the screen will get bigger and bigger, and then all the buttons will disappear, and eventually one side will be all glass – and we can do everything by touching the glass.”

Ye Rudai was slightly surprised: What technology is used to achieve this?

Actually, it's a sensor-type LCD screen... Su Yuanshan thought for a while and said: IBM launched one this year. The Chinese name is hard to choose, but the English name is Simo Personal Communicator... It just cancels the buttons and uses a large area. The LCD screen uses touch technology to eliminate physical buttons.”

Ye Rudai praised: It's so advanced, it really deserves to be a blue giant.

Yeah...but our Yuanxin is not small, but we don't have this technology in China currently, and even the LCD panels displayed now are all imported. Su Yuanshan sighed: I just hope that the mobile phone will sell well, and then I can invest in one. LCD panel company.”

Speaking of the LCD panel, it was another bitter tear that could last for three days and three nights.

LCD panels emerged from the Lighthouse Country, and were then popularized by Ni Country people by selling humble gadgets like calculators. With the rise of pagers, mobile phones, and especially notebook computers, LCD panels have also begun to officially rise.

At this time, the Ni people had completed their rule.

For example, there are currently 18 LCD panel production lines in the world, 16 of which are in Japan. (Note: The real data is that by 1996, there were 25 LCD panel production lines in the world, 21 of which were in Japan)

In addition to building a large number of panel factories, Niguo has also completed a comprehensive industrial chain dominance - in the production chain, every component has at least one Niguo company!

This means that Niguo has achieved true self-sufficiency in LCD panels.

Well, that's really cool.

At this time, the mainland did not say anything...it had no such awareness at all. The west side was very strange - they lay down together and watched indifferently, not participating at all.

On the contrary, the island and Bangguo have begun researching TFT-LCD panel technology as early as five years ago.

Therefore, it was not until a few years later that Bangguo made a breakthrough and began to aggressively challenge Niguo's dominance through LCD monitors and LCD TVs.

At this time, Niguo chose to win over the island and transfer technology and patents to the island. Therefore, after entering the new century, the LCD panel market formed a situation where three heroes compete for hegemony.

In the following ten years, LCD screen companies in Ni Country, Bang Country, and the island respected themselves and arbitrarily eroded the domestic display market share, and imposed a strict LCD technology blockade on domestic companies. The domestic electronics industry could only Kneeling” to survive. This situation did not come to an end until the global financial crisis in 2008, which caused the world's LCD panel prices to collapse.

It was not until 2009 that BOE invested 20 billion and announced the establishment of an 8.5-generation LCD panel. This was like a thunderous announcement, announcing the end of the technology blockade by foreign manufacturers.

In less than 10 days, Sharp, Samsung, LG, Chimei, Quanta and other manufacturers on the island all announced that they would abandon the blockade strategy and build high-generation LCD panel production lines in the mainland.

——You see, it’s so frustrating and shameless.

…

Su Yuanshan retracted his thoughts and clenched his fist hard: No, even if the mobile phone doesn't make money, you still have to invest this money.

Ye Rudai didn't know what the technology and difficulties of the LCD panel were, but she only needed to know that since Su Yuanshan thought this was important, it must be important.

She pursed her lips and smiled: Well, I hope it sells well!

As she said that, she handed the phone to Su Yuanshan.

Here, here's it for you... Su Yuanshan put his hand into his trouser pocket and said with a smile: I originally wanted to play a trick of engraving words on the back cover of the mobile phone, but then I found that this trick is good for deceiving a little girl, but it is no longer fun to use it to deceive you. .”

Pfft... Ye Rudai laughed, and she shook her head helplessly: Your words make me feel as if I am very old.

No, you are special.

Time passed slowly under the scorching sun, and in late July, good news began to come from the Internet R\u0026D Center.

Zhang Xiaolong is worthy of being the father of Foxmail. Not long after he arrived in the SAR, he took over the email client team led by Ding Lei.

At first, when he went there, even with Su Yuanshan's order, he got Ding Lei's support. But I still encountered some unwelcome encounters - the people in the special zone were almost recruited by Ding Lei and Pony, from a dozen people at the beginning to about 300 people now, except for a few people , most of whom have never been to Yuanxin headquarters.

This has resulted in the Yuanxin headquarters being a mysterious and tall presence in the Internet R\u0026D center. It seems that the imperial power does not go to the countryside.

In the eyes of people in the SAR, Zhang Xiaolong used to be a peach picker.

But Zhang Xiaolong doesn't care.

Those who engage in technology rely solely on their strength. He has academic qualifications, skills, support from the headquarters, and recognition from the person in charge... but if he can't deal with a bunch of unconvinced subordinates, then all his skills will be in vain.

It took less than a week for Zhang Xiaolong to quickly grasp the situation, and it took less than two months for the new email client to be completed.

At the same time, EM also completed the final test.

One EM, one Email.

Known as the Double Sword, it simultaneously landed on the Internet on July 28th.
