Chapter 186: Walking on both legs

The sad Joanna received an order from the unscrupulous boss, and she was still the boss who was not paid. After breakfast, she went out to run for a mission.

Su Jingzhen was very proud and caught another strong man, but he didn't run away and needed to become a strong man. This is how it is to be a physical entity at home. He is much busier than other industries, and there will be many specific things. It is as comfortable as doing finance, just sit in the office to analyze.

In a month, Su Jingzhen brought up a team of students from the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering as the main researchers, and hanged the research team under Yisou Company as a studio.

From circuit diagrams to appearance design diagrams, from Walkman, in order to design products as soon as possible, Su Jingzhen purchased a large number of Walkman and CD players, especially Sony's products, and Su Jingzhen basically won't let it go.

In 1994, Sony launched the first metal body cassette walkman, n1, vertical opening design, with an ultra-thin body and two sound effects.

In terms of function, the first time, the automatic search of 9 songs in front and rear, 25 times high-speed rewinding, and automatic front and back playback are all the most advanced configurations at present.

Su Jingzhen bought twenty units in one breath and dismantled them. The task of the research team was to dismantle them and to reversely survey and map the structure and circuit design inside.

It is definitely not possible to play such a high-end walkman from the beginning. Not only can the design team not imitate it, but there are no such technical conditions in the production side.

If the vertical opening design structure cannot be achieved, then do ordinary horizontal, front and back nine curves, and line control functions cannot be realized, so don't.

The final design of the product is thinner than Sony's own, because it abandons many unimplemented functions, but the basic functions are basically complete, and the appearance is even more rounded. On the premise of realizing the metal shell, the edges and corners are all rounded, making the machine feel better.

Su Jingzhen held a fully handmade cassette-type walkman in his hand, felt the three-centimeter-thick body, plugged in the most ordinary 35-plug headphones, pressed the ultra-short-range film button, and listened to the nn's singing to his ears, Su Jingzhen nodded slightly, and the basic functions were realized and he could be launched on the market.

"Hey, this is the inner liner design we have developed after referring to Sony and other Walkman. The pictures are all there, and the technology inside is also explained. You can apply for a patent. You must register it before the product is launched, so don't let others sue it." Victoria had a gloomy face and handed over a stack of information, explaining what this was.

There was no way. The only person Su Jingzhen knew in the Engineering Academy was Victoria, so he had to come to ask for help again. He thought he would be out of food and was about to go directly to the teacher if Victoria didn't help. But for some reason, although Victoria had a cold face, she did not refuse Su Jingzhen.

This time, she was busy bringing all the people in the Engineering Academy who could do this, recruited Su Jingzhen's research team, and helped him study the Walkman. Su Jingzhen asked her what was wrong, but Victoria looked at him and told the reason.

Well, it involves privacy. Su Jingzhen vowed not to tell others about this, so even if he knew the answer, he would hide it in his heart, but he knew why Victoria always had a sinister face when she looked at him.

"This has to be left to Joanna. How has the other team studied the CD player? My requirement is like this Walkman, with a full aluminum body, thin, and other complex functions. Don't rush to study them. Let me get all the basics out first, so I can hand them over to the factory for production." Su Jingzhen looked at Victoria with a cunning face, took the information and turned it over to the design of another product.

"That's not difficult, and you also recommended some colleagues to us. Both sides exchanged different design ideas every day. Now several of them have been designed and are waiting for you to confirm which one to make first." Victoria said expressionlessly, and brought Su Jingzhen to the next workplace, which is where the design team works.

"Fortunately, I received help from the school. Otherwise, if I rented an office outside, I wouldn't know how to pick you up and down between the college and the studio." Su Jingzhen walked into this workshop, which was divided into two parts. In front was a large workbench full of disassembled, and various messy tools. There were several desks inside, and several Dell's 486 computers were placed on it.

"Adams, come and tell him, I don't have time to pay attention to him." Victoria brought Su Jingzhen into the studio, waved to the desk, called a graduate student from the School of Engineering, and flicked himself.

Su Jingzhen looked at Victoria's distant figure helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"She has always been like this, otherwise, with her conditions, countless people would have chased her to the gate of the college." Adams was the specific person in charge of the design and had seen Su Jingzhen several times. Seeing Victoria flashing like this, he had to reluctantly explain.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. I heard that the products have been designed?" Su Jingzhen mainly came to see the design, so he went straight to the topic without talking nonsense.

"Come here, because of the help of your researchers, the research work has been going smoothly. Every time the circuit diagram is changed, the data results can be tested immediately. This is really helpful, so the products designed now can be directly on the production line and there is no need to change anything." Yuan Guanghua also found a group of people in China to study, so Su Jingzhen decided to connect directly to the Internet, and the two sides regularly exchanged each other's research data to have a big collision of thinking. At present, it seems that the effect is OK.

"We have manually polished these shells, but at the factory, the production line has been debugged and can be produced directly according to this shape. However, the aluminum material is not cheap now. I think the all-aluminum body will weaken the cost-effectiveness of this machine." Adams pointed to a square shell and said to Su Jingzhen on the side of the workbench.

Su Jingzhen looked at the five different aluminum alloy shells in front of him, and they were basically the same in size, about seven or eight centimeters tall, and the panel design was very simple, and it could even be said to be simple.

"The bare metal is here. This set of circuit boards can be installed in these five different shells. As long as different functional modules are installed on the circuit board, different functions can be realized and products of different grades can be formed. Moreover, we have referenced many Japanese-made optical disc machines and thought about their design ideas. So to a certain extent, they can integrate their design advantages on optical disc machines, so we still have certain advantages in error correction and miniaturization." Adams said while starting to install the bare metal into the aluminum alloy shell.

"Where is the cost? Has the factory calculated the specific cost?" Su Jingzhen was most concerned about the cost issue.

"If I make it by hand, the cost is about 200 yuan. If I purchase chips in large quantities, the cost can be controlled within 200 yuan. The specific amount depends on the factory's control." Due to daily research, Adams has long been quite familiar with this machine and it will be installed in a short while.

"This is a remote control, and it is also hand-made. It can be used barely, but I have sent the specific circuit diagram to the factory. The actual product should be much smaller than this." Adams took out a plastic remote control with a slap from the workbench and shrugged embarrassedly when he handed it to Su Jingzhen.

Su Jingzhen looked at the size of a Saturn machine. When he looked at the remote control with a palm-wide slap in his hand, he didn't know what to say. This style is also quite intoxicating.

"In fact, this one can build smaller ones. As long as you choose some high-end capacitors, you can reduce the height. Moreover, many of the chips here were found in school. Now after upgrading, there are smaller ones, but it costs money to buy them. You know Victoria's, she doesn't allow us to spend money randomly, so"

Su Jingzhen also patted his forehead. Why did he tell her to save a little? As a result, he was so lucky.

"I'll go back and tell her, buy whatever chips you should buy, and try to miniaturize the machine. This is the general direction of future design, and you have to start thinking about the design of multi-disc machines." Su Jingzhen and Adams connected the line to the TV, and when they pressed the remote control, they started to operate. The drawer-style tray opened silently, and there was only a very slight noise between entering and exiting.

Adams continued to pull on the workbench and found a plastic-covered optical disc storage bag. He handed the disc to Su Jingzhen first, and said, "Look at this disc, the data has been ground to read. If it is a normal machine, it should be difficult to read the data inside."

Su Jingzhen nodded. He saw that the disc was indeed a little flowery, and it looked like it was played frequently.

Adams put the disc into the tray, and with his hand, the tray automatically entered, and

The disc is successfully read and playback begins, and the opening of the movie starts.

"Cough cough cough cough" Su Jingzhen couldn't help but choke. What is this?

"I heard that this mythological drama is quite popular with you. The people in China specially transported a set of them here for us to test the machine." Adams saw that Su Jingzhen seemed to be unable to hold it in, so he quickly began to explain.

Su Jingzhen listened to the familiar reverberation sound and watched the monkey burst out from the stone, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"This is Journey to the West, one of the four great classics in our country, an ancient mythology. Before I came to the United States, I could see this at home every summer vacation."

Author: I just realized now that the opening song of Journey to the West has no name? To be continued.
