Early mobile phones were not called mobile phones yet, but were more often called "mobile phones." Their weight was close to that of a brick, and their shape was also close to that of a brick. They all had a large antenna, and the antenna even had to be removed when making a call.

elongated.

With the development of technology, mobile phones have become smaller and more exquisite, and some are almost as big as car keys. At the same time, the antennas have become shorter and shorter, and have even become built-in. After that, mobile phones have become "mobile phones".

Then, with another leap forward in technology, the compact button-function machines turned into today’s smart phones, which are said to be smarter, but their size seems to be... getting bigger again.

Is this a disguised form of "Ye Qing Hui"?

The current satellite phone seems to be the same way. Whether it is a push-button satellite phone or a smartphone-style satellite phone, it all comes with a big wire. At most, the antenna needs to be folded or removed when needed.

Install it again.

And the weight is easily over half a kilogram.

The price is also outrageous. With that big antenna, a configuration worth a few hundred yuan will cost several thousand dollars, and the smartphone version will cost more than 10,000 yuan.

Using it is like going back to the 2G era. You can only make calls and send and receive text messages, and the number of words is also limited.

Of course, the main reason is that ordinary people cannot use satellite phones, and their main use is in the wild where there are no infrastructure facilities.

Ordinary mobile phones must use the signal network of ground base stations to realize functions such as voice, text messages and data transmission, and this is also the reason for the creation of satellite phones.

Because the satellite network is not affected by earthquakes, wind disasters, and floods, it directly gets rid of the ground base stations. Once a disaster occurs and the ground mobile phone network is paralyzed or there are no base stations nearby, it will be the turn of satellite phones to show their talents.

Therefore, the price of satellite phone is more expensive than that of ordinary mobile phone, and the tariff is also more expensive than that of ordinary mobile phone.

People often say that the current mobile phone signal coverage rate has reached 99%. In fact, it means that it can cover 99% of the population, not the area.

In fact, ordinary mobile phone signals only cover less than 40% of the land area of ​​​​Fanxing, and the coverage rate abroad is even less, even 99% of the population is not covered, because people simply do not waste money to build in places with few people.

Base station, give up directly.

No matter whether at home or abroad, there are no mobile phone signals in deserts, deep mountains, and oceans. Because there are no base stations in these places, communication can only rely on satellites in orbit.

If you install a large pot antenna on your car or boat and ensure sufficient energy supply, you can also perform functions similar to home networks, such as Internet calls, videos, and games.

But if it is just an individual, a single-person portable device can only make calls and send text messages like a satellite phone. At most, it can only play stand-alone games, and they must be saved in advance.

For most people, satellite phones are useless, but for a small number of people, buying a satellite phone is a necessity.

And this "small number of people" is for billions of people around the world, so it is still a huge market.

Of course, it will also become a necessity for him.

Because as his cooperation with the Technology Alliance becomes more and more in-depth, he will also go to some sites in the future, and some of the cooperations are very confidential and the places he goes to are also very remote.

There must be no problem at the base, and all communications are guaranteed, but when it comes to the field test site in the wild, there is nothing.

In fact, it was okay for him not to go, but he was still alive, young, and even had an inhuman body, so in his heart he was still looking forward to diving into the nooks and crannies of the world.

Just like a person with a hammer, everyone looks like a nail.

He has such a strong physique. Although he doesn't want to be a superhero, he will no longer be a peaceful little otaku.

However, he has also seen a lot of news about people lost in the wild. Even experts who have been doing detection outside all year round cannot guarantee 100% safety. He must be fully prepared.

Although he is very strong, he is not Monkey King and cannot travel thousands of miles in one go.

If you cannot escape from danger in a short time, it is more appropriate to call for support.

In the past, he would definitely have brought a commonly used mobile phone and a brick-like satellite mobile phone. Now that he has the ability, he will get a fully functional mobile phone.

It not only facilitates oneself, but also facilitates others. In the end, technology benefits mankind.

Ordinary people will definitely not be able to use satellite communications under normal circumstances, but with this function, it can definitely save lives at critical moments!

This is called being prepared.

Especially now that there are more and more extreme weather conditions, it is not certain when a large-scale network will be paralyzed.

For example, the previous heavy rainstorm in Yuzhou required special drones to fly over to provide communication services. Moreover, because the distance was long and a lot of time and fuel were consumed on the road, they could only provide local communication for a short period of time before flying away again.

And now several countries are vying to launch communication satellites, and even set up satellite links, but they are basically losing money in the early stage. Only when more people actually use them, can the corresponding industries develop healthily and vigorously.

Li Weilai is using practical actions to encourage those projects.

Coupled with the emergence of metallic hydrogen, practical technology must occupy a place in the future aerospace industry, and it is only preliminary contact now.

"...That's it."

"Although I made a rendering, it is just a technical demonstration, and the specific products still need to be determined through cooperation between various departments."

At this point, he has finished talking about the basic hardware configuration of the "Future 2" mobile phone. The software has basically not changed. Making the icons more rounded and better fitting the corners of the mobile phone screen is not within the scope of practical technology considerations.

Moreover, they have already improved greatly in terms of hardware, so they have to leave something for their friends to upgrade.

Of course, starting next year, mobile phones from friendly manufacturers will use practical technology, especially intelligent fusion processor technology.

But when the Future 2 mobile phones are released, they will definitely be thinking about graphene battery technology.

In other words, the whole world has to worry about it.

The people in the conference room didn't say anything after listening to Li Weiwei's words, and they were all reminiscing about the information just now.

“Has the problem of large-scale mass production of graphene really been solved?”

After a long time, Li Wei asked Li Future.

This son gave him more and more surprises or shocks.

Fortunately, the other party has always been his filial son and has no thoughts of "killing his father".

"Yes," Li Future nodded and said, "The problems of large-scale mass production of graphene and metallic hydrogen have been solved. From now on, these two materials will be the two pillars of the development of practical science and technology."

"Metal hydrogen is highly confidential, so it's not easy to say, but graphene is no problem. Because of the time issue, only the battery and heat dissipation module of the Future 2 mobile phone are made of graphene. When the Future 3 mobile phone is released the year after tomorrow, I plan to use graphene.

Chips, graphene displays, graphene batteries, graphene lenses, composite graphene shells, etc.”

"Good guy, this is a big job for you every year!"

Li Wei looked at his son in shock.

"No," Li Weiwei shook his head and showed two fingers with a smile: "There will be two big jobs next year."

"How to say?"

Hearing Li Wei ask this, others also raised their ears and looked at Li Weiwei eagerly.

So Li Future clicked on another rendering of the device.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this thing.

"Good guy, is this the legendary top couple?"
Chapter completed!
