Chapter 1022 Improved terminal, wireless networking!
Back in the office in the dungeon, Sumo quickly thought of the theme for the New Year event.
The Chinese way of "removing the old and welcoming the new" is not very appropriate in the wasteland.
First, it is so luxurious to throw away old things. Many people bring worn-out sneakers from the earth, and they are reluctant to throw them away and need to maintain them every day.
The second is that the current life of the residents of the territory is not rich, and being able to add some new items on top of it is the beautiful vision that everyone hopes for.
Therefore, it is the best choice to organize an event that everyone can participate in and provide some practical rewards.
But you haven’t decided on the specific activity plan yet.
At this moment, footsteps and the guards' inquiries and conversations suddenly came from outside the office.
Knocking on the door, it turned out to be Ai Jianfeng, whom he had not officially met for a long time.
Since the start of the territory's major infrastructure construction, there have been an explosion of scientific research projects there, and more than 99% of the machinery manufacturing is supervised by Ai Jianfeng, a mechanical master.
Including the industrial mother bed that was later upgraded, it also became his main research object.
Last time I heard Lu Kuan say that Ai Jianfeng had dismantled all the rest of the mother bed except for the core part, and suddenly realized several previously blocked research directions.
When we saw him again, Ai Jianfeng was holding a twenty-inch suitcase. It was obvious that his recent research had made a breakthrough.
“Lord, using the decomposition and recycling device you gave us, we finally gathered enough materials to make an adventurer terminal and built the first mass-produced version of the terminal!”
Placing the box on the solid wood desk in front of Sumo, Ai Jianfeng excitedly opened the buckle of the box and spread it out.
Lying wrapped inside, it turned out to be an object very similar to the terminal in Somo's hand.
It’s just that compared to the thick and big brother-like thing, this terminal is obviously lighter and thinner.
By analogy, it is about the same size as an air conditioner remote control.
“Is this the finished product?”
Sumo tried to pick up the terminal and weighed it.
Sure enough, not only was the size reduced a lot, but the weight was only less than one-fifth of its original size.
If you remove the outer layer of annular steel and plastic rings to protect the inner display screen, this thing may only weigh as much as an Apple PM model, about half a kilogram.
"Isn't it amazing? During the process of manufacturing preparations, I have tried to enter the bottom layer of that big thing more than once, but I have been blocked by strange circuit designs. Just when the materials were gathered, I thought Guess what happened when no one could change the bottom layer?"
"I promise, the person who made this thing is definitely a genius, and a genius among geniuses! Sorry, this thing shocked me! There are simply too many. Although we always say that the ultimate goal of machinery is to be highly integrated so that even a fool can use it, it is still incredible to actually happen in front of me."
Ai Jianfeng They looked as excited as those "newbies" who have just joined the ranks of researchers.
Not only was it ungraceful, it was even louder.
“We can arbitrarily change its internal parts requirements and function corresponding generation. For example, if we just want to make a terminal that can display text, we only need to set it up on the bottom layer, and we can get it in a fool-proof manner. A terminal with corresponding functions, and the materials will be about 80% simpler than the complete one.
This is not the most abnormal thing, we can also enhance certain functions of the terminal. Damn, I really can’t imagine this thing. It can also be "overclocked". For example, in this device, the antenna inside it can still maintain a transmission and reception range of twenty kilometers with very little delay despite the interference of fog."
"By the way. We can also customize functions. Damn it, I simply don’t know how powerful this thing is!”
Looking at this master who is almost at the pinnacle of the mechanical field, he actually Such a gaffe.
Sumo tried to understand the core points of Ai Jianfeng's words.
According to what he means, the functions in the terminal are not mixed on a circuit board, but are assembled in an assembly mode similar to a computer host.
Consider each function as a different component, and the manufacturer can decide whether to add the component at will.
For example, if you only need a computer that can be used for office work, you can simply install a low-end processor with a core display, connect it to a small-capacity mechanical hard drive, and pair it with a monitor to meet your needs.
If you want to play large-scale games, then you need a high-end processor with sufficient materials, independent graphics card, and solid-state drive.
However, it is such a simple truth that when it comes to integrated automation, the difficulty suddenly increases hundreds of times.
If you want to build such a complex logic program into a production machine, I am afraid that only modular devices with explosive technological content can do it.
“So, after removing some core functions and retaining the basic functions, we are already in production?”
“You guessed it.”
Ai Jian Feng sighed slightly and showed an expression of 'you still understand me'.
Sure enough, it is still too difficult for geniuses to hide something.
An adventurer's device with customizable functions has indeed not made him as excited as he is now.
Mass production, capable of large-scale mass production while retaining basic functions.
This is a leap forward!
“I have always felt that many functions in the adventurer terminal are outrageous, such as the function similar to the storage space, which is simply unreasonable. If we regard this function as standard for every device, The amount of materials required is unimaginable, and it would take us several years to put together just those weird elements.”
"But on the contrary, if all these weird and powerful functions are abandoned, we can even be self-sufficient in other materials except Au to create a terminal!"
Au is the symbol of the gold element , as a material with high stability, high electrical conductivity and good thermal conductivity, its application in high-precision equipment is no longer a new thing.
As if he was afraid that Sumo would think that this device had castrated most of its functions, Ai Jianfeng opened the terminal after finishing speaking and began to operate and explain at the same time.
“First of all, I retained the most important monitoring function in the adventurer device. The built-in module can record the wearer’s body information feedback in real time, such as heart rate, calorie consumption, daily walking distance, sleep quality, and hydration. Intake analysis, sugar intake analysis, stress index and other diversified information will be combined to give an improvement suggestion."
"Secondly, Su Wei squeezed the computing power of his spare time. Developed and designed three small programs with different uses:
1. Work (task), the terminal regularly brushes the information in the server and feeds it back in the interface. The wearer can click on the relevant information to read and then confirm the access remotely. There is no need to queue up at the work headquarters, and real-time records and uploads can be uploaded. own progress.
2. Wallet, as inflation causes prices to rise, it has become more and more troublesome to use physical currency. Coordinating everyone's currency into the terminal can not only save a batch of materials for manufacturing devices, but also Can facilitate later management.
3. Instant messaging, internal self-guided communication software, the wearer can enter the corresponding group for text chat, and the administrator can publish announcements in it. In the future, when the server is upgraded, it can also derive voice. Video and other diversified needs. "
"Finally, we retained the most important map collection function in the terminal. The wearer can connect an external terrain scanning machine to the free interface of the terminal. As long as we use the scanner in an unfamiliar area, we can easily obtain three-dimensional map information, which can then be fed back to other terminals to form a matching map. ”
Harm.
Isn’t this just a large smartwatch?
The functions Ai Jianfeng is introducing now are basically standard features of smart watches.
Except for the map mapping function which looks a bit high-end, the others are not unusual.
However, Ai Jianfeng seemed to notice some doubts in Su Mo. He changed the subject and immediately revealed the real power of the terminal.
"What I just introduced is only the functions that the wearer can currently use. I know these are not very interesting. But what I am going to say next is where he is truly powerful."
"You can completely understand that each terminal is a miniature signal transceiver device, which can build a wireless network that belongs only to us."
"According to the existing design, the terminal signal can be overclocked to a maximum of 2 Ten kilometers, perfect mutual transmission can be achieved within a range of five kilometers. That is, if there are twenty terminals driving forward in a row, the data on the first terminal can be transmitted remotely and wirelessly to the twentieth terminal, and the distance is 100 kilometers. The delay will not exceed 5 seconds. "Even if it is designed according to the maximum distance, that is, only five terminals are built per 100 kilometers, the delay can still be maintained within thirty seconds!"
It's a bit like mesh wireless networking between routers.
If the data of A wants to be transmitted to D, it can be easily achieved by passing through the intermediate B and C.
"Let me go, is this gadget so powerful?"
Sumo stared wide-eyed, not expecting that the thing he asked for would appear in front of him so easily.
To use the real world, the signal must be received from the user's body back to the virtual realm service unit in the territory.
Building a signal transmission network is almost impossible in a wasteland with frequent natural disasters.
Holy shit.
Thinking about it this way, the improved version of the Adventurer Terminal is simply too powerful.
Although the delay is now terrifyingly high, basically it can only transmit some text information.
But this thing can evolve at all? Can it be upgraded?
Aiming at the desired direction, use survival points specifically to survive a few times. Are you still worried that the signal range cannot be spread out?
What's more, it is not impossible to simply use the adventurer terminal as a network transceiver device.
At that time, you only need to install one every five kilometers in the territory, and full network coverage will be achieved without any effort.
Not only do you no longer have to pay the expensive game territory chat channel usage fees every month.
It can be more convenient
No, wait.
“You developed this thing, isn’t it because there is no game panel and you can’t see their chat?”
"Uh hahahaha."
Ai Jianfeng laughed twice, showing an awkward but polite laugh.
Damn it.
Without the game panel, not only can’t you experience the powerful route bonus, but you can’t even enter the fun chat channel.
Every day I hear the gangsters in the lab discussing gossip on the world chat, secretly exchanging interesting things on the territory chat panel.
Ai Jianfeng was not worried that this group of people would secretly complain about him.
After all, compared to Lu Kuan's bad temper, he can be considered extremely kind.
But the key was that he couldn't see the messages complaining about Lu Kuan, which made him scratch his head and get anxious.
“Ahem...it’s like this. If we want to recruit more Blue Star Aboriginal people in the future, it will definitely not work without opening up a channel to communicate with each other. This will make everyone in our territory There is a serious disconnect in this gathering place.
Now, we have this brand-new terminal, which can fully allow everyone in the territory to participate in communication! It can even develop market-like functions to remotely realize the earth. A friendly transaction between humans and Blue Star humans.”
"That makes sense. How many units can we produce with our current inventory?"
Su Mo nodded slightly, very sure of what Ai Jianfeng said.
Indeed, there are currently very few Blue Star Aboriginal people in the territory, so there is no problem if they don’t communicate frequently.
But what if there are more people in the future?
Once the number of indigenous people reaches a qualitative change level, it will be difficult to open up communication channels between the two sides.
"Three hundred units!"
I didn't expect to convince the lord so easily.
Ai Jianfeng happily reported a specific figure: "The materials used to produce this kind of castration terminal are not rare. They are nothing more than polycarbonate, aluminum alloy, and the decomposition machine for the LCD screen. In addition to Au , our precious metal reserves can already meet the production needs of nearly 20,000 units."
"Okay, I will find a way to find some gold for you as soon as possible."
Do it. Sumo looked at him with an expression of 'understanding' and said.
The application range of gold is too wide, and the ways to obtain it are very rare. It is really a troublesome thing.
As a higher-order element consisting of 79 protons.
If you have a high-energy particle accelerator, you might be able to try to bombard higher-order elements with particles at nearly the speed of light.
For example, if you bombard element No. 83 bismuth, blasting away 4 protons from the nucleus, leaving only 79 protons, you can artificially create an element like gold.
Or just start with element 80, mercury. As long as you can make it lose a proton, you can get a lot of gold immediately.
It is even possible to use addition. Bombarding platinum with neutrons and adding one neutron can also produce it.
However, the reason why this method is not used is simple.
The technology of artificial gold is not unbreakable, but its cost cannot be compressed.
Even if it is stronger than the Foundation, according to what Sean said before.
Even at the foundation's headquarters, gold is a solid currency that can be exchanged for any valuable items.
After thinking about it, the only place around that could be explored was Qinggang City.
"I really hope those gopher guys can fight tomorrow."
Sending Ai Jianfeng off, looking at the terminal prototype left on the table, Su Mo gave a heartfelt wish.
Now that he was so broke, he didn't even have the urge to open the system and scan the specific information on the terminal in his hand.
What if?
What if an option pops up which is extremely tempting, but is now impossible to upgrade.
That was so uncomfortable.
Having experienced this feeling many times, Sumo shook his head and began to edit the plan for the New Year activities.
Just in time, with the addition of these three hundred adventurer terminals, the prizes seem to be more attractive.
No.
It's simply too tacky to call it an Adventurer Terminal. The status of this thing will only rise in the future.
The name must be changed as soon as possible!
He picked up a pen and wrote down several names on the paper. Sumo was not satisfied and simply slapped his head:
"I might as well let them crowdfund the names. Why should I think about it so much?" "
"Yes, this is a qualified lord, how democratic!"
