After dealing with the aftermath of Monaco, Gu Ao continued to transport the garbage back without caring it back, anyway, this matter had nothing to do with him.

In early June, he returned to China with peace of mind for a while and took a look at the progress of the lithium cobalt oxide battery base and LCD panel base in the Tongxian Development Zone of Xiuzhou.

At the end of the month, I was invited as a special guest to attend the official completion ceremony of the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant in Yan County next door, and also cut the ribbon by myself.

At the ceremony, Gu Ao's seats were limited to some leaders of the Ministry of Energy. (There was no Ministry of Electricity in China between 1988 and 1993, and it was divided into the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Energy. Therefore, China also had a "Ministry of Energy" for a period of time. After 1994, it changed back to electricity, and the government and enterprises separated in 1997, and became the State-owned Power Company)

People from other places, such as the provincial power department, the cardinal and mayor of Xiuzhou City, are all ranked behind Gu Ao. Not to mention the ones in Yan County.

The ribbon was cut at the end of June, which was to present a gift to July 1st. However, in fact, the power generation will have to be debugged for a few months. It is expected that the high-tech development zone in Tong County will be officially supplied in early August.

This time point is almost consistent with Gu Ao's mass production and running-in cycle of lithium cobalt oxide batteries and LCD panels, so it did not delay Gu Ao at all.

...

Everything went smoothly. After finally sprinting in seclusion for a few months, Gu Ao finally saw the first batch of finished products from the production line in early August.

Because everything in Xiuzhou Development Zone started again and started with a blank piece of paper, there was no historical burden. As of 1990, there were only some technical R&D personnel who cooperated with Japan, and no factory management team.

Therefore, the talents who are now recruited like a variety of rivers have a lot of room for play. As long as you perform well in the short term, you can be promoted.

This gave everyone great motivation.

For example, the two technical men Gu Ao met in February, Wang Dong and Wang Fu.

Before the former went into operation, he was able to be a middle- and high-level manager in the Beijing Electronic Pipe Factory, and helped the factory overcome difficulties many times. He was trusted by the original factory manager, which shows that he had some skills and foundation. His success in his history shows that his execution ability is not bad.

The latter can be built by BYD in the SAR, which is not easy.

The two of them arrived at Gu Ao. After only half a year of hard work and overtime research, they had just emerged. They were promoted to the level of department director and were qualified to report their work to Gu Ao occasionally (Gu Ao is a joint venture, so the job titles are quite fashionable. At the same time, domestic companies are still calling section chiefs or something)

When showing Gu Ao the sample, Wang Dongman was honored: "Boss, this is the result of our latest self-reliance efforts in the past six months. The 13-inch 16-9 widescreen is converted to 28.8 by 16.2 cm.

At the beginning of the year, when Japan withdrew its follow-up experts, we only achieved 25.2 by 14.4. With a foundation, we can continue to improve without relying on Japan."

The screen itself is enough to satisfy Gu Ao. The size is very good, and no bad points are seen in visual inspection. The workmanship of the backlight tube is also very symmetrical, and the entire screen looks completely bright. (This is easy to do in later generations, but it was also difficult in 1991. At that time, the early LCD screens were prone to uneven brightness in the full screen, which was a problem with the diffusion plate and light guide plate materials)

Historically, IBM's first ThinkPad notebook launched in the second half of 1992 uses a 10.2-inch screen, but it is a 5-to-4 aspect ratio, which is 20 cm by 16 cm.

Gu Ao's hand is only 0.2 cm taller than IBM's, but the horizontal width is 8.8 cm, which is also the limit of the technology of the same period in this era.

After the WPS computers in the future have widescreens to use, the body structure design will be much more convenient and simple, and there is no need to do complicated operations of folding keyboards like IBM.

Gu Ao was more concerned about the yield rate: "If you forcefully push this size up, the yield rate should have dropped, right?"

Faced with this problem, Wang Dong was a little ashamed: "As you can see, it did decline, but we are confident that we can further debug the environment within a few months. At the beginning of the year, Japan handed over the latest 25.2 by 14.4 process to us when we were commissioned, the defect rate was 19%. Basically, one of the five pieces was made with the deterioration point and it was scrapped.

In the second quarter, we adjusted the parameters of dust-free fan and cleaning equipment, and optimized the purification operation process for workers to enter the workshop, so that workers could shaved their hair, beards, and were not allowed to wear cotton and knitted clothes to work, including the clothes inside. After all operations, the defect rate was suppressed to 14%.

However, when we just tested the self-reliance 28.8 by 16.2 at the end of June, the bad debt rate suddenly rose to 22%. However, in the past month, we have continued to optimize and require workers to operate more strictly, updating the paint on some equipment and workshop transportation floors, reducing the bad debt rate to 18%.

We believe that these are all problems in the process. As long as you have time to focus on production management and process flow optimization, you can overcome them - you can take this screen now and go to Wang'an and Tiankun for research and development and running-in testing. When Tiankun and Wang'an's new generation of complete machines are put into mass production, I promise to at least reduce the defect rate here to between 10% and 15%. If you lose a little for the time being, you can get the improvement of factory technology. I think this money is worth it."

Gu Ao thought about it and said without doubt: "I can accept it for the time being 15%, but as of next year, I will see the bad debt rate reaching less than 10% in January 1992. In that way, you can continue to work in this position of director, otherwise, I will be able to become mediocre and get rid of—

You have only been here for half a year and have been able to sit in this position. It is your hard work. But it comes at a price to get a fast rise. You have no capital and you must always prove yourself. When you do it, I will give all the high year-end bonuses to the entire process flow department, at least tens of thousands of yuan per person, let alone the core person in charge."

Wang Dong's teeth were a little trembling, but he also knew that people who were promoted quickly were not qualified to ask the boss to give you more patience, so he gritted his teeth: "Okay boss, if you can't do it, you will remove my position and cancel my year-end bonus."

Gu Ao didn't say anything more, even if he had made such an agreement.

...

After listening to the results report of the LCD base, it was Wang Fu, the battery factory's turn to report.

Compared with Wang Dong, who is in his 30s, Wang Fu, who is only 26 years old, is obviously too brief and is not qualified to report. However, the battery factory needs fewer factory quality management talents, mainly because the laboratory part is more difficult, so most of the other seniors are researchers or even scientists.

In the early 1990s, the majority of domestic researchers and scientists had poor eloquence, because the scientific research environment at that time did not require researchers to seek projects and funds themselves. If it was more than ten years later, then the scientific research masters had to brag and be very awesome to survive.

After being eliminated in the opposite direction, Wang Fu, who had a relatively westernized mind and was very eloquent in his eloquence, gained the fat of reporting.

"We have made adjustments to the latest lithium cobalt oxide crystallization process plan according to the needs of users. The optimal mass-produced material produced in the laboratory can achieve a charging and discharging life of 1,000 times, but the charging and discharging speed is too slow, taking more than ten hours, and the attenuation curve is relatively poor, and plug-in and unplugging and switching can easily cause life attenuation.

After the technical demonstration of Wang'an's company, we felt that it was necessary to ensure the charging speed and APS protection switching losses to a certain extent. After the final optimization, we can only sacrifice some charging and discharging times.

The latest solution now is that it can charge and release 600 times efficiently, and it can be fully charged in just eight hours. In addition, it supports APS power outage protection, that is, if the future laptop computer is originally working under the plug-in state, it can be instantly switched to the battery, which will not cause shutdown. At the same time, it will not charge the battery during normal operation, and will not damage the battery's charging and discharging life.

Such technology is also more suitable for Wang'an Company to develop the forced automatic storage of working documents when the power is suddenly cut off."

The charging and discharging life of lithium batteries is not calculated based on the number of times completely scrapped. For example, the so-called recharging of 1,000 times or 600 times does not mean that the power will be completely out of power after so many times. It is just that the power storage is reduced to less than 70% of the rated capacity", even if it is time to be scrapped. (Generally after it is reduced to 70%, and then the charging and discharging continues, the curve will become steeper and steeper. It may fall to 50% in dozens of times, and then fall to 20,30% faster, and finally no charge will be in at all)

A 600-time life span can be used for about two years if it is a computer that charges once a day at work. If it can be plugged in and does not count as floating charging, it will be longer.

Gu Ao thought about it and felt that Wang An’s needs were reasonable.

Many business elites are not as good as those of the 9-to-5 poor house workers. The more elite the people are, the busier they are. It would be nice to have seven or eight hours to go home every night and stay in the hotel. If it takes more than ten hours to fill it, it is really difficult to accept.

Then, make sure to be fully charged for eight hours, and then slowly study to improve battery life and storage capacity density.

At worst, Wang'an Company will be asked to come up with a marketing strategy in the future. For users who bought new laptops in 1992 and 1993, they can enjoy a discount of "changing new version of the battery at half price" when the two-year warranty expires, that is, around 1994.

This can also fully win over and comfort the hard-core brainless fans who are willing to be Wang An Xiaobaishi.

Similarly, for the brainless fans of Tiankun Games, users who support the new generation of handheld consoles as soon as they come out will also be compensated in the future.

I would rather make less money by selling machines in the past two years.

"There is no problem with this priority and priority. Let's continue to work hard according to this. In addition, don't leave basic research behind. What we want is long-term competitiveness and surpass the Japanese who was once a teacher as soon as possible." Gu Ao summarized and ordered from a high-level perspective.

With these technical reserves, Wang An and Tiankun’s new generation of complete machines have reached the final sprint stage of R&D.
