Chapter 18 The Importance of Mathematics

"Studying is happy and boring, but seeing that one can achieve results in one's own study, this kind of satisfaction is really good."

Zhou Yu saw the leaves representing holographic technology on his technology tree growing again. It turned into a small branch with two leaves growing on it, one of which is holographic display technology and the other is holographic camera technology.

During this period, he saw that the company's holographic display equipment sales were sluggish, so he wanted to upgrade his technology.

Companies need to expand rapidly to resist possible attacks from international speculative capital, and in doing so, a large amount of money must be invested.

Now holographic display devices have not become popular and cannot become the company's cash cow.

Ordinary people are just curious about it and understand the functions of holographic devices, but have no idea to buy it.

"Xiaomi, let sales manager Lin Yun come to my office."

Zhang Yunqiang led employees of the Network Technology Department and has developed a fully functional company management software. Zhou Yu asked Xiaomi to take over the software.

Now the company has achieved paperless office work, and Xiaomi can fully control every work detail of the company through the Internet. Even employees on business trips need to operate the company through the APP.

On the first day it took control of the company, it caught three big rats, and Zhou Yu directly reported the case to kill the chicken and scared the monkey.

Lin Yun walked to Zhou Yu's office, and she felt a little nervous. Didn't there be any problems with their sales department employees?

A small-scale nest case occurred in the procurement department and three supervisors were arrested. Feng Yunming, the procurement department manager, was scolded by the president for a long time.

When Zhou Yu saw Lin Yun coming in, he said softly: "Manager Lin is here, please sit down. Your sales department investigates the consumer's purchase index of holographic display devices. Are the statistics now out?"

When Lin Yun heard this question, she said in a relaxed tone: "President, we have collected 180,000 valid answers through the prize-winning questionnaire.

After Xiaomi’s data processing, our sales department team analyzed that the reason for the holographic equipment was unsalable."

"What is the reason for this? Is our company's lack of technical level or is there a problem with our company's publicity strategy?" Zhou Yu asked hurriedly.

Lin Yun said helplessly: "After our analysis, this is our market positioning that we have no good choice.

Most young people nowadays don’t watch TV. They all watch online videos. Our company is now negotiating cooperation with major online video platforms and has not reached an agreement.

We can only watch live programs from CCTV and major satellite TV stations on our holographic display devices, and publicly copyrighted video programs and netizens’ homemade video content.

Netizens tend to make their own video content in two-dimensional circles, and holographic display devices are still not attractive to people who are not in this circle.

Videos shared by netizens on online platforms cannot be played through smartphones and other devices, which greatly dampened netizens' enthusiasm for making videos.

This is the main reason, and there are some secondary reasons, such as the high bandwidth required by holographic display devices, poor data transmission fault tolerance, and slightly unstable networks, holographic images often have mosaics, which makes the experience not very good.

Now the mainstream viewers of TV shows are middle-aged and elderly people. The way we use APP to control devices is too troublesome and is not very friendly to these people.”

Zhou Yu said helplessly: "Starlight Technology was just a small startup company at that time, with less than ten employees, so there was no energy to analyze the market.

After hearing what you said, it is already a high-tech bonus to achieve such results."

"Manager Lin Yun, now I will give you a task to count the feedback from consumers, organize the data and hand it over to the R&D department and the network technology department to make targeted improvements."

After Lin Yun left, Zhou Yu began to sort out the holographic camera technology he had just obtained.

This technology only requires a layer of film on the special glass of holographic display technology, but this layer of film requires extremely high technological content.

Xiaomi: [Discover what the owner is concerned about.]

Zhou Yu received a reminder from Xiaomi that he saw that Xinhuanet broke out a news story.

The Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Culture have carried out special rectification of the illegal trafficking of antiques, cracked down on the treasure hunting network that sells antiques abroad through the Internet, and recovered 28 national treasure-level cultural relics and more than 120 national first-class cultural relics.

Li Kaifu, the actual controller of Baobao.com, fled overseas, and the Ministry of Public Security has issued a Class A wanted order.

"The country is moving so fast that it has been destroyed in just one week." Zhou Yu was a little impressed by the country's speed of action.

In the Jinling Public Security Bureau, a policeman named Gao Li was sulking.

"Go to you, don't let me know who you are. Fortunately, I have been planning a case for more than a year and was messed up by a letter of complaint.

I prepared dozens of sets of fake antiques and was about to catch big fish from abroad, but I caught a bunch of small shrimps."

Zhou Yu had no idea that he had disrupted a certain police officer's plan and forced them to close the net early.

"President, good news, our R&D department has not invested in vain and has made a breakthrough in technology."

Yu Zhenfeng rushed open the door of Zhou Yu's office, his face turned red and he said excitedly.

"Manager Yu is calm. Your R&D department has achieved results. You may not find something that others have developed long ago." Zhou Yu asked in surprise.

The R&D department of Xinghuo Technology is one of the company's largest department.

There are 38 scientists, 115 engineers, and more than 300 part-time students doing odd jobs.

This is also the only department that has entered the formal stage of Xinghuo Technology and recruits part-time students.

30% of Xinghuo Technology's profits are used for R&D expenses, but Zhou Yu did not pay any discounts and fully supported the research and development of new technologies.

"We have definitely made a major breakthrough this time, which is really different from the previous few times. President, come and take a look." Yu Zhenfeng happily invited.

"Okay, I'll go over and see what technology you mentioned is the major breakthrough."

Zhou Yu stood up and went to the R&D laboratory with Yu Zhenfeng.

He is very familiar with this place. The science and technology tree tends to be technical knowledge. Only by familiarizing it can one deeply understand it.

Zhou Yu also often comes to the R&D department to discuss technology with them.

Because he found that discussing technology with others, the technology tree will also absorb knowledge and grow, and it is easy to create sparks of inspiration, making the technology tree grow efficiently, which is higher than that of reading and learning by himself.

Under the leadership of Zhou Yuzhenfeng, he came to the Optical Materials Laboratory.

He saw an old man with gray hair, age spots on his face and a bright spirit, guiding his employees to conduct experiments.

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is this old man? He doesn't seem to be an employee of our company. Is it the foreign aid you hired from where you? The patent issues must be coordinated."

Ma Shangshu, deputy manager of the R&D department, walked over with a proud look and showed off: "President, this is my dad. He is retired and at home.

Our research and development has not been successful for a long time, so I had to invite my dad to sum up the data we developed, but I didn’t expect to make a breakthrough.”

Zhou Yu walked forward and said politely: "The old man must be an expert in materials science. Is there any place you were in before? Are you willing to come to our company to make use of your remaining energy?"

"Haha, young man, you admit it wrong. Old man, I used to be the director of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University. I have been working on mathematics for a lifetime, but I don't know much about materials." Mr. Ma patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and replied cheerfully.

Ma Shangshu immediately explained: "President, when we improved the holographic display equipment, we found that the holographic images displayed vary greatly after the light path was soaked in glass with different concentrations of ionic solutions. We collected experimental data from many times.

But holographic display is a new discipline and there is no theoretical data to support it.

I thought that my dad was a mathematician and asked him to try to sort out formulas or rules.

Unexpectedly, it was really successful. These data were distributed according to certain rules. After we found the rules, the R&D process was guided."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu felt very moved. Then he realized that the middle of the technology tree was mathematics.

Mathematics does not belong to the category of natural sciences, it belongs to a type of formal science.

Mathematics is called the crown of natural sciences. Without mathematics, there would be no natural science.

Any new theory needs to be expressed in mathematics.

Only then did Zhou Yu discover that mathematics determines the height of the science and technology tree, that is, the lower limit of science and technology.
