1991 Starting from the core

He really didn't expect that TI wanted to develop solid-state drives - there was no doubt that this had deviated too far from TI's original route.

But looking back, it seems that since the cooperation between Deyi and Yuanxin, it has completely deviated from the development of history...

Su Yuanshan was just stunned for a moment.

As expected of Deyi, he gets into trouble as soon as he comes.

The current solid-state drives, even if they use MLC particles, before the emergence of multi-layer structures, if you want to get a large capacity, you can only desperately add more flash memory particles.

From this perspective, a lot of particles can really be digested - but the cost is there! Even if there are enterprise users willing to consume, how many will there be?

"Okay, very good." Su Yuanshan nodded. He was not a kind person. In the field of electronic products, national defense and enterprises have always taken the lead, and ultimately national consumption is the direction of development. If TI wants to target enterprise users, it will probably be... a bit miserable.

Seeing Su Yuanshan nod, Jiang Shangwen breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace, and said with a smile: "Then... what are the conditions for the transfer?"

"Look at your technical reserves for flash memory particles." Su Yuanshan blinked: "If Deyuan doesn't want to contribute to the architecture of flash memory particles, then... maybe our conditions will be higher."

…

When Su Yuanshan learned that Deyi's technical reserves were still at the level of "back then", Su Yuanshan even couldn't bear it.

——Back then, after flash memory was invented by Mr. Fujio of Toshiba, the West began to follow suit, and Toshiba was also nonsense, completely unaware of the future of flash memory technology. Instead, Intel "cheated" it first, and then was poached by Samsung. A lot of talent in the flash memory department ended up with... nothing.

But although Toshiba is short-sighted in the field of flash memory, it still has business acumen. At least in the first few years, in order to monopolize the technology, Toshiba wielded a big stick and filed lawsuits everywhere to eliminate the enemy invisible-Tokuyi was one of them. one of the victims.

Now, in theory, Yuanxin's MLC particles are also facing the possibility of lawsuits - this time Su Yuanshan went to Niguo, Toshiba's trip was to solve this problem.

So in the end, Su Yuanshan agreed to Deyi's request and came up with a transfer plan that both parties found suitable - after all, both parties still had to continue doing business and leave a front line so that they could meet each other in the future.

It's just a pity that Yuanxin does not yet have the ability to take over TI's superior technology. otherwise……

…

On January 17, Su Yuanshan came to the foundry.

"Senior brother, Lao Wang."

Su Yuanshan walked into the conference hall quickly. Although he greeted the two of them, his eyes fell on the conference table in front of Jiang Qingchuan.

In front of Jiang Qingchuan, there was an electronic device not much larger than a disposable lighter. He and Wang Chuanfu sat together, each wearing an earphone, like students sharing music in school.

"Two grown men... you." Although Su Yuanshan canceled in his mouth, there was a smile in his eyes as he quickly approached the two of them.

"Haha, we're testing the sound quality." Jiang Qingchuan took off the headphones and handed the MP3 to him: "Just put it on, don't worry about quality control."

"Well, let me listen." Su Yuanshan took the MP3, put on the headphones again, and held the gadget in his hand fondly.

Su Yuanshan followed the design drawings of this first MP3, so he couldn't find any fault with its appearance. It was originally planned to be driven by AA batteries, but after thinking about it later, since the next step is to If you push for lithium batteries, then just use polymer lithium batteries.

So this MP3 was born - it has an "ultra-long" duration of more than eight hours of continuous playback, 64M storage space, and can accommodate about 15 MP3 songs. At the same time, it uses Sony's audio chip, so it can be owned Decent sound quality level.

If there is any regret, it is that it does not yet support lyrics display. And in order to save some costs, it does not have an LCD panel.

But these are not problems. Yuanxin is already actively promoting the lyrics format. As expected, it will be implemented in the next version.

"Not bad!" Su Yuanshan put on his headphones and pressed the play button. He heard that it was Yang Yingying's latest album. He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law's new album? Senior brother, you are piracy..."

"Haha, this is the most genuine version." Jiang Qingchuan chuckled: "How is it?"

"Very good, the sound quality is good. The battery temperature...is also okay." Su Yuanshan held the player to feel the temperature and said to Wang Chuanfu: "Old Wang, is there something wrong with the battery?"

"Mr. Shan, what you said makes sense..."

"No, I'll just say it casually. After all, this thing - huh? There's no place for threading?"

Su Yuanshan looked over and over, and saw that although the quality control of this first MP3 player in history could not be said to be true, it was obviously carefully considered. It was covered with black piano paint, exuding elegance and classicism.

But there are no holes for threading.

"I must have forgotten..."

"Plus plus, don't forget it. Do you know how to use this thing?" Su Yuanshan put it on his chest: "Look, how fashionable it is?"

Wang Chuanfu and Jiang Qingchuan both laughed at the same time - Mr. Shan seemed to be still a young man no matter what he did. Well, indeed, only young people understand young people.

"So, since this thing is likely to be hung on people's chests, safety is very important - even if it is not hung on the chest, even if it is carried in the pocket."

As Su Yuanshan stared at Wang Chuanfu, he became serious: "As a new product, lithium batteries cannot cause any safety accidents."

"Yeah, I know. We've done countless tests, and even done radical pinprick tests..."

Su Yuanshan immediately put down the player, stared at Wang Chuanfu and said, "How is it?"

The acupuncture test, as the name suggests, is to use an extremely violent method to directly insert a steel needle or other conductor into a lithium battery - as we all know, lithium batteries cannot have the slightest short circuit. Once the internal short circuit occurs, violent combustion will occur.

That was only dared to be passed after a century. Could it be that Wang Chuanfu has it all done now?

"Well... the acupuncture test is an extremely extreme situation." Wang Chuanfu pursed his lips: "But our direction is to pass it, and now we have a clear idea."

Su Yuanshan was slightly relieved after hearing this.

It scared him - if Wang Chuanfu could do it now, this guy might not be a genius better than himself.

"Xiaoshan, what about the acceptance inspection?" Seeing that Su Yuanshan couldn't put it down, Jiang Qingchuan asked with a smile: "I always feel that if this thing is submitted for acceptance inspection, will it be a bit too much?"

"Don't worry, as long as it is the first in the world, even if it is just a small player, the ministry will be absolutely happy. And you don't have to worry about the rhetoric of the news at all. Reporters and editors are professionals, they Know how to blow for us."

"What about the source of the sound?" Jiang Qingchuan continued to stare at Su Yuanshan and asked.

He knows that the MP3 format only exists on the Internet and has not yet become widely popular.

This is a big problem.
