Chapter 240 Brainstorming, New Ideas
Therefore, although this research and development project cost hundreds of millions of funds.
But the rewards in other aspects are huge. Now the production of 60 million screens is almost complete.
The production cost of these screens has dropped from around 110 to around 80, which has already reached its limit.
Now due to technological innovation, the price has dropped to about 30-40 yuan per screen.
Producing 60 million screens again will reduce costs by 2.4 billion to 3 billion.
As for these costs, the researchers don't know them at all, not even Lei Heng from the glass company's research team.
That's why Gong Rongtao kept smiling from the beginning.
Now that he saw a group of people in front of him who were so passionate and motivated, it was hard for him to extinguish their passion.
Such passionate youth is quite good.
A group of people once again discussed how to improve or simplify their research results.
Design and production are discussed together, and some of their ideas can be quickly and simply verified theoretically.
Gong Rongtao couldn't say anything when he saw them like this.
Silently he walked to the simple bed in the corridor outside the laboratory and closed his eyes to sleep.
"This kind of thing can be improved. First of all, it is too big and it will definitely not be easy to popularize. If it is made smaller, the cost will be much lower." One person put forward his opinion.
Everyone immediately began to calculate how much it would cost if they only made a cylinder with a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 20 cm.
The results came out soon.
At a cost of 15 million yuan, such a small cylinder would cost 3,750 yuan.
I believe that many people can still accept this kind of price. Even if there are many figures of this size compared to others, there are not many such prices.
“I think many people can accept this price.”
"Yes, it shows that our research is still useful."
After calculating this, everyone feels that they can bring a lot of sales to the company.
Lei Heng from the research team of Yidian Glass thought for a while and said immediately.
"The cost and price can definitely be reduced a lot, but not this much!"
When the others heard Lei Heng's words, everyone looked at him in confusion.
Seeing everyone staring at him closely, he immediately explained: "You must know that the previous large cylinder was expensive, partly because it was too large and difficult to process. And if it was just such a small cylinder, it would be difficult to process. It will be reduced exponentially. This will significantly reduce the cost, and it is estimated that the cost can be directly cut in half.”
Cut the cost in half.
"That's less than 2,000 yuan, so something like this will definitely sell well."
"Ambient lighting is also perfect as a decoration, gift, or even a night light."
"This cylindrical three-dimensional phenomenon device not only sells equipment, but also sells a lot of modeling skins."
"Yes, you can sell skins."
"This is definitely a huge amount of income. You have to know that game companies such as Goose Factory can make a lot of money just by selling skins."
"We can also produce smaller cylinders or other shapes that can be turned into pendants for keychains or pendants for necklaces."
"Yes, yes, it can display some three-dimensional images of lovers, relatives, and children."
"Of course it can also be some scenery, the moon, flowers, animals, it can show everything."
The discussion is getting more and more heated, and there are really many possibilities.
But none of these changes break out of the current framework.
One of them has been watching silently without making any comments.
He is a member of the interest group, named Kang Chen.
From time to time, he glanced at the cylinder on the side, looking at the image displayed inside, and then fell into thinking again.
Finally, he silently walked to the front of the three-dimensional image, stared at the displayed character, took a few steps to the left, then returned to the original point again, and took a few steps to the right again.
Then he returned to the starting point again and took out the control panel.
The characters inside began to switch, one was the Empress, the other was Yan Lingji, the other was Xiao Wu, the other was Medusa, and the other was Tifa.
He observed them carefully.
Kang Chen's strange behavior attracted many people.
One of them saw his strange behavior and was about to step forward to speak, but was stopped by Ning Xiaoxing.
Ning Xiaoxing shook her head at the person on her side.
He knew in his heart that this might be Kang Chen's idea, and now he was just constantly verifying and clarifying his idea.
As an experienced researcher, he has been in this situation before.
All of a sudden, the laboratory became quiet, and everyone watched Kang Chen's actions silently.
They were afraid of disturbing his thoughts.
I don’t know how long it took.
Kang Chen, who had been looking around, suddenly shouted excitedly, "I figured it out."
Kang Chen turned his head and looked at the people who were standing silently aside.
"Brothers, I thought of an application scenario, and it can also significantly reduce the cost."
"Kang Chen, tell me quickly." Ning Xiaoxing asked eagerly immediately.
"It's like this. When we usually look at something, we actually always see the 180-degree surface in front of it, and we can't even see the 180-degree surface in the back."
Everyone nodded in approval.
"Therefore, our cylinder is not necessary in many scenes. In fact, as long as there is a half circle, the visual effect it brings to users is actually the same, all three-dimensional."
The people in the laboratory thought about it carefully and it was true.
Half a cylinder really doesn't make much difference.
This is really because they are a little trapped in the inertia of thinking, thinking that three-dimensional images must be displayed in 360 degrees.
"Why didn't we think of it? After all, many scenes of three-dimensional display devices must be fixed in one place, so only half of it can achieve the effect."
"However, some applications still require complete new equipment."
Kang Chen saw everyone's situation and knew that they were still somewhat limited in their thinking.
So he said to everyone again.
"Have you thought about it carefully? In fact, there is no need to make it into a cylinder. You can think about what the sample we got is like."
Ning Xiaoxing and others immediately thought of the sample, which was a mobile phone screen.
Thinking about the connection between the mobile phone screen and what Kang Chen said.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to my mind, so it turned out to be like this.
If this is the case, it will definitely be another breakthrough, and the improved product will definitely affect countless people.
Ning Xiaoxing looked at Kang Chen, wanting to wait for his final announcement.
