"What kind of texture do drones need?"

Is it enough to be able to fly and shoot?

Many people don't understand Stardust Technology's fanatical pursuit of texture, and think that instead of spending a lot of money to improve product texture, it is better to have something practical:
For example, using relatively lower-cost manufacturing techniques and materials, and lowering the price, among other things, if the newly released e-paper book Stardust-Ink can be 500 yuan cheaper, the sales will definitely be even higher!

But what they don't know is that this will greatly reduce the reputation of the product, and the price will be cheaper, but as long as the product has a small defect, it will be labeled as "cheap" or "domestic garbage".

Very simple, the red rice in Chen Zifan's memory has been synonymous with "cost-effectiveness" for quite a long time.

But the question is how to lower the price without saving costs?I also want to pursue performance, camera quality, and body texture. There are indeed such comprehensive and capable products, but the price is also very high!
Chen Zifan would rather position the product at a higher level than make the product worse in order to increase sales a little. This is also one of his pursuits.

There is no conflict between the pursuit of products and making money.

So he first emphasized the material and texture of the fuselage after Stardust-Boundary landed. Of course, texture alone is not enough, and there must be enough safety factor guarantee. After all, it is a drone~
Chen Zifan continued:
"Stardust-Margin's excellent body texture will bring us a better user experience! No one wants to buy a product that is a bunch of loose plastic, and no one wants it to break after a few days of use.

In addition to the excellent texture, Stardust-Edge also implements Stardust Technology's tradition of "leaving no room" in terms of configuration. The first is the battery. Of course, the battery of Stardust New Energy goes without saying, but it has a feature:

That is, its battery pack is detachable, that is to say, when we operate the drone outdoors, we can carry another battery in the bag to ensure longer battery life, and its replacement method is also very simple.

As you can see, there is a round button directly below the drone, with a battery mark on it. You only need to press it twice, and the battery compartment below will open, and you can replace it with a new battery.

In terms of charging...

Many people may think that Stardust-Edge also uses the 30W fast charging of Super USB, but it is not. Although it also has a Super USB interface, its charging speed is much faster! "

After all, the size of the fuselage is here. Without the size limit, the charging power will naturally be faster.

The Stardust-Edge, which is also equipped with a sodium-lithium battery, can easily exceed 45W in average power during the actual charging process, with a maximum power of 50W, and maintain the maximum power of 50W for more than 80% of the time.

This kind of data is already very good.

As soon as Chen Zifan typed the introduction on the big screen, the audience burst into cheers.

It made him a little confused.

No, this is a drone!What to do with fast charging?But the audience thought otherwise:
"Stardust Technology can use 50W fast charging for drones today, and it can also be used for mobile phones tomorrow!"

"That is to say, the Stardust 4 series starts with 50W fast charging! The charging is faster!"

"30W is so awesome. If you put 50W on your phone, can it be fully charged in half an hour? Then I'm still worried about the battery life!"

"If you have this technology, why didn't you use it earlier! Why didn't you use it for Xingchen-Chenji? Oh, it turns out that the fuselage is too small, so there is no way to force it..."

"But with such a large charging power, can the battery withstand it? Will it heat up or something?"

"Just trust Stardust Technology. They use sodium-lithium batteries! One of the advantages of sodium-added batteries is that they are safe enough. Although the previous batteries are also very safe, they must not work with such a high power!"

"I think so…"

This is completely overthinking. Even if Stardust New Energy adopts a single-cell development strategy, the charging power can be forcibly increased to more than 100W by virtue of various advanced technologies in [Stardust Technology].

What they don't know is that the 50W fast charging used by Chen Zifan in Stardust-Margin is not the final full-blooded version, it belongs to the advanced version of technology, and the real 50W fast charging should be applied to mobile phones.

And it is still a real full-blooded version. Within 30 seconds of connecting to the charger, the power can be directly increased to the maximum power of 50W, and it will be maintained until the final trickle charging time, which is also about 30 seconds.

Inside Stardust Technology, 50W fast charging is one of the backup solutions. Logically speaking, the Stardust 4 series is only updated in two years, and it must be a different technology that breaks conventional cognition.

This technology is air (wireless) charging, and its research and development progress is also very fast. It is initially estimated that the final test will be completed in early August and enter the actual mass production stage. However, the reality is:
The phase control array used by Stardust Technology is too advanced, and involves a huge chain of interests, and there is no large amount of experimental data to support its safety, so it is too difficult to use it as a mass-produced product.

And it is very likely that the preliminary mobile phone market will become chaotic again. Simply put, the current smart phone market is still in a state of development, and smart phones have not yet been fully popularized.

The 4G base station is still under construction. Stardust Technology will release this advanced technology that can change the times, and it will only be more difficult to control.

Therefore, Chen Zifan also made N backup plans in advance. The most recognized by the high-level is the conventional development strategy of 50W fast charging. "Concept Technology" was released.

Of course, this is not the kind of technology that can only be seen without products. Stardust Technology will also use the technology of air charging on mass-produced models, but it will not be used on Stardust 4 and Stardust 4+. It will open a special model separately, just like Xingchen-Chenji.

The price will also be raised to a new level. In a word, it can be mass-produced for air charging, and it can also be sold next year, but it cannot be a cheap model for the time being, and we have to observe and observe.

However, even if the Stardust 4 series products come out, it will not affect Stardust-Margin. Unlike Stardust-Ink, Stardust-Margin will be updated very quickly, basically about once a year.

And it will also expand the product line, deriving some more professional and commercial drone products.

There is a large battery + fast charging, and a quick-release battery design, which can be replaced at any time. How about the battery life of Stardust-Margin?
Chen Zifan released a PPT, and said at the same time: "Stardust-Edge can take about 1080 minutes of aerial photography in all-weather mode, and in 60p, 90 fps mode, and the battery life is very good!"

Just watched the battery life of Stardust-Ink Wash lasted for nearly a month, and then watched Stardust-Margin only lasted for two hours. Countless viewers were stunned:
"What the hell?"

"90 minutes? Not 90 days?"

"This fucking one is too short!"

"Is 90 minutes not bad?"

"Big brothers! This is a drone! It flies and shoots, and also transmits images in real time. It can last for more than an hour, which is already amazing!"

"Is that so?"

"I have no interest in it for a moment..."

In Chen Zifan's impression, ordinary drone products only have a battery life of about one hour, but there are several products with good battery life, but the price is very high, which is not something ordinary people can afford.

As an entry-level drone product, Stardust-Edge can fly for 90 minutes.

It’s not enough to just look at the battery life, but also to see what it can do!Chen Zifan didn't care about the boos and discussions at the scene, but continued: "Then if I say, its flying altitude is above 150 meters?"

What is the concept of 150 meters?
Based on the calculation of 3 meters per floor, 150 meters must be 50 floors high. Thinking about it this way, many audience members stopped talking, and Chen Zifan continued to add:

"Its flight radius is 5 kilometers, and the fastest flight speed can reach 30 meters per second. The premise is that the weather is good. If you encounter strong wind or heavy rain, it is recommended to fly at a relatively stable speed.

Such a large flight radius and real-time video images are enough for us to have a simple and exciting adventure outdoors, and we don’t need to go there in person, which ensures our personal safety to the greatest extent..."

As Chen Zifan said, he took off again with the remote control Stardust-Edge, and flew to the restricted height of 150 meters. From the top to the bottom, you can see Xinghai Stadium, Stardust Square, and Stardust Factory at a glance.

Adding Stardust Technology Headquarters, Stardust Express Headquarters, and Xinghan Automobile Factory, the entire Stardust Technology site looks very orderly and unconventional!

When it stops at a certain height, the camera can still move to a certain extent, and with the rotation of the fuselage, the impact of the picture is still very strong.

Chen Zifan showed it briefly, and then demonstrated the fastest flying speed of Stardust-Margin. No.1 said it was like a roller coaster experience, which made many people exclaimed and began to shout:

"Fuck! I'm dizzy in 3D!"

"Slow down! I'm afraid! If this hits a bird, the drone must not be scrapped on the spot!"

"It's exciting to watch!"

"It depends on the final price!"

Before announcing the price, Chen Zifan also specifically mentioned the outer packaging of Stardust-Margin:

"We have also equipped a special storage box for Stardust-Edge, in which not only the body of Stardust-Edge can be placed, but also accessories such as control handles, spare batteries, and memory cards."

Of course, these accessories need extra money to buy, and there are many types of storage boxes, and there are more things that can be placed. If you don’t send accessories, you may suffer some criticism, but this will lower the price.

Anyway, the mobile phone can also be controlled, and the control experience is not bad, you don't have to use the handle.

The accessories of Stardust mobile phones are relatively expensive, but the accessories of Stardust-Margin are sold at normal prices.

The box is a gift from the original factory, and the accessories need to be purchased additionally. Those who want to add accessories can buy it themselves, and those who don’t want to add accessories don’t need to spend this money. A drone with a mobile phone and a dedicated APP are enough.

The captured video can also be directly imported into the mobile phone, and the simplest editing can be completed with the built-in function of the photo album, which is very convenient.

Regarding Stardust-Edge, there are actually many functions that have not been introduced or shown, including the safe landing and auxiliary operations that have been done before. Chen Zifan directly summarized them in a promotional video.

Because these things are too cumbersome to demonstrate, even if they are demonstrated, they will lack shocking effects. Stardust Factory has a special test video, which can be placed on the official website and product introduction for consumers to watch.

After the ending promotional video of Stardust-Border ended, Chen Zifan directly announced the price:

"The final selling price of Stardust-Edge is--

2699 yuan! "

This price is the same as the starting price of Stardust-Ink, the difference is that Stardust-Margin does not have a memory version, but a random 32GB SD card is given as a gift, which can be used to store photos and videos.

It can also be directly transmitted to the mobile phone through real-time data, which is more convenient.

However, due to various reasons, the wired transmission between Stardust's mobile phone and computer is very poor, so I can only download a data transmission software produced by Stardust Network on the computer, or use Bluetooth to transmit data.

But none of this is a big deal.

Chen Zifan also hoped that those big companies would reduce their restrictions on Stardust Technology, otherwise, when he spared time, the consequences would not be affordable for them. Do they have to let Stardust Technology also enter the computer market?

He does have plans to enter the field of graphics cards, but this project will take about three years.

When the production line level of the Changhe chip project is a little higher, you can try to make a graphics card.

The price of Stardust-Marginal 2699 is basically in line with the expectations of the audience. This price cannot be said to be expensive, nor can it be said to be cheap. After all, there is no similar product on the market for reference, and Stardust Technology is the only standard.

As for whether it can be sold...

With the current influence of Stardust Technology, it is not a problem to sell some drones, and even if there are really leftovers, they can also be modified to clear out the inventory of drones through bundling sales.

For example, Xinghan Zhixing launched some additional installation services on the car. Adding a few thousand dollars can make your car "bring your own" drone, and you can also remotely control it through the car system to explore the road ahead.

This is also a shipping method.

Chen Zifan continued on the stage:
"Stardust-Edge will also be available on Stardust Official Website, Stardust Mall and other online shopping platforms at 6:11 on June 0. You can also go to the local Stardust store to pre-order, and the delivery time will be faster..."

The stores and after-sales centers of Stardust Technology can be easily found on mobile phones and official websites, including authorized stores, but Stardust authorized stores are relatively less formal than Stardust directly-operated stores.

But compared with mobile phone dealers, it is still more reliable, so in some small cities without Stardust direct stores, people are more inclined to go to authorized stores to buy.

The shipments are all shipped from the nearest Stardust Express warehouse, which can basically be delivered within a day.
