Coquettish Rebirth

Now that he agreed with Jia Hongjian's plan, Ni Guangnan quickly began to gather manpower to tackle such a central router in Jia Hongjian's plan, and Jia Hongjian himself followed along to watch when he was free.To be honest, this hub router is not troublesome to make, at least not in terms of hardware.First of all, the router itself is still a router after all, and the components and circuits inside are basically the same as those on the market, at least in terms of network function implementation.In such a case, to make an engineering prototype in the laboratory, that is to buy a router outside, disassemble it and fiddle with it!

After disassembling a router and getting out the circuit board and antenna inside, the only thing to do is to get a 7-inch LCD screen and consider combining the LCD screen with the router.Of course, it is necessary to plug the driver circuit board of the LCD screen into the router, which is generally not difficult, but the previous router itself did not have an output terminal for displaying signals, which means that just plugging a The LCD screen and the driving circuit cannot simply be connected to an interface to make the LCD screen work and operate the router.Therefore, if the future finished products want the LCD screen to directly display the operation page of the router, it is necessary to add a display chip, and it is necessary to modify the circuit design of the entire router.But now it’s just a simple principle experiment, so I found a special display chip circuit board to cooperate with the display screen, and finally got a network communication chip to allow the LCD screen to be combined with the router—we don’t want to directly use it on the router. Add a display chip to the circuit, so that the content of the router can be displayed on the LCD screen, it can only be done through the network, and it is connected to the router with another computer through a network cable, and then the computer can see the inside of the router The operation page is the same...

After completing a laboratory sample in this way, the effect is still ok.Although it is not convenient to operate the router pages on the market through the LCD screen.But isn't this just the space for us to transform the software level?If the routers sold on the market are very easy to operate after being equipped with an LCD screen, and the page design logic is also well matched with the LCD screen, then how can there be room for our current development?Others must have started doing it long ago!The principle experiment is here, and it is only half successful. Next, we will try to put the hard disk in and connect it.To put the hard disk in, it is not just a circuit board.Because the circuit board in this router has no interface for the hard disk at all, and none of the various chips can cooperate with the hard disk!

But this is not difficult for Jia Hongjian and others. Our group of people are all "technical geeks", and they are all "technical nerds" with god-level hands-on ability!I found a mini notebook with a 7-inch screen previously sold by Huaxia Hi-Tech, and removed the motherboard and hard drive inside. Wouldn’t that work?Remove the motherboard hard drive and the battery together, and connect them to the router together.In this way, it is actually equivalent to stuffing a small computer into the router box, and connecting this small computer through the LAN interface of the router, so that it can be downloaded?Of course.When this step has been achieved, the download still needs to be connected to the input device on the motherboard of the small computer, and the video signal input line of the LCD screen is also connected to the motherboard, but the hardware has already met Jia Hongjian's requirements!Next, it is required to control the computer to download by operating the router, which is a matter of software level!

That's right, to put it bluntly, the smart router that Jia Hongjian requested is actually a small computer!It's just that the operating system has undergone a series of specialization.As a result, many functions have been weakened, and only some designated reserved functions are reserved!Experiment on the principle of such a hardware.Jia Hongjian was quite satisfied, and the engineers of Luo Feng and other teams were also very satisfied, so the next thing to do was to carefully design the internal hardware structure of the future finished product from scratch.In terms of design, Jia Hongjian can't get involved, but Jia Hongjian can give them some advice-"By the way, Da Luo, when we look back at the design, the general hardware can be closer to the enterprise level...not It must be completely enterprise-level, for example, the hard disk does not need to be enterprise-level, but the function of the router should be as close as possible to the enterprise level."

"Enterprise level?" Luo Feng was stunned for a moment, he didn't quite understand.You must know that enterprise-level things are completely different from those used by ordinary people!If the hard disk is used as an example, it is completely impossible for ordinary civilian-level hard disks to be used in enterprise-level applications.To put it simply, what is the enterprise level is the hard disk used by large enterprises for servers and the like!These hard disks have very high requirements, for example, there will be no problems within 3 years, and they must withstand a large amount of data recording and erasure within [-] years!After three years, the company may directly replace the hard drives in batches regardless of whether they are good or bad!The hard disks used by enterprise servers may record data worth millions or even hundreds of millions in an enterprise!

Take Huaxia Hi-Tech as an example. Huaxia Hi-Tech's online shopping platform contains consumer shopping history, consumer reviews, products on the shelves of various merchants, and logistics information, all of which are stored in the hard disk!If the hard drive suddenly fails, how big of a problem is it?How much does this cost?In the commercial field, if the money that could have been earned is not earned, this is tantamount to a loss!Enterprise-level hard disks are not the same as server-level hard disks. Performance does not necessarily have to be better than desktop-level hard disks. For enterprise users, stability is more important. During long-term and complicated work, if the hard disk suddenly A failure will bring irreparable losses to the enterprise.

Therefore, according to a certain definition, enterprise-class hard drives have 7x24 hours of uninterrupted operation capability. Compared with desktop-class hard drives, the most important difference between enterprise-class hard drives is reliability, long-term operation, and a high mean interval between failures. time!As for enterprise-level routers, Luo Feng, as the current chief engineer of Huaxia Hi-Tech, understands that this enterprise-level router is much better than ordinary civilian routers—this enterprise-level router is actually Similar to a computer, it also has its own cpu, and then you can create many sub-networks, except for these professional-level cattle.Of course, reliability is also very good!Ordinary civilian routers may have some minor problems for a month or two, and they must be restarted. Consumers can still accept it, but enterprise-level routers are different, that is, they can’t go wrong even if they need to run continuously 7x24x365!

Huaxia Hi-Tech still sells many products such as routers and switches on the market. When China was connected to the Internet.The interface routers throughout China are provided by Huaxia Hi-Tech!Moreover, Luo Feng was responsible for the research and development under the leadership of Ni Guangnan back then. He understood the meaning of enterprise-level routers too well, and he also knew that there was a big conflict between Jia Hongjian's request and the previous request for routers—— —"But Mr. Jia... for an enterprise-level router, the cost can't be suppressed, seven or eight hundred plus a display screen and a hard drive... I guess it will be difficult to do it..." This is what Luo Feng said. Very conservative!In fact, he knows that if it is really going to be an enterprise-level router, the high-end router alone will cost close to 1 yuan!And the ordinary one or two thousand is considered very, very entry-level in the enterprise class!If this is really an enterprise-level requirement, it will really exceed the rhythm of a thousand yuan every minute!Even if you do it again, you will be a beggar again.Finally, with the addition of an LCD screen and a hard disk, it is impossible to guarantee that the cost will be below 1000 yuan!

But who knows that Jia Hongjian shrugged his shoulders and said at this time: "I know, what I want is only some enterprise-level effects on the surface, such as dual-band professional pcb smart array antennas, and smart signal tracking technology. , What is the enterprise-level special design cooling air duct system plus intelligent low-speed, high-volume, silent fans... Anyway, I want some professional-looking gimmicks that can be used to brag. , but I feel that our products seem to be very powerful!" "This? This is not a lie..." Luo Feng was so surprised that he almost said what was in his heart!In his opinion, isn't this a gimmick and a fraud?Obviously not an enterprise-level product.Is it bragging to make ordinary people feel like it is enterprise-level?Can this work?Isn't this a lie?

Jia Hongjian patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "False? Of course not. We strictly follow the advertising law and never make false claims. We don't say that the product is an enterprise-level router, and we don't say that the hard drive is an enterprise-level hard drive. We are talking about professional pcb array antennas used on enterprise-level routers, and we are talking about professional air ducts on enterprise-level routers! You need to know the psychology of ordinary people. People spend money to buy cheap things. Then you know the benefits when you buy them. When people want to buy expensive things, they always have to feel in their hearts that they are worth the money! Otherwise, are they fools? So we add a little bit of professionalism to our products, and use a bunch of professional terms to make consumers feel Wow, the thing we paid for seems very professional and awesome! Then they feel relieved in their hearts. Don’t they just think that the money is worth the money?”

That's right, who is Jia Hongjian?He wants to play gimmicks, which is definitely different from other domestic manufacturers!How do other domestic manufacturers play gimmicks?Why put a built-in filter screen coated with a bactericidal coating in the air conditioner, it is called an automatic sterilizing air conditioner, regardless of whether the coating will be completely useless after a year or so.Then what is called a washing machine that does not use washing powder at all is actually just hiding a large can of washing powder. When the washing powder is used up, this washing machine must use washing powder, otherwise how can it be possible to wash clothes?The gimmicks played by these domestic manufacturers are purely to treat consumers as fools, and they are really using the tricks of liars.Obviously the effect was achieved through opportunism, but they just advertised that they have the core patent and that they used technology to achieve the miraculous effect!But we are different. The things we use are indeed professional-grade parts, and we don’t promote too much that the overall product is professional-grade, right?Let's just publicize the part we used professional-grade parts, and the rest... let's just keep silent, is this absolutely conscientious?We will never tell lies!Just didn't tell the whole truth!
