Behind the scenes technology company

Chapter 87
"A small gift promised to you and your wife." Wei Lai said to Su Qian and handed the packaged holographic ring to Su Qian.

Su Qian stared at the black metal ring in his hand and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Brother, I'm convinced. 2030 is almost over, and we've been married for more than half a year, and you just remember it now. What is this? What's your day like? In addition to handling company matters in the office, you should also have a life of your own in the laboratory."

As a married person, Su Qian no longer seemed so cold and ruthless as before, and for the first time, he began to pay attention to Wei Lai's life problems.

Wei Lai couldn't bear to tell Su Qian that he had wrongly estimated the difficulty of making the holographic ring, so he procrastinated again and again, and said without changing his face: "Old Wang, I gave one to my mother a while ago, so I remembered to agree. My mother reminded me of your little gift today, and brought it here by the way."

"Holographic ring, when you get home from get off work, you can disassemble it and it will work. There is no manual, just a switch. You're a traitor when you get married. I'm dedicating my life to science."

"All right, all right, you can say whatever you want, just don't let your mother worry about it." Su Qian took the gift and left Wei Lai's office.

The gift to his mother and Su Qian was not as simple as he imagined. It was not until mid-November, a week before Wei Lai's mother's birthday, that Wei Lai came up with the framework of the modeling system. It was as rough as it could be. The system, supported by the combination of superconducting technology, holographic imaging, and depth scanning technologies, finally created the small gift.

It is said to be a small gift, but it is such a handicraft that requires a lot of cutting-edge technology.Functionally, such a small gift can only be used as a souvenir. It cannot make any sound, has no color, and is just a simple model in a ring. Without electricity, it can even be an ordinary metal ring the size of a palm.

Wei Lai is really hardworking. When he is not doing research, in his underground laboratory, he further polishes the research results bit by bit. As a birthday present for his mother and Su Qian and his wife, all the crafts need Technology includes a number of existing technological achievements of the current behind-the-scenes technology companies.

The first is the manufacturing of the holographic ring, which is different from the holographic ring being developed by the research center.The most basic function is of course the display function, which is the function of displaying images as a display. It is also a built-in function of the holographic ring and requires the support of holographic imaging technology.

Secondly, the energy supply of the holographic ring is different from the physical representation. The holographic ring in the closed state is a metal ring the size of a palm. As a gift, Wei Lai does not want it to have wires, so it must be able to supply its own energy.The palm-sized holographic ring does not require high power. Wei Lai used precision machining and superconducting alloy to create a simple micro superconducting motor to achieve energy self-sufficiency.

This is the result of the continuous development of superconducting technology. Under the processing of precision instruments, miniature superconducting motors can also be easily manufactured.But the superconducting generator is not a perpetual motion machine, and still needs a small amount of energy supply. Wei Lai installed a photovoltaic power generation panel in the ring, which is also a micro-sized photovoltaic power generation panel, to provide the starting energy for the superconducting power generation. There is also a superconducting battery inside the shape structure, which provides sufficient energy for the work of the holographic ring in terms of power generation and storage.

As a handicraft, the holographic ring also needs a module, a module for storing data.The presentation of the content is virtual. As an independent handicraft, without any external equipment, a built-in data storage module can save the desired content in a three-dimensional form.

After solving the energy supply and data storage functions, the next step is to polish the appearance. As a gift, Wei Lai wants the appearance of the entire holographic ring to look like a whole. Only the photovoltaic panels and photovoltaic panels need to be left on the outside of the entire metal ring. The switch, which also requires precision machining and casing coverage, has a metal casing that protects the internal structure and can also be laser engraved on the metal casing.In this way, the hardware part of a complete holographic ring craft display is completed.

Ignoring the millions of details of Wei Lai's processing on the handicraft holographic ring, the next work is to display the content.From the beginning, Wei Lai wanted to use holographic technology to show a unique picture as a wedding gift for Su Qian and his wife.At the wedding of Su Qian and Yan Jiayi, Wei Lai failed to give out such a small gift because it had no content.

The research on holographic technology was finalized in early 2030 after the company’s [-]th anniversary press conference was finalized. Wei Lai started silent research until Su Qian and his wife got married in June. What Wei Lai could do was the holographic ring and holographic recorder. The simple manufacturing does not even have the technology to quickly lay out the production line, which is still supported by quite mature and mature holographic imaging technology.In five months, before his mother's birthday, Wei Lai finally got out the rough holographic modeling system.

This is a supplement in content. The early version of the recorder can only take pictures of physical objects in the annular space and does not have more complex functions. The researchers’ priority in research and development is how to make the recorder more convenient to operate in the annular space. Recording, developing more interactive functions, and the recorder that can only shoot in real scenes cannot achieve the combination of virtual environment and characters that Wei Lai thought, and display it in the space inside the ring.

What is not available in reality can only be displayed through modeling.In five months, the composition of a whole set of modeling system took a lot of effort of researchers.Wei Lai carried out redevelopment and design with reference to the existing modeling software and system.To sum up, the current rough early modeling system is actually based on existing equipment to draw a three-dimensional model in the form of textures.

As a display, the holographic ring can directly communicate and exchange data with the recorder. In the absence of a three-dimensional system, researchers need a new data form to input into the storage module of the holographic ring to realize the transmission of information. .Compared with the acquisition of the real scene information of the recorder, the [-]D information spliced ​​and simulated from the [-]D information is not only lacking a lot, but the accuracy is far inferior.

This is one of the reasons why Wei Lai made the entire holographic ring small and exquisite. Limited by the existing three-dimensional modeling technology, Wei Lai did not have more time to build a larger three-dimensional model, so he could only miniaturize it. Three-dimensional modeling reduces production difficulty.Wei Lai was actually not satisfied with the gift he created. The content of the holographic imaging should include the entire natural environment, whether it is the sea, beaches, mountains, or clouds. Wei Lai did not have the time or energy to build a complete three-dimensional model. Output into the holographic ring.

After cutting off the natural environment, and in order to make the entire three-dimensional image less blank, Wei Lai added a chair and a birthday hat to his mother's gift, and chose wedding dresses and suits for Su Qian and Yan Jiayi. These three-dimensional modeling details To make the entire holographic ring space look less monotonous and boring, under the existing technical conditions, a small holographic souvenir and small handicraft can be completely completed.

In the future, such useless handicrafts may be worthless small gifts that go to the street, but at present, it can be said that it is a real gift worth giving in Wei Lai's mind, as it combines many high-end technologies behind the scenes.Money cannot measure mother's birthday, nor the marriage of Su Qian and his wife. What is worth remembering is not the holographic ring, a product of science and technology, but the information and data stored in it. The mother wearing a birthday hat sitting on the luxurious seat The image of Su Qian and his wife hugging each other.

After get off work, Su Qian and Yan Jiayi went home together. The two settled in Huntian City, not far from the future base.

"President Wei made up the wedding gift he said today." Su Qian said to Yan Jiayi.

"What gift? If Mr. Wei gives it, it must be extraordinary." Yan Jiayi said teasingly.

"Haha, I don't know either. Anyway, he spent most of this year in the laboratory, and he didn't know what new gadgets he came up with. The new product that was promised has never been announced. He just knows that it is related to holographic technology, he said. The name of the gift is the holographic ring."

"Then go home and take it apart."

The two returned home, cleaned up the house, had a simple meal, and opened the beautifully wrapped gifts in Su Qian's workshop.

"The box is pretty nice, let's take a look. It should be an electronic product, how do I use it?" After the two unwrapped the gift, a black metal ring quietly stayed in the box. After turning around, I found the Song style characters engraved on it, which said the four Chinese characters "Hundred Years of Love".

"Isn't there a switch? Turn it on and you'll know. It's Mr. Wei who mocked me, saying there's only one switch."

"Wow, it's really beautiful!" Yan Jiayi turned on the switch, and saw that within the space covered by the holographic ring, the blue light converged in the air to form the image of Su Qian and the two hugging, and the wedding dress and suit highlighted the two. temperament, the overall look is unusually harmonious.Immediately afterwards, Yan Jia opened the curtains of the studio, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the dark night, accompanied by a little bit of starlight, made the scene of the entire holographic ring clearer and brighter.

"Mr. Wei is really interested. This should be the research result of the laboratory." Su Qian said, looking at the handicrafts in front of him with bright eyes, as if he had obtained a novel toy.

"I like it very much, it's very romantic." Yan Jiayi said to Su Qian, with a happy smile on her face.

For Su Qian and his wife, this belated gift was full of Wei Lai's best wishes for them.Behind-the-scenes technology is not just a turning point in Su Qian's life. Behind-the-scenes technology has changed the lives of more employees and is also a common home for everyone. Today, as technology continues to change life, it also indicates that more applications of holographic projection will start from behind the scenes. Technology begins.

The next day, Su Qian and Yan Jiayi invited Wei Lai to have a meal, and the three of them devoted themselves to work again, and the new year came with it.The thrilling events of this year, the emergence of maglev trains, the air patrols of law enforcement officers, and the sales of wearable devices have all affected the entire China and the entire world.
