Chapter 132 is theoretically beautiful

  Sanders straightened his collar.

  He will be facing Thomas Watson, the leader of IBM.

  Then he went in while Little Watson waited there.

  "Good morning, Mr. Watson."

  "Hello, Mr. Sanders."

  Little Watson also smiled at his opponent.

  In fact, Little Watson has long been an admirer of Sanders.

  The reason is none other than this person's private life... being too stylish.

  Perhaps because he was born in Hollywood from a young age, Sanders seems to have a strong admiration for the life of big stars.

  Mansions and sports cars made Sanders an overnight sensation.

  Of course, more famous is Sanders' million-dollar annual salary.

  The three letters "CEO" somehow started trending, seemingly related to this as well.

  Nowadays, many company leaders like to give themselves a CEO title on their business cards - in fact, many people are not clear about the meaning of Chief Executive Officer.

  "We are very interested in your company's 'Laser Disk' and the technology is also great. After discussion with our technical department, it is true that your so-called Laser Disk can reach hundreds of times the current storage capacity, but the possibility of errors is really too high."

  Little Watson said so.

  "Yes, we didn't think of using laser discs for data storage at the beginning, but rather for storing images. Since images are recorded in an analog way, a slightly higher error rate doesn't matter for pictures."

  Although he said so, Saunders knew that within the company, there was already a solution - the data on the disk was organized in the form of data blocks, each with an address. After doing so, the data on the disk could be quickly found from hundreds of megabytes of storage space. To reduce the error rate, an error detection and correction scheme was adopted.

  As for error detection and correction, a new coding scheme is used, but the two schemes have not been named yet. After all, Reed-Solomon codes have not appeared yet.

  "If it is used for data recording, it's not impossible, but technically speaking, at least 6 to 8 years are needed before it can be realized."

  Sanders is totally bluffing.

  But Little Watson looked very satisfied.

  "In fact, even if it's used on images, developing laser discs is also very useful... perhaps video tapes will be eliminated from now on... haha." Little Watson smiled and replied.

  Indeed, if CDs really appear, that unparalleled clarity will directly throw all video tapes into the trash can.

  It can be foreseen that this is an industrial revolution.

  For this change, Xiao Watson can't stop and kill it, he can only choose to cooperate. In this way, he can also get a share of the pie.

  They finally reached an agreement.

  IBM and Intel collaborated on developing new optical disc technologies and shared patents, while IBM's patent group helped Intel improve their patent maintenance operations.

  This letter of intent for cooperation soon fell into Catherine's hands.

  It's done like this.

  Catherine was somewhat nostalgic, IBM was so enthusiastic about the concept of optical discs.

  Beneficiaries of old technology standards are often opponents of new technologies, and even IBM, with thousands of new patents every year, is no exception.

  In history, when facing a 20 trillion-yuan optical disc industry, they were the biggest opponents.

  Just like space shuttle, it is a figurative and magnificent example.

  But now things have turned out to be another way.

  But Catherine didn't have time to think about that now; she was busy preparing her materials and getting in touch with the Pentagon.

  The company's engineering quality supervision and management department is currently conducting data analysis on the fluorescent disc, and there will probably be no news until a conclusion is reached.

  But Catherine had prepared a statement about the latest developments regarding Xiao Baozi.

  After all, there is only one batch of expenses now, and the Pentagon should also continue to bleed.

  Catherine brought materials related to Bilibili's dashboard this time.

  At first, Catherine thought of liquid crystal.

  But after the advent of "Trinitron" technology, this girl who preferred CRT displays changed her mind.

  What is referred to as a CRT monitor is that old-fashioned bulky display.

  CRT has rich colors and can display infinite colors, while LCD only has 16 million colors at most, which is not fully realized. Moreover, after stretching the screen of LCD, it will be very rough and blurry, and only the recommended resolution can clearly display the image.

  Gongsun is not Catherine's pursuit, and LCD is the same.

  To be precise, Catherine values SED and FED more.

  Inkjet printhead technology

  In history, the first proposal for a CRT-based printer was made after Canon invented the bubble jet technology in 1985.

  It also became SED and FED.

  In terms of performance, such a panel can save more than 20% power compared to LCDs, and its display effect is excellent, no less than CRT. Moreover, it can be made into a panel and used in the military, which is just right. After all, the longer the battery life, the more beneficial it is for the army's combat.

  Once again setting foot in the Pentagon, Catherine's initial awe of this place had long been thrown out of her mind.

  She is now, just like those suppliers of the Pentagon, constantly wanting to squeeze money out of here.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to talk about this time is the issue on Bilibili's interface."

  Catherine then explained SED and FED's affairs to these officials and generals.

  "Bibi Xiaozi's panel will use SED and FED panels. In comparison, the price of SED is cheaper."

  "Or is FED's performance better?" an official chimed in.

  Catherine remained noncommittal.

  That's not what she said, actually... they're about the same.

  "If it can really provide such good power-saving effect, it seems not bad?"

  The officials were clearly interested in this plan.

  Catherine's plan sounds beautiful, but without thirty or fifty years, it would be too difficult to succeed.

  Although in fact these technologies emerged too late, it was because they started too late, rather than being a technical issue.

  Although I let this technology appear ahead of time, it is like a fluorescent disk, with more implications for cake painting.

  To be exact, it should be neither yes nor no.

  After all, the Pentagon's brick houses are far more numerous than experts, but it is not possible to insult their IQ - although they have allocated $200,000 for a research project on "from which angle to soak compressed biscuits in milk can make them absorb water faster".

  Sounds beautiful.

  There's no problem with describing Catherine's plan like this.
