Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 151 Vacation
"... Let me give you an example. I've told Sister Li about this example before. Sister Chu, think about it, this is a missile."

Lu Yao held his chopsticks horizontally in mid-air.

Then he picked up another pan-fried bun with his other hand:

“It’s a satellite.”

"Well, then what?"

"If the missile wants to hit... for example, your porridge, the satellite will send it the location of your porridge, telling the missile where your porridge is. The RF chip is like a signal transceiver, and it asks the Shengjianbao, that is, the satellite: where is the porridge?

The satellite tells it: the porridge is here, you go one kilometer to the left, then thirty meters to the right, and then fall, yes, that's it. This is how it works.

But... just imagine this signal as sound. The speed of sound propagation is limited. When I speak, you have to hear me before you can respond to me, right?

So, here comes the problem. Every time a normal RF chip speaks, it asks the satellite where the coordinate signal is. The satellite hears it and tells it where the missile is. After hearing it, the missile adjusts its position. This round trip takes two seconds.

In these two seconds, it is possible that the final landing point will have an error of, for example, 100 meters because of the feedback of these two seconds. How does this error come about? "

"It's generated because the missile asks the satellite and the satellite replies to it."

"Yes, but what if we shorten this process to 1 second, 0.5 seconds, or even 0.1 seconds? The missile asks the satellite where Porridge is, and the satellite gives a reply in 0.1 seconds. What will happen?"

"The margin of error will be smaller... and the missiles will be more precise in where they hit."

"Yes."

Seeing that she already understood the principle, Lu Yao nodded:
"This is the role of the RF chip... Of course, this is just the simplest analogy. In reality, if it is really used, it will have to deal with a lot of things, such as noise, signal strength, accuracy, etc. It is a huge and systematic integration, and what I am designing now is just such a... model. By inheriting multiple components to the model, it only takes 0.1 seconds for the satellite to tell the missile where it is... Well, that's about it."

This topic was first brought up by Xu Ruochu.

When everyone was having breakfast together, she asked Lu Yao what he was doing and why he was in such a bad state yesterday. Lu Yao gave the example, "I'm making a large model of a radio frequency chip." He looked at her confused expression and gave her the example.

The working principle of RF chip described by Lu Yao is very straightforward and easy to understand.

But...Xu Ruochu understood that the simpler things are, the more complicated they are.

After understanding what Lu Yao was doing, she couldn't help but ask:
“Is this difficult for you?”

"...It's hard."

Lu Yao nodded again:

"This is just preliminary work. Let's put it this way. I'm just drawing a sketch now. Only when the sketch is out can we make the physical object according to the drawing. The physical object will not work without the dimensions marked in the sketch. But the sketch is a process from 0 to 1. Especially for this model, we can't rely entirely on the existing IBIS model. We need to build some of it ourselves. So... all the parameters need to be recalibrated. All the logical sequences have to start from 0. It's very complicated and the workload is huge... It's very brain-burning. This is also the main reason why I don't remember anything you said to me yesterday."

Hearing this, Xu Ruochu nodded as if he understood, and then asked:

"Why don't you ask someone else to help?"

"It's not necessary at this stage. If I ask someone to help me... the results won't belong to me alone."

"Uh……"

Xu Ruochu was stunned.

I immediately understood what Lu Yao meant.

I couldn't help but look at Hu Li.

Hu Li lowered his head and ate without saying a word.

She already knew what her boyfriend was doing.

So now I just feel guilty.

Xu Ruochu thought for a moment and asked:
"Then is the application field of your chip model...wide?"

"Very wide. In the early stage, it will definitely be relatively... narrow, mainly for some special applications. But in the future, as long as it is made smaller, it will be normal to apply it to mobile phones as a navigation chip."

“Can it be used on a mobile phone?”

"Yes."

"...So, the prospects are very bright. Can you apply for a patent?"

Hearing this, Lu Yao smiled and did not answer directly, but said:

"I haven't thought about it that much yet, let's just do it first and see."

“…are these what you learn in your freshman year?”

"Of course not. To be honest, these technologies...are actually something that only graduate students will actually come into contact with."

Xu Ruochu was stunned.

I couldn't help but ask:
"what do you mean……"

Lu Yao was happy.

The smile is quite easy:

“I’m a genius.”

"..."

Xu Ruochu was speechless.

But...she suddenly discovered one thing, that is, her former "assistant" no longer seemed to be hiding his incompetence.

Lu Yao has always been a very introverted person.

This is her most intuitive impression.

He was firm in his heart, but on the surface, he rarely argued with others. Sometimes, Xu Ruochu even felt that when he looked at something, his "attitude" was condescending.

Like a knife in its sheath.

Those who are familiar with it can feel the sharpness of this knife, but those who are not familiar with it will just think it is just an ordinary weapon.

But now...

Something is different.

She couldn't help but look at Hu Li opposite her again.

He...is changing.

she said to herself.

……

After the meal, Lu Yao was the first to stand up and say goodbye.

It was useless for Hu Li to send it.

He left by taxi.

Hu Li didn't want to drive today, so he chose to take Xu Ruochu's car.

On the way to the company, Xu Ruochu thought about it and gave a suggestion:
"Xiaochen and the others are about to go on holiday."

"Well, what happened?"

Hu Li still hasn't reacted yet.

Then Xu Ruochu continued:
"A few days ago, he said his teacher had given him a final assignment, so he bought a new computer at home."

Hu Li was stunned.

I understood what she meant instantly.

But his brows were furrowed.

"…Do you want to get a new computer at home?"

"?"

Xu Ruochu was speechless for a moment.

I thought to myself, what are you talking about?

But Hu Li immediately adjusted the volume of the music, and when the song became louder, he leaned close to her ear and said:

"I want to put Lu Yao's clothes at your house first. Let me use the second bedroom as well. I can't put them at my house."

All of a sudden, Xu Ruochu understood what she was thinking.

And when you think about it carefully...it is really like that.

To put it more objectively, Xiaolijie's house has no space. After all, her house is only about 100 square meters. Among the four bedrooms, the largest one was converted into a practice room, and among the remaining three bedrooms, she slept in the smallest one, and the other two were converted into cloakrooms by demolishing the walls. Even if she really wanted to get a computer, her house was too small, so she could only put it in the living room.

What's more...the best situation for her family right now is to have nothing.

It would be best if there wasn't any trace of Lu Yao.

Just as he was about to agree, he heard Hu Li continue:

"I plan to buy another house in Lu Yao's name, which will be more convenient."

“…Still here?”

"Ah."

Hearing this, Xu Ruochu thought about it and shook his head:

"Let me do it. Give it to him through my hands. It has nothing to do with you."

"Okay. But it will take time to decorate and let the smell fade away. So I'll leave his things with you first."

"Well, okay."

With just a few words from the two of them, Lu Yao might have one more property in his name in the next few days...

But he was not very clear about all this.

After returning to school in the morning, he got the exam time.

The first-year final exams for the Department of Electronics will begin one after another starting tomorrow.

When Yu Kun talked to him, he nodded indifferently.

For him, the freshman year exams were just like adding one plus one in elementary school.

But for the others in 305, it was obviously a big challenge.

Liu Mingze didn't even play games anymore... Fortunately, the World of Warcraft Arena season had ended, and Shen Yi finally got the gladiator dragon he had been dreaming of.

He also took one for the mage account that Xu Ruochen gave to Lu Yao.

Unfortunately, he had hardly logged in a few times this semester. Usually, it was Master Xu and Liu Mingze who took turns playing.

But after all, Lu Yao, who had been busy for many days, could finally take a break.

On the 11th, the students in Room 305 burned incense, worshipped Buddha, and took baths early in the morning, praying that they would pass the exam... In fact, the other three were quite confident in themselves, but Yu Kun's results were not so good.

He has thought about "changing jobs" more than once this semester.

I was tricked by my teacher into studying electronic engineering, but after half a semester I still didn't fully understand these things.

Fortunately, Lu Yao helped him with his studies in the past two days.

As for how much you can understand, how much you take in, whether you will fail the exam or not... you will only know after the results come out.

In the morning, Lu Yao sat in the examination room amidst the curious gazes of his classmates.

【1. Among semiconductor materials, what element is doped into N-type semiconductor?
A. Boron (B)

B, Phosphorus (P)

C, Arsenic (AS)

D, germanium (GE)]

He yawned lazily...

Ok.

It is more difficult than even elementary school students.

…The final exams began, marking the end of the first half of the freshman year.

Everyone packed up and prepared to go home.

The exam subjects were arranged according to the course schedule, and the time was naturally different, so it was very scattered. But the academic pressure was there, and Lu Yao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that even the usual shouting and yelling in the dormitory was much quieter during this period.

People who don’t know might think it’s the college entrance examination.

Over the next few days, as the results came out one after another, Lu Yao's grades were perfect in every subject.

Got all the GPA.

But Mr. Yu had a tragic ending. He failed linear algebra and died miserably.

After all... Lu Yao was speechless.

How could one fail such a basic subject as linear algebra?
If you can even fail this, how did you get into Fuhua?
But... there's really no way to deal with failing a course, just retake it. Review it over the winter break, and as long as you pass it when school starts, you'll pass it.

As for not being able to pass... the homework is your own, so there is really nothing you can do.

The things taught in the freshman year are so basic that they cannot be more basic. If you find even these difficult, then Lao Yu may have made a mistake.

After the exams, the school will prepare for the holidays.

Before the holiday, Lu Yao was dragged by Mr. Xu to Xinsuo again.

However, his condition this time is obviously much better than last time, at least he is not "perfunctory".

I recorded "Flowers" formally, and then re-recorded the demos of the other three songs.

Mr. Xu didn't mention the cost, but everyone knew it. Even Wei Qianqian said that all the proceeds from the album belonged to him... But Mr. Xu waved his hand nonchalantly, thinking it was unnecessary.

With the final version finalized, "Flowers" finally landed on the Kugou and Kuwo music platforms after much anticipation.

But to be honest, there is no profit at the moment.

Everyone can listen for free.

If you really want to make money, you have to wait for the album to be produced and then realize profits through album sales.

So, after the audio source was released on the platform, Wei Qianqian specifically found Lu Yao to discuss this matter.

The meaning is very simple:
"A band like us that is not signed by a company...if we don't release an album, Xu Ruochen will keep paying for it. We gave him the A, but he doesn't want it. It's not appropriate."

"understood."

Lu Yao, who was about to go back to the dormitory to pack his luggage for the holiday, nodded:

"Give me a vacation to write seven or eight songs. I've been busy with my own things lately and really don't have time."

"Okay. Then...if someone wants us to perform commercially, will you accept it?"

Hearing what the monitor said, Lu Yao was a little surprised:
"Someone is looking for us now?"

"Yes, but they are all companies that want to sign contracts with us. What I mean is... if I can get in touch with some bars or performances, would you like to participate?"

"Uh...have you asked anyone else?"

"not yet."

"I'm fine with either, but you have to tell me in advance. If others have no objection, then it's definitely OK."

"it is good."

Lu Yao agreed, and Wei Qianqian felt relieved. After all, during this period, whether it was recording songs or Teacher Wu, no one really paid a penny. In fact, after Teacher Wu got the demos of the three songs, he also liked them very much and had been "helping" to produce them during this period.

But she understood the connection between helping and money, so she didn't want to do that.

Who knows... Lu Yao was able to make it through, but when she discussed this with Xu Ruochen, she received a very "firm" opposition:

"No, forget about commercial performances. Unless it's a large rock festival, or the same song... If I go to that kind of commercial performance where you just pay for it, squad leader, do you believe that my dad will break my legs?"

"Uh……"

Wei Qianqian found it a little ridiculous.

And "The Same Song"... You can just sing the same song whenever you want?

However, the rejection from the "big money sponsor" made her "business blueprint" come to an end.

This matter can only be left aside for the time being.

But there is good news...Flowers seems to be really popular.

Within a few days of logging into Kuwo Music Box, it had already made it into the top 50 of the Kuwo music charts.

This result... is incredible.

Although there is no source of income, it shows one thing, that is... a lot of people listen to this song.

Everybody likes it very much.

The No One Survivors band has come into the sight of many people at this critical juncture of the end of the semester.

Although this song has not yet reached the level of being sung everywhere like "Love Transfer" and "Little Lucky", it has made it into the top 50 on the pop music charts. For a rock band, this achievement is already incredible.

Even, in Wu Mengqi's words:
"Qianqian, if you can sign the contract... you will definitely be able to succeed while the popularity is high."

Indeed it is.

Kuwo and Kugou are the largest music platforms on the Internet. Music charts have always been a battleground for all singers. A band composed of college students has made it into the top 50 with just one song. This achievement is really amazing. At this time, as long as they can sign a contract with a company, no matter what company it is, they will spare no effort to promote it.

Unfortunately...they didn't sign the contract at all.

Not to mention what Wu Mengqi said, Chen Pu also contacted people from Xinsuo, hoping to talk to the band through the relationship with guitarist Xu Ruochen.

As a result... the people from Xinsuo ignored Chen Pu at all.

It’s not that they looked down on Chen Pu, but Chen Haiwen simply suppressed the matter after hearing about it.

Sign the eldest son of the Xu family as a singer?

Isn't that the same as taking the initiative to go to the King of Hell?

You are not afraid of death, but I am.

So, a strange phenomenon occurred.

It is obvious that the song "Flowers" has performed very well on both Kugou and Kuwo platforms.

But...no one has children and the band is living a peaceful life.

First, I don’t accept any commercial performances, and second…there aren’t many rock festivals in China in the middle of winter.

And they don't even have an agent.

No one cares at all...

Anyway.

Anyway, as time got closer to the Chinese New Year, Fuhua finally ushered in the winter vacation on January 1th.

The people from 305 went out to have a meal together, and then went their separate ways without any sense of separation.

Yu Kun and Liu Mingze both left in the morning, and when Lu Yao woke up, there was no one in the dormitory.

He was not in a hurry and started to disassemble his computer.

Just as I was packing, the door was pushed open.

Xu Ruochen and Xue Mingyue walked in one after the other.

Lu Yao was somewhat speechless:

"How did you get in?"

"I walked in."

Xue Mingyue said with a smile.

Lu Yao thought that those two bottles of Moutai and two bottles of Zhonghua were really awesome. This dormitory building was almost becoming Mr. Xu’s home.

Bring in whoever you want.

"Are you free tonight?"

After Xu Ruochen pulled the suitcase out of the cabinet and handed it to Xue Mingyue, he sat on the chair and asked.

Xue Mingyue began to help pack his clothes.

"No. Go home and continue to endure it."

"…You don't even take a break during the holidays?"

"No rest, try to finish it before the end of next semester. It's urgent."

"That's...ok."

Looking at his determined tone, Xu Ruochen felt a little regretful.

He originally wanted to take Lu Yao out to play.

But he also understood why Lu Yao did that, so this time, for once, he didn't force him.

After hearing this, Xue Mingyue glanced at Lu Yao, said nothing, and continued to work.

In fact, during this period of time, Shen Wan has been asking her about Lu Yao's news.

After a semester of contact, Xue Mingyue also learned from Mr. Xu what Lu Yao was like when he was busy, but he also admired him... It's really rare to find someone who is so focused.

And now after hearing the news and telling Shen Wan, it was another favor.

Just like that, when Lu Yao had almost finished packing his things, his phone rang.

When he saw the caller, he was stunned, and then showed the screen to Mr. Xu.

When Master Xu saw it clearly, he was also speechless.

Because the person who called... was my sister.

"Hey, Chujie."

"Are you busy?"

"No, I'm packing up to go home. It's vacation time."

"So you are sober now, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, come see me in the afternoon and go to a cocktail party with me in the evening."

"Uh... OK, I understand. I'll contact you this afternoon."

"Well, hung up."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao said to Xu Ruochen:
"Sister Chu asked me to attend a cocktail party."

"..."

Mr. Xu was speechless, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Yao became "unfriendly".

grandma's.

This damn scumbag deserves to be chopped to pieces!

"I'll strangle you to death!!!"

"Cough cough cough..."

At the side, Xue Mingyue, who was helping Xu Ruochen tidy up his clothes, watched the two of them playing around. Although she didn't understand why, her temperament seemed to indicate that life was peaceful and tranquil.

Ok.

That's really good.
