Armor: I can only summon the general

Under Hua He's expectant eyes, Dr. Garu took out the smartphone derivative product produced and assembled by their research institute from the anti-static bag.

When the doctor took the thing out of the anti-static bag completely, the new product finally revealed its true appearance, but Hua He's heart instantly sank, because what the doctor was holding in his hand was not the smart phone he had been thinking about, but a wide and long thing.

The thing was estimated to be about 15 centimeters long and nearly 10 centimeters wide. Judging from the shape of the doctor's hand when he held it, its thickness was much greater than that of a modern smartphone. From its appearance alone, it looked no different from a pencil case.

"Doctor, are you sure you didn't take the wrong thing? This thing doesn't look like a smartphone. Or did you just use your own initiative because you had nothing better to do and didn't follow the information I gave you at all?"

Hua He was filled with disappointment and spoke mercilessly, once again expressing his full hostility towards Dr. Garu.

“Hua He, don’t worry. My brother just said that what they made is a derivative product, not the original smartphone.

I know what you are worried about. I have also worked in a research institute, but please trust my brother and his team. They are all very rigorous scientific researchers and will not seek novelty for mundane things. Please listen to what my brother has to say first."

Meizhen comforted Huahe in a soft voice. She had seen the information Huahe brought before, which included the layout design drawings of a smart phone. It was completely different from what her brother had in his hand, so she helped her brother comfort Huahe.

Dr. Garu on the screen did not show any dissatisfaction or resentment, and still had a smile on his face.

People say that girls are hard to keep when they grow up, and their elbows always tend to be outward-looking. He used to think so too.

Ever since Meizhen and Huahe confirmed their relationship, every time Dr. Bo chats with his sister, he can't help but talk about Huahe. Every time he opens his mouth, he talks about how great Huahe is.

But today, the results of his hard work were denied by his brother-in-law in just a few words, but his sister stood firmly on his side.

It seems that the sister has not forgotten her brother just because she has a man. Dr. Garu didn't say it, but he was satisfied in his heart, so he patiently explained to Huahe.

"Hua He, listen to me first. What I have in my hand is not the prototype of the smart phone in the data, but a derivative product made by our institute based on the data and existing technology.

The information you gave us was very detailed, even the appearance of the smart phone had corresponding renderings. When we were making it, we could say that we were copying homework based on the answers.

To put it bluntly, following your information is the shortest shortcut. Doing anything more would be superfluous. We shouldn't ask for trouble.

However, it does not mean that we can immediately make a mature product with your information. We encountered some difficulties during the production process, mainly problems with technology and equipment.

Many parts of smartphones need to be made with special machines. Our two prototypes were made entirely by hand, which was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also extremely costly. When we passed the tests and were ready to go into production, we had to face more troubles.

Let me give you an example. The space in a mobile phone is limited. In order to ensure its lightness, we have to shrink various parts during the production process. The most difficult parts to make are the CPU, motherboard, cables and memory sticks, especially the CPU, which even stumped our veteran craftsmen.

Therefore, our institute relied on existing technology to come up with this weird thing. It is based on a computer and uses some designs from the materials, allowing it to be touch-controlled and connected to various external devices.

Its back cover is detachable. We have specially designed a back cover with a small keyboard for it. Under the keyboard are two sets of dual batteries, which can be used as an external power source to extend the battery life.

From the perspective of product positioning, this thing is just a smaller laptop, and there is still a big gap between it and a real smartphone, but it is the best product we can make at present."

Dr. Garu held the device horizontally in his hand and rubbed it upwards gently, and the screen and back cover slid up and down. He showed it to Hua He and Mei Zhen, and the smile on his face had disappeared.

"Alas, our foundation is still too poor. The synthetic aperture radar satellites, high-frequency communication satellites, and smart phones mentioned in your information are not things that can be realized in a short period of time.

But these data also bring us more technical accumulation, allowing us to quickly make up for the weaknesses in other fields. I believe that in the near future, our technological level will inevitably usher in explosive growth. "

After hearing Dr. Garu's explanation and thinking about it in reality, Hua He felt relieved that the doctor did have many difficulties.

"Okay, I was impatient and didn't consider the reality. Since the doctor knows the situation, I won't say anything more. I hope you can produce results as soon as possible."

Dr. Garu smiled and nodded, then began to show Hua He and Mi Zhen the mini laptop in his hand.

Although it seems to have rich functions, it is still in a position of being inferior to the best but better than the worst due to various constraints.

Compared with ordinary mobile phones, this thing has more functions, but it is too large and inconvenient to carry.

Compared with a laptop, it is much smaller, but its functionality is lacking.

What’s surprising is that this weird thing can actually make phone calls. Just imagine how people around you would look at you if you put such a big thing on your face while answering the phone?

"Eh~ How weird..."

Dr. Garu was demonstrating the equipment with great interest when he suddenly heard Hua He say this. He stopped explaining and Mei Zhen also looked at Hua He in confusion.

"What's wrong, Hua He? What's weird? Do you think something is wrong?"

Meizhen asked Huahe in a low voice, and Huahe pursed his lips and shook his head.

"Nothing, I was just thinking, would it be too much to use this 'big thing' to make a phone call, hehe..."

Dr. Garu lowered his head and thought about it. He felt that what Hua He said made sense. It was indeed that they had not considered enough and had not done enough in this regard.

"Hmm... Hua He's a good suggestion. I'll talk to my colleagues about it and improve the next batch of equipment, adding matching wired or wireless headphones, so that it won't be so abrupt when answering or making calls."

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Meizhen's mind, and she immediately told Dr. Garu what was in her mind.

"Brother, I remember you said that the terminal and repeater in the equipment you made for us are difficult to manufacture. Can we use this thing as a portable terminal?"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that..."

Dr. Garu clapped his hands and suddenly felt as if something had suddenly clicked in his mind. He immediately picked up the notebook and started writing.
