Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Drone testing ground.

Zhang Xiaoxue nervously operated the rotary-wing drone to take off.

"What if it suddenly falls down?"

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "No, it has flight control software, so it's not that easy to crash."

"But I'm still worried it will fall down."

Zhang Xiaoxue's face flushed red with nervousness, and her palms were sweating.

Her beautiful eyes widened, staring intently at the screen.

I feel even more nervous than when I first went to driving school for practice.

"Fly with confidence. If it suddenly falls down, it's actually a good thing!"

Zhao Ruilong offered words of comfort in a calm tone.

"Huh? Falling down is actually a good thing? Why?"

"Doesn't that just prove that this drone still has problems that need to be optimized and improved?"

"Impossible, right? Didn't you say you tested it repeatedly?"

"Yes, so what are you worried about? Speed ​​it up, fly higher and farther, and you'll know how fun it is and better understand its functions and uses."

"Okay, let me try!"

Zhang Xiaoxue gently bit her red lips and slowly tried to speed up.

She soon discovered that operating the drone was extremely simple.

Especially on the ground control console, looking at the screen and operating the controller is simpler than playing a racing game.

When she flew the drone hundreds of meters above the ground and slowly moved it forward, she immediately thought of aerial photography.

Previously, their cultural tourism channel conducted aerial photography to promote famous scenic spots in Linjiang Province.

The cost of leasing the helicopters alone amounted to several million.

Not to mention the additional equipment rental and personnel expenses.

And now.

This quadcopter drone was developed by Zhao Ruilong's team.

You can take stable and high-quality aerial photos without complicated operations or too many instruments and equipment.

If the drone's payload were increased, a higher-definition camera could be added.

Then there's absolutely no need to spend huge sums of money leasing helicopters for aerial photography.

The production cost of the program will be significantly reduced.

of course.

This drone is so simple, easy to use, and not too expensive.

Besides aerial photography, Zhang Xiaoxue quickly came up with many other uses for it.

For those who love road trips, drones can be used to capture beautiful scenery and record precious moments...

Law enforcement agencies can use it for reconnaissance and patrols, such as detecting fires and disasters, and carrying out patrol and guard duties.

Adding communication relay equipment can temporarily act as a communication base station for a large area, ensuring uninterrupted communication...

Adding lighting equipment can provide emergency illumination, while adding weapons and equipment can enable reconnaissance of enemy positions and launch precision strikes...

The drone hasn't been tested for very long yet.

Zhang Xiaoxue had already thought of many uses for it.

And as a highly educated female PhD.

Even though she studied humanities from high school onwards.

She quickly associated the wide range of uses with the remarkable technology.

Drones may look small, but they actually contain a lot of high technology.

To fly smoothly in air with variable air currents, the flight control software must be powerful enough.

To fly fast and for a long time, the hardware, such as the frame, rotor, motor, battery, gimbal, and camera, must be made sophisticated and easy to use.

To accurately control a drone without interference or delay in a complex electromagnetic environment and to receive the transmitted signals, the radio communication technology must be advanced and reliable enough.

Behind all these advanced technologies, there is clearly no shortage of a strong R&D team and a sufficiently large industrial system.

After test-flying and playing with the drone, Zhang Xiaoxue was completely convinced that Zhao Ruilong could indeed lead the team to develop a sophisticated and easy-to-use MP3 player.

However, the high-tech products that surprised her were clearly not limited to drones.

The computer lab truly opened her eyes to new possibilities.

Tablet computers, desktop computers, laptop computers, graphics workstations, industrial control computers...

This is the first time in my life I've learned that computers can be classified in many different ways based on their functions and uses.

Under Zhao Ruilong's explanation, she learned for the first time that in addition to the importance of hardware, the operating system and application software are also crucial.

As for hardware devices, there are too many to list.

Monitor, motherboard, processor, graphics card, power supply...

You wouldn't know unless you asked, and what you found out was quite surprising.

Even though Zhao Ruilong collaborated with many domestic organizations to develop the technology.

Surprisingly, a significant portion of our hardware technology lags far behind that of foreign countries, forcing us to import it.

And as for operating systems and application software, it goes without saying.

They mostly utilize foreign technical architectures and development software for secondary development.

Fortunately, Zhao Ruilong provided substantial investment and guidance.

Taking advantage of the bursting of the dot-com bubble in the United States, which brought the industry to a standstill.

The software industry in China is developing very rapidly.

Especially in fields such as online social networking, video games, and industrial design, progress has been made by leaps and bounds.

On Zhao Ruilong's recommendation, Zhang Xiaoxue tried out a dance game that was still in the closed beta stage, but she couldn't stop playing it as soon as she started.

To the beat of the music, they tap on the keyboard, performing a variety of dazzling dance moves...

It may seem like a silly game, but it's really addictive once you start playing it.

Especially slamming down the spacebar with a loud "smack" is incredibly stress-relieving.

After playing for only a short time, Zhang Xiaoxue had a premonition that once the game was released, it would be very popular among young girls.

of course.

Those large-scale games such as CrossFire, Warcraft III, and Underground Warrior.

It's too brain-intensive and difficult to operate for girls, but boys will definitely love it.

time flies.

Zhang Xiaoxue was having a blast playing with these novel and fun high-tech products.

Even though many products are still in the research and development stage and have not yet been finalized.

Moreover, it was developed in collaboration with Huilong Electronics and numerous domestic organizations.

Some products also use a lot of foreign technology and components.

But these technological products with unique ideas and novel functions still greatly impressed Zhang Xiaoxue.

I believe that any product launched would achieve good sales.

Especially those fun video games, they will definitely fascinate many young people.

When Zhang Xiaoxue received the last product, she didn't find anything particularly special about it.

Because before this, she had already tried out and tested many electronic products.

I listened to a lot of songs last night using the MP3 player that's about to be released.

So even though the phone she received was exquisitely crafted and had a delicate feel, it didn't make her feel particularly happy.

It's like having eaten a lot of delicacies and being stuffed.

Finally, a beautifully presented dish was served, but I naturally wasn't very interested.

"What's so special about this phone?"

Zhang Xiaoxue asked with some confusion.

"It comes pre-installed with a lot of software and can be operated with a stylus."

As Zhao Ruilong spoke, he picked up another phone of the same model to demonstrate.

"Operate with a stylus? That's no different from the tablet you showed before, is it?"

"In comparison, I think the kind of screen that can be operated directly by touching with your fingers is more advanced and easier to use!"

Zhang Xiaoxue feels that she is now experiencing a bit of 'aesthetic fatigue'.

I've lost much of my interest in this phone.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ruilong immediately said:

"Didn't you notice that this phone has two cameras?"

Zhang Xiaoxue frowned and examined it closely.

"Oh, right, besides the big one at the back, there seems to be a small one at the front as well."

"So, this phone has photo and video recording capabilities?"

Zhao Ruilong nodded emphatically.

"That's right, we equipped it with a 30-pixel rear camera and a 10-pixel front camera..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaoxue chuckled.

"Dual cameras, front and rear, that's interesting!"

"But I remember that phones that can take photos and videos already existed last year, right?"

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "Yes, it has one. It was developed and launched by a company in Nanhan, but it only has one camera and the resolution is only 11 pixels."

"Furthermore, and most importantly, our phone has features like autofocus, beauty filters, and built-in photo editing software..."

As he spoke, Zhao Ruilong turned on his phone's camera and demonstrated it to Zhang Xiaoxue.

Zhang Xiaoxue was initially nonchalant, thinking there was nothing special about it.

However, when she saw Zhao Ruilong, she took a picture of the project team leader who was accompanying him.

After a simple treatment, it changed drastically, leaving everyone completely bewildered.

"No...no?"

"Isn't Team Leader Li's skin quite dark? And he also has some pimples."

"How come the photos show my skin looking so smooth and delicate, with absolutely no pimples or wrinkles?"

As Zhang Xiaoxue spoke, she held up a photo on her phone and compared it with the group leader himself.

His facial features didn't change drastically, but he immediately looked much younger and more handsome.

"This is the beauty filter function!"

"We processed the photos using some special algorithms."

"Of course, this is just a simple beautification. Here, let me show you a more awesome feature!"

Zhao Ruilong gave the team leader a look, and the latter immediately took a few steps back.

After moving a little further away, Zhao Ruilong casually took a photo.

Then he opened the Meitu app and began to demonstrate, as if by magic, what "divine craftsmanship" special effects technology meant.

Skin whitening, face slimming, leg lengthening...

With just a few simple processing steps, the team leader's photo was completely transformed.

The person standing right in front of me is not tall, has a square face, and is somewhat short and stout.

In addition, he wears thick glasses for nearsightedness.

He looked every bit the typical engineering and technical guy.

However, after the photo was edited with beauty filters, it turned into a tall, handsome, and young man.

"Oh my god!"

"Is...is this really him?"

Zhang Xiaoxue was shocked, feeling as if she had witnessed a close-up magic performance.

A middle-aged man whose appearance is hardly that of a handsome man.

After Zhao Ruilong's treatment, while I wouldn't say he looks incredibly handsome, his image and temperament have definitely undergone a major transformation.

Zhang Xiaoxue's surprised reaction was naturally within Zhao Ruilong's expectations.

Different worlds exist in different dimensions, but human nature remains the same.

In the world before Zhao Ruilong traveled through time.

The reason why smartphones have become so popular and are so loved by young people is that they have become so widespread.

Besides being convenient and fun, smartphones also have the functions of taking photos and videos, as well as image editing.

This is especially true for women who like to share their lives but also suffer from anxiety about their appearance and body shape.

Naturally, I especially like smartphones with high pixel counts, good photo quality, and easy beauty enhancement features.

When buying smartphones, guys care a lot about technical details such as screen resolution, processor smoothness, and whether games will lag or overheat.

And what about the girls?

Most people who choose smartphones prioritize camera and video recording capabilities.

For them, whether a phone can play demanding games is not important; the most important thing is whether it can take good photos.

Think about it, how many girls go to great lengths to pose for photos in order to wow their friends on social media, and how much time they spend editing and photoshopping them afterward.

Every photo they post on social media is a labor of love, the result of their hard work and dedication.

Even with excessive beautification and retouching, the photos no longer look like the real person.

But what does it matter?

As long as it's pretty and good-looking, that's fine.

and so……

Zhao Ruilong, who traveled from another time, certainly knew how to win over female consumers.

Mobile phones must pay special attention to photo and video recording functions as well as image editing features.

If these two functions are done well...

The 'sisters' alone are enough to make the mobile phones they developed a hit and sell like hotcakes.

This is not.

Zhang Xiaoxue in front of me was clearly already intoxicated.

As if afraid of cheating, I took a picture myself and then tried to process it with a photo editing app.

Soon, she let out a heartfelt exclamation.

"Oh my God!"

"This software is so powerful!"

"Who came up with this idea?"

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "Of course it's me!"

"you?"

Zhang Xiaoxue asked, unable to hide her surprise:

"I can understand equipping a phone with front and rear dual cameras, so that it's convenient to take photos and videos anytime, anywhere."

"But how did you come up with the idea of ​​developing software specifically for processing photos, and making it so easy to use?"

Looking at Zhang Xiaoxue, whose expression was excited and whose face was already flushed, Zhao Ruilong smiled leisurely:

"Of course, it's because the vast majority of people in this world have ordinary looks and figures; beauties and handsome men are, after all, a very small minority."

"But everyone has a desire to be beautiful, but most people don't have enough money or courage to get plastic surgery, and besides, plastic surgery itself carries risks."

"So I thought, could I create a simple and easy-to-use software that allows everyone to easily edit photos, make themselves look better, and satisfy their desire for beauty!"

Zhang Xiaoxue gave a thumbs up.

"Wow! You're absolutely amazing! This idea is absolutely brilliant!"

"The photos are already clear enough, and then you can use photo editing apps to retouch them. This is a killer feature for girls who love taking pictures!"

"I reckon that once your phone is released, countless women who love beauty will buy it just for its photography and photo editing features!"

Zhao Ruilong chuckled and said, "Yes, that's why I invested in Xunteng Technology in advance and had them create QQ Space according to my ideas."

"With a place to share and show off, and the ability to upload processed photos directly on mobile QQ, people will be more willing to buy!"

"..."

Zhang Xiaoxue was stunned.

The idea of ​​installing dual cameras and photo editing software was ingenious enough to amaze Zhang Xiaoxue.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruilong actually knew to plan ahead, even deciding in advance where the girls should send the photos.

On second thought, it's true that there needs to be a place where I can share pictures.

Otherwise, what's the point of carefully taking and processing photos if we just keep them in an album for our own enjoyment?

With the increasing popularity of online social networking, young people can share pictures on QQ Space, which naturally creates huge demand.

Especially for celebrities who want to attract the opposite sex, they would probably sell their possessions to buy this phone.

Otherwise, how can one become a fashion trendsetter? How can one attract the attention of the opposite sex?

At this moment, the project leader suddenly asked with a smile:

"Ms. Zhang, our phone also supports group photos with automatic focus."

"How about I take a photo of you and Mr. Zhao together to test this feature?"

Zhang Xiaoxue nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Alright, I'd like to see just how advanced this phone really is!"

After saying that, Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't help but stand next to Zhao Ruilong.

With a snapping sound.

A happy and joyful smile, perfectly captured in that instant...
