Chapter 637： Cook's second visit

【Scientific Research Project: MR Smart Glasses】

【Researchers: 189】

[Research progress: 15%]

【Required time: 1 year and 2 days in November】

Seeing the time it took, Chen Hao was really surprised.

"The progress bar is almost 20%."

The MR smart glasses project is completely incomparable with the optical core project. The former is supported by two young scholars, Zhu Chen and Jin Zhizhi, not to mention that Professor Jin joined later.

The Optical Core Research Center brings together 80% of the top chip talents in China, and there are more than a dozen Daniels, such as Professor Ren Hong of the University of Science and Technology, Professor Chen Ping of (former) Zhejiang University, and Professor Ruan Jianchang of Fudan University. A chip team.

Chen Hao patted his head and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten a certain institution, "Uh, there is almost another research institute overseas."

When I went to the United States before, I settled the acquisition of Intel's AR business, and bought a piece of white garbage by the way. I forgot its name, but it's not worth mentioning anyway.

All that remains is to convert the office building acquired by the Rockefeller family into the Guanghua Research Institute and house researchers from Intel's AR business.

No wonder it's progressing well.

"I have been taking care of the optical core before, and I didn't notice that the MR smart glasses project has progressed so much."

Don't think that the progress in the first half of the year is only 15%, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the big names in this field are all abroad.

When Chen Hao noticed the time, he couldn't help laughing and said, "This time is quite a coincidence."

The military order Zhu Chen just issued is guaranteed to be completed within two years. Even without Chen Hao's involvement, the MR smart glasses can be completed within two years.

As for the adaptation of the optical core to the MR smart glasses, there is no problem at all. It is only necessary to develop a separate version to adapt it. Anyway, it is a UISC architecture, which does not take much time.

Thinking of this, he who was going to go back to the office suddenly diverted to the Optical Core Research Center.

Anyway, there's still some time before 3 pm, so I'm not in a hurry to go back to the office.

...

Beijing time 12:32.

A flight from San Francisco, USA landed at Heron Island Gaoqi Airport.

After getting off the plane, Cook and his assistant Rogers got on the shuttle bus exclusive to the first class cabin.

On the shuttle bus, Cook glanced at his watch and breathed a sigh of relief.

As the richest group of people in the world, they naturally own private jets. If they are only traveling temporarily, or if they are international, the approval to go will take a lot of time.

It's better than buying a plane ticket.

The assistant next to him, Rogers, noticed his boss's actions, and quickly said, "Boss, Guanghua said that they will send a car to pick up the plane. It should be at the exit now."

"The straight-line distance from the airport to Guanghua University is not far, and it should be no problem within the first half an hour."

People like Cook normally stay in top luxury hotels when they are outside, but considering the time issue, Cook stayed in the Guanghua Hotel on the campus of Guanghua University for this temporary visit to China...

Just stay for one night and leave tomorrow.

Cook was silent, he was still thinking about the afternoon conversation with Chen Hao.

The situation is still the same as the previous photonic screen, Guanghua can lack a partner of Apple, but Apple cannot do without the technical support of Guanghua.

No way, the monopoly on high-end technology is so domineering.

There was a bit of trouble when picking up the plane. The staff of Guanghua University held a big sign with the Chinese language of [Apple CEO Cook] on it, and the corresponding English below.

"Apple's Cook is coming to Heron Island?"

Many people who noticed the pick-up card stopped to take photos, which spread around the Ludao circle in a short time, and even related Weibo appeared, and the mobile phone circle and digital circle also quickly got the news.

Why did Cook come to Heron Island?

There is no relevant news about visiting China.

Thinking of the evening news report last night, the purpose of the other party's visit can basically be locked.

A man in a plaid shirt holding a selfie stick greeted him.

"Mr. Cook, may I ask if you came to Heron Island this time for the optical core?"

Rogers took two steps forward to stop the other party when he wanted to come up.

"I'm sorry, I won't be interviewed in private time." Rogers said in Chinese.

"It's not an interview, I'm just asking a few questions." The man in the plaid shirt made a sophistry, trying to pass the blond man in front of him, but Cook walked away quickly under the guidance of the pick-up staff.

Not to mention the security of the airport also gathered.

After waiting in the car, Cook suddenly said to Rogers beside him, "Rogers, arrange for me to have a Chinese teacher as soon as possible when you go back."

Rogers glanced at Cook, who had closed his eyes and fell asleep, so he had to answer:

"Okay, boss."

Cook is also helpless. Although he has attached great importance to the Chinese market in the past, he will not go to a place to learn Chinese.

But now, mastering Chinese is still very necessary.

Because he had an inexplicable hunch that he might come to China in the future, no, to be precise, the chance to come to Ludao would not be less.

14:41.

Guanghua University, President's Office.

"Cook has arrived?" Chen Hao's face was helpless, "Then let them in."

The appointment was at 3 pm, but Cook arrived so early.

Door open.

Cook, who was wearing a hand-made custom suit, walked in and stretched out a hand very Chinese.

"Professor Chen, we meet again."

"Welcome to Ludao." Chen Hao smiled and shook hands.

Cook is not very good at greeting, but said straight to the point: "I visited Guanghua University this time because I hope that Apple can reach an all-round strategic partnership with Guanghua, and I also want to talk about the cooperation of Guanghua."

"If Apple's mobile phone is equipped with an optical core, what about your A-series chips?" Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and asked.

Cook was not surprised and said calmly: "It will stop production."

"We at Apple have always emphasized the ultimate experience brought by technology products. The combination of a breakthrough product like the optical core and an Apple mobile phone will be the best match."

Chen Hao smiled lightly, without denying, "I think there is still plenty of time. Would Mr. Cook go to the Optical Core Research Center to see the finished optical core?"

"I'm happy." Cook readily agreed, how could he refuse such a good opportunity to observe the optical core.

Cook entered the Optical Core Research Center with Chen Hao. As for assistant Rogers, he could only wait outside the center.

in the laboratory.

Cook looked around and found no shadow of the optical core.

At this time, Chen Hao took down two mobile phones from the experimental bench and handed one of them to Cook.

"This is your Apple 12Promax model phone, which was produced in March this year. You can operate it for a few minutes first."

Then, Chen Hao played with another mobile phone by himself.

Cook didn't doubt it either. After taking the phone, he first checked the fuselage. Gideon identified it as a real phone, not an official replacement or official remake.

As for the operating experience.

Cook was confused.

This is an ordinary apple is no different from the one he uses for himself.

"Professor Chen, what does this mean?" Cook asked puzzled.

Chen Hao smiled and gave the phone in his hand to the other party, "Try this phone again."

Cook didn't know what medicine was sold in Chen Hao's gourd, and his intuition told him that this phone was not simple.

Even... it may be equipped with an optical core!

The purpose is obvious.

Cook did not observe the appearance, but operated and tested the phone from several aspects.

The more the test, the more intense the inner unease.

He swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and his head was extraordinarily clear at this moment.

"Professor Chen, the chip used in this mobile phone should be the optical core, right?"
