"We've completely solved the screen problem through..."
The professor then began describing the entire development process, especially the solution they had devised for the screen.
It was clear that when it came to professional matters, he was still highly capable.
After the professor finished explaining, he sought permission, picked up the telephone on Lin Qi's desk, and dialed a number.
"This is the signal station five kilometers away. After receiving the call, it will transmit a signal. We can manually add some content for it to display."
Lin Qi nodded. He was actually more familiar with this thing than the professor—though he knew how to use it, not how to manufacture it.
"Add a message with '110.'"
The professor nodded and relayed the request. About twenty seconds later, the palm-sized machine in Lin Qi's hand suddenly began to vibrate.
As the buzzer let out a somewhat shrill sound, the green screen soon displayed the text message "110."
Seeing this, the corners of Lin Qi's mouth lifted slightly. "Will it be easy to solve the production-process problems for this thing?"
Many people might not understand that for a research institute or laboratory, producing a prototype was only the first step toward bringing an entire product to market.
At least, the prototype had to be theoretically viable and successfully manufacturable. But the truly crucial part was not that—it was the production process that followed.
In the relevant documents for many products, the laboratory prototypes would include phrases such as "under laboratory manufacturing conditions" or "for laboratory use only."
This meant that the production and functions of these prototypes were not the same as those of the final products!
Throughout the development of technology, many things had appeared in laboratories, only to remain sealed away there in the end.
That was because, at
