Chapter 368 Shocking Release
Following Li Yang's signal, an engineer from Yan country picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.
After a moment, a clear call was heard from the loudspeaker on site.
"Hello, test, test, is the signal clear?" The engineer's voice echoed in the conference room. The call quality was so high that the questioning voices in the audience suddenly stopped.
"The signal is clear and the call is stable." The voice on the other end of the microphone was also clearly audible, and the entire conference hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
For a moment, everyone's eyes widened, staring at the mobile phone in disbelief.
Those foreign experts and reporters who originally had disdain on their faces could only stare blankly at everything in front of them. Their expressions gradually changed from contempt to shock, and some even showed a trace of panic on their faces.
"This is impossible..." an expert muttered to himself, the shock in his eyes becoming more and more intense, "How could they solve these technical problems so quickly?"
"We spent so many years..." Another expert shook his head, as if he had lost all his strength. He leaned softly on the back of his chair, his face full of disbelief.
The air in the conference hall seemed to be frozen. The foreign journalists' fingers were stiff on the shutter of the camera, staring blankly at the mobile phone.
No one made any more mocking sounds, because the clear voice of the conversation had completely shattered the fantasy in their hearts.
At the same time, in a corner of the audience, a foreign intelligence officer in a black suit was staring at Li Yang on the stage, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. He rubbed his fingers in his pockets nervously, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
"Is this... is this true?" He speculated in his heart, a layer of cold sweat seeping out of his forehead. If Yan Country really made a breakthrough in communication technology, then their intelligence work would have completely failed.
Just when everyone was still in shock, Li Yang spoke again: "Dear guests, in order to further demonstrate the performance of our equipment, we will conduct a simulated remote call."
The discussion in the audience started again, but this time it was full of tension. Everyone knew that long-distance calls were the real test for this kind of equipment.
Li Yang smiled and signaled the staff to start the equipment. A moment later, a map appeared on the screen, marking a call route - from the capital of Yan State to a remote mountainous area.
"Now, let's see how this device performs in a long-distance call." Li Yang's voice was calm and confident, as if he had already determined the result.
As the signal was connected, the entire venue fell into silence again. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen, and an inexplicable sense of tension surged in their hearts.
"Hello, this is a tester in the mountains. The signal is clear and the call is normal." The call quality displayed on the screen was almost flawless, with clear and stable sound.
The foreign journalists in the audience could no longer hold back and began to discuss in low voices. The experts who had originally looked contemptuous now looked gloomy, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness in their eyes.
"How...how is this possible?" A Western expert covered his forehead with his hands, his face pale. "How could they solve so many technical problems in such a short time?"
"They are ahead of us..." another expert murmured in a low voice, his eyes full of loss and shock.
In the back row of the conference hall, a foreign intelligence officer tightly grasped his notebook, his face full of anxiety and anger. He knew that the success of this press conference meant a complete failure in their intelligence work, and it also meant that Yan Country had taken the lead in the world in the field of communication technology.
"Damn it! They actually got there first!" He cursed in his mind, cold sweat oozing out of his forehead.
The atmosphere at the press conference suddenly became tense. The original voices of doubt and disdain disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by a depressing silence and anxiety.
……
After the press conference, Yan Country’s first mobile phone caused a sensation internationally.
Western countries, especially the United States, feel unprecedented pressure and urgency in the face of this unexpected technological breakthrough.
The moment the news reached the United States, the Pentagon and Wall Street entered a state of emergency almost at the same time.
Defense Secretary McNamara had a gloomy face and the report paper in his hand was almost crumpled by him.
This is not just a technological competition, but also a life-and-death struggle that concerns the country's scientific and technological and economic lifelines.
"We must act immediately!" McNamara slammed the table, his voice echoing in the conference room, "We can't let Yan Country occupy the technological high ground! Let them seize the initiative in the global communications market!"
The senior officials attending the meeting nodded their heads with solemn expressions. The scientists and business giants of the United States were quickly called together to discuss countermeasures overnight. In the end, they decided to launch an emergency plan: speed up the development of mobile phones and frantically apply for various related patents, trying to restrict the development of Yan's communication technology through legal means.
At the same time, the technology giants in the United States also began to work overtime, racing against time to perfect the design of the mobile phone, trying to launch their own products in the shortest time possible to seize market share.
However, behind this seemingly tense and fierce R&D competition, Li Yang had already seen through his opponent's actions and sneered in his heart.
In fact, Li Yang had no intention of mass-producing mobile phones from the beginning.
As a time traveler, he is well aware of the disadvantages of mobile phones: large size, heavy weight and high cost. Although it can achieve breakthroughs in communication technology at present, in the long run, this device is destined not to become mainstream.
Developing the mobile phone was just a transitional product for Li Yang to practice and accumulate experience.
Li Yang stood in front of the laboratory window, looking at the busy city scene outside, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
For him, this press conference was like a smoke bomb thrown at the United States, the purpose of which was to make the opponent mistakenly believe that the United States would vigorously develop this communication equipment, and then invest a lot of resources to compete.
In fact, Li Yang’s real goal was to develop a more advanced small communication device suitable for general use - Xiaolingtong.
The concept of Xiaolingtong has already taken shape in Li Yang's mind.
Compared with bulky mobile phones, Xiaolingtong has the advantages of portability, low cost and stable signal, and is more suitable for daily use by ordinary users.
And relying on Yan's strong foundation in the chip industry, Li Yang is confident that he can lower the cost of Xiaolingtong and quickly capture the market.
"Let those companies in the United States work hard to produce mobile phones," Li Yang sneered in his heart, "When they find that no one is interested in the market, it will be too late."
Li Yang began to focus his energy on the research and development of Xiaolingtong.
The top experts in the field of communications in Yan State were convened for several closed-door meetings, during which the design concept and technical route of Xiaolingtong were elaborated in detail.
In the conference room, Li Yang's voice was sonorous and powerful, his eyes were bright, "The goal of Xiaolingtong is to be smaller, lighter and more practical than the big brother. We want it to become everyone's pocket communication tool in the future."
The experts gathered in front of a huge design drawing, carefully studying the concept proposed by Li Yang. They looked at the simple and futuristic design on the drawing, and their eyes were shining with excitement.
"We need to use the latest chip technology," Li Yang pointed to the core processing module on the design drawing. "This chip must be small enough and have powerful signal processing capabilities."
"As for the battery, it must be lightweight and have a long battery life," another expert said. "We can consider using the latest lithium battery technology."
"Antenna design is also key," Li Yang continued, "to ensure that the signal remains stable in a variety of complex environments. We can refer to the experience of previous mobile phones, but we must optimize it."
For a while, discussions were ongoing in the conference room. Everyone was inspired by the blueprint drawn by Li Yang and put forward their opinions and suggestions one by one.
In the following months, Li Yang led the team to invest in the development of Xiaolingtong. They worked day and night, constantly conducting experiments and optimization. Li Yang knew that the development of Xiaolingtong was not only a technical project, but also a battle for time and market.
"We must complete the development and testing of the PHS before the United States launches its large-scale mobile phones," Li Yang said firmly at a meeting. "Once our PHS is launched, those mobile phones in the United States will become useless."
Li Yang's plan was to first let the United States invest heavily in the production of mobile phones to occupy the market high ground, while the Yan country would quietly advance the research and development of PHS behind the scenes.
When the United States' mass-produced mobile phones begin to enter the market, Yan's PHS will emerge with lower prices and better performance, quickly seize the market, and make the United States' technology and financial investment go to waste.
"We'll make them pay for their arrogance," Li Yang sneered. "When they realize we've led them into a dead end, it will be too late."
……
Under Li Yang's leadership, the research and development of Xiaolingtong was in full swing. In the laboratory, engineers were busy conducting various experiments, and technicians were constantly adjusting and testing various parts of the equipment.
