"Apple's tradition should be innovation, advancement, and providing customers with better products instead of sticking to conventions." Isabel is very direct.
Cook was not emotionally affected by the other party's offensive language: "Isabel, you need to calm down."
"The problem is that iPhone 13 has completed CDCP in December last year, and a series of related matters such as the overall product architecture, supplier resource assessment, and product form have been determined."
"Even if the brain-computer connection is required, we can still put it on iPhone 14."
CDCP is the conceptual decision-making and review stage of mobile phone finalization, which mainly determines whether the product will be approved as a project and matters related to the project approval.
Isabel: "It's only been less than ten days, hasn't it?"
"We have enough time to modify the overall product architecture plan of iPhone 13 now."
Cook raised another question: "Then our iPhone 13 series in Greater China is completely different from the iPhone 13 series in other regions."
"It's equivalent to preparing a completely different iPhone 13 series for Greater China."
"From the design drawings to the internal structure of the mobile phone to the components, the complete machine, and the motherboard, everything must be customized individually."
"Have you ever thought about the added cost?"
"It's equivalent to completing the research and development functions of two mobile phones next year."
Isabel asked rhetorically: "Have you ever used a brain-computer connection device?"
Cook's expression finally changed, and his face was filled with disbelief:
"It's an incredible invention, it seems to be able to completely recognize which button my brain wants to press."
"Our engineers have created a beta version of a brain-computer connected iPhone. I admit that it is a pleasure to directly operate the iPhone with your brain, which completely frees your hands."
"I have to admit that China has made great progress in technological innovation. This brain-computer connection product is the best proof of China's technological progress."
"Our dear customers will see brain-computer connected iPhones in the near future."
"This time will depend on when Kechuang Biotech or other brain-computer connection R&D companies develop brain-computer connection devices with a wider range of applications."
Isabel: “You also know how much brain-computer connection improves the user experience.”
"The more critical point is that brain-computer connection is the best match with folding screen mobile phones. I can't believe the impact that Samsung and Huawei's folding screen mobile phones have with brain-computer connection, which will have an impact on Apple's high-end market."
Folding screens are a perfect match for brain-computer connection. Most current folding screens rely on pens to make up for the situation that the hand cannot reach. With the brain-computer connection device, people free their hands.
The advantages of folding screen mobile phones as mobile phones dedicated to reading and working are fully reflected.
"We cannot accept that in the era of brain-computer connection, the market will be vacated for rival brands to occupy."
"You can ask the laboratory to build a brain-computer-connected mobile phone with a folding screen. In the Chinese market next year, only the most die-hard fans may stay."
"If you insist not to use brain-computer connection technology on iPhone13 or even iPhone14."
"Originally we had an advantage in making the brain-computer connection device in the form of AirPods."
"The new iPhones, iPads and Macs can all be equipped with brain-computer connection chips, so users only need one brain-computer connection device to control all Apple products through their brains."
"How attractive that is to users."
"But now we have to watch Samsung and Huawei take away our market. Greater China is Apple's largest market besides Europe and the United States."
"We can definitely develop a brain-computer connected iPhone for Greater China as a preview for our future launch of a brain-computer connected mobile phone for the world."
Cook mused: "Let me think about it!"
...
The climate of the Lion City is completely different from that of Suzhou. You cannot expect the subtropical monsoon ocean climate to be similar to the tropical rainforest climate.
However, the two have a common feature, that is, there is a lot of rain, but in the Lion City, it rains intermittently, which is intense and short-lived.
In Suzhou, it often rains continuously and continuously for many days.
It was around seven o'clock in the evening in Lion City, and there was a sudden storm outside.
Raindrops hit the glass curtain wall of the Kechuang Biotech Lion City R&D Center building, and Zheng Li seemed to be shielded from outside perception.
Zheng Li is using optimized precision gene editing technology to precisely edit gene fragments.
The optimized precision gene editing technology injects gene editing tools into one of the blastomeres of mammalian fertilized eggs when they develop to the two-cell stage.
This results in two blastomeres with theoretically identical DNA from the same fertilized egg forming a contrasting relationship with each other, eliminating possible individual differences.
But if this is the case, there is still not enough DNA, because the DNA content in a single blastomere is very small, and the amount is not enough for sequencing analysis.
Then, by injecting gene editing tools, a special method is used to make the blastomere and its descendant cells fluoresce.
This early embryo is then implanted directly into the mother mouse's uterus and allowed to develop into a mouse fetus.
When the mouse fetus grows to a sufficient size, the entire fetus is directly digested into a large number of single cells, and then the difference in fluorescence is used to distinguish the offspring of the blastomeres injected with the gene editing tool from the control blastomeres, thus obtaining two A pile of cells equivalent to almost half of the total cell volume of a mouse fetus. Each pile of cells contains hundreds of millions of DNA molecules. Simply extracting all of them is enough for sequencing analysis, thereby bypassing in vitro amplification. steps, and the problem of amplification noise is also solved.
(Note: The above method comes from an article published in "Science" by the Institute of Neurology, Chinese Academy of Sciences: Cytosine base editor generates substantial off-target single-nucleotide variants in mouse embryos)
Recently, Zheng Li has consumed more than 50 adult experimental monkeys, and countless white mice and immature monkeys.
Zheng Li was grateful that when he was in the Mage Alliance, in addition to his main research field, he also dabbled in other fields of knowledge and spent a lot of energy on absorbing knowledge and thinking.
The Mage Alliance has no concept of reading. They all directly download the required information from the Magic Web into their brains.
Data will be exchanged between mage organizations, but it will be encrypted. Only after paying enough remuneration can you see the content you want to see.
Of course, some basic knowledge is very low-cost and can be exchanged for materials. High-end knowledge can only be exchanged for materials, or by selling one's own labor force.
Zheng Li has been making steady progress towards his goal. The magic brain cultivated through gene editing technology is getting closer and closer to the effect he wants.
The rejection response injected into the embryos of experimental female monkeys also became weaker and weaker.
Zheng Li was in a good mood. The time to restore his spellcasting ability was just around the corner. A mage without the ability to cast spells always felt insecure.
