MediaTek still thinks Stardust Technology's order of 2 million chips is a bit small, and even wants to sell more, but they also know that it is good for a "small factory" like Stardust Technology to get so much.
The brand power has not been formed, and achieving such results by relying on the quality and service of off-the-shelf products is already a miracle in the eyes of some senior executives of MediaTek. Now it depends on whether Stardust Technology can continue the miracle.
After confirming the order, Wang Jinli immediately led his team to prepare for a series of subsequent handover tasks. There was a large inventory of these mid-range functional machine chips, which saved them a lot of time.
With the tacit cooperation between the two parties, the first batch of 500,000 chips was soon delivered to the Stardust factory and began to be put on the machines for actual testing. Chen Zifan was not only responsible for supervising the work, but also for imparting experience to employees.
"The connection points on each chip must be found clearly. I don't want defective products to be installed on the Stardust phone just because of some inattention..."
It's not that harsh if you have to say it, because there are many processes for product testing. Even if one of the problematic chips can pass the first round, it will be checked out in the subsequent testing process.
Chen Zifan doesn't need to say these words. None of the employees in the core area of Stardust Factory are considered "little elites". When they are making products, the so-called concentration and ensuring product accuracy are only the most basic requirements.
What's more, in their eyes, this "chip processing machine" is perfect. With the cooperation of multiple instruments, the error produced is actually lower than the minimum error value. They only need to follow the process ~
According to the current production capacity, the "chip processing machine" can produce 20,000 reinforced cores a day. It will take 25 days to process all the first batch of chips, but Chen Zifan can't wait that long now.
After the first 1,000 reinforced cores were released, he took the chips directly to the laboratory and conducted a wave of "motherboard welding" with some core employees. This part was even equivalent to pure handcrafting.
Some newly arrived core employees were immediately stunned by Chen Zifan's powerful operation. They held their breath and waited for Chen Zifan to complete the operation before starting to whisper: "Damn, hand soldering chips to install the motherboard, our little director Chen is like this." Is it fierce?"
When the old employees on the side heard this, they immediately puffed up their chests: "Hey, where are you? Who do you think is the most awesome master in our factory? Mr. Chen has some more amazing skills that he hasn't used yet..."
"What special skill?"
"You'll find out soon~"
Soldering the motherboard is a technical job. A slight hand shake or poor temperature control may not be visible at the moment, but during subsequent use, it is easy for the motherboard to be soldered due to various reasons.
For example, in some models of the later famous Black Shark e-sports mobile phone, excessive heat generated by the motherboard will directly cause the motherboard to be welded during high-intensity gaming for a long time, thus affecting the normal use of the phone.
Of course, under normal circumstances, mobile phone motherboards are not welded by humans. This will be the case in the future, and it will be the same now. Chen Zifan just did it to save some time. It is the same whether several mobile phones can turn on the machine.
After welding the motherboard, he cooled it down. Then he started to sort out the cables inside the phone and began to assemble them one by one in order. The whole process was like building blocks.
After going through the motherboard, components, graphite heat sink, thermal paste, battery, waterproof glue, etc., and finally connecting the glass cover of the back cover and the screen, a handmade Stardust 1 was born.
It is worth noting that even a small thermal paste in Stardust 1 is specially customized. Not only is the shape very regular, but it also has a clear Stardust logo printed on it, truly paying attention to the details.
Seeing that Chen Zifan had assembled a Stardust 1 in fifteen minutes, the core employees around him immediately cheered and started making all kinds of boasts:
"Chen Dong Niu B!"
“Dr. Chen’s craftsmanship is great!”
"Dr. Chen is such a man~"
"You are ours..."
"Hey~ ok, ok!"
Chen Zifan raised his hand and directly interrupted these employees. Can't he praise him for being handsome? What the hell is man? Also, it is not difficult to assemble a mobile phone manually. He would probably be scolded at Shiconn for his speed.
"Hmm... the finished product should look like this. You can test this machine first and adjust the machine parameters to prepare for production. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
In Chen Zifan's opinion, Stardust 1 is more like a scaled-down version of a smartphone. Fifteen years later, the 4.8-inch screen would have been too small to be looked at directly, but now it's a giant screen. .
The reason why the entire body looks small and light is because there are no physical buttons, no exaggerated frame, and the thickness is comparable to a 1 yuan coin. It stands to reason that this is a proper mini card machine.
But after lighting up the screen, the exaggerated screen-to-body ratio made every core employee unable to help but play with it. They had already seen the design drawings, but they never felt as shocked as when they got the product.
"Hey, it's such a big screen. If my dormitory in high school had such a mobile phone, at least three people would have to watch it every night..."
"When I was in high school, people still wore their cell phones in their waistbands... It was a symbol of wealth. A big brick cost thousands or even thousands!"
"The mobile phone I used the year before last had a green screen. When I saw they were using color screen mobile phones, I thought it was just a mobile phone. It could make calls and send text messages. Who would have thought?"
"This screen is so damn clear! I have never seen a mobile phone with such a clear screen in my life! It is indeed retina-level!"
"Hurry up and test on the computer! Finish the test quickly, so brothers can use it too!"
"Yes, yes, yes~"
