Chapter 89: Dawn
The Roppongi that Shirakawa Kaede imagined was probably a city of high-rise buildings lined up one after another and glass curtain walls dotted with lights.
The streets are filled with elegantly dressed wealthy people and various luxury cars of famous brands.
When we arrived at the place, it was still bustling with colorful advertising signs flashing and people coming and going.
But he always felt that something was missing. He looked at the shops around him and then he realized.
It was not yet the 1980s, and many iconic buildings of later generations were no longer visible.
He also discovered an interesting phenomenon: there seemed to be a lot of foreigners here.
Look, the blond and blue-eyed foreigner who just passed by them was holding a young girl in each hand.
On the crowded street, he was intimate with the girl on his left, then flirted with the girl on his right.
The two girls did not mind each other's presence at all. In full view of everyone, they not only responded to the foreigner enthusiastically, but also started to move their hands around each other's bodies.
The three of them walked into a discotheque in a dignified manner and disappeared from the sight of Baichuan Feng and the others.
Shirakawa Kaede and Kobayashi Asuka looked at each other. Kobayashi Asuka was a little shy, while Shirakawa Kaede felt a little unbelievable.
Are the Japanese people so open-minded now? Passers-by seem to be accustomed to all this.
For some reason, Shirakawa Kaede's expectations for Roppongi suddenly plummeted, with its feasting, drinking, and bright lights.
At this time, Kobayashi Asuka beside him quietly touched his arm, "Shirakawa-kun, do you want to change places?"
Shirakawa Feng was about to say that he was already here, but Kobayashi Asuka's slightly frowned brows made him swallow the words that were about to roll into his lips.
"Okay," Baichuan Feng nodded.
So they just stood on the street in Roppongi, and before they could integrate into the glitz and glitz of the place, they turned to Setagaya district.
It can be seen that Asuka Kobayashi doesn't seem to like the paper money intoxication of Roppongi, so Shirakawa Kaede didn't ask any further questions.
But then again, he felt a little uncomfortable being suddenly squeezed into the noisy and flashy Roppongi from the pragmatic atmosphere of Ota Ward with its dense manufacturing industry.
Hmm~ It seems that I need to visit these places more often in the future. After all, socializing in these places will be inevitable in the future.
It’s only a 20-minute drive from Minato Ward to Setagaya Ward. Although there are people coming and going as soon as you get out of the station, it’s obviously more peaceful.
Before Shirakawa Kaede could speak, Asuka Kobayashi had already taken the lead.
"Hey, classmate Xiaolin seems to be very familiar with this place?" Baichuan Feng followed her and asked curiously.
"Hmph," Kobayashi Asuka snorted proudly, "I've been here a few times with my dad before."
"I see." Shirakawa Feng nodded. However, her hometown is in Fukuoka, so why does she come here so often? Is she on a business trip?
“Let’s go with this one.”
While Shirakawa Kaede was imagining all sorts of things, Kobayashi Asuka found the familiar sign. She waved at him briskly and then walked into the store.
Shirakawa Feng looked up and saw "Xiao Shi", a very unique store name.
As soon as he entered the store, Shirakawa Kaede clearly felt an atmosphere that was completely different from that in the port area.
Quiet and elegant, not only in terms of the decor, but also in the guests and waiters.
Asuka Kobayashi chose a seat, picked up the menu and started ordering food with familiarity.
The whole process went smoothly, which made Baichuan Feng even more curious.
"Mr. Kobayashi, did you come here often before?" This kind of high-end restaurant is not a place that ordinary people would frequent.
Kobayashi Asuka nodded, "I've been here a few times. The sushi here is very famous. Shirakawa-kun must try it."
"Mr. Kobayashi" Shirakawa Feng suddenly looked at the other person very seriously.
"Eh" Asuka Kobayashi was confused by Shirakawa Kaede's sudden seriousness.
"Your family isn't aristocratic, is it?"
Kobayashi Asuka was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "If I were a noble, I wouldn't come to Meiji."
"Hey, where to go?"
"Of course it's Keio, or Waseda." Asuka Kobayashi said as a matter of course.
Baichuan Feng looked at her strangely. Could she go to these two schools just like that?
The extremely high deviation value alone is enough to reject more than 99% of the students.
Of course, it’s a different story for powerful families, where elite education even begins in kindergarten.
Seeing that Asuka Kobayashi didn't say much, Shirakawa Kaede didn't bother to ask more questions.
Soon, various dishes were served one by one, and without exception, each dish was small and exquisite.
Taking the opportunity to thank Kobayashi, Shirakawa Kaede also tasted high-end cuisine for the first time.
Not to mention the taste, the presentation alone is pleasing to the eye.
A dinner costs 60,000 yen, which is a well-deserved luxury package nowadays.
…
Shirakawa Kaede, who officially returned to Shirakawa Electric, arrived at the workshop of Shirakawa Electric early the next morning.
This is the territory of the R&D department, and Yasuda, Yamashita Daiji, and Yamazaki Teru are currently the masters here.
In order to support the company's technological research and development, Shirakawa Kaede equipped them with the PC-8000, the latest computer released by NEC (Nippon Electric) this year.
Each unit costs 168,000 yen, which is not expensive, but not cheap either.
Although software is very scarce nowadays, it can still help more or less.
However, the design of circuits and the drawing of lines on PCB circuit boards still rely on pure manual work in this day and age.
For example, Yamazaki Teru is currently using colored pencils and a ruler to draw circuits on transparent polyester film.
The dense circuits and electronic component symbols made Baichuan Feng dizzy. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that technical research really requires one to calm down and do it.
Ordinary people might back off after just one look at these drawings.
What's more, such complex circuits are drawn by hand, and designers must not only be proficient in drawing, but also in subsequent manufacturing processes and a wealth of electrical theoretical knowledge.
Because there is no software simulation, most of the time the completed partial circuits need to be tested manually.
The low efficiency is imaginable, but this is the current social environment. Others have also come this far step by step.
After finally completing the drawing in his hand, Yamazaki Hui put down his pencil and ruler and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Yamazaki." After he finished his work, Shirakawa Feng walked forward and bowed slightly.
Having completed most of the work, Yamazaki Hui also showed a relaxed smile on his face, "You're welcome, Shirakawa-kun. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and the main structure is completed.
However, before it can be put into commercial use, it still needs to be verified, adjusted, tested, and corrected . "
From blueprint to product is a long process. But the hardest part, from nothing to something, from 0 to 1, has been overcome.
Although there is still a long way to go in the following process, at least Baichuan Feng can now see where the end is.
The darkness before dawn and the inability to see the end in the distance are the most frightening.
Now the dawn of hope has begun to emerge. More and more people will be able to participate in the following work, and the efficiency will be greatly improved.
