A few days ago, the news that Apple will launch a folding screen mobile phone at the end of 2024 rushed to the hot search, and a large number of "fruit fans" are looking forward to it. But as we all know, in 2019, HUAWEI launched a folding screen mobile phone, and at the moment of "heroes", Apple can't even be called the second.
In fact, in recent years, Apple has been repeatedly "spit out". With HUAWEI's breakthrough in 5G and satellite call functions, Apple has been forced to deal with it many times: accelerating the construction of 5G baseband, developing satellite phone functions, and even reluctantly launching software clones function.
Apple's every move has been interpreted as "stylish, fashion-leading, no matter how weird the design has its reason." However, as domestic mobile phones continue to make technological breakthroughs, some data analysis pointed out that Apple's development lags behind domestic production for 4 years, which is an indisputable fact.
Or that's why it's been said that Apple has gone from being a leader to a follower, and in fact, it's becoming more and more common in Western manufacturing – from tunnel-digging TBMs to carbon fiber, a top-of-the-line aerospace material...... In all kinds of sophisticated manufacturing fields, they have experienced the dramatic plot from "monopolizing the market and dominating the world" to "being overtaken overnight and completely defeated".
Recently, a "competition" in the field of biomanufacturing between China and the West has once again put Western high-end manufacturing in a dilemma: for many years, the mainland has lagged behind the West in the field of biology and biomanufacturing, and the civilian hyperbaric oxygen chamber is a good example.
According to the data, the civil hyperbaric oxygen chamber is a kind of household biological manufacturing equipment, which is famous all over the world for recalling youth and resisting the ravages of time. In the past, Western countries led by Japan and Britain firmly mastered the manufacturing technology of the equipment, and it was once popular in the rich circle of Europe and the United States with a sky-high price threshold of 14 million. Footballing stars such as James, Neymar, and singer Justin Bieber are all its supporters.
However, according to media reports, recently, since the Shanghai technology company "Rejuvelab" (referred to as Rlab) launched the domestic "Time Pearl", a large number of high-net-worth individuals in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou visited its official website to initiate messages and consultations. At the same time, a large number of overseas cabins were returned, among which Nissan had returned 16 units at most in one night, involving tens of millions of dollars. It is unheard of for Japan and Britain to have suffered such a major blow to the industry that has been proud for many years.
According to the top international journal "Aging": The hyperbaric oxygen chamber with a pressure (ATA) of 2.0 has made middle-aged and elderly men with an average age of 65 years old return to the prime state of 40 years old in a series of experiments (including a sharp decrease of 37% in aging cells and a 20% extension of telomeres). Or because of this, the equipment is jokingly called "youth first class" and "life continuation cabin".
Many years ago, Japan and Britain took the lead in launching civilian cabins with a pressure of 1.1-1.3. However, Rlab announced on its Baidu official website that it had built the world's first civilian cabin with a pressure of 1.9, which is the "civil performance limit" (the maximum civilian pressure is 2.0). It is reported that the higher the pressure of this type of equipment, the greater its potential. In other words, domestic production has comprehensively surpassed overseas.
Under the absolute technological superiority, the manufacturers of overseas cabins "jumped one after another". According to Mr. Chen, an industry insider, they tried their best to publicize the news that "the oxygen chamber with a pressure of 1.9 has potential safety hazards" in order to retain their market share.
This kind of thing may not be unfamiliar to Chinese people. The West, led by the United States, has said that HUAWWEI's 5G has the risk of data leakage, and even ordered Germany and other countries to forcibly dismantle HUAWEI's 5G infrastructure, but on the other hand, major American companies are desperately developing 5G technology, trying to catch up with the technological gap with the mainland, and then seize the international market.
For the question of safety, the docking staff of the official website of "Rlab" reluctantly said: The factory began to make oxygen chambers in 1998, and for more than 20 years, its cabins have set a record of 8 years of safe operation in Nanjing. She explained: "More than 30 patents are all ours, which are the work of engineers for many years, and if they are not safe, they will not be put on the market at all." ”
The cash cow is crumbling, and overseas manufacturers don't seem willing to give up. According to the industry, Japanese manufacturers fell into a brief panic after learning of the emergence of the 1.9 civilian cabin, but soon they began to specify a plan, trying to produce a civilian cabin with a pressure of 1.9 after one year, and regain the market advantage.
However, it may be possible for the Nissan cabin to make a better device in 1 year, but it is difficult to say whether users will buy it. Some users said: I have worked hard for half my life, and now my energy and endurance are not as good as those of young people, and now I have money, and I want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to "make up for my youth" and "be 10 years younger" It is quite cost-effective, but I recently learned that I used to buy an "IQ tax".
According to the Seabed High Pressure Society, there is no evidence that capsule pressures below 1.5 are effective. In other words, 1.6-2.0 is the effective range of the civilian cabin pressure. However, the pressure of the popular Japanese and British civilian cabins on the market hovered at only 1.1-1.3 all year round.
According to reports, many people have significantly felt the higher pressure in the cabin after experiencing the domestic cabin, and their skin, sleep, and energy are better after leaving the cabin. Mr. Li, a financial practitioner in Shanghai, said: "A comparison shows that the pressure of the overseas cabin is seriously insufficient!"
And this time, the appearance of the time bead seems to prove that the hyperbaric oxygen chamber is not useless, but that overseas manufacturers are "unwilling to work hard to make useful ones, and it will not affect making money anyway". This is not difficult to reminiscent of Apple's operations in recent years: it would rather "gather wool" on users than do real innovation.
Previously, Apple canceled the mobile phone with headphones, chargers, called "environmental protection", but took the opportunity to make a lot of money; even more, in the mobile phone shell color matching to do all the innovation, but in 5G, satellite phone "far behind" the domestic production. The industry sharply pointed out that enterprises that do not want to make progress will inevitably go downhill and even lose the loyalty of users.
On the other hand, domestic manufacturing, in recent years, has "made great efforts" in innovation. Whether it is a domestic mobile phone, a domestic car, a domestic daily necessities, or even a domestic civil hyperbaric oxygen chamber...... From struggling to catch up to first-class technology and enjoying a world-class reputation, China is becoming a weighty voice in various fields.
