Chongqing Geeks: Walking On The Frontier Of Science And Technology, Making Invention Fun.

Jobs, Bill - Gates, Mark - Zuckerberg...

These technological tycoons who advocate technology, freedom and creativity are influencing the ideology of the new people in this era, and the spirit of "geeks" is their pursuit.

Chongqing also has such a group of young people who have extraordinary skills and ideals in the Internet and technology. They have established more than 50 members of the Chongqing geek QQ group.

Through the Internet, we exchange ideas, technologies, and actions to achieve ideals and become part of their lives.

Yesterday afternoon, in a studio of Haier road in Jiangbei, several geeks enthusiasts showed their geek products to the commercial reporters.

"This UAV flight controller is made by me, which takes about 18 months," said Wan Yuan Bo, 32 years old. He is now engaged in the development of electronic products in Jiangbei.

At the scene, Wan Yuan Bo reporters showed that through the GPS positioning system, he connected the computer with the UAV flight controller, then opened the map in the computer, and designed a flight route within the range of the aircraft battery that could support the flight. After setting the command and successfully executing the command, the UAV was driven by the scheduled flight route under the command of the flight controller, and it worked automatically all the time, then it could also fly back to the take-off point accurately.

"I use ordinary batteries, and it costs about 800 yuan a piece, which can support UAV flying around 30 kilometers or so."

Wan Yuanbo told reporters that this product is similar to the UAV in the military field, but it has a wide range of uses, low cost, and good maneuverability. It can play a role in geological survey, disaster monitoring, traffic patrolling, public order monitoring, atmospheric research, environmental monitoring and aerial photography.

When he was a child, Wan Yuan Bo, like other naughty children, liked new things and loved to destroy.

"I love electronic products," Wan Yuan laughed. He recalled that the household multimeter and washing machine were all broken down by him, and often beaten.

He said it was because of his father's influence that the radio he used to use himself was assembled by his father himself.

When he was in middle school, he had only one computer in his school, and no one could use it. He searched for information himself, and finally moved it home.

Because of his passion for electronics and computers, he chose the computer network and communication specialty.

"3 years ago, I built the" Chongqing geek group ". Now there are more than 50 enthusiasts. Besides online communication, they have another offline studio in Jiangbei Haier road.

Wan Yuan Bo said that although they are geeks, but we come from different industries, and everyone has their own strengths, such as electronics, hand invention, communication and so on.

"Our circle is characterized by sharing", and we are not stingy with our knowledge. A geek product often converge on the wisdom of more than 10 people.

Although the ability of the folk cattle to gather together is limited, they still want to make modest contributions to China's civilian research field.

Lu Yanjie, 18, who lives in Jiangbei District, graduated from Ba County middle school. He chose to become a geek at a young age instead of choosing a university and employment path.

Lu Yanjie told reporters: "when I was in junior high school, I liked to play aero models, when I was purely fond of it. When I was in high school, I began to make drones myself. In 2012, when I was under the help of" die friend ", the drone independently completed the two prize of the Chongqing Youth Science and technology innovation competition.

Lu Yanjie said, "I don't like to follow rules. After realizing my strong points, I didn't choose to go to university after graduating from high school. I set up my studio in October last year.

My parents initially opposed my decision, but after nearly a year's development, I now earn about 3000 yuan a month.

At present, we are mainly studying the pmission antennas and 3D printers used for aerial drones, making their own sales entirely, and I have confidence to realize their value in this field.

Ceng Weixu, who lives in Shapingba District, is 30 years old. He is a real photography enthusiast.

With the increasing demand for images, this photography enthusiast has gradually become a geek.

Ceng Weixu told reporters: "when I was about 25 years old, I began to play photography. At that time, I simply liked photography. Later, in order to make the image more clear and stable, in order to prevent jitter when I was shooting many works, I needed to use the handheld electronic stabilizer, but at that time, buying a stabilizer on the market would cost about 5000 yuan.

Four years ago, I met a group of geeks in Chongqing. With their help, I began to study my own handheld electronic stabilizers.

Since April last year, in order to study handheld electronic stabilizers, I entered the studio from 9 in the morning and came out at 12 pm. At the beginning of this year, the handmade stabilizer was finally developed.

During the research and development period, my wife was pregnant, and now I think about that time, I really feel sorry for her.

Industry voice

Chongqing geeks circle

Lack of fresh blood

In the eyes of teacher Ao Fei Hu, a thirty-seven middle school teacher in Chongqing, geeks are no longer a patent for rebellious students. Some good academic tyrants are also joining in to explore new technologies.

Ao Fei Hu is 33 years old. He was originally a geography teacher in Chongqing thirty-seven. Because he loved electronic invention, he taught himself 3 years ago, and he paid for equipment. Now he is a robot course teacher and President of the school robot Innovation Research Association.

At the end of February this year, Mr. Ao took 3 students from the school to the SRC robot competition in the US.

"The American geeks are mainly young people, 16-18 years old," said Ao Fei Hu. Most of his geeks in Chongqing are on their own, and they all rely on self-study. There are not many geeks, and their schools are only about 10.

There is no inherent requirement to join the geek circle. Students in primary schools and junior high schools will gain something if they are interested in it and then help them with the help of their teachers.

Noun interpretation

Geeks different customers

Focus on individuality and focus on innovation.

Geek is pliteration of American slang "geek".

It is a group of people who take innovation, technology and fashion as the meaning of life. They are fighting at the front line of new economy, cutting-edge technology and world fashion, regardless of sex or age, and jointly contribute to the modern electronic social culture.

Fu Zhiyong, associate professor of the Department of information art design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tsinghua University, told reporters: "the geek refers to the strong ideas and ideas in the network and technology, but not willing to work with the mainstream culture.

Compared with geeks, Chuang Ke refers to those who come from grass roots, who have ideas and are willing to share. There are still some differences between them.
