Chapter 681 Technology (Second Update)
Liu Hai was not surprised by the test results. He was confident in what he had done.
February 15, 1980 was New Year's Eve. There was still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, but Xiaoyun had decided to return to Kyoto for the Chinese New Year this year.
Liu Hai felt a little overwhelmed when he received the news, but things had already come to this.
Liu Hai took some time to return to his hometown. Someone in his hometown was already building a new house, so Liu Hai also planned to build a new house next year.
The pilot of rural cooperatives has been carried out for two years, and the gap has suddenly appeared. People with plans and vision in rural areas are first of all relatively wealthy, and some have even taken out loans to buy tractors and start transporting.
Occasionally, some people buy motorcycles, and televisions have of course become the darling of rural areas, but now most people in rural areas buy black and white TVs, and color TVs are too expensive.
Even many people in the city are reluctant to buy color TVs.
In addition, the plan for color TVs has been basically cut during this period, and all of them are used to produce game consoles.
Of course, when the production of color picture tubes increases later, the price will naturally drop.
Of course, Liu Hai occasionally went back to the compound to live for a few days.
Before the Chinese New Year, Liu Hai received good news that the dealer authorized him to have a permanent license for x86.
In fact, x86 can only be said to be basic. If we want to say that the X86 series of chips are officially developed, it still started from 80386, which is the 386 and 486 that we are familiar with later.
Now Liu Hai got this license mainly to enable China to mass-produce the current 8086 chips.
And only by mastering other people's architecture can we continue to develop in the future.
In two years, Intel will launch 80286, and in a few years, it will launch 80386.
Liu Hai is preparing to walk on two legs. On the one hand, he is now introducing the x86 architecture and cultivating domestic chip architecture talents on a large scale to see if he can intercept 80386. The other leg is the arm architecture chip.
The development of the Arm architecture chip began in 1983, and ARM1 was successfully developed in 1985, but the mass production of ARM2 was in 1986.
If there is no breakthrough in the ARM architecture in China before 1983, then Liu Hai will have to find a way to poach people from Niu Niu, and then poach the entire company and R&D team.
Those conscientious dealers will definitely be willing to help. After all, the more good things produced in China, the more types of goods the dealers will have.
Given the influence of dealers in Niu Niu, Liu Hai will probably find a way to send anything he likes to here.
This time the x86 architecture has explained everything, and of course Liu Hai did not get this permanent license in vain.
Not only did he get the permanent license, he also got the production process and production technology of 8086, and Liu Hai also spent a huge amount of money to buy related production lines.
8088 was only successfully developed last year and could not be used on a large scale until 1981.
Although China can also produce 8086-related chips by itself, to be honest, the technical level, production process and yield rate are not as high as others.
Being able to produce and being able to produce on a large scale are two completely different things.
In this regard, dealers also helped a lot, after all, dealers have been waiting for game consoles.
The premium of game consoles in the market now can be described as crazy.
It's not that there are no other companies trying to copy homework, but they have already applied for appearance patents, operation patents, not to mention the content.
The customer base accumulated by Transformers and Kung Fu Panda over the years is not something that any company can make popular.
Moreover, dealers take a two-pronged approach to those who dare to copy homework. On the one hand, they donate to local official departments in public, and on the other hand, they find people secretly. It's not that they do odd jobs directly, but that they let other people place orders for these game console companies and pay high prices to let these game console companies make some borderline content, such as some characters that are similar to Transformers.
As long as the game console manufacturing company is greedy, then they will definitely go to jail after production.
Of course, if it really doesn't work, dealers don't mind these game console manufacturing companies catching fire or related personnel having some accidents.
Many people in foreign society are so anxious about game consoles that some people even pay double the premium to get the game consoles as soon as possible.
In the past, people in foreign societies used various channels to launder various funds, including coin-operated washing machines. However, there is a problem with washing machines, that is, there is always a gap between each washing.
It is impossible to say that I put a washing machine and then wash hundreds of dollars in a day and a night. The tax bureau is not an idiot.
The tax bureau even specifically monitors these coin-operated washing machines for statistics.
Game machines are different. They directly give money to the people below to play game machines.
The key is that there are all kinds of people playing game machines. The coin-operated washing machines in the laundry room are all painted by big men to wash clothes. Isn’t this a bit strange?
Moreover, coin-operated washing machines have been strictly regulated because there is a minimum time limit for washing clothes once.
Of course, the tax bureau is not stupid, but facing this new method, the tax bureau can’t come up with a good solution for a while.
The key is that this is a strong alliance. Those who can join the local game console are all local bosses. No one knows how many legislators stand behind this local boss. As for the other game console manufacturer, let alone how big a thing it has done in the past period of time.
The new chip production company is also invested in the name of a company in Hong Kong Island, and the research and development cooperates with the domestic Oriental University.
Oriental University has a special semiconductor college, which also has chip-related disciplines.
Of course, this company in Hong Kong Island has obtained the permanent architecture license of X86, and then authorized the production process of 8086-related chips to domestic chip manufacturers. As for the related production equipment costs, the 8086 chips will be used to offset the accounts.
Liu Hai mainly engages in research and development in this new company, not in specific production.
The name of this company is Fenghuo.
As for the 8086 chips produced domestically, Liu Hai plans to hand them over to dealers for consignment.
Fenghuo Technology Company, the name looks inconspicuous, and the office is located in a 6-story building within the Second Ring Road.
As for the specific research laboratory, it is inside the Oriental University. All the relevant design and manufacturing of the 8086 chip and all technical information are sent here, and foreign experts are also invited.
Liu Hai did not show up, but said that he arranged everything secretly, and Liu Hai was still in charge of the general direction.
The person in charge of this laboratory is Mr. Ni, a person Liu Hai is familiar with. Speaking of it, Mr. Ni is about the same age as Liu Hai now.
Even if Liu Hai's semiconductor career officially begins, and the starting point is very high, the primary task of the laboratory is to assist domestic chip manufacturing companies to produce 8086 chips on a large scale.
Liu Hai will not take care of the rest for the time being, and will still be in charge of the general direction in the future.
"Let's talk about it in half a year!" Liu Hai did not need to formulate the research direction in the early stage of the experiment. He had to understand these architecture designs, production process technologies, etc. first. Because there are relevant foreign technical experts, Liu Hai believes that he will be able to achieve the results he wants quickly.
The main reason is that Liu Hai is really not familiar with semiconductors, and as for chip architecture, he only knows the general direction.
However, Liu Hai thinks it is still difficult for a pure technical talent to go back to the past, because there are many guys who are treacherous.
Liu Hai decided to work on the planes he was familiar with.
The appearance of the private plane Liu Hai copied was from the G550, a private business jet provided by Gulfstream in 2003 that could fly directly from Tokyo to New York.
"Maybe it was fate that the most used engine for Gulfstream was Rolls-Royce." When Liu Hai first introduced the engine from Rolls-Royce, he introduced a small jet engine.
It was mainly to prepare for this type of small business jet, and also for micro private planes.
Micro private planes use an aircraft engine, and the market for private planes is also very broad, after all, jet engines are faster than propeller planes.
Of course, in terms of cost-effectiveness and safety, propeller planes are much higher, because their speed is low, so their safety is high.
Therefore, the private small planes sold in China are still very popular, and tens of thousands can be sold worldwide every year, because this thing is too cheap.
And maintenance, most people can do it themselves, because it uses a piston engine, unlike a turbofan engine, which has complicated maintenance technology.
It can be said that anyone who can repair a tractor can repair a piston engine plane.
"Carbon fiber!" Liu Hai thought of the carbon fiber technology when he was making a private jet. If this technology is used in a private jet, it will be a high-end product.
If you don't use some high-tech materials, you will be embarrassed to sell it at a super high price.
Carbon fiber refers to high-strength and high-modulus fibers with a carbon content of more than 90%. It is the best in high temperature resistance among all chemical fibers. Before the 1980s, to be precise, it should be before the mid-1970s. Acrylic and viscose fibers were used as raw materials and carbonized by high-temperature oxidation.
After the 1980s, asphalt carbon fiber technology was used.
The diameter of carbon fiber is only 5 microns, which is equivalent to one tenth to one twelfth of a hair, but its strength is more than 4 times that of aluminum alloy.
Liu Hai of course used the technology of the 1980s, which is the vapor growth carbon fiber technology.
As an aircraft engineer in his previous life, Liu Hai knew a lot about carbon fiber, because there were many composite materials used in aircraft at that time.
And Liu Hai also found some ancient data formulas from some scientific papers on aircraft carrier space.
Because all papers have to quote some things from the past, of course, in 2020, they seem to be some ancient formulas, but they are most suitable for Liu Hai now.
And materials science is an indispensable part of future aircraft manufacturing.
"Xiao Liu, the lithium battery has passed the test of the relevant departments and succeeded!" Liu Hai was thinking about which vapor-phase growth carbon fiber technology to use, and Sun Aiguo came in hurriedly.
"Congratulations, Director!" Liu Hai smiled and got up to give the director a can of iced black tea.
"The superior department is already preparing to apply for a patent. This technology is leading the world, which will bring a leap forward in our battery industry!" Sun Aiguo didn't understand the technology, but he also knew that foreign lithium batteries seemed to have thorns inside, so the production technology of lithium batteries in foreign countries was very unstable, and it was impossible to produce large-capacity lithium batteries, only button batteries and the like.
"That's good!" Liu Hai nodded, thinking that he could bring out the rare earth permanent magnet brushless motor, but thinking about the current development of our country's automobile industry, it is probably not necessary to take the lead in producing electric vehicles.
But then he thought that if some foreign guys saw that the automobile industry could not develop, they would go to other things, so Liu Hai planned to bring out the electric vehicle technology in the next two years.
Of course, Liu Hai's bringing out the electric vehicle technology is not like Xiao Benzi holding the hydrogen energy vehicle technology in his hands.
In his previous life, Xiao Benzi made a layout in the hydrogen energy industry and tried to harvest the world, but other countries did not recognize it.
Of course, this is also related to the danger of hydrogen energy. To put it bluntly, the explosion of hydrogen balloons is dangerous, not to mention that you are carrying a large hydrogen tank.
Some people want to say that natural gas tanks are the same, but natural gas is not as dangerous as hydrogen.
The flame propagation speed of hydrogen is fast, and the explosion limit range is large, from 4.0% to 75.6%, which is much larger than the 5% to 15% of natural gas.
In addition, the chemical properties of hydrogen are more active, which can penetrate metals and cause hydrogen embrittlement.
This is also the reason why hydrogen new energy vehicles have not developed. Some people have done statistics. If natural gas is replaced with hydrogen, the number of gas accidents in the world will increase by 4 to 5 times. What a terrifying data.
In addition, a lot of energy is consumed when preparing hydrogen, so it is better to charge directly.
So I don’t know what Xiaobenzi thinks in some aspects.
“In addition, the second-generation anti-tank missiles are also prepared for export by the superior department. Anyway, our country is not the country with the most tanks and armored vehicles in the world. Besides, the second-generation anti-tank missiles are not the most advanced abroad.” Sun Aiguo said with a smile.
"Since we sold the Flying Motorcycle, the higher authorities have made great changes to military equipment. We have sold so many Flying Motorcycles that we have directly squeezed the living space of similar products in other countries."
"It has also allowed us to earn huge profits and minimize the cost of related equipment. The dealer has taken a batch of samples for testing. I believe that someone will need this kind of product soon!"
Liu Hai nodded when he heard this: "I agree with the idea of the higher authorities. Similarly, as long as we sell enough of this kind of product, our cost can be minimized, and we can also occupy the market space of other similar products."
In fact, Liu Hai didn't say one thing. Some arms transactions are completely protection fees, so we should sell them now while we can. When the fat bear collapses later, it may be difficult for us to sell them again.
"The higher authorities think that this anti-tank missile can be integrated into the armored vehicle. What do you think?" Sun Aiguo asked another question.
"This is certainly a good idea!" Liu Hai certainly agreed with this idea. This is also a way of thinking for the development of armored vehicles in the future!
