Chapter 664 Evaluation (First update)
It's not that Liu Hai doesn't want to build a chip architecture of his own, but he doesn't have the ability.

On the one hand, Liu Hai is not an expert in this area, and on the other hand, our country still has big shortcomings in this area.

It may be said that the top experts are not bad, but a chip architecture does not depend on one person. Two people can support it, which requires a huge team.

In addition, chips must not only have scientific research results, but also have application results. In the current domestic environment, even scientific research institutions will rarely install a computer for you.

The current price of a computer in the West is around US$1500, and a high-end version can even reach US$ or US$.

A foreign car only costs US$1,200 or US$1,230. Even though the current domestic situation is much better than in the past, our country has too many people and the average growth rate is not very high.

After all, industrial products still have a cost, and now that they are seizing the market, it is certainly impossible to make high profits.

Of course, there are definitely many benefits, at least it supports a lot of workers.

Therefore, in terms of application, at most some core scientific research units will be equipped with computers.

It is simply impossible for other scientific research units to hire people to do all the work because of this cost.

Just like in 2020, my country has become the largest country in mobile payment, also because of the promotion of the civilian market.

So Liu Hai feels that it is completely possible to get a permanent license for x86 now.

The development of Bald Eagle's semiconductors and computer electronic information technology is inseparable from the development of their application fields.

Computers can improve some work efficiency and reduce some manpower, but this is exactly the opposite of what we are doing now, where we need to relocate people.

It doesn't mean that everything will be fine once you get one chip. There are also various compatible device service agreements and so on.

In 2020, if a Chinese company can compete with foreign countries in the field of mobile phones, it will also rely on the civilian market.

And after obtaining authorization, you can also sell the products produced all over the world. If you develop a thing alone, then others will definitely not be compatible.

A computer is not only composed of a chip, but also many other things.

Moreover, if you develop a chip alone, you also have to deal with various other upstream and downstream things separately.

Liu Hai also knows that the x86 architecture was not developed by Intel in the early days, but was replaced by a microprocessor by a company in order to solve the problem of circuit board heating.

Even if it is equipped with 1 computers, there will not be a big application market. However, Bald Eagle can pre-order 25 new computers within one month of its release.

Some people say that this company is engaged in communication equipment and has nothing to do with individuals. Communication equipment also relies on the huge civilian market.

Of course, later AMD copied Intel, and then Intel lost the lawsuit. Finally, AMD obtained a permanent license for the x1996 architecture in 86.

So Li Jin, the designer of the 4004, believed that Intel did not pay attention to the CPU market, so he left. Then he developed the Z80. The Z80 is compatible with the 8080 instruction set and beats the 8080. This also proves that the instruction set itself has no patent protection. ISA, which is the instruction set architecture, is patent protected.

Also, Li Jin, the designer of the 4004 chip, took over the half-dead 8008, and then launched the 8080 chip.

Buying a computer is one thing, but subsequent computer maintenance and computer consumables are a huge expense.

Of course, it was impossible to touch it myself, so Liu Hai thought of the dealer again.

In fact, Intel didn't pay attention to CPU at all at this time. He was only focused on dry storage.

Therefore, Liu Hai now has no choice but to find a way to obtain authorization. It is unwise to open a separate track. To open a separate track, Liu Hai is not clear about the future development direction.

It is precisely because of the development of their civilian fields that they have promoted the development of chip semiconductors and informatization in their countries.

Then it commissioned Intel to produce it. It thought Intel was in the field of storage and felt that the processor had no future. In the end, the company paid Intel $5 for the x86 architecture microprocessor.

But Liu Hai thought of a larger market in the field of chip application, game consoles!

So I’m going to take off my bangs and do this to promote the development of semiconductors in our country.

Sun Aiguo was on the side, and of course he didn't know about Liu Hai. He was thinking about semiconductors and still talking about things in the south.

"This fat bear is true. He always supports others in causing trouble."

"Your suggestions last time were really timely, allowing us to adjust many industrial products in a planned way."

Liu Hai nodded. In fact, his last suggestion was to give his superiors a reassurance, because the superior department must also have relevant information.

It’s just that sometimes the direction is too important. After all, if too much is produced in one aspect, it will have a considerable impact on the industrial structure and economic structure of the entire country.

At this time, in the factory of an aircraft manufacturing company in Bald Eagle, engineers were dismantling an armed helicopter purchased from Gallic Chicken.

Bald Eagle also traveled from other countries for a long time, and then spent a long time to get this armed helicopter.

After all, if Gaul Chicken knew about it, it would probably cause quite a dispute.

"Damn it, these luxurious guys actually all use titanium alloy armor!" First, the titanium alloy armor on the outside of the aircraft was dismantled one by one.

Bald Eagle's domestic titanium alloys are extremely expensive now, because they are almost all smuggled back from Fat Bear. The armed helicopters owned by Bald Eagle only have titanium alloy armor on key parts.

"Oh, the design of the front glass of these guys is very advantageous." The front glass of armed helicopters produced by some Eastern countries is flat, while the front of the early Apache aircraft was not flat, but spherical. Later in the war, Only to find that it is still flat and easy to use.

"Send all these parts to the laboratory!" All the disassembled parts are sent to the laboratory to test the structural strength and so on.

"Damn, the rotor actually uses a lot of titanium alloy. How did they master the titanium alloy processing technology?" After the rotor was disassembled, it was cut and inspected.

"And how does the strength of the helicopter's transmission system meet the requirements?" These engineers looked at the disassembled transmission system and found that the transmission parts were slightly smaller than their own parts specifications.

This is just like early automobile transmission shafts, which were very thick, but by 2020, many automobile transmission shafts will be much thinner.

This is because of the strength of the material.

"I have to say that the avionics device of Gallic Chicken is not much worse than ours. The sensitivity of this aiming helmet is better than what we designed." These engineers thought that all avionics and aiming helmets were made by Gallic Chicken. .

"The gyroscope aimed at the inside of the helmet is very sophisticated. The Gallic Chicken is actually ahead of us in this regard."

"There is nothing that can be done about it. They have already booked so many armed helicopters and sold so many. They have enough money to upgrade their avionics systems!" "I think Gallic chickens are very important in helicopter aviation. Electricity will soon surpass us because they sell so much.”

"The wire-controlled anti-tank missile is a little behind."

As for the turboshaft engine, it goes without saying, because Bald Eagle has already dismantled the general-purpose helicopter bought from Gallic Chicken.

After careful disassembly and comparison by these engineers, a result was reached that the engineers could not believe.

That is this armed helicopter, which is better than our own in many aspects, especially the internal layout.

There is also the overall structure, as well as certain material aspects, especially titanium alloy processing technology.

This matter was summarized in certain departments, and people in certain departments looked at the reports submitted by the experts and had questions on their heads.

"How did they do that!"

"How on earth did they do it!" If we talk about general-purpose helicopters, they are also suspected of copying their own country's helicopters.

After all, the Black Hawk entered service very early, and the other party's utility helicopter entered service much later. Helicopter data can be obtained from third parties or other places.

But for armed helicopters, others can put them into service earlier than your own country.

Historically, the Apache did not enter service until 1984 and became combat effective in 1986.

The model was determined in 1976 during a competition with rivals.

However, at this time, the Bald Eagle saw armed helicopters produced by certain countries. In 1977, it officially announced that its own armed helicopters were in service and sold them all over the world.

Because if they don't sell it, the entire global armed helicopter market will be occupied by certain countries.

Therefore, Gallic Chicken was able to successfully obtain a Bald Eagle helicopter gunship. As for how it obtained it, this is unknown.

Because the Bald Eagle has not completed all optimized designs, it is not as good as the general helicopter in many details.

On the contrary, after some customers made comparisons, they chose the Gallic Chicken armed helicopter without hesitation.

That's why Bald Eagle will find a way to get the armed helicopter sold by Gallic Chicken to see what advantages the other party has and copy it himself.

"So if we adopt their same configuration and the same optimized design, can we regain the market?" Bald Eagle officials in some areas consulted helicopter experts.

"With all due respect, this is simply impossible. I think the military might prefer the other party's helicopters?" the expert replied with a shrug.

"Why?" After hearing what the expert said, the officials above were a little confused.

"Their helicopter is entirely covered with titanium alloy armor. Even their rotors use much more titanium alloy than ours, making them stronger than us in terms of resistance to strikes."

"I think you gentlemen also understand that the stronger the resistance to attack, the higher the survival rate." The expert said.

In fact, what Bald Eagle doesn't know is that when some countries produce rotors, because the composite materials are not good enough, they can only pile titanium alloy. There is no other way, so they just produce this at home.

It has to be said that although some countries seem to be lacking in natural resources, many things are basically unique.

Tungsten, heavy rare earths, titanium, etc.

In 2020, some people have some doubts about selling rare earths. In fact, from a strategic perspective, it is right to do so.

On the one hand, this can be used to speed up the layout of domestic rare earth industrialization. For example, my country is leading the world in rare earth production technology. The reason why these technologies are leading is not because exports are profitable, so there is motivation for research and development.

Rare earths are simply not used in China in large quantities and cannot support a huge industrial chain.

Exporting abroad can make foreign countries dependent on our rare earth products, so in the end, some countries have been clamoring for this or that, but they have to continue to do business.

Because there are some things that their country does not have at all. Once they say that all contacts are to be cut off, the first person to lose is themselves.

Let’s talk about a piece of trivia: Cotton from a certain place, which is widely praised by Western countries, is the best material for making explosives.

"As for producing it with the same configuration, it is completely impossible, because if it is manufactured according to the armed helicopter sold by Gallic Chicken, then our quotation will increase by 20% or more on the original basis. "

"With such a big price gap between the same products, if you gentlemen had to choose, which one would you choose?" the expert said again.

Several officials who listened to the report also felt their scalps numb when they heard this, because the price gap between the two reached more than 40%.

Even a fool would not be able to buy his own products with such a huge price gap.

Of course, there are a few die-hard guys who want to buy it, but these die-hard guys definitely feel uncomfortable.

There are also die-hard guys who don’t occupy a large market share.

"And it is said that their orders for armed helicopters have accumulated until the end of 1980. The number of orders for armed helicopters has exceeded 1000. With the development of the Fat Bear new tank, I think this number may increase 2 to 3 times." Experts He spoke again.

"This damn guy!" The person listening to the report heard that so many helicopter orders were all money. If this damn guy hadn't disrupted the situation, the orders for more than 1000 helicopters would have been his own.

"I forgot to tell you that this is just an armed helicopter. The number of general-purpose helicopters is said to be more than this." The expert shrugged again.

"Shit!" Several officials who listened to the report can imagine how much profit these thousands of helicopters will bring and how much impact they will have on their own markets. Moreover, everyone knows that helicopters will last decades if they are bought back. It may not be bad, and it still has decades of after-sales maintenance.

"And one thing that needs to be noted is that their aviation engine field is also developing very rapidly. The engine technology of their latest Y-9 aircraft has reached the world's advanced level."

"Although high-bypass-ratio engines have certain technical difficulties, according to their current level of scientific and technological development, it is likely that they will be able to develop their own engine within the next five years."

"I visited their Y-9 aircraft in Niuniu. I have to say that they are already very strong in the field of aircraft manufacturing, no worse than us. So I suggest that they can speed up the pace in the civil aviation field. If the McDonnell Douglas transaction If we delay it for another two years, maybe the other party won't buy it. Now they don't want to buy it. Maybe they want to make it themselves. The reason why they don't refuse now is because their research and development has not yet produced results," the expert said again. .

"And by then I think Europe will issue them airworthiness certificates and flight permits for their new aircraft, so it will be difficult for us to get stuck in this regard!"

"Damn, dirty, despicable nobles, shit stirrups, they should be sent to the square!"

"In this transaction, if it weren't for Niu Niu, we would have reached an agreement long ago." Several officials who listened to the report were also very angry.
