Chapter 755 ARM (Second Update)

The difficulty of this flying motorcycle that uses a turbofan engine lies in the miniaturization of the turbofan engine.

The Bald Eagle's Tomahawk cruise missile will officially enter service next year.

In fact, cruise missiles all look similar, and the one with bangs design is also similar, but accuracy is a problem now.

In 2020, cruise missiles adopted a variety of guidance methods, including cruise phase inertial + terrain matching + satellite-assisted navigation, and terminal guidance was optical scene matching guidance.

This is simply impossible nowadays, so the accuracy is somewhat worrying.

Of course, for large fixed bases, this flying motorcycle is faster and more powerful than the original flying motorcycle.

For the same distance of 1500 kilometers, previous flying scooters would take seven hours at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, but this flying scooter with a turbofan engine can cruise at a speed close to Mach 0.9.

That means it can reach 1125 kilometers per hour.

In fact, in Liu Hai's opinion, this cruise missile does not have any advantages over the flying motorcycle.

Because the costs of the two are completely different, this flying motorcycle with a turbofan engine cannot be manufactured by any factory, while the original internal combustion engine version of the flying motorcycle can be manufactured by any machinery factory.

Whether in terms of combat potential or cost-effectiveness, the flying scooter has unparalleled advantages.

It is easy to launch 1 flying motorcycles, but it is too difficult to launch 1 cruise missiles.

In addition, breaking through other people's air defense network still requires saturation strikes, and relying solely on performance is still unreliable.

Even if the other party was able to get early warning and knew that ten thousand flying motorcycles were approaching.

In order to intercept these 10,000 flying motorcycles, how many fighter jets, how many helicopters, and how many anti-aircraft missiles would be needed?

How much does a simple air-to-air missile cost? How much does a flying motorcycle cost?

What's more, it costs money for a fighter jet to take off.

Of course, at this stage they can be used in combination, that is, use the flying motorcycle to open the way, then calculate the time, and then launch the turbofan engine version of the flying motorcycle.

Then try to have both arrive at the destination at the same time. This will have the best attack effect because the destructive power of the turbofan engine version of the flying motorcycle is much greater than that of the fuel version.

Of course, this will become more difficult later on, because the radar will become more and more confident that it can lock onto the most threatening target by calculating the target's speed.

But no matter what, ten thousand flying scooters are beyond the upper limit of what all radars can track and calculate.

If the radar is turned on and captures 1 flying motorcycles, it might be paralyzed.

In 2020, Liu Hai discovered that the war had returned to the army era.

Although Fat Goose destroyed all of his brother's airports in the first wave, why didn't Fat Goose gain air superiority later on, and even the number of times it dispatched aircraft was pitifully small.

The main reason is that there are too many air defense weapons. The larger ones include the special S-series air defense missiles, the smaller ones include air defense tanks, and even smaller ones include various individual air defense weapons.

To be honest, air supremacy is not that important in 2020.

This is probably something no one expected.

Of course, the deputy director in charge of military industry also knows the advantages and disadvantages, but any weapon has disadvantages.

We should have what others have, and we should also find ways to do what others don’t have.

Of course, the deputy director in charge of military industry paid the most attention to the No. 001 teaching building. The main structure of this building was completed very quickly, but the internal facilities were slower.

The main thing is that Comrade Liu Hai must build these internal facilities well and some of them can operate successfully.

Finally, the test data was taken away by the deputy factory director in charge of military industry. This was top secret test data.

Although it is okay to give it to Comrade Liu Hai, it will be of no use to Comrade Liu Hai. Instead, it would be dangerous if he kept it.

Liu Hai looked at the time and drove to Fenghuo Technology Company.

"Boss." Ni Nan had been waiting in the company for half an hour.

Until now, Ni Nan still doesn’t know who his boss is. Anyway, he has not seen his boss in any public information.

Now Ni Nan is convinced when he calls him boss, because he has a lot of money, is willing to delegate power, and is willing to do technical research. He is not like some people who just want to buy foreign technology and then sell it to their own people to make money.

“测试的怎么样了？”在1981年的时候，IBM就推出了PC DOS这一款电脑，这一台电脑在1981年销售2万5千台。今年销售19万台，明年更是销售70万台。

When it was launched last year, Liu Hai asked the company to buy one, disassemble it, and then imitate it.

Liu Hai replaced the 8088 chip used by IBM with the 8086 chip in order to seize the PC market.

And before Fenghuo Technology Company was established, it purchased the production license for the mouse.

The mouse was not officially launched on the market until January 1983, when Apple introduced its new generation of computers.

Of course, the computer that Apple launched in January next year suffered a major failure, mainly because it was too expensive. One computer cost more than US$1, which is nearly US$9990.

More companies are willing to use cheaper IBM PC-DOS computers.

Apple computers were produced and eventually ended up in a landfill in 1986.

"The test has been completed. It is better than similar products because the chip we use is better than the other party." Ni Nan said as he took out the information.

The bangs did not choose the design of integrating the screen and chassis like current computers, but separated the screen from the chassis.

Most computers now have the screen and chassis together, and the bangs are also modularly designed, which means that the power supply, heat dissipation, fan chip, etc. inside can be disassembled.

In the early days, Apple thought that the cooling fan was a hindrance, so it removed the cooling fan during research and development. However, it was later discovered that the product would not work without it.

In his previous life, Liu Hai liked to tinker with computers. Of course, at that time he could make all the computer components by himself and buy parts and components at will.

So the company was allowed to design the bangs of this computer according to its own ideas.

Ni Nan also agrees with his boss's advanced ideas.

"How's the chip going?" Liu Hai looked at the test report and was still concerned about the chip.

Because the Intel 386 chip is a groundbreaking chip, they have already launched the 286 chip this year.

"It's quite difficult for us to catch up with Intel in the X86 architecture chips." "The reduced instruction set chips are already being tested, thanks to the boss who bought a lot of professional journals and materials." Ni Nan said.

Liu Hai nodded. RISC (reduced instruction set computer) has been popular in Silicon Valley in recent years, so he came up with the idea of ​​ARM architecture.

The first 32-bit ARMV1 in history has only 45 RISC reduced instructions and five different addressing modes. Of course, their team will not start working on this chip until October next year.

In fact, the ARM team initially targeted the 80286 chip, but Intel didn't care about others at all.

They will have to wait until October next year when they are left with no other options before they develop their own chips.

In fact, our country is not short of semiconductor talents, especially for today's chips, and Liu Hai has also purchased various of the world's top journals and papers.

Liu Hai has been paying attention to this project since the past two years. Of course, at this stage, it seems that ARM chips do not have as wide a market scope as Intel chips.

ARM chips only rose to prominence after the advent of mobile communications. Before that, Intel had never taken this little brother seriously.

Liu Hai remembers that Intel and this company later exchanged patents or something like that. This was actually a last resort because the application range of mobile chips was too wide in the future.

Moreover, in this era, all the big companies were tinkering with their own RISC architectures, such as IBM's POWER architecture, HP's PA-RISC architecture, SUN's SPARC architecture, and DEC's Alpha architecture being developed.

ARM's ultimate success lies in its market direction for embedded applications.

Of course, we’ll talk about this later.

"We must speed up our pace. Although this chip seems to have various shortcomings now, it is indeed the first chip that our country has independently developed, designed and manufactured." With just one sentence, Liu Hai raised this chip to such a height.

Ni Nan patted his skinny chest and said, "Boss, don't worry. Our entire lab is working hard and we should be able to submit a perfect answer before the end of the year."

"As long as you can complete it by the end of the year, you will get a generous bonus." Liu Hai was also very happy because Fenghuo Technology Company had invested too much.

Fortunately, I have a good ability to make money, otherwise if I asked the country to carry out such a large project, I would probably encounter many obstacles.

Some people say why doesn’t the country take on such projects?

A country faces many aspects. Our country is vast and rich in resources, and the land in most places is not very good, so we have to solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation for the general public.

Liu Hai's Fenghuo Technology Company is expected to invest $10 billion or more within 200 years.

A country does not belong to one person. Even if a leader is optimistic about the development of the semiconductor field, it is impossible for him to invest tens of billions of dollars in this project because success is unknown.

Unlike Liu Hai, who has the foresight to know the general direction of all things and dares to invest so much.

If tens of billions of dollars are invested in the semiconductor field, what about other fields?

Although our country is much better now than in history, there is no time when a country is not short of money.

Many times when we look back at history, we feel a little regretful. Why didn’t we continue to invest in this field?

Because from the perspective at that time, there were too many places to spend money. In history, let alone semiconductors, even the navy did not have enough money to build ships. In the 90s, tanks were fixed on the deck.

Once this chip comes out and is combined with our own lithium battery, we will immediately develop a new type of mobile phone.

In fact, mobile phones have been in operation for a long time. Germany started using mobile phones for communication during World War II. Of course, it was very popular at that time.

In 1956, the first fully automatic mobile phone operator (MTA) was built by Ericsson in Sweden, but at that time a mobile phone weighed 40 kilograms.

In 1965, the MTA was upgraded to the MTB, which, thanks to the use of transistors, weighed only 9 kg.

In 1970, mobile phones could finally roam freely between base stations.

1971 The first successful commercial mobile phone network is built in Finland.

In 1973, Bell Labs successfully tested the DynaTAC, a prototype mobile phone.

In 1978, Bell Labs built the first experimental commercial cell phone network in Chicago.

This year Nokia released their first mobile phone, Mobira Senator. The FCC also approved the analog signal-based Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS), with a frequency band between 824-894 MHz. The next year, Motorola launched its first mobile phone product in the United States, the DynaTAC 8000x.

In 1991, Nokia achieved the first commercial GSM communication.

1993, the first text message!
I get excited when I think about these bangs, because all these mobile phones will use their own lithium batteries in the future, lithium iron phosphate ternary lithium batteries, and my country is now far ahead of the world.

What makes Liu Hai even more excited is that when this chip comes out, he will launch a mobile phone that is lighter than Motorola and has a longer battery life than Nokia.

Although the first analog mobile phone was not manufactured by ourselves, the first digital communication mobile phone was definitely manufactured by ourselves.

Of course, the subsequent lithium battery production will be authorized to other countries in the world. Liu Hai is not the only one who can eat alone.

Because those who try to eat alone often end up going down the wrong path.

Only after the mobile phone industry explodes will Liu Hai authorize other companies to produce lithium batteries, so that he can get the highest licensing fees.

Xiao Benzi made plans everywhere in the field of hydrogen energy, but in the end everyone thought he had taken the wrong development path.

In fact, it wasn't that he took the wrong route, but everyone saw the way he ate and decided not to follow his route, leaving him to play alone.

If Liu Hai holds the patents related to lithium batteries, believe it or not, people in Europe and the West will simply not use your lithium batteries. They may even say that your lithium batteries are dangerous and are prohibited from use.

There is nothing that these people can't do. After all, it is a fact that lithium batteries are dangerous.

When the time comes, I will license the technology to the factories in their country. These factory owners will benefit and will naturally speak for me.

"How about the fiber optic network test?" Liu Hai asked another question.

Optical fiber networks cannot be laid immediately upon launch, but must be tested first.

Because there has been no case of large-scale fiber optic network operation so far, there are only some small experimental institutions in Silicon Valley that have such experimental networks.

"The progress is a bit slow, mainly because there are too many problems to be solved. In fact, I personally think that using cable networks now also has certain advantages." Ni Nan gritted his teeth and expressed his thoughts, mainly because the fiber optic network test took up too much time.

“Take your time, there’s no rush.” After all, this is the first time in the world to do this, so there are bound to be difficulties, because there is a big gap between small-scale testing and large-scale application.

Because now the design has to be based on experiments, such as how many main optical fibers and how much volume are needed. Otherwise, if the demand arises in the future, the capacity will have to be expanded again in two or three years.
