Chapter 783 Failure
As for why Niu Niu and Gallican prefer to use Panda computers, on the one hand, it is because of the low price, and on the other hand, it is more about the benefits.

Let’s not talk about Niu Niu, Gaulo Aircraft sells military helicopters and has sold more than 3000 of them so far, and orders are still increasing.

The spare parts for the subsequent maintenance of these helicopters basically rely on our supply. In addition, there are too many resources of Gaul in West Africa. What is the purpose of our earning foreign exchange? Of course, it is to purchase resources to produce more products.

So these two countries were the first to accept Panda computers. Don’t forget that Niu Niu’s aircraft carrier fleet was built up by dealers.

As for other European countries, although there is pressure from the Bald Eagle, the two computer companies in the Bald Eagle's country are now being condemned by everyone. If anyone proposes to buy them now, it will be a clear help for the monopoly consortium to make profits for their own country.

However, they felt it was risky to let these countries develop operating systems independently, so they turned to Fenghuo Technology Company for customization.

"We can agree to this." Liu Hai was of course willing to agree. The computer system was just starting out, and as long as he could bring several computer companies from Bald Eagle's family under his control in the next few years, he could develop rapidly on his side.

Maybe we can even surpass our opponents in the fields of computers and semiconductors.

By the 90s, even if the bald eagle rises again, our country will have a huge consumer market and it will be mature by then.

Not to mention that the bald eagle in this time and space is not as powerful as it was in history, and a lot of business has been snatched away by itself.

Let’s not even talk about the helicopter business.

Just from the entertainment sector, a lot of money is made in North America every year, and this is not even the wealth of those people in Bald Eagle country.

In addition, it will be even more difficult for the future small players such as Sandezi and Xiaobangzi in the automobile, small appliance and semiconductor industries to get back on their feet.

Of course, the Bald Eagle's scientific and technological capabilities and strength are still very strong. After all, it almost encompasses the fruits of victory in World War II.

Take satellites and space shuttles for example; the Bald Eagle's technology is still the best in the world.

It’s just that Liu Hai has now caught up with the civilian semiconductor field. The next step is to suppress the opponent and then soar all the way.

No matter what kind of science and technology, there must be enough market to have enough funds for research and development.

The main reason why Bald Eagle chips have been successful in history is the huge application market.

At present, the major conglomerates in the Bald Eagle country still tend to favor traditional industries because they are not familiar with the computer industry at all.

Even computer professionals don't know that computers are so expensive. What is his future? After all, it is impossible for a computer that costs thousands of dollars to enter thousands of households.

Also, computers can do too little nowadays. If you want to print data, you must store it on a floppy disk and then take the floppy disk to the printer to print it.

As for sending emails, surfing the Internet, socializing, watching movies or videos, forget about it.

Not to mention now, even in the late 90s, the computer industry and the network industry had not found any profit points.

So in the late 90s, the Internet bubble burst again, and Penguin was almost sold at that time.

But for Liu Hai, who has been living on the Internet for decades, it is easy to find profit points.

Now the game is one of the profit points.

"Okay." Ni Nan didn't understand the boss's arrangements, but the boss was willing to take the money and share the money with the people working below, which was enough. Besides, after following the boss for a few years, it seemed that all the boss's plans were going smoothly.

Just like a while ago I was worried about computer sales, but now computers are in short supply.

"How did the LAN game test go?" Liu Hai asked again.

"It's almost over."

"How long will it take to complete the development of the third generation of Loongson chips?"

"If everything goes well, it will be by the end of this year, but in the end it still depends on the trial product?"

"Remember our development direction. Whether it's games or other things, they are all for technology services. Whether it's operating systems, office software or hardware, we can't rely on others for technology even if we want to."

"Boss, I dare say that some of our research is more advanced than that of the West."

"That would be the best. Of course, technology should still serve people. How about the technology of connecting computers to printers?"

“We are working on this.”

"This technology must be developed as soon as possible. Technology should look like technology. Using a floppy disk to print out information is so embarrassing."

"That's what the boss said."

"There is also the need to keep up with the hardware and software development of sound cards and audio."

“I understand.” Although Ni Nan didn’t understand the use of sound cards and audio, how big is the capacity of a song now?

But the world is big, and the boss who gives out the year-end bonus is the biggest.

If I don't listen to my boss, my lover will kick me a few times when I get home and won't let me in.

"Well, we also need to keep up with storage technology. We are just a company now, but don't forget that the other party is a country."

"clear."

This is how Liu Hai guides Fenghuo Technology Company in its general research direction. He just needs to plan out the path to take.

In fact, it is relatively simple for Liu Hai to manage Fenghuo Technology Company because it is a pure R&D company.

As for Panda mobile phones and Panda computers, the technology is licensed to other manufacturers for production.

Therefore, no matter what the production output and quality are, even when developing their own operating systems for European countries, the specific negotiations are conducted by the higher authorities.

Generally speaking, there are two modes. One is how much it costs to develop an operating system alone, and the other is that we can develop it for you for free based on the number of computers you order.

Anyway, try to occupy the market as much as possible. The computer market is so small now anyway, if you occupy it, others will forget about it.

This is not something worth a few dollars that can be sold in large quantities through promotion. This is something worth thousands of dollars, and there are only a handful of potential customers.

The more you grab from Bald Eagle's computer company, the less you'll have to eat.

After returning to the factory, Liu Hai found that Sun Aiguo was already waiting there.

"This is the test data of the liquid fuel rocket engine." Sun Aiguo's younger brother handed Liu Hai a file bag, and Liu Hai found a videotape inside.

Liu Hai took out the videotape and started playing it.

The videotape has no sound, but you can see that it is at a launch site, which is located in a valley and surrounded by mountains on several sides.

The liquid rocket used in the test is not too big, with a total height of only 4 meters and a diameter of only one meter. It also weighs only two or three tons.

Most of it is fuel.

The test rocket engine ignited successfully and slowly lifted off into the air.

When it reached a certain height, Liu Hai's heart was in suspense, but the test rocket successfully hovered at a certain height and began to move left and right.

Dynamic balancing is actually not a big technical difficulty nowadays, because Feixiong and Niu Niu have both worked on vertical take-off and landing aircraft, so Liu Hai is still confident about dynamic balancing.

Liu Hai looked at the time, because it will take a certain amount of time to take off, which means it will only land when the fuel is consumed to a certain safety level.

I saw the rocket slowly descending. It only descended a few dozen meters, but the next second, something seemed to go wrong. The rocket automatically shut down, then fell straight down to the ground and exploded.

However, the explosion was not very loud because the fuel inside was already at a safe level.

This is the biggest problem now, sensor accuracy, computer response capability, and computing power.

It is also difficult to say that external assistance can help the system itself, because the external assistance information data transmission feedback is slow. The information response speed is slow, the calculation speed is slow, and it only takes a moment for something to go wrong.

I don’t know which sensor detected the wrong data, causing the computer to mistakenly judge that it was time to shut down the engine.

There may also be a problem with the control program.

At an altitude of several hundred meters, a test rocket cannot figure out its own position, let alone a rocket returning from an altitude of dozens of kilometers.

"Awesome!" Sun Aiguo's eyes widened as he watched the rocket hover in the air.

"This thing is just like a person. It's easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down. If you miss a step, you will fall down directly." Liu Hai shook his head.

The technique of taking off is simple, and balancing at a certain height is not very difficult.

The key is to fall back. Of course, this is what experiments are all about, accumulating experience through continuous failures.

This is a small one. If that kind of launch vehicle is used, the first stage will face more problems.

“How long will it take for this technology to succeed?”

"I don't know, just keep doing it." Liu Hai didn't care. It was indeed a bit ahead of the times to do this now.

But some things are better done sooner rather than later.

Then Liu Hai looked at the test data again, mainly the various preparations during the test and the status of the rocket at that time.

"Director, I'll go to this department first."

"Go ahead." Sun Aiguo nodded.

Liu Hai originally thought that the research department team would be depressed because of the failure, but unexpectedly everyone was quite excited.

In fact, the people who are doing this research are aware of the difficulty of this technology. Now the test results have exceeded everyone's expectations, so everyone is still very happy.

In this case, there was nothing more to say to Liu Hai. Everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do. The wreckage from the experiment was not kept here for research, but in a special place.

Because the wreckage may contain some residual toxic substances.

Liu Hai went home after get off work in the afternoon, and his junior sister also came back before dinner.

"The fighter jet project hasn't been finalized yet?" asked the junior sister.

"It's almost there, but it didn't make it to July 7st. It will probably be announced on August 1st," Liu Hai said.

"So we can only go to Hainan on August 8st?"

"Let's make arrangements after August 8st."

"Should we take our own plane?" Liu Hai frowned when his junior sister asked this.

It's a bit unreasonable not to ride in the plane produced by your own factory.

But when the whole family was on the plane, Liu Hai still felt a little uneasy?

"Just take the train." Liu Hai said.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you were afraid of flying?"

"I get airsick."

"So you can fly a plane?"

"This is different." Liu Hai felt a little sad when talking about flying a plane. He originally wanted to fly a J-10 fighter jet for some fun, but the higher authorities refused to agree.

Even his superiors did not agree with his position as a radar officer. It seemed that his dream of flying a plane in the future would be dashed.

"When our private jet arrives next year, we will fly directly to Hainan." Liu Hai now understands why the plane that causes the most air crashes would be banned from flying.

For those of us who have a choice, we will definitely not sit if we can avoid it. As for those who have no choice, of course there is nothing we can do.

"It looks like we need to build our own large civil aircraft." Liu Hai decided to build a twin-engine large civil passenger aircraft using Rolls-Royce's high bypass ratio engines.

At worst, foreign customers can just buy Rolls-Royce engines, and China can use its own engines.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm going to redesign a twin-engine civil airliner."

"This is a good thing. It feels weird to always produce other people's aircraft."

"I think so too." Although Liu Hai disagreed with this statement in his heart, because in the future many countries wanted to develop their own civil aviation technology, but failed. It would be wishful thinking to want to obtain this complete set of technology in the future.

But what my junior sister said is right. There is no need to say too much to women on these little things. If you win by reasoning, then on another level, you actually lose.

"I don't know how badly Xiao Benzi will be killed in this time and space. Will it be as tragic as those countries in Southeast Asia during the financial crisis in 08?" Liu Hai pondered.

In fact, in history, when the bald eagle and the fat bear were fighting, both sides reached the final critical moment.

This also depends on the acting of our great actor comrades to drag Fat Bear to another track, the Hollywood studio track.

Otherwise, the economy of Bald Eagle might collapse first.

This is also why the Bald Eagle in history launched the Plaza Accord to reap the wealth of the small book to subsidize itself.

"It seems we need to remind the higher authorities." Liu Hai knew that this would also have an impact on us, after all, the Japanese yen appreciated and the US dollar depreciated.

But I am not sure whether this will happen. After all, the development of small books is not as good as in history. Although the bald eagle has also transferred some industries to small books, it is much less than the industrial transfer in history.

"Never mind, I'll write a suggestion first."

“Also, let’s talk about the dollar tide.”

"If the bald eagle doesn't kill the little book, then which country will?"

"Our country does not have a lot of foreign exchange reserves. After all, we still have a lot of resources to borrow. We are not afraid of being strangled by others."

"Niu Niu?" I had this idea because Niu Niu has the largest foreign exchange reserves in US dollars. Although many of our country's trades are settled in US dollars, they are immediately converted into resources.

In fact, to put it bluntly, in the automotive, traditional home appliance, clothing and other industries, we only make a small profit, and the bulk of the money is still earned by channel dealers.

That is, flying scooters, mobile phones, and computers have high profits.

Of course, competition in traditional industries is already fierce, but channel dealers make money by selling goods and resources at the same time.

“Is the bald eagle going to attack Niu Niu?”

"If the bald eagle doesn't absorb enough blood, and Niu Niu and I are messing around, maybe both the bald eagle and the fat bear will suffer."

"Do you want to give Niu Niu a reminder?"

"But we still have to let the bald eagle suck some blood. Otherwise, if he collapses first, our neighbor next door will become stronger, which is not good."

"Forget it. I'll just write a proposal to predict the international situation and let the higher authorities worry about it."

"But the Bald Eagle should not collapse so easily, because the US dollar still accounts for the largest share of international settlements."
