Super Copy of Great Power Technology

The conventional flying speed of a flying car is about 1100 kilometers per hour, reaching the subsonic range, which is slightly faster than ordinary civil airliners. However, in the sparsely populated western region, flying cars have also reached a maximum flight speed of more than three times 3000 kilometers per hour, which is no slower than the third-generation fighter jets. The reason for this is that when a flying car flies at supersonic speed, there is a large sonic boom noise. If supersonic flight is carried out in densely populated areas, it may be suspected of disturbing the public. Another thing is that after the flight speed exceeds the speed of sound, energy consumption will increase sharply, and the endurance will be greatly reduced, which is not worth the loss.

In the past October, two major events occurred in the Ruida Group. First, the controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor was officially connected to the grid for power generation, and entered a long-term stable operation state, with a power generation capacity of an astonishing 600 megawatts. So far, the advantages of nuclear fusion power generation have been fully demonstrated. It has no radiation, no pollution, and does not emit greenhouse gases. A single reactor has huge power generation capacity, but consumes very little. Every four or five days, it is enough to replace a cylinder filled with helium- gas. The content of this helium- gas is very high in the lunar soil, and it is not difficult to mine. As long as the Earth-Moon route is opened, helium- can be provided unlimitedly.

Since the first ignition test of the controlled fusion test reactor, China National Nuclear Corporation has sent nuclear power experts to observe and participate in the subsequent tests, so as to master first-hand information. Now that the fusion test reactor has been successfully connected to the grid for power generation, the leadership of China National Nuclear Corporation can no longer sit still. They organized a large negotiation team and came to the depths of the grassland. They first visited the controlled fusion test reactor in a stable power generation state, and then started formal negotiations with Ruida New Energy Company. After a week of consultations, the two companies reached a preliminary cooperation intention. The two companies will jointly invest to establish a joint venture. Among them, Ruida New Energy will invest in the new company with the authorization of the use of controlled nuclear fusion technology in China, accounting for 50% of the shares, and will be responsible for providing construction drawings and a full set of hardware equipment for fusion reactors. China National Nuclear Corporation invested 50 billion to occupy the remaining % of the shares, and will be responsible for the construction and daily maintenance of the fusion power station.

Half a month later, an energy company named Huaxia Sun was officially established on the grassland. Qiao Ruida, who was on her honeymoon, had to take a day off to go to the prairie of Meng Province to attend the listing ceremony of the new company. There were not too many guests attending the listing ceremony, only about a hundred people, but everyone's identity was not simple. In addition to the people from Ruida New Energy and China National Nuclear Corporation, most of them came from China Power Construction, China Energy Construction, China Power Investment, State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, and other central enterprises with Chinese characters in their names. Most of the media reporters who came to conduct news interviews were from official media such as CCTV and Renren Daily, which was a full-fledged event.

At the listing ceremony, the head of Huaxia Sun Company announced the construction plan for the first phase of fusion power stations. In the next year, nine fusion power stations will be selected and built in China. The installed capacity of each power station reaches 6000 megawatts. After all nine fusion power stations are completed, the maximum power generation can reach 5400 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation will exceed 2000 billion kilowatt-hours, which is equivalent to the power generation of two Three Gorges. If the first phase of the project is in good operation and has withstood the test of time, the second phase of the fusion power station construction plan will be launched in the next five years. By then, fusion power stations will be everywhere and on an unprecedented scale. Traditional thermal power stations will be completely eliminated to reduce pollution and reduce the consumption of coal, oil and natural gas. At least half of the hydropower stations will also be demolished to restore the ecology of major rivers. When fusion power generation is fully popularized, it is expected that electricity prices will drop significantly, and residential electricity consumption will be reduced to a few cents per kilowatt-hour, and commercial and industrial electricity prices will not exceed two cents. At that time, energy-intensive industrial projects such as electrolytic aluminum, electric furnace steelmaking, and silicon wafer preparation will benefit first, and production costs can be greatly reduced. Electric vehicles, electric ships, and even electric aircraft will quickly become popular, and the energy properties of oil and coal will rapidly decline until they disappear and become one of the commonly used chemical raw materials.

After completing the first generation of controlled nuclear fusion power stations, the R&D team of Ruida New Energy was not idle. They were divided into two teams, each carrying out research and development in the direction of large-scale and small-scale fusion reactors. The large-scale direction is to develop a fusion reactor with a larger scale, greater power generation, and more stable operation. At the same time, large reactors can also try to apply another way of converting electricity besides boiling water, that is, magnetohydrodynamic power generation, to further improve energy conversion efficiency. The miniaturization direction is mainly to develop small fusion reactors used on various ships, aircraft, and even cars. This research and development direction can be divided into two projects: small thermonuclear fusion reactors and small cold nuclear fusion reactors. With the working principle and design drawings of the Ark reactor provided by Qiao Ruida as a reference, the difficulty of research and development is not very great.

The second major event is that the autumn new product launch conference of Ruida Technology Co., Ltd. was held as scheduled, and the new generation of Xiaoda mobile phones and Ruida notebook products were officially launched. Among them, Xiaoda mobile phones finally abandoned silicon-based processors and replaced them with graphene processors with lower energy consumption and better performance. This also means that Ruida electronic products have fully embraced graphene chip technology, and traditional silicon-based chips have gradually withdrawn from the production line of Ruida products. Thanks to the decline in the price of graphene raw materials and the improvement in chip yield, the production cost of graphene chips has dropped significantly. The price of the new generation of Xiaoda mobile phones still maintains an ultra-low price of 999 yuan, and the entry-level model positioning remains unchanged.

Rockchip's graphene chip foundry business has always been open to the outside world, and the EDA software used to design new graphene products is also open to the outside world. To date, there are already many graphene chips on the market, such as Qilin, Xuantie, Huben, Xuanwuji, etc., which are gradually showing a state of flourishing, but most of these chips are domestic products. This is not because Rockchip does not open its graphene chip foundry business to foreign companies, but because the EDA software for designing graphene chips is only available in Chinese, and the usage habits are also designed according to the Chinese. It is very difficult for a group of foreign engineers to learn and use it. It is difficult to overcome the language barrier alone.

At this autumn new product launch conference, three genuine domestic graphics cards, X100, X60 and X30, were also released. They also use graphene GPU processors and graphene video memory. The theoretical performance of the flagship graphics card X100 is more than ten times that of Nvidia's flagship graphics card, and the power consumption is similar to the latter, both around 300 watts. It's just that the driver of the new graphics card under the Microsoft Windows system is not perfect yet. Only when playing mainstream games can it fully exert its performance, and there will be no mapping errors or freezes. If it is a new game or an unpopular game, there will be various inexplicable problems such as decreased display performance, incorrect texture display, and screen tearing. This is also a common problem in the early days of the new graphics card. Later, when Intel's independent graphics cards and domestic Moore's Thread graphics cards were just launched, they all had driver problems. With the passage of time, the driver is constantly optimized and improved, and the user experience can gradually improve.

In order to prevent new graphics cards from being used for mining by mining bosses like artificial intelligence computing cards, the computing power is locked before they leave the factory, that is, the operation of mining software is restricted at the hardware level. In the past two years, the mining boom has emerged, and a large number of new and second-hand graphics cards have been bought by mining bosses for mining, so that a large number of game enthusiasts cannot buy brand new flagship graphics cards, and can only go to the second-hand market to buy some second-hand graphics cards with backward performance. It can be said that countless game enthusiasts have been mining for a long time. This time, Ruida Technology Company launched a standalone graphics card with locked computing power, which can be regarded as a special care for game enthusiasts at home and abroad. What is even more surprising is the pricing of Ruida graphics cards. Among them, the flagship graphics card X100 model is priced at only 1999, the mid-range model X60 is priced at only 1299, and the entry-level model X30 is priced even lower at only 899 yuan. In terms of performance and running points, the entry-level model X30 beats the flagship graphics cards of Nvidia and AMD, but the current driver is not perfect, and some unpopular games cannot run.

In order to further promote the graphene processor and KaiTian system, Reda Technology Company also launched a miniPC series of products at this conference. It uses the same M3 processor as the new generation of Reda notebooks, pre-installed with the latest version of the KaiTian system, and is only the size of a palm. The shell uses aluminum alloy CNC technology, which is small and exquisite, beautiful and generous. When placed on the desktop, it looks like a work of art. Of course, in order to save desktop space, you can also fix the Reda MINIPC behind the monitor with the bracket provided. MINIPC provides a very rich interface, including four USB2.0 interfaces, four USB3.0 interfaces, two full-function TYPE-C interfaces, one rj45 Gigabit network interface, one HDMI interface, and two DP interfaces. Connecting a monitor or projector can output 8K240HZ images, and can also provide four-channel Dolby sound output, fully meeting the needs of game enthusiasts and audio and video playback enthusiasts.

The latest M3 processor has comprehensively improved CPU and GPU performance compared to the previous generation. The CPU single-core performance has increased by more than 20%, and the multi-core performance has increased by more than 15%. The GPU has been improved even more significantly, reaching more than 50%. Even in the translation mode, the new 3A masterpieces can still run at full frame rate with full special effects. If you are still not satisfied with the GPU performance of the M3 processor, you can also use the TYPE-C cable to connect the graphics card expansion dock, install a Reda independent graphics card, and the display performance can be improved several times. What's even more amazing is that this generation of M3 processors has greatly improved performance, but the power consumption has not improved much. The standby power consumption has even been reduced by about one-third. I heard that the power conversion module has been fully optimized to improve the power conversion rate. The R&D engineers have really taken great pains.

Perhaps to give back to fans and seize the market, the price of MINIPC is not high. The basic model with 8G memory + 258G solid state drive is only 1499 yuan. The top model with 32G memory + 2T solid state drive is only 2999. With this little money, it is not enough to build an entry-level PC desktop, but you can buy a MINIPC produced by Reda Technology, which beats entry-level desktops in performance and has a high cost performance.

The new products launched by Reda Technology this time are not expensive, but their performance can meet the needs of most consumers. Therefore, after the products were officially put on the shelves and sold, they were snapped up by millions of netizens. The new Xiaoda mobile phone, with a stock of 100 million units, was sold out in five minutes, the new Reda laptop, with a stock of 50 units, was sold out in 9 minutes, the MINIPC, with a stock of 10 units, was sold out in 7 minutes, and even the latest independent graphics card, with a stock of 10 units, was sold out in just 25 minutes. It can also be seen from this that consumers trust and respect Reda series products.

All the stock was sold out, so the next step was to hurry up and organize the shipment. At the same time, we found Rockchip Fab and Reda Electronics Factory, placed another order, and produced the next batch of goods as soon as possible. Fortunately, Rockchip Fab and Reda Electronics Factory were not idle in the past year. They actively built new factories, customized new production lines, and introduced a large number of industrial robots to improve the efficiency of the original production lines, thereby greatly increasing production capacity. They were also able to handle the large number of new orders submitted by their sister unit Reda Technology Company with ease.

Affected by the new products of Reda Technology, similar products on the market have been more or less unsalable. Among them, Intel and AMD's CPUs and supporting motherboards have been the most affected. Whether it is an entry-level CPU of a few hundred yuan or a flagship CPU of a few thousand yuan, the performance is not as high as the M4 processor integrated in Reda MINIPC, but the price is much higher. Consumers vote with their feet and will not choose the CPU and motherboard products of AI. Affected by the mining boom, high-end graphics cards are in short supply. Nvidia and AMD's series of graphics cards are already hard to find in the market, and they are basically not affected by Reda's graphics cards.

The low-end entry-level smartphones that are widely available in the market have also been severely impacted. After the new Xiaoda smartphones, which cost less than 1,000 yuan, are equipped with graphene processors, their performance can almost beat the flagship smartphones that use Qualcomm and MediaTek processors. This makes those entry-level smartphones with the same price and poor performance that lag when opening a few web pages almost worthless. Sales have continued to fall, and even if the prices are drastically reduced, even at a loss, the sales situation has not improved.

Affected by this, the stock prices of many mobile phone companies at home and abroad have plummeted continuously, even falling below the issue price. In order to stabilize the stock price, these companies announced the establishment of chip research and development departments overnight and invested heavily in the development of mobile phone graphene processors, which stabilized the stock price. Correspondingly, Chinese chip engineers who know Chinese have become the target of major mobile phone companies around the world. If this engineer is also proficient in the use of Reda EDA software and can design graphene chips, he will immediately become a top talent, and it is not easy to double his salary.
