Rebirth of the 80s New Farmer

Chapter 2289 Brand New Learning Environment

Although Mi Guangnan's first-generation Lenovo notebook computer has made some gains in the market, it has not formed any trend and is a tepid type.

Mi Guangnan was very puzzled. It stands to reason that although the performance of this upper mid-range notebook is not the best, but the configuration is reasonable, the price is reasonable and the portability is very reasonable. It stands to reason that there should not be only a few hundred units sold.

He went deep into the market research to find out what the problem was.

In the late summer of 1998, the ThinkPad 600 series was officially launched. ThinkPad became the first model in the industry to be equipped with a 14.1-inch XGA display, and was equipped with the highest-capacity 8.1G hard disk at that time. The ThinkPad 600 perfectly balanced and combined performance and portability. , the feel of its keyboard is especially praised by notebook computer users, which makes this model the best-selling model in ThinkPad history.

Mi Guangnan disassembled the laptop and found that the laptop is just a beautiful appearance.

The NeoMagic600XD graphics card used by ThinkPad 128 has only 2MB of video memory, and the maximum CPU frequency is only 300MHz, so it will be difficult to cope with the current complex 2D applications, let alone 3D performance.

It can't even run Need for Speed ​​3 smoothly, and it's no better than an ideal laptop at this point.

But its appearance at least superficially affected the sale of Huaguang notebook computers.

But it is not a decisive factor. When customers discover its defects and prepare to correct their consumption concepts, some new technologies of notebook computers appear.

In 1999, IBM launched a 14.1G 4200-rpm notebook hard drive.

The 14.1-inch display became the mainstream of high-end notebooks, and NeoMagic's MagicMedia 265AV graphics card became the leader of the display system at that time.

The ACPI and APM power management specifications are officially equipped on the notebook.Yintel officially released the PII0.18CPU produced with 400 micron technology, which integrates 2700 million transistors, 256K L1.5 full-speed cache, core voltage is only [-]V, and is packaged in MicroPGA or BGA.

The emergence of these new technologies has once again accelerated the replacement of notebook computers.

Mi Guangnan's reaction was very fast. Although these technologies were novel, they did not exceed the scientific research level of Huaguang Electronics.

He learned from the unsuccessful experience of the first generation of Lenovo laptops and began to integrate the second generation of laptops.

Although the first generation of notebooks wasted his time for several years, he has accumulated a wealth of experience. Using the second generation of notebooks saves a lot of research and development time, and only needs to integrate the most ideal configuration with appropriate accessories.

It was also at this time that the notebook chip hosted by He Bo of Huaguang Chip timely launched a new notebook chip: Pearl River.

He Bo plans to name all the chips she leads after the rivers in Huaguo.

Although Pearl River's micron technology is only 0.23, and the number of integrated transistors is not as high as that of PII400CPU, only 2300 million, it also uses 256K L400 full-speed cache, and the core voltage is even lower than that of PII1.4CPU, only [-]V.

The successful tape-out of this chip is a great encouragement to Mi Guangnan, Jingdongfang and Huaguang Technology also just joined hands to launch new achievements in LCD and LED.

Especially on the LCD, a major breakthrough has been made to large-size screens.

So, soon the second-generation Lenovo laptop came out in his hands.

Equipped with Pearl River CPU, 14.1-inch LCD display, and also equipped with 8G hard disk.

Although the factory's graphics card still has shortcomings, it is no worse than the mainstream graphics cards on the market in terms of supporting 3D. Therefore, this notebook computer named Ideal Zhaoyang by Mi Guangnan was officially launched on the market on September [-]th.

In the fourth quarter of 99, this notebook became the new leader in the notebook computer market in Huaguo.

When Mi Guangnan announced his ideal Shaoyang in Shanghai, Wan Feng greeted the people from Hengren Electric Factory led by Li Da who came to Nanwan to study in Nanwan.

Li Da and his party consisted of 31 people, including him, who were expected to learn the full set of manufacturing technology of 478 old-fashioned engines in Nanwan Group.

Since August [-]st, Nanwan Group has converted all its self-use engines into EFI engines, and now only Phoenix Mountain has a line of carburetor engines.

Phoenix Mountain was originally used as an engine base for export, and there are several old-fashioned engine production lines.

Later, the engine was temporarily changed to the group's own use and then upgraded and replaced. This line has not had time to be transformed.

Just when Li Da and the others came, Wan Feng arranged for them to go to Phoenix Mountain.

Wan Feng took them to Phoenix Mountain with a bus of the group.

The people brought by Li Da will receive comprehensive training here from foundry to machining and assembly.

Chen Daowen was very happy to hear that Li Da would live in Phoenix Mountain for two or three months, and personally arranged accommodation for Li Da and others.

Most of the people Li Da brought were young people, who were full of curiosity about Phoenix Mountain.

Although Fenghuang Mountain is far from being as prosperous as Jiangwei, it also has a unique charm.

They come here to study with pay, and the company also subsidizes food expenses of two yuan a day. After finding out the price of meals in the canteen of Fenghuangshan, the two yuan is basically enough for meals.

Even if the appetite is large, it is not much worse.

After arranging board and lodging, Chen Dao took these students to the old-fashioned engine workshop, and spent an hour assigning masters to these young people.

After visiting the production line, these young people wavered about whether they could learn these technologies.

They have never seen the machine tools in the processing workshop. The raw materials are placed on the machine tools, and the master who operates the machine tool just pokes a control panel twice and it's not much trouble.

These processed parts can be processed from a dozen to dozens at a time, with automatic feeding and automatic processing, and automatic stacking after processing.

When the workbench for finished parts cannot fit, someone transports the finished materials away.

The master who operates the machine tool then codes the raw materials on the feeding table, and after poking it twice on the operating table, it will be fine again.

For the trainees of the electrical machinery factory, seeing this kind of working method for the first time, they were full of wonder and envy.

The students who learned casting were also dumbfounded. All the materials on Phoenix Mountain are the vermicular graphite cast iron technology that has been popular for more than ten years.

Vermicular graphite cast iron has the strength of nodular cast iron. Compared with gray cast iron, it has similar anti-vibration, thermal conductivity and casting performance. It has good plasticity and thermal fatigue resistance, and can solve the problem of thermal fatigue cracks in high-power cylinder heads. The best casting method for the engine block at present.

The casting of their motor factory is still the traditional gray cast iron, which is equivalent to almost learning from scratch.

No wonder they have to study here for three months.

At the same time as these trainees arrived, an old NW478 engine production line that had not been modified was also shipped from Nanwan to Hengren.

After the production line arrives at Hengren, Nanwan Instruments will send staff to set off for installation.

Li Xianrong was not idle either, and was contacting the new machine tool according to the address and contact person Li Da gave.

After these trainees have mastered new technologies in Phoenix Mountain, they can seamlessly produce new products on the ground when they return to Hengren.
