Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

If you want to make money, the longest-term way is to find a suitable way to convert military into civilian.

It is not that Chengdu Aircraft has not explored this area. Chengdu Aircraft Engine Factory launched the aviation brand 50cc motorcycle and Shuangyan brand refrigerator six years ago. They were also popular for a while, but the production capacity was limited and the cost was too high. Now Already in decline.

Currently, Chengfei does not have any civilian products on hand.

Teacher Xiao Zhao led Director Gao into his office. There was a large spread of disassembled circuit boards on the desk.

Gao Changming knew that there must be something good and asked: "What is this?"

Zhao Guoqing picked up a circuit board and said: "The LASER-310 computer is made in Wanwan and imported from Hong Kong Island. It uses Zilog's Z80 processor. The z80 processor was released eleven years ago. The processor uses a 5-micron manufacturing process and an 8-bit processor, which has similar performance to the Intel 8080 processor!"

Gao Changming said: "National Day, are you going to do this?"

Zhao Guoqing nodded. Strictly speaking, the LASER-310 computer is not a computer. It does not have an operating system, but it does have a relatively fashionable basic programming program. In fact, it is even simpler than the Xiaobawang learning machine that was popular all over the country in the 1990s. Very rarely.

"Xineng chip manufacturing plant now has seven photolithography machines available. The three-micron process is still very mature. It should be faster with micron. One photolithography machine can produce 3,000 chips a day and 1 million chips a year. , seven units means seven million yuan. After the technology matures, the output can be increased several times... And we still have five PA2000s floating at sea, which can be shipped in a month at most..."

Zhao Guoqing estimates that in two to three years, chip production capacity will reach 50 million pieces. If the one-micron process is commercialized, the number of wafers that can be made on one wafer will double, and the production capacity can reach 100 million pieces.

Such a huge production capacity cannot be absorbed by military use alone. So what should we do? It must be used for civilian use!

Zhao Guoqing said: "Our 101 Institute has designed a 16-bit fire control calculation chip for phased array radar. On this basis, we can add 16-bit data movement LD instructions, stack pointer SP, register pointer unit addressing bit test, input input Peripheral port support, program loops and counters, some BCD algorithms, instructions such as byte search and offset addressing... We can do everything the z80 can do, and faster..."

Gao Changming said: "National Day, do you think we can make CPUs?"

Zhao Guoqing nodded and shook his head. Said: "It can be regarded as a castrated version of the CPU. It has a closed application environment and the instruction set is a simplified instruction set designed by ourselves. However, the bus technology can be used off-the-shelf, which saves development costs!"

"Ready-made? Where can I use the technology?"

Zhao Guoqing pulled out a thick book from the window and said to Gao Changming: "IBM has opened up all the technical information on the IBM PC as early as 1982. These technologies are open source, and anyone can produce computers according to this standard. For spare parts, we can use the 16-bit ISA bus standard. With this technology, we don’t need to redesign the internal memory, expand the accessory interface, and can directly use DRAM memory.”

Teacher Xiao Zhao’s idea is to use mature technology and mature products as much as possible to reduce costs as much as possible. The price should be controlled within 1,500 yuan. It can have most of the functions of a microcomputer, and its scientific computing power is not weaker than the 286 Xiaobawang learning machine.

Zhao Guoqing said: "We provide chips to Chengdu Aircraft, and Chengdu Aircraft will produce them! 101 Institute has set up a software division to provide application scenarios for this learning machine, including C language, basic language programming, and Pinyin typing programs. Some puzzle games and the like, you can even connect an external printer to do some simple word processing..."

Gao Changming nodded. Although he didn't quite understand what Teacher Xiao Zhao was saying now, he believed it. After all, in the past few years, all Zhao Guoqing's boasts had come true.

Zhao Guoqing said: "Director Gao, let's see. The 14th Institute sent a report to Chengdu Aircraft, saying that we invested 10 million to help Chengdu Aircraft build the production line. The 101th Institute provided the technology, and they provided the necessary personnel and production equipment. R\u0026D personnel, we will suffer some losses when the time comes. The 14th Institute and the 101st Institute will each have a 30% share, Chengdu will take the majority, and we will give them 40%, what do you think?"

"... Chips are purchased from 䱱101, and you are still part of the learning machine. It's National Day. This is not good!"

Director Gao, why can’t you always figure it out?

"No matter how advanced the learning machine is, it is only a few years advanced. Electronic products iterate very quickly. If you don't advance, you will fall back. 101 needs money to continuously invest in developing new products, and it also needs to enrich the software ecosystem. This investment is not small. !”

The key is that Teacher Xiao Zhao still wants to choose an opportunity to enter the computer industry!

"And we have to take care of Cheng Fei's father's face. They also have self-respect and won't accept what comes their way..."

Gao Changming shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Chengfei's financial manager Li Jinxi said that as long as I give you money, I can call you dad!"

"...Is Cheng Fei so bottomless?"

…………

Well, when Zhao Guoqing didn't say it, he couldn't control 14 schools, but he had 101 schools in his hands. Although he was very rich now, he would not throw money all over the world.

If you want money, you have to give it value, even if Cheng Fei's father wants to have sex for nothing, it's a matter of principle.

It's okay to cooperate on projects. Isn't Chengdu Aircraft engaged in Super 7 now? You can also borrow money from projects. Zhao Guoqing doesn’t mind that Super Seven is too risky and the rate of return is actually a bit low.

…………

Time passed quickly, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye. He and Yang Qing had planned to take advantage of Yang Qing's summer vacation to go to Shanghai. After all, he wanted to meet his mother-in-law. But if you add several projects at once, you have too many things on your hands and no time.

During this time, Yang Qing also successively talked about the situation at her home.

Yang Qing's mother is a primary school teacher in Shanghai. She did not mention his father.

Zhao Guoqing said: "Your mother is so great for raising you to be so outstanding!"

Yang Qing smiled and said, "You can wait until you see her to say this!"

"I'm telling the truth, not flattery!"

Yang Qing did not go back either. The lithography machine disassembly workshop was very busy. A workbench stabilization system had given birth to more than a hundred research topics.

For example, Yang Qing's graduate thesis "DOT Algorithm of Servo Motor Compensation Circuit", in Zhao Guoqing's opinion, is a very in-depth paper. It was recommended by Professor Tian to the Xidian Excellent Research Institute Graduation Thesis, and was recommended to the Department of Education by the school. Committee, published in the Class A publication "National Electronics".

With this paper, Yang Qing can choose any domestic university to study for a Ph.D., even top-ranked foreign universities can apply.
