Technological Hegemony

An Ran reported that the technical link of passive components has already been completed, and the key is the production link, which requires large-scale resource allocation and reorganization.

Different from other industries, there are many types of passive components. According to incomplete statistics, there are thousands of models commonly used in the market, hundreds of capacitors with different sizes and models, hundreds of resistors, and more than 100 types. Harmonics, these are all passive components.

As in the past, the situation where products are launched in large quantities and quickly seize the market is unlikely to happen in the field of passive components. This will be a long war.

Of course, Luo Jia understood the reason why he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to Beijing again and hand over the carbon crystal capacitor to the military. By the way, he also wanted to find the general and talk to him about the future development.

After all, in addition to the software department and hardware department, Star Technology has recently added a life science department, and life science is still very troublesome.

In the capital, Luo Jia saw the old general again.

Grapes were planted in the arbor in the backyard of the general's house, and it was the season of grape harvest. Secretary Lu washed a small pot of Kyoho grapes and asked Luo Jia to taste them.

"It's so sweet!" Luo Jia spat out the grape skin and said in surprise, "Is it a common variety? It's much tastier than the ones sold in supermarkets."

Secretary Lu explained with a smile, "The varieties are the same, but the grapes sold in the supermarket are all intensively produced on farms, but this Kyoho is a pure natural green organic grape that is fertilized and watered by the general himself."

The general shook the cattail fan in his hand and said to Secretary Lu, "Bring some for Luo Jia when you leave, and some of the melons I planted for him, too."

Secretary Lu nodded in agreement, Luo Jia chatted with the general for a while, and finally got down to business, showing the general the carbon crystal capacitor in the box.

"This is the new type of capacitor you mentioned?" The general asked suspiciously, "With this thing, can the stability of the electromagnetic cannon be enhanced?"

Luo Jia nodded and said: "Carbon crystal capacitors have strong anti-interference ability, and are also resistant to high temperature and corrosion. They are a perfect substitute for the original control circuit. Military scientific research institutes should be in great need."

Although Xingchen Technology has a good relationship with the military, it has not yet reached the level of general contracting for military weapon research and development. It is more about cooperation between the two sides, mutual benefit, how to implement the plan, and what kind of technology to use. Xingchen Technology only provides assistance. The real decision is still the military scientific research system.

Secretary Lu said in surprise: "Ah,

As expected of Star Technology, carbon crystal capacitors have been mass-produced! General, this is a good thing. Not only can the electromagnetic gun be used, but it can also be used in our space and fighter projects. Except for the price, there are no other disadvantages. "

Luo Jia said helplessly: "This is the case in the high-tech industry. The investment in research and development is too large. Take pu as an example. After it is decomposed, it becomes sand. The manufacturing cost is not high, but the technology of turning sand into pu is of high value. gone to heaven."

The general nodded slightly, "What age is it? Although our army can't compare with the big local tyrants and American emperors, we still have enough funds. The price is not a problem. As long as the things are good, our orders will continue to flow."

Luo Jia suddenly felt sad. He remembered an old photo. In the last century, when General Liu visited the North American aircraft carrier, he stood on tiptoe and stared at the advanced equipment of the American emperor. That scene made many netizens cry. flow all over the face.

Today, the military has finally hardened its waist, the aircraft carrier has grown from scratch, the j20 was born out of nowhere, 055 dumplings, and even the electromagnetic cannon has been officially included in the agenda. General Liu should be able to rest in peace.

"You came to Beijing this time, shouldn't it be just for carbon crystal capacitors?" The general thought for a while and asked, "It's not like you need the help of the military to build a capacitor, right?"

Luo Jia scratched his head, "To tell you the truth, we are still confident in the passive components market. Within a year, we will win at least half of the world!"

"Okay, you need to have this courage!" The general slapped the table excitedly, "Although I don't know anything about capacitors and resistors, I heard from Xiao Lu that there must be at least a few thousand passive chips in a computer." Components, and those are almost all imported, I was in a hurry at that time."

"I used to think that pu and memory technology were of a very high level and we couldn't make them, so we had to import them from abroad. It turned out that we couldn't even make those small capacitors. What's the matter?"

Luo Jia didn't say anything, the general really doesn't understand technology, although the capacitor and resistor are small, the technical level is really not low.

Among other things, take the important electrode paste as an example. It is necessary to purify nickel, silver, and other precious metals to near perfection. To manufacture magnetic cores and wires, nanotechnology must be used. There is no super scientific research team and no massive funds. Support, there is no way to get it done.

The annual sales of passive components are more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the profit is only 4 billion U.S. dollars. They also have to face a series of powerful competitors. Most companies are not willing to invest huge sums of money in this field because of the risks. It is very high, and the effect may not be seen if the money is spent.

Star Technology is different. The reason why they engage in industrial software is not because industrial software makes money, but because industrial software is very important. Similarly, the reason why they engage in passive components is by no means because they are interested in the $4 billion a year. Profit, but because of passive components, it is very important!

This is the biggest difference between a businessman and an idealist. A businessman only wants to make money, but Star Technology's research and development projects are not all aimed at making money. Luo Jia does business that makes money, and Luo Jia does business that doesn't make money.

In this way, Star Technology is very scary. They are not profit-oriented, but ideal-oriented. As long as it is important, they will do it.

Luo Jia rubbed his hands together and said, "General, we urgently need your help this time."

The general was slightly taken aback, and told Luo Jia to tell the truth quickly.

It turned out that Luo Jia came to Beijing this time not for passive components, but for the company's new front, life sciences.

The life science project studies gene technology, cell modification technology, and immune activation technology. Many of these scientific research projects do not conform to ethics.

Take the current immune activation research of the Wen brothers as an example. To study this thing, it is not enough to use a group of fish and mice to conduct experiments, and people must be used!

Without human experiments, life science projects cannot go on at all, and experimenting with humans is a typical ethical and moral issue.

Huh~

After listening to Luo Jia's words, the general leaned back, shook the cattail fan in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Secretary Lu looked at Luo Jia in a wrong way. He didn't know that Luo Jia came to ask the general to do this. If he knew, he would definitely not let Luo Jia in!

The general is already an old man half buried in the earth. He is upright and his character is well-known.

It is not worthwhile to be famous for a lifetime, but when you are old, you will be dragged into the water by Luo Jia, and bear an immoral notoriety, the notoriety of an accomplice.

Luo Jia also has no choice. Life science experiments are not ordinary pharmacological experiments. If you want to modify the human body, you can't find the health department and say, "Give us some people, and I will use these people to do some experiments."

Impossible, there is no such reason!

After thinking for a moment, the general said, "When will you start human experiments?"

Luo Jia explained: "At present, we are trying our best to close the front. In the future, the company only has two plans, one is semiconductors, and the other is life sciences. Semiconductors have started recently, and the life sciences department is preparing and recruiting , It is estimated that there will be some action in the second half of the year.”

"Actually, I can do this matter without telling you, old man. My colleagues all over the world do the same. The Middle East, Africa, and India have always been the human experiment bases of major companies. In those areas, as long as you are willing to With money, life can also be bought.”

"But after thinking about it, I still feel that I can't hide it from you. After all, you have to rely on your conscience. The military cooperates with us on many projects. This is your trust in us. If something happens to us and our reputation is ruined, yes Neither you nor the military can confess."

The general nodded, "I'm very relieved that you can think that way, which means I'm not mistaken."

"If you go abroad to conduct human experiments, will the risks be controllable?"

Luo Jia said: "There has never been a certain thing in this world. The so-called risk control also pays attention to probability. Developed countries often engage in such projects under the banner of NGOs, in the name of charity, in refugee camps or among the poor. Do it quietly."

Luo Jia just said in general that if this matter is really going to be done, there are still many ways, because the world is still chaotic, and buying human life with money is by no means a fantasy, and it is even very convenient and quick.

Chinese people often have an illusion that law and order are good, and it is normal to go shopping in the middle of the night and eat supper.

However, this is not the case. In this world, there are only a few countries that allow you to go to the streets at midnight and return home safely, and almost all of them are concentrated in the East Asian Monster Camp. , China, Japan and South Korea have no problem, and Singapore has no problem.

But if you live in New York, go to the street at twelve o'clock at night and try it?

It is said that Sweden was originally a very harmonious country, but because of the refugee problem, Sweden’s rape rate has been ranked first in Europe for three consecutive years. As for Finland and Denmark, these countries with good law and order are now praying for the blessing of Allah. up.

Anyway, let's put it this way, with the financial resources of Xingchen Technology, it is easy to buy human lives for experiments around the world, there is no difficulty, but it is not very ethical.

"Do you have to go this way?" the general asked again.

Luo Jia said in a deep voice: "The scientific community agrees that the 21st century will eventually be the century of life sciences. Let me just give you a simple example and you will understand. Suppose there is a technology that allows ordinary people to obtain three times the Ein Stein’s IQ, and then North America uses this technology to create 10,000 enhanced super Einsteins, then they can really rule the world through the all-round advantages of economy and technology brought by IQ crushing , we have no power to fight back."

"Of course, this is an extreme situation. I just use this extreme situation to tell you that the potential of life science and technology is a million times more terrifying than nuclear weapons."

"Of course it doesn't matter if it's a small country. The African black uncle doesn't care about atomic bombs or life science and technology. He just likes to lie on a tree and hang himself in the sun."

"But we are not black uncles in Africa. We are Huaxia with a millennium heritage. We are a generation carrying the dream of rising. Under such difficult conditions back then, we were hungry and wanted to produce nuclear weapons because we couldn't afford to lose. , the same is true for life science and technology.”
