Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Looking at the ten lenses neatly arranged in the discharge bin, Fang Qiming was even more excited than Kang Chi.

Kang Chi also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't be too happy. We won't know until the coating is finished and the equipment is installed and tested."

Fang Qiming nodded, full of confidence in the next success.

After Kangchi picked up the lens, he briefly observed it with the naked eye and confirmed that the shape was normal and there were no impurities or bubbles inside.

[Item: Double Achromatic Lens]

[Manufacturer: Daqin Optics]

[Item Level: 1]

[Experience: 0/100]

[General experience: 306]

[Mastery Points: 13.6]

[Item status: intact]

[Analysis items: No analysis items. 】

On the panel, the manufacturer changed from Kang Chi to Daqin Optics, but the proficiency points did not increase at all!

It seems that there is no point in using the production line to gain proficiency...

Kang Chi looked at the equipment panel again and found that the experience had only increased by 0.1.

This means that at least 100,000 lenses must be produced with this equipment to gain full experience.

A little too much, but acceptable.

Although this set of equipment is tailor-made for the second generation 50mm, in fact, as long as new drawings are input, it is fully capable of producing lenses of the same generation with other focal lengths.

As long as the product line is enriched, selling 100,000 lenses will definitely be no problem, it just takes a long time.

After confirming that there is no problem with the lenses, Kangchi transferred them to the coating machine.

Taking advantage of the coating time, he poured thermoplastic pellets into the injection molding machine and produced plastic shells and parts at the same time.

After waiting for another fifteen minutes, the two machines turned on the green light one after another. Kangchi immediately took out the semi-finished product from the material intake port, placed it on the table and started assembly.

Fang Qiming on the side quietly watched Kangchi's operation and found that, as he said, the automation rate of these equipment was very high.

Basically, you just need to put in the materials and pick up the goods. What is a little difficult is just the installation of the lens.

And the structure of this kind of manual lens is actually not that complicated.

As long as you can remember the installation sequence, you should be able to do it without shaking hands.

Soon, a brand new lens appeared in Kang Chi's hands.

This lens is exactly the same as the system-upgraded one. The workmanship and feel of its body are as good as those made by Kangchi using the thermoforming machine in the store!

One of them is smooth and round, like a handicraft, while the other is rough and inferior, and netizens jokingly call it industrial garbage.

In addition, the lens mount has also been replaced with a metal material, so there will no longer be the problem of plastic chips falling off.

"Wow, this lens feels good to the touch. It even feels a bit like metal. The focusing ring is also very smooth when twisting. Compared with the previous second-generation lens, it is like replacing a shotgun with a cannon!"

After taking the lens from Kang Chi, Fang Qiming immediately started playing with it, feeling a little bit unable to put it down.

Hmm, maybe a little bit of a maker filter?

"You are exaggerating," Kang Chi, the real manufacturer, showed a much calmer expression. He explained with a smile, "This lens is just a better-made shell. The lens inside is still the second-generation technology. The effect should be similar.”

"So this is actually still a second-generation product. It can only be regarded as a small upgrade to make it look better... I will leave the next test to you."

"Do not worry!"

Fang Qiming immediately installed the lens on the camera, and after briefly taking a few test shots in the factory, he took the color and sharpness test cards and went outside to take pictures in a place with better light.

The final test results were quite good. The image quality of the lens made on the production line was slightly better than that of the lens made by Kangchi.

Kang Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He yawned and said to Fang Qiming, "That's it for today. I'll go back and take a nap first..."

"Please clean this place up and tidy up, and then go back and rest early. You have worked hard during this period. When it is officially put into production tomorrow, we will celebrate it!"

"Okay! Brother Kang, you have worked harder than me. Just leave this to me."

…

When I woke up, it was already dark.

Kang Chi seemed to have not had such a solid nap for a while.

He got up and washed his face. Not wanting to go out, he directly ordered a takeout, then sat on the sofa and quietly waited for the takeout.

Um?

What's wrong with suddenly feeling a little empty?

Could it be that I am actually a hard worker with no time for leisure?

Kang Chi sighed and sat down at the computer desk, preparing to design a new lens, when he suddenly saw a familiar icon in the corner of the desktop.

It seems like I haven’t played a game for a long time...

"While the production line is finished, it's time to have some fun and relax."

Kang Chi clicked on the LOL icon, and the pop-up window actually prompted that 6 Gs should be updated!

After Kang Chi finished his takeaway, the game was finally updated, so he opened a bottle of Coke, played Brawl with great interest to get a feel for it, and then started playing in the queue.

result……

If you fail to grab 2 at level 1, you will get a blood loss.

Level 3, together with the support, provides a double kill.

After finally reaching level 6, the jungler dad finally came to catch me!

Kang Chi vows to avenge his past humiliation!

"Zizzi——"

The screen suddenly flashed for a second, and then went black!

"Fuck!"

Kang Chi was so angry that his face turned green.

He tapped the screen and there was no response, so he had to curse and turn on the console.

After some inspection, he finally determined that the graphics card was burned out.

Garbage graphics card!

Can you get burned by playing LOL? !

Kang Chi could already imagine the tone in which his teammates were talking about Finland to him...

His graphics card is a GTX960, and I have been fighting with him for a long time, so I have made great contributions.

Although Kang Chi knew how to repair cameras, he knew nothing about graphics cards. He had no choice but to turn on his phone silently, hoping to buy a better graphics card to comfort his injured soul.

result……

RTX4090, 18,999 yuan, in stock,

RTX4080, 10699, in stock,

RTX4070, 7499, out of stock,

RTX4060, 4999, out of stock,

…

Looking at the price of the graphics card on the screen, Kang Chi felt even more miserable.

These graphics cards are either ridiculously expensive or out of stock and simply unavailable.

He rummaged around and found that he could buy products from previous generations such as 3050ti and 2060, and the prices were not that outrageous.

No need to guess, they are all refurbished mining cards!

This group of miners and manufacturers simply leave no way for players to survive!

Kangchi also knew that the price of graphics cards had increased due to mining, but he didn’t pay too much attention.

He didn't know until today that graphics cards were so scarce.

If we say that in the past few years, the price increase of graphics cards was forced by the mining boom, but now after so many years, why have the prices not dropped?

You don’t need to guess to know that Invida and AND must have tasted the sweetness and deliberately reduced production capacity and restricted shipments!

They are the only manufacturers that can make GPUs. Once they reach a tacit understanding, they can indeed do more crazy things than camera lens manufacturers.

No, you must not get used to it!

It must be cured!

Kangchi immediately came up with the idea of ​​building a graphics card.

But when he calmed down, he felt that it was not that easy.

The biggest problem is the prototype.

Although his system is powerful, it still needs a prototype that he built himself. Even if the performance is slightly inferior, it will be fine.

But the graphics card is not as good as the lens. The lens can be upgraded with a toy lens, but the graphics card cannot.

GPU belongs to the chip manufacturing industry, and without professional equipment, even Kangchi, the originator of graphics cards, cannot produce 2D accelerator cards.

In addition to the equipment to make chips, Kangchi also needs to master basic graphics card design capabilities.

This is not difficult to solve. The technology of 2D accelerator cards is almost being eliminated. It is easy to find relevant information on the Internet. You just need to spend some time to learn it.

You have to eat the rice one bite at a time.

Kang Chi did not give up because of the difficulties before him, but immediately turned on the computer and began to search for information on the Internet.

Um,

Although the graphics card is burned, there is still no problem booting.

It’s just that without the discrete graphics, I can’t play games or carry professional software.
