Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

In fact, if it hadn't been for this huge order, the production line plan would have been put on Kangchi's agenda.

In this era of industrialization, it is hard-earned money earned by hand rubbing, and it is difficult to popularize products on a large scale to benefit more users.

But according to Kangchi's original plan, at least after upgrading the third-generation lens, the production process of the third-generation lens should be analyzed before considering the production line issue.

After all, the second-generation lenses are still too low-end, and it would be too wasteful to build a production line for this transitional product.

Also, mastery points are really hard to get!

In the past few days, he worked on almost two hundred shots day and night, and only got 6 points in total.

At that time, Kang Chi was secretly happy for a while when he made the first lens and gained a sufficient level of proficiency. However, he soon found that he was happy too early.

This thing is the same as the life occupations in many games. The experience gained from polishing the same piece of equipment decreases exponentially. The more proficient you become, the less experience you gain. In the end, you only get a symbolic consolation prize of 0.01.

It takes 3 mastery points to analyze the second-generation lens, which is a bit painful for Kangchi.

But then I thought about it, maybe the system encouraged him to work harder, instead of trying to become more proficient by repeatedly making something?

In addition, he still had a doubt.

If I use semi-automated equipment for production, can I gain proficiency points?

What about handing over the production line to workers?

What about automated production lines?

All these require subsequent experiments to obtain results.

Thinking of this, Kang Chi first turned on the computer and looked up the prices of lens production equipment.

Semi-automatic small laser cutting machine with 5mm error, price 89,000,

Entry-level semi-automatic precision grinding and polishing machine, priced at 39,000,

Small physical vapor deposition coating equipment, price 260,000...

Seeing this, Kang Chi stopped immediately.

Are you kidding me?

To start a small business worth tens of thousands, you need to build a production line worth millions?

No wonder few people in China dare to touch this industry.

Although Kang Chi has absolute confidence to turn this small business of tens of thousands into hundreds of millions or even billions, for now, he cannot afford such a high investment.

Without a house as collateral, the loan is not enough.

Fortunately, he can cheat!

Kang Chi silently took out the lens from the cabinet and looked at the panel.

[Item: Daqin Optics 50mm F1.4 lens]

[Manufacturer: Kangchi]

[Item level: 2]

【Experience: 135/400】

[General experience: 217]

[Proficiency Points: 7.4]

[Item status: intact]

[Analysis project:

Structural analysis requires proficiency points: 1.

Lens analysis, resolved.

Material analysis requires mastery points: 1.

Process analysis requires mastery points: 3. 】

This lens was recovered from the user and upgraded. Kangchi plans to keep it as a prototype and use it for future upgrades and analysis.

The new general experience was directly converted from the first-generation lens sent to him by an old user during this period for replacement.

Once you get 48 more likes, you can upgrade to get a third-generation lens!

"Process Analysis!"

As Kang Chi spent 3 mastery points, the familiar sharp pain in his brain came over again, along with the amount of information dozens of times more than last time.

"hiss--"

A large amount of cold sweat broke out from his forehead and slid down drop by drop.

As the infusion of information ended, it took another ten seconds for the pain to gradually subside. It took Kang Chi a while to recover.

The side effects of this analysis are much stronger than last time, but everything is worth it!

Because he got a complete set of production information about this second-generation lens from mold opening, cutting, polishing, coating, assembly and calibration testing.

Moreover, this production line is completely designed for this second-generation lens. There is no lack of performance or excess. As long as Kangchi can produce it and perform simple debugging, it can be put into high-efficiency production!

It's a pity that although Kangchi knows how to do these devices, he can't understand why he does them.

Just like a mechanic who can repair a car but cannot design one, the knowledge gap between the two is huge.

These problems can be solved slowly. The top priority now is to build this production line ourselves.

With the design drawings engraved in his mind, these seemingly high-end devices are no longer mysterious to Kang Chi. He only needs to purchase the corresponding materials and parts and he can build them himself.

Moreover, the production line built by hand can also be upgraded in the future. This is the key to breaking the monopoly of foreign investment in the field of digital cameras!

In fact, the island country's manufacturers can dominate the world in the field of digital cameras not by relying on the technical reserves of their products.

As far as the technology of digital cameras and lenses is concerned, China is not lagging behind in terms of top optical equipment. For example, the optical equipment on the surveillance satellites flying in the sky is much more powerful than civilian-level camera lenses.

So why is this technology obviously available, but is it being rubbed on the ground by island countries in the civilian field?

The key lies in the production line.

The cost of high-end optical equipment on reconnaissance satellites can easily reach hundreds of millions. Scientific research units can polish and make every part by hand and overcome every problem at any cost.

But it is different in the civilian field, and cost issues need to be taken into consideration.

With their high-end production line technology, manufacturers in the island country can produce civilian-grade camera lenses in large quantities and with high quality. However, China does not have the energy or money to develop the technological branches of these production lines for the time being.

After falling behind for more than a century, there are too many things that need to be caught up, and it is impossible to cover everything.

Without national macro-level support, it would be too difficult to make up for this shortcoming through private market behavior.

Judging from the prices of the equipment I just checked, this is a completely loss-making business, and it is only entry-level equipment that can only produce some low-end products; truly top-notch production equipment is simply not available on the market, and you have to rely on Companies invest in research and development themselves.

Take Sony as an example. Their R\u0026D investment in the camera field is often billions of dollars per year. Which domestic capital is willing to touch it?

What's more, mobile phones are squeezing the professional camera market more and more seriously, and big names such as Sony, Jianeng, Ni Kang, and Songxia are fighting in this red sea of ​​stock.

In short, according to the original situation, this domestic shortcoming does not know how to make up for it in the years and months of the monkey.

But now that Daqin Optics is the disruptor, everything is about to change!

…

"I'll go, why is it out of stock?"

"Only ten of them every day?"

"You're so quick to engage in hunger marketing?"

"Damn it, it's gone before it gets stronger and bigger!"

"Is there a possibility that they really don't have such a large production capacity?"

"Isn't this obvious? Da Qin's lenses are all handmade by the boss. Where can so many people buy them all of a sudden?"

"No wonder the workmanship is so poor, it turns out to be a handmade product!"

"It will take a month to deliver the goods? If you are impatient, run away quickly. I am afraid that I will have a heart attack..."

"..."

Daqin Optical's limited sales and extended delivery date have left a large number of customers disappointed.

These customers were intrigued by Li Chen's video, but in the end they couldn't get the goods, and they inevitably felt a little resentful.

So they gathered again in the video comment area and started criticizing Daqin Optics...

After reading this, everyone remember to invest in the new book~
