Chapter 567 A Complete Stop (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)
On August 20, the company headquarters.
Several high-level executives are discussing the company's new chip market prospects.
"Xinghai Group has occupied the high-end market for three years. In the past three years, we have been panting in the low-end market. We have finally developed an 8nm chip process technology and strive to mass-produce it by the end of the year."
"Our 8nm chip process technology is still not as good as Xinghai Group's chip technology, maybe they have developed a more advanced chip technology."
"In the past three years, Xinghai Group must have made a big breakthrough. There is no doubt about it. We can only hope that the other party's 8nm process chips will not suppress the price too hard, otherwise the chip price will face a huge challenge, and we will only suffer."
"I'm afraid that the Xinghai Group will not be as good as we want. If we continue like this, there is absolutely no way."
There is a big mountain pressing them down above, so that they can't completely breathe a sigh of relief.
This mountain is the leader in the same industry - Xinghai Group, which has always had an advantage in the high-end market and is constantly upgrading and innovating in technology, while Piaotong Company can only find room for survival in the low-end market.
Although the company's 8nm chip process technology has made a major breakthrough, it still feels powerless in the face of a strong player like Xinghai Group.
Moreover, the other party may have developed a more advanced chip process, making the 8nm chip process just developed by itself lose its competitive advantage.
Just as the top executives of Pingtong are worried, so are the top executives of chip companies such as Yingtel.
...
September 1, 2017
Xinghai Group announced that the 5nm process technology chip has entered the mass production stage and will be listed after the National Day;
At the same time, the price of the old version of the chip is adjusted.
On the same day, the performance parameters and pricing of Xingguang 02 and Xingchen 02 were officially announced.
[Starlight 01: 2.25Ghz*2+1.85GHz*2+1.5GHz*4, the price is reduced to 300 yuan;
Starlight 02: 2.8Ghz*2+2.2GHz*2+1.8GHz*4, priced at 600 yuan;
Star 01: 3.15Ghz*2+2.60GHz*2+2.05GHz*4, the price is reduced to 800 yuan;
Star 02: 3.70Ghz*2+3.0GHz*2+2.70GHz*4, priced at 1,500 yuan. 】
The new mobile phone chip is still eight-core. In fact, Xinghai Group has developed a sixteen-core chip, which is not going to be announced for the time being.
Not long after Xinghai Group's mobile phone chip was released, it caused panic among colleagues.
Many industry insiders said that Xinghai Group's new mobile phone chip will have a huge impact on the entire mobile phone chip market, because Xinghai Group's technological and cost advantages are very obvious, and their product performance is becoming more and more powerful.
In addition, the price adjustment of mobile phone chips with the original 8nm process technology will also have a very big impact on peer companies.
Not long after the Xinghai Group's new product was announced, the high-level executives urgently held a meeting after Piaotong Company knew about it.
The CEO of the company said with a heavy face: "Gentlemen, the last thing we want to see has happened. The latest chip manufacturing process of Xinghai Group is not 7nm, but has been upgraded to 5nm. Especially the price cuts of Xingguang 01 and Xingchen 01 are very large. , Our 8nm process technology chip is about to go on the market, and the other party catches us by surprise.
It can be said that the most critical moment for the company's survival has arrived. "
A senior executive said: "Nowadays, the price of the old version of the opponent's product has been reduced too much, further squeezing our market share, and the impact on us is too great.
If our new product is priced too high, there will be no market at all.
Our chips can be sold well in our country, and we have been relying on the high import tax policy. I don't think this is a long-term solution. "
The CEO nodded, agreeing with the executive, saying, “We need to act quickly to address this challenge.
First, we need to reduce product pricing to improve market competitiveness.
At the same time, we also need to increase investment in technological innovation and research and development to improve the quality and performance of our products.
We also need to strengthen our partnerships with suppliers and customers for more support and assistance.
We cannot be easily defeated by our opponents. We must survive this difficult moment and protect our own market. "
All executives nodded silently, expressing agreement with the CEO's opinion.
But they know that this is a critical battle, and it is also a battle in which all members participate.
They need to work together and work together to defeat powerful opponents and move on.
Just two days later, Qualcomm also announced to the outside world that its 8nm chips have begun mass production, using its strong sales channels to promote new chips.
The mobile phone chip market is not a market that can be broken easily, because it is not sold in bulk.
In addition to technical strength and cost advantages, it is also necessary to establish a good cooperative relationship with mobile phone manufacturers in order to gain a place in the market.
As the leader in the mobile phone chip market, Pingtong Company has established an extensive cooperation network, and its sales channels and brand influence are very strong.
Although Xinghai Group has strong technology and low product prices, it still needs to strengthen its efforts in sales channels.
Under normal circumstances, if there is not much difference in chip performance and price difference between the two parties, then brand influence and sales channels will become decisive factors.
In this regard, the advantages of established enterprises are more obvious.
Of course, in the past three years, Xinghai Group's mobile phone chips have occupied most of the mobile phone chip market, relying on much more advanced technology than its peers, and the price is relatively favorable.
At the same time, Xinghai Group has occupied the vast majority of the high-end mobile phone chip market in the past three years, which shows that they have established a wide range of sales channels and achieved a certain degree of brand recognition.
In the following month, Xinghai Group launched an advertising war with chip companies such as Pingtong and Yingtel.
In general, Xinghai Group's advantages are very obvious. The performance of Xingguang 02 and Xingchen 01 can be regarded as the best in the world, and the price is not expensive. No matter how good an alliance is, they also value profit and will turn to Xinghai Group.
By the end of September, the new chips of both parties have not yet been launched, but the global cake market share of each party has been determined.
Xinghai Group has increased its original share, accounting for more than 80% of the global high-end chip market, and is still the king in this field, invincible.
Mu Yang watched the vortex from a high place, and could escape at any time.
a few days later,
Mu Yang went to Shanghai on a business trip and was invited to participate in the delivery of Somfy's first C919 civil aviation aircraft, which was also a major breakthrough and milestone event for Huahua's civil aviation industry.
After several twists and turns, the successful delivery of the C919 was indeed not easy.
In this life, with the help of Mu Yang, the C919 can be successfully delivered to the customer. He has put in a lot of hard work and sweat, and he is very proud. Just like this, he agreed to participate in the delivery ceremony.
When he came to Shanghai Somfy Company, he was warmly welcomed by academician Wu Hui and other senior management of Somfy Company.
"Congratulations, Academician Wu and President Ge."
"Without the support and help of Mr. Mu and Xinghai Group, C919 would not be able to operate at all." Academician Wu Hui and other senior management of Somfy thanked Mu Yang very much.
"Haha, you're welcome. I'm also very happy to see C919 successfully ascending to the sky." Mu Yang smiled.
Next, Somfy held a ceremony in front of the C919 ready to be delivered. On behalf of the company, Mr. Ge stood in front of the media reporters and spoke:
"C919 is a large civil airliner independently developed by my country, and the first civil aircraft with completely independent intellectual property rights in my country.
It adopts advanced design concepts, equipment and technology, and has many advantages such as high efficiency, safety, low noise, and environmental protection. It is a high-quality aircraft that meets the latest international civil aviation safety standards in the world today.
In just a few years, Somfy has worked hard with various suppliers, continuously polished in rigorous tests, and finally successfully produced this world-class civil aircraft.
I especially point out that the engine of C919 is independently developed by Xinghai Group, and its fuel economy and performance are very superior. It can be said that it is the first in the world in the field of civil aviation engines. We have established a solid cooperative relationship with Xinghai Group.
Here, I would like to thank Mr. Mu and Xinghai Group for their support and help, and also thank all scientific research institutes..."
When talking about Mu Yang, the photographer turned the camera to Mu Yang.
Standing in front of the smooth white C919, Mu Yang looked even greater. Some media reporters already thought of a news headline "The Giant Behind C919".
Next, the representative of XX Airlines, the purchaser, gave a speech, expressing his approval of C919 and hoping that the two sides will strengthen cooperation.
At the delivery ceremony, General Manager Ge, Wu Hui, Mu Yang of Somfy and representatives of XX Airlines cut the ribbon together and officially delivered the C919, which also marked that the aircraft was officially put into use.
In the near future, C919 will be commercially operated by XX Airlines in China and gradually expand its market influence.
On the same day, many media reported on the C919 delivery.
Net1 reported: "The delivery of the first C919 civil aviation aircraft is an important milestone event in the development of my country's civil aviation industry. progress towards the goal.”
When Mu Yang returned to City H, he was a little emotional when he saw the relevant reports about C919.
This also means that he has successfully completed the matter of civil aviation engines and C919.
He continued to devote himself to his work. Currently, the assembly of the ground-effect aircraft was relatively smooth. He occasionally went to have a look at the big guy.
The large-scale assembly of this aircraft began, and Mu Yang's research and development work became easier.
He felt like a cow, unable to stop for his lofty goals.
During the day, he worked the fields in the company, and at night he had to do it when he returned home.
Fortunately, the new home is much closer to the company now, which can save nearly an hour of commuting time every day, allowing him to have more time to arrange.
Next, he plans to start developing aerospace aircraft.
A new type of aircraft capable of both aviation and spaceflight, which can take off horizontally like an ordinary aircraft, and after entering the atmosphere, it can also directly accelerate into the earth's orbit and become a space vehicle;
After returning to the atmosphere, it lands at the airport like an airplane and becomes a means of transportation between the sky and the earth freely.
Some experts say that the aerospace aircraft will be one of the key weapons for all countries in the world to compete for air and space supremacy in the 21st century.
At present, many scientific and technological powers are researching aerospace planes, but no one has achieved substantial success. Most of the plans still rely on disposable launch vehicles to lift off, similar to the old-fashioned concept of space shuttles.
but,
The successful development of Xinghai Group's AN05-02J afterburning turbofan engine and Xinghuo No. 1 engine gave Mu Yang hope.
The development and balance system of the Wyvern ground effect vehicle, as well as ultra-high-strength materials, have laid a solid foundation for aerospace aircraft.
Therefore, the development of aerospace flight is mature.
If you just want to send materials into space, the Xinghai Group already has the Xingkong-1 rocket, which can meet the conditions, and the economy is also good.
But it has a problem, it cannot be driven by humans at will, and it is generally controlled by the ground control center.
In addition, the Xingkong-1 rocket can only complete short-term space missions, and cannot carry out long-term space exploration and construction.
The aerospace plane has these capabilities, not only can send people and materials into space, but also carry out scientific experiments, space exploration and construction tasks in space.
It can stay in space for a long time, and has strong maneuverability and adaptability, and can perform a variety of different tasks.
In addition, the aerospace plane can also serve as the prototype of a space carrier, laying the foundation for more esoteric space exploration and development in the future.
Therefore, aerospace aircraft has important strategic significance and development prospects, and is an indispensable part of the aerospace industry.
Mu Yang came to the personal supercomputing center on the 104th floor.
"Xiaobai, open the supercomputing center."
"Okay, master...it's opened and ready to use."
Mu Yang ordered Xiaobai to control the supercomputing center. During the process of using Xiaobai's system, he was able to discover some problems with Xiaobai's system.
In his dream, the power part of his first aerospace plane can be formed by a Xinghuo-1 rocket engine + two AN05-02J afterburning turbofan engines, and the maximum thrust of taxiing is 200 tons. The maximum take-off weight can reach 650 tons. (Maximum takeoff thrust/maximum takeoff weight is generally more than 0.3 is more appropriate)
An AN05-02J afterburning turbofan engine weighs about 6.6 tons, Xinghuo-1 weighs only one or two tons, and the total weight of the engine is about 15 tons.
To fly out of space, an aerospace plane needs a lot of fuel.
According to the situation of Xing Kong No. 1, it is estimated that it needs to carry more than 250 tons of fuel + 30 tons of aviation kerosene to ensure sufficient fuel.
In addition to the weight of the fuselage of the aerospace aircraft, due to its strong structure, it is still tens of tons.
Therefore, the actual carrying capacity is around 200-250 tons.
In order to ensure a longer battery life, the load will be reduced and the fuel will be increased.
Mu Yang named the first aerospace plane "Kongtian No. 1".
The preset length is 80 meters, and the wingspan is 85-90 meters.
This is just his preliminary idea, and the final design will definitely be very different.
However, Mu Yang doesn't plan to design it himself, it would take too much time.
The most important thing is that his design needs to be verified for several years or even more than ten years before it can be guaranteed to run maturely, and he can't wait that long.
Open Reading System, Achievement Point Store, and search for "Aerospace Plane".
Thousands of aerospace planes appeared all of a sudden, making Mu Yang dazzled.
It took him a whole day to choose an aerospace plane suitable for Xinghai Group's current situation.
Its shape is like a pointed triangle, with an integrated design, a rocket engine is arranged in the middle of the tail, and an afterburning turbofan engine is arranged on each side of it.
The afterburning turbofan engine has a three-dimensional vector nozzle, which can also play a role in adjusting the direction of the aerospace plane, and it is no longer troublesome to adjust like the Xingkong-1 rocket.
Titanium alloy is used in a large range of materials, and the structure is designed ingeniously, and it looks very rigid.
Aerospace planes fly fast and require the ability to change direction, so the requirements for structural strength are relatively high.
The required achievement points are not low, requiring 1000 points, including a new type of heat-resistant coating technology.
Since the successful manufacture of helium-3 equipment, Muyang has a better cooling solution.
On this aerospace plane, Mu Yang planned to change the cooling scheme.
After confirmation, spend 1000 achievement points to buy the technology, and then spend 200 achievement points to realize the data.
After spending 1200 achievement points, there are currently 4396 achievement points left.
Then it took another ten minutes to absorb the technology, and I had a deeper understanding of aerospace aircraft.
After the Flying Dragon ground-effect aircraft is successfully developed, the Aerospace-1 project will be handed over to the project team that develops the ground-effect aircraft, and they will be responsible for the development.
The time for the test flight of the ground effect aircraft is getting closer, and Mu Yang is looking forward to it.
