Chapter 90 Seller's Market
Han Yang knew that this 100-fold increase in computing power was not a normal situation.
The reason why the increase was so huge at this moment was mainly because it achieved the transformation from manual to industrialization. In the future, the industrialized production model will be adopted. Even if a new generation of chips is newly developed, the computing power increase will not be so large. It would be good if it can be increased tenfold.
However, Han Yang did not plan to start the development of the next generation, that is, 10-micron chips.
He had a better way to increase computing power in a short period of time, and the increase was even greater than the development of a new generation of chips.
Supercomputing.
He planned to assemble a supercomputer with the 20-micron process chips that he could produce at this moment.
Supercomputing uses multiple CPUs and GPUs in parallel, and through the task management system, the computing tasks are assigned to multiple cores for calculation, so as to achieve the improvement of overall computing power.
This technology is widely used in various fields.
Supercomputing technology looks simple, it is nothing more than multiple computing cores in parallel, but it is not that simple.
If it is really that simple, as long as the computing cores are stacked infinitely, if 100 million cores are not enough, there will be 1 billion cores, and any high computing power can be stacked.
This is obviously unrealistic.
Supercomputing technology involves task allocation, computing power call, communication between different cores, bandwidth setting, storage, heat dissipation, power supply, etc. It is a systematic project with many technical details.
The more chips are used, the more complicated the technical details are. If these technical details cannot be handled, the increase in chips may lead to a decrease in total computing power.
In particular, Han Yang can only manufacture chips with 20-micron process at this moment, and can only use chips with 20-micron process to build supercomputers. This technology has never been involved in by predecessors-because no one has ever thought of using such backward chips to build supercomputers, and they must be developed from scratch.
But no matter how difficult it is, Han Yang also believes that it is easier than developing 10-micron chips.
Now is a period of rapid expansion of computing power demand, and the fastest way is the best.
Therefore, a large amount of equipment and materials needed to build supercomputers were transported to the underground base.
However, not long after the underground base was built, Han Yang started the expansion project again, operating the robot to expand the underground base forward, backward, left, right and downward.
The excavated earth was disguised as building materials in the building materials market and taken away and thrown away. The required materials were also brought in through the building materials market, without anyone noticing.
A large number of robots took up a lot of computing power, but now that the computing power has increased a hundredfold, Han Yang can afford it.
At this moment, in the underground base, all 260 previously idle positions have been installed with computers and industrial robots.
There were a total of 310 computers for leveling before. At this moment, there are a total of 570.
With the newly added 260 computers, Han Yang did not continue to play the game of Space War, but began to develop other more popular games.
Anyway, for Han Yang today, no matter how complex the game is, it only takes a few hours to get started and fully master it.
The income from leveling other games is lower than that of Space War. But even so, the increase in the number of computers still brought Han Yang a higher income increase.
At this moment, 570 computers can bring an average of about 500,000 yuan in income per day, which can barely cover the expenses of Zhixue.com.
If it weren't for the lack of space in the underground base, Han Yang would have planned to buy more computers to make some quick money.
There is no way, the expenses are too high.
All these computing power expenditures together account for about 7% of Han Yang's computing power.
There is still 93% of computing power idle.
But it won't be idle for long. Soon, these computing powers will be put to good use.
At this moment, a section chief who claimed to be from the Third Bureau and Second Division of the Machinery Procurement Office under the General Command of the Pluto Development Project contacted Han Yang.
"Hello, Mr. Han, I am You Jun. I contacted you this time to talk to you about robot procurement."
As Han Yang had expected, after the start of the Pluto development strategy, the robot market was basically a seller's market.
There was no need to bother to find orders. Orders would come to you.
"Hello, Section Chief You, welcome."
In the reception room, Han Yang met You Jun.
"Fuxing Industrial's designed production capacity is 10,000 multifunctional robots per year. This capacity... is a bit small. I came here this time to discuss with President Han whether the production capacity can be higher?"
"Oh? How much does Chief You want?"
"The annual production capacity is at least 24,000 units. Starting from next month, 2,000 units will be delivered every month. As for the price, I will try my best to fight for President Han. At present, the price of 100,000 per unit is still relatively certain to be applied for."
Han Yang took a breath, his face full of embarrassment, but he was very excited in his heart.
One hundred thousand per unit? That means the gross profit is 40%, and the net profit is at least 20%. Moreover, looking at You Jun's attitude, it is not impossible to increase this price, and the profit will be even higher.
As expected, the people of the General Headquarters of the Pluto Development Project, abbreviated as the Pluto Development Department, are indeed rich and powerful.
As for the designed production capacity of 10,000 units?
That is the number on the surface.
For ordinary people, it is good to reach the designed production capacity. But in Hanyang, expanding the production capacity to 24,000 units is not easy, but it is very possible.
The reason is that robot assembly production is a whole process, which is very complicated and has a large number of opaque areas.
In these opaque areas, Han Yang can directly inject his own computing power and directly manipulate the robot to complete it with an efficiency that is ten times or even more than that of ordinary technical workers.
In this way, the total production capacity can be greatly improved.
This is the place where Han Yang found a use for his idle computing power.
At the same time, this is also the reason why Han Yang insisted on designing Fuxing Industry by himself and appointed Ji Qi, the dummy, as the vice president of production.
If you don’t design it yourself and don’t manage production yourself, how can you infiltrate computing power without anyone noticing?
Of course, it is necessary to pretend to be embarrassed when you are happy in your heart.
"Chief You, our company is still small. After it goes into production, it is already difficult to achieve the original annual production of 10,000 robots. Now it has more than doubled. This... limited capacity."
"President Han, please think of a way and help. Now robots are in short supply everywhere and it is really difficult to purchase them."
You Jun pleaded with his face.
Han Yang frowned and thought for a long time in great difficulty, then he seemed to have made up his mind: "Well, the Pluto development strategy is an overall strategy involving the fate of our human civilization, and I should also make some contribution. I have accepted the order of annual production of 24,000 units and monthly delivery of 2,000 multifunctional robots. Even if I have to do my best, I will do it.
But..."
Han Yang changed the subject: "I also have a few things that I need Chief You's help with."
