For later generations of Chinese, when it comes to the Dahua project, the most impressive thing is PX, that is, paraxylene, in English, pxylene, an aromatic compound.

It is famously due to the prevalence of anti-intellectualism in the new century, and the mixed chemical reaction of despair at the bottom of the TG.

Theoretically, PX projects can be considered harmless, as all highly carcinogenic and highly polluting intermediates are treated before they are released into the atmosphere.

Theoretically, however, there should not have been fires and chemical explosions at the port of Dagu.

The problem is clear to everyone, not only the credibility problem, but a lot of low-level chaos is clearly placed there.

Hu Wenhai shook his head and took back his thoughts of running away.

The difference between PX and PI projects is one letter, but in fact, everything is similar, and they both belong to aromatic polymers.

On the other hand, however, the difference between the two is as great as the difference between iron and titanium.

The low cost of PX makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, but its performance can only be described as mediocre.

And PI, that is, polyimide, can be said to be simply the aristocracy of aromatic hydrocarbon polymer compounds.

It can do what PX can do, and it can still do what PX can't.

Of course, normally no one would use PI to do PX things, because the cost of PI is too high.

In the field of thin films, PI has a nickname, which is called "golden film"

。

It is not only described as having a wide range of applications and excellent performance, but also as being expensive.

Polyimide is the highest grade of insulating material due to its high temperature resistance of 400 degrees Celsius, long-term operation between minus 200 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius, no obvious melting point and ultra-high insulation.

Its uses are all over the fields of aerospace, microelectronics, nano liquid crystals, laser molecule penetration, and so on.

If Hu Wenhai were to fully introduce its performance, I am afraid that he would not be able to finish it in 6,000 words.

Generally speaking, if someone asks him if this thing is important?

Of course it's important!

BYD's high-end lithium battery will have to rely on imports in the future!

Even in the 21st century, when China's Dahua projects were blooming everywhere, the output of PI in the country was only a pitiful 1,500 tons per year.

Yes, Hu Wenhai definitely didn't remember the decimal point, this thing is only more than 1,000 tons of production in the country.

Needless to say, PI film is the key technology to solve the lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery.

Of course.

It is also possible to produce lithium-ion polymer batteries without PI, but it is not very good in terms of performance, not to mention that this thing is not only needed for lithium batteries, but also a large number of high-end military products, industrial products, aerospace products...... In short, Hu Wenhai envisioned a lot of "imperial toys"

It's really not okay without it.

In short, it's a ""

The material that exploded was right.

And similar to this ""

If the technology that explodes is to be exported and spread, it always means a lot of trouble.

Hunter Dupont thought about it carefully, but fortunately he was indeed not the second ancestor of straw bales.

Rather, he is a very capable successor.

Soon, he got PI's information out of his head.

DuPont is one of the inventors of polyimide materials.

As early as the sixties of the US imperialism was devoted to the study of this material.

By the 80s, DuPont was already the world's leading producer of PI materials.

Hu Wenhai's request is tantamount to digging up DuPont's roots.

But then again, no matter how good the PI is, the output is there after all.

The price of this thing is high, but the production cost and output are also very problematic.

That is, its total market volume is limited.

The third generation of lithium water battery, in theory, this thing can even pose a threat to petroleum power.

This is too powerful, the theoretical application market of lithium battery.

It is far more than the PI market.

The profit that can be brought to DuPont is not an order of magnitude player.

You must know that in China, enterprises belong to the state.

In the United States, the state belongs to the consortium.

A two-hundred-year-old brand like DuPont, which is almost on the same level as the United States, really doesn't want to be too easy to manipulate Congress to export a technology to China in the honeymoon period.

Again, that's the same sentence.

During the Sino-US honeymoon strategy, it is not that the Americans blockade and do not sell, but that even if they are willing to sell China, they can only squat in the corner of the wall and draw circles with the small money in their pockets.

It's too TM poor!

Mr. Hu's strength lies in the fact that he never pays for things himself...... Generally speaking, the other party has to ask him for money, and then he has to hold his hand.

Speechless, he choked at the end, and finally said, "Good man!"

Leonard Simon Clay Bill Heutley ...... A group of people in the anti-IBM coalition were stunned Wen Hai to operate this thing, and in the conference room of Lloyle's company, an entire wall was piled up with a grid of frame cabinets.

I saw Hu Wenhai lift a flat rectangular metal box no more than 20 centimeters from the corner of the wall, and then carefully stuffed it into the frame cabinet as if it were a drawer.

I saw the indicator light on the metal drawer that was tucked into it flash, and then it began to stay on.

Rows of code appeared on the monitor on the conference table.

Simon Clay, who was sitting in front of the monitor, tapped and waved his fist excitedly: "Okay, the system has loaded a new 'drawer' and can enter the parallel computing network!"

Everyone in this room is a big guy who can make an earthquake when they stomp their feet in the computer industry.

However, they were like a bunch of children at this time, occupying an entire wall of cabinets with excitement.

At this time, the cabinet wall was only a quarter of the area, and most of the places were still empty.

Yet even so, these "big shots"

We're still smiling like a child.

From the "drawer" of the cabinet

mouth, dense connecting wires appear on the back panel of the cabinet.

As the number of jù flows, the lights on these backplates blink like stars.

These stars eventually converge here to form the Milky Way.

"I call this server composition model a drawer server, which concentrates the most basic PC functions on a single motherboard, which can integrate computing resources and greatly reduce the cost of increasing computing resources. ”

Hu Wenhai talked eloquently, introducing this thing that he had personally done and spent a week tinkering with.

The so-called drawer server, to put it bluntly, is the 80s version of the blade server.

Because the integration and volume of the blade server cannot be achieved, the computing unit can only be made into the same volume as a drawer.

However, this does not affect the flexible deployment advantages of drawer servers, which are the best choice for low-cost and high-computing commercial servers like blade servers.

This thing seems to be quite high-tech, but to put it bluntly, it still stands on the shoulders of giants.

The small computer responsible for the preprocessing of the number is DEC, the data transmission technology is provided by Cisco, HP contributes the low-cost motherboard and computing architecture, and Apple contributes the rich computing resources under the 68000 architecture.

Hu Wenhai's own contribution is mainly two, one is to integrate the forces of various anti-IBM alliance members, and the other is to contribute hot-swappable technology.

Of course, hot-swapping is not a new technology in the first place, and it has been widely used in the mainframe field for a long time.

Not to mention anything else, the legendary level of three vacuum tubes per minute in Ainiak, if there is no hot swap, will the mainframe still work?

What Hu Wenhai has to do is to transplant the hot-swap technology to the "drawer server"

PC system up only.

If he didn't have any foundation, he wouldn't have been able to get this walled drawer server for ten years.

But with the support of almost the entire American computer industry, his job is not too simple.

Drawer server, this is Hu Wenhai's fatal blow to IBM.

Well, although I'm embarrassed, it's also a fatal blow to Simon Clay's vector machine system.

However, in the 80s, Simon Clay had already realized the limitations of vector machines and considered parallel computing.

It is precisely because of this that he is the person who is most shocked by Hu Wenhai's achievements among the people present.

As the so-called experts know whether there is a shot or not, some skills are not how superb they are, but that their ideas are not open.

If no one wakes up, I'm afraid I'll never figure it out.

Obviously, the design of Hu Wenhai's drawer server will profoundly change the entire computer industry.

With the advent of blade servers, the hardware design of supercomputing has become a game of stacking blades and challenging the bandwidth of switches.

In this way, the prelude to the supercomputing arms race can be regarded as a complete opening.

The world that follows must be a history of supercomputing constantly pushing the limits of computing speed.

In such history, Simon Clay, the father of supercomputers, will be like a fish in water!

DEC's Olson Drawer Server needs a number of jù to handle the minicomputer market, HP Drawer Server to "Drawer"

The huge demand, the development of the switch market by Leonard Drawer Server Parallel Processing, and the application direction of the huge software resources of Macintosh computers under the Steve Jobs 68000 system...... In this system, except for the absence of IBM, almost all PC manufacturers have their own bright future.

Of course, the most important thing is that the end user will no longer have the "right to vote with their feet" on the development of hardware

。

In server-to-terminal mode, server configuration will become a feast for some of the industry's cakes.

Well, the liberal alliance that we gathered to bring down the evil hegemon IBM is definitely not the prototype of an industry monopoly association!

That's what I said, but what kind of people laugh so insidiously!
