Zhao Xi got the reply and left happily, Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin were full of helplessness, and they even wondered if they would not let Xie Kai interfere in these things in the future in the future.

"Now you think I'm fooling, and you'll be grateful to me later. Xie Kai knew what the two were thinking, and he couldn't explain too much.

"Now let's think about the chip. Zheng Yucheng resisted the urge to beat Xie Kai.

The source of the 68000 chip has been a problem that must be solved so far.

In the past few days of negotiations with Pakistanis, Zheng Yucheng is thinking about this, without a stable source of chips, all the business of the base will be affected and cannot develop.

"It's a very serious problem indeed. Most of our products need this kind of chip, which cannot be produced in China at present, and we are embargoed internationally. Wang Guilin also nodded. "We make it ourselves, and the conditions and technology of our base are insufficient. ”

The products of the base, with high technical content, all require chips for data processing.

There is no stable supply of high-performance chips in China.

The labs in the base can't produce chips with 68,000 transistors.

Even if it is produced, the volume will be very large, not to mention the power consumption and cost, just the volume, it cannot be installed in the game console substrate and missile.

Negotiations with the Pakistanis have been going on, and yesterday's negotiations between the two sides reached an impasse again, and today they simply stopped for a day.

Zheng Yucheng and others hope to solve the problem of chip sources.

"Brother Quan has no channels on the Xiangjiang side? Before, they made 2,000 pieces. Xie Kai didn't know what Liu Dongsheng was doing, he hadn't come back for so long.

There was no news either.

If you had a mobile phone, you would have just called and asked, but unfortunately there isn't.

The production of gaming substrates has been going on, and there are no chips that are empty shelves.

Under the current situation of the base, 1,000 of the 2,000 chips have become 1,000 sets of numerical control systems, and the remaining 1,000 chips cannot meet the current needs of the base.

4 are needed for an avant-garde missile, at least two for the auxiliary systems of an excavator, not to mention the study of tank fire control systems, etc......

"I've got 600 now, and I haven't gotten it yet. Zheng Yucheng shook his head, "This kind of stuff is supplied by foreign companies openly, and it is not easy to do it in Xiangjiang." ”

"Didn't they register a game console company? for the production of game consoles, ordering is not a problem, right?" Xie Kai didn't expect such a problem to arise.

It didn't match what I expected.

"There is no problem with the introduction of game console companies, and Motorola has asked to send personnel to supervise the use of their chips. Zheng Yucheng's face was full of helplessness.

Xie Kai was even more stunned.

Motorola is not a company that exists to make money?

A large number of orders they don't like?

actually put forward such harsh conditions, obviously to prevent Brother Quan's game console company from transferring the chips to the mainland.

The international embargo on the mainland is so severe!

"This method basically doesn't work?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng with an ugly face. "Even if they produce game consoles on the mainland, they will regulate it?"

"When chips are shipped to the mainland for production, it is not a matter of supervision. The other side did not agree at all, and negotiations are now underway in this regard. Wang Guilin's words told Xie Kai how naïve his original idea was.

The Batumi embargo is not just an ornament.

The embargo on China was far stricter than the embargo on the Soviet Union.

"Internationally, we can't buy it, and we can't produce it in China, and those who have production capacity are too troublesome and unwilling to produce. Zheng Yucheng told Xie Kai that if the problem of chip source is not solved and the supply is stabilized, the development of the base will fall into a very dangerous situation.

"Do you want to communicate with Factory 742 again? This chip will be used more in the future. Xie Kai once again felt that it was so difficult to do something in this era.

The chip thing has affected all his plans.

Not to mention the existing ones, even the J-6 UAV must have such a high-performance chip.

The technicians of the 404 base are gradually familiar with the performance of this chip, and it is most suitable to use this one.

There is no supply, and they can't find a replacement chip.

"Don't count on Factory 742, I've been there to look for them before. Even if there is a greeting from the superiors, their attitude is also obvious, they can give priority to the supply of integrated circuit chips needed for color televisions; Wang Guilin saw Xie Kai talking about Factory 742, so he didn't get angry.

The only large-scale integrated circuit production line in China, one or two products are in short supply in China, and the units that need them are waiting in line at the factory gate, and they will naturally not go to transform the production line for 404 and produce hundreds of thousands of chips.

"This can't be blamed on them, they haven't even produced the chips for color TVs stably. Zheng Yucheng can understand the 742 factory, "If we are not a desperate unit, who is willing to take risks? Who is willing to make trouble?"

His words are right, 742 products, as long as there are no domestic competitors, will always be in short supply.

After the introduction of the first color TV production line in China, hundreds of color TV production lines have been introduced, and all the demand comes from imports.

The low-performance chip used in color TVs can't meet the needs of 404 at all, even if more blocks are used to connect.

"There will be no international embargo on Pakistan for these chips, right?" Xie Kai suddenly asked, "Is it possible to import these chips from the United States through Pakistan?" Their friendship with the United States is not too bad. ”

Internationally, 68,000 chips are mainly used in the field of industrial control and some military fields, and there is no reason for Pakistan to demand hundreds of thousands of such chips. Wang Guilin reminded Xie Kai not to count on Pakistan, "They will make a few thousand yuan, and the problem will not be too big." ”

Let Pakistan make thousands of dollars, there is no profit, and the government has to do relations, how can people do this?

"A few thousand dollars is a few thousand dollars, give it a try, they can do as much as they want, as long as they can get chips for us, when negotiating, you might as well make more concessions. Xie Kai gritted his teeth and said.

Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin both heard helplessness from his words.

"Didn't we plan to cooperate with Factory 691 before? Why don't we go and see them first, if we can solve it, we don't have to be so troublesome. Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.

"Far water can't quench your thirst. Even if 691 can be provided, it is estimated that it will not be able to meet our needs. We have to be prepared for everything, especially the production of consoles, once launched, the demand is too huge. Xie Kai was worried about the source of the chip from the beginning.

Now the fear has become a reality.

The arcade machine he made will not be launched by Capcom until two years later, so he is not in a hurry, but hopes to find a stable chip supply channel.

Now the supply of chips is unstable, and even the equipment production of the base cannot be guaranteed, let alone game consoles.

"If Motorola agrees to produce on the mainland, even if they send out monitors, we will have a way to get the chips out. Zheng Yucheng took a deep breath.

"The problem is that people don't agree. Xie Kai said, "Only if we can produce it in China, we will not be choked." ”

If you wait a few more years, a large number of more advanced chips from abroad will appear on the market, and it will be easy to get such chips in China, and by that time, the daylily will be cold.

"Then we can only seek the cooperation of Factory 691. Factory 742 has no hope, even if Factory 691 has the ability to provide, before that, we also need to solve the current gap, the order of 1,000 game consoles has already signed a contract, and the substrate has been produced......" Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai with some embarrassment.

The game substrate is produced, as long as you install a chip and copy the game into it, it will be done.

Now, Zheng Yu has become the source of funding for the base, and he did not consider that it was a contract, but appropriated the chip to the production of missiles and excavators, even if this was not enough.

Xie Kai looked at him, the corners of his mouth moved, what could he say?

If there is a stable source, no one wants to do such a thing.

"When will the negotiations with Pakistan continue? If there is no hurry, let's go to the 691 factory first?" Xie Kai didn't know how to solve it now.

It takes a lot of time to get some of it through Pakistan.

The talk must be discussed, how much they can supply, no matter how high the conditions are, as long as they can accept it, Xie Kai thinks that they must accept it.

From the outside, no matter how it is, it is more reassuring that it can not produce it by itself.

"We can go there first, it will be difficult for the Pakistani side to reach an agreement in a short period of time. Zheng Yucheng understood what Xie Kai meant.

Don't miss the negotiation with Pakistan.

In the 404 base, it is completely impossible to provide the conditions for the production of high-performance chips, and the domestic technology in this area itself is backward.

Factory 691 has always been a unit that provides high-performance control chips for aerospace missiles and rockets, and if they can't solve it, 404 will be in real trouble.

"Bring the drawings and let Shen Haipeng go over with him. Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.

Xie Kai nodded, Shen Haipeng is in charge of this part, and he will definitely have to go to the technical communication in the future, and it will be beneficial to take him with him when he is in contact for the first time.

"They're going to receive us? Don't go to eat behind closed doors. That's what Xie Kai is most afraid of.

In this year, the units of technical cattle have projects in their hands and a lot of production tasks, and they are living a prosperous life.

For the door-to-door business, it has always been ignored.

"No, I communicated with them on the phone before, and they were very interested in this cooperation, and they were learning from the production line of Factory 742 after they were introduced. Wang Guilin asked Xie Kai to dispel his doubts.

"Factory 691 does not have an imported production line, the cost of producing ordinary chips is too high, and life is not as good as imagined. ”
