Chapter 253: Self-Made
"You mean, you can get CCD from other sources?"
Bai Shouchen breathed a little heavily, CCD, called charge-coupled device in Chinese, is an integrated circuit with many neatly arranged capacitors that can sense light and convert images into digital signals.
In the military, after the introduction of CCD, the delay integration and multiplexing of the output signal of the infrared detector array on the focal plane can be solved, and the infrared focal plane array is completely practical, and the signal noise ratio and information rate of the system are also greatly improved, so as to form a new generation of infrared detector components, with an assembly density of more than 10,000, and integrated components with signal functions such as detection and correlation convolution, signal averaging, and adaptive filtering, which can be said to be a cross-era product.
That is to say, with the CCD chip, the infrared detector on the C-801 missile can not only be made smaller, but also become more powerful, not to mention a seven-fold increase in accuracy, even ten times is not a problem.
"Take a look at this first. ”
Meng Jianye did not immediately answer Bai Shouchen's question, but stood up, took out an envelope from the drawer next to him, and handed a two-centimeter-square chip to Bai Shouchen, who was a little surprised.
"This ......"
Bai Shouchen put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "It looks like a CCD chip on an optical product in Japan, not quite a military product." ”
How to say that Bai Shouchen is now the technical leader of the C-801 missile project, and the main work is to make in-depth improvements to this missile, and infrared terminal guidance is the focus of improvement, so Bai Shouchen is a treasure of various CCD chips at present, and he knows the approximate use and origin at a glance.
Meng Jianye couldn't help but nodded: "Bai Suo's good eyesight is indeed the CCD chip on Sony's M8 home camera in Japan." ”
When he heard this, Bai Shouchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really a civilian product, and their Coastal Defense Missile Research Institute had not thought about using civilian products to replace military chips with improved performance.
However, when I tried it, I found that there were great drawbacks.
First of all, most of the civilian products are visible light chips, and the special infrared chips can be said to be very few; the anti-interference ability of the civilian products is too poor, the ability to capture signals is too slow, and it is easy to be interfered with on the ever-changing battlefield; and finally, the power of the civilian products is insufficient, and the distance to the target signal is too short, and it cannot meet the requirements of pre-locking.
Because of this, Bai Shouchen tried several times, and then completely gave up this idea, otherwise there would be no need to simplify the infrared terminal guidance system on the Seahawk-2 missiles exported to Iraq, and it would not be better to directly optimize the civilian CCD chip?
But he didn't expect them to prove that the ineffective method was taken out by Meng Jianye like a treasure, so that Bai Shouchen didn't know whether to say that Meng Jianye was smart or confused, even if he was a cheater, he had to investigate it before he started.
So Bai Shouchen took a deep breath and was ready to talk bitterly, but before he could speak, Meng Jianye's next sentence made Bai Shouchen completely block the words in his throat.
"Both the style and structure are very similar to those produced in Japan, except that the chip on the array uses 32*32 bits of mercury cadmium tellurium, 3 microns...... Eh, Cypress ...... What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with you?...... Xiao Zhong, go and call the doctor, Director Bai ......"
"No...... I'm fine!"
Meng Jianye saw Bai Shouchen standing there straight, his face flushed and he didn't move, and his heart was sudden, for fear that this person had a cerebral hemorrhage or heart disease, so he hurriedly called the assistant next door to call the doctor to come and have a look.
As soon as he wanted to shout, Bai Shouchen grabbed his arm, his eyes stared at Meng Jianye, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, like an earthworm...... What did you just say? That chip in your hand is a 32*32-bit mercury cadmium telluride array?"
Looking at Bai Shouchen's appearance, Meng Jianye was really afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly nodded: "That's right." ”
"Military?"
"Yes!"
"How did you get it?"
"Linghua factory. ”
"ADLINK...... Made?"
The last tone, Bai Shouchen was shouted out by a high octave, containing shock, surprise and indescribable disbelief, there is no way that mercury cadmium tellurium is the cutting-edge material of the current military infrared detector, and it is also the best exclusive medium for military CCD.
Because of this, the mainstream CCDs used in foreign countries are all mercury cadmium tellurium arrays without exception.
China has already made a breakthrough in the mercury cadmium tellurium array, but in terms of chips, it has been thrown away by foreign countries in recent years, and it is simply unable to manufacture its own military-grade CCD, which has stopped many potential equipment, and the C801 missile is the most typical representative.
So when Bai Shouchen learned that the domestic ADLINK Electronic Equipment Factory produced its own military-grade CCD, his excitement can be imagined.
"Xiao Meng, don't lie to me, is it really produced by that Linghua factory in Central China? This is not a joke, it is related to the future of a lot of equipment, you have to tell the truth......
Bai Shouchen was like a chatterbox, and he chattered endlessly, and now it was Meng Jianye's turn to call out an octave treble, not only because he was asked endlessly, but the problem was that both hands were about to cut off their arms.
"Kashiwa...... You...... You do it first...... I...... It hurts ......."
Seeing that Meng Jianye's face was about to twist into twist, Bai Shouchen came to his senses, and the strength in his hands was too big under his excitement, so he quickly let go, Meng Jianye looked at it, okay, both arms were pinched red.
"$50,000 for a chip!"
Meng Jianye, who grinned in pain, was not polite, and directly opened his mouth to ask for money.
"Don't you say, don't you divide it?" Bai Shouchen was also unambiguous.
"You don't need to sell tiers, but I always have to recover the cost of chip manufacturing, right? 50,000 US dollars, more than one-third less than foreign imports, you can be content with it. ”
"Thirty thousand!"
"Forty-five thousand!"
……
In this way, the old and the young bargained like the vegetable market, arguing for half an hour, and finally after Meng Jianye raised his arm and showed the evidence of Bai Shouchen's "murder", he finally put the price at $25,000 per chip.
After that, Bai Shouchen took the sample and said that he took it back to see if the price was worth it, and then he left satisfied, without even asking a word about production capacity.
The reason is very simple, even the price has been discussed, and mass production is naturally not a problem.
In fact, it is true that since Meng Jianye began to help the Linghua factory, the first focus of investment is to cooperate with Hu Chong's team to develop a military-grade 32*32-bit mercury cadmium tellurium array CCD in combination with the circuit structure of Japanese civilian CCD.
