Chapter Seventy-Four: Ke Mingxiong's Cold Trembling [First Update]
The electronics industry, like many industries, requires more elaborate things than they produce.
However, at this stage, the imitation factory of the small workshop has not yet developed to the point of wrapping it from head to toe, and it has to be dusted several times when entering the workshop.
Under Ke Mingxiong's ass is Zhang Xiaomazha, with a wooden shelf on his head and tiles, a cigarette in his mouth, and his hand is dismantling the latest arcade machine.
He himself can't be said to be completely uninterested in arcade games, but his interest in arcade games is far less than the hardware itself.
The thrill of playing games is far less enjoyable for him than figuring out how the hardware works. Imagine that with nothing, with a handful of sand and a lump of metal, you can make the electrons run according to your own will and get the results you want.
This kind of design circuit, like the pleasure of the creator, how can it be compared to a mere video game.
In Ke Mingxiong's own view, this is like ordinary people who care about money and material things in the real world, while scientists are exploring the ultimate meaning of the universe. It's not a grade at all.
However, scientists also need funding, and simple ideals cannot support their progress. And Ke Mingxiong, who aspires to become an electronic creator, also needs money, so he engaged in the path of dismantling the world created by God in other electronic universes and imitating their universe with a little resistance in his heart.
However, when he really started to crack the hardware mystery of an arcade machine, this shame was already thrown by him to count the snowflakes in Siberia.
"Why is the integration of this machine so low?" Ke Mingxiong said to himself when he disassembled the machine and saw that it was densely packed inside, and the workmanship was "solid".
You know, almost all businesses make making money their first priority. On the premise of meeting the product specifications, the products launched will naturally save money and how to come. If there is no clear lower limit, the lower limit can penetrate from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere for the sake of profit manufacturers. This is probably one of the reasons for the birth of industry standards.
Even if the standard is not very reliable, it is stronger than believing in the conscience of the capitalist.
With the maturity of the arcade industry, both large arcade manufacturers and small factories are more inclined to use general electronic components.
Because the production of common components is higher, the cost of the individual is also lower, and more profit can be guaranteed.
If the substrate of an arcade machine can be the size of a finger cover, they will definitely not make it the size of a turtle cover.
The multi-layer substrate used in the new arcade machine of Wanhu is not highly integrated in Ke Mingxiong's view, and it is completely inconsistent with the laws of the market.
"Is it a new way to prevent theft?" Ke Mingxiong thought.
Although the cost of general-purpose components is reduced, it also faces a problem, that is, this part can be purchased by cats and dogs.
Even a small roadside factory like Ke Mingxiong can make a similar arcade machine as long as he purchases components and solders them with a soldering iron.
What, isn't every roadside factory a technical master like Ke Mingxiong?
It's simple.
For example, Ke Mingxiong himself is also doing it, which is to sell a complete set of production plans for pirated arcade machines. From the purchased component model to the welding process of the assembly line. Even if the boss is illiterate, and even if the skilled workers under him are semi-literate, they can make an arcade machine decently.
This is also something secretly advocated by the Taiwan (Harmony) Bay authorities, and the development of the electronics industry is always a blood transfusion that will not work in the end, and it will eventually lead to hematopoiesis.
Without these manufacturers of pirated arcade machines, how would the electronics industry in Taiwan (Harmony) Bay rise?
For example, Ke Mingxiong, a skilled and almost self-taught folk electronic hardware master, is also recorded above.
With the number of jobs he has indirectly created and the number of electronic components consumed, he may be on the list if there are ten outstanding young people in Taiwan (Harmony) Bay.
Since the use of generic components will lower the threshold for piracy, if you think about it backwards, it is natural to use non-generic electronic components to improve the door opening, at least to filter out those small pirated factories that have little technical ability.
Ke Mingxiong checked the substrates one by one, unplugged the cables, and took a good look at the substrate status of the new arcade machine.
Integrated circuits have a different kind of beauty in the eyes of almost anyone. Maybe one day it will enter the garbage heap like a steam machine, and there will be special literary and artistic works for nostalgia, and even a special type of art will be produced.
However, in the eyes of connoisseurs, it is not only the beauty of order. Ke Mingxiong saw two capital abbreviated letters "CN" from the small print on the substrate.
"CN?" Ke Mingxiong thought about where the abbreviation was, and it seemed very familiar. He didn't know how many circuit boards with the abbreviation "JP" had seen, and "CN" was really rare.
Yes!
Come to think of it!
It's the mainland!
But...... When did the mainland start making arcade machines?
Just as Ke Mingxiong was deep in thought, the blue youth next to him asked, "Mingxiong, what's wrong? This machine is not easy to imitate? It's okay, don't worry." I can guarantee that we are the first few people in Taiwan (Harmony) Bay to get this arcade machine. You can't design a replica scheme, and no one else can do it faster. ”
Skipping the blue youth's reassuring words as if they were nonsense, Ke Mingxiong raised his head and replied, "These circuit boards are made by the mainland. I'm not sure if the above component was also made in the mainland. ”
"The mainland is so poor over there, and the old king next door is so poor that he has married a daughter-in-law for so many years, and it is not easy to marry a mainland girl. That Dead Ah Lu will also build circuit boards?" said the blue youth with a look of disdain.
Ke Mingxiong does not have the same arrogance and prejudice as the blue youth, and in his opinion, the mainland has great potential. The simplest point is that there are many people.
He believes that there is a probability of the emergence of any talent, and the probability of the emergence of an industry genius may be 1 in 100 million, and Taiwan (Harmony) Bay may have to accumulate for many years before there can be a probability, and the number of people in the mainland is more, and the time for the emergence of geniuses will be shorter.
As a hobbyist of electronic hardware, he is familiar with the history of electronics. Continents have never been deserts of electronics. It's just that it learned from the Soviet Union and took the route of a large and medium-sized machine. When they did not realize the significance of personal computers and did not have enough reserves of technical strength, they opened the country and allowed electronic products to run rampant in the United States, resulting in a complete stagnation of their own technological development.
As far as Ke Mingxiong knows, when the mainland and the United States were closest to the electronics industry, there was only a five-year gap. However, after several years of desolation, there may now be a gap of twenty or thirty years.
Who would have thought that a character who had abandoned his martial arts would come back to the mountain?
That's why Ke Mingxiong was surprised.
Thinking about the vast sea of people on the mainland, Ke Mingxiong felt that he was a flat boat, and he couldn't help but shudder.
