Chapter 294: Introduction

Although the Spring Festival of the new year is more festive than ever, the festive atmosphere cannot be maintained forever, and the scenario predicted by pessimistic economists will certainly not last long, and all work must continue to get back on track.

Regarding the conversation at Mr. Wen's house during the previous Chinese New Year, it was mainly based on communication, and as for the research and development of graphics workstations, Wang Zhengguo did not let go until the end of his departure.

As for the current British Acorn Company, Wang Zhengguo will go to the UK soon if he has time, maybe he can go to visit and inspect, although there are enemies between peers, but Kaiyang and Acorn are currently in their respective countries, and they can't fight together, so how can we talk about competition?

Acorn's desktop CPU was only introduced in '85, and that's where the focus should be, as it's a 32-bit microprocessor.

If only from the technical content of the product itself, this CPU uses the RISC reduced instruction set, which was just popular in the eighties, it can definitely be regarded as the current first-class level, although it also has certain defects, such as the clock frequency (main frequency) is only half of another 32-bit processor launched in the same year, 80386, but this is still difficult to hide its technological advancement.

Of course, the low clock frequency is not without benefits, in addition to low power consumption, another benefit is that the design of the product is likely to be limited by the process, which means that to make this processor, you don't actually need the top semiconductor processing technology like Intel.

But what really worries Wang Zhengguo is that the British have limited the clock frequency of this processor to half of the 80386 processor, only 6MHz, and its starting point may not be to reduce the process requirements.

The most feared thing is that these Britons are deliberately reducing the clock frequency for the sake of low power consumption, otherwise if the process technology is not advanced enough, how can they come up with a 32-bit processor, a top product in the mid-80s.

Since I can't figure it out, I just don't care what the British CPU is based on for what reason, and now just by guessing, it will definitely not be able to figure out why, and the result will not be known until the time comes.

86 years of work has been in full swing, before the decision to let Shuhang Optics do sublimation color technology, naturally this has to go to Shuhang Optics to deal with related problems as soon as possible after the beginning of the year.

I am still familiar with the place, but after three years of rapid development, the company is basically stable, and the rules and regulations are sound.

From time to time, the assembly workshop can also see the newly packaged glasses off the assembly line and loaded, and the products produced after these years will be sent to all parts of the country through the railway channel as soon as possible.

It is said that after Ding Yibo visited Kaiyang Semiconductor, inspired by Kaiyang's set of almost perverted production environment requirements, the camera lens factory also made the highest treatment of environmental standards in the same industry.

Obviously, the lenses produced are low-end products, but the production environment is high, such as the production of aerospace-grade optical products, which may also be regarded as the characteristics of Shuhang.

Wang Zhengguo doesn't think this is a big fuss, at present, Kaiyang Semiconductor produces optical devices, and the requirements for precision are never low, not to mention that the precision of the product line will continue to improve in the future, and at that time you can see the benefits of paying attention to details.

Overall, I am very satisfied, and Shuhang Optics is at least no problem where it can be seen, and even far exceeds the high standards of its peers.

The company's own technical department has a small scale, dozens of scientific research teams can roughly meet the needs of the current technical research, in addition to the glasses development group, lens development group, the newly established digital optoelectronic group is also a small scale.

This time, in addition to communicating with Ding Yibo, Wang Zhengguo also had to tell these R&D personnel about his plan for the future digital reflex camera, so he directly called the important backbone members of the optoelectronic group to hold a meeting in the company's conference room.

......

"Regarding the camera business, this year we are going to start the pre-research plan, specifically, I made a reference on the technical planning of Shuhang digital camera, the information is placed in front of everyone's table, each can open it first, I want to talk to Mr. Ding first. ”

Arrange for all the technical backbones to read the information first, and Wang Zhengguo will talk to Ding Yibo first.

"Since we are planning to develop a digital camera, it must be indispensable to have an output terminal between digital photos and physical photos, and this is not satisfied with the silver salt processing technology used in traditional film cameras, so I plan to launch the sublimation color printing technology, which is more suitable for high-quality digital color photo printing. ”

Since there has been a plan to make digital camera products for a long time, Ding Yibo has of course also organized developers to make detailed plans for the entire digital camera peripheral industry, and the output of digital photos into paper is an important link that cannot be ignored.

But!

Since Chairman Wang has proposed a new technical solution, it is better to listen to it again, and then compare the technical solution route set internally by the company before, and choose the best party to invest funds.

"Chairman Wang, you said that this problem, the company has indeed encountered it, but what is the situation of this sublimation color technology you said, our intelligence technology department has collected all foreign camera-related technologies, and I am sure I have never heard of it. ”

The technology, which only matured in the early nineties, is of course impossible to be concerned by Shu's intelligence department now, and Wang Zhengguo does not care about it.

I thought about it carefully: "To be exact, sublimation color technology has not yet appeared, its predecessor is called heat transfer color printing technology, which has appeared in previous years, it seems that it was only last year that a small Japanese company realized the commercialization of technology, I heard that the product was introduced by the Americans just after it came out, and I want to come to Japan to the importance of this thing is not very clear, we can try to see if we can introduce it." ”

Sometimes I have to admit that Japan in the 80s was really productive in the technology industry, and all kinds of technologies were like a blowout. The previous ultrasonic motor and this thermal transfer technology are more straightforward, and the Japanese digital camera industry was able to dominate most of the global market in the future, which is inseparable from the overall strength of the country's science and technology and industry.

Wang Zhengguo wants to overturn the Japanese camera industry after more than ten years, and now he needs to take the opportunity to introduce various key technologies of digital cameras when they are not yet taken seriously.

"We want to introduce Japanese technology again? Last time we had introduced ultrasonic motors, it seems that Japan's technical reserves are quite rich, but it just so happens that we still have a sum of yen left on hand and are worrying about how to spend it.
