Chapter 291: Rejection

The development of optical-grade PC translucent parts, this is already a big fat meat that Shuhang Optics must eat in its mouth, and Mr. Wen is willing to take a step back and accept ordinary PC materials to make windshields and cockpit canopies for prototype testing, so as to save more money for the project, which is of course the best.

"Yes, then I promise that there will be no problem, when the windshield and cockpit canopy are needed here, Shu Airlines can make it when it comes, and ensure that there will be no mistakes." ”

Calculate that this time is a full three years have passed, and Shuhang Optics has finally achieved what Wang Zhengguo and Ding Yibo said back then, not only to mix in the civilian market, but also to defeat the 123 factory in the field of aviation-grade translucent parts.

And now it is, of course: the winner is decided!

Not only has it successfully won the order for the windshield and cockpit canopy of No. 10, but once the technology has made a breakthrough, the Super Seven fighter under development also makes no sense to continue to use the traditional three-piece windshield.

Even though the translucent parts branch of the 123 factory is producing the J-7 series of translucent parts, the development of the super 7 project is no longer dominated by the design of the 123 factory, but by the newly established Shudu Aircraft Development Center to coordinate the entire design work, so naturally there is no need to continue to think so much about the 123 factory.

To put it simply, at this time, the super seven project is the same as the ten, and the principle of subsystem performance priority must be implemented, so that Shuhang Optics will definitely have a great chance to win the super seven windshield and cockpit cover orders, which is a typical cross-generational competitive advantage, and it is not easy to make up for it by relying on the relationship between the son and the son of the light transmission factory.

As for whether the light transmission factory is also developing arc windshield technology, this is unknown for the time being, but one thing can be guaranteed: the current progress of Shuhang Optics is definitely in the leading state in China, and this alone is completely enough.

"It's best to be able to guarantee that there will be no mistakes, but I called you today, the main reason is not these, I heard that Kaiyang has been able to mass-produce CPU microprocessors, I think the future military microprocessors don't have to worry too much. I am looking for you this time because now the military has put forward the demand for simulation training equipment on the Tenth, which must first have a powerful computer as the core to operate, so I will think of you first. ”

Speaking of which, it actually means something, and of course Wang Zhengguo can understand it.

It is indeed a matter of course to develop a high-performance computer for the flight simulator project of No. 10, anyway, the requirements for computer performance are not outrageous, and the problem that can be solved by a high-performance graphics workstation is probably a higher level than the Yaoguang 2 under development.

Well, that's right, it's indeed a level higher, but this so-called "one level" is a bit bigger.

Wang Zhengguo has no resistance to the development of high-performance graphics workstations, this kind of thing belongs to dual-use equipment, and if you really want to count it, I am afraid that it is mainly more civilian, and he will naturally not be pedantic enough to insist on not letting Yaoguang do this thing.

"This is the rhythm of preparing to kick the most difficult core part of the simulator to Yaoguang? I said Mr. Wen, you have also been to various countries to investigate, and you know that the importance of aircraft simulation simulators is true, so it is okay for Yaoguang to develop a high-end graphics workstation, but the problem is that the current domestic market in this area is not large, and the input and output are definitely not proportional. ”

The high-end graphics workstation is the core of the military-grade flight simulation simulator, which is the nerve center of the entire simulator, which is responsible for the data computing of the whole system, and the flight simulator is a device with high real-time requirements and a huge amount of information exchange, and the accuracy requirements of the mechanical part are secondary.

The most perverted part is that this thing requires high-precision real-time output of simulation animation.

Generally speaking, the production of high-precision computer animation is already very difficult, and the performance requirements of computer equipment are definitely not low, but if you want to add the word "real-time", it will really kill people, and naturally the requirements for computers will continue to double.

Graphics workstation research and development belongs to the most challenging equipment in the computer workstation, strictly speaking, the graphics workstation is a branch developed on the basis of the early graphics display terminal, and the ordinary PC-level graphics card adheres to the small size, low power consumption route, the workstation is another extreme: improve performance at all costs.

How complex is a professional graphics workstation, let's first roughly count the various chips integrated with this thing: including geometric operation chips, floating point operation chips, linear operation chips, integer operation chips......

Anyway, the more advanced the workstation, the more professional-grade chips are installed accordingly, and even the video memory they use is specially designed, including texture operation cache, frame buffer, ......

To put it mildly, these professional chip designs alone are enough to completely paralyze Kaiyang Semiconductor, which is currently overstretched in terms of manpower, not to mention the design of a dedicated cache, and these things have not been laid out at all before for the current Kaiyang Semiconductor, so how can it be said that things are developed?

Mr. Wen is a master in aircraft design, and he also knows that the flight simulation system is a necessary thing for future flight training, but when it comes to computers, it is actually a state of half-understanding, not to mention that this is to develop a professional high-end graphics processing workstation.

Adding up Shuhang Optics and Yaoguang Electronics, it can be regarded as just narrowing the gap between the domestic independent PC computer industry and the United States within ten years, and if you want to develop more high-end equipment, you have to wait for some time to accumulate.

Of course, everything is not absolute, if Yaoguang and Kaiyang are united, coupled with the full support of many domestic research units, everyone will work together to tackle key problems, and maybe within a few years can also make a usable graphics workstation, but now the government is really willing to invest heavily in this, and another conference battle?

Wang Zhengguo has already considered that there is no need for too many high-end graphics workstations in China, and the market scale is very limited, and then this simulated flight simulation system, the actual army is not not bad without it, it is nothing more than a little more trouble in pilot training.

"Mr. Wen, the current situation is that we do not yet have the ability to develop high-end graphics workstations, if you really feel the need to develop a flight simulation system, then I suggest to take a step back and use the 3D graphics display card that we are developing in Kaiyang to solve the needs of graphics processing. ”

The use of 3D graphics processing graphics cards is barely maintained, which is the only way to solve the problem before the current inability to develop high-end graphics workstations, which is better than nothing, after all, Kaiyang Semiconductor now has a mature team developing graphics cards, so this technical route is relatively easier to implement.
