Chapter 5: The Culprit of the Z80 Chip (1)

Ye Kai looked at the other party's swaying fat body, and the shoes under his feet continued to make a 'pop, pop' and walked towards the door, but replied lightly: "Good go, don't send it!" ”

Ye Kai really didn't understand, the fat man who was dressed like the neighbor's uncle, there was such a century-old shop behind him, but it was a pity that he went back and forth, and finally put his ancestors' industry into it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And Ye Kai's own father paid the price of his life because he lost his hard-earned money, so he felt guilty and couldn't be freed, but I don't know if when the fat man eats the fruits of himself and loses his family business, will he be like Ye's father, at the cost of his life?

It's a pity, looking at the fat man's fat like a sleeping mat, he is a person who is accustomed to pleasure, greedy for life and afraid of death, and those who are greedy for life and afraid of death are often wide-hearted and fat, is this a cycle?

Ye Kai couldn't figure it out himself, shook his head, returned to the workbench, looked at the circuit board on the desktop that had been connected to the cables, and had no intention of testing for the time being, he bent down and took out a palm-sized piece of white plastic foam from the drawer at the lowest end of the workbench, with a few black chips two fingers wide and one finger long inserted on it, this is the protagonist of the business that made Ye's father finally pay for his life----- Z80 chip.

Ye Kai took off a chip and played with it in his hand, the cold chip pins and the smooth hard plastic texture of the chip shell made Ye Kai fall into deep thought.

The Z80 chip that Ye Kai is playing with in his hand is the first generation of 16-bit Z80 chip produced by Zilog Company, which should be called the Z8000 chip to be precise.

In the previous life, the chip introduced by Huaxia Continental at the end of the 80s was actually Z80, which was the first generation of 8-bit Z80 chip, because Intel's 386CPU chip completely replaced the status of Zilog's chips, making the country's national defense science and technology stride, and abandoning Zilog's products from the civilian market to the professional market.

You know, since the founder of Zilog company was dissatisfied with Intel's exploitation and patent encroachment, with the help of oil tycoons, with his own patented technology, he made a high-quality and low-cost Z80 chip, replacing Intel's 8088 chip in the market, and the next few years have almost overwhelmed Intel, especially later, the technical backbone of Motora Semiconductor's R&D team left and joined another company to produce the famous MC68000 chip. Intel's life is even worse.

Intel's chip is not only expensive, but also after the comparison, the performance seems to be inferior, Pingguo's computer has used Z80 chip, but his follow-up development and technical support obviously can't keep up, or the designer himself is also relatively vague in his head, so the main CPU of Pingguo computer in the early stage has always been the use of Motora's chip, because he provides a detailed technical manual for follow-up application practitioners, to help practitioners who use other chips to better apply CPU.

Wads, another founder of Pingguo Company, has developed a conversion circuit board based on Z80 chips, so that some software that does not support Apple computers can run perfectly on Apple computers through this circuit board, which makes Jobs, who has always insisted on being closed, very dissatisfied, and the cause of the irreconcilable contradiction between the two began at this time.

Because Joss appreciates the most is IBB's business rules, that is, all their products are developed, designed, and manufactured by themselves, and other people's ideas cannot be added to their own products.

Then, what Jos didn't expect was that IBB, which has always pursued 'looking inward', finally extended an olive branch to Intel to purchase chips, which made Intel re-establish its determination to stick to the CPU road, and sent Intel to the list of top 500 companies. But it also paid its due price, that is, the licensing protocol of the CPU instruction set!

And these booming CPU companies have made great contributions to the military industry of the United States.

The Mi army began to equip these chips on various fighters, which could carry out more than 200 micro-controls per second under the control of chip computers, and even rookies could fly out of the air combat maneuvers that the Soviet Union's top pilots could not reach.

The United States people apply the chip to the scope of the main station tank, so that the tank can ensure the stability of the shooting platform with high-frequency micro-control, even if it is driving at high speed, the tank gunner can still see the target image without shaking and shoot stably.

The chip is applied in the radar, so that the United States Navy has developed the "Aegis" class missile cruiser, which can process thousands of targets at the same time, and the chip is applied to the missile, with the help of positioning instruments, the thruster of the missile can be continuously corrected in the chip computer, so that the error of hitting the target is infinitely reduced.

At the same time, the people of the United States apply chips in the manufacturing industry, and realize the control of machinery and equipment through chip computers, especially the machine tools known as "industrial machine tools". The improvement of these industries has enabled the United States to invest a large number of people in light industry and the tertiary industry, so that sufficient and cheap consumer goods and various high-tech civilian goods have emerged in an endless stream, filling the market of the Chinese people, and making the lives of ordinary people in Europe and the United States usher in earth-shaking changes again.

The fact that the CPU chip has made the military and economy of the United States stronger and stronger has made the people of the United States, who have always regarded the Chinese mainland as a subconscious enemy, in order to force the Chinese science and technology to be in a backward state forever, together with other countries in Europe and the United States and countries that are not friendly with China, to form the so-called 'Batumi' organization, and jointly form an invisible blockade against the introduction of high-tech technology into the Chinese mainland.

Therefore, the Chinese mainland through various ways, bypassing the Batumi organization, trying to introduce a variety of CPU chips, but unfortunately the evil Mi people, do not open the retail market of chips to ordinary people, although you can buy from the manufacturer in other ways, but the number will not be much, often only a few pieces, we are not difficult to see from those technology giants when they were young, through the experience of writing letters to manufacturers to ask for spare parts, these key things, the retail market is simply rare to see. Because, they are basically aimed at downstream manufacturers, less than a certain number is not to be discussed.

Not only is it not necessary to talk about it, but the price is also very expensive, so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it, and even large enterprises feel unbearable!
