Chapter 170: Intelligent Mechanical Laboratory
The 20T hard disk is the killer feature that Sun Cheng threw out.
He has investigated that in the real world, only a few hard disk giants such as Seagate have the ability to manufacture more than 20T hard disks, but if the cost is taken into account, Seagate's 10T hard disk, which has begun to be gradually produced on a large scale, can barely be regarded as a qualified product.
Because its agency estimates that the manufacturing cost is more than $280, the price in North America can be reduced to $460, which is an acceptable price for the general public.
Instead of the 128T/SSD hard drive test that SanDisk Labs once exposed, it is said that the cost alone exceeded 170,000 US dollars.
The large-scale production technology of 10T hard disk is not yet fully mature, and the hard disk giants such as Seagate may have a larger capacity than 10T hard disk technology in their laboratories, but it should not be visible in three or five years, after all, the next few years will be the golden age of 10T hard disk.
At this time, throwing a 20T hard disk, Sun Cheng's meaning was very clear.
My new technology is very mature, and I have the ability to manufacture it without your participation in the Southern University of Technology.
The few hard drives on the table, small were less than half the size of a palm, and only the thickness of three one-round coins; The 20T hard drive is undoubtedly the largest, the size of an adult's palm, and even the thickness is more than a finger and a half wide.
But compared with all similar products on the market, these hard drives brought by Sun Cheng are much thinner and smaller.
Professor Hong Lei and several other professors from the School of Electronic Engineering are not theoretical masters in the field of domestic semiconductors, integrated circuits and chips, after coming forward, several people picked up a hard disk and stared at the shell carefully for a while, but unfortunately failed to detect any traces of the brand, and hurriedly said to Shen Peiyuan: "Principal, can you borrow a computer?" ”
After saying that, several pairs of eyes were fixed on the laptop on the desk in front of them.
The easiest way to verify the authenticity of these hard disks is to directly verify the capacity of the hard disks.
There is no professional detection software and tools in the office, but although there are some means to tamper with the memory data displayed on the hard disk, this kind of unscam wants to show off in front of experts, it is really a big laugh.
Shen Peiyuan looked at the hard drives held by several professors, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
He's also looked up a lot of this in the past two days, so he also knows what it means to be a company that has mastered the new technology of hard drives!
The market as well as profiteering!
This investment is different from the entrepreneurial project support of Southern University of Technology and the project support of the university, to put it bluntly, it is to give you a sum of money in the early stage and a little support for the site and equipment, and the idea of casting a wide net to catch fish is at best, and the support is only tens of thousands of yuan at best.
If the project is successful, the return will naturally not be less, and there will be no less direct donations and donations, indirect fame improvement, and employment guarantee for graduates.
However, the failure did not have much impact on the school.
Looking at the entire Southern University of Technology, a total of four or five hundred approved projects have been approved since the first opening of the entrepreneurial project support, but the price paid by the Southern University of Technology is only about 10 million.
To be honest, this amount of money is not even as good as a month's funding for a research institute directly under the Southern University of Technology, but under the big waves, more than a dozen companies have still been successfully incubated.
Although none of them has a market value of more than 100 million, it still brings a good reputation to Nanjing University of Technology and solves some employment problems.
It's just an innovative enterprise with a market value of no more than 100 million, if the young man in front of him really invented a new hard disk technology, then the future is indeed unlimited, maybe the next Seagate, Western Digital, SanDisk such a hard disk giant, but even if there is one-tenth of the size of the three of them, it is also a giant enterprise with a market value of more than two billion US dollars, if the Southern University of Technology can grasp the opportunity, it is not impossible to follow the feast.
At the moment, he nodded to the professors, pushed the laptop on the desk in front of them, and motioned to use it casually.
At the same time, his eyes couldn't help but look at Sun Cheng, and his face was a little serious.
"Sun Cheng, right...... About the hard disk several professors will then verify, before I heard Xiao Xu say, you want to cooperate with the school on the technical issues of the hard disk, can you talk about it in detail? ”
It is indeed not easy to say that the new president who can win the position of president of Nanjing University of Technology from a bunch of competitors is indeed not simple, obviously he glanced at a few school professors who were constantly fiddling with the hard disk in front of the computer from time to time, but he couldn't see any change on his serious face.
Sun Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and the opponent kicked the ball back at his feet in a blink of an eye, which is indeed a good calculation, one can take the opportunity to touch his hole cards, and the other is to regain the initiative.
couldn't help but look at the other party, and the blandness of seeing through everything in his eyes made Shen Peiyuan suddenly have the illusion that he was completely seen through.
Enduring the discomfort, he was thinking about whether to speak again, who knew that at this time, Sun Cheng suddenly replied, "Our request is very simple, we need the school to give me a laboratory listing qualification, and help our company say a few words at the Nandu National Supercomputing Center." In exchange, I will completely hand over the manufacturing technology of 10T hard disk to the school within half a year, and the 20T hard disk and new memory technology can be handed over to the school within one year......"
After speaking, he looked at Shen Peiyuan again.
If you want to say that the conditions you prescribed, they are actually not as good as you imagined.
Don't look at the largest capacity currently on the market is only 10T hard disk, in fact, the three giants of hard disk - Seagate, Western Digital and SanDisk, no matter which one has the ability to immediately manufacture no less than 100T hard disk, for example, Western Digital has launched a 16T hard disk large-scale production program after Seagate's 10T hard disk was sold, but the cost cannot be reduced.
Judging from the decline of HDD mechanical hard disks and the development trajectory of SSD solid state drives, before 2020, hard disks below 10T will be eliminated on a large scale, and the possibility of 20-40T becoming the new mainstream of the market is extremely high.
Therefore, what Sun Cheng took out to trade was just a mass technology that would be popularized in a few years.
In contrast, he has Cybertron's hard disk black technology in his hands, and the cost of the hard disk made in this way is extremely low, Sun Cheng asked Atlas to design a 100T hard disk when he was in the [Transformers] world, and if it is produced on an assembly line, the cost can be controlled to less than a hundred dollars.
Really good things, he can't take them out and make a deal.
Shen Peiyuan's heart was moved after hearing this, he looked at the young student in front of him, and secretly laughed in his heart, 'Young in the end'.
It is indeed not easy to apply for the listing qualification of a laboratory compared to ordinary enterprises, but it is not difficult for a top science and engineering institution like Southern University of Technology.
As one of the initiators, Nandu University of Technology is also the main technology provider of the Nandu National Supercomputing Center, so it naturally has a lot of right to speak.
What's more, the majority of the external procurement of the supercomputing center is CPU, GPU, motherboard and memory, if there is a better choice, who will continue to stupidly buy expensive products with far inferior performance abroad.
In fact, not only China, most foreign universities have their own industries, among which the more influential comprehensive universities, the more enterprises and companies held under their names, and the Southern University of Technology is no exception.
Therefore, the technology transfer promised by Sun Cheng made his heart flutter.
Shen Peiyuan is not greedy for money or lustful, but he has a soft spot for power.
He knows very well that if there is another world-class hard disk company under the umbrella of Nanjing University of Technology during his tenure, it will not only be more secure to be re-elected as the president of Nanjing University of Technology after four years, but it will not even be able to go further.
At that moment, he had a plan in his heart!
Hurriedly looked at Hong Lei and the other three professors who were still busy in front of his notebook, as if he noticed his sight, a professor who was fiddling with the computer raised his head, his face flushed with excitement and did not dissipate, "Principal, we have checked it with software, and there is no problem with the capacity of the hard disk." If we can, we hope to bring it back to the college's lab for further testing. ”
Sun Cheng nodded inexorably, even if the Southern University of Technology dismantles these hard drives, it is not afraid of technology leakage, because the technical process used in the most critical core of these hard drives designed by Atlas comes from the planet Cybertron, which is a very different process from the earth, unless there is a detailed process provided by him, they can be cracked within a few years by groping.
When Shen Peiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
It is confirmed that there is no problem with the hard drive brought by Sun Cheng, which means that he may have really mastered some new technology.
At the moment, his voice couldn't help but be a little more eager, and he took the initiative to say: "Southern University of Technology supports students to start their own businesses, especially for students who really have technology. Since Sun Cheng has invented a new reading technology, this is a good thing for China's hard disk industry, and we should give strong support. In this way, if your company starts large-scale production, I will personally help you contact the National Supercomputing Center to win orders. As for the laboratory, you go back and prepare a complete document and hand it to me, but you don't know the main topic of the laboratory? ”
Sun Cheng's eyes moved, "Intelligent machinery!" ”
