Chapter 101: The Decline of the Giants
In fact, with the specificity of the master company, Chaowei company has also been impacted; It's just that Chaowei is a low positioning, so the impact on them is not as big as Intel, so the pressure is much less, so now we are comparing with Intel to see who can't hold on first, as long as they withstand the pressure, they can grab a lot of profits for Chaowei Company.
It seems that not only the Chinese people are aggressive, but other nationalities are the same, and there is no reason in front of interests!
In other words, the development of master companies will inevitably infringe on the interests of others, a chip technology makes the two giants nervous, and software technology has caused worldwide competition. It's just that Western countries have purchased a full set of octal source code from master companies, and giants like Microsoft have quickly completed the transformation, and in such a turbulent market, they have stood up at one time. The only difference is that the domestic software market in China has begun to be occupied by Huaxia General Software. The all-Chinese program makes the English program completely useless.
In fact, even in Microsoft's new system, it is inevitable to mix some Chinese, no way, although the source code of the master company is code programming, but the master company has also done processing, some code on the screen table xiàn out, is a Chinese character, before Microsoft has not eaten through, can not be changed.
Generally speaking, the development of master companies should be regarded as a peak today. It's just that next, the special materials launched by the master company have made more companies begin to pay attention.
There are tens of thousands of special materials companies in the world, and it stands to reason that the sudden rise of such a company has little impact! It's not worth enough, looking at the technology that is far beyond this era, tragedy will inevitably happen.
Among them, the direct impact, and the most impactful, should be the British GKN Aerospace, as the world's largest aerospace composite materials, metal structural parts, difficult core components solution provider, GKN decline is particularly obvious!
Anason Dynasto was staring at several structural parts in front of him, the silver-gray inconspicuous metal material, really inconspicuous, even ugly, without a bit of the beautiful luster that metal should have. However, it was these small mechanical parts that GKN ordered from Huaxia Master Company for a full million pounds.
It's sad to say that as the world's largest aerospace parts supplier, one day we need to order other people's parts! Of course, GKN didn't get it to be applied, but to be imitated! To see how the competitors are developing.
There are a small number of plastic structural parts, and more metal structural parts. After repeated verification, plastic structural parts can completely replace the current low-end aviation aluminum, and the high-end ones have not yet been replaced due to friction and high temperature. However, it is said that Huaxia has already started to produce plastic aircraft, and it is not known how they solved the problem that plastic cannot withstand high temperatures. However, it is undeniable that the density of plastic, which is only nearly a quarter of that of aluminum, and the good thermal insulation performance much higher than that of metal, can reduce the weight of the aircraft by at least two tons; If it is a large aircraft, it can even reduce the weight by more than ten tons or more.
The metal structural parts are amazing, super hardness, and even have good elasticity, and the unit area can withstand greater force, which can theoretically reduce the volume of the current aerospace engine by three times or more! This brings up another problem: the cost price of aerospace is calculated in "grams". Sometimes, in order to reduce the weight, even a screw must be designed with a reasonable thread density, thickness, etc., because the design of the screw can make the screw have a lighter weight while maintaining high strength. You know, when space technology was just developing, the cost per gram was as high as 100,000 US dollars!
In this case, it is conceivable that although the price of a master company seems to be very expensive, in the aerospace field, it can only be described as cheap. Therefore, even if Huaxia has such and such harsh requirements, it is still very popular, bringing unimaginable benefits to the master company.
It's just that such a situation is unacceptable to GKN. At the beginning of this year, the company's turnover has dropped by 30% year-on-year! This is also because of the large number of price reductions in their own company.
But low-end products will never be as profitable as high-end products! The top part of GKN's market has been almost completely taken over by master companies! In fact, many of the drawings received by the master company are some technologies that have been publicly disclosed in some Western countries, but even so, they are very good technologies.
Perhaps, the only consolation is that the high-temperature performance of this material is not good enough, above 800 degrees, the hardness will change, and above 1000 degrees, it will not be able to maintain good working condition.
"Develop high-temperature materials in your own company?" Annathan began to think. "It really seems that there is really the only way to catch up with and surpass the master company!"
Just then Annathan sighed, how easy is it to talk about high-temperature materials! Now how many countries and institutions are studying high-temperature materials, but the ore in nature, the most high-temperature resistant material tungsten, the melting temperature of more than 3410 degrees, may be the most ideal material!
However, in any case, tungsten, due to its fragile properties, cut off its use in high-end materials. Perhaps, cutting materials are the biggest use of tungsten.
There was a knock on ......the door.
"Come in!" Annathan put the information away and made himself look confident.
"President, Citibank has come to urge the loan." The assistant's voice was low. Over this period of time, GKN has declined beyond imagination and has surpassed the decline of almost all aerospace companies. Technically, the master company brought a near-ruined blow to the company. This, but also to be glad for the blockade of Huaxia, otherwise GKN is estimated to have filed for bankruptcy a long time ago.
"Got it, tell everyone to come over for a meeting, the company, it should make a change."
On March 20, the world-renowned GKN announced that it would sell its Composites Division as a package, and that Colleague would begin its transition to aero engine production. According to GKN's published reports and surveys, in the next 30 years or so, the world will enter the road of high-speed space development, so the engine technology, which is the heart of space technology, will be greatly developed. To this end, GKN will lay out ahead and research engines that are suitable for the future space environment.
GKN's changes have not only affected the accelerated development of aerospace technology around the world, but also made some countries understand that GKN has been cornered by master companies!
A company that has not been rising for a long time, three materials that have been out for less than half a year, but a company with a history of more than 150 years has been forced into a situation where it has to do transformation and development!
