Chapter 433: Joy and Sorrow
A combined engine with a diameter of two meters and a length of about four meters requires only ten cubic meters of special materials at best.
But if it is handed over to ordinary R&D units, for these tons of materials, it is necessary to build at least a dozen new factories to solve countless technical problems.
What is even more difficult to accept is that this is almost equivalent to a one-time product, and when new technologies and new materials are developed, many factories will close down and switch to production, or completely lose their value.
If we start from the establishment of the Utopia project, the various equipment invested by Infinity, the efforts of researchers, etc., are all converted into money, and so far, the cumulative investment has reached hundreds of billions of dollars!
In this world, no private company can do it.
At least for now, in 2007, no.
Hearing that Chen Weidong took care of the material problem in a big way, Zhao Gong still had some questions, but he still sat down.
The researchers of the aerospace aircraft design team discussed for a while, and the person in charge said euphemistically: "Mr. Chen, what are the internal instruments and equipment we need?"
"You make a list, I will hand it over to the laboratory to manufacture, you can rest assured of the quality, it is definitely aerospace level."
Chen Weidong replied without hesitation.
With the current technical strength of Infinity, there is no problem in creating an instrument that meets the requirements.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the conference table a few times, and said with a smile: "To reassure you again, we originally planned to use the most mature and stable optoelectronic hybrid core as the data processor of the aerospace aircraft." ”
"Recently, however, the photonic computer project team has "all-photonized" all the transistors and will soon be ready to start packaging, and it will not be long before you can use all-optical processing computers. ”
"At that point, no matter how large the data is, the results can be obtained in an instant."
The researchers in the conference room all gasped, and some of the elderly even clenched their chests with their hands, and quickly took out the fast-acting heart-saving pill from their pockets and swallowed it in their mouths.
The petaflop supercomputer they are using right now excites everyone, and at the moment, hearing that it can be even faster, it is too exciting for them!
What's even more exaggerated is that this is not a supercomputer group, but just a chip!
A single chip can surpass the speed of hundreds of billions of operations, which is simply terrifying!
With such a powerful chip support, what else can't infinity companies do?
Even those researchers in the company who are thinking about making the Tiandao simulator more realistic every day are afraid that they will also go crazy about it!
With such a powerful chip, isn't the company's research progress like a rocket, throwing all the research institutions on this planet away without a trace?
It turns out that the technology is leading, and this is how it feels!
One step ahead, one step at a time, making it difficult to catch up.
Through advanced technology, more advanced technology has been developed, and advanced technology has shortened the research process, so as to obtain the advantage of time.
Relying on breakthroughs in the field of computers, Infinity has caught up with the world's top technology step by step, and gradually stood out, and finally left them behind, unable to catch up.
Researchers are trying to digest this information, gathering into a heap, buzzing to discuss what kind of promotion the all-photon computer chip will bring to their research.
For a while, everyone was more confident about the future.
Chen Weidong smiled, listened to their excited discussion, and did not participate.
He silently thought in his heart, the next few years may be the most difficult years for the company, especially after the successful development of the aerospace aircraft, what kind of reaction will they make at home and abroad?
Everything is still unknown.
Because this world is no longer like his previous life.
Due to the infinity company in South China, the salary level of local workers has been greatly raised, resulting in ordinary labor-intensive industries such as textiles, clothing, footwear, and toys, which have almost lost their foothold.
In order to have cheap labor, many low-end manufacturing factories have to move from the coast to the central and western regions.
And because of the technology transfer of Infinity Company, domestic electronic enterprises have received comprehensive technical support, and the industry has been constantly updated and iterative, and it has strong competitiveness in low-end products.
At the same time, due to the technology licensing of the infinity company.
Domestic electronics manufacturers do not need to pay high patent fees, their products continue to go abroad, under its strong competitiveness, the United States, island countries in the electronics industry is also decreasing.
During the same period, a large number of individual industrial and commercial households and knowledge-intensive industries began to emerge in China.
Some economists have boldly predicted that by the end of the year, the non-state-owned economy (private enterprises) will account for more than 60 percent of the total national economy.
The national GDP growth rate in 2007 is expected to reach 15%!
This rate of economic growth has attracted the attention of the whole world.
The rules of the related capital market are constantly being revised.
Swiss Bank, through the company's QFII business dedicated seats, bought four blue-chip stocks in A-shares.
This marks the official entry of qualified foreign investors and the first step towards opening up the A-share market to the world.
The sun rises in the east and rains in the west.
On the other side of the ocean, there is no such optimism.
President George W. Bush is in a white house, frowning.
With the tenacity of a cowboy, he withstood the pressure from Congress, and it took him nearly two years and tens of thousands of casualties to finally occupy Iraq.
Subsequently, on the basis of intelligence, Saddam Hussein was arrested in a basement in the town of Dawar, about 15 kilometers from Tikrit.
It was a big win.
I thought that this would mean the end of the catastrophe and that the United States could finally enjoy the fruits of victory.
However, those damned Arabs refused to admit defeat in this situation!
One bomb today, tomorrow an ambush on the patrol, and the resistance is one after another, leaving the soldiers overwhelmed.
Can't these guys recognize the situation?
Saddam Hussein is finished, his forces have been crushed, the United States has won a complete victory, and there is simply no way to reverse it.
Why, why can't they recognize this?
While it is indeed embarrassing for the president that soldiers are still dying every day after the war is over, does it work?
It is impossible for the White House to abandon Iraq after paying such a huge price, just because there are a dozen casualties of soldiers every month, even a fool should be able to see it!
Then why should they resist!
It's so hateful, don't they have the courage to connect with reality?
At this time, shouldn't we put aside past grievances and work hard to rebuild a country?
They could have lived well on it, of course, if their American status was recognized.
But they would rather tie up an iron pot and drag the American soldiers to die with them than accept this result.
It's just too bad.
Only the arms dealers were smiling.
