Warship of Great Power Chapter 1111

"It's too noisy here. How about we change places and go to our Mingzhou Group Guesthouse for a drink?" Qin Tao suggested. The aircraft carrier has arrived and has gone to the dock to start construction. Everything is settled. Next, it's time to eat and drink.

However, these people obviously have no intention of leaving.

“Qin, can we go and see your aircraft carrier?” Nikolai looked in the direction of Dawu.

Qin Tao shook his head: "I'm sorry, that aircraft carrier is still under construction and is not safe under construction. If you want to see it, let me show you the amphibious assault ship being outfitted. This ship is progressing very quickly. Next year you will I can definitely drive back."

 Are you kidding? Look at our 003 aircraft carrier? This is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with the world's highest technological level. How could I possibly show it to you? It's up to you to see it.

Nicholas smiled: "Okay, let's go see our own amphibious assault ship."

With the aging aircraft carrier on one side and the brand-new amphibious assault ship on the other, the mood of the big guys quickly improved. When they walked into the ship island and saw the equipment already installed inside, they were extremely shocked.

“Isn't the equipment here too advanced?”

 “Look at this display, it's so majestic!”

  Comparatively, their past aircraft carriers were like old steam trains, and the current one is equivalent to a modern high-speed rail, completely from two eras.

“Mr. Qin, can our aircraft carrier be transformed into something like this?”

"Of course it can be transformed, but some of the combat systems on your aircraft carrier that we are not allowed to touch will definitely not be integrated, such as those anti-ship missiles."

Dongfang's electronic technology is very advanced, and the combat command system on the aircraft carrier is also high-end. However, there is a difference between new construction and modification. Many of Lao Maozi's systems are confidential and cannot be integrated without Dongfang touching them.

  For example, anti-ship missiles.

In the era of the Red Empire, Lao Maozi had been thinking about how to deal with the American aircraft carrier formation. The conclusion they came to was a saturation attack. If a war really started, rounds of missile salvos would be fired from the sky, to the sea, to underwater. In the past, Aegis could not protect against it.

Even their aircraft carriers are equipped with huge P-500 anti-ship missiles, which can launch attacks outside the opponent's defense radius. Therefore, they do not call their aircraft carriers aircraft carriers, but heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers.

Of course the Kuznetsov also has this kind of huge anti-ship missile, and it is Lao Maozi's most important secret. Even if the aircraft carrier is sent over for modification, he has no intention of telling these secrets to the East.

For Dongfang, these secrets that Lao Maozi is proud of are nothing in our own eyes, because we also have them. Ballistic missiles such as YJ-21 can travel one or two thousand kilometers, YJ-12 and YJ-12 The YJ-18 also has strong capabilities. It already has long-range anti-ships, and they are all new-century technologies, which are much better than those antiques of Lao Maozi.

But now, I still have to talk about it.

The expression on Nicholas's face was a little awkward: "Qin, if it were me, of course I wouldn't mind you seeing these secrets, but after all, this concerns our entire navy, and there are still many people who still don't trust you in the East. , these secrets still cannot be mastered by you."

“So, we won't mix these weapon systems for you. By then, there will be a hybrid style of modern and industrial era.”

On one side is a modern display screen, keyboard and mouse, and on the other side is an outdated cathode ray tube and various switches. It is interesting to think about it.

“Qin, do you think it is necessary to retain our anti-ship missiles?”

"Of course, that is your trump card." Qin Tao said: "It must be retained. You not only have the P-500, but also the P-700 and even the P-800. When the time comes, you can use the killer move."

I don't know what this number is based on, but it may be based on the range to a large extent. If the Americans think that these anti-ship missiles of Lao Maozi can hit 500 kilometers, they will be safe beyond 600 kilometers. Then a war really breaks out, and an attack may be launched from 700 kilometers away. The Americans will definitely be dumbfounded.

Nicholas smiled and did not continue. Da Mao was not good at anything else, but he could still do well at shooting range.

"By the way, we got a batch of Loongson computers from you last time. After we returned, we gave them to the people who needed them most. Now, we have gained a lot and have many customers. TSMC will start from them. I bought the modification software in my hand," Nikolai said.

"Really? Thank you for your hard work." Qin Tao smiled: "Then we will wait for TSMC's response."

While Qin Tao was receiving guests with ease, TSMC's technical staff were still busy. They mobilized almost all their efforts to tackle technical problems. Through their hard work, they finally achieved results.

"Although the software is from ten years ago, it can still be used after modifications by programmers." Looking at the simulated running software on the computer, Jiang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It should be almost done. Next, we will make the software Migrate to all systems and prepare to restart."

"No." Hu Ming shook his head: "These software are all old software and can only be used on large-scale integrated circuits. We have already entered the era of very large-scale integrated circuits. These software may not necessarily run correctly, and they are still downloaded from the Internet. If you buy it from an unknown programmer, who knows whether it will be successful or not, and if you start work rashly, all that comes out of the production line may be scrap."

“After the simulation, there should be no problem. How can we know if we don't try it on a computer? Besides, if you deny our plan like this, do you think there is a better plan?” Jiang said with pride.

The two were about to quarrel again. Zhang Mou's eyes were gloomy: "Stop arguing, let's start working!"

Now that he is tired of his men quarreling, they have no other choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse.

It is too late to create new software. We can only modify the old software and use it. The life cycle of a piece of software should be very long, especially software used in industry. There are many people on the Internet who are doing this. They accidentally got the news and decided to buy it and try it. To be on the safe side, they tried it on the simulator now and it seems there is no problem.

Once construction starts, it will not only cost electricity and water, but also waste a lot of raw materials, and the investment will be huge. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid TSMC will also fall into a terrible loss. However, they have to try. If they don't try, then they will All we can do is sit back and wait for death.

 If you don't do this, how else can you do it? Go to a software company to develop new software? There's simply no time.

Workers wearing dustproof suits walked into the production workshop. After a month of pause, the machines finally started running again.

Only when the machine is running can it create a steady stream of profits. Even if it cannot produce the most advanced chips and only produces some backward chips, it can still maintain a certain profit.

The beginning of the production line is white silica. Although it is said that chips are made of sand, in fact, what enters the chip production line is silica with a higher content. These raw materials enter the graphite furnace, are heated to two thousand degrees, and the concentration is extracted. Ninety-nine percent of industrial silicon, after further development, these industrial silicon gradually turned into silicon rods used in chips. The entire silicon rod is pointed at both ends and round in the middle, shiny, and looks full of high-tech beauty.

From this step, the preparation of raw materials is almost complete. Next, we start cutting. The pieces cut from the cylinder are wafers. Then we make a photolithography mask on this wafer, apply photoresist, and use a special Light is irradiated, photolithography is performed, etching is performed, and ions are formed to form a transistor, which is then polished. After completion, it is covered with an insulating film, and a second photolithography is performed. The result is a multi-layer chip, which is equivalent to building a house. Same.

In this way, the chip is finally made by covering it layer by layer. Then it is placed on the cutting machine to cut the chip into blocks one by one and package it.

 The production line is up and running, and a few hours later, new chips come out.

Holding the chip encapsulated in black ceramic, Zhang Mou's heart was filled with excitement. Great, great. The production line has finally been restored. The Orientals tried to use software to sanction themselves. They dreamed that after leaving Butcher Wang, they still had to Do you eat pigs with hair on them?

“The chip has come out, let's leave the factory next!”

"We have to test it first." Hu Ming was still relatively calm. He had been worried about something. Did Jiang Yi think it was done? I'm afraid there is a trap in this!

 Jiang Yi nodded: "Yes, it needs to be tested."

 The chip was installed on the test equipment and the system test started. After a few seconds, the red word Error appeared on the computer screen.

error?

 It doesn't matter, there must be defects in the chip during the manufacturing process. If it is defective, just throw it away or use it in a lower grade. So much so that there are rumors in the market that Intel's CPUs are all made of I7 processors. During testing, if there are problems with some of them, just block out a few problematic cores and the CPU will change from I7 to I5. If it is still bad, it will continue to be blocked and become I3.

 “Change another one.” Jiang Yi didn't think there was any problem. The second chip was put on and the test continued. After a few seconds, the test result came out: it was still bad!

 At this time, Jiang Yi was no longer calm.

 The third one, the fourth one... every one of them is bad! How is this going?

 Jiang Yi frowned: "Maybe the production line needs to be adjusted. As long as there is a slight adjustment, it will be fine."

Hu Ming shook his head: "If the adjustment is not good, there must be something wrong with the software. Maybe it's a hole dug by someone else."

 Zhang Mou's face changed: "Didn't you buy it from a European?"

“Don't forget, the natural gas carriers of Linedai Heavy Industry were also ordered by Europeans!”

“I'm going to try, I'm going to try!” Jiang Yi's forehead began to sweat, but he still didn't believe Hu Ming's judgment. It ran well on the simulator, but why did something go wrong in actual operation?

Perhaps there is something wrong and it just needs some fine-tuning?

Jiang Yi struggled three times, and each time he was convinced that the adjustment was in place. However, after turning on the machine, the fault remained.

Jiang Yi, exhausted from all the hard work, finally gave up.

"We have run out of tricks. I think we should write brand new software. The worst we can do is find a software company to help us, or we can set up a software company ourselves."

 “We can't wait until that time.” Zhang Mou's eyes were already filled with death.

Either don't do it or do it absolutely. This Mr. Qin is too cruel and has blocked all their escape routes. They have only one way!

 VIA is back with a lot of gains. If VIA can do it, why can't TSMC? TSMC can also bow its head temporarily.

From never bowing his head to temporarily bowing his head, Zhang Mou went through a complex ideological struggle, but now, he has no other choice but to bow his head temporarily in order to survive.

 Zhang Mou took the plane that evening and flew to Huating.

That night, Qin Tao and the old men were drinking and talking.

“Don't worry, we will outfit the amphibious assault ship as soon as possible and send it to you!”

“Aircraft carrier modifications are commonplace for us, and we will definitely be able to help you modify them.”

The guys were drinking and talking about future development prospects. Everyone was very excited and got drunk without realizing it.

 In the end, everyone was carried away drunkenly, and Xu Zhengyang found the opportunity to tell Qin Tao what had just happened.

“They don't want to accept the judgment of the capital court and pay a large amount of money, but want to settle privately. Mr. Zhang is still waiting for your reply.”

According to the court ruling, it will cost more than one billion U.S. dollars to resolve, but if it is settled privately, it may be settled for one to two billion U.S. dollars. Zhang Rujin cannot make up his mind about such a big matter, and Qin Tao has to decide.

 Shall we settle privately or continue to adhere to the court's judgment?

"Of course it's a private reconciliation." Qin Tao said: "As long as they are willing to bow their heads, this is a good start. We have to give them a step to get down."

Xu Zhengyang frowned: "But this will save us a lot of money. Isn't our goal to bring down TSMC?"

"How can it be so easy?" Qin Tao said: "You can't rush this kind of thing. You have to do it step by step. Do you understand boiling a frog in warm water?"

Seeing that Xu Zhengyang still couldn't react, Qin Tao said: "Let's make the first settlement first. TSMC will compensate SMIC for a sum of money. It doesn't need to be much, just 100 million US dollars. When they pay the compensation, the software will be unlocked. Continue to use it, and a few months later, we will sue TSMC again, accusing TSMC of violating our settlement agreement, and we will demand compensation from them again. After they have completed the compensation, we will continue to demand compensation from them after a period of time."

A knowing smile appeared on Xu Zhengyang's face. He still underestimated the shamelessness of Mr. Qin. It turned out to be this kind of trick. It seemed that he was still too young. He had followed Mr. Qin for so many years and he had not fully learned the essence of Mr. Qin. .

As long as they bow their heads for the first time, they will have to keep bowing their heads again and again. Sooner or later, TSMC will be crippled by boiling frogs in warm water.

“Okay, Mr. Qin, then I will reply to Mr. Zhang.”

 Qin Tao nodded. He didn't need to worry about such small things anymore. He only needed to outline the general principles and policies and then leave them to his subordinates. Zhang Rujin would handle them beautifully.

“Brother Tao, after this incident, the West will definitely pay more attention to software. They will not watch us choke their necks on software.” Zhao Ling said as she watched Xu Zhengyang leave.

“Yes, they will definitely pay attention to it, but when their investments fail several times and they lose all their money, they will naturally give up.”

Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao curiously, and then thought of something: "Do you want to use someone from Da Mao's side?"

"Yes, as long as the West comes up with a new software, before they can sell it to make money, Da Mao can provide a cracked version without paying a penny. In this way, customers will definitely welcome it. After a few times, they will pay a high amount of money. Who would do it if they don't get any return on their investment? This is the benefit of capitalism. They don't have any thoughts about national honor or disgrace or national rejuvenation. They only focus on money, and they don't care about things that make no money. I won't do it.”

　　When it comes to piracy, Da Mao is definitely the best. They already have a group of computer geniuses in the country who can easily crack American software. If someone wants to find pirated games, pirated software, etc., the first thing that comes to mind is Da Mao's website.

“It's quite strange, why is Da Mao so powerful in piracy?” Zhao Ling asked curiously.

 “It goes without saying, of course the education is good.”

In the era of the Red Empire, computer education began to be popularized among primary school students. At the middle school level, information technology classes were extremely cumbersome. This was definitely not as simple as simply mastering office software, but was the same as university education in the East: computer operating principles, data Structures and algorithms, programming languages ​​and methods, information technology, etc., after such education, a large number of computer geniuses will emerge among Da Mao's students. After entering universities for further studies, they will become elites.

 But what will you do after you come out? During the Red Empire era, computer education was vigorously developed in order to cultivate engineers needed by the military. After the collapse of the Red Empire, these computer talents had no place to find employment.

 Originally, the 1990s was supposed to be a period of great development in information technology. Unfortunately, apart from the birth of some oligarchs, no advanced enterprises emerged in Mao's country.

As a result, these computer talents have no other choice but to become hackers and engage in piracy. After all, this is a quick way to make money.

In 1994, a hacker named Vladimir Levin led a team and successfully broke into Citibank's management system, and then quickly transferred 3.7 million to his account. Unfortunately, there was no advanced system at the time. During the money transfer process, he was arrested before he could spend the money.

Now, nothing has changed in Damao. Those hackers are idle and bored, so they can only continue to do their old business. As for why they didn't crack the software of Goose Factory, I don't know. If they know, they can never say.
