Take Off My Aviation Era

Chapter 839: chip

Of course, civilian standards are not as harsh as military ones, at least in terms of durability and confidentiality. Therefore, the simplified version based on the data link, the data link communication system, is used on the network components.

As for the communication between UAV platforms, it has also changed from a UV communication system with strong anti-interference ability to a laser communication system with lower performance.

Although the overall performance is several grades lower than that of the military version, Ascendas Group did not reduce the performance of the civilian version. Instead, it is more advanced than the military version in some aspects.

For example, integrated circuits, military requirements are strong and durable, and can be used in water, sand, plateaus, and mountains. Therefore, the selection of integrated circuits is based on durability, so that integrated circuits in certain key parts are still Use slightly backward transistors.

Just because these products are strong enough and stable enough.

But these issues are not involved in civilian use, because civilian products only pursue the ultimate performance, because the choice of large-scale integrated circuits is naturally staring at the most cutting-edge products.

This is just like smartphones decades later. The demand for chips from various high-end flagship phones is an extreme one. Those made of 1 nanometer will never be eliminated by 3 nanometers. The highlight is performance.

The same is true for Ascendas' civilian swarm UAV system.

Therefore, the integrated circuits of the swarm control system on the five ZB-MAXpro helicopters dispatched by the Xiangzhou factory all use high-end chips made of 248 nanometers produced by Toshiba, Japan.

Its equipment is produced by Nikon’s latest DUV lithography machine. Thanks to Japan’s dominant position in the semiconductor industry in the 1990s, the civilian version of Ascendas Group’s swarm UAV system has been greatly improved.

The most notable thing is that the volume of the entire control module is reduced by 50% compared with the military one. Although it is still difficult to assemble into small and medium-sized drones such as "Habi", it is applied to medium-sized drone platforms such as TY-2. The above is no longer a problem.

As for the target 5 cruise missile target, this kind of quasi-military unmanned flying machine can naturally be integrated, but the attributes of the target 5 will be difficult to define at that time, because the target 5 of the integrated swarm UAV system is already available. With all the functions and strike capabilities of the cruise navigation, it has extremely powerful autonomous judgment and saturation strike capabilities.

However, in terms of confidential communication and network stability, it is a bit worse than pure military cruise missiles. It has poor adaptability to complex battlefield environments. Therefore, the real combat effectiveness is not necessarily stronger than traditional cruise missiles. Therefore, Ascendas Group did not The target 5, which uses the civilian version of the swarm UAV system, is called a cruise missile, but a more appropriate name is called a cruise missile.

That is, low-cost, aerodynamic attack ammunition to be formed independently and controllable.

As a result, once this kind of improvised cruise missile was launched, it was favored by the military, especially the airborne troops of the Air Force and the Marine Corps of the Navy. They were very interested in this kind of multi-mission cruise missile and purchased one from Ascendas Group. Approved back for training and research on new tactics.

It is with the military’s strong investment and support behind that, Ascendas Group’s swarm UAV system will quickly mature, but there is still a considerable distance from the goal of grabbing excess profits, making small money, and driving industry development. After all, no matter how the military can support procurement, the quantity is ultimately limited. If you want to long-term, the broad civilian market is the Nuggets pool.

Of course, in addition to the temptation of profits, Zhuang Jianye is determined to promote the civilian market, the pull of the industry is also another important reason.

As for what industry, it is of course the most critical semiconductor manufacturing industry in the future.

In this regard, Zhuang Jianye's idea is very simple, since the future of drones, manned aircraft, and spacecraft in outer space all need the support of modern semiconductor industry in order to achieve their maximum potential, of course it is only in their own hands.

In this way, there is no need to look at other people's faces or to bear high prices. If someone is playing tricks on the neck at the critical moment, he can deal with it calmly.

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to reduce its own product costs.

It is important to know that the Target 5 using the swarm UAV system is almost 800,000 yuan more expensive than the original ordinary version. The main reason is that the price of Toshiba's 248-nanometer chips is really high.

But there is no other way. At this stall in 1994, the entire world semiconductor industry is still the world of the Japanese. As for Samsung and TSMC, even a younger brother, Intel and Texas Instruments in the United States are just struggling to support them. The Japanese stabbed a knife.

Under this circumstance, Ascendas Group has very few choices. It can only purchase from Japan if it wants to achieve the ultimate performance, and the price is high.

But in this way, the Ascendas Group’s road to popularization of civilian use will be hindered. After all, the price of civilian products can be high, but it cannot be as high as luxury goods. Otherwise, how to popularize and how to make a lot of small money.

Therefore, on the one hand, Zhuang Jianye decentralized the sources of chips. Except for the most high-end flagship chips purchased from Japan, other products from Samsung or TSMC are used as much as possible, and some of them even use Intel's semiconductor integrated circuits.

Thereby reducing the cost to a certain extent, but this is not the ultimate goal of Zhuang Jianye. Only by grasping the entire industrial chain in his own hands can Zhuang Jianye feel at ease, otherwise he will feel unsafe to sleep.

Because of this, while procuring chips from abroad, under the leadership of Zhuang Jianye, the joint success factory, the second aerospace factory, China Merchants Bank, and China Development Bank established a venture capital fund to inject 650 million yuan into the Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd. founded by Luan Heping to support Its business in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

Luan Heping started to establish an electronic equipment factory in the late 1980s to carry out three-to-one electronic processing trade. While the business grew bigger and bigger, he also invested in low-end semiconductor technology, and made a difference to his own business in the entire industry. The situation is called a Men's Qing, naturally knowing that relying on low labor, high density, and overloaded hard money will not last long.

What's more, the profit of this hard-earned money is too thin. A little bit of trouble will result in a blood loss. If you want to make a lot of money for a long time, you have to target the high-tech parts of the industry chain.

Therefore, Luan Heping has long been arching towards the middle and upper reaches of the electronic equipment industry chain. The problem is that he wants to do it, but the conditions do not allow it.

First, he has no technology, second, no talents. Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't have so much capital to invest. You must know that in the upper and middle reaches of the semiconductor industry, every item is made with real money and invested. The quota is not the usual millions or tens of millions, but a few hundred million or a dozen hundred million. If you insist on this for five to ten years, you can see underwriting.

There’s no way that Moore’s Law of semiconductors is there. Every 18 months ~lightnovelpub.net~ the technology of semiconductors will turn the process over. In other words, your plant and equipment have just been completed. The line became a backward product because of Moore's Law, so it could only continue to spend money until it was in line with Moore's Law.

Think about this process, what can a small amount of one million dollars be used for?

As a result, at this stall, Ning Xiaodong, who partnered with him, suddenly drew out the funds to engage in some bird-hair air transportation company. Now Luan Heping is even less able to upgrade the industry, and can only continue to do three things in silence. , Earn hard-earned money.

It was not until the 650 million capital investment led by Zhuang Jianye fell that Luan Heping regained the confidence to complete the industrial upgrade, and his confidence soon brought him gains, and Luan Heping announced that his electronic equipment factory was ready Not long after entering the upstream semiconductor integrated circuit, the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region of Asmael in the Netherlands came to the door and eagerly told Luan Heping that as long as he was willing, Asmael would offer a price of 30 million yuan. Provide it with the latest PAS5500 DUV lithography machine that can produce 198 nm.
