The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

After returning to Kyoto, I wrote a detailed requirement for the working mode and requirements of the game console. After expressing it in formal language, I threw it to "Nuwa No. 1".

The current Nuwa 1 can use the "Luban" EDA software very freely.

Designing a simple game chip is already very comfortable.

I believe that it will take less than a week for design and simulation testing to submit a perfect design.

The only disadvantage is that the photolithography machines in the past did not have the ability to make masks, and required manual engraving before making chips.

Considering the development speed of electronic products in the future, photolithography machines that can automatically generate masks have become an inevitable demand.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan missed the team very much. He only had to propose a plan and there would be a team to take over.

Although "Nuwa No. 1" is already a capable assistant, she is still unable to handle some creative tasks.

I don't know how many years it will take for her to grow into a super assistant.

But he has always been worried that she might actually develop wisdom. Therefore, her computing power has not been upgraded.

So in the short term, the best assistants have to be real humans.

It's useless to think too much. He first made the mask of the game console, and when he had time, he made all the supporting equipment.

By then, he should have a strong team in place.

In just three days, Li Yuan completed the production of high-precision masks.

As for the molds for the shell and buttons, "Nuwa No. 1" has already completed the design.

Taking advantage of the time, Li Yuan directly hand-made two sets, and the processing accuracy is definitely higher than the current precision machine tools.

With the combined efforts of his mental power, inner breath and carving skills, Li Yuan's processing accuracy has definitely surpassed microns and reached the nanometer level.

Nowadays, the highest level of benchwork is level 8. A good level 8 workman can control the accuracy to half a wire, which is 5 microns, just by the feel of the hand.

It's a pity that there is currently no corresponding measuring tool, otherwise it would definitely shock everyone's jaws.

The production of chips can be directly entrusted to Wireless Store No. 2. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the construction and design of new photolithography machines and research on new processes.

There has been no major progress in the development of domestic semiconductors in the past ten years, which puzzled Li Yuan.

Therefore, he cannot count on these factories, nor on those research institutes.

If semiconductors want to be far ahead of the world, they must have their own team.

I originally thought that with high-speed computers, major machine tool manufacturers would develop towards automated and high-precision machine tools.

However, the inertia of history is extremely strong, pulling them back to the old path, focusing only on output and not on quality, let alone upgrading.

In the 60s, the world was still in the 3-inch wafer era, and we entered the four-inch process early.

Now, we are about to enter the 80s, and the 5-inch process has become the mainstream in the world.

However, our country is still stuck in the 4-inch process and has not made any progress.

Being able to do this is unimaginable to Li Yuan.

In the past 20 years, even a donkey can reach more than 5 inches.

Not to mention, the group of people who came out of the laboratory at that time were all taught by Li Yuan.

The last gathering made him more determined to work alone. His destiny cannot be controlled by others.

In the following days, Li Yuan first contacted Chen Bing to arrange his follow-up work arrangements.

One day later, Yu Xiaoe contacted the Fourth Machinery Department in Kyoto through Mr. Yuan.

A week later, the two rushed to Kyoto and found Leader Wang as a representative of a foreign company.

Leader Wang was greatly encouraged when he learned that foreign businessmen were willing to entrust domestic factories to produce chips. He directly informed the Second Radio Factory and asked them to fully cooperate.

Half a month later, both parties reached a consensus and signed an entrustment contract.

"Google" company came into the eyes of the Chinese people for the first time, and the national newspaper reported the cooperation on the front page.

The Second Radio Factory also came to the stage for the first time.

首批订货100万颗，每一颗采购价30元软妹币，20美刀（汇率1：1.4962），交易额高达2000万美刀。

This is an epoch-making cooperation, which means that Huaxia Semiconductor has been recognized by foreign capital.

There was great joy in the country.

Chen Bing appeared in the newspaper as the Chinese manager.

People who knew him well were all surprised and asked for information.

The news that China currently has 4-inch wafers spread abroad and did not cause any fluctuations.

On the contrary, it made the great powers laugh.

Currently, China and America are in the honeymoon period, although some people have noticed this transaction.

Because the technology is relatively backward, no country pays attention to it.

March 1980, 3, Goddess’ Day, was the opening day of the Google factory in Shekou.

Shao Dawei, deputy director of Xiangjiang headquarters, and Yu Xiao'e, general manager, attended in person.

Mainland Chinese manager Chen Bing, Shekou Industrial Zone helmsman Yuan Lao and relevant leaders attended.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the groundbreaking was quite grand, with loud gongs and drums, blasting firecrackers, and huge crowds of people. . .

At the end of the ceremony, the attendees visited the factory area. Whether it was green roads or workshops, they could be summarized in four words: clean, orderly, safe and comfortable.

The factory is divided into production area, office area and living area.

In order to take care of the workers, the factory provides free dormitories and three meals a day.

Each district is managed by dedicated personnel and has codes of conduct.

Each assembly line is divided into areas, and each area has an operation process demonstration board.

Employees are uniformly dressed and have a positive and optimistic attitude.

Everyone was amazed after visiting the factory.

They are all workers, but the performance of state-owned enterprises is very different compared to here.

The Kyoto Evening News reported this event.

In addition to caring people, the majority of people once again thought of the company "Google".

Recruiting 500 people, it is currently the largest employer.

The basic salary is 50 yuan, plus bonus, the monthly income is expected to be no less than 70 yuan.

These workers are all young men and women from surrounding villages. They are very hard-working and frugal people who can save 100 yuan a year.

Everyone cherishes getting this job.

Therefore, everyone’s enthusiasm for work is very high.

In the first month, 10 game consoles were produced.

The chip costs US$20, the LCD screen costs US$25, and the body accessories cost US$2.5. The total cost is US$47.5.

After calculating the cost, the ex-factory price is set at US$120.

The global suggested retail price is US$168, and Shaw Brothers is fully committed to distribution.

Shaw Brothers listened to Li Yuan's suggestions on America's publicity channels, except for posters in video stores.

The focus is on primary and secondary school students.

Recruit 10 testers in each video store and provide a trial fee of US$10 per hour.

"Oriental Dream Cube" has quickly attracted the love and pursuit of American players with its simple and exciting gameplay, unique cube combinations and elimination rules, and its combination with music.

The 15-day event is over, and the stock of American video stores is running low.

Fortunately, Li Yuan had a plan, and despite the objections of Chen Bing and Yu Xiaoe, the Shekou factory went into full production in three shifts.

The first batch of goods has just been shipped, and the second batch of goods has been shipped half a month later.

Coupled with the preliminary distribution and publicity, the second batch of goods was just in time.
