The technological empire begins with polymer materials

With Cui Lao and his team settling in, Xingchen Technology's plan to enter the optical field has officially begun to be implemented.

Of course, as the most powerful scientific research group in China, optics is just one of the many projects of Kunlun Group.

Time flies by and comes to May 15th. As usual, Gao Yuan broadcasts a program on technology changing life, focusing on introducing the group's technology and how it can enter thousands of households and let people benefit from technology.

This is like Kunlun Group’s monthly science and technology report, which reports how many solid-state battery vehicles were sold this month, the latest progress of the Qiongzhou Strait Tunnel, the many islands in the South China Sea that are gradually taking shape, and are developing towards the Maldives Islands in China, etc.

It is worth mentioning that through live broadcasts, Kunlun Group has cultivated a strong media team, with dozens of photography teams spread across China, collecting first-hand materials and consultations, and producing video materials into documentaries and placing them on station B. Such video platforms.

Unknowingly, Kunlun Group has become one of the largest documentary producers in China. This should be regarded as an example of unintentional interference.

At the regular morning meeting, Gao Yuan listened to the briefings from various departments and focused on the progress in the field of optics. He wanted to solve the problem of high-end scientific cameras as soon as possible and contribute to domestic scientific research.

Once high-end optics are solved, consumer-level optical technologies such as mobile phone cameras will naturally be solved.

Many technologies were not originally intended for civilian use, but for military or scientific research purposes.

For example, ARPANET, the predecessor of the Internet, was developed by the North American Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. It was the world's first packet switching network. Its purpose was to resist nuclear attacks by the former Soviet Union. Even if some command headquarters were destroyed, other command points could still Communication works normally.

So, regardless of the fact that scientific cameras are prepared for scientific research, spectrum, low light, deep space, deep sea, infrared, high-speed dynamic capture, motion trajectory prediction, machine vision sensing, these profound and complex functions are not used by the consumer market at all. Less than.

However, as long as scientific cameras are solved on the plateau, it will not be too easy to push back to consumer products.

Xu Qingzhou shook his head and said helplessly: "We have Kunlun Seiko and qualified glass technology, and we quickly completed one of the most important components in the optical field, the lens."

"It can be said responsibly that our lenses are the most accurate on earth, even exceeding the observatory level."

"But optical systems are not just composed of lenses after all, and we now have a huge problem, which is the optical sensor."

Gao Yuan frowned. Sensors are an old problem in China. The sensors used by Kunlun Seiko are imported. The same is true for solid-state battery vehicles.

It's not that Gao Yuan is unwilling to localize semiconductors, it's because he doesn't have the relevant technology and the system doesn't allow him to open semiconductor plug-ins. Gao Yuan is also helpless.

Kunlun Group currently has a project department that is doing research on replacing silicon-based semiconductors with carbon nanotubes, but the speed of system hacking is not at the same level as the speed of its own research.

Assuming that the system is cheated, it only takes a moment to master semiconductor-related knowledge. If you study hard by yourself, the speed is slow and there are many difficulties. If you go wrong, you will easily fall into the ditch.

Xu Qingzhou continued the report: "It seems that the West has noticed that we are entering the optical field, so it has blocked the export of advanced sensors."

Gao Yuan said: "What is the highest level of product we can buy?"

Xu Qingzhou said: "Domestic consumer grade products, but starting from this month, Western manufacturers have stopped shipping to us."

Gao Yuan was suddenly startled, "Is the West going to sanction us?"

Chen Yunqi shook his head, "It is a more cruel method than sanctions. The West has never mentioned sanctions in any public forum, but when we contacted Western manufacturers, they just refused to accept the contract. They tore up the past contracts directly and would rather pay for breach of contract." Gold won’t be shipped either.”

Ha~

Xu Qingzhou snorted, "I am a slow learner. We used the same method to deal with the West. We never said we would not sell solid-state batteries to the West, but we never accepted their orders. The West was angry They are jumping around, but there is nothing we can do about it.”

"After all, we are a private company. We complained to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the ministry also said that our behavior was corporate and the authorities could not get involved."

"Now the situation is reversed. Even if we complain, it will be useless. The Japanese authorities will say that Sony is a company and Canon is a company. Not shipping to us is corporate behavior."

Damn it!

Gao Yuan was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. Although he had already foreseen it, he would still inevitably feel angry when the sanctions really came.

"That means that not only will our optical project be no longer used for sensors, but the supply of machine tools and cars will also be cut off?"

Chen Yunqi nodded, "I stocked up a batch before, and I think it will last for a month, but after a month..."

Gao Yuan felt depressed. He also wanted the flying car to achieve true autonomous driving. How could he do this without sensors?

Sensors are like human eyes. Without sensors, a flying car will become blind if it does not know how high it is above the ground or how far it is from surrounding buildings.

"Let's do this for today." Gao Yuan said, "Everyone is dismissed. Yun Qi, please give me a list of domestic companies that can make sensors."

Chen Yunqi nodded. He is the head of the group's semiconductor department, and businesses such as sensors are within his management scope.

Gao Yuan returned to the office, and the more he thought about it, the more trouble he felt. The West seemed to be smarter and learned to strike accurately. Although the sensor was only a small component, it had a huge impact on the fields of optics and artificial intelligence.

Lie on the sofa, relax your whole body, and enter the system panel.

The vast galaxy is dazzling and fascinating. The progress bar on the huge light screen shows that so far, only 23% of the primary artificial intelligence tasks have been completed.

"That's just a little progress." Gao Yuan muttered, then opened his eyes.

If you think about it carefully, you can’t blame the system. So far, artificial intelligence has only been used in machine tools and medical fields. It has had an impact on people’s lives, but it is still far from being disruptive. Everyone is dead set on artificial intelligence.

Even so, strong opposition has emerged in North America. Many mentally retarded Christians claim that Plateau is the incarnation of Satan. The artificial intelligence he created will enslave all mankind sooner or later. They call on all North Americans to immediately disconnect from the Internet and hide in the jungle. Live a life of men farming and women weaving to ensure peace.

This group of anti-intellectualists also received funding from the church and a group of billionaires to purchase land, develop farms, build wooden houses, etc.

Gao Yuan is really too lazy to pay attention to these people, he is crazy, and he is completely full.

How hard it was for the Chinese nation and how many lives they sacrificed before they finally understood the truth that those who fell behind would be beaten, and that imperial power and divine authority were bullshit, and that only science and industrialization could make China prosperous and strong.

If anyone wants to bring China back to the era before the Opium War, when it was out of touch with the world, when the people were ignorant and did not understand science, the Chinese people would definitely kill him without hesitation.

Hey~

Shaking away the random thoughts in his head, Gao Yuan fell into deep thinking.

Soon after, Chen Yunqi appeared, bringing a list of domestic sensor suppliers.

Judging from the list, there are still a number of sensor companies in China. Tianjin Meixin can make speed sensors, gyroscopes, magnetometers, and flow meters.

Goertek, the world's largest audio sensor manufacturer.

Silicon Rui can make 3-axis magnetic sensors. In addition, their altimeter technology is very strong, comparable to the international giant Bosch.

CLP 13, CLP 55, Institute of Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the national team are the main players in sensors, and their product lines are relatively extensive.

Shanghai Juge mainly does infrared sensing, which is at the third echelon level.

Hangzhou Coder focuses on smell sensing and VR sensing.

Suzhou Minxin has good pressure sensing and inertial sensing technologies, and is currently in a lawsuit with Goertek in terms of sound sensing.

Suzhou Nuolianxin specializes in infrared gas sensing.

Shenzhen AAC and Hangzhou Silan Micro are both well-known manufacturers in the country, and sensors are just their small projects.

Then there are the existences that cannot be named. The Aerospace XXX Institute, the Aviation XXX Institute, the Weapons XXX Institute, etc., are all military forces. They are different from the Zhongke system and are more mysterious and hidden.

Chen Yunqi said: "There are currently more than 200 domestic companies that can make sensors, and they have a complete range of varieties. But the problem is that no one can achieve the world's top level. If all domestic sensors are used, I am afraid that in the end, we will It will also become second-rate.”
