Chapter 11 The signal amplifier is ready
Hu Jiangshan was a little surprised. This seawater desalination treatment facility is quite expensive, at half a million Hong Kong dollars, even more expensive than a tidal power station.
And the construction period is also relatively long, taking ten days.
By the standards of tidal power stations, this desalination seawater treatment facility project seems to be quite small.
Hu Jiangshan immediately started the construction process without saying a word.
A progress bar appears on the interface and it has started running.
Everything is ready. In ten days, a desalination facility will be built on General Island.
In this way, the water source problem can be solved.
There is electricity and water, which is great.
If Hu Jiangshan is willing, he can even live on Jiangjun Island.
Building a house on General Island can be regarded as a proper holiday island.
In fact, this is not Hu Jiangshan’s random imagination.
If the future semiconductor production line is completed, it will definitely require a lot of debugging. Hu Jiangshan really has to live on the island and it is impossible to travel back and forth.
That would be too tiring and a waste of time.
Precision manufacturing is not simple. Even if a semiconductor production line is very advanced and has the ability to produce advanced chips, it does not mean that it can automatically produce advanced chips when the machine is turned on.
The production of chips involves the concept of yield, especially for the production of advanced chips, where the yield is almost impossible to reach 100%.
In fact, in 2018, Island Semiconductor's technical strength was already very strong, but its yield rate was far from reaching its peak.
Island Semiconductor's seven-nanometer chip process technology is okay, but the five-nanometer chip process has just begun to mature and is far from reaching the 90% yield rate in the later period.
The semiconductor production line built by Technology Engine APP should be very advanced, but Hu Jiangshan also does not think it is a fool-type production line.
Otherwise, the construction cost of this production line would not be as much as 10 million, indicating that there is still a high technical threshold.
Hu Jiangshan was cautious and did not leave immediately. He walked around the island again, but did not find a fence suddenly appearing anywhere.
It’s strange, hasn’t construction started yet?
It was already dark at this time, and although I could still see things, it was actually quite eye-catching.
After all, this is a deserted island, there are no other people, and there have been massacres.
Hu Jiangshan also found that the tide had begun to rise. The only beach on the island was half flooded, and the reef area was also submerged.
Nothing happened at the dock, which showed that a deep-water dock could indeed be built here to dock large ships.
Today's sea style was extraordinarily grand. Hu Jiangshan boarded the Haima and immediately felt comfortable.
At night, the sea became very unstable and it felt unsafe to sail.
Hu Jiangshan thought about it and decided not to go back tonight and just sleep here for one night.
Anyway, there is everything on the boat, there is nothing to freeze or starve to.
Hu Jiangshan checked the oil on the ship and found that there was still half of it, which was sufficient.
Hu Jiangshan took out a box of pasta from the refrigerator, a semi-finished product, and just heated it up in the microwave.
After eating, go to bed.
Unexpectedly, the quality of sleep on the ship was quite high. Hu Jiangshan slept until early the next morning.
Hu Jiangshan walked to the private outdoor front deck outside the master bedroom and was stunned by the beautiful scenery.
The sea is blue and the sky is blue, and seagulls fly across the sky from time to time, leaving behind their crisp calls.
It is indeed stunningly beautiful. No wonder rich people buy yachts. There is no other way but it is worth it. This is how you enjoy life. Hu Jiangshan went back to the restaurant to eat something, and then went to the island again.
Finally, Hu Jiangshan saw the new construction site.
Hey guys, a large area has been fenced off.
Hu Jiangshan was stunned. He didn't expect the area to be so large. It seemed to be four or five times larger than the tidal power station.
But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.
Desalination of seawater is a large project. If the facility is too small, it means that the seawater treatment capacity is not enough, and how can it afford semiconductor production.
When Hu Jiangshan saw such a huge construction site, he felt very at ease and reliable.
Hu Jiangshan drove the Haima back to Hong Kong Island.
In the next few days, Hu Jiangshan stayed at home in his apartment and became a homebody, printing parts for signal amplifiers.
That 3D printer was more inefficient than Hu Jiangshan imagined.
The printing speed is too slow, and the accuracy is difficult to control. It is sometimes high and sometimes low. Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan is a top scientist, and he is professional when it comes to these precision machines.
Hu Jiangshan modified the 3D printer himself, and finally it was able to meet his requirements.
But this also delayed two days, so it took a full week to print these parts before they were finally completed.
Hu Jiangshan spent another whole day assembling all the parts.
The signal amplifier is finally completed.
Hu Jiangshan looked at the assembled instruments and breathed a sigh of relief.
This instrument is as big as a 24-inch suitcase. It is not small, but it is not bulky either. The key is that it is powerful and highly sophisticated. It can be said that it is a product beyond this era.
To be honest, Huayao is now a Blue Star communications giant and is absolutely invincible technically. However, if Huayao's top engineers are asked to study this signal amplifier made by Hu Jiangshan, they will definitely be shocked.
Hu Jiangshan turned on the power and tested the effect. It was excellent. The signals of all major operators including Huaguo were all satisfactory.
The next step is to take this equipment to General Island and install it on the lighthouse.
After working hard for a while, Hu Jiangshan felt quite tired. He poured himself a cup of coffee and read the news on his mobile phone.
The current news website on Hong Kong Island is relatively fast, but there are also a lot of rhythmic news.
Even if it is the same news, various media will interpret it differently. Even rumors are flying everywhere, lies are told with open eyes, and news information that confuses black and white is everywhere.
Of course, as a time traveler, Hu Jiangshan cannot be led to the rhythm, because he knows most of the important events, and what he doesn't know is basically artist gossip.
At this time, a piece of news attracted his attention.
[Huayao is anxious and is negotiating with Island Semiconductor to prioritize Huayao's chip orders]
Hu Jiangshan clicked on the title and read the content. It was very different from what he knew about the course of events.
Although the United States has not officially banned Island Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. from manufacturing chips for Huayao, there are already signs of that happening.
The news said that everyone at Huayao has begun to panic, and is now trying its best to persuade Island Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to prioritize the production of Huayao's chip orders.
Including Kirin series, Shengteng series, Tiangang series...
They are all famous chip series.
At this time, Huayao's chip design capabilities have surpassed American Gaoxin and are catching up with Fruit.
If the United States had not imposed sanctions, Huayao's chip IC design would have reached the top in just one year.
