Chapter 131 The power is tight and there is not enough power (big chapter, please subscribe)
Hu Jiangshan started the central control room interface and passed the administrator certification.
This is equivalent to successful facility acceptance.
Hu Jiangshan also operates the management system and studies the functions of the facilities.
After all, Hu Jiangshan is a professional, a top scientist, and an expert in applied physics, applied chemical materials, and electronic circuits. Of course, he can grasp these things with his hands.
Soon, Hu Jiangshan understood the operating logic of the facility.
Simply put, facility functions are divided into two blocks.
One is design and the other is manufacturing.
The system has preset models of various parts and components, as well as design drawings.
If you think it’s not enough, or you feel your skills are poor, you can also design and draw your own.
Of course, after the design is completed, the operation verification can also be carried out in the system.
Hu Jiangshan looked at the bottom layer of the system. It was very powerful, at least at the supercomputing level.
This is also normal. Without such powerful computing power, it would be impossible to run the design virtually.
No wonder this facility is called the "Special Tools and Equipment R&D and Manufacturing Center", it is indeed very powerful.
And this is just the basic level. If you upgrade it further, I really can’t imagine what you can do.
Hu Jiangshan took a look at the special equipment preset in the system.
【Indoor cleaning robot】
[Outdoor multifunctional cleaning robot]
…
Hu Jiangshan saw a series of cleaning robots.
That's really useful if the automation is really high.
You know, there is no cleaning on the island now.
The cleaning work of the office is done by Zhang Rui and other team members who take turns on duty.
Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui discussed whether to find two or three cleaners, but they both felt that the risk was too great.
The turnover of cleaning staff is very high, and confidentiality clauses are ineffective for them.
If there is a cleaning robot, it will be much easier for team members.
Hu Jiangshan scrolled down further and finally saw something more useful.
[Tree planting and maintenance robot]
This thing is urgently needed for Hu Jiangshan.
To improve the ecological environment on General Island, we really need to rely on these things.
Without these equipment, Hu Jiangshan would not be able to make a usable object no matter how high his design level was.
Hu Jiangshan had never thought of using a 3D printer to build a tree-planting robot before, but the 3D printer at this time was simply not enough.
Even during the time of Hu Jiangshan's previous life, civilian 3D printers would hardly have any great effect unless they were industrial grade ones.
Well now, the 3D printers and assembly equipment in this facility can completely handle complex mechanical structures.
Hu Jiangshan opened the equipment drawings of the "Tree Planting and Maintenance Robot" and studied it.
I have to say that the design level is very high and completely adequate.
But Hu Jiangshan was not satisfied. He made considerable improvements to the robot's design drawings based on the topography of Jiangjun Island.
In theory, such a design can not only improve movement efficiency, but also prevent erosion by sea wind and sea water.
After finishing the design, more than an hour passed.
Hu Jiangshan ran a virtual operation to simulate the normal operation of the equipment.
The test actually takes two hours, which seems to be a lot of calculation.
At this moment, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.
It was Zhang Rui who called.
Hu Jiangshan answered the phone, and Zhang Rui's anxious voice came from the other side.
"Boss, it's bad, there's something wrong with the power system."
Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"The specific situation is unknown. The production line system prompts that there is insufficient power, and the production efficiency has dropped!"
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look right away."
Hu Jiangshan immediately left the facility and went all the way to the semiconductor production line.
Wafer production is the core business, and there must be no problems.
Hu Jiangshan came to the central control room and saw Zhang Rui, Du Jiahui and others busy, seemingly looking for the cause.
Hu Jiangshan walked over and asked, "Dr. Zhang, what's going on?"
Zhang Rui quickly replied: "The system suddenly prompted a warning message just now, saying that the battery was low, so we activated the reserve power supply in an emergency, but it couldn't last long."
The so-called reserve power supply is actually several sets of energy storage batteries. Once there is a problem with the power system, it can be temporarily used.
The power of the energy storage battery can last up to three or four hours, so the problem must be found as soon as possible.
Hu Jiangshan thought about it for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Don't worry, I'll go out and check first."
Zhang Rui nodded and watched Hu Jiangshan go out again.
Hu Jiangshan hurried to the tidal power station.
Since there is a problem with the power system, let’s check the source.
Most of the facilities on Jiangjun Island are accessible only to Hu Jiangshan.
Hu Jiangshan entered the control center of the tidal power station to check the power status.
Strange, it seems to be running normally...
Suddenly, Hu Jiangshan saw the warning prompt.
[The power consumption of the facility increases, the power is loaded, and there may be a power shortage. 】
Sure enough, Hu Jiangshan's judgment was correct.
The special tool equipment R&D and manufacturing center consumes a lot of power. Once it starts operating, the power generated by the tidal power station will not be enough.
The solution now is also very simple, that is to shut down the species tool facilities as soon as possible.
But that is not a long-term solution. If the facilities built cannot be used, they were not built in vain.
The key is that special tools are necessary.
Hu Jiangshan had an idea and immediately took out his mobile phone and opened the Technology Engine app.
Find the list of built facilities and click on the Tidal Power Station.
Sure enough, the tidal power station is only at the elementary level now and can be upgraded.
[Clue]: Tidal power station
[Level]: Intermediate
[Prerequisite]: Primary tidal power station
[Construction period]: 8 days
[Capital investment]: 8.5 million Hong Kong dollars
Hu Jiangshan had a headache after seeing these contents.
Especially since it still costs 6 million Hong Kong dollars, it gives me a headache and body aches.
Now Hu Jiangshan's cash flow is not enough, only 30 million is available.
This does not include this month’s staff wages.
It's really painful to get rid of 8.5 million at once.
But no matter how unhappy it is, the tidal power station must be upgraded.
All facilities on General Island require electricity, and a large amount of electricity. This worry must be solved as soon as possible.
Fortunately, it only takes eight days to complete the upgrade, which is quite fast.
Hu Jiangshan pressed the OK button.
The screen interface changes to a progress bar.
Hu Jiangshan came out of the tidal power station and looked back at the facilities. He felt that nothing had changed. Is it still just upgrading the system?
No matter, let him be.
Hu Jiangshan came to the "Special Tools and Equipment R&D and Manufacturing Center" again and found that the simulation test had ended.
Hu Jiangshan called Zhang Rui to confirm that the power supply had been restored.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Now Hu Jiangshan’s main task is to mass produce Kirin 990+.
The current mass production progress is pretty good, with more than 600,000 units completed.
This was accomplished with a yield rate of less than 80%. Now that Zhang Rui and the others are improving the process technology, the yield rate should soon increase to over 80%.
It's still some time before Huayao P30 is officially released, and Hu Jiangshan is thinking about how to get one million chips in advance.
Otherwise Huayao would definitely be anxious.
Hu Jiangshan has already experienced Wang Chengdong's power of urging orders, and he can urge his life away.
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, the Ministry of Commerce was eagle-eyed.
It was the morning of Eagle Lijian, and a black Ford SUV parked in the compound of the Ministry of Commerce.
Gina Raimundo jumped out of the cab and walked into her office with steady and firm steps.
Leifengduo called his assistant Casey in.
Kathy asked respectfully: "What are your orders? Ms. Raimondo.
"Kathy, make me a cup of coffee and show me your skills."
"Okay, Ms. Raimundo, please wait a moment."
Kathy is a master at making coffee.
The Eagle-style coffee brewed by Kathy has a rich aroma and a long aftertaste. Raimondo likes it very much and drinks at least three cups every day.
Why not have a fourth drink?
Because Raymondo was afraid that he would not be able to sleep at night.
A moment later, Casey came in with coffee, and the office was filled with the aroma of coffee.
This made Raimundo feel better.
Raimundo was holding coffee and looking at the green lawn outside, feeling like he was already in heaven.
Objectively speaking, it is not easy for Raymondo to take the position of Minister of Commerce.
Raimondo is a member of the Squid tribe and a lawyer. Although he has an aura, he has paid a lot to get all this.
After finishing the coffee, Raimundo called Casey in again and asked, "Are Vincent and Tom here?"
Casey hesitated and said, "Vincent is already here, but Tom hasn't arrived yet."
Raimondo raised his eyebrows: "Why not? What time is it now? Will that guy Tom come yet? If he doesn't come, will he ask for leave? Kathy, did I say last time that I would ask for leave from my employees? Attendance is more stringent.”
Casey nodded quickly: "Yes, you did say that, but there is something going on at Tom's family."
"what's up?"
"He said that his father has found a new girlfriend and they have some conflicts that are being resolved."
Casey showed a look of realization: "Oh, no wonder, it's excusable, but Casey, remember to remind Tom not to use his biubiubiu, otherwise he will be in big trouble."
"Don't worry, Ms. Raimondo, I have already advised him, and he knows the importance."
Raimundo added: "Anyway, hurry up and urge him to come over. There are still important meetings to be held today."
Casey quickly went to do it.
Two hours later, Raimondo finally saw Vincent and Tom in the conference room.
The two men were members of the Commerce Department's intelligence office.
Yes, even the Ministry of Commerce has personnel responsible for intelligence.
Although not as professional as the professional agents of the Intelligence Bureau, their abilities are decent, at least enough for the Ministry of Commerce. Their main task is to collect foreign business information.
Channels are through the Internet, and informants.
Raimundo said: "The day after tomorrow I will go to Capitol Hill to face questioning. This is not a good thing. I need you all to take action and collect more information for me."
Vincent said: "No problem, Ms. Raimondo, we have collected a lot of information."
Tom also said, "Yeah, we're working hard."
Raimundo waved his hand: "Okay, here are the test questions. The new semiconductor bill has been introduced for a few months. I want to know how the effect is now."
Vincent said: "Ms. Raimundo, the effect of the Semiconductor Act is very good. As far as I know, many related companies in China are feeling the pressure. I believe that there will be a large number of layoffs and bankruptcies in the near future. ”
Raimundo smiled slightly and even wanted to whistle.
That's what she wanted to hear.
The introduction of the Semiconductor Bill is not just for one company, but for many companies.
But the intensity of targeting is different.
For example, for a certain enterprise that is very harmful, we must make sure that it has no chips to use.
This is the so-called food break plan.
Some other Chinese technology manufacturing companies currently appear to be less threatening, but they cannot be careless, so they limit their production capacity.
How to limit it? It is limited by semiconductor materials.
Now it is difficult to buy enough semiconductor materials in China.
As a result, the other party was in trouble and was struggling to obtain semiconductor materials all day long.
Not only is it a waste of time, it also wastes more money.
For these companies, let alone R&D, their survival has become a problem.
Raimundo said: "Very good, I want to know about Huayao's situation. Some time ago, their flagship mobile phones have been released in large quantities, which has caused a lot of trouble for us, especially the fruit company, which has asked us to investigate this issue several times. What's going on now?"
When Hua Yao was mentioned, Raimundo's face didn't look good.
This is a very difficult company, the most difficult in China.
The main goal of the Semiconductor Act is to kill this company.
After the introduction of the Semiconductor Act, Huayao not only did not collapse immediately, but also sold a large number of flagship mobile phones.
This is obviously a demonstration against the Eagle Lijian Ministry of Commerce.
Of course, Huayao’s chip source is also a big problem.
After so many days of investigation, Ying Lijian's intelligence personnel did not find out the reason.
Of course, no news is the best news.
The intelligence department increasingly feels that Huayao may have used more stock chips than imagined to create an illusion.
In fact, Huayao has no new sources of chips at all, and all chips have been stockpiled in advance.
There is also intelligence that Huayao may be recycling a large number of second-hand mobile phones and removing the chips for secondary polishing and packaging.
Huayao's purpose in doing this is to make people think that they have endless chips.
At this time, Tom smiled slightly: "Ms. Raimondo, I can tell you good news."
"Huh? What's the good news? Tell me."
Huayao has currently stopped selling flagship phones.
"...Huh? Stopped?"
Raimundo sat up straight, his eyes shining with excitement.
"What's the reason? Why stop?"
Tom shrugged: "Ms. Raimundo, I think it's not difficult to guess. Their chip inventory should be at the bottom."
"Oh, that's good news indeed, it looks like their magic is finally gone."
Raimundo was very happy, this was indeed good news.
If Huayao is still selling mobile phones crazily now, their Ministry of Commerce's face will be swollen.
Raimundo asked: "Very good. I originally wanted to introduce more stringent rules for Huayao, but it seems that we don't need them now."
Vincent said: "Ms. Raimundo, Huayao's conspiracy did not succeed. I think they will lay off a large number of people if they can't survive next year."
Raymond nodded, he liked hearing the news in this regard, and asked the two people to talk more.
Wen Linte and Tom started talking in a flurry, which made Raymond very excited and wanted to open a bottle of red wine and have a good time.
Raimondo was in a good mood today, and it was even better now. He spoke softly, and his subordinates naturally relaxed.
The following meeting went very smoothly, and the last topic was completed quickly.
Raimundo said: "Okay, let's drive here. Let's go back to work first."
"Okay!"
Raimondo added: "By the way, you two should collect more information about Huayao. If you find any latest findings, please notify me immediately without any delay."
Vincent and Tom nodded together.
"Okay! Ms. Raimundo, we will work hard right away."
Raimondo packed up his laptop and left.
Vincent and Tom also returned to the office.
Tom said: "Vinson, do you want to go have a drink after get off work?"
"Sure, I've been too busy lately. I haven't been to the bar for three days."
Tom chuckled: "I just went to the bar to chat with two girls."
Vincent waved his hand: "You guy, don't just think about it. Let's do our work first to avoid being scolded by Ms. Raimundo."
"Okay! Let's start working! Just now, Ms. Raimondo asked us to continue the investigation, right?"
"Yes, let's focus on checking Huayao. What are they doing now? What are they going to do in the future? It's best to sort it out. I think Ms. Raimundo will use it at the inquiry meeting in Congress."
Vincent said as he opened the special software.
This software was obtained from the intelligence department and is a powerful retrieval software.
For example, if you target the entire network or mainland China and enter keywords, you can search for related entries.
This is no ordinary search engine. The accuracy and search depth are all super professional.
After all, Ying Lijian's hacker capabilities are also quite strong.
Vincent typed a word into the keyword box.
The letters of Huayao.
Then Vincent pressed the OK button.
A series of information items were extracted one after another.
These are the latest news about Huayao, both in mainland China and internationally.
Mainland China is all in Chinese, but the software has an automatic translation function, so Vincent can roughly understand it.
Vincent glanced at it roughly, and it was basically the same as before.
[Huayao is in trouble and there is almost no hope of climbing out]
[Huayao’s overseas stores are closing one after another, and the situation is getting worse]
[Huayao’s flagship mobile phone has finally been discontinued, and it is suspected that the chip inventory has bottomed out]
[Huayao, which was still selling mobile phones crazily some time ago, has finally stopped selling its phones. The official website has closed the purchase channel for flagship mobile phones]
[Huayao has no hope, and its decline is fully apparent]
When Vincent saw this, he smiled and said to Tom: "I like this sentence, Huayao has no hope."
Tom chuckled: "Vinson, when Huayao is finished, we will be a lot more relaxed, and Ms. Raimondo won't have to keep a straight face every day."
Vincent felt deeply and fully agreed.
You must know that most of the work of the Ministry of Commerce during this period was almost done around Huayao.
They are all studying how to get rid of this technology company.
Now that we finally have a clue, federal employees at the Commerce Department are happy.
Including Raimundo, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Just like Vincent said, as long as you persist, you will never hear Huayao's name again.
Suddenly, Vincent froze.
Because Vincent discovered a different piece of news about Huayao.
[Huayao may release new flagship mobile phone p30 series early next month]
Vincent's eyes widened and he leaned in front of the screen, fearing that he might have seen wrongly.
"...my hair!"
"What's wrong? Vincent, why did you suddenly curse at the screen? Did you see a beautiful girl?"
"Damn it! Tom! Look at this! Is this fake news?"
Tom leaned over and took a look, and his expression changed.
"Oh my god! No way! It must be fake news! It's unbelievable! How could Huayao release a new flagship phone?"
Vincent didn't quite believe it, so he quickly clicked on the message to take a look.
I actually found that this news has both nose and eyes.
Then, Vincent discovered several other messages.
Some are in Mandarin and some are in British.
There is even news that Huayao will release the P30 series of mobile phones globally.
That’s right, we’re talking about global sales.
Vincent and Tom looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.
Tom said: "Contact Wang quickly and hear what he has to say."
Wang, whose name is Wang Ziqiu, is one of the Ministry of Commerce’s informants in mainland China.
Vincent looked at the time, it should be evening in China.
But it doesn’t matter. Chinese people sleep very late and have a rich nightlife. From time to time they go out to eat meat and drink beer.
Even Vincent is envious of this. They can only hang out in dark bars at night.
Sure enough, Wang Ziqiu was online and quickly responded to Vincent's message.
"What's wrong? Vincent."
"Let me ask you something. There is news that Huayao may release a new flagship phone early next month. Is this true?"
Wang Ziqiu quickly responded: "It seems that is the case."
"Is it true? Huayao is really going to release a mobile phone? Aren't their chips almost running out?"
"Then I don't know. Huayao's chip inventory is now a mystery."
"Is it a P30 phone?"
"Yes, it's the P30 series."
When Vincent and Tom saw it, their hearts froze.
"My hair..."
Tom also cursed.
"Vinson, this is true, what should I do?"
Vincent said helplessly: "What else can we do? Tell the boss quickly. If it's delayed, it means we made a mistake in our work."
"Holy shit! Hua Yao is really haunted, and Ms. Raimondo is going to lose her temper again.
A moment later, in the minister's office, Raimundo listened to the news reported by Vincent and Tom, his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
"My hair! Are you kidding me!?"
