Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 595: 2 scarcity and 1 penetration

While the &nbsal-1 system has been enthusiastically pursued by major TV organizations at the user level, it has also created a huge sensation in the IT industry. [No pop-up window...]

First of all, the value and prospects of the Fangyuan computer architecture have been verified once again, thereby further enhancing the confidence of all members of this alliance.

It can be said that from Fangyuan personal computers to Fangyuan workstations and Fangyuan servers, the entire product line is technically handed down.

This flexible mechanism provides the veteran alliance members who have been working on Fangyuan personal computers for a long time with an opportunity to enter the more profitable high-end application field. It can be said that there is a hope; for those such as traditional home appliance companies For new members of the category, the relatively low threshold brought by the increasingly sophisticated Fangyuan personal computer with a degree of componentization just meets the need for rapid expansion of its existing brands.

In the case of HP, the Fangyuan PC compatible machine manufactured by it, as a cheap terminal with existing it solutions, fills the gap in the low-end product line; when one sees that Fangyuan workstations and dec minicomputers compete vigorously Later, it also moved to try.

Samsung Electronics is a successful example of the second situation. The production of Fangyuan personal computers is not difficult for it, and it just allows its own brand to quickly enter the computer field.

Secondly, the technically integrated digital-1 system is a very successful it solution, which has further pointed the direction for the industry-faster processor performance, larger memory capacity, and stronger software functions. It should be like this.

Finally, the digital-1 system has brought some subtle but not negligible influences to the industrial structure.

For example, in the risc field, the holder processor has become the most successful representative. Another variant, "Yi Peng", is being used on a large scale in Asia, Japan, Singapore and other regions in the form of a license, and it is logically introduced by Tang Huan. Entered China.

ibm is definitely the forerunner of risc. The ibm801 project in the 1970s is a good example, but giant blue has not been able to make a fortune with risc processors like Tang Huan until now.

John Hennessy of Stanford University. As early as 1981, mips was designed. Originally, the 21st-century "Loongson" in time and space was designed according to its authorization, but no actual commercial profit has been generated yet.

Only Tang Huan's holder processor. It has become a model of commercial applications in Fangyuan workstations, Fangyuan servers, and even Fangyuan supercomputers.

This success has further stimulated the R&D boom of risc. Companies large and small have launched their own plans, such as sn company, which currently uses Motorola's processor mc68000 to manufacture workstations. There is a sparc project.

Another emerging field is the digital signal processor that also plays an important role in the digital-1 system. Its success directly pits Texas Instruments.

In the previous price wars for cheap personal computers and the collapse of the North American home video game console market, the company lost to Kang Mao Da, and suffered the biggest loss in history.

For this reason, Texas Instruments, eager to stop losses, had to break his wrist and announced its withdrawal from this field.

After getting out of the way, it is eager to find a new product to get rid of the current dilemma, tms32010 launched last year. It was a breakthrough in the field of digital signal processors, but unfortunately encountered a fierce obstacle.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Tang Huan, he did not do it intentionally, but was caused by its rapid development.

Tang Huan, who has mastered information asymmetry, digs the first pot of gold with spreadsheet software, and after gaining a foothold in the IT industry, he will encounter two interesting "deficiencies" problems.

The first "deficiency" is the lack of infrastructure.

For example, Tang Huan always strives to manufacture computers with better performance, and the various chips he needs are bound to be limited by the level of the semiconductor industry in this era.

In order to stay ahead of the times. Tang Huan, who has "created" semiconductors that meet the requirements, has accumulated enough capital resources, must do it himself, "invent" the tools he needs, such as chemicals, machinery, and technology that did not exist before.

fab1, fab2. fab3. And several other semiconductor factories included in the construction plan are the result of this "invention".

The second "scarcity" is the scarcity of the use market.

Tang Huan has built a computer with better performance, but that doesn't mean that customers will be rushed to buy.

In fact, many outstanding inventions are due to too little market demand. And lead to shelving. The most simple example in the computer field should be regarded as the mouse.

Douglas Engelbart came up with this invention as early as 1968, but because there was no extensive graphical user interface software demand at that time, it has never been able to bring considerable patent income to the inventor.

The &nbsal-1 system is Tang Huan's solution to "stimulate consumption" for the high-end user group of broadcasting and television organizations in order to solve the lack of "uses".

This kind of downward and upward "penetration" in order to solve the two "deficiencies" of "infrastructure" and "use market" will naturally inevitably affect the companies that originally sought to live in this field.

Texas Instruments is just one of the occasions, there are more similar sufferers, such as Sony is another one.

But there is also a difference between the two, that is, Sony can regain the loss through the cooperation with Tang Huan, while Texas Instruments can only swallow the tooth in the stomach.

This also pointed out a clear way for those who stood in the way of Tang Huan’s advancement. If they didn’t lose their fortune, either the strong man would quit with a broken arm, or he would hold his thigh and drink soup.

Tang Huan's penetration in the upper and lower directions, some were powerful, some moisturized things silently, some were very purposeful and straightforward, and some were just passing by.

The penetration into the sensor field caused by dancing mats and camera imager components is a hybrid of all methods.

Tang Huan has taken a place in the "brain" field of processors, and it is time to grab a place in the "sensory" field of sensors.

Putting down the acquisition proposal file submitted by the investment department, Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, weighing various benefits and losses in his heart. Probably because of the goals, some American defense and military contractors were involved.

Established companies such as ibm, HP, Motorola, and Texas Instruments all have such identities. With the development of Tang Huan's career, he naturally extended his tentacles to this application field.

but. The bigger and more delicious the cake, the more important it is to pay attention to the rules drawn by those with vested interests. Tang Huan still doesn't want to be that ugly thorn.

Unable to decide for a while, Tang Huan planned to let the consultant team discuss it for a while. I am preparing to start an Asian trip-visiting South Korea, and worshipping ancestors in China with my aunt Tang Yun, etc.

At this time, James Cameron, who was full of spring breeze, came to see him. After a lot of accumulation, this old man finally emerged in Hollywood, and his director's "The Ultimate" was a blockbuster.

In this year's American summer file, the second installment of the Indiana Jones series, written by George Lucas and directed by Spielberg, "indiahetempleofdoom"-"Legend of the Magic Palace" preemptively strikes. In the four-day weekend at the end of May, nearly 34 million U.S. dollars in the box office was smashed.

Paramount's "Star Trek" series, the third "startrekiii: thesearorspock"-"Stone Breaking", performed well, winning more than 16 million US dollars at the weekend box office.

However, the big winner is Columbia Pictures' horror comedy "ghostbsters"-"Ghostbusters", which has occupied the top spot at the box office for several consecutive weekends.

The characters in the movie, the computer special effects with glazed eyes, left a very deep impression on the audience. Tang Huan’s computer special effects company d2 provides special effects support for him.

In the summer file, which is as strong as ever, "Terminator" is also supported by special effects provided by d2. Debut as a big dark horse.

Compared with the original time and space, James Cameron, who made great contributions to the special effects development of d2 company, got twice the investment from Tang Huan, and the budget exceeded 15 million US dollars, so the film quality is more assured.

In the end, "Terminator" won a box office of 75 million US dollars in the summer file, and it is not a big problem to rank in the top ten of the year.

The evaluation of this film mainly focused on the degree of violence. Even if James Cameron restrained according to the suggestions in advance, such criticism still cannot be avoided.

but. The positive comments of professional film critics and the popularity of the audience are also closely related to this element, because there are enough and skilled sci-fi noir techniques in the film. Come to satisfy fans of action movies.

Undoubtedly, the special effects of d2 company once again took off, bringing the gorgeous "cool" that "Terminator" needs to the fullest. The hearty fighting of the ultimate, the image of a robot that is disguised as a human being destroyed, and the scene of being burned and crushed, leaving the audience in a state of horror where the backbone is cold. Excessive stimulating addiction.

In addition to commercial and cultural success, "Terminator" also completed three people.

Judy Foster, who plays the heroine Sarah Connor, can be regarded as getting out of the haze caused by Reagan's assassination, and at the same time, she has added a rare qualification for her transformation from a child star.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's t-800 Terminator continues the "cool" he showed in the 1982 movie "Conan the Barbarian", giving it a more well-known big-screen image. You know, if an actor wants to get a classic in his career, he can meet but not ask for it.

Of course, the person who has benefited the most is James Cameron. With the proof of "Terminator", he will no longer be the crappy little director who is looked down upon.

This "carp leaping over the dragon gate" experience also made James Cameron grateful to Tang Huan, who has been supporting him. This time he ran over, naturally for the movie.

Now that "Terminator" has been a big success, then it is natural to consider the issue of shooting a sequel. Taking advantage of the prestige of the victory, desperately squeezing the commercial value of successful themes, whether in Hong Kong or Hollywood, is a consistent method.

James Cameron is confident that he has met Tang Huan since 1979 and accumulated friendships, and the real business benefits brought by "Terminator". He should be able to apply for the various resources needed to shoot the sequel. very smooth. Besides, the idea of ​​a sequel was given to him very early.

However, the problem is that James Cameron’s brain d is a bit bigger this time. He designed a robot that is more advanced than the t-800 in "The Ultimate"-the t-1000.

Like &nbs-800, t-1000 has a human appearance and can perfectly imitate anyone's voice; the difference is that its body is composed of y-state metal controlled by autonomous consciousness, which can restore itself after being destroyed, and it can be lost. Reconstruction, after being injured or shot, it will automatically close the wound and restore its y-state metal body. "

James Cameron picked up the folder on the table, gestured and explained, "The t-1000 can be arbitrarily changed between the y-body and the solid. This allows it to become the y-state flowing all over, or to travel When ironing the railing, turn part of the body into a y-state, and then return to a solid state after crossing."

&nbs-1000 can be turned into a pool of water that merges with the ground ~www.wuxiahere.com~ so as to avoid the detection of ordinary people, and can also be deformed as a whole to simulate any person it has touched, or any part of the body Turned into a metal weapon such as a knife. "

Because he was talking too hard, James Cameron, who was a little forgetful, poured water from the cup on the folder to demonstrate the idea he had come up with.

However, he immediately woke up and quickly wiped it with his sleeve, and added: "As for the way to eliminate t-1000, it is to dissolve it in a steelmaking furnace."

Tang Huan listened with interest and nodded from time to time. In addition to being a successful commercial film, "Terminator" also makes people talk about the threat of artificial intelligence to humans. It is really a good topic at the moment. This is also a major reason why he keeps paying attention.

"Since the idea is so perfect, then set up a project." Tang Huan smiled faintly, "but you ran to me and explained for a long time, maybe you found that the brain d was too big, and the computer special effects were in no way. To be continued.)
