Zhu Guoxiong stayed in Jiangwei for two days. Except for visiting the students studying there, he spent most of his time discussing some things with Wan Feng.
It was finally agreed that some components with little confidentiality or extremely low confidentiality levels would be designed and manufactured by Huaguang Technology.
But even if Wan Feng doesn't want to get involved in some relatively advanced components, he has to rely on them to design and manufacture them for the time being.
It is important to emphasize that this is temporary. Once the military has its own design capabilities, there will be no need for Huaguang Technology to do it for them.
After all, the military has just begun to pay attention to this field, and the technical reserves in all aspects are very weak. Someone has to design and manufacture it now, and they can't just sit idle.
Before leaving, Zhu Guoxiong told Wan Feng about some of the things he was going to design this time.
These things include finished products and components. Of course, they don’t have any specific names. They just introduce the functions and performances that these products and components to be designed need to have.
Wan Feng wasn't sure if he could design all these components, as he didn't design this thing himself.
Therefore, I didn't dare to say anything for sure. I just said let's try the design. If it works, it's fine. If not, forget it.
The military is now facing a complex area that they have not been involved in before, and the difficulties can be imagined.
But even if there are ten thousand problems in front of us, we must solve them one by one.
These problems cannot be solved by Nanwan Group alone. If it wants to catch up with the other party quickly, it must develop comprehensively.
Fortunately, it is not too late to mend the fold, and it is still not too late for the military to catch up.
The day after Wan Feng sent Zhu Guoxiong away, Cheng Gong called Wan Feng in Shanghai to give him the good news: He hoped that the second tape-out of No. 2 would be successful. After the first tape-out failed, Cheng Gong actually found inspiration. After redesigning the chip, the number of integrated transistors actually reached one million. This is the first chip of a Chinese enterprise to integrate one million transistors.
Although it has 200,000 fewer transistors than the 486 chip which has 120 transistors, it far exceeds the 386 chip which has only 300,000 transistors.
The clock frequency was also increased from 25MHz of Hope No. 1 to 33MHz, but there is still some gap in this respect compared with 486.
Even if there is a gap, this chip can already threaten the status of Intel's 486 chip.
Compared with Hope No. 2 which has just been successfully taped out, Hope No. 1 has already performed well in the market.
The biggest advantage of Chinese people is that they are good at learning and comparing.
When the Hope No. 1 chip entered the market, although it was initially met with a cold reception, the cold reception did not last long. Some Chinese companies that originally used the 286 chip to make products soon discovered that this chip called Hope No. 1 was not only more than half the price of the 286, but also had performance that was no worse than the 286, and even had a slight surplus.
I hope that sales of Chip No. 1 will start to rise after the Spring Festival.
When Hope No. 2 failed in its first tape-out, the 100,000 Hope No. 1s that Wanfeng had processed extra were not only sold out, but the additional 100,000 were almost sold out as well.
The 200,000 yuan Hope No. 1 actually created tens of millions of profits for Wan Feng.
It is hoped that the good sales of No. 1 will cut the price of Intel's 286 in half.
If the other party lowers the price, Huaguang will follow suit until it reaches the cost price.
Anyway, I hope No. 1 has made a profit. It doesn’t matter if I don’t make money, as long as the other party can’t make money either.
Wan Feng's current goal is to stir up trouble. He cannot interfere with how much money Intel can make in other countries, but he can make it earn as little as possible in the Chinese market.
With less money, Intel's development funds may be affected, and the development speed will naturally slow down. In this way, the release time of its 586 or Pentium may be delayed. Even if it is delayed for one month, it will be a victory.
After the successful tape-out, Cheng Gong rushed back to Jiangwei and took over part of the tasks assigned by Zhu Guoxiong.
Although Hope No. 2 was successful, its cost was much higher than the original Hope No. 1. If the product had no market, the loss of 100,000 tablets would have amounted to tens of millions of yuan.
But Wanfeng is still prepared to sell at a low price. Anyway, the 486 has not yet entered the Chinese market, and it will be impossible to make huge profits when it comes in.
Wan Feng set a very low goal for Hope No. 2: just to break even!
The retail price of Hope No. 2 when it enters the market is set at 280 yuan by Wanfeng, which is half cheaper than the current international price of 486.
With these two chips as a foundation, Huaguang Technology should launch its own chips.
Although Cheng Gong took over some of the tasks assigned by Zhu Guoxiong after returning, after looking at the performance requirements of these components, he handed them over to the military trainees under his command to design them.
It’s not very difficult. What he is going to start now is the research on the Huaguang No. 1 chip.
There are still more than two years before the Pentium processor is released, and he has to design and manufacture Huaguang No. 1 within these two years.
The goal of Huaguang No. 1 is to synthesize two million transistors with a clock frequency of 50MHZ to 60MHz.
Although this chip has better performance than the 486, it still has a huge gap with the Pentium 586 launched in 1993.
But this is not the main point. As long as the program function is successfully developed, it will be a huge victory.
Because this chip program uses almost all of its own technology, it is fundamentally different from Hope No. 1 and Hope No. 2's imitation of 386 and 486 chips.
Once this chip is successfully developed, it will prove that Huaguang finally has the ability to truly design and manufacture chips on its own.

After a month of production, Feiyue Motorcycles' output has finally taken shape, reaching a daily output of more than 350 vehicles.
This increased production by nearly 20% compared to the early days of assembly line production.
The product has recreated the hot sales momentum of AX100.
The trucks of direct sellers coming to pick up goods were piled up in front of the old factory in Nanwan again.
This is only the second time these direct sellers have come here to pick up goods.
A month ago, after they received the first batch of 20 Feiyue motorcycles, they returned to their shop with trepidation. However, as soon as the TV commercial showing Feiyue motorcycles crossing thousands of mountains and rivers was broadcast, Feiyue motorcycles started to become a best-seller.
In more than ten days, the direct sellers sold out the first batch of cars, so they immediately started to purchase the second batch.
Direct sellers complained that the quota of twenty vehicles at a time was not enough.
But there is no way. Now the goods are only distributed to the three northeastern provinces and Neimen, and even the two provinces of Beihe and Dongshan are not yet fully distributed. Of course, it is impossible to meet the demands of these people.
Chen Dao was anxious to build a new production line, but he had no idea what to do. One of the two teams building the production line was building dump trucks, while the other had just finished building pickup trucks and had taken over the production line of point trucks.
Chen Dao became anxious and organized a group of people to do it themselves and have enough food and clothing.
