174 The Batumi Embargo

Zhao Xi received the reply and left happily. Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin looked helpless and even wondered whether they would not let Xie Kai interfere in the base in the future.

"Now you think I'm messing around, and I'll be grateful to me in the future." Xie Kai knew the two of them and couldn't explain too much.

"Now, let's consider the chip issue." Zheng Yucheng resisted the urge to beat Xie Kai up.

The source of the 68000 chip is a problem that must be solved so far.

In negotiations with Pakistanis these days, Zheng Yu and Chengdu are thinking about this matter. Without a stable source of chips, all the base's businesses will be affected and cannot develop.

"This is indeed a very serious problem. Most of our products need this kind of chip. It is currently unproductive at home and is embargoed to us internationally." Wang Guilin also nodded. "Made it yourself, the conditions and technology of our base are insufficient."

The base's products and high-tech content all require data processing chips.

There is no stable supply of high-performance chips in China.

The laboratory in the base cannot produce chips with 68,000 transistors.

Even if it is produced, the volume will be very large. Not to mention the power consumption and cost, it cannot be installed in the gaming machine substrate and missile just by volume.

Negotiations with Pakistanis have been continuing. The negotiations between the two sides reached a deadlock again yesterday, and they simply stopped for one day today.

Zheng Yucheng and others hope to solve the problem of chip source.

"Brother Quan has no channels in Xiangjiang? They had two thousand before." Xie Kai didn't know what Liu Dongsheng was doing, and he hasn't come back for so long.

No news either.

If you have a cell phone, just call and ask, but unfortunately there isn't.

The production of gaming substrates has been continuing, and there is no chip.

Under the current circumstances of the base, one thousand of the two thousand chips, of which one has become a thousand sets of CNC systems; the remaining one thousand cannot meet the current demand for the base.

A vanguard missile requires 4, an excavator's auxiliary system requires at least two, not to mention the research on tank fire control systems...

"I got 600 pieces now, and I haven't got it yet." Zheng Yucheng shook his head, "It's not easy to make such things in Hong Kong if foreign companies are open to supply them."

"Didn't they register a game console company? It's used for game console production, isn't it a problem?" Xie Kai didn't expect such a problem to occur.

It is completely inconsistent with previous expectations.

"There is no problem for the introduction of game console companies. Motorola requires personnel to be sent to supervise their chip use." Zheng Yucheng looked helpless.

Xie Kai was even more shocked.

Is Motorola not a company that exists to make money?

Do they look down on a large number of orders?

The fact that such harsh conditions were put forward was clearly to prevent Brother Quan and his game console company from transferring the chips to the mainland.

The international embargo on the mainland is so severe!

"This method basically doesn't work?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng with an ugly face. "Even if they produce game consoles in mainland China, will they supervise?"

"It is not a matter of supervision when the chips are shipped to mainland China for production. The other party simply disagrees and is now negotiating on this aspect." Wang Guilin's words told Xie Kai how naive his original idea was.

The Batumi embargo is not just a decoration.

The strictness of the embargo on China is far greater than the embargo on the Soviet Union.

"We can't buy it internationally; but we can't produce it domestically and have the production capacity, and we don't want to produce it if it's troublesome." Zheng Yucheng told Xie Kai that if the problem of chip source and stable supply are not solved, the development of the base will be in a very dangerous situation.

"Why don't you communicate with Factory 742? This kind of chip will have greater uses in the future." Xie Kai once again felt that it was so difficult to do something in this era.

The chips affected all his plans.

Not to mention the existing ones, even the J-6-modified drone must have such high-performance chips.

The technicians at the 404 base are gradually familiar with the performance of this chip, and it is the most suitable to use this chip.

If they cannot get supply, they cannot find alternative chips.

"Don't expect Factory 742. I have also visited them there before. Even if there are superiors who say hello, their attitude is very obvious. They can give priority to the integrated circuit chips needed for color TVs; only if they can be re-lined, it is not possible." Wang Guilin saw that Factory 742 said, so he didn't get angry.

The only large-scale integrated circuit production line in China, one or two products are in short supply in China, and the units that need it line up at the factory gate, so they naturally would not transform the production line for 404 and produce hundreds of thousands of chips.

"It's not their fault. They have not even made stable production of chips that match color TVs." Zheng Yucheng could understand Factory 742. "Who is willing to take risks without a unit like us who is in a desperate situation? Who is willing to trouble?"

He is right. As long as there are no competitors in China, there will always be supply in short supply.

After the introduction of the first color TV production line in China, hundreds of color TV production lines were introduced in a swarm, and all the demands were derived from imports.

Low-performance chips used in color TVs cannot meet the needs of 404 at all, and even more blocks can be used to connect.

"These chips will not be banned from Pakistan internationally, right?" Xie Kai suddenly asked, "Is it possible to introduce them from the United States through Pakistan? Their friendship with the United States is not too bad."

"What does Pakistan need such chips in large quantities? Internationally, 68,000 chips are mainly used in the industrial control field and some military fields. There is no reason for Pakistan to demand hundreds of thousands of pieces." Wang Guilin reminded Xie Kai not to count on Pakistan, "They will not have too much problem if they make a few thousand yuan."

If Pakistan is asked to make thousands of dollars, there is no profit and the government has to make connections. How could someone do this?

"There are thousands of dollars to be thousands of dollars. Try it. They can do as much as they can. As long as they can get chips for us, they might as well make more concessions during negotiations." Xie Kai said gritting his teeth.

Both Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin heard helplessness from what he said.

"Aren't you planning to cooperate with Factory 691 before? Otherwise, we will go and see their side first. If it can be solved, there will be no need to be such a problem." Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.

"Far-water cannot quench near-thirst. Even if 691 can be provided, it will probably not meet the quantity we need. We must be fully prepared, especially the production of game consoles. Once started, the demand will be too large." Xie Kai was worried about the source of chips from the beginning.

Worry is now a fact.

The arcade he created will not be launched in two years before Capcom will be launched, so he is not in a hurry, but hopes to find a stable chip supply channel.

The chip supply is now unstable, and even the equipment production of the base cannot be guaranteed, let alone game consoles.

"If Motorola agrees to carry out production in the mainland, even if they send surveillance personnel, we have a way to get the chip out." Zheng Yucheng took a deep breath.

"The problem is that people don't agree." Xie Kai said, "Only when we can produce ourselves in our country, we won't be strangled."

If we wait a few more years, more advanced chips abroad will appear in the market in large numbers, and it will be easy to make such chips in China. By that time, the daylily will be cold.

"Then we can only seek cooperation from Factory 691. Factory 742 has no hope. Even if Factory 691 has the ability to provide it, we still need to solve the current gap before this. The order for one thousand game consoles has been signed, and the substrate has been reversed..." Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai awkwardly.

The game substrate is produced, just install the chip and copy the game inside, and it will be done.

Nowadays, Zheng Yu has become the source of funding for the base. He did not consider that it was signed by the contract, but instead used the chips to missile production and excavator production. Even so, this is not enough.

Xie Kai looked at him and his lips moved. What could he say?

If there is a stable source, no one is willing to do such a thing.

"When will the negotiations with Pakistan continue? If there is no rush, let's go to Factory 691 first?" Xie Kai doesn't know how to resolve the problem now.

Getting some through Pakistan is also taking time.

The talk must be discussed. How much they can provide? No matter how high the conditions are, as long as they can be accepted, Xie Kai believes that they must accept it.

No matter what happens outside, it is even more worry-free than being able to produce yourself.

"We can go there first. It will be difficult for Pakistan to reach a constant opinion in a short period of time." Zheng Yucheng understood Xie Kai's meaning.

Don't miss the negotiations with Pakistan.

The 404 base cannot provide the conditions for producing high-performance chips, and the domestic technology in this area is itself backward.

Factory 691 has always been a unit that provides high-performance control chips for space missiles and rockets. If they cannot solve it, the 404's trouble will be really big.

"Take the drawings on, let Shen Haipeng go there together." Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.

Xie Kai nodded. Shen Haipeng was responsible for this part. He must have to go to future technical communication. It will be beneficial to take him with him when he first contacted him.

"Will they receive us? Don't be turned away when the time comes." This is what Xie Kai fears the most.

Nowadays, the units with great skills have projects and many production tasks, and their lives are booming.

I have always ignored the business that comes to the door.

"I had no news. I had already communicated with them by phone. I was very interested in cooperation in this area. After I brought it in from the production line of Factory 742, they followed me to learn from it." Wang Guilin asked Xie Kai to dispel his doubts.
