"This is also the project we invested in. With computer design software, it will save a lot of money and time."

Xie Kai really couldn't understand why Qi Zhiyuan, who had always been to the naval equipment department and wanted to invest all the funds in the naval equipment field, opposed their provisions to 701's microcomputers specially developed for design.

"Our base has supported their supercomputer with a computing speed of 10 billion times per second. It was not long since it was built, and the entire cost was more than 200 million yuan, and it was not paid a penny. They were planning to introduce Autodesk's CAD. The foreign exchange was originally planned to allow us to advance the payment first and then deduct it from the R&D funds. You know, our annual funds have been through multiple rounds of budgets..."

Although Qi Zhiyuan pulled Xie Kai aside, his voice could be heard by Zheng Ming and others nearby.

Xie Kai looked over and found that the few of them had no sense of embarrassment at all.

"At worst, we just support their computers. This is for national defense..." Xie Kai doesn't care. No matter how high the cost is, a microcomputer will not cost more than 30,000 yuan.

And it can only be used for design.

"If it's just them, it's not a problem. They proposed a thousand computers before, but it would only cost 50 million yuan. But have you ever thought about how many units we have cooperated with and gave 701 yuan, what do other units think?"

Qi Zhiyuan's flowers made Xie Kai silent.

In China, we have always been worried about inequality and inequality.

They are all brother units that cooperate, and many units even cooperated with Hongqi Group a few years ago. Hongqi Group ate meat, but they could only drink soup, and they didn't say anything.

701 is different. Although it is cooperation, they provide technology and 404 pay.

It would be strange if it spreads out, other units have no other ideas.

"Then let them buy it." Xie Kai did think so.

If all units were provided with special computers for free by Hongqi Group, a large number of products would reduce the cost of these computers and would also make Hongqi Group more burdened and would not be able to provide them to all users at all.

That would require at least billions of dollars.

"Your one is too expensive, 50,000 yuan per unit! And it's only for drawings!" Yao Hui was not polite at all.

There was no awareness of eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

Xie Kai didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

If you don’t understand the situation, you have to go back and understand the situation.

"What's the specific thing? I'll go back and learn about the situation first. No matter what, the country is calling for the removal of drawing boards. We should really get rid of it. The American design unit began to use computers on a large scale in the 1980s. The R&D speed can not only accelerate, but also reduce costs..."

The 701 people were not surprised by Xie Kai's similar shirking words.

"Mr. Xie, don't forget the Soviet technicians. Do more. Don't worry, we will come up with a plan as soon as possible." When sending a few people to the airport, Yao Hui did not forget to remind Xie Kai, don't forget to help them build Soviet aircraft carrier experts.

"Everyone is short of money now. If it weren't for you, 701 would not have undertaken so many tasks. Carrying out so many project research at the same time will be a lot of pressure for any unit." Zheng Ming was worried that Xie Kai would feel a grudge.

Qi Zhiyuan and some units under the Navy Equipment have had a lot of trouble.

The reason is nothing else, it is the funding issue.

Most design units need to seek funding from superiors.

Some people who belong to the field of folk products can help design folk products and obtain funds.

But for design units like 701, the ship design capabilities are absolutely the best in the country, but they have a large number of military equipment projects and do not even have enough project staff, so they naturally do not have the energy to take over civilian product design tasks to subsidize.

"If it is a national task, the Ministry of Finance will give a budget. However, these projects are all independent projects and the Ministry of Finance will not give a penny. The Navy not only needs to improve the construction of supporting facilities, but also support the research and development of key technologies. At the same time, the navy's equipment also needs to be updated..." Zheng Ming's face was full of loneliness.

The Navy also wants good equipment.

The Navy also wants to go deep blue.

However, the foundation of naval equipment is the worst among all industrial fields in the country.

From high-strength special steel used in warships, to structural strength design, to various systems installed on warships, they are all too backward.

In the 1980s, I knew that the performance of the Type 051 destroyer was lagging behind, but I had no other choice. The idea of ​​introducing it from abroad was not without. At that time, I was preparing to introduce the British Type 42 destroyer, which was known as the world's most advanced, and even the negotiations were almost done.

Then, the naval battle broke out.

The expensive Sheffield was sunk by the Flying Fish Anti-ship missile launched by the Argentine Air Force's Super Flag fighter.

The world's 200 million-dollar most advanced destroyer is silent in the Atlantic Ocean. If the Chinese Navy is advanced, it will not buy it, right?

Therefore, the Chinese Navy, whose equipment has continued to be updated and upgraded, would rather continue to build backward Type 051 missile destroyers than buy warships like the British that were easily sunk.

Advanced and useful, you must be durable and have strong combat capabilities.

Of course, China has always been willing to buy equipment only, but often buys technology together.

And now, what Zheng Ming said undoubtedly made Xie Kai feel heavy.

All things are all for money.

"This is true in all fields. People's industry and technology have been developing for hundreds of years. How many years have we been? All aspects need investment, so we can only give priority to solving our needs..." Qi Zhiyuan saw Xie Kai's expression and hurriedly reminded Xie Kai not to even ignore the interests of the base.

Xie Kai is often not that rational.

This is also the reason why Xie Kai is unwilling to manage the base and the base management committee does not force it later.

If the highest person in charge of any unit is irrational, he will lead the company into the abyss.

Xie Kai also knew his problems.

"We can only take it slowly in the Navy. We can provide computer matters at a cost price, but we can definitely not provide it for free. The entire 404 needs a lot, and the demands of brother units with cooperative relationships are also very large. We cannot support the development of the entire field. Even the country can only take it slowly step by step." Qi Zhiyuan saw what Zheng Ming had to say, and then spoke to block his words.

The 404 base cannot support the development of the entire science and technology system!

That's the truth.

"In recent years, we have developed very quickly, so more and more units want to join us. They are for project autonomy, funds, talents, etc., but they don't know how much pressure this will put on us..."

Qi Zhiyuan's words were full of vicissitudes.

Hongqi Group is under great pressure now.

"We're not nothing," Zheng Ming was displeased.

"Okay, computer-aided design must be promoted, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the problem of tight manual labor. Manual drawing is inefficient and prone to errors..." Xie Kai sighed.

After all, isn't it just because of money?

Anyway, he had made up his mind. No matter how short of money, he would not earn any more for the base.

What you can do is almost done.

You can't think that he can do anything, otherwise the ending will not be very good.

The foundation for the development of the base has been completed.

As long as there is no big problem, it will be fine.

Almost all kinds of money-making industries are involved in 404.

Some core key industries have also completed their layout.

Xie Kai is waiting for graduate school now and then live seriously.

He would not be like the old couple. He knew how to live very well, but just for more money, he lost his life.

The old couple are busy making money all day long, and they don’t touch the ground. They even ask someone to help take care of their children. Sometimes Xie Kai even has to cook for the two children...

"The production cost of our one is more than 40,000 yuan. Do you think they are willing to do it? I thought how much money we made... This is not the cost of drawing software. The drawing software is for them to use for free!" Qi Zhiyuan complained.

Xie Kai widened his eyes and looked at Qi Zhiyuan.

Why is it so expensive!

The top-notch microcomputers are not as expensive as that.

This is just the production cost.

How can it be so expensive?

Microcomputers imported from abroad, plus the profits of distributors at all levels, are not so expensive.

The 404-produced one costs more than 40,000 yuan, and it’s just the cost price!

Is it because of military use?

When Xie Kai and his friends arrived at the base and found Professor Ni Guangnan, who was in charge of this matter, they knew what was going on.

It's really because of military use that causes such high costs.

Especially when Xie Kai saw the microcomputer in front of him, he was completely confused.

Even if a hundred thousand 359 tanks crushed him, he would not be speechless.

Compared to the supercomputer used by the base, the microcomputer in front of me is indeed small enough.

But compared to normal personal PCs, this thing is much bigger.

It is not a commonly used host like a foreign PC, but it is just a small box placed under the monitor.

The PC in front of me seems even more bulky than the arcade machine designed by Xie Kai at the beginning.

The more I look at it, the more I look like an arcade, but the keys and handles of the arcade are replaced by keyboard and mouse.

Fortunately, the keyboard and mouse are active.

Otherwise, Xie Kai would really think this is an arcade machine.

"You know, military use does not necessarily require too advanced technology, but it must have stable performance. These microcomputers are designed for the development of top-level technical equipment, so the performance is too poor... Just look at this microcomputer, using the 32-bit chip developed before Factory 691, and for a higher computing speed, four processors are directly used... In order to achieve better heat dissipation effect, a heat dissipation system is specially designed..."

"Boss Ni, our thing is so expensive, how can we sell it?" Xie Kai didn't want to continue listening.

real.

Military manufacturing, in other words, can be said to be stupid, slutty, ugly, and black.
