Chapter 228 New Plan

In the first hour after the G series notebooks were released, this batch of 1,500 notebooks were sold out within 3 minutes.

Half of the users were consumer electronics manufacturers, a small half were media people and laboratories, and the rest were real users.

Users who can buy G1X now can only say that they support domestic products, because the supporting environment is too simple and the supported functions are very few.

In addition to word processing and watching audio and video, although XOS3.2 also has a browser, it also has great limitations, such as not supporting flash plug-ins...

Such a notebook is sold for 8599, which is really too expensive. At the same time, a Lenovo netbook is only 3,000 or 4,000.

It is expensive, but everyone knows the potential of domestic products, not to mention that the epoch-making AI function support can make people feel that the money is worth it.

More importantly, the emergence of G1X has strongly proved the feasibility of ternary technology, at least not worse than binary!

Of course, this is all for ordinary people to see, and high-end laboratories are researching ternary chips all the time.

Beijing University of Science and Technology, Space Quantum Laboratory

In front of Peng Jianfu was a mess of wires connected to a modified motherboard, most of the components on it were removed or replaced, and connected to the test equipment through flying wires.

This is an XC4 car computer motherboard, which has been lying here two months ago.

They first tried to crack the XW151 intelligent system, but because it was cross-base and deliberately encrypted, the cracking process was extremely difficult, and finally gave up.

Then they changed direction and started from scratch, first physically exploring the basic structure of X32115, and then trying to compile the underlying operating environment by themselves to explore the potential of ternary chips.

After more than a month of hard work, the laboratory finally found a way to build a simple basic environment, or operating system, and could perform some tests.

The reason why Peng Jianfu asked the laboratory to work hard to develop X32115 is because he believes that ternary chips may have quantum computing potential, directly surpassing traditional computers in principle.

And just two hours ago, the laboratory just called 9 quantum bits and successfully performed a quantum operation.

Is the quantum computer coming soon...

"G1X? Not as good-looking as our X16."

Shelev looked at the G1X prototype sent by Great Wall with disdain, and then picked up the X16 notebook that Xinyuan had equipped internally this year.

X16 is of course powerful, equipped with the X320 series chip that has been slightly improved three times, 14nm silicon carbide, and the overall workmanship is also CNC-processed ultra-light aerospace alloy material, light and portable.

The software installed is still very small, similar to G1X, but the current microelectronics department is working hard on industrial software and is sorting out the rich database accumulated by Xinyuan. The first version of the design and analysis software will be available in another month.

And the successor of Xingchen 1, Xingchen 2 supercomputer, is also under development.

Xingchen 2 is much more powerful. It will use the newly upgraded X32045 chip. Although it is still 14nm, the architecture has been specially optimized. 20,000 CPUs constitute the new supercomputer.

In addition to the exponential increase in computing power, Xingchen-2 will also support quantum computing on a small scale for the first time, with special optimizations for certain design aspects. The computing speed of specific scenarios will be thousands of times that of traditional computers, which is very exaggerated.

Of course, the power consumption has also increased by 10 times, and we have to contact the power supply bureau to add lines.

More than half a month later, Shelev has completed the transformation of the production links of the two bases. Now each workshop is independent and only accepts computer instructions to complete processing within the specified time, and the independence between departments has been strengthened again.

Now, in addition to managing the operation of the entire base, Shelev is also directly involved in several projects.

First, it is the "Xingxiu" deep space exploration plan that Xiao Gangtian is responsible for.

After more than two months of research, Xiao Gangtian has already had a preliminary plan.

"Koro... Chief Engineer Xie, I think for deep space exploration, we first need to pay attention to cost control. Controlling costs can also improve efficiency.

I plan to design a universal satellite platform with an output power of about 15 to 30KW, which can operate for at least 20 years."

Xiao Gangtian turned on his computer and showed the "Xingxiu" universal satellite platform to Shelev.

At a glance, Shelev saw that it was almost a super-large satellite weighing 6 to 10 tons. Because it is mainly used for deep space exploration, the most powerful part is the signal transmitter, and the payload is various detection function components for the target planet.

In addition, it has another highlight that it can be equipped with a nuclear reactor and the 50N-class super-thrust Hall thruster currently owned by Xinyuan, which can maintain maneuverability for many years, which is a function that deep space probes in the past did not have.

Although the weight is similar to the "Gaoshan" series, the "Xingxiu" is more sophisticated and complex, so there is a problem: it is not very suitable for rocket launch.

The maximum acceleration of the rocket can reach about 5G, so it is best to use the H2M series space shuttle.

Compared with rockets, H2M has a large mass. If it is launched by Xinyuan No. 2A, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the rocket is not only small during launch, but also the engine nozzle needs to be deflected to adjust the yaw caused by the center of gravity. The acceleration process is relatively long, so the overload is smaller, only about 3G.

As for the launch of Xinyuan 3, H2 is used as the third stage to hit the moon, which is not normally used.

But the problem is that even if it hits the orbit of other planets, the rocket LEO capacity required is only 20 tons at most, and the cost of one launch is less than 100 million.

And H2 needs to use Xinyuan 2A for one launch, and the launch cost is 500 million, which is too expensive. Seven launches on seven planets will cost nearly 4 billion, far exceeding the budget.

But if the load-bearing capacity of the probe is strengthened, it will bring a lot of dead weight, and some ultra-precision detection instruments may not be installed, so Shelev needs to solve this problem first.

Although he has presided over the launch of landers and flyby probes to Venus and Mars before, the times have changed, and there were no powerful precision instruments like now.

Controlling the budget... has always been the forte of the Alliance.

Shelev carefully looked at the technical data and design manuals compiled by Xiao Gangtian over the past period of time, and nodded in affirmation:

"Okada, your design work is very good. It is really good to have so many functions with a minimum mass of 6 tons. Very good, there is no need to add extra weight.

As for the vehicles, why are they limited to the ones we have now?"

Xiao Gangtian: "You mean..."

Shelev: "Do you know that after the end of the Cold War, many advanced weapons of the Alliance were declassified. This is how the world evaluates us: Alliance scientists can always integrate a pile of garbage into excellent machines.

Now the base has so many technologies, but you have not used them. What I see is that we only need less than 35 million to send a 20-ton space shuttle into orbit. If it is an unmanned space shuttle, then it is possible to squeeze in a 10-ton payload."
