Blooming America

Chapter 395: Opponents and allies

Alexander Patricia, Douglas Hume, Baron Hume of Chassel, British Conservative Party politician, took up the post of British Prime Minister in 1963, and defeated the Labor Party candidate Harold Wilson by a narrow margin. British photos.

In British history, he is the last minister born in the House of Lords, the last minister appointed by the British monarch, born in the century, and the only one who gave up the nobility title to make up for it. Choose a way to enter the House of Commons. He came to serve as a prime minister. He gave up six noble titles including earl titles and became common people, and his name was changed to the current Alec, Douglas Hume.

But it seems that history has destined that his term of office will not be long. After five years in power, the crisis of the British situation has left the Conservative Party in a daze.

The situation in Britain is as dangerous as in France. The students were originally supporting the demonstrations of the French compatriots, but since de Gaulle stepped down, they seemed to have lost their goals.

It happened to be the summer vacation at this time. After the vacation, the students were bored, so they gathered together again and continued the parade.

The British students do this, but there are rumors, the most typical is the commotion of "Nian", according to the official British explanation, the students’ commotion is because of "the summer vacation is too boring"... But now, the students are doing it. The parade, and it seemed to be quite imposing, at least the situation in the UK has now begun to gradually become turbulent, and now the British are also in distress.

For Catherine, even if Britain is six sinks, it has little to do with her. For the situation in Europe, Catherine is most concerned about France for the time being.

Because the situation in France has gradually stabilized, the originally stopped network construction can already begin. Taking advantage of the temporary vacuum of French rights, Catherine and the French mistaken things, and then began to build the network.

"The construction of the submarine optical cable will begin on September 1, and is expected to be completed within three months..." Ralph reported to Catherine.

"Ca..." Looking at the report on the situation in Europe, Catherine was thinking about the feasibility of constructing the Atlantic submarine cable.

"Is it possible to build a submarine cable across the Atlantic Ocean?" Catherine asked.

"This...Although it is technically feasible, it is impossible to achieve it without more than one billion funds. Although the prices of optical cables and optical fibers have fallen a lot now, if submarine optical cables are to be built, The money that needs to be spent is not something that the gangster group can afford. Now, the company has more than 100 million US dollars of funds that have turned into gold, and it is still placed abroad, but even if these funds are cashed into U.S. dollars is also unlikely to support such a project... Although in the future, the construction of a submarine optical cable can be done with only hundreds of millions of dollars, but that is actually in the future, and now, the price is still high.

The most important thing is... there is no profit.

If there is a profit of tens of billions of dollars, even if Catherine is smashing the pot and selling iron, she will collect the billions of funds, but obviously that is an unlikely thing. The supporting industry has not developed, just like the bucket theory. The factor for the barrel capacity is not the longest piece of wood, but the shortest heart... "Is Motorola involved in network-related business?" Catherine suddenly thought of something, so she quickly began to ask.

"This... Motorola has an advantage in digital communication, but the other side is mainly used in the military field. I heard that their technology seems to be applied to the transmission of space signals. They seem to be good to us. The Internet is not interested. But they seem to be very proficient in wireless communication..."

Ralph talked about what he knew.

For Ralph, Catherine didn't know much about it, she just knew that the other party would "in the future" establish a leading Internet company in the world to compete with aTsanmpT. Compared to Sanders, who has always wanted to be a big star, Ralph has done everything in a serious manner.

"Well, that probably doesn't matter..." Catherine was very upset when she heard "Motorola" recently, but she still thought of Motorola all the time. After all, the current Motorola is more than a bit stronger than Si Tam..."Well, according to the established plan...Anyway, Motorola is just a competitor, and it's not that the sky has fallen. It's not that there are no allies.

"Sanders should have been out?" Catherine suddenly asked Elsa.

"Well, I got the plane at 9 o'clock this morning."

Catherine nodded. Sanders has now left for Washington. The Fed needs to be clarified.

Although the budget assigned by the Pentagon to Canada in the new year has reached 200 million, for Catherine who wants to study the future technology of this era, this little amount of funding is obviously not enough.

Fed screen is now the focus of research.

Because there are no carbon nanotubes, coupled with the complexity of the control circuit, it seems a little unrealistic to make such a new era display.

So next, Catherine gave instructions to the following one by one to start research from black and white.

Because the black-and-white screen only needs to manage the light and dark parameters, it is very easy to apply. It removes the management of other colors, so the control circuit can remove most of it.

Not only that, the display function of the Fed's screen has also been "castrated", so the design can be simpler. One by one, optimistically, this kind of screen can be created in only three to five years, although the screen size may be small. , But it can be considered to be able to cope.

After all, with Vigor, the Pentagon may continue to invest. Although the Pentagon is very easy to deceive, the brick family grabs a large amount, but if they have not seen the product for too long, they are likely to lose patience, and that At that time, it's not so good.

What's more, how can you get more money if you don't send someone over to fool around? Catherine has some insights in this regard.

"G is already preparing, do you want to see it?" As Elsa sorted out the files, something very interesting seemed to appear.

g is the Jinmei e-sports competition. This competition will be held in Luo Gongfan. In the future, when their products have enough influence, every city may be rushing to hold such an event, but it is a pity that e-sports wants to be truly recognized, and it seems so unrealistic.

"The venue is already being prepared.

"Be pregnant like this..." Catherine thought for a while, and decided to save this matter until there is time to do it later.

"Now, we still have an important thing to pay"

Jack Kilby is working on a microcontroller produced by InTen.

This kind of magical thing integrates the entire microcomputer into this small flake. I have to say that this is a kind of magical thing. Even Texas Instruments, where Kilby is located, has never produced something like this.

"It's her mouth again..." Catherine Edson, a magical girl, "Magic Girl".

Before Kilby, transistors replaced bulky and unstable vacuum tubes, but with the continuous expansion of the circuit system, the components became larger and larger, but they encountered new bottlenecks. In particular, the cost of producing a transistor is as high as ten dollars. How to reduce the volume of the component and reduce the cost has become a major application problem.

At that time, Kilby, who was focusing on circuit miniaturization research at Texas Instruments, used the two weeks most of his colleagues were on vacation without interruption to think about difficult problems. Just a month after Bell Labs celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Ming Transistor, Kilby's inspiration emerged and wrote five pages of key experiment logs in the office.

Kilby's new concept is to use a single silicon chip to make a complete circuit, so that the circuit can be reduced to a minimum. At that time, the industry doubted whether this idea was feasible, but Texas Instruments always supported Kilby.

However, things are often so dramatic.

Kilby and his friends had to sleep and eat to create a real integrated circuit, but Noyce, who was still working at Fairchild at this time, also announced that he knew the integrated circuit.

The two sides immediately began to argue, and I don't know how many times the verbal battle was carried out.

Immediately afterwards, the fact that shocked everyone surprised them. The patents for integrated circuits existed as early as a year ago. And when they found the creator of the patent, they found that the applicant for this patent was just a child... But the ordinary circuit designers at the time generally held the "Ludd" view (opposing the view of technological or process changes). They wanted to protect their vested interests and opposed the new technology, so the debate on this matter stopped like this. The integrated circuits were of no practical value because of the designers' opinions.

Although Kilby has been insisting, but in the next two years, things haven't made much progress.

And after that... it was this girl again, who actually began to put integrated circuits into practical use. Transistors began to become cheaper on integrated circuits. Game-TV explained to everyone what kind of integrated circuits are ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then, the InTen company appeared. With the development of integrated circuits In the exhibition, C has just started to be created with personal computers. Up to now, the other party has begun to use the new 6-micron process, and new products seem to be about to appear.

But Kilby knew that, compared to that kind of large machine, the value of this small single-chip microcomputer was higher.

"Mr. Kilby!" The subordinate suddenly found himself.

"What's wrong?" Kilby put the microcontroller down.

"InTen company is preparing us to talk about cooperation. The old man will let you talk about it in the past."

"InTen?" Kilby is a little strange-he has been in the laboratory these past few days and knows nothing about Motorola.

"Well, I'll check it out... After the beer knocked the opponent away, Kilby started to feel a little dumbfounded.

"Cooperation" Zhou Gang hurried back from school by bike and...for the time being, that's all.
