The technological flood of rebirth

Chapter 704: A screen shows the country’s scientific and technological strength

Views:

It is not easy for hundreds of thousands of people at the scene to clearly see the Navy's equipment display. Traditional screens cannot be that big.

And it is a hot day now. Even if it is so large, it is very difficult to display it clearly. After all, the light is too strong and the color contrast is very poor.

Therefore, the screen technology used on site is not a traditional LCD screen, nor the flexible LCD screen they developed, but a laser screen, and only laser screens can circumvent these two problems.

Polaris now has two laser TV technologies. One is the laser TV technology seen in the previous life, which is similar to a projector and is also a relatively low-cost laser TV technology.

This laser technology is mainly to meet the needs of families for larger-size TV viewing. After all, TVs above 100 inches will be more expensive with LCD screens.

Of course, this is also related to Polaris not selling LCD screens at cabbage prices. In order to maintain its own certain profits, the selling price is still relatively high, leaving a relatively high profit margin for the company.

In fact, with their current technology, there is actually no big problem in making large-size TVs above 80 inches. However, based on the current overall price of LCD screens, they are very expensive and do not have a high penetration rate.

Therefore, in order to satisfy the majority of consumers to spend less money to enjoy the enjoyment brought by large-size TVs, laser TVs have made their debut. Compared with large-size LCD TVs, the price is relatively close to the people.

However, laser TVs using this technology still have many shortcomings compared to large-size LCD TVs. This depends on the considerations of consumers.

The color saturation of laser TVs is not as good as that of LCD TVs, and it is more troublesome to install and use. It also has higher requirements for indoor light, while LCD TVs perform better in this regard.

It can be said that this solution is an alternative solution launched by Polaris, which does not want to quickly reduce the price of LCD screens, but also wants to meet consumers' demand for large-size TVs.

Of course, because the laser transmitter technology of Tiangong Precision Instrument Company is very powerful, the viewing effect of high-end laser TV is no worse than that of LCD TV, or even better.

But the price is higher than that of LCD TVs, because Tiangong Precision Instrument Company's high-end laser transmitters do not want to be sold at cabbage prices, but they can make Polaris Company's laser TVs form a high-low match.

The screen used at the military parade was very huge, with a length of 100 meters and a height of 40 meters. It was not something that ordinary screen technology could achieve.

There is usually little market demand for such giant screens, so these screens are specially made and are the most advanced screen technology currently available.

This talks about another laser TV technology of Polaris Company, which was originally designed to solve the problem of difficult installation and debugging caused by laser TV in projector mode.

So they built the laser transmitter of the laser TV into a special screen material with built-in laser patterns and light emission points to achieve an effect similar to an LCD screen.

The light emitting of the LCD screen is an electronic component, while the light emitting of the laser TV is a laser transmitter. The laser emitters set at the four corners of the laser TV screen send laser light to complete the display of the image.

Theoretically speaking, how big the screen can be depends entirely on how much laser the laser emitter can emit. As for the screen performance, there will not be too big anomalies.

Because the speed of light propagation is much higher than the speed of electron propagation, and the energy loss during laser transmission is much lower than that of electronic components, the power consumption and heat generation are lower.

However, this kind of laser TV technology is naturally the most expensive, because it not only requires the use of high-end laser transmitters from Tiangong Precision Instrument Company, but also requires very high production technology.

In order for the laser to reach a specific point on the screen from the emitter, a transmission channel is required. We know that optical fiber is thinner than a hair, and this is especially true for the optical fiber channel of this laser screen.

Moreover, in order to achieve laser propagation in the lowest path, it is not just a simple laser path, but a network of cross paths, which makes the difficulty even higher.

In addition to the difficulty of production, the laser channel intersection also requires the use of special optical components to change and control the optical fiber route. Only Tiangong Precision Instrument Company in the world can produce this alone.

This technology was handed over to Tiangong Precision Instrument Company by Zhao Yi when he was developing photonic chips. With their own R&D capabilities, they would not be able to develop and produce it, at least not in the short term.

Of course, the light path control device used on this kind of laser TV does not need to be as high-end as a photonic chip, but to the outside world, it is indeed a top-notch technology.

In addition to this kind of hardware technology, a very sophisticated control system is also needed to synchronize each frame of the picture to such a large screen without causing picture confusion.

This system was developed by Polaris Company itself. Otherwise, almost all the key technologies belong to Tiangong Precision Instrument Company, but it also uses the laser excitation control system of Tiangong Precision Instrument Company.

The control system of Polaris Company was developed based on these hardware firmwares. Even brother companies would not tell them about this key hardware core control system.

Such a laser TV can not only be made very large in size, but also very simple to use, and can be rolled up at will without affecting the viewing experience.

It can even automatically control the size of the video screen playback according to the screen occlusion and display conditions to match the expanded screen size.

The price of such a product that is the collective crystallization of high-end technology is naturally very impressive. For a 100-inch screen size, the price is as high as 10,000 yuan, and then the price will rise rapidly as the size increases.

The price of a giant screen like this, which is 100 meters long and 40 meters high, is as high as 30 million yuan. This is a friendly price provided by Polaris Company. It makes almost no money. After all, the National Day event is a national event, and there is no need to make too much money.

With such a huge screen hung on both sides of the People's Square, almost everyone in the square can clearly see the maritime military parade held thousands of miles away on the sea.

Not to mention the military equipment display just now, the technical content displayed by these two giant screens is enough to shock quite a few countries. This is the naked manifestation of our country's technological level.

In fact, Zhao Yiyi didn't know about these arrangements. If he had known about it, it would be better to launch a large-scale holographic projection directly. The price is about the same, the coverage area is larger than this, and the scene can be more immersive.

Because the main cost of holographic projection equipment is the laser, and the production process is much simpler than such a screen, so the cost will naturally not be so high.

Of course, the technical content of holographic projection equipment is reflected in the control system, which is much more complicated than such a screen control system, but for Zhao Yi, this cost is almost no cost.

But this is also a good result. Polaris itself basically has a monopoly in the field of screen display, involving almost all mid-to-high-end screen markets.

They are not involved in the old-fashioned screen market, but there is no shortage of relevant technology. Even if they don't produce it themselves, they can still make a fortune by licensing it.

These screen technologies are very low-end and very cheap, but they are still widely used in the fields of industrial production and instrument panels.

Our country was actually lagging behind in this aspect before. Faced with this situation, Polaris Company certainly cannot sit idly by and ignore it. It is definitely unwilling to produce its own products because the profit margin is too low.

However, licensing production to other domestic companies is a very good method. It can also reduce our country's dependence on foreign countries and reduce the import of similar products.

Although other countries are unlikely to use such low-level products to contain our country, in order to prevent problems before they occur, we still need to have the technology, and we also need to have a certain domestic production capacity.

According to Zhao Yi's way of thinking, there is no need to dominate all domestic products, but the technology must be available and the production capacity must reach a certain scale.

In this way, even if related products still need to be imported, once problems arise, domestic production capacity can be expanded to meet all domestic needs in a short period of time.

This was based on industrial safety considerations, and he made such an arrangement after seeing many cases of similar product sanctions in his previous life, so that he would not be controlled by others.

Although the profit margin of this low-end product is low, since there are only one or two companies producing it, the total market volume is still large, and the companies still make considerable profits.

I'm afraid that like in the previous life, low-tech products will flood in due to low barriers to entry. As a result, products with low profit margins will be made even cheaper.

The final result is that employees' salaries never rise, and involution is quite serious, making it increasingly difficult for well-established industries to operate. In order to gain competitive advantages, business operators adopt various non-compliant methods to reduce costs.

In fact, this situation also exists in China. After all, there are only a few companies that can afford high-tech. Most people basically have no technology and no strong funds, so they can only focus on such low-tech products.

Although this is very beneficial to reducing product prices and costs, Zhao Yi does not appreciate this benefit, because doing so will inevitably reduce the operating profits of all enterprises.

As a result, employees' salaries cannot be increased. In order to reduce costs, employees' labor is squeezed desperately, and the working environment is also quite bad. In his opinion, there is actually no need for such an enterprise to exist.

Now it is not like before, we need to rely on this method to increase labor positions. Now the domestic labor employment rate is very high, and such demand is not very necessary.

So in order to avoid this situation, he set a rule that for the procurement of his companies, he would choose at most two companies to purchase. No matter how low the price of other companies was, he would not purchase.

Of course, the selected companies' product profit margins are strictly calculated, leaving a certain profit margin for the company to improve the company's employee treatment and working environment. If there is any leftover, it will be used for R&D investment.

For such a business leader, his company needs to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the business owner. If the character is not up to standard, he will give up.

To be honest, the existence of such enterprises is not to bring much wealth to the business owners, but to ensure domestic industrial security and the maintenance of workers in related industries.

If workers are treated very poorly and the business owner makes a lot of money, he will not be able to meet his expectations. It will be very difficult to maintain the scale of industrial workers. In this case, there is no need for the enterprise to exist.

It is better to establish such a company by oneself. The high-efficiency machines of his companies can not only reduce the labor intensity of workers, but also allow the industry to survive well.

The only shortcoming is that the profit rate cannot reach the overall profit rate of the company, but I really can't find a satisfactory and responsible person to do this, so I can only do it myself.

In fact, there are many such companies under his subsidiaries. They don't make a lot of money, but they are indeed a very necessary part of the industrial chain.

They don't expect these companies to make big money, so the employees of these companies are still very well treated. As long as the company doesn't lose money, it will make a profit. Anyway, they don't expect these industries to make big money.

However, as labor costs increase, without changing or improving employee benefits, production efficiency can only be improved to make the price of local production similar to international levels.

Fortunately, his company has done a lot of research on improving production efficiency, and the technologies in various industries are very complete. As long as it can be designed, there is nothing that cannot be manufactured.

Of course, if labor costs are so high that they cannot be eliminated no matter how much efficiency is improved, the only option is to use fully automated production lines, because at this level, it means that the industry is no longer able to adapt to the domestic environment.

However, it is essential to maintain the integrity of the industrial chain. This can only be achieved by using fully automated equipment for production, and it can even create higher profits for the company.

He does not want to be like Yingjiang in his previous life, who moved all industrial production to other countries with lower labor costs in order to reduce corporate costs, but left a bunch of hollowed-out industries in the country.

In fact, the capital flowing out cannot benefit the domestic people. In other words, although these enterprises are nominally domestic, in fact they have little to do with the country, and the people cannot enjoy the dividends brought by the development of the enterprises.

In this case, over time, serious problems will arise, the gap between rich and poor will become more and more serious, domestic conflicts will become more intensified, the political situation will not be stable, and there will be a basis for turmoil.

However, it is inevitable that labor costs will continue to increase in the future, and the income of domestic people cannot always be suppressed. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, he placed his hope on fully automated equipment and industrial production robots.

At that time, he would rather launch this production model on a large scale in the country, and then let the government collect high taxes, and then let the government use the tax revenue to subsidize the unemployed people in the country.

But this is the final plan. According to his own wishes, he naturally hopes to complete the process of wealth redistribution by himself, rather than relying on others, because he does not have high trust in other people.

No organization can be absolutely impartial and selfless, especially institutional organizations. Since there are too many people, there will naturally be more desires and the internal situation will be more complicated.

When the time comes, if others redistribute wealth, it is likely that a considerable part of the losses in the distribution process will be consumed internally by the organization, but not much will fall into the hands of the people.

In this case, it is actually a disguised evolution process of the gap between rich and poor. Over time, expected problems will also appear, so he will be more willing to carry out this wealth distribution himself.

Although the companies under his ownership are also organizations and have their own desires and demands, the residual value is in his hands, and the amount of desire depends entirely on him.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't be reassured, because individuals are more fickle than organizations, which means they are more unpredictable and have no benefit to social stability.

But when it comes to himself specifically, he can definitely guarantee that he will never be like this. If he didn't have confidence in himself, he wouldn't make such a choice.

The navy participated in the parade with two aircraft carrier formations. The two aircraft carrier formations conducted a joint cruise, and were surrounded by many large and small ships. It looked very spectacular.

This kind of pictures are mainly long-range pictures, but there are relatively few close-up pictures. They are lining up on the deck of the aircraft carrier and shouting slogans, but there are no internal pictures.

The interior of our country's ships is still classified. Except for ship operators, it is difficult for outsiders to enter and watch inside. What's more, it is impossible to expose the internal footage for this kind of live broadcast to the world.

But even so, looking down at the picture from a high altitude, the picture conveyed still makes people excited. These aircraft carrier formations currently represent the world's most powerful maritime force.

Although in terms of quantity, our country is still not on par with Yingjiang, but in terms of advanced level, we are far ahead. If we really fight with real swords and guns, we will definitely be the best.

This is why we dare to challenge all the military power of Eagle Sauce in the Asia-Pacific region with our two aircraft carrier formations. This is the confidence we have. And the other party also knows through some information that it may not be an opponent, so it does not dare to take risks.

Military adventure is a very dangerous move. If you are not sure, it is best not to do it, because most countries cannot bear the consequences of military failure.

If Yingjiang really launches an attack, even if it fails, although it will not affect the mainland, the loss of the Asia-Pacific forces is absolutely certain, which is a burden they cannot bear at present.

With the rise of our country, the importance of the Asia-Pacific region is increasing day by day. This is particularly important for maintaining a military presence in the region and will be an important area for the deployment of military forces in the future.

However, it is not so easy to maintain the advantage of military power in the Asia-Pacific. With the improvement of our country's economic and technological strength, the improvement of military strength is natural.

At that time, relying on the economic size of Eagle Sauce and wanting to maintain a global military presence, it will become increasingly difficult to do so. If we insist on holding on, the final result will not be much better than that of the polar bear, and it will even become worse.

This is also the main reason why we are not in a hurry to expel their power in the Asia-Pacific. Instead, we hope that they can invest more defense budgets to maintain their military hegemony.

Because if you want to maintain military hegemony, you must have a strong economy as support. If the economy is not good, strong support will only make the country die faster.

Our country has advantages in all aspects, including military strength, which will be fully surpassed in the next three to five years. This is while our country's defense budget remains at a low level.

At present, our country's economic size is more than twice that of Eagle Sauce. We only need to spend half of their GDP as defense expenditure to exceed their defense budget.

When our economic size reaches four times theirs, they will not be able to compete with us in terms of military power at that time, unless they plan to go militarily.

Obviously in this era, even if their senior leaders want to do this, the people at the bottom will not agree, because this means that people across the country have to tighten their belts to live a better life.

Therefore, we are quite calm about Yingjiang's military hegemony. As long as our military strength does not fall behind, we can basically drag the opponent to death slowly. It is much easier and more peaceful than facing a direct war.

Of course, in addition to military hegemony, Yingjiang also has monetary hegemony. The two are actually interdependent. If one goes wrong, the other will not be well off.

If and when their military hegemony declines, their monetary hegemony will also gradually decline. This is inevitable. No country wants to be cut off by others unless it has to.

Of course, it is actually not that difficult to quickly dismantle their currency hegemony, especially when my country's economy has reached the largest size in the world and surpasses the other party in all aspects, it is much easier.

It’s just that our country is not that necessary yet. Maintaining the stability of the world situation is currently very beneficial to our country. Unless it is forced to counterattack, it only needs to develop with peace of mind.

Of course, if it really wants to be dismantled, there are two main methods. One is the internationalization of the RMB. With my country’s economic size and industrial technology level, it has a high success rate.

The second is to develop a trade currency specifically for global trade, using the gold standard. You must know that he has a lot of gold in his hands, and it is very easy to issue a convertible gold standard trade settlement currency.

In this case, he can collect trade settlement interest spreads for a long time, but the actual payment is not particularly large, because global trade is generally balanced, and there is basically no loss to the party that provides the settlement currency.

The reason why the gold standard is convertible is mainly to improve the credibility of the trade settlement currency. In fact, as the settlement party, it can balance everything out based on the actual trade situation of each country.

And if it is just to maintain the demand for trade settlement, the scale of issuing such currency will not be very large. It seems that the scale of international trade transactions is in the trillions or tens of trillions. In fact, the scale of the base currency is not high.

As for the exchange of gold standard currency, as long as the base currency can be redeemed, there will be no risk, because the other value-added currencies can be offset through the book.

However, this method can effectively prevent the sovereign currency from performing financial operations to cut the world's wool, which is of great benefit to world financial stability. The only injury is the sovereign currency with international reserve currency status.

However, doing so will definitely offend many countries. Although eagle sauce is the main international trade settlement currency, there are many countries whose currencies do not account for a high proportion, but they still have some.

If this kind of currency is used specifically for international trade settlement, it will naturally cut off the financial resources of all countries with a share of international trade settlement, and the impact will be very large.

If there is still a company or individual to issue this, then it will need to withstand pressure from many countries, and most people really cannot afford it.

Even with his current status and strength, he tries to avoid this situation. This is why he is not in a hurry to do so, and he feels that there will be better opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush.

Because of the decline of economic hegemony and the decline of military hegemony, their currency hegemony will gradually decline. At that time, the world will need a new currency to replace the US dollar. If it is introduced at that time, it will be twice the result with half the effort. (End of chapter)
