Chapter 175 The First Switch Chapter 76 Collective Circuits

"Just such a little thing?"

In the manor, Mr. Chris played with the electronic cigarette in his hand.

This is a high-end product designed by the laboratory according to Payton's instructions, using gold as the main material, full of luster and texture.

Playing in the hands, quite a feeling.

"Are you sure he can replace traditional tobacco?"

Peyton smiled and raised a hand: "You will know after you try it."

Mr. Chris nodded and took a light breath.

"Well, a camel?"

"But the taste is a bit weak."

But Peyton was a little surprised: "You can smoke all this? I remember you don't smoke often?"

Mr. Chris was a little proud: "When I was in the army, camels were used by the entire army to supply cigarettes. Which model have I never smoked?"

"Then now?"

Mr. Chris gave him a blank look: "Since I met your mother and had a child, she doesn't like the smell of cigarettes..."

Peyton quickly stopped his father's marital history.

He understood.

My father used to be a smoker, but now he doesn't smoke often because of his mother.

Of course, it also has something to do with his amazing willpower.

Most people can't quit smoking.

"Our e-cigarettes can provide a variety of flavors, including most of the tobacco you have seen on the market, and even more trendy elements, such as fruit and mint."

"As for the mild taste you said, this can be adjusted. At the same time, I think that the mild taste is also a major label for us. It has a light taste, does not choke people, and does not endanger health."

There is no causal relationship at all in what he said, but Mr. Chris obviously didn't understand, and nodded subconsciously.

People in this era do not have a subtle understanding of tobacco, otherwise there would be no harmless propaganda of filters before and smoke-free and non-cigarettes later.

Mr. Chris nodded, although he still didn't understand the core of it.

But he realized that this is indeed a product that can replace tobacco to a certain extent.

"So, what's your ex-factory price? I'm talking about the lowest price, not such a flashy thing in my hand."

Mr. Chris directly pointed out the key points, low price and wide-scale popularization are the key.

That's what Ford did to GM.

In comparison, the high-end market is not so important.

Peyton smiled: "If it is mass-produced, we will use the latest technological plastic materials to produce, with gauze, atomizers, etc. as the main body, and we are confident that its price will not be much higher than ordinary cigarettes."

"Since I said he might replace tobacco, it costs you nothing to worry about."

"Moreover, the e-cigarette industry will promote other industries in the state, such as chemicals, integrated circuits, and new energy batteries."

Mr. Chris frowned slightly: "Let's not talk about chemical materials and batteries, most of them are taken over by Chris Chemical."

"But what is an integrated circuit?"

"Is it the thing used on missiles?"

Mr. Chris' question touches on Peyton's knowledge blind spot.

Payton asked carefully for a while, and he learned that the original state aviation plan mentioned integrated circuits, and there was also a computer plan based on integrated circuits, that is, molecular computers.

It is expected that this technology will play an important role in the aerospace field.

At the same time, the military also has news that once relevant technologies are adopted, the "Minuteman-I" and "Minuteman-II" missile guidance systems can play a huge role.

"You guys also have integrated circuits?"

Peyton nodded: "Of course, this is a high-tech product that is ahead of the times."

Well, in fact, the experimenters in the studio just adopted the more popular integrated circuit principle in the industry, and used a few messy wires to connect five electronic components together to form an extremely rough integrated circuit.

Historically, it will not be until next year that the Fairchild Group will develop a "semiconductor device and lead structure" model to manufacture a monolithic integrated circuit that can be used in the true sense.

The technological content inside is not comparable to the small laboratory invested by Peyton.

Although Peyton had no idea what he said, Mr. Chris believed it, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"I didn't expect this gadget to have such a high technical content?"

Mr. Chris's eyes lit up, looking at the golden stick in his hand, he suddenly realized the value of it.

During his tenure, what he planned to do was to deepen the scale of the aviation base and the Redstone base.

The technology involved in such a small thing is likely to bring huge help.

Not to mention, the great blue ocean of the epoch-making tobacco market that Payton described.

After a pause, Mr. Chris suggested: "Then I suggest that you apply for various conditions in the state in the name of a high-tech company. I will check on the parliament and give you preferential treatment and support for various policies."

"Implement it as soon as possible!"

"At the same time, if you need it, I will arrange for the Bank of Alabama and the Alabama Chamber of Commerce to provide you with financial and other support."

Peyton smiled brightly.

My father finally realized that he was his own son, and this kind of treatment was only available to his own son.

A few words, when translated, ask for money for money, for people to give, for policies, for policies.

"must!"

Payton quickly promised!

Having said that, Peyton also made up his mind to go to Silicon Valley to make an acquisition as quickly as possible, recruiting troops, and expanding his small laboratory.

Although he doesn't know much about the industry in this era, especially semiconductors and crystals, he doesn't know much about it.

But this is indeed the sunrise industry of the future.

Originally, he wanted to wait until he had developed the industry he knew, and entered the stage he was familiar with in the late 60s and early 70s, before investing in this area.

But what Mr. Chris said made him realize that the current Silicon Valley is not that holy land of technology.

Technological development in this area will be of great help to the future space race.

This is a complementary industry.

Alabama has its own aviation center and its own military base. In this regard, he has a natural advantage.

He still has a chance.

With his help, Alabama may not fail to become a high-tech center for the semiconductor industry.

Be an alternative Silicon Valley!

Although there is no natural geographical advantage of Silicon Valley.

But in Alabama, he has people above him, has funds and policies, and understands the general trend of the future, so he may not be unable to make a difference.

"It never occurred to me that I would be involved in this industry because of e-cigarettes?"

Peyton thought in his heart, firming his mind.

He doesn't have to wait until the market is familiar before gradually entering the market.

He can completely change the layout of the industry in the early stage of market development!

Now no one can predict the vast world of this market, only he has a pair of eyes that can see through the future.

"Charles, give me a ticket to the San Francisco Bay Area, a metropolitan area in Northern California!"

"There is also information on the electronics and computer semiconductor-related industries in Silicon Valley, please collect it for me as soon as possible."
