Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2298 Challenging Core Technology
After entering the base, Ji Donglai slowly got out of the car. All defense systems were activated, especially the four slowly rising steel towers. The dark towers emitted a terrifying light.

Each tower is connected to a high voltage of 10,000 volts. Any weapon within three kilometers can be destroyed instantly. This is the latest weapon developed by the Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing R&D Center in recent years.

After entering the office, Hu Xinyu drank a lot of warm water to calm her panic. Even now, the other person's heart was still beating.

The entire base is still under construction. Mining trucks and huge engineering machinery are constantly moving out of the mountains, filling up the surrounding irregular valleys, and forming a huge lake three kilometers long and two kilometers wide around the base. Many water birds have already come here.

Various plants are planted on the shore with very beautiful colors. The lake is divided into countless areas by transparent glass, and guards patrol 24 hours a day.

The lake water is pumped into a perfect cycle with the cooling water in the base. Now the entire base has become an attractive ecosystem.

"Boss Ji, you have a special liking for this place!"

Watching Ji Donglai leisurely start to make tea, Hu Xinyu felt a little strange. When Ji Donglai arrived here, he acted like he was at home. Ji Donglai just smiled and tapped the table lightly.

"Ah, this is..."

What shocked Hu Xinyu was that the wall of the office rose slowly, and it was surrounded by a huge single glass space that was twenty meters high. There were also glass windows above her head, and everything around was transparent.

Hu Xinyu tilted her head back, her braid almost at a 90-degree angle to her face. Everywhere the other person's eyes could see were computers flashing red and green lights, unmanned robots shuttling back and forth in the air, and occasionally, tightly wrapped staff members in jumpsuits walked by in some corridors.

I slowly lowered my head and saw this kind of setup as far as the eye could see. I wonder how many servers were running.

"This is the real computing power core of the Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing R&D Center. From top to bottom, the 17 floors are all computers, which are more advanced than mining machines. All the core projects of the Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing R&D Center are calculated here, and the intelligent cloud AI system has been running for half a year."

"That's the area we are still building. It's even bigger than this space! Low humidity, constant temperature, and no excessive electromagnetic pollution. This is the most ideal location for our core computing power base. In three days, our core AI model will be able to evolve to the next generation. With the support of these core equipment, I dare to challenge those people. This is courage!"

The remote control in his hand moved, and the office slowly rose and finally stopped at a corridor. Ji Donglai walked towards a door and Hu Xinyu hurriedly followed.

The passage was lined with transparent glass on both sides, and there were offices one after another. The staff inside were busy working, and no one cared whether Ji Donglai showed up or not.

At the end of the corridor is a huge construction site. Underground, several huge loaders are working. There is no roar, all of them are electric machinery. The only sound is the squeaking sound of the slings transporting soil from underground to the air.

The transport silo stands at a fixed position and is transported horizontally to the side. When the silo is opened, there is a high material yard on the ground. Several forklifts are loading the mine cars. The whole process is very smooth.

Hu Xinyu turned around and saw that with Ji Donglai as the center, there were five passages around. It could be seen that Ji Donglai still had five such spaces under construction.

"How much will this cost?"

For the first time, Hu Xinyu felt that her brain was not enough. Even though the other party had unparalleled financial knowledge, she began to sweat.

It was the first time for the other party to see what the project of the century was.

"I didn't dare to do that before, but now I do! We get electricity from the sky and solar energy continuously, at almost zero cost! In addition, Afghanistan is now using my electricity, and transmission networks are also being built in neighboring countries. This little money can support us for a while."

"Haokun has now issued our directional bonds, which are backed by Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, with an annualized return of 8%. A lot of investors are bringing in money. Our industrial software has been released and has been used in my alma mater, Capital University of Technology, for almost a year. This year, it will be fully rolled out in the seven national defense schools."

"A set of design software, calculation software, simulation software, and simulation dynamic analysis software worth one million RMB has already begun to be sold to the entire market. This is all thanks to the computing power here, so everyone will share the benefits!"

When talking about these industrial software, Ji Donglai's face showed pride.

Starting from 2020, when Europe and the United States banned China from using each other's industrial software, Ji Donglai's Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing had already made the prototype of these industrial software, but it was not stable.

After a long year of testing and use, and constant modification and updating, it is now finally completed. Only companies with large manufacturing complexes like Jidonglai Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing in the world have the ability to design and manufacture industrial software. It is almost a pipe dream for any pure software company to do it.

UG was designed and manufactured by Siemens. What is Siemens? At its peak, its scale was three times larger than Ji Donglai's Yiyuan Zhizao, a true giant.

In order to develop and adapt to the efficiency needs of their own company, they designed a series of industrial software such as UG, but those pure industrial software companies do not have such capabilities.

Companies like CATIA and AutoCAD are all products of large-scale industrial complexes. In the past, many domestic companies have challenged industrial software manufacturing, but without exception, they have all started well but ended badly. Without the support of the manufacturing complex, you don’t even know what the customers need. What can you manufacture? What use can you make?

Now, Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing's industrial software and computing software have been fully rolled out within the Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing ecosystem. Not to mention anything else, with the mobile platform Yiyuan mobile phone and the machining CNC platform Xinyu Machine Tool, Ji Donglai controls both ends.

Compatible Xinyu machine tools can input the program of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Software, which can almost automatically calculate and generate the simplest processing route. Other software requires a lot of programming and calculation by technicians. Even foreign industrial software needs to go through several conversions.

This practice of end customers forcing users to change allowed all Xinyu Machine Tool users to complete software updates within almost a month. Of course, users who purchased Xinyu Machine Tools can use the industrial software for free for one year, and the policy of a 50% discount on first purchases in the second year is also the key to these people actively helping Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing to promote intelligent manufacturing.

The machine can be seamlessly controlled and even simulated images can be viewed on the mobile phone, which greatly liberates the machine operator's body and mind.

In recent years, Xinyu Machine Tools has exported a large number of overseas processing and manufacturing equipment, starting from the Czech Republic to Russia. Every time the equipment is upgraded, Xinyu Machine Tools' technicians will go to the site to teach the other party how to use it.

The user group has been greatly expanded. Now Xinyu Machine Tool exports 20,000 high-end CNC machine tools each year, along with these intelligent manufacturing industrial software.

Many old European machine tools are being flashed with Xinyu Machine Tool's operating system, followed by Shangyiyuan Zhizao's intelligent manufacturing industrial software, which almost coexist with each other.

Various inverters and core machine tool controls that are exclusive to Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing have also emerged.

In the past few years, the spare parts alone have generated 100 million yuan in patent income for Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing every year. Huayan Baoliang Equipment Manufacturing Factory has even greater shipments, and now the other party can sleep with a smile every day.

What is powerful? This is powerful! Only when you become big can you become strong! The so-called small and specialized is just the result you see, never the process!

"Can we apply for some government subsidies? It's hard to support ourselves like this..."

This was the first time Hu Xinyu knew that Ji Donglai was so ambitious. In recent years, it seemed to the outside world that Ji Donglai was constantly making money and his tentacles were everywhere. Every year, there were countless posts saying that Ji Donglai was monopolizing the business. But what was the reality?

Without the attention to these details, it would be impossible to achieve such brilliant achievements today.

"We will do it with their support. Even without their support, I will do it! Don't worry about the outside world. We will have many difficult times in the future. Sister Hu, you are under the greatest pressure. I brought you here this time to let you know what we are doing."

"If it was just for making money, we could have traveled around the world long ago. In that case, the Chinese would still be servants of Western industry for a thousand or ten thousand years. I don't want to live like that. You know where I started. It was so difficult back then, but I still had to spend hundreds of thousands to buy foreign industrial software!"

"Otherwise, Swell would not allow me to supply the products. It was rare! Our profits were so thin at that time. We had to pay back the money we earned from the foreigners. Some products involved patents, and the foreigners had to deduct the money from us and give it directly to the designers."

"We have to be so careful in order to make money. Now we have finally made it! Some people are going to do something new, but don't be afraid. At least we are on an equal footing now. For the next generation, we will carry out comprehensive intelligent manufacturing. The so-called Industry 4.0 is not actually our goal. We will just be ourselves!"

Thinking of his company's past, Ji Donglai's eyes were filled with memories.

The successful test of the hypersonic aircraft and rocket engine was all thanks to the powerful self-industrial software of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing. Ji Donglai manufactured equipment and updated the industrial software at the same time. This path is the same as that taken by all advanced industrial complexes.

The engine was designed, and the calibration of the software was also completed. The birth of a super project has countless achievements. From smart terminals, sky integration, free fluid shape equation unlocking, industrial software culmination, Ji Dong has completed a real life upgrade.
