Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 125

After briefly looking around the equipment and getting the encrypted hard drive that stored the drawings, Kang Chi returned to Changchun Airport without even having lunch.

The main reason is that it’s still early, and it’s not even lunch yet…

Watching Kang Chi's back disappear at the security checkpoint, He Yong always felt a sense of unreality.

Is this guy really going to leave like this?
  This is a multi-billion dollar bet!
  So to Chang Chunguang's office, apart from Kang Chi copying a copy of the drawings, everything was as if nothing happened and everyone just did whatever they were supposed to do.

At least temporarily.

If Kang Chi hadn't brought someone from the Hua Security Bureau with him and a document stamped by the Ministry of Science and Technology, He Yong would have suspected that he had defrauded him of the [-] yuan for the blueprint...

For Kang Chi, if he had to draw a design drawing worth tens of gigabytes by himself, it would take at least a month or two.

But now, he only needs to pour these drawings into the learning machine, learn them quickly and then make improvements, which can save him an unknown amount of effort.

More importantly, if you build your own lithography machine in the future, you can purchase this light source system at the cost price.
  And it is estimated that when Kangchi builds the EUV lithography machine, other companies that manufacture lithography machines have not yet started to establish projects. How can they play with the EUV lithography machine with him?
  Therefore, the biggest customer of Chang Chung Lighting Institute’s EUV light source is probably Kangchi.

Kang Chi smiled from ear to ear when he thought that he could use the productivity of Changchun Institute of Optics and Mechanics for free for a long time in the future.

This wave is simply a win!

I feel a little embarrassed to win him...

The only regret is that the Dual-Working Taiwan Hafnium Institute of Technology has only conducted preliminary principle verification, and there is still a long way to go before it can be converted into physical results, let alone mass production.

In other words, although they have mastered the technology, they have not yet built it. The situation is no different from Kangchi.

In this case, it might be faster for Kang Chi to do it on his own, and there is no need to cooperate at all.

After leaving Changchun, Kang Chi returned directly to Dongyang and came to Daqin Optics to see the grouping of the R&D department on Fang Qiming's side.

Back in his office, before Kang Chi could sit down, Fang Qiming came over after hearing the news. After greeting Kang Chi, he said with some melancholy: "Soni and the others have already started to move."

"Oh? How did they cope?"

"On the day you went to Yanjing, Dongdu Tuli Optical held a grand press conference in Lin'an, releasing a series of new lenses at very affordable prices."

"Dongdu Tuli?"

Kang Chi recalled this lens factory.

Among the Chinese lens sub-factories in the island country, Tokina should be considered relatively inconspicuous. They mainly produce mid-to-low-end camera lenses. One-third of the lenses of Huaguo TV are Tokina.

In the consumer-level SLR and mirrorless lens markets, Tokina has never paid much attention to it. It just seems to be doing it for fun and has not updated its products for a year and a half.
  If their wide-angle lenses weren't well made and not expensive, even photography professionals would probably not know that there is such a sub-factory lens brand.

In addition, Tokina's consumer-grade lenses also have a characteristic, that is, the electronic technology is very weak, and the anti-shake and autofocus are very awkward.

Sending it out to compete with Daqin Optics, which does not have autofocus, feels a bit like meeting the opponent...

"I asked someone to check and found no changes in their equity for the time being." Fang Qiming continued, "But we bought a few of their lenses, took them apart and studied them, and found that they are actually lenses from the Big Three... I doubt it. Capital has been exchanged behind Tuli.”

Kang Chi nodded: "Are there any more? Suoni and the others haven't done anything?"

"Yes, they have also lowered the price of lenses. Although the decrease is very small, now that they have relaxed this policy, it is expected that the price will continue to decrease."

Kang Chi nodded: "This is actually quite good. Do you remember the purpose of making lenses in the first place? Isn't it just to bring down the price of their sky-high-priced products? Now we have initially achieved our goal."

Fang Qiming was stunned and asked with some confusion: "Aren't you worried that this will affect our own sales?"

Kang Chi shook his head: "You have to take a long-term view. Don't always focus on the gains and losses in front of you. Think about the current situation, who is the best? Although it is not us, it is definitely not them, Suoni and Tuli. It’s our Chinese consumers.” ˆ ˆ ˆ “This result is completely acceptable to me. As for the money... I just make less money, not a loss. Take your time, and you can get it back if you want one bite. The entire market is unrealistic, and we don’t have the strength for the time being, right?”

Fang Qiming: "..."

As Daqin Optics develops and grows, Fang Qiming will inevitably be blinded by the grand occasion in front of him, which breeds the greed of capitalists and has the mentality of "less profit means loss, and losing money is as uncomfortable as killing him".

Every loss of market share of Daqin Optics will make Fang Qiming have trouble sleeping and eating.

But Kang Chi's words suddenly awakened Fang Qiming.

He couldn't help but think of the loss and despair he felt in his heart that day when he walked out of Kangchi's repair shop holding that Angenieux lens.

At that time, his identity was just a consumer.

There are thousands of ordinary people who have capital grabbing their throats and trying to empty every penny out of their pockets.

"By the way, I didn't give you a performance commission?" Kang Chi suddenly asked Fang Qiming with a smile, "Why do you value Daqin Optics' profits so much?"

Fang Qiming was stunned for a moment, and then said shyly: "Maybe because I watched it grow up, I already regard it as my own child..."
-
  After checking the list of people who went to Pingjiang to participate in the research and development of photolithography machines with Fang Qiming, Kang Chi returned home and prepared to use his general experience to analyze the 'lens cutting, grinding and polishing all-in-one machine' and 'lens coating equipment' of the third-generation lens production line. 'Upgrade again.

[Insufficient upgrade space, please clean up surrounding items]

When Kang Chi saw this system prompt, he couldn't help but be confused.

But this also eliminated his long-standing worry, that is, if there is insufficient upgrade space, or if he is too close, the system will be stuck with a bug...

Ok,
  It seems that although this system is stupid, it still pays attention to safety in use.

Kang Chi tried to clean up the laboratory, making more space around the equipment, and continued to upgrade.

After a flash of light, the open space in the middle of the laboratory was immediately filled by a rectangular parallelepiped device.

[Item: Lens cutting, grinding and polishing all-in-one machine]

[Manufacturer: Kangchi]

[Item level: 3]

【Experience: 0/15000】

[Item status: intact]

[Analysis items: no analysis items]

[General experience: 55314]

[Mastery Points: 9.7]

Sure enough, as Kang Chi expected, there is no analytic term.

However, isn’t this too big?
  Looking at the size of this equipment, which is about 20x8x5m, more than three times larger than before, Kangchi couldn't help but have a headache.

With this size, unless the wall of the house is demolished, it is impossible to pull it away...

However, Kangchi originally planned to dismantle it into individual components and transport them to Pingjiang for reassembly.

Even though it's so big, it's a bit beyond Kang Chi's expectations, and it's difficult to dismantle...

This gave Kang Chi a bold idea, which was to expand an underground laboratory with a larger space under the house, and then find a way to build several intelligent industrial robots to help in the future!
