    Of course, civilian standards are not as stringent as military standards, at least in terms of durability and confidentiality. Therefore, a simplified version of the data link communication system is used for network components.

    As for the communication between drone platforms, the ultraviolet communication system with strong anti-interference ability has been replaced by a laser communication system with slightly poor performance.

    Although the overall performance is several grades lower than the military version, Ascendas Group did not reduce the performance of the civilian version. On the contrary, it is more advanced than the military version in some aspects.

    For example, integrated circuits are required for military use to be strong and durable, and can be used in water, sand, plateaus, and mountains. Therefore, the selection of integrated circuits is mainly based on durability, so that some key parts of integrated circuits are still  Using slightly inferior transistors.

    Just because this type of product is strong enough and stable enough.

    But these issues are not involved in civilian applications, because civilian products only pursue the ultimate performance, because when it comes to the selection of large-scale integrated circuits, they naturally focus on the most cutting-edge products.

    This is just like smartphones decades later. The demand for chips for various high-end flagship machines is extremely extreme. Those made with 1 nanometer will never be eliminated by 3 nanometers. What stands out is performance.

    The same goes for Ascendas Group¡¯s civilian swarm drone system.

    Therefore, the integrated circuits of the swarm control system on the five zb-maxpro helicopters sent out by the Xiangzhou Factory this time all use high-end chips made of 248 nanometers produced by Toshiba Corporation of Japan.

    The equipment is produced using Nikon¡¯s latest DUV lithography machine. Thanks to Japan¡¯s dominant position in the semiconductor industry in the 1990s, the civilian version of Ascendas Group¡¯s swarm UAV system has been greatly improved.

    The most significant thing is that the size of the entire control module is 50% smaller than that used by the military. Although it is still difficult to assemble into small and medium-sized UAVs such as "Harpy", it can be used on medium-sized UAV platforms such as TY-2.  is no longer a problem.

    As for quasi-military unmanned aerial vehicles such as Target 5 cruise missile targets, they can naturally be integrated, but the attributes of Target 5 will be difficult to define by then, because Target 5 integrated with the swarm UAV system already has  It not only has all the functions of cruise navigation and strike capabilities, but also has extremely powerful independent judgment and saturation strike capabilities.

    However, it is inferior to pure military cruise missiles in terms of secure communication and network stability, and its adaptability to complex battlefield environments is relatively poor. Therefore, its actual combat effectiveness is not necessarily stronger than traditional cruise missiles. Therefore, Ascendas Group did not  Target 5, which uses the civilian version of the swarm UAV system, is called a cruise missile, but a more appropriate name is called a loitering missile.

    That is, low-cost, flying attack ammunition to be independently and controllably assembled.

    As a result, this improvised cruise missile was favored by the military as soon as it was launched, especially the airborne troops of the Air Force and the Marines of the Navy. They were very interested in this multi-mission cruise missile and purchased one from Ascendas Group.  Batch it back and use it for training and research on new tactics.

    It is precisely with the strong investment and support from the military that Ascendas Group's swarm UAV system will quickly mature. However, there is still a long way to go before it can capture excess profits, make small money, and drive industrial development.  After all, no matter how much the military supports procurement, the quantity will be limited. If you want to have a long-term future, the vast civilian market will be the gold nugget pool.

    Of course, in addition to the temptation of profits that made Zhuang Jianye determined to promote the civilian market, the pull of industry is also another important reason.

    As for what industry, it is of course the semiconductor manufacturing industry, which will be the most critical in the future.

    In this regard, Zhuang Jianye¡¯s idea is very simple. Since future drones, manned aircraft and spacecraft in outer space will need the support of the modern semiconductor industry in order to achieve their greatest potential, of course it is best to have them in their own hands.

    In this way, you don¡¯t have to look at other people¡¯s faces, and you don¡¯t have to bear high prices. If someone gets stuck at a critical moment, you can deal with it calmly.

    Of course, the most important thing is to reduce the cost of your own products.

    You must know that the Target 5 using the swarm drone system is almost 800,000 yuan more expensive than the original ordinary version. The main reason is that the price of Toshiba's 248nm chips is really ridiculously high.

    But there was no other way. At this stage in 1994, the entire world semiconductor industry was still dominated by the Japanese. As for Samsung and TSMC, they were not even younger brothers. Intel and Texas Instruments in the United States were just struggling to support themselves and were working hard to provide support.  The Japanese stabbed.

    Under such circumstances, Ascendas Group really doesn¡¯t have many choices. If it wants to achieve the ultimate performance, it can only purchase from Japan, and the price is high.

    But in this way, Ascendas Group?The road to popularization for civilian use will be blocked. After all, the prices of civilian products can be high, but they cannot be as high as luxury goods. Otherwise, how can we make a lot of small money if they are popularized.

    So on the one hand, Zhuang Jianye decentralizes the source of chips. Except for purchasing the highest-end flagship chips from Japan, other products use Samsung or TSMC products as much as possible, and even partially use Intel's semiconductor integrated circuits.

    This reduces costs to a certain extent, but this is not Zhuang Jianye¡¯s ultimate goal. Only by holding the entire industry chain in his own hands can Zhuang Jianye feel at ease, otherwise he will not feel at ease even when he sleeps.

    Because of this, while purchasing chips from outside, under the leadership of Zhuang Jianye, Chenggong Chenggong Factory, the Second Aerospace Factory, China Merchants Bank, and China Development Bank established a venture capital fund to invest 650 million yuan in the Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd. founded by Luan Heping to support  Its business in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

    Luan Heping started to establish an electronic equipment factory in the late 1980s, and carried out electronic processing trade with three-to-one supplement. As the business grew bigger and bigger, he also invested in low-end semiconductor technology, and was confident about his own position in the entire industry.  The situation is so clear that I understand that relying on low labor, high density, and overloaded hard work will not last long.

    What's more, the profits from this kind of hard-earned money are too thin. If you make the slightest move, you will lose your blood. If you want to make big money in the long term, you have to target the high-tech parts at the top of the industrial chain.

    So Luan Heping has long been aiming towards the mid-to-upstream industrial chain of electronic equipment. The problem is that he wants to do it, but the conditions do not allow it.

    Firstly, he has no technology, and secondly, he has no talent. Of course, the most important thing is that he does not have that much capital to invest. You must know that every item in the midstream and upper reaches of the semiconductor industry is made with real money and silver.  The quota is not the ordinary millions or tens of millions, but hundreds of millions, billions and billions. Only if you persist like this for five to ten years can you see underwriting.

    There is no way Moore's Law for semiconductors is there. Every 18 months, semiconductor technology will double the manufacturing process. In other words, as soon as your factory and equipment are completed, the entire line will be affected by Moore's Law.  It has become a backward product, so we can only continue to spend money until it is consistent with Moore's Law.

    Thinking about this process, what can be done with a small sum of hundreds of thousands?

    As a result, at this stall, Ning Xiaodong, who was a partner with him, suddenly took away the funds to start some kind of air transport company. Now Luan Heping was even less able to upgrade the industry, and could only continue to silently do three things and one supplement.  , earn hard-earned money.

    It wasn't until the 650 million capital invested by Zhuang Jianye came down that Luan Heping regained the confidence to complete industrial upgrading, and his confidence soon brought him rewards. Just when Luan Heping announced that his electronic equipment factory was ready  Not long after entering the upstream semiconductor integrated circuits, the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region of Asmail in the Netherlands came to visit and told Luan Heping very eagerly that as long as he was willing, Asmer would pay RMB 30 million.  Provide it with the latest pas5500 duv lithography machine that can produce 198 nanometers.
