Chapter 11 The signal amplifier is ready
Hu Jiangshan was a little surprised. This seawater desalination facility was quite expensive, 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, even more expensive than a tidal power station.
And the construction period is relatively long, taking ten days.
Judging by the standards of a tidal power station, this desalination facility project seems to be quite large.
Hu Jiangshan started the construction process without saying a word.
A progress bar appears on the interface and the program has started running.
Everything is ready. In ten days, a seawater desalination facility will be built on General Island.
In this way, the water problem can be solved.
There is electricity and water, which is great.
If Hu Jiangshan wants, he can even live on General Island.
Building a house on General Island can make it a perfect holiday island.
In fact, this is not just Hu Jiangshan’s random thought.
If the semiconductor production line is completed in the future, it will definitely require a lot of debugging. Hu Jiangshan will really have to live on the island and it will be impossible for him to run back and forth.
That would be too tiring and a waste of time.
Precision manufacturing is not simple. Even if a semiconductor production line is very advanced and capable of producing advanced chips, it does not mean that it can automatically produce advanced chips by starting the machine.
There is a concept of yield in chip production, and especially in the production of advanced chips, it is almost impossible to achieve a 100% yield.
In fact, TSMC's technological strength was already very strong in 2018, but its yield rate had not yet reached its peak.
TSMC's 7-nanometer chip process technology is okay, but its 5-nanometer chip process has just begun to mature and is far from reaching the 90% yield rate in the later stage.
The semiconductor production line made by the Technology Engine APP should be very advanced, but Hu Jiangshan also does not think it is a fool-proof production line.
Otherwise, the construction cost of this production line would not be as high as 10 million, which shows that there is still a very high technical threshold.
Hu Jiangshan was cautious and did not leave immediately. He walked around the island again, but did not notice any fence suddenly appearing anywhere.
That’s strange, hasn’t construction started yet?
It was already dark at this time, and although you could still see things, it was still quite creepy.
After all, this is a deserted island, there is no one else, and a massacre has occurred.
Hu Jiangshan also found that the tide had begun to rise, the only beach on the island was half flooded, and the reef area was submerged.
The dock was safe and sound, which meant that it could indeed be built into a deep-water dock to accommodate large ships.
The sea wind was particularly strong today. Hu Jiangshan felt comfortable immediately after boarding the Seahorse.
At night, the sea became very rough and sailing felt unsafe.
Hu Jiangshan thought about it and decided not to go back tonight and just sleep here.
Anyway, there is everything on the boat, so you won’t be cold or hungry.
Hu Jiangshan checked the fuel on the boat and found that half of it was left, which was plenty.
Hu Jiangshan found a box of semi-finished pasta from the refrigerator and just needed to heat it up in the microwave.
After eating, go to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the sleep quality on the boat was quite high. Hu Jiangshan slept until the next morning.
Hu Jiangshan walked to the private outdoor front deck outside the master bedroom and was stunned by the beautiful scenery.
The sea is blue and the sky is blue. Seagulls occasionally fly across the sky, leaving behind their clear cries.
It was really beautiful. No wonder rich people all wanted to buy yachts. It was worth it. This was how you enjoyed life. Hu Jiangshan went back to the restaurant to eat something, and then went to the island again.
Finally, Hu Jiangshan saw the new construction site.
Wow, a large area has been cordoned off.
Hu Jiangshan was stunned. He didn't expect the area to be so large. It looked to be more than four or five times larger than a tidal power station.
But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.
The desalination of seawater is a huge project. If the facilities are too small, it means that the seawater processing capacity is insufficient, so how can it possibly support semiconductor production?
When Hu Jiangshan saw such a large construction site, he felt at ease and reliable.
Hu Jiangshan drove the Seahorse back to Hong Kong Island.
In the next few days, Hu Jiangshan stayed in his apartment and became a stay-at-home, printing parts for the signal amplifier.
That 3D printer was more inefficient than Hu Jiangshan had imagined.
The printing speed is too slow and the accuracy is difficult to control, sometimes high and sometimes low. Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan is a top scientist and he is professional when dealing with these precision machines.
Hu Jiangshan modified the 3D printer himself and finally it met his requirements.
But this delayed the process by two days, so it took a full week to print these parts.
Hu Jiangshan spent another whole day assembling all the parts.
The signal amplifier is finally completed.
Hu Jiangshan looked at the assembled instrument and breathed a sigh of relief.
This instrument is as big as a 24-inch suitcase. It is not small, but not bulky either. The key is that it is powerful and highly sophisticated. It can be said to be a product beyond this era.
To be honest, Huayao is now a communications giant on Blue Star and is absolutely invincible in terms of technology. However, if Huayao's top engineers were to study the signal amplifier made by Hu Jiangshan, they would definitely be shocked.
Hu Jiangshan turned on the power and tested the results. It was great. The signals of all major operators, including China's, were full.
The next step is to take the equipment to General Island and install it on the lighthouse.
After being busy for a while, Hu Jiangshan felt quite tired. He poured himself a cup of coffee and started reading the news on his mobile phone.
The timeliness of Hong Kong Island’s news websites is relatively high, but there are also a lot of news that are trending.
Even for the same news, various media outlets interpret it differently. There are even rumors flying around, lies being told with open eyes, and news information that confuses right and wrong being everywhere.
Of course, as a time traveler, Hu Jiangshan would not be led by the rhythm, because he knew most of the important events, and what he didn't know was basically gossip about celebrities.
At this time, a piece of news attracted his attention.
[Huayao is anxious and is negotiating with TSMC to give priority to Huayao’s chip orders]
Hu Jiangshan clicked on the title and read the content. It was pretty much the same as the course of events he knew.
Although the United States has not yet officially banned TSMC from manufacturing chips for Huayao, there are already signs of that happening.
The news said that people at Huayao have begun to panic and are now trying hard to persuade TSMC to give priority to Huayao's chip orders.
Including Qilin series, Shengteng series, Tiangang series...
They are all well-known chip series.
At this time, Huayao's chip design capabilities have surpassed America's Gaoxin and are catching up with Apple.
If the United States had not imposed sanctions, Huayao's chip IC design would have reached the top in just one year.
