Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 153 Two types of people

Following Cai Yaobin's train of thought and based on his position in the military equipment department, Kang Chi quickly guessed the true purpose of his words.

After thinking for a moment, Kang Chi slowly said: "I understand what you mean, but I still want to continue studying civilian technology."

"why?"

"Because I think our situation is still a little different from the previous powers."

"The first is our own market, which is much larger than theirs. Most of the time our production capacity cannot even satisfy the domestic market..."

"The scope project that was originally formulated was just a back-up preparation before the camera was released. Now that photolithography machines are available, cameras are available, and photosensitive components can be manufactured. Our stage is still very big. , including silicon wafers, at least for now, the importance of foreign markets is not that big for us."

"To put it bluntly, why should we sell to them things that we ourselves can't afford? If it's to earn some foreign exchange and buy things that can't be made domestically, then I'll make them myself!"

"I don't care about their dollar bills at all!"

Cai Yaobin: "..."

Facing Kang Chi's unabashed arrogance, Cai Yaobin couldn't find a reason to refute for a while.

In other words, Kang Chi, who has just built a photolithography machine, is indeed qualified to say such a thing...

Anyway, from Kang Chi's point of view, even if they really overturn the table, everyone will play their own way from now on, and they will definitely be the ones who suffer in the end.

After calming down, Kang Chi continued: "I know this may be one-sided and even a little selfish. I will never deny that I am a short-sighted businessman."

"I also know that my personal power is limited, but I still want to start from the side and try to make changes within my ability."

Hearing Kang Chi completely reveal his attitude, Cai Yaobin couldn't say anything else.

Strictly speaking, the two of them are actually two typical types of people.

One is a civil servant who cares about the country and the people, the other is a military general who opens up borders and consolidates territory.

Although their goals are consistent with each other, the differences in fields and abilities destined their methods of action and concepts to be completely different.

"I understand what you mean. Then I can only wish Dr. Kang that he will realize his dream as soon as possible." Cai Yaobin stood up and said, "To be honest, I am looking forward to it. After all, after taking off this military uniform, I am actually an ordinary person." , is a father of two children, and from the bottom of my heart, I want to see everyone in China live a good life without worries about food and clothing."

"Well, this day will come, and it will be in the near future." Kang Chi smiled, and then took the initiative to reach out and shake his hand, "Actually, civilian technology and military technology have never been two completely unrelated fields. , for example, the photolithography machine and this scope you are planning to purchase, the two can often be replaced with each other... maybe soon, you guys will come to me to purchase new equipment."

"Oh?" Cai Yaobin asked curiously, "What is Dr. Kang going to study next?"

"Now that I've said it, there's no sense of surprise anymore."

"..."      I can only say that he is worthy of the man who hid the lithography machine until the press conference...
-

Since the news was only fermented within China last night, by the time the international media began to report the advent of Qin Guang-1, the stock market in Country M had already closed.

This gave the institutions ample time to prepare. Although the news had not been truly confirmed, most institutions began to panic. In the panic, the first thing they did was to use their special skills to block the news as much as possible. Hold in order to be the first to sell and short the stock.

At 8:30 in the evening in Yanjing, the stock market in country M finally opened.

As big capital left the market, the entire M-share semiconductor industry fell across the board.

Sony is doing pretty well. After all, their business is huge, and their camera and sensor business only accounts for more than 30% at most, so the sell-off trend is actually smaller than expected.

In addition, Soni Group had prepared countermeasures in advance, so it only fell 2% within an hour of the market opening.

But ASML, Nikon and Canon, the three companies that can manufacture lithography machines, are not so lucky.

Especially ASML, which has a single product structure and only makes photolithography machines,

In just one hour, it fell from 611 US dollars per share to 554 US dollars, a drop of more than 9%, and the market value directly evaporated by more than billion.

Moreover, M shares will not fall below the limit. If this trend continues, it is estimated that 40 billion will evaporate in one day.

At this time, Lao Wen had just rushed back to the company. The senior executives and directors who were vacationing around the world like him also ended their Christmas vacations early and hurried back.

In fact, before coming back, they had already held a video conference, and their initial response was to submit an application to Windmill Country to get them to agree to ASML's export of EUV lithography machines to China.

After all, people can build it themselves, so there is no point in continuing to restrict it. Next, they can only compete with Daqin Optics for speed.

Apart from that, there really isn't much they can do.

At the same time, Fujita Yoshiki also rushed back to Tokyo overnight on the day of the press conference and participated in the Sony high-level meeting the next day. In addition to making arrangements to deal with the possible stock market crash in advance, they also formulated plans for the digital camera field. some emergency measures.

The first is to further reduce the price of cameras and lenses, and the second is to decentralize technology.

When it comes to squeezing toothpaste, apart from Intel, the three camera giants are also considered industry leaders.

In fact, they have very sufficient technical reserves, and the product hardware can obviously meet the technical support, but they do not release it. Instead, they grade the technology layer by layer. For every higher level of technology, the price will be higher. It means harvesting leeks slowly and maximizing the value of each technology.

The main thing is that no one competes with them.

The three of them have always been fighting among themselves, and no matter how fierce the fight looks from an outsider's perspective, it actually doesn't get to the point of physical contact.

However, the emergence of Daqin Optics forced them to speed up the decentralization of technology and transfer some technologies originally used in mid-range products to low-end products through firmware upgrades to increase the competitiveness of low-end products and other products. And so on.

比如原本只能拍4K60P的半画幅A6000系列，直接给到4K120P H.265编码的视频拍摄性能。

And this 4K120P video shooting function was originally only available on the A7S3, a full-frame mirrorless camera priced at more than yuan. But it was transferred to a machine priced at to yuan, and it directly surpassed Wuan in video shooting performance.

　Before I know it, another year has passed.

　　I wish all the big guys a Happy New Year in advance~
