Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

There's no urgency to acquiring Pixar and establishing a digital light and magic company. You know, both companies need high-performance computers, or graphics workstations.

As the saying goes: If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

SGI Silicon Graphics of the United States is currently the most famous graphics workstation developer. Just last year, Silicon Graphics launched the first batch of RISC (reduced instruction set) workstations, becoming the world's first batch of RISC workstations.

Films such as "Jurassic Park", "Lord of the Rings", and "Crash Landing on You" were all produced on SGI's graphics workstations.

The success of "Titanic" is also largely due to its extensive use of computer animation, which successfully simulated the tragic scenes of the time. The world-famous digital studio Digital Domain spent a year and a half using more than 300 SGI super workstations to produce the computer stunts in "Titanic".

This shows the significance of graphics workstations to computer special effects companies.

Coincidentally, the computers developed by Wujiang Group are also RISC computers, which are high-performance computers. As long as they are improved, they can develop graphics workstations and are expected to make great achievements in the field of supercomputing and compete with American Silicon Graphics and IBM.

In its previous life, SGI achieved more than half of the market share of the world's 500 largest supercomputers in the field of supercomputing.

In this life, history may change.

Wujiang Group should get a piece of the supercomputer market.

When it comes to research on RISC (reduced instruction set) computers, neither SGI nor ARM can keep up with Borderless.

无疆在赵烨的带领下，致力于RISC芯片的研究，先后陆续推出了8位的麒麟1处理器和16位的麒麟2处理器，现在就连32位的麒麟3处理器也都快开发出来了。

In fact, it is not difficult to develop 32-bit RISC processors.

Acorn Computer Company, ARM's parent company, developed the 32-bit ARM1 chip in less than a year a few years ago, and also launched a microcomputer with the ARM1 chip.

Loongson Design Company, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, is no longer "Wu Xia Amon". After several years of development, Loongson Design Company's technical team has long been cultivated, and its technology far surpasses ARM.

As long as you simply compare a set of data, you will know the gap between the current Loongson Design Company and ARM.

ARM developers: about 10 people.

Kirin microprocessor series developers: about 200 people.

The two are simply incomparable.

Although ARM has released a 32-bit processor, its performance is not powerful, and it can only continue to find ways to improve it.

The Kirin series designed by Loongson Design Company was aimed at powerful performance from the beginning.

Only by striving for excellence can the 32-bit Kirin 3 processor be used in personal computers and compete with Intel chips.

As for ARM chips, so far, it has been difficult to find large-scale application in personal computers.

In addition, it is more difficult for ARM to develop due to competition from Kirin 1 and Kirin 2 chips.

If nothing else, ARM has no chance of rising.

In fact, Loongson Design Company aims to create an extremely advanced "Loongson Architecture", which was researched and designed by Zhao Ye based on his previous understanding of ARM, MIPS, RSIC-V and other reduced instruction set architectures.

There is no need to think too much about patent issues, because many technologies have not yet been developed.

Then, as long as Loongson Design Company develops them first, these technologies will belong to Loongson Design Company's patents and can also curb the development of competitors.

Loongson architecture chips have great advantages, such as small size, low cost, low power consumption, high performance, fast instruction execution speed, pipeline processing, modular functions...

The modular function of "Loongson Architecture" is designed so that a suitable instruction set can be selected for development according to specific scenarios. This modular function allows developers to easily design server CPUs, home appliance CPUs, industrial control CPUs, and even CPUs used in sensors smaller than a finger based on the "Loongson" instruction set architecture.

It is precisely because of this that there are so many developers of Kirin series chips.

It can be seen that Kirin chips are actually a type of Loongson architecture.

Now, as long as it waits for the Kirin 3 processor to come out, Wujiang Group can launch a personal computer brand and further design and develop graphics workstations, servers, and supercomputers.

……

At noon, Zhao Ye had dinner with the studio's executives at the Shanghai Art Film Studio and chatted by the way.

Zhao Ye picked up a piece of beef and chewed it carefully while listening to them talk about the studio.

"Boss, the works of the domestic fairy tale king Zheng Yuanjie are very good. Our studio intends to adapt his works, such as "Shuke and Beta". I wonder if you have seen it." Xu Xiangming, director of the studio, said while eating .

When Zhao Ye heard this, he instantly thought of "Shuke who flies a plane and Beta who drives a tank." Although he has never read fairy tales, he has seen cartoons. At that time, his children loved watching cartoons. I also watched a little bit with him.

"Shuke and Beta" is a very interesting work and very popular.

So, Zhao Ye suggested: "I haven't seen it, but you can try to adapt it."

"Boss, I think we can make animated biographical cartoons of historical figures to spread Chinese culture and let children learn Chinese history through cartoons!" Director Tang Cheng suggested.

Zhao Ye's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise: "This is a good idea and deserves strong support!"

"It should be broadcast in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and let the children in the two places watch it, so that some children will not even know the history of China when they grow up."

"In addition, it is sent to TV stations around the world for free to spread Chinese history and culture, so that children of foreigners know that China is a country of etiquette and has a long history of five thousand years. Unlike the United States, which was only founded for more than two hundred years, it is known for its dirty Use dirty means to occupy this fertile land in North America..."

If Americans dare to disgust themselves in the future, then they will take the initiative to help make American historical cartoons and actively promote how Americans gained a foothold in the Americas.

What a brilliance!

This is free America, democratic America!

Zhao Ye took two sips of chicken soup and continued: "You can also adapt Chinese mythological stories. Come to think of it, such cartoons will definitely be very popular. Alas, there is so much Chinese culture. If we really adapt them all, we will be really busy! "

Zhao Ye smiled.

Xu Xiangming, Wan Laiming and others were convinced and nodded involuntarily to express their agreement.

Zhao Ye suddenly thought at this time that although there are many good things in China, he cannot completely deny foreign works.

Can Disney's "The Lion King" be produced by American Film Studio?

And "Jurassic Park"?

What about Harry Potter?

What about "Pirates of the Caribbean"?

Wouldn't it be okay to make some magical changes and add a lot of Chinese elements?

Who said there is no magic in China?

China not only has magic, but also Qimen Dunjia, astrology, Maoshan Taoism, Gu magic, etc.
