Chapter 776: Plan B
In fact, there is another reason, that is, with the strong rise of Wu Hao, they have received more and more attention. In particular, the huge potential they have shown in sensitive fields such as high-tech and military technology has made some countries jealous. For example, the United States has greatly imposed sanctions on them, which has caused them to encounter very big trouble in overseas markets. And recently, because of the infringement of fruit patents, the United States has increased their sanctions, and there are even rumors that they have begun to consider restricting their allies from restricting the export of high-tech accessories to the target enterprises of sanctions.
Although Wu Hao uses domestic parts as much as possible, they still rely on foreign companies for some cutting-edge parts.
For example, the chip, for example, this HD lens. Among them, Wu Hao's biggest lens supplier is S Ni from the Wa Kingdom.
If S Ni finally can't withstand the pressure from the United States and finally suspends the supply to them, then they will face a state of no goods available.
This also gave Wu Hao a strong sense of crisis, and set up Plan B.
What is Plan B, it is another set of plans, backup, spare tire, whatever, similar to H's spare tire plan.
The purpose of setting up Plan B is to require them to establish a backup supply chain in addition to the existing upstream supply chain of parts, so as to prevent the production of their products from coming to a halt after the upstream supply chain is interrupted.
It is also because of this plan, so in recent years, they have been increasing their support for domestic enterprises, and the products of the same level are given priority to domestic production, even if the cost of domestic parts procurement is higher.
Secondly, it is to actively screen excellent domestic parts production suppliers and include them in Plan B for emergency start-up.
In fact, the list of businesses in this set of Plan B is updated every once in a while to ensure that Plan B can be launched at any time.
In addition, Wu Hao and they are also active in self-research and development. For example, they have successively established a number of intelligent manufacturing factories (intelligent unmanned factories) in order to increase their ability to resist risks.
These smart manufacturing factories can not only produce products, but also various parts. Because it adopts a modular design scheme when socializing, it can be replaced at any time, and even different sizes of products can be personalized to truly customize products.
Speaking of this, I have to say that Wu Hao's battery factory, at present, their new lithium battery is still the latest hot product in the world's digital electronic products, basically the latest release of the main flagship products, are applicable to their batteries or battery technology.
Although they have authorized other lithium battery companies related to the new lithium battery technology, but this is only the first generation of technology, at present their battery factory is already producing the third generation of new lithium batteries, this latest lithium battery compared to the previous generation of products The performance has been greatly improved, let alone directly crush the first generation of products.
In addition, in addition to the new lithium battery technology, Wu Hao and they also have more advanced super solid-state batteries.
At present, this solid-state battery is not widely used, and is only used in some cutting-edge products. Take Wu Hao and them as an example, at present, this super solid-state battery is only used on Wu Hao's smart AR sunglasses and the latest generation of smart AR glasses.
Other manufacturers want it very much, but Wu Hao just doesn't let go, and these manufacturers can't help it.
However, this is not enough, they are also very dependent on imports for some cutting-edge technologies and components, such as the aforementioned chips and lenses.
So in order to get rid of this restriction, they can only work their own. And this hexagonal honeycomb compound lens has the opportunity to break the monopoly of foreign countries, and improve the domestic optical imaging technology to the international advanced level, truly run in small steps, overtaking in corners.
Secondly, this hexagonal honeycomb compound lens is also a very important optical sensor for future intelligent robots, or electronic glasses, because it can produce a panoramic perspective and present a significant depth sensor.
That's right, intelligent robots, this is also the key scientific research area of Wu Hao's research and development. They have already made a major breakthrough in software. The AI system they released is smart enough to change the lifestyle of countless people and countless families.
And Wu Hao's personal intelligent assistant 'Coco' is the leader among them and is known as the company's intelligent brain.
Except that it has no personal consciousness and no body, it is actually about the same as a human being. If you talk to it on the phone, you can't even tell that it's an artificial intelligence program.
But in terms of hardware, they have been slow to progress.
In order to solve the problem of poor battery life of robots, they have developed a new type of lithium battery and super solid-state battery to improve the endurance of intelligent robots.
In order to make its movement flexible enough, they have developed an intelligent robotic arm that can completely replace human hands, and its flexibility is higher than that of human hands.
In order to allow it to move freely, Wu Hao and they have developed intelligent mechanical legs and feet. At present, this intelligent machine has been used on some disabled people and has received a lot of praise.
But this is not enough, because this is still only a small part of the intelligent robot, and there are still many problems that need to be solved, such as the problem of driving.
The human torso is one of the most important parts of the human body, it concentrates 90% of the organs in the human body, and it is extremely supportive.
If nothing else, let's just say that the spine driven by the human body cannot be bionic at present. Despite the fact that it only has a small amount of activity, it bears a very large weight of the human body, and it is also very flexible.
In addition, let's talk about the eyes of intelligent robots. As the main window for its external observation and access to information, the robot's eyes are crucial.
Today's electronic lens technology is also very advanced, and it can also be used as the eyes of intelligent robots, but it is obviously not enough.
If the intelligent robot of the future wants to replace humans to perform some work or perform more difficult tasks, it needs to have a good pair of glasses.
The compound lens is the best representative. It frees the intelligent robot from the dilemma of being turned into a Muggle face by the camera, and also allows the intelligent robot to have many functions.
It can be ultra-wide-angle, even 360-degree panoramic view, and can also be observed at an ultra-long distance, and can also realize macro, low-light, infrared, and even X-ray functions, which truly makes it have a pair of super glasses.
This is the hidden ambition in Wu Hao's heart, and it is also an important reason why he spares no effort to support this project.
It's coming, it's getting closer to that goal.
