Like many industries, the finer the things produced, the higher the environment required.

However, at this stage, the small workshop-style imitation factory has not yet developed to cover from head to toe, and it has to be dusted several times when entering the workshop.

Under Ke Mingxiong's buttocks is Zhang Xiaoma, on his head is a wooden rack with tiles on him, a cigarette in his mouth, and a hand is dismantling Wanhu's latest arcade machine.

He cannot be said to be completely uninterested in arcade games, but his interest in arcade games is far less than that of the hardware itself.

The pleasure of playing games is far less refreshing than understanding the operating principles of hardware. Imagine that with nothing, using a handful of sand and a lump of metal can make the electrons run according to their own will and get the calculation results they want.

How could this kind of design circuit be as happy as the Creator? How could it be comparable to a mere electronic game?

In Ke Mingxiong's own opinion, this is like an ordinary person caring about money and matter in the real world, while scientists are exploring the ultimate mystery of the universe. It is not the same level at all.

However, scientists also need funds, and simple ideals cannot support their progress. Ke Mingxiong, who is determined to become the creator of electronics, also needs money. Therefore, he was slightly resistant to his heart, dismantling other electronics universes, God created the world and imitating their universe's path.

However, when he really started to crack the hardware secrets of an arcade machine, this shame had long been thrown into Siberia to count the snowflakes.

"Why is the integration of this machine so low?" Ke Mingxiong took apart the machine and saw that it was densely packed inside, with a "solid" workmanship and murmured to himself.

You should know that almost all companies make money first. When the products they launch meet product specifications, they will naturally save money. If there is no clear lower limit, for profit manufacturers, the lower limit can penetrate from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere. This is probably one of the reasons for the birth of industry standards.

Even if the standards are not reliable, they are better than believing in the conscience of capitalists.

With the maturity of the arcade industry, whether it is large arcade manufacturers or small factories, they tend to use general electronic components.

Because general components have higher output, the cost per unit will be lower, which can guarantee more profits.

If an arcade machine substrate can be as big as a finger cover, they will never be as big as a turtle cover.

In Ke Mingxiong's view, the multi-layer substrate used by Wanhu's new arcade machine is not highly integrated and does not conform to market laws at all.

"Is it a new way to prevent theft?" Ke Mingxiong thought.

Although general-purpose components reduce costs, they also face a problem, that is, they can purchase all these parts.

Even a small roadside factory like Ke Mingxiong can make similar arcade machines as long as you purchase components and use a soldering iron to solder it on your own.

What? Isn’t every small roadside factory has a skilled expert like Ke Mingxiong?

This is simple.

For example, what Ke Mingxiong himself is doing is selling a complete set of pirated arcade production plans. From the purchased component models to the welding process of assembly lines, even if the boss is illiterate, the technical workers under him can make arcades as decently as they are.

This is also something that the Taiwan (Harmony) Bay authorities secretly advocated. To develop the electronics industry, blood transfusion will never work, and it will eventually lead to blood production.

If there were no manufacturers that produced pirated arcades, how could the electronics industry in Taiwan (Harmony) Bay rise?

A folk electronic hardware expert like Ke Mingxiong who has a skill and is almost self-taught, is also recorded on it.

With the employment opportunities he indirectly created and the number of electronic components consumed, if there are the top ten outstanding young people in Taiwan (Harmony) Bay, he might be on the list.

Since using general components will lower the threshold for pirated versions, think about it in reverse, it is naturally to use non-universal electronic components to improve the door opening, and at least filter out those pirated small manufacturers that do not have any technical capabilities.

Ke Mingxiong checked the substrates one by one, unplugged the cables, and carefully examined the substrate status of Wanhu's new arcade machine.

In almost anyone's opinion, integrated circuits have a different aesthetic. Maybe one day it enters the garbage dump like a steam machine, and there will be special literary works for nostalgia, or even a special artistic type.

However, in the eyes of experts, it is not just about order and beauty. Ke Mingxiong saw two capital abbreviation letters "cn" from the small notes on the substrate.

"cn?" Ke Mingxiong thought about where this was the abbreviation, and it seemed to look familiar. He had seen the circuit board with the abbreviation "jp" and I don't know how many of it was, and "cn" was really rare.

Yes!

Remember it!

It's the mainland!

But...when did the mainland start making arcades?

Just as Ke Mingxiong was in deep thought, the blue young man next to him asked, "Mingxiong, what's wrong? This machine is not easy to imitate? It's okay, don't worry. I can guarantee that we got this arcade machine from the first few Taiwanese (Harmony) Bay. You can't design a copy plan, and others can't get it."

Skipping the comforting words of the blue youth as if they were nonsense, Ke Mingxiong raised his head and replied, "These circuit boards are made from the mainland. I'm not sure if the components on it are also made from the mainland."

"Mainland? It's so poor there. Old Wang next door has been married for so many years. Didn't he easily marry a mainland girl? Those dead Lu can also build circuit boards?" said the blue young man with contempt.

Ke Mingxiong did not have the same arrogance and prejudice as the blue youth. In his opinion, the mainland has great potential. The simplest point is that there are many people.

He believes that there is a probability that any talent will appear. The probability of an industry genius may be one in a billion. Taiwan (Harmony) Bay may have to accumulate for many years before one will appear in probability. If there are more people in the mainland, the time for genius will be shorter.

As a fan of electronic hardware, he is familiar with the history of electronic development. The mainland has never been a desert of electronics. However, it followed the Soviet Union and took the route of large-scale machine mid-sized machines. When it did not realize the significance of personal computers and lacked technical strength reserves, it opened its doors and allowed the US electronic products to be rampant, resulting in a complete stagnation of its own technological development.

Judging from Ke Mingxiong's understanding, the time when the mainland and the US electronics industry were closest to each other was only five years away. However, after several years of desolation, there may be a gap of twenty or thirty years now.

Who would have thought that a person who abandoned his martial arts skills would come back?

This is why Ke Mingxiong was surprised.
