With the help of Liu Yu, Kang Chi spent almost four days and finally succeeded in making his graphics card prototype!
Looking at the half-palm-sized integrated circuit board in his hand, Kang Chi couldn’t help but sigh.
This chip is really hard to make! It’s such a thing whose performance is almost eliminated at the moment. With so many ready-made equipment and Liu Yu’s technical support, Kang Chi also tried more than a dozen times before finally succeeding.
To put it simply, chips are just soldered diodes. The more diodes, the better the performance.
Using building a house as an example, a diode is a brick, and the current international mainstream chip is a city. As for the chip in Kang Chi’s hand, it is at most a slightly more complicated house.
But it doesn’t matter.
As long as the system is upgraded, there will be high-rise buildings, and the structure will become more and more complex and efficient.
After Kang Chi put away the graphics card, he nodded gratefully to Liu Yu: “I really troubled you these days.”
”It’s okay. Anyway, there are no orders now, so I’m just sitting around doing nothing.” Thinking of the 50,000 yuan Kang Chi gave him, Liu Yu smiled a little embarrassedly, “And you didn’t give me any money, I should be the one thanking you.”
”But to be honest, you are quite talented in this area. I originally thought that it would take you at least a week to learn how to use these equipment, but it’s only been less than four days and you’ve made the card.”
Kang Chi smiled: “I used to repair cameras, so I might be quite good at this kind of delicate work.”
”No wonder, repairing cameras is also a technical job, and the principles are actually similar.”
After finishing the graphics card, the two had a meal together, and then Liu Yu drove his second-hand Arrizo to send Kang Chi to the train station.
“Come to Dongyang if you have a chance.”
”Well, I’ll definitely come when I’m free. Have a nice trip.”
The two said goodbye briefly, and Kang Chi got on the train back to Dongyang, ending the trip perfectly.
After returning home, Kang Chi immediately took out the graphics card and upgraded it using 20 general experience points.
A glimmer of light flashed by, and the appearance of this image processor did not change much, but its properties were greatly improved.

[Item Level: 2]
[Experience: 0/50]
[Item Status: Intact]
[Item Parameters: 12-micron manufacturing process, main frequency 64MHz, video memory 520KB]
[Analysis Item: Analyzable]
[General Experience: 633]
[Mastery Points: 18.6]
Although the parameters have been improved by nearly ten times, it is far from enough! Continue to upgrade!
General Experience -50, - 100, - 400,
After three consecutive flashes of light, the appearance of the graphics card has changed significantly. Not only has the volume increased, but there are also heat dissipation aluminum sheets and cooling fans.
Finally, it looks a bit like a graphics card.
[Item: Silicon Image Processor]
[Manufacturer: Kang Chi]
[Item Level: 5]
[Experience: 0/800]
[Item Status: Intact]
[Item Parameters: 40-nanometer manufacturing process, main frequency 512MHz, video memory 521MB]
[Analysis Item: Analyzable]
[General Experience: 83]
[Mastery Points: 18.6]
The graphics card upgraded to level 5 has finally entered the 40-nanometer process technology, and its performance is only slightly lower than the GTX5 series graphics card released by NVIDIA ten years ago. But this is still not enough.
Although Kang Chi does not want to suddenly create a graphics card that surpasses NVIDIA when the time is not yet ripe,
This is too easy to make people suspicious.
He needs to gradually let the market and the public know and accept himself, and complete the transcendence at the right time.
But this doesn’t mean that he has to start with a product at the GTX550 level…Too low-end.
It should be at the level of GTX1050, right?
But the problem is that he doesn’t have enough general experience now…
So Kang Chi, who was eager to try, immediately rushed to the company and entered the return warehouse of Daqin Optics.
In Daqin Optics, there is a rule that everyone has always found strange:
All user returns, free replacements and free replacement products must be concentrated in this “return warehouse”. Only returns that have been “inspected” by Kang Chi can enter the next step of processing.
Thanks to Suo Ni’s smearing of Daqin Optics some time ago, this return warehouse has accumulated nearly a thousand lenses.
”Convert, convert, convert!”
Uh, Why do I feel like I’m practicing the Star Absorbing Technique…
Kang Chi was converting general experience while checking the attribute panel.
Huh? 653 experience points? This lens experience is overflowing! [Item: 35mm F1.4 lens]
[Manufacturer: Daqin Optics]
[Item level: 2]
[Experience: 653/400]
[General experience: 369]
[Mastery points: 18.6]
[Item status: Good]
[Analysis items: No analysis items]
Looking at the lens in his hand, Kang Chi immediately smiled.
This means that he can not only get a level 3 lens immediately, but also save a valuable general experience.
”I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected gain today!”
Kang Chi upgraded the lens without hesitation.
A flash of light passed by, and this 35mm humanistic lens became slightly larger and heavier, and a small AF/MF switch was added on the side of the body.
The moment he saw this switch, Kang Chi was ecstatic.
As expected, this lens finally has autofocus!
[Item: 35mm F1.4 AF Lens]
[Manufacturer: Daqin Optics]
[Item Level: 3]

[General Experience: 369]
[Mastery Points: 18.6]
[Item Status: Intact]
[Analysis Item: Analyzable]
Although the appearance of the lens has not changed much, Kang Chi knows very well that the structure inside must be many times more complicated than before.
The principle of lens autofocus is actually very simple, that is, to install a small electric motor inside to drive the lens to move forward and backward, so as to achieve precise focus.
The principle is very simple, but the actual design is not easy at all.
First of all, the lens needs a system that interacts with the camera to know how and how much the lens should move.
Sometimes, the error may be only 1mm or 0.1 second, which will cause the focus to sag, causing the user experience to plummet, and classifying it as a junk lens with unusable autofocus.
Secondly, this small electric motor is not an ordinary motor.
It needs to meet multiple requirements such as small size, high precision, fast start and stop, excellent silence, etc., and its technical content is no less than that of the lens.
After upgrading the lens, Kang Chi did not rush to test it, but continued to convert the general experience. After processing this pile of recycled lenses, the general experience rose to 1280 points.
It is enough to upgrade the graphics card! (End of this chapter)
