Two Aspects

Following Han Yang's command, the large pile of messy circuit boards, cables, and other items in front of him instantly vanished.

The next moment, Han Yang felt an even more surging computing power. The 40 computers that were currently working and had previously occupied over 90% of his computing power suddenly saw their share drop at this moment.

"So this is the new generation of CPUs..."

Han Yang silently sighed.

Although the computing power only increased by 2.8 times, instead of the theoretically calculated three times, Han Yang was already quite satisfied.

Theory is always just theory. In reality, there's always some discount. He was already very pleased with this increase.

At this moment, in the power leveling room, the 60 previously empty slots were now filled with brand new computers. Robots had also been installed.

The power leveling room was completely occupied.

With the surplus computing power, a thought flashed through Han Yang's mind, and 60 robots simultaneously extended their mechanical arms and pressed the power buttons on the 60 new computers.

Accompanied by the buzzing sound from the computer cases, the 60 computers started up smoothly.

Some accumulated power leveling orders were immediately logged in and began to be processed. At the same time, a message was posted on Han Yang's online store.

"Our little shop has been completely upgraded, with over 150 new power leveling experts hired, greatly enhancing our order processing capacity. From this moment on, there's no need to queue when placing an order!"

In the past, because Revival Game Studio was slow in processing orders and often required queuing, even though it was efficient and low-priced, a large number of orders were still lost.

Now, Han Yang wanted to win back this portion of orders.

As the announcement was released, a large number of inquiries instantly flooded in. Han Yang accepted all of them without refusal.

But even so, with a total of 100 computers—excluding one business computer, which left 99—the utilization rate still didn't reach 100%. Only 78 computers were working, and the remaining ones were still idle.

"It's okay, not many people have seen the announcement yet."

Han Yang wasn't in a hurry at all.

Indeed, by the next day, the number of orders gradually increased, and eventually, all 99 computers were working.

Once the utilization rate reached 100%, it never dropped again.

It was still the same old saying: the only thing limiting the transaction volume of Revival Game Studio was always its order processing capacity.

Low price, high efficiency, high skill, good attitude, and quick response – what reason did customers have not to come here?

And, even when the utilization rate reached 100%, after the application of the new generation 2.72mm process CPU, Han Yang's computing power utilization rate only reached 80%, still leaving some capacity.

Han Yang could completely add more computers to fully utilize the computing power and achieve the highest profitability. But looking at the packed power leveling room, he still gave up on this decision.

He didn't plan to add more power leveling computers here at Fuxing Base. That would encroach on the research lab's space.

"Since I'm not adding more computers, I'll increase the number of high-end orders. The computing power can still be fully utilized and won't be idle and wasted."

Han Yang immediately posted a second message in the store: "Our little shop has been revamped and upgraded, and we are now offering the following promotional activities: The power leveling fees for 156 high-difficulty BOSSes such as Ocean Star Serpent Emperor and Planet Devourer have been directly reduced by 10%. Welcome to place your orders!"

As soon as the fees dropped, the number of high-end orders immediately surged. Han Yang skillfully used the Nash equilibrium principle, precisely adjusting the prices of various power leveling services, and accurately maintaining his daily income at a high level.

After a day of full operation with all 99 computers working and the computing power utilization rate maintained above 96%, Han Yang immediately began to take stock.

Immediately, an astonishing figure appeared before Han Yang.

The 99 computers worked hard for a day, with a total income of 75,000 Human Currency!

Based on this daily income, a month would be 2.25 million, and a year would be 27 million!

This income growth rate could no longer be described as a surge, but rather an explosion.

"With money, I can proceed with the next step of my plan."

Temporarily suppressing his excitement, Han Yang began to seriously plan the next stage of development.

The power leveling room at Fuxing Base was currently full, but his computing power utilization rate was also high at the moment, so there was no need to rush to upgrade the base for now.

The most important thing was to further increase computing power, and research and manufacture more advanced, higher-computing power CPUs.

This was the most important and core task.

"However, according to the mainstream chip manufacturing rules in the world, chips with a process below 2.72mm usually no longer adopt the method of manufacturing with circuit boards plus transistors plus cables.

This is too low-level.

Generally speaking, even industrial chips with lower technical content, or even microcontrollers with extremely low performance requirements, will adopt a new manufacturing method.

This new manufacturing method involves many steps. From the initial wafer purification, to wet cleaning, lithography, photolithography, etching, heat treatment, and so on, every step requires professional workshops and professional equipment.

Low-performance chips like microcontrollers don't have very high environmental requirements, but a cleanroom is still necessary, right?

I simply don't have the ability to assemble an entire production line right now."

Han Yang frowned tightly.

Between the 2.72mm process chips that can be manufactured manually and the 100 micrometer, or 0.1mm process chips, there is a relatively large technical vacuum area.

For human civilization, this is not a problem at all. This technical vacuum can be easily crossed, as long as a production line is set up.

But for Han Yang, crossing this technical vacuum is relatively difficult.

Unless Han Yang starts saving money from now on, for a year or two, and expands Fuxing Base enough to accommodate an entire production line.

At this stage, what he needed was a more advanced chip manufacturing method with low cost, low environmental requirements, and low complexity, rather than taking a step directly to large-scale assembly lines.

Taking too big a step can lead to problems.

"I still need to find a way through the custom-made route. That's what suits me best. A technological vacuum doesn't matter; at least this route has no theoretical obstacles. I just need to research more."

But this also meant two problems.

Because there was no market demand, the cables that met his requirements – fine enough yet reliable enough – the transistors small enough, and the other components, probably weren't available on the market at all. He might even have to get them specially customized.

Also, to manufacture more advanced computer chips, more knowledge was required. At this moment, Han Yang's knowledge reserves were insufficient to complete the research and development of a new generation of chips.

"For the self-developed custom model of the new generation chip, I'm afraid Professor Zhang Dong's team won't be able to provide me with comprehensive enough knowledge. I'll have to find more experts from different fields to help me brainstorm and teach me knowledge from more areas."

"One aspect is materials, and the other is learning. These two aspects are the most important."
