    While Guan Fei was hosting the OEM negotiation meeting, over in Tokyo, some counterfeit manufacturers, like their counterparts in Hong Kong, were trying to dismantle and analyze "Space Invaders" in preparation for copying.  There is no way, money and silk are so attractive!  The price of "Space Invaders" in Hong Kong is HK$9,800, or 45,000 yen.  But after being shipped to Japan and adding a 4.7% tariff, the price reached 4.24 million yen.  In this regard, Tokyo Trading also stated that they actually suffered a loss.  Because Taiyu Technology has not yet calculated shipping costs, land transportation costs, terminal loading and unloading costs, warehousing costs, and agent profit commissions.  According to actual calculations, although the price of "Space Invaders" in Japan is higher than that in Hong Kong, the profit has been reduced by a large amount, with each unit losing at least nearly hundreds of thousands of yen.  ??This kind of weird logic can only be accepted with a smile by the rush-buyers.  Why?  Because this is an exclusive operation, if you think it¡¯s too expensive, don¡¯t buy it. People are lining up to buy it!  Whether it was from Yamada or from insiders in Tokyo Trading, it was confirmed that they were reluctant to sign orders and had dull expressions when receiving advance payments in the past two days.  I heard that after two days, the number of units that have been paid in advance has exceeded 9,000 units, and this number is still growing rapidly.  Seeing the money-grabbing income situation of arcade halls, and seeing that other stores that have paid advance payments have begun leasing venues and preparing to open, many merchants who still want to wait and see can't help it anymore, so they also open their wallets and head to Tokyo crazily.  Put money in the business account. ? ?This is just one place in the Tokyo area!  This pie is so big that even some old game console manufacturers can¡¯t help but want to grab it and take a bite!  At the rate at which this trend is spreading, this game may not be able to sell hundreds of thousands of units!  (Historical fact: more than 500,000 units, half of which are genuine and pirated) The total revenue will be as high as tens of billions of yen. If including arcade operating income, the income of related industries will exceed 200 billion yen.  Damn it, I¡¯m not afraid of dying!  Countless Japanese manufacturers have bloodshot eyes and are desperately trying to crack the "Space Invaders" arcade machine, preparing to launch their pirated arcade machines and take a bite out of this pie.  Japan is a very sophisticated nation.  They lack a long-term, overall strategic perspective, but they can always strive for excellence and do their best in what is in front of them.  This is something that many big countries that need to focus on more areas are unable to do because they are distracted.  In the process of dismantling "Space Invaders", they did it more meticulously and carefully than their Hong Kong counterparts.  At the beginning, we did not disassemble the phone right away, but took photos first. The front, sides, back, and even the top cover were all taken strictly to keep the background.  ?Then comes the measurement. Every specific data of it, such as length, width, height, and even the thickness of the board and the material used, are all recorded and the rationale is analyzed.  There are also technical staff who conduct detailed demonstrations and write a thick stack of technical reports.  In this process, they gained more than their Hong Kong counterparts.  "Taiyu Technology is a large company with strong strength. They are definitely not a small factory with hundreds of people on the surface. There must be a very strong technical team behind them to support it! Its scope is not only the electronics industry, but also  Including ergonomics, psychology and other humanities fields. "Technicians from many companies have similar comments in the reports submitted to them.  The cracking work was carried out slowly but smoothly. Each part was numbered in sequence, disassembled and carefully placed aside.  The drawings produced were immediately handed over to the factory, where replicas were made.  After the circuit board was photographed, the circuit diagram was drawn, and the parameters and models of various components were repeatedly determined before the technicians began to dismantle the components.  When they saw this circuit board, during the surveying and mapping process, the technicians also conducted simulation analysis on the circuit diagram driven by habit.  They were horrified to find that although they considered themselves to be experts, they were actually a little in awe when faced with this circuit board.     so perfect!  Whether it is the circuit layout, wiring, or component arrangement, they have reached what they believe to be the theoretical limit. It can be said to be a perfect work.  If they were asked to redesign the circuit diagram to avoid copyright disputes, they couldn't find anything they could modify.  If you really want to modify it, it will inevitably weaken the electrical indicators, there is no doubt about it!  What they can do is complete plagiarism without any changes!  This makes them extremely frustrated.  But no matter how frustrated you are, you can only continue to do it. What the company wants is profits.  With enough profit inducementNow, they can ignore the law and abandon morality. Whether they are dedicated pirates or genuine arcade operators, they are all doing the same thing at the moment.  "Let's get started!" In a highly clean laboratory that was far larger than the technical department of Hong Kong Qingyue Entertainment Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a technical supervisor wearing a suit said to his subordinates.  "Hi! Then I'll get started!" The technician inserted the memory into the reader/writer. This reader/writer is also more precise and reliable than similar products on the market.  Turn on the power and read the data.  Poof!  Smoke is rising and the chip is burned out.  "Nani?" The technician screamed, and he quickly understood it faster than his Hong Kong colleagues: "This chip has been encrypted!" European and American manufacturers attach great importance to intellectual property rights, but they also know that  As long as there are enough benefits, not even the guillotine can stop people from trying to seize benefits that are not allowed by law.  In order to protect their own interests, piracy and anti-piracy have launched a protracted war.  Corresponding encryption devices are added to the data chips they produce.  A data chip usually contains two parts: a control system and a data storage system.  The former is the key, which determines the data reading method, current size, data interpretation and other general settings, as well as an encryption setting.  After the chip is encrypted, a key is required to read the data. If there is no key or the key is wrong, the chip will load a high voltage on a special fuse and fuse the circuit.  Once the fuse blows, the data reader can no longer extract data from it.  If that¡¯s all, that¡¯s it, because chips are always produced in batches, and their key storage areas are also fixed.  As long as there is a means to shield or directly erase the data in this area, the blown fuse program will not be started again.  But technicians discovered that this is the latest memory chip launched in the United States. Its circuit technology data has not been cracked, so the specific storage area of ??its key is not clear.  To understand the storage area, you need to grind through the chip casing, observe its internal circuit through an electron microscope, and then analyze it to locate it.     idiot!  With this spare time, what else can we do to crack the key? Wouldn¡¯t it be faster to conduct data analysis directly based on the exposed circuits?  The technicians were a little confused.  To be honest, Japan¡¯s electronic reverse engineering capabilities are not strong, at least not as strong as those of the United States, China, and the Soviet Union.  The three major countries each occupy a corner and are hostile to each other and blockade each other.  In order to understand the current technological development status of their opponents and the design ideas of some high-precision chips, the three major countries have invested huge manpower and material resources in reverse engineering research.  ¡°But Japan is different.  In order to support it in confronting the Soviet Union, the United States gave it the greatest advantage.  As long as it is not military technology, Japan can easily introduce any civilian technology, including the most cutting-edge chip manufacturing technology, from all over the world. They can buy any high-precision equipment.  Who would do reverse engineering when you have the original drawings? Isn¡¯t this just taking off your pants and farting? It¡¯s unnecessary!  The technicians and electronic engineers hired by various manufacturers with huge sums of money are a bit numb.  After each company burned N data chips, they finally determined that they could not handle this thing. Unless they opened the shell and observed it with an electron microscope, they could not read the data in the chip.  Every company is confused and angry.  The consciences of these bastards like Taiyu Technology are really bad, making them restless and unable to make decisions.  The first step in reverse engineering a chip is to remove the casing.  This shell is very thin, and for heat dissipation, it is glued to the core. If you are not careful when opening it, the internal circuit will be damaged.  This is just the first step. Next, you need to use an ion machine to remove the glue on the surface. This is a more subtle operation. It is not like polishing other things, which can be done in a while.  This process will be quite long, and if you are not careful, you will also damage the kernel, and all the previous work will be in vain.  That¡¯s okay, but the chip has more than one layer!  Circuits are made layer by layer. When you polish off one layer, you have to use an electron microscope to see every tiny circuit clearly, and then draw the circuit diagram by hand.  Next, remove another layer and do it again. This work can be said to be quite painful, and the failure rate is also quite high.  After finishing, we still need to analyze!  During the chip manufacturing process, not all original components and circuits are guaranteed to be successful, there will always be defects and damaged parts.  In order to ensure that the chip can be used, a certain amount of redundancy will be set up.  Post-mortemAnalysis is to find out unnecessary and redundant circuits in the circuit, and finally analyze the correct circuit diagram. ?? Okay, even if all this is completed extremely smoothly, they still need to make masks and film!  If this is done, it can be completed in three months at the earliest, or it may not be completed in half a year or even a year.  "Space Invaders" is good, but no one knows how long it will last.  It¡¯s hot now, will it still be as hot six months later?  What if, after spending so much money and finally getting their own arcade machine, "Space Invaders" is no longer popular?  Hundreds of companies are struggling with whether to carry out reverse engineering.  Countless company decision-makers and technicians roared like this: "Where have the once simple Chinese people gone? Why have they also learned bad things!"
