1991 Starting from the core

Zheng Zhenchuan's contact number came quickly, which meant that the Institute of Optics and Mechanics was indeed in considerable trouble. After preliminary negotiations, Zheng Zhenchuan and three engineers came to Yuanxin the next day.

At the same time, three electrical engineering professors, Su Xinghe, Li Gaoliang and He Yongchuan, came to Yuanxin.

Su Yuanshan called Qin Weimin, Li Mingliu and Jiang Wanchao to attend the meeting.

"Our current situation is very troublesome. There is basically no self-produced PLC (programmable logic controller) in China, and we all rely on imported supporting equipment. Although there are general-purpose programmers abroad, they are not matching, and we do not have much technical reserves. …”

Now that everyone has come to Tathagata Buddha to bring reinforcements, Zheng Zhenchuan simply stopped covering up and told the difficulties he encountered in detail - this was what his old classmate Li Gaoliang reminded him, saying that Yuanxin is a pure family. Technology-driven private companies don’t need to show any face.

He Yongchuan is a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He is also one of the first people in China to come into contact with automation equipment. He is a well-deserved expert among those present. After listening to Zheng Zhenchuan's words, He Yongchuan said: "Gong Zheng, do you think you want Yuanxin to work with us to create a programmer?"

"Hey..." Zheng Zhenchuan smiled a little sheepishly: "Of course it would be best if we could do it."

Professor He Yongchuan shook his head and looked at Su Xinghe.

Su Xinghe started to understand the PLC system after Zheng Zhenchuan's visit. It didn't matter if he didn't understand it. Once he got to know it, he realized that this thing was really not simple. Especially when it comes to high-precision program-controlled designs such as lithography machines, which seem simple and are just an assembly line for mechanical execution of instructions, the coordination must be seamless, and the slightest difference can make a huge difference.

Su Xinghe frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's difficult, but it seems like this is the only solution."

Everyone is a highly intelligent researcher, and of course they know that this is Zheng Zhenchuan's original intention - if he doesn't create a new one, then he doesn't need help at all. Everyone here, no one knows the PLC system they are tinkering with better than the Institute of Optics and Mechanics.

Su Xinghe glanced at his son and saw that he was also frowning, and his tone couldn't help but become more serious: "The microcontroller will be tape-out in about a week. The graduate students we led before participated in the entire architecture design, so they can join the embedded system." system design and development.”

"As for Yuanxin... Xiaoshan, what are your plans?" Su Xinghe finally called his son's name after speaking.

…

Su Yuanshan licked his mouth, came back from his thoughts, and then smiled: "Our advantage at Yuanxin does not lie in PLC programming languages ​​​​such as ladder diagrams and function block diagrams. Don't look at everyone calling me a programming expert. But if you ask me to stand in front of a CNC machine tool, I will be blinded. The code knows me, but I don’t know it."

Su Yuanshan's words made everyone laugh, especially the three mechanical engineers who came with Zheng Zhenchuan.

After all, there are specializations in the industry, and CNC programming and C++ programming are two completely different things. In the former, experience is more important, and the older you are, the more popular you are.

"We can design the program for inputting ladder diagram instructions, and everything will be according to your needs. Then we can also help design all the chips needed in the automation process, and everything will be according to your needs. Finally, even some drive circuits you need We can help design and improve both components and components.”

"The only question I have now is..."

Su Yuanshan said and stared at Zheng Zhenchuan.

Zheng Zhenchuan looked serious: "Please speak."

"Are the parts fully qualified? What I mean is that when the automation system does not become a bottleneck, whether the built lithography machine can be used or not is the key - to put it bluntly, what we can help with is actually more In terms of aligning the system and the entire process, we can ensure that it does not go astray and can be completed, but in the final analysis, it still depends on whether it can run after installation."

Su Yuanshan's words were undoubtedly a military order-like statement.

Zheng Zhenchuan was silent for a few seconds and then said in a deep voice: "In fact, we have done a good job in polishing the machinery and components, close to the minimum error, and we have also thoroughly understood the relevant technology. It can now be called a computer with installed hardware. , just waiting for the operating system."

"Well, Yuanxin can have thirty people here, and together with the senior fellows from the Electrical Engineering Department, there will be almost fifty people. We will fully assist you in getting this first lithography machine up and running! And..."

Su Yuanshan paused as he spoke and glanced at his father.

"And! If it can really achieve a certain yield, then this lithography machine can be put on the market. At that time, Yuanxin can jointly set up a company with the Institute of Optics and Mechanics for sales and promotion. If it cannot be sold, we Yuanxin Bought it!”

Su Xinghe met his son's gaze, knowing that this boy's ambition was finally revealed. He smiled and complemented his son.

"That's right, since you want to make it, just go straight to the market and make it! Otherwise, make it and offer it to Bodhisattvas?"

…

Then the atmosphere became much more relaxed, and everyone began to discuss the needs and cooperation for nearly a day. Finally, Yuanxin sent a chip design team headed by Li Mingliu and a programming team headed by Qu Hui, together with the Electronic Science and Technology team. The embedded system design team, three groups in total, stationed at the Institute of Optics and Mechanics the next day.

Li Mingliu returned to the office to pack his things. Su Yuanshan knocked on the door and leaned against the door. He looked at Li Mingliu who had gradually grown up with a smile: "Captain Li, our expedition team will give you a lot of trouble."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Li Mingliu stopped and smiled bitterly: "By the way, why do you want me to be the person in charge? I'm just a technician."

"Don't belittle yourself. Senior brother will do great things in the future. Yuanxin's commercial chips all depend on you - think about it, as long as electronic equipment with chips in the world has your code, Li Mingliu, what an honor it is~~ Ah!" Su Yuanshan sang an aria at the end.

"Bah! Don't treat me like Qu Hui." Li Mingliu said with a smile: "But to be honest, if the photolithography machine is really produced, will we really buy it?"

"Of course." Su Yuanshan nodded naturally: "Their technical indicators can reach up to 1.5 microns. If the chip is debugged properly, the 0.8 micron process can be made. Why not buy it? You can buy it and engrave the chip to play with it yourself."

"..." Li Mingliu was defeated by Su Yuanshan's relaxed tone: "Qin Weimin and I talked and I know you have always wanted to build a wafer fab. But in my opinion, save more money and directly introduce the most advanced wafer fab in one step. The production line, no matter how much we focus on technical research, is better than this. You have to know that the yield rate of the wafer factory is fed by orders - how can we have so much money to support those A Dou? "

Su Yuanshan was amused by Li Mingliu's description.

"How can you know if someone is Adou if you don't even give him a hand? If it doesn't work, it's like buying a big toy."

"...a big toy worth tens of millions, you are truly rich."

Su Yuanshan smiled.

Just as he is willing to spend 3 million to buy out the microcontroller, if the first lithography machine of the Institute of Optical Engineering can achieve an acceptable yield and efficiency, Su Yuanshan will naturally not mind buying it.

R\u0026D results - review and receive awards - leave them to eat ashes - continue research and development - continue to receive awards - continue to eat ashes...

This vicious cycle must be broken.

(Please give me a recommendation vote. In addition, the first chapter was blocked... I tried to correct it but it didn't pass. I had to wait 2 days before I could apply again. It really pissed me off. To be honest, I really don't understand...)
