Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

Zhao Guoqing had no reason to refuse since he could obtain the human resources and funds from Institute 503 of the Academy of Sciences.

"Chief Engineer Liang, our 101st Institute is currently conducting some research in the civilian field. We have a project now, a program-controlled telephone exchange. What do you think?"

Liang Zhujin said in surprise: "On National Day, have you started making program-controlled telephone exchanges? Do you know about Hucheng Bell Company?"

"You know, it's a joint venture with Belgium. It caused quite a stir when it was established last year!"

Liang Zhujin didn’t understand. He knew why he was doing it.

"National Day, this is a key national demonstration project. China Post and Shanghai State-owned Assets Investment Co., Ltd. have invested a lot. If they don't make it, if you do it here, I'm afraid it won't be very good!"

"..."

Lao Liang's ideas are always original. I don't know how he was rated as chief engineer. His thinking is different from that of people engaged in scientific research.

"General Master Liang, there is no reason why we can't study it after they have studied it!"

"On National Day, research is allowed, but there is no need to offend anyone. Bell Company has more than 20 Belgian experts, and we only have 20 experts, and their levels are not low!"

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and said, "Okay, Chief Liang, that's it!"

"..."

Liang Zhujin felt that if the 503 Institute rejected Zhao Guoqing's olive branch this time, there would be no chance of another opportunity. It was the lesser of two evils, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take this move.

"On National Day, we 503 will participate in this project..."

…………

On the third floor of the University of Science and Technology of China library, Professor Zhou never closed his mouth as soon as he entered the workplace of Institute 101.

There was no fancy welcome ceremony here, and except for the students here who knew him, no one else paid attention to him.

During the period of time, these researchers from the 101 Institute had experienced a lot of "visits", including leaders of all sizes.

"Professor Zhou, this is our programming department. There are two groups. One group chooses C language to compile system programs, and the second group compiles C language compiler programs for specific hardware codes."

"This is our chip design department, which also includes two departments!"

Professor Zhou finally saw what he wanted to see.

"You use Chinese characters as the hardware description language?"

How incredible!

Xu Ming explained: "Director Zhao originally wanted to use English, but there are too few people here who understand English. In the future, the input into the computer may be in English, or the grammar may be in Pinyin. It has not been decided yet!"

"It's just a process tool in design now, and it doesn't involve computer applications yet."

This is incredible!

"Whoever came up with this idea is really a genius!"

Professor Zhou saw that the physical design team used the chip description language to implement circuits on the drawings!

"How? Is there no alternative circuit?"

Xu Ming picked up a reference book on the table.

"The best models and circuits corresponding to each piece of language are recorded. The circuits in this reference book are shelf technology and can be used directly. Of course, with the advancement of technology, our shelf circuits are constantly updated!"

“Shelf technology is interesting!”

"We now have a dedicated group that inputs these circuits into the computer to form a library that serves as a parsing library for the hardware description language!"

Professor Zhou frowned. Even though he had been working on circuits for many years, he still couldn't figure out how to input the circuit into the computer.

Xu Ming took Professor Zhou to a computer and demonstrated directly on the spot.

"We use arrays to represent various types of transistors. The first number indicates the transistor type. Each type has a specific library and voltage data. Numbers two to eight correspond to the input and output connecting lines. Thirteen is the simulation test. data……"

When Xu Ming said this, Professor Zhou understood immediately.

"After your logic circuit is input into the computer, the corresponding diagram is not unique!"

"The picture is unique, but the wiring is not unique, and the location is not unique either. This involves computer wiring settings!"

"The same is the array setting, for example, 10,000 transistors, create a 100x100 array on the computer, and put each transistor number into the array..."

The principle is clearly explained, that is, large arrays are nested within small arrays, and the relationships between the arrays are given physical meanings. The so-called logical test is to change the data given physical meanings to any array. Can we get the data associated in the design with this? .

This is the principle of EDA software. The core is the physical definition given, which requires a large amount of experiments to demonstrate the data, because it involves the physical properties of transistors of each size.

The core of the core is the library material circuit composed of various logic gate circuits.

Zhou Wenquan is already numb. He can foresee that once this computer technology is developed, it will greatly simplify the difficulty of chip design.

"Assistant Xu, do you think I can study here?"

"..."

Zhou Wenquan stayed in No. 101 for more than three hours before Teacher Xiao Zhao came back.

Xu Ming cannot be the boss of a great professor, but Zhao Guoqing can.

Zhao Guoqing was not surprised when Zhou Wenquan mentioned that he was studying in Institute 101.

Domestic scientists do not understand EDA, not because their professionalism is insufficient. In fact, many people also have a deep understanding of integrated circuits.

It just lacks some vision and is far out of touch with the earth-shaking computer technology in the world.

But when they master this tool, the results are completely different.

"Professor Zhou, the background of our establishment is that our 101 Institute is close to HKUST. 101 Institute is very willing to carry out in-depth cooperation with HKUST!"

"Director Zhao, do you agree?"

Zhao Guoqing nodded, EDA software will speed up the progress. If the US$10 million is approved, the lithography machine will definitely be the big one. The technical level of the lithography machine now is far worse than that of forty years ago, and the price can be as low as hundreds of thousands of dollars. It can cost up to one to two million US dollars, and you need to buy at least five units first, and you also need to buy two corresponding laser mask printers.

Manufacturing this area can basically solve a certain production capacity.

This puts higher requirements on design.

"Professor Zhou, the library of EDA software still needs to be greatly enriched. We 101 will cooperate with major university research institutes, and HKUST is definitely our first choice."

…

Since arriving in Lucheng, Zhao Guoqing feels that things are getting smoother and smoother, and of course he has a lot more chores to do.

The General Staff sent a document asking Zhao Guoqing to choose between Institute 101 or Institute 14 to apply for foreign exchange use. Zhao Guoqing called Director Gao for advice.

"National Day, what do you think?"

"Director Gao, I think we should let Institute 14 apply and put the equipment under Institute 101. We can tell Lucheng that Institute 14 will invest 10 million US dollars and take more shares. What do you think?"

Institute 101 is the director himself, so he can rest assured that the things will be in his own hands. Otherwise, if it is placed in Institute 14, any decision-making would require a team meeting and even report to Chengdu Aircraft Headquarters for approval, which would be too troublesome.

Moreover, the 14 companies are not losing money. The shares have increased, the income has also increased, and there can be a steady flow of cash flow.

Gao Changming shook his head and said: "On National Day, it's better to apply from School 101!"

"..."

Zhao Guoqing was confused, and Gao Changming explained: "If the 14 institutes apply for 10 million in foreign exchange, Chengdu Aircraft will definitely keep an eye on it. Which one is not short of foreign exchange now? If someone really says hello, we will not be able to refuse... …”
