Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

In November, the results of 101 Institute broke out. The most dazzling one was the successful development of EDA software version 1.0, which passed the internal acceptance of 101 Institute.

At this time, Candensher Computer-Aided Design Software Company, one of the three giants of EDA software in the world, could not yet produce a commercially available finished product.

Synops was just established last year and is still exploring how to develop the company.

As for the veteran Vilion company, its products are still limited to second-generation workstation products. They are intoxicated in a closed pyramid and cannot extricate themselves.

An inconspicuous part of the news section of Lucheng Evening News announced a piece of news: Hui Province Xintu Company has developed the world's first computer-aided chip design EDA software that integrates front-end logic design and end-end physical design.

When most Chinese people still don't know what EDA software is, the domestic semiconductor industry and academia exploded.

The news also spread abroad as soon as possible. Many arrogant Westerners thought it was a trick of the Chinese to deceive themselves and others. Of course, there were also pragmatic people who applied for visas as soon as possible and came to China to find out the truth.

As for Xintu EDA Software Company, it is a company that has just been established for one day and does not have an independent office space. 101 holds 100% of the property rights.

When the news was announced, the Science and Technology Commission took it very seriously and immediately organized experts from 37 universities and research institutes to go to Lucheng for investigation. The General Staff, National Defense Working Commission, Planning Commission and other departments also sent leaders and experts to participate.

On November 17, more than a hundred people gathered in the EDA laboratory of 101 Institute. In full view of everyone, Chief Engineer Xu Guangyuan simulated a simple scientific computing chip, from idea to logic simulation, to physical diagram verification, and to Finally, the entire project generates chip drawings and a complete set of mask drawings.

"It's incredible. Can we directly manufacture chips using this drawing?"

“This is the first time I feel that designing a chip is so easy!”

From the formulation of requirements to the design of module architecture, in the end, computers are basically doing all the calculations.

Xu Guangyuan explained: “In the past, the time required to design a chip was measured in years, but using our EDA software to design chips, less complex chips can be measured in days, and the generated mask drawings can be directly Using a laser printer to print masks eliminates the need to manually engrave masks as before, saving a hundred times the time!”

Professor Liang Dingying from the School of Microelectronics of Harbin University asked: "Mr. Xu, what is the maximum size of integrated circuits that your EDA software can design?"

Xu Guangyuan said with a smile: "Limited by the capabilities of our computers, we can only calculate the chip size of one million transistors. The size of transistors that can be designed by Xintu EDA software is directly proportional to the computer's computing power!"

real or fake?

"Can your EDA software be installed on other computers?"

"As long as there is a C language compiler and an operating system program interface, it can be installed on any computer!"

This was Director Liu Qing's first visit to Institute 101, and Zhao Guoqing accompanied him in the audience.

Director Liu was very interested and said: "Three years ago, I remember you talked about computer-aided design chip software. Is this what you were talking about?"

Ji Hongbo continued: "I told you in the drawing room of AVIC. I was still wondering at the time. This young man has such a strong voice. Director Gao, you were there at the time. To be honest, what did you think at the time?"

Gao Changming has been numb for a long time. Assistant Zhao never said what he said.

"I have always believed in National Day. I believed it at the beginning and I still believe it now!"

By this time, the only one who could always call Zhao Guoqing was Director Gao. Even when Director Liu Qing called Zhao Guoqing, he would also call him Director Zhao or Chief Engineer Zhao.

"Director Zhao, if this technology is announced, will it have a bad impact, or will foreign countries steal our technology?"

Zhao Guoqing laughed when he heard this and said: "Director Liu, you are thinking too much. There are hundreds of companies engaged in EDA software abroad, but they all specialize in front-end design, or specialize in back-end design, or even one of the functions. , they haven’t integrated it yet, unlike us, which synthesized a full set of technologies from the beginning. Their chip design company needs to buy a lot of software to complete a design, but it’s not that they can’t do it technically. Now they only need to buy one of our EDA design software is enough..."

Director Liu Qing was surprised and said, "You want to sell the software to foreigners?"

It’s so funny, EDA software has been developed, can you just play it at home?

Zhao Guoqing said: "Xintu EDA software will not only be sold to foreigners, but we will also open a branch research center in the United States..."

Director Liu Qing looked at Zhao Guoqing with confusion. He found it difficult to follow Zhao Guoqing's thinking.

If EDA software is to be exported, it naturally requires the permission of the General Staff. Comrade Zhao Guoqing patiently explained to Director Liu.

Zhao Guoqing said: "Director Liu, if Xintu EDA software wants to stay ahead, it must go global. The current EDA software market in the West is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in history. In addition to the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, there is another Two hundred small vassal states..."

"..."

Zhao Guoqing simulated the action of eating and continued: "Xintu EDA is Daqin among the seven heroes. We first ate Noma Company, which specializes in front-end design, and then Dennuer Company, which specializes in physical design. The same business Our company also eats, let’s eat, eat, eat all the way, Director Liu, what do you think will happen in the end?”

Director Liu Qing opened his mouth and said: "Has Xintu unified the world? Is there only one Qin Shihuang left in the world?"

Teacher Xiao Zhao nodded, but secretly complained in his heart, not to mention that the West has anti-monopoly laws, how could the United States allow EDA software, a strategic killer, to be in the hands of China and become one of the three giants by then? It's already pretty good.

But in order to prevent the General Staff from objecting, Teacher Xiao Zhao continued: "In case the United States sanctions us..."

Zhao Guoqing put his hand on his neck and pinched it. This action made Director Liu Qing's eyes jump.

"We won't let them use our software and let them feel the pain of sanctions..."

"call!"

Teacher Xiao Zhao spent so much on the pie that Director Liu swallowed hard and said, "Can you do that?"

The fish took the bait. Zhao Guoqing nodded firmly and said, "Director Liu, it will cost money to annex the company. I have no other requirements. I want half of the foreign exchange balance for light-emitting semiconductors!"

Jinxin International Company can earn two to three billion U.S. dollars a year, which is increasing every year. Zhao Guoqing's half of this is more than one hundred million U.S. dollars.

Director Liu felt that his heart could not bear it, but compared with the beautiful prospects, this more than one hundred million did not seem to be much.

"Okay, I'll report this matter, Director Zhao, come on!"

"come on!"

I felt a little better yesterday, but I'm not in good condition again today. I'm dizzy. I've been sleeping all day. I'm typing Chapter 3. No need to wait. I'm afraid I fell asleep while typing. I haven't corrected the previous typos. I'll wait until I get better. Yes, unified changes.
