Spark

Chen Nian didn't feel sorry for Zhang Rui's experience for too long——no, it should be said that this was not an encounter, but retribution.

Then there is no need to worry.

Therefore, there was not even a single turmoil in his heart, he just secretly thought that there should be many situations like him and his family in the country.

When this group of people is cleaned up, the domestic economic and financial environment can be regarded as truly on the right track.

However, this is not something you should worry about.

The group of experts represented by Chen Feiyun will deal with it.

The most important thing for me now is to cooperate with the white paper that Chen Guo gave me, to help the country, and to quickly seize the leading position in the space that the United States has given up.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's defeat, the more positions you win, the easier it will be to fight in future battles.

Where to start?

Battery? Rare earth? food?

While he was silently planning in his mind, Li Xiang on the side suddenly complained:

"By the way, have you noticed that mobile phones are getting more and more expensive now?"

"Originally, the technology is advanced, and it should be cheaper and cheaper. Guess what, I went to see the mobile phone that day, and it cost thousands of dollars!"

"A bunch of functions that I don't know what to use, as if I am being taken advantage of, I don't know what those functions are useful for"

Chen Nian was not thinking here, and when he heard what he said, he just replied casually:

"No way, Qualcomm tax."

"Qualcomm tax? What the hell?"

Li Xiang asked inexplicably.

Chen Nian suddenly came back to his senses.

He suddenly realized that there is no such thing as a Qualcomm tax these days.

After all, Qualcomm's main development now is still on base station chips.

Their business has not expanded to terminal products such as mobile phones on a large scale, because smart phones that require powerful chip performance have not yet appeared.

This is probably an opportunity.

It's April 2006, and there's still a full year to go before Apple releases its first true smartphone next year.

If our own company can seize this opportunity and release smartphones first, it is very likely that we will have the final say on the smartphone market in the future.

And, it's more than that.

For a smart device that has the most application, the largest scope of influence, and the highest popularity in the future, its long-tail effect is extremely amazing, and the benefits generated by technological fission are bound to be considerable.

Even, some small changes in it will affect the development of countless related companies.

I was still thinking about which position to choose just now, but now it seems that the smart terminal market is not an important position?

Thinking of this, Chen Nian suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and replied:

"Qualcomm is a company, they have a lot of patents, and they collect a lot of money in the field of mobile phones and communications, so the price of mobile phones is pushed up."

"This is the so-called Qualcomm tax, but it's not widely used now."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Li Xiang nodded thoughtfully, and then he asked:

"So which fields are Qualcomm's patents mainly in?"

"A lot. Including communication protocols, chips, transmission equipment...etc."

"Simply put, they can be seen in fields related to communication and intelligence."

"Oh, so that means that if we want to bring down the price of mobile phones, we have to kill Qualcomm first?"

"That's too complicated, so let's forget it. This volume, maybe it's another mountain-moving project. The mountain-moving project hasn't been finished yet, has it?"

Chen Nian frowned slightly, and then relaxed it again.

He shook his head slightly and replied:

"It's not finished."

"However, the scale of this project should not be that large."

"We just need to solve the core problems."

"As for defeating Qualcomm. Someone will take action."

After bidding farewell to Li Xiang and returning to his residence, Chen Nian immediately sat down at the table and began to prepare his next plan.

Obviously, the "core problem" Chen Nian mentioned refers to the chip.

But in fact, he still wants to go one step further and hit the lithography machine directly.

The reason is simple. According to the historical experience he gained from his previous life, in the field of chips, we are most stuck in the field of EDA and lithography machines.

EDA, on the other hand, does not involve too many "hard obstacles" in essence.

In other words, it is a direction where results can be achieved by spending money.

In the final analysis, there is only one most difficult thing, and that is the lithography machine.

After solving the problem of the lithography machine, the dilemma of the chip problem can be easily solved.

Because it can not only solve the most core chip manufacturing problems, but also serve as a kind of exchange condition in exchange for more things.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian spread out the blank paper and began to write down the judgments one by one.

Objectively speaking, in this era, the development of the domestic chip industry is extremely backward, and the prospects are slim.

Although because of Chen Nian's status as a traveler, the so-called Hanxin incident was stopped after Chen Nian gained influence, but the weak foundation still makes the development of this industry extremely slow.

A typical example is that even though SMIC has built its ninth factory, its production standards still remain at the level of 300 microns, and it has not even touched the threshold of nanometers.

Under such circumstances, if you force yourself to use a nano-level lithography machine, the likely result is:

The technology is available, but the infrastructure is insufficient and the craftsmanship is insufficient, so that researchers can only look at the blueprints and sigh.

To solve this problem, the first thing to do is to pull up the basic technology.

But the problem is that the basic industries involved in chips are too cumbersome and complicated. If we break through one by one, I don't know how much time it will take.

The best way is to use "flagship projects" to stimulate industrial development.

For a moment, Chen Nian couldn't help but fell into a conflict.

This is a complete paradox.

If you want to engage in lithography machines, you must first develop the foundation.

But to develop the foundation, the lithography machine project must exist.

He let out a long sigh and thought to himself:

Sure enough, some things related to the underlying rules can't be solved even if they are hacked.

Otherwise, just throw the problem out and let the Spark team solve it?

yes!

Why do you have to keep everything in your own hands?

If you can solve all the problems by yourself, then why do you need Spark?

The idea is clear.

A smile suddenly appeared on Chen Nian's face.

So, he turned on the system non-stop, and began to study the analytical source requirements of the lithography machine.

Now, he has 6.8 source points in his hand, which was saved with great difficulty after the last mountain-moving project drained him.

According to the prompt of the system, the source points required by the 3nm lithography machine reached 19 points.

Even if it is 5nm, it has reached 16 points.

The only thing that is within the acceptable range is the 20nm level lithography machine technology.

Only 5.2 origin points are needed.

Compared with the technology below 10nm that he was used to in his previous life, it seemed a bit inadequate, but after thinking about it, this is a lithography machine after all.

Even 20nm technology has only matured after 2014.

In 2007, the S5L8900 chip used by Apple was still at the 90nm level.

Take it out now, a full 8 years in advance, enough.

With this foundation, even if the domestic lithography machine technology has seized the opportunity, it should be able to continue to develop without continuing to analyze it by itself.

This is the most cost-effective solution.

Chen Nian calmed down for a while, and then chose to start the analysis without hesitation.

A huge amount of information flooded into his mind, and it took him a full 4 hours to absorb all the information.

Afterwards, he picked up the phone and dialed Chen Guo's number.

After the call was connected, he opened his mouth and said:

"Professor Chen, I have a big problem here, and I need your help to solve it."

"How difficult? I can't say, but I believe you can handle it."

A few days later, in an office of SMIC.

Zhang Rujin sat behind his desk, with a wry smile on his face, flipping through the documents in his hand, and asked:

"Professor Chen, the thing you brought here today won't be the same as Hanxin last time, right?"

Chen Guo, who was sitting opposite, shook her head with a smile, and replied:

"Of course not, this time it's a real good thing."

"You don't need to find the answer from me, just take a look at this technical document. I believe that you will have the answer yourself in a short time."

Hearing Chen Guo's words, Zhang Rujin reluctantly nodded and continued to read.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the question he just asked was impolite, but he couldn't help it.

Because the Hanxin incident has brought too much shadow to the domestic semiconductor industry. Although it has been stopped in time, the "scam time" that lasted for more than a year still left a deep impression on everyone.

Even some lawbreakers saw an opportunity in it, thinking that as long as they repeated the route of Hanxin, they could swindle funds like it.

Therefore, in the past few years, there have been countless swindlers who tried to defraud money with false technology, and many of them even have official backgrounds. At first glance, there are almost no flaws.

Who knows if Professor Chen in front of him is the same liar?

Although he has the endorsement of the Civil Affairs Office, the Civil Affairs Office is a newly established department after all, maybe they were also deceived.

With this in mind, Zhang Rujin quickly flipped through the document in his hand page by page, trying to find a few obvious flaws.

But until he turned to the last page, the expected flaw hadn't appeared yet.

This surprised him a little.

So, he turned the document to the first page again, and officially began to try to "read", rather than simply "browse" the document.

And when he really read the content, something even more surprising happened to him.

Not only did he not see any flaws in this document, but he found many extremely cutting-edge theories and technologies.

Moreover, these theories and techniques are only applied in a very small range.

In other words, they are not advanced enough compared to the entire document

Zhang Rujin was even more surprised, and soon, he finished reading the document for the second time.

Immediately afterwards, it was the third time.

When he finally closed the document, his eyes had completely changed.

He stood up suddenly and rushed to Chen Guo, looked at Chen Guo excitedly and said:

"Professor Chen, is this thing for us? Is it free?"

"Is this the technology output of the Civil Affairs Office? I heard that infrastructure projects also have technology output. Is it the same for us?"

Hearing his words, Chen Guo smiled slightly, and instead of answering directly, asked instead:

"Can you confirm the authenticity of the technology?"

Zhang Rujin nodded repeatedly and replied:

"I'm sure, I'm sure!"

"This thing may not be perfect, but it must not be fake!"

"If you give it to us, we guarantee that within five years, we will be able to cooperate with various departments to manufacture the lithography machine mentioned above!"

"That can't be done."

Chen Guo immediately shook her head, then continued:

"Five years is too long. If you only have this kind of efficiency, then this thing can't be given to you."

Zhang Rujin was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Are you kidding me, five years is too long?

You must know that the entire SMIC is still at the micron level in the field of chip manufacturing, and it does not have complete lithography machine production technology.

To assemble a lithography machine, most of the parts still need to be imported.

In this case, do you want to directly engage in 20nm lithography machines?

Not to mention whether the ability can keep up, even if the ability can keep up, the parts you want to buy can't be bought!

Because even the most advanced Samsung chips still use 45-nanometer lithography machines, and they are still in the laboratory stage.

In five years, I have already bluffed in order to obtain this technology.

In fact, the real plan in my heart is to get the things in my hands first, and then take it step by step.

Anyway, it’s just a procrastination, you can’t take back what you have already sent, can you?

But now, the professor Chen opposite said that five years is still a long time?

That also means that they have a clear plan for the development of this technology, and they probably won't be able to take advantage of it

Thinking of this, Zhang Rujin said:

"Professor Chen, the thing is like this."

"I also know that the development of our chip industry is urgent, but in many cases, the development of things has its own inherent laws."

"For example, the lithography machine is not something we can do just by saying it."

"Where do parts come from? How to prepare the process? How to produce equipment? How to deal with high-precision machining? These are all problems."

"It really takes time to solve the problem step by step."

"Then I don't care."

Chen Guo resolutely interrupted Zhang Rujin's words, and then said:

"This document not only includes the technology of the 20nm lithography machine, it should be said that it contains a complete set of solutions to the technical difficulties of the lithography machine."

"We can accept that you can't make 20-nanometer technology within the specified time, but at least you have to come up with next-level technology."

"For example, 90nm technology should be resolved within one year, 45nm technology within two years, and 20nm technology within three years."

"And, in the future, you will have to break through to 10 nanometers and 5 nanometers"

Zhang Rujin stared at Chen Guo dumbfounded, and after a long time, asked in an unbelievable tone:

"How to do it?"

"That's your problem."

"We will only sign an agreement with you in the form of a bet. If you are willing to take on this task, then the support of funds, resources, and talents will continue to flow."

"However, once we fail to achieve our project goals, our punishment is also very serious."

"Mr. Zhang, you have always dared to gamble, this time, do you dare to take a gamble?"

Hearing Chen Guo's words, the expression on Zhang Rujin's face suddenly became quiet.

It was as if his previous excitement and panic were all faked.

After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said:

"It's a bet."

Chen Guo nodded in satisfaction, quickly took out the document from her bag and handed it over.

He secretly thought:

Chen Nian forced Xinghuo, Xinghuo forced me, and I forced Zhang Rujin.

As for how Zhang Rujin solves this problem, it depends on his ability.

However, with Zhang Rujin's background, there is a high probability that he will attack the Yankee and that small island.

He had done this before when he founded SMIC.

Do it again now, you should be very skilled, right?

Very well, only the old beauty and the hurt world, soon to be reached.
