Urban: Becoming a principal from a junior college!

In recent years, the importance of chips has been mentioned by the media.

Various domestic companies have also announced that they will develop their own chips to catch up with Europe and the United States.

But the final results are mostly a mess.

Netizens have been disappointed too many times.

Nowadays, if you hear that a company is going to make chips, the first reaction of netizens is not expectation, but suspicion whether the other party is here to cheat.

But now that Xingchen College has opened a chip major, no one will have such an idea.

Everyone will not doubt whether Xingchen College is cheating.

After all, Xingchen College has made great breakthroughs in many high-tech fields.

It is already a top giant in the world that can lift heavy objects with ease.

Such a Xingchen College, if it does not really want to make chips.

There is no need to wade into the muddy water of chips.

Therefore, Xingchen College must have made up its mind to open a chip major because of the previous ban on sales.

That means that Xingchen College is determined to win the chip industry.

I never want the development of artificial intelligence to be strangled.

Most netizens are also looking forward to Xingchen College's real success and becoming one of the leaders in the global chip industry.

Let China no longer have to endure the humiliation of being banned and blocked.

But while looking forward to it, many netizens are also a little worried.

After all, the chip industry involves too many aspects.

Even the Star Academy, which has created countless miracles, has entered this industry, which has made many netizens lack confidence.

What if even the Star Academy can't handle it.

Doesn't that mean that the domestic chip industry is really hopeless?

So for a while, the public opinion on the domestic network was mixed.

At the same time, netizens still have doubts.

That is, chips are a long industrial chain.

Involving many aspects such as lithography technology, chip design, architecture design, chip manufacturing, etc.

These are the shortcomings of China.

Can Star Academy really overcome this difficulty with only one major?

But when they saw the number of students enrolled in the chip major of Star Academy.

Netizens were shocked.

The first reaction was that they were too excited and dazzled, and they saw an extra zero.

But when they looked more carefully, they found that their eyes were not dazzled.

The chip major of Star Academy will enroll 10,000 people in the first session alone.

There are sub-disciplines classified below.

For example, optics, electronic information, materials science, mechanics, chip design, circuits and many other disciplines.

Looking at these various sub-disciplines, netizens are really shocked.

Because these sub-disciplines are too wide.

Almost all the main node requirements of chip manufacturing are included.

For example, to make a lithography machine, you need talents in optics, electronic information, materials science, and mechanics.

With a lithography machine, you also need a framework.

For example, the existing mainstream architectures are x86 and ARM.

This is the foundation of the chip.

After having the framework, you still need to design the chip.

Excellent design can make the performance, energy consumption and many other aspects of the architecture advance by leaps and bounds.

And look at these majors of Xingchen Academy.

It is obvious that the entire chip industry is going to be swept away.

From the source of manufacturing lithography machines to the final design and production of chips.

This ambition is too big!

The step is too big.

Is this really something that a college can do?

Many Chinese people have doubts.

But more people choose to believe in Xingchen Academy unconditionally because of the miracles Xingchen Academy has created before.

They look forward to what changes the first batch of graduates of Xingchen Chip Major can bring to their own chip industry after graduation.

It can be said that Xingchen Academy has too much influence.

Now it is just the news of opening a chip major that has been confirmed.

The stock prices of domestic chip-related companies are all rising.

Chip concept stocks are rising even more.

And Huayao Company, whose mobile communication business has been severely damaged by sanctions, has also been expected by the market again.

It is believed that when Xingchen Academy has developed the domestic chip industry.

Huayao Company will definitely be able to take advantage of this favorable wind to return to its former position in the mobile phone market.

But the movement caused by Xingchen Academy is not only a shock in China.

The news was also spread abroad at the first time, causing an uproar.

Ordinary people abroad do not have any sense of crisis or threat when they see the news.

Many people are born to dislike big capital, or are born to be rebellious.

They even began to mock their own technology companies.

"I told you not to let Xingchen Academy develop artificial intelligence. Look, they are now making their own chips. In a few years, they won't need yours."

"If it was any other Chinese technology company, I think it would be fine, but Xingchen Academy is a bit scary. They have never failed. I suggest that all chip blockades on all Chinese companies be stopped immediately, so that they can buy high-end chips. This may make Xingchen Academy give up the idea of ​​making chips."

"Did Huang Weida make a lot of money selling graphics cards some time ago? Now that Xingchen Academy is here, he will definitely have to spit it out after a while. I suggest you lower the price quickly to seize the market."

"Tsk tsk, it's a good thing that Xingchen Academy has entered the chip industry. Maybe it can force Intel to not dare to squeeze toothpaste in the future."

"..."

Foreign netizens made all kinds of jokes.

They have no opinion on Xingchen Academy. After all, Xingchen Academy has a good reputation.

So at this moment, they are making fun of their own companies, and they are making fun of them with great enthusiasm.

However, the giants of the major chip industries, looking at the relevant news about the Star Chip Professional, do not pay as much attention as netizens imagine.

Just like the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts see the doorway.

Only they can truly understand how complicated the technology of the chip industry is.

The lithography machine giant ASML company cannot make chips on its own.

ASML's shareholders are chip-related giants from almost all countries in the entire industry chain.

It is because they each use countless high-tech technologies to manufacture various high-precision accessories and cooperate with each other that ASML has become a lithography machine giant and manufactured top-level lithography machines.

No giant alone can make a top-level lithography machine.

The difficulty of making a top-level lithography machine can be imagined.

And this is just the difficulty of making a lithography machine.

Designing chips and manufacturing chips are also difficult.

For example, the mobile chip giant Gaotong Company.

Several chips have also overturned in design, with explosive energy consumption, directly becoming a fire dragon, and they are terribly hot when used casually.

Manufacturing is not that simple either.

For example, Sanxing is also a world-class chip giant.

But when manufacturing the latest chip designed for its own mobile phone, the yield rate is 0.

It lost hundreds of billions at once.

In the end, only high-end chips can be used.

Even such a giant will fail, and the loss is hundreds of billions or trillions.

And what about Xingchen Academy?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a foolish dream to want to cultivate talents for the entire industry chain.

After all, these top giants will fail when they delve into a certain field of the chip industry.

A certain generation of chips will heat up seriously at any time.

There are problems with the design of a certain generation of manufacturing process, and the yield rate is low.

In this case, it is simply a foolish dream for Xingchen Academy to successfully enter the chip industry.

Twenty years later, if Xingchen Academy can manufacture chips at their current level, it will be considered that Xingchen Academy is awesome.

So there is no need to worry at all.

And because they all know that Xingchen Academy was determined to open its own chip major and cultivate talents because of the previous ban on sales.

But Xingchen Academy is too arrogant.

There is no awe for technology.

So many top CEOs couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks: "I suggest that Xingchen College open an engraving major, then buy our chips back, erase the logo, and then put the Xingchen College logo on them. This is the fastest way to succeed."

"Is Xingchen College planning to fight the global chip industry on its own? It's really a heroic hero, but unfortunately it's destined to be a tragic hero."

"I suggest that the money Xingchen College uses to open a chip major should be used to purchase our AI processor chips. We are having a discount recently..."

"I'm 55 years old this year. I hope that before I die, I can use the high-end chips produced by Xingchen College..."

"A photolithography machine requires the products of hundreds of giants in various fields around the world to be made. Now an academy actually wants to do it on its own. I can only say that this dream is great, just like Ma's idea of ​​moving to Mars, which makes people look forward to it."

The ridicule of these CEOs has caused a lot of discussion on the Internet.

But most of the people's reactions are in agreement.

After all, Xingchen College opened a chip major that can accommodate 10,000 people at once, which was a big move, as if it was going to connect the entire chip industry.

But this approach really underestimated the difficulty of chip technology.

And the stock markets of various countries did not cause any turmoil because of the news that Xingchen College was going to open a chip major.

In fact, Xingchen College's actions helped them attract more investors.

The stock prices of these chip giants have risen a lot.

...

Domestic netizens are naturally very dissatisfied with this.

But many domestic experts have also stood up and explained the situation of the chip industry in detail to netizens.

"It's not that easy for Xingchen Academy to break through in the chip industry."

"Xingchen Academy was smooth sailing in the past because it was unique and had basically no competitors in the same industry. It was all dimensionality reduction attacks."

"Naturally, no one is the opponent of Xingchen Academy."

"But the chip industry this time is different. There has long been a group of giants entrenched in the chip industry."

"These giants seem to compete with each other, but in fact, there is a chain of cooperation behind them, and sometimes they can even be regarded as a whole."

"And today's chip development has already approached the limit of Moore's Law."

"Xingchen Academy has been built from scratch, not to mention how many years it will take to catch up with the other party's decades of accumulation."

"Even if Xingchen Academy really creates a miracle , and soon caught up. "

"What if the other party dumps? What if they want to kill you regardless of the cost?"

"This is a common routine used by foreign companies against new competitors."

"When you don't have it, they sell it to you at a high price. When you make it yourself, the other party will immediately use a low price to hit the market, so that you can't recover the cost of your investment and die directly..."

"Countless companies have been killed in this way."

"And chips are even more cost-intensive industries."

"A production line may cost tens of billions or tens of billions, and a factory will cost hundreds of billions."

"Even if Xingchen Academy develops technology, it will be an astronomical figure to put it into production, not to mention that Xingchen Academy is also engaged in the entire industrial chain, which will be an unimaginable figure."

"With such a huge production cost, if the other party stops imposing sanctions and directly dumps products after Xingchen Academy is built."

"The other party has first-mover advantage, technical advantage, and brand advantage, and is now engaged in a price war. What can Xingchen Academy use to fight against the other party?"

"One assembly line costs 10 billion, and the other party has already made money back with the assembly line. Even if a chip costs 10 yuan, the other party can break even."

"But what about Xingchen Academy? It has just been established. If it follows the price war, the investment will not be recovered at all, and it will go bankrupt directly."

"If it doesn't follow, the other party will sell cheaper and have a higher level of technology. Why shouldn't customers buy the opponent's products? The capital market can't rely on sentiment, right?"

"And this is still the situation where Xingchen Academy can keep up with the other party's technology."

"If Xingchen Academy The technology of the academy is far behind the other party, so it will be easier for the other party to suppress Xingchen Academy. "

"But Xingchen Academy has to take its time. It is impossible to make 5nm and 3nm chips all at once, right?"

"If it can really do it, then Xingchen Academy will be a god."

"So, Xingchen Academy is now facing a dead end."

"I am not optimistic about the future of Xingchen Academy in the chip industry."

"Xingchen Academy has taken too big a step. If Xingchen Academy can stop at the brink and temporarily specialize in one area, it may develop slowly..."

"For example, focus on cultivating optical technology talents and developing its own photolithography machine."

"Wait until the photolithography machine technology is improved, and then open other majors."

"Only in this way can there be a possibility of success."

The expert's words are well-founded.

The netizens who were originally looking forward to Xingchen Academy were silent.

Indeed, it is difficult for Xingchen Academy to achieve success overnight.

But if it cannot achieve success overnight, it will inevitably face suppression in the future.

Foreign capital is really familiar with suppression.

If Xingchen College develops in the entire chip industry chain, it is equivalent to being suppressed by the entire industry.

This difficulty is too high.

Not to mention that the premise of everything is that Xingchen College can really cultivate excellent talents.

In summary.

The chances of Xingchen College to succeed in the chip industry seem to be very slim.

Most netizens have become rational.

The chip market, which was briefly hot because Xingchen College opened a chip major, has now returned to a cooling-off period.

The rising stock prices of various companies have fallen back.

Chip concept stocks have returned to their original lows, and even fell a lot more than before.

After all, if even Xingchen College, which has created countless miracles, enters the game, it will be difficult to pull up China's chip industry.

Then, isn't it really difficult for China's chip industry to break through the blockade and compete with foreign countries?

Most citizens therefore have lowered their confidence in China's chip industry.

Without confidence, stock prices will naturally fall.

And countless college entrance examination graduates who originally saw Xingchen College opening a chip major and were excited to apply for it.

At this moment, I hesitated because of public opinion... (End of this chapter)
