Analog company starts with technology

After confirming that Niu Geng had not misremembered the value, Yang Wenmao was in a state of confusion. He did not expect Niu Geng to solve such a big problem for him as soon as he came up.

The high-end chip manufacturing technology currently mastered by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is indeed at the world's advanced level, capable of producing 5-nanometer precision chips, and is also moving towards 3-nanometer technology, but for the 1-nanometer level, it can only Describe it in four words.

Out of reach.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that according to the current research progress in the hospital, even with Xing Ling's assistance, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in a short time.

If you are unlucky, you may be stuck for several years.

In addition, Yang Wenmao was still puzzled as to why Niu Geng suddenly wanted such a high-precision chip, so he subconsciously asked: "Mr. Niu, as far as I know, the performance of the Tianxin series chips designed by your company can already meet product needs, and Why do we suddenly raise such high standards when we are in a leading position in the world?”

"I won't hide it from you either."

Niu Geng said truthfully: "Recently, Xingyao is preparing to develop a new product, which requires a higher-precision chip, so I had to ask Dean Yang for help."

New product?

Hearing this, Yang Wenmao's heart moved: "It seems that Niu is always going to make a big move again. I wonder if you can reveal some news to me first?"

"Where did such a big move come from? It's just a normal product update. Moreover, without your chip support, this project would probably have been stillborn and forced to be shelved."

Niu Geng said modestly and brought the topic to the chip issue again.

This time I came to the Imperial Capital from Jingzhou City mainly to solve the problem of chips needed for personal smart terminals. Even if I know it is difficult, I must try my best to solve it. Otherwise, all the preliminary efforts made by Lin Wan and the entire Xingyao will be in vain. will be in vain.

more importantly.

Since he agreed to the project proposed by Lin Wan, he would definitely do everything possible to realize it.

Yang Wenmao naturally understood the meaning of Niu Geng's words, and a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. It can be seen that this matter is still quite difficult for the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After almost half a minute of silence, Yang Wenmaocai seemed to have made a decision and asked in a deep voice: "How long is left for us?"

"This chip is currently under design. As for the launch time of the official product, the company hopes to be in the spring of next year."

"Too short." Yang Wenmao shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, he then solemnly explained: "After the chip manufacturing process reaches the current stage, every improvement will become extremely difficult. If we at the Chinese Academy of Sciences are given enough time, we may be able to conquer the 1-nanometer chip manufacturing technology. , but if it is to be launched next spring, it is simply impossible to do it.”

"In my opinion, Mr. Niu should postpone this project for the time being. Maybe it will be more appropriate to wait a few years."

Faced with Yang Wenmao's kind reminder, although it sounded very reasonable, how could Niu Geng back down from what he decided to do just because of a little difficulty.

Faced with the chip restriction issue caused by WeiRuan, if Starsource Technology had chosen to accept WeiRuan's cooperation, it might still be impossible for China to master complete high-end chip manufacturing technology.

So he could only choose to face the difficulties.

Besides, how could Niu Geng not have thought of this result before coming to the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Since he has made this choice, he must have certain plans and plans.

It can ensure that the Chinese Academy of Sciences can complete a milestone breakthrough in high-end chip manufacturing technology.

So at this time, Niu Geng was no longer hiding, and immediately expressed his inner plan: "Does President Yang have no confidence in all the scientific researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences? What if our research center is added? "

"Mr. Niu, you mean..."

Yang Wenmao was slightly excited.

"That's right."

"If the Chinese Academy of Sciences alone cannot make breakthroughs in high-end chip manufacturing technology in a short period of time, then adding a research center, I believe that with the power of two of the world's top scientific research institutions, we can definitely speed up the improvement of high-end chip manufacturing technology. This way Even if it still fails in the end, it will leave experience to the industry and lay the foundation for the next research."

As Niu Geng talked, Yang Wenmao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was obviously completely moved.

Yang Wenmao is very clear about the level of the Xingyuan Science and Technology Research Center. He knows that the scientific researchers inside are the world's top talents, and some of them are poached from overseas experimental institutions. In terms of average level, it may be higher than that of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Out a lot.

The cooperation between the two institutions to develop more advanced high-end chip manufacturing technology will undoubtedly be even more powerful, and the efficiency in all aspects will be much faster.

What's more, as Niu Geng said, even if it ends in failure, the experience of this cooperation will be very valuable to scientific researchers.

No matter how you look at it, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is definitely making money without losing money.

Another point.

During this period of time, during the use of Xingling in various research projects, everyone has a feeling that they are still not satisfied, as if the full strength of Xingling has not been used at all.

At the same time, good news comes frequently from the research center of Xingyuan Technology. Even the microwave wireless charging technology has been solved in a short time. Combining the two points, you can think of something. Perhaps Xingling is more efficient in the case of remote access. It will be slightly worse.

If this is indeed the case, the cooperation between the two institutions may really make high-end chip manufacturing technology a step further.

Think of this.

Yang Wenmao immediately responded: "Then do as Mr. Niu said. I agree to this cooperation on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"That's it. I will send researchers from the research center to contact the Chinese Academy of Sciences on specific matters and strive to start work as soon as possible."

"We will fully cooperate."

Finally reaching an agreement, Niu Geng and Yang Wenmao stood up, shook hands, and smiled at each other.

The purpose of the trip to the imperial capital was achieved. Niu Geng originally planned to return to Jingzhou City immediately so that he could arrange the scientific researchers of the research center and mobilize some people in related fields to form a special team to connect with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

But due to Yang Wenmao's kind invitation, he finally stayed and had lunch together.

It wasn't until the afternoon that we drove out of the imperial capital.

in addition.

Because this research project is relatively difficult and the time is very limited, even if the two institutions cooperate, there is a high failure rate, so after final discussion, it was decided not to announce this cooperation to the public.

We will announce it to the outside world after the project really achieves a major breakthrough.

This approach is not because of fear of failure. Mainly since the Chinese Academy of Sciences suddenly blocked overseas high-end chip manufacturing technology with the help of Xingyuan Technology, it has been targeted by some overseas news media organizations. Any disturbance in the Chinese Academy of Sciences will be infinitely amplified. , and even distorted facts to create international public opinion.

It is conceivable that how could they miss such a hot topic such as the development of such advanced technology? If they did not follow up and report on this material for several issues, they would be sorry.

And the result of this matter...

In all likelihood, the Chinese Academy of Sciences will need to stand up and explain this. Not to mention the impact on their own work progress, the key point is disgusting.

…

…

September 4th, Saturday.

Just as the holidays were over and the freshmen were reporting to the university, Fruit Phone suddenly announced something.

Decided to officially release the new mobile phone Fruit 13 series.

And what is different from previous new mobile phones is that this time it not only chooses to be sold in the Chinese market first, but also offers the highest discount in history.

Top quality.

The final price is around 8,000.

As soon as the news got out.

It immediately aroused heated discussion among domestic netizens, and there was even a sense of distrust in the words.

After all, fruit companies have launched new series of mobile phones in the past, with the highest configuration being almost more than 10,000 yuan. Although the price set this time is still much higher than that of domestic mobile phones, it has to be said that many fruit fans are quite excited.

The most important point is that this new phone also uses artificial intelligence. Judging from the demonstration video released by the official website of Fruit, the operating effect is not inferior to that of Xingyao's Star System phone. In addition, the new phone has made major optimizations in terms of battery, making it The battery life is greatly improved, and the theoretical time is far longer than that of the Xingyaofanxing system mobile phone.

When so many advantages are brought together on the same mobile phone, you can imagine the temptation it brings, and many consumers simply cannot resist it.

You must know that when Xingyao still belonged to Warwick Technology, although major domestic mobile phone brands had been making mobile phones diligently, they gradually recovered the market share occupied by fruits.

However, the status of fruit mobile phones in the hearts of domestic consumers is still very strong.

Some people even think that fruit phones represent face to a certain extent. Otherwise, why would there be so many news about kidney transplantation and machine replacement?

To use an inappropriate metaphor, this is equivalent to throwing a big stone into a calm river, causing the domestic consumer market to fall into a craze. Whether it is freshmen who have just entered the university campus or so-called office workers, many people I have an idea in my heart that I want to buy this fruit phone.

Even most people know that this is Fruit Phone's counterattack against the booming sales of Xingyao Fanxing system mobile phones some time ago.

"The price is so good, brothers, I can't help it!"

"It has an artificial intelligence similar to that of the Xingyao mobile phone, the battery is so durable, and the price is very favorable. No matter how you look at it, there is no reason not to buy it."

"I just started my freshman year this year. I originally planned to buy a mobile phone with Starry Star system, but I didn't expect that fruits would suddenly become so powerful. It's really difficult to choose. It's really disgusting!"

“I can only say that after so many years of establishment, Guoguo still has its strength.”

"Who made Xingyao not produce new products for so long? Now I have no idea what to give to girls. Fruits are more suitable for gifting."

"Fruit has made such a big fuss this time. It is obviously aimed at Xingyao mobile phones. I don't know how Niu will react. It is best for the two brands to completely fight."
