He was encouraged for a long time, and said: "If steel contributes a lot to economic development, then the semiconductor industry contributes ten times more to economic development than steel." I am a computer worker, and I know that the country has been catching up with foreign computer technology since the 50s, and there is still a gap of nearly 10 years until now. ”

Elder D nodded slowly: "Yes, many scholars of the older generation are obsessed with this. ”

Chang Chang continued: "In fact, we are very close to the world level, and some aspects of research have even reached the world's cutting-edge, but it depends on how the road below goes. ”

"The computer is not a fighting machine, it is a real industrial product, foreigners will not spend a lot of money just for fun, it is indeed the need of social productivity. The third technological revolution has begun, and we have to catch this last train, and there is an opportunity in front of us. ”

"Well spoken, go on. Mr. D encouraged that since he had visited the developed countries of the West, his thinking had completely changed, poverty was not socialism, and the wealth of the West had deeply stimulated him.

Prosperity depends only on the progress of productivity, so D is very concerned about long-term words.

"Computer technology is at the center of this technological revolution, and if we grasp it, we will be able to accomplish it. Now computers are being updated, from transistors to integrated circuits, from large to miniaturized. What's really remarkable is that even the Americans haven't made the transition, so we can make the leap. He said impassionedly for a long time, and his voice unconsciously became louder, attracting the sideways glances of others, "This is not a leap forward, the processor I designed is an example, it can also be manufactured in China, and the performance can definitely be said to be the highest in the same grade." So this leap is entirely possible, but there is a premise. ”

"What is the premise?" D Lao was fascinated by what he said for a long time, all Chinese people dream of making the motherland's science and technology take off, but manpower is sometimes poor, and the leapfrog development Chinese people have suffered too much.

The premise is that it does not depend on the efforts of the individual, but on the will of the state. "The characteristics of modern computers are that they take integrated circuits as the main components, involving the industrial upgrading of all walks of life, and the capital, technology, and manpower required are not something that an individual or a company can afford, and there is no support from the state......

"Take the core thing microprocessor, the basis of the microprocessor is the integrated circuit, first of all, the purity of the silicon element is as high as possible, this requires technology; then to pull out the monocrystalline silicon rod, the larger the diameter, the better, this also requires technology; the subsequent photolithography, mask and other integrated circuit manufacturing processes have extremely high technical requirements. In the later stage, there are packaging, testing and other links, and what Huaxia lacks is not a little bit. ”

"To be honest, all I can do personally is lead a bunch of people to design microprocessors, and I can't do anything else. He waved his hand for a long time and said that he was worried about his request.

"Then what should I do, Huaxia doesn't have these technologies, and foreigners refuse to give them?" Hearing that there were so many difficulties, D Lao was a little anxious, forgetting his long age, and blurted out, "Some people say that the market is open for those foreign direct investment and the market is exchanged for their technology." Haven't the Americans already eased the technology embargo on us? ”

"In key areas related to the lifeline of the national economy and national security, the real core technology and key technology cannot be bought, and we must rely on self-reliance. "My family shares a pond with a wicked neighbor, and he can raise fish but I can't, so I can only show him the fish pond to make ends meet." ”

Mr. D and Dr. Yu were very strange, how could they suddenly tell the story when they had spoken well for a long time.

"I wanted to teach myself how to raise fish, but the evil neighbor said, you don't have to learn it yourself, I'll give you the fry, you just have to feed it every day. ”

So I believed, and continued to work under the hands of my evil neighbors, and after more than ten years, I still do not cultivate fry, but only feed the fish. ”

Speaking of which, everyone understands a little bit, the evil neighbor is the developed countries of Europe and the United States, and it means self-reliance.

"Europe and the United States will not only control the introduction of their own advanced technology into other countries, but also use their own technological advantages to suppress our independent scientific and technological research and development. For example, when we were able to make computers 10,000 times, the Americans sold us computers 10,000 times. When we were able to make millions of computers, the Americans relaxed the export restrictions on medium-sized computers. In short, it is to do everything possible to block your independent research and development, so that you feel that independent research and development has no value until the team is disbanded. Without competitors, we're left to our devices. ”

"You still tell stories, so what do you say you should do to break through the blockade. Elder D asked.

"If you want me to say, then we have to show the courage to develop two bombs and one satellite, and gather the technical forces of the whole country to seek breakthroughs. "But this is also a bit of a problem, the technology can be improved in this way, but what to produce and where to sell it is a problem." My idea was to accumulate funds in the software field first, and then go step by step with the money to cater to the foreign market. However, I myself think this is a bit idealistic, and it makes you laugh at it, and the national development policy is not something that I can make by talking nonsense as a kid. ”

"It's not gibberish, it's a technician's long-term vision. It's the first time I've heard of someone who can look so far technically. Elder D sighed, "I have to think about what you said. ”

"Thank you so much!" "In fact, as long as I have the opportunity, I don't want the country to make the world's top integrated circuit production line, you know, our Dr. Yu is the director of the chip factory of Intel Corporation, and he has personally participated in the development of the integrated circuit production line." After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Dr. Yu.

Dr. Yu couldn't, so he had to say, "This is not a big problem, there are many talents in China, and we will be able to handle these affairs well." ”

"It's good to be able to contribute to the country. If Mr. Yu is interested, he can talk about it in detail. "D old is very happy, the upper level has long been vigorously developing the integrated circuit industry, and trying to keep up with the international level, but the people are not aligned, and all departments are fighting for their own interests, so that there is no clue until now, it is that there are many people who speak, and there are few people who really do practical things.

Dr. Yu thought about it for a moment and said tactfully: "It's still too early to say, the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, this is a big deal, I still think it's better to go according to the plan." ”

"Well, after all that has been said, it's time for everyone to eat, come on, cheers!"

——————

After eating, Dr. Yu returned to his residence, and complained for a long time: "Why are you talking like this today, it makes me worry for a while. ”

Chang Ze said with a smile: "I'm afraid of any big leader and don't eat people, I'm telling the truth, and no one will blame me for being a child." ”

"That's not nonsense, you think integrated circuits are so easy to make, and they are useless without equipment. Dr. Yu was still angry, "Besides, even if there is a production line, what can you do." If you don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars, you won't even be able to collect the capital. ”

"Who said I want to make a CPU, I can't make a memory?" said with a long laugh.

Dr. Yu: "Memory? Now the international market is falling, and it is all patented by Intel, what do you do, don't tell me that you can control the cost lower than Intel." ”

Chang Chang: "Memory is expensive, what can't be done, and what's the most profitable? It's EPROM rewritable memory, which is needed in almost every product, and we can't just do it." ”

The EPROM chip can be erased and written repeatedly, which solves the disadvantage that the PROM chip can only be written once. It has an obvious feature, that is, there is a glass window, through which the integrated circuit inside can be seen, and the data inside can be erased by ultraviolet rays shining through the hole on the chip inside.

This kind of memory can still store data after power failure, so a large number of it is used in various circuits, and Intel relied on this to make a lot of money and feed the CPU manufacturing department.

Dr. Yu was stunned: "EPROM? That thing has a patent, you must have a license to produce it, as you said, will others give you the technology to eat? I'm afraid it's difficult to develop it yourself." ”

Chang Chang hurriedly reassured: "Don't get excited, it's not that far, I'm just putting forward an idea, and I never wanted to do EPROM, I have a simpler thing to save data without electricity, hehe." ”
