"Haha, I didn't expect you to have such a good time going to Japan, if only I knew I would go too. Fat Biao quipped: "I also know that Nintendo, the president Hiroshi Yamauchi is also a strong man, and he actually wanted to cooperate with me last year, but I didn't bird him." Later, he launched several arcade games, which were cheap to death, but unfortunately they did not sell in the Japanese market. Fortunately, the Americans were stupid and digested all his inventory, otherwise this guy would have to pay for it. ”

Cao Changchang said: "It was against us, otherwise this market will be his sooner or later." This time I felt something different, that guy was very ambitious and seemed to have a big move. Ah Biao, there is a great wealth for you, do you want it?"

Fei Biao said: "What is a big wealth, let's hear it." ”

Cao Changchang said: "Nintendo wants to purchase chips this time to make home machines, and I also specially designed a prototype for them, but now they have no results." Originally, I planned to do it myself if they didn't agree, but I didn't have the time, energy or money to do this kind of thing. ”

"Home machine?" Fei Biao thought for a moment and shook his head, "It's very risky, the key is that you can't make money." Actually, I also thought about doing it, but gave up on it as soon as they were analyzed by the marketing staff, you think about it, the largest home console market is now in the United States, but that is the origin of game consoles, Atari is dominant, and if you want to intervene, you have to face this monster, I have no confidence. ”

"Oh, then you can sell to Japan, you can open a gap first. "I have long known that Atari is not a problem, and the company that is going to collapse in '83 is not a concern, but I can't tell Feibiao.

Fei Biao still refused: "Japan? How big is Japan? The best ones sold in Japan are arcade machines, and home machines have no future." ”

Chang Chang said strangely: "There is no future for home machines? Who told you?"

Fei Biao said: "I am also an industry insider, and this is the result of our market research." Japan's entertainment industry is very developed, and the video game market is basically not a big deal, so arcades are a little popular, and the market for home consoles does not exceed 3 million. The cost of the machine is quite a lot, and there is no profit at all. ”

After a long time of persuasion, Feibiao still didn't listen, only said that it was a long-term delusion, and it was better to do a good job in the integrated circuit production line, so that the purchase was also convenient.

"Nintendo will give it to him if he wants, but the devils are very fine, I'm afraid the price will be very low, you must be careful, don't make a contract if you don't have a million pieces. "In the end, Feibiao still didn't go on the road, but he didn't want to take this promising job and let Chang Hao do it himself.

I couldn't do it for a long time, so I had to give up the plan to let Feibiao accept it, and concentrate on preparing for the integrated circuit production line.

The integrated circuit is a great invention of the century, which concentrates the highest achievements of industrialized society, and the disciplines involved cover almost all categories.

With the efforts of several generations of scientists, the gap between China and the United States has not been "widened" as some people have distorted, but has narrowed, from 12 years to 10 years, and then to 6 years. Until the end of the seventies, the level of computers in China lagged behind that of the United States by only 5 years.

Despite the technological blockade of China by foreign countries, the vast number of scientific research workers and working class in this field, carrying forward the spirit of self-reliance and hard work, relied on their own strength to build China's early semiconductor industry, mastered the whole process from pulling single crystal, equipment manufacturing, and then to integrated circuit manufacturing, accumulated a large number of talents and rich knowledge, and successively developed and produced various types of small and medium-sized bipolar digital logic circuits such as DTL, TTL, ECL, etc., supporting the domestic computer industry.

At that time, apart from China, the only countries with such capabilities were the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union!

However, after entering the eighties, the country's development has entered a fork in the road, although efforts to maintain the development of computer manufacturing technology, but ignore the independence of the underlying basic industries, only care about the imitation of PC, Apple, mainframe, etc., completely do not take the independent research and development of microprocessors seriously, so for the future development of the hidden danger.

Cao Changchang clearly remembers that more than ten years later, "Taiwan Information" reported that in 1996, Taiwan pulled the first silicon single crystal. For this reason, there was a big report on the island to celebrate. Hong Kong's "Phoenix Satellite TV" also reported that in the first quarter of 2002, Taiwan's government and opposition were debating whether to transplant the island's 8-inch silicon production line to the mainland for production......

In fact, the mainland pulled out the first silicon monocrystalline as early as 59 and broke the blockade.

What is a single crystal of silicon? It is the single crystal of silicon element, which is the basis for the manufacture of integrated circuit chips.

The raw material is very simple, that is, sand, which restores the silicon to obtain the silicon element.

But this can't be used, because it's polysilicon, which doesn't have the physical and electrical properties that we need. Only by melting the polysilicon and drawing it with seed guidance can it be used to produce a monocrystalline silicon column.

At that time, they either begged Lao Maozi or smuggled it, or only Professor Lin Lanying, a physicist who returned to China, had a few hundred grams of monocrystalline silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide samples.

Or let's say that the consciousness of the older generation of scientific and technological workers is high! As long as the country can make scientific and technological progress, they don't care about any precious things. Don't underestimate the hundreds of grams of sample monocrystals in Professor Lin's hand, the price in the international market at that time was tens of millions of dollars, and the price was out of stock. However, in order to develop semiconductors, major domestic scientific research units asked Professor Lin for single-grain seeds, and she never refused, and her style was high and admirable.

At that time, it was a silicon monocrystalline pulled out of Tianjin 703 factory, and a dislocation-free silicon monocrystalline was also pulled out in 62 years, but this thing was the first time they encountered it, and no one knew what it was.

To say that the domestic integrated circuit equipment is still very mature, in addition to some traditional equipment can not meet the requirements, other equipment, process performance is excellent. At the end of the seventies, Huaxia had completely independently mastered the molecular beam epitaxy, anti-epitaxy, and non-developing lithography technologies, and could independently manufacture molecular beam epitaxy equipment, develop ion implanters, and even export them to Japan.

The only deficiency in Huaxia's integrated circuit link is the plate-making process, including the optical pattern generator required for the photoplate-making and chrome plate process, the photomask manufacturing system such as the step-by-step repetitive refining machine, the laser pattern generator and the electron beam exposure machine, which is a weakness in China and has always been controlled by the great powers.

Long-term consideration is this link, all complete sets of equipment can be solved in China, but this plate-making equipment is really not easy to do, domestic equipment can only achieve 10 micron accuracy, if you want to go into it is impossible.

If the production line is placed in Shenzhen, many restrictions and equipment imports are really a headache, but it is not in the country for a long time and unwilling, how to balance that is a difficult problem.

I consulted Dr. Yu for a long time, and Dr. Yu suggested that it is best to build a factory in a place with good air, and it is not recommended to go to China.

After a long period of complete chaos, he is also a software person, and he is blind when he encounters this kind of pure manufacturing industry, so he has to beg Dr. Yu to come back to check it.

"You're not going to come to the United States, as long as you have money, what equipment can't you buy?" Dr. Yu said.

"What's the use of going to the United States, domestic technology still can't get up. "I have been thinking about it for a long time.

"Okay, just hold on to it!" Dr. Yu was furious, not knowing how his brain was bad for a long time, "I'll explain what happened here and go back to Hong Kong immediately." ”

When Dr. Yu arrived in Hong Kong angrily, he saw a long spray: "Okay, I'm here, anyway, I don't understand software and marketing, so you can toss hard." ”

Chang Chang scratched his head embarrassedly, and hurriedly served good tea, and it happened that Zhang Yi was also there, and persuaded with kind words: "Uncle Yu, Chang Chang is also a pure heart, don't be so angry, and don't apologize to Uncle Yu for a long time." ”

Chang also hurriedly climbed along: "Uncle Yu, I'm not a tendon, it's just that I'm unwilling to do something in China, I can't watch the efforts of my predecessors go to waste, even if I can be the first in the world in the United States, it still won't help." ”

Dr. Yu sighed: "Forget it, Xiaoyi, you should go to the United States to take over Viewsoft, I have sold it for a long time, and I still have to come to the matter of integrated circuits." ”

Chang was happy: "Dr. Yu is out, that's no problem, I don't know anything about this." ”

Dr. Yu's eyes glared: "Don't talk nonsense, you'd better come up with one or two designs before the factory is built, otherwise you will wait to go out of business! ”

Chang Chang smiled: "Extraordinary people do extraordinary things, and I have even received the first order now, hehe." "I told you about Nintendo.

It turned out that during this period of time, Yamauchi sent people to stare at him for a long time, and he negotiated terms with him.

has been leading in technology for a long time, but the negotiation is not good, so Zhang Yi has to go out, and he is still bargaining.

When Dr. Yu heard this, he was amazed: "This is good, although the price is a little lower, but as long as you increase the quantity, it will be easy to do, the more the chip industry sells, the lower the cost, it is best to order two million pieces, enough to do it in a year." ”

Chang said: "I think so too, let the devil also contribute a sum of money, let's also have an empty glove white wolf, my price is low enough, don't worry about the devil not being on the set, hehe." ”

Dr. Yu nodded: "That's it, I still have a little relationship, see if you can get a complete set of equipment, you have to hurry up." ”

Chang said, "What do you want to do?"

Dr. Yu said: "I have seen the current equipment in China, it can be used, and the price is definitely cheaper than similar equipment abroad, but there are a few key equipment to be imported." ”

Long asked, "How far can that go?"

Dr. Yu: "One micron should be no problem, the production line can be improved, it is good to be in Hong Kong, and some single equipment and spare parts are easy to get." ”

sighed for a long time: "That's good, I'm relieved, I can finally do design." ”

With Dr. Yu coming out, he could finally leave the trivial matter of building a factory for a long time, and the negotiation with Nintendo was handed over to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi became a flyer, shuttling across the ocean, and only relaxed a little after finding a professional manager in the United States.

Dr. Yu came to the mainland alone with a huge amount of money, and spent a month visiting various related households, leading the needle, and relying on his connections, he finally put together a set of large export orders.

At that time, Huaxia was a planned economy, and the scientific research system was very special, basically the state formulated a unified plan, and the major manufacturers and research institutes independently developed a certain kind of equipment, and then assembled.

The state attaches great importance to Dr. Yu's procurement plan, this is the first time that China has exported advanced equipment, and the above has instructed that the best things must be given to foreign guests, and the domestic plan must make way, and all production will be given priority.

Even so, it is still bitter for Dr. Yu, the manufacturers are located in the north and south of the river, and it is still very laborious to visit one by one.

The high-precision large constant temperature zone diffusion furnace of Shanghai Metallurgical Institute, the prefabricated ultra-clean room of Jinshan Electronic Equipment Factory, the ion etching machine, ion implanter, comparative microscope, far-ultraviolet lithography machine, wire cutting machine, etc., have signed contracts one after another, and the main equipment is complete.

The main workshop covers an area of 2,000 square meters, with a purification area of 1,500 square meters, divided into 100 levels, 500 levels, 1000 levels, and 10,000 levels of various purification rooms.

In order to achieve a production accuracy of one micron, the vibration range of the plant should be controlled below 30 microns/second, the total settlement of the foundation of the main plant should be controlled within 100 mm, and the uneven settlement should be controlled within 1.5%.

The manufacturing process includes computer-aided design, plate making, and testing systems, and Dr. Yu is an expert in this area.

With the equipment and engineering contracts basically signed and the most critical photographic plates and shrinkage equipment to be imported, Dr. Yu began to mobilize overseas relationships to find equipment suppliers.
