"All components have been structurally integrated into a whole, so that electronic components are developing towards micro-miniaturization, low power consumption and high reliability, and in the field of computer chips, there is a name called wafer.

The wafer is a cylindrical monocrystalline silicon cut into a round silicon sheet, all integrated circuits are processed on the wafer, and then after cutting, packaging, testing, it is the finished chip, Mr., if I guess correctly, the wafer size used by your VIE company should be about eight inches, and the process technology of burning more than ten microns of line width on this large wafer, such a large wafer, you can burn thousands of parts!"

Liu Lang looked at Wan An and asked.

"Well, Liu Lang, you're right, it's indeed an eight-inch wafer, we can burn more than 3,000 electronic components on this chip, our computer is the smallest in the world today, and the computer chips of other companies are fourteen inches, but its function can't be compared with us!"

Wan An nodded.

"Everyone, do you see? There are more than 3,000 parts burned on such a large piece of semiconductor material, which is like a brain, and every part will affect the operation of the brain, and it is very difficult to do this alone, and this brain has to think like a human being, make various commands such as writing, this is the original creation of Mr. Wan Lao's company!"

Liu Lang's explanation still confused those officials, if Liu Lang said anything about factory construction, some of them still know something, but semiconductor chips are undoubtedly heavenly for these people.

"Mr. Lao, I personally think that the development trend of the computer industry is essentially the continuous progress of chips, one is the densification of integrated circuits of chips, now an eight-inch wafer can burn thousands of parts, with the continuous progress of science and technology, if a four-inch wafer burns tens of thousands of parts, what will happen?

Liu Lang also ignored those officials and said to Wan An.

"Liu Lang, what you said is very reasonable, but the development of chips is definitely not an overnight thing, in my opinion, even if one day can reach tens of thousands of parts burned on a four-inch wafer, it will be more than ten years later, and it will not be solved in a short time. ”

Wan An still thinks so.

"That's right, but things in ten years have to be done now, I can't say that there will be a four-inch chip tomorrow, I will prepare it today, after all, the chip industry is not an overnight thing, first there are eight inches to have four inches, and then there will be two inches or even smaller circuit boards, because in my opinion, the computer industry is the mainstream industry in the future, it will have a market of hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars, for this huge market, the country can not be despised either!"

In fact, in Liu Lang's previous life, by the end of the 90s, computer chips were already unbelievably small, and a two- or three-inch chip could burn hundreds of thousands or even millions of electronic components, and a scientist put forward the theory that the number of electronic components would double in a year, which is the famous Moore's law.

In the 21st century, the chip industry has officially entered the nano era, and the size of each electronic component has shrunk to the nanometer level, which is not the same as that of today's chips.

Wan An listened to Liu Lang's words and was silent, in all fairness, even as a computer king, he never thought that computers would become the general trend of the world in the future, in his thinking, computers are just tools used by those large companies to process complex data, such as calculation, writing, etc., as for the personal computer, it is just a fantasy, not that many people can't afford the price, but what does a personal computer do? There is a typewriter for writing, how cheap is that thing, only a few hundred dollars, and very simple, processing complex data? Where do individuals need the help of a computer, a calculator is sufficient.

However, Liu Lang was very impressed by the complex text editing software mentioned by Wan He, but in order to edit such complex software, the existing chip would have to be at least doubled in size, and it would take at least two or three years to be manufactured.

In short, Wan An admires Liu Lang very much, and thinks that many of his concepts are in line with the future development trend of computers, but it will take a long time, at least twenty or thirty years to be possible.

Wan An was silent, Wan He and Wan Lie were both with bright eyes, their views were completely different from their father's, thinking that Liu Lang's understanding was correct, and that personal computers would be the future of the industry, this idea was all after Wan He and Liu Lang's words.

Before Liu Lang had no contact with Wan He, they didn't understand, but Liu Lang's words gave Wan He a sense of epiphany, in the future, computers can be used to listen to music, to process text and pictures, and even to make all kinds of games, in short, in Liu Lang's mouth, computers are omnipotent, and have begun to replace the human brain.

If you say this to Wan An, Wan An is just a joke at best, he has been in the computer industry for more than 30 years, and he thinks that his understanding of this industry is stronger than everyone else, but he doesn't know, it is precisely this cognition that imprisons his thinking, so that he always sticks to the old way, but his two sons are young people in their twenties and thirties, maybe their understanding of computers cannot be compared with their father, but their thinking is far more active than their father, and their minds are full of "unrealistic" These fantasies have not been activated before, but after Liu Lang's more "unrealistic" description, all kinds of "fantasies" in their minds began to "awaken".

"Mr. Lao, the country's development in the semiconductor industry is far beyond your imagination, it is not poor and white as outsiders know, and even if we unite these enterprises, it may not be worse than Wanwan, and it is likely to be stronger than them. ”

Liu Lang no longer struggled with the other party about the future development of computers, and once again brought the topic to the matter of investing and building factories in the mainland.

"This ......!"

Wan An pondered.

"Father, we have signed a chip manufacturing agreement with Wanwan for the next five years, of course, we can't go back, but I personally think that it is completely possible to build a test workshop in the mainland to develop some new chips, of course, this premise is that the semiconductor industry in the mainland is really as Liu Lang said!"

Wan Lie said suddenly.

"This .........!"

Wan An glanced at his son and felt that he still had some truth in what he said.

"Father, why don't I move my laboratory here!"

Wan He also spoke.

"This is a good idea!"

Liu Lang slapped the table and startled others.
