Chapter 7 Short Board: Chips

Looking at the chip manufacturing equipment in the laboratory, Ye Chen's heart was pounding, whether he could make a light brain or not depends on whether the chip manufacturing equipment could be transformed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it can be transformed, then it will be one step closer to the advent of the light brain. If he couldn't transform it, Ye Chen would have to find another way.

"Can I take a look?" Ye Chen was determined to figure out this situation first. If you can renovate, you can work in the center. If he can't transform it, he can only find another job and find a company with this kind of equipment.

"Of course. Xiao Ye can watch whatever he wants. "The current Sun Hao is very convinced by Ye Chen and responds to his requests.

Sun Hao entered the password, opened the door, and walked into the laboratory with Ye Chen.

The laboratory occupies a large area, occupying half of the second floor, and there is a lot of equipment in it.

"Xiaoye, you know that our country's chips are a big shortcoming, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the biggest shortcoming. Modern production is always inseparable from intelligence, and intelligence is always inseparable from chips. If we can't solve the chip, we will always be controlled by others. Although the country has invested a lot of money over the years, and many units are researching chips, the results achieved are not large, and the results are small. Sun Hao was very emotional.

Modernization, modernization, where is modernization without chips? Chips can be said to be a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood and the future of a country. If our country can't produce chips, it will be controlled by others and will be stuck in people's necks.

Imported chips? Imports, of course, can solve our urgent needs, but these chips have a backdoor. If someone wants to jam our neck, the consequences are serious.

Which of the chips, computers, and software imported now does not have a backdoor?

"Moreover, our country's chip market is extremely huge, and we import more than 200 billion US dollars of chips from abroad every year, which is more than 1 trillion when converted into our currency. It is heart-wrenching that such a large market is not occupied by our enterprises, and all of them are occupied by foreign companies. Ye Chen knows the domestic chip market very well, and he also has a lot of feelings.

Chips, the largest import commodity in the Celestial Empire, have surpassed oil.

"Fortunately, the country launched "Manufacturing 2025" and included chips in it, increasing the support of policies and funds. I think that with the wisdom of our nation, it will not take much time to produce the chips we need. Sun Hao is still very confident about the future.

Ye Chenxin said, I have mastered the light brain technology now, not to mention the current chips, even more advanced photonic chips are not a problem, the problem is only that I do not have the conditions to manufacture them.

"What kind of chip are we going to make?" Ye Chen asked.

Chip is a general term, and there are many types, such as computer chips, industrial chips, navigation chips, automotive chips, and mobile phone chips...... Lin Lin finally came down, and there were really a lot.

"After many discussions on this issue, we first wanted to make mobile phone chips. In fact, for our country, what is most needed should be computer chips and industrial control chips. How important is the computer to a country, everyone knows that there is no industry without the computer? However, the difficulty of computer chips is great, and the opponents we face are very strong, and it is too difficult to win a place in computer chips. Industrial control chips, similar to this. Therefore, we wanted to make mobile phone chips, but we were vetoed by Zhuang Lao. Sun Hao introduced.

"Why?" Ye Chen asked.

Zhuang Lao said that with the progress of electronic technology, electronic technology has been getting closer and closer to the limit, it is difficult to have more room for development, it is better to take a long-term view, to do advanced things. If you want to catch up with foreign countries, you must have a sense of being ahead of your time, and you must go out of your own unique path, otherwise you will never be able to catch up with foreign countries. So, we chose silicon photonics technology. Sun Hao admired Zhuang Lao very much, and said: "Zhuang Lao is worthy of being an academician, and he can see far." ”

"Very admirable seniors." Although Ye Chen had not seen Zhuang Lao yet, his respect for Zhuang Lao came spontaneously.

Electronic technology has been getting closer and closer to the limit, and photonic technology is still far away, so scientists thought of a way, that is, to "hybridize" silicon technology and photonic technology, which can not only break the limit of silicon technology, but also lower the threshold of photonic technology, and there is silicon photonic technology.

Now the basis of electronic technology is silicon, so this kind of hybridization is called silicon photonic technology.

Zhuang Lao was able to ask for the research and development of cutting-edge technology such as silicon photonic chips, which is indeed very unpopular and admirable. Just imagine, if the research and development is successful, our country will not only get rid of the dilemma of being controlled by others, but also stand at the forefront of the world, how wonderful it would be.

"So these devices can be used to make silicon photonic chips?" Ye Chen read out another piece of information, looking forward to it very much and being very excited.

"Of course. This is the equipment we imported from RB Sini and it is very advanced. Sun Hao replied in the affirmative.

That's great! That's great! Ye Chen only felt that this answer was the most beautiful note in the world, which made his blood boil, and he couldn't wait to hug Sun Hao and kiss him a few times.

Ye Chen's biggest worry was that these equipment could not be transformed, and now this worry is gone. Because the equipment that can make silicon photonic chips will inevitably be transformed into equipment that can make photonic chips.

It won't be long before Ye Chen can create an advanced computer like the light brain, so how wonderful the future is, don't you need to think about it?

As a result, Ye Chen will also be famous in history, and he will be as famous as great scientists such as Edison, Newton and Einstein, and life is infinitely beautiful.

This was enough to make Ye Chen excited, however, there was something that made him even more excited, Sun Hao smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, you don't know yet, right?" We have not only imported these advanced equipment, but also imported a large number of raw materials. You see, this is laser material......"

As he spoke, he introduced Ye Chen.

Listening to Sun Hao's introduction, Ye Chen's eyes were shining, like light bulbs.

The computer uses electrons to perform calculations, while the optical brain uses photons to do the calculations. The light brain is to use lasers to achieve computing purposes, so there is a laser generator in the light brain. There are laser materials here, which means that Ye Chen doesn't have to worry about the materials, which is a supreme gospel for Ye Chen, who only has dozens of oceans.

It's the right time to come to work in the center, it's extremely wise, Ye Chen secretly rejoices.

"It's a pity, although we have done so much work, it will take a lot of time to set up the laboratory, at least one year, at most three or two years." Sun Hao has regrets that it is not so easy to set up a high-tech laboratory.

"Sun Zhu, I'm also quite interested in chips, can I do some small experiments?" Ye Chen began to fight for "tickets".

"Huh. Xiao Ye, with your talent in computers, if you don't come, I will drag you here. You have such a talent, if you don't participate in the research and development of silicon photonic chips, it will be a great loss. Sun Hao was impressed by Ye Chen.

Yesterday, Ye Chen's performance was very eye-catching, and he couldn't accept it.

"Sun Zhu, you think too highly of me." Ye Chen said humbly.

"I'll give you the authority." Sun Hao is very refreshing.

"Okay." Ye Chen was very happy. As long as he gets the authorization to enter, it means that Ye Chen can enter and leave the laboratory at any time, and he can do private work at any time to make light brains.

"I have one request, though." Sun Hao said.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Ye Chen's heart tightened, it wouldn't be regret, right?

Ye Chen was really afraid that he would regret it now, so he had to smile all over his face, and lower his stature, not to mention one request, that is, ten or eight, and Ye Chen could only agree.

"Hmm. Xiaoye, you have to fix those loopholes as soon as possible. Sun Hao was very satisfied with Ye Chen's attitude.

"Definitely, definitely." Ye Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I thought this was a requirement, it turned out to be this, it means nothing.

After authorization, Sun Hao took Ye Chen to visit again.

In addition to chip equipment, Building 3 is also some logistics materials, and Sun Hao took Ye Chen to take a look. Ye Chen is most concerned about chip equipment and raw materials now, and he doesn't care about anything else.

After reading it, Sun Hao led Ye Chen to the technical department of Building 2, assigned a desk to Ye Chen, and said, "Xiao Ye, you sit here." I'm going to get the information, and we're going to solve the problem first. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

Ye Chen was a little speechless, he was worthy of being a technical nerd, and when it came to technology, it was all the rage.

"Wow." An exclamation rang out, coming from the mouths of colleagues.

Those male colleagues, all with bright eyes and a look of admiration: "Who is this, such good luck." ”

Luck? Ye Chen wondered, why don't you just share a desk, what's the luck?
