"Boss ......"

"Well, please be seated."

Zhang Fan looked at Li Jianguo and asked, "How did Xiao Nan do in the past two days?" Are you sure of your first choice? ”

"He feels good about himself, I don't think there is much chance, and the test scores in the past are ......," Li Jianguo said.

Xie Xiaodong, the person in charge of the mobile phone team next to him, said: "Not necessarily, in fact, the college entrance examination depends on the on-the-spot performance." Some usually have average grades, and when they take the exam, they are like eating an elixir. I used to have a classmate who was ......."

Speaking, everyone talked about the topic of the college entrance examination.

After a few words, Li Jianguo said: "Boss, our department has discussed it, and we are going to split out 5 people first to form a 'holographic technology research and development team', and then recruit and supplement the ...... personnel."

"In addition, we have some built."

"Let's talk about it." Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Before you came, I just talked to Wu Ge and them, and they said that many technical aspects need your hardware to support. ”

"For example, 'holographic interaction system', '3D rendering system', and 'somatosensory system' all need to be completed by 'specific chips'."

Li Jianguo nodded and said, "What we want to say is also these." We plan to develop two types of chips for 'holographic glasses', one for 'holographic imaging chips' and the other for 'holographic processing chips'. ”

"In terms of the research and development of the 'holographic imaging chip', my colleagues and I have the idea of integrating GPU on the basis of the 'imaging chip' currently being developed, so as to share the 'holographic device display effect' and 'graphic display task'."

"After the successful development of this chip, it can not only be used in holographic products in the future, but also in mobile phones, tablets, TVs, PCs and other devices......"

"Replace the original GPU...... The graphics operation and display effect are both improved. ”

"'Holographic processing chip' is a product. We define 'CPU Assistant'. Its mission is to be specifically responsible for the 'holographic interaction system'! ”

"Together with the 'imaging chip' and 'snow wolf processor', we will build a 'computing interaction structure'."

"In addition, we have built a new level of manufacturing technology. Because I want to put all these chip devices into a pair of glasses. The chip motherboard should be designed to be very small, and if the process does not reach a certain nanometer level, it will affect the hardware performance. ”

……

Hearing this, curiosity arose in Zhang Fan's heart and asked: "What does nanotechnology have to do with hardware performance?" ”

Recently, he has also been paying attention to some hardware news, and has seen news headlines such as '50nm chips' and '45nm ......', but he doesn't quite understand 'what is the direct relationship between these processes and hardware'.

In fact, high-end processing chips such as CPUs are composed of nanometer-level transistors.

To put it simply: the more CPU transistors are placed. The more powerful the processor is, and the size of the nanometer scale means how many transistors can fit into a given size.

For example, for the same 1 cm chip, one uses 50 nm technology and the other uses 40 nm technology.

Chips with 40nm technology are more powerful than 50nm because 40nm transistors are thinner and smaller, and can fit more transistors in a specified size of 1 cm!

As a result, performance is greatly improved.

"I see."

After listening to Li Jianguo and others. Zhang Fan nodded and said, "If we want to design a holographic processor with qualified performance, what kind of nanometer level do we need to achieve?" ”

"It may take below 16nm to keep up with the performance demand." Li Jianguo said.

"16nm ......"

No need for R&D personnel. Zhang Fan also knows the difficulty of this nano process, but he knows very well in his heart: "Since it can be manufactured in the future, it means that this process difficulty is not a problem." ’

"The process can be improved slowly, and we have 4 years to use ......"

"'Real Yàn-level products' don't need to be in place at one time, you can first design the overall idea, and then improve the volume of the product step by step according to the process improvement."

"No, let's design a holographic display helmet first, and use the main chassis as a computing system, so that it will not hinder our research and development progress."

"At the beginning of computer development, it was still the kind of large-scale transistor computer, and now it has also developed to the nanometer level?"

……

Everyone nodded.

Later, Zhang Fan talked to them about the development of holographic equipment, and called Ji Jianguo and other production department directors halfway to understand the technical issues such as 'processor chip manufacturing process' and 'nano process'.

With the hot consumer market of electronic products such as computers, notebooks, and smartphones, domestic consumers are getting higher and higher about product performance.

When it comes to performance, 'chip technology' has become a major topic that cannot be ignored.

Whether it is a processor on a PC, a laptop, or a mobile device such as a mobile phone or tablet, the design principles are the same, and the only difference is the 'process' used.

From the early 130nm, 90nm, and 65nm technologies to the current 50 and 45nm technologies, the CPU process has become more and more refined, and the performance has been comprehensively improved.

'Nano' is the direct embodiment of the zuò manufacturing process.

The more sophisticated the technology, the more transistors can be integrated into the CPU, resulting in stronger performance for the processor. At the same time, it saves power consumption and improves the battery life of mobile devices.

The processor architecture scheme purchased by Xinghuo from ARM is equivalent to a design drawing, and whether it can design the desired low-power and high-performance processor depends on the manufacturing capacity.

Generally, the manufacturing of a finished processor chip can be roughly divided into seven steps.

The first step is silicon purification.

Silicon is the main material used in the construction of processors today. In the purification process, the raw silicon is melted and crystals are added to make 'silicon ingots' composed of monocrystalline silicon.

The second step is to cut the 'silicon ingot' into round wafers, which are the main materials used to make the processor.

There are specialized companies that produce this kind of 'wafer', and many companies at home and abroad order it directly, and then carry out the subsequent processor process production.

Xinghuo's current CPU manufacturing plan also starts from the second step.

After more than two hours of discussion, Zhang Fan and the others decided to first incorporate the 'processor nano process' into the R&D project of the real yàn room. Subsequently, the acquisition and restructuring of Guò gradually strengthened the core R&D capabilities.

With the core technology. You can learn from international giants. Outsource production tasks to manufacturers with manufacturing capabilities.

……

At noon, after Zhang Fan and everyone set the 'hardware research and development plan' and 'holographic hardware research and development', Guo Jiang also rushed from the magic capital with the "Happy Island" development team.

Inside the office.

Guo Jiang and other main creative teams of "Happy Island" sat around the sofa, with excitement on their faces that had not yet subsided.

Zhou Yang held the lunch box and said, "Yesterday, the boss also talked to you about something. To put it simply, the company intends to operate "Big White Happy Island" as an independent brand......"

"There are two projects under this brand, one is the game part, and the other is the theme park, and these two pieces I mean with the boss: to do it together."

"While developing games. While building a theme park. What your game scene is designed to be, what the theme park will be like in the future......"

"In the morning, the company has entrusted a lawyer to help register the 'Happy Island' brand, and you and your R&D team partners will work in Pengcheng in the future, and the real island of our Happy Island will also be set in the waters around Pengcheng in the future."

"Before the island is settled, you will expand the development team on the spot, and in terms of the theme park team, the group company will help you recruit ......."

"All right?"

"No, we were ready before we came!"

Guo Jiang said excitedly: "We are also discussing the addition of a 'currency system' on the plane, and I think this currency system can be turned into real money and used as a game prop in our theme park." It can also be sold as a game merchandise. ”

"In addition, the clothing, boots, and daily necessities designed in the game can also be made into real objects."

"Not bad!" Zhou Yang smiled: "What I said to the boss is to copy one-to-one. So you game designers, design from a realistic point of view. ”

"In the future, there may be an 'offline fashion store' in the "Happy Island" park...... Put the best-selling products in the game into real sales. ”

……

Hearing this, Guo Jiang and the others' eyes lit up, Zhang Fan pointed to the lunch box on the coffee table and said, "Let's make do with some food first, we have an afternoon to talk." ”

"What Mr. Zhou said just now is only a small part, and there are many projects that can be operated after successful game development. The core concept of our "Happy Island" is to bring the game to life and create a real game theme park. ”

"Holographic technology is the glue between online and offline."

"By the way, what was the 'in-game currency system' you just mentioned?"

Guo Jiang swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "Now the game is all about fighting monsters and exploding gold coins, nothing new." I think our Happy Valley can be changed to 'digging gold coins'. ”

"It is to absorb the design of the zombie mine in "Legend", and design a mysterious mine in the game, in which the iron ore, silver ore, copper ore and other mineral metals in the game are all in this mine."

"Players form teams to go to the mines to risk mining and get high returns. The metal ore that is mined can be smelted by the game NPC, or by other blacksmith professional players to help smelt. ”

"The gold coins obtained from such an adventure are more interesting than the gold coins that stand on the stake to fight monsters and explode them."

"Of course, they are not so easy to obtain, the monsters will be refreshed regularly in the mines, and players will have to make zuò torches when they enter...... The torch burning time is also determined by the quality. ”

"Once the torch is burned, the player loses vision...... At that time, it would be exciting to encounter monsters! ”

Zhou Yang listened to it for a while, and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be more exciting to bring our holographic glasses?" You said the idea was great and could be run as a 'mine adventure project' in an offline park. ”

"When we buy the island, it's best to bring this kind of natural cave on the island, so as to save construction and excavation."

"What else is there to build? Let's talk about it. ”

Guo Jiang looked at his colleagues around him and smiled: "Then there is the content of the profession and game settings, as well as some built-in card games." ”

Saying that, Guo Jiang and the team members talked about the game concept with great interest, and people like Zhang Fan who had never played online games also felt very interesting.

When the conversation was in full swing, Zhang Fan saw Gao Tingting waving to him outside, and he seemed to be in a hurry.

……

Studio.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Fan walked out with a teacup.

"It's not a good thing anyway."

Gao Tingting said unhappily: "Xiu'er called me just now and said that her 'grandmother' was going to come to see her, and the 'eldest young master' at home would also come during the summer vacation." ”

"Big Young Master...... You said Su Xiu's mother and her brother are coming? Zhang Fan asked.
