Chapter 17 Moore's Law and Mobile Communications
Long Xiaoguang explained: "Moore's Law is very instructive in our world - to the effect that when the price remains the same, the number of components that can fit on an integrated circuit will double every 18-24 months, and the performance will also be doubled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info In other words, the performance of a computer that can be bought for every dollar will more than double every 18-24 months. Although it cannot be said that Moore's Law has always been in effect, according to our current technological level, we will make every effort to develop the semiconductor industry, at least in the next 30 years, we have not touched the bottleneck. Even if Moore's Law gradually becomes invalid after 30 years, in fact, just because the process is getting harder and harder does not mean that the semiconductor industry cannot go further. β
"As for the issue of localization, it has been partially resolved. I simplified the design of the XARM chip, integrating 100,000 transistors on one chip...... This chip is tentatively named Phoenix Nest 1 chip! This chip can replace the high-end chip as the control chip of the drone. Of course, the Phoenix Nest 1 chip is not only used for drones, but a general-purpose chip, which can be used as a basis to develop mobile phones, computers, servers, and game consoles. One design, multiple uses, mass production of this kind of chip, can reduce production costs. When the first generation of chips is mass-produced, and a large number of popular products in the market are developed, it can be realized, and the profits of the market can be used to support the investment in research and development. β
"Mobile communication base station, I also have several solutions, respectively, the first generation of mobile communication base station standards, only used for mobile phones, and can not serve high-end applications such as drones. At the beginning, the first generation of base stations can be launched first, because the first generation of base stations can already be mass-produced, and the first generation of base stations can be used to develop the mobile communication market. After that, it will gradually be replaced with second- and third-generation communications that can support the military and operate UAVs. β
With the completion of Long Xiaoguang's report, the No. 1 chief asked: "I also have a little understanding of integrated circuits, the semiconductor chips currently mastered by the United States with a 3-micron process are only integrated with 30,000 transistors at most, at present, the process of integrated circuits in our country is still stuck in the 5-micron process, and the chip with 100,000 transistors can really be made by the 5-micron process?" β
"This, Chief!" Long Xiaoguang said slyly, "A chip is not prescribed, it has to be a single core." The Phoenix Nest 1 chip is not a single core, but a multi-core. A single core integrates just over 10,000 transistors, but ...... 8 cores integrated with 100,000 transistors is no problem! β
"Multicore?" Chief One said.
"Originally, this was the gradual failure of Moore's law, and the transistors integrated per unit area could no longer grow at the same rate as before, so manufacturers of chip competition began to embark on the road of multi-core." Long Xiaoguang said, "If one chip transistor is insufficient, there will be two, and if two can't work, there will be four or eight, this is what we did later." It's just that I took it out in advance and used it! β
In fact, the semiconductor industry in the Republic is underdeveloped, which is also compared with Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries. Moreover, the gap began to widen mainly in the 70s. Moreover, being pulled apart does not mean that the technology of the Republic has not developed at all, in fact, it is also developing, but it has not caught up with the most advanced technology level in the world for the time being, which is about 2~3 generations behind the most advanced technology level in the world.
In the 50s and 60s, there were a large number of semiconductor factories and laboratories in China, and when integrated circuits first appeared, they followed up quickly, and in the 60s, the computer level was quite good.
Even if the investment was not as good as in the 70s, in 76, a mainframe with 10 million floating-point operations per second was developed.
Now even if it is a little weaker, but China has invested in a number of 3-inch wafer process lines in the 73s, although most of them have not been completed, but there are also BJ878 factory, SX771 institute, GZ4433 factory, successfully built a 3-inch wafer production line.
That is to say, the domestic semiconductor industry is not completely without foundation.
It cannot be said that we do not attach importance to the semiconductor industry and the information industry.
In fact, the leader of my rabbit also attaches importance to the semiconductor industry. In all the planned economies, it was proposed to upgrade the technical level of the integrated circuit and semiconductor industries. But...... The five-year plan is not enough to catch up with the cycle of Moore's Law - Moore's Law is a technology update and upgrade once every 18 months!
According to the five-year plan to catch up, naturally it will not be able to catch up, unless Moore's law fails, the development speed of the semiconductor industry is slower than the five-year plan, and then it can catch up.
Now in the world of MUV, because, with the technical assistance of the traverser, I decided to vigorously develop the semiconductor industry!
Moreover, it is clearly stated that the development of the semiconductor industry is faster than Moore's law!
As long as it's faster than Moore's Law, it's fine......
After all, under Moore's Law, the development of integrated circuits has indeed exceeded the speed of upgrading most of the previous technologies of mankind.

In June 1981, after the secret military exercise of the UAV at the Fengchao base, the central government approved the establishment of Fengchao Mobile Communications Co., Ltd., with Long Xiaoguang as the general manager and legal representative.
Soon after obtaining the approval, Fengchao Communication took the lead in setting up a communication base station in BJ. The first-generation base station of this kind of analog signal is actually not complicated, and it can be built with domestic industrial capacity.
What's more, the real inventor of the mobile phone was not the United States, but the Soviet Union!
In 1957, the Soviet engineer Leonid . Kupriyanovich invented the Πk-1 mobile phone, and in 1958 he improved his own mobile phone, reducing its weight from 3 kg to 500 grams, which was a little lighter than the big brother of the 80s.
In 1958, the Soviet Union began to develop the world's first fully automatic mobile telephone communication system, "ΠΠ»tan". In 1959, the Altai system, with its outstanding performance, was awarded a gold medal at the Brussels World Expo.
It can be said that the Soviet Union was the country that really invented the mobile phone.
As for Martin Cooper of the United States, he was only the inventor of the commercial mobile phone. In fact, in 1973, he invented a mobile phone the size of two bricks, which was no higher than that of the Soviet Union in the 60s.
It's just that the United States is a very commercially developed country, and the market value of a new product can be developed by capital! Success on the commercial market caused the United States to "invent" more than a decade later than the USSR. But the benefits obtained were by no means imaginable for the Soviet Union.
Moreover, in the history of the origin world, the United States really promoted mobile communications on a large scale until the 80s. The United States first established the first generation of cellular networks on its own soil, and then gradually promoted base stations and mobile phones to the world.
At present, the Republic of China, given detailed drawings and design standards, can still build the first generation of base stations and mobile phones.
Because the wireless communication base station is a variant of the radio station, if you can build a radio station, you have your own standards for designing and manufacturing communication base stations. Even the level of technology during World War II could have led to base stations and mobile phones.
The big brother launched by Phoenix Nest Communications can weigh up to 1 kilogram. With this kind of big brick, the traverser will feel embarrassed by the soil, but the people of this world will not feel ashamed.
As for the communication service fee of Fengchao Communication Company at this time, it is not cheap, at present, the communication fee is 1 yuan per minute.
There is also a reason why it is so expensive.
Because, at the beginning, both the base station and the product were made on a small scale in the laboratory. The yield rate of many parts is not high, and at the same time, the cost is very expensive. What's more, in the current situation of insufficient production, it is too cheap to sell and it is difficult to supply the market demand.
