Such large-scale technical cooperation can only be organized by the state, and there are many research institutes, laboratories, university professors, and discipline leaders who participate. The Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and Lin Qiangsheng reached an agreement to jointly develop and own the technology, and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense contributed manpower and material resources, and Lin Qiangsheng contributed R&D funds to jointly conduct scientific research on computer technology, electronic communication technology, and LCD technology.

The country has also given this major project a code name, "21st Century Project".

In order to promote the development of computer education in China, the domestic education department will cooperate with Lin Johnson's Pentium computer company, Compaq, to set up a computer study class in the children's palace of each city, with no less than 15 computers per class. It is necessary to set up computer study rooms in primary and secondary schools one after another, and strive to establish a complete computer education system before 90 years.

For this plan, Lin Qiangsheng donated 2,000 computers to China at one time, and set up computer study classes as pilot projects in primary and secondary schools in Beijing, SH, Yangcheng and Bincheng in advance, which played a strong role in promoting this project!

Of course, the country is also thinking about establishing a computer education system as soon as possible, but now the economy is in a difficult period, and funds are needed everywhere, where is the money to equip schools with computers. Without Lin Qiangsheng's urging, it doesn't have to be when it will start, and his 2,000 computers have facilitated the implementation of this plan.

Lin Qiangsheng gave such a big gift to the country, and the central leaders would not let him pay in vain, and the computers used in this computer education program naturally adopted the products of his two computer companies. The education market is a big market for millions of computers!

Lin Qiangsheng also has a deep hidden purpose, so that students can be exposed to the computers of these two companies from an early age, and establish a strong brand awareness in the hearts of students to cultivate loyal users. Then when these students grow up. After having economic strength, they will subconsciously identify with the products of the two companies, which will greatly promote the influence of the two companies in the Chinese market!

In addition, Lin Qiangsheng has greater ambitions, and there is also a very broad market in China for government bank office computers. Of course, the domestic government and banks do not have such an urgent need for computer office, but Lin Qiangsheng will also promote their efforts in this area.

Outside the Silicon Valley headquarters laboratory. Lin Qiangsheng was staring at the TV screen when it was December 25, the traditional Christmas in the West. The company's American employees were on vacation, but only Cordinan, an electronics engineer from the LS Institute in Los Angeles, was present because he was a Jew who was not interested in Christmas in the Americans.

As an electronic engineer, Cordinan is also an expert in computers, but Lin Qiangsheng used to regard him as an automotive electrical expert, and in fact, the nearly 40-year-old Cordinan also had experience in developing semiconductor technology.

"Aha, boss, where did you find these professional technicians. They are so professional that I can't even operate such a delicate lithography machine with such a level of stability! Cordinan looked at the TV screen in amazement and exclaimed.

On the screen, Professor Zhang Xi and his assistant engineers are operating lithography machines and other equipment to do tape-out, this Dongxing prototype chip after more than four months of preparation and two months of design, finally to interview!

The Dongxing prototype chip is a 16-bit processor, which can support 16MB of memory, with an MMU (Memory Management Unit) module that allows it to manage virtual memory. Like the 8086, it does not have a floating point unit (FPU). However, it can use an x87 coprocessor.

Professor Zhang Xi led the engineers from China to design the chip circuit in two months, which is unimaginable in China!

At Lin Johnson, each of them has a computer at their disposal. Moreover, there are abundant technical books and literature materials for reference, and there are all kinds of confidential materials that are rare in China.

The most helpful to engineers is the circuit design assistance software, which has a good database to provide support, so that engineers do not have to do complex and heavy computer drawing work, and the results are available in a few clicks, which is hundreds of times more efficient than hand-drawn circuit diagrams!

These domestic researchers are fascinated by the nutrients here. Then I worked overtime day and night in the laboratory and reading room.

American employees basically say "crazy" and "mentally ill" about these Chinese, and these people don't care about the strange way Americans look at them with curiosity, awe and rejection. may be influenced by Lin Qiangsheng himself, so that they have a Chinese-style boss and are more confident; Perhaps these people have just gone abroad and have not yet come into contact with the Chinese society abroad and have come into contact with bad habits. In short, this group of engineers and technicians have a stubborn spirit that is neither humble nor arrogant, which is also the source of power to support their hard work!

It took a day and a night for the research team to produce 22 chips, and Dong Jiasheng's team replaced Zhang Xi's team halfway. After all, Professor Zhang Xi is over 60 years old, making chips, hard work, high mental concentration, and long-term work is very damaging to the body, and Lin Qiangsheng is also afraid that Professor Zhang Xi's body will not be able to support it.

He waited outside the lab, and it was noon the next day, and Cordinan had already gone home from work to enjoy the holidays, because Westerners also had four or five days off after Christmas.

Two professors, Zhang Xi and Dong Jiasheng, have already begun to test the chip, and if the test data of the prototype chip meets the ideal requirements, then the chip will be officially mass-produced.

Professor Lin Lanying in China is also very concerned about the test data of the American laboratory, and the transatlantic phone call has basically not been interrupted, and the two sides have been exchanging news in this way. If the test data here is successful, the semiconductor factory in Bencheng will also prepare for the production of this chip. After nearly a year of technical transformation, the production line there has initially reached the 1.5 micron process technology.

"Test complete!" Suddenly, the voice of an engineer came from the intercom, and there was both exhaustion and excitement in his voice.

Lin Qiangsheng pounced on the intercom, grabbed the microphone and asked anxiously, "How is the data?" ”

"It worked! We have designed a chip that is truly international advanced level! On the screen, you can see the enthusiastic cheers of the researchers in the laboratory, as well as the cheerful actions of Professor Zhang Xi and Professor Dong Jiasheng laughing and celebrating each other.

"This chip uses 1500nm technology, integrates a total of 126,000 transistors, consumes N/A working voltage of 5V, socket type 68-pin core area of 49mm2, clock frequency 6-12MHz, up to 22MHz!"

The tester reported the parameters, and a sound verification test of the chip contained a lot of detailed information. It is generally in the form of data files for designers and testers to provide effective data basis in the interactive process of repairing or improving the design, mainly including the description of the CMOS process of the chip, the description of the working mechanism, the electrical characteristics (DC parameters, AC parameters, up/pull resistance, capacitance, leakage, temperature and other test conditions, etc.), timing diagram, application information, characteristic values, chip circuit diagram, layout diagram, etc. Comparing the test results obtained by the chip after the parameter test, functional test and structural test in the verification test process with the above data and information, it will reflect various problems in the performance of the chip in a targeted manner. Based on these questions, the design engineer can make corresponding improvements to the design.

Listening to the researchers report the data one by one, Lin Qiangsheng also had a big smile on his face, but at the same time, tears fell silently down his face.

Li Jing and Wang Huichang also received the news and quickly rushed to the laboratory, Li Jing looked at Lin Qiangsheng's tearful face, the corners of her eyes were moist, Li Jing opened her arms and said to Lin Qiangsheng vividly: "Johnson & Johnson, congratulations!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at Li Jing and Wang Huichang and smiled, he wiped his tears and hugged Li Jing, and then looked at each other with Wang Huichang, the two laughed again, and then hugged warmly and patted each other's shoulders vigorously.

The husband and wife are also very excited, the two of them have put too much energy into this base, and the laboratory production line and even the construction project here have their hard work. From the beginning of the excavation of the foundation, the two watched the company take shape day by day, and here they are like two children. The research team has created a chip that can be used here, and such a big achievement also makes Wang Huichang and his wife happy!

"It's done, we've made it!" Lin Qiangsheng shouted happily and excitedly. Such success is really hard-won, how many times to think carefully and how many times to deal with the country, how much hard sweat, and finally in exchange for a chip with an area of only 49mm2, don't look at its small area but it carries the hope of everyone here!

Wang Huichang patted Lin Qiangsheng's shoulder and said loudly: "Good job, these technicians you brought are all good looks, they are all geniuses!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng let go of his hand and looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as they are under the same technical conditions, domestic researchers are no worse than Americans!" ”

Wang Huichang asked with a smile: "Boss, this time I don't think you can do it if you don't give these researchers a salary increase!" ”

Li Jing wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and after hearing her husband's words about Lin Qiangsheng, she also burst into tears and said: "That's right, these researchers work hard to get domestic wages, this is called exploitation, right?" It's a serious exploitation! You're embarrassing me to get paid, I protest! ”

Lin Qiangsheng laughed and said, "Of course you have to increase your salary!" Not only must they increase, but they must also receive the same salary as the Americans, and they must make up for the salary they deserve for half a year! These domestic scientists and engineers have proved their worth with their strength! As soon as this chip comes out, I believe that not only the American employees in the company, but also the entire American Chinese community, and even the American computer industry will be greatly shaken!
