Chapter 0737: Progress
'Holy Light', the new headquarters building of the imperial capital, the president's office.
The space of more than 100 square meters is slightly empty and monotonous, except for a large desk by the window, there are only a few sofas and coffee tables.
On the desk, Zhou Qingfeng was fiddling with a GTX1080 mining card. After all, he still couldn't get rid of the temptation to pursue computing speed, and got himself a super personal computer.
Of course, he could only use it for himself, and letting it out would cause him a lot of trouble.
On the back of the 'mining' mining card, there will be a circle of burnt yellow on the chip resistor. This is the chip that has been working at high intensity for a long time and is hot, and it will be baked into this color, which will bring instability.
A simple repair with the burnt yellow color gradually disappearing. Nine trillion floating-point computing power per second is back as good as new. Zhou Qingfeng couldn't wait to put it on the computer case.
Power on, install the driver, and test the software.
When the result was waiting, there was a knock on the office door, and Erin, who was wearing a hip-hugging skirt, walked in and whispered, "Master, Mitsui has rejected our latest request." But they hope to continue the talks next week. ”
"Talk about a fart." Zhou Qingfeng pursed his lips angrily, "Little Japan wants to talk, but what they want to give is not what we want." It is clear that he is bullying us, and he sees that the 'Holy Light' is a fat sheep.
Watanabe called me yesterday and said that the newspapers in Tokyo openly said that it was impossible for 'Holy Light' to obtain advanced semiconductor technology, and that it would not be possible to spend $30 billion because we did not have talent.
What is even more annoying is that when these news are transmitted to China, a group of brainless literati echo them, shouting about "terrible Japan", "unsurpassable opponents", and "backward system". Damn, before the battle began, someone shouted surrender first. ”
Zhou Qingfeng scolded angrily.
The domestic semiconductor industry started in the fifties and sixties to follow the world trend, but the backwardness of basic science and industrial strength led to a large number of shortcomings after in-depth research, and it could not keep up with the trend.
In 77, the Modu Optical Machinery Factory developed a contact lithography machine, which reached the level of the fifties of Eagle Sauce. In the 80s, it was 'better to buy than to build', and if you fall behind, you will fall behind step by step, and it will be difficult to pick it up again.
'Holy Light' wants ordinary electronic components, and Mitsui is willing to give it. But when it comes to the semiconductor industry, Mitsui keeps in touch with it and has a good attitude, but he desperately sells technology that is two or three decades behind.
In the 90s, the export of foreign products to China was high-tech products. Domestic exports are all things that eat, drink, and sleep, and they can't make a lot of money when they're tired.
It's a really uncomfortable feeling to get stuck in the neck.
After a few minutes of talking to Erin, the new computer was tested. A flurry of data appears on the screen with a big red 'error'. She smiled and asked, "Master, what is this?" ”
"It's a beta version of 3D simulation software.
The project of Madasic settled in Guizhou, and the two parties initially chose to cooperate in the production of AI-25TLK turbofan engines, and the domestic model is turbofan 11. This small turbofan was used on the K-8 trainer aircraft of the Hongdu Plant.
China originally wanted to save money to engage in reverse imitation, but I told them not to reverse it, I paid for positive introduction.
Madasic has amassed a huge database of tests over the past few decades, but most of their tests have been conducted on physical prototypes, which are very clunky in the computer age.
I asked Ma Qianshan to borrow the data of Madasic and turn the engine of the cooperation between the two sides into a digital model and simulate the test on the computer. This can reduce the time and expense of developing new engines in the future and identify the best areas for improvement.
A single simulation can save at least a few weeks and save hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. However, the computer performance I gave Ma Qianshan is very average, and the simulation time is not very good. In addition, the simulation seems to have gone wrong, and there is a shortage of software talents. ”
The model that can be built in a few seconds in the GTX1080 takes more than ten days to change the 486 in the hands of Ma Qianshan. During this period, the hard disk will rotate desperately, and more than ten megabytes of memory will be exhausted.
Maybe halfway through the simulation, the computer crashes first.
"This is a three-dimensional finite element calculation of a large amount of data, and poor 486 can't handle it."
Zhou Qingfeng pinched his head helplessly. He had a dragon slaying knife in his hand, but he asked his subordinates to take a kitchen knife to cut the monster - a monster that could be hacked to death with a single knife, but he could only do it in a hurry.
Especially when cutting monsters, you have to endure the sneers of Little Japan and Gongzhi next to you.
"Give Ma Qianshan a few PS3s as well, and let them send someone to learn how to use them. The processing of large amounts of data can be sent to me. 486 or something is too slow, it's really unbearable. ”
486 was Britney a few days ago, and now she is Mrs. Niu.
Erin walked behind Zhou Qingfeng with a smile, stretched out her hand to help him relax the back of his neck, and said softly: "Master, do you want to hear some good news?" ”
Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes.
Erin's hand became stronger, and she continued to smile: "Today Sophia received several working groups of the ministry. The $30 billion stimulus was strong enough to really make them positive.
The ministry has reformulated the high-level planning of the semiconductor development roadmap, and is ready to pick up the entire electronics industry that has been left behind for a decade. They said that it would take a month to make a preliminary plan and half a year to form a project.
As long as there are sufficient funds, it will be officially launched in March next year. At that time, it will be completely possible to base itself on the domestic market and move forward step by step. Of course, with the support of foreign technology, the progress will definitely be faster. ”
Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes harder. Now it is not easy to say anything to the country, saying that foreign exchange must be useful.
Erin continued, "In addition, Meow Meow and the goblins sneaked to the Imperial Capital Hotel where the Mitsui negotiators were staying and eavesdropped on their communications with Japan. The guys weren't that calm, they were actually a little flustered.
There are many factions within Mitsui, and there are also people who want to loosen their mouths and sell us the next generation of process lines. Because they are also facing huge financial pressures for the next generation of processes.
In addition, some people believe that forcing us to develop ourselves is not the best decision, and it is also a reasonable business practice to appropriately relax export restrictions in exchange for market share. ”
Zhou Qingfeng relaxed for a while, leaned his head back, and snorted unconvinced, "It seems that we are too much of a loss just to talk to Mitsui, is there anything else that can join the competition?" ”
"It seems that it is gone, the semiconductor industry is basically controlled by the Americans, and Japan is also accepting the technology transfer from the Americans. At best, the South Stick and Southeast Rebellion are a source of technology. As for Europe"
Ha, hearing the last two sentences, Zhou Qingfeng let out a loud mocking sound. He didn't make any comments at all, shook his head and said, "We have hit hard bones, and we still have to walk on two legs." ”
Erin said 'uh-huh' twice, pinched Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder for a while, and saw that the owner's mood seemed to be relaxed, and decided to pick the time to say something not very good.
"Master, aren't you going to buy the unfinished 'Varyag' at the Nikolaev shipyard in the Black Sea?"
"Yes, how is the progress of the negotiation with Da Mao Ermao?"
"There is good news, Da Mao is willing to give up the ownership of that aircraft carrier to offset the debt owed to Ermao. Ermao is also looking to sell the aircraft carrier, and there are currently several inquiries. Ermao's offer is $100 million. ”
This price is a bit high.
Zhou Qingfeng frowned and said, "There is good news, there is bad news." ”
"Yes. For some reason, when the news of our attempt to buy the Varyag broke, the Tuji suddenly said that it would enforce the ban imposed by the NATO allies and prevent any ships of the Holy Light from passing through the Bosphorus. ”
After hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng's relaxed expression immediately retracted, and he asked rhetorically: "What year is this year?" ”
"'92."
"Does it want to die?"
Erin laughed, she knew that her master was going out to do something again.
