Before coming here, in fact, Director Li did not have much hope for the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study to make a finished carbon-based chip.

After all, the same project is being carried out by the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and countless enterprises and R&D units in the semiconductor industry base in Jiangcheng are doing it, but so far they have only seen a little bit of results.

After reading the report sent by Professor Lu to Beijing, the old academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences only ambiguously said that the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study may have made a breakthrough in integrating carbon-based transistors into integrated circuits, but no one expected them to be so awesome.

While they were still pondering how to win the technical threshold of how to integrate carbon-based transistors into integrated circuits, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study not only made a finished product, but even used the finished product to DIY a scientific calculator......

If he hadn't seen this thing in front of him, Director Li wouldn't have believed it either.

But now, there is nothing left to doubt.

Maintaining a serious expression on his face, he continued.

"Although the international situation is calm on the surface, in fact, since the completion of our lunar scientific research base, the unfriendly forces have been making small and big moves, and there has been no real peace for a moment. You should also know about the attack on Biosphere A last year, right? ”

Lu Zhou nodded, indicating understanding.

Director Li: "That's just a minor trouble. ”

Lu Zhou: "What about the big trouble?" ”

Director Li: "According to reliable sources, the United States is planning to take action against our semiconductor industry. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and said with a somewhat strange expression.

“…… Their controlled fusion power station in California doesn't want a core anymore? ”

If it was a few years ago, in the two years before and after he returned to China, maybe there was really such a possibility. China's achievements in the field of information technology are indeed worthy of the United States' action.

But now it's 2022, the third year of successful controlled fusion ignition, and the cross-regional power grid has been paved from southern Xinjiang to the Strait of Malacca......

At this time, even if you want to engage in a technical blockade, the conditions will not allow it.

"Controlled fusion is indeed a card for us, and it is also a card with great lethality, if it weren't for holding this card, it would have come a long time ago."

After unscrewing the thermos cup he carried with him and filling the lid with tea, Director Li took a sip to moisten his throat and continued, "However, for Americans, they have many other alternative options other than executive orders. For example, using market behavior to actively promote the upstream price increase of the semiconductor industry chain, increasing the cost pressure on us in the downstream of the industrial chain, so as to achieve the purpose of weakening us. ”

"In order to prevent problems before they happen, we must take the initiative!"

"I probably understand what you said," Lu Zhou nodded, "So...... What do you mean? ”

"This kind of thing should have been left to the market to decide, but sometimes we can't completely let you figure it out for yourself, often the fighters are lost in waiting," said Director Li, his serious expression eased slightly, took out a document from his bag, and put it on the table.

"Take a look."

As soon as he heard the word "you", Lu Zhou suddenly had a bad premonition.

This old fellow has rarely been so polite to him.

Unless, there is something very troublesome to ask him for.

Feeling this, Lu Zhou, who looked at the document on the table, suddenly had a headache.

Obviously, he had just made up his mind the day before yesterday, and it was not easy for anyone to ask him to do anything before the Riemann conjecture was resolved, and such a big trouble came to the door again.

However, Lu Zhou hesitated for a moment at the old man's earnest and trusting eyes, and finally sighed, reached out and picked up the document, and glanced at it.

When he saw the title, his eyebrows lifted slightly.

"Dragon One?"

"Yes," Director Li nodded, "Please read this document!" ”

Leaning back in his chair, Lu Zhou followed the content of the text and read it line by line.

Although he rarely touches things outside of research, and most of these contracts are thrown to the senior sister to deal with, the content on it is not very complicated, even he can understand it.

In short, it is a "tripartite agreement" led by the Bureau of Science and Industry and guaranteed by an executive order.

In this agreement, the three units involved are Huawei Technology, Star Technology and the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the specific projects involved are Huawei HiSilicon's latest product research and development plan - Longteng series chips.

Different from Kirin and other series of chips, Longteng series chips will completely use the latest carbon-based semiconductor technology, with the goal of achieving corner overtaking in the semiconductor field, and realizing complete autonomy in a series of links from R&D to design to production, completely getting rid of dependence on international chip giants, and creating a complete closed ecological chain around carbon-based chips.

The agreement stipulates the R&D obligations to be undertaken by each party, the ownership and use rights of each part of the patent after the completion of the project, and the expenses to be borne by each party.

The image point is that Star Technology and the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, two top semiconductor research institutions in China, have upgraded together with Huawei to make the Longteng series of chips completely based on carbon-based semiconductor technology as soon as possible, at least a Longteng No. 1.

For Warwick, the benefits of being able to get the help of two top research institutions are self-evident. As for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, because it is a state institution, there is no need to mention the benefits or anything.

For Star Technology, the benefit is clearly listed in the agreement. Including the profit sharing of Longteng series chips, as well as one-time payment of scientific research funds, etc.

"Very interesting proposal," Lu Zhou did not give an immediate reply after putting this agreement on the table, but said after thinking for a while, "I will take this agreement to my CEO to study, and I will give you an answer within a week." ”

"No problem! Even if it's a little longer, it's fine, but if you're not satisfied with anything in the agreement, please let me know directly, and we'll make adjustments after the meeting. Or otherwise, I'll start and find an opportunity for everyone to sit down and have a meal and talk about cooperation. ”

"There's nothing to talk about, in fact, I'm just a scholar, and it's more suitable for me than a wine table or a laboratory," Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "But since it involves cooperation at the business level, I still have to respect my CEO's opinion, after all, there are some things I don't understand, and it's not good to be a blister." ”

After all, this involves not an investment of one or two million, but hundreds of millions of funds, and is related to the future of a complete set of industrial chains.

A hasty decision is not good for anyone.

"Then you study it slowly," patted his big / leg, Director Li took the scientific calculator and stood up with a smile, "The agreement is here, I won't bother here." ”

"You're going back?" Unexpectedly looking at Director Li, who was about to stand up and leave, Lu Zhou, who originally thought that he would have to have lunch no matter what he said, couldn't help but ask, "Go back to Beijing now?" ”

"That's not true, I still have to go to Hubei Province before I go back to Beijing," Director Li shook his head and said with a smile, "The surprise you brought us this time is really too great, and now not only our bureau, but also all departments and units involved in the industrialization of carbon-based semiconductors are very busy." There's still a lot of work to prepare, and I don't have time to delay here. ”

Lu Zhou nodded.

"Then go slowly, I won't send you out."

"Don't be so polite, I'll leave in a moment." Just as he was about to walk towards the entrance, Director Li suddenly noticed the stack of paper papers thrown on the coffee table, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Speaking of which, I've always been curious, what have you been studying lately?" ”

"Oh, you said that," he looked at Director Li's line of sight, and saw the stack of papers that he casually threw on the coffee table, Lu Zhou smiled heartily and replied casually, "It's just about the design of the lithium-air battery, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"Oh, lithium empty battery, you're busy......"

Turning around and taking two steps, Director Li, who had just walked to the side of the entrance, suddenly froze there for a moment.

The next second, he jerked his head back.

"What? What the hell are you talking about? ”

Startled by the old man's sudden turning back, Lu Zhou was stunned.

“…… Lithium-air batteries, what's the problem? ”

…… What's the problem?

Director Li: "??? ”
