Chapter 138: The Rise of Chips (1)

Huang Haojie shook his head and said:

"There is no need to think about power transmission for the time being, the current annual output of superconductors at room temperature is 400~500 tons, and the cost per ton is about 40 million Chinese yuan, which is equivalent to 40,000 Chinese yuan per kilogram."

"The cost is so high?" Du Wei said in a daze.

Su Langwen hurriedly explained: "The electricity bill alone is about 15 billion yuan a year, plus other consumables and equipment maintenance, the annual cost is about 18 billion yuan." ”

Grunt! Wang Bosi and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"In addition, the construction cost of the X-ray base should be shared, and the actual cost should be 60,000 yuan a kilogram." Su Langwen continued.

"This cost is really a bit high."

"It seems that there is really no need to think about power transmission."

"Even the state can't afford it, and it's overkill to use it for power transmission at such a cost."

Of course, Huang Haojie has no plans for the time being, using room temperature superconductors to engage in power transmission.

"Du Wei, you start designing superconducting supercomputing chips now."

"There is no problem, if the circuit material is replaced with a superconductor, we can modify it from the previous supercomputing chip, give me a month, and Xingtu will definitely give a perfect superconducting supercomputing chip solution." Du Wei nodded and reassured.

"Dr. Zhang, you Galaxy Semiconductor, cooperate with Xingtu Company."

"Yes, it is my honor to witness the birth of superconducting chips." Zhang Rujing did not expect that he would be able to see the birth and application of room temperature superconductors in his lifetime.

"Yongdong, you neutron star, is responsible for purifying iron-silver alloys, and purifying iron-silver alloys as much as possible, because this is related to the service life of superconductors at room temperature."

"No problem, I'll do my best." Huang Yongdong hurriedly nodded and reassured.

"Booz, you take care of the overall situation, and we want to make Galaxy Technology greater." Huang Haojie laughed loudly.

"Yes, it's an honor for us to make history." Wang Bosi nodded and agreed.

With Huang Haojie's arrangement, Galaxy Group is running wildly up and down.

……

The three provinces of Zhuge were confused when they received Huang Haojie's order.

Buying silver? And it's up to 5 billion Chinese dollars?

Huang Haojie didn't explain too much, only said that silver is about to become an important industrial raw material for Galaxy Technology, and it will need to be used in large quantities in the future.

Not only does the Mars Group need to acquire a large number of them, but it also needs to find some silver mines for acquisition, mine them themselves and store them in large quantities.

Although he didn't know why Huang Haojie attached so much importance to silver, he knew that Huang Haojie's order must be carried out, and Zhuge Sansheng hurriedly called several people in charge of the group over.

"What is the approximate price of silver this year?"

Hearing this question, the person in charge of the market research department hurriedly said:

"President, the current price of silver is 3.76~3.85 yuan a gram."

"You immediately work out a plan to purchase 5 billion Chinese dollars of silver from international silver producers." Zhuge Sansheng said straight to the point, and after finishing speaking, he added:

"It's to purchase 5 billion Chinese dollars within this year."

Purchasing 5 billion Chinese dollars of silver in a year? At current prices, it is equivalent to more than 1,300 tons of silver.

Even if you invest in precious metals, you don't need to be on a large scale, right? Several of the people in charge looked at each other.

But the three provinces of Zhuge didn't have the idea of explaining to them, but Huang Haojie confessed, quietly entered the village, and didn't want to shoot.

"President, I'm afraid this will cause the international silver price to rise." The head of the market research department reminded.

"I know, but this is the group's grand strategy, which must be implemented, and you will complete the procurement plan as soon as possible." Zhuge Sansheng commanded straightforwardly.

"That'...... All right. ”

A few responsible persons can only take on this task.

……

Haicheng County, HiSilicon chip factory.

Yu Mingguang and others were in the factory.

Five 5nm production lines, Galaxy Precision Instrument Company has debugged them.

These five production lines, which were leased to them by Galaxy Group, are now ready for use.

Next to Yu Mingguang are Zhang Guozhong, president of HiSilicon Chips, and Ma Chang, vice president of supervision of Galaxy Group stationed at HiSilicon Chips.

After more than half a year of revision, HiSilicon finally completed the design of the 5nm Kirin 1000 chip.

Half a month ago, the design plan was handed over to Galaxy Semiconductor for original engraving, of course, this is a fee, and the cost of 5nm chip engraving is 1 million yuan for a layer of circuit.

The Kirin 1000 chip has a total of 45 layers of circuits, so the engraving cost is 45 million Chinese dollars.

Watching the production line run rapidly, the square wafers are fed into the circuit printing machine.

The Kirin 1000 chip designed by HiSilicon is expected to achieve a computing speed of 40 billion operations per second, a 60% reduction in energy consumption, and an 80% reduction in chip heating.

"Mr. Ma, the efficiency of your production line has improved a lot!" Yu Mingguang knew that the annual output of the chip production line at the beginning was only about 23 million.

Now it has increased to an annual output of 43 million pieces.

"Keep up with the times! We can't rest on our laurels! Ha ha! Ma Chang smiled and replied.

"Haha, it's good to keep up with the times!" Yu Mingguang certainly welcomes Galaxy to continue to improve its production line.

After all, a production line needs 100 million yuan in rent a year, and the higher the annual output, the lower the cost of each chip.

In fact, the production cost of Kirin 1000 chips is about 80 yuan a piece, of course, most of the cost is actually the profit of Galaxy Technology, and the real cost is about 15 yuan a piece.

Even so, it is still profitable, and the profit is very large.

"By the way, Mr. Ma, let's discuss how about allocating more production lines to HiSilicon?" Yu Mingguang asked in a low voice.

"Uh...... The matter of this production line distribution requires Mr. Wang's nod, and it is useless for me to say it. Ma Chang spread his hands and said that he could not do anything.

"You know Mr. Ma's current situation, this production line produces more than 200 million chips a year, which is not enough!" Yu Mingguang complained.

"Don't worry! Mr. Yu, by the end of the year, there should be another six or seven more production lines, and Galaxy Precision Instrument Company is already planning to expand production, and it is expected that the output of the production line can be doubled by next year. Ma Chang can only pick up the good ones.

"Next year? It seems that we have to discuss with BGI and let them help with part of the OEM. Yu Mingguang touched his chin and thought.

The main reason for looking for BGI Semiconductor is that BGI Semiconductor has allocated the most production lines, and there are currently eight production lines.

Moreover, Unisplendour is desperately producing memory chips and low-end mobile phone chips, and there is no excess production to give Huawei.

More than six hours later.

The first batch of Kirin 1000 chips finally rolled off the production line.

"Quick, test it." Yu Mingguang was both excited and nervous.

Soon, the packaging and testing department tested the test data.

The yield rate is 100%, the excellent product rate is 81.3%, the yield rate is 17.4%, and the defective rate is 1.3%.

The peak computing speed of the chip is 46.1 billion times per second, and the average value is 42.3 billion times per second.

Unit energy consumption decreased by 64%, and unit heat generation decreased by 82%.

"Haha, good, very good!" Yu Mingguang became ecstatic.

In this data, Kirin chips beat Qualcomm Snapdragon, Sanxin, and Sydney.

Nearly ten times the performance, and now Yu Mingguang just wants to say: I want to play ten!

He couldn't wait to start the development and pretended to be forced, and he was a little excited to think about it.
