"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Mr. Zhong, a good ...... for the New Year"

After returning to the company, the technicians who came back one after another nodded their heads after seeing Zhong Zixing.

There are not so many rules in the company, a group of people who are combined with technology and dreams, all of them are arrogant, it is difficult to expect everyone to be humble and polite, and greet Zhong Zixing just because most people are convinced of him.

Because so far, he has been involved behind the scenes in almost all the projects of several departments that have been established, Sun Communications, Gemini Chip Architecture, Andromeda, Graphene, etc.

And in every project, his role is irreplaceable, which can be called the pinnacle of human knowledge and brainpower, and there are only a few who can compare with it, and there are only a few people who have searched the world.

At the same time, he is also the initiator and leader of the "Interstellar Exploration Program" of Neutron Star Technology.

Nodding all the way, Zhong Zixing returned to the office to close his eyes and recuperate, he had not yet recovered from the holiday.

It's true that I'm a little slacking off these days, crawling around at home with my younger brother and sister, and doing almost nothing.

"Andromeda, is Professor Li back?"

"Professor Li had already returned three days ago, in the Industrial Software Design Zone."

On the big screen in the office, there was immediately a scene of Professor Li spitting in the industrial software area, he was holding a laser pointer and pointing at the big screen behind him, and dozens of industrial software experts from home and abroad sat below.

The efficiency of this discussion group is very high, different opinions collide with each other, and there are new ideas at both ends of the three days.

Coupled with some insights given by Zhong Zixing, the progress is not fast, but there is a lack of accuracy, which needs to be modified for a long time to make up.

"Hmm."

Zhong Zixing nodded, and then looked out the window, dozens of meters away, it was the Neutron Battle Star.

Externally, the exterior of the large sphere is almost complete, all the glass has been inlaid and the arc corridor extending from the sphere leads to the nine Star Ring buildings.

Because the interior is so big, it will take a few months to renovate.

All kinds of experimental materials, instruments, props, and other things cost a lot of money, which is equivalent to rebuilding a neutron battle star or more.

Of course, the current Neutron Star Technology can be called wealthy, and it has long been out of last year's predicament, and the basic experimental instruments are affordable.

"Father, Jiang Zhenwei has arrived in ......"

During his contemplation, Andromeda reminded him, and Zhong Zixing suddenly came back to his senses.

It didn't take long for Jiang Zhenwei, one of the four heads of the microintegration department, to come to the office.

The person in charge is 26 years old after the New Year, belongs to a very young ranks, has outstanding brain power, and has talked to Zhong Zixing about sensor-related problems, but his face is a little bad, and he often has dark circles under his eyes.

"Mr. Zhong......"

"What's wrong? I heard that you didn't go back for the Chinese New Year? Zhong Zixing asked with some curiosity.

He has seen the information of every senior executive of the company with his own eyes, Jiang Zhenwei's family conditions are good, the neighbors get along very well, and his parents are loving.

Some companies take the initiative to take a holiday, and there is no reason not to go back for the New Year.

"Hey...... It's a long story. Jiang Zhenwei's face was full of helplessness, "As soon as I go home, I will go on a blind date, and I estimate that this situation will continue until I get married." ”

"Then go pick one, the company's staff accommodation will be completed soon, and you can bring it to live."

"Besides, I'm a bit of a fuss when I'm with women, and I've tried to deal with one before, but I can't find a common language and I broke up." He didn't care, he had a sense of going with the flow.

Jiang Zhenwei looks good, he is about 1.78 meters tall, his family conditions are also good, he is a high-achieving student, a scientific and technological elite, it should be easy to find a girlfriend, but it is not easy to find a common language and hobbies.

"Just like me." Zhong Zixing gave a thumbs up, then asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

"Oh, yes." Jiang Zhenwei's face narrowed: "All the instruments for chip manufacturing have basically arrived, and in the extreme precision experimental area of the neutron battle star, there are lithography machines, etching machines and other things. ”

Design your own architecture and develop chips, of course, tools such as lithography machines are indispensable, and who knows what is designed without experiments.

Therefore, the company ordered a lithography machine capable of completing the 90nm process.

It's not that I don't want to buy more advanced goods, because Thell entered the ranks of the 32nm process the year before last, and now, two years later, the silicon wafer has not reached the physical limit, Moore's law has not come to a standstill, and the process has risen one or two steps to 28nm.

The real problem is that Neutron Star Technology can't buy it even if it has money.

The Wassenaar Agreement restricts domestic imports of high-precision instruments all the time.

Zhong Zixing's father opened a wafer factory a few years ago, and after more than a dozen investments, he finally bought a batch of sub-micron lithography machines, not to mention the small output, and the foundry list is also small.

In the end, after experiencing the financial crisis, I couldn't resist it, so I could only choose to package and sell it to Lift Semiconductor Power.

Now, Neutron Star Technology has also encountered this difficulty, and there is no choice but to buy a 90nm process lithography machine to use it first, anyway, even if their chips are designed, it is difficult to catch up with the level of high-end chips like Intere and Qualcomm in a short period of time.

Moving forward step by step is the king!

There is no need to be discouraged when you know the gap, as long as there is room to catch up, there is hope.

What's more, the physical limit of silicon wafers is not so easy to break, and the light source is also a big problem.

Neutron Star Technology Group also has a trump card - graphene! There's really no way to have a showdown, so I don't play with them.

Reduce the cost of graphene extraction, even if it lags behind the process of one or two eras, the chip performance can crush silicon chips.

As for the present words.

Wait for the industrial upgrading, the establishment of the Extreme Precision Department, and then to conquer the field of lithography machine.

It is too difficult to build it yourself, and it is still certain that the process will be improved by one or two steps.

The micro-integration part is currently the IC design stage, and the next step is the manufacturing stage of the extreme precision part, which is the thin film, photoresist, development, etching, and de-resistance stage, and finally the cutting, pasting, soldering, and other steps of the package.

Funds are secondary, not to mention the trouble, and it is particularly labor-intensive and time-consuming.

"Let's take a look!"

Zhong Zixing said that he would move, and immediately got up and walked with Jiang Zhenwei, walking up the arc corridor, wanting to go to the extreme precision laboratory in the neutron battle star to have a look!

The two came to the edge of the corridor and chose two balance bikes to travel, and if they walked by themselves, they were too far apart.

These balance car neutron star technology does not have the ability to manufacture it now, and it is imported from the foot basin chicken for the company's technical personnel to use.

Of course, because of the sensors, the performance of these balance bikes is not too good, but there are also rare cases of operation failure.

Stepping on the car together, the two walked side by side, slowly passing through the corridor and entering the Neutron Battle Star.
