Chapter 177: Funds Withdrawn, Enter Semiconductors!

The upgrading of basic science and technology in any field in the world is related to other walks of life.

If you want to know whether the assembly language compiled by Neutron Star Technology Group itself is good, you have to do experiments on the integrated circuits you designed.

Without successful examples, who would believe that Chinese programming compiled by Neutron Star Technology is more suitable for the new era than English?

If the instruction set is written, if the chip wants to be successfully made, it needs a lithography machine, a precision industry, a series of science and technology industries such as chemicals.

Therefore, any technology industry in the world must be related, there is no such thing as independence, and they are entangled and closely related.

"Is it necessary to set up a micro-integration department of related departments?" Professor Li Xianlin asked.

As a master in the field of computers, he naturally knows the predicament of China in the field of integrated circuits.

With the improvement of communication technology, the gradual development of the network, and the acceleration of economic growth, the consumption of electronic products will increase.

The capital consumed by the integrated circuits imported from abroad in China is growing explosively every year, which is really a huge amount of money that makes people feel heartache.

But there is no way, this is the domestic shortcoming.

When domestic companies are researching micron processes, they have already entered the era of nano processes, and the performance of processors has been improved by tens or hundreds of times.

In this case, who will buy an integrated circuit made of micron process?

R&D funds continue to be invested, unable to be recovered, have been losing money, and cannot see profits, and ordinary people have to despair in the face of such a situation.

But the key is that this real core technology is the kind that can never be given up, so you can only grit your teeth and swallow it in your stomach, and chase after it.

Fortunately, there is a physical limit to silicon wafers, and Moore's law will eventually come to an end before the advent of new materials, and graphene, which replaces silicon wafers, is no worse in China than abroad.

This gives us some time to catch up.

......

"Yes!" Zhong Zixing nodded.

"The micro-integration department can't be delayed any longer...... In a few years, when the Ministry of Material Origin made all the patents that could be applied for and reduced the cost of extracting graphene, we did not even design a qualified chip. ”

"At that time, foreign countries were able to manufacture mature new material chips on the graphene we provided, and the hegemony in the field of integrated circuits would have to wait for decades to get their hands on it."

This is not alarmist.

If the Department of Material Origin really reduces the cost of graphene extraction, then should it sell this universal material?

If you use it alone and don't sell it to others, you're afraid you're not killing yourself? And once hidden, who knows if there will be a sudden breakthrough abroad?

This means that once graphene is successfully commercialized, it will inevitably be sold abroad.

And foreign countries are indeed ahead of China in the field of semiconductors for several eras.

At that time, graphene transistors will be launched, but we will not even have a mature chip design, and the consequences can be imagined......

Chen Yufei looked around and found that everyone was seriously communicating or listening, and immediately raised his hand and said: "Mr. Zhong, the talent pool has been created, and I have recently been teaching the personnel department how to use Andromeda to screen all kinds of talents, so if you set up a new department, it will save a lot of time." ”

With Andromeda as the foundation, the capture of talent pool data, coupled with some information provided by cooperative universities, it is easy to make this kind of software that has no technical content but requires a large amount of data.

"Okay, I got it." Zhong Zixing motioned to him.

There are more and more talents, and it will be a huge project to rely on manpower to invite and screen.

And it is not easy to recruit some talents in the field of microelectronics.

If you want to design a chip, you must first understand the basic theory of mathematical models, the basic knowledge of physical equations, master solid state physics, and understand the many and complex knowledge systems such as electronics and integrated circuit design and manufacturing.

Writing instruction sets can be handed over to the Information Technology Department, but everything else must be done.

That's why it is rumored that designing chips is one of the industries with the highest threshold in the world.

What has been learned in this industry is all talents with superior intelligence.

In this era, using machines to extract talent information is much more reliable than people actively collecting it, as long as they can distinguish between true and false news, they can accurately find people out of the crowd.

As for whether there is money or not......

In the past few months, the three giants of China Resources, Sinopharm and Shanghai Pharmaceutical have successfully launched hair growth agents in Europe, the United States and other regions.

As soon as it was listed, it immediately caused a sensation.

Apply it to the missing areas of the scalp and it only takes a week to see a dense layer of fluff growing on the "Mediterranean".

The effect is simply perfect.

After hearing that the bald old man in Europe and the United States used it, he immediately went crazy to the surrounding circle of relatives and friends, and it swept the country and spread to neighboring countries in a short period of time.

Pan Entertainment Group's videos, animation platforms, and Google's YouTube platform have been spread, and countless people are waiting for the drug to be promoted on a large scale.

There have also been several accidents caused by the scarcity of hair growth supplements, and there are not a few people who fight for hair growth agents at the scene.

Driven by this business opportunity, the three major pharmaceutical giants couldn't wait to send representatives to the Department of Life Code to negotiate, hoping to order a large batch of hair follicular wake-upin to produce hair growth agents.

These orders are signed in billions of dollars, which can be called huge profits.

Although the speed of research and development of new drugs in the medical industry is slow, and there are no results in a few years, this huge profit makes Zhong Zixing a little surprised.

At the end of the year, in addition to the Department of Life Cryptography, the authorization fees of the Ministry of Information Technology have also been received one after another.

Now the entire Neutron Star Technology Group has accumulated a huge flow of tens of billions of computing on its account, although it is not as good as the world's top technology giants, but it is enough for Neutron Star Technology to do preliminary research and development.

That is, the current neutron star has temporarily escaped the predicament of lack of funds.

......

After the seminar, after expounding his own opinions and theoretical knowledge, he asked Andromeda to send an email to Wu Wanrou to recruit the best people in the field of semiconductor design.

Zhong Zixing got up and wandered around twice, inspected several major departments, and continued to immerse himself in the experiments of the intelligent laboratory.

He and the technicians in the lab will work together to perfect the theory of the last step of Chinese programming, and then start working on the operating system, the center of the intelligent era.

Time flies quickly, it's December in the blink of an eye, and 2011 is just around the corner.

This year, the goal of Neutron Star Technology Group is nothing else, it is the core of the two electronic fields of designing semiconductors and developing operating systems.

Pan Entertainment Group has just completed its domination in the two fields of social networking and online entertainment in China, and has built a complete ecosystem.

The operating system preconditions have been solved, just waiting for a system that can conquer users to appear!
