Chapter 19: The Animation Storm and the EDA That Must Be Released
People who have not been exposed to industry are naïve to think that it is easy to build or transform an industrial system.
However, this is not the case.
Take Yuan Lin's laser holographic plan as an example, after finally solving the problem of lenses, Yuan Lin found that there were no decoders, optical algorithm processors, and dynamic display engines on the market.
So Yuan Lin ordered the system to start the research and development of display chips, and the design of display chips also requires semiconductor development software, which is also dead.
Due to well-known reasons, EDA technology has always been in the hands of the West, with the intensification of the global confrontation, the West has long severed cooperation with Huaxia, that is to say, Yuan Lin now can't even find the tool software for developing chips, and wants to use the system to re-simulate the development of a set of EDA system.
Yuan Lin himself was depressed about this matter, it was really difficult to do something, only the real front-line scientific researchers could understand that the biggest obstacle to scientific research is often not technology, but ubiquitous politics.
With the current hostile situation between China and the West, even if Yuan Lin gets the EDA and designs the display chip that is needed, it is impossible to find TSMC foundry.
SMIC, known as the strongest in China, has not been able to get 14nm so far, but it has repeatedly made miraculous achievements in reducing engineers' salaries and infighting for management rights.
Not to mention that enterprises like SMIC, scientific research institutes and universities are also rapidly bureaucratizing, and the management of laymen and insiders will inevitably bring about a reduction in efficiency, people are superfluous, everyone is focused on being an official, and fools are going to work hard to engage in R&D.
What should be developed is not developed, and what should not be developed has repeatedly jumped out to insult the public IQ.
In 2011, a man surnamed Xie became an academician, he is a tobacco researcher, and he is good at making cigarettes better to smoke, attracting more young people to join the ranks of smokers, and contributing their lives and taxes to the construction of the motherland.
Later, there was a lady surnamed Wang, who was almost elected as an academician, and this one was a researcher of liquor in Moutai Group.
In short, Yuan Lin has discovered that the gap between ideals and reality is far greater than that from Earth to Europa.
This is by no means just a matter of the West's stuck neck, but why did it go earlier?
Brother Belt alone took away 2 trillion from the financial system, and there are many, many more existences like him, if these money and resources that should not be wasted are used for research and development, as for today, is it so passive.
"Wait for Lao Tzu to have a chance, hum!" Yuan Lin was working overtime while bursting his liver, and he kept chattering.
He figured out that humanity never learns any lessons from failure, and that tossing and infighting are the eternal themes in human history.
Looking at the stars, it is really not right to waste so much energy and time on infighting that there are less than seven billion human beings, so rare, so lonely, and so much energy and time wasted on infighting.
The reason why Yuan Lin knew that the universe was only the earth, a planet where intelligent life lived, was from the knowledge he learned in the future after 5,000 years.
In other words, as of Yuan Wuyi's generation, after a long period of expeditions and exploration, the earth still has not discovered a second intelligent race in the universe.
Such a result made alien lover Yuan Lin very disappointed, but the fact is that even if Yuan Lin is sad, he can only choose to accept it.
In short, the current situation is that Yuan Lin originally just wanted to build a laser holographic system, but he was forced to develop EDA software, and when EDA is done, the ghost knows if he will encounter other troubles.
Come on little by little, the establishment of a super industrial system is by no means an overnight achievement.
At the same time that Yuan Lin fell headlong into the bottomless abyss of semiconductors, good news also came from all directions.
After several months of promotion and running-in, the light-chasing engine finally released its huge power, setting off unprecedented stormy waves in the film and television industry.
Driven by super motion capture technology, the global animated film industry has exploded rapidly, from animated short films in length to two-hour animated movies, with faster and faster updates, better and better quality, and more and more attractive scripts.
Even Yuan Lin himself was deeply attracted by the crazy launch of animated movies, and took out his spare time to chase dramas after work every day.
According to the statistics of the global box office list in September, the proportion of animated films has reached an astonishing 30%, which was absolutely unimaginable in the past.
The full-scale explosion of animated films is a good thing for audiences, back in 2020, Netflix's famous animated drama Love * Death * Robots, just like people showed the unparalleled prospects of animated films, it turns out that cartoons can also do so realistically.
With the advent of the light-chasing engine, the threshold for high-level animated films has been greatly reduced, and only top teams like Netflix or Disney have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to create high-level animated films.
And now, as long as you have a good enough script and creativity, plus a small team of medium level, you can create a work that is not inferior to Netflix.
This makes it possible to start a business at a small cost, and everyone is no longer competing in animation technology, but in terms of plot and character design, as long as you have an unbridled imagination, you can gain a foothold in the animated film industry.
In short, the light-chasing engine has completely exploded the animation industry, and countless new films and high-level animated dramas appear in front of the world every day.
While the animation industry is booming, it has also brought about the rise of the field of virtual idols, squeezing the living space of traditional movies and idols.
Yuan Lin still regrets the decrease in the number of traditional movies, but he definitely supports the suppression of idol artists.
Can you imagine that a blind stream with no culture, a bastard who can't even speak Mandarin, instantly became a national idol because he opened a beautiful face, and he made money every day, and was even held high by Yang Ma and appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.
This person's name is Ding Zhen.
Yuan Lin can't understand so far, even if the grassroots self-media carnival is over, what does it mean for Yang Ma to praise such a blind stream? What kind of values does it want to promote?
Yuan Lin's attitude towards the impact of the light-chasing engine on the traditional film and television industry can be described in one word.
Hum~
He is glad to see that traditional media has been suppressed with unprecedented intensity, to see those fancy idols gradually losing popularity and jobs, and to see a new era of film and television dramas dominated by animation and bursting with imagination.
Lowering the technical threshold, breaking the monopoly of a few people, so that ordinary people can also shoot their own imaginary stories, as an idealist, Yuan Lin likes to see it, and feels that this is the real prosperous era.
……
"An EDA software?"
"Fully automated semiconductor design?"
"Perform unit verification intelligently!?"
"Impossible!"
"Isn't he doing laser holography? Why did you come up with a set of EDAs? ”
A few days later, the global bigwigs held a conference call, and the Chinese delegates smiled happily, while the Western leaders looked confused and shocked.
Yuan Lin found that there was no suitable EDA system, so he built his own...
This is more embarrassing, although the EDA's ban on China has always existed, everything is discussed.
There are no formal channels, but as long as you are willing to add money and go through third-party channels, you can still get an authorized version number, which is expensive and restricted at most.
Everyone originally thought that Yuan Lin would get authorization from the West through Xiao Ma's channels, and this kind of thing was actually very easy for a big man of Xiao Ma's level.
As a result, Yuan Lin didn't say a word, and made a set by himself.
Even if you make it yourself, you can also be advanced, and you will directly leave all the existing EDA software in the world behind, once this thing is listed, it will be a monopoly, fully automatic semiconductor design and verification, and the science and technology circle must be a fryer.
