Jinling, around 12 o'clock in the afternoon!

Ye Fei drove to the door of his noodle restaurant, and then walked into the noodle restaurant and sat down.

At this moment, it is the time for dinner, and the neighbors in the neighborhood are coming and going, and it is very lively.

Seeing Ye Fei, many people greeted Ye Fei.

"Academician Ye, hello!"

"Academician Ye, rare guest, are you resting today?"

"Xiaofei, my grandson is not good at math, can you tell him how to learn math?"

"Xiao Fei, why did you remember to be here today?"

“……”

Ye Fei is a celebrity in this area, and everyone knows that the old Ye family has produced a literary star.

They don't have a clear understanding of how high Ye Fei's status is, but he can become the youngest academician in the world, and his status must be very high.

Ye Fei smiled and talked to them.

"Son, why are you here?" Ye Mu came out of the kitchen with noodles and was very surprised when she saw Ye Fei.

Ye Fei smiled: "I want to eat the noodles made by our family." ”

Mother Ye shouted to the kitchen: "Old Ye, a bowl of sour and spicy beef noodles, put more beef." ”

Ye Mu knows Ye Fei's taste, and he likes to eat hot and sour beef noodles the most.

"Got it."

Soon, a half bowl of beef noodles was served.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked in from outside.

"Academician Ye, let me find it!" When the middle-aged man saw Ye Fei, he shouted.

Ye Fei turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man in confusion.

The middle-aged man Ye Fei didn't know him.

The middle-aged man walked up to Ye Fei's side, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "The contemptible person is the chairman of Xia Xin International, Qu Guangfu." ”

Ye Fei didn't know Qu Guangfu, but he knew about Xia Xin International.

Xiaxin International is the most well-known and largest chip manufacturing enterprise in Xia, and it is also a leading enterprise in chip manufacturing in Xiaguo.

Ye Fei hissed the noodles in his mouth, sucked them into his mouth, then stood up, shook hands with Qu Guangfu, and said with a smile: "Hello, Qu Dong, please take a seat!" ”

The uncle sitting opposite Ye Fei hurriedly stood up with the bowl and said, "Hey, you sit, you sit." ”

Qu Guangfu smiled: "Thank you!" ”

Ye Fei said: "Has Qu Dong eaten?" ”

Qu Guangfu touched his stomach and said with a wry smile: "Not yet, I came from the magic capital early in the morning, went to the Yuan Blockchain Research Institute, and found that there was no one, saying that you are here, so I rushed here." ”

Ye Fei smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I've been doing research recently, and I forgot about Qu Dong's visit." ”

Yesterday, the assistant and Ye Fei said this, and the chairman of Xia Xin International was going to visit him.

It's just that Ye Fei has been doing mathematical research recently and has forgotten about it.

Ye Fei has recently been proving the Snevily conjecture of odd-order abelian groups.

The Snevily conjecture of the odd-order abelian group is very helpful for the proof of the Riemann hypothesis.

If the proof is successful, it goes one step further to prove the Riemann hypothesis.

At the same time, the Snevily conjecture of odd-order abelian groups is also one of the world's problems.

It is much more difficult than all the problems that Ye Fei has proved before.

If proven successful, Ye Fei estimates that he could win some world-renowned awards.

For example, the Ostrovsky Prize, the Balzahn Prize, the Bevick Prize, the Third World Academy of Sciences Prize, the Faisal International Prize, the Royal Medal, the Kyoto Prize, ......

Qu Guangfu smiled: "It's okay, I took the liberty to disturb it." ”

Ye Fei said: "Let's have a bowl of hot and sour beef noodles, the hot and sour beef noodles here are delicious." ”

"Yes!" Qu Guangfu nodded.

Ye Fei looked at Mother Ye who came out of the kitchen and said, "Mom, bring another bowl of hot and sour beef noodles to this gentleman." ”

Ye Mu looked at Qu Guangfu, Qu Guangfu stood up and smiled: "Hello! ”

Ye Mu smiled: "Hello! ”

After Ye Mu entered the kitchen, Qu Guangfu sat down and said in surprise: "This shop belongs to yours?" ”

"yes!" Ye Fei nodded and said, "It was opened by my parents." ”

Qu Guangfu looked around, and all the seats around him were full.

The area of the store is more than 100 square meters, and there are nine tables in the middle of the store, with a total of more than 60 seats.

The area was only more than 50 square meters before, but after knowing that Ye Fei was rich, Ye Fei's parents stopped saving money.

It just happened that the shop next to it was going to be rented, so Ye Fei's parents waved their hands and bought the shop next to them.

The original shop, Ye Fei's parents, bought it many years ago.

The two stores are connected, with an area of more than 100 square meters.

Qu Guangfu sighed: "Business is very good! ”

"It's okay!" Ye Fei said with a smile.

After a while, Ye Mu walked out with her face, Qu Guangfu hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm sorry for you." ”

Ye Mu smiled: "You eat slowly." ”

Qu Guangfu picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of noodles, and said with a light in his eyes: "Huh? It's good for you! ”

Ye Fei smiled: "It's good if you like it." ”

"Academician Ye, I'm not going around the bush anymore." Qu Guangfu said: "I would like to invite you to our company to develop chip technology. ”

Ye Fei frowned slightly and said, "Chip technology? ”

"Can you tell me about the current status of Xia Guo's chips in the world?"

Ye Fei's understanding of the chip situation in Xia Guo was all told by a group of semi-expert people.

The real details, he doesn't know very well.

Qu Guangfu said: "Yes! ”

"A chip needs to be designed, packaged and fabricated."

"China's chip design level is basically the same as that of the world, there is a gap of four to five years in the level of packaging technology, and the gap in manufacturing technology is about three and a half years."

"However, this is speaking of the international average."

"As the world's largest consumer of semiconductors, China's chip consumption demand is half of the world's chip consumption, and in recent years, chip imports have surpassed oil, reaching 230 billion US dollars, becoming the largest import commodity category in Xia."

"If you don't talk far, let's talk about your Meta Blockchain Research Institute."

"Your Meta Blockchain Research Institute, if you want to develop Web3.0, you must use chips!"

Ye Fei nodded, it was true.

If there is no chip, Web 3.0 will not want to develop.

"The global semiconductor market has a scale of up to 340 billion US dollars, and Xia Guo manufactures 1.2 billion mobile phones, 370 million computers, and 150 million color TVs a year, firmly occupying the first place in the world, consuming 59% of the world's chips every year."

"Among them, the market share of Xia Guo chips is more than 10%, which means that more than 90% of Xia Guo chips rely on imports."

Ye Fei's expression was very serious, he didn't expect the situation to be so grim.

Chips are used in many fields, such as mobile phones, automobiles, computers, home appliances, medical equipment, industrial automation, security systems, and aerospace.

With such a large demand for chips in Xia Guo, it is the largest category of imported goods.

If you are slightly stuck by others, many areas will be restricted.

"Among them, the highest-end chip that China can manufacture is 14nm, and the smallest chip that can be manufactured by countries in the world is 5nm."

Ye Fei nodded.

The chip is not the smaller the better, but the right fit.

5nm and 7nm chips are mainly used in mobile phones, and the market demand is not very large.

The 14nm chip is the most widely used and most demanded among all chips.

For example, high-end consumer electronics, high-speed computing, low-order power amplifiers, fundamental frequency, AI, new energy vehicles, and computers.

Therefore, Xia Guo cannot manufacture 5nm and 7nm chips, except for mobile phones, the rest of the fields will not be affected.

"Of course, although China can manufacture 14nm chips, our goal is to develop chips to 7nm or even 5nm."

"Also, the quality and output of the chips manufactured are not very good."

"It can even be said that compared with the 14nm chips in the world, the quality is very poor."

"Therefore, if you want high-quality chips, you can only import lithography machines from the Netherlands."

"The output is far from meeting domestic demand, and a large number of chips need to be imported from abroad."

"Therefore, my country is not only not good in technology, but also in terms of output."

"And, since a lot of the technology is on loan from abroad."

"If they don't lend us a certain technology, our chips can't be produced."

"We are short of core technology, we have a big gap in talents, in market competition, international competition is fierce, and the quality of China's chips is not good."

Qu Guangfu shook his head again and again, and said tiredly: "It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult, it's too difficult." ”

"Xia Guo still has a long way to go if he wants to break the game from chips."

Ye Fei pondered for a moment and asked, "How can Xia Guo break the game from the chip?" ”

Qu Guangfu said: "If you want to break the game, you have to start with the 14nm chip." ”

"It is necessary to develop a lithography machine that can manufacture high-quality 14nm chips."

"And mass production can be realized, which can meet at least 25% of domestic chip demand."

"If 70% of the demand can be met, then my country will have no worries about chips."

Ye Feidao: "What are the main technical dilemmas? ”

Qu Guangfu said: "In terms of design, we lacked architecture and EDA software. ”

"None of the companies in Xia Guo have an architecture, and all of them use foreign architecture technology."

"EDA software is also basically used abroad, and domestic EDA software is still much worse."

"In the manufacturing field, we only have ion etching machines, and others like lithography machines are very backward."

Manufacturing chips requires not only lithography machines, but also ion etching machines, ion implanters, reactive ion etching machines, and wafer dicing machines.

"And some raw materials are even more backward, such as photoresist and high-purity silicon."

"As for the packaging field, because the threshold is not very high."

"We can barely meet all aspects."

"China now only has some technology, talents and ion etching machines in the field of chips."

"What China lacks is chip architecture, EDA software, raw materials and lithography machines and other equipment."

"If foreign countries do not authorize our chip architecture, EDA chips cannot be used, raw materials are restricted and equipment such as lithography machines cannot be imported."

"Then we won't be able to make chips, and many industries will be limited in their development."

Ye Fei frowned, and said with some irritability: "There are too many things missing!" ”

"yes!" Qu Guangfu nodded and said helplessly: "Actually, the lack of so many technologies is not what worries us the most. ”

"After all, it is now global integration, and no country can handle all the upstream and downstream industries of chips."

"Even the North Ray Kingdom, the Eastern Wing Kingdom, and the Korea Kingdom can't do it."

Ye Fei nodded, yes, chips are a very complex and ultra-high-tech industry.

No single country can handle all the upstream and downstream of chips.

Even if the chip can be manufactured completely independently, the quality of the chip produced is certainly not very good.

As for global cooperation in the manufacture of chips, your own country's technology in some aspects of the chip is not the best, and you can cooperate with other countries that have the best technology.

In this way, the quality of the chips manufactured is the best.

"What worries me the most is that my country is the best in any field of chips, and it can do it to others."

"Only someone else stuck with us."

Ye Fei asked: "How strong is the chip technology of Beili Kingdom?" ”

As far as Ye Fei knows, Beili Guo's chip technology is very strong, and all countries in the world rely on Beili for chips.

Qu Guangfu said: "Beiliguo's chip technology is very strong, half of the world's chip market is controlled by Beiliguo, and 90% of the high-end chip market is controlled by Beiliguo. ”

"In addition, the equipment, materials, EDA, etc. of chip manufacturing are in a monopoly position in Beiliguo."

"In terms of chip technology, Beili is at least 30 years ahead of China."

Ye Fei was terrified when he heard it, he knew that Beili Guo's chip technology was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

"Even if Beili stops its progress now, it will take at least 15 years for our country to catch up."

Ye Fei shook his head and sighed: "It's really too strong." ”

"yes!" Qu Guangfu's face was complicated.

Ye Fei said: "But our current situation is not to catch up with Beiliguo, but to do the best in a certain field of chips, and even if possible, to be able to card others." ”

"Yes!" Qu Guangfu nodded.

Ye Fei said: "Actually, we don't need to compete with Beili in the field of chips. ”

Qu Guangfu looked at Ye Fei suspiciously.

Ye Fei smiled: "You forgot, we have carbon nanotubes and high-purity graphene, we don't need to develop on silicon-based chips, we can change lanes to develop on carbon-based chips." ”

"There shouldn't be any country that can make carbon-based chips!"

Qu Guangfu's eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement: "Yes." ”

Ye Feidao: "They can't mass-produce carbon nanotubes, but we can." ”

"Then we can make carbon-based chips."

"An area that has no competitors, but the market prospects are very large."

"We make carbon-based chips, and we can achieve a monopoly position."

"Even if foreign energy produces carbon nanotubes in the future, we can also take advantage of this gap to continuously push carbon-based chip technology upward."

"In this way, we can always be in a monopoly position in the field of carbon-based chips."

"Moreover, carbon-based chips can make all the chips that exist, and they can also make micro and nano chips."

"Micro and nano chips can be used in mobile phones and computers."

"It is one of the core technologies of the next generation of supercomputers."

"Without it, supercomputers wouldn't have existed."

Qu Guangfu was very excited when he heard it, and said with a smile: "You're right, it's my vision that is limited, and I've been staring at silicon-based chips all the time." ”

"China has carbon nanotubes, there is no need to stare at silicon-based chips, and we should change lanes and take the road of carbon-based chips."

"This allows us to change lanes and overtake."

Ye Fei smiled: "That's right. ”

"However, according to what you said, we still have to develop a lithography machine suitable for carbon-based chips first."

"Without a lithography machine, even if we wanted to make carbon-based chips, we wouldn't be able to make carbon-based chips."

"At the same time, in order to avoid getting stuck in technology, we also have to develop chip architecture and EDA software."

"Hmm!" Qu Guangfu nodded and said, "You are right, we can't do without lithography machines, chip architectures and EDA software." ”

"If you don't have one of these three."

"Even if we make carbon-based chips, foreign countries can card us from these three technologies."

"That's right." Ye Fei said: "Especially in Beiliguo, there are some faceless and skinless, I definitely don't want to see us have carbon-based chips, and I don't know what will happen when the time comes." ”

"So, we must be prepared."

"Yes." Qu Guangfu said: "Academician Ye, it seems that it is right to come to you today, I hope you can cooperate with us and lead us to develop chips to help my country become a world chip power." ”

Ye Feidao: "Do you know that the country is building a scientific research institute for me?" ”

"I heard." Qu Guangfu said.

Ye Fei said: "If you want to cooperate with me, you have to sign a contract with the Academy of Science, and the benefits generated after that will also belong to the Academy of Science." ”

"Yes!"

As long as Ye Fei can help them, Qu Guangfu doesn't care who he signs a contract with.

Of course, when you sign a contract with a scientific research institute, the price will definitely be higher.

But Qu Guangfu doesn't care, it's normal for a talent like Ye Fei to have a higher price.

Ye Feidao: "The scientific research institute has not yet been built, but I will find a professional person to connect with your company." ”

"Good!"

In fact, with the Science Research Institute, Ye Fei saved a lot of effort.

In this way, if any research institution wants to lease him in the future, it can take the route of the Academy of Science.

And he can find professionals to connect with these research institutions.

He doesn't have to worry about anything.

Moreover, except for the operating costs, all the other revenues in the scientific research institute belong to Ye Fei.

The state did not take a penny from this.

After all, the National Academy of Construction Science was given to Ye Fei.

Let Ye Fei gain benefits and increase Ye Fei's status and reputation in the academic world.

Ye Fei looked at the remaining half bowl of noodles and it was cold, and the two talked here for nearly an hour, and the noodles barely moved a few chopsticks.

Ye Fei smiled: "Your noodles are also cold, give it to me, I'll help you warm it up." ”

"No more trouble." Qu Guangfu said with a smile.

He was not hungry anymore with excitement, and just wanted to go back immediately and let people come to connect with Ye Fei's scientific research institute.

Ye Fei picked up the noodle bowl for the two, and then went into the kitchen to let Father Ye heat it up.

Father Ye said: "What's hot, you let the big boss of the family still eat leftovers, I'll make you two more servings, and give you a few cold dishes." ”

Ye Fei said: "Don't be so troublesome. ”

"You kid." Father Ye glanced at Ye Fei: "It's a good guy who is the boss of a big company, I heard what Xia Xin is about him, and I heard that he is a very big company in Xia Guo." ”

Ye Fei said: "Xia Xin International! ”

"Yes, yes, Xia Xin International." Father Ye said: "Son, I heard that he came to you and asked you to help do research, how much money did he give you?" ”

"I don't know!" Ye Fei shook his head and said, "I won't know until we talk about it later." ”

Soon, Father Ye sent them hot and sour noodles with half a bowl of beef for two nights, and gave them a plate of braised beef, a plate of braised mutton, a plate of stir-fried lotus root slices and a dry pot cabbage.

Ye Fei said: "Qu Dong, come and try it, these are the dishes that our noodle restaurant is good at." ”

"Okay!"
