In April, the CPU chip design team of Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. established an independent subsidiary, named Loongson Design Company.

The first chip brand is: [Kirin].

In a spacious and bright laboratory, members of Loongson Design Company are testing and analyzing data from the Kirin 1 and Z80 chips.

The first CPU they designed, the Kirin 1, was benchmarked against the Z80 chip.

"The Z80 has 9,000 transistors and supports as many as 158 assembly instructions, while the Kirin 1 has 12,000 transistors and supports up to 256 assembly instructions, which is much stronger than the Z80!"

As soon as a researcher finished speaking, a man outside the door cautiously walked in with a cardboard box, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Zhou Qing, what are you holding in your hands, so cautious, for fear of falling!" Someone asked.

Zhou Qing put the box on the table and replied: "This is a 32-bit chip ARM-1 recently released by the British Acorn computer company, this chip is the same as ours, and it is also designed based on the reduced instruction set (RISC)!" ”

It turned out to be a reduced instruction set (RISC) chip!!

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and came over one after another.

Since the complex instruction set (CISC) was developed earlier than the reduced instruction set (RISC), most chips on the market are complex instruction set chips, such as Intel chips.

When everyone heard that some companies also used the reduced instruction set to develop chips, they couldn't help but have a feeling that they were not alone.

"Zhou Qing, hurry up and open the box, let's take a look at what the 32-bit reduced instruction set chip looks like!"

They had just designed an 8-bit RID chip, so they were very curious about the 32-bit RID.

Zhou Qing opened the carton slowly, and a boxy chip smaller than a matchbox lay there quietly, encapsulated outside, and the specific structure could not be seen clearly.

Everyone couldn't wait to pick up the ARM1 chip and put it on the machine in the laboratory for testing.

Soon, the data for the ARM1 came out.

The ARM1 has 25,000 transistors, belongs to the 3um process, runs at 6MHz, is in an 84mm package, is 30mm wide, and the ARM1 motherboard is a yellow ceramic disc capacitor.

A closer look at the ARM1 chip reveals its functional blocks, such as 100-byte registers and a basic 32-bit ALU.

After reading these data, everyone was amazed.

Zhao Ye walked in at this time.

Seeing everyone chatting about this ARM1 with envy, Zhao Ye glanced at ARM1 lightly and said, "This ARM1 chip is really good, but the next Kirin 2 we developed will not be worse than it." Kirin 2 will directly skip the 16-bit chip and directly develop the 32-bit chip! ”

If it weren't for the training of these people, Zhao Ye would have been able to design a 32-bit chip himself, but the workload would be too much.

In the future, it is not possible to design more advanced CPUs alone, which requires a good chip design team.

It is quite necessary to cultivate talents.

Kirin 1 can be regarded as their hands-on production under the leadership of Zhao Ye.

The chip that can really be applied to the PC has to look at the 32-bit Kirin 2.

However, the performance of the Kirin 1 is also quite powerful, surpassing the Z80, which is enough to be used in many fields.

Next is Zhao Ye's class.

This ARM1, he studied it extremely thoroughly in his previous life.

Zhao Ye walked to the blackboard in the laboratory and began to explain the design principles and methods of ARM1 endlessly.

Everyone listened fascinated, and when Zhao Ye talked about some key points, he hurriedly wrote them down.

Zhao Ye couldn't help but nod secretly when he saw that everyone was so studious.

People in the eighties and nineties grew up with hard work, were diligent and eager to learn, and cherished the opportunity to learn very much. In the 21st century, universities are expanding, and many people go to college just to make a living. Often, graduation equals unemployment.

Zhao Ye is really satisfied with the Loongson design team.

They are progressing very fast and take the initiative to work and study overtime almost every day until late at night.

If this is left in the previous life, it is basically impossible, and few people are willing to take the initiative to work overtime, and they are not paid overtime.

The improvement of the BG-101 step-by-step lithography machine is going very smoothly, after all, there is a lot of power in numbers.

The Kirin 1 chip is produced on a small scale in the laboratory with the improved BG-101 step-by-step lithography machine, and the yield rate of the chip production exceeds 87%. Huang Kun and other academicians are currently writing the production process on the basis of laboratory research and development, and then they will carry out trial mass production in the wafer factory.

In the past few months, the changes in the domestic semiconductor industry can be described as thriving.

But in the final analysis, it is better to have a better foundation in China.

In the early 80s, China's semiconductor technology was still at the forefront of the world.

In the past, there was a lack of funds, equipment and materials, and no matter how hard the researchers worked, it was only difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

The wisdom and diligence of the Chinese are in their bones.

In the past few months, the hard-working and hard-working spirit of the researchers of Wujiang Microelectronics Company can't help but make Zhao Ye admire, especially the older generation of scientists, such as Academician Huang Kun, the founder of China's semiconductor technology, who is 76 years old and stays in the laboratory with a group of young people all day to do research.

Otherwise, Zhao Ye was worried about his physical condition and forced him to rest, and he might move the bed into the laboratory and live in it directly.

……

……

"The trial production of the Kirin 1 is about to take place, and it is time for Borderless to enter the game console market!"

Zhao Ye stood in front of the window, looked at the big osmanthus tree outside the window, and muttered to himself.

Knock knock!

There was a knock at the door.

"Please come in!"

Zhao Ye shouted loudly.

Immediately, the secretary Liu Yinyin pushed open the door and walked in.

"Boss, the construction of Wujiang Computer Training University has been completed, and the founding ceremony will be held in a week, President Chen Guoliang please be sure to participate in this founding ceremony!"

"Well, it is natural to participate in such an important thing as the founding ceremony. Anything else? ”

"Yes! Up to now, there are more than 3,600 students, and Imagine print shops are located in large, medium and small cities across the country. Lu Maoshi, the head of Wujiang Investment's department, finally negotiated with the government to realize the investment plan for a paper mill and ink factory. ”

Nowadays, it is difficult to acquire state-owned enterprises, and if it were not for the reputation of Wujiang Company, and it would be difficult to complete this investment plan.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but show joy on his face.

Lu Maoshi reported to him before that he took a fancy to Shandong Sun Paper and Shanghai Peony Ink Factory, and felt that these two companies had more development potential.

Zhao Ye also had to admire Lu Maoshi's vision.

Shandong Sun Paper and Shanghai Peony Ink Factory are both domestic industry leaders in 2024.

Now for only 2.5 million yuan, you can become the majority shareholder of these two companies. Among them, 1 million yuan was spent on investment in Sun Paper, and 1.5 million yuan was spent on investment in Shanghai Peony Ink Factory.

Wujiang has reached 49% of the shares in both companies.

In the future, Wujiang will also find a way to increase its capital and completely control these two companies.

"Boss, if it's okay, then I'll go." After Liu Yinyin finished reporting, she was ready to leave.

"Well, you're going to go about it."

Zhao Ye was in a good mood, walked to the desk and sat down, and continued to think about the game console, how to overturn the mountain of Nintendo......
