Midsummer, suddenly.

The college entrance examination is over, and I will say goodbye to the life of a sea of books.

Young and immature teenagers, ushering in the longest vacation of their lives, in the early morning basketball court, afternoon garden and evening commercial street, wanton youth.

The scorching sun shone on the asphalt road, filling the air with a hot breath.

"Mengmeng, today's temperature is too high, you go home and rest for a while, and come over to help later."

The mother looked at her daughter's red cheeks and persuaded in distress.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the heat."

Jiang Mengmeng shook his head, and the anthropomorphic Ai sound effect came out of the speaker of Moss glasses.

Two months ago, her father went to Kangaroo Island to deliver food and pay for her school fees.

Although every time he called, his father always looked happy, and kept telling the mother that he didn't need to save too much, he could make money there, but in a foreign country, how could he not endure hardship.

Therefore, in order to alleviate the financial pressure on her father, her mother set up a simple food stall in the open space at the back door of the community - iron plate tofu.

The tender tofu is fried until golden brown on both sides, smeared with a secret sauce and sprinkled with lush coriander segments, which is moderately salty and spicy, and is very popular with students and migrant workers.

Business is also booming, earning 200 yuan a day, but now it is dog days, standing in front of the stove, like a scorching fish, the sweat on his face can't be stopped.

"Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot!"

The phone in your pocket rings suddenly!

Jiang Mengmeng glanced at the caller number, and then chose to use Moss Ai glasses to connect the phone: "Hello, Teacher Zhang." ”

"Jiang Mengmeng, congratulations, you are the first in our science score this year, with a total score of 687 points!"

Teacher Zhang directly explained his intentions and spoke softly.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

Jiang Mengmeng immediately showed a surprised expression, this score is enough to apply for HKUST, and her dream can finally come true.

"Mom, my college entrance examination results are out, 687 points!"

Jiang Mengmeng immediately turned around and told her mother the good news.

"Wow! That's amazing! Girl! ”

The mother put down the shovel excitedly, the excitement was indescribable, and she grinned, but her eyes gradually turned red, stained with tears of joy, and fell downward.

Seeing this, Jiang Mengmeng's nose was sore, and he stepped forward to hug his mother.

A few days later.

The search term "glasses sister 687" rushed to the hot search in one fell swoop, and netizens found out that the little girl who was popular in Weibo before had such a high score in the exam, and she really had the qualifications to study at HKUST.

"I also want to apply for HKUST, but they say that the credit score of Fortune Treasure can't be counted!"

"Love, love, love, such a lovely sister, you want to be good-looking, you have to be knowledgeable!"

"Chen Hansheng, the senior of the 15th Department of Computer Science, watched with his real name, the senior may wish to leave a contact information, and the senior will receive you in person when the school starts."

"Sister, you must not give it! Upstairs doesn't look like a good person! ”

Jiang Mengmeng ignored the heat on the Internet, and still went out early and returned late every day to help her mother take care of the food stall.

……

After Chen Heyu found out, he asked the heads of more than a dozen companies such as Kangaroo Flash, Future Technology, Shanhai Microelectronics, Shanhai Film and Television, Super Factory, and Moss Electronics to begin to count the college entrance examination results of employees' children.

As long as the total score exceeds the score line, the company will reward 100,000 Chinese dollars;

If the score line exceeds the two, 50,000 Chinese dollars will be awarded;

If you exceed the score line of three books, you will be rewarded with 10,000 Chinese dollars;

And this provision is directly written into the employee handbook and becomes a fixed part of the salary and benefits.

After dealing with this matter, he pushed open the office door and walked into the elevator room, which went straight to the lobby on the first floor.

"Lao Mo, send me to the Shanhai Microelectronics R&D Center."

He commanded at Ding Mo.

"Okay, boss."

Ding Mo hurriedly got up and beckoned back, and several men in suits with sturdy bodies followed silently behind him.

After the establishment of Shanhai Security, thousands of people have been recruited, they have rich experience in the army, after professional training, slightly weaker ability sent to Shanhai's companies and factories, responsible for daily security work.

The elite with excellent skills and driving skills are sent to the beautiful country to receive more complex and comprehensive knowledge of shooting, fighting, first aid and medical treatment.

It took more than half a year for Lao Mo to select the eight best candidates to serve as Chen Heyu's personal bodyguards.

The blue Musanne leads the way in front, followed by two BMW SUVs.

Not for a while.

The headquarters building of Shanhai Microelectronics slowly came into view.

Noyce, Wu Maozhe, and Xie Shengdong went to the front line of chip manufacturing to help factories improve the process and improve the yield rate of 10-nanometer chips.

In the blink of an eye, four months have passed, and some results have finally been achieved.

Although Neuss has designed 10nm chips at Pickaxe, design and manufacturing are two different things, because chip circuit diagrams can be designed based on theory and simulation, without being limited by the actual manufacturing process.

However, in actual production, it is necessary to take into account the limitations of process technology, such as lithography technology, deposition technology, etching technology, etching technology, etching technology, and these technical shortcomings may have an impact on the circuit structure and performance.

At the same time, deviations in materials and changes in process parameters can create manufacturing tolerances, resulting in circuit performance that is different from what was expected at the time of design, requiring more optimization and adjustment.

In addition, the resolution of lithography technology and the physical properties of materials will also affect the transistor structure and computing performance of the chip.

Just like the Pickaxe Snapdragon 825 chip, the design draft came out for half a year, but it failed to achieve mass production.

The core reason is that no company can provide high-quality and reliable OEM services.

Sanxing, Wanji, Intel and other companies only master the 14nm production process, and the 10nm manufacturing process is not mature at all.

After getting out of the car, Chen Heyu walked straight into the hall on the first floor and met He Tingbo head-on.

"Good afternoon, boss, I'm going to the factory now."

He Tingbo explained.

"Well, got it, Noyce and Lao Wu are they, in the office or in the laboratory?"

Chen Heyu asked casually.

"In the packaging and testing department of the R&D center, the first batch of samples of Shanhai M-4 chips has just been made, and they are busy testing performance and power consumption indicators."

He Tingbo replied.

"Okay, you can get busy first."

Chen Heyu bowed slightly, and couldn't help but look forward to it, Ye Youcheng, this kid, is fast enough.

The company's 10nm production process is not mature enough, and he built Shanhai M-4 based on the 10nm process design.

When he stepped into the packaging and testing department, a group of people were surrounding a logic analyzer, capturing and analyzing the level, timing, and data flow of the signals inside the chip, so as to detect and debug logic errors in the chip and verify the processor function.

Next to it are oscilloscopes, signal generators, pyroelectron microscopes, and power analyzers, all of which are important physical tools used in chip design and testing, providing detailed data and analysis to help chip designers evaluate and improve the performance of chip processors.

Hearing the movement at the door, everyone slowly raised their heads, and when they saw that it was Chen Heyu, they greeted with a smile.

"Boss!"

"Mr. Chen!"

"Sit down and say, how's it going?"

Chen Heyu asked straight to the point.

"Wu, come on."

Noyce humbly conceded.

"Of course you have to come to Xiaoye, he is the chief engineer and designer."

Wu Maozhe waved his hand, smiled and declined, and pushed Ye Youcheng out on the side.

"Then Ye Gong, let's talk about it, are you still satisfied with your new work?"

Chen Heyu didn't think about it and teased.

"Boss, just call me Xiaoye."

Ye Youcheng grabbed his messy hair and said with a smile, his expression was a little restrained, which was very different from the star chip designer at the chip press conference.

Only when it comes to professional skills, is that high-spirited genius!

"Lao Wu, next time I hear you call someone Xiaoye, I have to deduct your bonus, be polite in the future, call Ye Gong!"

Chen Heyu patted Ye Youcheng on the shoulder and criticized Wu Maozhe.

"Don't you still call me Lao Wu?"

Wu Maozhe pursed his lips and said unconvinced.

The rest of the people covered their mouths and laughed, and when they saw that Lao Wu was deflated, they looked like they were gloating.

"Boss, it's Shanhai M-4, using the self-developed 64-bit core architecture Kimi, this time completely abandoning ARM's Cortex architecture."

Ye Youcheng picked up a microprocessor and put it in front of Chen Heyu.

"In terms of CPU performance: it is equipped with a new Kimi generation and adopts a three-level architecture of 1+3+4.

One Kimi-X1 core up to 2.84GHz provides excellent single-core performance, three Kimi-A60 cores provide efficient multi-core performance, and four Kimi-A55 cores are used for light-duty tasks to reduce power consumption.

In terms of GPU performance: The integration of the NVIDIA Tegra K16 has significant improvements in graphics rendering, gaming performance, and video processing, and supports higher refresh rates and higher-resolution displays.

AI and machine learning acceleration: Equipped with the Jetson TX16 AI engine, it can provide powerful AI computing power for mobile phones and support efficient neural network inference acceleration, which can be used for AI applications such as image recognition, speech recognition, and augmented reality......"

Ye Youcheng said unhurriedly.

It can be said that Shanhai M-4 is Shanhai Microelectronics, a cross-era product in the true sense, at least in terms of performance and power consumption, it has reached the flagship level of Intel and Pickaxe.

"Lao Wu, what is the yield rate of the 10nm process now?"

Chen Heyu turned his head and asked.

"72 percent, still not 80 percent."

Wu Maozhe said with a little regret.

"It's enough, let's produce a batch first and supply it to Rice Technology."

Chen Heyu nodded, the yield rate of 72%, compared with 53% half a year ago, has risen by nearly 20%.

In a short period of time, lithography technology, chemical vapor deposition technology and etching technology cannot make major breakthroughs, and the yield rate will not be greatly improved.

"Let the packaging and testing department submit a performance test report, which needs to cover processing performance, floating-point operation performance, multi-threaded performance and performance data.

Chen Heyu explained.

"Boss, I see."

The person in charge of the sealing and testing department agreed.

Subsequently.

Chen Heyu pulled a group of people and held a brief meeting, and after the end, he called Rebus and informed him in advance, preparing to carry Shanhai M-4 chip on Mi's new mobile phone next year.

As for the more mature Shanhai M-3 chip processor, it will be used in Mi's mid-range price point mobile phones.

"Has the land for the rice automobile factory been approved?"

He asked.

"Secretary Wu mediated from it, won 1,400 acres of industrial land, start construction next month, I am ready to build a battery factory first, and cooperate with Lucheng Jiu'an Automobile Company in the early stage to achieve mass production as soon as possible."

Rebus replied softly.

"1400 acres? Is it enough? ”

Chen Heyu asked rhetorically.

The rice automobile factory, settled in Lucheng, has his willingness to be involved, Secretary Wu is willing to actively assist, help with the process, get the land, supporting facilities, water and electricity supply and preferential policies, is also the key factor.

"It's enough, and if it's bigger, the cost of land is too high, and it will also cut the company's net profit margin accordingly."

Rebus pondered for a moment and said leisurely.

"Okay, there will be progress and then synchronize with me."

After Chen Heyu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Mr. He, make an appointment for me to meet Lu Lei, the president of Pinghua Dahua District, and tell him that there is a big business to discuss."

Before Chen Heyu left, he asked He Tingbo to arrange it.

According to his understanding, in the current world, most semiconductor companies and mobile phone manufacturers with independent chip research and development capabilities have chip design solutions involving 10 nanometers in their hands, but they have not been able to find a suitable foundry.

Lao Mo drove him back to the villa area, he pushed the door and got out of the car, only to see Cha Mi fart coming over.

"Wang~Wang!"

"Stupid dog, you know how to bark."

Chen Heyu kicked away in disgust, took off his coat as he walked, and hung it on the hanger.

"You're back? Sit down and eat. ”

Luo Wenwen said with a smile.

"I went to Shanhai Microelectronics, and the Shanhai M-4 chip was finally made, and it was the last step away from the realization of independent chips for domestic mobile phones."

He washed his hands, sat down, and started chatting.

"Rice and Lianxiang will definitely support you, if you can win Huayao, the Dahua market will definitely be fine."

Luo Wenwen thought for a moment and said softly.

"Huayao? It is estimated that it is enough, and eighty percent will choose to design it by themselves, and then find Shanhai Microelectronics foundry. ”

Chen affirmed that he knew Bao Jianbai and Yu Dong's style well.

"Unless, in terms of performance and battery life, there is a huge technical gap between their self-developed chips and Shanhai M-4, so that these people can see the reality clearly."

Chen Hayu added.

"Then wait a little longer, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys."

Luo Wenwen encouraged.

The IPO prospectus of 32 Cafe has passed the review, and with the efforts of Li Ran, Wu Jingjing and others, it will be successfully listed at the end of June.

"After the 32 cafe is listed, hand over the daily operation management to Li Ran, and you can take the opportunity to rest for a while."

Chen Heyu persuaded him.

"What? You want me to be your little daughter-in-law at home. ”

Luo Wenwen squinted her eyes, like a beautiful crescent moon.

"I'm afraid you're working too hard, you see that we've been working hard for so long, and there is no movement at all, so it's better to recuperate for a while.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to take you for a run so you don't have to sleep all day. ”

Chen Heyu said with a straight face.

"If you don't run, okay?"

Luo Wenwen pouted and said coquettishly.

"No way!"

Chen Heyu knocked lightly on the door of her head and persuaded her: "It's better to exercise, otherwise sitting in the office every day, your cardiopulmonary function will get worse and worse, I'm afraid that in the future, you will leave earlier than me." ”

"Phew! You're just leaving! ”

Luo Wenwen retorted, but she also knew in her heart that Chen Heyu was right, so she nodded slightly, which was considered to be a promise.

……

The next morning, the east was white.

Chen Heyu walked into the bathroom with Luo Wenwen in his arms, urged her to brush her teeth and wash her face, and when she was in a daze, he took her to run five kilometers hard.

"The foundation is not bad, just keep persisting."

He commented with a smile.

"That's, it's just that my hands and feet are a little sore, you can help me massage when I go back."

Luo Wenwen said coquettishly.

Chen Heyu didn't speak, gently rubbed her head, took out her mobile phone, and saw the message sent by He Tingbo, and suddenly had a bottom in her heart.

Within a few days, Ping Jing quietly sent the electronic technical documentation of the A11 Bionic chip to Shanhai Microelectronics.

It didn't cause the slightest wave in the outside world, but it exploded in the circle in an instant!

Shanhai Microelectronics actually took the lead and mastered the manufacturing process of 10-nanometer chips, and the heads of Sanxing, Wanji and other companies were in a complicated mood for a while.

"Boss, should we hand over the business of Snapdragon 825 to the other party?"

The president of the Dahua District of Hotong reported back to the headquarters.

"Wait and see which way the wind blows."

Chairman of the pickaxe pass, Amon said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid not! Sanxing is on the way to the headquarters of Shanhai Microelectronics! ”

The president of Dahua District smiled bitterly.

"Walter?!"

Amon was stunned for a moment, and his heart was filled with deep worry.
