NACA did not react much to Arbor's outstanding performance in space this year, and his use of the space station to win over the surrounding area and exchange interests.

Or rather, don't know how to react.

Because this year is special, Ao Xiaohei has already imagined in media interviews how he will play after retirement, and he doesn't care about anything at all.

In the past eight years, Xiao Hei has been cutting down Bush's "Constellation" large-scale space program as soon as he came up, torturing NACA to the point of pain and being forced to cut a lot of flesh.

As a result, since the launch of the Artemis program last year, even if Xiao Hei didn't want to, he had to start making additional investments in the space field, and NACA felt that Xiao Hei looked quite pleasing to the eye.

I don't expect more from the next BOSS, as long as I can maintain the current level.

It's not yet July, and the old witch looks like he's going to win, and NACA thinks it's decent and shouldn't have much of an impact on the Artemis project.

As for the blonde old man, it is estimated that the faction does not plan to run, so he casually pushed a part-time elderly idol of a real estate developer to come out, which is not worth paying attention to at all.

……

There has been a strange news in the domestic semiconductor industry recently: ternary chips have been put into practical use, and they are stronger than binary.

Outsiders don't know what they're talking about, and insiders don't understand it, but they scoff at it.

Only a handful of people at the tip really sensed that something was wrong.

It all started in April.

At the end of April, Xin'an's two new cars, a 300,000-level family large SUV and a 150,000-level family sedan, were available for pre-order.

Both models are equipped with a new generation (castrated version) of the XW161 intelligent driving system, which is slightly better than its peers in terms of range and performance.

However, what catches the eye is an announcement that after the cumulative sales of the two models reach 300,000 units, 20 lucky owners will be randomly selected to send space tickets.

This kind of scenario of relying on aerospace companies to do whatever they want makes major car manufacturers very spurned, because they have no ability to fight back.

Only Modu Volkswagen announced that it will also conduct sales statistics for the three models that will be released this year, and will draw four places when the cumulative sales volume reaches 300,000 units.

Where do these 4 places come from? Of course, it's the seat I bought for the new Yuanyu.

Although it is a bit small, and it is a reserved firm number seat, you have to choose to join the machine with others, but mosquito meat is also money, and it can be regarded as a good start.

If every car company wants to compete, in the end, Xinyuan will make money.

A win-win situation belongs to yes.

But that's not the point, the point is what Baidu discovered.

Last year, Baidu began to follow up with Google to do intelligent driving, and the result was that XW151 was so powerful, I quickly bought one and came back to dismantle and dismantle to see, why is this strong intelligent driving system that has entered the practicality so powerful.

As a result, their engineers hit their heads in front of the ternary wall and failed to crack the secret of XW151, so they could only change directions and analyze it stupidly from the hardware side.

When you take apart the motherboard, the first thing you see is the most familiar hard drive.

Micron enterprise-grade solid-state, good stuff, dismantled.

Then looking around the motherboard, Baidu's engineers found an amazing problem:

I have never seen the interface protocol on this motherboard at all, and they are all unfamiliar wiring harnesses!

But looking at the dense logos on the motherboard, it is definitely not a small factory that can make do with it, but has its own set of systems.

After more than half a month of self-doubt, they finally confirmed that the chips to the external components on this motherboard, at least not those that can be bought on the market, should be customized.

What's even more terrifying is that the XW151 system is ternary!

This conclusion was so shocking that they couldn't believe it, and it took them many times to confirm it.

Ternary, how to copy this thing, they don't know what language the ternary code is written in!

In the end, Baidu cooperated with the Microelectronics Laboratory of Modu Jiaotong University to dismantle the X32115 chip and polish it.

That is, the laser is used to erase the package of the chip layer by layer, revealing the innermost part of the circuit, and then the transistor structure is observed with an electron microscope.

In this process, they first determined that this batch of chips was foundry by Huaxin International according to the packaging process, and the core part used the 28nm process, and the periphery was doped with 45nm and 55nm processes, and then found a unique MOSFET structure.

That is, two transistors emulate the principle of a ternary base element, which is very simple, but the lab is still very surprised by this conclusion.

More than 800 million FETs represent a mature EDA design behind this ternary chip, which is the result of more than ten years of efforts by countless semiconductor people!

But where on earth is there an organization that has been conducting long-term follow-up research on ternary components and systems for a long time?

If it weren't for the packaging description of the chip that Huaxin International 28nm foundry manufacturing, they would have wondered if it was an alien product.

Then they asked Huaxin International for verification, and Huaxin International briefly revealed a little bit of information about these ternary chips, and then remained silent.

The X32115 chip has been iterated again, and the production this year is X32116, the process remains the same, but a lot of optimizations have been made, and the power consumption has not increased while the special performance has been enhanced.

And the cost has also dropped, the average price of X32115 is almost 3,000 yuan, and the average price of X32116 is only 2,005, which is much cheaper.

Coupled with other supporting chips and storage devices, Huaxin International has made a lot of money, and it has not made a noise according to the wishes of the owner, so it is very late when it is taken seriously.

Therefore, the Commission of Science and Technology has only now learned from the shocked Baidu and Modu Jiaotong University, as well as the reluctant Huaxin International, that Xinyuan has a mature ternary system for software and hardware research and development, and may have surpassed the current mainstream level.

At present, the world's mainstream chip manufacturing process is still 14nm and 16nm, and 28nm has lagged behind.

As a result, the performance of the 28nm process ternary chip actually exceeds that of the advanced process binary chip?

The Science and Technology Commission first dismantled more than a dozen X32115 and X32116 for analysis, and then conducted a detailed evaluation of XW151.

Receiving the analysis task, there is Fu Weiwu, the leader of the Loongson team.

According to external analysis, the current 3B2000 released by Loongson can already wrestle with the Core i3 550 released in 2010, which is considered ...... At least the prospects are good.

Fu Weiwu was very surprised with the X32116 in his hand, it knew Xinyuan's intelligent driving technology, but this was related to GPU, he thought Xin'an was buying a professional card from Nvidia or AMD.

Then someone told him that the X32116 in his hand was actually a domestic mature ternary processor, and the performance crushed the mainstream deep learning card? And a matching ternary system?

With a skeptical attitude, Loongson and several experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences gathered together to conduct intensive analysis of X32116 and XW151 for more than a month.

Finally, when the Commission of Science and Technology came to ask them if they were sure, Fu Weiwu nodded;

When asked if the performance was strong, Fu Weiwu nodded;

When asked if the ternary design was perfect, Fu Weiwu nodded;

finally asked Fu Weiwu why he didn't speak, and the latter finally spoke:

"This chip has challenged my life values, in my understanding, X32116 and XW151 should not be something that can appear on the earth, at least not so silently."
