There is no doubt that the semiconductor industry in China has changed dramatically.

But in the eyes of foreign counterparts, this great change is completely confusing.

Everyone understands what the ternary system is, but now is 2016, not 1956, when computers were just starting to bloom.

Then it dawned on me and took out the X321 series chips that Xinyuan had been selling for almost a year.

Since the X321 series chips are mainly used in automobiles and use the 28nm process, the major manufacturers that have been working in the consumer market have not paid much attention to it, and now they are completely facing up to this chip that has quietly entered the market.

At this time, Intel, which had been unable to bear it, finally reacted first, and one of its technical directors published a report on the technical analysis of the X32115 chip.

After testing by this technical director, the computing power level of the X32115 chip has surpassed the E5 2600 V4 processor that they are focusing on the server market this year.

And the technical director also speculated that because of the use of symmetric ternary architecture, X32115 can simulate the characteristics of some quantum computers, which has miraculous effects in artificial intelligence computing, which is also the key reason why it can support its XW151 intelligent driving system with the current mainstream computing power.

The core conclusion of the report is: premature life! The resurgence of ternary is much more powerful than binary!

This report instantly caused a huge storm in the industry, and then everyone went to dismantle the chips, anyway, Xin'an Automobile is not a sensitive item to buy casually, resulting in a large increase in Xin'an Automobile's overseas sales.

And after that...... It's an earthquake in the semiconductor industry.

On August 11, Qualcomm President Steve Molunkoff flew to Maple Leaf Country, where 6 foreign mainstream chip manufacturers and 3 foundry companies will hold a "regular" exchange meeting of the world's semiconductor industry.

……

With 22 hours to go before the launch of the Long March 10, Yun Hongjun and the entire R&D team walked in the still-busy assembly building, carefully avoiding the hurried staff.

In addition to them, several other people involved in the Long March 10 part are also there.

At the top, they met the experts of the Four Academies.

The Fourth Academy is a solid propulsion technology research institute, so the question is, solid rockets are more expensive than rush down, what rockets will be used?

Of course, it's some kind of rocket that is small in size and needs to be transported by vehicle, so it is obvious that the main task of the Fourth Academy is to send people to the west.

But the escape tower part is still developed by them, and the new generation of manned spacecraft is different from Lao Ma's second-generation spacecraft, and still continues the escape tower design, as for which one is better, it is difficult to say.

The advantage of the spacecraft's own escape system is that it reduces costs and makes reuse simpler, but the disadvantage is that it increases dead weight and structure.

And the escape tower is theoretically more safe, anyway, it's not too expensive, and safety is good.

But the experts of the Fourth Academy were still very moved when they saw Yun Hongjun: "I really didn't expect that I would be able to participate in the moon landing project in my lifetime. ”

Yun Hongjun knew what he meant, in the early days, the space agency's plan for the moon landing was to use the Long March 9, the successor of the Dawning Project's giant rocket, and one of the old Long March 9 configurations at that time was to use four high-thrust solid rocket boosters, which could definitely be used to land on the moon.

It's a pity that Changjiu has changed to a bare-rod all-liquid engine rocket in order to recycle, and there is no need for expensive solid thrusters.

"By the way, what about Don? Ten long first flights, he didn't come to see? ”

The experts of the Fourth Academy suddenly mentioned Tang Weitian, as a key figure in the development of YF130, it is a little strange not to come and see it at this time.

Yun Hongjun: "Old Tang? He seems to be training, he is about to go to heaven, and he may need to recuperate his body more. ”

“……”

"Mr. Yun is probably not far from the sky, right?"

"Whether I can go up depends on whether the Long March 10 can go up, in fact, I want to sit on the Long March 10."

Yun Hongjun suddenly remembered John Blevens, who had been announced by NACA to send him to the moon as the chief SLS master.

Although I don't know what Blevins thinks, Yun Hongjun feels quite energetic anyway, and being sent to the moon by a rocket of his own design is simply more romantic than poetry.

Regarding Yun Hongjun's Versailles behavior of kicking his nose and face, the rest of the people were full of black lines, and simply changed the topic bluntly:

"I don't know how the YF77 performs, it's 430 seconds better than the rush, but in fact, I can increase the lunar orbit capacity to 50 tons, and burn it for a while."

"Theoretically, yes, but I don't think we should rely too much on the YF77, this is our first open hydrogen and oxygen machine, although 70 tons of thrust is not small, but the structure of liquid hydrogen to the turbine pump ...... Let's hope it's okay. ”

"Problems with the YF77 are trivial, and the YF130 is fine."

"You mean ......"

The YF77 is naturally a trivial matter, because the second stage of the Long March 10 is actually the most ideal YF90, a 220-ton high-pressure refueling liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen engine with a single combustion chamber, so it can also be replaced with a single engine.

If something goes wrong with the YF77, it's easy to find a replacement: the H240.

Xinyuan's 240-ton refueling hydrogen-oxygen engine has flown twice on the second stage of Xinyuan No. 3 and Xinyuan No. 2A, and the reliability seems to be okay, which is considered an alternative.

At the same time, Tang Weitian, who is far away in the HD area, is thinking about the Long March 10, he has nothing to worry about the YF130, the benefit of mediocre performance is that it is relatively stable, but the YF77 can only be said to be 90% okay.

After all, the space agency does have less experience in the high-thrust hydrogen and oxygen engine.

He set himself an alarm clock at 6 o'clock and got up early tomorrow morning to watch the first flight of the Long March 10.

And until late at night and early in the morning, planes continued to land at Qiongzhou and Sanya airports, all of which were temporary additional flights, and they were filled with people who came to see the rocket launches.

Compared with Xinyuan, the appeal of the space agency in people's hearts is still very strong, and the staff of Qiongzhou Airport looked at the full passenger passage, and estimated that the number of people coming to this airport at night exceeded 20,000.

The Launch Authority knows that the crowd around it may exceed 500,000 tomorrow.

Since last year, Qiongzhou's almost year-round uninterrupted medium and large rocket launches have become one of the characteristics of propaganda, basically as long as you stay here for a week to 10 days or so, you can encounter a rocket launch, and the number of tourists is rising.

What's even more surprising is that according to the internal statistics of the customs, among the foreigners who entered the country and intended to go to Qiongzhou to watch the rocket launch, the number of tourists from the island country has surged to 20,000!

20,000 people!

Under the example of Zhang Chuanyong and Xiao Okada, more and more people have traveled to China in the past four months with the intention of staying, from all walks of life.

The news of the imminent maiden flight of the Long March 10 has had no worse impact on the island nation than on the mainland, and even their national television has focused on it in the past few days, and the supporters of Greater Asianism have rapidly expanded.

This time, I came to watch the first flight of the Long March 10 without any organization, all of them spontaneously!
