Rewrite the Technological Landscape

At the end of November, Lee Jae-yong returned to Samsung, but his previous efforts in the neon country had no effect, and the neon country company fell into a strange mood.

On the one hand, they are really afraid of Dafeng Group. After all, it is Huaxia's company, and Huaxia still knows how they cheated them back then.

On the other hand, I really feel that it is very cool to cooperate with Dafeng Group. As long as an equivalent exchange is given, Dafeng Group never hides its leading technology. Usually, it is as difficult as Chixiang to go to the United States to acquire some advanced technology.

Going to ASML to buy a lithography machine has to sign an agreement with Intel. Going to Shanghai Weidian Technology to buy a lithography machine has nothing to do, how comfortable it is.

It was this kind of entanglement that made the Neon Country fall into silence.

Let's see what the United States will do next.

Meng Qian also returned to China at the end of the month. This time, Meng Qian was invited to go straight to the 772nd Institute of the Ninth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

The 772 Institute is the place where aerospace chips are made. Beidou can achieve 100% autonomy, and it cannot do without Godson, and it cannot do without the 772 Institute.

In Institute 772, Meng Qian not only met Zhao Yuanfu, the director, but also Hu Weiwu from Loongson. In addition, Meng Qian also met another localized "stubborn cow", a domestically produced Kirin system engineer, from the National University of Defense Technology Kong Jingzhu, the future CEO of Kylin Software.

Seeing these three together, Meng Qian couldn't resist asking for a group photo.

Zhao Yuanfu first took Meng Qian to briefly understand the special features of aerospace chips, "The key reason why aerospace chips are so difficult is because of the harsh environment in outer space.

In the outer space environment, due to the loss of the protection of the earth's magnetic field, once the high-energy rays in the universe irradiate the chip, it will affect the charging of the diode.

For example, when the α-ray bombards the chip, the original 0 will become 1. Similarly, when the β-ray bombards the chip, the original 1 will become 0. In this way, the diode is completely overturned, and the chip will enter a state of confusion.

This is why the manufacturing process of civilian chips is getting smaller and smaller, but aerospace chips are not following up, because the smaller the manufacturing process, the easier it is to be overturned in outer space. "

Meng Qian nodded, "If my understanding is correct, the so-called dry flip in the chip field refers to the meaning that it can return to its original state after the external force is removed?"

"That's right, so the nuclear reaction is more terrifying in outer space. High-energy particles can collide with air to produce high-energy neutrons. Because neutrons are not charged, they can easily approach the nucleus, and then collide with the nucleus to produce various ions.

These generated ions will act as carrier generators on the silicon base, generating a large number of electrons and holes in a local area of ​​the silicon, and in serious cases, the entire chip will be useless. "

"That is to say, the top priority of aerospace chips is protection."

"Yes, the core problem of aerospace-grade chips is not performance but how to protect it.

I saw a comment on the Internet not long ago, saying that the performance of the processor of Hongmeng 4 has surpassed the performance of the aerospace chip that the United States landed on the moon, and various interesting comments appeared.

Indeed, in terms of pure performance, the M4 has indeed surpassed the performance of the aerospace chips that the United States landed on the moon, but comparing civilian chips with aerospace chips is not something that can be compared horizontally from the beginning. "

Meng Qian followed up with a smile, "That's why I often tell my teachers that we should do more science popularization work, because ordinary people know too little, and they are prone to various misunderstandings.

Just like some people have always thought that a chip company can only do design but not have its own fab, it is rubbish, and I don’t know how Qualcomm feels when it hears this. "

The four looked at each other and smiled, and Meng Qian immediately asked, "I heard that when the 772 Institute first started working on this project, it was blank?"

"It's true. To tell you the truth, when we first started this project, we didn't even have a direction, and we didn't know what to do the next day. But it's such a project that started completely from scratch but gathered a group of top scientists in China. And many of them came voluntarily.

Because this project has a magical attraction, it can give us a sense of personal achievement, it is an excellent scientific research project, and at the same time, it can help our country no longer be restricted by others in this field and even lead the world. "

"Old Zhao and the others worked in the laboratory for a long time for environmental experiments, and they almost lost their lives." Hu Weiwu couldn't help but say something.

Zhao Yuanfu made a gesture to signal not to talk about it. Meng Qian knew that this is a person who doesn't like to talk about hardships, so he asked directly, "Then we should have a specific direction now, right?"

"There have always been two directions in the research of the aerospace industry around the world. One is to change the manufacturing process, but the cost is huge; the other is to change the design process, which can effectively reduce costs. The design of aerospace chips is a worldwide problem.

Therefore, most countries would rather spend money on changing the manufacturing process, but we still decided to choose the latter, taking the route of design reinforcement.

Precisely because it is difficult, once we succeed, we can control the leading edge.

Moreover, those who choose to change the manufacturing are all following the imitation route, imitating the aerospace chips of the United States and Russia. It will be much more convenient to take this route, but there is a fatal problem.

Since you are an imitation, it is easy for you to fall into the dilemma of following in the footsteps of others for a long time, which means that your aerospace chips may not surpass the United States in the next few decades, or even your entire life. "

"Understood, then I don't know why Director Zhao asked me to come here today? Can our Dafeng Group help?"

"One of the advantages of taking the road of design reinforcement is that aerospace chips can be developed with only civilian integrated circuit manufacturing lines.

In the past two years, we all know that Dafeng Semiconductor's chip manufacturing plant has undergone optimization and upgrades again and again, and has become the top chip manufacturer in mainland China.

So I would like to ask Mr. Meng if he is interested in advancing the project together. We have basically studied the design, and the next step is the manufacturing issue. "

Meng Qian actually guessed that this might be the case when he came here, but Meng Qian was still a little surprised by the result, because military and aerospace chips are generally manufactured by specialized military chip manufacturers.

After all, private enterprises have to deal with the world, especially the United States, which is a bit troublesome.

When SMIC was established, it signed an agreement with the United States, promising not to manufacture chips for China's military industry, otherwise the US equipment manufacturers would not supply SMIC.

Therefore, in the field of aerospace, SMIC can only manufacture Beidou chips for civilian use. It cannot manufacture core aerospace chips such as central processing units, otherwise the United States will sanction it.

The Dafeng Group has not signed such a contract with the United States, but once the Dafeng Group manufactures core chips for military and aerospace, it is inevitable that the United States will intervene.

"Aerospace chips don't have such high requirements for technology. I don't know why Director Zhao wants to cooperate with us?" Meng Qian raised his doubts.

"With the deepening of the decentralization of military technology in recent years, the cooperation between military and civilian enterprises has achieved a phased breakthrough.

However, compared with the United States, there is still a lot of room for development in our military-private-enterprise cooperation. One of the most important points is that we lack successful cases and methods that allow more companies to learn and imitate.

In fact, when I heard that Dafeng Group was going to start building rockets a few months ago, I wanted to have a chat with Mr. Meng, but it happened that the research and development entered a critical stage and shelved it.

Dafeng Group wants to build rockets, and of course aerospace chips, data bus circuits, converters, memory and other products are indispensable. Now our 772 Institute has been able to independently develop more than 30 aerospace core products, and we will continue to deepen in this field.

And isn't this the opportunity for us to cooperate with Dafeng Group? "

Meng Qian instantly understood that the United States has been cooperating more and more deeply with its own military and companies such as IBM, Microsoft, and Intel, but it does not allow other private companies to cooperate excessively with the military every day.

But what can be done? The long-arm jurisdiction is not a mess. It was done when Dafeng Group cooperated with military enterprises.

But it is not a solution for everyone to continue being so powerless. Someone must stand up to fight against injustice.

Although this kind of confrontation would be a little irrational, the three people standing in front of Meng Qian at this time are all the kind of bloody people, and they all have a feeling of not knowing what cowardice is in their bones.

Perhaps, they felt that they met a young man with the same vigor, a young man who dared to challenge the United States.

Looking at Zhao Yuanfu's eyes, Meng Qian really couldn't make himself refuse, "I think this idea is good. Maybe we, Gale Semiconductor, can cooperate with 772 Research Institute to improve the research and development efficiency. After all, our company still has a group of world-class top experts. Scientists."

"Old Zhao, how are you? I said Meng Qian would definitely nod." Hu Weiwu raised an eyebrow at Zhao Yuanfu.

Zhao Yuanfu nodded in relief, and Kong Jingzhu, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke at this moment, "Since Lao Zhao's matter is resolved, let's talk about our matter."

Thank you, sir, for my reward! Thanks for the rewards of the time has passed! Thank you Taoist He Shang for your reward!
