Chapter 136 Chapter 135: Opportunity from Heaven (please support for this big chapter)
After sending Zhou Guangping away, Wang Donglai returned to the library and read a book.
No one knows or can tell that Wang Donglai’s net worth increased by 230 million after a brief trip.
Wang Donglai doesn’t think he can keep the three patents he still has in his hands for much longer.
The actions of Warwick and Xiaomi are not secret. In addition, they have their own papers, so it will be a matter of time before other major manufacturers notice them.
It just depends on whether Jinli, OV, or the Mei team can arrive in time.
If you can't catch this fast-charging bus, it might not be a big deal if it's a normal time.
But in the rapidly iterative domestic market, this is not possible.
At this time, Android phones are still in a period of rapid iteration. Even a newly released phone will become stuck after a year of use and its configuration will fall behind.
Only after the debut of Qualcomm's first-generation core Xiaolong 835, and the domestic market share has been roughly determined, the service life of Android phones will become longer and more durable.
Next.
Wang Donglai plans to use the funds obtained from these patents to invest in Galaxy Technology.
A few hundred million may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not enough to complete his layout.
If he wants to solve the bottleneck and seize control, he cannot introduce capital investment in the early stage to avoid losing his right to speak.
In 2012, China imported US$108.33 billion of processors and controllers, accounting for 56.4% of the total import volume of the integrated circuit market. However, the domestic integrated circuit industry sales were only 218.543 billion yuan.
This also includes a large number of foreign-funded enterprises, most of which only produce products for their own parent companies. After deductions, the domestic market share of my country's integrated circuit products will be much lower.
The situation is not optimistic and can even be said to be full of difficulties.
It’s just a difficulty, but it’s also an opportunity.
According to later memories, as of 2019, the self-sufficiency rate of domestic chips was about 30%, and the rate in subdivisions was less than 15%.
Under such circumstances, domestic policies will inevitably strongly support the development of the integrated circuit industry, and Wang Donglai can take advantage of this opportunity and use the help of the system to eat up the import share. This is a huge blue ocean. .
Directly control major domestic manufacturers from upstream and be their father.
There is no need to be like them, trying their best to control the market, design, and sales.
......
As the exams at Tangdu Jiaotong University approached, everyone's footsteps became hurried.
Wang Donglai remained calm and went to the graduate school to attend classes.
Although there is a reading system, Wang Donglai can become stronger through reading, but this does not prevent Wang Donglai from listening to the lectures of senior professors to speed up the absorption and understanding of knowledge.
“Today I won’t tell you about the knowledge in the book. I will tell you something that can make you think.”
“You should be exposed to these things now that you are in graduate school. Whether you go to work after graduate school or continue to study for a Ph.D., you can refer to it.”
The professor of the computer department on the podium looked at the students below and gave a different kind of lecture.
“Now is the Internet era, and smart phones are very popular recently. I believe everyone can see that this is the future trend. There are so many things hidden in small mobile phones, but have you ever thought about it? Why is there such a big gap between Apple mobile phones and domestic mobile phones..."
"The production of chips is supported by the semiconductor industry, but probably everyone's first impression of semiconductors is 'silicon', which is the main component of sand. When you hear this name, do you feel a sense of familiarity? Does the bald eagle have A place called Silicon Valley?”
“Such a In series, you should have thought of it. The reason why the place where Bald Eagle is called Silicon Valley is because there are a large number of semiconductor industry companies there, and Bald Eagle owns a Silicon Valley. This also proves the power of Bald Eagle's semiconductor industry. So Apple Is the excellent performance of mobile phones a matter of course? ..."
"If this lecture imparts knowledge to you, it won't actually impart much, but if one of you makes achievements in the semiconductor industry, it will be a good thing for the country and the people. Of course. Okay, this is a grand statement. If you pay more attention to yourselves, wisdom Smart phones are the future trend, which means that the semiconductor industry will become popular. This is a very marketable industry, and you can develop in this direction after graduation..."
Sitting below, I originally heard The professor above was not prepared to teach textbook knowledge, so Wang Donglai didn't pay much attention to it.
But when the professor mentioned chips and semiconductors, Wang Donglai's eyes lit up.
The content is easy to understand, and he also has a deep knowledge reserve. At the same time, he also gives correct suggestions to students like them. He is indeed a capable professor.
A professor who can be invited by Tangdu Jiaotong University to give a lecture must naturally not be too bad.
Looking at the dense crowd of students sitting below, you will know that this professor’s reputation is not small.
However, Wang Donglai didn't care about this. He was more concerned about what insights the professor would have and whether he could have any inspiration for himself.
“If you want to manufacture a small chip, from the initial design to production, testing, packaging, etc., you need the cooperation of many companies upstream and downstream of the industry chain, and it can be completed after thousands of processes. …”
"Among these processes, chip design is the soul of the chip. What functions the chip wants to achieve depends entirely on the overall design of the initial chip. So what exactly is the chip design? To be precise, chip design is actually the design of the chip. The design of system, logic and performance is transformed into a specific physical layout, which includes chip specification, logic design, layout planning, performance design, circuit simulation, layout and routing, layout verification, etc..."
"chip Circuit design is inseparable from basic chip design software and core chip architecture. Chip design software is easy to understand. It is software specifically used to design chips. It is highly efficient and professional. This software is called EDA software. Without this , chip design is difficult to achieve, so EDA software, which seems to have an output value of only a few billion dollars, dominates the development of the global semiconductor industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars. EDA manufacturers are mainly based in Bald Eagle, and the top three in the industry are Synop. Sys, Cadence and Mentor Graphics companies occupy more than 60% of the market share..."
"Having talked about so many foreign situations, let me tell you about the domestic situation, just the EDA software manufacturers, There are actually some in China, but they only occupy a few tenths of a percent of the global market share, and their product lines only account for about a quarter of the complete set of software required for integrated circuit design..."
"You Don’t feel discouraged after hearing this. The gap is indeed huge, but you must also see how many opportunities are hidden under this huge gap.”
“You are all graduate students about the importance of the semiconductor industry. , you can understand to some extent that it is impossible for the country to watch this situation develop, so it will inevitably support the country. This is a huge opportunity. If you are confident, you can invest in it. Once it succeeds, the market share will be huge, and I will not have many Said..."
...
The professor on the stage explained things in simple terms and knew all kinds of data very well. He not only analyzed the gap between domestic and foreign countries, but also poured chicken soup for the students below from time to time.
The reason why I didn’t describe it as a big picture is because Wang Donglai knew that what the professor said was right. Although the domestic semiconductor industry is stuck, it has indeed been developing. If everyone here chooses this industry , not bad at all.
It’s just that you may not be able to make money as quickly as a 996 programmer at a major Internet company.
While listening to the professor on the stage, Wang Donglai compared and analyzed the situation with what he knew, his brows furrowed, and a look of thought appeared on his face.
Regarding chips, Wang Donglai has never started to do anything, because he knows that the situation here is quite complicated, and the industrial chains involved are numerous and intensive. Moreover, it is not labor-intensive, but an industry with high technology and high talents.
No matter how powerful and talented Wang Donglai is, even if he proves a few more world-class mathematical problems, he cannot optimize all the processes in the entire chip manufacturing system by himself.
No, actually he can.
As long as he has enough points, he can still do it.
However, the world may not accept such a perversion. He still needs to take it step by step, or at most a faster pace.
It is not possible to take out a room full of information and technology overnight and say that through hard thinking, he has made epoch-making breakthroughs in chips and semiconductors, avoiding Western patent restrictions and technical restrictions.
In that case, I’m afraid everyone will think that they are not normal people.
Half a step ahead is a talent, one step ahead is a genius, and a few hundred meters ahead is incomprehensible. With this thought in his mind, Wang Donglai suddenly thought of the new mobile phone released by Warwick before he traveled through time. No one knew where their chips came from.
There is even a firm speculation on the Internet.
If you can't make a photolithography machine, that's because you want to export the photolithography machine as a product to make money, so you need to downsize it.
Then I will just give up the export, go directly to the giant size, use a ring accelerator with a circumference of 100 meters to 150 meters as the light source, and then drive multiple, or even dozens of lithography machines to work.
This statement sounds reasonable at first glance, but now Wang Donglai knows that things can't really be that simple.
Even if this concept really works, it would be based on the concept of a large device, similar to the way a factory production line works. The photolithography process is carried out in a large workshop without having to put all the equipment parts. Put together, you will have higher theoretical foundation, creativity and design ability.
The more he thought about it, the brighter Wang Donglai’s eyes became.
No matter how it develops, modern technology cannot do without chips. Only more advanced chips can improve performance. If artificial intelligence wants to make a breakthrough, the importance of chips becomes unparalleled.
While Wang Donglai was thinking, Professor Hao on the stage was actually paying attention to Wang Donglai.
After all, in the Tangdu university circle, no one knows Wang Donglai from Tangdu Jiaotong University, let alone Professor Hao on the stage.
Seeing Wang Donglai suddenly enlightened and happy after listening carefully to what he said, Professor Hao couldn't help but feel curious.
What did Wang Donglai think of?
At the end of the lecture, Professor Hao specifically called on a few students to answer a few questions. Seeing that Wang Donglai did not raise his hand to ask questions, Professor Hao took the initiative to name Wang Donglai and said, "Student Wang Donglai, your expression seems to be... What have you thought of? Do you have any questions?”
Wang Donglai did not expect that Professor Hao on the stage would take the initiative to mention his name. After reacting, Feeling the envious expressions coming from the front and back, he was a little confused, but he did not hesitate and asked directly: "Professor, I would like to ask if the traditional photolithography machine technology can be expanded and its functions can be used in the factory production line. Can the working method be realized and how much money will it cost?"
Professor Hao was stunned when he heard this question. He did not expect that he would ask this question.
“Well, the expansion of photolithography machine technology you mentioned has not been studied in China, but from a technical perspective, it is unlikely to be realized, because the development and etching of the chip require beam wiping. Fine-tuning, factory production line model comes Processing is very difficult from a theoretical point of view.”
“I haven’t done much research on this aspect, but I think it is a topic of great scientific research value. If you are interested, you can apply for this aspect later. project.”
Professor Hao did not hesitate, but gave his own suggestions.
Because, in his heart, Wang Donglai's talent is extremely powerful, and he is definitely the strongest student at Tangdu Jiaotong University in so many years. Proving the ABC guess shows his mathematical talent, so the previous article The SCI paper proves that Wang Donglai also has considerable talent in computers. Coupled with the news he just received, it shows that Wang Donglai is not an ordinary genius, but an all-rounder who has multiple fields and can create miracles.
That’s why Professor Hao suggested Wang Donglai to apply for the project.
If Wang Donglai really makes a breakthrough in domestic semiconductors, it will be a great thing for him personally and for China.
“Thank you Professor for your advice!”
Although he did not get any useful information from Professor Hao, he achieved his goal.
Throw out the concept of huge photolithography machines!
When you really research it in the future, it will become traceable.
Although it is not necessary to do this, it is not difficult to prepare a little more, that is, to say one more sentence.
The lecture ended and Wang Donglai was about to leave, but was unexpectedly stopped by Professor Hao.
"Classmate Wang Donglai, I see that you seem to be quite interested in semiconductors. Do you have any ideas?"
Professor Hao walked up to Wang Donglai, walked out together, and asked.
“As the professor just said, I think the semiconductor industry is very important and has great prospects. It will definitely be a key industry that will be competed and suppressed by major powers in the future.”
Although Wang Donglai did not know this Why did Professor Hao take the initiative to ask himself, but still gave his own answer.
“Well, our country’s foundation in this area is very weak. It’s not an easy task to catch up. If you really want to do something in this industry, you have to sit on the bench. Awareness.”
"However, if you have this idea, I think it's a good idea and you should support it. So, which area are you going to choose for your master's degree? If you don't want to study mathematics and want to develop semiconductors, why not come to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and take the test? "Graduate student, how about I apply for the project you just mentioned?"
Professor Hao turned his head seriously and said to Wang Donglai.
Hearing what Professor Hao said, Wang Donglai was stunned and said subconsciously: "Professor Hao, this is inappropriate. Our school has..."
"I know your school, Lao Zheng and Lao Xu values you very much, but if you want to study semiconductors, Lao Xu is not suitable. Lao Zheng’s words are actually okay, but Since he is your principal, he probably won’t have time to take care of you. Unlike me, I happen to have time. If you call HKUST and study for a Ph.D. with me, that’s exactly what you want.”
Professor Hao said. He waved his hand, and his words showed no respect for the two principals of Tangdu Jiaotong University, but instead seemed to be an attitude among peers.
"May I ask who you are, Professor?" Wang Donglai vaguely felt that Professor Hao's identity was extraordinary, so he asked.
"I am still a professor for the time being, and my other identity is the president of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. How about it? Do you have any ideas to come over? I will let your principal know when the time comes. It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, you have to take your studies as your priority. Heavy.”
As soon as Professor Hao said this, Wang Donglai immediately knew Professor Hao’s identity.
I am still a professor for the time being, doesn’t that mean I will be promoted to an academician?
The president of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China wants me to study for his graduate and doctoral studies. No wonder many people in the classroom looked at me with envy.
In an instant, Wang Donglai understood everything.
"Principal Hao, I haven't thought about how to arrange the postgraduate students. I will tell you after I think about it clearly."
Wang Donglai didn't want to refuse directly, but he didn't want to either He just agreed and resorted to the procrastination technique.
Because he has already skipped three years of undergraduate study, he does not want to be a graduate student for another three years. He even wants to skip graduate school directly and go to study for a Ph.D.
However, he has not revealed this idea yet, and everything will have to wait until the end of his undergraduate degree.
"Hey, you kid, I don't like anyone else who wants to come. If you're still here pushing back and forth, aren't you afraid that when you think it through, I won't have your place here?" Principal Hao said angrily.
As the president of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Wang Donglai really did not expect that he would come to the Graduate School of Jiaotong University in Tangdu to give a lecture.
It’s even a little incredible!
But after hearing Hao Tao's words, Wang Donglai smiled and did not answer.
“Forget it, since you have no idea, don’t force it, but if you have any questions later, you can come to me.”
With that said, Hao Tao exchanged contact information with Wang Donglai and then left.
Wang Donglai was also a little dreamy. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just by coming to listen to a lecture.
Just as he was sighing, Hanwha called.
As soon as the call was connected, Hanhua's slightly shocked and helpless voice asked him to go find him.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Donglai thought about it and roughly guessed what happened. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, looking quite happy.
