Chapter 468: Daybreak
Hujian, a large industrial park.
"Mr. Chen, how is the current situation of the equipment entering the factory?"
"About 60% has been completed. Currently, our joint engineer team with Jinghai is working overtime to debug it. Factory equipment, hurry up and install the production line according to the design drawings!”
“Well! We must strictly control it and there must be no mistakes.
This production line is related to the fate of our entire company and even the entire industry, so we cannot be careless at all! "
"Understood! Don’t worry, even if we are sleeping on the production line, we will ensure that the mass production plan is completed as soon as possible! "
"Well! "Mr. Yu nodded.
After leaving Su City, he did not go back to Yangcheng directly. Instead, he came to Hujian in a low-key manner in order to personally supervise the implementation of the first optical chip production line.
Beside him is Professor Chen, the chief technical director of the newly established optical chip R&D department "Breaking Dawn" and the most authoritative top technical expert within Sihai Company
"But I really didn't expect that the company's 'Nanniwan Project' would suddenly make such a big noise.
Large-scale integrated optical chips... could be developed so quickly Achieved.
Mr. Yu, who is it that has made such an amazing achievement? Can you tell me now?”
Mr. Yu felt helpless after hearing this. .
This is not the first time these technology tycoons have asked this question.
It's just that even he himself isn't sure of the answer, let alone giving them the answer.
In order to find a source for this technology, they can only declare that this major breakthrough is one of the results of their own spare tire plan...
"Mr. Chen, please stop asking. You must also know what the situation of our domestic chip talents has been in recent years.
Don’t mention it, even I don’t know about this, it is the company’s top secret!”
"That's it..."
Although he was a little disappointed, Mr. Chen understood.
In order to protect its last information highland, almost the entire Western world is restricting China's ability to self-research chips. In recent years, various "unfortunate" incidents have occurred one after another for domestic experts in this field.
What about jumping off a building due to depression, or about a flight crashing.
No one can tell whether this is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster...
If it is really exposed that there are talents of this level in the country, the enemy will probably be the most crazy target.
In fact, this is also the speculation of Mr. Ren and Mr. Yu as to why the "inventor" needs to be "anonymous"...
Science knows no borders, and whoever believes it will be stupid!
“By the way, Mr. Yu, although we have been as reserved as possible, the people in Jinghua still learned a lot of data during the cooperation process.
Their person in charge yesterday Find me and want to get our authorization to develop matching optical memory modules based on this chip's technology."
"Really?" Mr. Yu's eyes lit up.
"It seems that Jinghua wants to get up from where he fell..."
Everyone knows that the dilemma Jinghua faced before was the memory dispute with magnesium, that is, DRAM. (Memory).
Jinghua’s senior management obviously saw hope in avenging shame...
Mr. Chen nodded with a smile.
“Yes, I have seen their idea, which mainly uses GST phase change materials as storage units and sends optical pulses through waveguides to read and write data.
Although there are still some difficulties at the consumer level, with Jinghua’s technology accumulation, it should not be a big problem to develop an optical storage module for large data centers first.
Once the other party is successfully developed, our 'A' will undoubtedly receive greater performance support! "
"A" can only be regarded as an "optoelectronic chip" at present, but after solving the problem of starting something from scratch, the road ahead will be smooth.
Although the chip is The core, but whether the terminal is excellent or not depends not only on the chip, but also on functional accessories such as storage.
The chip determines the processing speed, and the storage determines the speed of data reading and writing.
Without optical storage matching the optical chip, even if an optical chip is used, photoelectric conversion is still required. The read and write speed can only be equivalent to that of the electronic chip at best, which virtually limits the performance of the optical chip.
Rome was not built in a day. Similarly, "light ecology" cannot be achieved overnight and requires the joint efforts of a large number of supporting industries.
“Of course there is no problem with licensing. We don’t want to keep this technology secret all the time.
We not only have to license it to our supply chain, but when the time is right, we also need to hold industry ecology meetings as soon as possible. Seminar, mobilize the research and development power of the world!"
"Yeah! I think so too, by the way, the person in charge of Jinghua also told me a very important news."
"What's the news?"
"I'm afraid someone is already eyeing our project!" Mr. Chen said seriously.
“What?!” Mr. Yu was stunned.
“Someone spent 100,000 US dollars to bribe an executive from Jinghua.
Although that guy finally had some conscience and quietly revealed the news, but our part The project information must have been leaked..."
"Well..."
Mr. Yu frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed it, and just smiled.
“Forget it, such a big project can be hidden for a while, but not forever. We didn’t expect to be able to keep it secret for a long time.
Now that the equipment has entered the factory, the project will soon be needed There are a lot of people talking, and confidentiality is impossible to talk about.
If we keep the lid closed, our project progress will be slowed down...
It seems that the industry ecology seminar is coming...I have to go back immediately to start preparations..."
"Mr. Yu, what do you mean..."
"Well! It’s almost time to make the project public! "
......
A few days later, an explosive news came out, which instantly overshadowed the hotly debated "new theory of the origin of the universe" and quickly became the top topic in a short period of time. ——
Juchang held a press conference and officially announced the establishment of the "optical chip" R&D department "Breaking Dawn" and completed a major breakthrough in this field!
Mr. Yu proudly announced that the world’s first milestone commercial optical chip “A” has completed tape-out!
The computing speed of "A" is about 3200TFlops, which is three orders of magnitude higher than traditional electronic chips!
The power consumption per unit photonic chip is 4W, which is about one percent of the power consumption of the corresponding traditional chip!
The technology circle was still stunned by this explosive data and could not react.
But they didn't give everyone time to digest it.
It is announced again that the first optical chip production line will be built in Hu, and will be manufactured by Jinghua Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd.
The first batch of mass production will be completed next year at the latest!
Due to production factors, it will not be sold to the outside world for the time being...
But as expected, "A" will be installed for the first time on Juchang's latest model Mate30 next year!
"Damn! It's not true!"
"Ju Chang, don't imitate those third-rate tabloid headline-makers! I'll really believe it if you tell me!"
"Damn it! No wonder They have the confidence to conquer the world's most powerful country. If you don't sell it, I will build it myself and create the next generation. ...Awesome!"
"Soliton frequency comb, silicon-based laser, microcavity optical comb integration...so many related problems, you tell me that they can be solved at once?
Then I What exactly is the so-called ‘frontier’ of research in recent years? ”
"I don't understand, it's just 666!"
"Hahaha! This situation is so obvious!
Dawn, this is a good name! It is darkest before dawn, And what pierces this darkness is light! "
"Do you... believe in light?
I'm sorry! From today on, light is my belief! br>
"..."
If this is the preliminary result of the laboratory, forget it.
But... design, finalization, tape-out, mass production...
From scratch to something in one day, Juchang completely released a super shock bomb!
The optical chip "A", which has always been a concept, was born and shocked the whole world!
At the same time, the poor CIA director was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside...
When he watched the live broadcast of the press conference, his face turned black to the bottom of the pot, and it was also the kind of black with purple...< br>
I know that science is accidental, but this thing also says that breakthroughs can be made through breakthroughs?
Then the things I did before were completely useless?
5nm and 3nm are not for sale?
I'm still asking for one nanometer after another here, but others just start with "three orders of magnitude ahead"?
How to fight this? !
If the other party has this thing, what should I do with my numerous follow-up banning plans?
I have spent all the money, and I have taken care of everything, little brother. I have set up a dragnet and am ready to chase you!
Now you tell me not to take this path?
This second fire of mine is no longer half-burned and someone poured cold water on it. It is a spark that I don’t intend to leave for myself!
This is like holding back a big move for a long time and carefully preparing a set of thirteen deadly swords.
But as soon as I made an opening move... I was met with a Thousand Swords Guizong?
Don’t talk about martial ethics!
