Chapter 169 Academician
When you have the future as a reference coordinate, the most fearful thing is that you cannot find the direction. Once you have the direction, the speed of advancement will be far beyond imagination.
Future technology and modern craftsmanship complement each other, and the progress bar is pulled up very fast.
When the first chip based on topological semi-metal material came out of the production line, not to mention the relevant agencies after receiving the news, even the engineers involved were incredulous.
Liang Mengsong looked at the topological semi-metal chip, which was larger than ordinary chips, with mixed feelings in his heart, and vivid memories of the past came to mind.
"I am not a traitor who breaks his word or defectes to the enemy camp. That would cause great harm to my personality and my family."
Liang Mengsong knew that although the chip was small, it could deliver a fatal blow to his former master. , recalling his past speeches in court when facing TSMC’s accusations.
"Yuanguang, thank you very much. I didn't have much confidence in this project before coming here. The reason why I finally accepted this arrangement was,
Liang Mengsong continued: "And you He is the famous god of light, so I naturally want to work with him and take a gamble together.
Before I participated in this project, I had prepared to leave the last part of my career to this project.
The biggest credit for our ability to create the first topological semi-metal chip so quickly is due to you. I am very grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to participate in this project. "
Liang Mengsong was already 74 years old at this time. If he hadn't been hanging in one breath, he would have retired long ago.
At this time, he thought that he had advanced the technology so many years earlier than the TSMC gang. By the 1nm equivalent process, future generations can finally conclude everything in the past.
Chen Yuanguang was also very emotional: "Brother Liang, your rich experience in chips and your mastery of cutting-edge technology have also given me a lot. Big help.
Being able to achieve this progress so quickly is the result of our full cooperation.
Subsequent large-scale mass production will require you to worry more. "
Back to the present, Chen Yuanguang said to Lei Jun on the other end of the phone: "Limited by the fact that the technology has just been developed, the cost will be very high, but the speed of replacing silicon will be far beyond the imagination of the outside world.
Brother, you can compare it to the speed at which new energy sources replace fuel vehicles. Not to mention that topological semi-metal is a unique technology of China. This speed will be faster than the penetration of new energy sources.
Having worked in the manufacturing industry for so many years, you should understand that large-scale production and cost control are not difficult after key technical nodes are conquered.
This is only the first generation of topological semi-metal. With large-scale use as chip raw materials, I expect that the next generation of topological semi-metal will be launched within three years.
So Xiaomi actually doesn’t have much time. "
Chen Yuanguang's authority is enough for him to say something.
After listening, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and then Lei Jun felt his throat was a little hoarse," Got it, thank you, I know what to do. ”
Even Xiaomi is promoting self-developed chips, and Qualcomm’s good days in the global market are coming to an end.
“Although we haven’t seen each other for only a month, I feel like I have passed one century. "Chen Yuanguang said suddenly after taking Lin Jia back to the car at the airport.
Lin Jia complained: "No, we haven't seen each other for two months. I was going to see you last month, but you said I wasn't available."
Chen Yuanguang patted his forehead: "I forgot, topology The semi-metal project has taken up almost all my energy, and I have lost consciousness of the passage of time."
Lin Jia had roughly known about this project before, but he didn't know that it could be so amazing to advance the process to 1nm." No wonder, such an important project must take a lot of effort.
I don’t think your hairline will last a few years.”
Lin Jia only said half of what she wanted to say. , the remaining half is whether to hold the wedding while you are still not bald.
She now regrets that she mentioned that people don't get married and only fall in love, especially since lately, every time she goes home, she is being sidetracked by Mrs. Lin and asked when they will get married.
Relatives from all walks of life during the holidays are also most concerned about this issue. Everyone agrees that Chen Yuanguang is too good and has too many potential temptations, so he must make a decision early.
But she was embarrassed to mention it, after all, she was the one who said she would not get married. Moreover, she knew that Chen Yuanguang's parents were divorced and he was likely to have a rejection of marriage due to his upbringing environment. This made her even more confused about how to mention it and what to do if it had any side effects.
Chen Yuanguang naturally could not read the other half of what the other party did not say. He smiled and said: "If I were really bald, then I would also develop a medicine that can cure baldness. Drugs.
This is estimated to be at least a tens of billions of dollars market. "
Lin Jia quickly put marriage behind her. She herself was not worried about any crisis in her relationship with Chen Yuanguang: "It's almost tens of billions of dollars."
Although there are a lot of bald people around the world, but they are willing to pay for it. To what extent this willingness is specific, as an expectation value, it probably fluctuates around this benchmark. "
Chen Yuanguang then said: "Do you remember Director Zhao? "
Lin Jia thought about it for a moment: "Remember. ”
"He came to me two days ago and said that Academician Mao would recommend me to the Academy of Engineering. If nothing else happens, I will become the youngest academician in the history of the Academy of Engineering."
Lin Jia said: "I should have been given this a long time ago. You, I should have given you this title when I developed the human hibernation technology.
It’s enough to hold off until this year.”
Chen Yuanguang: “You know, I am. I'm not interested in titles."
Lin Jia: "Yuan Guang, although you really don't need this kind of title to prove your status, the capital market gives you a price that matches your ability.
Even if you are an academician, you don't have as many resources as you can mobilize, but this is a matter of attitude, and you have not received the respect you deserve. ”
“Probably because I am too young.
And the two houses are relatively independent in their institutions. I remember that Academician Mao recommended me the year before last, but the vote failed. "Chen Yuanguang smiled.
Lin Jia was angry: "Why didn't you tell me then?
If you had told me at that time, I would have arranged a public opinion organization for you to build momentum.
It didn't make the news the year before last, so I guess it was suppressed. "
Chen Yuanguang said: "What if we fail to vote again this year? "
Lin Jia sneered: "If I don't give it to you again this year, it will be their sorrow, not yours.
Now that the seniority ranking has reached this point, we only need to release the news, and the media will find out all the ticket types for you. "
Chen Yuanguang then asked: "Then if I want to help Liang Mengsong enter the Academy of Engineering, what do you think? ”
Lin Jia: "It's too late now. You can recommend him when you have the qualifications to recommend him the year after next. As for voting, I'm not very optimistic about it."
Academicians are selected every two years. After this year's selection, the next one will be 26 years.
“You will give the old people the feeling that you have to recruit your own people as soon as you become an academician.”
The selection of academicians is not driven by pure interests, which is why if Chen Yuanguang It is impossible to rely on the history of future technological development to guide the development of various scientific fields.
“It depends on the situation. I may not need to recommend it myself. SMIC has two academicians of the Academy of Engineering.” Chen Yuanguang said.
The final selection result was beyond his expectation. Later, China asked academicians of the Academy of Sciences to recommend him. In the selection in June, he was successfully elected as an academician of both academies.
