Chapter 625 It's time for the navy to make up its mind to build a 095-class nuclear submarine!
The technological blockade against the East has always been like this.

If the East does not have a certain technology, it must be firmly blocked and embargoed. In short, the East cannot be allowed to obtain this technology. What if the East has it?Of course, it is necessary to sell a large number of products of the same type to occupy the Eastern market. When the huge R&D funds invested by the Eastern R&D companies are in vain, they have to give up R&D.

When the Orientals gave up research and development and completely relied on outsourcing, they continued to monopolize, raise product prices, and earn a lot of money.

Now, the Sanxing Group has encountered a serious crisis and needs to raise money. Looking at the entire East, only the Mingzhou Group is doing well and has not been affected by the economic crisis at all. Even if the shipowner abandons the ship, they are not afraid, because their orders, Generally 80.00% down payment!

Although Mingzhou Group has nothing to do with SMIC on the surface, everyone knows that Mingzhou Group is behind it. The original 0.35 micron technology was also promoted by Qin Tao, and the cooperation with Sanxing Group was reached.

Now, Sanxing Electronics has a stable 0.25 micron process and is advancing towards 0.18 micron process. At this time, handing over the 0.25 micron process to Dongfang can make money on the one hand and solve their imminent bankruptcy crisis. On the other hand, It can also stop the progress of the Orientals.Seriously.

Mr. Li nodded: "Yes, this is a good way. In the field of chips, we are still in the leading position in the world! Orientals will definitely be willing to pay a high price for our chip technology!"

After receiving the task, Yin Jinlong, the person in charge of Sanxing Electronics, came to Huating again.

The development of Huating is changing with each passing day. Even if you haven't been here for a few months, you will feel different from the past, let alone if you haven't been here for a few years.

When SMIC was first established, the surrounding area was still desolate. In their divided high-tech park, there was only one company, SMIC, but now?A large number of enterprises have already been established, and the entire high-tech park is densely populated with companies, which is very spectacular.

Looking at the scene outside the car window all the way, Yin Jinlong was very emotional, the changes in the East are too fast!
In SMIC's office building, Yin Jinlong met Zhang Rujin. After exchanging pleasantries, he got to the point.

"Mr. Zhang, you have fully mastered the 0.35-micron process, which shocked us. However, in the field of chips, Moore's Law will never go out of date. Now, the 0.35-micron process has fallen behind. Do you want to be more advanced? craftsmanship?"

"Of course, we will not give up the pursuit of advanced technology." Zhang Rujin said.

"Our Sanxing Group has a good cooperative relationship with you. Now, in order to help you continue to develop, we are willing to sell you our most advanced 0.25 micron production technology. It only costs [-] million U.S. dollars." Yin Jinlong said: " For you, this is the best opportunity to improve the chip technology!"

Zhang Rujin nodded: "Yes, the 0.25-micron process has become common, and our 0.35-micron process is outdated."

"Then you agree?"

Although the base price is [-] million, there is always a bargain to do business.If the other party didn't counter-offer and gave [-] million directly, then the Sanxing Group would have more funds on hand.

"Agree? What do you agree with? 0.35 micron is behind, but the process of 0.25 micron is also behind, and now the advanced process is advancing to 0.18 micron." Zhang Rujin said: "We can't always follow other people's asses. ah."

"However, we are still researching the 0.18-micron process." Yin Jinlong said: "We can't provide it to you yet."

"Yeah, we can't rely on others, we still have to rely on ourselves!"

By yourselves?Yin Jinlong was a little surprised: "Why is it so unreliable? Is your own 0.25 micron technology mature?"

"We don't have a 0.25-micron process."

Yin Jinlong became even more curious. After talking for a long time, what exactly did he mean?Some people are unpredictable!

"We are currently developing a 0.13-micron process." Zhang Rujin said: "Therefore, there is no need to import your 0.25-micron process. We expect that the trial production will be successful by the end of this year, and the mass production will begin next year." .”

0.13 microns, mass production next year?
Yin Jinlong was completely surprised: "How is it possible? Intel doesn't even have this kind of technology!"

"Yeah, they didn't, so what does it have to do with us?" Zhang Rujin said: "We started by introducing, but we can't always rely on introduction, we have to rely on self-research, by the way, when we succeed in research and development, you guys If there is demand, you can also come to purchase our machines, our price is absolutely cheap. At most, it will only sell for one billion dollars.”

Yin Jinlong felt the buzzing in his head, is what the other party said true?
"If you just want to lower the price, then we are willing to sell the 0.25 micron production line to you for [-] million U.S. dollars." Yin Jinlong said.

To say that SMIC, which has just been established for a few years, can suddenly introduce the development of chip manufacturing processes, Yin Jinlong does not believe anything, this is more like a means of negotiation, and wants to use this means to lower prices.

Then you can lower the price yourself.

"You may sell this craft to others, but we really don't need it," Zhang Rujin said.

No need, really no need?
"Then what do you need?" Yin Jinlong suddenly had a panic in his heart. This time, if he can't get the money, then their three-line group will face a huge crisis. If their group goes bankrupt... that's terrible. The consequences were beyond his imagination.

"There are also things you need. You have developed a 256 trillion memory chip. If you transfer this technology to us, we can spend [-] million to purchase it."

The price of [-] million is definitely a lot!

In a computer system, the most important thing is of course the processor, followed by the north and south bridge chips, and then the memory. The size of the capacity and the speed of the speed directly determine the performance of the computer.

SMIC is only responsible for production, and chip research and development is the task of Loongson. Now, Loongson is actively developing the next generation of processors, and has no energy to develop memory sticks. Now, in terms of memory stick technology, they still need to temporarily import.

SMIC's original foundry product was 64 megabytes of memory, and now it is going to be upgraded to 256 megabytes.

In fact, for ordinary users, 64 megabytes is enough, and 128 megabytes can fly into the sky. However, the demand for computer hardware is endless, and 256 megabytes and 512 megabytes of memory will be needed soon. Opportunity, this kind of technology is still necessary.

"One hundred million is not enough." Yin Jinlong suddenly said this sentence, and after he finished speaking, he realized that his sentence was inappropriate. How could he expose his trump card in front of others?

Hearing his words, Zhang Rujin smiled: "If you still want money, you can sell the production line of LCD screens."

LCD screen?Yin Jinlong frowned, that was their trump card!
"If you want to sell, you have to do it as soon as possible. After all, not only your Sanxing Group is short of money, but Hyundai Group is also short of money. For us, we can buy from anywhere."

Yin Jinlong swallowed a mouthful of spit: "Okay, I will report this proposal."

SMIC will not get involved in the production of LCD screens, they only engage in chips. However, President Qin has ordered that, when possible, build a bridge for the Capital Electronic Tube Factory so that they can obtain LCD production technology. China's industrial development is also of great benefit.

Now is the most suitable opportunity.

The Sanhang Group is facing a dire crisis, and the Hyundai Group is also in a difficult situation. Now it is time for these two groups to compete and buy back the LCD production line at the best price. In the future, domestic computers will be able to use their own LCD monitors. !
Looking at the back of Yin Jinlong leaving, Zhang Rujin said: "Now, we need to contact President Qin and tell him the good news!"

What about Mr. Qin?

Qin Tao, Wu Shengli and others have completed the arrangement of the entire exercise. Before returning, they came to the nuclear submarine base on the Kamchatka Peninsula as special guests.

"For many years, this place has been kept highly secret, and no foreigners are welcome. You are the first batch of foreign guests here." Nicholas said to the two.

Qin Tao smiled. He had been here before when he was selling scrap iron. However, those things had to be rotten in his stomach and he had to forget them quickly. Now he still had to pretend to be here for the first time.

"Yes, we are very honored." Qin Tao said: "Although the power of your surface ships is gradually weakening, your underwater nuclear power is still quite large, which is very admirable."

One puzzling thing is that although Da Mao's economy is in a downturn, they attach great importance to the development of nuclear submarines. Even if the aircraft carrier on the surface is broken and unusable, they have to raise funds to maintain the nuclear submarine force, not just maintenance The old nuclear submarine has to start building a new nuclear submarine!
Just last year, the construction of a new generation of 955-type nuclear submarines began. This nuclear submarine, code-named the God of the North Wind, is a terrifying weapon.

Why does Lao Maozi attach so much importance to nuclear submarines?

Of course it was because the old man wanted to attack at a critical moment, and their mushroom bombs were not a deterrent.

But now, it is still very early before the Type 955 nuclear submarine enters service. At present, the main force of the Pacific Fleet is the Type 667 strategic nuclear submarine. There are many types of this submarine, which have been produced from the 60s to the 80s.Currently in service, they are all D-type nuclear submarines of the 80s, with a huge turtle behind them.

For a strategic nuclear submarine, its biggest weapon is the ballistic missiles it carries. When needed, it will launch a nuclear counterattack against the enemy at any time. These missiles are generally relatively large. When the diameter is larger, it needs to be higher at the back of the conning tower so that the missile can be inserted.

In the whole world, there are very few strategic nuclear submarines without turtles. Generally speaking, it is believed that Ohio nuclear submarines do not have turtles. In fact, looking back from the conning tower, you can still see the fairing above the missile, resulting in a somewhat raised.

The typhoon-class nuclear submarine can be said to be the only nuclear submarine without a turtle back. However, it has a displacement of 4.8 tons, which is not comparable to ordinary submarines. This displacement is already at the same level as a medium-sized aircraft carrier.

Due to large displacement, complicated operation and expensive maintenance, Typhoon-class nuclear submarines are also being decommissioned continuously. Three of the six nuclear submarines, TK-202, TK-12 and TK-13, were all decommissioned last year. Into the shipbreaking yard, the remaining three are not in the Pacific Fleet.

Thinking of the Typhoon-class giant, Qin Tao was also very emotional, this is the end of an era!
"Part of the sound-absorbing tiles outside have fallen off," Qin Tao said.

Da Mao was the first country to use sound-absorbing tiles outside submarines. However, the pasted sound-absorbing tiles always inevitably fall off, just like now.

After falling, it was as if a piece of flesh had been gouged out, which was very ugly.

However, Nicholas didn't care about these.

"That's right, some sound-absorbing tiles have fallen off, but it doesn't matter, as long as you have money in the future, you can go to the repair shop and paste them again." Nicholas said.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I see that there are signs of collision on the outside of its command tower?" Qin Tao continued to find fault.

Nicholas gave him a blank look: "Qin, you are asking knowingly. Some time ago, how did one of the natural gas ships in the fleet of the lost South Kimchi Kingdom leak?"

Such a coincidence, there must be someone behind the scenes!Trek is easy to say, it’s enough to play tricks on the satellite navigation system, but it’s tricky to let the natural gas ship leak at a critical time.If it's too early, the Sanxing Group may just give up and don't spend a lot of money on rescue, and it won't work if it's too late, the ship may be successfully towed back if it's too late.

Qin Tao shook his head: "How do I know?"

Nicholas could only shake his head, and then returned to the topic: "Everyone, I can only show you the outside of it, but I can show you the nuclear submarine over there, if you are interested."

"Of course, it's a great honor." Wu Shengli said.

The one moored on the pier on the other side has a smoother shape, especially the conning tower, which is perfectly integrated with the hull, as smooth as a big shark.

This is the main force of Lao Maozi's attack on nuclear submarines: Type 971.

"We need this kind of big guy to protect us underwater, right?" Qin Tao asked.

Hearing Qin Tao's question, Nicholas looked a little embarrassed.

"Qin, our navy is seriously short of funds, so submarines rarely go out to sea for ocean-going training. This time, our formation is not large, so we mainly focus on surface ships. For underwater ships, at most one or two 877 ships will be dispatched. A small submarine will do.”

877 is the Kilo class, which is the main diesel-electric submarine of Lao Maozi. For a big guy like a nuclear submarine, it costs too much to go to sea at a time.

Hearing Nicholas' words, Qin Tao nodded silently. Da Mao's national power is rapidly declining, and it is indeed impossible to maintain a huge underwater formation. A small amount of funds is needed to maintain the combat readiness of strategic nuclear submarines, and attack nuclear submarines can only be on the dock. Sunny.

"Nicholas, I do have a plan. I can provide a sum of money for your navy."

"Say." Nicholas waited for Qin Tao's words. He knew that Qin Tao's proposals were all very challenging.

"Nikolai, I once suggested to Uskimenko, the commander of the submarine force here, that you can lease one of the nuclear submarines to us, so that you can get a lot of money." Qin Tao said : "For example, let's lease for three years, and the lease fee is [-] million US dollars, how about it?"

Lease?
Wu Shengli also had a thought.

Now, under the promotion of Qin Tao, Mingzhou Group has been able to manufacture all kinds of large military ships. The only thing lacking in the navy's equipment sequence is advanced nuclear submarines!
Although relevant domestic units are also manufacturing new nuclear submarines, they are still far from the world's advanced level. Mingzhou Group once proposed a nuclear submarine construction plan, but the superior has been hesitant and decided to pre-research the subsystem first.

Now, the nuclear power plant near the Mingzhou Group is the nuclear reactor planned to be used by nuclear submarines. After several years of operation, it has withstood the test. If you want to rent another nuclear submarine, then refer to Lao Maozi’s nuclear submarine. Your own nuclear submarine technology is definitely It can also be upgraded to another level.

Mingzhou Group has never built a nuclear submarine, so the superiors have some concerns. Now it would be better if they rent one and study it.

As for the money, Wu Shengli is not worried at all. Since this project was proposed by Qin Tao, at least the Mingzhou Group should be responsible for half of the funds. After all, the experts from the submarine design department of the Mingzhou Group must often step on it. inspected.

"Qin, your proposal is very good. I can report it to Moscow, but I don't know whether it can be approved." Nicholas said.

Qin Tao nodded: "Nicola, thank you for your hard work, let's go, let's go in and have a look first."

The Type 971 nuclear submarine was only built in the early 80s. It is still a relatively modern submarine. Everyone walked in and looked at the various complicated configurations and advanced cabins. They couldn't help feeling emotional.

Just after visiting this submarine, Xu Zhengyang received news from SMIC, and Qin Tao had no choice but to bid farewell to his old friend and his father-in-law, and went to Huating to deal with the emergency.

On the special plane, Xu Zhengyang asked Qin Tao curiously: "Boss Qin, it sounds unreliable for us to rent a nuclear submarine with Lao Maozi."

Qin Tao smiled: "Of course it's unreliable. Da Mao doesn't trust us [-]% and is even wary of us. If Da Mao can lease us the nuclear submarine, it means the sun is coming out from the west."

Even if he gave a lot of advice to the big shots in Moscow this time, allowing them to successfully get rid of the economic crisis, and also tricked the Wall Street capitalists headed by Soros, Qin Tao was not so naive, and felt that he would You can wear a pair of pants with Da Mao.

"Then you still put forward such an opinion?" Xu Zhengyang was a little surprised.

"I still have to raise opinions. When this matter spreads, some people should be anxious." Qin Tao said: "They will definitely sabotage secretly, and even take the initiative to seize our leased object, thinking that they can defeat us once. "

"What good does that do us?" Xu Zhengyang knew that some of the people Qin Tao was talking about were Ah San, but wouldn't it be cheaper for Ah San to do so?What about our side?What benefits have you gained?
"Then, our navy should be in a hurry. Now, the conditions are almost ripe, and the navy should make up its mind to build a 095-class nuclear submarine!"

Xu Zhengyang was a little dumb, then thought of something, and began to frown.

"Boss Qin, you are cheating me." Xu Zhengyang was helpless.

"What are you cheating on?"

"You know!" Xu Zhengyang was completely speechless.

Mr. Qin is so smart, of course he knows Xu Zhengyang's true identity. Over the years, Qin Tao has used Xu Zhengyang to report various news to the navy. What about now?Did Xu Zhengyang report Qin Tao's news?Still not reporting?
With complicated emotions, Xu Zhengyang got off the plane, and then, as Qin Tao's full-time driver, took Qin Tao to SMIC.

The news that Dongfang wanted to rent a nuclear submarine from Da Mao also spread like wildfire, and it reached Ah San that night.

"The Orientals are too much, how can they learn from us!" Sunil became angry when he heard about it, and ran to report to the leader overnight.

"The Type 971 nuclear submarine is Da Mao's most advanced nuclear submarine. We must not let the Orientals lease this advanced nuclear submarine!"

Hearing Sunil's report, the leader was also very concerned: "Then what should we do?"

"We have to go to Da Mao first, and rent the nuclear submarine that the Orientals want to rent first!" Sunil said: "Da Mao doesn't have many nuclear submarines that are ready for combat, and at most we can only free up one nuclear submarine for lease. We are on loan, and the Orientals will not have this opportunity!"

"Okay, then we have to act as soon as possible, and we can't let the Orientals succeed!" The leader waved his hand and immediately agreed. The financial crisis in Southeast Asia has not affected them, and their treasury is still very rich.

"In this way, when our aircraft carrier is launched, we will be protected by nuclear submarines underwater!"

That night, Ah San prepared the team for departure, and in the middle of the night, they boarded the plane to Moscow, which was the fastest action.

After getting this news, Xu Zhengyang finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was unnecessary to report or not, because Ah San had already acted first!
Qin Tao still sat leisurely on the Diaoyutai until Yin Jinlong came to the door for the second time and brought what Qin Tao wanted.

"President Qin, our group has approved your proposal. We are willing to transfer the 256M memory chip technology to you for production, and we are also willing to start negotiations on the export of LCD screen production lines, but we have one condition."

"Please tell me." Qin Tao was in a good mood.

"We hope that after you have developed the 0.13 micron process, you will export the relevant technology to us." Yin Jinlong said.

"Of course no problem!" Qin Tao agreed casually: "When you get through this economic crisis, we will also develop this technology to maturity, and we can export it to you at any time, but the price will not be cheap."

"We have the psychological capacity." Yin Jinlong said.

The matter was decided like this, because the Sanxing Group couldn't afford to wait any longer, and if it continued to drag on, it would be easy to drag down their group, but Zhang Rujin became worried about it.

So, during the drafting of the agreement, Zhang Rujin found an opportunity and asked Qin Tao in a low voice: "Mr. Qin, are you really planning to sell them the 0.13 micron technology?"

Qin Tao smiled: "It depends on the mood."

depend on mood?
What kind of answer is this?

"We have already grasped the advantages of the manufacturing process. Of course, the next step is to see how we feel. If we are in a good mood, we will sell them to them. If we are in a bad mood, we will keep it for ourselves."

"However, this item must be included in the agreement signed now. Will they accept it if they don't sell it at that time?"

"Add a force majeure factor. At that time, our factory that produces lithography machines will catch fire, a certain component will be out of stock, and even the superior will issue an administrative order to prevent us from selling it. These are all force majeure factors!"

Zhang Rujin felt a chill in his heart.
