Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker.

Chapter 211 Do you dare to fight?

Director Liu seems to have questions about the significance of the 180nm process?

Zhao Guoqing said: "Director Liu, think about it, if we make the same chip, the performance can be improved ten times, and the price is only a quarter of the original price. What would you choose?"

As long as the semiconductor manufacturing process is one generation ahead, it will have a crushing advantage on top chips. What does it mean to be three generations ahead?

think about it!

"The U.S. civilian semiconductor market will be completely destroyed, including Microsoft, Intel, IBM, and Texas Instruments..."

Director Liu asked: "National Day, wait a minute, you are just talking about the manufacturing process. We have no CPU, no memory, no operating system, and no corresponding industry..."

Zhao Guoqing said: "Director Liu, we have a CPU. I have just acquired a British CPU design company. As for memory, Motorola has the basic patent of DRAM. I will just spend some money to get them to authorize it. As for the operating system, I will develop one." Just..."

"You develop an operating system?"

Zhao Guoqing is not bragging. What was the most popular open source operating system in the 1990s? Of course it was the Linux operating system that has not yet appeared. The source code is all public on the Internet.

Teacher Xiao Zhao was also an enthusiastic supporter of Linux at the time. He once studied the core code line by line and was deeply impressed by the design ideas. The original author at that time spent two days writing the Linux core. Zhao Guoqing felt that if he were to write it now, maybe One day will do...

Using Linux with an ARM processor is simply not fun. As for the software ecosystem, ten times the performance is not enough for them to replace Menting. Besides, the productivity software functions of the 486 microcomputer are too limited. Comrade Qiu Bojun can write WPS in one night, and the functions are not weaker than Word.

Teacher Xiao Zhao is still very confident in creating a new industrial chain.

"...Um...what's wrong with me..."

Zhao Guoqing feels that his own mentality has also changed. Since he was able to invest in ASML and participate in the research and development of ASML lithography machines, Teacher Xiao Zhao has also become enthusiastic and belligerent.

Why does he have to explore the 248nm process as soon as ASML's 180nm laser lithography machine is shipped back?

He had never thought about this problem himself.

Director Liu asked: "National Day, I want to ask you three questions. Please answer me clearly!"

"Say it!" Zhao Guoqing said:

Director Liu said: "If we don't announce the 180-nanometer process and compete with the Americans with the 180-nanometer process, what will happen in the future?"

Zhao Guoqing said: "Americans will continue to maintain their leadership position in the semiconductor industry, and their products will lead the entire world, whether it is personal computers, software, or various industrial applications, which will involve all aspects of the world, and this advantage , will become bigger and bigger as time goes by!”

For example, Windows 3.0 is still a piece of shit now. After the release of Windows 95, Microsoft will dominate the entire personal computer operating system.

The Windows operating system is not scary. What is scary is the software and hardware ecosystem that software and hardware companies around the world have spent hundreds of billions of dollars building around the Windows system.

Ten years later, you can find any application you want in the Windows system. However, in the Apple system, which is recognized to be more efficient, better-looking, and easier to operate, the software ecosystem is far inferior.

And what about Linux?

It is a paradise for open source software enthusiasts. Forget it for ordinary users, few software and hardware manufacturers are willing to spend money for development...

Director Liu took a deep breath and said: "What will happen if the 180-nanometer process is announced now, as you said, and we compete with the Americans for the leadership of semiconductors?"

Zhao Guoqing said: "The Americans will suppress us, discredit us in international public opinion, sanction us, all the methods they can think of, and the sanctions on Mao Xiong may be even stricter, or even..."

"Even what?"

Zhao Guoqing said: "They even hesitate to provoke a proxy war to delay the process of our economic construction!"

As soon as Zhao Guoqing said this, Director Liu's face became much more solemn. He continued: "Guo Qing, you have always had a very deep understanding of the international situation. Do you think the Americans will recruit Mao Xiong to deal with us?"

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and said: "It is possible in the short term, but certainly not in the long term. The reason I have said before is that Mao Xiong wants to invest in the West, and Europe also wants to accept Mao Xiong to obtain Mao Xiong's resources and market, and get rid of the control of the United States. , once the two families are combined, NATO will no longer be necessary, and the United States will lose its leadership in Europe...

This is the bottom line of the U.S. global strategy. The United States, which loses Europe, can only be a powerful country in the Americas, and Europe will become the center of the world again. This is what great powers like Germany and France want to see..."

The fate of the Mao Xiong has been determined. Regardless of whether it is disintegrated or not, it will be an imaginary enemy set up by the United States to kidnap Europe.

But France and Germany have been struggling. Look at France's implementation of independent diplomacy. Look at how when the Bretton Woods system was about to collapse, the French stepped on the United States and shipped away billions of dollars in gold. Look at France pulling Germany to implement it. of EU economies, just look at France’s implementation of the euro.

It’s no longer just a day or two for Europe to get rid of control...

Director Liu nodded and said: "National Day, last question, if the West restricts us, will they stop buying our chips? Will they cut off our trade?"

"..." Zhao Guoqing did not expect Director Liu to ask this question. He thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so, Director Liu. The addition of the semiconductor chip industry to industry, the tertiary industry, and the military industry is obvious. Machinery Design, military industry, scientific computing, computer simulation, such as EDA software, you have also seen that designing integrated circuits with a scale of 20 million requires more advanced chips. They can accelerate the development of science and technology. Our chips can help Western technology progress... "

But as he talked, Zhao Guoqing understood what Director Liu meant. This was a dose of poison.

More than thirty years later, even if we resent our dependence on the United States, we are still forced to import their chips...

Just like the situation now.

If you buy it, you are just relying on it. If you don't buy it, not only the chips, but the entire economy will fall behind... Director Liu smiled and said: "We don't want war, but we are not afraid if it does come. As long as the neighboring countries don't cause trouble, Then there’s no trouble!”

Lao Mei takes matters into her own hands? Borrow his courage. As for Ah San, well, this brown candy is indeed annoying. The more disheveled he is, the more playful he is...

"National Day, I know your opinion. Let's take it easy in advance..." Director Liu paused for a while and then said: "Whether you want to compete with the Americans now or not, National Day, I still suggest that you plan ahead and don't make a decision then. Caught off guard.”

Teacher Xiao Zhao smiled. He was the master of taking one step at a time and looking at the next step. In the moment just now, he had already settled the case.

But after hanging up the phone, he thought about it again. What he just said seemed to be encouraging the top management to fight the Americans...

What will be the result? Unpredictable...

……

Zhao Guoqing opened the door of his office and saw his secretary Feng Ruilin standing at the top of the stairs. He waved Feng Ruilin over.

Zhao Guoqing said: "Remember a few things!"

Feng Ruilin turned on the laptop technology.

"Tomorrow morning, let Yin Bingxin organize an internal meeting of Institute 102. The person in charge of the lithography factory and the factory builder will speed up the construction of the lithography factory and inform the manager of the Commerce Department Fu Junmei to continue purchasing lithography machines from ASML, Nikon, Canon, and AGA in the United States. Both, and please inform Yang Haihong and Shi Zhengli from the Laser Research Laboratory, and Chen Boluan and Yao Xingguang from the Optical Research Laboratory, so that they can take the time to report to me the current research and development progress!"

"Director Zhao, is there anything else?"

Zhao Guoqing shook his head. At this time, the phone rang. It was Fred.

"BOSS, representatives from Motorola are here. They have something to discuss with you!"

Zhao Guo said: "Tomi knows my phone number, why didn't he call me directly for something important?"

"..." Freeman shook his head and said, "Maybe they feel more embarrassed!"

"..."

"This is BOSS, we have licensed the GPRS/WAP data transmission patent to Motorola, but they... have not completed the finished product!"

"... Let me tell you, it's been almost half a year since the release of Sinocom G8850, and there's still no movement from Motorola!"

Fred said: "BOSS, there is one more thing. Mr. Li Jianxi, the vice president of Samsung, also came over. It was very sudden. Do you want to meet him?"

"Three stars!"

At this time, Samsung and Zhao Guoqing really didn't take it seriously. Even if Chinacom did not participate, Samsung lost completely in the battle of analog mobile phones. In the 2G era, it was wiped out by Qualcomm's CDMA. During the financial crisis, if it weren't for... there would be no Samsung on the planet!

"Did you explain anything?"

Fred said, "They want to work with us!"

"...Cooperation?" Zhao Guoqing shook his head. What could Samsung do for cooperation at this time? Zhao Guoqing wanted to cooperate with Toshiba. He was very interested in Toshiba's NAND flash memory patents.

He said to Fred: "I need the patent for the NAND flash memory chip. It is best to buy it. Of course, technology licensing is also possible, but the patent licensing time shall not be less than fifteen years. This patent is in the hands of Toshiba!"

"I got it, BOSS, I'm going to ask someone to evaluate the value of the NAND flash memory chip patent!"

……

It was not far from the 102nd Nanshan District Chip Processing Factory to Zhongxun Company, and it only took fifteen minutes by car. At the Zhongxun office building, Zhao Guoqing met a representative of Motorola, their commercial president, Mr. Ben Feidewen.

It was also the first time to meet this person Zhao Guoqing. After the greetings, Fei Dewen said: "Mr. Zhao, Motorola hopes that Sinocom can provide us with technical support and help us solve the problem of GPRS/WAP data link technology!"

Zhao Guoqing smiled and said: "Zhongxun is happy to provide help to Motorola. We are close business partners!"

"That's great, Mr. Zhao. President Tommy will definitely thank you for your generosity."

Zhao Guoqing stood up, brewed a pot of Kung Fu tea, filled the tea cup, brought it to Fei Dewen, and said: "President Fei Dewen, I heard that Motorola has a storage DRAM business unit, can you introduce me to their DRAM business unit?" situation?"
