When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

How important is a top scientist?
Everyone has a different answer to this question.

However, no one will ever deny the achievements of a top scientist. The only difference is the individual's knowledge and vision.

There is no doubt that although Wang Donglai is still young, he can definitely be considered a top scientist.

All in all, he started to rise in his senior year of high school, and after entering university, he was like a dragon swimming in the ocean or a trapped dragon ascending to heaven.

Publish papers, prove the world's difficult mathematical problems, and create technologies.

In just three years, he went from being a student to a professor at a top domestic university and also gained international fame.

At the same time, he also founded an Internet company with a market value of hundreds of billions.

Just listing out Wang Donglai's experiences is enough to make people feel incredible.

When facing a top scholar and super genius like Wang Donglai, Tang Dushu also gave his greatest support.

After Xu Songyao reported what happened in the office.

Tang City immediately sent a letter to Mo City to inquire.

Although the wording was not excessive, ignoring the gap between the two and sending the letter directly represented Tang City's attitude.

With the support of Tang Dushi and Ding Xiaochuan's words.

The matter was easily handled and did not escalate into a bigger incident.

Center International paid 300 million yuan in patent transfer fees and also cooperated with Galaxy Technology in some areas.

Simultaneously.

Tang Du also saw an opportunity in this matter.

After a meeting, Tang Du made the decision directly.

We will fully support the development of Galaxy Technology's semiconductor industry and build a semiconductor industrial park.

Originally, Galaxy Technology already had a research and development center, so they just merged it together.

Logically speaking, such a big thing would require at least half a year of discussion before a decision could be made.

But that was not the case this time.

Galaxy Technology is rich, with tens of billions of funds in its account.

This amount of money can be used to build a semiconductor industrial park in addition to the component battery factory.

Even Tang City offered more favorable conditions.

As long as Galaxy Technology agrees, Tang City is willing to put out another 5 billion.

Faced with such conditions, Wang Donglai naturally would not refuse.

Qin Province Compound.

This is Wang Donglai's third time here.

Every time he comes here, Wang Donglai gains a lot.

And this time, he had a hunch, and this time was no exception.

really.

Wang Donglai didn't have to wait long before Manager Hu arrived.

"Professor Wang, I asked you to come here today because I want to seek your opinion on something!"

"You don't have to think too much about it. If you think it's feasible, just agree to it. If you think it's too difficult, it's okay to refuse."

As soon as they met, Manager Hu said this, which immediately made Wang Donglai a little confused.

"Manager Hu, please tell me, I'll do my best!"

Wang Donglai didn't make any promises and just spoke politely.

"Professor Wang, I also heard about the incident at Magic City Center International. Today's incident is related to this incident."

"I won't say much about the importance of the semiconductor industry. You are a scholar in this field and you must know more than me."

"It seems to me that Professor Wang's achievements cover many areas in the semiconductor field, including etching machines, advanced packaging design solutions, and I heard that he is also developing EDA software?"

Manager Hu asked curiously.

Wang Donglai nodded and admitted, "Well, we are lagging behind in the field of semiconductors. Many areas are controlled by foreign countries, so I am thinking about making breakthroughs bit by bit."

Manager Hu's expression became serious and he said, "Professor Wang, Qin Province is also a major educational province, with many universities and research institutes. In your opinion, if Qin Province wants to vigorously develop the semiconductor industry, what problems need to be solved?"

Wang Donglai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Manager Hu would ask him such a question.

But it only took him a moment to react.

After a brief pause, he said, "As I said before, our semiconductor industry lags far behind foreign countries. There is a lot of work to be done. From technical talents to funding, and then to the upstream and downstream industrial chains, there are huge gaps."

"If you take a closer look, you can see that many domestic companies in this field have founders with overseas work experience. They first worked abroad, accumulated work experience, and after achieving certain results in the industry, they returned to China to start a business."

"These founders come back from overseas not only with advanced technical concepts, but also with qualified industrial thinking, and they can train a large number of qualified workers."

"In fact, this is the same as the development of the domestic Internet industry."

"Initially, it was developed in developed Western countries. After it developed to a certain extent, it needed to find growth, so it turned its attention to the domestic market."

"Then some smart people brought back the proven business model from abroad, localized it, and finally attracted foreign capital, thus revitalizing a business."

"As for the lack of computer talents in China, the Internet industry has also invested heavily in attracting a large number of talents through market means."

"I think Manager Hu should also be aware of the popularity of the Internet and programmers in recent years."

"When choosing a major for college students, it's a no-brainer to choose computer science. The salary is definitely good. If you work hard for a few years, you can even have a car and a house."

"The semiconductor industry is actually the same as the Internet industry, with few local genes and insufficient accumulation in this area."

“So, I think if we want to develop the semiconductor industry, we can learn from the development of Internet companies!”

Manager Hu listened to Wang Donglai's somewhat unique answer and fell into deep thought.

Soon, he said, "What you said makes sense, but the semiconductor industry values ​​technology more, which is different from the Internet. As the Internet develops, it is more about dominating the market share. You can spend money and it doesn't matter if you lose money in the early stage. As long as you defeat your competitors, you can make it back later."

"But semiconductors are different. After spending hundreds of millions of dollars, we finally achieved a technological breakthrough. But before we could put it on the market and make a profit, the West had another technological breakthrough and its performance was ahead again. In this way, the hundreds of millions of dollars invested were wasted."

"Technical things are different from other aspects. This is real hard power."

"Money is a minor issue."

"If you want to achieve a technological breakthrough, you must have talent, a large number of talent, and then funding."

"Professor Wang, in your opinion, given the current rate of technological development, how many years will it take for us to catch up with the world's top level?"

Wang Donglai noticed that Manager Hu was asking about the world-class level, not the international advanced level.

After recalling the memories of his previous life and adding the specific understanding of this life, Wang Donglai had an answer in his mind.

"Under normal circumstances, it would take a conservative estimate of 15 years to catch up with the world's top level."

This answer is not nonsense from Wang Donglai.

In the past, due to the sanctions imposed by the Bald Eagle, China was forced to conduct independent research and development. However, even so, Huawei did not completely solve this problem. Although most of the parts were localized, the output was not increased at all.

Putting aside the sanctions imposed by the Bald Eagle, without any external pressure, there is no great pressure on domestic independent research and development.

Therefore, the speed of breakthrough is naturally very slow, and Wang Donglai’s estimate of fifteen years is normal.

Manager Hu's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he was a little disappointed with Wang Donglai's answer.

"Fifteen years as a start?!"

"Is the gap between us really that big, and the homework we owe is so much, that it takes so long to catch up?"

Considering Manager Hu’s age, he has witnessed China’s rapid development.

In just a few decades, China's development can only be described as horrific.

In many fields, we started from scratch, but were able to achieve technological breakthroughs and take the lead.

As a result, the semiconductor industry still needs at least 15 years of development to catch up with the world's top level.

This undoubtedly made Manager Hu feel a little disappointed.

Hearing what Manager Hu said, Wang Donglai remained calm and explained, "Manager Hu, since the beginning of the new century, the development of the semiconductor industry has been obvious to all, and its importance is beyond doubt."

"This field covers too many scientific and technological fields. It is an extremely complex industry that requires a lot of professional skills to cooperate, and they all have to be at the top level."

"So, it seems that we are lagging behind in just the semiconductor industry, but in fact, we are lagging behind in many sub-sectors, such as materials, optics, coding, and many more."

"What's more, in this field where there is a huge backwardness, people in China believe in a saying: it is better to buy than to make!"

"If we develop it ourselves, it will cost too much, and if we fail, the loss will be too great."

"But if you buy it, there won't be any other problems except that you will be ripped off."

"If costs go up, then we can raise product prices to make the money back from domestic consumers."

"This way, there is nothing to lose or risk for these people."

"The only problem is that we will be far ahead of foreign countries in related technological fields, and a large amount of domestic wealth will flow out."

After all, Manager Hu is the leader, so he naturally understands this truth. When Wang Donglai pointed it out, he looked a little unhappy.

"In fact, there is some truth in the saying that it is better to buy than to make. There is a large amount of R&D funding and a comparison of risks and benefits."

"The emergence of any behavior has its reasons and history behind it."

Wang Donglai laughed softly and was not restrained by Butler Hu's identity.

"Under certain circumstances, this approach is not wrong, but after that stage, it must be changed. However, people are lazy, and once path dependence is formed, they are naturally unwilling to change back."

"Now, everyone is talking about the development of the Internet, which has connected the world together, and has led to the globalization of trade and the globalization of the economy."

"But many people forget one thing, that is, there are billions of people living on this planet, with different cultures, economies, and politics, and different demands."

"For example, the peaceful and stable life that many people in China take for granted is a luxury that local residents in many countries and regions dream of but cannot obtain."

“The world is not peaceful. We were not born in a peaceful era, but we were born in a country that can guarantee peace.”

"War is the mainstream of historical development. Even here, at the end of the century, we are still hearing the sound of artillery fire."

"Therefore, the current globalization of economic trade has given many people the illusion that this situation will last forever."

"Once the Bald Eagle imposes economic and technological sanctions on us, our exports and imports will be restricted, and some high-tech products, equipment and devices will be restricted, and our development will be greatly affected."

Manager Hu was somewhat shocked by what Wang Donglai said, and immediately retorted: "That's impossible!"

"We have joined the WTO, and our trade with the Bald Eagle and the world is increasing every year. We have formed a good business model. If the Bald Eagle imposes sanctions on us, it will definitely be a huge loss for them."

"This will result in a lose-lose situation. I don't think it will happen!"

Indeed, it’s still 2015 and the sweater wars haven’t started yet.

It is actually normal that Manager Hu does not believe Wang Donglai's inference.

However, Wang Donglai, who has memories of later generations, sees things more clearly than anyone else at the moment.

As China develops, the conflict between it and the bald eagle becomes increasingly serious. This is determined by both culture and system.

In other words, unless China is willing to tie its own hands, the bald eagle will never sit idly by and watch China grow stronger.

It is unlikely that direct action will be taken, so small measures such as sanctions will inevitably be adopted.

However, when such means are used by a global hegemon like the bald eagle, the effect is naturally extraordinary.

No wonder Manager Hu wouldn't believe it.

"It's better to take precautions before they happen. I think Manager Hu should understand this principle."

"If we pin our hopes on others and do not master the core technology of development in our own hands, it will undoubtedly be like giving others a knife to stab ourselves."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

"If domestic high-end chips are all produced abroad, then we have no idea whether they will leave backdoors in the chips or implant other functional modules through leading technology levels."

"For example, eavesdropping has been exposed in the Prism program, but what if there are other functional modules? Every mobile phone has a battery. What if the mobile phone can be remotely controlled to self-ignite and explode?"

"What about secretly stealing data and uploading it, turning on location, and transmitting sensitive information?"

"A mobile phone can take photos, record audio and video. These functions are specially designed to run in the background without the owner knowing."

"Such a situation may or may not occur."

"But as long as our technology develops, such a situation will never happen!"

Wang Donglai's words were not alarmist, because he knew that these things had happened later.

But to Manager Hu, it sounded like alarmist talk.

However, Manager Hu was the leader after all. After hearing these words, he did not get angry, but became more determined in his thoughts.

"Professor Wang, after all this talk, I understand that you mean to insist on domestic production and independent R&D and production, right?"

Wang Donglai nodded without hesitation, admitted it, and said, "Yes!"

"Okay, in that case, I will inform Professor Wang about something."

"After a leadership meeting, the province decided to vigorously develop the semiconductor industry. Tangdu, as a core city, has rich talent resources in colleges and universities and a large number of research institutes. So it was decided to allocate some resources to the development of the semiconductor industry, and most of the colleges and universities will also join in."

“Gather the strength of everyone, divide the work and collaborate to achieve a breakthrough in semiconductor supply chain technology.”

"Well, what do you think, Professor Wang?"

After Manager Hu finished speaking, Wang Donglai looked quite shocked and surprised.

After hearing this, he understood that what Manager Hu had said before was actually to test him and see how determined he was.

"call!"

After exhaling a breath, Wang Donglai regained his composure.

"I really want it, and I dare not refuse it!"

"Hahaha, good, young people should have this kind of vigor and courage!" (End of this chapter)
