Chapter 138 The Rise of Chips (1)

Huang Haojie shook his head and said:

"We don't need to think about power transmission for the time being. The current annual output of room-temperature superconductors is 400 to 500 tons, and the cost per ton is about 40 million yuan, which is equivalent to 40,000 yuan per kilogram."

"The cost is so high?" Du Wei said in surprise.

Su Langwen quickly explained: "The electricity bill alone is about 15 billion Chinese yuan a year. With other consumables and equipment maintenance, the annual cost is about 18 billion Chinese yuan."

Gulu! Wang Bosi and others couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"In addition, the construction cost of the X-ray base must be shared. In fact, the cost should be 60,000 yuan per kilogram." Su Langwen continued.

"The cost is really a bit high."

"It seems that there is really no need to think about power transmission."

"Even the country cannot afford it. Such a cost is simply overkill for power transmission."

Of course, Huang Haojie has no plans to use room-temperature superconductors for power transmission yet.

"Du Wei, you now start designing superconducting supercomputing chips."

"No problem. If the circuit material is replaced with superconductor, we can modify it from the previous supercomputing chip. Give me a month, and Star Map will definitely come up with a complete superconducting supercomputing chip solution." Du He nodded slightly and assured.

"Dr. Zhang, you, Galaxy Semiconductor, cooperate with Star Map Company."

"Yes, it is my honor to witness the birth of superconducting chips." Zhang Rujing did not expect that he would be able to see the birth and application of room-temperature superconductors in his lifetime.

"Yongdong, your neutron star is responsible for purifying the iron-silver alloy and purifying the iron-silver alloy as much as possible, because this is related to the service life of normal temperature superconductors."

"No problem, I will do my best." Huang Yongdong nodded quickly and assured.

"Bosi, you are in charge of the overall situation. We will make Galaxy Technology even greater." Huang Haojie laughed loudly.

"Yes, it is our honor to be able to create history." Wang Bosi nodded and agreed.

Following Huang Junjie's arrangements, everyone in the Galaxy Group was running wildly.

Zhuge Sansheng was confused after receiving Huang Junjie's order.

Purchasing silver? And the amount is as high as 5 billion yuan?

Huang Haojie didn't explain much. He just said that silver will become an important industrial raw material for Galaxy Technology and will need to be used in large quantities in the future.

Not only does the Mars Group need to acquire large quantities of silver, but it also needs to identify some silver mines to acquire, mine and store them in large quantities by itself.

Although he didn't know why Huang Junjie valued Baiyin so much, he knew that Huang Junjie's order must be implemented. Zhuge Sansheng quickly called several leaders of the group over.

“What is the approximate price of silver this year?”

Upon hearing this question, the person in charge of the market research department quickly said:

"President, the current silver price is between 3.76 and 3.85 Chinese yuan per gram."

"You should immediately study a plan to purchase 5 billion yuan of silver from international silver producers." Zhuge Sansheng said straight to the point. After he finished speaking, he added:

"It is to purchase 5 billion yuan within this year."

Purchasing 5 billion yuan of silver in one year? According to the current price, it is equivalent to more than 1,300 tons of silver.

Even if you invest in precious metals, it doesn't need to be on a large scale, right? Several people in charge looked at each other.

But Zhuge Sansheng had no intention of explaining to them. Huang Junjie told them to enter the village quietly and not to shoot.

"President, this may cause the international silver price to rise." the person in charge of the market research department reminded.

"I know, but this is the group's grand strategy and must be implemented. You must complete the procurement plan as soon as possible." Zhuge Sansheng ordered straightforwardly.

"Oh well."

Only a few responsible persons can take on this task.

Haicheng County, HiSilicon chip factory.

Yu Mingguang and others are inside the factory.

Galaxy Precision Instrument Company has debugged five 5-nanometer production lines for them.

These five production lines were leased to them by Galaxy Group and are now ready for use.

Next to Yu Mingguang were Zhang Guozhong, the president of HiSilicon, and Ma Chang, the vice president of supervision assigned to HiSilicon by Galaxy Group.

After more than half a year of revisions, HiSilicon has finally completed the design of the 5-nanometer Kirin 1000 chip.

Half a month ago, the design plan was handed over to Galaxy Semiconductor for original printing. Of course, this requires a fee. The cost of printing a 5-nanometer chip is 1 million yuan for a layer of circuits.

The Kirin 1000 chip has a total of 45 layers of circuits, so the engraving cost is 45 million yuan.

Watching the production line running rapidly, square wafers were fed into the circuit printing machine.

The Kirin 1000 chip designed by HiSilicon this time is expected to reach a computing speed of 40 billion operations per second, reduce energy consumption by 60%, and reduce chip heat by 80%.

"Mr. Ma, the efficiency of your production line has improved a lot!" Yu Mingguang knew that the initial chip production line had an annual output of only about 23 million pieces.

The annual output has now been increased to 43 million pieces.

"Advance with the times! We can't rest on our laurels! Haha!" Ma Chang replied with a smile.

"Haha, it's good to keep pace with the times!" Yu Mingguang certainly welcomed Galaxy Group to continue to improve its production lines.

After all, a production line requires a rent of 100 million yuan a year. The higher the annual output, which means that the cost allocated to each chip is getting lower and lower.

In fact, the current production cost of Kirin 1000 chips is about 80 Chinese yuan per piece. Of course, most of the cost is actually the profit of Galaxy Technology. The real cost is about 15 Chinese yuan per piece.

Even if you spend it like this, it is still profitable, and the profit is very large.

"By the way, Mr. Ma, let's discuss how about allocating more production lines to HiSilicon?" Yu Mingguang asked in a low voice.

"Um... This matter of production line allocation requires Mr. Wang's nod. It's useless even if I say it." Ma Chang spread his hands to express his helplessness.

"Mr. Ma, you know the current situation. This production line produces more than 200 million chips a year, which is not enough!" Yu Mingguang complained.

"Don't worry! Mr. Yu, six or seven more production lines should be allocated by the end of the year. In addition, Galaxy Precision Instrument Company is already planning to expand production. It is expected that the production line output will be doubled by next year." Ma Chang could only pick up the good ones. said.

"Next year? It seems that we need to discuss with BGI and let them help with some of the manufacturing." Yu Mingguang touched his chin and thought.

The reason why I looked for Huada Semiconductor was mainly because Huada Semiconductor was assigned the largest number of production lines, currently eight production lines.

Moreover, Ziguang is working hard to produce storage chips and low-end mobile phone chips, and there is no excess production capacity for Huawei.

More than six hours later.

The first batch of Kirin 1000 chips has finally rolled off the production line.

"Quick, test it." Yu Mingguang was both excited and nervous.

Soon the packaging and testing department will test the test data.

The finished product rate is 100%, the excellent product rate is 81.3%, the good product rate is 17.4%, and the defective product rate is 1.3%.

The peak computing speed of the chip is 46.1 billion operations per second, and the average is 42.3 billion operations per second.

Unit energy consumption dropped by 64%, and unit heat generation dropped by 82%.

"Haha, good, very good!" Yu Mingguang was ecstatic.

In this data, Kirin chip beats Qualcomm Snapdragon, Sanxin, and Sydney.

Nearly ten times the performance, now Yu Mingguang just wants to say: I want ten times!

He couldn't wait to hold a press conference to show off, and he was a little excited just thinking about it.
