The Rise Of Space Technology

In a classroom of Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute, scientists and researchers from many chip research groups such as Li Chun, Song Cang, and Jiang Wannian gathered to discuss chip research.

"In terms of existing computer technology, it is really not an easy task for us to re-study a set of architecture design, and we also need to develop corresponding architecture design software, which is even more difficult, although I have already We've hired more than 100 software engineers across the country, but we still haven't made much progress."

Jiang Wannian reported the chip architecture design and architecture software development to the project team.

Liu Yuan's support for the project team is undoubtedly huge, and the funds are tens of billions of dollars allocated casually, and the dignitaries have also asked the Human Resources Department to poach people all over the country.

The architecture and software research groups have recruited hundreds of software engineers to develop their own architecture design software and design their own chip architecture.

It's just that a lot of money has been spent and a lot of people have been recruited, but the research progress has been unsatisfactory.

On the contrary, Li Chun's side is making rapid progress. With Liu Yuan spending a lot of money, and with the addition of Liu Yuan, a talented scientist, he continues to bring out one item of technology from the seeds of inheritance.

In just about half a month, Li Chun made a huge breakthrough.

In the extraction of silicon, the Xinghai Research Institute has developed a new purification technology, which can not only purify silicon perfectly from the sand, but the purity of the purification exceeds 99.9999999%, which can reach the highest level of manufacturing. level chip requirements.

And in terms of cost, it is many times lower than the most advanced purification technology in the world, so that when mature silicon wafers are manufactured, the financial side calculates the cost, and Liu Yuan couldn't help it on the spot. To be scolded.

Now the price of wafers in the world is very expensive. Each standard 12-inch wafer, according to the grade used to manufacture different chips, the price ranges from 7,000 to more than 20,000. Wafers with higher precision requirements, The more expensive.

Wafers used to make the most advanced chips sell for even more, even more than 100,000 yuan.

However, after careful calculation by Xinghai Technology, it was found that even for wafers of the highest level chips, the cost of Xinghai Technology would not exceed 100 yuan.

In this way, the profits are terrifying.

Liu Yuan felt that buying 3,000 green coins for genetic diet pills costing dozens of dollars was already a black heart to his grandmother's house, but looking at these chip manufacturers, they are better than Liu Yuan.

Even their cost may be higher than that of Xinghai Technology, but the sale is so fresh, which is definitely faster than stealing money.

So much so that Liu Yuan scolded on the spot after seeing the cost data.

Hundreds of billions of green coins are spent on the purchase of chips a year, and the cost of the other party may not even be needed, but it is all profit. If no one breaks through this technology, the money is not worth it.

Li Chun's side is making rapid progress. At present, the wafer technology has made a breakthrough. Liu Yuan's side is also investing heavily in the construction of factories. In the future, large-scale production of wafers for chips will be possible.

At the same time, Liu Yuan and Li Chun have also started to study the lithography machine. If they can successfully overcome the lithography machine, it means that two of the four major problems in chip manufacturing have been overcome.

Such a rapid pace of progress also made the software team led by Jiang Wannian and Song Cang feel a lot of pressure.

Don't come, Liu Yuan and Li Chun have already researched all the related technologies, and they don't even have a clue on their own.

The chip is a systematic and huge project.

Not only hardware technology, but also software technology is very important, because the chip architecture design on a global scale and the software for developing the chip architecture are all in the hands of beautiful countries.

Even if you have made breakthroughs in hardware and can manufacture the most advanced chips, if you have not made breakthroughs in software, you will find your own way, and you will still be controlled by others.

With the beauty of the beautiful country, all your investment will be wasted when it is not worth it.

If nothing else, in terms of patent fees alone, they can make the cost of your chips rise to sky-high prices. Even if the technology is advanced and the cost is too high, you will be unprofitable, and the huge investment will be wasted.

"In my opinion, we may still be affected by the existing chip technology, and our thoughts and ideas are always limited to the existing technology, so we have never been able to break through."

Liu Yuan took a look at Jiang Wannian and Song Cang. During this time, Liu Yuan was not only busy with research on purifying silicon elements and manufacturing wafers, but also often visited the software team.

It is clear that Jiang Wannian and Song Cang have worked very hard, and the team they lead almost often works overtime until late at night, but they still don't have much clues.

"Limited to prior art?"

When Jiang Wannian, Song Cang and others heard it, they all looked at Liu Yuan in unison.

For Liu Yuan, it takes a long time to get along. Basically, everyone will be deeply impressed by Liu Yuan's evil spirit and genius. There are many things, even if it is the first time, Liu Yuan will learn a little, and he will soon be able to become this person. experts in the field.

During this period of research and purification of silicon elements, just like manufacturing wafers, Liu Yuan proposed many methods and ideas. Almost every method and idea can greatly accelerate the maturity of wafer technology. With him, in just half a month In the time since then, the mature technology of purifying silicon element to manufacture wafers has been developed. Even more prescient, reliable, and lower cost than international technologies.

So as soon as Liu Yuan spoke, everyone immediately listened carefully. Liu Yuan's brain didn't know how to do it, and his thoughts were like antelope hanging horns, and he was always able to think of some methods and methods that no one could think of at all.

"Existing chip and computer technology can be said to be very mature and have developed to an extreme."

"These frameworks, software designs, etc., derived from existing technologies, have been honed for decades, and have almost reached their peak."

"It is very difficult for us to make a breakthrough in such an environment."

"It's like a painting with splendid mountains and rivers already painted on it. It may be difficult for us to add a single stroke to it, let alone make breakthroughs based on it, and then find another way."

Liu Yuan took out a picture and explained it to everyone in detail.

The reason is actually very simple. Now that computer technology is very mature, it is very difficult to make breakthroughs.

In terms of software design, the current framework, design soft armor, etc., because the people in the beautiful country occupy the first advantage, so they occupy almost all directions and fields, and your latecomers can only be based on them. Plan the direction and path to move forward.

This also means that under the existing computer technology, they will always be undefeated, because they have mastered all the rules and roads, and they can win while sitting and charging royalties.

"You mean we're going to re-break everything that exists?"

Jiang Wannian thought for a while and said.

"Yes~"

"Since the existing computer technology has been fully mastered by them, we can no longer make breakthroughs."

"Why are we still working on these things, why don't we just repaint on a blank sheet of paper?"

Liu Yuan nodded solemnly, then took out a blank piece of paper and said, "Since they have mastered all the framework technologies and software technologies of binary computers, why don't we study ternary, quaternary, and quinary systems? , or even decimal technology?"

"And computer technology is not limited to current technology. Can we study photonic computers and quantum computers?"

Liu Yuan smiled and nodded.

The advantages of binary computers are very obvious. Based on the algorithm of 0 and 1, combined with the on and off of the circuit, it is very easy to implement in the circuit, very concise and efficient.

But binary computers also have some shortcomings. When representing a number, there are too many digits, and octal and hexadecimal are often used.

And because of the characteristics of binary computers, the requirements for chips are getting higher and higher. Under the huge computing load, the temperature of computer chips will become higher and higher.

At the same time, because it is only based on the judgment of yes and no, this brings great obstacles and limitations to artificial intelligence technology. Sometimes the judgment of a transaction is not only based on yes and no, but also unknown and other situations.

This is also the reason why the development of computer technology is getting slower and slower now. It is difficult for technology to make leap-forward breakthroughs, and it has developed to a peak.

Among the seeds of inheritance, Liu Yuan is based on many computer technologies, photon computers, quantum computers, and space computers, and even among the top civilizations in the universe, there are cosmic computers.

Any kind of computer technology will completely destroy the existing binary computer technology.

"Repaint on blank paper?"

"A ternary computer?"

"Photonic computer?"

"Quantum computer?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened slightly.

What the hell is this Liu Yuan's head thinking? He actually thinks of ternary computers, photonic computers, and quantum computers. You don't treat everyone as a human at all, just come here with your mouth open.

It is difficult to do research on the existing basis, but do you think it is really easy to draw on blank paper?

Ternary computers, quantum computers, and photonic computers, if everyone follows you like this, they will die on this computer sooner or later. How could these technologies be so easily researched.
