Ice carving machine rental starts in advance!

After Zhou Zhen heard the news, he couldn't sit still at all.

Ice engraving machine, Yuzhen Semiconductor is bound to win!

After all, the current Ropai company has gradually established a foothold in the entire technology circle, and with the continuous development in the future, many of Ropai's products that can be based on the ecology must require chips designed and produced by Yu Zhen.

Whether it is future digital equipment, new energy vehicles, or corresponding new smart home appliances.

These various products all require semiconductor chips to a greater or lesser extent.

Although this time the ice engraving machine, Yuzhen Semiconductor must be taken down.

Immediately afterwards, the person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also announced the rental price of each ice engraving machine this time.

The shortest rental time for an ice engraving machine is 5 years, and the longest is 8 years.

The rent for five years is 140 million Chinese national dollars, and a longer lease of 8 years will cost 200 million Chinese national dollars.

After the rental price of ice engraving machines was announced again, many large-scale semiconductor manufacturers are ready to make moves.

To be honest, the rental price announced this time is really too cheap.

Whether it is a 5-year term or an 8-year term, the price is much more cost-effective than buying it directly.

Besides, ice engraving machine technology is constantly being upgraded. Perhaps in five or eight years, the Chinese Academy of Sciences may be able to develop a better ice engraving machine.

At that time, you can replace the ice engraving machine with an updated one after the lease period ends, thereby saving costs.

The heads of many technology manufacturers present here, most of whom are businessmen in nature, are naturally very satisfied with the lease agreement proposed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After all, this pricing is very much in line with the current expectations of various technology companies.

This also allows various companies to start competing for the next quota.

"We at ZTE International are currently the most outstanding semiconductor foundry in mainland China, with one of the top 10 chip foundry production capacities in the world. We hope to obtain at least three quotas!"

The person in charge of ZTE International who came to the scene this time couldn't sit still at all, and directly stated his company's current demand for ice engraving machines.

ZTE International needs to rely on ice engraving machines to truly reverse the company's reputation and gain a more leading position in the entire semiconductor foundry field.

It’s just that the person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences directly poured cold water on ZTE International.

A new restriction has been added to the corresponding leasing conditions. Since the first batch of production capacity is not very large, each technology company can only obtain a leasing quota for one ice engraving machine at most.

"Those who need an ice carving machine can apply to me after the conference, and I will give you a reply at that time after review!"

The person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences looked meaningfully at the excited executives of various technology companies present, and said calmly to everyone present.

Obviously, all technology companies can apply for new products and technologies this time. Of course, the final review still requires corresponding review from above.

At this time, the heads of various technology companies were also starting to make moves. It was obvious that the first batch of ice engraving machines had basically become popular in the eyes of everyone.

The conference finally ended, and after the conference, Zhou Zhen directly submitted an application to the Chinese Academy of Sciences as the chairman of Yu Zhen Semiconductor Company.

Whether the ice engraving machine can be obtained smoothly will still need to wait for some time.

"Yu Zhen, HiSilicon didn't expect so many technology companies to submit applications to us!"

In a quiet small room at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, several old men were sitting at a round table looking at dozens of application forms.

After many considerations, several old men finally chose five technology companies, ZTE International, Kirin, Modu Microelectronics, Yuzhen Semiconductor, and Northwest Semiconductor Research Institute.

Obviously these five technology companies all have certain strengths, but three of the five technology companies are not specialized in the semiconductor foundry industry.

This is also the idea of ​​a few old guys!

After all, the country needs a semiconductor giant like Intel that can implement it from top to bottom, from design to production.

And now they are gambling! They are taking a risk-taking attitude to bring hope for the rise of China's semiconductor field.

Ten days after submitting the application, Roupai also received a call from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After learning that the application was approved, Zhou Zhen also showed an excited smile. Obviously, the opportunity for Yu Zhen Semiconductor to rise has finally come.

"We must prepare to establish corresponding dust-free workshops and corresponding OEM factories!"

"This chip foundry not only requires technology and talent, but also requires equally high demand for water and electricity!"

After Zhou Zhen got the accurate information, he silently took out his mobile phone and opened the map on the mobile phone. He was squinting and looking for something.

How to set up a specialized chip foundry not only requires professional engineers, but also has very high requirements for the production environment.

First of all, dust-free is the main production factor. After all, if there is a trace of dust or dirt during production, the refraction angle and diameter of the light will deviate after being irradiated by light.

Ultimately leading to etching failure!

Secondly, the demand for energy and water is also very huge.

After all, chip foundry is a very sophisticated industrial chain, and the production lines in it consume electricity that other factories cannot match.

Even the energy consumption level of a chip foundry can be equivalent to the energy consumption of a city.

At the same time, the heat generated in chip production needs to be continuously flushed with water, so the requirements and demands for water sources are also huge.

And the emergence of this ice engraving machine requires ensuring the purity of the ice during the etching process, and at the same time ensuring that the ice cannot melt during the corresponding process.

Ultimately, this means that the factory needs to produce ice with extremely high purity, and at the same time, during the production process, the temperature in the entire factory must be achieved below minus 10 degrees.

Even during the corresponding etching process, in the closed environment of the ice engraving machine, the temperature must be below minus 40 degrees to ensure the stability of the production process.

It can be said that the overall environmental requirements and corresponding cost levels for ice engraving machines to produce chips are higher than the production level of photolithography machines.

Now, Yu Zhen Semiconductor's headquarters is in Magic City, but Zhou Zhen has not considered building the factory in Magic City.

First of all, Magic City is a very large city, and its population ranks among the top five among domestic cities.

In the Magic City, the water and electricity consumption in one day is already a very scary and huge figure. At the same time, there are many factories around the Magic City, and the amount of water and electricity they consume is also not small.

Although the city is able to transfer electricity from the west line every year, it may be difficult to maintain the ability to maintain the power if there is suddenly such a big electricity consumer in the city.

After all, Zhou Zhen is worried that if the power supply on the western line suddenly decreases, production will be insufficient and production will eventually stop. If there is a problem with the OEM production, the loss to the company will be huge.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Zhou Zhen has no intention of establishing Yu Zhen Semiconductor's chip foundry factory in Shanghai.

Zhou Zhen even had a terrifying thought in his mind!

"How about building a power station that can produce electricity using tidal energy, and then rely on the corresponding power station to provide a steady stream of electrical energy output to the foundry!"

That's right! Build a power station that can generate electricity using tidal energy, and use this method to continuously deliver energy to your own foundries.

And tidal energy has a very environmentally friendly function, and it can also prevent the problem of insufficient power due to various factors.

"It's just that if you want to truly build a power station capable of generating tidal energy, you have to invest at least nearly 10 billion in preliminary preparations!"

"However, such a tidal energy power station currently needs to be built within half a year. If you want to speed up the project, at least the corresponding cost must be increased by nearly 100%!"

40 billion to build a power station!

This is even 10 billion higher than Zhou Zhen’s expected investment in building a foundry.

However, when such a power station is actually built, it will be able to provide sufficient power supply for Yuzhen Semiconductor and even Rouyu Company's factories in the future.

However, if the corresponding power station is to be actually constructed, it must obtain approval from above.

Of course, given the current cooperative relationship between Zhou Zhen and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is relatively easy to obtain such an approval.

In the construction of corresponding tidal power stations, some energy technologies that are beyond the current era will inevitably be used, which will inevitably attract the attention of some people.

After all, the tidal energy power generation technology used in most current tidal energy power stations is only in its infancy.

The current tidal energy conversion power generation technology owned by Zhou Zhen is at least twenty years ahead of the curve. Even under the same scale, the amount of electricity produced is about five times that of current tidal energy power stations.

And according to Zhou Zhen's plan, Hilly's tidal energy power station is a "u"-shaped mesh bag type parallel power station.

This corresponding model is basically a combination of seven power stations that utilize sufficient tidal energy to generate sufficient power generation.

And Zhou Zhen’s eyes were fixed on the far land point 45km away from the mouth of the Qiantang River!

It can fully enjoy the tidal energy brought by the ebb and flow of sea water, and at the same time, it will not affect the corresponding changes in the geographical environment.

According to Zhou Zhen's estimate, the annual power generation of this type of power generation is about 35 to 45 billion kilowatt hours.

This power generation efficiency can even rank among the top five domestic power stations, and can even supply power to the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions.
