Loongson 4 was officially launched and caused a sensation all over the world. Although it is still a product using 0.13 micron technology and has not entered the 90-nanometer era, its appearance represents the further development of computer technology: the frequency is already high enough, and it has begun to move towards
Multi-core development!
In comparison, AMD's products, which are manufactured by SMIC, are not that attractive. They are completely covered up under the halo of Loongson 4, but in fact, AMD's k7 processor still has many advantages compared to before.
Great progress.
"Using advanced technology, the heat generated by our k7 processor has been greatly reduced, and its performance completely exceeds Intel's latest processor!" Mayer said excitedly to Sanders after completing the test.
: "From now on, our k7 processor can fully occupy the domestic market!"
"Yes, we finally defeated Intel, and we still used the foundry method." Sanders murmured: "Although we succeeded, I still can't be happy."
The performance of Loongson 4 is so advanced that other processor manufacturers cannot catch up with Loongson. They can only follow behind and silently be the second child for thousands of years. However, for AMD, being the second child should be used to it.
Well, at least they defeated the former boss.
Many domestic departments will not purchase Loongson, and they need advanced processors, so they can only purchase AMD's products. This means that AMD will occupy the processor market of domestic government and other departments in the United States. As for
Only the remnants of the old Intel are left hanging on.
While everyone was discussing, a man walked in.
"Wayne, what are you doing here?" When he saw this man, Sanders instinctively felt waves of nausea.
That's right, it's this annoying guy! He's plotting against AMD behind his back. Originally AMD was sincerely seeking help from SMIC, but it was almost considered an accomplice to deceive SMIC.
Fortunately, now that they have finally put aside their previous suspicions, SMIC has also produced the k7 processor using advanced technology, and they can breathe a sigh of relief.
Wayne looked at everyone present: "Everyone, your behavior makes us feel ashamed. As the most advanced computer processor manufacturer in the United States, we actually want to cooperate with SMIC!"
"Shame? Mr. Wayne, our cooperation is approved by the White House! If you come here to insult us, you can leave now. If you have other purposes, you can leave as well. We are just a company.
Our number one goal is profitability," Sanders said.
He's already chasing people away!
After hearing what Sanders said, Wayne smiled: "Sure enough, for businessmen, interests come first. They would rather collaborate with the enemy than give up their interests."
"Mr. Wayne, if you continue to say such nonsense, I will ask security to escort you out." Sanders's face was serious. Why did you come here to make sarcastic remarks? Believe it or not, no one noticed after you left.
Sap on the street corner?
"Mr. Sanders, I am here on an important mission." Wayne said: "The White House is very worried about our lagging behind in the high-tech field, and hopes that we can quickly catch up and surpass it. So, I hope you can
Provide some suggestions on how we can overtake the East in the chip field."
We definitely can’t let an Easterner be the boss!
The suppression in the iron ore field has failed, and the technology in the chip field cannot be compared. The people in the White House are very angry. However, the latter has nothing to do with Wien, and Wien is not a technical person.
Sanders kept a dark face and said nothing.
"After discussion, the White House decided to use sanctions. We need to find the flaws of Loongson 4, then issue high-priced fines, and finally ban this chip from being listed in our United States, and in Europe, we will block their export roads.
." Wayne said: "What do you think of this method?"
"Banned from our market?" Sanders said with sarcasm on his face: "Is this the kind of bullshit solution that elites come up with? If we have the same type of products, or even more advanced products, of course we can
Do whatever you want with them, just like you did in the automotive field. However, in the chip field, Loongson has no intention of exporting. They are just unwilling to let those black-hearted businessmen make money, so they raise the price to engage in exporting.
"
"Now, if we want to issue high-price fines and ban chip sales, it will only play a role in making it impossible for us to obtain Loongson 4 processors at an affordable price in China. It is the same as the original Loongson 3, and the price is the same, but in the East
The unit of sales is RMB, and the unit of sales here is US dollars. We will pay seven or eight times the price to buy a processor with the same performance. We are the biggest victim!" Sanders said: "How can high-tech companies be afraid?
They won't pay the fine at all, and at worst they will withdraw from our market."
"What should we do? It's a pity that Loongson and SMIC are not listed on the market. Otherwise, we can defeat them in the capital market."
Generally speaking, companies under the banner of high-tech will go public. A large amount of funds can be raised through the stock market. Playing with chips costs money. Ordinarily, it is better to go public to raise funds. However, none of these companies in the East have
To go public, they relied on Mingzhou Group’s abundant funds!
Now, it has also led to another result: it is too difficult to do anything to Loongson and SMIC!
"Damn it, I don't believe it. We have no way to deal with Dongfang." Wayne said.
"The sudden rise of the East depends on its technical route." Sanders said: "A few years ago, when Lin Benjian proposed the immersion lithography machine, no one cared about it. Everyone thought it was a fantasy. However, the people of the East
But they hired Lin Benjian with a high salary to build this kind of lithography machine, which made their lithography machine technology improve a lot in an instant."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Speaking of this, Silicon Valley is wailing.
At first, Lin Benjian took his invention and asked for help everywhere. However, no lithography machine giant was willing to use his design. In fact, everyone thought it was nonsense and soaked the lithography machine in water? What circuits have you seen that were soaked in water?
In the water? Or soaked in the water on purpose?
During that time, Lin Benjian was a joke in Silicon Valley. Later, Lin Benjian disappeared, and everyone didn’t know where Lin Benjian went. It was not until later that SMIC tinkered with the 0.13 micron process that everyone knew.
Lin Benjian’s idea is correct!
The laser light source used by traditional lithography machines is 193 nanometers, which means that it can only process up to 0.18 microns (supposedly 193 nanometers should be 0.19 microns, but why the process is all 0.18 microns, East China Heroes does not know,
It is said that the process at this time has no moisture. When it comes to later nanometers, 7 nanometers, etc., the moisture is really big. Intel stopped at 14 nanometers for so long. In fact, if we follow the real rules, TSMC’s nanometer and 7 nanometers
, is not more advanced than Intel's 10nm, TSMC's process is full of water), if you go further, you have to find a new light source.
In this regard, various lithography machine giants, such as Nikon, IBM, etc., are looking for new light sources and using lasers with shorter wavelengths for lithography, so that they can continue to improve the process.
However, doing so costs a lot of money and takes a long time. Now, various companies have not yet mastered the 17nm photolithography method. When they plan to advance to 0.1 micron, Dongfang has invented the wet photolithography method and directly surpassed it.
17 nanometers, through the refraction of light, progressed to 13 nanometers, achieving a 0.13 micron process.
This is technically overtaking on a curve.
If we continue to reduce the price from 13 nanometers to 90 nanometers, we will of course need to choose a new light source. On this road, Dongfang may take a long time, but they have already left their opponents behind in the 0.13 micron process.
Ultimately, the profits gained from this process are enough to support their development of more advanced processes.
The one who masters this technique first will eat meat, and the one who masters this technique later will only eat shit.
The East has already mass-produced it, and the West has just begun to move in this direction, which is already lagging behind. Then, when they spend a lot of money to research it, the East will definitely sell this kind of lithography machine in large quantities, which will cost them a lot of money.
There is no market for the lithography machines developed by the company, and various chip giants are definitely willing to use Dongfang's lithography machines, because they have been running for several years and their performance has been stable. Nikon and the like are making immersion lithography machines for the first time.
God knows if there will be water leakage or something.
In this way, by the time the West enters the 0.13-micron process, the East will probably have already developed the 90-nanometer process. They will fall behind everywhere and will no longer be able to catch up.
Thinking of this, Sanders was filled with emotion. The fight in the chip field is like this. I wonder how many chip companies will survive in the future.
"Then what solution do we have? Can we trick those people into coming to the West, and then lock them up and sentence them?" Wein said.
"Huh, if I want to deceive you, go ahead and don't try to trick our AMD company." Sanders has already been deceived once, and of course he won't be deceived a second time.
Wayne frowned: "Sanders, we have to consider the interests of the entire West. If the East becomes the strongest in the chip field, then our wealth will continue to flow to the East, and our outstanding talents will continue to flow to the East.
Talent will also be lost, and in the end, what will we have left?”
"If you want to consider it for us, then there is only one way." Sanders said: "Unite all the companies that manufacture lithography machines and let them work together to develop new light sources and wet lithography methods.
, In this way, our process will directly cross 0.13 micron, reach the 90 nanometer field, and reoccupy the market. But, it is difficult. "
In Western countries, companies are all private and everyone is in a competitive relationship. Only in this way can we develop healthily and allow everyone to unite and share all their technical secrets?
This is simply impossible!
Unless it is a merger, let a lithography machine giant merge other lithography machine companies. However, the current situation is that the lithography machines of each company are only a small part of their huge business, and they have other
business, how could they allow their subsidiaries to be merged?
"Unite? This is a good idea." Wayne said: "Next, we need to unite and defeat the East together!"
Facing Dongfang's Loongson 4 processor, all chip companies have felt the crisis. They want to stay together and unite!
However, Dongfang is not afraid. As the scale of Loongson continues to expand, the ecosystem belonging to Loongson has been established!
Goose Factory played a big role in this. All Goose Factory's software has been specially optimized for Loongson. And their software has become popular all over the world, and is used by users all over the world. When they find that the software
When running faster on a Loongson computer than on other computers, you will naturally choose a Loongson computer.
This forms a healthy development.
In this war in the chip field, Mingzhou Group also achieved a complete victory. However, Qin Tao did not feel complacent about it, because he knew that another major event would happen this year, and this major event was also related to
It has something to do with the chip.
The red flag car was driving among the high mountains. In the car, Xu Zhengyang was communicating with Qin Tao excitedly.
"Mr. Qin, is everything you said true?"
"Zhengyang, you have been following me for so many years. When did you see that my inference was wrong?" Qin Tao said: "However, I have nothing to do in the country, so you don't have to follow me all the time. Your most important thing at the moment is
, or go to the southern sea to build a lighthouse.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Mr. Qin, I know what you mean." Xu Zhengyang said: "He Qian and I have already discussed it. When the construction work over there is completed, we will
Just get married."
"Okay, you kid is finally going to achieve righteousness." Qin Tao was immediately overjoyed.
Zhao Ling also smiled beside her: "Brother Zhengyang, congratulations."
"Thanks to your help, He Qian and I can get together. However, we have discussed that we should still focus on work. It is enough that we have each other in our hearts. There is no need to always stay together. After all, we
Everyone has their own job."
"Okay, when the construction tasks there are completed, let He Qian retire from the army and come to our Mingzhou Group. There are many positions in our group that are suitable for her," Qin Tao said.
"Mr. Qin, she has her ideals and pursuits. You'd better not interfere in her life."
"No, I have to intervene. I have been separated for several years and know the pain of separation. After you get married, you cannot continue to be a monk. If she doesn't want to retire, she can come to our Mingzhou Group to be a military representative."
Xu Zhengyang didn't say anything and continued driving. A city in a mountainous area appeared in front of him.
The former 061 base is now called Guizhou Aerospace Industry Company. The main product produced by this company is the Kaishan missile!
This missile can be considered an upgraded version of the Hongqi missile. It still uses radio command guidance. The technology is backward, so it has not been recognized by the military. Every year, the 061 base brings its precious products to air shows in various places.
However, no customers came to the door. Later, the first customer came.
They did not give up and continued to improve their products, making the performance of the Kaishan missile more and more advanced. Finally, it was recognized by the military and was given the number Hongqi 1. Later, further improved models would be named Hongqi.
.
Currently, Kaishan Missile has only one customer, and this customer recently came to Base 061 for training.
"Mr. Qin, welcome to Base 061." When Mr. Chen learned that Qin Tao was coming, he was very excited and had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Well, Mr. Chen, how are the training of those guests?"
"They work very hard every day, especially the radar officer. They stare at the screen every day and are really afraid of damaging their eyes." Mr. Chen said: "Mr. Qin, will the situation you are worried about happen?"
"Whether it is possible or not, they must be prepared. Once the worst happens, they will face the threat of stealth aircraft." Qin Tao said: "At that time, our Kaishan missile will also be famous.
Opportunity for the ages.”
"Okay." Mr. Chen nodded: "Mr. Qin, I will take you to see it."
The flagship product of Base 061 is the Kaishan missile. They not only develop advanced missile systems, but also develop a training simulator. When Qin Tao walked to the training simulator, he heard commands coming from inside.
"Weak echo found!"
"Fifty percent of the radar waves will pass through!"
"The target echo is stronger!"
"Prepare to lock the target!"
These passwords were not in Eastern dialect, and Qin Tao could not understand them. However, he could hear the murderous intent in the words.
The war is approaching them step by step, and they must work hard to prepare themselves!
There was the sound of the door opening outside, but no one turned around. For them, nothing was more important than training.
"emission!"
"Two volleys hit the target!"
After a training session ended, one of them raised his head and looked towards the door. When he saw the person coming in, he immediately became excited: "Mr. Qin?"
"Danny, are you used to it here?" Qin Tao asked.
"Mr. Qin, you actually remember me?" Zoltan Danny was very surprised.
"Of course I remember. I also remember that you were the commander of the 0 anti-aircraft missile brigade. What now?"
"Now it's 1." Danny said excitedly: "After we purchased these missiles, we were not willing to throw away the old equipment, so we established a new 1st Air Defense Missile Brigade to specialize in operating Kaishan missiles."
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, you can't throw away old equipment. It will always be useful. By the way, I think your training is very good."
"Yes, we have been able to get full marks on the computer, but Mr. Qin, you also know that this kind of simulation is not like actual combat after all. We look forward to having a real operational experience before ending the training," Danny said.
.
Mr. Chen showed a wry smile there. This request has been shouted out since they came here for training. They have been shouting it until now. How could Mr. Chen be the master? If you want real experience, you have to coordinate a stealth aircraft to come over and be invisible.
Can a machine be easily mobilized? Therefore, he did not report this request to his superiors at all!
After all, the training given to them this time is also a bonus. Mr. Qin made the suggestion a few months ago to call these missile operators over and conduct simulated training on the computer to see how many years they have received the equipment.
, what is the operating level?
Who would have thought that they actually made bigger demands.
Qin Tao nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I will coordinate it for you, but I have a request."
"any request?"
"When you actually shoot down the stealth aircraft on the battlefield, I want the remains of those stealth aircraft." Qin Tao said, "Whether it's an F-117 or a B-, I want it."
Danny's eyes lit up: "Without Dongfang's equipment, we wouldn't be able to shoot down the stealth aircraft, and the wreckage we shot down would be useless. After the exhibition, we can give it to you."
Danny couldn't make the decision, but he believed that his superiors valued the friendship with Dongfang very much. At this critical moment, only Dongfang people were willing to take action, and of course they would send away the wreckage.
Mr. Chen's face was very complicated. Mr. Qin said this as if this kind of thing would really happen. Without the authorization of the United Nations, those hegemonic forces would dare to attack a sovereign country?
However, if they really shoot down a stealth aircraft, their Kaishan missile will become famous all over the world.
Qin Tao not only agreed, but also acted quickly. On the next day, a J1 radar vehicle was deployed in the mountains around the 061 base.
The huge flat-panel antenna represents the advancement of this radar vehicle: it uses a phased array system. This radar is also the key to detecting stealth aircraft!
"After this period of training, we have been able to find out from the weak echo what echo is from the stealth aircraft, and then adjust the beam. However, after all, we are using computer simulations, not real ones. Before returning to China, we can
It is not easy to experience the real process of discovering a stealth machine. Thank you Mr. Qin for giving us this opportunity."
Zoltan Danny was very excited.
"Danny, we have an idiom in the East called self-contradiction." Qin Tao said: "A person sells spears and shields. In this way, using one's own spear against one's own shield, which one is better is really difficult to answer.
The problem is, the experiment we are conducting is also self-contradictory. No matter what the results of the exercise are, you cannot leak the secret."
"Of course not." Danny said: "If we can't find the target, it only means that the performance of your stealth machine is too good."
At this moment, there was a rumble in the valley in the distance, and the stealth plane had already flown over.
In the radar car, the atmosphere was highly tense.
Stealth aircraft are ghosts in the dark. It is daytime and the black stealth aircraft can be easily seen with the naked eye, but what about on the radar screen?
"The echo is too weak and cannot be captured!"
"Unable to transfer into lock!"
"Damn it, what should I do?"
While they were cursing, the stealth aircraft in the sky opened the bomb bay door.
Wow!
This time, the echo of the stealth machine quickly became larger!
