"Mr. Chen, how is the current status of the equipment entering the factory?"
"About 60% has been completed. Currently, our joint engineer team with Jinghai is working overtime to debug the factory equipment and install the production line according to the design drawings!"
"Well! We must strictly control it, and there must be no mistakes.
This production line is related to the fate of our entire company and even the entire industry, so we cannot be careless at all!"
"Understood! Don't worry, even if we sleep on the production line, we will ensure that the mass production plan is completed as soon as possible!"
"Yeah!" Mr. Yu nodded.
After leaving Su City, he did not return directly to Yangcheng. Instead, he came to Hujian in a low-key manner in order to personally supervise the implementation of the first optical chip production line.
Next to him is Professor Chen, the chief technical director of the newly established optical chip R&D department "Breaking Dawn" and the most authoritative top technical expert within Sihai Company.
“But I really didn’t expect that the company’s ‘Nanniwan Plan’ would suddenly make such a big noise.
Large-scale integrated optical chips... were actually realized so quickly.
Mr. Yu, can you tell me now which dean is it that has made such amazing achievements?"
When Mr. Yu heard this, he felt helpless.
This is not the first time these technical veterans have asked this question.
It's just that even he himself isn't sure of the answer, let alone giving it to them.
In order to find a source for this technology, they can only claim that this major breakthrough is one of the results of their own spare tire plan...
"Mr. Chen, please stop asking. You must also know what the situation of our domestic chip talents has been in recent years.
Don’t say it’s you, even I don’t know about this, it’s the company’s top secret!”
"That's it..."
Although he was a little disappointed, Mr. Chen understood.
In order to protect its last information highland, almost the entire Western world is restricting China's self-research capabilities in chips. In recent years, various "unfortunate" incidents have occurred one after another for domestic experts in this field.
What about jumping off a building due to depression, or about a flight crashing?
No one can tell whether this is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster...
If it is really exposed that there are talents of this level in the country, the enemy will probably be the most frantic target.
In fact, this is also the speculation of Mr. Ren and Mr. Yu on the reason why the "inventor" needs to be "anonymous"...
Science has no borders, whoever believes in it will be foolish!
"By the way, Mr. Yu, although we have been as reserved as possible, the people in Jinghua still learned a lot of data during the cooperation process.
Their person in charge came to me yesterday and wanted to get our authorization to develop matching optical memory modules based on the technology of this chip."
"Really?" Mr. Yu's eyes lit up.
"It seems that Jinghua wants to get up wherever he falls..."
Everyone knows that the dilemma Jinghua faced before was the memory dispute with Micron, that is, DRAM (memory).
Jinghua's senior officials clearly see hope in avenging shame...
Mr. Chen smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I have seen their idea, which mainly uses GST phase change materials as storage units and sends optical pulses through waveguides to read and write data.
Although the consumer level is still somewhat difficult, with Jinghua’s technology accumulation, it should not be a big problem to develop an optical storage module for large data centers first.
Once the other party is successfully developed, our ‘A’ will undoubtedly receive greater performance support!”
"A" can only be regarded as an "optoelectronic chip" at present, but after solving the problem of starting something from scratch, the road ahead will be smooth.
Although the chip is the core, the excellence of the terminal depends not only on the chip, but also on functional accessories such as storage.
The chip determines the processing speed, and the storage determines the speed of data reading and writing.
Without optical storage matching the optical chip, even if an optical chip is used, photoelectric conversion is still required, and the read and write speed can only be equivalent to that of the electronic chip at best, which virtually limits the performance of the optical chip.
Rome was not built in a day. Similarly, "light ecology" cannot be achieved overnight and requires the joint efforts of a large number of supporting industries.
“Of course there’s no problem with licensing, we don’t want to keep this technology secret.
Not only do we need to empower our supply chain, and when the time is right, we also need to hold an industry ecological seminar as soon as possible to mobilize the R&D power of the world!"
"Yeah! That's what I thought too. By the way, speaking of this... the person in charge of Jinghua also told me a very important news."
"what news?"
"I'm afraid someone has already focused on our project!" Mr. Chen said seriously.
"What?!" Mr. Yu was stunned.
"Someone spent 100,000 US dollars to buy a senior executive from Jinghua.
Although that guy finally had some conscience and quietly revealed the news, some of our project information should have been leaked..."
"Um……"
Mr. Yu frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed his brows, and just smiled.
"Forget it, such a big project can be hidden for a while, but not forever. We didn't expect to be able to keep it secret for long.
Now that the equipment has arrived at the factory, the project will soon require a large number of staff. There are many people talking, and confidentiality is impossible to talk about.
If we continue to cover it up, the progress of our project will be slowed down...
It seems that the industry ecology seminar is coming...I have to go back immediately to start preparations..."
"Mr. Yu, what do you mean..."
"Well! It's almost time to make the project public!"
…
A few days later, an explosive piece of news came out, which instantly overshadowed the hotly debated "new theory of the origin of the universe" and shot up to the top of the topic in a short period of time -
Juchang held a press conference and officially announced the establishment of the "optical chip" R&D department "Breaking Dawn" and completed a major breakthrough in this field!
Mr. Yu proudly announced that the world's first landmark commercial optical chip "A" has completed tape-out!
The computing speed of "A" is about 3200TFlops, which is three orders of magnitude higher than traditional electronic chips!
The power consumption per unit photonic chip is 4W, which is about one percent of the power consumption of the corresponding traditional chip!
The technology community was still stunned by this explosive data and could not react.
But they didn't give everyone time to digest it.
It was announced again that the first optical chip production line will be built in Hu, and will be manufactured by Jinghua Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd.
The first batch of mass production will be completed by next year at the latest!
Due to production factors, it is temporarily not available for external sales...
But as expected, “A” will be installed for the first time on Juchang’s latest model, the Mate30, next year!
"Damn! It's not true!"
"Ju Chang, don't imitate those third-rate tabloid headline-makers! I'll really believe it if you tell me!"
"Damn it! No wonder they have the confidence to challenge the world's most powerful country. If you don't want to sell me, I will build it myself, and I will create the next generation... awesome!"
"Soliton frequency combs, silicon-based lasers, microcavity optical comb integration... so many related problems, you tell me that they have been solved at once?
So what exactly is the so-called ‘frontier’ that I have studied in the past few years?”
"I don't understand, but it's 666!"
"Hahaha! This situation should come to light!
Dawn, this is a good name! It is darkest before dawn, and what pierces this darkness...is light!"
"Do you...believe in the light?
Sorry! From today on, light is my belief!"
"..."
It would be fine if this were preliminary results from the laboratory.
Can... design, finalize, tape out, mass produce...
In one day, from scratch to something, Juchang completely released a super shocking bomb!
The optical chip "A", which has always been a concept, was born and shocked the whole world!
At the same time, the poor CIA director is also burnt on the outside and tender on the inside...
He watched the live broadcast of the press conference, and his face turned black to the bottom of a pot, and it was still black with purple...
I know that science is accidental, but this thing also says that breakthroughs can be achieved?
Then weren’t the things I did before completely useless?
5nm and 3nm are not sold?
Here I am still asking for one nanometer for one nanometer, but others just start with "three orders of magnitude ahead"?
How to fight this?!
If the other party has this thing, what should I do with my numerous follow-up banning plans?
I've spent all the money, and I've taken care of everything, little brother, and I'm going to lay out a dragnet and prepare to chase you!
Now you tell me not to follow this path?
This second fire of mine is no longer half-burned and someone poured cold water on it. It is a spark that I don’t intend to leave for myself!
This is like holding back a big move for a long time and carefully preparing a set of thirteen deadly swords.
As a result, I just made a starting move...
When someone comes face to face, they will return to the clan with ten thousand swords?
