Chapter 267 Take a step back, the more you think, the more angry you are
"Has this thing really been created?" Pan Yu asked again.
"Yes, what you have in front of you is! A smart chip made with 3nm-level process technology! The Sun 822 smart chip!" Yu Liming proudly announced, "The best 5G smart chips on the market now are not even comparable to it.
, its processing speed has reached a new peak, its size is smaller and its performance is stronger!”
"And the most important thing is that we not only developed it, but also mastered the cost-saving mass production technology. This is not only the whole of China, but also the first company in the world to mass-produce 3nm smart chips!"
When he finished his announcement, all the people present with a combined net worth of tens of billions collectively lost their voices!
For a person who does not understand chip technology, he may hear it indifferently. But only those who know the difficulty will be shocked by this sentence!
How many years? How many years has a chip technology troubled China? Over the past few decades, China has always been dominated by others in chip technology.
So much so that companies such as Qualcomm, Samsung, and Broadcom dared to harvest China's consumer electronics manufacturing industry unscrupulously. Behind the skyrocketing sales of China's domestic brand mobile phones, these overseas capitals were laughing.
Without core technology, it's like being strangled by someone's neck. As long as you don't satisfy them at all, they will kill you! The examples of Zhongxing and Huawei make every domestic brand tremble with fear.
In order to prevent something like this from happening again, the country has also invested a lot of money in research and development, but until now, the top chip technology is still in the hands of those foreign manufacturers.
Today, the Deep Space Semiconductor Institute not only broke the blockade, but also did it better than them! This is simply a miracle!
Pan Yu knew that if this news was released, the whole of China would be excited about it. From now on, those foreign manufacturers will be so scared that they can't sleep at night!
"It's finally out!" Pan Yu was so excited that his hand holding the small box was trembling.
"From today on!" Meng Xiaobai also had an irrepressible emotion rolling in his chest. He announced loudly: "Our deep space technology is no longer afraid of any opponents. We can finally stand up and compete with those technological overlords.
!”
"Great!" Gao Yuan's eyes sparkled.
"Our own chip!" Qiao Jian felt goosebumps all over her body. With this chip, they can develop artificial intelligence technology more deeply. Those genius-like ideas finally have a way to carry them.
container!
"Unexpectedly, one day, we can achieve this point, and it is so fast and so sudden!" Gan Huarong felt the same way.
At the scene, only Wang Yuanhang still had a cold expression. Such things could not make his expression fluctuate at all.
When Yu Liming saw this, he laughed and said: "When I found out about it, to tell you the truth, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights. This matter must be kept secret. I was almost exhausted!"
"Mr. Meng, when will we announce this news?" Pan Yu grabbed Meng Xiaobai's arm excitedly and asked. He couldn't wait to see the panic of those who were waiting to see the deep space technology joke.
"It will still be kept secret for a month or two!" Meng Xiaobai calmed down and said, "Although we have developed the chip now, we have not officially started production." Our wafer factory still needs a month to complete the production line."
A photolithography machine is used to carve circuits on the silicon wafer, and the unnecessary areas are etched away and then packaged to form the chip. The silicon wafer fab is the most important factory for producing smart chips.
Deep Space Semiconductor has long developed this 3nm process Sun 822 smart chip, and is also building a wafer factory. As for the equipment, Bruce Wayne has helped, and with robot assistance, it is not a problem.
"The wafer fab is already under construction! Mr. Meng is indeed far-sighted!" Qiao Jian said with emotion.
"Yes!" Yu Liming said, "Actually, we started building the wafer fab two years ago. The total investment for the 3nm-level chip wafer fab will reach 18 billion U.S. dollars! This is a project worth hundreds of billions of Chinese coins.
!”
"My God, this money... I have never seen it in company reports." Gao Yuan was surprised, "How can we have so much money?"
"Of course you don't invest so much at once, but in batches!" Meng Xiaobai said with a smile, "Don't you always criticize us for investing money in deep space semiconductors every year without seeing any results? This is the result, we are just now
With an initial investment of 20 billion, the production scale is very small, and I can barely use it myself."
"When we have more funds, we will continue to expand the scale."
"At that time, everyone, our Deep Space Semiconductor will be no worse than any company you manage!" Yu Liming proudly took over Meng Xiaobai's words.
"Chip is a high-tech monopoly industry. If it can be profitable, I can't even imagine it!" Gao Yuan felt that her worldview had been refreshed today. The deep space technology she had been working on actually had hidden powerful capabilities.
"Three years of silence will lead to a blockbuster; three years of silence will lead to a blockbuster success!" Pan Yu congratulated, "Then we will wait for the day when deep space semiconductors will soar into the sky and attract the attention of the world!"
"Almost!" Meng Xiaobai said, "In these two months, let Qualcomm, Samsung, and Apple dance around for a while. If we don't make a move, we will be killed. Once we make a move, we will kill them!"
…
After going to Deep Space Semiconductor, the senior executives of Deep Space Technology were very confident when they returned to work. Even their subordinates felt baffled. It was clearly spreading outside that Deep Space Technology had reached a critical moment. If it could not survive smoothly, it might be...
Like Zhongxing Group, which was sanctioned by the United States, it failed to recover.
But these bosses are so confident that they don't even see any sense of crisis. Are they confident or complacent?
Deep Space Technology is not in a hurry, its fans are.
Every fan came to the official website and official account to leave messages and help Deep Space Technology find a solution.
Xize: "@深空科技, why don't you take action? The chips are all gone!"
Zhao Rourou: "Hey, without Qualcomm's chips and Samsung's memory, the Mars phone would be useless."
Just call me Xiao Zhang: "It took a lot of effort to come up with a domestically produced mobile phone with good conscience, but it is suddenly going to be out of date."
Huanghuang: "It's better to compromise with Qualcomm. If the price increases, the price will increase. I will pay more. We will develop chips when we have money. We will not be so angry in the future!"
Magnanimity is light: "Endure the calm for a while, and take a step back to open up the world."
The pub does not sell alcohol: "What will happen to the new phones at the end of the year? I still hope that Mars phones will release new models. Now, will Mars smartphones use 4G chips? Now there are 5G phones, and no one will buy 4G."
The outside world is waiting for Deep Space Technology's next move. Everyone speculates that Deep Space Technology will definitely negotiate with Qualcomm and Samsung Electronics and be forced to accept their price increase demands.
However, a few days later, the official account of Deep Space Technology posted a new update, which read: "Everyone, please rest assured that we will definitely release new machines on time. We are currently purchasing lithography machines from ASML..."
Under the dynamic, there is also an emoticon: "The more you think about it, the angrier it becomes. The more you take a step back, the more you will lose."
As soon as the news came out, the media was in an uproar again.
The cutting-edge science and technology media has always paid close attention to Deep Space Technology. As soon as the news came out, they immediately wrote a report: "Deep Space Technology really plans to develop its own chips and purchase lithography machines from ASML?"
The report wrote: "The chip is the heart of electronic products, and its importance goes without saying. Due to technical reasons, my country's chip development is still in its infancy. Some people may ask, with 1.4 billion people in China, how difficult is it to make a small chip? Is it so difficult? Indeed, it is very difficult!”
"If you want to make chips, you cannot do without a photolithography machine. It is a necessary machine for manufacturing chips. However, there are only a few manufacturers in the world that can make photolithography machines, such as the Netherlands, island countries, and the United States."
"ASML in the Netherlands is the largest company with the most advanced technology. The annual output of an EUV extreme ultraviolet machine is less than 30 units, and the price is more than 100 million US dollars (about 700 million Chinese dollars)! Such a machine, even if it costs money
You can’t buy it either, because this kind of machine is prohibited from being exported to China due to bans imposed by Western countries.”
"This time Deep Space Technology wants to buy high-end lithography machines from ASML. It is probably just wishful thinking. Even if ASML wants to sell, they will not be able to buy it under the ban. The low-end lithography machines that are allowed to be sold are at least 15% behind the current manufacturing process.
year! We can’t help but ask, can such a low-end lithography machine really solve the urgent needs of deep space technology?”
…
After seeing the news, the people at Qualcomm were overjoyed.
"Deep Space Technology is too naive. Do they really think ASML will sell them top-notch lithography machines?"
"Innocent!"
"The photolithography machines they can buy can only make the lowest-end chips, and they can't compete with us at all. It seems that they really can't think of a way, and they will definitely increase the price this time!"
Samsung Electronics is still in line with Qualcomm. Anyway, it is raising prices, whether you like it or not.
"Mars Mobile is going to be finished!" Ku Ke was in a good mood after seeing the report and immediately organized a meeting.
"We have released a preview of the new phone. At the end of this year, we will make a comeback and let Apple phones take over the Chinese market again! As for the Mars phone, they can no longer hold their own territory, and the release in the island country next year is even more of a joke!"
Chinese people are regretting that an independent high-quality domestic mobile phone brand has finally emerged, but now I am afraid it will not be able to sustain it for long.
…
"Mr. Meng, they have all been fooled." Pan Yu said with a smile in the office, "I heard that Apple has added production orders for new phones and is preparing to have a big sale at the end of the year."
"Not only Apple, but Samsung is also planning to re-establish its presence in the Chinese market. Even our domestic friends are preparing for year-end new phone launches," Gao Yuan said.
Over the past year, the sales of Mars smartphones have severely compressed the market space of other mobile phone brands. Now that Mars phones are encountering difficulties, they will naturally launch a counterattack.
Unfortunately, they did not expect that Deep Space Technology did not expect to buy a top-level extreme ultraviolet light machine from ASML. They only expressed their intention to purchase it. Sure enough, as soon as the smoke bomb came out, these competitors were all confused, thinking that Deep Space Technology
Technology has reached the point where nothing can be done.
"Our wafer fab has started production, and now we only have the last step. Lao Pan, prepare for the press conference announcement." Meng Xiaobai said.
"Okay!" Pan Yu couldn't bear it for a long time. He guarded this huge secret every day, and he was panicking even if he didn't say it for a day.
Meng Xiaobai, on the other hand, went to Nebula Technology Co., Ltd. to check the last link and cooperate with the artificial intelligence technology of the latest smart chip!
