Four days before the trip to Germany, Sun Hu drove Liu Lang, Xiong Huaizhi, Chen Wei and another engineer Zhang Zhixian to the capital. This inspection of West Germany was personally led by Jiang Botao, and the scale was very high.
Naturally, there were many people accompanying him, thirty-five people in total. Except for six personnel from the Ministry of Industry, the others were heads and engineers of key national industrial industries.
Hao Shaoming, the director of the Capital Smelting Plant, and Wang Gang, the chief engineer, Hou Jianguo, the director of the Shanghai Steel Plant, and Zhang Xianyong, the chief engineer, and Zhang Xianyong, the director and chief engineer of Anyang Steel, and by the way, Zhou Ming, Xie Xide and Xie Xide of SMIC have just joined
Wang Haijun also went with him.
Wang Haijun returned to China four months ago, and Liu Lang took him with him to SMIC. Wang Haijun, Huang Kun, Zhou Ming, and Xie Xide already knew each other. The three of them knew that this young man was a talent, and that SMIC could do it in a very short time.
The other party deserves a lot of credit for producing the chip.
Yes, because Wang Haijun carefully maintained the wafer production line back then, this equipment worth 30 million US dollars was preserved intact. Besides, Wang Haijun studied in the island country for more than two years. Even Liu Lang praised his level.
Core Technology needs this kind of talent.
When Wang Haijun arrived at the company, he was entrusted with an important task and became the deputy chief engineer of the lithography machine project. The lithography machine project is now progressing well, but when Wang Haijun arrived, he discovered a problem. This kind of lithography machine was already somewhat problematic in his eyes.
It is outdated. The technology of island countries and South Korea is half a generation ahead of the domestic level.
The level of chips in island countries and South Korea has improved very quickly, especially South Korea, even faster than the island countries. This is due to the strong support of the Americans. The Americans have sold a lot of chips to the two countries since the early 1980s.
At that time, the two countries were at the same level. At that time, Americans had realized the potential of chips, but did not pay too much attention to them. However, with the rapid development of computers, especially the sudden rise of SMIC,
Let Americans truly realize the importance of chips
In recent years, the United States has used many means to suppress China's chips. On the one hand, it strictly controls the export of related products. On the other hand, it also exerts pressure on Wanan Company and has repeatedly investigated it through despicable means, but no results have been found.
SMIC relies on the wafer production line that the island country sold to China to produce chips. Wanan Company only provides a market for it. If someone has the ability to manufacture, you can't help but buy it. No matter how shameless the United States is,
You can't be so blatant.
As a result, the United States took out its grievances on the island countries. It felt that the people of the island countries had unintentionally promoted the rise of China's chip industry. In addition, they felt the threat of the island countries, the world's second largest economy, so the Americans deliberately moved the most advanced
The chip technology was given to South Korea, and South Korea's chip industry has improved a lot in just two or three years.
In Wang Haijun's view, China's chip technology is between second-rate and first-rate in the world. The country's chip foundation is not bad to begin with. Compared with the level ten years ago, the gap with the United States is not too big. In recent years, the world's computer industry
It has caught up with the rapid development, especially after the establishment of SMIC, the country has attached great importance to this
The investment is very large, spending more than one billion yuan every year. This is very good, but there is a shortage of talents! There is Silicon Valley next to Stanford University, where a large number of semiconductor talents have been trained. When the computer industry is developing rapidly, these talents are also
They gathered together in the shortest time, which no country can compare with.
Take the photolithography machine as an example. SMIC proposed the localization project of the photolithography machine two years ago. The design at that time could meet the current level. After two years, many difficulties in this project have been overcome.
, it may be put into production in another year, but after two years, this model of lithography machine is already somewhat outdated. Of course, being outdated does not mean that it cannot be used. The country has invested hundreds of millions of yuan in the lithography machine project.
, naturally we cannot give up.
Although Wang Haijun said he didn't like state-owned enterprises, once he joined SMIC, he immediately stepped into the role. He was the deputy chief engineer of this project, and the chief engineer was Zhou Ming. As soon as he took office, he proposed the lithography machine
1.0 upgraded version project, determined to upgrade again on the existing basis, Zhou Ming fully supports him, as Zhou Ming
, People like Xie Xide and Huang Kun have studied abroad and are well aware of the gap between China and developed countries. In addition, these people have also been aware of the development of the world's semiconductor industry in recent years and have a clear understanding of the rapid computer industry. Wanan Company
Computer production is growing at a rate of 40 to 50 percent every year. If you don't make progress, you will be regressing.
Zhou Ming and others are all over sixty. Although their bodies are still very strong, they cannot keep up with old age and their energy can no longer keep up. Wang Haijun is less than thirty this year, not to mention academically. If he does not want to return to China, he can stay
He continued to study for a doctorate at the University of Tokyo, and then he could naturally become a citizen of the island country. He even had this idea before, but it was only because of Liu Lang that he finally returned to China. Such talents will be valued when they get there, and he is very mature and can do things well.
Students who have just graduated in their early teens are much more stable.
Zhou Ming simply gave all the power to Wang Haijun and let him do it. He fully supported him. Of course, Liu Lang also supported him. Although Liu Lang didn't care about SMIC's affairs now, he had too much energy. As long as he
You can reach out to any direction you want.
Wang Haijun, one of the people who went to Germany to inspect this time, said that the computer industry in Germany is average, but the chips are not bad, especially the engineering chips used in CNC machine tools are not necessarily worse than those in the United States. This is also the target of SMIC's inspection.
Liu Lang went to the island country six months ago and discussed the future industrial situation of the world with Wang Haijun. Wang Haijun was optimistic about the semiconductor industry, especially the development of computers in the world. Some of this idea came from the book "Digital Survival", but he also read this book
It wasn't much, Liu Lang gave it to him after returning to China
A Chinese version of "Digital Survival" has been released in China, but not many people can understand it. Ordinary people reading this book are like reading from heaven, so this book is circulated in colleges and universities.
, the State Education Commission even regards this book as a textbook for computer and semiconductor majors.
After reading this book, Wang Haijun suddenly realized that the chip industry plays such a big role, and the computer industry is just one aspect of it. The chips in mechanical engineering are even more magical and can create countless incredible machines. In addition to engineering chips, there are also
Artificial intelligence in the future world, the Chinese version of "Digital Survival" has a lot more content than the English version, which is a detailed explanation of artificial intelligence.
This explanation is based on Liu Lang's further deepening of the future era based on the era thirty years later, including autonomous driving technology, big data analysis technology and other content that people in this era consider to be science fiction. Even Wang Haijun also understands some of it.
No, but although he didn't understand it, he still believed that this era would eventually come, but the time period Liu Lang gave was thirty years later, which seemed a bit short.
