‘Holy Light’, Imperial City’s new headquarters building, president’s office.
The layout of the space of more than 100 square meters is slightly empty and monotonous. Except for a large desk by the window, there are only a few sofas and coffee tables elsewhere.
On his desk, Zhou Qingfeng was playing with a GTX1080 mining card. After all, he still couldn't get rid of the temptation of pursuing computing speed and got himself a super powerful personal computer.
Of course, this thing can only be used by himself, and letting it out will cause big trouble.
On the back of the 'mining' mining card, there will be a circle of burnt yellow on the chip resistor. This is because the chip heats up due to high-intensity work for a long time, and it is baked to this color, which will cause instability.
With a simple repair technique, the burnt yellow color gradually disappeared. The nine trillion floating point computing power per second was restored to like new. Zhou Qingfeng couldn't wait to install it on the computer case.
Turn on the computer, install the driver, and load the test software.
While waiting for the results, there was a knock on the office door, and Irene, wearing a short skirt that covered her hips, walked in and whispered: "Master, Mitsui has rejected our latest request. But they hope to continue talking next week."
"It's nonsense." Zhou Qingfeng pursed his lips angrily, "Little Japan wants to talk, but what they want to give is not what we want. They are clearly bullying us, seeing that 'Holy Light' is a fat sheep.
.
Yesterday, Watanabe called me and said that Tokyo newspapers had publicly stated that it was impossible for Holy Light to obtain advanced semiconductor technology, and that it would not be possible to spend 30 billion U.S. dollars because we have no talent.
What's even more annoying is that when these news spread to China, a group of brainless literati followed them, shouting about "terrible Japan", "unsurpassable opponent" and "backward system". Damn it, before the war even started, someone started.
Shout surrender."
Zhou Qingfeng cursed angrily.
The domestic semiconductor industry started following the world trend in the 1950s and 1960s, but the backwardness of basic science and industrial strength resulted in a large number of shortcomings after in-depth research, making it unable to keep up with the trend.
In 1977, the Modu Optical Machinery Factory developed a contact lithography machine, which reached the level of Yingjiang in the 1950s. In the 1980s, they started to "make it better than buying it". If you fall behind every step, you will fall behind every step. It will be difficult to pick up again.
.
‘Holy Light’ wants ordinary electronic components, and Mitsui is willing to provide them. But if it wants the semiconductor industry, Mitsui keeps in touch and has a good attitude, but it desperately promotes technology that is 20 or 30 years behind the times.
In the 1990s, all high-tech products exported from abroad to China were high-tech products. Domestic exports were all products for eating, drinking, sleeping, eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. They were exhausted and could not make much money.
The feeling of being stuck in the neck is really uncomfortable.
A few minutes after talking to Erin, the newly installed computer completed the test. A series of data appeared on the screen, showing a big red 'error'. She smiled and asked: "Master, what is this?"
"It is a beta version of 3D simulation software.
Motor Siqi's project was settled in Guizhou, and the two parties initially chose to cooperate in the production of AI-25TLK turbofan engines. The domestic model is Turbofan 11. This small turbofan is used on the Hongdu Factory K-8 trainer aircraft.
The country originally wanted to save money and engage in reverse imitation, but I told them not to do reverse imitation, and I would pay for forward import.
Motorsic has accumulated a huge test database over the past few decades, but most of their tests are conducted on physical prototypes, which is very clumsy in the computer age.
I asked Ma Qianshan to borrow Motor Siqi's data to convert the engines we cooperated with into digital models for simulation testing on computers. This can reduce time and cost in developing new engines in the future and find the best direction for improvement.
Simulating once can save at least a few weeks and hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. However, the performance of the computer I gave Ma Qianshan was very average, and the simulation timeliness was not very good. In addition, the simulation seemed to have gone wrong, and there was a shortage of software talents.
"
A model that can be built in a few seconds on a GTX1080 would take more than ten days to replace with the 486 in Ma Qianshan's hands. During this period, the hard drive will be spinning hard and the memory of more than ten megabytes will be exhausted.
Maybe the computer crashes halfway through the simulation.
"This is a three-dimensional finite element calculation with a large amount of data, and the poor 486 cannot handle it."
Zhou Qingfeng squeezed his head helplessly. He had a dragon-slaying knife in his hand, but he asked his men to use a kitchen knife to kill the monster - the monster could be killed with one knife, but he could only wait and worry about it.
Especially when killing monsters, I have to endure the cynicism of Xiao Nippon and the public.
"Give Ma Qianshan a few PS3s and ask them to send people to learn how to use them. For processing large amounts of data, you can send them to me. 486 and other things are too slow, it's really annoying."
486 was just a little sweet girl a few days ago, but now she is Mrs. Niu.
Irene walked up behind Zhou Qingfeng with a smile, reached out to help him relax the back of his neck, and said softly: "Master, do you want to hear some good news?"
Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes.
Erin's hand became stronger and she continued to smile: "Today, Sofia received several working groups from the ministry. The stimulus of 30 billion US dollars was strong enough, and it really made them more active.
The ministries and commissions have re-formulated the high-level semiconductor development roadmap and are preparing to pick up the entire electronics industry that has been left behind for ten years. They said it will take one month to formulate a preliminary plan and half a year to formulate a project.
As long as there are enough funds, it will be officially launched in March next year. By then, we can completely base ourselves on the country and develop step by step. Of course, with the support of foreign technology, the progress will definitely be faster."
Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes even more. It's useless to talk to China now, but foreign exchange must be useful.
Eileen continued: "In addition, Meow Meow and the goblins sneaked into the Imperial Hotel where the Mitsui negotiating team stayed and eavesdropped on their communications with Japan. Those guys did not appear to be so calm, in fact they were a little panicked.
There are many factions within Mitsui, and some people want to give up and sell us the next-generation process production line. Because they are also facing huge financial pressure for the next-generation process.
In addition, some people think that forcing us to develop ourselves is not the best decision, and it is also a reasonable business behavior to appropriately relax export restrictions in exchange for market share."
Zhou Qingfeng relaxed for a while, leaned his head back, and hummed in dissatisfaction, "It seems that we are losing money just talking to Mitsui. Is there anyone else who can join the competition?"
"It seems that it is gone. The semiconductor industry is basically controlled by the Americans, and Japan also accepts technology transfer from the Americans. At most, the Nanbang and the Southeast Rebellion are a source of technology. As for Europe..."
Ha..., after hearing the last two sentences, Zhou Qingfeng made a loud mocking sound. He did not make any comments at all, shook his head and said: "We have hit a hard nut, we still have to walk on two legs."
Irene said "hmm" twice and squeezed Zhou Qingfeng's shoulders for a while. Seeing that his master seemed to be relaxed, he decided to choose an opportunity to break the bad news.
“Master, don’t you want to buy the unfinished ‘Varyag’ from Nikolayev Shipyard in the Black Sea?”
"Yes, how is the progress of the negotiations with Da Mao Er Mao?"
"There is good news. Da Mao is willing to give up the ownership of the aircraft carrier to offset the debt owed to Er Mao. Er Mao is also looking to sell this aircraft carrier, and there are currently several inquiries. Er Mao's offer is US$100 million."
The price is a bit high.
Zhou Qingfeng frowned and said: "Whenever there is good news, there is also bad news."
"Yes. For some reason, when the news came out that we were trying to purchase the Varyag, Turkey suddenly stated that it would implement the ban imposed by NATO allies and prevent any ships of the Holy Light from passing through the Bosporus."
After Zhou Qingfeng heard this, his relaxed expression immediately stopped and he asked: "What year is this?"
"It's 1992."
"Does the native chicken want to die?"
Irene chuckled, knowing that her master was going out to cause trouble again.
