"Xiao Dong, when I talked about robots that day, I suddenly remembered an American company.The name of this company also happens to mean robot, and I became interested in their mobile phone operating system software, and I will study it when I go back. ”Early the next morning, Xiao Bai invited Zhou Siyi out for morning tea.Zhou Siyi suddenly mentioned an American company called Android, and said that the other party mainly makes mobile phone operating systems, and the system name is the same as the company name.Just recently, the company showed off the mobile phone operating system called Android to the outside world, and formed a "handheld device development alliance" with a group of hardware manufacturers.This operating system is licensed under a free and open source license, and we hope that everyone will participate in the joint development of the software.Zhou Siyi was still worried about the smartphone operating system he developed, and he was almost ready to set up a team to conduct independent research and development.A joke between him and Cui Mingda that day inspired him to try this free licensed operating system."
Dean Zhou, I know this company, and I also know that this company has been acquired by Google, but the original team is still there.For this operating system, I think there is a promising future, but at this stage, the software has a lot of vulnerabilities, and it is embarrassing to use. ”There is a reason why Xiao Bai did not mention this operating system before, he hoped that Zhou Siyi and others would explore it on their own, and then compare it between the Symbian system and the Android system.And on this basis, the underlying research and development is carried out.Now that Zhou Siyi has mentioned this issue, he is also telling the truth."
Well, that's what I've thought about.But fortunately, this system is open source, and we can do a good job of secondary development. ”Zhou Siyi has a software development team under him, and he is still very confident in the underlying modification and secondary development."
Well, you can give it a try.However, Dean Zhou, there will be no problem with this operating system in recent years.But in the long run, you have to have something of your own!
You know, the free ones are the most expensive. ”Xiao Bai nodded at Zhou Siyi, hoping that he would not stop his independent research and development because he had a shortcut.Of course, he didn't ask the other party to use his own operating system now.This is mainly due to ecological issues, as well as domestic and international situations."
Don't worry, Xiao Dong.After we do a good job in secondary development, we will launch our own operating system project.The premise is that R&D funding must be guaranteed. ”Zhou Siyi laughed, Xiao Bai's thoughts coincided with him.It's just that the self-developed operating system will not see benefits in the short term, and it is unlikely that companies will help each other, and the problem of funds will have to be solved by Xiao Bai."
No problem, when I go back, I will allocate another 2 billion yuan to you."
Money is not the most important thing for Xiao Bai, as long as there is an era, not to mention 2 billion or 10 2 billion.The most important thing now is to plan for the future, and in many technical fields, you must not rely on Lao Mei's company, Lao Mei may be stuck in your neck at any time.After drinking morning tea, Zhou Siyi and Xiao Bai returned directly to Shencheng.Solving the problem of mobile phone operating system, the research and development of smart phones can take a big step forward, and Zhou Siyi has the enthusiasm to work again at this time.A few days later, Android released version 1.0 of the mobile phone operating system.The mobile phone-related enterprises under the Times Department have joined this open alliance, and the Times Science and Technology Research Institute has taken the lead and began to carry out secondary development for this version.Xiao Bai took the time to go to the project team a few times, and found an opportunity to talk to Zhou Siyi and others about the smartphone in his memory.At present, it may not reach the pinnacle of future smartphones in terms of technology, but some concepts are clearly ahead of their time.Then he no longer cared about this matter, and there were Zhou Siyi, An Ran, Qi Yuefeng and Duan Yongchun and others brainstorming, and he firmly believed that they could do a good job in this project.New Year's Day is approaching.Xiao Bai planned to go to the Demon Capital.It just so happened that Liu Xiaoling was not too busy during this time, so they took Chenchen with them, and at the same time called Tian Chunxiu to send someone to send Ziyu over and flew to the magic capital together."
Brother Xiao, your newly purchased business jet seems to be more comfortable to ride than the previous one."
Xiao Bai ordered a Gulfstream G550 business jet again, which happened to arrive a few days ago.Including Xiao Bai, it was the first time to travel on this plane.The previous Gulfstream G550 business jet continues to be handed over to the airline for operation and maintenance, and the members of the decision-making committee, as well as Liu Xiaoling and Tian Chunxiu, have the right to deploy it."
That's how you feel!
The new aircraft is $2.7 million more expensive than the previous one, and the interior and facilities have been upgraded to varying degrees. ”Xiao Bai and Liu Xiaoling talked all the way, and the two little ones were taken care of by someone, but they seemed very quiet.It didn't take long for the business jet to arrive at Pudong Airport.Coming out of the terminal, Xiao Bai saw Liang Yufen and Xiao Tianfang at a glance."
Dad, Mom, why are you here?
Didn't I say it when I called?
Let's have dinner together in the evening, why do you two have to work hard. ”Xiao Bai and Liu Xiaoling were a little embarrassed, and asked the second elder to pick up the plane in person, which seemed a little unreasonable."
Hehe, it's not hard!
Chenchen, Ziyu ......"
Liang Yufen and Xiao Tianfang said a perfunctory word to Xiao Bai, and then rushed over to Chenchen and Ziyu.Xiao Bai and Liu Xiaoling not only looked at each other, it seemed that people came to pick up the plane for a purpose."
Xiaoling, you and your parents go back to rest first.I'll go to Lao Wei's side first, and we'll have dinner together as a family in the evening. ”It was almost noon, and Xiao Bai and the others had already eaten on the plane.So after he was separated from his family at the airport, he took his own car and went to Times IC Manufacturing Co., Ltd.And Wang Xuming, who came to pick up the airport together, was responsible for sending Xiao Bai's parents, Liu Xiaoling and the two little ones to the Oriental Garden."
Xiao Dong, I'm sorry, I can't leave here, so I didn't pick you up.Please, let's go upstairs first, and we'll talk about the rest later. ”Wei Jianjun waited for Xiao Bai's arrival under the administrative building."
Let's not go up first, let's go straight to the factory.I want to see your technical verification line, where is the new process progressing?
”Xiao Bai smiled and waved his hand, and did not follow Wei Jianjun to the conference room, but went directly to the factory.Times IC Manufacturing Co., Ltd., ordered a 65n immersion lithography machine, after a delay of half a year, finally arrived.Wei Jianjun hurriedly installed the equipment in place and simultaneously launched the process research and development of the 65N node.Xiao Bai came to the Demon Capital this time, mainly for this matter."
Xiao Dong, our R&D work is going well.Previously, before the arrival of the equipment, we had advanced the 90n node process technology to the N+2 generation, which is actually close to the technical indicators that the 65n process can achieve. ”Wei Jianjun said that at present, the research and development of new process technology has not encountered special technical difficulties, and he is sure that this work will be completed within 4 to 6 months.However, then he said very depressedly: "Alas, because of the delay in the delivery of equipment, our mass production time at the 65N node may be slightly behind Taipower." ”Today, Intel has completed the trial production of the 65N process technology and plans to achieve mass production within half a year.The progress of Taipower is about 2 months faster than that of Times IC manufacturing, which makes Wei Jianjun angry and helpless.In the original era, the IC was at the 65n node, and it was entirely possible to lead Taipower.However, due to the delay in the delivery of lithography equipment, it is now a little behind."
Old Wei, this is not a crime of war, so don't think too much about it.My request to you is simple, that is, you must not be left too far behind by your opponents, and you must keep up with the first echelon. ”In terms of IC manufacturing, Xiao Bai does not require Wei Jianjun to win the first place.The most advanced process technology is important, but what is more important is the mature process and the technical nodes that are compatible with the industrial chain of the times.For example, at present, the 130n process technology is the most widely used, and the 90n process technology is just becoming more and more mature.Therefore, in the future, in addition to the magic capital, the highest process technology of the Beijing IC manufacturing factory is still 90n.Many of the products in the Shencheng IC manufacturing plant can't even use the 130n process technology.However, as a technological pioneer in IC manufacturing in the era, Modu must keep up with the latest technological developments.It can not be the most advanced, but it must not fall out of the first echelon."
I understand!
Until the key equipment and important raw materials are not localized, we may have to try our best to maintain the current state. ”Wei Jianjun didn't say much, but he always held his breath in his heart.Xiao Bai nodded, accompanied by the other party, inspected the entire factory, and then went to the conference room to listen to the work report of Wei Jianjun and others.At night.Xiao Bai had a meal with his family for a while, and during the banquet, Liang Yufen and Xiao Tianfang's attention was on the two children.It wasn't until after eating that he had time to chat with his parents about the situation of Hengmei Technology.In recent years, the development of Hengmei Technology has been very smooth, and a series of important breakthroughs have been made in technology.At present, the company has been able to produce high-quality wafers, with sizes covering all categories such as 300 and 200."
Dad, Mom, I really didn't expect your company to be so good.If I had known, I should have invested more money in the first place. ”Xiao Bai made a joke, and was actually happy for his parents and Song Dong."
Son, your father and I have heard about the lithography equipment.Alas, being technically subject to people is just that.Don't be in a hurry, some things have to be done slowly. ”Liang Yufen is not confused, she is also an industry person, and she still has a very clear understanding of the situation of domestic IC manufacturers.Taking advantage of this opportunity, she comforted Xiao Bai a few words.Xiao Bai couldn't laugh or cry a little, but he knew that this was his parents' concern for him, so he accepted the opinion sincerely.
