If you're willing to expand the data slightly using the existing model, I can help you launch it within a year. As for R&D, well, we're too busy! We have our own tasks to complete.
Xing Baohua finally understood: this person wanted to make money but didn't want to put in the effort. In fact, many people who have been in the system for a long time have this mentality.
He has little to do with me, yet he's making me do all the work? What kind of good deal is that? It's all for nothing, no matter who introduced him.
Don't be fooled by Xing Baohua's promise of money; it won't end up in their pockets anyway, and it'll only increase their workload. Who would do that?
What are the benefits? People with a technical background are either interested in academics or have real financial resources.
So Xing Baohua posed a small question: "Chief Engineer Gao, have you ever heard of superconducting computers?"
“I know, I’ve also done some research on superconducting materials, and I plan to use them in the aerospace field,” the senior engineer said.
After saying that, Chief Engineer Gao chuckled lightly. The chuckle did have a hint of sarcasm. He himself was a researcher and had studied superconducting materials, but he knew how deep the water was in this field. With our limited technology, we were still just writing the words "superconductivity" on paper and then nothing more.
Xing Baohua was about to say a few words when he was interrupted by the senior engineer, who asked, "Speaking of your Dami Technology, although you can independently produce chips, I feel that you will have some results in the field of superconductivity within twenty years. Don't deny it, I also saw the results from your Loongson 1 and Loongson 2."
"Have you ever studied the chips produced by our company?" Xing Baohua asked curiously.
“Yes, some researchers from AVIC said we could try domestically produced chips, so they got a few and tested their parameters. Your Loongson chip is no different from a microcontroller!” The senior engineer said this with a disdainful tone and look in his eyes.
He had a very disdainful look on his face.
Loongson only has two chips, which is practically a counterfeit. The Air Force likes to use them, so let them use them. But AVIC can't do that. The data is too large, and there's a fear that the Loongson chip might start smoking while processing the data.
Xing Baohua nodded. He admitted that the Loongson 1 was a sham from the beginning, but the Loongson 2 was different. It was a non-civilian chip, designed specifically for data processing.
"You're looking at the data for Loongson 2, but you're only looking at one chip, right? That's understandable. Looking at a single chip is just so-so, but when it comes to multiple chips in combination, it's not as simple as 1+1. I gave them a chip with a four-way hot-swappable mode."
You can understand it this way: when it's not processing data, it operates like a single chip. But when it encounters a large amount of data, it operates in dual-path mode, with two backup paths. If one path fails, the other two can continue to function normally while maintaining continuous data flow.
"Your idea is good. Actually, you've put four chips with a single complex instruction set. I don't know what to say to you, but in terms of applications, do you think there are a few places where it can be used? Let's say satellites! Four chips would consume a lot of power, right? How many hours can a satellite's power system last?"
Xing Baohua was somewhat speechless at this question. The satellite's power comes from solar panels, and how many hours it can last depends on the output and conversion rate of the solar panels.
The problem is that a satellite not only powers the CPU, but also other devices. High-power transceiver equipment and other devices also consume a lot of power.
Therefore, AVIC will not consider using equipment that consumes too much power.
Xing Baohua thought for a moment and said, "I will conduct superconducting chip fabrication testing in March or April next year!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the senior engineer suddenly stood up, even knocking over his chair. Luckily, they were talking in a private room; otherwise, such a commotion would have attracted attention.
"You...you..." The senior engineer stammered, pointing at Xing Baohua, unable to speak for a moment. Perhaps what Xing Baohua had just said had exceeded his expectations.
Then, the senior engineer sat down and asked, "A counterfeit product, trying to create a gimmick to attract attention? That's what you call launching a satellite!"
"Actually, I won't disclose the superconducting chip to the public. DaMi will still focus on conventional chips. We will only produce enough superconducting chips to meet our needs. After the tape-out, no matter how many qualified chips we can produce, it will only be this once," Xing Baohua said.
"Why? After the chip fabrication and testing, you'll know the yield rate. If there's a breakthrough, your design team's key members could even win a Nobel Prize," the senior engineer said excitedly.
"My team and I have basically died once. In Shanghai, my system director and his wife were almost killed in an explosion. Oh, and his wife was heavily pregnant. If we hadn't reacted quickly, the whole family would have been wiped out. I was visiting him in the hospital when I was sniped in the back at the hospital entrance. Luckily, I was wearing a bulletproof vest. Even so, there was still some lingering trauma, so I went to Dr. Chen, the number one acupuncturist in Beijing, for acupuncture treatment to clear my meridians."
"Gao Gong, overseas powers are seeing my company's rapid development and want to implement a blockade plan. Do you think if I publicly announce the tape-out of my superconducting chip, will I be killed even faster? Will my company's wafer fabs in Shanghai also cease to exist?"
The senior engineer looked at Xing Baohua in shock. He really didn't know about this, and the newspapers hadn't reported on it either! He hadn't heard anyone mention it either.
How did it become so thrilling from Xing Baohua's perspective?
Then he said, "They wouldn't be so reckless. Flattening your wafer fab would be tantamount to starting a war. Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare."
Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua laughed and said, "Even if you have ten times the courage, you'd still dare to do it with half a courage."
They have ships that can come over, but what do we have? Relying on the Dong-series large-scale firecrackers? That's just for show; we wouldn't dare to actually fire them when the time comes.
I remember the head of the Strategic Deception Bureau crying during an interview, saying, "How much humiliation have we suffered!"
