#409 - Chapter 409: Loongson 1, trial production successful! China has stood up!
On the road.
Chen Hao had already made the call, and the three were extremely excited.
The lithography machine research and development had concluded.
Factory construction was proceeding rapidly.
Because the higher-ups directly provided the factory building, it could be used immediately after rapid modification, mainly to establish a production line.
Production began two days ago.
Of course, the production speed of lithography machines is slow, and no machine has been produced yet.
But…
Even with a lithography machine, it's impossible to make chips.
The most crucial link is still missing.
If manufacturing chips is likened to building a high-rise, the lithography machine and related technologies are like the construction team and construction machinery, while wafers are similar to various building materials, but these alone are not enough.
Chip design is like construction blueprints!
Without this…
How can you build a skyscraper?
"Old Huang!"
Xie Wu's eyes lit up when he saw Old Huang: "Your side… is it really done?!"
"It's done."
Old Huang was as happy as a child.
"Principal?!" Xia Qingyan was even more confused.
What's going on?
Why is the principal here?
…
The lithography machine company is state-owned.
This was Xia Qingyan's first time here, and she didn't know that Xie Wu was working here part-time.
After a brief exchange of greetings.
The group went straight inside.
This is a company, not a factory, but the company was initially established for the research and development of lithography machines.
There is a research and development center.
There are prototypes!
Finally…
The moment they walked into the core laboratory and saw the appearance of that machine.
Xia Qingyan was dumbfounded: "This… what is this?!"
The dignified female president of Hanteng Capital had her face filled with endless shock.
The lithography machine in the research and development center…
It's definitely not an imported product!
It's domestically produced!
It's a lithography machine that belongs to Huaxia itself!
"Actually, it was developed successfully a long time ago."
Chen Hao smiled: "Including related technologies such as photoresist, packaging, and wafers…"
"President Chen! Let's stop chatting for now!" Du Yang was sweating anxiously.
Yes!
It had already been developed, and even the factory had been built and started producing new machines.
Only the last crucial link was missing.
Chip design!
When the chip design is also completed, it means that formal production can begin.
Everyone was very excited.
Next.
A group of people became busy, each performing their duties and entering the process, starting the first production.
Chip design is divided into two types.
Namely, computer chips and mobile phone chips.
The difference between the two is very large.
Mobile phone chips use the ARM architecture, first pursuing low power consumption, and then performance—or rather, balancing both.
Computer chips use the X86 architecture, completely ignoring power consumption issues, only to achieve maximum computing power.
In addition.
Mobile phone chips are single-tasking mode, with multiple cores responsible for different tasks.
Computer chips are multiple cores working together to complete one task.
In essence, computer chips exceed mobile phone chips in terms of both design difficulty and performance, and the core goal of Longxin in the previous life was to design computer-type chips—even for aerospace.
Now!
What is being tested for production is the computer chip—Longxin No. 1!
Time passed.
Chen Hao found a chair to sit on as soon as he came in.
Xia Qingyan stood all the time, because her emotions were too excited, and her mind was still blank.
Previously, she asked her brother-in-law, saying that the computer chips she had hoarded were about to run out.
Now!
At this moment!
Huaxia has its own lithography machine!
Chen Hao occasionally gave orders, guiding everyone on the precautions, and a group of scientists were busy.
Only Xia Qingyan.
Her legs were numb from standing for too long.
"Sister, what are you doing standing there? The first test and production will take a while," Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"I'm fine…"
She stomped her feet hard.
Even more numb!
From afternoon to evening, until it was completely dark.
The scene was not only the core layer.
There were dozens of scientists and engineers in total.
Until eight o'clock in the evening…
"It's done!"
Suddenly!
Old Huang said excitedly: "President Chen! The chip… our Longxin No. 1!"
Holding a chip in both hands.
As if holding the future of Huaxia.
Extremely excited, extremely heavy.
Heavier than Mount Tai!
Longxin!
"It's a success!"
Du Yang.
Gu Jinglun.
Xie Wu.
And dozens of scientists and engineers, more than half of them had red eyes and were teary-eyed.
A chip that belongs to Huaxia itself!
This time, even Chen Hao's eyes were sour.
As for Xia Qingyan…
She cried directly!
She didn't participate in the research and development, and she wasn't a scientist herself, but she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Because she is also a descendant of Huaxia!
The humiliation of a hundred years ago.
The backwardness of decades.
Every Huaxia person with backbone has a fire in their heart!
Now!
It's the moment for Huaxia people to straighten their spines!
"President Chen!"
Old Huang suddenly walked towards Chen Hao, and solemnly placed the first chip off the line in his hand.
Then he took two steps back.
Unexpectedly…
He bowed deeply to Chen Hao!
"Old Huang!" Chen Hao was shocked.
"It should be!"
Old Huang looked solemn: "This is to thank you on behalf of every chip person, on behalf of 1.2 billion Huaxia people!"
"Thank you, President Chen!"
"Without your technology, there would be no lithography machine and chip!"
"It is you who made Huaxia stand up!"
The next moment.
Everyone bowed to Chen Hao.
Are they all top scientists and engineers?
No!
If it weren't for Chen Hao providing a corresponding series of technologies, even if they were given another ten years, they might not be able to complete the research and development.
Lithography machine.
Photoresist.
Etching technology.
Packaging technology.
Wafer technology.
That's right!
There is also the extremely difficult chip design!
The entire industrial chain is extremely complex, containing countless technologies.
And Chen Hao is the chief engineer of all projects.
Seeing this scene in front of her, Xia Qingyan covered her mouth on the spot, her face filled with disbelief.
Not to mention the lithography machine company.
She can't even enter Building B.
She knew that Old Huang was doing research and development in Building B, but she didn't know what he was specifically researching.
Until today.
But…
Previously, she thought that Chen Hao was responsible for the research and development project, similar to an organizer: gathering relevant scientists and engineers together to research and develop the project—serving as the person in charge because of his identity.
Now she understands one thing.
The technology of the lithography machine and chip project all comes from Chen Hao!
She looked incredulously at this big boy who had just turned 19 this year.
At this moment.
She finally understood why he was standing at such a high level at such a young age.
"Everyone!"
Chen Hao quickly helped Old Huang up and said in a deep voice to everyone: "The smart phone has not been researched and developed, and the mobile phone chip is temporarily useless."
"North America has imposed a chip ban on our country!"
"Low-level chips are not a big problem, but computer CPUs are already in short supply in China."
"I demand that we put it into production as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Everyone said in unison.
Each face was filled with passion.
Not only because of the heavy reward Chen Hao gave after the relevant research and development was completed.
But also because of the sense of honor in their hearts as Huaxia people!
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he left the laboratory.
The signal here is blocked.
After walking out, he immediately contacted General Wang: "The chip design has been completed, and the first trial production has been successfully completed. We have our own chip!"
"What?!"
On the other end of the phone.
General Wang, who was in a meeting, left the meeting immediately: "What do you need me to do?!"
The commander must have something else to call.
"Announce to the outside world that the 70-nanometer immersion lithography machine has been successfully developed, and Huaxia will begin producing the first batch of computer chips."
"You mean… announce it to the public?!" General Wang was shocked.
