Military Technology

"How many nanometers can this technology reach?" Xiao Ma asked him.

Hearing this, Wu Hao stretched out his hand and gestured: "At least five nanometers will start, and three nanometers can be expected. As for higher ones, this is not just a matter of the extreme ultraviolet light source, but needs to be considered in terms of the performance of other components as a whole."

Hearing what he said, everyone present could not help but communicate.

Although the latest chips have adopted three nanometers, this is a relatively cutting-edge chip technology. Ordinary chips or most new products still stay at five nanometers and seven nanometers. And our country's current independent technology has only reached fourteen nanometers.

Therefore, this technology is still very advanced in China, and it has high feasibility. Even if it is placed in the world alone, it is a very advanced existence. It turns the complex mirror group used to generate the extreme ultraviolet light source in the lithography machine into a compound convex mirror group.

Of course, this kind of compound convex mirror lens group is also very complicated, especially the processing technology, but it can solve a technical problem that we cannot solve at present.

As the saying goes, stones from other mountains can attack jade.

For everyone present, this project was indeed very attractive. Is there anything in this world that is more profitable than chips made of sand?

Of course, there seems to have been in history, that is, sand was used to make glass. In the long history of our country, Liuli, which is a kind of unpurified glass, has always been a jewelry.

Everyone knows about the huge profits in the chip industry, but about the lithography machines that make chips, everyone can't help but mutter in their hearts.

Let’s not talk about whether high-tech-intensive equipment such as lithography machines can be manufactured by relying on the current domestic technical level. Even if it is manufactured, whether there are customers and how many customers are there.

In addition, how many lithography machines these customers can buy is calculated on the basis of one 100 million yuan. A dozen or so lithography machines are enough, and that is only more than one billion yuan, which is far less fast than the Internet.

So thinking of this, many people suddenly lost interest.

Of course, there are also some people who are very interested in this project, such as Lao Ma, Xiao Ma, Tao Zhengyang, even Li Feihong who is powerless, and Xue Bing who is very hesitant.

What they see is not only the technology, but also the lithography machine itself and the value derived from the lithography machine.

It's not just economic value,

There are also social value and XX value, which cannot be measured by money. Among other things, if we have this advanced lithography machine, we can break the monopoly of the West, so as to get rid of our dependence on overseas and avoid being stuck.

When it comes to stuck necks, no one feels more deeply than H. It is also because of a series of sanctions and restrictions from the West that the originally fast-growing mobile communication business and Internet business of H Wei were severely hindered.

Therefore, not only Tao Zhengyang, but also the top management of H are very concerned about this technology.

The second is Lao Ma and Xiao Ma. As deep Internet players, especially international giants in the field of cloud computing, they are well aware of the importance of chips.

What is cloud computing refers to decomposing a huge data calculation processing program into countless small programs through the network "cloud", and then processing and analyzing these small programs through a system composed of multiple servers to obtain results and return them to users.

To put it bluntly, the basis of cloud computing is the servers used to calculate data distributed everywhere. Simply put, it is simple distributed computing, solving task distribution, and merging calculation results.

The strength of cloud computing computing power comes from the number of computing servers on the one hand, and the quality of the servers on the other hand, that is, computing power.

The better the quality of the server and the stronger the computing power, the smaller the scale of the server needed and the lower the cost. Similarly, on the same number of servers, the better the performance of the server, the stronger the computing power will naturally be.

The core technology that affects the quality of the server and the strength of its computing power is the chip on the server.

In this field, at present, most of the server chips in our country are purchased from abroad. Although we have also designed and manufactured several chips, we lack advanced manufacturing technology and processes, so the performance of our chips has always lagged behind the advanced Western level.

In recent years, more and more countries have begun to enter the field of chip research and development, but they only stay in the field of research and development, and manufacturing still relies heavily on foundry.

But with the tightening of restrictions in some countries, it also makes us very hindered in this regard.

So how to get rid of being stuck, not only the country, but also these Internet giants need to consider difficult issues.

The so-called asking for others is worse than asking for oneself. Instead of begging others in a humble manner, it may not be successful. It is better to be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing.

It is also the consensus of the whole society and the whole industry to develop our domestic chips.

It's just that we are making very slow progress in this area due to the technical blockade overseas.

It can even be said that the West has taken great pains to prevent us from obtaining these advanced technologies. Even the lithography machines sold to us that have fallen behind are equipped with sensors and GPS positioning systems.

Random disassembly and random movement will cause the device to lock directly, and may even trigger the self-destruct program.

So if things go on like this, under such a severe situation, two factions will naturally emerge. Of course, one faction is the self-reliance faction that insists on self-development, while the other faction is the resurgent capitulation faction. They took out the old saying, the bullshit argument that making something is worse than buying it, and completely turned to the other side.

And under this kind of internal and external double pressure, it also makes our self-reliance more difficult, even precarious.

Although everyone knows the importance of self-reliance, as an enterprise, we must still consider practical factors. If there is no compromise, the business will not be able to continue. As a last resort, many companies have collapsed, and more companies have chosen to compromise.

But at this time, Wu Hao suddenly stood up and brought out a key technology, how could this not make these people happy.

In fact, no matter whether it is the old horse, the pony, or Tao Zhengyang, they all knew about this technology or this plan in advance.

And Wu Hao said it in front of so many people today, and there is also the sum of all of them. This project is more than just money. If it was just money, how could we be stuck by others for so long.

To start this project and ultimately succeed, it requires the concerted efforts of the entire industry. So this is why, the reason why Wu Hao brought up this project is to let more people join in and expand his strength.
