Rebirth: Fight For Life

   Chapter 295 Visiting the Flint Research Institute

   When Liao Qingshan saw the Lord, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

   "Mr. Liao has been waiting for a long time."

   "When I see a real person, I can feel the youth of President Gu, which is really unimaginable." Liao Qingshan smiled and took this sentence to greet him.

  Gu Song said helplessly: "Every time I meet a new friend, I always mention this in the first few sentences."

   "We can't blame us, it's too rare."

   Jian Yushu accompanied Liao Qingshan with a laugh and asked, "How did you see it in the morning? You said that you want to come and inspect, not just about the strength of our company, right?"

  Liao Qingshan nodded: "Of course, what I really want to hear is that Mr. Gu talks about the future development strategy and the plan for the chip."

"This topic is a bit big. If I say it too far, you think I'm bragging. If you say it's close, it's not about strategy." Gu Song smiled, "The plan for the near future is quite simple. Do it well."

   "Video chip?" Liao Qingshan has a new message, "In addition to audio, is there video?"

Gu Song nodded: "Yes, for audio and video, we have also specially developed a new codec algorithm, and now we are promoting it to become a new standard of the ITU. Mr. Liao, you have to help us too, after all family."

  Liao Qingshan listened to him and said with a smile: "I'll go back and make a suggestion, if it's useful, I can't be the master of technology."

  Gu Songben just mentioned it casually, and then asked: "Wasn't WSMC thinking of coming here to build a factory?"

  Liao Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and said with a bit of melancholy: "I have mentioned such an idea, but President Gu understands that it is very stressful."

  Gu Song smiled: "Would you like to take Mr. Liao to visit the laboratory?"

  Liao Qingshan wanted to visit for a long time, but Gu Song did not come, and no one could be the master. Hearing Gu Song taking the initiative to mention it, of course he nodded hurriedly.

   The three of them walked to the back side by side.

   There is a small passage leading to the Flint Research Institute from the front.

  Liao Qingshan saw two security guards sitting there, one in charge of the security gate and the other staring at a set of video surveillance screens. After the ID card is swiped, there is obviously a fingerprint recognition system.

   "Mr. Gu is also very attentive in safety work here." Liao Qingshan said with a smile.

  Gu Song smiled confidently: "Liao always understands technology, and he should know that world-class results are continuously being produced here. Although the Flint Research Institute is still inconspicuous, we still need to be careful."

   Three people entered the research institute, and Liao Qingshan saw a world completely different from the previous one.

   In addition to the open experimental area, there are also many separate small rooms. What is particularly eye-catching is that there is a large experimental area with a significantly higher specification in the front right.

  Liao Qingshan swept his eyes, and sure enough, there was a nameplate of "Semiconductor and Process Laboratory" hanging on it.

   Going inside, you have to go through a special cleaning procedure.

Gu Song led him as he walked and introduced: "The team is not small, and the total number of scientific research teams exceeds 200. Now, I have invested 200 million R&D funds in the Flint Research Institute. Mr. Liao asked about the future plans. In fact, as long as you look at the R&D investment on my side, you will know that I have a great demand for chip processing. Flint Technology follows the profit model of patent licensing, and is responsible for the various patents of the Flint Research Institute. The technology is popularized. So in the future, of course, not only the rover company will use the chip technology of Flint Technology.”

  Liao Qingshan asked dumbly: "200 million?"

   Isn't Flint Technology less than a year old?

  Gu Song shrugged: "You understand technology, just glance at the equipment and you'll know."

   In fact, in the eyes of Liao Qingshan, the 200 million R&D expenditure is not the reason for his shock. Internationally, the investment in chip R&D is originally in units of 100 million, and 200 million is a pass.

   But the key is time and subject.

   In less than a year now, 200 million has been invested, and the things that came out before were only things like U-disk control chips and DACs. As for such a big battle and so much money?

   There is no doubt a bigger plan hidden here.

  Liao Qingshan glanced at the equipment configuration in the laboratory and knew at least two intentions of Flint Technology.

   Exercise the team and enter a virtuous circle of output and profit.

  Reminiscent of the situation of the rover that he learned when he checked the data before, Liao Qingshan looked at Gu Song and was speechless for a while: The pace of entering the core technology field is really fast enough.

   Did money give him courage?

   But with the rover's revenue, how can it afford such R&D investment?

   Loans for R&D? Is there still official support?

   Liao Qingshan felt uneasy for a while.

  In the laboratory, when the old man saw Gu Song, he called the boss to say hello, and the newcomers who had never seen Gu Song followed him and greeted him.

  Gu Song smiled and nodded to them.

   The three kept going inside, and soon came to Liu Hanhao's group.

  Liao Qingshan's eyes were very poisonous, and his pupils shrank when he saw the circuit diagram on the computer.

   That's not like a video codec chip. Liao Qingshan couldn't help but leaned forward a little, and saw the three letters of ISP on the side of the name.

   He turned his head and asked Gu Song: "Image signal processor?"

  Gu Song was stunned for a moment and gave him a thumbs up: "It's just the beginning, the rover still wants to make a digital camera."

  Liao Qingshan is speechless. Looking at this circuit diagram, does it look like it just started? Are you verifying?

   Also, why do you only develop core chips for whatever you want?

   Liu Hanhao saw him coming, glanced at Liao Qingshan and asked, "Come with the guests today?"

  Gu Song nodded: "Mr. Liao from SMC."

   Liu Hanhao was shocked, it turned out to be tape-out and processing for them. He nodded and said hello, Gu Song introduced: "Professor Liu Hanhao from the Integrated Circuit Design and Systems Laboratory, he is in charge of the chip design. The previous two chips were developed by the team led by Professor Liu."

  Liao Qingshan was in awe and hurriedly shook hands with him.

  Although it is not a big chip, it is worthy of respect for such a high degree of achievement in a small field in such a short period of time.

   Liu Hanhao was a little embarrassed: "I just did some improvement work, shoulders of giants, giants."

  Gu Song accepted Liu Hanhao's thanks with a smile, he was indeed huge.

  Liao Qingshan and Liu Hanhao chatted there. After nearly a year of feeding enough forage, Liu Hanhao made rapid progress in both theory and time. Liao Qingshan was even more impressed by the chatter.

   But they couldn't keep talking like this. Hearing that Liu Hanhao was already bragging, Gu Song said with a smile, "Just see here in the lab, let's go out and continue chatting."

   Turned his head and walked a few steps towards the door when Ni Guangbei came over and held him.

   "Just in time for you to come here, come and see."

   Gu Song saw that he was really eager, and said to Liao Qingshan: "Let Yushu accompany you first, I'll go over in a while."

After   , he followed Ni Guangbei into the semiconductor laboratory.

  Liao Qingshan looked at his back, curious. He knew that Academician Ni was probably pulling Gu Song to talk about the 3D storage unit.

  Unfortunately, Jian Yushu pulled him straight out the door.
