(There is a slight flaw in the previous chapter. What SMIC is doing is not a project for the lithography machine itself. It should be a project to cooperate with microelectronics to make chips. The writing is indeed a bit confusing, mainly because of the writing. I actually know this myself. .)
In fact, Chen Guo’s plan is not to let a chip processing manufacturer like SMIC purchase various equipment and parts, develop and produce photolithography machines on its own, but to let it be a leader and use the 20nm chip project to To stimulate the development of the entire chip and lithography machine industry.
This is a typical "flagship project" idea. In the past, many results have been achieved using this idea in China.
It's just that compared with previous projects, this time's project is more difficult and the threshold is higher.
Therefore, after solving the problem of Zhang Rujin at SMIC, Chen Guo continued to visit many companies including Shanghai Microelectronics.
Compared with SMIC, communication between these companies is much simpler.
After all, they are all state-owned enterprises with administrative affiliation.
Communicating with them is more like giving a task than making a deal.
It took Chen Guo a week to finally arrange everything properly. At the same time that the chip project began to start smoothly, on the other side, the large-scale results of the Yishan project finally began to appear one after another.
At the end of May, the first ultra-large gantry crane of ZPMC rolled off the production line. Although it is still far away from the 22,000-ton Honghai, this 16,000-ton gantry crane also set a new record for the entire world's large-scale gantry crane once it was born. History of crane lifting weights.
This gantry crane was prioritized for deployment at the Dalian Shipyard, replacing the originally used 9,000-ton gantry crane.
This replacement will undoubtedly speed up the process of the Deep Blue 16 project to a great extent. The originally difficult hoisting work of decks, gas turbines and other large equipment has become extremely easy. According to the evaluation of the shipyard's professional technical consultants, this gantry crane alone , can shorten the overall project process of Deep Blue 16 by more than 3 months.
At the same time, ZPMC is still further sprinting towards the final goal of the project. Construction of Honghai has officially started. The design standard has been increased by 20% compared with the predetermined standard, reaching the 26,000-ton standard.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance the purpose of such a giant gantry crane.
You can't use such a big crane to load and unload cargo at the port - that would be overkill.
And various types of warships cannot use cranes with such heavy weight.
Therefore, its goal has been clear from the beginning.
Pointed clearly towards the next very large ship.
Whether it is aircraft carrier No. 002 or a 400,000-ton cargo ship.
One is military and the other is civilian.
Although it seems that the former is of much greater significance than the latter, in fact, as the conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia intensifies, oil supply is expected to be tight, and we have obtained priority supply rights from Saudi Arabia, a giant ship The strategic value that freighters can provide is, to a certain extent, no less than that of aircraft carriers.
Of course, it is too early to talk about such a grand strategy.
Relatively more practical is the birth of the large-scale shield machine "Qiangguo".
Thanks to the previous technology accumulation on large dredgers, the progress of this shield machine in both the integrated power system and the reamer unit has far exceeded the expectations of Chen Nian, the Spark Team and the Civil Development Office.
When it finally rolled off the production line, the Qiangguo super-large shield machine not only met the technical standards, but also output a series of technical optimization and technology extension results.
Under its influence, the development path of small and medium-sized shield machines has been smooth.
With the emergence of Qiangguo and other types of shield machines, the construction speed of the first standardized and practical high-speed rail line has accelerated sharply.
In March 2006, the construction of the Jingshi and Shiwu sections of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway officially started. Just two months later, the tunnel projects involved in the entire line were basically completed. Compared with previous similar projects, the tunnel construction efficiency increased by more than five times.
This speed amazed the whole world, and some media even published several reports questioning the fraud of the project results.
But when the video of Qiangguohao's work was released, the faces of these media were all swollen.
There is no doubt that this is a major milestone in the history of the development of human engineering machinery. The technology it condenses, as well as the wisdom and heritage embodied in the system engineering design, make it impossible for those who want to question it to start.
After all, with the capabilities of those media, the most they can do is question the system, system, culture, and other things that have no standard answers.
It can use its rich sophistry experience to turn white into black.
But what can it do in the industrial field?
Everyone can see that the TBM is the standard answer.
Qiangguohao is the standard answer.
Moreover, it is a standard answer that most countries cannot copy.
Of course, the emergence of TBMs has not only accelerated giant projects such as high-speed rail. The reduction in engineering difficulty and costs it has brought has also allowed many small cities with complex terrain to see opportunities.
A large number of county-level and township-level highways have been built, and the economy of secondary cities has entered a period of explosive growth - of course, this was achieved on the premise of overdrafting finances.
However, it seems that no one at the lower levels of the administration is worried about such overdrafts.
Yes, such a major issue can only be left to the upper management for consideration.
Reviews, surveys, and planning are non-stop, and the atmosphere and pace are extremely tight. Because of the pressure of the financial crisis, superiors cannot suppress the economic vitality of subordinates, but they must find ways to ensure financial health.
This is a complex issue, but fortunately, the results of various early projects have finally begun to see benefits after surviving a three-year vacuum period.
Gas turbines, radar electronic equipment, military weapons, ships, excavators and even a small number of aviation engines have all begun to be exported, which has brought good profits and barely supported economic development at an unstable balance point. .
However, if such development is to reap benefits, it must go through a long vacuum period.
——
But unlike the previous life, here, history has taken a turn.
Although real estate has also begun to show a good trend, it has not skyrocketed like in the previous life.
The reason is very simple, just a few words:
"We are not allowed to follow the old path of America."
This time around, because we actually participated in the "ignition" of the subprime mortgage crisis, the shock to higher-level decision-makers was far greater than in the previous one.
Coupled with the fact that Chen Nian is now a technology plug-in, this road of fishing for the best has been naturally abandoned.
Instead, there has naturally been rapid advancement in the field of science and technology.
And this also brought greater pressure to Chen Nian.
Western Polytechnic University.
Chen Nian sat at the table, staring at the 3.6 source points displayed on the system in a daze.
During this period of time, during this period, he has actually been working very hard to increase the generation speed of source points, but for some reason, the average daily source point production seems to have reached a bottleneck, stuck at 0.3 points. The threshold was motionless.
Occasionally, due to some accidental technological fission, a single source point generation will reach 0.5 or even 1 point, but more often than not, except for the stable source point income that learning can bring, the additional source point income is blank.
After the Yishan project was launched, the increase in source points brought about by technological fission exploded for a while, but soon returned to dullness.
In a word, the source output of the system has not been able to achieve "step-up" upgrades in line with the development of technology.
This made Chen Nian feel a little anxious.
Because, according to the current progress, he estimates that within the next two to three years, the entire "contemporary technology" system will be traversed, and then it will enter the field of near-future technology.
But compared with "contemporary technology", the number of source points required by "near future technology" has made great strides forward.
For example, a basic artificial intelligence like Tamai 01 that relies on machine learning and neural networks may only cost a few source points to parse.
But if you want to build an advanced artificial intelligence that can be widely used and even pass the Turing test, the required source points directly exceed 10 digits and reach the level of thousands or tens of thousands.
For another example, the source point consumption of an H-20 is only 10 points, but the source point consumption of the Luanniao Space Carrier and Nantianmen Space Platform is at the 100,000 level.
Similarly, the relatively advanced Amprius lithium battery consumes 20 source points, but the next generation silicon lithium battery consumes 900 points.
In this case, once you have completed all the layout points of "contemporary technology", you may face the dilemma of "there is no way to break the ceiling" for a long time in the future.
As for how long this dilemma will last?
Nobody knows.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian sighed deeply.
What should I do
For this problem, he actually thought of many different solutions and plans.
For example, you can directly prepare a wave of ultimate moves and click on the BCI computer first, so that you can block system bugs and rely on a large amount of information transmission to refresh the source point.
However, he quickly realized that in fact, the process of transmitting knowledge after analysis by the system is exactly the same as the process of transmitting knowledge by the BCI system?
Since the system's transfer of knowledge will not be rewarded as "learning", then BCI certainly can't do it either.
The system's criteria for determining the behavior of "learning" should be based on the continuous activity of the brain and the active activity of the memory area and thinking area.
Neither the system nor the BCI can meet such requirements.
Therefore, in fact, on the path of "learning to obtain source points", I am very restricted.
The only thing that can make a fuss is the "source point of incremental knowledge generation".
However, the frequency of technological fission and new knowledge is limited, and the speed cannot be accelerated.
Why?
Chen Nian suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind.
That's right.
Judging from the current situation, the frequency of new knowledge is indeed limited.
But the problem is that this limitation is because the basis for knowledge transfer is limited.
Those who come into contact with these cutting-edge technologies are generally experts and practitioners in related industries. Their number is already small, and not everyone has inspiration. It is normal for the fission speed to be relatively slow.
but if.
What if I make these technologies widely publicized in a popular science style?
There is no need to reveal the core points, just explain the principles and basic logic. Someone will always be inspired by it, see deeper and further things, and create more results!
Even if there is only one person in ten thousand, even if the source point income that this person can bring is only 0.01.
If it can be scaled up to a base of 100 million people, wouldn't it generate 100 points of source income? ?
etc.
Why does this revenue route feel so familiar?
Chen Nian frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized.
Isn’t this the basic logic of compulsory education and universal education? !
Obviously, his previous technology diffusion logic followed the logic of elite education, and only those with certain abilities and verified personnel could access it.
This kind of diffusion logic may have relatively high immediate benefits, but if you consider the overall benefits, it is not at all an order of magnitude compared to "universal education"!
Chen Nian immediately became excited. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made some mistakes.
This system was not born for itself.
It is not to use the power of the system to become a superior "god" in this world, but to use itself as a medium to pull everyone forward together!
Enlightenment.
It turns out that the route I took before was always wrong.
——
No, it can’t be said that I went wrong. It should be said that I went slowly.
Two hours later, in Chen Guo's office.
"What? You want to reform education?"
Chen Guo looked at the young man in front of her in surprise, as if she had not expected that he came to see her for such a thing.
"To be precise, it has not reached the level of so-called education reform."
"My idea is that our general science education needs to take a step forward and cannot just be limited to the traditional theoretical teaching."
"We should let our youth know more about new technologies - and understand them systematically."
"For example, why stealth fighters can become invisible, what is the principle of aero-engines, and how does radar work? These knowledge should be divided into deep and shallow levels."
"The shallow ones are disseminated on a large scale, while the deep ones are to give interested people a way to inquire through channels such as the National Library and the National Archives."
"In this way, the higher education level of our entire society - no, it cannot be said to be higher education level, it should be said to be 'special education level', there will definitely be a significant improvement."
"Another point is that if this work can continue, the range of choices for a wide range of educated people will also be broadened."
"For example, some people may be interested in welding, so after we announce the latest non-confidential technology in the field of welding, we may be able to guide them to learn and research in this field in advance."
After hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo's expression gradually became serious.
"So, what you want to do is actually a broad general education system?"
"It's going to be difficult. We lack the medium."
"No, we won't be short."
"internet!"
Chen Nian said firmly.
"How big do you predict the Internet will be?"
Chen Guo asked doubtfully.
"It's very simple. It will develop to the point where a normal person in society cannot stay away from the Internet for more than a day."
"This kind of coverage is enough for this project."
"Get ready. The sooner we make arrangements for this matter, the better."
"Otherwise, after fast-food entertainment seizes the inertial space of users, it will not be so easy for us to squeeze in."
Chen Guo nodded and replied:
"Okay, I'll arrange this."
"This should be said to be a very far-sighted layout. I believe that the superiors will not refuse such investment."
