Xu Zhengyang glanced at Qin Tao curiously, and Qin Tao immediately understood the meaning in his eyes.
I don’t believe it!
Qin Tao smiled: "Zhengyang, do you think I'm joking?"
Xu Zhengyang quickly shook his head: "I don't dare."
This guy didn't say no, but he said he didn't dare. The meaning behind his words couldn't be more obvious, but he still didn't believe it.
"In our country, the main population and resources are concentrated in the east. The west is still very desolate. If we want to develop, we must pay attention to the development of the west." Qin Tao introduced his thoughts: "In the future, the country We will inevitably develop the western region. In addition to roads, we will also have railways in the future. I have already said that we need to build railways until they are connected to the Laoba railway line. In this way, we can avoid Driving to Malacca and going directly to land is of great significance to us."
Vale's iron ore is mainly transported through land railway lines. Only Kangaroo Country is vast and sparsely populated, and relies on large road trains with several carriages for transportation.
If the country wants to develop resources in the western region, it must rely on railway transportation.
If you want to be rich, build roads first!
"Mr. Qin is right. Our western region will definitely develop in the future. We may actually be able to mine our own domestic iron ore and avoid being controlled by others in this regard." Xu Lequan said, "Mr. Qin, I want to take my leave. Thank you very much for talking to me in the car. This is a major event related to the development of our domestic steel industry, and I will definitely pay attention to it."
After sending Xu Lequan away, Qin Tao walked home with a relaxed pace.
Some time ago, Zhao Ling had been in Mingzhou, responsible for transplanting the Hongqi-16A missile to the No. 138 destroyer. Later, she helped with the integration of the fire control system, but now, the No. 138 destroyer has completed all modifications. After working, joining the army, and entering service status, Zhao Ling returned to Huating.
After Qin Tao returned home, he unexpectedly saw Zhao Ling at home.
"Hey, why are you back so early? Don't you usually work late?" Qin Tao was very surprised that Zhao Ling was here.
Zhao Ling smiled: "Yes, I usually work late, but today is Sunday."
Sunday?
Qin Tao glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall curiously. It was really Sunday, but was there any difference? Don’t you often work on Sundays?
Seeing Qin Tao coming back, Qin Haiyang in Zhao Ling's arms immediately stretched out his hands for a hug, so Qin Tao took them.
"Son, I haven't seen daddy for a while. Do you miss daddy? Come on, give me a kiss."
Sure enough, the daughter is the little cotton-padded jacket. If she were a daughter, she would have put her arms around Qin Tao's neck and kissed her on the face. This little brat couldn't do that. He grabbed Qin Tao's nose and kissed her on the face. He grabbed his face with one hand and began to treat Qin Tao's face as a toy.
The more Qin Tao's face became distorted, the happier this little bastard became. Qin Tao wanted to slap him on the buttocks.
"Hai Yang, don't play with your dad like this." Zhao Ling quickly picked it up. The little guy didn't have fun, he grinned and was about to cry.
"Hmph, when you are weaned, I will send you to grandma's house. Your mother and I will have another sister." Qin Tao began to threaten Qin Haiyang.
At this time, Qin Haiyang burst into tears. He didn't know whether the little guy was frightened by Qin Tao's fierce appearance, or whether he really understood the meaning of the words.
Zhao Ling glared at Qin Tao, then began to coax him, and finally revealed the granary and let Qin Haiyang take a few bites before he recovered.
Qin Tao was a little bored.
"The Hongqi 16A has been finalized. Next, do you plan to develop a Hongqi 16B with a longer range?" Qin Tao began to discuss with Zhao Ling.
Zhao Ling shook her head: "We still have to wait for the follow-up projects. We have more advanced solid fuel engines in China.
, and then lengthen the missile body to achieve a longer range target. Relevant domestic institutions are still studying it. "
Hongqi 16 and Hongqi 16A are both technologies obtained from Lao Maozi, and then they are imitated and improved by themselves. For Hongqi 16B, you need to tinker with it yourself. It is not that simple.
"Oh, no wonder you are so idle."
"Brother Tao, do you want me to resign and stay as a housewife or as your secretary?" Zhao Ling asked tentatively.
Qin Tao glanced at Zhao Ling helplessly: "You? Forget it, I did think about letting you stay with me as a secretary before, but you have your own ideals and pursuits, and I don't want to be a stumbling block for you. .”
"Brother Tao, you are so kind." Zhao Ling's eyes flashed, and then she kissed Qin Tao on the cheek with a pop.
"The Army is very satisfied with our HQ-16 missiles. Next, they want to put our anti-aircraft missiles on plateaus, so I may work on plateaus for a long time..."
Zhao Ling saw Qin Tao's face slowly darkening, but she didn't say anything.
"Brother Tao, are you unwilling?"
"The conditions on the plateau are difficult, Xiaoling, can your body bear it?"
Hearing Qin Tao say this, Zhao Ling's face showed a smile, and she knew that her husband would not stop her, he only cared about her.
"Of course it's no problem." Zhao Ling said with a smile: "I have been exercising during this period and I am already very strong."
"Really?" Qin Tao glanced at his wife up and down: "Then I'll try it tonight?"
"Just give it a try and see who gives in first!"
The Hongqi-16 going to the plateau is of great significance to the army. After all, the conditions on the plateau are difficult and the quantity and quality of military equipment are not high. If there are advanced air defense missiles, it can better guard the sky of the motherland.
Qin Tao couldn't stop his wife. As a military worker, he had to go wherever needed.
"By the way, I heard that the National Defense Lottery proposal is being further considered. If this proposal can succeed, you will be a great help to the army." Zhao Ling said something else.
There is no need to delay military construction. However, the country's economic aggregate is there, and it is very difficult to build a huge aircraft carrier fleet relying on financial allocations. Therefore, Qin Tao's proposal was finally seriously considered.
Sports lottery and welfare lottery are not as important as the national defense lottery. If this project is operated well, there will be sufficient funds for the development of the army.
Qin Tao's eyes also lit up. He proposed this plan that time, but it happened at the right time, and he didn't expect it to be adopted. After all, the National Defense Lottery was too illusory.
Now, I never thought it would actually happen!
Qin Tao also began to develop his ideas.
"Well, if it succeeds, then we have to make a big splash." Qin Tao said: "Other lotteries have cash rewards for winning. Our national defense lottery cannot do that. We can find some troops. The decommissioned equipment is dismantled and used as prizes. In this way, the money sold is pure profit."
Zhao Ling felt a chill.
Qin Tao has continued planning.
"For example, the lowest prize can be a commemorative coin made by melting down one of our meritorious fighter jets. The next higher level can be some models we make with bullet casings... The highest level, It could be that the tank we eliminated won the first prize, and the 59 tank drove...no, dragged it home, how exciting this is!"
"Brother Tao, it seems that if this project passes, you can be the person in charge of a project!" Zhao Ling said to Qin Tao with a smile.
"I, the boss of the dignified group, will be in charge of the national defense lottery? Of course not, it would be too unfair." Qin Tao said boldly.
The room was filled with happy laughter.
Spring is here, and it's the season for animals to have sex again.
After a night of exercise, Qin Tao's eyes also had some red bloodshot eyes.
But what made him happy was that he finally won. In the end, Zhao Ling shouted for mercy, and Qin Tao let his wife go.
In the morning, Xu Zhengyang was very curious when he saw Qin Tao like this.
"Mr. Qin, did you stay up late working again?"
Qin Tao glanced at Xu Zhengyang with contempt, "A long separation is better than a newlywed, you don't even understand this?" You guy, when will you find the other half of your life?
"What are your work arrangements today?" Qin Tao glanced at Xu Zhengyang.
"Mr. Qin, if it's convenient for you, you can go to SMIC today. The Gouson-1 there has officially started tapeout."
Taping out, as the name suggests, refers to manufacturing chips through a series of process steps like an assembly line. However, in the field of chip manufacturing, this term does not refer to large-scale production, but trial production. On the chip assembly line, the first step is to produce chips. A wafer, or a part of a wafer, is produced in dozens of pieces for testing.
Generally speaking, as long as the tape-out is successful, it means the beginning of mass production!
Qin Tao suddenly became excited: "Of course I have to go and see it, this is a new beginning!"
In October last year, SMIC's production line began to operate. At that time, it mainly produced memory chips. At the same time, domestic orders were pouring in, and there was a huge demand for various chips. Therefore, after the start of construction, it was operating at full capacity. state.
However, when Loongson asked for tape-out, Zhang Rujin immediately agreed, specially produced a batch, and was personally responsible for supervising the process. After all, the production of chips is important, and the design is equally important. With this process, domestic chips The industrial chain is complete.
The production line is not stopping at all. The disc-shaped wafer is being carved back and forth in the photolithography machine. Thin lines and transistors are slowly formed through complex processes.
This is the totem of technology!
"Lao Zhang, this is your first tape-out, will there be any problems?" Next to Zhang Rujin, Mr. Ni said worriedly. At this time, both of them were wearing white dustproof suits and staring at the wafers on the production line.
"As long as there are no problems with your design, there should be no problems with our production." Zhang Rujin said, "Even if you fail, don't be discouraged. Failure is the mother of success. We will always succeed if we improve again and again."
Mr. Ni said nothing and continued to look at the production line intently, with an expression as if he had a son in old age.
"Mr. Zhang, there's a phone number." At this moment, someone next to him said.
So, Zhang Rujin came to the corner of the workshop, picked up the phone there, and became excited after hearing the words: "Mr. Qin? Are you coming over? Welcome, welcome."
"By the time you come here, you should have already entered the packaging process. Yes, you can get the Godson No. 1 chip!"
The news that Mr. Qin was coming made Mr. Ni very excited. He walked towards the exit of the workshop: "I'll go out to greet Mr. Qin!"
Without Mr. Qin, there would be no domestic processors! The Loongson team has been burning money since its establishment and is finally about to see results. Mr. Ni can't wait to tell Mr. Qin the news.
A Mercedes-Benz G drove into SMIC. When the car stopped, Qin Tao saw Mr. Ni with an excited face outside.
"Mr. Ni, you are in great spirits during happy events!"
"Yes, Mr. Qin, our Gouson No. 1 is finally coming out!" Mr. Ni said excitedly: "Actually, if we hadn't decided to switch to a new architecture, it would have been out half a year ago, and we used it again After half a year of hard work, we are finally about to have a glorious moment!"
"By the way, has it been announced? We have to hold a press conference." Qin Tao said.
Press conference?
Mr. Ni had a look of surprise on his face: "No, we have just taped out and haven't tested it yet. Wouldn't it be bad to announce it to the public now?"
Qin Tao smiled: "Why is it bad? We must build momentum, starting now! Zhengyang, please contact us. When our tape-out comes out, take it and hold a press conference to tell everyone The world declares that we have
Brand new processor! "
"yes."
Reporters from Huating swarmed over.
"Hey, have you heard? We are going to produce our own processors in China."
"Yes, there are so many satellites launched this year! We have an aircraft carrier in the country, which is exciting enough. Now, we are about to get something as advanced as a processor!"
"A processor is much more powerful than an aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier is just a ship, and a processor is a chip, a chip! You can count the number of companies in the world that can produce processors with just one hand!"
When the reporters arrived at the banquet hall of Huating Hotel, they started talking. According to the plan, the reception would not be held until that evening, but everyone came in advance. This is definitely a major event in China!
"But do they have the X86 license? If not, they will be held accountable for patent infringement and even compensation." Some knowledgeable people are starting to worry.
This thing developed by Mingzhou Group is exciting enough, but how to avoid the ubiquitous patent barriers?
Everyone was talking a lot.
"Look, the decorations are starting to start up there."
The banner was also made in a hurry, and now it was hung up. The big guys looked at the handwriting on the banner and were extremely surprised.
Warmly celebrate the successful tape-out of Loongson-1!
Godson, the descendant of the dragon! Dragon structure, dragon instructions!
"What's going on with this dragon structure and dragon instructions?"
"I don't know. Could it be a newly developed product by them? If that's the case, how can they break into the personal computer market? The current market is already dominated by **86!"
At this time, in the far north, at the headquarters of L Xiang Group, a group of people also started discussing.
"Lao Ni and the others really succeeded." Yang Qingfeng said, "This Mingzhou Group is really rich, and they actually spent hundreds of millions!"
"Huh, even if the game is successful, it doesn't make any sense." Liu Zhonglie said: "What dragon architecture and dragon instructions they have are all their wishful thinking. Let's not talk about the performance of their processors. Just talk about this The compatibility of processors cannot be compared with Intel and AMD. We think we are currently the largest branded mobile phone company in China. When they come to sell door-to-door, we will not want any of them. Let’s see how they deal with this. Sell the utensils, huh, what are the leftovers? Why would anyone want the leftovers?"
"Yes, that's what I think too." Yang Qingfeng said, "Our company wants to ensure profits and we will never be allowed to do this kind of thing. Business has business rules, and we can't lose money to help them sell, even if the superiors come down to administer Order, we have the same attitude. I just don’t know what tricks that Mr. Qin is playing.”
"What can he do? He is a shipbuilder. His influence is in the field of military and shipbuilding. In our field of computers, he is just a layman." Liu Zhonglie said, "We have the final say in this field! We have good reasons not to use bullshit, technology has no borders, we only choose what is best for us."
Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation.
The BGA packaged chip was placed in Qin Tao's hands.
Judging from the size, it is similar to the 486 chip. There are hundreds of densely packed pins underneath, and above it is a metal top cover spray-painted with yellow English letters: Godson, followed by a big 1.
"Mr. Qin, this is the name you gave me originally. If you think it's not good, we can also spray-paint Chinese subtitles on it when we officially promote it." Mr. Ni said to Qin Tao.
Qin Tao shook his head: "Let's use English. If we want to develop science and technology, we must integrate with foreign countries. We cannot be like the Qing Dynasty, which regarded itself as a celestial dynasty and felt it was shameful to learn other people's things, including languages."
"Mr. Qin, we are here!" Zhang Dong and Wang Hua's voices sounded at the door.
Once, they were also technical staff of Loongson Company, but later they left and formed a specialized software company. The famous ICQ software also became popular around the world. Their Goose Factory Company,
As a result, it has become a world-famous Internet company.
Although the company has also set up an agency in Silicon Valley, the two still travel back and forth frequently. This is their root. They happened to be in China recently and heard Qin Tao's call, so they came immediately.
"Well, you are here just in time. We are holding a press conference for Gouson No. 1 tonight. At this conference, you two will also have the opportunity to speak. How is the development of your game?"
"After receiving your message, we started research and development." Zhang Dong said: "The game that has completed testing so far is Violent Motorcycle. Although the game is small, it is still very interesting to play online."
Qin Tao nodded. These ideas were all given by him. In this era, most games are still stand-alone games. How can this satisfy the needs of gamers? In particular, the interactivity of the game has been greatly reduced. One person can only play with the computer, so what kind of game can there be?
Although Violent Motorcycle is primitive, it is an online game after all. Several people can play together online and kick down the people next to them during the game. Qin Tao in his previous life once liked this game very much, so he gave it all his ideas. Goose factory.
"It's just that this kind of online game consumes too many resources. Only the newly launched Pentium Pro from Intel can support it well." Wang Hua said, "Online games consume too many resources."
Speaking of processors, people easily think of Intel, AMD, and X86. After changing from 8086 to 80486, Intel felt unhappy because other manufacturers' CPUs used this name.
What should I do if I feel unhappy?
Of course I changed my name!
As a result, the processor that was originally supposed to be named 586 became Pentium 1.
Next, there was Pentium 2, and then Pentium 4 began to be renamed Core.
In fact, between Pentium 1 and Pentium 2, there is another one that is not very famous, called Pentium pro. This PU was launched in 1995 and is currently the most powerful personal computer in terms of processing power.
"That's because you went in the wrong direction." Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "You put a lot of computing work on the processor, which of course overwhelms the processor. You should put the computing power on the graphics card!"
Graphics card? What is a graphics card?
Wang Hua blinked: "Mr. Qin, are you talking about the graphics accelerator card?"
"Yes, it's this kind of thing." Qin Tao said: "You have to put all the main computing power on the graphics accelerator card."
In this era, graphics cards were not very important and were regarded as an accessory of the computer. In later generations, all calculation work for graphics display was placed on the graphics card, and the processor was not so important.
"The most popular one now is probably Nvidia's STG-2000X." Zhang Dong said, "If we optimize based on this graphics card, we should be able to improve some performance."
In 1993, Nvidia was established. In 1995, it developed the STG-2000X, which had advanced performance. However, because it had just come out, its sales were average. In 1998, Nvidia continued its efforts and launched TNT, which became popular.
"Our Dragon instruction set originally had a dedicated graphics instruction set and optimized graphics calculations." Mr. Ni said, "If your program is optimized with our processor, it will definitely be smoother."
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's combine software and hardware to expand the market together and let the Intel alliance get out of our country!" Qin Tao said.
Mr. Ni's eyes showed the light of hope, which was also his ideal.
In the field of microelectronics, China must catch up and reach the world's advanced level! It’s not too late to catch up now, I can still fight for another twenty years!
