Chapter 113 A Little Crazy
"That's the idea." Su Chen nodded: "But you also know that this kind of thing is not something that I just talk about, and it needs a lot of manpower, material and financial resources."

"It's interesting." Teacher Zhao took a sip of tea: "Then tell me, how is your idea different from that of the Electronic Computer Research Institute? And they just successfully developed the 150-AP high-speed data processor last year."

Founded in 1956, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences will establish a new technology development company of the Institute of Computing in two years, which is the predecessor of X Idea.

Later, academician Ni and Liu Chuanxiang disagreed in their ideas. It is said that one wanted to engage in chips, and the other wanted to engage in industry and trade, which led to a dispute between trade, industry, technology and technology, industry and trade.

This may be about the unavoidable Kaner-X86 architecture.

The X86 architecture is not in vain. Its architecture is mainly used in the PC field such as notebooks, desktops, and small servers; while ARM is mainly used in the mobile field such as mobile phones and tablets.

But now Su Chen can bypass the X86 and design directly with the ARM architecture.

And it won't be until next year that ARM's predecessor, Acorn Computer, plans to develop a Conexant ARM processor for routers.

So, now is to make a time difference.

Back then, Su Chen read a lot of materials in order to understand the dispute between trade, industry and technology and technology, industry and trade.

Su Chen got up, wrote on the blackboard on the wall with chalk, and said while writing: "Mr. Zhao, you also know that computers are composed of hardware and software.

Hardware includes things like the CPU, and the CPU is equivalent to the brain of the human body. Without the brain, this pile of hardware is useless. I will boldly say it today.

When it comes to hardware, we have to mention the 1978-bit microprocessor 16 released by Intel in 8086. It is not just a simple chip, but brings an architecture, that is, the X86 architecture.

No matter what kind of chip we develop, the X86 architecture will be a hurdle we can't get around, so I boldly imagine that we can develop a new architecture again.

As for this new architecture, let's boldly imagine that we will not apply it to electronic computers, because we will definitely not be able to compete with Intel, but we can put it on smaller products.

For example, we can design a computer to be the size of a book, hold it in our hands, and work anytime, anywhere, without being as big as the current electronic computer.

Suppose again, if this architecture is created by us, we will create another ecosystem. "

Su Chen wrote the four words 'ecosystem' on the blackboard, drew another circle, and then said: "This ecosystem, I interpret it as, is like a person, if it is in the desert, it must be difficult to survive.

But if in the city, food, clothing, housing, and transportation can be satisfied, then you can survive well. For example, computers are mostly used for scientific research nowadays.

If we develop a variety of matching software, such as office software, scientific research software, and life software, and all computers can be used universally, then this is a complete ecosystem.

But before developing this ecosystem, we must develop our own architecture, our own chips, and our own lithography machine. If someday, foreign people do not allow us to use the X86 architecture, we can also have own set of things.

Of course, this is just my own idea, and it is very difficult to realize it, and you also know that I am very stingy, and some things need to be in my own hands before I can rest assured.

That's why I choose to make money by being a second-hand dealer. I'll tell you the truth, it's not that I'm not patriotic. In fact, I'm very patriotic, but I don't want anyone to strangle me. "

Teacher Zhao was full of interest at first, but when he heard Su Chen's words, he immediately lost his appetite.

"As a co-author, you think I will sell you, don't you?" Teacher Zhao said with contempt on his face, "So, you just have such an idea now? But you don't know how to do it?"

Su Chen nodded, because he only knew the general things, how could he be proficient in everything?
But he probably knows the architecture of arm.

Teacher Zhao took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. After about 2 minutes, he asked, "That is to say, the new structure you mentioned is a bit difficult to realize? "

"You can make it difficult for me. If it was easy to realize, I would have done it directly, and you can see that I don't even have a computer now." Su Chen said: "After all, the computer is not designed by us Chinese. out, unless we can compile it in Chinese."

Teacher Zhao was silent again: "If this thing is produced, how much do you think it will cost?"

"Hundreds of millions." Su Chen said, "And it's still a beautiful knife."

"What about the time?" Teacher Zhao asked again.

"It can be as short as seven or eight years, or as long as ten years."

"You want to go it alone?"

"I have this idea." Su Chen smiled honestly: "The ancestors taught us: Wealth should not be revealed."

"Little slicker." Teacher Zhao scolded with a smile, and then continued: "Tell me about this structure again, I'm a little interested."

"Okay." Su Chen thought for a while, and explained: "The architecture, my idea is the same as the design drawing of the house. For example, today the Zhang family next door wants to build a house, so I will sell my design drawing to him.

But if after a period of time, I find that others think of other styles, then I will come up with new design drawings. For example, I will divide this structure into residential houses, luxury houses, and military bases, and sell them to different people. "

Mr. Zhao listened to it for a long time, but he was confused, but he felt very powerful.

Because this is not something that an ordinary college student can think of.

Immediately afterwards, Su Chen said: "In order to curb foreign countries, I plan to improve the lithography machine again. This is equivalent to cement and steel bars. He bought the blueprints, and if he wants to build a house, he must buy cement and steel bars, right?"

"I thought about it carefully, and I will talk about my opinion."

Teacher Zhao thought about it seriously, and said: "There are two problems with your idea. Why do you say that? Because we don't have many people who understand computers. In addition, if you really want to set up such a research institute in China, what do you think? Will it be all right?"

He pointed to the top of his head with his finger, and then continued: "Second, if you want to build a lithography machine, that's fine. It's very difficult in China to pinch other people's necks and build structures. Don't you want to be a second-hand dealer? So My suggestion is, if there is a way, then you go abroad to develop such a company.

If a foreign country already has a ready-made company, it can directly buy such a company and recruit talents in this field. There are more electronic and computer talents in foreign countries than in our country.

And relatively speaking, this is much cheaper than recruiting people from scratch to set up a research institute. Maybe someone has already done it, but there is no money to operate it. "

Su Chen's eyes couldn't help but brighten. He really seemed to have entered a misunderstanding, always thinking about doing it in his own country.

If you make money, just go ahead and buy Acorn Computer Company and turn it into a Chinese company, or not.

Anyway, Intel definitely can't buy it. The founder of that guy is a rich man, so he can only pin his hopes on Acorn Computer Company.

Later generations of Softbank acquired arm for 234 billion pounds, and now they certainly can't ask for that much money.

"Mr. Zhao, listening to your words really opened my eyes." Su Chen said seriously, "Otherwise, I would have walked into a dead end."

"You are the one who surprised me. I really didn't expect you to have these crazy ideas. Others are still thinking about studying abroad, but you have thought of so many things. No wonder Xue Yu said that your thinking doesn't look like your age. match."

Teacher Zhao took another sip of tea: "You really have to hold good things in your own hands. Since you want to make money, then make more money. Buying a company is much better than attracting people to do it yourself.

But the premise is that the company is willing to sell. Since you know so much, it means that you have a way when you go to Hong Kong, and it also means that you must have made a lot of money to have these ideas. "

Su Chen replied honestly: "I didn't make much money, but I have to have an idea. People have to live worthwhile, don't they?"

Teacher Zhao smiled: "It's good that you have such an idea, so I don't care what you want to do after graduation, but if you dare to let Xue Yu down, I won't let you go."

"How could it be?" Su Chen said, "I will treat her well."

"Don't make promises to me, I want visible actions." Teacher Zhao waved his hand and continued: "Let's talk about this today, we came here on an empty stomach."

"I'll arrange dinner right now." Su Chen patted his head, and just as he came out of the study, he saw Xue Yu and Mrs. Zhao coming back.

Xue Yu communicated with Su Chen with his eyes: My uncle didn't make things difficult for you, did he?
Su Chen also responded: No, your uncle is almost overwhelmed by me.

"Yu'er, go and prepare dinner, don't entertain me and your aunt." Teacher Zhao said in the study.

In fact, the dinner has been arranged in advance, the dishes and everything have been washed and cut, and it only needs to be fried in a pan.

Xue Yu replied: "Okay uncle, then you sit down for a while, dinner will be ready soon."

After Xue Yu and Su Chen went to work in the kitchen, Mrs. Zhao asked in a low voice, "How is the child?"

"Thinking doesn't match my age. It looks like I'm only in my early twenties, but my thinking is already the same as that of people in their fifties and sixties." Teacher Zhao said: "Very thoughtful, very assertive, and a little crazy..."
