Reborn since 1993

Chapter 535 Secret
The entire area of ​​​​Doxin Semiconductor and the land it has occupied are more than twice as much as when Li Dongling came last time.

Especially the adjacent land, where a large area of ​​​​space had obviously been cleared. Li Dongling knew that it was the land reserved for the chip production base.

Li Weimin, Zhou Shuyang and other people from the city government of Hanxi Province have visited Dongxin Semiconductor and Oriental Optoelectronics, which is across the street from it, several times, but the Dongxin Semiconductor in front of them was still somewhat beyond their expectations.

"It seems that Dongxin Semiconductor is making a big move?"

After entering Doxin Semiconductor, Zhou Shuyang asked Wu Xinyi tentatively.

Li Weimin, who was in charge of the Hanxi Industrial Department, knew more about Dongxin Semiconductor. He could see that Dongxin Semiconductor was obviously preparing for a big move, so he asked, "I heard that Dongxin Semiconductor has also reached a cooperation agreement with Microsoft?"

The domestic media's attention was all focused on the game console project, and then Feiyan Technology's huge financing and listing. Moreover, their interest in Li Dongling's private jet was greater than the news that Doxin Semiconductor had reached a cooperation with Microsoft.

Only people in the semiconductor industry in China are paying attention to this cooperation. People in other industries are not that interested in the news that Microsoft systems support Dochip Semiconductor.

Wu Xinyi glanced at Li Dongling, and when he saw Li Dongling nodded slightly, he said, "Dongxin Semiconductor's R&D department is developing a new chip project, and tape-out will begin next month!"

Doxin Semiconductor's computer chip project has been kept confidential, but now it is about to start trial tape-out. It's time to take it out for a walk to see if it's a good product.

Regardless of success or failure, at this point, there is no need to cover it up. After all, even if it is fireworks, it will only make a noise. Dongling Hi-Tech Headquarters and Dongxin Semiconductor have invested so much money, so they should at least see something.

Hearing this, Li Weimin and Zhou Shuyang's faces changed slightly. They came here today, saying that they were inspecting Doxin Semiconductor, but in fact, they were basically just going through the motions. What they really cared about was the project that Li Dongling had completed in America.

But now after hearing what Wu Xinyi said, they felt that they seemed to have encountered something unexpected this time.

"Sirius' new generation of chips?" Li Weimin asked tentatively. His deepest impression of Doxin Semiconductor was of course the Sirius chip.

When Sirius came out of nowhere, it broke the monopoly of foreign landline chips led by Toshiba in China, and also made the Industry Department of Hanxi Province gain a lot of reputation. At that time, even the central media gave Sirius nearly a few seconds of footage in the 7 pm news.

After the Sirius chip, Doxin Semiconductor did become famous in China, but the domestic semiconductor industry has been severely damaged in recent years.

In addition, the majority of chips today are computer chips, which are the jewel in the crown. Compared with computer chips, the light emitted by the Sirius chip is still much dimmer.

Sirius alone is not enough to change the current situation of domestic chips. After a gust of wind, the domestic semiconductor industry has returned to calm again.

Now when he heard about Doxin Semiconductor's new generation of chip project, Li Weimin subconsciously thought it was Sirius's new generation of chips. After all, Doxin Semiconductor has experience in this area, and it is reasonable for it to launch the second-generation Sirius chip and make another profit.

"It's a computer chip project developed by Dongxin Semiconductor!"

Li Dongling spoke at this time. Hearing this, Li Weimin, who had just raised his feet, staggered and almost fell to the ground, looking at Li Dongling with surprise.

Zhou Shuyang and several other heads of city government departments in Hanxi Province, who were unfamiliar with semiconductors, realized it a little later and didn't know why Li Weimin reacted so strongly.

"Dongxin Semiconductor is developing its own domestic computer chips and is about to start trial production?"

Li Weimin's face flushed a little. He knew very well what this news meant. If the research and development could be successful, it would be like launching a satellite.

Regardless of whether the performance of this computer chip developed by Dongxin Semiconductor is high-end, as long as it can operate normally, even if it is a low-end chip, it will set a new record for countless domestic chips!

Even now, no matter how little attention is paid to the semiconductor industry in China, Dongxin Semiconductor will not be allowed to fail. As long as the performance and quality are acceptable, there will be no shortage of orders in the future.

Li Weimin even felt that it was not impossible to build a semiconductor industrial park cluster around Doxin Semiconductor in the provincial capital of Hanxi.

The completion of the semiconductor industrial park will not only add a signature industry to the provincial capital of Hanxi, but will also have the potential to provide a large number of jobs and tax revenue for the provincial capital of Hanxi in the future.

For Li Weimin, this also concerns his posthumous reputation in his career. As long as the sign of the semiconductor industrial park, which is a national key project, is hung up, Li Weimin's name will not only be written into the provincial annals of the provincial government, but his name will also be recorded in the history of the development of the domestic semiconductor industry.

Fame, wealth, and even posthumous reputation could all be obtained. How could Li Weimin not be excited?
"Director Li, this is just tape-out, there is still a long way to go before trial production!" Wu Xinyi said. "I believe in Dongxin Semiconductor and... Dongling Hi-Tech. This first domestically produced computer chip project will definitely go to Dongxin!"

Li Weimin waved his hand and spoke with great momentum, as if he trusted Dongling Hi-Tech and Doxin Semiconductor more than Li Dongling.

However, judging from the fact that Dongling Hi-Tech has never lost in the past few years, not only Li Weimin, but also countless people in Hanxi have great confidence in Dongling Hi-Tech. When a person is undefeated, those who support him will have more confidence than he himself...

At this time, Zhou Shuyang and other people from the Hanxi Provincial Government also understood the significance of the new Dongxin project. The first domestically produced computer project, just by hearing the title, one can imagine how great the impact will be if this chip is made public!
At this time, Li Weimin, Zhou Shuyang and others had no intention of inspecting other departments of Doxin Semiconductor. They just wanted to see the domestically produced computer chip of Doxin Semiconductor.

"Manager Wu, would it be convenient for us to go into the laboratory for a tour?"

Li Weimin asked Wu Xinyi, actually he was asking Li Dongling. Wu Xinyi saw Li Dongling nod, then he led a group of people to rush to the laboratory.

"Brother Li, you are really a hidden talent. You have such a project, but you have kept it secret until now!"

Wu Yaoguo whispered to Li Dongling that he now knew why Li Dongling wanted to build a chip production base for Doxin.

Li Dongling glanced at Wu Yaoguo and said, "It's not a cover-up. No one knows whether the self-developed computer chip project can succeed. Even now, it's only tape-out. It's still a long way from being a success!"

Wu Yaoguo pointed at Li Dongling, seemingly not believing what he said, "Don't I know your style?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dongling could only shake his head helplessly. Be it Li Weimin or Wu Yaoguo, they seemed to have more confidence in Dongling Hi-Tech and Doxin Semiconductor than he, the leader. This made no sense.

The first impression I had when I first walked into the laboratory building of Doxin Semiconductor was that the security was tight. There were security guards patrolling before I even got close to the laboratory.

To get in, one has to go through several checkpoints and use security detectors imported from abroad. The entire building is also covered by surveillance. This level of security is the first of its kind in Hanxi.

You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Li Dongling has equipped his R&D projects and important R&D engineers with bodyguards and security measures.

It may not be noticeable now, but as Dongling Hi-Tech and Doxin Semiconductor have more and more competitors, we have to be wary of the other party, who may use some shady tricks to target Dongling Hi-Tech.

After all, the most direct, effective and immediate way to hinder a company's R&D project is to get rid of the chief engineer of the project, saving money, trouble and time.

The giant companies in America and old Europe will definitely resort to this kind of thing when they are about to be overtaken by latecomers. For companies controlled by Anglo-Saxons and Hebrews, the biggest bottom line is that there is no bottom line, and they can do anything!

Dongxin Semiconductor's experimental building does not look tall, but it is actually divided into two parts, above ground and underground. There are ten floors above ground and three floors underground, including an escape floor, which can ensure that in an emergency, the R&D personnel in the building can enter the underground escape floor to survive the crisis.

The cost of this building was borne by the headquarters of Dongling Hi-Tech, and the total cost was close to 70 to 80 million yuan. This amount of money is definitely a huge sum of money nowadays.

As soon as they entered the experimental building of Doxin Semiconductor, Wu Yaoguo, Li Weimin, Zhou Shuyang and others were stunned. Nowadays, all laboratories and research institutes in China have the spirit of "enduring hardship".

Research institutes like Hanxi's, including university laboratories, have relatively simple facilities because of insufficient funds. There is no way to build special laboratory buildings with luxurious interior decorations. Some laboratories are not even equipped with air conditioners and still use large fans that have been running for more than ten years. After get off work, many R&D personnel have to squeeze into the tube-shaped buildings with their families.

However, the laboratory of Doxin Semiconductor is completely modern in style, with decoration style similar to that of later generations. It has an internal constant temperature system, and the decoration is mainly in modern style. It is equipped with many modern equipment. At first glance, it feels full of "technology".

In addition to the laboratories, the entire experimental building is equipped with a rest area, a gym, a library, a smoking area, a leisure area with TVs and game consoles, an emergency medical room, etc.

"Academician Ni, Professor Huang!"

Li Dongling, Wu Yaoguo and others came to the ninth floor, which is Dongxin's ten-story laboratory. Each floor has different projects, and the ninth floor is exclusively for the computer chip R&D team.

After entering, Ni Guangnan and Huang Lingyi were still busy with their respective teams. Both of them were workaholics. Since the beginning of research and development, they basically lived in the laboratory.

"This is the sample chip we are developing. The chip codename is Tianji No. 1!"
