Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 608, First Place in Assessment

Shen Qian always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she looked at the young man in front of her.

This feeling is very strong.

Looking at the other party's expression, Wang Qingsong said directly: "Ms. Shen, this is the first time and the last time. I hope you won't ask casually in the future. This is what we agreed before. Otherwise, we can terminate our cooperation."

These words scared Shen Qian.

I quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was just asking casually! Don't worry, I won't ask again in the future."

If this matter were to be abandoned because of her recklessness, the cost would be too high.

Wang Qingsong hummed and said, "Well, forget it this time. But you won't be here for long. You already know how to use the machine. All that's left is to get familiar with it. You can leave in a few days."

Shen Qian nodded: "I know, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he left here.

Wang Qingsong looked at the other person's back as he left without saying anything.

He toured the factory before leaving.

The circuit board factory has now closed for business, and only the mobile phone customer service on the fourth floor is still busy.

Speaking of circuit boards, it's time to bring in a few more production lines.

Because in the past six months, Li Sichen has received a lot of orders from overseas, reaching 70 pieces per month.

For this purpose, he specially transferred goods from the future to supply this side.

As for the mainland, they no longer place orders from him because the mainland has now begun mass production of multilayer boards.

But I can't be as efficient as him.

But the mainland doesn't care.

Solving the employment problem is relatively more important.

Even though it requires a lot of manpower and the cost will be much higher, it can at least save a lot of unnecessary foreign exchange.

Of course, there are still orders for high-end boards, but the quantity is not as large.

However, due to cost issues, there is a trend of increasing orders from abroad. After all, other factories are not fools.

If I know there is something cheap and useful, I will definitely ask about it.

For this reason, Li Sichen followed his instructions and began to advertise in newspapers in Silicon Valley and various continents, especially in industrial newspapers.

So the orders are increasing now.

70 pieces per month is only a very small share in the world.

But this is also progress.

He called Li Siying to make sure there was no problem with the phone, then drove to the factory next door.

He is going to graduate school.

After so much time, Spock has moved the research institute here.

The reason why we have to go there today is because the lithography machine on Spock's side has already been manufactured.

The reason why it is so fast.

Because the lithography machines of that time were very backward, compared with later ones, they were like the difference between ordinary manual machine tools and CNC machine tools.

It's very big.

(GCA had 18 engineers who developed the lithography machine in less than a year.)
It doesn’t matter if the technology is backward, he has plenty of it.

The lithography machines have been updated for many generations and can be roughly divided into four stages.

There are many small branches in the middle, and the current lithography machine is only the end of the first stage.

As long as he can research it out and slowly add in the technology, he believes there will be a qualitative leap in the short term.

1990 marked the beginning of the fourth stage.

This year is just the beginning of the second stage. With the technology he has transferred from later generations, I believe we will be able to reach the third generation stage soon.

As for the fourth generation, or even EUV lithography machines, this is not something he can access.

Even if we get access to it, many of the accompanying technologies cannot be transferred here.

……

Wang Qingsong drove to the research institute.

He showed his face and went straight in.

We agreed to come and take a look today.

It was also because he had received news last night that the first radio chip was already in production today.

After parking the car, he walked directly into the laboratory building.

The security downstairs knew that he was the boss here, so they naturally wouldn't stop him.

Took the elevator directly to the second floor.

It's time to get off work, and there are still quite a few people in the laboratory building.

They are basically foreigners.

I went to the second floor, changed into white striped anti-static and dust-proof clothing, and walked directly into the air shower door.

"Spock!!"

There weren't many people inside, but he could see some people gathered around a workbench.

Wang Qingsong shouted.

When the other party heard the shout, he looked very happy.

"Hi! Boss! You are here!"

Spock greeted him in broken Chinese.

Wang Qingsong walked closer and took a look at the table. There was a matchbox-sized object with a dozen gold-plated pins on both sides.

The people next to him immediately made way.

Spock handed him an anti-static bracelet directly.

Wang Qingsong put it on and picked up the thing to take a look.

Surface is gold-plated.

After watching for a while, he smiled and asked, "How is it? Success?"

Spock was excited when he heard this.

Talking there.

The boss is coming over today and the translator hasn't left either.

A female translator nearby was translating: "Boss! This is a radio chip, which integrates 17 transistors with various functions. ..."

Let’s talk about the general situation.

Then he said: "The transistors integrated in this chip can make the object smaller, and the price is half the price of using all transistors. Of course, this is the price of mass production, and the price in the laboratory is much higher."

Wang Qingsong listened quietly.

I was thinking about it in my heart.

17 transistors are really too few. In later generations, 200 billion transistors were integrated on a chip.

In comparison, one is heaven and the other is earth.

But at least we have achieved the breakthrough from O to 1, which is very important.

This is mainly because we already have lithography machines, so the early theoretical technology already exists, so it is not surprising that these people can produce it so quickly.

The remaining important thing is naturally technological development.

As for the price Spock mentioned.

Previously, transistors were soldered one by one on the circuit board, and the price Spock mentioned was the total price of these 17 transistors.

Today, one chip integrates the functions of 17 transistors.

The price of a single item is much more expensive than each of the 17 items, but it is half cheaper than the total of the 17 items.

He collected his thoughts and smiled, "Spock, I will continue to increase the R&D expenses. We need to master the full set of lithography technology ourselves and continue to develop it. In addition to lithography technology, in terms of integrated circuits, I hope to achieve 2300 transistors within three years."

He remembered that the first chip produced by Intel in 1971, the 4004, integrated 2300 transistors.

Moore's Law states that the number of transistors doubles every 12 months, performance improves and costs halve. This law will definitely be broken by him.

Hearing this, Spock thought: "Boss! This may be a difficult task to accomplish."

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "It's okay. I will definitely help. Research and development must continue, but we also need to achieve mass production and sell equipment in the future. You are still needed to preside over this matter! It would be best if a related industrial chain could be built here. I'm talking about the core."

This made Spock frown.

"Boss! If you want to achieve mass production here, it's not a big problem, but building related industries is too difficult even for me. You know, the land here is too small. This will be a very large investment."

Wang Qingsong naturally understood this truth.

But he still said: "I understand, just follow what I said and develop slowly."

There are some semiconductor companies in Silicon Valley in the United States, but there are really not many at the moment.

The real development took place during the semiconductor explosion in the mid-to-late 1980s.

Even a company like Intel has just been established and is only worth a few million dollars.

Why can't he develop another Silicon Valley-like existence?
As long as he can come up with many things that are more than a decade ahead of this era, he can still attract a large number of companies to settle in, and it doesn't necessarily have to be done by his company alone.

If it was done by his company alone, it would indeed be a huge investment.

Even with his current income, he may not be able to support it.

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

All I can say is try it if you get a chance!
Development is definitely necessary, and it would be best if an alternative Silicon Valley could be developed in the process.

Then he smiled and said, "Spock, if a great company is born in your hands, isn't that a good thing? These are some of the information I brought with me."

As he spoke, he took out the suitcase he had brought with him.

Hearing this, Spock picked up one of the books and started reading it.

“Proximity lithography?

A nitrogen gap is kept between the mask and the wafer to reduce contamination, but the resolution is limited by the diffraction effect and is about 2μm
Projection lithography?

The resolution is significantly improved by using a reduced-magnification projection lens. The subsequent development direction is step-and-repeat lithography (mask fixed, wafer stepping movement).

Step-and-scan technology: To adapt to the increase in chip area and the reduction in line width (such as below 0.25μm), a dynamic scanning method is adopted, and the mask and wafer move synchronously to improve exposure uniformity. ..."

After looking for a while, Spock raised his head sharply.

Wang Qingsong nodded lightly.

Proximity lithography is a popular technology in the second phase.

Projection lithography was a popular technology in the 1980s and 1990s.

As for the fourth stage, he has the information, but there is no point in showing it now. These people can't understand it, so there is no need to show it.

Spock was fascinated by the information.

Even just looking at the catalog gives me a lot of inspiration.

In particular, the middle-aged man next to him was the big boss that Spock invited back from outside.

At this moment, he was looking at the book with a hungry look.

From time to time, he uttered exclamations.

Wang Qingsong looked at him and said, "Spock, I'll leave these books to you. I hope you won't let me down."

Spock looked up after hearing this: "Boss, don't worry, I will complete the mission."

Wang Qingsong smiled and nodded when he saw this: "Okay, I'll give the things to you. You have already signed the contract for these things. If they are leaked, there will be a painful price to pay."

"Good boss, we are all people with professional ethics."

Spock was there to assure.

Wang Qingsong nodded slightly when he heard this.

At least the technologies that have been developed now belong to the company, so if these people leave in the future, it won’t have much impact.

Of course, talent is indeed a problem.

The mainland will not send big guys here.

There are only people from the University of Hong Kong on the Hong Kong Island side. Du Wanting has already formed a cooperation with Hong Kong Island, and people from there have started to come over.

But the number of these people is limited after all.

After all, there is only one university in HKU.

Sometimes, you have to admit it.

In scientific research, sometimes a genius can really replace an entire team. Genius is so important.

He collected his thoughts, said hello to these people and left.

Technological breakthroughs are very important.

But that's not all he is.

I didn't go to Du Wanting's place because Du Wanting went abroad to discuss business.

Wang Qingsong left the factory and returned to Zhou Ying.

……

The next day, I went to work at the machine tool factory as usual!
After arriving, he was thinking about whether to open a machinery factory in Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong Island doesn’t look very big.

In the future, there will be many factories here with great demand for machining.

Moreover, with the establishment of a machine tool factory, many machine tools can be taken out, making maintenance more convenient.

While he was thinking, he saw Chen Fei coming over.

"Qingsong, you are really good! You got first place in this exam! Finally first place!"

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong smiled.

When a machine tool factory recruits people for training, they need to take an exam once a month. The exam content includes not only what is taught in class, but also a lot of things that are not taught in class.

After arriving, his grades have always been at the bottom.

Only the cultural subjects have always maintained the top few rankings.

The reason why there is no first place is that some of them are college students and junior college students, and it is already quite good for them to maintain this position in their academic subjects.

As for the first one that Chen Fei mentioned, it was naturally the actual operation.

He collected his thoughts and smiled: "I am just lucky."

Looking at his expression, Fade Chen clicked his tongue and said, "Lucky? I watched you climb from last to first step by step."

He was also surprised.

He had witnessed this for the past six months.

Wang Qingsong smiled when he heard this.

He has been really tired in the past six months.

Not only did he study during the day, he also continued to study with the night shift workers until after eight o'clock at night. After he went to Zhou Ying's place, he spent almost every day in Gao Qianfan's machine tool maintenance department.

He was given almost fixed-point training there, and many unnecessary reliefs were omitted.

I basically study until the evening.

When I come back, I have to watch various videos to learn the basics.

Occasionally go out with Zhou Ying.

He put on hold the previous agreement to travel together to Hong Kong in the future.

Although he was a little surprised to get first place, he also felt it was reasonable.

At least after this training, a lot of the knowledge I learned can be put into practice in the future.

Not to mention that he specially bought a lot of university books to study there.

Chen Fei looked at him enviously and said, "Your brain is really good. It only took you half a year to go from last to first. I will definitely praise you when I return to the factory!"

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether I get praised or not, as long as I can help the factory recover its losses."

However, he also knows that he has learned a lot and a lot of things, and now he is just cramming.

After returning, it still takes some time to settle down.
