When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 136 Chapter 135 Opportunity from heaven (please support me in this big chapter)

After seeing Zhou Guangping off, Wang Donglai returned to the library and read.

No one knows or can see that Wang Donglai, who just went out for a short trip, has increased his net worth by 230 million.

Wang Donglai doesn't think he can keep the three patents he still has in his hands for much longer.

The actions of Warwick and Xiaomi are not secret. In addition, they have their own papers, so it is only a matter of time before other major manufacturers notice them.

It just depends on whether Jinli, OV, or the Mei team can arrive in time.

If it were a normal time, it might not be a big deal if I couldn't catch this fast-charging bus.

But in the domestic market, which is undergoing rapid iteration, this is not possible.

At this time, Android phones are still in a period of rapid iteration. Even a newly released phone will become stuck after a year of use and its configuration will fall behind.

Only after the debut of Qualcomm's first-generation core Xiaolong 835 and the domestic market share has been roughly determined, the service life of Android phones will become longer and more durable.

Next.

Wang Donglai plans to use the funds obtained from these patents to invest in Galaxy Technology.

Several hundred million may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not enough to complete his layout.

If he wants to solve the bottleneck and seize control, he cannot introduce capital investment in the early stage, lest he loses his right to speak.

In 2012, China imported US$1083.3 billion in processors and controllers, accounting for 56.4% of the total import volume of the integrated circuit market. However, the domestic integrated circuit industry sales were only 2185.43 billion yuan.

This also includes a large number of foreign-funded enterprises, most of which only produce products for their own parent companies. After deductions, the domestic market share of my country's integrated circuit products will be much lower.

The situation is not optimistic and can even be said to be difficult.

Although it is a difficulty, it is also an opportunity.

According to later memories, as of 2019, the self-sufficiency rate of domestic chips was about 30%, and the rate in subdivisions was less than 15%.

Under such circumstances, domestic policies will inevitably strongly support the development of the integrated circuit industry, and Wang Donglai can take advantage of this opportunity to eat up the import share through the help of the system. This is a huge blue ocean.

Directly control major domestic manufacturers from upstream and be their father.

You don't have to be like them, trying their best to control the market, design, and sales.

……

As the exams at Tangdu Jiaotong University approached, everyone's footsteps became hurried.

Wang Donglai, on the other hand, remained calm and went to the graduate school to attend classes.

Although there is a reading system, Wang Donglai can become stronger through reading, but this does not prevent Wang Donglai from listening to the lectures of senior professors to speed up the absorption and understanding of knowledge.

"Today I won't tell you the knowledge in the book. I will tell you something that can make you think."

"Now that you are in graduate school, you should be exposed to these things. Whether you go to work after graduation or continue to study for a Ph.D., you can refer to it."

The computer science professor on the podium looked at the students below and gave a different kind of lecture.

"Now is the Internet era, and smart phones are very popular recently. I believe everyone can see that this is the future trend. Small mobile phones hide so many things. But have you ever thought about why Apple phones and domestically produced The difference between mobile phones is so big..."

"The production of chips is supported by the semiconductor industry, but probably everyone's first impression of semiconductors is 'silicon', which is the main component of sand. When you hear this name, do you feel a sense of familiarity? Does the bald eagle have A place called Silicon Valley?”

"With this connection, you should have thought of it. The reason why the place where Bald Eagle is located is called Silicon Valley is because there are a large number of semiconductor industry companies there. Bald Eagle owns a Silicon Valley, which also proves the power of Bald Eagle's semiconductor industry. , then the excellent performance of Apple mobile phones is a matter of course..."

"If this lecture imparts knowledge to you, it won't actually impart much knowledge. But if one of you makes achievements in the semiconductor industry, it will be a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Of course, this is a rather grand statement. If you pay more attention to yourself, smartphones are the future trend, which means that the semiconductor industry will become popular. This is a very marketable industry, and you can develop in this direction after graduation..."

Sitting below, Wang Donglai didn't pay much attention when he heard that the professor above was not going to teach the knowledge in the book.

But when the professor mentioned chips and semiconductors, Wang Donglai's eyes lit up.

The content is easy to understand, and he also has a deep knowledge reserve. At the same time, he also gives correct suggestions to students like them. He is indeed a capable professor.

A professor who can be invited by Tangdu Jiaotong University to give a lecture must naturally not be too bad.

Looking at the dense crowd of students sitting below, we know even more that this professor's reputation is not small.

However, Wang Donglai didn't care about these. He was more concerned about what insights the professor would have and whether he could have any inspiration for himself.

"To manufacture a small chip, from the initial design to production, testing, packaging, etc., it requires the cooperation of many companies upstream and downstream of the industry chain, and it can be completed after thousands of processes..."

"Among these processes, chip design is the soul of the chip. What functions the chip wants to achieve depends entirely on the overall design of the initial chip. So what exactly is the chip design? To be precise, chip design is actually the design of the chip. The design of system, logic and performance is transformed into a specific physical layout, which includes chip specification formulation, logic design, layout planning, performance design, circuit simulation, layout and routing, layout verification, etc..."

"Circuit design of chips is inseparable from basic chip design software and core chip architecture. Chip design software is easy to understand. It is software specifically used to design chips. It is highly efficient and professional. This software is called EDA software. Without this, chip design would be difficult to achieve. So EDA software, which seems to have an output value of only a few billion dollars, dominates the development of the global semiconductor industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars. EDA manufacturers are mainly based in Bald Eagle, and the top three in the industry are Synopsys and Cadence and Mentor Graphics companies occupy more than 60% of the market share..."

"Having talked about so many foreign situations, let me tell you about the domestic situation. As for the EDA software manufacturers just now, there are actually domestic ones, but they only account for a few tenths of a percent of the global market share, and their product lines only account for integrated circuit design. It’s about a quarter of the entire set of software required…”

"Don't be discouraged after hearing this. The gap is indeed huge, but you must also see how many opportunities are hidden under this huge gap."

"You are all graduate students, and you can understand the importance of the semiconductor industry. The country cannot watch this situation develop, so it will definitely support the country. This is a huge opportunity. If you are confident, you can invest in it. Once it succeeds and the market share is huge, I won’t say more..."

……

The professor on the stage spoke in simple terms and knew all kinds of data very well. He not only analyzed the gap between domestic and foreign countries, but also poured chicken soup for the students below from time to time.

The reason why I didn’t describe it in a big way is because Wang Donglai knew that what the professor said was right. Although the domestic semiconductor industry is stuck, it has indeed been developing. If the people here choose this industry, it will not be bad. .

It’s just that you may not be able to make money as quickly as a 996 programmer at a major Internet company.

While listening to the professor on the stage, Wang Donglai compared and analyzed the situation with what he knew, his brows furrowed, and a look of thought appeared on his face.

Regarding chips, Wang Donglai has never started to do anything, because he knows that the situation here is quite complicated, and the industrial chains involved are numerous and intensive. Moreover, it is not labor-intensive, but an industry with high technology and high talents.

No matter how powerful Wang Donglai is, no matter how talented he is, even if he proves a few more world-class mathematical problems, he still cannot optimize all the processes in the entire chip manufacturing system by himself.

No, actually he can.

As long as he has enough points, he can still do it.

However, I am afraid that the world will not accept such a perversion. He still needs to take it step by step, at most at a faster pace.

It is not possible to take out a room full of information and technology overnight and say that through hard thinking, he has made epoch-making breakthroughs in chips and semiconductors, avoiding Western patent restrictions and technical restrictions.

In that case, I'm afraid everyone will think that they are not normal people.

Being half a step ahead is a talent, being one step ahead is a genius, being a few hundred meters ahead is incomprehensible. With this thought in his mind, Wang Donglai suddenly thought of the new mobile phone released by Warwick before he traveled through time. No one knew where their chips came from.

There is even a confident speculation leaked on the Internet.

If you can't make a photolithography machine, that's because you want to export the photolithography machine as a product to make money, so you need to downsize it.

Then I will just give up the export, go directly to the giant, use a ring accelerator with a circumference of 100 meters to 150 meters as the light source, and then drive multiple, or even dozens of lithography machines to work.

This statement sounded reasonable at first, but now Wang Donglai knew that things couldn't really be that simple.

Even if this concept really works, it would be based on the concept of a large device, similar to the way a factory production line works. The photolithography process is performed in a large workshop without having to put all the equipment parts together. High theoretical foundation, creativity and design ability.

The more he thought about it, the brighter Wang Donglai's eyes became.

No matter how it develops, modern technology cannot do without chips. Only more advanced chips can improve performance. If artificial intelligence wants to make a breakthrough, the importance of chips becomes unparalleled.

While Wang Donglai was thinking, Professor Hao on the stage was actually paying attention to Wang Donglai.

After all, in the Tangdu university circle, no one knows Wang Donglai from Tangdu Jiaotong University, let alone Professor Hao on the stage.

At this moment, Professor Hao couldn't help but feel curious when he saw Wang Donglai suddenly enlightened and happy after listening to what he said carefully.

What on earth did Wang Donglai think of?
  At the end of the lecture, Professor Hao specifically called on a few students to answer a few questions. Seeing that Wang Donglai did not raise his hand to ask questions, Professor Hao took the initiative to name Wang Donglai and said, "Student Wang Donglai, your expression seems to be... What have you thought of? Do you have any questions?"

Wang Donglai did not expect that Professor Hao on the stage would take the initiative to mention his name. After reacting, he felt the envious expressions coming from the front and left, and was a little confused, but he did not hesitate and asked directly: "Professor, I want to I would like to ask if it is possible to expand the traditional photolithography machine technology and use its functions in the same way as a factory production line, and how much money would it cost?"

Professor Hao was stunned when he heard this question. He didn't expect him to ask this question.

"Well, the expansion of photolithography machine technology you mentioned has not been studied in China, but from a technical perspective, it is unlikely to be realized, because the development and etching of the chip require fine-tuning of the beam, and the mode of the factory production line To deal with it, it is very difficult from a theoretical point of view.”

"I haven't done much research in this area, but I think this is a topic of great scientific research value. If you are interested, you can apply for projects in this area later."

Professor Hao did not hesitate, but gave his own suggestions.

Because, in his heart, Wang Donglai's talent is extremely powerful, and he is definitely the strongest student at Tangdu Jiaotong University in so many years. Proving the ABC guess shows his mathematical talent, and the previous SCI paper is proof. Wang Donglai also has considerable talent in computers. Coupled with the news he just received, it shows that Wang Donglai is not an ordinary genius, but an all-rounder who has multiple fields and can create miracles.

Therefore, Professor Hao made suggestions to Wang Donglai to apply for the project.

If Wang Donglai really makes a breakthrough in domestic semiconductors, it will be a great thing for him personally and for China.

"Thank you for the guidance, professor!"

Although he did not get any useful information from Professor Hao, he achieved his goal.

Throw out the concept of huge photolithography machines!
  When I actually study it in the future, it will become traceable.

Although it is not necessary to do this, it is not difficult to prepare a little more, that is, to say one more sentence.

After the lecture, Wang Donglai was about to leave, but was unexpectedly stopped by Professor Hao.

"Classmate Wang Donglai, I think you seem to be quite interested in semiconductors. Do you have any ideas?"

Professor Hao walked up to Wang Donglai, walked out together, and asked.

"As the professor just said, I think the semiconductor industry is very important and has great prospects. It will definitely be a key industry that will be competed and suppressed by major powers in the future."

Although Wang Donglai didn't know why Professor Hao took the initiative to ask him, he still gave his answer.

"Well, our country's foundation in this area is very weak. It's not an easy task to catch up. If you really want to do something in this industry, you have to be willing to sit on the bench."

"However, if you have this idea, I think it's a good idea and you should support it. So, which area are you going to choose for your master's degree? If you don't want to study mathematics and want to develop semiconductors, why not come to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and take the test? As a graduate student, how about I apply for the program you just mentioned?"

Professor Hao turned his head seriously and said to Wang Donglai.

Hearing Professor Hao's words, Wang Donglai was stunned and said subconsciously: "Professor Hao, this is inappropriate. Our school has..."

"I know that in your school, Lao Zheng and Lao Xu value you very much, but if you want to study semiconductors, Lao Xu is not suitable. Lao Zheng is actually fine, but he is your principal and I am afraid he doesn't have time to take care of you. I am different. , I happen to have time, so you call HKUST and study for a Ph.D. with me, which is exactly what you want."

Professor Hao waved his hand, and his words did not show much respect for the two presidents of Tangdu Jiaotong University, but rather seemed to be an attitude among peers.

"May I ask who you are, Professor?" Wang Donglai vaguely felt that Professor Hao's identity was extraordinary, so he asked.

"I'm still a professor for the time being, and my other identity is the president of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. How about it? Do you have any ideas about coming over? I'll let your principal know when the time comes. It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, your studies are the priority."

As soon as Professor Hao said these words, Wang Donglai immediately knew Professor Hao's identity.

I am still a professor for the time being, doesn’t that mean I will be promoted to an academician?
  The president of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China wanted me to study for his graduate and doctoral studies. No wonder many people in the classroom looked at me with envy.

In an instant, Wang Donglai understood everything.

"President Hao, I haven't thought about the arrangements for graduate students yet. I'll tell you after I think about it clearly."

Wang Donglai didn't want to refuse directly, but he also didn't want to just agree, so he resorted to procrastination.

Since he had already skipped three years of undergraduate study, he did not want to study for another three years as a graduate student. He even wanted to skip graduate school and go to a Ph.D.

However, he has not revealed this idea yet, and everything will have to wait until the end of his undergraduate degree.

"Hey, you kid, I don't like anyone else who wants to come. If you're still here pushing back and forth, aren't you afraid that when you think it through, I won't have your place here?" Principal Hao said angrily.

As the president of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Wang Donglai really did not expect that he would come to the Graduate School of Tangdu Jiaotong University to give a lecture.

It’s even a little incredible!

However, after hearing Hao Tao's words, Wang Donglai smiled and did not answer.

"Forget it, since you have no idea, don't force it, but if you have any questions later, you can come to me."

With that said, Hao Tao exchanged contact information with Wang Donglai and then left.

Wang Donglai was also a little dreamy. He never thought that he would encounter such a thing just by coming to listen to a lecture.

Just when he was sighing, Hanhua called.

As soon as the call was connected, Han Hua's slightly shocked and helpless voice asked him to go find him.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Donglai thought about it and roughly guessed what happened. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, looking quite happy.
