The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

The mid-year party group meeting was held smoothly.

Liu Tao personally presided over the meeting and delivered an important speech.

Of course, the Party Committee meetings are orderly and disciplined.

This is a framework, and no one dares to touch the framework. For example, making loud noises, quarreling or even fighting are impossible to happen in a party group meeting.

You can raise any opinions you have and keep them to yourself, they will be recorded.

But if it involves personal attacks or the use of violence, then it is not allowed. The Disciplinary Committee will maintain the discipline of the entire Party Group meeting.

The entire Party Committee meeting lasted for seven days and finally ended with a group photo.

Some of the relevant meeting information will be announced to the public, while others will not. Only members of the Party Committee and other participants and the group will receive the relevant documents.

After the party group meeting, Liu Tao went to Sichuan.

Sichuan and Shu have had a huge connection with Panshan Group since the 80s. Over the years, Panshan Group has been the main force of investment in Sichuan and Shu.

Panshan Group is the largest and most powerful engine for the development of the entire southwest.

Panshan Group has a tank and armor production base here, which is the largest tank and armor production base in the country. In Mianyang, there is a super-large military industrial base that specializes in producing various types of firearms, bullets, shells and other military products. In Chengdu, a super-large military industrial base is also being built.

In addition, Panshan Group has also built production bases for large military transport trucks, all-terrain military off-road vehicles, as well as helicopter production plants, military transport aircraft manufacturing plants, etc. in Sichuan.

At the same time, there are a large number of civilian manufacturing plants here.

Not to mention, Panshan Group has invested heavily in the construction of reservoirs and hydropower stations in Sichuan.

These investments have greatly boosted Sichuan's economic development, making Sichuan a completely different world now than it was before the reform.

It is precisely because of this connection and development that Sichuan's continuous reform is promoted.

In the central and western regions, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shancheng and Guizhou provinces have the greatest reform efforts and progress, and the biggest driving force here is Panshan Group.

When Liu Tao came to Chengdu, Sichuan and Shu, the leaders of Sichuan and Shu personally welcomed him.

Liu Tao came this time to participate in the large-scale production of 45nm process chips.

In 2004, it was still the first year of 90nm, but now the top chips are already 45nm, and some particularly advanced ones use the 32nm process for small-scale production.

For example, the Kirin chip used in Kirin mobile phones adopts a 45nm process.

It can be said that the development of chips is very fast. It is very difficult for latecomers to catch up, because in this field, it is a winner-takes-all situation.

In chip research and development, huge amounts of money were invested only to find that the chips developed were far behind the world's mainstream chips. This is absolutely despairing, as the huge investment was wasted.

In recent years, there are countries that want to develop chips and overtake others in the chip field.

But there are a lot of problems, such as lithography machines, photoresists, etc.
Not to mention, even after solving these problems, you still have to face market problems. What’s the use if you have chips but the market doesn’t buy them?

For example, South Korea has invested heavily and just developed a 130nm chip manufacturing process to produce processors for Samsung computers and Samsung mobile phones. However, the Kirin mobile phone chip is made with a 45nm process. The performance difference between the two is not small, not to mention that the Kirin mobile phone is a smart phone, which directly hits other mobile phones into semi-smart phones or traditional phones, creating two different worlds. This means that except for relying on protection policies to sell in South Korea, it is impossible to sell in the international market.

Now, China's chips not only have technological advantages, but also absolute advantages in scale, not to mention market advantages.

As China Automobile began to integrate some functions into a display screen, the entire system was common with the mobile phone system, and the demand for advanced chips grew massively.

This will inevitably require the production of more 45nm chips, and even the subsequent production of more advanced 32nm process chips.

Liu Tao personally attended the large-scale production of 45nm chips in this factory, which is enough to show his emphasis on chip development.

Chips are small, but they are everywhere.

It is used in people’s daily lives in mobile phones, computers, televisions, home appliances, etc., and is the core cornerstone of high-end manufacturing.

The manufacturing process of chips is very complicated. Single crystal silicon is produced through thousands of steps and complex processing. It has a wide range of applications. Chips support the information industry just as steel supports the industry.

A chip can be related to all aspects of society. Chips are used in military industry, aerospace, transportation, energy, consumption and other fields.

Integrated chips occupy a vital position in modern science and technology and industry, and their importance and necessity are mainly reflected in several aspects.

First of all, integrated chips are the core components of modern electronic devices. Whether it is computers, mobile phones, tablets, or various electronic devices such as automotive electronics and industrial control, they are inseparable from the support of integrated chips. These chips integrate multiple electronic components and functional modules on a tiny substrate through a highly integrated design, thus realizing the miniaturization, efficiency and intelligence of the equipment.

Secondly, integrated chips are a key factor in promoting the development of science and technology. With the continuous advancement of chip manufacturing technology, computer processing speed, storage capacity and power consumption have been continuously improved, which has promoted the emergence of various new electronic products, such as smart homes, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, etc. These technological breakthroughs have not only changed people's lifestyles, but also promoted social progress and development.

In addition, integrated chips are also an important guarantee for national security and economic development. Chip technology involves information security and network security, and its manufacturing and research and development are important components of national security. At the same time, the chip industry is also the soul of modern industry. It is a strategic, basic and leading industry that guarantees national security and supports economic and social development. The development of the chip industry is of great significance to promoting industrial digitalization, digital industrialization, and enhancing the country's overall economic strength and international competitiveness.

Precisely because chips are so important, and can even be a bottleneck at critical moments, China attaches great importance to the development of chips. The subsidies given each year are very large, and the policy benefits given are also very large.

China is the world's largest chip consumer market and also the largest chip manufacturer. Chips not only meet China's own consumption but are also exported in large quantities.

As for why the export of chips is allowed, firstly, it can make money, and secondly, it is to occupy the chip market, forcing other countries to give up chip research and development and production and directly purchase Chinese chips. (End of this chapter)
