Chapter 138 The Rise of Chips ([-])

Huang Haojie shook his head and said:
"Don't think about power transmission for the time being. At present, the annual output of room temperature superconductors is 400-500 tons, and the cost per ton is about 4000 million Wah, which is equivalent to 4 Wah per kilogram."

"The cost is so high?" Du Wei said in shock.

Su Langwen quickly explained: "The electricity bill alone is about 150 billion Chinese yuan a year, plus other consumables and equipment maintenance, the annual cost is about 180 billion Chinese yuan."

grunt!Wang Bosi and others couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"In addition, we need to share the construction cost of the X-ray base. In fact, the cost should be 6 Chinese yuan per kilogram." Su Langwen continued.

"The cost is really a bit high."

"It seems that there is really no need to think about power transmission."

"Even the country can't afford it. Such a cost is simply overkill for power transmission."

Of course, Huang Haojie has no plans to use room temperature superconductors for power transmission for the time being.

"Du Wei, you are now starting to design superconducting supercomputing chips."

"No problem. If the circuit material is replaced with a superconductor, we can modify it from the previous supercomputing chip. Give me a month, and Star Map will definitely come up with a complete superconducting supercomputing chip solution." Du Slightly nodded and promised.

"Dr. Zhang, you Xinghe Semiconductor, cooperate with Xingtu Company."

"Yes, it is my honor to witness the birth of a superconducting chip." Zhang Rujing never imagined that he could see the birth and application of room temperature superconductors in his lifetime.

"Yongdong, your neutron star, is responsible for purifying the iron-silver alloy. Purify the iron-silver alloy as much as possible, because this is related to the service life of the room temperature superconductor."

"No problem, I will do my best." Huang Yongdong nodded quickly.

"Bosi, you are in charge of the overall situation, we want to make Galaxy Technology even greater." Huang Haojie laughed loudly.

"Yes, it is our honor to be able to create history." Wang Bosi nodded in agreement.

Following Huang Junjie's arrangement, the entire Xinghe Group was running wildly.

……

Zhuge Sansheng was at a loss when he received Huang Junjie's order.

Acquisition of silver? And it is still as high as 50 billion Chinese yuan?
Huang Haojie didn't explain too much, he just said that silver will soon become an important industrial raw material for Galaxy Technology, and it will need to be used in large quantities in the future.

Not only does the Mars Group need to acquire a large amount, but it also needs to find some silver mines for acquisition, mine and store them in large quantities.

Although he didn't know why Huang Haojie valued Baiyin so much, he knew that Huang Haojie's order must be carried out, and Zhuge Sansheng quickly called several leaders of the group over.

"What is the approximate price of silver this year?"

Hearing this question, the person in charge of the market research department quickly said:

"President, the current silver price is between 3.76 and 3.85 Chinese yuan per gram."

"You immediately study a plan to purchase 50 billion yuan of silver from international silver producers." Zhuge Sansheng said straight to the point, and then he added:
"It is to purchase 50 billion Chinese yuan within this year."

Purchasing 50 billion Chinese yuan of silver within a year? According to the current price, it is equivalent to more than 1300 tons of silver.

Even if it is investing in precious metals, it doesn't need to be on a large scale, right? Several people in charge looked at each other in blank dismay.

But Zhuge Sansheng didn't explain his intentions to them, but Huang Haojie confessed that he would enter the village quietly and not shoot anyone.

"President, this may cause the international silver price to rise." The person in charge of the market research department reminded.

"I know, but this is the group's grand strategy and it must be implemented. You should complete the procurement plan as soon as possible." Zhuge Sansheng ordered straightforwardly.

"OK then."

Several persons in charge can only take over this task.

……

Haicheng County, HiSilicon chip factory.

Yu Mingguang and others are inside the factory.

Five 5nm production lines have been debugged by Xinghe Precision Instrument Company.

These five production lines were leased to them by the Galaxy Group, and they are now ready for use.

Next to Yu Mingguang is Zhang Guozhong, the president of HiSilicon, and Ma Chang, the vice president of supervision assigned by Galaxy Group to HiSilicon.

After more than half a year of revisions, HiSilicon has finally completed the design of the 5nm Kirin 1000 chip.

Half a month ago, the design plan was handed over to Galaxy Semiconductor for original chip printing. Of course, there is a fee for this. The cost of marking a 5-nanometer chip is 100 million yuan for a layer of circuit.

The Kirin 1000 chip has a total of 45 layers of circuits, so the marking cost is 4500 million Chinese yuan.

Watching the production line running fast, square wafers were fed into the circuit printing machine.

The Kirin 1000 chip designed by HiSilicon this time is expected to have a computing speed of 400 billion operations per second, reduce energy consumption by 60%, and reduce chip heat generation by 80%.

"Mr. Ma, the efficiency of your production line has improved a lot!" Yu Mingguang knew that the annual output of the original chip production line was only about 2300 million.

Now it has increased to an annual output of 4300 million pieces.

"Keep pace with the times! We can't rest on our laurels! Haha!" Ma Chang replied with a smile.

"Haha, it's good to keep pace with the times!" Yu Mingguang certainly welcomes Galaxy Group to continue to improve the production line.

After all, a production line requires a rent of 1 million Chinese yuan a year. The higher the annual output, the lower the cost allocated to each chip.

In fact, the current production cost of the Kirin 1000 chip is about 80 yuan a piece. Of course, most of the cost is actually the profit of Galaxy Technology, and the real cost is about 15 yuan a piece.

Even so, spending is still profitable, and the profit is very large.

"By the way, Mr. Ma, let's discuss and discuss, how about allocating more production lines to HiSilicon?" Yu Mingguang asked in a low voice.

"Uh... the distribution of the production line requires Mr. Wang's nod, and it's useless for me to say so." Ma Changtan expressed his powerlessness.

"You know the current situation, Mr. Ma. This production line produces more than 2 million chips a year, which is not enough!" Yu Mingguang complained.

"Don't worry! Mr. Yu, six or seven more production lines should be allocated by the end of the year. In addition, Xinghe Precision Instrument Co., Ltd. is already planning to expand production. It is expected that the production line output will double next year." Ma Chang can only pick the good ones. said.

"Next year? It seems that we need to discuss with BGI and ask them to help with the OEM part." Yu Mingguang rubbed his chin and thought.

The reason for looking for Huada Semiconductor is mainly because Huada Semiconductor is assigned the most production lines, currently there are eight production lines.

Moreover, Tsinghua Unigroup is desperately producing storage chips and low-end mobile phone chips, and there is no extra production capacity to spend.

After more than six hours.

The first batch of Kirin 1000 chips has finally rolled off the production line.

"Quick, check it out." Yu Mingguang was both excited and nervous.

Soon the packaging and testing department will test the data and test it out.

The finished product rate is 100%, the excellent product rate is 81.3%, the good product rate is 17.4%, and the defective product rate is 1.3%.

The peak computing speed of the chip is 461 billion times per second, and the average value is 423 billion times per second.

The unit energy consumption decreased by 64%, and the unit heat generation decreased by 82%.

"Haha, good, very good!" Yu Mingguang became ecstatic.

With this data, the Kirin chip beats Qualcomm Snapdragon, Sanxin, and Sydney.

Almost ten times the performance, now Yu Mingguang just wants to say: I want to play ten!
He couldn't wait to develop a press conference to pretend to be aggressive, and he was a little excited just thinking about it.
