I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

Throughout July, Yan Jiefang stayed in Jiangcheng to handle matters related to the wafer fab.

The foundry for computer processors has added four 0.18-micron production lines and two 130-nanometer production lines.

These six production lines were not mature when they were overseas, so he needed to personally guide their improvement and debugging here.

In particular, the two 0.13-micron production lines require adjustments in multiple areas.

Currently, none of the three wafer fabs under his control have top experts in this field.

Even among those dozens of engineers, their skill level was only average; none of them were truly capable of leading the charge.

There was no other way but for him to take charge of the work himself.

On the other hand, HUST also showed great interest in Hengyao Microelectronics Co., Ltd.'s visit to discuss the "targeted talent training program".

Hengyao Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is a leading microelectronics company in China and even the world. Regardless of its reputation nationwide, it is absolutely famous in the Jiangcheng area.

If we can collaborate with such companies in the field of computers, the improvement effect on the school's School of Computer Science and Technology will be absolutely significant.

Moreover, the boss of this company is the pioneer who developed a pure Chinese programming language!

The book "Chinese Programming from Beginner to Expert" has become the textbook for programming in all universities in China.

It is regarded as a guiding principle by many computer experts both at home and abroad.

There are even many foreign computer experts who specifically learn Chinese in order to learn this technology!

We all witnessed the recent cyber virus incident that happened overseas.

That incident alone demonstrates the greatness of the Chinese operating system.

That is something that even systems like Win98 and Mac OS find difficult to defeat.

It would be great if we could invite that person to the school to give a lecture to the students.

Unfortunately, that old ancestor was rarely seen, and almost no one knew where he was.

When both parties are willing, a "targeted talent development program" can be easily established.

Hengyao Microelectronics Co., Ltd. has pledged to provide RMB 200 million annually to the School of Computer Science and Technology at South China University of Technology to establish special scholarships, teaching awards, and student grants to attract and motivate outstanding students.

The company will invest over 1000 million yuan at one time to jointly build a state-of-the-art microelectronics R&D center with the university.

The company has also set up an internship and training base specifically for this program, and welcomes students to start their internships in advance.

In addition, the company will select experienced engineers or technical experts to serve as corporate mentors for students, participating in course teaching, project guidance, or giving special lectures.

Bringing cutting-edge industry technologies and practical experience into the classroom.

The extravagant spending of Hengyao Microelectronics Co., Ltd. was "accidentally" exposed, shocking all universities in China.

Leaders of many universities, including those in Dandong, are lamenting: Why don't we have similar companies engaging in academic collaborations of this scale with our schools?

Even if the investment is halved, that's fine!

When the leaders of the Special Economic Zone University saw the scene in Jiangcheng, they couldn't help but think: Isn't Hengyao Microelectronics Co., Ltd. the same company as our wafer fab?

If South China University of Technology can cooperate with companies in Jiangcheng, then we can cooperate too!

So they sent professors from the Department of Computer Science and Technology to the wafer foundry to discuss cooperation.

Yan Xueqian, who had just been promoted to professional Go 9-dan, personally met with these teachers.

In fact, the two sides had collaborated several times before and could be considered old friends.

However, as the wafer fabs continued to make progress, the university in the special economic zone could not keep up, and the subsequent exchanges decreased significantly.

This university is naturally incomparable to South China University of Technology; they have only developed faster because they are located in the special economic zone.

However, due to its weak foundation, even rapid development will take time.

After consulting with Yan Jiefang, Yan Xueqian finally agreed to the cooperation plan.

Of course, universities in the Special Administrative Region don't receive as much support as South China University of Technology.

The company here has pledged to provide HK$50 annually to the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Hong Kong to establish special scholarships, teaching awards, and bursaries.

Other collaborations are similar to those with South China University of Technology, only on a much smaller scale.

Nevertheless, the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Hong Kong is very pleased.

After all, the quality of their students cannot compare with that of South China University of Technology.

Moreover, one is the Department of Computer Science and Technology and the other is the School of Computer Science and Technology; the difference of just one word means they are not the same size.

There is also a significant gap in the quality of teaching staff.

...

While dealing with matters at the wafer fab, Yan Jiefang also kept an eye on the development of the automobile factory and the polysilicon plant in Luoyang.

Regarding the military off-road vehicles, after setting the tone with their comrades in the military, they had already designed the blueprints and had them produced by the factory. Currently, they are also undergoing various tests.

He also specially designed a 6.0-liter turbocharged diesel V8 engine for this off-road vehicle.

This engine can provide military off-road vehicles with very strong mobility.

The engine outputs a maximum power of 500 horsepower when the engine speed reaches 2800 rpm.

It reaches its peak torque of 1400 Nm at 1600 rpm.

Even the 6.6-liter V8 engine of the US military Humvee is hard to compare with it.

This data is already close to the limits of current physical laws. To achieve even higher performance, we can only wait until the device is converted to an electric one.

The testing of the other two cars, Tian Shu and Tian Xuan, is also nearing its end.

In terms of extreme heat and extreme cold, we conducted rigorous tests in Mohe, Heilongjiang, and the Taklamakan Desert last winter and this June and July, respectively.

The result was, of course, excellent; they had long since left the required passing score far behind.

Yan Jiefang was busy with other matters and didn't have time to attend either of the two tests, so he missed them.

They were all led by the brothers Yan Xueheng and Yan Xueyuan.

Currently, only one million kilometers of road testing remain to be completed.

According to the third brother, he will definitely finish the race before December this year.

The new cars are already in mass production and will officially go on sale on New Year's Day 2000!

After several years of development, the polysilicon plant in Luoyang has long since established itself and is growing in scale.

While meeting the needs of its own three wafer fabs, it can also provide some surplus capacity for other competitors.

Furthermore, the technology there is also making steady progress under Yan Jiefang's guidance.

It is estimated that in another two or three years, we will be able to try producing polycrystalline silicon materials for 12-inch wafers.
