Passion, passion for scientific research!
At this time, what is the original intention of moving towards the path of scientific research is actually no longer important.
Qiao Yu didn't say anything big.
But for individuals, fame and fortune are the most basic driving forces.
If they weren't pursuing the future, these people wouldn't have spent so much effort to apply for Qiao Yu's project.
Just by passing the level of registration in the unit, you have to pass five levels and six generals, and then you have to take the exam. Many people are even afraid that they won’t be able to choose, so they have found a special relationship.
After so much effort, I naturally had their own ideas when I joined the project team. Not to mention that everyone is the same, but most of the original intentions are still for their future development.
It is naturally the best thing to realize your own value while gaining recognition from the country and Daming.
Although Qiao Yu did not mention it, they certainly knew how much resources would be needed to design a consumer-grade computer that could be directly targeted at the market as Qiao Yu said.
But in fact, everyone doesn't care much about these things. Qiao Yu probably didn't expect that these people under him might believe in his ability to obtain resources more than he himself.
This cognitive deviation mainly comes from the two sides' completely different views on the Fields Medal.
For Qiao Yu, he only felt that it was too easy to win the Fields Medal. He just regarded that medal as a very ordinary honor.
If it is necessary to compare, it is probably similar to the honorary titles of high school students who regard provincial three-good students.
But for these people who have been with the academic community for half their lives, they know very well that the Fields Medal or the Nobel Prize have never been as simple as an honor.
Especially in the few years after they won the award, they have never heard of the big guys who just won the world's top science awards that cannot invest in anything they want.
Not to mention that Qiao Yu is not only young, with great investment value, but also famously has high output and high efficiency. Recently, he has just made the opponent's technology companies and the entire financial field unable to rise.
It is no exaggeration to say that at least in the eyes of these professors who follow Qiao Yu to do projects, if Qiao Yu wants to do something and still can't get enough investment, it's unreasonable.
The most important question in reality is that you are not afraid of foreign high-tech companies and financial groups coming to poach people?!
Not to mention that China has its own advantages.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the most basic power generation in the world, no country can compare with China.
Coincidentally, from Qiao Yu's speech, we can see that the future general quantum computer he constructed will be a form of combining local computing power with cloud computing power.
Tasks that can be done by classical operations and simple quantum operations are completed directly locally. Complex quantum computing tasks must be handed over to the quantum cloud platform to complete.
If a general-purpose computer is playing like this, it means that enough quantum simulated cloud computer rooms must be deployed in various places to bring consumers a good enough experience.
As we all know, this type of large computer room has always been a big power-consuming user. Therefore, it is very suitable for popularization in China first and then promotion to the outside world.
This seems to be true.
When Zheng Xiwen submitted the report, no one dared to neglect it. He quickly submitted it to the Ministry of Science and Technology for a demonstration, and then went to the Ministry of Commerce to start a survey.
Soon the news spread in the technology community. Of course, this large-scale R&D bidding product cannot be completely kept confidential. No one intends to keep it confidential.
The competition between technology and technology on the east and west sides has actually begun to play the clear card. If you want an advantage, then spend money together.
Just like the original Planet Plan, in the end, it was nothing more than who had a strong family background. As for those who lost, they could only play their own.
There are indeed many companies that are interested in. They are all hardware, software, state-owned, and purely private. Of course, they are all big companies.
This was also expected by Qiao Yu.
Really, he is really optimistic about this project. If it weren't for considering that such a large project is not something that a small company can do, he would have planned to let Xiyu Technology do it itself.
Of course, this project will also have great significance for Xiyu Technology after it is completed.
As Qiao Yu said in the video conference, as long as you participate in this project and have first-hand information in advance, you can make a lot of money even if you do some surrounding business in the future.
For him, there are too many things he can do. Not to mention anything else, quantum simulation computers and new operating systems can really be promoted in the future, and just the development environment provided to developers can make a lot of money.
Of course, these are generally not targeted at individual users.
After all, language development requires commercial compilers, providing more advanced functions, optimization tools and technical support, various plug-ins and extensions, development interfaces and software development toolkits, etc.
In the past, Intel and Microsoft made this money. If quantum analog computers really started to seize the market for classic electronic computers, this part of the money would naturally be made.
If it really develops to that extent, Xiyu Technology can also provide a remote development environment for small startups.
When new technologies come out, the older generation of products can still be processed in open source exchange for various advertising fees and donations...
In short, the American technology companies have long had a complete process for how these basic technologies can make profits, and they can completely squeeze out the value of them. This is all you need to touch the American technology companies to cross the river.
In short, as long as the project is successful, this is a blue ocean that no one has yet to enter. Or in the next trend.
The only problem is that it takes a huge amount of funds to build up this blue ocean.
...
In the Linhai Microelectronics Equipment Headquarters Building, in the General Manager's Office, Deng Maochang was reading this document from the capital word by word.
Not the first time I've watched it.
To be honest, for a company dominated by state-owned assets like Linhai Microelectronics, as the general manager, you often need to not only understand the gains and losses of business, but also understand the attitude.
This is also impossible.
In official terms, they not only have to make profits but also have to bear more social responsibilities. Regardless of reality, from a legal perspective, state-owned assets holding means ownership of the whole people.
So many times, when the above needs to do something from a comprehensive perspective, such companies naturally need to bear more.
Of course, enterprises also have a certain degree of autonomy.
To be honest, for Deng Maochang, he instinctively didn't want to take risks.
At present, the main task of Linhai Microelectronics is the research and development and production of lithography machines. As we all know, China's lithography machine technology is still relatively backward in the international arena, so Linhai Microelectronics' R&D task is actually very heavy.
Now, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Commerce jointly sent a letter to inquire about whether they are willing to participate in the bid for future development of quantum analog chip lithography machines, which made Deng Maochang feel a little confused.
Before my serious lithography machine could be studied, I suddenly arranged a new task? And what the hell is it that I have to bid?
But then again, there are only two companies in China that are capable of developing lithography machines. Apart from Linhai Microelectronics, there is only Daming Laser in Shenzhen.
But one thing is that the opposite company cannot compare with Linhai Microelectronics, whether it is scientific research strength, technical accumulation, or current business size.
After all, this company used to do lasers and only became a monk and entered the field of lithography machines six years ago. Lithography machines are currently a side job.
So Deng Maochang felt that the word "bidding" in the document was worthy of fun. This is also the reason why he would read this document word by word.
There is no way. This position not only needs to consider the company's operation, R&D, and market, but also needs to figure out the meaning of the above.
Simply put, is the boss really trying to promote this?
If you really intend to do this with great fanfare, then just invest it. Even if you fail to do anything in the end, you can't blame him for making a mistake in decision-making.
But if the above is not really trying to do it, or is an ambiguous attitude, I send this document to me just to ask if you think you are interested in it, then he needs to consider it carefully.
If it can be done, it will naturally be a happy thing. But if you put a lot of money into it, you can say that it is not done in the end.
If it is serious, it may even affect his resume. Speaking of which, many people are coveting his position as general manager.
Speaking of which, Deng Maochang, who has a technical background, doesn't mind these things, but he doesn't want to take the blame for such inexplicable mistakes.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"
The knock on the door made Deng Maochang divert his attention from the documents and sang: "Please come in."
Soon the office door was pushed open, and the secretary penetrated halfway: "Mr. Deng, General Manager Xu is here."
"Chief Xu is welcome to come in." He stood up and personally welcomed Chief Xu who was talking to the office.
Deng Maochang still respects this Chief Engineer Xu very much.
Xu Haiwen, who is now a serious big shot in the Chinese lithography machine industry, resolutely gave up his high-paying position abroad during the gap in lithography machine technology and returned to China to take on the responsibility.
Deng Maochang knew that at that time, Linhai Microelectronics did not even have a complete prototype. He could only do research by dismantling equipment that had been eliminated abroad.
At that time, General Manager Xu began to lead the team to do technical public relations bit by bit from basic optics, precision machinery, and control system modules. After more than 20 years of research and development, the current 90nm commercial lithography machine was found.
It can be said that everyone has survived the hard days together. The most important thing is that Xu Haiwen can not only endure loneliness, but stayed in the laboratory for several months, and is very low-key.
Although he has made great contributions, he never thought about fighting for power and profit, and he was even too lazy to accept various publicity.
It can be said that he is a natural laboratory person, and even now he is still keen on staying in the laboratory to lead the team.
"Mr. Deng, what can't you tell me on the phone? You even called me here specifically? You're still busy in the laboratory."
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Haiwen frowned and asked unceremoniously.
Deng Maochang didn't care either. The two had been working together for a long time, and he knew the personality of the chief engineer very well.
"Old Xu, the laboratory is not in a hurry for a while, you are no longer young. Let the young people do a lot of things. Come on, have a cup of tea first."
"I'm asking them to make it, but I have to watch it before I can rest assured. I won't drink tea, I have everything there. Let's talk about it if we have something to save time."
"Okay, then you can take a look at this first." Deng Maochang nodded and handed over the documents on the table.
Xu Haiwen took the document, sat on the sofa and started reading it.
Unlike Deng Maochang's reading word by word, it took only a little over five minutes before the chief engineer put down the file and sighed: "Combined with the development of quantum simulation chips, develop corresponding lithography equipment? I want to overtake on the curve."
"Well... it might be meaningful, right? Do you think you're too anxious? The quantum simulation general-purpose computer mentioned in the file can really replace the status of classic electronic computers?"
Deng Maochang asked directly.
Xu Haiwen was silent for a while, then shook his head and replied directly: "I don't know. I'm older, I'm slower to accept these emerging things than young people.
However, I know this Qiao Yu. I watched his live broadcast not long ago. The quantum simulation technology he proposed does have application prospects.
But this project is too big, and judging by his age, he definitely has no experience in hosting such large-scale engineering projects. But he is the hottest scientist now. So I can't say it."
Deng Maochang knew that Xu Haiwen was either shirking responsibility or simply telling the truth.
No one knows better than their generation of engineers how difficult it is to make something from scratch.
And to be honest, although they do not have physical equipment as references, at least they have various technical parameters of foreign finished products as references.
However, the project proposed by Qiao Yu was first proposed by China, and there are no successful cases found worldwide. It is really a research and development like a blind man touching an elephant.
The only advantage is probably that China is not the relatively poor China that was two thousand years old.
Moreover, in the development of microelectronics, computer science, quantum science, precision machinery and materials science in recent years, we have accumulated a lot of technical capital to support scientific and technological innovation.
"I also think so. I think this is probably why the above wants to ask for our opinions. What do you mean is that we won't join in the fun of this bid?"
Xu Haiwen thought for a moment and replied: "I am not optimistic about this project at all. But considering the time factor, I think I might as well make suggestions.
Let other companies do this. We are still focusing on the research and development of 28nm DUV lithography machines step by step. Even if this project is successful, electronic chips will not be eliminated from the market immediately.
Our project is still useful. If the project eventually goes bankrupt, at least we will not spend too much energy and will not affect the current project progress.
To develop Huaxia Technology, some people must focus on the future, but some people must also do the guaranteed work and focus on the present. Given our historical mission, there is no need to participate in such radical projects for the time being. Of course, this is my personal opinion."
They are all old acquaintances, and Deng Maochang felt a strong feeling of loss from Xu Haiwen's tone.
He felt that he could make up for the subtext that Xu Haiwen didn't say: "If I could be twenty years younger, this could be done."
Chapter completed!
