One Thousand Three Hundred and One Catastrophe?

To be honest, Fang Zilu was very surprised when she received a call from President Yu, especially since President Yu asked her to come to Bincheng as soon as possible.

She is the well-known chip queen in Company H, and she has been in charge of the research and development of Kirin chips before.

It can be said that H Company's Kirin chip can develop to today, and she is definitely responsible for it.

But recently, she has felt extremely tired, and it is true that it is because of the ban by the United States.

On the surface, Company H seems to be calm about the blockade by the United States, but in fact they are struggling.

Now the international blockade against them has been further escalated, not only can they not get the products and technologies that the company of M country gave to company H.

Even their other electronic industry companies around the world, especially companies that use products and technologies from country M, are not allowed to supply company H.

This made H company very uncomfortable, after all, it could get some supplies through other channels before.

But now they can't even take the bend, such a day is really too sad for them.

Don't look at Sansang's claim to the outside world that they independently own the entire industry chain technology of mobile phone manufacturing.

But actually? If it weren't for the technical support from country M, how could they have developed to where they are today?

Even Japanese electronics companies, which claim to be world-leading in many technologies, dare not speak out at this time. After all, many of their technologies and equipment also come from country M in the final analysis.

Therefore, the current company H can only face two paths, one is to admit defeat as a bachelor and withdraw from the mobile phone field, and at the same time completely admit defeat in the 5G field.

Otherwise, you can only choose another path, which is to fight hard with those international giants, and then break the situation all by yourself.

In fact, within Company H, there must be a large number of people who are more inclined to the previous path.

But the reality is, that road simply cannot go.

So they can only bite the bullet and go the second way.

But the road they want to take is destined to be full of thorns, and judging from the current situation, it can be said that everything on this road depends on themselves.

In the past, they only did chip design,

Now they even have to do their own chip production.

This is really too difficult. After all, producing chips is not an easy task. Spending money on it for more than ten or twenty years may not yield results.

As the chip queen, one of the company's elders, Mr. Fang has been under a lot of pressure recently.

In fact, long before Tejiji announced that it would cut off the supply of chips to Company H, the company had held several consecutive meetings to discuss countermeasures.

At that time, the company's bosses said the most during the meeting, that is, they regretted that they did not arrange hardware production at the beginning.

It's too late to start over now.

But now even if they want to catch up from scratch, they still face many problems.

First of all, there are external technical limitations. For example, in countries that have lithography machines, they will not sell you the best lithography machines.

Even if you have money, don't sell it...

The second is that if you want to produce by yourself, you will face the problem of overlapping industries.

Do you think there are already several such enterprises in China? You are coming in to do it, and this is a waste.

After all, chip production is an industry with a high concentration of capital and wisdom, and there are only so many domestic resources in this area.

Other companies are already doing it, and if Company H joins in, it will definitely affect the resource allocation issue.

For example, if you want to poach people from other companies, it will definitely attract dissatisfaction from other companies and so on.

So during that time, Company H was also worried, but failed to take any practical actions.

During that time, Mr. Fang, it can be said that he held meetings every day, finished with his superiors, and then held meetings with his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

Anyway, she didn't have a very comfortable life in the whole last year.

And this year, sure enough, the boot they had been worrying about fell to the ground.

Sanctions from abroad continued to increase, and Teji couldn't hold it anymore, so he could only nod to express that he would no longer supply company H.

As a result, H Company fell into the end of running out of ammunition and food.

Fortunately, they also prepared a certain amount of stock for their previous orders.

But sooner or later, the inventory will run out. According to Mr. Yu's previous meeting, their mobile phone sales department will try their best to follow suit.

But they can give the R&D department at most, and they are striving for two years of events.

After two years, if the chip department and the R&D department really can no longer come up with suitable chips.

Then their H company's mobile phone will really withdraw from the market.

This made Mr. Fang feel a little more pressure on her body. During this time, she worked an average of 16 hours a day.

Sometimes she even simply sleeps in the company. As a strong woman, she has always insisted on charging on the front line.

And they finally made a series of measures, such as starting to directly poach people from those domestic chip factories.

Because they can no longer hand over their fate to others, even if these people are allies.

No, I can't wait any longer, I really have to do it myself.

And it has already been said above that they will give her maximum support, knowing that the department she is in charge of may not achieve results within ten or even twenty years.

However, the bosses at the top of the company still said that they will definitely give her the greatest support, and hope that she can lead the team to bring the company's wolf culture to the extreme, and strive to solve the chip problem in the fastest time.

Recently, President Fang is in retreat, and she has organized a meeting of her employees for a month.

The key that everyone has been discussing is the direction of future chip development.

At present, the mainstream chip process on the market is 7nm, while TSMC's most advanced chip process has reached 5nm, and Samsung has also announced that it will enter 3nm and 2nm.

At present, the best chip companies in China have a process that has broken through 14nm, but the yield rate is only 25%.

However, it is still two generations away from the world's top 5nm, 10nm and 7nm technologies.

And at present, in terms of lithography machines, we have been stuck by the ASML of the Netherlands.

The problem now is that even if we have money, people will not sell it to us.

The actual situation is that even if the Dutch wanted to sell, they would not dare, because the real major shareholder behind ASML is actually the world's most powerful country.

If the number one in the world does not nod, the Dutch will never dare to sell us the lithography machine.

So the problem now is that if we want to make the best chips, we need better lithography machines.

But this area has always been our shortcoming. At present, the precision of domestically-made lithography machines can only reach 28nm, which is still far behind the world's top-level standards.

So the problem they have to face now is how to solve the problem of lithography machines.

If H company starts manufacturing lithography machines now, it may take decades, but the problem is that when you are developing lithography machines, they will continue to update and iterate.

So you can only follow all the way behind your butt, which will make you never catch up with others.

In addition, according to Moore's Law, the limit of silicon chips may be 1nm.

Even if they follow up in the next few decades and reach the limit of 1nm, they may have already transferred in and started to develop other types of chips.

Therefore, regarding their chip department, what direction to choose in the future has been debated fiercely recently.

There is also the chip design department, and now they are having a headache because the Americans have banned all the tools they use.

It turns out that if they want to design chips, they must use the world's number one design tool EDA, but now they have banned all your design tools.

This greatly delayed the progress of the chip design. Mr. Fang had already ordered everyone to wait and give up the next generation of chip design work for the time being.

Turn around and start developing tools. Although this is not easy, at least it is not as big as the hardware gap.

Recently, in the collision of various brainstorms, some people finally came up with a few good ideas.

That is, since they may not be able to use the top-level chips for a period of time in the future, they might as well tap the potential of the original chips.

For example, redesign the previous 970, 980, and 990 chips.

Then add plug-ins to these chips and add artificial intelligence programs to enhance the computing power of these chips.

In this way, the volume may not be comparable to those single main chips, but the performance may be improved.

At least it won't be pulled too far, the only flaw may be the lack of heat dissipation and energy consumption.

But these problems can be solved by increasing the battery capacity and improving the heat dissipation hardware design.

And this direction has become the mainstream direction of their research recently.

Recently, Mr. Fang has been coordinating the division of labor within the department, so when he received a call from Mr. Yu, he was really surprised.

The meaning of Mr. Yu calling her is very simple: "I have a plan to break the situation, come quickly!"

At the beginning, when Mr. Yu said this, Mr. Fang naturally didn't believe it. She even thought that her old partner was confused.

But when she heard the uncontrollable trembling of Yu Zong's voice, she suddenly believed it.

Regarding Mr. Yu's personality, Mr. Fang still knows well. Don't look at this guy who often shoots cannons at press conferences, and is even often ridiculed by domestic consumers.

But the problem is that this guy's most famous deed is that although he has fired cannons at the press conference many times, in the end all the cannons he fired have become reality one by one.

This is the place where consumers are most willing to give him a thumbs up, and even many people in the company are convinced by this boss.

Now he called himself and said that there was a way to break the situation, so Mr. Fang had to believe it.

So she immediately asked her assistant to book a flight ticket to Bencheng...

Regardless of whether the solution Mr. Yu said was true or not, she decided to go and see for herself.

And she firmly believed that with the eyes of her old partner, she would not be wrong and fool herself.

She even couldn't wait for the way she always said to break the situation, after all, it's really too difficult for her now...
