my return to life

It also includes single apartments living alone, villas for senior engineers, and so on.

If it is placed in a slightly better-developed area of ​​Shanghai, some people will definitely scold it as a prodigal son, because the tallest building is only a 16-storey building.

Even the bachelor apartments are built in a low-rise livable form.

"..."

In the end, under Su Zifeng's leadership, Fang Nian walked into the tallest main building.

Go to the big conference room on the top floor.

The floor-to-ceiling windows in the conference room can overlook the entire industrial park, which will give you a sense of accomplishment, which is why there is this tall building.

Sitting in the center, Fang Nian looked at the many faces around the conference table and smiled slightly: "Excuse me, everyone, thank you for your hard work."

"..."

No one opened their mouths.

Of course, Fang Nian is familiar with such small scenes, and he said unhurriedly: "This time I came to add tasks to everyone, please forgive me."

"..."

Then Fang Nian briefly mentioned the requirements for mobile phone SoC, desktop CPU/GPU, etc., emphasizing the large CPU.

Looking over the heads of the two academicians, Fang Nian glanced at Su Zifeng, and said in an understatement tone.

"The big CPU project can be said to be the most important right now. If the various performance indicators cannot be achieved as soon as possible, the future of this project will be very bleak. All the investment in the early stage will be wasted and it will be put on hold indefinitely."

"Everyone should understand what I mean. This is also the reason why R&D funding has been repeatedly tilted since April."

Su Zifeng quickly took up the conversation: "We will definitely do our best."

"..."

Fang Nian just stopped by and didn't say anything more.

Then he made a gesture: "Tell me about the progress of each project."

"..."

To Fang Nian's surprise, the GPU project in charge of Bai Ze② in Changsha was progressing rapidly.

Su Zifeng's explanation is: because the technical accumulation of powerVR in the field of desktop GPU is actually relatively backward.

The so-called relative backwardness refers to: almost second only to NVIDIA and ATI in desktop GPU... the level of three or four years ago.

And its level in the core unit of mobile graphics processing is commendable, and it is the mainstream choice of most SoCs, whether it is Apple, MediaTek, Samsung, Intel, Zhanrui, etc., have or have used it.

Because Qualcomm has cooperated with ATI, and later cooperated with AMD, which acquired ATI, it has always used its own Adreno series graphics processing core.

Arm also launched the Mali series graphics processing core IP through the acquisition of Mali.

But at present, their comparison target is the SGX series of powerVR.

After nearly half a year of hard work by Guan Qiuhe, Frontier finally obtained the relevant core technology authorization of powerVR...

Then there is a breakthrough in the mobile phone SoC project.

Academician Chen Jianye can finally report the progress with confidence.

"The processing core unit of the mobile phone SoC project has made a certain breakthrough, and finally completed the 64-bit extension of the instruction set architecture with balanced performance and power consumption, which has been incorporated into the large architecture of CB12;

We name it as a whole: Zx64, which means the instruction set and the microarchitecture. "

"..."

Fang Nian: "..."

Zx?

For some reason, Fang Nian immediately thought of Zou Xuan;

Very early... probably more than four years ago, Fang Nian, who had just returned to life, saw the whole page of 'zx' in some of his drafts.

Zou Xuan, who just came to Shanghai some time ago, seems to prefer to use acronyms to represent herself, such as Qingchao.

Oh, she's too rich.

I don't know if Chen Jianye saw Fang Nian's fleeting confusion, and quickly explained the name: "It is taken from the word 'a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step'."

Before Fang Nian could ask, Chen Jianye said again: "However...the result of the simulation verification is only less than 512% ahead of Shenlong 80, and it still has the light of 64 bits."

"The original preset processing performance is three times ahead of Shenlong 512."

Hearing this, Fang Nian realized as soon as he changed his mind, and said, "Academician Chen is worried that he will not be able to significantly lead the A6 follow-up SoC that Apple will release next year before the specified time?"

Chen Jianye said frankly: "There is indeed this concern;

We have conducted in-depth dismantling and research on the A5 on the iPhone 6 released by Apple two months ago, and Apple's self-development capabilities are very strong;

According to related news, Apple acquired a chip design company called PA Semi in 08. This company's design capabilities are actually very strong, um...under the integration of Apple, it should be slightly stronger than ours now. "

Thinking about his ambition, Chen Jianye immediately added loudly: "Of course, we are not weak! Now our team is also very strong. It can be said that it has assembled the strongest group of people in the semiconductor field in China!"

Seeing this, Fang Nian smiled: "Of course Bai Ze will be the strongest."

In my heart: I'm not strong, I'm sorry for the money I spent.

The Chinese have never had less brains than others, but lack opportunities and money;

Many domestic hackers in the engineering field became famous in their later years. Looking at their past experiences, it is almost a history of blood and tears.

For example, a certain team at the University of National Defense Science and Technology, which currently has a cooperative relationship with Bai Ze②, has a boss named Gao Bolong, a senior academician, who specializes in laser gyroscopes.

At the age of 60, I suffer from lack of funds, self-taught programming, building equipment platforms by myself, etc.

Such a difficult environment can break through the technological blockade of European and American countries, which is a good example of the problem.

"..."

After a short pause, Fang Nian asked in a deep voice, "I heard that Apple is already looking for TSMC to manufacture new chips?"

"I've heard about it." Chen Jianye replied.

Fang Nian thought for a while, and said, "For the first generation of self-developed chips, we have to make two-handed preparations. I will ask Mr. Guan and Mr. Lu to coordinate this matter."

"Huh?" Chen Jianye was taken aback for a moment, and then his face became clear.

"..."

The progress of the large CPU is still not particularly smooth, but a new architecture has been replaced, and the performance indicators have improved.

Fang Nian calmly expressed his dissatisfaction: "I don't understand the technical aspects, and from now on, we will support large CPU projects with up to 50 billion more funds;

The cost of SMIC’s 40nm tape-out is less than tens of millions of RMB per time. Apart from other R&D investments, it is enough for you to tape-out twice a day to verify before the specified time..."

"I won't say too much."

Su Zifeng stood up almost immediately.

Before she could speak, the two middle-aged and elderly academicians also stood up and said seriously: "The task must be completed!"

They were not only under the pressure brought by Fang Nian, but also the pressure from various ministries, scientific research units, and the military.

They also know that Bai Ze's support is so strong that it is rare in the world!

They are even more aware that the above support is only 25 billion RMB, which has already been used up in the past few months, and Bai Ze has invested more than one billion again.

算下方年提到的这50亿，这颗工艺仅仅是40纳米的高性能CPU研发投入已经要接近15亿美元了，约等于未来3纳米芯片的极限研发经费，是5纳米芯片的3倍。

Although the research and development expenses of chips such as Apple's A4 were more than 10 billion US dollars earlier, there are reasons for that.

Now Bai Ze's large CPU has a solid technical accumulation and a large number of actual test environments.

Some servers in the Luzhou Frontier Data Center alone have had their CPU replaced twice.

"..."

This time when he came to Luzhou again, Fang Nian seriously issued various task indicators in person.

Including the internal chip project, as well as the arrangement of the Zero brand, and the strategic cooperation with Pangu Labs, etc.

Of course, Fang Nian stayed in Luzhou for another day.

Went to visit Sun Ganlong and others.

Hearing that the Luzhou local government and the local bank both intended to support the frontier of Luzhou with a certain amount of money, Fang Nian also politely declined.

Luzhou's confidence in the frontier is extraordinary.

Because the existence of the frontier in Luzhou has brought about earth-shaking changes in Luzhou.

Thousands of trillions of market changes have been leveraged in one or two years, which is exaggerated enough for an ordinary city.

…………

In a flash, nearly a month has passed.

At the beginning of November, Shanghai can already feel the taste of late autumn and early winter.

It is very difficult to see the snow-white long legs of the little girl and the big daughter-in-law in the streets and alleys.

Starting from the 5th, Fang Nian stayed at Frontier Company all day long, working as an intern secretary for Mr. Lu at ease.

As always, he was only responsible for bringing tea and water to Boss Lu.

On the surface, there is no change in the frontier. Even if there are a large number of new employees joining in each subsidiary, the total number is as high as thousands, and it seems relatively calm.

However, most of the affairs of the frontier offices at the highest level have been suspended, and people also show up at the frontier companies to work every day.

Everyone knows in their hearts that Frontier may face some kind of thunderous pressure again.

On the 7th, Fang Nian received a call and learned that everything was ready.

On the morning of the 8th, a lot of attention was drawn to the capital. The [-]th National Congress opened. Fang Nian received a call again, and the closure project of the North Island and Zhongdao Bridge was fully launched.

Sitting in the office, Fang Nian muttered to himself: "I specially chose a plan that took the longest time. What can be done in 5 months, I just changed it to 9 months, and the capital investment has more than doubled. You must be worthy of my hard work behind the scenes."

Next to him, Lu Weiyu smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Fang Xuedi has a plan, and he can win thousands of miles."

The day as a whole was quiet.

Satellite signal jammers were deployed in the Qilianyu area, and the relevant parties did not pay attention for a while.

接下来是9号、10号、11号、12号、13号……

Fang Nian receives several calls every day, and I can feel the other party's confidence is getting stronger and stronger.

at last……

In the early morning of the 14th, the first phase of the North Central South Sea-Crossing Bridge was completed.

Everything was settled in the silence of the public.

In fact, on the afternoon of the 9th, the news of the project was exposed again, but by then it was too late.

Even Beep C, who is not afraid of anything, dare not use the underworld filter at this time.

Knowing the final result, Fang Nian heaved a sigh of relief. In the early morning of the night, he hit a carp jerk and helped Lu Weiyu's butt in a short while...

-

Chapter 834 'Incompetent Fury' in the happy days; when Kang goes public! (updated)

For a whole day, Fang Nian even walked with a smile on his face.

This matter that weighed on my heart was finally resolved satisfactorily.

It didn't delay the frontier's low-key strategy, which was great.

Seeing that Fang Nian was so happy, Lu Weiyu also became happy, and she didn't use her eyes to warn Fang Nian's a little presumptuousness in her office all day.

Not to mention his sudden absurd operation last night.

Thinking about it now, Lu Weiyu still felt that her buttocks were still numb, so she couldn't help scolding softly: "You are a man!"

Fang Nian was humming a little tune that was out of tune, when he heard this, he blinked and looked at Lu Weiyu.

Lu Weiyu rolled her eyes and looked down at the documents.

I didn't read a word for a long time.

Fang Nian: "..."
