Hammer of Technology

A set of overall solutions around Ningxin No. [-], the expectations brought to all electronic enthusiasts are obviously much greater than Ningxin No. [-] itself.

This is enough to show that Ning Wei is ambitious.

It's not that it is enough to make a CPU, but I really want to participate in the market competition and compete with Intel, AMD and Microsoft platforms.And according to Zhou Zhenghao, there is a high probability that they will take the route of differentiated competition this time.In other words, there must be some great differences or improvements from the desktop-level operating systems that everyone is accustomed to now.

Otherwise, why did Zhou Zhenghao have the courage to tell the CCTV reporter that the whole world underestimated Zhang Dingxi's research results in front of the camera?

As a result, even the papers published by Zhang Dingxi were downloaded and read by more people, hoping to find breakthroughs and innovations in this overall plan. Many popular science video bloggers have also become busy, and they want to help the public on this New Year’s Eve Guess what aspects of Zhang Dingxi's innovations are mainly focused on...

After studying Zhang Dingxi's paper, stereoscopic displays became the focus of everyone's discussion.

After all, most of the papers published by Zhang Dingxi focus on the stereoscopic imaging of light, but it is still very confusing what achievements he has made.

Stereoscopic display is recognized as the ultimate dream of display technology development in the industry, but there are still many technical constraints.As far as the current development is concerned, 3D displays already have some application scenarios. For example, the screens used in some large shopping malls use stereoscopic vision technology to create the illusion that the scene in the video breaks through the two-dimensional shackles.

But this technology is actually not too amazing. After all, everyone is used to watching 3D movies in theaters, and it is nothing more than an extra pair of glasses.I just don't know how much surprise Zhang Dingxi can bring.

But one thing is worth mentioning.

On this New Year's Eve, no matter how many media are dissatisfied with Ningshe's previous behavior, and even extended to Ningwei, they dare not say anything more at this time.Even Xingyu Weibo didn't dare to say anything more about Ning Wei's teasing behavior on New Year's Eve.

After all, he is the de facto chief designer of Ningxin No. [-], allowing Huaxia to make another breakthrough from zero to one in the chip field.

This also means that any provocation against Ning Wei at this time may hit the street, or hit the street...

It is safest to follow the mainstream approach, such as shouting along with the official media, I would rather be awesome!

If at this frenzied moment, we must stay awake in the world, at most we can only say one thing, everyone, don’t rush to be happy, wait until Ningxin No. [-] is officially announced, and the performance, use effect and price are confirmed. After that, it's never too late to praise...

……

For Ning Wei, these are just floating clouds.

He has long been used to the turmoil on the Internet, and the waves are calm.

Anyway, when I think you are good, I can praise you to the sky, and when I want to scold you, I won't listen to your excuses at all.

The key is that when everyone praises, there is really no other benefit other than satisfying vanity.As for being scolded, the losses suffered are real.For example, because he was scolded by everyone on the Internet, the first perfect date in his life ended in failure.

This is how Gujing Bubo's mentality was tempered.

Of course, Ning Wei had to say something about his students' flattering behavior when they were interviewed by the central media.

For example, I couldn't bear the noise of a group of children in the group, so I was forced to give out ten big red envelopes in a row, and threw two W's out...

The red envelopes are almost enough to give Ke Ke another fresh toy.

As for the rest of the time, Ning Wei really put everything aside, and passed the year with peace of mind in the name of finally achieving results after three years of hard work.

This year, the family is as lively as ever.

There are constant guests every day. Fortunately, Ning's father, Ning's mother, and Jiang's mother are already used to the house full of guests.

From the beginning of the third year of junior high, Ning Wei took his classmate Jiang to go out to pay New Year's greetings. The relatives at home are not here in the capital, so the people who pay New Year's greetings are mostly teachers.

In the past three years since being named an academician, Ning Wei is no longer the young man who was blind to Chinese scientists. Leaders in various industries have already become familiar with their seniors, and the person for New Year's greetings has naturally been determined early.

Many bigwigs in the capital actually don’t live far away. Anyway, they would rather not waste money, sit in each house, make these bigwigs who care about him happy, thank you for your support and care over the years, and leave. , I can always go to several houses in a day.

But even so, it took Ning Wei about three days to finish visiting all the industry leaders on the list that must be visited.No way, who made him a junior.

Of course, the harvest is also full.

For example, the red envelope Xiao Ningke received was too much for her to hug...

The last stop is Tian Dao's house, where you can stay for a meal with peace of mind.

After dinner, classmate Jiang and his wife teased little Ning Ke in the living room, but Ning Wei was called into the study by Tian Yanzhen.

"Okay, you are the most popular Chinese scientist now, and I don't dare to train you anymore. What are your plans for next year? Now that Ningxin No. [-] has been made, let's talk about your plans for next year."

"I really have plans. Well, Director Ning, are you familiar with Academician Pan? Can you introduce me? I am very interested in the recent results of their team and would like to know more detailed experimental content. Can you help me?" I arrange it?"

"Pan Wenxiu? Last time you said that you wanted to study a subject strongly related to quantum mechanics, were you serious?" Tian Yanzhen glanced at Ning Wei and asked.

"Hey, Director Tian, ​​you are really serious."

"Alas..." Tian Yanzhen let out a long sigh.

Originally, he wanted to persuade Ning Wei to return to the field of mathematics. After all, there were still many topics to be studied, but seeing Ning Wei's expression, he knew that it was useless to say anything.After all, there are many mathematicians who are interested in physics, such as the famous Heisenberg. Many people know this scientist because of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle...

But in fact, Heisenberg's mathematical achievements are not lower than his achievements in quantum mechanics. Who can ask for an argument?

------------

387 Another Year Invitation Season

Of course, Tian Yanzhen would not say a word of no. With Ning Wei's current status, if he just wants to meet someone, 90.00% of the people in the world will give this face, even if someone insists on it He doesn't give face, and some people will find a way to make these stubborn people give face.

The above sentence is a bit of a mouthful, but it is the most true situation.

After all, the series of research results that Ningwei is now involved in involves too many interested parties.Not to mention that Ning Wei's demands are not too much, even if it is to ensure vested interests or not to be disturbed, many people are willing to meet Ning Wei's many extremely excessive demands.

For example, make a huge investment in a remote small county to build the world's most advanced technological city model.When almost no one is optimistic about the profit prospects of this man-made tourist city, it is almost completed.

The investment before and after has exceeded 400 billion yuan, and this is not counting the support from "foreign friends" before and after, which can total nearly one billion U.S. dollars.

The above is enough to prove the world's indulgence to Ning Wei. .

"Lao Pan is very nice, I will introduce you later, what questions do you have, what laboratory data do you need, you can talk about it yourself later. But you have to wait, Lao Pan was invited to go out to communicate, and it probably won't be until April. Come back. When he comes back, I will arrange for you to meet. What is the situation with the heterogeneous CPU and the so-called overall solution you made? Are you sure?" Tian Yanzhen asked after pondering for a moment.

"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Tian. This piece is definitely fine. But this time I really want to thank the school's new material laboratory for their help. Without them helping us determine the ratio of several new materials, Xiao Zhang's side would not be possible." The result is so fast." Ning Wei said confidently.

Although he has been on Chinese New Year holidays for the past two days and took Jiang to visit every day, he will still follow up with the updated materials of the test team every night. Now in the laboratory, there are complete video materials for each test, and the entire test can be played back. Steps and effect feedback.

In plus March, these video materials have been streamlined, and only the most important parts are kept, so it doesn't take much time to understand them.Basically, in two hours a day, Ning Wei can understand the progress of all the tests in the laboratory.

Yesterday, the test engineers who have been busy on the front line have adjusted all the serial ports, including the output port, and now it seems that the effect is still good.The only pity is that the display chip is not very suitable at present, and there is no good solution for this.

Before Ningxin No. [-] is accepted by the public, it is undoubtedly extremely risky to rush into the GPU field, and this has to be done slowly.

The current approach is to hand over part of the graphics rendering work of the GPU to the CPU module. Of course, this is actually different from Intel's idea of ​​building the core display into the CPU.Ningxin No. [-] does not have a built-in core display, but has a module to share some GPU work when performing three-dimensional processing on graphics.In order to ensure the compatibility of graphics cards currently on the market.

For this reason, Ningsi Lab also specially changed the drivers for several mainstream graphics cards used for testing.When it comes to the market in the future, the manufacturer needs to make some more specific optimizations on the kernel driver.

Of course, this is not what Ningwei needs to pay attention to.

Tian Yanzhen waved his hand and said: "Come on, don't thank them here and there. You thank them for doing a good job in auxiliary work, and they also have to thank you for giving a lot of projects in the past two years. Several teams over there Thanks to the projects you gave me, I live a lot of life. The last time Lao Tan met me, he said that he would treat you to dinner. He wanted to ask if you have any good projects this year. He happened to have two A doctoral student hasn't decided on a topic yet."

After finishing speaking, Tian Yanzhen paused, and asked earnestly: "I won't say anything about the things that Ningshe did before, but if you do something big, you still have to have achievements. When Xiao Zhou was interviewed, All the big talk has been blown out, you give me an accurate word, will it be embarrassing to release the things you have made in the past three years?"

Asking this question shows that Tian Yanzhen still attaches great importance to those students of Ning Wei.Although these research directions have nothing to do with him.

Ning Wei still confidently replied: "Director Tian, ​​have I ever humiliated you? I have to say one thing. After our results are officially announced, I think the Academy of Engineering should consider breaking the rules and granting a few places this year. Let my students in."

Hearing this reckless remark, Tian Yan was really amused: "You are a joke when you are an academician of the Academy of Engineering? How many places are you allowed? How many people are lining up? Are you really daring to risk the world? It’s not a pity, last year, except for the students who were just promoted from Ningban, all the students under your command entered the Ten Thousand Talents Plan. Are you still not satisfied? Qingke, Jieqing, Youqing, and the worst ones also entered the Hundred Talents Project of the Academy of Sciences , have all the honors that should be taken? If someone can get this kind of honor, they are already mentors, and your students have basically got it. Are you still not satisfied? How do others comment that you don’t have points in your heart?"

Ning Wei nodded and said, "That's what they deserve, after all, they all work hard."

"Who doesn't work hard in scientific research these days? Not to mention that your students don't even look down on the special funding. They are fighting for those special funds. In short, this year, fight for your students. Academician, don't think about it, keep a low profile! Do your own thing well first, and you will definitely have a chance in two years." Tian Yan said angrily.

"Ah? It's late..." Ning Wei stuck out his tongue.

"Huh? What's late?"

Ning Wei immediately explained: "Didn't I visit several academicians in the past two days, and everyone agreed to write recommendation letters for me. In fact, I'm not greedy, so I pushed Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhou and Brother Lu, After all, one of them will definitely go out independently, and the other will go to Ningsi after graduating next year. It will be too far away from me in the future, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it. Brother Lu, I think the grades are almost the same, so I entrust those academicians and uncles to help. a favor..."

Tian Yanzhen was dumbfounded: "I...you...they really agreed?"

Ning Wei immediately nodded and said: "I really agreed, and I agreed very readily, especially Mr. Qin, after he heard me introduce Zhang Dingxi's deeds, he even praised me for coming, so he should be like this. If there is a result, the tutor should support it desperately, and let me help him log in to his account and download the recommendation book. Of course, the specific content was dictated by Mr. Qin after listening to my report, and I wrote it on behalf of him... "

"Besides, the number of academicians nominated for Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhou and Brother Lu is actually enough. We have a special channel. The next thing is to watch the review meeting. Didn't you keep saying that I am not very enthusiastic about the work in the academy? This year I promise to attend the supplementary selection meeting of academicians from beginning to end."

Tian Yanzhen looked at Ning Wei, not knowing what to say for a long time.

After all, the child has grown up.

He knew that many bigwigs of the older generation in the academic world had already liked Ningwei to the core, but he really didn't expect that these bigwigs would indulge Ningwei so much, regardless of principles...

Now he is not worried at all, no one will say anything about Ningwei's achievements so far, but no one can have smooth sailing.There are conflicts in any field. After all, resources are limited. Of course, Tian Yanzhen doesn't mind that his students can be so good all the time. What he fears is the day when the wall will fall and everyone will push it down.

"You..."

"Haha, Director Tian, ​​I know what you are worried about. It's okay, you have to believe that I and those students are really qualified to be included in the textbook this time." Ning Wei said seriously.

……

Holidays always go by very quickly, especially for Ning Wei, when he saw Liu Wei appearing beside him in good spirits, he even felt that it was yesterday when this guy said goodbye...

Sometimes Ning Wei also wonders if his life is too boring. For example, after so many years, he can only run in the capital when he has vacations. He hasn't even finished running in China, and he hasn't had time to see the great rivers and mountains in China. .

Every day is a heart that can't be finished.

For example, seeing Liu Wei means that he has to start worrying again.

"Brother Liu, happy new year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Looking at your radiant face, let me figure it out. Has your family arranged a blind date for the Chinese New Year this year?"

"Ha ha……"

"It seems so. Come on, I have specially prepared a big red envelope for you. Whether you can get it depends on your ability to coax girls."

"How big is the red envelope? See if it's worth my effort."

"How about a big three-bedroom in the capital? Is it grand enough?"

"..."

……

It is indeed atmospheric enough.

If it wasn't for Liu Wei who knew very well that Ning Wei really didn't need to bribe her, she would have wanted to report it...

Of course, from Ningwei's point of view, it's really nothing to have such a bodyguard who regards his life as more important than his own and can get along with him like a friend.

Anyway, there is a high probability that his money will never be spent in this lifetime.

As for spending on scientific research...

It’s really not just bragging. He just needs to say that he wants to do a project with a scale of [-] billion, and he doesn’t need to produce any proposals, PPTs, or even Jitu’s participation. There is no big problem with the start-up funds.

At least until it fails a few times, there is no problem at all.

This is still the present, if Ningxin No. 12 is officially released, it proves that, as Zhou Zhenghao said in the interview, it is no worse than Intel's 12th generation CPU performance, and even better than Intel's [-]th generation CPU in some aspects, it can directly make the CPU more powerful. Countless investors went crazy.

Although Intel has now launched the 14th generation CPU, to be honest, whether it is the 13th generation or the 14th generation, it is far less amazing than the 12th generation God U that was launched back then.It is reported that Intel has invested part of the funds in the research of the new generation of technical standards, which has led to the comparison of the last two generations of products.

For example, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Intel is working hard to explore 2D layered materials to make transistors faster and smaller in size; at the same time, Intel is also investing heavily in research on how to package phase change memory, rotational torque transfer random access memory with the processor. Together, we created Intel's 3D stacked packaging technology, sandwiching the once isolated computer processor functions in multiple layers, and then connecting them with high-speed data channels.

This also requires multiple layers of logic and memory to be integrated in a more granular way, where how to connect is the most important thing.Of course, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to pursue these technological innovations, which is probably the reason why the successive 2 generations of CPUs are extremely stretched.

The 12th generation has exhausted all the accumulated black technology, and then spent a lot of money to research the updated processor architecture, which naturally makes the performance of the next two generations of CPUs that follow the 12th generation logical repair not impressive. .

So if Ningxin No. 12 can really match the performance of Intel's [-]th generation CPU, it will definitely drive countless investors crazy.After all, it took only three years to get involved in the world's most advanced semiconductor field with the most stringent barriers, which was definitely something no one could have imagined before.

For capital, they have never paid much attention to the process, and the most important thing is the result.

Although Ning Wei doesn't understand business, this period of time has already made him see these things clearly.

"Don't talk about it, save your kindness first, I haven't considered getting married in the past two years." Liu Wei shrugged.

"It's a pity!" Ning Wei shook his head, and then asked again: "By the way, didn't you say that Ning Si has a lot of spies before, have you closed the net now? It seems that you haven't heard anything about Ning Si's laboratory."

"Don't worry, everything is under control. But don't be in a hurry. You have read the list before, and the test engineering department of the spies has also been infiltrated. If there is too much noise at this time, it will affect their work efficiency. And even if We really started to deal with it, and there won't be much movement. We still have to ensure the stability of Ning Si. After all, it is impossible for Ning Xin to have only one generation, right?" Liu Wei replied.

"Oh, that's good." Ning Wei nodded and decided not to ask.As Liu Wei said before, they are professionals in dealing with these people.At least as far as the current situation is concerned, it should be handled well.

Of course, there is nothing to worry about even if it is not handled well.Around the Ningxin No. [-] series, Ningsi Lab has applied for nearly [-] patents in the past three years. As long as the other party is not shameless enough to deny these patents, the impact on Ningsi Lab will not be too great.

In fact, in Ning Wei's view, what is more terrifying is that these people sell the chips at the price of cabbage. After all, this piece of Ningxin No. [-] really does not have an advantage.

He made a budget early on. If all the research and development costs invested in the past three years are divided into the selling price of each CPU, and various production costs and production line inputs are added, the average price of each chip is [-] yuan. Calculated, at least [-] million chips must be sold to cover production costs and earn back the investment in previous research and development.

If you want to make a profit, you must either increase the price, or sell more, or improve the production process and increase the yield.But the latter has to continue to invest.

It's a pity that he can't do much in this regard.Fortunately, the question of how to make a profit does not require him to ask too much.

Whether it is Huawei, Jitu, or Huaxin Precision, which is a shareholder, has its own considerations.Maybe Huaxin Precision can be so willful that it doesn't make money, as long as Ningxin can spread out in the future, that's enough.

After all, a whole set of CNMD heterogeneous production solutions is now in the hands of Huaxin Precision. Whether it is TSMC or Samsung, they can only manufacture chips representing old processes.In other words, if Ningxin performs well enough and the CNMD structure can be accepted by the public, Huaxin Precision may become the only chip manufacturer that can carry out CNMD structure foundry for a long time, without worrying about no orders.

And if the CNMD structure can conquer the world, Huaxin Precision is even sure that it can directly make the glory of TSMC a history, and even let Intel eat shit...
