Chapter 543: Heavenly Machine

The area of the entire Dongxin Semiconductor, the land circled, was more than double what it was when Li Dongling came last time.

Especially the adjacent land, which was clearly cleared into a large open space. Li Dongling knew that it was land reserved for the chip production base.

Li Weimin, Zhou Shuyang, and other people from the Hanxi provincial capital city government had also been to Dongxin Semiconductor and Dongfang Photoelectric across the road a few times, but the Dongxin Semiconductor in front of them was still somewhat beyond their expectations.

"It seems that Dongxin Semiconductor has big moves?"

Entering Dongxin Semiconductor, Zhou Shuyang tentatively asked Wu Xinyi.

On the side, Li Weimin, who was in charge of the Hanxi Industry Department, knew Dongxin Semiconductor better. He also saw that Dongxin Semiconductor was clearly preparing for big moves, and also asked, "I heard that Dongxin Semiconductor also reached a cooperation agreement with Microsoft?"

The domestic media's attention was all on the game console project, and then on Feiyan Technology getting huge financing and going public. Furthermore, the interest in Li Dongling's private jet was better than the news that Dongxin Semiconductor reached a cooperation with Microsoft.

For this cooperation, only those in the semiconductor industry paid attention. Personnel in other industries were not so interested in the news that Microsoft's system supported Dongxin Semiconductor.

Wu Xinyi looked at Li Dongling, and seeing Li Dongling nod gently, he said, "Dongxin Semiconductor's R&D department is developing a new chip project, which will start taping out next month!"

Dongxin Semiconductor's computer chip project has always been in a state of confidentiality, but now it is about to start trial taping out. Whether it is a mule or a horse, it has to be pulled out for a walk.

Whether it succeeds or fails, at this point, there is no need to cover it up. After all, even if it is setting off fireworks, it is still listening to a sound. Dongling High-Tech headquarters and Dongxin Semiconductor have smashed so much money into it, so they have to see something.

Hearing this, Li Weimin and Zhou Shuyang's faces changed slightly. They came over today, saying it was to inspect Dongxin Semiconductor, but in fact, they basically held the idea of going through the motions. What they really cared about was the project Li Dongling reached in America. But now hearing Wu Xinyi's words, they felt that they seemed to have encountered something unexpected.

"Sirius's new generation of chips?" Li Weimin tentatively asked. He had the deepest impression of Dongxin Semiconductor, which was naturally the Sirius chip.

Back then, Sirius emerged, breaking the monopoly of foreign landline telephone chips led by Toshiba in the country, which also made the Industry Department of Hanxi Province lose face once. That time, even CCTV's news at 7:00 pm gave Sirius nearly a few seconds of footage.

After the Sirius chip, Dongxin Semiconductor did indeed make a name for itself in the country, but the domestic semiconductor industry has been devastated too severely in these years.

Plus, the big head of chips now is computer chips, which is the pearl on the crown now. The light emitted by the Sirius chip is much dimmer compared to computer chips.

Just one Sirius is difficult to change the status quo of domestic chips. After a gust of wind, the domestic semiconductor industry returned to calm again.

Now hearing about Dongxin Semiconductor's new generation of chip projects, Li Weimin naturally subconsciously thought it was Sirius's new generation of chips. After all, Dongxin Semiconductor has experience in this area, and launching the second generation of Sirius chips to circle a wave of money is reasonable.

"It's Dongxin Semiconductor's self-developed computer chip project!"

Li Dongling opened his mouth at this time. Hearing this, Li Weimin, who had just raised his footsteps, stumbled and almost fell to the ground, looking at Li Dongling with full surprise.

Somewhat slow to react, Zhou Shuyang and several other department heads of the Hanxi provincial capital city government who were not familiar with semiconductors didn't know why Li Weimin reacted so strongly.

"Dongxin Semiconductor is self-developing domestic computer chips and is about to trial produce?"

Li Weimin's face was a bit flushed. He knew too well what this news meant. If it could really be successfully developed, it would be like launching a satellite.

Domestic, even if they don't pay much attention to the semiconductor industry now, they won't let Dongxin Semiconductor, this lone seedling, fall. As long as the performance and quality are slightly passable, there will be no shortage of orders in the future.

Li Weimin even felt that it was not impossible to form a semiconductor industrial park cluster in the provincial capital of Hanxi around Dongxin Semiconductor.

Once the semiconductor industrial park is built, it will not only be the provincial capital of Hanxi, which will have an additional signboard industry, but also have the opportunity to provide a large number of jobs and tax revenue for the provincial capital of Hanxi in the future.

For Li Weimin, this is also related to his official career and his posthumous name. As long as the signboard of this national key project semiconductor industrial park is hung up, Li Weimin's name will not only be written into the provincial annals of the provincial government, but also leave his name in the history of domestic semiconductor industry development.

Fame, wealth, and even posthumous name can all be obtained. How can Li Weimin not be excited?

"Manager Wu, I don't know if it's convenient for us to visit the laboratory?"

Li Weimin asked Wu Xinyi, but in fact, he was asking Li Dongling. Wu Xinyi saw Li Dongling nod, and then took a crowd of people to the laboratory.

"Brother Li, you are really hiding it. You have such a project, and you covered it up until now!"

Wu Yaoguo said to Li Dongling in a low voice. He now knows why Li Dongling wants to prepare for the chip production base for Dongxin.

Li Dongling looked at Wu Yaoguo. "It can't be called covering up. Who knows if the self-developed computer chip project can succeed? Even now, it's just taping out. It's still too early to say it's successful!"

Wu Yaoguo pointed at Li Dongling, seemingly not believing this at all. "I don't know your style, brother?"

Li Dongling heard this and could only shake his head helplessly. Li Weimin or Wu Yaoguo, now they have more confidence in Dongling High-Tech and Dongxin Semiconductor than he, the boss, seems to have. This is unreasonable.

Dongxin Semiconductor's experimental building, the first feeling when passing by, is that the security is strict. Before approaching the laboratory, there were security personnel patrolling.

To get in, you have to go through several levels, and you have to use imported security detectors. The entire building is also covered by monitoring. This level of security is the first in Hanxi.

Do not have the heart to harm others, but have the heart to guard against others. Li Dongling has equipped bodyguards and security measures for the R&D projects and important R&D engineers under his banner.

It might be inconspicuous now, but as Dongxin Semiconductor's rivals become more and more, they have to guard against the other party using some unseen means to target Dongling High-Tech.

After all, the most direct and effective means to hinder a company's R&D project is to kill the chief engineer of this project, which saves money, effort, and time.

And this kind of thing, the giant companies in America and Old Europe, when they are about to be caught up by latecomers, will definitely use it. For companies controlled by Anglo-Saxons and Hebrews, the biggest bottom line is that there is no bottom line, and they can do anything!

Dongxin Semiconductor's experimental building doesn't look high, but it is actually divided into two parts, ground and underground. There are ten floors above ground and three floors underground, including an avoidance layer, which can ensure that the R&D personnel in the building enter the underground avoidance layer to survive the crisis in an emergency.

The cost of this building was borne by Dongling High-Tech's headquarters, and it cost nearly 70 or 80 million in total. This fund is definitely a huge sum now.

Once entering Dongxin Semiconductor's experimental building, Wu Yaoguo, Li Weimin, and Zhou Shuyang were stunned. Now the domestic laboratories and research institutes are all "bitter style".

Like Hanxi's research institutes, including university laboratories, the facilities are relatively simple because the funds are insufficient. Building a special experimental building and decorating it luxuriously, don't even think about it. Some laboratories don't even have air conditioning, and there are still quite a few people who turn on big fans for more than ten years, and squeeze into tube buildings after work.

But Dongxin Semiconductor's laboratory is completely modern style. The decoration style is similar to the later style. The interior is equipped with a constant temperature system, the decoration is mainly modern style, and it is equipped with quite a few modern equipment. At first glance, it feels full of "tech sense".

Except for the laboratory, the entire experimental building is equipped with rest areas, gyms, library areas, smoking areas, leisure areas with TVs and game consoles, emergency medical rooms, etc.

"Academician Ni, Professor Huang!"

Li Dongling and Wu Yaoguo and a crowd of people came to the ninth floor. Dongxin's ten-story laboratory, each floor has different projects, and the ninth floor belongs to the computer chip R&D team.

After entering, Ni Guangnan and Huang Lingyi were still busy with their respective teams. Both of them belong to the desperate style. Since the start of R&D, they basically almost lived in the laboratory.

"This is the sample chip we are developing. The chip code is Tianji No. 1!" ===== CHAPTER 544 =====

Once they entered the experimental building of Dongxin Semiconductor, Wu Yaoguo, Li Weimin, and Zhou Shuyang were stunned. Currently, domestic laboratories and research institutes were all about the "spirit of enduring hardship."

Like the research institutes in Hanxi, including university laboratories, the facilities were relatively simple because funding was insufficient. Building a dedicated experimental building with luxurious interior decoration was out of the question. Some laboratories didn't even have air conditioning and still used large fans that had been turning for ten or twenty years. Many R&D personnel still squeezed into tenement buildings with their families after work.

But the laboratory of Dongxin Semiconductor was completely modern in style, with a decor similar to future styles. The interior featured a constant temperature system, a modern design, and was equipped with many modern devices. At first glance, it felt full of "technological sense."

In addition to the laboratories, the entire experimental building was equipped with rest areas, a gym, a library area, a smoking area, a leisure area with TVs and game consoles, an emergency medical room, and more.

"Academician Ni, Professor Huang!"

Li Dongling, Wu Yaoguo, and the others arrived at the ninth floor. Dongxin's ten-story laboratory had different projects on each floor, and the ninth floor was dedicated to the computer chip R&D team.

After entering, Ni Guangnan and Huang Lingyi were still busy with their respective teams. Both were "workaholic" types; since they started R&D, they had basically been living in the laboratory.

"This is the sample chip we are currently developing; the chip code is Tianji No. 1!"
