Great Power Technology

Chapter 21 Gun in hand!
Ye Zhou took a deep breath and walked slowly to the main podium.

This was the first time he faced a crowd of this size alone. Compared with today's speeches, those speeches he gave in school were nothing more than small talk.

Neither Huaji nor the official gave him any time to prepare and adapt. Only the boss told him "grow up in the battle" before taking the stage.

The reporters in the audience were still talking.

"What the hell? Is this the executive vice president of Micro Fusion? Who is he? So young?"

"Is it planned by the genius boy? Who is going to search for the job number?"

"I searched for someone, level 21, just joined the job this year. Graduated from a bachelor's degree, the school is average, 985."

"985 can't be called ordinary."

"Compared to his position, 985 is indeed very ordinary. How many people work until they are 50 or 21 years old and can't get to level [-]. Could it be that he has internal connections?"

"It doesn't matter, just listen to what he has to say."

Ye Zhou coughed, and after testing that there was no problem with the microphone, he lowered his voice slightly and said to the audience:
"Hello everyone."

The audience immediately fell silent.

After taking another breath, Ye Zhou started his speech.

"I am the executive vice president of Micro Fusion, and my name is Ye Zhou. Today, on behalf of Micro Fusion and Huaji Company, I am releasing our new product 'Yinglong EDA' in the field of chip design."

"Specific technical parameters and product details will be introduced later by a special person. Here, I will only give an opening speech."

"The following are some things I want to say about this conference."

After a short pause, Ye Zhou adjusted the microphone again and said:
"When I was in elementary school, my teacher taught me a concept: the 21st century is the century of information technology revolution."

"Parallel with the first and second industrial revolutions, the information technology revolution has also completely changed the way of life of mankind."

"Computers, mobile phones, televisions, vehicles, airplanes, fire systems in rooms, range hoods in kitchens, automated control systems in dams, warheads in missiles, and laser sights in tanks are all connected to information. Technology is all about it.”

"And the core of these technologies is the integrated circuit—or, to put it more simply, the chip."

"Without the chip, we're going to lose all these ways of life that have been integrated into us."

"Maybe you will say, I can drive a purely mechanical car, I can do without a range hood, I can do without security cameras and smoke alarms, but it is impossible for everyone here to say 'I can do without the Internet' This sentence."

"Because the manuscript you write will be released through the Internet later."

"The Internet around the world is built on the basis of cellular networks, and modern cellular networks are inseparable from chips."

"The chip is so important that without it we have to relearn how to live."

"But unfortunately, from the emergence of transistors in the 40s to the advent of the first integrated circuit chip in 1958, until now in the 21st century, the hegemony of integrated circuits has always been in the hands of the West."

"It's not that we don't have chips, it's not that we don't have chip technology, it's just that our chip technology is too backward."

"So far behind, if the enemy restricts the export of a certain technology at will, a large company will face disaster."

"Some companies are forced to kneel in front of the enemy in order to survive. This may not be called surviving, but it should be said to be a stopgap measure. No one can blame them."

"Huaji is also facing the same pressure, but it is still standing. However, Huaji's knee is about to reach the breaking point."

"For countless days and nights, engineers from every corner of the country have been racking their brains thinking about the same question: how can we break down the barrier?"

"How can we pierce the dome that the enemy keeps pressing down?"

"Today, on behalf of microfusion, I want to give you an answer."

"Maybe it's not the best answer, but at least it's an answer."

"We didn't directly try to answer how to pierce the sky, we answered what kind of weapons we would need if we were to pierce the sky."

"Yinglong EDA, this is the answer given by Micro Fusion, and it is also the answer given by Huaji."

"This EDA is the first integrated EDA in China. Its computing power, architecture, and functions are all ahead of Synopsys' existing products, and it is enough to support the chip design work of any enterprise."

"At 8:30 this morning, during the negotiation between Huaji and Synopsys, a Western EDA monopoly manufacturer, Huaji suspended all cooperation with the other party."

"From today, Huaji will no longer purchase EDA products from any foreign manufacturer, and all chip designs will run on Yinglong EDA."

"From today, Yinglong EDA will open authorization to all national enterprises in China, and implement a three-month free trial period. As long as you are controlled by Huazi, as long as your actual controller is an upright Huaxia person, you can apply for Wah Kee application."

"If the chip industry is to develop, there is still a long way to go."

"But starting today, we will put swords and guns into everyone's hands. With guns in hand, I hope that all national enterprises will unite and try to pierce the sky together."

"From today onwards, I hope that no one in China will suffer from electronic hegemony anymore."

"That's all I have to say, thank you all."

The audience was silent for a moment, then applause broke out.

If Ye Zhou's speech was more about emotion than content, then his statement "no longer purchasing any foreign EDA products" undoubtedly supported all emotions.

The reporters present clearly felt one thing.

This time, Hua Ji really planned to make the bayonet popular.

After Ye Zhou stepped down, Lu Xu, the product manager, stepped onto the podium and began to introduce the product performance of Yinglong EDA.

More than 90% of the computing power utilization rate, chip design to the cloud, and the whole scene from design to test were opened up. One by one, shocking concepts were thrown out, and the already enthusiastic venue gradually became full of voices.

Ye Zhou sneaked into the crowd, and he saw different expressions on the faces of these reporters.

Some people were pleasantly surprised, some were excited, and some journalists who really understand technology even burst into tears.

But there are still some people with disdain on their faces.

He saw a man wearing glasses arguing with the people around him with red faces.

". Chip manufacturing is chip manufacturing. Isn't it an achievement if you solve the problem of chip design? Isn't it progress if someone stuck your neck and broke a finger after all the hard work? "

"Whether this finger is broken or not is still a question, even if it is broken, so what? They don't provide you with OEMs, and they don't give you lithography machines. How do you make chips? Is it based on imagination? Bragging to the point This level of ignoring reality is also the first time I have seen it.”

"What bragging?! Didn't they make their EDA? The demo has already started, are you blind and can't see?"

The man in glasses pointed at the big screen angrily, but the other party just smiled disdainfully.

"Who knows if it's a PPT?"

".You fucking idiot, anyway, Hua Ji said that the trial period is open, and we will see the outcome in three months, and your face will be swollen by then!"

"Hehe, even if this Yinglong is really easy to use, so what, it's not like I can't make a chip"

Before he finished speaking, a hand was suddenly pressed on his shoulder.

Looking back, Ye Zhou was looking at him indifferently.

Ye Zhou's hands gradually tightened, and then he said in a deep voice:
"Can't make a chip? I can tell you, it won't be long. You will definitely see the first 3nm chip that is [-]% domestic."
