Minke's black technology

Chapter 129 Commercial Chips
"Let me design a chip?"

Li Maoye looked at Zhou Lin inexplicably, not knowing where the other party knew about the AI ​​chip.

When he looked at Xie Linger, she repeatedly waved her hands and said that she didn't tell anyone else, and she didn't even tell the chip R&D director about the source of the design plan when she went to tape out, let alone Zhou Lin, who was also from the relevant department.

"It's like this..."

Zhou Lin explained to his boss with a wry smile that he is now an employee of Meowstar Technology, and he is also paid by Meowstar Technology, but what he is doing now is a bit unreasonable.

I don't know when it started, SMIC has been secretly developing chips with a new structure, trying to bypass the patent barriers of Western chips, but unfortunately the progress has been slow for more than ten years without any results.

Although not many people know about the chip design proposed by Xie Linger, it is a pity that there is no impenetrable wall in this world, especially the performance of the brand-new structure chip she taped out is far beyond the current technical level, achieving the performance of other chips of the same level. To the extent that it is not enough, even if the R&D supervisor issues a ban password, it cannot stop human gossip.

Anyway, the tape-out of the chip research and development institute spread quickly.

As a result, it was widely spread, and it even reached the ears of the person in charge of SMIC's chip design. They didn't believe it at first, but what they never expected was that the test data of the tape-out was also leaked.

With the test data to prove it, then this matter is absolutely true.

Originally, this had nothing to do with SMIC, but the chip structure designed by Li Maoye, not to mention circumventing the existing chip patent barriers, can be said to be a new structure that is self-contained!
This stunned the people of SMIC, as if they had spent more than ten years climbing Mount Everest without success, but when they looked up, they found that someone had planted a flag on the top of the mountain.

Of course, they also saw that this chip has special functions and is different from ordinary commercial chips, but its performance is so powerful that it should be able to be used as a commercial chip for various purposes after modification.

"Which company developed this chip?" After receiving the relevant information, SMIC executives hurriedly said to others: "Can we find its developer and buy its patent?"

"This kind of chip technology is many years ahead of the existing mainstream chips, and I am afraid that it cannot be designed by ordinary companies!" SMIC's chief technology officer judged.

"No matter whose design it is, we must also buy its design patent!" SMIC boss also spoke, he knows the real value of the chip with this structure in front of him, it is a super big market of hundreds of billions of dollars, even if Catering only to the needs of the rabbit's home country can also make them very profitable.

"Can it be done? It must be done!" The boss continued to ask.

No one could answer this kind of question at the time. After all, they only knew that someone brought the chip design drawing to the tape, but they didn't know who or which company designed the product.

So SMIC bosses started to mobilize all network resources to collect detailed information on the tape-out at the chip research and development institute at that time, and to seek help from the people behind SMIC.

After a search, I found Meow Star Technology.

Even though Xie Linger did not reveal the source of the chip at the time, after being checked by interested people, he quickly targeted Li Maoye. After all, he is already a well-known black technology leader in the private sector. That's right.

Originally, Zhou Lin didn't want to get involved in this, but the technology of chips is related to the fate of the country. Now the rabbit spends more money importing chips every year than buying oil.

Chips have already replaced oil as a major import expense for rabbits. Once the chips are blocked by Western countries, rabbits have nothing to do, which shows how important this matter is.

The relevant departments also learned about this matter, so they wanted to use Zhou Linlai as a lobbyist, and wanted Li Maoye to provide technical support, design a brand new chip, and solve the current technical problems encountered by Chip International.

"Oh, I see!"

After listening to the explanation, Li Maoye felt that Zhou Lin was not to blame for this matter. He was just following orders, and there was still national justice in it. Even if it was him, he would do something against his will to help.

"Hey, all in all, the chip matter is all up to Mr. Li! Show your power and help SMIC!" Zhou Lin said with a smile. After getting along for more than half a year, he certainly understands Li Maoye's temperament and knows how to conceal the truth. It will only make things worse, and the only way to tell the truth is the best policy.

"I can't talk about showing great power, but my design plan is completely different from SMIC's, and there is no basis for cooperation with them!"

Li Maoye still refuses to cooperate with others, not because of anything else, but simply because he is afraid of trouble!His technology is obviously different from the current earth technology. Even if it is all technology-side technology, but to explain the technical principle to them clearly, even if he can explain it clearly, he has to start from the basics!
Wouldn't that kill him!
"No, no! I won't go if we cooperate in research and development together!" Li Maoye waved his hand, he didn't want to discuss cooperation matters with the SMIC people. If he has this kind of free time, he might as well overcome a few more technical difficulties. See if you can speed up the recovery of the CVI system.

Zhou Lin had nothing to do about it, he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, he really didn't know how to persuade Li Maoye.

Everyone knows what this bald man has decided, so it is difficult to make him change his mind, whether it is coercion or temptation, it is difficult, the only way is to let him convince himself.

But Xie Linger said with a tacit understanding: "Since you don't want to cooperate, why don't Mr. Li design a new chip with a new structure for Meowstar Technology, so that Mr. Huang and the others..."

"Let the monkeys produce chips?"

Li Maoye frowned, feeling that this matter was a bit unreliable: "Producing chips is not as simple as producing battery liquid. Now the technology of Meow Star is developing too fast, and adding more burdens may cause big problems for the company."

If someone else manages Meowstar Technology, it is estimated that they will encounter similar problems. After all, the several black technologies he has come up with are too strong, and any one of them can make a small company develop into a large company worth hundreds of billions. If an enterprise operates so many black technologies at the same time, it will be like driving a horse-drawn carriage with several strong horses. If you are not careful, the car will crash and people will die.

"However, you're right! I can design a commercial chip and license it to other companies for production!"

After the reorganization of the laboratory, Li Maoye felt that he could not rely solely on Meow Star Technology for production and operation, and there are many black technologies that can obtain profits through authorization.

Moreover, providing a new structural design solution to domestic chip manufacturers will not only help the country reduce chip imports, but also reduce the production cost of AI chips for the assistant!
This is simply killing two birds with one stone!
