Chapter 28: Cannons to Kill Mosquitoes
Chapter 28: Cannons to Kill Mosquitoes
After knocking on the production line, Kang Chi suddenly became idle.
Daqin Optics has entered a relatively stable development stage, and he basically doesn’t need to worry too much. Now he just needs to wait for the first production line to be upgraded with full experience before considering the next layout.
So he naturally turned his attention back to the graphics card.
In addition to not being able to stand the group of people selling graphics cards, the layout of chips is also paving the way for making cameras in the future.
Even more than just cameras, Now all things with electricity, which one can be separated from chips? Kang Chi also knows that chips are not easy to make, but just like making cameras, although it seems far away at present, as long as you start from the most basic links and go step by step, one day everything will come naturally.
Last time I sent an email to the Microelectronics Research Institute of Suzhou University, but it fell into the sea and I never received a reply.
There was no response from Jiangsu University, so Kang Chi could not just sit there and wait, so he could only consider other methods.
How about trying assembly?
As long as the items are made or repaired by yourself, there will be system panels.
But what is the definition of this manufacturing? Assembly is also a kind of manufacturing, but it is a foundry without mastering the core technology.
With a try-it mentality, Kang Chi bought a bunch of graphics card parts from the Internet, and then tried to weld and assemble one by himself.
As a result, the panel came out,
but there was no option for upgrading and parsing.
This was obviously a failure.
”It seems that taking shortcuts by assembling will not work.”
Kang Chi speculated from this:
System-defined manufacturing does not require every screw to be made by yourself, but the manufacturer must master the core technology of the item and have a high degree of manufacturing participation.
For example, the lens production line, Kang Chi actually used a lot of ready-made parts, which can be regarded as semi-assembled goods, but the result is that it can be upgraded.
This time, the graphics card was not suitable, because he was just doing simple splicing, and he didn’t master the core technology.
Kang Chi, who failed in the assembly attempt, finally decided to go to Su Province University in person. —— ”University is still the best!”
Walking on the campus of Su Province University, Kang Chi looked at the youthful and energetic college students coming and going, and felt that he was a lot younger.
Well…
He seemed to be very young.
After asking for directions several times, Kang Chi finally found the Microelectronics Research Institute.
This research institute affiliated to Su Province University is located not far from the Microelectronics College Building. From the outside, it is just an ordinary teaching building.
”Which college are you from?”
As soon as Kang Chi walked into the gate, the security guard sitting at the door stopped him immediately.
“Uh, hello, I want to see Academician Wu.”
”Which college are you from? Did you bring your student ID? Did you report in advance? If you don’t report, you can’t come in even if you want to see the principal.”
”I sent an email in advance.”
”Sent an email?”
The security guard immediately glanced at Kang Chi vigilantly, “Are you not a student of our school?”
”No.” Kang Chi answered honestly.
The security guard was immediately alert.
”Don’t move, wait a moment.”
He immediately made a phone call, and his eyes never left Kang Chi during the call.
After about five minutes, Wang Haowen, who received the call, finally walked out of the institute.
”Are you looking for Academician Wu?” After seeing Kang Chi, Wang Haowen first looked him up and down to confirm that he seemed to have never seen him before.
Kang Chi nodded.
Wang Haowen asked curiously, “What do you want to see him about? Have you made an appointment in advance?”
Faced with Wang Haowen’s three consecutive questions, Kang Chi did not answer any of them, but asked back, “May I ask who you are?”
”Wang Haowen, a doctoral student following Academician Wu.”
Kang Chi nodded, “Hello, Dr. Wang, I am Kang Chi, the boss of Longteng Technology. Our company has a project that wants to cooperate with your institute. We have sent an email before. I wonder if you have received it…”
After listening to Kang Chi’s introduction, Wang Haowen immediately remembered that
It seems that this is indeed the case! Then he showed a strange expression.
This person…
Is he okay?
It’s okay to send a prank email, but he also came to find someone in person?
”Ahem, Mr. KangHello… Academician Wu went to Yenching for an academic conference. Just tell me if you have anything to say. Well, it’s not convenient here. How about we go for a walk outside? ”
Kang Chi nodded immediately.
He found the Microelectronics Research Institute of Suzhou University because he was completely in the dark about semiconductors. He didn’t know anyone to guide him. He could only find a research institute that seemed quite reliable to try.
Even if he couldn’t reach a cooperation, it would be good to know one or two practitioners in related industries and learn more about the industry situation.
This Wang Haowen meets Kang Chi’s standards.
One of the two men is a science and engineering man, and the other is a technology geek. Neither of them is good at speaking. They walked for more than a hundred meters with their own ulterior motives, and didn’t say a word.
The atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
Finally, Kang Chi couldn’t help asking: “Um… did you receive the email?”
”Received. “Wang Haowen was quite straightforward. “It just so happens that I am in charge of email issuance. But I thought it was just a prank, so I just ignored it. So… you are not serious, are you?”
”Why, is it not possible?”
”…”
Wang Haowen looked at Kang Chi speechlessly: “It seems that you know nothing about semiconductors. Do you know how much research funds this seemingly ordinary research institute burns every year?”
”How much?”
”3 billion!”
”If it is spread out every day, more than 8 million funds are burned, and you want to borrow our equipment to make a 2D accelerator card that can’t even be called a graphics card…”
”Excuse me, only a real layman would have such an idea of using a cannon to kill a mosquito. ”
3 billion? A laboratory of a college burns 3 billion every year? Kang Chi was also surprised after hearing this.
He remembered that the research funds of more than a dozen colleges of his former alma mater seemed to be only 4 billion, and it was a 211 key university.
And at Jiangsu University, almost one college was burned out…
It can only be said that the best ones have to be 985!
In fact, Kang Chi wanted to try his luck from the beginning when he asked Jiangsu University for help, but now after listening to Wang Haowen’s words, Kang Chi realized that this was not a chance, but a lottery ticket.
It was a bit embarrassing…
”Ahem, sorry, I thought too simply.” Kang Chi generously admitted his mistake, and then asked, “Where do you think I should go to find a small cannon to kill mosquitoes?”
”Some low-end integrated circuit factories should be able to meet your needs. ”
Wang Haowen said, and hesitated again, “But you only make one, and you ask to make it yourself… I don’t think people will pay attention to you. Is this your company’s business, or your personal interest?”
”It’s a personal hobby. I’m quite interested in semiconductors.”
Kang Chi made up a random excuse to deal with it.
”You must have a lot of acquaintances in this field, right? Can you help me think of a solution? Don’t worry, I will definitely not let you work in vain.”
Wang Haowen immediately waved his hand: “It’s not a matter of working in vain. I will definitely help if I can.”
After speaking, he fell into deep thought. After a moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and took out his mobile phone and flipped through the address book.
”I have an undergraduate classmate whose family makes integrated circuits, but I haven’t contacted him for many years. I don’t know if he is still running. ”
Wang Haowen said as he dialed the phone.
After not contacting old classmates for several years, they finally got through on the phone, so they had to catch up.
So Kang Chi tactfully walked a few steps away.
