Before coming here, Director Li didn't really have much hope for the finished carbon based chips made by Jinling Institute of Higher Studies.

After all, the semiconductor research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is working on the same project. Numerous enterprise R&D units at the semiconductor industrial base on the side of Jiangcheng are working on it, but so far they have only seen a little bit of fruitful seedlings.

After reading the report that Professor Lu sent to Shanghai, the old academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences said ambiguously that there might have been a breakthrough at the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies in integrating carbon-based transistors into integrated circuits, but no one thought they were really that awesome.

While they were wondering how to take down the technical gateway to integrating carbon-based transistors into integrated circuits, Jinling Institute of Higher Studies not only made finished products, but even made a scientific calculator out of finished DIY...

Director Lee wouldn't believe it if he hadn't seen it in front of him.

But now, there's nothing left to doubt.

Maintaining a serious look on his face, he continued.

“The international situation is now superficially calm, but in fact, since the construction of our lunar scientific research base, unfriendly forces against us have been constantly making small moves, big moves and not a moment of real tranquillity. As you probably know, the one that hit the biosphere a last year? ”

The ark nodded, indicating understanding.

Director Li: “That can only be a small problem. ”

Ark: “What about the big trouble? ”

Director Lee: “According to reliable sources, the United States is planning to attack our semiconductor industry. ”

After hearing this, the ark was slightly stunned and said with a strange expression.

“… their controllable fusion station in California doesn't want a core anymore? ”

If it had been a few years ago, two years before and after his return, it might have been possible. The achievements of the State of China in the field of information technology are indeed worthy of the United States.

But now it's 2022, the third successful year of controllable fusion ignition, the cross-regional power grid has gone from Nanjiang to the Malacca Strait...

Even if you want a technical blockade at this time, the conditions won't allow it.

“Controlled fusion is indeed one of our cards and a very lethal one, if not one that would have come a long way. ”

After unwrapping the cup and pouring tea into the lid, Director Lee drank a sip of moisturizing his voice and continued, "However, for Americans, there are many alternatives to executive orders. Using market behavior, for example, proactively pushing up prices in semiconductor industrial chains, putting pressure on us downstream of industrial chains to increase costs, thereby undermining our purpose. ”

“In order to prevent this, we must take the initiative! ”

“I guess I see what you're saying," the ark nodded, "so... you mean? ”

“This kind of thing should have been left to the market, but sometimes we can't let you think about it entirely, often fighter planes are lost in waiting," said Director Li, smiling, his serious expression eased slightly, took a document out of the bag and put it on the table.

“Take a look. ”

As soon as I heard the word "you”, Ark Zhou had a bad feeling.

The old man seldom gets so polite with him.

Unless there's something very troublesome going on with him.

Pretending to feel this, looking at the ark of the document on the table, I had a headache.

Obviously just the day before yesterday, he had just made up his mind. Before Lehman figured it out, it was difficult for anyone to ask him to do anything. Such a big trouble came back to the door.

However, to the old man's sincere and trusting eyes, the ark hesitated for a while and finally sighed, holding up the document and sweeping a glance.

When he saw the title, his eyebrows gently lifted down.

“Dragon One? ”

“Yes,” Director Li nodded, "please finish reading this document! ”

Leaning back against the chair, the ark followed the body and looked down line by line.

Although he rarely comes into contact with anything other than research, and most of these contracts are thrown to his sister for processing, the content is not very complicated and even he can read it.

In short, it is a “tripartite agreement” led by the Bureau of Science and Industry and guaranteed by an executive order.

In this agreement, the three units involved are Warwick, Starscream and the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, while the specific project involved is Warwick Heights' latest product R&D program, Longteng Series Chips.

Unlike series chips such as Kirin, Longteng series chips will fully adopt the latest carbon-based semiconductor technology, with the goal of achieving bend overtaking in the semiconductor field and achieving complete autonomy from R&D to design to production, completely escaping dependence on international chip giants and creating a complete closed eco-chain around carbon-based chips.

The agreement stipulates the respective R&D obligations, ownership of the various parts of the patent after the completion of the project, ownership of the right to use the patent, and the respective funding.

The image point is that two of the top semiconductor research institutes in China, Starscream Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Semiconductor Research Institute, took Huawei to upgrade together and made a dragon-tone series of chips based entirely on carbon-based semiconductor technology early, and made at least one dragon-tone.

For Warwick, there is no need to say much about the benefits of getting help from two top research institutions. As for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, because it is a national institution, there is no need to mention the benefits or anything.

For star technology, the benefits are clearly listed in the protocol. This includes the profit sharing of products from the Longteng series of chips, as well as a lump sum payment for scientific research, etc.

“Interesting proposition," put the agreement on the table, and instead of giving an immediate response, the ark said after a while of reflection, "I will take this agreement to my CEO for research, and I will give you an answer in a week? ”

“No problem! Even a little longer is fine, and if you're not happy with what's in the agreement, be sure to let me know straight away and we'll adjust after the meeting. Or else, I'm going to start over, and we're going to sit down for dinner, and we're going to talk about cooperation. ”

“There's nothing to talk about, actually, I'm just a scholar, more suitable for me than a wine table or a lab," Ark laughed, continuing, "but since it involves cooperation at the commercial level, I still have to respect the opinion of my CEO. After all, there are things I don't understand, and the more dashing it is, the worse. ”

After all, this involves not 20 million inputs, but hundreds of millions of dollars in size, and the future of an entire industrial chain.

Making hasty decisions is not good for anyone.

“Then you study it slowly," Director Li stood up with the scientific calculator on a pat on his thigh, laughing, “the protocol was put here, I'm not disturbing you here. ”

“Are you going back now?” Unexpectedly watching Director Li stand up and walk away, I thought he was going to rub a lunch ark anyway, couldn't help but ask, “Go back to Beijing now? ”

“No, I have to go to Ou Province before going back to Beijing," said Director Li, shaking his head, smiling. "You have brought us too much surprise this time. Now it's not just our Bureau. All the departments involved in the industrialization of carbon-based semiconductors are too busy to turn over. There's a lot of work to be done, and I don't have time for this. ”

The ark nodded.

“Then take your time and I won't send you out. ”

“Don't be so polite, I'll be leaving in a minute.” I was about to go to the front door, and Director Li suddenly noticed the pile of paper thrown on the coffee table and asked, “Speaking of which, I've been curious, what have you been researching lately? ”

“Oh, you said that,” I followed Director Li's gaze and saw the stack of papers that I had thrown at the coffee table. Ark laughed and replied with a smile, "It's just a design plan for a lithium battery, you don't have to worry about it. ”

“Oh, Lithium Empty Battery, you're busy...”

Turning and taking two steps, he just walked to Director Li by the front door and suddenly stuck there for a moment.

The next second, he turned back sharply.

“What are you talking about? ”

The old man suddenly turned around and shocked me, and the ark stunned.

“… lithium empty battery, is there a problem? ”

… what is the problem?

Director Li: “???? ”
