Super military empire

"It is true. Although we have studied molybdenum-based chips for more than ten years, and have been used in aerospace, but the global reserves of molybdenum are small, and the output is relatively small, and the production of molybdenum-based chips needs to be used Rare earth elements, as a result, make it impossible to appear on the market on a large scale, or even replace the current silicon-based chips..." Liu Yijiu never thought that molybdenum-based chips could replace silicon-based chips.

The performance is much higher and the future development prospects are very broad.

But it is difficult to replace silicon-based chips on such a large scale in the entire world.The cost is limited.

"In that case, it is impossible for our molybdenum-based chip research to be used too much in the end?" Xu Huaqing heard Liu Yijiu's words, and his whole person was like a creamy eggplant.

He has always believed that molybdenum-based chips are the future trend to replace silicon-based chips.

Even if molybdenum-based chips will eventually be replaced by carbon-based chips, that would be a long way off.The Ninth Academy has researched graphene, and it has been 30 years now. The scale of the research is so large that the outside world cannot even imagine the existence of such a thing as graphene.

The thickness of a carbon atom determines that the preparation of graphene is very difficult and the cost is very high.

This is why it is obvious that graphene carbon-based chips with better performance can be used in the processors of satellites, missiles, and even aircraft and tanks. The Ninth Institute still uses molybdenum-based chips.

When Yao Bingqian heard this, he even looked at Xu Huaqing proudly. Liu Yijiu's words unintentionally gave them a signal that they could replace Xu Huaqing's team's research.

Otherwise, Liu Yijiu would not say that, would he?

But now all departments involved in this area are discussing this issue.

Liu Yijiu looked at Xu Huaqing. He knew that his words had hit Xu Huaqing very hard. This was an indisputable fact. Of course, he could not lose his confidence in Xu Huaqing.He immediately said to comfort him, "You can’t think so. Molybdenum-based chips have much better performance than silicon-based chips. And our current military use is beginning to expand this application. This fully shows that molybdenum-based chips have previously The role of the research results of the chip..."

"But you also said that molybdenum-based chips cannot have much development prospects..." Xu Huaqing couldn't understand Liu Yijiu's thoughts for a while.

Don't talk about him, even the others are a little unclear.

Right now, isn't there a better choice?

Yao Bingqian can be said to be the most puzzled.

Just now he proudly provoke Xu Huaqing, but Liu Yijiu didn't let him be proud for three minutes, so he poured cold water on him.

"Director Liu, since there is not much prospect, is this a waste of funds and manpower?" Even though he knew that this would offend many people, Yao Bingqian still asked.Sure enough, as soon as he exited, he saw Xu Huaqing's murderous eyes and quickly explained, "Old Xu, I am not saying that your research was wasted, but I have some doubts about Director Liu's view."

Liu Yijiu looked at Xu Huaqing, his eyes narrowed and he didn't say anything.

Xu Huaqing's face turned into a pig liver color. Liu Yijiu said that he could bear it, but Yao Bingqian said that he was not happy.

Just as he was about to refute, Liu Yijiu spoke, "Since you have doubts, you can express your doubts."

Liu Yijiu's face was still calm, but his tone became much heavier than before.

As you can imagine, his mood is not too good.

Yao Bingqian naturally knew that Liu Yijiu's words were expressing dissatisfaction with him. Regardless of this question, he felt that he would always be entangled by this idea in the future.

"This is not for a certain project, but the overall situation of our Ninth Institute. Many people should be aware that our Ninth Institute not only has overall key projects, but also has many researchers' own private projects... these projects, It is gradually increasing every year, consuming our huge research funds, but not too many breakthroughs have been made, and fewer can be converted into production technologies. Our technical operation team operates all technical projects of our base..." Yao Bingqian expressed his doubts.

When Xu Huaqing heard these words of Yao Bingqian, he immediately understood that what this guy said before was indeed not aimed at their project.

But everyone is wondering about the decision of the base.

When the base was in good condition, there was no problem.

But now, the base is not as good as it used to be today, and the situation is much worse.

Not to mention that the good days of selling weapons and equipment are gone. Even if they are still exporting weapons and equipment on a large scale, the Ninth Academy can only get a part of the profits. The other parts not only have to be divided by the military, but also left to the production units. Part of...

The Ninth Institute holds hundreds of billions of dollars in funding, and the people below are not clear.

In the eyes of most people, their Ninth Court now has to tighten their belts and live their lives, becoming landlords with no surplus in their families.

The management committee of the Ninth Institute began to tighten the approval of project funds, which proved this situation.

Under such circumstances, the Ninth Academy still has huge personal projects. These projects are not the projects established by the Ninth Academy Base, but the projects carried out by the base researchers themselves. They may be related to their research projects or may be related to them. Has nothing to do with the research project.

These projects are also consuming the funds of the Ninth Academy.

According to many people's thinking, if these individual projects are cancelled, the Ninth Institute will save a lot of project funds, so as to prevent their large-scale projects from being affected.

Xu Huaqing’s question is the doubt of the project leader and project team whose funds have been compressed for the entire base.

Liu Yijiu sighed, and sure enough, what should come is still unavoidable.

If he hadn’t been prepared for this, he would definitely not be able to answer this question. Did he tell these guys that we are shrinking project research funding just to put pressure on you, so that you can get something faster under pressure? The result?

The true purpose cannot be said.

After clearing his throat, Liu Yijiu said, "Is this everyone's question?"

Nodding affirmatively, Liu Yijiu said with a smile, "Have you ever thought about it? In this mountain, besides doing project research, what do you do after get off work?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Liu Yijiu did not explain what they would do after get off work as they thought, but continued, “The characteristics of our Ninth Academy are well known to everyone. We don’t necessarily need to see results soon, just like graphene’s. How many years have we conducted the research? It has been 30 years since the first discovery of graphene as a material. If we can't see the results, we will not invest. There will be the current situation?"

"Of course, this has nothing to do with personal projects. Who can guarantee that there is no such thing as graphene in our personal projects?" Liu Yijiu became serious, "Scientific research, even if there is only one We can’t give up on this possibility. What we need is the organization of key project units. Every project requires more people to carry out basic expansion research. The investment in graphene is like this. Now who can find one in the entire base Division has nothing to do with this material? Can’t you find it? But is the research of our base enough? Not enough! We need more units to study, why up to now, we still keep graphene confidential, After going out of Daba Mountain, I didn't even hear it? Because this kind of material is related to our entire country and beyond the world!"

Any kind of technology requires countless technical applications and research to support it.

Just like the development of computers, there are countless companies developing software to support the development of computers in the entire world. There are also a large number of hardware units for research and development, and many accessory units...

Liu Yijiu's reason is not strong enough, but it can be justified.

"I know that funding cuts are difficult for everyone to accept within a short period of time, but I hope you think about the units outside the mountain, how much their funding is, although their research and development speed is much slower than ours..." Director Liu said. Diverted everyone's attention.

Even if the funding is cut, the units of the Ninth Academy have too much research funding compared to those outside the mountain.

What's more, research funding is still being increased in proportion each year, but it is not that easy for each project leader to feel that a new project should be established as before.

"More projects require us to have more researchers. At the same time, we also need to have more research equipment and funds. This seriously detracts from our research capabilities. The management committee also took this issue into consideration before doing so. Made such a decision..." Liu Yijiu did not intend to continue entangled here, but returned the topic to the topic of the meeting. "What we are discussing this time is about the memristor, a component with special performance. Applications in the field of artificial intelligence..."

Liu Yijiu said so, what can everyone do?

Artificial intelligence is also one of the key projects of the Ninth Academy.

This piece is related to more advanced industrial robots, to the development of future networks, and to more advanced capabilities of weaponry.

With the development of weapons and equipment technology, the use of computers in various equipment has become more and more extensive, and it is more related to the advanced nature of equipment performance. How can we not pay attention?

"According to our research on the memristor, we can use this element as the basis to develop a technology like a neural network..." Under Liu Yijiu's gesture, Yao Bingqian began to introduce the memristor they developed. The core of the chip, a model for processing various data.

To impress Liu Yijiu, this thing is definitely not useless, nor does it have any potential, even if the potential is small.
