Chapter 203 Split
At night... Oh no, it's Beijing time at night. You can't feel the change of time in the space station.
Lin Ju's room is in the core module of Yungong. With the current operating posture of the space station, the porthole is just facing the earth, and the scenery is MAX.
However, even as a boss, there is nothing special about the layout of his room. Only the sleeping bag is new.
What is it like to sleep in space? Anyway, it's not easy to fall asleep.
Even if there is a single bed, because there is no gravity at all, it doesn't matter whether the material of this bed is Simmons or steel plate. The purpose is just to fix the sleeping bag and create a feeling of bedroom on earth.
At least from a physical point of view, sleeping in a small bedroom is no different from sleeping on the wall like ISS.
But mentally, it's much worse. The private space of a small bedroom can give people a huge sense of security and reassurance, and make people feel that they are enjoying space itself at any time.
It's like Lin Ju likes to sleep facing the porthole every night. If he is lucky, he can see the huge earth hanging in front of him, which gives him a unique sense of peace of mind.
However, he had not slept yet. Instead, he was making a video call with Guo Shen on the ground. The content was naturally related to the recent ternary computer.
Guo Shen: "According to the plan, we have already started applying for underlying patents. There are more than 7,600 patents in total, which are enough for us to control the future of ternary from the source. I think about 70% of the technology does not need to be disclosed for the time being. This is an unfamiliar field. They are not that fast."
Lin Ju: "You can do it. I am assured that you can do it. By the way, journals, how are our own journals prepared?"
Since preparing to open the ternary system to the market, Lin Ju, who has a huge number of patents and papers, has come up with an idea to use Xinyuan's absolute advantage in the field of ternary system to support new scientific journals.
Not to mention the comprehensive ones like SCI and Nature, just the computer and chip technology alone can be fully supported by the ternary technology in hand.
Moreover, Xinyuan did not plan to promote it independently, but borrowed the skin of the Aerospace Development Commission.
The China Aerospace Development Journal (JAD) was established through the Aerospace Development Committee. The first journal was published last month. The content of the submission was some innovative technologies for the An-1250 special tire.
Guo Shen knew that his boss valued the Journal of Development, and hurriedly said:
"I have submitted the basic paper on ternary computer technology to both JAD and the world's classic journals, but the subsequent content will only be published in JAD, in a semi-open mode."
The Journal of Development is not a public journal. It can only be subscribed after obtaining the qualification granted by the Journal Management Committee established by the Aerospace Development Committee. This qualification can only be obtained by relevant practitioners, companies, and individuals with academic achievements after meeting the conditions.
Other aspects are naturally managed by others, and they are not comprehensive.
JAD can only be considered relatively important. The most important thing is the communication in the internal forum of Xinyuan. It is always about nuclear reactors and interstellar navigation. It is nonsense. If it is leaked, it will scare people to death.
Lin Ju: "There is one more thing. We can split the microelectronics department now."
Guo Shen: "Let them work on their own?"
Lin Ju: "That's not the case. The microelectronics department is split out for easier management. It's too troublesome for Xinyuan Aerospace Power to manage it. Split them into two parts. One part will still be engaged in professional aerospace chips, and the other part will focus on civilian use. The former should remain in the base.
However, the patents will not be transferred and will remain in the aerospace company, so the split part can accept financing. It is best to bring in the domestic semiconductor industry chain."
Guo Shen: "In other words... we don't interfere with the operation of the new semiconductor company?"
Lin Ju: "If you eat too much, you will burst your stomach."
...
"Establish a new semiconductor company? Who are you going to bring in?"
In Beijing, the superior met with Wang Minjiang, the director of the microelectronics department of Xinyuan Aerospace Power, who is also the future CEO who will be "driven out" of Xinyuan.
In fact, many people inside are not willing to split the microelectronics department and make it independent, because the conditions of the parent company are so good. If it is separated, it will become a stepmother's raising, right?
In the end, it was Lin Ju who made the decision. The engineers who were assigned could choose to retain their researcher status at Xinyuan Aerospace Power Research Institute, participate in projects when necessary, and generally retain the benefits of being an employee of the parent company.
Wang Minjiang joined Xinyuan last year. He previously worked as the general manager and IC engineer at Infineon Semiconductor, a German company. He was lured to the base by the high salary and was promoted from C-level to B-level. He can completely take charge of his own work.
Now Lin Ju has communicated with his superiors, indicating that he is willing to promote the commercialization of ternary technology, and then rushed Wang Minjiang to Beijing, preparing to do a big thing at once with the help of the Science and Technology Commission.
Wang Minjiang: "New Semiconductor Company can obtain long-term patent authorization from Xinyuan for more than 15 years, and the fee is not high. As long as the development is good in the future, these patents will definitely continue to be granted, so there is no need to worry about this.
As for the composition, building a new system is a very large process. I suggest that all the upstream and downstream industrial chains that can be controlled should be brought in."
Superior: "I don't understand the professional technology very well. Let me ask a question. If I need ternary chips and software to replace at least 30% of the domestic demand, how long will it take you? With unlimited support."
Wang Minjiang: "In fact, the speed of semiconductor advancement mainly depends on the market. If the chip industry and ecosystem development can be promoted at the same time... within one year, computers and mobile phones equipped with ternary chips will definitely be able to complete basic tasks such as word processing." In one year, professional design will be enough for work, and in another year, the entertainment industry will be able to be cultivated.
In five years, with full support, we should be able to make the domestic ternary system rival the current traditional system, and if we work hard in the future, we may surpass it. "
Three years, if it is just word processing, then one year is enough, which can replace the computers and mobile phones used by the government.
The superior was very satisfied with this figure. It took five years to make up for the classes that were missed for 30 years. This speed was already very good. He asked again:
"My experts say ternary computers are safe, is that true?"
Wang Minjiang: "Well... it's almost like this. As long as the intrusion comes from the binary network, the probability of success in entering the ternary computer to steal information is infinitely close to 0. It's like a bearded man entering a women's bathhouse. Be recognized.
Moreover, the entire ternary system, from the lowest level chip to the system to the software, can be fully controlled as long as you want to do it, eliminating backdoors from the root. "
Like these foreign chip manufacturers, who can be sure that they do not leave any hardware backdoors? With tens of billions of transistors, is it difficult to find a small vulnerability?
These vulnerabilities don't matter to ordinary people, but in some cases they can be extremely fatal.
How did Aramco paralyze Iraq’s defense system during the Gulf War? Directly through the back door of the fax machine used by the Ministry of National Defense, the opponent's maneuvers were clearly understood, causing them to fall into chaos from within.
The AMD Bulldozers and Cores currently in use are 100% sure to have similar backdoors.
