In addition, due to the limitations of the times and factors including economic benefits, many excellent studies will be forgotten.

To give a simple example, the Hanxin incident that was exposed only a few years ago has had a very long-term impact on the entire Chinese chip industry.

So far, there are only a handful of scholars and companies in China who have access to chip research and development.

Projects of this type rarely receive financial support...

…………

Fang Nian quickly flipped through the two piles of information and looked satisfied.

"Senior Cheng gave me a big gift!"

"The internship department currently has only two projects that can be invested in in June. The information given by Senior Cheng is basically suitable for investment."

Hearing this, Wen Ye raised his eyes and blurted out subconsciously: "Is this... so exaggerated?"

"That's not true." Gu Yu also said.

These materials were compiled by them. The internship department provided a total of 62 project materials, distributed under more than a dozen first-level disciplines, and the proportion was too low.

Fang Nian smiled and said: "I'm talking about the present. Some projects may be invested in the future."

"Secretary Wen, please remember, #109 Fudan's cross-research project on mathematics and algorithms, #137 Shanghai Jiao Tong University system underlying architecture research project arranges investment."

Wen Ye nodded and took note.

Then Fang Nian marveled: "Senior Cheng gave me a total of 16 project materials, and there are 10 projects that I can invest in;

If divided by disciplines, it includes engineering, science, chemistry, physics, etc., tsk..."

After sighing, Fang Niancai said one by one:

"They are #201 Harbin Institute of Technology Complete Independent Intellectual Property Instruction Set Research Project, #202...

#209 Extreme Ultraviolet Light Source Imaging Research Project of Changguang Institute of Light, #210 Independent Matrix Factory Software Research Project of University of Science and Technology of China;

#215 XJTU Analog-Digital Circuit Simulation Software Independent Research Project.”

While listening to Fang Nian's words, Wen Ye quickly wrote them down.

Wen Ye and the others negotiated these numbers among themselves and came up with them in batches.

The first batch in May is #XX, the one in June is #1XX, and the one provided by Cheng Qian is #2XX.

It's quite easy to distinguish.

After Fang Nian finished speaking, Wen Ye frowned and said in confusion.

"Mr. Fang, didn't we invest in an instruction set project last time?"

Hearing this, Fang Nian explained with a smile.

"It's different. The project submitted to Jiaotong University last time was based on extended research on the fifth generation standard of simplified instruction set, which is completely different from the route taken by Harbin Institute of Technology."

After a pause, Fang Nian added: "I'm not telling you, Mi Wen, I think you should also understand that the cutting-edge development direction must be related to computing science and other majors, so you should understand some basic knowledge."

As he spoke, Fang Nian changed the subject and said sincerely: "I don't know how Mr. Cheng, a master of philosophy, knows so many projects related to computing science, even friends from the Changguang Institute."

Then he looked puzzled and said: "I remember that the Changguang Institute started research on extreme ultraviolet light source imaging in the last century, but there are still omissions."

Before Wen Ye could speak, Fang Nian added: "There are several projects that must be focused on, such as the independent matrix factory software, which is to localize MATLAB software;

If it can really succeed, the economic benefits will be considerable, and it will also be very helpful for the future layout of the frontier;

There is also Xi'an Jiaotong University's analog-to-digital circuit simulation software. The reason is the same as above. I guess they want to localize the EWB software."

After Fang Nian finished speaking, Lu Weiyu, who had not spoken yet, raised a question.

"Since there are already ready-made products available, why do you spend capital to support these localization projects?"

Fang Nian glanced at Lu Weiyu and said kindly: "You must have something before you can move forward."

Hearing this, Lu Weiyu's thoughts changed and she understood: "No wonder so many people say that Mr. Fang has a long-term vision, I understand!"

"Actually, it's a very simple truth. Only by having an independent and controllable layout of the industrial chain can it be easy and simple." Fang Nian said calmly.

If it were 2020, many Chinese would have heard of the term EUV lithography machine.

Because there is only one company in the world that can produce EUV lithography machines, China basically has no chance to buy them.

The Chinese translation of EUV is extreme ultraviolet.

If anyone knows a little more deeply, they will know that in 2020, ASML, the only company in the world that can produce EUV lithography machines, only started focusing on EUV research in 2012.

By then, the latest EUV lithography machine will be worth one or two billion US dollars, and there will still be an infinitely long queue.

Fang Nian knew better. In 2012, ASML was not wealthy, with a market value of only 20 billion;

Use 25% of the shares to invite major customers to make joint investments, mainly for 18-inch wafer lithography and EUV.

It’s just that at that time, Intel, TSMC, Samsung, etc. were not optimistic about EUV.

Although Intel subscribed for 15%, 10% of it was for 18-inch wafer lithography, and only 5% was an investment in EUV.

TSMC subscribed for 5%, Samsung thought for a long time and only subscribed for 3%, giving up 2%.

Around 2015, as soon as the two-and-a-half-year lock-in period expired, TSMC hurriedly sold all its shares in ASML because EUV was still a "dream" that was very technically difficult.

Due to the difficulty in producing 18-inch wafers, Intel was not interested in investing in this investment. Subsequently, it reduced its holdings by half every 2 to 3 years, and finally sold out all of them.

Samsung is the least optimistic about EUV, so it invested the last and subscribed the least. Even in 2016, it still chose to reduce its holdings by half.

Therefore, at this point in time in 2010, the current energy in the world's lithography field is still focused on various explorations in DUV (deep ultraviolet).

Including finding ways to perform immersion lithography, multiple exposures, etc., because the original DUV limit can only support lithography of the 90nm process.

If it were 2020, many people must have heard that some schools, including Harbin Institute of Technology, cannot use MATLAB.

If it were 2020, many people must have heard of the endless bans.

If it were 2020, many people would also know that if it were ten years ago, it would be easier to catch up...

Fang had heard these for years, so he expressed his views firmly and strongly to his partners:

It is better to have a father and a mother than to have one yourself.

At this point in time in 2010, it is part of Fang Nian's ideal to fully intervene in various industries.

After all, cutting-edge has to live up to its name.

So it doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not…

After closing all the documents, Fang Nian pondered for a moment and said, "Mi Wen, please remember..."
