What is a rack server? Liang Yuan finally remembered the term Fang Dongxing frequently mentioned. For a computer enthusiast who is not very qualified, Liang Yuan can remember the blade server because of the well-known wow game. The Jiucheng wow server was the top ten supercomputers in the Republic's computing speed, and it can also enter the top 100 in the global supercomputer rankings.

In the past life, before Wow Bar became a distribution center for "shaking, goddess, slap... slap" and completely put on the dog hat, Liang Yuan had posted an inquiry post "About the cost of Jiucheng Blade Server" in the bar, but was watched by countless people. The level of the post bar suddenly changed from Shinjin Town to Karazan, so Liang Yuan was deeply impressed by this blade server.

"Fang Gong, except for tower servers and rack servers, do you have any other structures for supercomputers now?" Liang Yuan asked in a curious look.

"No more. If there is, it is the previous electronic tube structure. After the rise of integrated circuits, it has been eliminated." Fang Dongxing shook his head and said.

"Is there any new technology under development that can make the supercomputer cover more than ten times smaller?" Liang Yuan asked unwillingly.

"It shouldn't be there. Lao Su, have you discovered this new technology recently when you read journals?" Fang Dongxing turned his head and said to Su Liangyu.

Su Liangyu also shook his head and said, "There is no news about this."

"Why is Xiaoyuan interested in this technology?" Su Liangyu asked.

How could a half-toned computer enthusiast like Liang Yuan know that the concept of a blade server was proposed by the American RLX company in 2001. It has established a complete set of executable solutions and standards. For blade servers, the number of computing units contained in a standard cabinet of the same size is eight times that of traditional rack servers, which of course will save a lot of space.

"I wandered around several national libraries in Los Angeles, USA in the first half of the year. I saw articles introducing supercomputers. I remembered that there are three structures. Fang Gong just said that supercomputers only have two structures, and I remembered that article when he said that supercomputers only had two structures and asked casually." Liang Yuan smiled honestly, talking nonsense.

"Xiaoyuan may also regard electronic tube supercomputer as one of the structures." Su Liangyu said with a smile.

Liang Yuan nodded. He recalled the little things about the blade server in his head. Liang Yuan didn't know anything about the principle, but Liang Yuan still knew the general appearance of the product and the main idea of ​​building the blade server. In Liang Yuan's opinion, the blade server was very similar to the folder placed in the file cabinet. He fucked randomly one by one neatly and orderly.

"Lao Su, when I saw that the C2 processor streaming was successful, I forgot about the wafer production line. How many three-inch lines can Shengjing Science Instrument Factory repair?" Liang Yuan decided to put the blade server aside for the time being, and slowly find the right opportunity to penetrate this concept in the future.

"In addition to the normal operation of this line, two lines can be repaired by next summer, but one of them will be scored in the device laboratory. I will change the lines to a mode suitable for their use, and the remaining discarded lines can only be used as spare parts." Su Liangyu said.

"What about the output? What is the yield rate? What is the cost?" Liang Yuan asked with some expectations.

"The three-inch line currently operates can produce 5,000 6,000 wafers per month. It is expected that the output will reach its peak in one year, about 10,000 pieces per month. A perfect three-inch wafer can theoretically cut out 200 c2 processors, but due to the production process, personnel quality and other reasons, the defects on the three-inch wafers currently produced are close to 100, and the yield rate of the c2 processor can barely reach 30%. Su Liangyu said a little embarrassedly.

Even though I have never eaten pork, Liang Yuan has seen the fat pig run away. When I was looking through microcontroller information in my previous life, I occasionally saw news similar to the low yield rate of newly built wafer factories. Liang Yuan was mentally prepared for the yield rate.

"Thirty percent is already very good. I'm ready for single digits. Besides, being able to repair three three-inch lines is equivalent to saving hundreds of millions of yuan in funds. The chip laboratory's performance has far exceeded my estimates." Liang Yuan waved his hand with a smile.

"I won't be like this all the time. I guess it will take one to two years to increase the yield rate to more than 50%. "Su Liangyu was relieved to see Liang Yuan not caring. After all, it is a very brain-consuming thing to explain to an outsider the problem of the yield rate of a newly built semiconductor factory, especially when this outsider is still an investor.

"Including the equipment purchase and personnel are investing, the cost of the C2 processor is less than 400 yuan, and it will drop below 200 in a year." Su Liangyu's voice became lighter when talking about the cost.

For chip laboratories, this C2 processor is equivalent to a pickup. The only thing that can be distributed to the cost is equipment investment and personnel investment. Judging from the current price of 27,000/unit of 286 computers on sale in the Republic, even if the cost is 500 yuan, it will be more than 5 times the profit.

Unfortunately, the c2 processor is not compatible with software under the x86 architecture. The c2 processor that exists alone can be said to be useless. In addition, Liang Yuanzhi is not here, so he can only think about this profit. After all, neither Microsoft nor Intel are easy to mess with. Judging from the future survival environment of the Republic, the difficulty of developing an aircraft engine seems to be less than the difficulty of becoming a software overlord or a processor giant.

"Lao Su, by the end of next year, our chip production will gradually increase from 300,000 pieces per month to 2 million pieces per month. In chip production, we can not only completely separate from Huajing, but also get a part of the remote control chip orders from Factory 257."

Seeing Su Liangyu and Fang Dongxing nodding repeatedly, Liang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I had this idea in summer. Just now, Lao Su came to report the good news, and the chip laboratory also achieved phased results. I feel that the time is almost ripe."

"Lao Su, Fang Gong, I plan to remove the chip laboratory from Yuan Kerry, Hong Kong and set up an independent high-tech company."

Liang Yuan waved his hand and interrupted the two people's questions and continued: "The main reason for the split is to consider the promotion of a series of processors such as C2 processors and subsequent C3. In the future, sales engineers go to the factory to negotiate, and they can't say that we are from a certain laboratory, as this can easily give people the impression that our products are immature."

"I know what you care about most is scientific research funds. Although a new company has been established, I am still responsible for investing the scientific research funds until the chip laboratory has a large amount of cash and a stable source of cash, this one remains unchanged."

Liang Yuan split the chip laboratory out to prepare for the storm next year. The Republic and the United States are destined to turn against each other. At that time, the f14 fighter jets entering China will definitely be mentioned. It is definitely not important to have Grumman deeply rooted in the United States. But it is hard to say whether Yuanjia will be hit by a blow.

Although the Qilian Mountains made the East Pacific company as a pretext in front, it is safer to lose weight in time during the risk period. It split all the companies under Hong Kong Yuanjia, and Yuanjia, which is left with only the shell, will be wandering around in places like the Solomon Islands. In a few years, it will be much safer.

"After the New Year, not only you, but also my mother will take it out. I have other uses of Yuanjia," Liang Yuan explained in detail.

"What's the name of the company that was demolished?" Su Liangyu subconsciously glanced at Ning Wanjia, who was sitting far away, and asked with a smile.

As the little girl's consciousness awakened, Ning Wanjia was less and less when she was staying by Liang Yuan as if no one was around. Seeing Su Liangyu look at him, a trace of scorching color quickly surged from the little girl's neck.

"Hong Kong Basic Electronics and Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd., what do you think?" Liang Yuan said word by word.

"Hong Kong-based power collection..., not bad." Su Liangyu summarized a company abbreviation full of Hong Kong flavor.

Since Liang Yuan's determination to invest in the semiconductor industry remains unchanged, he doesn't care about changing the company's name, Su Liangyu and others. Moreover, with the production of the wafer fab, the name of chip laboratory is really a bit small.

Liang Yuan, Su Liangyu, Fang Dongxing and others had been together for a long time. They talked for three or four hours until late at night. They said goodbye and left the 909 community.

"Xiaoyuan, you are so good. You can talk to Lao Su and the others for so long. Aunt Ning was dizzy when she heard it. Is the role of a supercomputer so great? Will the world in the future really become like you said?" Tang Wan closed the door and said with a smile.

"I'm just talking nonsense about science fiction novels. Lao Su said I think it should be the same. After all, Lao Su is considered a top expert in the semiconductor industry." Liang Yuan replied uncontrollably.

"It's not because you are the God who spends money, so of course they won't expose you." Ning Wanfei hit Liang Yuan's confidence.

"Xiaoyuan, I found that the Science and Technology Park is wrong. Look at this C2 chip, I just measured it. It is a square with a side length of 14mm, with an area of ​​196 square millimeters, and a three-inch wafer has an area of ​​only 4,500 square millimeters. No matter how you divide it, you can't divide 200 C2 chips." Ning Wanjia ran to Liang Yuan and said with her fingers.
