"Relying on the r2000 chip." Liang Yuan repeated what Ning Lei had just said, and then smiled meaningfully.

"Uncle Ning, although we have obtained the technology transfer of mips for R2000 chips, the outside world does not understand the details of the transfer agreement. In the settlement agreement with mips, Yuanjia paid a huge price. The seven basic patents originally belonged to us on mps architecture technology are completely owned by mips."

As Liang Yuan said this, the door rang, and two little girls and Xiong Weixin carrying the thermos came in together. Only then did Liang Yuan realize that half an hour had passed.

The two little girls were very familiar with the confidentiality regulations of the troops since they were young. After entering the house, they didn't ask much. Instead, Ning Wanjia smiled and handed Liang Yuan a washed apple, and then the lady and Ning Wanfei sat side by side on Ning Lei's bed.

After taking an apple handed over by Ning Wanjia, Liang Yuan took a bite and continued: "Uncle Ning, what we have received is the inheritance authorization of the R&D of the r2000 chip. That is to say, we can develop a new generation of processors based on r2000 to cover the patents originally belonged to mips, but it is never allowed to directly produce r2000 and mips to compete, regardless of whether mips enters the country's market and industry."

"So, even if we get back all the technology of the r2000 chip in a few days, it is unlikely to apply it directly if we want to modify it slightly, unless we make breakthrough changes based on r2000."

"When making this change, Lao Su and the others estimated that the R&D cost will not be mentioned for the time being. Just replace the production equipment and replace the 5-micron production line with a 2-micron production line suitable for the production of r2000 derivative processors. This investment will cost at least US$40 million. I wonder how much funds the National University of Defense Technology intends to spend for joint development?" Liang Yuan asked with a smile.

If Liang Yuan had not pinched the pain point of the mips in his hand and used a large amount of US dollars to open the way, with Americans' business shrewdness, how could he transfer his core technology and cultivate potential competitors?

When Fang Dongxing transferred the basic patent and obtained the r2000 processor, mips keenly seized the opportunity and opened this technology transfer agreement similar to bet. The core of the agreement was to force Yuanjia to continue to develop the next generation of risc processors based on the mips architecture, otherwise even if the authorization of the r2000 processor would be allowed to watch.

To continue to develop the next generation of Risc processors, Mips has been in progress in research and development for two years. If nothing unexpected happens, the r3000 processor will be officially launched in the first year. This is equivalent to setting a technical gap for Yuanjia. Mips has proposed this condition to be very confident in its own technology and firmly believes that it will block Yuanjia from a technical barrier.

Liang Yuan, Su Liangyu and others knew the calculations of MiPS. Originally, the chip laboratory had already started the research and development of the next generation processor - C3, and obtained R2000 only to shorten the development process of C3. Therefore, for the problem raised by MiPS, neither Liang Yuan nor Su Liangyu, Fang Dongxing regarded it as a headache.

Su Liangyu and others agreed to MiPS because they had confidence in their R&D technology, and Liang Yuan even wanted to create a multi-core processor originating from supercomputer parallel computing technology in advance, and did not take the MiPS betting agreement seriously.

However, Su Liangyu was still a little nervous about the proposal of Hong Kong Basic Electronics to introduce a 2.0 micron wafer production line. After all, Liang Yuan had already said that the group would not follow the wafer process technology, and the investment of US$40 million is by no means an easy amount to make decisions.

What surprised Su Liangyu was that Liang Yuan did not mention the original words at all. He just proposed a new equipment plan for Basic Electronics, marked the detailed procurement time period, and planned to start the entire production line procurement in 1990, and only some laboratory equipment will be updated this year.

Liang Yuan’s failure to mention the funding issue with Su Liangyu and others does not mean that he is not mentioning it with Ning Lei. This is a critical period for the restructuring of the Republic. Prices and price opening have been implemented in the past two years. Especially after this year, voices against reform and opening up and prevent peaceful evolution are increasing.

Faced with the coming harsh political environment, how could Liang Yuan not prepare for it?

It was obvious that Ning Lei did his homework quite well. He kicked the ball back to Liang Yuan and said directly: "The National University of Defense Technology is a regular military sequence. It does not have the twists and turns of AVIC. Just like the Air Force's United Airlines, Xiaoyuan will do whatever he says."

Ning Lei knows the most about the ins and outs of the f14 fighter. Therefore, Ning Lei knows the thought that Liang Yuan spent on the overhaul of the f14 fighter. As a result, after the Nansha battle, AVIC took advantage of the situation and overturned the tacit agreement. It was pure nonsense to say that Liang Yuan had no resentment.

However, with Ning Lei's temperament, he would definitely not use his own influence to change anything. Therefore, he felt guilty when he saw Liang Yuan letting go with great knowledge of advance and retreat. Ning Lei and Tang Wan, the "New Year's red envelope" mentioned to Liang Yuan just now, used a lot of thought.

"But Uncle Ning tells you that from now until three years later, the annual scientific research funding of the Computer Branch will not exceed 4 million yuan. Except for leaving the meal money, Xiaoyuan looked at it and arranged it." Ning Lei added with a smile.

After hearing Ning Lei's almost rogue supplement, Liang Yuan's mouth was full of bitterness, similar to the trick of AVIC. Liang Yuan felt secretly happy when he got a trick and had no scruples. But the more Ning Lei did this, the more Liang Yuan felt he was restrained.

Just like United Airlines under the name of the Air Force, it is refreshing and generous without mentioning any requirements. Liang Yuan had to rack his brains to pull United Airlines into his future development framework and seek a sustainable development future. Otherwise, it would be easier to go to Figure 154 directly, convenient, fast and easy.

More than 10 million yuan in three years, it looks like a huge sum of money in the late 1980s. Unfortunately, in the face of the extremely expensive semiconductor industry, it is not even qualified to be stuck in the gaps. Not to mention anything else, the current 286-level computers in China are above 20,000 yuan, and the 386-level computers are even close to 40,000 yuan.

Compared with personal computers, the components that can be saved by supercomputers at this time are about just monitors and floppy drives. If a 386-level chip is used as the main computing chip of a supercomputer, the cost of a single computing node is still more than 30,000 yuan. It is really easy to build a whole supercomputer for more than 300 million yuan.

Thinking about the time when I saw the report in my previous life, the first generation of the Republic's Galaxy computer developers used ordinary soldering irons and circuit boards to save costs and assemble Galaxy 1 supercomputers in almost all manual ways, breaking the foreign monopoly on the Republic's technology. Liang Yuan could not say anything. As a new human being who has experienced the baptism of information explosion, Liang Yuan had long understood the deepest meaning in the sentence "Only the nation is the world."

Like Huawei in the new century, the United States still lives very well. In addition to the company's own struggle, relying on the increasingly powerful republic is also an important factor that cannot be ignored.

Ning Lei looked at Liang Yuan's entire eyebrows with amusement. He gently patted Liang Yuan's shoulder and said, "In recent years, we have never interfered with Xiaoyuan's independent judgment of affairs. Uncle Ning will not make an exception today. No matter what Xiaoyuan makes, Uncle Ning will accept it happily. As long as Xiaoyuan slowly learns to understand, the greater the ability of a person, the greater the responsibility."

"Uncle Ning, this matter is very complicated. The focus of my concern is not all about funds..." Liang Yuan sighed.

There must be advantages and disadvantages when closely linked to the Republic's ** side, but for Liang Yuan at present, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. There are enough state-owned enterprises in the Republic that charge abroad. It is no big deal to have more Liang Yuan, but it is different if a large private enterprise emerges. At least after the United States closes the door to cooperation, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, technology introductions and other aspects will be treated as unavailable by the Republic's state-owned enterprises.

After pondering for a long time, Liang Yuan slapped his forehead and said, "Uncle Ning, Hong Kong Basic Electronics and Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Company is a semiconductor manufacturer focusing on the field of civil high-tech. Its inherent commercial characteristics are not suitable for involving top-secret fields such as thermal nuclear weapons."

"However, the importance of what Uncle Ning said is not an exaggeration. Although Yuan Jia's small arms and calves are very limited, it is still possible to express his feelings."

Ning Lei smiled and seemed to Ning Wanfei asking for an orange, then listened to Liang Yuan circle with curiosity.

"In the preliminary market research stage of Yuanjia Supercomputer Plan, Lao Su and his team decided to set up several new companies in the future to integrate various chips produced by basic electronics. Basic electronics only plays the role of manufacturing and research and development of certain functional chips in the group system, and does not involve specific products."

As early as Liang Yuan got in the F14 fighter overhaul line, Liang Yuan discussed with Su Liangyu and others how to avoid the science and technology park itself from bringing a strong military-industrial enterprise color, and finally came up with this avoidance plan that only produces basic components and does not produce the final physical objects.

However, as Yuanjia lost control of the F14 fighter overhaul line, this plan was temporarily put away. Liang Yuan did not expect that he would be brought out to rescue him now.

"After Lao Su's complete acquisition of r2000 chips, the group will set up a large computer manufacturer called Inspur. In the future, the National University of Defense Technology can completely entrust the computer company to place a purchase order for R&D of mainframes. As the owner of the project, it is normal to send technicians to be responsible for the R&D direction of the project structure without deviation.

Ning Lei listened to Liang Yuan's short words and made a very complicated thing that seemed very simple, and asked with a hint of laughter and tears: "You are going to make Uncle Ning dizzy, but why is Xiaoyuan drawing such a big circle for?"

Of course, Liang Yuan cannot say that while avoiding many major troubles based on the future, he also created an inconspicuous hole in the solid Republican industrial procurement system.

For Liang Yuan, the joint technical development does not seem to be pleasant to the words "military procurement".

"Uncle Ning, my purpose is very simple. The National University of Defense Technology should not only lack funds for the research and development of supercomputers. Even if a new company develops supercomputers, the National University of Defense Technology will not have the money to purchase them." Liang Yuan asked seriously.

"Xiaoyuan, if we can really create a supercomputer that meets the requirements, the country will definitely allocate funds to purchase it." Ning Lei said readily.

Liang Yuan curled his lips secretly, thinking that he would not pay for the R&D stage, which was the most risky R&D stage, and it would be a problem of losing funds when the purchase was made.

"Uncle Ning, look, it's all a market economy now, and it's not that true that the National University of Defense Technology is always so poor. So, I feel that it's better to teach people how to fish than to fish." Liang Yuan smiled and approached Ning Lei.

"Oh, Xiaoyuan is promising. Xiaoyuan said so, can you provide the chips for free to the country for use?" Ning Lei said with a loud laugh.

"I think so, but the transfer agreement with MiPS clearly states that Hong Kong Basic Electronics does not grant any enterprise or organization the right to use the MiPS structure. As long as Yuanjia is still engaging in the outside world, this cannot be violated." Liang Yuan casually took the reason for rejection on foreign miPS heads.

"Besides, even if I license the chips to the National University of Defense Technology for free, they will only save tens of millions of scientific research expenses in three years. With the speed of renewal and elimination of the semiconductor industry, the performance of this supercomputer should be lagging behind in three years. At that time, we can't count on Yuanjia."

"Xiaoyuan tell me, is there any good way to solve this problem?" Ning Lei became very interested when he heard Liang Yuan say this. It was not that the military did not understand the importance of supercomputers to the national defense industry, but the military spending is so much every year. If you don't have money in your pocket, it's useless to say anything.

"Uncle Ning, in fact, computing power is essentially a kind of commodity. If we regard the performance of the entire supercomputer as a reservoir, then can we use the faucet to charge the users of the supercomputer according to the actual traffic?" Liang Yuan dug out the common methods of paying for supercomputers in later generations.
