Chapter 122 The Company's Comprehensive Price Reduction
Two months after the launch of the 5-nanometer project, the graphene wafer production line began trial production. At the same time, the [-]-nanometer chip production line began to be installed and adjusted.

Standing in the control room of the graphene wafer production workshop, looking down at the busy robots in the workshop, Mr. Wang, an old professor of materials science from a certain university and a recipient of a special national allowance, asked: "Professor Xiaojie, what are you doing?" This should be using chemical vapor deposition to prepare graphene? Are the process conditions mature?"

Mr. Wang is the technical leader in the graphene preparation industry and has rich experience. Cui Yongchang specially sent someone to check on Zhu Jie. The main purpose is to let Mr. Wang's team accept and test the finished products produced in the graphene workshop. .

Zhu Jie nodded and said: "Old Wang, based on your old research, I boldly made improvements to improve production efficiency and effectively reduce production costs. Through computer simulation, the graphene produced has a large area and high quality. , It can be said that how big the nickel film is, I can produce a few layers of graphene with a large area."

"How to ensure the uniformity of graphene?" Wang Lao asked.

"Magnetic field, I added a magnetic field to the preparation machine to ensure the uniformity of the gas in contact with the nickel film." Zhu Jie said with a smile: "As for the specific layout of the magnetic field, I can't say anything."

Another thing that cannot be said is that Zhujie can control the number of layers of graphene through a magnetic field.

"You brat." Elder Wang said with a smile, "I won't ask about your core secret, but you have to keep it a secret."

Zhu Jie nodded in agreement, but he said in his heart: This is a transformation of the robot on the basis of the purchased finished product preparation machine. If you want to know the secret of the magnetic field, you must be able to crack brother's program.Even if you secretly opened the modified preparation machine of your brother, you would not be able to find out the secrets, because anyone can install the coils that generate the magnetic field just like cats and dogs, but can you get the program that controls the coils to generate magnetic fields?That's the same sentence, unless you can crack Brother's program.

Brother's program has self-destruct function and self-explosion function. How can brother not be careful about such a confidential thing?

"Old Wang, it will take a while for this reaction, why don't we go back to the dormitory to rest first? Come back at this time tomorrow, and it should be almost done." Zhu Jie said.

"Can finished graphene be prepared in one day? Is it so fast?" Wang Lao was surprised.

"The magnetic field is still at work." Zhu Jie said: "The magnetic field not only ensures the uniformity of the gas, but also increases the local concentration, so the reaction time is greatly shortened."

Mr. Wang nodded, and took the lead to walk outside the control room. Today Zhu Jie invited him to press the start shape button. Zhu Jie gave this honor to Mr. Wang. This is to be credited to the graphene wafer workshop production log.

The work of pressing the button has been completed, and Mr. Wang did not stop. He knew that the preparation of graphene would take a certain amount of time. As he walked outside the control room, Mr. Wang said: "Call me early tomorrow. I want to witness your Hongmeng Group's first... A piece of graphene produced."

After breakfast on September 9, Zhu Jie invited Mr. Wang to the graphene wafer preparation workshop to witness the production of the first graphene wafer.Graphene has formed an industry in China, mainly used in industries such as mobile devices, aerospace and new energy batteries.There are also companies that are researching and applying it to the manufacture of chips, but they are still in the laboratory stage, or they may already have a mature production process for carbon-based chips, but these companies are not full of silicon-based chips. No graphene chips were brought to market.

Zhu Jie is directly involved in the preparation of wafers, and the 5-nanometer chip production line has begun to be installed, and he is preparing to directly produce 5-nanometer graphene chips, which is unusual.Moreover, Zhu Jie already has picometer-level lithography machine production technology.

The hard work has been greatly rewarded. After Zhu Jie completed the production task of the 5nm lithography machine (the 5nm lithography machine has already been produced, the work that Zhu Jie is about to do is to install the production line of the 5nm chip) , obtained the Kirin processor production technology supporting the Kirin operating system.The chip architecture used by the Kirin processor is even more advanced than the T100.If the T100 architecture is a semi-intelligent architecture with some intelligence, the chip architecture used by the Kirin processor can be called an intelligent architecture.

Changing the architecture is a piece of cake for Zhu Jie. In one night, Zhu Jie can "knock out" the relevant programs through the brain-computer integration device.

Moreover, the chip used by the Kirin processor is at the picometer level. Correspondingly, Zhu Jie has also obtained the picometer-level chip preparation technology, including the picometer-level lithography machine production technology.However, Zhu Jie does not plan to take it out for the time being. With picometer-level lithography machine production technology, Zhu Jie plans to slowly improve the precision of the lithography machine.It doesn't work if you don't improve slowly. The production technology is there, but the corresponding materials are not yet available. It needs to be "researched" by Zhu Jie's Institute of Metal Materials.

In the next step, Zhu Jie plans to start with the production of 2nm lithography machines. After the metal smelter in Liangzi District is completed, the stability of the produced alloy materials can meet the requirements of 2nm lithography machines.

On the way to the graphene wafer fabrication plant, Li Yueming told Zhu Jie: "Hangan company announced last night that the ban will be lifted, and the prices of chips and processors will be reduced in an all-round way. Several companies have followed suit and announced price cuts."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Jie said, adjusted his glasses, and asked Qiuqiu to search for relevant content on the Internet.

"Some large monopolistic companies in the West use the usual method. When others don't have it, they sell it at a high price. Only I have the product, and I like to buy it or not. Wait for others to spend a lot of money to develop the same type and performance. After the product was released, they lowered the price and defeated competing companies with price wars, making it impossible for competing companies to recover their research and development costs, thus losing the ability to continue to compete with them. After our Hongmeng 2021 came out, they lost the means to suppress us and could only take A means of cutting prices, dreaming of breaking us down."

At this time, Zhu Jie had already known the general situation through Qiuqiu, and the company announced on the official website a notice of price cuts for all products. Companies such as Autu and June followed up, and the prices were reduced by almost half on average.

"How do domestic companies react?" Zhu Jie asked.

"There is no reaction yet. I am worried that the company's news has just been released, and they probably have no time to respond." Li Yueming said: "However, according to my analysis, they may wait and see for a while to see our reaction. Under normal circumstances, They don't have a problem with three or five months of inventory."

Zhu Jie thought for a while and said, "Let Jiang Bicheng arrange for someone to conduct cost accounting. If there is a price war, what is our bottom line price?"

Li Yueming nodded and said: "I have informed Mr. Jiang and asked them to come up with a response plan. In addition, I also invited President Wang Hao and Director Yang Ning of SMIC to come and visit our graphene wafer fab and 5 Nanochip production line.”
