Chapter 1 Genius on the road to crime

"The world has never been short of talents. Many times, 80% of talents have become stepping stones for others. I mean, what reason do you have to let me choose you?"

In the dim factory, a thin cheek smiled bitterly. Looking back on the sarcasm of the mentor at that time, Chen Yuan gradually realized the cruelty of society.

"Yes, I have no money and no background, what can I compare with others?"

If Chen Yuan had a father who was the principal, then the opportunity to enter Jiangcheng Academy of Sciences would be himself, not someone's goddaughter.

As the most authoritative institution in Jiangcheng, Jiangcheng Academy of Sciences is a place where many scientific researchers want to go in.

Being able to work in Jiangcheng Academy of Sciences is equivalent to entering a new class with one foot, no matter what identity and family you were before.

Chen Yuan doesn't have to fall into hiding in the dark factory every day and be a mouse in a sewer.

Looking at the scattered electronic components on the workbench, Chen Yuan prayed in his heart, "System, system, I hope you can give some strength this time. I am really short of money, I lack everything, I am afraid of poverty!"

After Chen Yuan traveled to this world, he naturally obtained the system. Relying on the IQ brought to him by the system, Chen Yuan also got the best place in Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology.

But his life was not against the will of the system.

The reason is very simple. The black technology manufacturing system obtained by Chen Yuan needs to rely on technological points to extract black technology drawings, and then rely on the drawings to purchase and produce the black technology compared to it.

But the problem lies in the fact that you want to obtain a technology point, you need to get it in equal amounts of cash.

The black technology you make yourself makes a profit of 1,000 yuan and you can get 1 technology point.

But this was destined to have a lot of strength from the beginning. From the beginning, he didn't have much technology in his hands and couldn't change any powerful drawings. He could only rely on his brains to make some useless waste inventions such as kitchen knife phone shells, automatic head cutting machines, automatic water drinking machines, and other useless waste inventions.

True high-tech can't do it, and only by doing this kind of thing can you maintain your life like this.

Chen Yuan has taken a path of his own in terms of curiosity.

However, Chen Yuan has taken a good path. In order to open up sales, Chen Yuan posted the products he made online, and unexpectedly became popular.

Many netizens joked that Lao Chen was handmade.

He also said that he was the apprentice of Handicraft Geng.

Although many netizens said that what he made was garbage that didn’t use for dogs, there were really netizens with a strong sense of curiosity to buy it.

In the past few years, Chen Yuan's income from his studies while taking into account his studies has reached 100,000 yuan.

He also saved up 100 technology points.

One hundred technology points seem to be a drop in the bucket, but for Chen Yuan, a person who is in a hurry, it is undoubtedly a timely help.

A novice who had only one chance draws the drawings for 100 points, and Chen Yuan drew the drawings of C-level technology [i10cpu].

In order to collect the R&D capital, Chen Yuan spent all the savings and even borrowed two million in usury. After spending all kinds of thoughts, Chen Yuan could only settle for the second best and develop an i5 chip with a higher nano-process.

Now he is poor and careless.

There is nothing to lose.

Chen Yuan took three steps at a time with dark circles, carefully brought the semi-finished chip into the sterile room and placed it under an electron microscope to organize the line. "This time, I bet the right person in the club, and I bet the wrong person in Gaoqiao jumped into the river!"

Chen Yuan does not have a full industrial chain for high-end chip manufacturing, including but not limited to high-purity silicon crystal manufacturing processes, related manufacturing technologies for lithography machines, bypassing x86 patents but compatible with x86, etc.

I can only find ways to make changes to these difficulties. Fortunately, the drawings given by the system are much simpler than the existing chip production in various complex problems, but he still has to overcome the chip problems.

This is equivalent to challenging the entire chip industry chain with one's own strength.

Fortunately, there are production of photolithography-related technologies in the chip drawings.

Chen Yuan spent a lot of money and energy to rent a company's digital machine tools and other equipment, and he carted out a simple lithography machine.

At present, the most advanced lithography machine that Asml has been put into production is 3400c, and the main shipment model is 3400b. In terms of parameters, the 3400b has a 2nm tilt accuracy, an exposure speed of 20mj/cm2, and 125 wafers can be exposed per hour.

The lithography machine made by Chen Yuan is only as big as a table, and the minimum process is limited to 20nm. In terms of accuracy or process, it cannot be comparable to existing lithography machines, and can only produce twenty wafers per hour.

But this is already rare.

Chen Yuan put the sorted chip aside. The production of chips is never separated from the purification of sand. Silicon is the second richest element in the earth's crust. Deoxygenated sand, especially quartz, contains at most 25% silicon element and exists in the form of silicon dioxide, which is also the basis of the semiconductor manufacturing industry.

And wafers are a conversion from sand to silicon crystals.

Chen Yuan activated the black iron lump in the corner.

This is the first time he has used this "lithography machine" that is not a lithography machine. He even has strong doubts about whether this thing can work.

When he woke up from his sleep the next day, Chen Yuan actually completed the first high-quality imitation i5-4590 in Xiaohei workshop!

"It's done?" Chen Yuan couldn't believe it.

After putting the packaged i5 chip into the machine for testing, Chen Yuan was overjoyed, "The emperor paid off and finally succeeded, finally succeeded!"

At this moment, Chen Yuan finally felt the joy of victory.

But that's not enough.

Chen Yuan spent his savings and only developed an i5 chip, how could he be satisfied? Suddenly, he thought, "Can I eat through the small chip in my hand? It seems very risky, but aren't wealth and honor all come from danger?"

There is no way. Chen Yuan hasn't eaten the rice for three days. Now he has no money to buy steamed buns.

"If possible, I don't want to sell fakes, but I'm really sorry to survive!"

He did it right away, and Chen Yuan contacted a black factory selling fake chips online.

This factory specializes in making fake chips for a living.

The so-called fake chips are just shell products, and they cannot be compared with real chips in terms of performance and quality, and even chips cannot be said to be chips.

But what Chen Yuan valued was not their technology, but the other factory had some of the equipment he needed.

Chen Yuan can solve the core wafer technology himself, but the chip packaging and other R&D processes require a lot of manpower to complete.

This is a cooperation, after all, Chen Yuan cannot complete a large number of chips in a short time with his own strength.

Now his loan is only due in three months.

After several tests, Chen Yuan finally met the other boss offline.

This is a sturdy man in his forties. Although he looks rich, his clothes are very simple. It can be seen that no one in this industry dares to spread rumors too much.

"Boss Liu, have you seen the chips I sent before?" Chen Yuan sent the i5 chip he developed a few days ago. He believed that the other party was sure that he was not joking, otherwise he would not have made an appointment.

Liu Baoquan inserted his left hand into his pocket and rubbed the high imitation i5 chip. His inner shock was self-evident, "I just want to make sure that this chip was really developed by you alone?"

Chen Yuan looked around and nodded by default, "I can guarantee that I believe you already have the answer, otherwise you wouldn't be there today."

"It turns out that a hero is a teenager. Although I don't understand how you did it, I was shocked." Liu Baoquan is not a fool. He used to come from a chip manufacturer. He could tell at a glance that the chips developed by Chen Yuan were very different from those on the market.

Although the appearance is a shell product, under the observation of a microscope, whether the circuit construction and the underlying architecture are completely another chip product, it can achieve the effectiveness of chips of the same level on the market.

The reason why this effect is definitely inseparable from Chen Yuan's optimized design of EDA.

eda is the chip design software.

Many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that the problem of chip development is just the wafer process.

In fact, EDA software can be said to cover all aspects of chips from design to final manufacturing and factory application. EDA software plays a crucial role in each link, especially in the design field.

After the design is completed, the EDA software in the test process is also extremely important. It can evaluate the shortcomings of chip production through online simulation, and then directly correct it online. It avoids exposure of various problems after being put into use. It is indispensable for cost saving and R&D speed.

It can be said that without EDA software, chip design cannot be realized at all.

Even though HiSilicon's chip design strength is indeed at the forefront of the world, if the outside world cuts supplying EDA software, HiSilicon will be like Kirin chips, and even if it has all its abilities, it will not be able to use it.

Chen Yuan solved the dual problems of chips and EDA alone, and also made up for the shortcomings of process technology from the chip design.

Let’s talk about Liu Baoquan. He just owed a lot of debts because of gambling. He had bad intentions in order to make money. He first collected second-hand chip case refurbished and resold it. After he had the principal, he began to develop fake chips.

Although there is no lithography machine in his factory, many fake chips cannot be separated from the acquired discarded chips, but this also makes him make a fortune.

Liu Baoquan is the most suitable partner for Chen Yuan.

Liu Baoquan also needs Chen Yuan, a senior engineer.

"We are friends from now on. People like you, if you don't work in a scientific research institute, you will really waste your talents." Liu Baoquan stretched out his hand in a friendly manner.

"Haha, right? If possible, I want to go to the research institute, but now I just want to make money first."

Thinking of his experiences during this period, Chen Yuan deeply understood how important money is.

Chen Yuan did not shake hands with him. He is now much more mature. Gamblers and black-hearted merchants like Liu Baoquan only have the benefits in their eyes.

There is no need to be intimate when cooperating with such people, just show your value.

With the help of Chen Yuan, Liu Baoquan successfully shipped 100 i5 chips in one week.

Chen Yuan even gave up his studies and spent another two weeks to overcome technical problems and successfully developed fifty i9 chips.

"Engineer Chen, our batch of chips will be available for circulation in the market tomorrow." Liu Baoquan called in the evening.

Chen Yuan nodded, but asked the risk question, "There will be no problem with the sales channel, I mean, try not to let others find it fake."

Liu Baoquan patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I've been in this industry for more than ten years and have not been caught yet. Besides, the chips developed by me are almost exactly the same as real chips, so it's even more impossible to have any trouble."

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Yuan hung up the phone with confidence.

I thought things would go smoothly, but the next day Chen Yuan faced the punishment of being fired.
