Chapter 454 Reverse Engineering

Zhou Shuo said goodbye to He Xi and Zhou Jiajia. This meeting can only be said to be private communication, so of course there is no need to welcome and send off the show with too much fanfare.

The two of them stopped two taxis in a low-key manner and left the cafe. Zhou Shuo also got on a Santana that he temporarily transferred from the company's convoy.

His old Cherokee runs long distances and outdoors well, but it is a bit swaggering when driving in the city. Now he has used Ma Bochang to establish his power and slapped Ma Boyan in the face. As a result, all the information about Zhou Shuo has now become a hot topic.

As his car, the old Cherokee has always been the object of attention.

Zhou Shuo drove back to the headquarters of Fanhan Group. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he felt an unusual atmosphere.

Two soldiers in green military uniforms stood meticulously at the elevator entrance. When they saw him, they immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, my name is Lu Ge." A soldier with two bars and three stars on his shoulders stretched out his hand enthusiastically. Before Zhou Shuo could react, he had already pulled his hand and shook it.

"Hello Colonel Lu, is there anything you need to ask me?" Zhou Shuo asked inexplicably.

"You don't know me, but I know you!" Lu Ge said with a kind smile: "I mention someone, do you still remember it. Director Huang of the Institute 767, this time I was entrusted by him to ask Mr. Zhou for help!"

"If you have anything, let's go in and talk about it." Zhou Shuo looked around. Although this floor was the office of the group's senior management, it was inconvenient to talk to two soldiers from the army in the corridor. After that, he took two steps quickly, pushed open the door of his office, and let the two people in.

"Please have tea, two of you." Zhou Shuo's secretary Tang Ya looked at the two soldiers curiously. Fanhan Group is a pure commercial organization and really can't think of any connection with the troops.

"Okay, you go out first. There is nothing important to do, please help me push the arrangements behind first." Zhou Shuo waved his hand and drove Tang Ya out.

Long before Fanhan Group obtained the lithography machine production line, Director Huang from the Institute of 767 had personally visited Empression City and went to the Ministry of Electronics Industry Hu's relationship.

The four lithography machines say that there is no more or less, and even the cost is 20 million yuan. In the state of tight military expenditure on large-scale disarmament, the 767th Institute can still take out such a large sum of money. This shows how important the tasks it undertakes.

Although Zhou Shuo did not know much about the specific situation of the Institute 767, he also felt that the water was very deep.

When these two soldiers met, they said that they were recommended by Director Huang. Zhou Shuo would not be wrong if he was careful.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, let's introduce it in detail first." Lu Ge pointed to himself and the soldiers next to him, took out an officer's certificate from his arms, handed it over and said, "We are from the C3i Planning Office jointly established by the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and the General Logistics Department. I am responsible for this contact with you. As for the person sitting next to me, you can just call him Section Chief Liu. His responsibilities are not to the outside. So I won't introduce them."

Zhou Shuo took Lu Ge's officer certificate and looked carefully. He frowned and said, "Col. Lu, it's not that I don't believe you, but I don't know whether this officer certificate is true or not. Can you let me call to verify it?"

Originally, Lu Ge could have a relationship with Director Huang of the 767 Institute, so this person should be trusted. But the C3i Planning Office is too big, and the country has invested 360 billion yuan. Can there be any trivial matters if you dare to show up with this title?

Zhou Shuo didn't want to become a laughing stock on the Internet in more than ten years. The chairman of the Danghan Group was cheated. That must be super news. Moreover, the consulting industry in later generations is so developed, he has seen many funny cases of impersonating soldiers. It only takes a little time to verify a document. It is better than making a fool of himself.

With Lu Ge's consent, Zhou Shuo called the Empression City Armed Forces Department directly and spent some time to determine Lu Ge's identity.

"Sorry, there are too many scammers in society now, so I have to be more cautious." Zhou Shuo smiled and returned the officer certificate to Lu Ge, and said apologizing.

"Where, Mr. Zhou's cautious attitude makes me look forward to working with you more."

Lu Ge put away his officer certificate. No matter how he thought in his heart, at least he couldn't see any dissatisfaction on the surface.

"Then let's get straight to the point. I wonder what happened to Colonel Lu found our Panhan Group?"

Lu Ge said seriously: "That's right, we found out from Director Huang that Mr. Zhou is developing a central processor chip here?"

"Sparc, scalable processorarchitecture, is a type of microprocessor of the SSC streamlined instruction set." Zhou Shuo nodded and agreed: "We are doing reverse engineering based on a sample we obtained. The main task at present is to refactor its source code."

This is of course Zhou Shuo is nonsense. The Sparc processor is a dedicated processor launched by Sun. In 2005, its ultrasparct1 model processor released the source code, which made this CPU occupy a place in the large professional server market.

Zhou Shuo, who has been committed to CPU design in his previous life, has certainly studied this product very deeply. Although he cannot write the source code completely, it is still okay to write an architecture and technical standards. With the architecture and a good project manager, the next work is just to follow the steps.

At present, the source code of sparct1 has been completed, and Menghai Microelectronics Design Center is performing reverse design of chips based on the source code.

Although they are all designing chips, the difficulty of this reverse design is not the same as the original CPU design. With source code, the chip design is like building blocks, with wooden squares and drawings in hand, so follow the map. However, when Sun Company designed Sparct1, it was impossible to do this. It could only design the chip first and then write the source program. This difficulty is probably like the abstract painting drawn by Van Gogh.

"I wonder, how long will this CPU take out the finished product?" Lu Ge asked cautiously.

"The finished product is a high requirement." Zhou Shuo shook his head and said: "The chip design cycle is very long. Even if we come up with the product now, it will take a long time to test and follow-up development. Our domestic chip design level, let alone CPU, is insufficient even ordinary purpose-specific integrated circuit technology. If we want to come up with results, it may be the second half of next year."

"This way..." Lu Ge's face was not disappointed, but he was also a little depressed.

Zhou Shuo still wanted to do something for the people's soldiers, and couldn't help asking curiously: "I wonder what the purpose of Colonel Lu wants to use this CPU? If it is convenient, can I tell me in detail."

Lu Ge lowered his head and thought for a while, nodded and said, "In the military, no matter how many new technologies it has applied, it is actually a command automation system. If you want to automate, it cannot be separated from the support of computers. Our country has some advantages in space technology, but when it comes to the ground battlefield, it is far from the international level."

Zhou Shuo nodded silently. He didn't know much about military affairs. What impressed him the most was Liu Cixin's book "Full-band Blocking Interference". Although it is referred to by Russia, everyone knows that it is about China. Full-band Blocking Interference can be said to be the helpless choice of weak countries in electronic warfare. Although it is not nice, this is indeed a portrayal of China's current electronic warfare technology.

"China develops the C3i system in order to make up for the gap with the international community in this regard. Electronic computer systems are the top priority. Unfortunately, our country is really backward in military chip technology, and using foreign products is worried about security issues. The only hope is to have a dual-purpose product for military and civilians..."

Zhou Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. The entire C3i system is extremely huge. From the ground to space, from combat frontiers to the national-level combat command center, how much chips should be used? If Fanhan Group can take over the computer system part of the entire system, at least there will be orders of tens of billions of dollars!

"We Fanhan Group is obliged to do this!" Zhou Shuo patted his chest and bulged his eyes and said, "Col. Lu should talk about specific requirements, performance, time and production capacity. What role can our Sparc processor take on in the C3i system and how much use it is?"

"It is enough to achieve 200mhz performance. It is more important to take care of the quality requirements of military products and adapt to harsh working environments such as high temperatures, low temperatures, and vibrations. There is no problem with time. Even if the finished product can be produced in the second half of next year, it can barely catch up. As for what role this CPU can play in the C3i system and the amount of use, it is really hard to say at the moment."
