"I want to crawl on the ground and wipe away the shame of the motherland little by little!"
68-year-old she is preparing to go home to retire because she persists until she is in her 80s and is still fighting on the front line of scientific research.
She is a researcher at Loongson Zhongke Technology Co., Ltd. and is known as the "Mother of Loongson" - Ms. Huang Lingyi .
Chinese chips need to speed up the process
In 1989, Huang Lingyi went to the United States to attend the international chip exhibition. Although this time the holding opened her eyes, she was still very disappointed because she did not find a booth belonging to China.
Since then, Huang Lingyi said:
"In the 1960s, China's chip level was similar to that of the world, but now more than 20 years have passed, we are stagnating, but the world is developing. China's chips lag behind the world for more than 20 years!"
At this time, she realized that Chinese chips cannot be dragged on again and again. Only by accelerating the speed can we achieve certain results in the semiconductor industry.
China's first military computer "156 component computer"
In October 1962, Huang Lingyi was assigned to "Solid Circuit Group" of of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He and his colleagues have an important task, , that is, to develop the first domestic microcomputer.
In the second half of 966, the "156 component computer" was finally developed successfully.
It is my country's first remote launch vehicle control system guidance computer. It is small in size and light in weight. It can work stably under harsh environmental conditions such as high temperature, low temperature, vacuum, etc., and has 99.8% reliability.
Its success, has created a new era in the history of the development of integrated circuits and computers in my country.
On November 26, 1975, the 56 computer successfully controlled the "Long March 2" launch vehicle to send my country's first return artificial earth satellite to space.
After successfully developing the 156 computer, Huang Lingyi and his team still did not stop their pace.
, but there was still a certain problem. was too tight because the funding was too tight, so he couldn't afford to spend a lot of money to study.
Until she participated in the International Chip Exhibition in 1989, she was determined to develop chips.
China's first independently developed high-performance chip "Loongson No. 1"
On January 21, 2002, 66-year-old Huang Lingyi still did not give up. Leading the team to knock on the door of the "Longxin" laboratory here, met the person in charge of " Loongxin ", Hu Weiwu .
During the conversation, Huang Lingyi said without hesitation:
"I want all Chinese people to design CPU!"
Finally, on August 10, my country's first universal high-performance microprocessing chip "Loongson No. 1" was released.
They put in a lot of sweat in this, and at the moment of success, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And this is the beginning of the chip road. They need to be very energetic and stick to their positions.
In September of the same year, "Longson 2" was released.
8 years old, she has no regrets in her heart, and it is time to retire.
When Hu Weiwu learned of the news, he immediately wrote her a letter.
and because of this letter, she decided to continue moving forward, to make use of her remaining energy for China's chips and strive for life.
In 2015, the first Beidou satellite equipped with "Longxin" was successfully launched.
was successfully launched this time, which made Western countries stunned.
html I never expected that my country could break through the technological blockade.
China chip really rose
In 2020, after SMIC revealed that it could mass-produce chips with 14nm process in the first half of the year, netizens speculated that China chip was about to rise, not far from the world's leading level.
Let’s take a look at the process level of the four major chip foundries before 2020.
The first one is TSMC; it will achieve 7nm in 2018 and 5nm in 2020.
The second one is Samsung ; it achieved 10nm in 2018 and 7nm in 2019.
The third one is Grofond; it will achieve 7nm in 2018.
The fourth one is Taiwan Power Corporation; it achieved 14nm in 2017.
, and SMIC achieved 14nm in the fifth place in 2019.
Although we are still very far from TSMC, it seems that the two are still a 4 to 5 years apart, and , but fortunately, we have also achieved certain results.
So whether it can take 4 or 5 years to catch up with TSMC is not easy to say.
It is worth mentioning that in 2018, Huang Lingyi developed the latest generation of China Loongson processors, saving the country the expense of purchasing American chips.
By 2020, Loongson's annual revenue has exceeded 1 billion mark, and can even save the country 1.4 trillion yuan in expenses.
What I want to say is, Ms. Huang Lingyi, under your leadership, China Chip will develop better and better in the future.
"Life depends on thinking, born in distress, and death in happiness. Destiny depends on choice, success in justice, and failure in temptation. Life depends on the heart, great love is always happy, and the ego is always bitter. One life insists on mindfulness, without any obstacles to wind and rain, and thunder will be lost."
