If America really pulls us into the entity list sanctions plan, it will indeed have a certain impact on Ark Technology's research work. Many research projects will be delayed, and the subsequent commercialization process will also be interrupted.
"Good, that's the spirit of a fearless newcomer!" Zhou Hexuan praised loudly over the phone.
Chips are an insurmountable hurdle in the modern technology field! Almost every time there is a conflict, the West always uses chips as leverage, demanding that China make concessions step by step. This tactic has proven to be almost universally effective.
Even though China has fiercely resisted each time, it still cannot hide the ongoing lag in the chip sector. The gap is not just slight; it spans two or even three generations!
Having suffered many defeats in this field, some of the top tech companies in the country are reluctant to invest heavily in chip development. Although there are many reasons for this, fear and trepidation are the main factors.
If one lacks the courage to fully commit to this field, how can they compete with leading international tech companies? If they can only act tough at home, constantly seeking policies and protection, but immediately kneel when facing external challenges—willing to act as pawns for their own interests—then what is the point of supporting their growth?
Ji Yuan wiped away a light sweat and said, "Mentor, please stop praising me, I feel very embarrassed."
Zhou Hexuan replied with full confidence, "What is there to be embarrassed about? You are younger than us, and whether China can truly rise depends on your generation!"
"Why not change your research direction and focus on chips?"
"What? I'm researching Smartphone robots, and you want me to suddenly switch to chip development?"
"What's wrong with that? Just give it a try; what if it works out?!"
Surprisingly, Ji Yuan seriously considered his mentor's suggestion. Various ideas flashed through his mind, and he smirked as he said, "Trying to develop chips is not simple. Chip architecture design diagrams, Lithography Machine component technology, Integrated Circuit process flow—almost every aspect in the country is lacking..."
A small chip represents a concentration of technological power.
There was a chance for Chinese chip technology to catch up with Western chip technology over a decade ago, but that opportunity was missed.
Corruption issues in research projects led to hesitation among upper-level leaders, support quickly diminished, and the research project ultimately came to nothing.
Zhou Hexuan laughed and scolded, "Do you think the country has placed all its hopes on you? We researchers are judged by our results!
What good is theory if it doesn't lead to tangible outcomes? As long as the results are remarkable, then you will achieve success and fame."
"I let you exert effort in that direction, but I didn't dare to place all my hopes on you."
"I didn't mean that at all. Please don't think too highly of me; otherwise, others might believe you are flattering me and paving the way for the students."
Ji Yuan appeared relaxed on the surface, but his mood grew increasingly heavy.
Rather than saying that China's Chip Technology is lagging behind, it would be more accurate to say that the entire chip industry chain is falling behind.
Whether it's the Chip Technology itself, the material research and development for Lithography Machines, or the process flow for Integrated Circuits, they all fall far short of the current international mainstream technology.
For China to break through, the best approach is to research entirely new architectures and processes. Even the material development for Lithography Machines needs to take a different path and find alternative ideas.
In other words, China needs to achieve a groundbreaking innovation in the chip field to avoid and ultimately end the embarrassing situation of trailing behind Western technological countries for so long.
This is a monumental undertaking!
But only by doing so can the country completely bypass Patent restrictions and leverage its strong domestic industrial advantages to overtake competitors in a short period, using a new technological system to catch up with fifty years of chip development disparity and break through trade sanctions.
