The technological empire begins with polymer materials

September 1st.

At 9:30 in the morning, all major live broadcast platforms were launched on time. In just a few minutes, tens of millions of enthusiastic viewers poured in.

After Gao Yuan's continuous efforts, his technology live broadcast program now has a stable audience of between 60 million and 80 million. Gao Yuan has thus become the live broadcast host with the most fans on the earth, and his popularity is unprecedented.

When the pointer pointed to ten o'clock, Gao Yuan's figure appeared in front of the camera on time, and his live broadcast location was finally no longer the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Tarim Basin, but returned to the Jiangnan Convention and Exhibition Center, which is very familiar to the audience.

"Good morning, viewers. Welcome to Kunlun Group's live broadcast. I am Gao Yuan."

Gao Yuan said the same unnutritious opening remarks as before.

"Let me state in advance that today's live broadcast will probably be very boring for most viewers, because I will bring you a product that is extremely professional but extremely important to our entire Chinese nation."

"How professional is it?"

"I estimate that 99 percent of the audience have never heard of it."

"How important is it?"

"It's so strong that without it, the Earth's technology industry would all be in ruins."

The opening of Plateau successfully aroused the enthusiasm of the audience, the barrage became lively, and experienced drivers took the opportunity to start driving.

"I'll go! He looks pretty awesome!"

"The prize-winning guessing game has begun, everyone, hurry up and post the barrage to see who can guess right!"

"I guess it's a Titan-class mothership!"

"Intergalactic shuttle gate!"

"It's really possible to have a time reverse flow controller!"

"That's enough of you! We're not watching science fiction movies. What the hell are shuttle doors and time machines!?"

"I guess it must be a playmate robot! Boss Gao is going to give everyone a girlfriend!"

"My real name is against my girlfriend! What I need is a boyfriend!"

"Uh... there is a bit more information upstairs..."

After a pause for a few seconds, Gao Yuan said calmly: "The answer will be revealed below. The product I bring to you this time is the Kunlun EDA system!"

The barrage was originally very lively, but after Gao Yuan said his name, the live broadcast room suddenly became deserted, the barrage disappeared instantly, and most of the viewers were confused.

"What did Boss Gao just say?"

"EVA? Kunlun Group also produces figures now?"

"It's not EVA, it seems to be called EDA."

"What is EDA? Is it delicious?"

"By the way, is there anyone knowledgeable who can come out and explain?"

A few sparse barrages passed by, but immediately after, there was uncontrollable ecstasy. Countless technology fans broke out and almost shed tears of excitement.

"Oh my god! Kunlun Group is going to launch its own EDA!"

"My heart suddenly beat one hundred and eighty times! Now my blood pressure has completely exploded!"

"It's amazing! The emotional boss is secretly holding back a big move!"

"What on earth are you talking about? The liberal arts students said that they all know the three letters EDA, but they don't understand them when combined."

The live broadcast audience is divided, which is also expected by Gao Yuan. After all, EDA is so professional that most people don't even know it exists.

People who understand the value of EDA software quickly fall into madness. Over the years, how much hardship have semiconductor practitioners suffered and how scared have they been due to the lack of domestic EDA software?

Everyone is afraid that one day, North America will come to deal with them just like it did with Huawei.

After all, if there is no EDA software, no matter how big a semiconductor company you are, you will be in trouble immediately, and the power is comparable to a nuclear strike.

Kunlun Group suddenly came up with its own EDA product. This news was so shocking that technology enthusiasts were immediately shocked and excited.

"Have the Chinese made a mistake? Does Kunlun Group have the ability to do EDA?"

"I never heard that they have an EDA department. Are you bragging?"

"The greater possibility is plagiarism! China's intellectual property protection is just like Daddy. Many years ago, I bought a pair of Jordan brand basketball shoes in China and happily gave them to my son when I came back, but they turned out to be damned knockoffs! And I was despised by my son!”

"Chinese Jordans are sold very cheaply, and the logo is exactly the same as Nike Jordans. Such shameless knockoffs have long been notorious."

"I used to copy basketball shoes, but now I copy EDA software. China's plagiarism ability is really strong."

In the Western live broadcast room, barrages of slander and ridicule poured out crazily. With no foundation before, no one believed that Kunlun Group could come up with EDA software that is so difficult so quickly.

For a company that doesn't have an EDA software department, how can there be any other solution besides plagiarism?

Gao Yuan smiled and said in a calm voice: "EDA is the abbreviation of Electronic Design Automation, which means electronic design automation. It was born in the early 1990s. It is derived from computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), Computer-aided testing (CAT) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) were developed from early automated design software.”

"The modern semiconductor industry has become highly integrated. Tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of transistors are often integrated into a small chip. Without EDA software to assist in design, it is undoubtedly quite ridiculous and absolutely ridiculous to rely on manual manufacturing of semiconductors. There’s no way it’s going to work.”

"It can be seen that EDA software is the lifeblood of the modern semiconductor industry. Without EDA, there would be no chips, and the quality of EDA software also determines the quality of the chip."

"Currently, the world's three largest EDA software companies are Synopsys and Cadence in North America, and Mentor Graphics, a subsidiary of Siemens in Germany. The three of them account for 70% of the global market share."

"As for my country's share in the EDA field, it is relatively pitiful. In the past few years, it was only 0.2%. Recently, due to sanctions, everyone has begun to pay attention to the development of domestic EDA and has also given a lot of support. The market share has increased a little, but It’s probably less than one percent.”

"In this area, the situation is obviously very bad and the gap is extremely huge..."

Gao Yuan introduced the importance of EDA software. You must use the software to design the chip first and verify it successfully with the simulator, so that it can be sent to the semiconductor foundry for tape-out.

At present, TSMC's five-nanometer process costs about one billion US dollars to tape out one time. If the tape-out fails due to immature EDA software technology, one will have to pay one billion US dollars in tuition fees, which is very expensive!

Domestic chip design companies simply do not dare to use domestic EDA because they cannot afford the risk of design failure. After all, it is tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. It will be gone in the blink of an eye, and it will not even make a splash.

Foreign EDA software is extremely expensive to sell, and it is clear that it is meant to deceive you, and it also has various restrictions to guard against Chinese companies like thieves.

But even so, you still have to buy it. What can you do? Without EDA, the entire semiconductor industry chain will be useless. Even if you know that the other party has a knife in your hand, you can only stretch your neck and let others kill you.

Backbone companies such as Huawei and ZTE are not even eligible to be ripped off because they are on the Entity List. They are so damn overbearing and each is bitter. Only those who are truly engaged in the semiconductor industry will understand.

Gao Yuan did not sensationalize, but stated the current situation based on the principle of seeking truth from facts.

Even so, the live broadcast atmosphere still made me extremely solemn.

He spent a few minutes briefly introducing the current situation, and then said with a smile: "After hearing so much, you may be curious about how our EDA products came out. I have never heard that Kunlun Group has an EDA department before?"

With a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, Gao Yuan said calmly: "Yes, Kunlun Group does not have an EDA department, but Xinhua Chapter does, and we bought the strongest EDA emulator supplier in China!"
