> "This year - a factory of semiconductors. Next year - a factory of full conductors."

That's awesome)))

Reminds me of one internal soviet joke about soviet-made microchips. That things called in Russian like "сверхбольшие интегральные схемы"-"superbig integral circuts". Don't know if the West used exactly the same term or just "integral circuts", but the joke was around that "superbig" adjective: "Soviet superbig integral circuts are the biggest in the world!". And if a listener didn't readily undestand the salt, one should clarify: "They have not only 16 legs /*connectors*/ but also a 2 carry handles".



I would imagine that's similar to VLSI, Very Large Scale Integration?


Well, almost, I guess. Wiki says that VLSI is a process, and the thing I was talking about is the result of this process, a final product.
