Big Country Technology Starts with Mobile Phones

Moreover, this kind of auxiliary chip designed for specific purposes will require relatively less investment in research and development. Of course, this is only a relative term.

Fortunately, Chang Geng 1 and Chang Geng 2 were successful. Although they cannot be used as mobile phone processors, there are too many places where SOC is used in life.

According to the agreement, after the two Chang Geng chips were successfully taped out, a batch of samples were immediately sent to the official for in-depth testing.

Generally speaking, it takes about 6 months for a chip to go from successful tape-out to mass production.

But for Nebula Technology, as long as there is no problem with the supply of raw materials, mass production can be done at any time.

Just leave these things to the R\u0026D department. If the production capacity is not enough, you can add production lines directly from the [Technology Collection].

Liu Dalang now has 760,000 points and can even directly build a C-class nano-SOC production line, but the design drawings take too long.

By the time they design it, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Apple, Samsung, Google, etc. have already used flagship chips with more advanced processes.

This is the disadvantage of self-developed chips and production. Even Samsung’s self-designed chips have not defeated Qualcomm, let alone Nebula Technology.

Without the [Science and Technology Collection], Liu Dalang would definitely not take this path. The correct solution would be for oppo, vivo, and Xiaomi to take the comprador route.

First occupy a part of the market, develop some unique technologies, and then invest in higher-tech research and development after sufficient funds are available.

Of course, the disadvantages of this development model are also obvious. If you want to catch up from behind, the possibility of overtaking and defeating international giants in corners is almost zero.

The two Chang Geng models gave Nebula Technology a good start, and the image sensor R\u0026D project team next door also fell into a state of frantic work.

In fact, the development of image sensors is not that difficult, but Liu Dalang requires that it be developed so that it can be used in his own products, which is a bit difficult.

Therefore, in terms of progress, the research and development of image sensors has been lagging behind, but other sensors that do not require much technical content have been developed.

For example, sensors such as light, distance, gravity, acceleration, etc., although not as good as top sensors, are more than enough for use on mobile phones.

Mobile phones don’t need such top-notch sensors. It’s enough to be able to handle daily use. The screen, performance, and image improvements will make it more intuitive!

In the next half month, Nebula Technology took a lot less action, and many people speculated that Nebula Technology should be planning the next generation of products.

As everyone knows, Nebula Technology has already received a large number of official orders. While Chang Geng is mass-producing, it has also received a large amount of research and development funds.

The entire Xingyun Technology Industrial Park has expanded outward again, covering a total area of ​​more than 500 acres. The overlooking scenery is very beautiful.

However, Liu Dalang was not satisfied with this. He urgently needed a powerful enough product to lead Nebula Technology to a new peak.

There is no need to replace the higher-standard production lines for now. When Nebula Technology has enough influence, it will further absorb more R\u0026D personnel.

At that time, the research and development work will be easier and the progress will be faster, so the points now only need to be used to increase the production line capacity.

Liu Dalang wants to switch to 5G technology, but the problem is that he can't afford it. However, he is already planning to set up Nebula Communications specifically to develop 5G technology.

Prior to this, Liu Dalang designed two mobile phones using Chang Geng 1 and Chang Geng 2 respectively, one was Dalang 2014 and the other was Nebula 2014.

As can be seen from the names, these two mobile phones are souvenir mobile phones. The appearance of Dalang 2014 is the first smartphone designed by Liu Dalang that year.

The 3-inch screen, coupled with physical buttons and cool marquees, take you right back to eight years ago.

Nebula 2014 is a true full-screen mobile phone with a curved bezel-less design. It is said to have an under-screen camera, but in fact it cancels the front camera.

Anyway, it is just a souvenir product. Displaying Chang Geng chips and proposing some conceptual technologies are their functions.

"1,000 units of Dalang 2014 and Nebula 2014 will be produced each, and all will be made into specimens!"

Employees in some production plants didn't understand why Liu Dalang wanted so many unusable mobile phones, just for commemoration? But they won't ask.

They just had to do whatever Liu Dalang asked for. They were so curious that they had to finish playing it sooner or later.

What are these souvenir specimens used for?

Of course it’s a gift to a friend!

When Rebus received the two souvenir specimens, he was speechless. He was still working as a comprador, and Liu Dalang had already made the chip.

How to play this?

"Mr. Lei! Nebula Technology announced the star architecture they specially developed for nanoimprint technology, and its first self-developed chip Chang Geng!"

Rebus:? ? ?

Liu Dalang announced the technology now?

Rebus quickly opened the official website of Nebula Technology and was speechless. What kind of announcement is this?

At most, it is a notification to major mobile phone manufacturers that Nebula Technology has a chip, and it is a chip developed and produced by itself!

If you think about it with your heel, how could Liu Dalang reveal the core technology?

Rebus looked at the two souvenir mobile phones on the table and felt a little doubtful about life. Chang Geng 1 and 2 displayed separately seemed to be showing off their power.

Huawei Kirin did not make him feel so uncomfortable. At the same time, he also realized that he must speed up the construction of Xiaomi Technology Park and develop his own technology.

As for Huawei, after receiving two souvenir mobile phones from Nebula Technology, many Huawei executives immediately saw the seriousness of the problem.

Although Chang Geng 1 and Chang Geng 2 are just entry-level chips that can be rubbed on the ground by Kirin, they use nanoimprint technology!

If nanoimprinting technology was just a gimmick, they wouldn't pay attention at all. But now that the finished product is produced, this nature has changed.

Once nanoimprint technology develops, the entire world's chip manufacturing pattern will change, and many industries will be affected.

"Is Nebula Technology going to change the world?"

"Huawei can no longer be the same as before, we must also develop our own technology!"

But that's easier said than done? Huawei's own model is different from Nebula. How can it be changed?

The official attention to Nebula Technology has reached an unprecedented level. Liu Dalang has to apply if he wants to go abroad.

As for the technological breakthrough achieved by Nebula Technology, word spread throughout China within one day.

Because Liu Dalang directly posted on social media the souvenirs he gave to major manufacturers.

" @Rebus, @Chen Yongming, @Shen Wei, @Jia Yueting, @Sassafras, @Luo Yulong, @…, it’s been a good time recently, I received the gift ?"

Rebus: Friendly businessman is too polite~

Chen Yongming: Thank you, let’s encourage each other~

Luo Yulong: The world’s first NIL chip, Nebula Technology has created new history!

Jia Yueting: There are many similarities between us, and I hope we can cooperate in the future~

…

Some of them responded to Liu Dalang, while others didn't see it at all, or they didn't want to return after seeing it. Of course, these are not important.

As an ordinary person, I don't know much about the changes that Nebula Technology's nanoimprinting technology will bring. On the contrary, I can't stand Liu Dalang.

"What are you talking about?"

"40nm chip? It makes me laugh. Can a low-end chip be so popular?"

“Apple A8 said it didn’t dare to speak…”

"That's it? That's it? I thought I was going to beat Apple, but in the end I couldn't even beat Fa Ge!"

"So what if you have a chip? Don't you still have to buy Qualcomm and MediaTek products?"

"A 40nm top-notch chip was discovered!"

"666~"

"..."

Liu Dalang ignored all these remarks, because there were many normal comments:

"Congratulations! I have followed Nebula Technology before. I hope Chang Geng will get better and better~"

"Nebula Technology is amazing. It deserves to be the king of copycats. There is nothing you can't do!"

"What happened to 40 nanometers? Didn't Apple come from 40 nanometers? Why should it be like this?"

"Nebula Technology has a promising future!"

"Develop your own technology! Come on!"

"I look forward to Nebula Technology punching Apple and kicking Samsung in the future!"

"Chang Geng Chip has just started. Isn't it normal that it can't compare with those high-end chips?"

"A quick question: What is nanoimprint technology? Can it be used to make graphics cards?"

People's thinking is still relatively backward now, and many people are still pursuing imported products, so Nebula Technology will not promote it in the name of domestic products.

Not now, and not in the future. When Nebula Technology is strong enough to defeat the giants, it will naturally have a lot of supporters.

Excluding the trolls from Nebula Technology and other manufacturers, Liu Dalang is more concerned about positive reviews.

Someone approves of Nebula Technology, but instead of reading the good reviews, he feels uncomfortable because of the mindless negative reviews. What's the point?

It's like buying something online, turning a blind eye to the countless good reviews in the reviews, and insisting on finding one bad review among tens of thousands of reviews.

Then give yourself a reason to feel at ease not to buy it. It’s not bad, but it’s actually quite good. If you don’t buy something, you’ll save some money.

Are negative reviews more credible than positive reviews? The online world is full of truth and lies. Choosing the products you really need is the most important thing.

Liu Dalang used the Chang Geng chip to remind domestic manufacturers that it is no longer feasible to continue to be a comprador, and they must develop their own technology.

By the way, let’s advertise the nanoimprint technology and tell domestic manufacturers that nanoimprint technology is not a gimmick and can really make chips!

As long as he can attract some chip design companies or technology companies, Liu Dalang can rely on the star architecture to earn patent fees even if he is lying down.

Only by being entangled with each other can new technological breakthroughs be achieved. However, what he did not expect was that the OV mascot actually broke off relations with the Dalang mascot.

"What's happening here?"

Liu Dalang was a little confused. He remembered that when Dalang's direct-operated store first entered the offline market, it was on the hot search list because of his interaction with OV.

Dalang Technology then took advantage of the opportunity and often organized activities with OV’s mascot to attract traffic. The overall effect was good.

Who would have thought that ov would stop playing if he said he didn’t want to?

"Isn't this just like fighting between elementary school students? I won't play with you directly... If that's the case, then we will promote it ourselves!"

In fact, it’s normal when you think about it. OV itself is an offline store, and Dalang directly-operated stores have entered offline stores with great fanfare, and the target users have some overlap.

Isn't this a clear sign of ruining one's job?

In addition, Nebula Technology is engaged in Nebulas OS and self-developed chips. In the past, it didn’t matter if there were few Dalang directly-operated stores, but now it’s different.

The subsequent plot will focus on product development that combines software and hardware. Thank you for your support ~
