Global Monopoly of Technology

In fact, as long as there is preparation in advance, the national mobilization ability is strong enough, and the super solar storm is not so terrible. The terrible thing is that it comes suddenly and unprepared.

But this kind of thing cannot be announced to the public in advance, otherwise, before the natural disaster falls, human beings will be in chaos, so they can only mobilize and prepare silently.

Electromagnetic pulses, especially high-power microwave electromagnetic pulses, mainly destroy electronic systems by means of pulsed energy radiation, destroying electronic components, integrated circuits, circuit boards, etc. in the system.

Electromagnetic pulses have a unique propagation mechanism and penetrating ability, such as entering through the antenna of the communication equipment, causing damage to the receiving device, and can also reach the interior of the cavity through slits, holes, and windows to generate standing waves, causing damage to components, and can also be processed by Thorough cables and device connections can induce currents that travel through the lines to components and cause device damage.

But electromagnetic pulses are not unprotectable, and good grounding, shielding and filtering can play a protective role.

Grounding is to connect the metal casing, iron tube skin, high-frequency electronic equipment signals, etc. of the equipment to the same grounding device. Intuitively speaking, it is connected to the ground through the correct method and method, so as to effectively suppress the electromagnetic waves caused by the electronic equipment. Influence, avoid interference and damage caused by discharge caused by excessive charge accumulation.

Shielding is to isolate sensitive electronic equipment and its systems from the electromagnetic pulse radiation environment in space, thereby preventing external electromagnetic pulse radiation from entering electronic equipment or systems. This is the most typical application in modern warships with three defense functions. A modern warship can be approximately regarded as an independent Faraday cage.

All cables and access holes of electronic equipment should be blocked with electromagnetic wave absorbing material.

For important equipment, a shelter with good electromagnetic shielding performance can also be used, which is simple and easy to implement, with low cost and good protection effect.

Filtering can filter out a specified frequency in the signal, thereby suppressing and preventing electromagnetic pulse interference from entering electronic equipment or systems,

The radiation energy of electromagnetic pulse is very large, and various filtering devices are added at the power inlet of the equipment or system. This device can be composed of passive or active components.

The swarm drone uses filtering as a solution to the problem of anti-electromagnetic pulses.

Generally speaking, with the existing technical conditions and level of human beings, there is no technical problem in protecting against electromagnetic pulses. At the beginning of the construction of the Cote d'Azur laboratory, special efforts were made to protect against electromagnetic pulses, otherwise the sky-high headquarters would be built. The cost is given for nothing, including Luo Sheng's science and technology complex building. There is no problem in protecting against the super solar storm four years later.

It is only necessary to close all facilities a week in advance and seal them up before the super storm strikes, and then open the seals after the electromagnetic pulse strikes, and it will be able to operate normally.

...

In the following days, Luo Sheng will go to major supply chain manufacturers on the plan to increase the production of the semiconductor industry chain. To realize the strategic reserve of integrated circuit chips, it is necessary to get through from top to raw materials, down to wafer foundry packaging and testing.

At this time, the control over the upstream and downstream core supply chain manufacturers has played a key role. Usually, Luo Sheng doesn't care at all, but at this time, they can't make a big deal out of it.

At this juncture, the favor is valid and the objection is invalid.

The sooner one prepares to produce one more chip, the more help it will bring to the post-disaster recovery of the economy and industrial production, and the less loss it will suffer.

...

On October 27, the Science and Technology Complex Building, Luo Sheng's private office.

After more than ten days of rushing around, the integrated circuit field has finally been properly arranged. Luo Sheng can't guarantee it in other industries, but in the chip field, he is confident that in four years, the country will not have to worry about chip availability. It can not only meet domestic reconstruction needs, but also squeeze out most of the production capacity for overseas supply.

At this time, at around 16 o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Sheng and Qin Weimu were sitting in the living room.

"Solar storm?"

Qin Weimu looked at him with surprise after listening to Luo Sheng's brief description. The latter nodded and smiled, "With your business sense, you should know what I'm thinking."

Hearing this, Qin Weimu put away his surprised expression, and said thoughtfully: "Whether it is good news or bad news, as long as you can know the news in advance, you can make a profit. If this level really happens. There are so many places where you can make money, and I really didn’t guess what you were thinking.”

It is true that you can make money by hoarding any material, whether it is food or electronic equipment that can be used normally, you can make a lot of money.

Luo Sheng stopped beating around the bush, and said directly: "Of course it's chips, you can open the way with money through family funds and Shengfeng Capital as soon as possible, whether private equity funds or leather bag companies, in short, in the next three years, the big Large-scale semiconductor manufacturers around the world are sweeping the goods. No matter what kind of chips they can supply, they can buy as much as they can. Don’t buy the latest generation, buy the backward generation, so that those manufacturers dare to ship on a large scale. "

These chips are purchased from foreigners, and they will still have to be sold to foreigners at that time, and they will have to rush to ask for them.

The importance of chips, or integrated circuits, in today's information society is unquestionable.

The life, work and entertainment of every ordinary person in modern society, as well as the production and operation of every company, are firmly bound to various chips in various electronic products.

It is no exaggeration to say that chips are the cornerstone of modern human civilization. Without chips, many devices that represent advanced productivity cannot operate, which means a great retrogression of civilization.

Which country has the most complete, sophisticated and most sophisticated chip industry chain can have absolute power, because it can completely lock the economic and technological development space of chip importing countries by cutting off supply and restricting exports.

As described in the science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem", the Three-Body Problem can use sophons to lock the basic science of human beings.

And after the super storm, whoever has the most complete, most, and most sophisticated chips will be able to grasp the economic and technological development space of the country in need. Compared with the large-scale industrial equipment and machines, the efficiency of post-disaster reconstruction is the same. The gap between a day.

Qin Weimu wondered: "Didn't ESA and NASA discover it?"

This is a very critical question. If Europeans and Americans are aware of this super storm, they will definitely hoard key strategic reserve materials on a large scale for post-disaster reconstruction. Semiconductor chips must also be important materials. Where will they be sold to you?

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "NASA and ESA haven't realized the seriousness yet, thinking that the solar flare activity in four years' time is not as good as the previous cycle."

Obviously, Luo Sheng couldn't be foolish enough to tell the Europeans and Americans, maybe he would remind them with good intentions, and conversely, he said that you have bad intentions, and bad people are not like that.

Luo Sheng added: "This solar storm will accelerate the disintegration of the dollar hegemony, and it will take five years to ten years. Our family fund has several trillions of US debts to be disposed of as soon as possible in the next few years. How to re-allocate these assets is your strength, you can deal with it, I can rest assured.”

In a few years, the US dollar will not be a pile of waste paper, but it will definitely not be the currency recognized by the world like it is today, and it is absolutely unwise to continue to hold trillions of dollars.

Qin Weimu said angrily: "You said it easily in three consecutive sentences. Shengfeng Capital and the family fund together hold 7 trillion US dollars. You told me to throw it all away within three or four years? Who will take over this deal? We are now the largest creditor in North America. If we sell the dollar on such a large scale, other investors will follow suit and sell in panic, and the world economy will be in chaos ahead of schedule.”

Big has big difficulties, if it is only tens of billions of scale, it is not a problem at all.

But this is a scale of several trillion, and there is also the halo blessing of the name "Luo Sheng", everyone is watching your every move.

Luo Sheng shrugged and said, "Let's take one step at a time, maybe God will give you a chance, such as a black swan event or something."

Qin Weimu rolled his eyes at him: "It's easy to say."

Luo Sheng smiled and didn't speak, but replied silently in his heart: "If you say it lightly, you will do it lightly."

In the past few months, the outbreak of the epidemic virus in the old and the United States has swept across Europe and the United States, causing heavy damage to the global economy. The US dollar is not only the world's largest savings currency, but also the world's leading currency. For global investors, the safety of other assets is far less than that of the US dollar, so everyone began to frantically grab the US dollar, which led to the continuous rise of the US dollar price and a large shortage of US dollars in the market.

This is a great opportunity to ship.

Investors all over the world are selling other assets to buy the US dollar as a safe haven. It is a godsend. In this environment where everyone is rushing for US dollars, even if they add another 7 trillion US dollars, they can still complete the shipment. Can't someone take over?
