Simulation: Great Power Technology

The resignation of synopsys soon caused a more serious chain reaction. By this time, the decline of various Western manufacturers in the Huaxia branch had completely surfaced, not only in terms of personnel, but also in the supply chain. Something went wrong.

The supplier of the office building has requested an advance payment on the grounds that they are in danger of going bankrupt and must pay back early.

The office equipment provider is no longer responding quickly to their requests, the printer has been broken for 5 days and still no one has come to fix it.

The representative of synopsys in China personally called the other party's company, but the other party's reply made him completely unable to answer the call.

"Sir, we understand your appeal very well, but you know that our company's business has been very busy recently. For some less important customers, we can only postpone it..."

"...We are less important customers? That's not how you treated us before!"

"It was before, and now is now. Sir, with all due respect, there is not much time for you to stay in Huaxia, not to mention that I heard that you have no contract at all, so what does it matter whether the printer is repaired or not?"

"I'm going to sue you!"

The representative cursed angrily.

"This is your right. However, our maintenance sla is 15 days, which means that as long as we come to repair within 15 days, it is not a breach of contract. I have a problem, your company, also Can you make it to day 15?"

"..."

The representative hung up the phone angrily, and he circled around. The originally full office was nearly half empty, and the rest of the people were already ready to move.

This is the reality he has to face.

This company really can't last.

At least, their business in Huaxia has completely collapsed, and there is no longer any possibility of reversal.

......

On the other hand, for several days, Ye Zhou was nervously writing his thinking program framework on his computer, but he did not use computer language, but natural language.

After all, thinking programming does not need to be compiled, as long as the logic is clearly described, and then go to the subconscious sea of ​​strings to operate.

This saved him a lot of time, but also brought new troubles.

There is no way to verify the program framework written in natural language.

Only when the simulation is actually entered can the program be revised according to the simulation results.

It's going to be a long job, but luckily, he still has time.

After a busy morning, Ye Zhou finally put down the keyboard and prepared to make something for lunch, but unexpectedly, Chen Hao even arranged a surprise for him.

In other words, it is more appropriate to be frightened.

It was an official media interview.

"Just make do with a few words, after all you have done such a big thing, you have to close an official and sum up. Originally, out of protection for you, your superiors did not agree with you to show your face, but I thought about it, after all, it is a done deal. , the threat to you from abroad has been greatly reduced."

"So, I applied with the above and asked you to make this statement! Young man, don't be afraid, since we all said yes, then do it with confidence!"

In desperation, Ye Zhou had to rush the ducks to the shelves to prepare for a few minutes, and then sat in front of the camera to prepare for an interview.

The person who interviewed him was a beautiful woman who has recently become popular among official media reporters. Every time Ye Zhou saw her on TV, Ye Zhou felt that his heart was ice-cold.

After a few simple greetings, Bingbing well-trained to bring the topic to the point and began the formal interview.

She should have communicated with Chen Hao in advance, so the question involved neither technical sources nor confidential information, which made Ye Zhou relieved.

"Hello, Gong Ye, I'm Bingbing. It's my first time meeting today, and it's a great honor. To be honest, I'm not used to calling you Gong Ye, because if it was an interview of this type before, the person sitting opposite me would be I always want to be called 'Old Man'."

Ye Zhou smiled and replied:

"Then you can call me Ye Xiao, or Xiao Ye."

"Haha, you are indeed a young man. You are very humorous. But I'll still call you Ye Gong. Addressing a person's occupation is also a form of respect."

"No problem, then I'll call you Reporter Wang as well."

"You can call Bingbing, they all call me that, that's what you young people call them. But when it comes to young people, you are indeed the best group of young people I have ever met in my career as a journalist, university When you just graduated, you have led the country's strategic projects as a leader, how is it, how does it feel?"

Ye Zhou pondered for a moment and replied:

"It's tiring, but it's worth it."

"Of course it's tiring, I can understand it. Before coming here, we visited the Xinghuo factory in Miyagi Prefecture. The conditions there are very simple. You have been working under those conditions for more than a month, isn't it difficult? "

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"It's not difficult. Physical difficulties are the least important. Most of the real difficulties happened before the factory was completed. Besides, I should be the relatively easy one of all."

"Why do you think so? Can you give an example or two? As far as I know, the colleagues who have worked with you don't think the same way as you - in their eyes, you are the The busiest one. I heard you sometimes even work 18 hours a day at the Spark Factory."

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment.

What Bingbing said is indeed true, because he is the only person who can comprehensively inspect the installation process of the lithography machine, so all installation reports and test reports need to be reviewed by him, plus others have already worked very hard , the feedback is sent to him, and it is necessary to increase the code again.

However, on the other hand, it's true that he didn't feel how difficult he was.

After thinking for a moment, he replied:

"I was really busy at that time, but I didn't find it difficult. There are two reasons. The first is that when I was working, other people were also working, and no one was easier than the other."

"The second is that I'm not under the pressure of other staff, they never know whether they will succeed or not, and even some outsiders don't know what they are doing, but together The order came down, and they still rushed up."

"It's hard to do it with all your strength when faced with a task for which you don't know the outcome; if you don't even know what the task is, that's the real difficulty."

The opposite Bingbing sighed with emotion, and then continued to ask:

"What about you? Why do you know that we will succeed this time?"

"I don't know either, I just don't care."

"I don't know, and I don't care?"

"Chip manufacturing is a complex system engineering, which involves not only lithography machines, but also many upstream and downstream links. Even if we have sufficient theoretical preparations, there is actually an element of luck in being able to function at one time. But , I don't care if I can succeed this time, what I care about is that one day, we will be able to do it. Do you understand?"

"Understandable. You have a lot of self-confidence. This self-confidence is not for you personally, but for the entire China, right?"

"That's right."

"Then can I ask, where does such self-confidence come from?"

Bingbing looked at Ye Zhou expectantly, in her expectation, Ye Zhou should answer things such as "five thousand years of cultural heritage", "strong people", "wise leadership", no matter which one, It was the highlight of this interview.

But she didn't expect that Ye Zhou's answer was completely unexpected.

"Because they don't deserve it."

"them?"

Bingbing asked in surprise.

"You know, it's a little bit of a misnomer, but I still hope it's on the air. Those Westerners, they don't deserve it."

"Their character has never been noble, not even for a minute. The so-called high-quality illusion is actually based on the right to speak built on the abundant material foundation."

"They preached concepts like freedom, human rights, but never really paid attention to the lives of the underprivileged."

"They meddle in other people's housework everywhere, but they can't even manage a bunch of shit in their own house."

"Not to mention certain countries controlled by chaebols."

"Because they are not worthy, they are confident that these strategic technologies, these technologies that will completely change the destiny of mankind in the future, should not and cannot be in their hands."

"We may be a little slower, but in the end, the right to speak will come back to us."

"This is the source of my confidence. When you look around the world and find that everyone else is unworthy, you should know that you are the only one who deserves it."

silence.

Not only Bingbing, but the staff who had been discussing in a low voice on the outside fell silent.

Everyone was thinking about Ye Zhou's argument.

Because others are not worthy, all, only we are worthy.

This thinking is deviant, but it cannot be refuted at all.

After a long time, Bingbing continued to speak:

"This point... is very impactful. Then, following your words, I have another question. You said that we are the ones who should master these strategic technologies. Have you ever thought about it and really mastered it? Afterwards, what should we do with it?"

Ye Zhou took a slight breath, and then asked back:

"Do you know how much the cheapest smartphone on the market today that can log into WeChat and use video calls smoothly?"

"Uh...a thousand?"

"Wrong. Three hundred at most. But, you know what? It's the three hundred dollars that most families in our vast rural areas can't afford, or are reluctant to pay."

"Most of these people who can't afford smartphones are left-behind elderly people in rural areas, or elderly people who are lonely and widowed. Their children are either financially unallowable, or really reluctant to give up the three hundred dollars. In short, they will not be given to them. purchase."

"At most, they will use an older machine."

"They never have the opportunity to be exposed to the latest technology in their entire life - they have survived the hardest days for decades and still don't enjoy the benefits of technology."

"You are a good reporter, and you have done a lot of people's livelihood programs, but I bet you have never seen the envious eyes of the rural elderly watching other young people use their smartphones to make video calls to others."

"Because, these old people, they have already learned to hide their emotions well."

"For a 300 yuan smartphone, the price of the chip is about 20-30 yuan. But if the chip industry is completely localized, the price can even drop below 5 yuan."

"Then, the price of a mobile phone that costs 300 yuan is reduced to 280. The difference of 20 yuan can make thousands of children buy a mobile phone for their parents instead of buying a video camera. Smartphones for calls, that’s the law of the market.”

"It's just a simple example, the same, if the price of the screen goes down, if the price of the camera goes down, if the price of the battery goes down... there will be more elderly people who can spend a lonely night, You can look at the faces of your children through the Internet."

"In other respects, someone is doing it. What I'm doing is just chips. I'm just doing my part in a certain way."

"So you ask me, what exactly do you want to do with these strategic-level technologies."

"I will not answer you to fight for hegemony and to dominate the destiny of mankind, and our organization was not established for this purpose."

"What we want to do is to let our people live a little better, in a possibly extremely small range."

－－－－－－off topic－－－－－

This chapter was originally intended to be posted tomorrow, but after I finished writing it, I felt that it had to be posted, otherwise I would be uncomfortable.

So, it's still posted today.

This chapter is a formal conclusion of the chip story, similar to the end of a copy, but it doesn't mean that there will be no chip story later, because the process of navigating the world revolves around the chip.

With this chapter, a total of 16,000 have been updated today, which is interesting enough.

After that, it will be updated normally, 10,000 per day, otherwise I will die suddenly.
