Technological Hegemony

Even Luo Jia himself did not expect that his New Year's Eve would be spent in the hospital.

It wasn't until midnight that senior sister Qi Mengzhou and An Ran's youngest daughter fell to the ground, and everyone finally let go of their suspense.

For the first time in his life, Luo Jia knew a lot of professional terms, such as opening a bone, and finally understood that it is not easy for a woman to give birth, especially for an advanced mother like a senior.

Hearing the heart-piercing screams of her senior, Luo Jia suddenly had the urge to run home and hug her mother. It hurts so much. It hurts even hearing it. No wonder more and more modern women give up normal childbirth and choose caesarean section.

"This little girl is much prettier than you and senior sister. I don't know how many men will be fascinated by her in the future." When the nurse showed Qi Xin to everyone, Luo Jia said, making everyone laugh.

Such a smart person as An Ran was so excited that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence at this moment. He hugged his wife tightly, who held the newborn little An Xin in her arms. The family of three was full of warmth and happiness. , It's really enviable.

"During this time, spend more time with your wife and children. There is no need to worry about the company's affairs. We are here." Luo Jia said to An Ran.

Walking out of the hospital, Luo Jia didn't let Xu Chunbiao drive. This is the company's affiliated hospital, and you can go directly to the headquarters by crossing an overpass.

After getting on the overpass, suddenly a cold wind blew up, Luo Jia could not help shrinking her neck, pulled up the hood of her down jacket, and quickened her pace.

When he returned to the company, he saw bright lights and sumptuous meals were prepared in the cafeteria. Although alcohol was allowed on holidays, when he walked into the cafeteria, no one was pushing glasses and changing glasses. Only some colleagues quietly bowed their heads to eat. Playing with the phone.

Perhaps it was because of the high pressure recently, the atmosphere in the company was a bit dull, and the originally scheduled New Year's Day reception had to be canceled due to too few applicants.

Luo Jia greeted everyone, took a box of yogurt and a box of fresh-cut fruits back to the office, poured the yogurt on the fruit, and added a spoonful of honey, the thick milk fragrance, the sweetness of honey, and The lightness of the fruit, all blended together.

Luo Jia turned on the computer while eating.

In a forum where science enthusiasts gather, the post celebrating the New Year was highlighted by the administrator. The post was not a celebrity, but AAC Technologies, an audio equipment company, was an ordinary test engineer. I am still working overtime.

Who would have thought that this ordinary post would resonate with the technology community, BYD, Changdian, Huawei, Ali, Dongshan Precision, Desai Battery, OFILM, Goodix, etc., almost the entire Chinese technology circle is working overtime at the moment , which of course also includes Star Technology.

"Because my family is local, the company didn't arrange for me to work overtime, and asked me to go home for dinner, but after I got home, my dad just beat me out."

"How old are you, why did your father beat you?"

"My dad said that grandpa was killed in the bombing to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. Now that imperialism has hit the door of the house again, I am not allowed to embarrass grandpa. My colleagues are still working overtime. Why do you go home and eat and drink? If it is because We live close, and I will take your mother to move to Inner Mongolia tomorrow."

"I'll go, your father is really tough, he is indeed a descendant of a soldier."

"Come on! This is an opportunity. Xingchen Technology is awesome. The lithography machine is already in actual combat at SMIC, which is equivalent to tearing a hole in the hegemony of Western semiconductors!"

"That's right, overthrow the Western semiconductor hegemony, just watch this time!"

"The most difficult exposure machine has been fixed. Next, we only need to win the assembly, the radio frequency, the instruction set, and all the fields that should be won, and we will be able to deal a heavy blow to the West! Force them to have negotiation!"

"But how do I hear that the boss of Xingchen Technology seems to be reluctant to negotiate?"

"real or fake?"

"It's not clear whether it's true or not, but Star Search, which once reached a peace agreement with Google, has recently started to take action again. Their Australian companies and South American companies have started to go online for testing. Google is going crazy! After all, the North and South American markets, That's their lifeblood."

After browsing a few pages, Luo Jia let out a sigh.

It's not easy. In this peaceful age, straight men in science and engineering are playing the role of soldiers in the past, silently supporting this war without gunpowder. The millions of engineers in the Chinese science and technology industry are all screaming like chicken blood. Forward, there is no rest at all on New Year's Day, all of them are working overtime.

In fact, there was no such great passion, but Xingchen Technology once again came out at a critical moment and turned the tide. The fourth-generation lithography system has greatly boosted the confidence of the scientific and technological circles. Made, is there any hurdle that cannot be overcome?

As for another major event being discussed in the technology forum, Google and Star Technology once again had a serious conflict because of the search engine problem, which is of course true.

Back then, although Luo Jia reached a settlement with Larry Page, the branches of Star Technology in North and South America have not been withdrawn, and they have continued to expand and grow. Recently, under the direction of the headquarters, Star Search has started large-scale tests. Moreover, it is also recruiting operation specialists locally to prepare for full-scale commercial use in the future.

A series of big actions have completely shocked Google. There are rumors that the second search engine war is about to start again, and the agreement a few years ago is about to be torn up.

Luo Jia looked at the Western Science and Technology Forum again. The fourth-generation lithography machine was successful in trial operation. It was not intended to be hidden. There were many people involved, and it was impossible to hide it. Therefore, the other side of the Pacific got the news immediately. And deeply shocked.

"The latest news, Star Technology's fourth-generation machine has been successfully tested. This afternoon, the first 12-inch wafer flowed out from SMIC's C1 line!"

"Trial production so soon? Don't Huaxia's engineers eat or sleep?"

"As far as I know, they really are. SMIC's team has been in the company for food and lodging for the past month."

"What level of trial production?"

"It is said to be seven nanometers, full immersion process, filled with high ionic liquid provided by Xingchen Chemical."

"The seven-nanometer technology should be behind. The five-nanometer and three-nanometer technologies are the key to future competition."

"What you said, since it is a trial run, there is no need to challenge such a high level of craftsmanship. With the official production and the accumulation of experience, let alone three nanometers, I am afraid that even 0.3 nanometers will not be able to stop the Chinese people. After all, the stars The technological machine is a whole generation ahead of us!"

"It's troublesome. This time it's really troublesome. Although the lithography machine is not the whole of the semiconductor industry, it has laid a solid foundation. In the future, it may really occupy the entire semiconductor industry."

"After such a big event, the fourth-generation machines of Xingchen Technology have been successfully trial-produced. Why is there no movement from the Semiconductor Alliance? What are they doing?"

"There are too many companies involved in the Semiconductor Alliance. Intel, Samsung, Qualcomm, GlobalFoundries, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, IBM, everyone is a big boss, and no one can make a promise. It is inevitable that there will be disputes during the meeting. As for Huaxia, Xingchen Technology is the champion, Huawei is ranked second, and all the younger brothers follow, basically just follow the orders."

"Hey, the efficiency is really low. Not only is Huaxia's efficiency high, but the engineers are even more desperate. In order to kill us, they worked overtime. This time, I don't see it."

"If it's a big deal, let's negotiate. Half of the semiconductor industry will use Xingchen's lithography and Huawei's 5G technology to replace our processors and storage."

"Whether it's a negotiation, wouldn't the Huaxia people take advantage of it? They don't have many cards now."

"It's all because the Tough Guys are too crazy. It seems that the leaders of the Semiconductor Alliance are a little scared. Negotiations and exchange of interests must be indispensable. Anyway, as long as you don't fight with Xingchen Technology."

As the night grew darker, Luo Jia read it with gusto. He likes to understand the thoughts of people from all walks of life, and often spends time on forums, but he belongs to the diving party, and he only reads and doesn't talk.

When the time pointed to three o'clock in the morning, Luo Jia's phone rang suddenly. It was Tang Jie from Star Search.

"Boss Luo hasn't slept yet?" Tang Jie said after the call was connected.

"Hurry up, I'm waiting for news from you, but you are really slow." Luo Jia said.

Tang Jie smiled wryly, "I'm not a fairy. Two companies in North America, two in Australia, South America and 33 countries in Latin America went online at once. What about the second test."

Tang Jie muttered, and Luo Jia interrupted him, "I know that it's not easy for you and Lao Guo. I know it well. After this matter is over, I invite you to drink! Tell me, what's going on now?"

Tang Jie laughed, "Fortunately, the mission was fulfilled. When the bell rang on New Year's Day, all 37 of our branches in Australia, North America, and the entire Latin America successfully launched their search business collectively!"

"The war that was not finished back then has started again now. I guess Google is already scolding their mother with anger at this moment. I never thought that we would choose to tear up the agreement on the first day of the new year."

Tang Jie paused, "However, Google's share in the semiconductor alliance is not too large. Even if we force Google to death, I'm afraid there will be no way to gain more share in the semiconductor field."

Hehe~

After listening to Tang Jie's words, Luo Jia suddenly sneered twice, the voice was a little strange, which made Tang Jie feel a chill down his back.

Luo Jia said indifferently: "Tonight, when you re-launched Star Search and fought Google for the second time, Star Chemical has cut off the photoresist supply from Intel and Samsung, and Star Software has cut off the industrial software interface in North America. "

"Since they want to play big, let them come here."

"As for what kind of share we should have in the semiconductor field, that is not a multiple-choice question, or even a question."

"In the real world, only children make choices, adults, all of them!"
