Technological Hegemony

Tang Jie is also a veteran of the company. Back then, after the first search war between Star Technology and Google, Tang Jie and Guo Guangmao became the person in charge of Star Search, of which Guo Guangmao was in charge of the inside and Tang Jie was in charge of the outside.

All the subsidiaries of Xingchen Technology can basically take the lead with powerful technology and establish their status in the world in one fell swoop, only Xingchen Search is an exception.

At the beginning of its establishment, Star Search only accounted for 20% of the global market share. It has been fighting all the way until it finally has an equal share with Google in the global search market.

From the beginning to the end, Star Search, a subsidiary, has been in a state of war, especially in the fiercely competitive European market. In the past few years, they have been fighting with Google, and their brains are almost out of their minds.

With all the straight men in science and engineering everywhere in Xingchen Technology, Tang Jie's ability and courage to be able to hold the position of vice president as a liberal arts student is a testament to his ability and courage.

However, after listening to Luo Jia's description, Tang Jie, who had seen the big world, was stunned and completely dumbfounded.

If only one subsidiary of Xingchen Search took action, it could be regarded as retaliation to the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean, but now the headquarters and all subsidiaries are all involved. This is not a question of revenge, but a war!

"Mr. Luo, are you kidding me?" Tang Jie asked nervously after swallowing a mouthful.

Luo Jia picked up the teacup and said slowly: "This kind of thing can't be joked about. The action is relatively big, and it is necessary to keep it secret, so I didn't tell you."

Tang Jie smiled bitterly, and Luo Jia told Xingchen Search, hit me hard on the first day of the new year!

In the same way, he also issued an order to all subsidiaries, and everyone acted separately, and finally on New Year's Day, it became everyone who launched an attack together.

"Don't worry, just do your job well." Luo Jia comforted Tang Jie and said, "This time, we have no way out. If we lose, we will eat grass from now on. If we win, we will eat meat from now on. If we surrender, From now on, I can only eat shit."

...

The first day of the fifth year of Star Technology's founding is destined not to be an ordinary day, because the tough guys launched a large-scale retaliation against North America at the beginning of the new year.

The West is not monolithic either. Luo Jia adopts the strategy of pulling one faction against another faction, and the targets of revenge are limited to North America.

Other regions, led by Europe,

Not included in the retaliation list, when I went to work early the next morning, the Star Industrial software in the European region was running as usual, and the purchase orders were still going according to the process.

However, North America is different. Industrial software customers have received notices of deactivation. Intel and GlobalFoundries have also received bad news that the modified fully synthetic photoresist of the Star brand is no longer available.

In the next few days, public opinion fermented rapidly, and the global media paid attention to this East-West technology war.

In particular, the news of the successful trial production of the fourth-generation lithography machine has shocked the world too much.

The West has always been contemptuous of China's scientific research capabilities, and does not believe that the fourth-generation lithography machine really exists. Although Luo Jia gave a public speech that day, and the theory was sound, but having a theory does not mean that it can be realized. The Western scientific community generally believes that Star Technology The bluff component is relatively large.

Now it’s a complete Thresh, the 12-inch wafers of SMIC’s C1 line have all rolled off the assembly line. If anyone reaches this stage and still doesn’t believe in the technology of Xingchen Technology, then there may be something wrong with his head.

"For things like war, you either don't fight. If you want to fight, you must hurt the other party." In the office, Luo Jia said to Li Moran.

In a short period of time, Li Moran had a lot of gray hairs on his forehead, and started to develop the assembly and instruction set software department, which faced no less pressure than the hardware department.

After all, this is an all-Chinese underlying machine architecture. Many generations of scientists have dreamed of something. Only by subverting the underlying hardware can we gain real dominance in the semiconductor field, otherwise we will always be able to catch up with the West.

"I don't think it hurts that much, does it? Have you read today's New York Times column?"

There was a voice outside the door, and then An Ran strode in with dark circles under his eyes. He was on maternity leave with his wife, but he was still paying attention to the company's affairs. Judging by his mental state, he probably hadn't slept much for several days.

"Didn't you agree to let you stay with your wife and not worry about the company's affairs? I have me in the hardware and Moran in the software, so there can be no trouble." Luo Jia muttered.

Li Moran nodded again and again, everyone wanted An Ran to take a big vacation. Over the past few years, he has worked hard enough, it's time to spend time with his wife and children.

An Ran was furious, and swipe on the phone screen to transfer the article to Luo Jia and Li Moran's phones, "Let's talk after you read this article."

Luo Jia bowed his head. He was always a fast reader, so he finished it in a short time.

To put it simply, this is an article mocking China. The New York Times compares the fourth-generation lithography machine to Gandalf’s magic cane, compares the Chinese people to a group of dwarves, and concludes that the wand fell into the hands of dwarves who can only forge iron. , is a purely violent conclusion.

Then the topic changed, and the author talked about the fact that Xingchen Technology cut off the supply of photoresist, and he was sarcasm again, saying that Xingchen Technology stopped supplying glue to the greatest extent, but Intel can directly make the whole of China have no CPU available, which provokes people like Intel. Giants, simply bored.

Anyway, it was doing its best to ridicule Star Technology and Huaxia Science and Technology. In the field of semiconductors, China needs North America more than North America needs China. The negotiation of China's negotiations only adds weight, not enough evidence.

Luo Jia shrugged after reading the article, "People are right. We need North America more than North America needs us at this stage. After all, semiconductor is a huge industry. Only lithography machines can't make CPUs. So far, even our wafers have been imported from our old rival Neon Shin-Etsu."

"Of course I know that the domestic semiconductor industry is still very weak, and it is difficult to engage in research and development, but I really can't bear the power of speech being completely controlled by the Western world." An Ran complained: "You have made so many programs, and what you release is all dry goods , As a result, how many people in the world read it? Everyone is still used to reading Western reports, which is this kind of rubbish.”

Luo Jia complained: "That's why I said that cultural hegemony is the end of all hegemony. After mastering the right to speak in public opinion, you can say black into white and wrong into right."

"Over the years, Hollywood movies have repeatedly brainwashed us, causing many Chinese young people to envy Western young people who drink alcohol, have promiscuity, take drugs every day, envy their endless parties, envy their noisy, and call teachers and elders directly name, there are no rules in class, and the teacher can’t control it, I think it’s free and easy.”

"Thinking about it is also very speechless. It is obviously uneducated, but it can be related to freedom."

Luo Jia complained a lot, then said with a mysterious smile: "However, it is a coincidence that you came today. After a while, there will be an experiment at Cao Yuan's side. It is also because of this that I brought Mo Ran here. You Now that you are here at the company, do you want to go and have a look together?"

Cao Yuan's experiment! ?

An Ran was shocked and jumped up from the sofa excitedly.

The material department of the company has three great talents, among which Cao Yuan specializes in graphene, or more precisely, he specializes in graphene preparation technology.

Graphene is really powerful. It has a unique energy band structure and is a unique zero-bandgap semiconductor. Its conductive electrons can stably exist in zero-mass Dirac fermions at room temperature, which makes graphene When conducting, the energy loss is extremely low.

Luo Jia wants to see Cao Yuan's experiment specifically. Could it be that the graphene laboratory has made a huge breakthrough in the preparation process?

An Ran thought, his heart almost jumped out of excitement, between his wife and children and Cao Yuan's experiment, he chose the latter without hesitation.

"Then why are you standing still? Let's go!" An Ran said quickly, "If graphene can be produced, I will kill them!"
