Technological Hegemony

Luo Jia walked into the conference room of the management bureau on time, and saw that everyone was already seated at the oval conference table. Due to their busy schedules, Di Wuchang and Hong Tao were on a business trip, so they could only participate remotely via video. In addition, Cao Yuan was not there, so he went to the factory Oversaw the production of graphene nanotubes.

Connecting the space station and the earth by traction, graphene nanotubes are equivalent to traction ropes, and it is the top priority of the space elevator plan to withstand unimaginable tension. Cao Yuan is the two major components of graphene and ion thrusters. The person in charge of the core technology will be very busy in the next few years.

"Let's get started." Sitting at the conference table, Luo Jia announced the start of the regular meeting of the management authority.

An Ran took the lead and said: "According to accurate information, a consortium of industry giants such as Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Texas Instruments, Kelin Technology, Google, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, Samsung, Toshiba, Siemens, etc. The team has completed the research and development of the ground modem chip for the Starlink project, and the next step will be handed over to the Semiconductor Alliance to establish the standard."

Luo Jia nodded slightly. The terrifying behemoth of the Semiconductor Alliance is still fierce. The graphene chip of Star Technology has indeed surpassed them, but the Semiconductor Alliance is not a vegetarian.

In this alliance, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon have as many as four super giants with a market value of trillions of dollars, and top companies like Samsung, Qualcomm, Intel, and Siemens with a market value of more than 500 billion dollars, There are no less than 20 companies, and there are countless companies with a level of 100 billion or 10 billion.

When are beasts most ferocious?

Of course it is when you are cornered!

According to intelligence, in the past three years, global scientific research investment has grown rapidly at an average annual rate of 239%. National teams, universities, enterprises, independent research institutes and laboratories are all frantically throwing money at the scientific research field.

This trend was brought about by Xingchen Technology, but Xingchen Technology is also the target that will be attacked in the end. After all, the tough guys have made too many enemies, which is too enviable.

The opponents defeated by them are large-scale such as Google, Apple, medium-sized such as Shin-Etsu Chemical, TDK, Taiyo Yuden, and small-scale such as those unknown start-ups. The investment in research and development funds is undoubtedly aimed at challenging Xingchen Technology.

"I have to be careful. Musk is obviously serious about the Starlink project." Luo Jia frowned and said, "When I was on the phone with the general a few days ago, he told me an important piece of news."

"Oh? What news?"

"Is it about the Starlink project in North America, or the super modem?"

Everyone hurriedly asked, the general, as the top boss of the national team and a strong supporter of Xingchen Technology, his sources of information often play a vital role in the company's development and decision-making, so we must attach great importance to it.

Luo Jia shook his head, "It's not about the Starlink project, but it's more important than the Starlink project."

"It's even more important than the Starlink project!? Is it another big move by the West?" An Ran was taken aback, "Damn it! Regardless of whether Starlink succeeds or not, this guy Musk will occupy Earth's low-Earth orbit resources."

"Orbital resources are also limited. If Musk is in the low-earth orbit of the earth and is still full of North American satellites, if we want to build a Starlink network in the future,

We have to go to high orbit, and the high orbit star network will bring us huge technical difficulties. "

An Ran complained that Musk, a bad old man, is actually very bad. Low-Earth orbit resources are a radish and a pit. According to international conventions, after the orbit is occupied, unless the West takes the initiative to sell it, otherwise China has no way to compete with them for orbital resources. Shooting down Western satellites is tantamount to directly declaring World War III.

So An Ran was very angry. Musk launched communication satellites so fast. According to his damn plan, a total of 64,000 communication satellites would completely occupy the low-Earth orbit, leaving no gaps for Huaxia.

"Don't worry about the orbit." Luo Jia resolutely said: "Because our ultimate goal is not some star network, but space hegemony!"

"Under this premise, the importance of the space elevator far exceeds that of the star network! Once the elevator is successfully established, we will permanently solve the transportation problem from the earth to space, and truly take a historic step towards the sea of ​​stars. As for Orbit, since Musk likes low orbit so much, give them low orbit.

"Here comes the problem. India is so far away, it seems irrelevant, but it hates us very much, and is always on guard against us. Do you know why?"

Everyone knew that Boss Luo's jumping thinking broke out again. He was obviously talking about the issue of space, but in a blink of an eye he jumped to India, space and Ah San. This is a bit of a leap.

"Because of our absolute suppression in height, the armored torrent swooped down from our country's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, directly to Delhi, the capital of India. The giant artillery built according to the terrain of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau can bomb large areas of India, and Indians cannot come up. We have guns over their heads, and anyone would be restless."

After hearing Luo Jia's words, everyone nodded.

Indeed, with the natural platform of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Huaxia is like standing on the hillside overlooking Ah San at the foot of the mountain. Throwing a stone at will can hit Ah San's head. This is the geographical advantage mentioned in the Art of War by Sun Tzu.

"Similarly, even if North America occupies the low orbit, we can suppress them in the middle or high orbit. As for the technology needed in the middle and high orbits, don't forget that we are the Star Technology Group, the mountain of quantum, and sooner or later we will to conquer it."

Over the past few years, Luo Jia's voice has always been so uplifting. Whenever he explained the company's technical roadmap and assigned tasks to the tough guys, the kind of wisdom and determination with a tiger in his chest and insight into the future has always been the driving force for everyone to move forward. It seems that as long as you follow Luo Jia, you will always reach the end.

But it's no wonder, as the inheritor of the golden dome, Luo Jia really knows how to climb the technology tree, and he can't go wrong to guide the people on earth.

"Teacher, what news did the general reveal to you? It is more important than the current Starlink project?" Shen Lang couldn't help asking.

Luo Jia's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The general told me that the West was unwilling to fail in the semiconductor field, so it launched the 3D chip project, and recently, good news came from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, they successfully used nine Ten-nanometer silicon chip technology has achieved the equivalent efficiency of a three-nanometer chip."

what! ?

Everyone was amazed that the 3D chip technology in North America had made a breakthrough! ?

To put it simply, Xingchen Technology replaced silicon wafers with graphene wafers, which is a breakthrough in materials science. This is like the change of materials from the Bronze Age to the Black Iron Age, so the bronze sword became an iron sword, and the combat effectiveness was greatly improved. improve.

The 3D chip technology is a structural innovation, which is like transforming a bronze sword into a thunderbolt bronze sword. Although there is no innovation in material science, structural innovation can also improve combat effectiveness.

Judging from the current news, this kind of improvement is not small. Using 90 nanometer technology to achieve the effect of three nanometers, the improvement is at least 30 times!

According to this calculation, with the cooperation of TSMC, Intel can easily use two-nanometer technology to achieve 0.06-nanometer performance, thus posing a major threat to Star Technology's 0.01-nanometer technology, directly shortening the The generation gap between the stars technology!

After all, the gap between two-nanometer technology and 0.01-nanometer technology is almost as large as the sky and the ground. There is no way to compare it, and the gap between 0.01-nanometer and 0.06-nanometer technology is much smaller. .

Looking around, Luo Jia looked at everyone frowning, and continued: "In addition, the chief executive of the North American 3D chip project, I believe some of you should have heard of his name, he is the semiconductor genius from MIT, Max Shulakel !"

"It turned out to be that freak, so there's nothing strange about it." An Ran shook her head, and said helplessly, "Both came from MIT, Shula Keer counted, he was still the junior brother of me and Cao Yuan, he His status in the semiconductor field is similar to that of Cao Yuan in the field of materials science. If the 3D chip is his masterpiece, then he can also become a god in the semiconductor field with this technology, but I don’t know when he went to the Oak Ridge experiment. room."

An Ran is the No. 2 genius in the company after Luo Jia, and he has to pay attention to this guy named Shula Keer so much.

Cao Yuan nodded and said: "Brother An Ran is right. When we were in Massachusetts, we were joking. There are Jack Ma and Ma Huateng in China, and there are two horses in North America. They are Max Schulaker and Elon Musk. Except that there is no Musk. Qian, Shulakel's talent is by no means inferior to Musk's. He is really good. He presided over the Massachusetts Semiconductor Laboratory at the age of 21. You know, our school is the number one existence in the world in science and engineering, and it is considered age. , he is two years younger than me, and he is only twenty-four this year."

Huh~

After hearing An Ran and Cao Yuan's introduction to this magical junior from Massachusetts, everyone gasped.

As the saying goes, there are evildoers every year, especially this year, maybe this world has its own balance, China has produced a lot of geniuses headed by Luo Jia, the Creator can't stand it anymore, so he also planted on the western land. A vote called the seed of genius as a source of confrontation between East and West.

"This is a sign of fierce competition." Zhang Dongning put his head in his hands and said, "Although I don't understand chips, there have been many major events in the chemical field where I work recently. Our high-performance solid tires and modified fully synthetic Photoresist has been challenged by strong technology. Although it is not enough to subvert us, the future is still very serious. If you relax a little bit, you may lose your hard-won leading edge. This is not a good phenomenon. It seems that overnight During this period, many technologies in the West began to emerge.”

Luo Jia smiled, "It's nothing abnormal. On the contrary, the technological explosion in the West is completely in line with my previous expectations. After all, as the West loses its leading edge, they will also be anxious and increase investment in scientific research."

"Since when did we start to establish a dominant position in scientific research?"

"It's not very long, it's just the past two years. The company has been established for almost seven years. In the past years, we have been playing the role of chasers, desperately reserving technology and doing research and development. It was not until these two years that we finally started to break out. If we put it three years ago, we would never have dared to propose the space program, because the research and development and technical reserves are not in place, even if it is mentioned, it is a fantasy."

"The West has started to catch up after we took the lead. Calculated according to the scientific research cycle, they should come up with results one after another in the future. 3D chips, star chains, and the modified photoresist that Zhang Dongning just mentioned are just the beginning. "

"Damn it!" Wen Chengling muttered, "It's only been half a year since the end of the semiconductor war, and it's about to start fighting again. If it goes on like this, sooner or later, people's brains will be beaten into dog brains! Can't those guys from the Semiconductor Alliance calm down a little bit?" ?”

"How to stop?" Luo Jia asked back, "Who would dare to give up chip hegemony? Even if they lose the automobile manufacturing industry with the highest output value, the West must not lose the chip industry, because chips represent the future. According to today's technological development trends, every future A teacup, every light bulb, and everyone’s head must have a large number of chips installed, do you dare to put chips made by Intel in your head?”

Uh…

Wen Chengling shook his head hastily, "Don't dare, what if they control my thinking and turn me into a puppet?"

Luo Jia said, "This is where the problem lies. Chip supremacy, life science supremacy, quantum supremacy, energy supremacy, space supremacy, etc., these are all desperate to fight for. There is no doubt that the West will fight back again and again. , until the ability to struggle is completely lost."

"Just now An Ran talked about the Starlink project. If you want me to say, not only can't stop them from launching the Starlink project, but also encourage them! Try to let them do it on a larger scale, the better!"

"By the time they spend trillions of dollars and get the Starlink network out, our space elevator should have been built successfully. At that time, we will use cabbage prices to deploy satellites, and use stronger technology to deploy high-speed space elevators." Orbit star network, and then abolish their star chain! Let them experience what it means to be completely desperate!"

After listening to Luo Jia's words, everyone was immediately excited. It's really dark enough to let them spend trillions of dollars to abolish the star network in North America. If the White House knows Luo Jia's dark thoughts deep in his heart, he should be angry vomiting blood?

After all, from the perspective of North America, these tens of billions of dollars are really worth spending. In the future, they will be able to rule the hegemony of the Internet and communications and double their earnings, so they don't hesitate to invest.

But actually, making money?

Don't even think about leaving the pants!

"Technical problems must be solved with technical means." Luo Jia said in a deep voice, "Notify the Administration Department that all members of the brainstorming team will be called at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
