Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen, your Longxing Group also has a secret base in Shen City, an area close to the seaside."

Shencheng Longgang.

Throwing dog ridge.

After Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun got off the car, he looked at the large industrial park in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

I thought I had seen the entire Longxing Group, but I didn't expect that the Bantian base was just the tip of the iceberg.

"It was when I saw it was close to the sea that I thought about investing money in development. Now the Longxing Group's data center and Pangu supercomputer are taking a bath in the sea."

Chen Xing had no intention of hiding anything and stated the benefits of choosing the location.

Perhaps many people don’t understand how costly cooling is.

The 2015 national statistical data center energy consumption report pointed out that the total energy consumption of the data centers of Penguin, Ali, Wangdong and other Internet companies reached hundreds of billions of electricity, which is more than the total annual power generation of the Three Gorges Dam. Quite a few.

Nearly half of the power is used to dissipate heat from the device.

In order to solve the problem of high cooling costs, Internet companies have followed the example of Silicon Valley technology companies since 2014. Some have thrown their data centers into the sea, and some have relocated to cold areas and hired hundreds of people.

Jack Ma heard this and praised: "It's really good to put it in the sea. My data center is placed in the sea. It can save tens of billions every year."

"Hey, talking about cooling." Brother Ma couldn't help but interrupt and continued: "I plan to move Penguin's data center to the Antarctic. What do you think of this idea?"

"Antarctica, Antarctica is fine." Zhou Hongwei nodded slightly and said, "Isn't Facebook's data center in Antarctica? I doubt if his servers will catch a cold."

"It doesn't have to be as far away as Antarctica. I feel that the temperature in the Mohe area in the northeast is quite low. The key is to stay at home, where the procedures and resistance are relatively small." Li Yanhong, CEO of Baidu Technology Company, suggested.

Regarding the heat dissipation issue, he had actually planned it very early. He also thought about sinking into the sea, or imitating Silicon Valley companies and running to the Antarctic. However, after careful consideration, he decided to set his sights on the Northeast.

"Northeast, Northeastern is fine."

Brother Ma nodded.

Because they are all Internet companies, the topic they cannot avoid is heat dissipation.

Several people were walking and chatting. While talking, they did not forget to look at the industrial park. The scale of construction here exceeded their expectations.

After nearly a year of construction, the originally sterile Baoguling area has long been transformed. A daily commercial area has been built in Liujia Village, including fast food restaurants, milk tea shops, hot pot restaurants, barber shops, gyms and other commercial shops.

The original villagers of Liujia Village were relocated collectively and went to live in urban Shenzhen City, becoming veritable demolition households.

The commercial area and the industrial area are separated by a large number of green plants.

Since the photolithography factory is close to the commercial area, in order to ensure smooth production, the planners and designers also used a football field to separate the two areas and set up additional access roads.

Of course.

This is just the main entrance.

There is also the entrance to the industrial park.

Entering from the northern entrance of Baogouling, you can go directly to the dormitory living area, and beyond that is the planned production factory area, as well as the second commercial area for daily necessities.

Because the area of ​​tens of thousands of acres of Paogou Ling is too vast, the current development progress is only less than 30%, and 70% is still under construction. It is expected that it will take three years before Paogou Ling can truly be transformed.

"This is the photolithography factory area. The God chips and Huaxia chips currently used by Longxing Group are produced here."

Chen Xing explained.

"Can I go in for a visit?"

Huang Renxun asked.

He was so curious about the photolithography factory. At first, he racked his brains and couldn't figure out how Qingzhou chips and God chips were produced.

Western media and experts in related fields are even thinking in the direction of creationism, saying that God gave Chen Xing the chip.

Huang Renxun didn't believe this. He would rather believe that the Qingzhou chip and the God chip were given by charging phone bills, rather than believe in the so-called gift from God. This is too nonsense.

But then again, the original semiconductor chip blockade was not just photoresist, resin materials, EDA software and instruction sets, but also the most critical photolithography machine.

Let’s not talk about the most advanced EUV lithography machine. Take the 28-nanometer DUV lithography machine as an example. The Dutch ASML company has set restrictions at all levels and even dispatched live monitors to supervise.

But under this difficult predicament, Longxing Group successively announced that it had conquered 14-nanometer and 7-nanometer chips, which shocked Huang Renxun and even the entire Silicon Valley technology circle. They really couldn't figure out any way to replace the lithography machine. Complete the chip photolithography process.

Jack Ma, Li Yanhong, Zhou Hongwei and others all cast curious glances, and they all wanted to go in and visit.

"no problem."

Chen Xing nodded slightly and explained: "This time I brought all the bosses here, mainly to show the lithography factory, and to ask Master Huang to give his opinions on how to build the second phase of the Nuwa supercomputer."

Since he has obtained Nvidia's latest graphics card core data, he also wants to produce it as soon as possible and build the second phase of supercomputers.

At present, the computing power of Pangu supercomputer is 12.59 petaflops of floating point operations per second, which is 5 petaflops less than the Titan supercomputer in the United States.

For the coming smart era, the consumption of computing power is very large.

12.59 petaflops of floating-point operations is far from enough. For Chen Xing, who has a "phobia of insufficient firepower", he must reach at least 25 petaflops of floating-point operations to ensure his leading position in the future intelligent era.

"I see."

Huang Renxun and others also understood. No wonder Chen Xing would suddenly take them to visit the Longxing Group's industrial park. It turned out that the invitation was issued with this idea in mind.

With Chen Xing leading the way and swiping their permission cards, everyone walked into the first phase of the photolithography factory and walked through the corridor to the production control room.

"Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen."

Several engineers responsible for supervising production immediately stood up and greeted Chen Xing one after another.

"Well, you just need to work normally, we'll just take a look."

Chen Xing asked them to sit down.

After hearing this, the engineers returned to their posts one after another.

Huang Renxun looked at the OLED screen in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this fully automated production?"

"almost."

Chen Xing nodded and continued: "Except for the semiconductor wafers and photoresist that need to be manually filled into the spare warehouse, everything else can be produced automatically. In addition to the monitoring room, this is also the control room of the machine."

"Incredible."

Huang Renxun murmured to himself.

The other bosses were also dumbfounded.

Although the concept of a photolithography factory had been exposed by Chen Xing, this was their first visit and the first time they learned that the photolithography factory is a fully automated production and does not require too many photolithography engineers at all.

Compared with traditional lithography machines, lithography factories are more like fully automatic assembly lines, with greatly improved production capacity and quality.

"Mr. Chen would like to ask, where does the pure light needed for lithography come from?" Huang Renxun asked shamelessly.

He was so curious.

The photolithography factory broke his cognition.

He thought it was a scam, a plan to use photolithography machines to disrupt the West, but he was unexpectedly brought in for a visit.

What else can be said?

If there weren't so many people, he would have knelt down and begged Chen Xing to tell him what the principle of the photolithography factory was.

Other bosses were also very curious. They all wanted to know where the light came from.

You must know that the light of the photolithography chip must not have any clutter, and its purity and energy intensity must be ensured.

For example, take a magnifying glass and focus the beam of sunlight. It seems that the energy is very strong, but in fact it is far from enough for photolithography needs.

Anyone who has learned about chip etching knows that photolithography takes place in an instant, and the energy erupted at that moment is forty or even fifty times that of daily sunlight.

The most important thing is that the purity of sunlight cannot be guaranteed and cannot be used for photolithography.

"Light."

Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, briefly explained the principle and said: "You should understand Maxwell's equations."

"This equation states that as long as an electron accelerates, it will emit electromagnetic waves. In other words, as long as we accelerate the electron to a certain speed, we can obtain an electron in the wavelength band we want."

"By gathering electrons in these wavelength bands using magnetic confinement, we can obtain deep ultraviolet light and extreme ultraviolet light beams."

Although he is an ally of intelligent AI, Chen Xing did not explain the principle in detail and deliberately avoided equipment such as particle accelerators and ring memories.

Even if today's conversation is leaked, no one will be able to conquer the core technology of the lithography factory within ten years.

"Awesome!"

"It's so bold for a skilled artist!"

"Niu, you have to find a new way!"

The bosses all praised it.

Did they understand?

The answer is cruel, no.

They experienced Maxwell's equations, electron acceleration, and magnetic constraints for themselves, and couldn't remember them all.

Of course.

The most important thing is that they are not in the semiconductor field.

Internet company CEOs don’t talk about Maxwell’s equations. They only have one thing in mind, and that is how to make money.

However, Huang Renxun understands a little bit. After all, Nvidia is a graphics card manufacturer. After the graphics card is removed from the casing, the GPU inside is actually no different from the CPU. They are all bare chips.

"President."

At this time, a young voice came from the door.

Chen Xing and others looked back and saw Lin Tian, ​​who was wearing a white coat but still had yellow hair. He looked a bit nondescript.

"this…"

Although Jack Ma, Huang Renxun and others didn't say anything, they were all wondering in their hearts, which energetic guy from this family had slipped in?

"You came just in time."

While Chen Xing nodded, he introduced him: "This is Penguin CEO Xiao Ma, Ali's CEO Jack Ma, Baidu CEO Li Yanhong, Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun..."

Afraid that Lin Tian would not understand, Chen Xing introduced their backgrounds one by one.

After introducing the last person, Zhou Hongwei, he glanced at all the bosses and introduced: "This is the lithography chief of our Longxing Group, Lin Tian. He came back from ASML in the Netherlands. He is relatively bohemian."

"Chief Lin, nice to meet you."

"It turns out he is a returnee from overseas. Let me tell you, why is he so unique?"

"Chief Lin, please give me your advice."

Although in their impression, scientific researchers all have black hair, after Chen Xing's explanation, it seems to be a lot more reasonable. After all, Western culture focuses on openness. Like some men's and women's parties, they can have their hair dyed two or three times a week. It seems acceptable.

"I have long admired you, CEOs." Lin Tian said hello, then looked at Chen Xing and asked: "I just checked WeChat, CEO, did you say there are new production tasks?"

"right."

Chen Xing nodded, took out the core data hard drive of NVIDIA X80, and handed it to Lin Tiandao: "This is the latest model of NVIDIA, a graphics card focusing on the field of artificial intelligence. I plan to use it to build the Nuwa supercomputer to make up for the Pangu supercomputer. The problem of insufficient computer power.”

"correct."

He looked at Huang Renxun and asked: "Master Huang, I would like to ask, how many Nvidia X80 graphics cards are needed to achieve the computing power of the Titan supercomputer?"

The Titan supercomputer uses Nvidia graphics cards, and it is also the supercomputer with the highest computing power publicly disclosed in the United States.

Now that Huang Renxun is here, the data naturally needs to be clarified.

"As for the Titan supercomputer..." Huang Renxun thought for a while and responded: "Actually, I don't know much about it, because the United States has continuously expanded the computing room. We only participated in the first phase of construction and will only provide graphics cards in the future."

"Then do you remember clearly how many graphics cards were provided?" Chen Xing asked again.

"The graphics card at that time was the X50, which seemed to provide 120,000 pictures. The follow-up was the X60, which provided 70,000 pictures, and the X70 also provided 50,000 pictures. Its actual computing power will be much higher than the announced one." Huang Renxun will know. The message is spoken.

Why are graphics cards scarce?

It's so versatile!

Many players think that they cannot get graphics cards because other players are competing with them. In fact, this is not the case. Those who are rushing to buy graphics cards with them may also be major laboratories.

"If you want to build a 30 petaflop supercomputer, how many X80 graphics cards will you need?" Chen Xing asked again.

"Let's make a base of 200,000."

Huang Renxun responded.

He didn't know what Chen Xing's use of such high computing power was, but since he asked, he could only give a rough idea.

"Chief Lin, you heard me. I need you to produce 200,000 Nvidia X80 graphics cards as quickly as possible."

"clear."

Lin Tian nodded in response.

Maybe the bosses present couldn't understand why Chen Xing spent a lot of money to pursue such high computing power when the computing power of the Pangu supercomputer was already more than sufficient.

However.

Only Chen Xing knows.

In the era of intelligence, computing power is king.

Nowadays, homes and assistants have gradually become intelligent. When the first generation of Jiuzhou AI comes out, the demand for computing power will increase several times or even ten times.

In addition to the surge in demand for computing power, there is also a demand for intelligence.

Since ternary chips are still under development, training Ai requires more computing power.

This is like a child whose IQ is insufficient. The only way to get him to go to college is to use a large number of exercises to practice and let him master the problems.

to be honest.

Or does quantitative change cause qualitative change?

"And..." Chen Xing spoke again. Just as he was about to let Lin Tian study the NVIDIA X80 graphics card carefully, the phone in his pocket made a beep sound, which was a new message on WeChat.

He did not rush to check, but looked at Huang Renxun and Lin Tiandao: "About the production of NVIDIA X80 graphics cards and the construction of the Nuwa supercomputer, you can discuss it more."

"OK."

"Can."

Lin Tian and Huang Renxun looked at each other and nodded in response.

Nvidia's current customer is the Longxing Group, a large computing powerhouse. What other Internet CEOs think is that since Chen Xing wants to build a large computing power, they will stop doing it and just pay for it when the time comes.

"And all the bosses." Chen Xing looked at Li Yanhong, Zhou Hongwei and others, and continued: "Since we are all allies now, I will tell you what I have to say. I hope that Jiuzhou Ai can train at least 15 people before the Spring Festival. The cognitive level of ordinary humans is the bottom line and the red line.”

The cognition of an ordinary 15-year-old human being is below average.

At this time, most teenagers have not yet formed their own way of thinking and cognitive abilities, and they need to be instilled by teachers.

The ages of 20, 30, and 40 are all watershed. Every ten years, with the improvement of experience and experience, people will become smarter.

Why is the old treacherous and cunning old and not "the young treacherous and cunning"?

What it means is that the older a person is and the more experienced he is, the more sophisticated he will be.

"15 years old…"

Jackma thought for a while and responded: "No problem. Before the Spring Festival, the cognitive ability of a 15-year-old should be achieved."

"Let's speed things up."

"Yes, speed up the progress."

Other bosses echoed.

The cognitive ability of a 15-year-old is actually very vague. Even if you only have the cognitive ability of a 13- or 14-year-old, who can tell the difference?

This was Chen Xing's deliberate attempt to let things go. He didn't want to push the company so hard. After all, Jiuzhou Intelligent AI had only been established for half a year.

Huang Renxun has been sharpening his sword for ten years, but they want AI to have the cognitive level of a thirty-year-old human in half a year?

That's basically impossible!

unless…

The ternary chip was successfully launched.

After giving instructions to the bosses, Chen Xing also took out his cell phone to check the messages.

The next second.

His pupils contracted slightly.

[Li Ge - WuXi Group]: "Brain-computer interface only owes Dongfeng."

A brief WeChat message made his brain work rapidly. The brain-computer interface was a project he had planned for a year.

What is the use of brain-computer interface?

How broad are the prospects?

Let's put it this way, it can be implemented in everything from military industry to entertainment.

Let’s talk about the military industry first. Once the brain-computer interface is connected, the drone does not need a remote control, but is directly controlled by the human brain.

The threat level of drones controlled remotely by the human brain will skyrocket.

Furthermore, in terms of medical treatment, the control of nanorobots, or the implantation of equipment in the body, can be completely controlled by the human brain, achieving micron-level precision.

There are also diseases, such as neurological paralysis, blindness, epilepsy, and ALS, which can be cured with it.

The most important thing is that it can realize the interaction between reality and virtuality.

What's the meaning?

Very simple, virtual reality!

The holographic games in online novels will no longer be science fiction, and the brain-computer interface can also be implanted with the functions of mobile phones and computers, getting rid of the burden of external objects.

Because it was widely used, Chen Xing spared no effort to build it, and even went to Xicheng several times to inquire about the progress.

"what happened?"

Jack Ma observed carefully. He clearly saw Chen Xing's pupils shrinking slightly, as if he had seen some important news.

"nothing."

Chen Xing smiled calmly.

He knew very well that he had lost control of his expression management just now, but he couldn't be blamed for this. The brain-computer interface was really important.

Its advent will likely set off a new economic revolution.

(I want to climb up step by step)

(Waiting for the sun to look at its face quietly)

(Small sky has big dreams)

Jay Chou's "Snail" song sounded, and the screen of Chen Xing's mobile phone that had just been turned off also lit up. The caller ID showed ByteDance Zhang Ming.

"Zhang Ming..."

Chen Xing murmured to himself.

After thinking briefly, he looked at Huang Renxun, Jack Ma and others and said, "I'll go out and take a call. You guys can chat first."

"OK."

"OK."

The bosses all agreed.

Chen Xing quickly walked out of the monitoring production room and came to the office on the side. After closing the door, he clicked to answer: "Hello?"

"Mr. Chen, you have to do something for me. I really have nothing to do." Zhang Ming begged, with a tired voice.

In the face of demonstrations and boycotts in the West, he has asked people to issue two apology announcements in a row, but still no one bought it. They felt that the upper beam of ByteDance was crooked, which caused the lower beam to be incorrect.

"What's the trick?"

Chen Xing secretly frowned.

Although he and Zhang Ming have not known each other for a long time, this guy can listen to his own strategic layout. In addition, Longxing Group is the major shareholder of ByteDance, so he definitely cannot sit idly by when something happens.

"Is such that……"

Zhang Ming told the complete story of the racial discrimination caused by "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse".

The more Chen Xing listened, the more something was wrong. He asked, "Where is your review team?"

Although the "Nei Nei Nei Nei" in "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse" does not refer to niggas, but when the pronunciation is so similar, this kind of BGM should be strictly reviewed in Europe and the United States. It is ByteDance's own fault. responsibility.

"this…"

Zhang Ming was a little embarrassed and said coquettishly: "No...no money left. The financing money hasn't arrived yet. Maybe the review...the review department is too tired and didn't turn around right away."

"I see."

Chen Xing did not blame Zhang Ming. ByteDance’s front line was indeed stretched too long.

If it develops normally, Douyin will have to establish a foothold in the country and then invest in the international version. Now it is a two-front battle, and it is normal that the funds cannot keep up.

And this is definitely not a problem of funds, but someone deliberately causing trouble.

The reason is very simple. The moment "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse" became popular, various racist videos appeared and received a lot of attention, indicating that the other party had been quietly ambushing it for days or even months.

Regardless of whether the funds can keep up, video reviews with low popularity are not serious.

There is a saying that goes well, the fewer fans, the better the quality.

Why is the quality good?

Just brush it off!

Because there is a high probability of machine review.

But if you are a big blogger, after every video is posted, it will definitely be reviewed by real people, and they will be watched very closely.

The reason is also very simple. Big bloggers are very large. If they post something unhealthy, the spread will not reach 100,000 people, but may reach millions or tens of millions of people!

Little blogger, loose.

Big blogger, strict.

This is the review logic of short videos.

"Now what?"

Zhang Ming asked again. He really had no idea, so he wanted to consult Chen Xing to see if there was any way.

"Now that the deal is done, there is only one way to go until the end..."

Before Chen Xing finished speaking, Zhang Ming lost his composure and said with a trembling voice: "You, you won't let me really engage in racial discrimination, will you? Something will happen, Mr. Chen!"

"What are you thinking about?"

Chen Xing's tone was speechless, and he expressed his thoughts: "In this situation, no matter how you clarify it, the label of racial discrimination has been bound to TikTok. You know the logic of spreading rumors and then refuting them will break your legs, right?"

"The only way now is to learn the slogan of the Colt revolver, the weapon of equality, the guarantee of liberty."

"What do you mean..." Zhang Ming's eyes lit up, and his mind suddenly turned around. Before he could continue to speak, Chen Xing warned: "As you thought, the top priority now is to collect evidence of the information cocoon room. Strengthen your own label.”

"I understand!" Zhang Ming looked excited, and continued: "Then I will do it now, and I won't bother you, Mr. Chen, I will treat you to dinner later."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Chen Xing smiled calmly.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ming secretly patted his head and said: "Why am I so stupid? I actually followed the other party's rhythm. It must be Chen Xing, who has an extraordinary brain."

On the other side, Chen Xing put the phone back into his pocket and muttered to himself: "The group of behind-the-scenes promoters finally jumped off the wall."

Want to ban TikTok?

Close the publicity channels of Longxing Group?

It's not that easy!
