Chapter 471 3D Chip The Semiconductor Alliance's Counterattack Begins!
Luo Jia walked into the conference room of the Administration Bureau on time and saw that everyone was sitting at the oval conference table. Di Wuchang and Hong Tao were busy with business trips and could only participate remotely through videos. In addition, Cao Yuan was not there either. He went to the factory to supervise the production of graphene nanotubes.
Connecting the space station and the earth by traction, the function of graphene nanotubes is equivalent to traction ropes, and having to withstand unimaginable pulling forces is the top priority of the space elevator plan. As the person in charge of the two core technologies of graphene and ion propeller, Cao Yuan will be very busy in the next few years.
"Let's start." Sitting at the beginning of the conference table, Luo Jia announced the start of the regular meeting of the Administration.
Enron took the lead in speaking: "According to accurate information, a joint team composed of Intel, Amd, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Texas Instruments, Colin Technology, Google, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, Samsung, Toshiba, Siemens, etc., has completed the research and development of Starlink's ground modem and demodulation chips. The next step will be left to the Semiconductor Alliance to establish standards."
Luo Jia nodded slightly. The terrifying behemoth of the Semiconductor Alliance is still fierce. Xingchen Technology's graphene chips have indeed surpassed them, but the Semiconductor Alliance is not a vegetarian.
In this alliance, there are as many as four super giants with a market value of trillions of dollars, and there are no less than 20 top companies like Samsung, Qualcomm, Intel, and Siemens with a market value of more than 500 billion US dollars. As for companies with a market value of trillions of dollars, there are countless.
When is the wild beast the most ferocious?
Of course it is when you are forced into a dead end!
Information shows that in the past three years, global scientific research investment has grown rapidly at an average rate of 239% every year. National teams, universities, enterprises, independent research institutes and laboratories are all spending money on the scientific research field in a crazy way.
This trend was brought up by Xingchen Technology, but Xingchen Technology is also the target of the eventual attack. After all, the tough guy group has too many enemies and is too jealous.
The opponents they defeated, such as Google, Apple, medium-sized, such as Shinyue Chemical, TDK, Sunsuiting, and small, such as unknown startups, are the things they want to see most that Xingchen Technology dies on the spot, and the large investment in R&D funds is undoubtedly aimed at challenging Xingchen Technology.
"You have to be careful. Musk is obviously serious about the Starlink plan." Luo Jia frowned and said, "When I was on the phone with the general a few days ago, he told me an important news."
"Oh? What news?"
“Is it about the Starlink program in North America, or a super modem?”
Everyone asked hurriedly that as the top boss of the national team and a strong supporter of Star Technology, his source of information often plays a crucial role in the company's development and decision-making, and must be taken seriously.
Luo Jia shook her head, "It's not news about the Starlink Plan, but it's more important than the Starlink Plan."
"It's actually more important than the Starlink plan!? Is it another big move from the West?" An Ran was stunned, "Damn it! Whether Starlink is successful or not, Musk will occupy the Earth's near-Earth orbit resources."
"Orbital resources are also limited. If Musk is in the Earth's low-Earth orbit and still fills North American satellites, if we want to build a satellite network in the future, we have to go to a high-orbit. The high-orbit satellite network will bring us huge technical difficulties."
An Ran complained that Musk, the old man, was actually very bad. Low-Earth orbit resources were a carrot and a pit. According to international conventions, after the orbit was occupied, unless the West took the initiative to sell it, China would have no way to compete with them for orbit resources. If it fired Western satellites with missiles, it would be equivalent to directly declaring World War III.
So An Ran was very angry. Musk was launching communication satellites so fast that according to his damn plan, there were 64,000 communication satellites that would completely occupy the near-Earth orbit and not even leave a gap for China.
"Don't worry about orbit." Luo Jia made a decisive decision: "Because our ultimate goal is not the Star Network, but the hegemony of space!"
"Under this premise, the importance of space elevators is far greater than that of Star Network! Once the elevator is successfully established, we will permanently solve the traffic problem from the earth to space and truly take a historic step towards the sea of stars. As for orbits, since Musk likes low orbits so much, give them the low orbits.
"The problem is that India is clearly far away, but it seems irrelevant, but it hates us very much and guards against us everywhere. Do you know why?"
Everyone knew that Mr. Luo's jumping thinking had occurred again. He was clearly talking about the problem of space, but he jumped to India again in a blink of an eye. Space and Ah San, this leap was a bit big.
"Because of our absolute suppression at altitude, the armored torrents dived from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in our country, directly into the Indian capital Delhi. Build giant cannons according to the terrain of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to bomb large areas of India's territory. The Indians couldn't come up, but we were wearing cannons above their heads. Anyone would be restless."
After hearing Luo Jia's words, everyone nodded.
Indeed, with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as a natural platform, China is like standing on a hillside, overlooking A San at the foot of the mountain. If you throw a stone at will, you can hit A San's head. This is the geographical feature of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
"Similarly, even if North America occupies a low orbit, we can suppress them in the middle or high orbit. As for the technology required for medium and high orbits, don't forget that we are the Star Technology Group and the Quantum Mountain, sooner or later, we will conquer it."
Over the years, Luo Jia's voice has always been so cheerful. Whenever he explains the company's technical route and assigns tasks to the tough guy group, the wisdom and decisiveness with a tiger in his chest and insight into the future have always been the driving force for everyone to move forward, as if as long as he follows Luo Jia, he will always reach the end in the end.
But it is no wonder that as the inheritor of the golden dome, Luo Jia does know how the technology tree should be climbed and that it is absolutely impossible to tell the earthlings.
"Teacher, what news did the general reveal to you? It is actually more important than the current Starlink plan?" Shen Lang couldn't help asking.
Luo Jia looked serious and said in a deep voice: "The general told me that the West is unwilling to fail in the semiconductor field, so he launched the 3D chip plan. Recently, good news came from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. They successfully used 90-nanometer silicon chip technology to achieve the same efficiency as three-nanometer chips."
What!?
Everyone was shocked that North America's 3D chip technology has made a breakthrough!?
Simply put, StarChen Technology's replacement of silicon wafers with graphene wafers is a breakthrough in materials science. It is like from the Bronze Age to the Black Iron Age, the materials have changed, so the bronze sword has become an iron sword, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
3D chip technology is a structural innovation, which is like transforming a bronze sword into a Thunderball Bronze Sword. Although there is no innovation in materials science, structural innovation can also bring about improvements in combat effectiveness.
Judging from the current news, this improvement is quite considerable. Using 90 nanometer technology to achieve the effect of three nanometers, the improvement is at least thirty times!
According to this calculation, Intel can easily use two-nanometer technology with the cooperation of TSMC to achieve performance at zero point and six nanometer level, thus posing a major threat to Xingchen Technology's zero point and one nanometer technology and directly shorten the generation difference between it and Xingchen Technology!
After all, the gap between two nanotechnology and zero-point zero-one nanotechnology is almost as large as the sky and the ground, and there is no way to compare it, while the gap between zero-point zero-one nanometer and zero-6 nanometer is much smaller.
Looking around, Luo Jia looked at everyone's frown and continued: "In addition, the general executor of the North American 3D chip plan, I believe that some of you must have heard of his name. He is the semiconductor genius Marx Shurakel from MIT!"
"So it's that freak, it's nothing strange." An Ran shook his head and said helplessly: "Shurakel is also from MIT, but I am a junior brother of Cao Yuan and me. His status in the semiconductor field is similar to that of Cao Yuan in the field of materials science. If 3D chips are his masterpiece, then he can also become a god in the semiconductor field with this technology. I just don't know when he went to Oak Ridge Laboratory."
An Ran is the second genius in the company after Luo Jia. He praised this guy named Shurakel so much, which is something that people should pay attention to.
Cao Yuan nodded and said, "Senior Brother An Ran is right. When we were in Massachusetts, we joked that there are Jack Ma and Ma Huateng in China, and there are two horses in North America, Marx Shurakel and Elon Musk. Except for not being rich, Shurakel's talent is definitely not inferior to Musk. He is really amazing. He was in charge of the Massachusetts Semiconductor Laboratory at the age of 21. You know, our school is the world's number one in science and engineering, and in terms of 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 brother in Massachusetts, everyone immediately took a breath.
As the saying goes, there are monsters every year, and this year there are a lot of them. Perhaps the world has its own balance. China has produced a large number of geniuses led by Luo Jia, and the Creator can't stand it anymore, so a seed called genius was planted on the Western land as the source of confrontation between the East and the West.
"This is a sign that competition has become fierce." Zhang Dongning said with his hands holding his head: "I don't understand chips, but there have been many major events in the field of chemistry in which I am in. Our high-performance solid tires and modified fully synthetic photoresist have been challenged by strong technology. Although it is not enough to subvert us, the future is still very serious. If you relax a little, you may lose your hard-won leading advantage. This is not a good phenomenon. It seems that many Western technologies have begun to emerge overnight."
Luo Jia smiled, "There is nothing abnormal. On the contrary, the technological outbreak in the West is exactly in line with my previous expectations. After all, as the West loses its leading advantage, they will be anxious and will increase their investment in scientific research."
"When did we begin to establish the dominance of 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 few years, we were all playing the role of a chaser, desperately reserving technology and R&D. It was not until these two years that we finally started to explode. If it were three years ago, we would never dare to propose the space plan, because the R&D and technical reserves were not in place, and even if it was proposed, it would be a fantasy."
"The West has started to catch up since we were ahead. According to the scientific research cycle, they should come up with results in the future, including 3D chips, Starlinks, and the modified photoresist that Zhang Dongning just mentioned. These are just the beginning."
"I'll just get my hands on it!" Wen Chengling muttered: "It's only half a year since the semiconductor dispute ended, and it's going to fight again. If this continues, I'll make all the human brains a dog brain sooner or later! Can't those guys from the Semiconductor Alliance calm down a little?"
"How to calm down?" Luo Jia asked, "Who dares to give up the hegemony of chips? Even if the automobile manufacturing industry with the highest output value is lost, the West must not lose the chip industry, because chips represent the future. According to the current technological development trend, in the future, every teacup, every light, and every person's head will have to be installed with a large number of chips. Do you dare to put chips in your head by Intel?"
Well…
Wen Chengling shook his head quickly, "I dare not, what if they control my thinking and turn me into a puppet?"
Luo Jia said, "The problem lies here, chip hegemony, life science hegemony, quantum hegemony, energy hegemony, space hegemony, etc., these are all things that you have to fight for with your life. There is no doubt that the West will definitely counterattack again and again until it completely loses its ability to struggle."
"An Ran just talked about the Starlink plan and asked me to say that not only can't stop them from doing the Starlink plan, but they must also encourage them! Try to make the larger the scale they do, the better!"
"When they spend all the trillions of dollars and create the Star Connect Network, our space elevator should have been successfully built. By then, we will use bargaining satellites, use stronger technology to arrange high-orbit satellite networks, and then destroy their star links! Let them experience what is complete despair!"
Everyone was excited after hearing Luo Jia's words. It was so dark that they asked them to spend trillions of dollars to destroy the Star Network in North America. If the White House knew Luo Jia's dark thoughts deep in his heart, they would be so angry that they vomited blood, right?
After all, in North America's view, these tens of billions of dollars are really worth it. In the future, it will dominate the network and communication hegemony and double the profit, so it will invest all its money.
But in fact, it still makes money?
Don't even think about the remaining pants!
