Chapter 365 A century-old change, this is the sign of ZTE
“That’s right.”
After witnessing the power of polymer semi-solid batteries and sulfide solid-state batteries, Qu Cheng also thought The purpose of his trip.
The eyes of Chen Xing, Qin Long, and Ling Chuan were all attracted, and they all looked at Qu Cheng.
"In the field of chip design, I still have a few questions to ask Chief Gao. I wonder, CEO, which floor is the chip laboratory now?"
Qin Long's eyes brightened slightly.
He also wanted to meet this man of god.
When talking with academicians such as Qu Cheng, Liu Dongsheng, Wang Hai, etc., they all mentioned Gao Zhengqian from time to time, and their evaluations were highly unified. This is a very scary thing.
When someone says you are awesome, it may just be hypocrisy for fun.
But if a group of people say you are awesome, there is no doubt that you are awesome.
Originally, Qin Long wanted to meet Gao Zhengqian when they talked about particle accelerators last time, but Chen Xing suddenly went to Xicheng, so they had to change their route and missed the chance to meet. Now that they had the opportunity, they naturally wanted to take a look.
Qu Cheng is also a member of Longxing Technology and is a specially appointed honorary professor. Chen Xing had no reason to refuse. He smiled calmly and said: "The chip laboratory is on the tenth floor. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Let's go together." Go up and take a look."
"Excuse me."
"Sorry."
Qin Long and Qu Cheng nodded politely.
Chen Xing did not move in a hurry, but looked at Lingchuan and said: "Both battery packs performed well, but the testing intensity can continue to increase. I need to know the limit data."
“Understood.”
Lingchuan nodded.
Now Chen Xing’s idea is very simple, that is, he wants to complete the construction of the automotive field as soon as possible and strive for the development of both mobile phones and cars.
Only with mobile phone-linked cars, can we further lay out "food, clothing, housing and transportation", realize the interconnection of all things with 5G high-speed network, and realize the business map planned in our hearts.
After admonishing Lingchuan, Chen Xing looked at Qin Long and Qu Cheng, made an invitation gesture and said: "This way, please."
The words fell.
He continued to lead the way.
The three of them left the battery energy floor and went straight to the chip design floor on the tenth floor.
“Ding——”
The elevator door opens.
Because he didn’t say hello in advance, no one greeted him in the elevator corridor. However, Chen Xing had already kept the layout of his experimental building in mind and continued to lead the way.
A moment later.
He stopped in front of the "Design Lab".
“I’ll make a call.”
Chen Xing did not bring an access card.
“Okay.”
Qin Long and Qu Cheng also expressed their understanding, because they made the request suddenly, and it was normal for them to not have time to prepare.
The call was connected, and Gao Zhengqian’s slightly magnetic and steady voice came from the mobile phone: "Hey, CEO, what do you want from me?"
"I was outside your laboratory and forgot to bring my clothes with me. The access control card is blocked.”
“Understood.”
The phone was hung up after a brief chat.
A moment later.
A middle-aged man with a height of about 1.78 meters, thick hair, wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, and an elegant temperament opened the door.
He is none other than Gao Zhengqian, the chip chief of Longxing Technology.
"President."
Gao Zhengqian said hello, then looked at Qu Cheng and said, "Mr. Qu, are you back?"
Suddenly, he noticed again that there was another person with an unattractive appearance. An old man, but since I have never been in contact with him, I don’t know his specific identity.
But what is certain is that it is not easy for anyone to integrate into this circle.
"Chief Gao is here fine."
Qu Cheng responded with a smile.
Chen Xing acted as a middleman and introduced Gao Zhengqian and Qin Long: "This is Qin Long, the dean of the Academy of Dragon Science."
"Dean Qin."
Gao Zhengqian was a little surprised and stretched out his hand.
"This is Gao Zhengqian, the chief engineer of our Longxing Technology chip team." Chen Xing continued to build a bridge for them.
"I've heard about Chief Gao for a long time, but I didn't expect him to be so young." Qin Long shook hands with him and looked up and down.
He thought that the Chief Gao mentioned by Qu Cheng and Liu Dongsheng should be an older scholar. Unexpectedly, judging from his appearance alone, he was probably less than forty years old, which was a bit incredible.
There are no shortcuts to academics and scientific research, they all require years of accumulation.
This is like talking about a famous doctor with superb medical skills and high moral integrity. If the age and appearance are not mentioned, then it will basically be assumed that he is an elderly doctor with a fairy-like appearance. This is the stereotype of the industry.
"You're welcome."
After the two briefly got to know each other, Gao Zhengqian looked at Chen Xing on one side and said slightly puzzled: "The president came here this time to inspect the research and development of Huaxia chips. Progress? ”
China Chip? ? ?
Qu Cheng and Qin Long felt a thump in their hearts.
With this name, is it possible that it is the 3-nanometer chip that Chen Xing has been mentioning?
It would be terrible if it were really a 3nm chip. You must know that the current mainstream chip nanometer process is 14nm, and the most advanced Apple A10 bionic chip is only 7nm. 3nm is completely an epoch-making product.
And according to the United Nations Chip Organization's prediction, the next generation process should be 5 nanometers, and it believes that this is the limit of semiconductors.
The basis for starting is very simple, that is, quantum tunneling may occur below 4 nanometers, causing chip circuits to run chaotically.
Therefore, major chip research organizations in the world believe that 5 nanometers is the limit of silicon wafer materials. If you want to go further, you must find new semiconductor materials to replace it.
So when Chen Xing called out the 3-nanometer chip, many people in the industry just took it as a joke, including Qu Cheng and Qin Long.
But now they discovered that Chen Xing was not joking, he seemed to be serious, which made Qu Cheng and Qin Long feel nervous.
"Yes."
Chen Xing did not deny it and responded: "Let's take a look at the development progress. In addition, Mr. Qu said there are several issues he wants to discuss with you."
"That's it." Gao Zhengqian nodded as if he had a sudden realization, gave up his position and said: "Then please come in."
"Excuse me."
"There are many Excuse me.”
Qu Cheng and Qin Long were still polite.
When a few people walked into the laboratory, they saw various computers and scientific researchers performing their respective duties.
“This way, please.”
Gao Zhengqian continued to lead the way.
The four people passed through several workstations and arrived at Gao Zhengqian's research and development station. The computers here were all in working condition, and the screen contents were all circuit design drawings.
As an industry insider, Qu Cheng looked at the 7nm logo of the EDA software parameters and asked with some confusion: "Is this designing a 7nm chip?"
"Not 3nm? "
Qin Long looked at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing was also stunned, looked at Gao Zhengqian in confusion and said: "A new chip project?"
It shouldn't be!
Isn’t it designing a 3nm chip?
What's going on?
Facing the question, Gao Zhengqian smiled calmly and responded: "This 7nm is not the other 7nm, but an attempt to double the chip performance using multiple stacking technologies. Strictly speaking, it is performance A 7-nanometer chip."
"? "?"
Qin Long and Qu Cheng were stunned.
Is 7nm almost as good as 3nm chip performance?
How is this possible!
This is simply unheard of, never heard of!
But suddenly, Qu Cheng thought of something and quickly asked: "Is this the way to break through the quantum tunneling effect and create higher-performance chips?"
Why is chip nanotechnology progressing slowly?
The reason comes from "quantum tunneling", which must be solved first before a new generation of nano-process chips can be created.
So what is quantum tunneling effect?
As we all know, the computing power of a chip is composed of countless 0s and 1s.
When the current passes through the transistor inside the chip, it will give feedback of 0 and 1, forming the basic computing power.
If you want strong computing power, the number of transistors inside the chip must be as large as possible.
In a limited area the size of a fingernail, the more transistors the better. This can only be done by making the gates between the transistors smaller, which is also the so-called nanoscale.
But here comes the problem.
The smaller the gate, the closer the transistors are, and the currents are attracted to each other, which may lead to current convergence.
What exactly does it mean?
This is like saying that when two currents pass through a circuit, they are supposed to generate two computing units: 0 and 1. However, because the gates of the transistors are too close to each other, the currents merge and merge, causing only the computing unit 0 and 1 to be triggered. If the transistor is not triggered by current, it will cause chaos in the chip's computing power.
If this problem is not solved, it will be impossible to improve the nanometer level of the chip.
The world's recognized smallest nanometer is 5 nanometers. If it goes any lower, serious quantum tunneling effects will occur.
......
Gao Zhengqian glanced at Qu Cheng and smiled lightly: "Yes, a pure 3-nanometer process chip cannot be designed at this stage, and higher performance is needed. EDA software cooperates.”
“That means we are actually designing a 7-nanometer process chip?” Chen Xing asked.
Out of trust in Gao Zhengqian, he did not interfere too much in chip research and development. He only knew that he wanted to get 3 nanometer chips.
But he never expected that this 3nm is not the other 3nm. It has the performance of 3nm, but it is a 7nm process.
“Correct.”
Gao Zhengqian nodded and corrected: “Although it is 7 nanometers, the chip performance can reach 3 nanometers.”
"I understand."
Chen Xing nodded slightly.
No matter how many nanometers the chip is, he only needs the final performance data.
When he made the bet with Pou Ke, he agreed to double the number of calculations. As long as he could do it, he would still be the winner.
“Incredible.”
Qin Long sighed again.
Jiang Ce’s network security technology, Lingchuan’s solid-state batteries, and now Gao Zhengqian’s chip multi-stacking technology. What kind of company is Longxing Technology?
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?
No!
This is simply a gathering of immortals!
In just half a day, his horizons were broadened several times. It turns out that there are still so many "sweeping monks" in private enterprises. No wonder Longxing Technology can advance by leaps and bounds and become the hottest technology company in Long Country. Qin Long is an atheist and does not believe in so-called luck.
But now the rapid progress of Longguo's enterprises and the endless emergence of top talents reminded him of what Fang Jingsheng, an academician of philosophy, said about the century-old changes.
What is a century-old change?
According to the research of historians and philosophers, they discovered a pattern.
That is the rise and fall of dynasties. The node that determines whether a country turns from prosperity to decline, or from decline to prosperity is a cycle of one hundred years, which is a bit similar to crossing a tribulation.
Whether it is the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty, over a hundred years, corresponding events will occur that affect the trend of the dynasty.
For example, the hundredth year of the Han Dynasty was the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was in power.
His achievements naturally need no introduction. He was able to open up and expand the territory through military force, maintain the stability of the frontiers, had a civil service system, and broke the hereditary system and the concept of family status. Although he forced the prince to death in his later years and left a stain on his life, But it is undeniable that the Han Dynasty realized the word "strong Han" in the hands of Liu Che.
But! It is also undeniable that as the decision-maker of the "Hundred Years of Change", Liu Che's incompetence in his later period also caused the Han Dynasty to begin to turn from prosperity to decline.
It can be seen from the reign of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Liu Fuling, who succeeded the throne at the age of eight, that he not only had to be in a passive position by the empress, empress dowager and others, but also allowed eunuchs to interfere in politics, which led to serious internal strife.
Although the situation improved a lot in the mid-term, he made another wrong decision in the later period, which was to let Liu Ying succeed him despite the dissuasion of hundreds of officials, which led to the accelerated decline of the Han Dynasty's national power.
Another example is the century-old changes in the Ming Dynasty. In the past, there was Zhu Qizhen, the "God of War", and in the later period, there was Zhu Jianshen, the "Emperor Oedipus". As a result, the national power of the Ming Dynasty was declining day by day, and it no longer had the same atmosphere as before.
Through the study of historical laws, historians and philosophers have determined the period of a dynasty within a hundred years. If it is a hundred years of resurgence, it will skyrocket. For example, the restoration of Li Tang directly opened up the prosperous times.
But if there is a decline in a hundred years, then everything will be difficult to predict.
Now there are less than 35 years left before the century-old changes in Longguo. It is a period that requires efforts. The emergence of outstanding companies such as Longxing Technology, Kunpeng Company, and Frontier Technology, as well as top domestic talents like They sprouted up one after another like bamboo shoots, and Qin Long gradually believed that a century-old major change really existed. This was the law of the country's destiny, and it was also a sign of the Dragon Kingdom's prosperity!
……
Evening.
When the sunset gradually sets in the west, the sky seems to be dyed with a soft golden red. The sun sinks slowly, and the edges gradually become blurred, as if lightly covered by a layer of tulle, and the surrounding clouds It was also dyed in magnificent colors.
At the entrance of Longxing Technology Headquarters Base, Chen Xing looked at Qin Long and Qu Cheng and asked, "Are you really not going to stay for a meal?"
"No need."
Qu Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: "We have gained a lot when we come back to Shen City this time, and we have to catch a plane back to the imperial capital."
"That's right." Qin Long nodded and said with the same smile: "Don't worry, little friend Chen, we will definitely do what we promised you, and I hope everyone can cooperate happily."
"That's natural."
Chen Xing responded quickly.
After the three of them exchanged a few more polite words, Qin Long glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's sit down and chat when we have time later."
"When we have time later, See you again.”
Qu Cheng echoed.
Seeing that the two of them insisted on leaving, Chen Xing no longer tried to persuade them to stay, and said regretfully: "In this case, I can't persuade them to stay anymore. We can only get together next time. Please pay attention to your safety on the road. Send me a message to say you're safe when you get to the Imperial Capital."
"Haha, okay."
"Okay."
Qin Long and Qucheng responded one after another.
Then they didn’t stay too long, got on the vehicle arranged by Shencheng Dragon Science Institute, and headed straight to Shencheng International Airport.
Chen Xing watched the vehicle leave until the rear taillights were no longer visible.
Qu Cheng, who was in the car, was puzzled. He looked at Qin Long and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you say you would come to Shencheng for two days?"
Qin Long asked him to At that time, I said that I would spend two days in Shenzhen.
What's going on now?
Leaving in half a day?
He hasn't had time to have a good chat with Gao Zhengqian and Chen Xing about their family affairs and enhance their friendship with each other.
Qin Long looked forward and said seriously: "Originally, I planned to give myself a holiday to relax my mood, but the people I met today really shocked me."
"Jiang Ce? Lingchuan? Or Gao Zhengqian?"
Qu Cheng asked.
"Both." Qin Long shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that the small Longxing Technology has so many top talents, especially Gao Zhengqian's stacking technology, which is so profound and unusual that I actually I didn’t even understand.”
“Ahem.”
Qu Cheng coughed twice and said with some embarrassment: “Actually, I don’t know much about it, so I wanted to stay and discuss it with him.”
Throughout the afternoon, they consulted Gao Zhengqian on issues in the chip field, and the questions that troubled Qu Cheng were all solved as if it were a matter of course, which made him secretly happy.
But as for stacking technology, he really got a rough idea.
Like 3DIC technology, it can increase the computing density of the chip and reduce the chip size, and reduce the cost of different chip areas and interconnections.
There are also vertical distance stacking, large-scale I/O context integrated circuits and vertical hole cross-linking technology, etc. He doesn't know how to design them, it is completely beyond his imagination.
What is this like?
Qu Cheng practices martial arts, and Gao Zhengqian cultivates immortality, which is a completely new branch field.
But what is certain is that this stacking technology can allow 7nm process chips to achieve the performance of 3nm chips.
"So this is the reason why we are leaving in a hurry?" Qu Cheng asked again, looking at Qin Long's side face full of confusion.
“Have you ever heard of the great changes in a century?”
Qin Long turned his head and looked at each other.
Qu Cheng looked at the excited and expectant eyes, shook his head and said: "It's very familiar, but I have no impression."
"The situation has changed in a century, and now we are far away from the dragon There are only less than thirty-five years left in the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. I see a renaissance."
After Qin Long finished speaking, Qu Cheng couldn't help but complain: "Have you changed your career to study philosophy?"
"That's not right."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to feel the temperature of Qin Long's forehead and said: "I remember you are not superstitious, and you criticized other philosophers for being crazy, scolding this Teacher, why do you feel different today?”
Qin Long: "It's different."
"What's different?"
Qu Cheng continued to ask.
Qin Long was speechless for a moment and said perfunctorily: "It's just different anyway. Don't ask so many questions. Anyway, it's different this time."
"I understand." Qu Cheng's lips curled up. With a smile, he joked: "Schrödinger's materialist, Dean Qin has a bit of a double standard."
"You know nothing." Qin Long glanced at him and said solemnly: "This is what happened. According to historians, now that ZTE is on the rise, I will definitely help."
"So you are in a hurry to go back?"
Qu Cheng understood a little bit.
Qin Long nodded, looked forward and said: "It's not like you don't know the temperament of that group of people. They are used to it, and this also involves the review of new license plates. We must "Hurry up."
"Don't say it, it does make sense." Qu Cheng nodded slightly.
He also talked to Chen Xing just now. Around the end of September or early October, Longxing Technology Company will hold a new product launch conference. If the new energy license has not been approved by then, electric vehicles will only be treated the same as fuel vehicles. You need to go to the lottery to get the cards.
“You can find another time to reminisce about the past. Now I find that there are too many tasks pressing on me, which must be solved as soon as possible, especially the matter of giving the green light to Longxing Technology Company. I have to talk to the old leader in person. "Qin Long continued.
“I understand.”
Qu Cheng nodded again.
After Qin Long’s narration, he also discovered that the Dragon Kingdom was in a period of change that lasted a century.
Whether it is scientific and technological potential, industrial development, or military strength, international trade and currency status, there is a tendency to surpass the United States in an all-round way. If it can truly overtake the United States in these fields, then this century-old change may make it possible for the United States to overtake it. The Dragon Kingdom suddenly became the largest country in the world!
……
And on the other side.
Moscow International Airport with furry bears.
Ten An-124 military strategic transport aircraft are ready for departure, and the cabin is filled with semiconductor silicon wafer and photoresist production equipment.
"Report to the commander, loading is complete."
The soldiers stepped forward quickly.
The polite officer, covered with military medals, took a deep breath, waved his hand and said: "Follow the route to the deep city, Ula!"
"Ula!"
"Ula! !”
With the shouts of “Ula”, ten large transport planes of 100 tons soared into the sky.
After they entered the Dragon Kingdom, two Dragon-20 fighter jets from the northern theater also immediately took off to perform escort missions.
Now that the "International Conference on 5G Networks" has come to an end, Longguo Technology only needs equipment to enter the international stage, and no one wants to fall behind at a critical moment.
At the same time.
Washington, USA.
Renato Marotta of Parliament Hill has received news that Germany, the Bear and the Dragon Kingdom are about to hold military exercises.
Needless to say, the first two are T0 players in the S2 season.
Needless to say, the Dragon Kingdom is currently the only superpower that dares to compete with the United States in various fields.
Three joint military exercises?
What does it mean?
In addition to the news about the joint military exercise, he also got the secret information about the equipment supply contract signed between Germany and Longxing Technology Company, which made Renato Marotta even more uneasy.
If the three companies join forces to form an alliance, whether it is financial trade or force deterrence, the impact on the United States will undoubtedly be huge.
The current Renato Marotta can be described as exhausted.
The Federal Reserve is also having a hard time now. Although frequent interest rate hikes can harvest other small countries, their goal has never been to gain money from small countries. If they cannot harvest large countries, they will be fully counterattacked.
The current United States, whether it is the Angsa military-industrial complex, the Jewish consortium, the National Congress or the Chamber of Commerce, has tacitly put down their fights because they have discovered that the great Eastern countries are reviving at an incredible speed. This is What they don’t want to see is also what they fear the most.
The reason is simple.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
The United States has become accustomed to unlimited printing of money, harvesting the wealth of the world, and achieving rapid economic growth in the country.
Once the U.S. dollar loses its hegemonic status, what awaits them is "frugality." This is something that all forces in the United States do not want to see, so they can be twisted into a hemp rope.
However, what Renato Marotta, Davidic Rothschild, and Lyle Valles didn’t know was that Huang Renxun, CEO of Nvidia, had just returned to the island in the name of visiting relatives. Instead of visiting relatives, I called Chen Xing at the headquarters of Longxing Technology Company.
“Beep——”
Two busy signals and the call was connected.
“Mr. Huang?”
Chen Xing’s voice was a little surprised.
Huang Renxun also expected it and went straight to the topic: "I have changed my mind. Maybe we can find time to talk about cooperation again."
"Where are you now?"
"Treasure Island."
"What about tomorrow?"
"How about the early hours of tomorrow? Because there are too many things involved. If it’s too much, we can’t let others find out. We need to discuss it in secret.”
Huang Renxun expressed his concerns.
Chen Xing thought for a while, nodded and replied: "Yes, you can decide the specific time."
