Chapter 381 Warming up the new flagship in advance, Chen Xing deploys the supercomputer
As the end of summer vacation approaches, the sun is blazing and there is no intention of cooling down.
Since colleges and universities have started school, students from all over the country have also embarked on the road to study. Some of them may be leaving their hometowns for the first time and heading to unknown cities.
Among universities across the country, Harbin Institute of Technology is among the first to start school. Due to an emergency expansion of 30% of students this year, the campus is also extremely lively and there are many more volunteers.
"Campus card, campus card, are there any juniors and girls who want to apply for a 5G super large data campus card? Come to us to apply for a campus card. The monthly rent is 19 yuan and we will give you 20G data. After this There is no store like this in the village!”
“Senior, is the luggage too heavy to carry?”
“Have you ever been in love? Do you want to have a sweet love in college, do you want to have close contact with your senior sister? What do you want? AIDS awareness volunteers remind you that if you don't wear it for a while, you will get sick.
Promise me, sister, not to expose yourself to danger at any time, okay? In addition, with your ID card, you can get a free baby burping bag at the school’s care kiosk. Pursuing zero distance is not advisable, but distance creates beauty!”
Social recruitment, phone card, and broadband application booths were lined up at the campus entrance, and AIDS volunteers shuttled among the students to promote the importance of wearing baby burp bags.
Just when these brothers and sisters were working hard to promote and break their throats, Longxing Group became the winner again, because at the "Longxing Mobile Phone Free Collection" booth, the staff inside had already been surrounded three times. Three circles were filled with people.
Prospective college students take out their admission notices, register their reporting information, and then take their luggage to the dormitory. Cell phones will be distributed uniformly by the school through classes.
When Chen Xing said he would give away a mobile phone for free, it was not just talk.
Since Longxing was really given a mobile phone, photos of the Harbin Institute of Technology campus were posted on the Internet. At this time, the entry "Harbin Institute of Technology Opens" was at the top of the hot search list, and the exact news about the free mobile phone was also revealed. It attracted countless comments from netizens.
[Night and Dawn]: "No! Harbin Institute of Technology has only started on August 25th? My school only started on September 14th..."
[Love to eat big meat] : "It's so early for Harbin Institute of Technology to start school. We at Beihang University are on August 29th, so we're looking forward to it even more."
[ Move times to hit times]: "My family received the Longxing mobile phone. Let me declare in advance that I'm here." Harbin Institute of Technology is definitely not here for this mere mobile phone, but for building the motherland!”
[Dami and Xiaohua]: “Isn’t the C9 league good this year? I feel like I’m going to apply to the National Defense Academy! I’m in school, I’m 20 points lower than the previous year’s cutoff, and I missed out on Hanwu University...”
While netizens were talking about the school season, Longxing Group’s official account was also at its hottest, Come out and add fire, continue to stir-fry at high heat.
[Back to school season, ride the wind and waves! ]
Below the brief blog post, there is also a blessing video. The person in the video is no one else but Chen Xing personally leaving the country.
In the video, Chen Xing is sitting at his workstation and saying hello to all the prospective college students.
“The beginning of the semester has arrived. Perhaps it is the first time for many prospective college students to travel far away and they are not able to adapt to the new environment. But life is like this. Every chapter needs to be conquered and to write its own story. . ”
“Here, on behalf of Longxing Group, I would like to send my most sincere blessings to all prospective college students. I hope you will succeed in your studies and make use of them. We will also do our best to I'll protect you."
"At the end of the video, I would like to quote a few words that may be heard by everyone, that is, the construction of the motherland has not yet been successful, and comrades still need to work hard, let us rise for the Dragon Kingdom. And reading helps contribute to the cause of the motherland!”
Chen Xing’s tone in the video is sonorous and powerful. In less than five minutes, the number of likes exceeded 100,000, and the number increased rapidly as time went by.
Perhaps many people want to go to college just to get a bachelor's degree and then find a stable job to support their families.
But the original intention of more people to study is definitely not to work and make money.
The dream I talked about when I was a child to be a scientist, a policeman, a firefighter, or a teacher without being contaminated by vulgarity is the original pursuit deep in everyone's heart.
Chen Xing cannot deny that the employment pressure is extremely high now, academic qualifications have become the standard for measuring ability, and students are gradually beginning to have a tendency to apply for academic qualifications. He can only do his best to provide better exercise platform.
He has always believed that the Dragon Nation will one day take off its status as a developing country and become a truly developed country.
Chen Xing's personal blessing also caused quite a stir, and many netizens who were "involved in the gaming industry" began to fish in troubled waters.
[Purple Mood]: "We have received Mr. Chen's blessing. As a prospective college student, I would like to ask when will our new flagship phone be released? It will be in the second half of the year!"
[Mala Tang Tang Mala]: "Mr. Chen, don't believe the person above, click on her homepage, 36D is almost thrown into my mouth, and you are talking about a prospective college student?"
[I believe in light] : "The situation is getting smaller, right? What's wrong with college students being older? Then again, Mr. Chen, you have to get the timing right. As soon as September comes, it will be the second half of the year!"
In the face of the urging of netizens , Chen Xing also saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
He has currently released five mobile phones, namely Longxing X1, Longxing X2, Longxing A1, Cuican X1 and Geek X1.
In terms of price, these five mobile phones have covered the upper, middle and lower markets, and they are all unrivaled models in the market.
But the only shortcoming is that except for the brilliant X1, which uses a Carl Zeiss lens and has no shortcomings on the whole, other models have more or less corresponding flaws.
There are only a few companies in Longguo in the optical field, and they started relatively late. At the same time, the optimization of the whole machine needs to be improved, so Chen Xing does not insist on a "perfect mobile phone", but only requires that a certain point must be outstanding and can be used as a mobile phone. selling point.
Like the Longxing brand mobile phone, its price must be close to the people, and the main thing is that everyone can afford it.
Cuican is a business jet. It can be said to be the masterpiece of parts manufacturers from all over the world. The disadvantage is that it is easily cut off. To a certain extent, it is perfect.
Geeks mainly focus on gaming machines. Anyone who has been addicted to games knows that these users generally only focus on chip performance and have very little demand for photography and other functions.
It is not difficult to see that the three mobile phone brands released by Longxing Group have their own advantages and disadvantages. If we want to find a common shortcoming, it is that the shooting lenses are not localized and high-end. This is also the reason why Chen Star needs to fill in the final piece of the mobile phone puzzle.
But it is worth mentioning that the optical laboratory of Longxing Group has made substantial progress, such as "Stacked CMOS Sensor", "HDR High Dynamic Range Technology", "PDAF Phase Detection Autofocus" , "Silicon Through-hole Technology" have all applied for patents and are undergoing the approval process.
The "Tianxuan Operating System" and "Huaxia Chip" that belong to Longxing Group have also entered the final stage. The latter has passed EDA simulation verification and is entrusting Loongson International to try to produce photomasks. version.
Once the photomask is completed, it means that chips can be mass-produced. Chen Xing is still very much looking forward to this chip, which is not 3 nanometers, but has performance that catches up with 3 nanometers. He just doesn’t know what Pou Ke will do. Wouldn't expect that.
Seeing that netizens kept leaving messages and urging for the press conference in a hurry, Chen Xing did not hide it. He replied under the comment with the most likes: "If everything goes well, the new flagship will be released soon." I’ll see you all in late October or early November, so stay tuned.”
The moment the reply to the comment was posted, it was like a magnitude 10 earthquake in the gaming world. Lin Xiaolong, a millionaire blogger. He even left a message directly: "Is the new flagship really coming?"
In just one moment, there were thousands of netizens who responded to Chen Xing's comment.
[Exploding Cake]: "Oh, Mr. Chen personally confirmed the time. It seems that it is impossible to escape. Looking forward to the new flagship phone!"
[Sister with yellow hair]: "I hope it is a camera phone as the rumors say, and we cannot let Apple and Korean mobile phones dominate."
[Not Xiao Yueyue]: "Just support Mr. Chen It’s over, but I want to ask, Tesla has already started road testing, when will our electric car be rolled out?”
In the face of netizens’ constant questioning, Chen Xing also replied: “ It’s almost done, but the electronic control system still needs to be optimized.”
Such a candid face-to-face reply not only flattered the netizens on the other side, but also allowed many competitors to get inside information.
……
The Magic City of Dragon Kingdom.
Inside the Tesla Gigafactory.
Masik was sitting in the office, looking at the design drawings of the tram infrastructure in the Magic City area, and he looked a little sad.
Modu is indeed a city where every inch of land is precious. Just to build charging piles in the urban area, he spent tens of billions on it.
More than half of the 40 billion loan has been consumed. Although Tesla has successfully started running, further testing of vehicle data is needed before it is officially launched.
Because vehicles are no better than others, the test data submitted for review are extremely strict, which is also a protection for car owners.
“Dong Dong——”
The office door was suddenly knocked.
Masik's thoughts were interrupted and he looked towards the door of the office.
A moment later.
A blond, blue-eyed, choppy white female executive walked in and reported the situation:
"Excuse me, President, according to the latest news we have collected, Longxing Group, Rice Company, Kunpeng Company's pilot car may have reached the stage of electronic control system."
"Electronically controlled?"
Masik pondered.
Electric cars are divided into three parts: battery, motor, and electronic control system. Its operating principle is also very simple. You can buy toy cars everywhere in toy stores for about ten yuan each.
Alkaline batteries are replaced with lithium batteries, motors are replaced with high-speed motors, and a power control system is added. This is an electric vehicle.
"How did you know the news?"
Masik asked.
If Pilot Auto really comes to this point, then it is estimated that the two companies will have to have a collision in the second half of the year, or at the latest in December.
"Chen Xing replied to a netizen on Weibo." The female executive responded.
"Weibo?" Masik was stunned, and then smiled helplessly: "Did he reveal it to us specifically? Or is he really capable enough to do it without looking at the faces of his friends and businessmen?"
He couldn't figure it out.
This kind of internal secret is said on the Internet?
Revealed on purpose?
He is more inclined to the latter, because he has received definite information that the solid-state batteries of Longxing Group may be real.
If solid-state batteries are thrown away, other manufacturers will basically have nothing to play with.
Masik is also betting. He bets that Chen Xing does not have a solid-state battery, or that it is impossible to develop a truly pure solid-state battery within two years.
Now not only Masik has received the news, SAIC Group CEO Chen Hong, BYD CEO Wang Fu, and CEOs of other automakers in Longguo all know where Pilot Auto has gone.
Only the electronic control system is missing, which shows that the Longxing Group's car manufacturing progress is extremely close to completion, and comprehensive road testing may begin in less than two months.
There was Tesla in the past, and there was Vanguard in the future. Now there is a "tide of involution" in the automotive industry, and they can no longer just sit back and make money.
In the past, it was easier for domestic car manufacturers to make money than real estate.
For example, Brilliance Group only needs to sign a joint venture agreement with BMW Group to successfully enter the Longguo market.
It seems that 60 to 70% of the money earned will be given to the BMW Group, but in fact, the BMW Group will give 30 to 40% of the profits to the Brilliance Group. The reason is very simple. You can’t build a car without it, let alone talk about it. Profitable, Brilliance Longhua is an example.
Not only Brilliance Group, many joint venture car companies actually have average car manufacturing capabilities, but they are just "joint ventures" that allow them to make money while lying down.
Now, who least wants electric vehicles to ban fuel vehicles, it is the weak car companies, because this will affect their fundamental interests and they will not be able to make money as before.
But there is no way, the wheels of the times are rolling forward, even if they don't want to change, they can only adapt to the times.
……
After Chen Xing replied to several netizens’ comments, he did not plan to continue surfing. One to two hours of surfing the Internet every day was enough for him to understand the latest trends and prepare sufficient response strategies. . "Ding-ding-ding-ding-"
Suddenly.
The landline phone rang.
Because it was an internal call within the group, Chen Xing picked it up without hesitation and answered: "I'm Chen Xing, what's the matter?"
"President, you have a courier delivered to the guard post. , we have checked, it is a graphics card without a logo,” the security captain told the reason for the call.
Video card without LOGO.
Chen Xing was delighted, Godson International must be more efficient.
Some time ago, NVIDIA founder Huang Renxun visited overnight and left the data hard drive of NVIDIA graphics card, and said that he would move the company back to the island from the United States.
After he left, Chen Xing handed the data hard drive to Gao Yongming, the boss of Loongson International, and asked him to copy the NVIDIA graphics card as quickly as possible. Less than two months later, the first copy The NVIDIA graphics card came out.
"Please make a trip and send it to my office."
"Okay CEO."
(I want to climb up step by step)
As soon as the call was hung up, Chen Xing's cell phone placed on the table suddenly rang. It was Gao Yongming's call from Loongson International.
Chen Xing clicked to answer, and the other party's hearty voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Chen, have you received the graphics card?"
"Just arrived, Brother Gao is on the phone. It’s here, it seems you’ve been keeping an eye on the express orders,” Chen Xing joked.
"Idle time is also idle, how about it? Is the manufacturing speed here fast? I can OEM it for you in less than two months."
Gao Yongming chuckled road.
With data hard drives, there is no technical threshold, and it will definitely be faster to manufacture. This is equivalent to an open-book exam...
No!
It should be said that I am doing my winter vacation homework.
Anyone who has ever done a winter vacation homework book knows that there are standard answers on the last page. If you don’t copy even though you have the standard answers, then you really need to check your IQ.
Of course.
Chen Xing would not be so straightforward, but praised:
“The speed is very fast. I thought it would take at least half a year, but I didn’t expect it to be built in less than two months. It’s worthy of the praise. It is one of the top five chip foundries in the world, and there is really nothing to say about its background.”
“No matter what, our foundry still has to rely on your upstream companies for food,” Gao Yongming kept saying modestly.
Afterwards, he boasted to each other in business: "Brother Chen, you are really confusing to me. You suddenly laid out a graphics card, and the performance of the graphics card is not inferior to that of Nvidia and AMD. Who are you? How did you do it?”
Sometimes he really couldn’t figure out how Longxing Technology could complete the layout of chips, fast charging, and information and communication fields in less than two years, and let the company continue to do so. It has leapt into a multinational group and become the giant technology enterprise in Dragon Kingdom today.
"Well, let's keep it a secret for now." Chen Xing gave up.
Before NVIDIA returns to Treasure Island, the less people know about this matter, the better.
It's not that Chen Xingxin can't trust Gao Yongming, he is afraid of the technological methods of the United States. No one knows whether this call will be eavesdropped, so be careful.
"Everyone has their own secrets. If you don't want to say it, forget it. But you said you want to mass-produce graphics cards. What are you going to do?"
Gao Yongming continued to ask.
Chen Xing did not hide anything this time, because he has told the world at the "5G Network International Conference" that Longxing Group will embark on the artificial intelligence industry composed of "big data + big computing power + big algorithms" in the future. Intelligent field.
Big data is easy to understand, it is the derivative of high-speed network as matrix.
Large computing power is even more common. Anyone who has mined, that is, virtual currency, knows that if you want to mine, you need to provide a large amount of computing power, and the graphics card can provide sufficient computing power.
Why are graphics cards scarce in recent years?
Very simple.
It was used to mine and make money.
A mining machine room is actually "big computing power". Only by using big computing power to mine can you make a lot of money.
However, Chen Xing’s structure is not that small, and he will not set up a “large computing power” to mine Bitcoins.
The reason why he wants a large number of graphics cards is to build a supercomputer to provide a computing power basis for artificial intelligence.
When Gao Yongming asked, Chen Xing also expressed his thoughts.
After figuring out the ins and outs, Gao Yongming suddenly realized: "It turns out that the rumors are true, you are really engaged in artificial intelligence."
"Intelligent development."
Chen Xing smiled lightly.
The fact that he and Internet CEOs such as Xiao Ma, Jack Ma, and Zhou Hongwei founded Jiuzhou Intelligent Ai Company has long been hidden.
However, he did not intend to hide it, because these can be checked.
Nowadays, many car companies, including Masik, do not realize that artificial intelligence is not an ideology they understand, but can be directly applied to daily life.
Mobile phones have become more and more intelligent from mobile phones to current smartphones.
The future belongs to "smart", whether it is mobile phones, cars, computers, or even TV furniture, they all need to be intelligent.
The interconnection of everything brought by the 5G network actually means intelligence, but everyone only thinks of the first layer and thinks that it only needs to be connected. In fact, the second layer is that after being connected, Intelligent.
How to achieve intelligence?
Very simple.
Layout artificial intelligence.
After Gao Yongming understood Chen Xing’s thoughts, he explained his production plan: “Based on the current high-end graphics card production capacity, I estimate that we can provide up to 300 graphics cards per month. You can see enough of this value. If it’s not enough, I’ll think of ways to expand the lower production line.”
For Loongson International, it doesn’t want to go further. Now that the opportunity is in front of it, Gao Yongming definitely doesn’t want to let it go.
"Three hundred is too few, add a zero." Chen Xing responded lightly.
"Three thousand?"
"Yes, three thousand."
"Really need so many graphics cards?"
"The more, the merrier."
Silence After a long while, Gao Yongming nodded and responded: "I understand. Thanks to you during this period, I made a little money, which can be used to expand the production line of graphics cards."
Longxing Group opens up gross margin Xiong, Japan, South Korea, and the recent Southeast Asian markets have officially allowed domestic chips to leave the mainland of Longguo and move towards the world.
In addition to the vested interests of Longxing Group, the second and third beneficiaries are definitely Loongson International and other supply chain manufacturers.
This is like war. Those who get rich are often arms dealers, and those who get rich are the suppliers who provide raw materials for the arms dealers.
If there are no suppliers, it is impossible for arms dealers to say that hand-made firearms are produced.
After figuring out the demand of Longxing Group, Gao Yongming had no intention of chatting anymore. He hung up the phone and said, "Brother Chen, I will go and see how to expand production capacity first. When I have time, , let’s talk all night long.”
"Okay."
Chen Xing smiled.
The two hung up the phone. As soon as Chen Xing turned off the screen, the girl at the front desk knocked on the door and walked into the office with a courier package.
"President, your express delivery."
"Put it here."
Chen Xing nodded slightly.
After the girl at the front desk left the office and closed the door, he took out the graphics card inside and looked at it carefully.
Looking at the appearance, a very common dual air-cooled graphics card weighs about 500 grams to 700 grams, which is more than a pound.
After a simple inspection, Chen Xing also personally replaced the graphics card on his office computer. This was not a difficult task for him.
After the installation is completed, running the NVIDIA graphics card driver has no obstacles in the whole process. Using Master Lu to run scores and identify the model, it shows that it is an NVIDIA graphics card.
After confirming that there was no problem with the graphics card, Chen Xing picked up the mobile phone on the desktop, rummaged through his address book and murmured: "It's time to build a supercomputer belonging to the Longxing Group. Who will give this task to?"
"Su Chen?"
"Forget it, he is a layman who doesn't understand."
"Gao Zhengqian?"
"No, Huaxia Chip still needs him Check it yourself and don’t increase the workload.”
“Lin Tian?”
“The expansion of the second and third phases of the photolithography factory has been completed. He should have nothing to do recently. It’s just him. , just let him check it."
After Chen Xing confirmed the candidate, he called Lin Tian and asked him to come to Longxing Base to discuss important matters.
Lin Tian acted very quickly. After hanging up the phone, he went straight to the Longxing base.
Just in case, in addition to calling Lin Tian, Chen Xing also sent a message to Qin Long, thinking of asking the Long Academy of Sciences to borrow academicians or professors in related fields.
The supercomputer project is not only a major project in the United States, but also a project promoted by countries around the world.
Computing power is of great scientific research value in today's era.
After receiving the news, Qin Long did not rush to reply to Chen Xing. Instead, he called the old chief to report Chen Xing's next move.
After hearing the news, the old chief took a breath of dry smoke, exhaled the smoke heavily and said: "Building a supercomputer? It's interesting. After this kid has money, he can really do things."
