Chapter 105 What a future technology
"Mr. Mike, Wei Zhenhui said that they are powerless. It is impossible to improve the chip manufacturing process to 1 nanometer in the short term. This is extremely unrealistic."

Washington State.

In the highest office of the Hurt Building, Brady stood upright in front of his desk, reporting the latest situation to Mike.

Compared with the state of rage last time, Mike was extremely calm this time, sitting on the chair for a long time without speaking.

But judging from the expression on his face, I'm afraid his heart has already erupted like a volcano.

Anger is always on the verge of spouting.

It was only out of consideration for my own physical condition that I forcibly suppressed it.

The emergence of Godson Group.

Not only has the chip production process entered a new level, but it has also become their very strong competitor.

It made their chip technology, which they are proud of globally, fall behind in an instant.

Originally, Mike wanted to provide help to TSMC by putting pressure on it, so that it can overcome the 3nm chip production technology as soon as possible. At that time, with the foundry orders from companies such as Pingguo Qualcomm, it can still maintain its absolute position in the industry.

It can be said that this is the most suitable response.

And under his leadership, the program has been completed very well.

At least the people in charge of Pingguo Qualcomm and other companies have stated that they will not terminate the cooperation with TSM for the time being, let alone let Loongson Group produce OEMs.

However, the seemingly safe plan is actually only superficial self-deception.

No one expected that the Godson Group would make rapid progress. Less than a month later, the chip production process was upgraded from 3 nanometers to 1 nanometer.

is it possible?

At least he didn't think it was possible.

After all, it is much more difficult to upgrade from 3 nanometers to 1 nanometer than from 14 nanometers to 5 nanometers.

So in this case, there is only one guess left.

That is, when the Godson Group announced that it had developed a top-level lithography machine, it had already mastered the 1-nanometer chip production technology, but it deliberately concealed it and did not announce it to the public.

Thinking about the key to this, Mike only felt that he had been insulted and provoked by the Godson Group, and his whole face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

It wasn't until nearly half a minute passed in the deadly silence of the office that Mike finally said: "It's really trash. After operating in this industry for so many years, it's actually not as good as a new company's technical level."

After cursing a few words mercilessly, he raised his eyes to look at Brady and asked, "Are there any new trends in Pingguo and Qualcomm?"

"According to the latest news I got, they have already contacted the Godson Group."

Faced with Mike's inquiry, Brady naturally did not dare to delay, and quickly answered truthfully.

"As expected."

Mike nodded for the first time when he heard the sound, and didn't show too much surprise.

Obviously, he had already guessed the result.

For companies such as Pingguo Qualcomm, in order to ensure their own market competitiveness, it is certainly impossible to use chips with backward performance.

Doing so will only drag each other down, making the situation even more difficult.

But thinking of this kind of thing happening during my tenure, it would be too embarrassing if I didn't make some response.

So the moment this idea appeared, Mike moved his eyes to the computer screen on the desktop, and the displayed content was the collected future technology information.

"What a future technology. I really underestimated them. They have pushed us to this level in less than three years since their establishment."

Brady, who was standing at the desk at this time, heard Mike mentioning future technology, and quickly interjected: "Mr. Mike, there is nothing special about this company, and Xu Lei is the key person."

"This time the Godson Group was able to overcome the high-end chip production technology so quickly, and Xu Lei has made a great contribution."

"It's our carelessness that allowed him to grow, and it's hard to find a chance to make a move now."

Nowadays, the Godson Group already has an absolute right to speak in the semiconductor market relying on its leading technology. It is simply not feasible to restrict the products of future technology as before. to greater losses.

In addition, Future Technology has not established overseas branches, so there is no weakness that can be exploited.

But it is obviously impossible for Mike to give up just like this. After a little thought, he immediately suggested: "If we attack Xu Lei personally, or implement a network attack, what is the probability that it will be effective?"

Brady is very clear that if the anger in Mike's heart is not released, he will never let it go, and may even bring himself into bad luck.

So even though I knew in my heart that these methods would not work, I still responded patiently.

"Very difficult."

"We have received the latest news. Xu Lei has now become an academician and will be fully protected. He has also returned to Binjiang City, where the company is located."

"As for cyberattacks."

"We have organized forces to attack their data servers last year, but in the end it didn't have any effect."

There is another point that Brady did not say, that is, the real address of the person who participated in the attack on the future technology server was picked up by others and posted on the Internet for public execution. .

But what is surprising is that after listening to these contents, Mike's eyes became more determined.

It was as if he had already made a decision in his mind.

Before Brady could ask, the voice reached his ears.

"Contact me the security building and tell me that I want to borrow their people to make something small."

"Mr. Mike."

"Future Technology has a relatively powerful network security defense system. Even if we use the power of the security building, it may be difficult to achieve obvious results."

"If the real address is posted by the other party, it may cause a lot of public opinion in the world."

Brady was personally responsible for the last cyber attack, with the participation of cyber experts from Pingguogu Geweisoft and other companies, so he is very aware of the strong level of technological protection in the future. If the people in the security building also overturn, the impact will be brought But it's more than a little bit.

It was because of this consideration that he deliberately stopped it.

But Mike obviously didn't care about it, and repeated with a gloomy face: "Do as I said, since there is no way to get this future technology for the time being, let's start from an easy place."

"Someone has to pay for this."

Hearing Mike's words, Brady was just about to try to persuade him, but he soon realized something, swallowed what he wanted to say, nodded and said: "I understand, Mr. Mike , I'll do it right away."

The voice just fell.

He immediately turned around and left the office without stopping.

……

……

Because of the strong support from all aspects, the Godson Group has made very fast progress in the manufacture of top-level lithography machines and the construction of fabs.

It is planned to be officially launched in June.

The first batch is manufactured by Warwick's Tamron 980, and this also marks the coming of the first high-end chip that is fully localized.

After hearing the news, it naturally aroused heated discussion and support from a large number of netizens. After all, Huawei will launch a new mobile phone equipped with a 3-nanometer chip only after the chip is produced.

Let's talk about future technology.

Since Academician Xu Lei's identity was announced, the company's life and other aspects have not changed much from before, and all overseas forces have also behaved very calmly, which made him live the life of a real boss for a while.

In addition to the company hosting regular meetings every week and visiting the construction site of Longfor High-tech Park, most of the time is spent basically communicating with Xingtong, and through various methods to let them continue to optimize their learning so that they can play their best in more industry scenarios. Powerful effect.

But I have to say that Xu Lei was surprised that the overseas forces were so calm this time.

After all, he had already made all kinds of preparations.

of course.

Regardless of whether the opponent has new tricks in the future, Xu Lei will not be too worried, it is nothing more than soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth.

He believes that with the current strength of future technology, it is enough to withstand the pressure from all directions.

that's it.

Time soon enters June.

When Loongson Group began to mass-produce Tenglong 980 chips for Huawei, Pingguo Qualcomm and other chip design companies also released their own new 3-nanometer chips, and at the same time said that they would also be manufactured by Loongson Group.

The reason why they can design 3nm chips so quickly is not only that they have a large number of chip design talents, but also largely because of the use of Yinglong chip design software.

After all, since the release of Yinglong chip design software, the main focus is artificial intelligence plus cloud technology, which can greatly improve the efficiency of chip design.

However, this also makes the three major chip design software companies such as Xinsi Technology completely exist in name only, and the global market that they originally occupied more than 90.00% has dropped sharply to about [-]%. If they do not find another way out, I believe there will be only one to meet them ending.

There is almost the same experience in terms of raising cumulated electricity.

In a short period of time, several major customers were lost one after another, which basically reduced the number of orders in hand by more than half.

But they couldn't say anything about it.

I can only smash my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.

Although the high-level decision was finally made to find another way to develop carbon-based chips to compete with Godson Group, the industry is not optimistic about this due to various issues such as the cost and price of carbon-based chip manufacturing technology.

It is also worth mentioning that overseas chip companies such as Qualcomm have released their own new 3nm chips, and domestic mobile phone brands such as Xiaomi are also happy for this.

The main thing is that they have always purchased overseas chips. If the other party cannot catch up in chip performance as soon as possible, then they will only have Warwick's Tamron chip as an option.

The key point is not to mention whether the Tamron chip will be sold. Two different mobile phone brands equipped with the same chip will definitely be affected by Xiaomi in the end.
