When exactly did the development of semiconductors in human civilization take off?

Was it twenty years ago, when the internet began to become widespread?

Actually not.

When the internet began to become widespread twenty years ago, the technology and resources it consumed were actually the scientific and technological knowledge and ideas accumulated before and after World War II. It was only natural that the application lagged behind the theory, because there is still a long way to go between theoretical deduction and practical implementation.

Therefore, after the advent of the Internet, mobile phones became the new darling of the trend in the 1990s.

At the end of the last century, pagers and other miniature mobile phones became essential items for fashionistas and big bosses.

Back then, if someone was still using a mobile phone, they were considered outdated and would be looked down upon when doing business.

After the turn of the millennium, color screen mobile phones gradually became popular, and ringback tones and mobile games made mobile phones no longer the exclusive domain of business people.

Before 2007, mobile phones were already a new form of entertainment.

Mobile voting and calling for support have become popular, similar to newspaper subscription services from decades ago. People are spending more and more time looking down at their phones. At the same time, MP3 and MP4 players are becoming increasingly popular in the consumer market.

Tape drives are a thing of the past.

By 2007, Apple, a maverick and monster in the tech world, emerged, combining MP3, MP4, and communication functions into its mobile phones. Within a few years, Motorola, Nokia, and Blackberry gradually entered the end of their history.

Under Apple's dominance, Nokia, once invincible and aspiring to become a company of the century, was particularly puzzled. Their executives even publicly stated, "We did nothing wrong, but we don't know why we lost."

Nokia really didn't do anything wrong.

It's just that the times no longer need them.

Just like how photography abandoned film.

So later, Alibaba's cloud manager said, "When the times abandon you, they won't even say goodbye."

This phrase has become the motto of almost all technology startups in the internet technology startup circle that pursues the forefront of technology and leads technological change. In an era of hot money and golden years, almost all companies related to the Internet are frantically exploring the current world's technological frontiers and then investing financial, human and material resources.

Everyone wants to become the next legend in Hangzhou, and everyone has the ambition to build a company with a market value of hundreds of billions.

During that period, Hangzhou's entertainment industry was very developed.

During that period, everyone at Dongda University was obsessed with becoming a boss, even if it meant sleeping on the floor.

At Dongda University, those born in the 1960s and 1970s can rise to prominence in business by riding the wave of the times, while those born in the 1980s can become wealthy through emerging trendy industries.

As for those born in the 90s...

If you don't have a winning hand, it's hard to get ahead.

However, this timing is ideal for the development of high-end technology at the University of Tokyo.

The semiconductor development of the past two decades has made Japan and Singapore, which are located near Tokyo University, extremely wealthy. With the basic construction of global data channels completed, the future technology market is the real blue ocean for true technology giants.

Although Dongda University missed twenty years of semiconductor development opportunities due to that loyal and heroic act, thanks to Rong Nianqing's family's strength and Lü Yao's insight and grasp of the "future," Dongda University's shortcomings in semiconductor technology have been made up for by a generation of geniuses through leapfrog development.

With the support of core technologies, rebuilding one's own software ecosystem will be much easier.

Under Lü Yao's analysis, everyone on the Dingbo platform listened intently, and at the same time, their minds gradually unfolded a picture following Lü Yao's analysis.

A brighter future is unfolding before them.

Old Li's chest heaved with excitement. Through Lü Yao's description, the belief that Old Li was initially unsure of gradually became firm and resolute. He looked at Lü Yao and said firmly, "If what you say is true, even if there is only a 50% chance of success, I will support you wholeheartedly, even if it means burning these old bones for firewood!"

As he spoke, Old Li sighed, "It's a pity that my reputation has become less valuable over the years, otherwise I could have done my part financially."

At the end of the last century, when China had the best chance of developing semiconductor technology, Mr. Li swallowed his pride and went to the science and technology department to secure 2000 million yuan in investment.

That's twenty million at the end of the last century!

In an era when the average wage was only a few hundred yuan, 20 million was equivalent to 20 billion yuan today.

It's hard to imagine that a scholar could have such a lot of influence.

However, because Mr. Li has overdrawn too much of his credit, and given his advanced age, although he still has a place in various meetings and development directions, it is unlikely that he will invest real money.

Looking at the fervent eyes of Old Li, Lü Yao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This Old Li was truly a man who had endured hardship for ten years but whose passion remained undiminished. Ever since he was kicked out of the Zhonglie family twenty years ago, he had been seeking a way out for the domestic semiconductor industry. Over the past twenty years, he had stumbled and fallen, suffering countless losses.

But whenever he sees hope, he rushes forward without hesitation.

If we can raise funds, then we should; if we can't, then we should gather scientific research resources.

When scientific research began to neglect him, he devoted himself to teaching and nurturing talents for the path of domestic production. The PhDs who graduated from Professor Li's tutelage were all capable of standing on their own.

It's no longer appropriate to compare someone like Mr. Li to Don Quixote.

It's as if he's dedicating his entire life to following his own path, doing his own thing regardless of whether things are going well or not.

Lu Yao has never met many people as pure as this.

So Lü Yao quickly said, "Professor Li, as you said, the last thing we lack in this matter is money. We invited you here because we hope you can take charge of our research. I know you have cultivated a lot of talents over the years. With you in charge, it will be relatively easier for us to recruit and attract talents."

Old Li laughed heartily and said, "I guess that's about all the usefulness I can offer."

Rong Nianqing laughed and said, "How can you say it has such a small effect? ​​Its effect is huge! They say it's easy to find a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a general. You are our best general."

The constant praise from Lü Yao and Rong Nianqing made Old Li's face flush slightly.

Afterwards, Lü Yao made some simple arrangements for the next stage of development. He did not specify the time or the specific tasks involved, but rather analyzed the possible changes in the international situation and their potential impact on the Dongda University science and technology community through "guessing."

As he continued, Lü Yao confidently stated, "If nothing unexpected happens, the dual-track strategy of self-developed instruction set + open-source architecture will have the ability to develop independently in ten years. The subsequent ecosystem construction is estimated to require another 5-8 years of accumulation, but with the dual support of technology-driven and scenario innovation, our domestic architecture is definitely expected to achieve a triangular closed loop of technology-ecosystem-market around 2032."

Originally, Lü Yao had already explained the development trends and steps to everyone present quite clearly, but when Lü Yao mentioned the specific time, even Wang Shan and his senior apprentice, who were the most knowledgeable about this technology, frowned and looked at Lü Yao.

Have the specific times been released?

And he said it with such certainty!
Where did he get such unwavering confidence? Even Rong Nianqing and her uncle Rong Zhikang looked at Lü Yao with puzzlement at this unwavering confidence.

2032 is too far away; who can imagine what will happen in sixteen years?
Standing in 2016, looking back at the scene in 2000, it all seems like a dream. It was as if the University of Tokyo had boarded a high-speed train heading towards the future. At extremely high speed, the scenery outside the train window was stretched into blurry patches of color, colorful and uncertain, dazzling and surreal.

Therefore, many students at Dongda University who have made great strides to where they are today always have a sense of inexplicable anxiety in their hearts.

This is a fear of uncertainty about the future, a fear of being left behind by the times.

So, why is this guy so sure?

Rong Nianqing, Wang Shan, and the others really wanted to ask what Lu Yao's basis for being so certain was, but because the atmosphere at the scene was so harmonious and pleasant, no one dared to ask anything that might spoil the mood.

Finally, Old Li leaned forward and asked curiously, "Little Lü, why are you so sure? 2032... that's such a distant year." Old Li laughed heartily, but there was a hint of regret in Lü Yao's laughter: "I don't even know if I'll live to see that day."

Lu Yao pursed his lips and said, "You can do it, you definitely can."

Li Lao took Lü Yao's words as auspicious, so he laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I want to hear your thoughts. To be honest, chatting with you has made my thoughts clearer, and my mind seems to work faster."

Upon hearing what Elder Li said, Wang Shan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Because he was all too familiar with the feeling that Old Li was describing.

It's a terrible feeling when someone is like a headless fly, facing the vast and chaotic world without knowing where to go. They may have talent, skills, and even ideas, but those ideas are trapped by reality and cannot be fully tested and verified.

Even if there are plenty of resources available, their time is ultimately limited.

Therefore, they must make trade-offs when conducting research.

What does this feeling resemble? It's like someone groping aimlessly in a swimming pool filled with lottery numbers, hoping to find the one and only winning number.

In the process of constantly trying to find the winning numbers, you are also very likely to pick expired winning numbers, or fake winning numbers... When you finally go to claim your prize after all the hard work, the god of fate will show a gentle yet ruthless smile and tell you: "Child, you picked the wrong numbers."

But that feeling disappeared after I met Lü Yao.

Although Lü Yao didn't understand technology, he seemed to have an intuition beyond ordinary people. Whether something was right or wrong, he didn't need to verify or weigh the pros and cons; he would tell you definitively whether it was right or wrong.

He's like the earthly trumpet of the god of fate, able to help you verify things in advance.

The reason Lü Yao was able to achieve this was not because he was particularly brilliant, but simply because he was so accustomed to life ten years later.

As someone once said when appraising antiques, "I don't know anything about identification methods; those few items just look a little different from the ones I have at home."

Lü Yao really doesn't understand technical things very well. Even many of the technical terms and jargon he used in his chat today were things he learned on the spot during his online discussions with Wang Shan and the others.

However, with the rapid development of information technology in the future, in order to win over consumers' minds, relevant companies will release this information in a massive amount of marketing.

Therefore, whether something is done correctly or not, Lü Yao doesn't need to look at the process; he can tell just by looking at the result and the effect.

As for Elder Li's curiosity, Lü Yao laughed and made up a story: "Actually, these are all just my guesses based on the current laws of technological development. They're about right, but I can't guarantee they're accurate. However, I believe we can definitely achieve our goal. It's just a matter of time."

Hearing what Lü Yao said, everyone smiled.

Rong Nianqing poured a cup of warmed yellow wine from the silver pot to everyone present, then stood up and said, "Then let's wish each other success soon!"

Old Li was the first to respond: "Great! Then I wish us success sooner or later! I don't expect to see the day we achieve great success, but I would be content if I could just see the beginnings of our success."

Wang Shan stood up and said, "I also wish you, Elder Li, a long and healthy life!"

In an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere, everyone drank their glasses to the brim.

After finishing their discussion, Lü Yao and the others left Wangbo Villa. Since it was still early and Old Li still had some energy, he suggested that they visit Lü Yao's company.

In fact, what Mr. Li really wanted to visit was the Luoma Lake AI Data Center, which is managed by Wang Shan. He wanted to see if that AI Data Center was really as magical as Lü Yao said, and could become a game-changer for the domestic software ecosystem.

But Luoma Lake is too far from Shangnan, so we definitely can't get there today.

At his age, Mr. Li certainly couldn't handle it anymore, so he wanted to visit Lü Yao's company.

Even if Lü Yao's words were incredibly eloquent, many things still need to be seen to be true. No matter how kind and enthusiastic Old Li is, he can't be a fool who only does the hard work.

He also has his own set of evaluation methods.

Although Lü Yao didn't understand technology, Li Lao could still glean some insights from the company Lü Yao managed.

After Lü Yao and his group arrived at Lü Yao's game company, Lü Yao and Rong Nianqing stayed with Old Li and inspected the company together.

Rong Zhikang and the others went to rest in the reception room.

Lu Yao's Guang'an Network Games Company is not so rigid and dogmatic in its management. The company has good relaxation facilities and a good working environment, and the employees are very relaxed and comfortable at the company. This alone has already surpassed many companies.

This relaxed state is something that many people, whether from Dahai City or not, cannot learn.

Mr. Li strolled around Lu Yao's company with a smile on his face, seemingly just browsing, but he was keeping a close eye on all the activities of Guang'an Network Company.

Old Li observed everything from the company's environment, the employees' morale, their work attitude, and even how people in the company greeted Lü Yao.

The more I look.

The more satisfied Mr. Li became.

Although he was quite old, Mr. Li felt a vibrant, youthful energy at Lüyao Guang'an Online Games Company, and he could also sense that the employees of Lüyao Company had very active minds.

This shows that Lü Yao is very good at project management.

This vibrant state of mind and active thinking cannot emerge without a solid material foundation and a supportive cultural environment.

This kind of vitality is an atmosphere that Mr. Li hasn't felt in a long time.

As he gets older, Mr. Li doesn't spend as much time on the front lines as before. More often, he's like a mascot, invited to various meetings and events. He doesn't feel that kind of atmosphere in those research institutions and enterprises within the system.

Therefore, after comparing the two, Old Li became increasingly certain about the "future" of Lü Yao's side.

They have funding, technology, ideas, and even great perseverance...

After making his way around, Old Li looked at Lü Yao with eyes full of satisfaction.

It's a pity that Lü Yao doesn't have much talent in scientific research; otherwise, he would be perfect as a close disciple.

Just as Lü Yao and his team finished their inspection and were preparing to leave, Lin Yongzhen, who worked at the company as Lü Yao's "secretary," suddenly appeared in Lü Yao's field of vision. Lin Yongzhen stood quietly in a corner and didn't say anything, but Lü Yao immediately knew that Lin Yongzhen had come for something.

So Lü Yao apologized and said, "I have something to take care of first."

Old Li chuckled and said, "Alright, I've taken up too much of your time. You should go and get back to work."

Rong Nianqing also said, "I'll take care of Elder Li, don't worry."

Lü Yao nodded and immediately walked towards Lin Yongzhen.

Unless something particularly important happens, Lin Yongzhen won't appear when Lü Yao is busy. Even during Lü Yao's regular work, Lin Yongzhen will only contact Lü Yao by phone or email; let alone now when she is clearly accompanying an important person on a company inspection.

as predicted.

When Lü Yao arrived near Lin Yongzhen, Lin Yongzhen said, "Mr. Liu is at the company and hopes to meet with you to discuss things in detail."

Lü Yao frowned.

Mr. Liu's timing is really perfect; he just happened to come at this time.

After thinking for a moment, Lü Yao said, "Just say I'm busy and I'll visit you later when I have time."

It wasn't that Lü Yao was putting on airs, but rather that with Old Li here, it was really inappropriate for him to meet with this Mr. Liu.

Lin Yongzhen paused for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this isn't a good idea. I suggest you go and talk to him in person. It won't take long."

Lu Yao glanced back at Old Li, then lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Lin Yongzhen was indeed right. He smiled at Lin Yongzhen and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Thank you. You accompany Old Li around and introduce the company's situation. I'm going to see Mr. Liu."

Lin Yongzhen smiled and said, "Okay."

Lü Yao went to the company's reception area.

As a rising star in Shangnan, Lü Yao's company has grown larger and larger, and the reception area has naturally become larger as well. It has been divided into several different areas. With careful design, even if someone leads you into the reception room at the same time, you may not necessarily bump into each other.

Lin Yongzhen led Mr. Liu into a relatively secluded reception room.

Upon entering, Lü Yao saw Mr. Liu, who had come alone.

As soon as Mr. Liu saw Lü Yao, he immediately stood up, went over and extended his hand, saying, "Mr. Lü, we meet again. I thought you would ignore me a few times. I was prepared to visit you three times."

Lu Yao grasped Mr. Liu's hand and smiled, "I was originally entertaining a very important guest and couldn't leave, but since you, Mr. Liu, are here, I definitely had to come and see you."

Mr. Liu immediately raised his eyebrows: "I am truly flattered. Let's set a time and place, and we'll definitely sit down and have a good chat."

Lü Yao laughed and said, "How could I let you spend money here? I'll arrange a place after I clear my schedule."

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Then why not do it today, Mr. Lü? How about tonight when you're done with your work?"

Lu Yao glanced at his wrist, checked the time, and said apologetically again, "Tonight might not be possible. I'll set a time. I'm really sorry, Mr. Liu, your arrival was too sudden. My schedule is indeed a bit tight."

Mr. Liu was somewhat embarrassed: "I was too abrupt, too presumptuous."

While laughing, Lü Yao said, "That's not true." He then made a gesture to invite President Liu to leave.

Just after the two left the reception room, Mr. Li, who had finished inspecting Lu Yao's company, was also about to go downstairs to rest when he bumped into Mr. Liu, who was also about to go downstairs.

Dry!
Lu Yao looked at Lin Yongzhen and Rong Nianqing behind Li Lao. Lin Yongzhen was somewhat surprised, as was Rong Nianqing.

The unpleasantness between Mr. Li and Mr. Liu's family back then was so great that it made the news and caused a huge uproar in their circle. In that incident, Mr. Li even took the initiative to apologize and shoulder a great deal of responsibility.

it's good now.

The grudges from back then have collided at this moment.

In this awkward and deathly silence, Lü Yao racked his brains, trying to ease the tension, but before he could speak, Old Li calmly looked at Mr. Liu and said, "You... are the child of Zhonglie, aren't you?"

Mr. Liu never expected to run into Mr. Li here!

So much so that he was more astonished than anyone else present. The things his father had done back then were so terrible that even his son's sudden encounter with them made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to handle it.

After Mr. Li broke the silence, Mr. Liu took a deep breath and said with exceptional humility, "Hello, Mr. Li. Yes, my father is... Liu Zhonglie."

Old Li showed no particular emotion, but after looking at Mr. Liu for a few moments, he said meaningfully, "You and your father are quite alike."

Mr. Liu's lips turned white instantly!

If someone else had said such a thing, Mr. Liu wouldn't have cared. He would have just glanced at the other person out of the corner of his eye and already lost.

But it was Old Li who said that…

He is a giant in the scientific research community with a very deep connection with Mr. Liu's family, an academician! This statement from the other party may very well be recorded in history books in the future, or at the very least, it will be included in Professor Li's personal memoirs and archives.

This sentence……

That's equivalent to labeling him directly!

So when he heard that sentence, Mr. Liu felt as if he had been slashed on the head with a knife, and his body went numb.
