One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty Seven: Digging Deeply

Brothers, I have opened a new book again: Restarting Life: I can call myself ten years ago. Brothers, help me collect it and give some recommendations!

******************

According to the rules, I turned in my mobile phone and all the equipment for taking pictures.

Then everyone entered the factory under the leadership of He Xiaojun, but not before entering the production workshop.

Still following the rules, everyone was dusted and disinfected first.

Next, each person was given an anti-static suit. This suit was not the kind of anti-static suit made for fun.

But it really covers everyone from head to toe.

Each person was also given a full-face mask, covering their ears, nose, throat and eyes.

Breathing is done through the filter device on the mask.

After a group of people finished dressing, and then someone checked them, they entered a dust removal and disinfection workshop and completed the dust removal and disinfection again.

Then we entered the workshop...

But this time, when they entered the workshop, everyone was stunned.

Because inside this workshop, it looks really sci-fi...

The all-white color scheme, from the roof, to the floor, to the walls, is all white.

Even the exposed load-bearing steel beams on the roof, the wires arranged along the steel beams, and various transportation tracks.

As long as it is within the allowed range, everything is painted white.

Parked in the distance are large machine tools similar to photolithography machines, which are currently working.

"This is our 40-nanometer carbon nanotube chip production line!"

"The assembly has only been completed recently, the testing has just been completed, and it has only been put into production for about three months..."

"Before this, there is still a time where graphite will be processed into graphene, and then rolled into carbon nanotubes through a special process..."

"Those carbon nanotubes will be transported here again, and then go through our special process,

Stacked layer by layer, carbon nanotube chips are built..."

While explaining, He Xiaojun led President Booth and several of his personal followers to visit the entire carbon nanotube chip production process.

Although Mr. Booth is also a well-informed person, he has also been to Sansang's chip factory, and he has also been to some domestic chip factories.

But no one has ever let him get so close.

The most important thing is that what they visited this time was not the production of traditional silicon-based chips, but the production of the world's top carbon nanotube chips.

When looking under an electron microscope, you can see that each carbon nanotube is like a pipe, arranged in rows in grooves.

Then they are stacked row by row, just like the process of placing transistors on silicon-based wafers.

The carbon nanotube chip was completely completed at the last moment.

The entire production process was so shockingly completed that Booth felt relaxed and happy watching it.

When the chips are finally completed, they are taken out of the equipment and sent to the production line for transportation.

When it came to the next stage of testing and encapsulation, he even sighed at the wonder of the Creator.

But this time, it's not just as simple as magic.

He even suddenly had a feeling that human beings are the creators.

Yes, human beings can create such sophisticated and complex things. If humans continue to persist in this way, sooner or later one day.

Human beings will become the gods they call themselves!

He soon figured it out, and it seemed that he was relenting.

It's just that on Spark Technology's side, if their rice company wants to achieve the same status as Company H, there is definitely no way.

As soon as Company H got started, it was a carbon nanotube chip made with a 28nm process.

This is also the world's top new carbon nanotube product. In terms of performance, it beats the top 5 nanometer silicon-based chips.

Even the 3-nanometer silicon-based chip launched by Tejipoint can only kneel down and call daddy in front of this 28-nanometer carbon nanotube chip.

The most frightening thing is that this chip can not only be used in mobile phones, but can also be used to build computer chips.

It is currently said that the latest models of laptops, tablets, and desktop computers developed by Company H based on this chip have entered the final testing stage.

It won't be long before it's ready to go on the market.

Various electronic magazines on the market now are looking forward to the birth of these computers.

Because once these computers go on the market, it means the end of an era dominated by Intel and Microsoft.

Recently, Mr. Damen has been as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

He is almost permanently stationed in the capital, meeting with leaders from all walks of life in the country every day.

There is only one purpose, and that is not to exclude their Microsoft from the next national procurement.

For this reason, he is even willing to open source code to us...

Because of this incident, there has been a huge commotion in the United States. They think Mr. Daimon is betraying him and he is a traitor to America.

Microsoft's stock price fell in response.

But Mr. Damen doesn't care about those gibbering idiots at all.

Because he knows very well that once there is government procurement in China in the second half of the year, they will be removed from the list.

Then they will be finished on the side...

So he has been working on it now, but it is said that he has achieved little success.

And why doesn't Booth understand Mr. Gate's anxiety?

At that time, we finally built the rice mobile phone brand by integrating the industrial chain.

Over the years, although it is an assembly plant, it has still managed to sustain the company.

In the past two years, I originally wanted to take advantage of Company H's ban to dominate the market.

But who would have thought that the benefits were not reaped, but in the end they came back with a plan.

Over the past six months, their market share has been declining continuously.

Let’s not talk about chasing Company H. That’s asking for trouble.

But the problem is, they can't stand it when the fruit special girl lowers the price to compete with them for food.

Originally, if they relied on the mid- to low-end market, they would still be able to make a living.

But now most of their living space is squeezed out by fruits, and they rely almost entirely on purchasing spare parts.

If other companies don't bargain, their costs won't be reduced.

I have talked with Qualcomm several times and hope they can lower the price. After all, times are very difficult now.

But who would have thought that those arrogant bastards would not give in even an inch.

I think they can only survive by relying on Qualcomm chips, so the price is not compromised at all.

Even other chips in mobile phones have to pay patent fees to them.

What's more, they worked so hard to assemble a mobile phone, but Qualcomm took away most of the profits.

He calculated the chip purchase cost, plus other patent fees.

The Qualcomm family will earn 100-200 US dollars from each of their mobile phones.

Mud, if you think about it this way, after all their hard work, they are all working part-time.

This also made Booth angry...

In the past, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and cooperate with Qualcomm.

But now, he decided to try to change his family.

Company H is so arrogant that in the end they were willing to take chips from Spark Technology.

Why can't I?

At least Spark Technology is a domestic company, and he doesn't want to be as domineering as Qualcomm.

It is precisely because of this idea that Boss Booth has been working hard in recent times.

Unexpectedly, it actually produced results.

They really agreed to supply them with carbon nanotube chips, but the chips they supplied were not the top-notch 28nm process chips.

But 40nm...

However, although it is produced using a 40-nanometer process, the benefits of this carbon nanotube chip are definitely superior to silicon-based chips of the same level.

Although Booth was a little disappointed, he could only comfort himself in this way.

And how could He Xiaojun here not understand what Booth was thinking?

In recent times, Spark Technology has been increasing production capacity.

But everyone knows that the investment in this chip factory is huge.

This is true in the silicon-based era, and it is also true in the carbon nanotube chip era.

Think about it, any of the chip factories Intel built in Texas cost tens of billions of dollars.

None are worth less than $10 billion...

Tejidian and Sansang are no different.

The chip factory built by Spark Technology is naturally even more expensive.

In particular, they produce carbon nanotube chips, not silicon-based chips.

So although some of the processes used here are the same as the equipment.

But there are still nearly 40% of the process and equipment used that are different.

And these processes require constant exploration, trial, and then perfection.

The same goes for production equipment, which needs to be developed and manufactured by yourself.

There is a lot of trial and error process, and this trial and error all costs money.

In the end, these costs must be allocated to research and development expenses.

Since the current carbon nanotube chips produced in the 28nm process are already in a standalone position.

As for Spark Technology, they are not in a hurry to move forward.

According to their expectations, ASML had not developed a 2nm process lithography machine, and Sansang and Tejidian had not developed a 2nm process silicon-based chip.

Their 28nm process carbon nanotube chips are still the best on the planet.

In the past, they thought that carbon nanotube chips produced by the 28nm process were at most the same level as the current top-notch 5nm process chips.

But in fact, after conducting tests and comparisons, they discovered that the 28-nanometer carbon nanotube chip actually completely crushed the 5-nanometer silicon-based chip.

Because carbon nanotube chips have inherent advantages in imitating electron escape, interference, and heat dissipation.

Therefore, this chip has great potential that can be tapped, especially after they continue to optimize the arrangement of carbon nanotubes.

After these processes are continuously improved, even if there is no breakthrough in the manufacturing process, the performance of 28-nanometer carbon nanotube chips is constantly improving.

At present, their carbon nanotube chips produced by this process not only crush the current mainstream silicon-based chips produced by the 5-nanometer process.

Even if Sansang and Tejidian have perfected the manufacturing technology of 3-nanometer silicon-based chips, they still have to kneel in front of them and call them daddy.

Even after their latest generation 28nm process carbon nanotube chip came off the production line, it has completely crushed Intel's current top-notch 14nm I9 in terms of performance.

You can even crush him twice...
