Chapter 365: A Great Change in a Century, a Sign of Rejuvenation

"correct."

After witnessing the power of polymer semi-solid batteries and sulfide solid-state batteries, Qu Cheng also thought of 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 that I would like to ask Chief Gao. I wonder, CEO, which floor is the chip laboratory currently on?"

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, and Wang Hai, they all mentioned Gao Zhengqian from time to time, and their evaluations were highly unified. This is a very scary thing.

If someone says you are awesome, that may just be hypocrisy for fun.

But if a group of people say you are awesome, then there is basically no doubt that you must be 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. I have nothing to do anyway, so let's go up and have a look."

"excuse me."

"Trouble."

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."

"clear."

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 the basic necessities of life, realize the interconnection of all things with 5G high-speed network, and realize the business map we have planned in our hearts.

After instructing 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.

Since 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.

Not a moment.

He stopped in front of the Design Lab.

"I'll make a call."

Chen Xing did not bring an access card.

"OK."

Qin Long and Qu Cheng also expressed their understanding, because the request was made suddenly and it was normal for them to not have time to prepare.

When the call was connected, Gao Zhengqian's slightly magnetic and calm voice came from the phone: "Hey, CEO, what do you want from me?"

"I was outside your laboratory and forgot to bring my access card."

"clear."

A brief conversation and the call was hung up.

Not a moment.

A middle-aged man about 1.78 meters tall, with 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 that there was also an old man with a plain appearance, but since he had never been in contact with him, he did not 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 safe and sound."

Qu Cheng responded with a smile.

Chen Xing acted as a middleman and introduced Gao Zhengqian and Qin Long: "This is Qin Long, the president 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 was an older scholar, but he didn't expect that 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: "Is the president coming here this time to check the research and development progress of Huaxia Chip?"

Chinese chip? ? ?

Qu Cheng and Qin Long felt their hearts pounding.

Guessing 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 3-nanometer chips, many people in the industry just took it as a joke, including Qu Cheng and Qin Long.

But now they found that Chen Xing was not joking, and seemed to be serious, which made Qu Cheng and Qin Long feel nervous.

"Yeah."

Chen Xing did not deny it and responded: "Let's take a look at the progress of research and development. In addition, Mr. Qu said that he wanted to discuss a few issues with you."

"I see." Gao Zhengqian nodded as if he had suddenly realized something, and made way for him and said: "Then please come in."

"Excuse me."

"Thank you for the interruption."

Qu Cheng and Qin Long were still polite.

When they walked into the laboratory, they saw all kinds of computers and researchers were working in their respective positions.

"This way, please."

Gao Zhengqian continued to lead the way.

The four of them passed through several workstations and came to Gao Zhengqian's research and development workstation. 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 7-nanometer logo of the EDA software parameters and asked in confusion: "Are you designing a 7-nanometer chip?"

"Not 3 nanometers?"

Qin Long looked at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing was also stunned, and looked at Gao Zhengqian in confusion and said, "A new chip project?"

It shouldn't be!

Aren't you designing a 3-nanometer chip?

What's going on?

Faced with the question, Gao Zhengqian smiled calmly and responded, "This 7-nanometer is not the same as that 7-nanometer. Instead, it adopts multiple stacking technology to try to double the chip performance. Strictly speaking, it is a 7-nanometer chip with performance close to that of a 3-nanometer chip."

"???"

"???"

Qin Long and Qu Cheng, who were present, were stunned.

7-nanometer is close to the performance of a 3-nanometer chip?

How is this possible!

It's unheard of, I've never heard of it!

But suddenly, Qu Cheng thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Is this the way to break through the quantum tunneling effect and create a higher-performance chip?"

Why is the chip nano-processing slow?

The reason is "quantum tunneling", which must be solved first before a new generation of nano-process chips can be made.

So what is the 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 to form the basic computing power.

If you want strong computing power, the number of transistors inside the chip should be as much as possible.

In a limited area the size of a fingernail, the more transistors the better, which can only be achieved by making the gates between the transistors smaller, which is also the so-called nanometer level.

But here comes the problem.

The smaller the gate, the closer the transistors are, and the currents are mutually attractive, which may cause current convergence.

What does it mean specifically?

It's like saying that two currents pass through the circuit, which should generate two computing units 0 and 1. As a result, because the gates of the transistors are too close, the currents intersect and merge, resulting in only triggering the computing unit 0, and the transistor 1 has no current triggering, which will cause confusion in the chip computing power.

If this problem is not solved, it will be impossible to improve the nanometer level of the chip.

The smallest nanometer recognized by the world is 5 nanometers. If it goes down further, serious quantum tunneling effects will occur.

…

Gao Zhengqian glanced at Qu Cheng and smiled faintly: "Yes, a pure 3-nanometer process chip is not something that can be designed at this stage. It also requires higher-performance EDA software to cooperate."

"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, and only knew that he wanted to make a 3-nanometer chip.

But he never expected that this 3-nanometer was not the same as that 3-nanometer. It has the performance of 3-nanometer, but it is a 7-nanometer process.

"That's right."

Gao Zhengqian nodded, and then corrected: "Although it is 7-nanometer, the chip performance can be achieved at 3-nanometer."

"I understand."

Chen Xing nodded slightly.

No matter how many nanometers the chip is, he only needs the final performance data.

In the bet with Ku Ke, he agreed to double the number of operations. As long as he can do it, he will still be the winner.

"Incredible."

Qin Long sighed again.

Jiang Ce's network security technology, Lingchuan's solid-state battery, and now Gao Zhengqian's chip multiple 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 turned out that there were so many "sweeping monks" in private enterprises. No wonder Longxing Technology can make rapid progress and become the hottest technology company in Longguo.

Qin Long is an atheist and does not believe in the so-called luck.

But now the rapid progress of Longguo enterprises and the endless emergence of top talents remind him of the great changes in the century mentioned by Fang Jingsheng, an academician of philosophy.

What is the great change in the century?

According to the research of historians and philosophers, they found a law.

That is the rise and fall of dynasties. The node that determines whether a country will decline from prosperity or decline from decline to prosperity is a cycle of one hundred years, which is a bit like crossing the catastrophe.

Whether it is the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty, after a hundred years, there will be corresponding events that affect the trend of the dynasty.

For example, the hundred years of the Han Dynasty was the time when Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was in power.

Naturally, his achievements need no introduction. He was able to open up and expand the territory with military force, maintain border stability, and had a civil service system that broke the hereditary system and the concept of family status. Although he forced the prince to death in his later years, leaving a stain on his life, it is undeniable that the Han Dynasty In the hands of Liu Che, the word "strong man" was realized.

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. There was Zhu Qizhen, the "God of War" in the early days, and Zhu Jianshen, the "Emperor Oedipus" in the later years. As a result, the Ming Dynasty's national power declined day by day, and it no longer had the same atmosphere as before.

Through the study of historical laws, historians and philosophers have determined that a hundred years is the limit of a dynasty. 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 Longguo's century-old changes, which is a period that requires efforts. The emergence of outstanding companies such as Longxing Technology, Kunpeng Company, and Frontier Technology, as well as domestic top talents springing up like bamboo shoots, Qin Long gradually believed that a century-old great change really existed. This was the law of the country's destiny and a sign of the Dragon Kingdom's prosperity!

…

at dusk.

When the sun 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 it is lightly covered by a layer of tulle, and the surrounding clouds are also dyed magnificently. color.

At the entrance of Longxing Technology Headquarters, Chen Xing looked at Qin Long and Qu Cheng and said, "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 some polite words, Qin Long glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's sit down and chat when we have time."

"Let's meet again later when we have time."

Qu Cheng echoed.

Seeing that the two of them insisted on leaving, Chen Xing no longer tried to persuade them to stay, and said with a hint of regret: "In this case, I can't persuade them to stay anymore, so we can only get together next time. Please pay attention to your safety on the road, and send me a message when you arrive in the imperial capital. Say hello."

"Haha, okay."

"OK."

Qin Long and Qu Cheng responded one after another.

Then they didn't stay too long, got on the vehicle arranged by Shencheng Dragon Science Academy, 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?"

When Qin Long made an appointment with him, he said that he would spend two days in Shencheng.

What's going on now?

Leaving in half a day?

He hasn't had time to chat with Gao Zhengqian and Chen Xing about their family affairs and enhance their friendship.

Qin Long looked forward and said earnestly: "I originally planned to give myself a holiday to relax my mood, but the people I saw 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 that I didn't even understand it. "

"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 came naturally, which made him secretly happy.

But regarding stacking technology, he really got a rough idea.

3DIC technology, like 3DIC, 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, and it is completely beyond his imagination.

This is like what?

Qu Cheng practices martial arts, and Gao Zhengqian practices immortality, which is completely a 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 that occurred 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. Now there are less than thirty-five years left before the Dragon Kingdom's centenary. I see the ZTE situation."

After Qin Long finished speaking, Qu Cheng couldn't help but complain: "Have you changed your profession to study philosophy?"

"its not right."

Just after he finished speaking, he reached out his hand to feel the temperature of Qin Long's forehead and said, "I remember you are not superstitious, and you criticized philosophers for being crazy, scolding this religion and stepping on that sect. Why do you feel different today?"

Qin Long: "This is different."

"What's different?"

Qu Cheng continued to ask.

Qin Long was speechless for a moment, and said perfunctorily: "Anyway, it's different. Don't ask so many questions. Anyway, it's different this time."

"I understand." Qu Cheng smiled and teased: "Schrödinger's materialist, Dean Qin is a bit double-standard."

"You know shit." Qin Long glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "This is a statement verified by historians. Now that the resurgence is showing, I must help the scene."

"So you are in a hurry to go back?"

Qu Cheng understood a little.

Qin Long nodded, looking forward and said: "You know the temperament of that group of people. They are used to procrastinating, and this also involves the issue of new license review. We must hurry up."

"Don't say it, it does make sense." Qu Cheng nodded slightly.

He had just talked to Chen Xing. Longxing Technology Company will hold a new product launch conference around the end of September or the beginning of October. If the new energy license plate has not been approved by then, electric vehicles will only be treated the same as fuel vehicles and need to be licensed by lottery.

"We can find another time to reminisce about the past. Now I find that there are too many tasks under pressure and I must solve them 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 found that Longguo is in a period of century-long changes.

Whether it is technological potential, industrial development, or military strength, international trade and currency status, there is a trend of surpassing the United States in all aspects. If it can really surpass in all aspects in these areas, then this century-long change will likely make Longguo the world's largest country!

...

On the other side.

Moscow International Airport of the Russian Bear.

Ten An-124 military strategic transport aircraft are ready to go, and the cabin is filled with semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresist production equipment.

"Report to the commander, loading is complete."

The soldier hurried forward.

The officer, who was covered with military medals and well-mannered, took a deep breath and waved his hand, saying: "Ship to Shencheng according to the route, Ura!"

"Ura!"

"Ura!"

With "Ura" shouted one after another, ten 100-ton large transport planes soared into the sky.

After they entered the territory of Dragon Country, two Dragon-20 fighters in the Northern Theater immediately took off to perform escort missions.

Now that the "5G Network International Negotiation Conference" has come to an end, Dragon Country Technology is only short of equipment to enter the international stage, and no one wants to fall behind at a critical moment.

At the same time.

Washington, the United States.

Renato Marotta of Parliament Hill has received news that Germany, the Bear and Dragon Country are about to hold military exercises.

There is no need to say much about the first two, the T0 players in the S2 season.

There is no need to say much about Dragon Country, 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 of the joint military exercise, he also got the secret that Germany and Longxing Technology signed an equipment supply contract, which made Renato Marotta more and more uneasy.

If the three companies join forces to form an alliance, whether it is financial trade or military deterrence, the impact on the United States will undoubtedly be huge.

Renato Marotta now can be described as overwhelmed.

The Federal Reserve is also not doing well now. Although frequent interest rate hikes can harvest other small countries, their goal has never been the money of small countries. If they cannot harvest big countries, they will be fully counterattacked.

In the United States today, whether it is the Ansa military-industrial complex, the Jewish consortium, the All-Seeing Council or the House of Representatives, they have tacitly put down their fights, because they have discovered that the Eastern powers are reviving at an incredible speed, which they do not want to see and are most afraid of.

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 wealth from all over the world, and achieving rapid economic growth in the country.

Once the US dollar loses its hegemonic position, what awaits them is "thrift", which is something that all forces in the United States do not want to see, so they can be twisted into a rope.

However, what Renato Marotta, David Rothschild, and Lyle Wallace did not know was that Huang Renxun, CEO of Nvidia, who had just returned to Taiwan in the name of visiting relatives, did not go to visit relatives at the first time, but called Chen Xing at the headquarters of Longxing Technology Company.

"Beep--"

Two busy tones, the call was connected.

"Mr. Huang?"

Chen Xing's voice was a little surprised.

Huang Renxun also expected it, and went straight to the point: "I changed my mind, maybe we can find a time to talk about cooperation again."

"Where are you now?"

"Treasure Island."

"Then tomorrow?"

"How about tomorrow morning? Because there are too many things involved and involved, we can't let others find out, and we need to discuss it in secret."

Huang Renxun expressed his concerns.

Chen Xing thought about it, nodded and replied: "Okay, the specific time is up to you."
