Chapter 507: Trillions of Chinese Wealth Wiped Out, Ternary Chip Technology Exposed
Dragon Kingdom Deep City.
Longxing Group’s Bantian base.
In the president's office, after detailed discussions via video conference, the implementation of the IPv6 Internet protocol has been roughly outlined. As the organizer, Chen Xing looked at Xu Weiguo and said, "Academician Xu, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?"
This sentence is not only a question about satisfaction, but also a reminder to Xu Weiguo and the company CEOs participating in the video conference that if there is nothing else, the meeting can be ended.
To put it bluntly.
It was the speech at the end of the meeting.
Xu Weiguo could naturally listen to the subtext and replied: "I am very satisfied with the plan everyone proposed and the execution, of course..."
Halfway through the conversation, Xiao Ma's phone suddenly rang on the other side of the video conference.
Before he could answer, there was a knock on the door of Chen Xing's office.
In less than ten seconds, business executives attending the meeting received calls one after another, or there was a knock on the office door.
You don't need to think about it to know that something big must have happened.
Because large companies have departments to collect real-time information from society or overseas. When encountering particularly urgent matters, they will immediately report it to the chairman's secretary. After the chairman's secretary assesses the degree of urgency, he will convey it in different ways.
For example, for ordinary matters, the secretary may handle it himself.
If something is slightly important, it will be organized into documents and placed in the chairman's desk area.
If it is a special emergency, a phone call is required.
This is also why the position of secretary has great power. To a certain extent, he represents the chairman himself.
"It seems that something happened, Mr. Chen, Academician Xu, I'll take a call first. I'm sorry."
"I'll excuse you for a moment."
"Now that the IPv6 Internet Protocol has a general outline, I will disconnect now and we will talk later."
"I also have something going on here."
The incident happened so suddenly that some corporate bosses chose to turn off their cameras and sounds, while others hung up the video call.
Seeing this, Chen Xing also said: "Let's talk next time and keep in touch."
"Okay, keep in touch."
"Then let's talk next time."
"Then I'll hang up the video call."
After Chen Xing opened his mouth, many bosses chose to hang up. Ren Guofei and Jack Ma turned off the video screen and sound, and still hung up the video conference. Chen Xing also chose to close it manually.
After turning off the video conference, he looked towards the door and said, "Come in."
The next second.
Secretary Xia Wei pushed open the door and entered.
Seeing Xu Weiguo there, she paused for half a second, but still walked into the office.
This slightly stunned action fell into Xu Weiguo's eyes, and he naturally understood that he, an "outsider", needed to be avoided.
"List…"
Just when he was about to speak, Chen Xing signaled: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Chen Xing's words were not addressed to Xu Weiguo, but to Xia Wei.
Because so many bosses received the notice at the same time, if nothing else happens, it must be an external matter, not an internal matter within the group.
Since it is an outside matter, there is no need to keep it secret.
Seeing Chen Xing speak, Xia Wei told what was happening: "Many banks in the United States declared bankruptcy, and the maximum compensation amount was only US$250,000. It seems to be deliberately targeting the Chinese."
Although Republic Bank's announcement clearly states that deposits below $250,000 will be compensated in full, and deposits above $250,000 will be replenished at a certain percentage, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the maximum compensation amount is $250,000.
This is similar to the signboard, which says 5,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan. Except for students who are just starting out in society, who else would believe that they can get the maximum interview salary of 8,000 yuan?
To put it bluntly, writing 8,000 yuan is just to look good and deceive novices, which is the same as 999 yuan.
You may think that 1,000 yuan is expensive, but at first glance, 999 yuan does not seem so expensive. This is the merchant's routine.
"Republic Bank?"
Xu Weiguo was no longer calm.
If he remembered correctly, this is the bank where Chinese people like to save money. It doesn't care about high interest rates, and it has direct business connections with Hong Kong Island.
He also has a deposit of 30,000 US dollars in Republic Bank. It is the money left over from the last time he went to the United States to participate in the "World Computer Exchange Forum". He does not care about it anymore. After all, he can still use it next time when he participates in foreign academic exchanges.
"Well, not only Republic Bank, but also Signature Bank and Reprint Bank have announced bankruptcy and reorganization, and now the Internet has exploded." Xia Wei nodded in response.
After roughly understanding what happened, Chen Xing looked sideways at Xu Weiguo and said, "Academician Xu, what do you think of this matter?"
"This is a trampling on Longguo's overseas deposits. The logic of Western banditry has indeed not changed." Xu Weiguo said calmly.
Although he only saved 30,000 U.S. dollars for overseas academic exchange expenses, many rich people have more than 30,000 U.S. dollars, and this amount can be more than a hundred times.
Combined with the "Asian Segmentation Act" issued some time ago, it is obvious that the United States is targeting Chinese bank deposits.
As for Xiao Ma, who was on the other side, when he heard the secretary reporting the news, his vision almost went dark and he felt dizzy.
However, he still held on, waved his hand and said, "You go out first."
"Okay Mr. Ma."
Wait for the secretary to close the office door.
Brother Ma finally couldn't hold himself any longer, his eyes flashed with pain, he clenched his fists and said, "I didn't expect the United States to be so shameless, and actually thought of using bankruptcies to annex Chinese assets."
He also regretted putting his money in the United States to earn interest.
A total of 2 billion US dollars, his money was just gone, and no one else would be able to calm down.
Not only Brother Xiaoma, Jack Ma, Liu Dongzi, and Zhou Hongwei all have deposits in Republic Bank, and the amounts are not small, they are hundreds of millions of dollars, or even more than ten or two billion.
Of course.
They also have separate storage.
But this time it was purposeful. Not only did Republic Bank declare bankruptcy and reorganization, but also Signature Bank, Republish Bank and other banks with a large concentration of Chinese depositors also declared bankruptcy and reorganization. Anyone who wants to target this is well aware of it.
Now not only Xiao Ma, but also Chinese entrepreneurs including Jack Ma, Liu Dongzi, and Rebus have had their U.S. savings targeted. This has also made them realize that they must not put too many assets overseas, because even if they are seized, Now, do you dare to theorize?
If you really dare, not to mention washing your hair at 7.62, 5.56 is still enough.
"I have to ask if it can work." Thinking of this, Xiao Ma quickly dialed the number of his overseas agent, Pete.
"Dududu——"
After about ten seconds, the call was connected.
"Mr. Ma? What's the matter?"
Peter's tone was sleepy, obviously he hadn't woken up yet.
Because of the time difference, it is still early morning in the United States.
Although it was early in the morning, things were getting serious now. His manager, Pete, was still fast asleep, which made Brother Ma feel a little angry.
But he didn't show it immediately because Pete still has value now.
"Republic Bank, Signature Bank, and Republish Bank declared bankruptcy and reorganization. What on earth is going on?"
"What? Bankruptcy and reorganization?" Peter suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed.
As Ma's agent, if Ma's overseas assets are eliminated, will he still receive management fees?
If this doesn’t work well, you’ll lose your job!
"You'd better check the message now. I'll give you twenty minutes to send me the results of this matter. If the money is gone, our cooperation will end here, and I will also hold you legally responsible. "
Brother Ma couldn't bear the pressure and hung up the phone directly.
At the moment when the three elements of twenty minutes, facing unemployment, and the sponsor's claim were added together, Peter felt a rush of energy surge into his heart. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he ran naked to the office and turned on the computer.
After understanding what had happened, he immediately called the bank manager to inquire about the specific situation.
"Dududu——"
No one answered.
He resumed dialing.
Still no one answered.
He tried other channels to contact him, but was unable to contact him. The bank manager who was doing deposit business seemed to have disappeared from the world.
"broken."
"It's broken, it's broken."
"Something big happened this time."
Peter keenly sensed that something was wrong. He thought over and over again and dialed the number of his contacts on Wall Street.
The busy signal didn't ring for a few seconds, and the call was hung up, followed by a text message in reply.
[Look for your next employer. ]
Looking at the content of the text message, Peter finally understood the situation of Brother Ma's assets and basically declared that he could not get them back.
Recalling the previous subdivision bill, he also gained some insights.
But the problem now is that if he cannot recover the money, then he may be sued by Xiao Ma for compensation because the two signed an asset custody agreement.
It is said that there are three legal departments on earth that cannot be messed with. One is Disney, the other is Nintendo, and the third is Penguin.
Being targeted by these three legal departments is no joke.
Take Disney as an example. Some people joked on the Internet that if you are afraid of being secretly photographed when checking into a hotel room, you can put a Mickey Mouse doll on the bedside and then do whatever you want. If there is a pinhole camera to capture the video and post it online If you make a profit, Disney's legal department will take a heavy blow.
Of course.
This is just a joke.
As for whether it is useful, no one knows.
But it is undeniable that the legal departments of Disney, Nintendo and Penguin are really powerful, otherwise there would not be so many jokes.
At the thought of being targeted by the Penguin Legal Department, Peter planned to run away first as a way of honor, since he didn't have a wife anyway.
I saw him silently blocking Brother Ma's number, quickly packing his luggage and preparing to run away.
And Xiao Ma, who had been waiting in Longguo Shencheng for twenty minutes, was walking back and forth, waiting for Peter to call back, but after another five minutes, Peter still didn't call him back, and he felt vaguely that something was wrong.
He tried to call and inquire about the progress, but the result was a busy signal and automatic hanging up.
"..."
Silence for a few seconds.
Xiao Ma can only accept the cruelty of reality.
Not only Brother Ma, but also other corporate bosses and Chinese people living in the United States can only accept the fact that their money has been misappropriated by the United States after trying various channels to no avail.
As soon as the embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the United States learned of the situation, they immediately made solemn representations to the United States and requested a complete written report on the bank's bankruptcy.
Republic Bank, Signature Bank, and Reprint Bank responded very quickly. They were well prepared and handed over their operating accounts and complete written reports to the Chinese Embassy in the United States through the FDIC Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The diplomats from the embassy carefully studied the written documents and reports, and all shook their heads. The other party was obviously well prepared.
After all, bank bankruptcy is legal in the United States. They go through the formal procedures to go bankrupt. Even if you go to court, it will be useless.
"Since the incident has already happened and the other party is playing rogue again, there is no need to worry about it. Let's settle the accounts later."
"It can only be like this."
"Then I will report to the relevant domestic departments."
"Go ahead, the United States, which made its fortune by robbery, can't change its bones."
The diplomats were indignant, but they were helpless. After all, the other party had even prepared complete written documents, and they had no way to deal with the other party.
The bankruptcy of Republic Bank, Signature Bank, and Reprint Bank not only harmed the interests of Chinese people, but also targeted Asian groups, especially Japanese and Korean tycoons.
After this incident, it was not the US bank phone that was bombarded, but the Swiss bank phone, all of which were Asian customers requesting to withdraw their deposits.
Perhaps the United States would not have thought that their operation to prevent the return of funds would directly cause the "fence-sitter" Swiss banking industry to suffer a catastrophe.
...
Shencheng, Longguo.
Bantian Base of Longxing Group.
The chip laboratory in the R&D building.
Qu Cheng, Liu Dongsheng and other academicians of Longke Academy of chip design know nothing about the outside world and are still immersed in the world of "Fuxi Chip".
After looking at the binary logic circuit design diagram of Fuxi chip, Qu Cheng, Liu Dongsheng and other academicians of Longke Academy of Sciences couldn't help but sigh.
"So this is the extraordinary feature of ternary chip. No wonder Mr. Chen said that ternary chip will have the potential to shuffle binary chip. This is not possible, but certain!"
"I thought it was to add a negative number expression, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated."
"It opened up a whole new world for me. If I write a paper with ternary chip, it will definitely cause a sensation in the academic community!"
"Too exquisite!"
"Too mysterious!"
Their feelings at this time can be summarized in one sentence, that is:
If you don't understand, seeing Fuxi chip is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. If you understand, seeing Fuxi chip is like an ant seeing the blue sky.
Compared with the binary circuit diagram, the ternary chip circuit diagram has three states in addition to the level mode. What amazed them most was the logic gate circuit.
Since the ternary circuit diagram is designed with three level modes, the design of its logic gate circuit is much more complicated than that of the binary circuit.
For example, in the binary circuit diagram, the NOT gate circuit only needs to realize the conversion of two states, while in the ternary chip design, the NOT gate circuit needs to realize the cyclic conversion between three states.
To achieve this conversion, Gao Zhengqian used resistors for the first time.
Yes!
Use resistors to achieve balance.
In the binary chip circuit, it usually pursues low resistance, because the higher the resistance value, the higher the heat and power consumption.
The former Snapdragon 810 chip, because of its poor circuit design, the resistance value could not be reduced, which caused the chip to not only have high power but also hot when running.
And Gao Zhengqian deliberately used resistors in the ternary logic gate to balance the output between different levels. This ingenious design opened the eyes of Qu Cheng and Liu Dongsheng and refreshed their understanding of chip circuits.
This is a bit like crayfish, which is rampant in the United States and makes countless people headache about how to eliminate it. But in Longguo, sorry, 50 Longguo currency per kilogram.
Listening to the exclamations of the academicians, Gao Zhengqian continued to say: "Although the deliberate use of resistors will increase the power consumption of the chip, there is also a way to solve it, that is, to let the chip actively dissipate heat."
"This..."
"Ah?"
Qu Cheng, Liu Dongsheng and other academicians of the Long Academy of Sciences were stunned in place. Let the chip actively generate airflow, what kind of design is this?
Textbooks don't write about it!
Not only is this not written in textbooks, but academic forums in the field of chip design have never mentioned active chip heat dissipation!
They don't understand why chips can actively dissipate heat.
You must know that today's chips are all passively cooled, and the heat generated needs other heat dissipation designs to alleviate, such as the air cooling and water cooling used by computer hosts.
As if seeing the doubts of the academicians, Gao Zhengqian continued to talk: "This is a brand-new chip design architecture. It integrates a tiny mechanical structure inside the silicon chip and uses the physical movement of the thin film piezoelectric layer to generate airflow."
"..."
Silence!
The academicians were silent collectively!
They didn't expect that Gao Zhengqian not only perfectly used the resistor, but also used the thin film piezoelectric layer as a heat sink for the chip.
They already had a rough outline in their minds. This is a magical architecture.
After about ten seconds, an academician finally reacted.
"It's so ingenious. Integrate a tiny mechanical structure inside the silicon chip, and then use the physical movement of the thin film piezoelectric layer to generate airflow, and finally transport heat through the heat dissipation layer. Is this really a chip architecture that humans can think of?"
"Chief Gao is so amazing, I surrender!"
"I used to think that Qu Cheng and Liu Dongsheng were bragging, but now I see that they are really extraordinary. Chief Gao is really a god!"
"I want to stay and learn."
Originally, they were dismissive of this academic exchange. After all, as academicians of the Longke Academy, they didn't believe that the gap could be so big.
But after they actually came into contact with it, they understood the difference.
Resistance balance.
Thin film piezoelectric layer.
They had never thought about these.
When Qu Cheng saw someone asking to stay, he quickly said: "Ahem, Chief Gao, look, we are quite interested in ternary chips, can you let us stay?"
"Yes, we definitely won't be a disservice." Liu Dongsheng quickly agreed.
"sure."
Qu Cheng did not refuse. The current workload of the ternary chip project was too large. If there were ready-made manpower with a little training, chip development might be accelerated.
"real?"
"Do you really want us to stay?"
"Very good!"
The academicians cheered.
When they were most excited, Gao Zhengqian suddenly poured cold water on him and said, "But whether we can stay or not, we have to ask our president for instructions. The decision lies with him."
"There's no rush, I'll talk to Mr. Chen later." Upon hearing this, Qu Cheng immediately felt confident and continued: "By the way, Chief Gao, have you made any predictions on the storage efficiency of the Fuxi chip?"
"No, after all, it is still in its infancy, but what is certain is that with the same number of digits, the amount of information represented by ternary is greater than that of binary. For example, when representing the number 10, binary requires 4 digits, while ternary only requires 4 digits. 3 digits are required. Therefore, ternary chips have greater advantages in storage capacity.”
Gao Zhengqian replied.
After talking about the advantages of ternary chips, everyone began to discuss the difficulty of the chips.
Academicians such as Qu Cheng and Liu Dongsheng did not dare to relax for a moment. They were in a tense state for fear of missing important details.
Gao Zhengqian didn't hide anything. He gave a general talk about the difficulties and requirements of circuit design and manufacturing, integration, and supporting hardware. He also amazed the academicians of the Long Academy of Science and Technology that ternary chips are so complicated.
…
As evening approached, Chen Xing also brought Xu Weiguo to the chip research and development laboratory. Looking at the academician who was concentrating on "listening to the lecture", he was not in a hurry to interrupt, but waited for Gao Zhengqian to finish speaking before coughing twice.
"Ahem."
The sound woke up the academicians.
"Mr. Chen?"
"Mr. Chen is here!"
"Mr. Chen, we have something to discuss with you."
Seeing the arrival of Chen Xing and Xu Weiguo, chip academicians from the Long Academy of Science and Technology gathered around one after another, and finally Qu Cheng proposed:
"Mr. Chen, we just listened to what Chief Gao said about the ternary chip. It really shocked us. Now we have a bold request, that is, we want to stay and learn the knowledge and principles of the ternary chip. By the way, you can lend a hand to assist with research and development, do you think that’s okay?”
Qu Cheng lowered his posture and sounded pleading. It was obvious that the ternary chip had touched the string in his heart.
This is just like a martial arts master who has been stuck in a bottleneck for decades and has never been able to make any further progress. When he meets a sweeping monk, the bottleneck has been loosened with just a little guidance. There is no doubt that this temptation is fatal.
"Mr. Chen, please!"
"We can pay the tuition, Mr. Chen!"
"Yes, Mr. Chen, if you don't want money, I have a granddaughter and I will build a bridge for you, so you can let us stay!"
"Yes, I, Lao Zhang, have never begged anyone in my life, so I will beg you this time!"
Chen Xing was stunned for half a second by the joint statements of the chip academicians. Before he could speak, Xu Weiguo, who was standing next to Chen Xing, said first, "No, you want me to go back alone?"
"Go, go, go back quickly. By the way, tell Dean Qin that we need to study for a while." Qu Cheng seemed to be sending away a beggar, and almost drove him away with a broom.
"That's right, just go."
"You are not in the field of chip design, you don't understand the secrets of this!"
"That's right!"
Xu Weiguo was a little confused in the wind.
This group of people didn't behave like this when they came here. Now they are eager for him to leave. They all seem to think he is a hindrance.
Seeing this, Chen Xing pressed his hand and said quietly: "You can stay if you want, but you need to ask Dean Qin for instructions. It would be bad if he thinks I am poaching."
"I'll call him now."
Qu Cheng had a strong execution ability and dialed Qin Long's phone number without saying anything.
"Laoqu, are everything settled?"
"Except for Xu Weiguo, we all plan to stay. Dean Qin, do you have any objections?" Qu Cheng also pressed the speakerphone so that Chen Xing could hear clearly.
"Stay all?"
"right."
"Have you thought everything through?"
"Think it through."
"Think it through."
Academicians all agreed.
Listening to the firm attitude of the academicians, Qin Long also had strong confidence in the ternary chip, and then decided: "Okay, then you can stay in Longxing Group, but you have to ask Chen Xing first, and he nodded. You can stay.”
"Mr. Chen is here." Qu Cheng responded and added: "By the way, Dean Qin, please make arrangements for my assistants so that they can also come to Shencheng."
"So does my assistant."
"Can I bring my assistant team over?"
The academicians' agreement again made Qin Long suddenly feel confused.
OK OK!
Play like this, right?
Not only did people leave, but they even took food with them!
