In the Xinghai Chip Laboratory, Fan Ren sat in his office with his eyes slightly closed.
In my mind, it is not surprising that after so much hard work, from purifying graphene to prepare carbon nanotubes, to upgrading lithography machines for high-voltage radio, and then to the final preparation of the entire chip process.
After going through these processes, the experience bar on his "Spark of Civilization", which had been progressing slowly, suddenly increased significantly.
He has been hiding in the office for quite some time today.
Unlocked basic optical electronic circuit technology.
Basic Mechanical Automation Factory blueprint unlocked.
Unlocked the tri-titanium alloy refining technology.
Nuclear Fusion Reactor technology unlocked.
Huge amounts of information kept pouring into his mind. These were new technologies unlocked by the system after his experience value exceeded 100.
It took Fanren a whole day to absorb most of this information.
When he opened his eyes, they were bloodshot.
But he couldn't help but look beaming.
The knowledge he had always lacked in electronic circuits was made up this time. He had no doubt that he was now no less capable than the talented Ah Dai in designing chip architecture circuits.
Not only that, the second technology is also what he, or Xinghai, needs most urgently at the moment.
Mechanical automation factory blueprint.
The fully automated factory designed according to this blueprint utilizes high-voltage radio technology, solid-state battery technology, and graphene chips.
Basically, he applied all the techniques he had previously studied.
Fan Ren made a careful estimate and found that after the completion of the automated factory designed with this idea, the production capacity could be nearly tripled compared with their current chip manufacturing plant in Xinghai.
Once it goes into production, it will be like timely rain, helping Xinghai Technology solve the current problem of serious insufficient production capacity of various series of chips.
Next, the tri-titanium alloy refining technology unlocked by the materials science classification made Fan Ren scratch his head for a while.
This is a high-strength alloy that is ten times stronger than aluminum alloy.
However, the main ore of this alloy cannot be produced in an oxygen environment, and the mineral resources on Earth are extremely rare. According to the system's introduction, this ore can only be produced in the vacuum environment of space.
Although the data of this alloy material made Fan Ren drool for a while, and its application areas involved all aspects of modern science, his current abilities obviously did not allow him to carry out large-scale production and refining.
His eyes turned to the last unlocked technology.
Nuclear fusion reactor.
Fan Ren suddenly became excited.
Energy issues have always been one of the important factors that have plagued human development. For this reason, countless scientists have devoted themselves to this issue and racked their brains to find ways to discover cleaner and more efficient future energy.
From chemical energy, namely oil, to wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, hydropower and tidal energy and so on.
There are not many directions left to explore in these areas today.
Ever since humans discovered that the sun hanging overhead is a star that is constantly undergoing nuclear fusion reactions, this energy release process of light atomic nuclei combining into heavier atomic nuclei has gradually been recognized by more scientists.
As human beings develop at a rapid pace, environmental issues have begun to be taken seriously by various countries.
This energy, which has high energy density, nearly inexhaustible raw materials, and is clean and environmentally friendly, is also hailed as one of the indispensable energy sources for the future development of mankind.
It is precisely because of this recognition that several major forces in the world have invested huge human and financial resources in this project.
Unfortunately, current human materials science cannot solve the problems of high temperatures of over 100 million degrees Celsius and high pressures generated during nuclear fusion.
How to stably achieve and safely maintain this reaction process has been the focus of scientists from all over the world. Now, Fanren knows what the core material is to solve the problem.
Only the combination of tri-titanium alloy and carbon nanotubes can stably control this high-temperature and high-pressure reaction process.
Sure enough, the unlocking of each technology is developed little by little along the technology tree.
From the initial high-voltage radio to today's nuclear fusion reactor technology, they are all directly or indirectly related to each other.
Fan Ren withdrew from the consciousness space with satisfaction. After sorting out the technical information, he planned the next step.
Graphene chips are selling like hot cakes nowadays. Once they are released, orders are sold out for half a year later.
Although solid-state batteries are restricted in export by the Treaty, they still have considerable profitability due to the high value of patent licensing fees.
Liu Jun's high-voltage radio technology has also begun to be gradually accepted by high-end equipment applications, and the profit margin is growing rapidly every month.
After thinking about it, Fan Ren felt that with Xinghai Technology's current level of capital, it could design and build large-scale mechanical automation factories in order to further increase chip production capacity.
On the other hand, we can also start investing in the research and development of nuclear fusion reactors.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.
I wonder how Jin Qiaoying will react after I tell her about these two plans for the future.
The United States, Jinshan City, Turtle Valley.
Unlike the previous meeting where Jinze was talkative, he was exceptionally quiet today.
The person who was speaking angrily in the conference room was Huang Wei from Yi Weida.
"No, we can't let Xinghai Technology continue to develop. Today, my stock price and the stock prices of everyone here have hit the limit down for two consecutive days!"
"Yes, the total losses of everyone here are close to one trillion! If this continues, I cannot guarantee that our company will not collapse, just taking our AiDM as an example."
Susan from DM Chip Company also had a very solemn expression on her face.
Not only her, but also the CEOs of several semiconductor companies present had basically the same expression as her.
"Jin Ze, tell me what you think."
As the CEO of Intel Corporation and the chairman of the Semiconductor Alliance, Domenice cannot remain silent. Compared to people like them, Jinze, who has been dealing with Xinghai, has more say.
Jin Ze raised his head, which had been lowered all the time, with no expression on his face. He slowly glanced at everyone present and shook his head.
In the eyes of everyone, he did not see the determination to go all out.
"Mr. Jin, Sanxin's stock price has also hit the limit down. Don't you, the successor that Mr. Zhiyong has high hopes for, have any ideas at all?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Ze looked up at the person who said this, and a barely perceptible sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The reason why my grandfather played the clown was because of the CEO of their fruit company. The purpose of saying this now is to put the blame on their own company, Sanxin.
After thinking about it, Jinze felt that he should say something.
"The Apple company sold 12 billion mobile phones last year and has been the world's most profitable company for many years. Now facing threats, it still wants to protect itself and attack us, Sanxin, as the first bird?"
He said this without giving Ku Ke a chance to refute, and turned his gaze to Domenice.
"Intel has been making money for decades with its architecture patents, right? What about now?"
Then, he taunted the pale-faced Huang Wei, “Boss Huang, you are amazing! You have increased the company’s market value to 23 trillion just by using GPU chips! This is unprecedented.”
When everyone was speechless in the face of his ridicule, Jinze sighed again.
"Don't you realize the current situation? Graphene chips! That's a cross-era product with performance dozens of times better than ours! Are you still thinking about preserving your strength? How ridiculous! Are you still thinking about waiting for Sanxin to fight to the death with Xinghai Technology, and then patting your butt and picking up the bargains?"
Jin Ze stood up suddenly and slammed his hands on the solid wood table in front of him.
'boom'
Everyone was shocked.
"Now has come the final moment of life and death for all of you!"
Jinze's angry voice echoed in the office.
