Chapter 480 Two weeks after the announcement of 3D chip technology

New Year's Day is coming in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the seventh year of Xingchen Technology's establishment is about to begin, both the East and the West are holding back their energy. The Semiconductor Alliance wants to regain chip hegemony, while Xingchen Technology is brewing a more terrifying storm, using robotics technology to provide a dimensional reduction blow to the Semiconductor Alliance.

On December 31, the Semiconductor Alliance held a grand New Year celebration in Los Angeles. This unexpected move quickly attracted a lot of criticism.

In the past year, if there is anything worth remembering, it is probably the collective defeat of the Western semiconductor technology group. When the process and architecture are obviously at a disadvantage, the technology group led by Intel lost a large amount of market share, and the products were ignored, and almost lost to grandma's house.

Every day, investors jump from the skyscrapers on Wall Street. Intel has become synonymous with shame from the light of North America. Now that things have come to this point, do these guys have the face to celebrate?

The media and the melon-eating crowd were out of anger and collectively condemned the semiconductor alliance. However, when news about the 3D chip was heard, the media and the masses suddenly changed their faces and praised the merits of scientists.

What is coming is finally here. The CPU performance ladder diagram was updated during New Year's Day. Although the 3D chip technology cannot make up for the process gap with the Star processor, it successfully shortened the gap to 40%.

"It won't take long to catch up or even overtake." Shurakel, the new White House scientific adviser, swears.

"What makes you so confident? You should know that Star Technology uses two major technologies, laser and graphene wafers, and has increased the semiconductor process to zero point and one nanometer! The current highest-level process in the semiconductor alliance is still above one nanometer." The reporter asked in confusion.

Shurakel's mouth tilted lightly and read out the names of a large number of top semiconductor companies. The Dutch Asml and Neon Nikon were responsible for the finished products of lithography machines, while the famous German Zeiss Group, Neon Canon Group, North American Applied Materials Group, and Colin Technology Group.

As for graphene, Cao Yuan's breakthrough in the preparation technology solved the cost problem and made this super material cheap and easy to use. However, the West did not have this technology, and the graphene products produced were expensive. It was obviously not worth the cost to use them to make personal general computers, but if they were manufactured in small quantities, they were used to form supercomputer clusters and conduct scientific research, there was still no problem.

This is very important. The expensive graphene and 3D chip technology prevent the West from falling behind too much in scientific research. Although it costs a lot of dollars, when North America has the right to mint globally, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. The most important thing is not to be left behind by the Chinese.

"Recently, blind and irrational voices have appeared in North America and China." Shurakel spoke as a scholar: "Some people believe that China is about to surpass North America and become the global overlord."

"China claims to have a history of civilization of 5,000 years, and is the only civilization on earth that has continued from ancient times to the present. Then they should read history carefully. As early as 1890, North America surpassed Britain and became the world's largest economy. However, it was not until the end of World War II that North America officially established its position. If it weren't for World War II, Britain would have suffered heavy losses, I think this time would have continued."

"In 1973, the Bretton Woods system collapsed, North America won financial hegemony and became the real global hegemony. So you see, it took almost a century to go from becoming the world's first place in the world economy to truly dominating the world. During this period, there were two world wars that severely hit the former overlord Britain."

"It can be seen that China is too fragile to think of us. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, we are not fighting alone. The power of the entire West is gathering around us. It is unknown who will win to death. I admit that industrial hegemony has fallen into China, but we are still fighting for technological hegemony, and financial and cultural hegemony are still controlled by us!"

Shurakel indeed has a different character from Musk. He is full of anger and does his best to mobilize the audience's emotions, allowing more than one billion people in the Western world to look back on the glory of his ancestors and look forward to the distant future. Finally, he concluded that China is a difficult opponent, but he may not lose.

During the Christmas and New Year period, major media reported a lot, making the festival atmosphere extremely happy and national confidence rebuilt. Shurakel was also praised on the altar, and people became more and more accustomed to comparing him with Elon Musk.

If you have watched the famous conversation between Musk and Jack Ma, you will find that even a smart person like Jack Ma has obviously no level of thinking as Musk.

If you follow Western media, you will find another strange thing. Every time you interview Musk, Western media led by CNN sends female reporters, with a very good figure and appearance. They graduated from an Ivy League school because only when facing beautiful women can Musk show some mercy and cooperate with the interview a little. Otherwise, the huge gap between realm and thinking ability will make most so-called celebrities unable to raise their heads in front of Musk.

In short, in the West where heroism is prevalent, few people can compare with Musk. Shurakel has gradually come to an equal position with Musk with his passion and achievements in pioneering 3D chip technology.

...

"When it's your turn, don't be nervous. In addition, you have to speak human words." Luo Jia warned Zhang Qidou in the background.

Well…

Zhang Qidou felt very broken inside. What does it mean to speak human words? In the past, he always said birds' songs?

Shen Lang keenly noticed the change in Zhang Qidou's expression and explained with a smile: "The teacher means that you usually talk to your classmates and say whatever you want on stage. It's simple, just like talking to everyone about family matters. Don't learn the broadcasting accent like CCTV. We are scientific workers, we pay attention to facts, and we are not a great leader to give a report, praising our wisdom in policies and the great mountains of the motherland."

Zhang Qidou understood instantly, and his eyes lit up suddenly, "That means, learn to speak like Mr. Luo?"

Shen Lang nodded, "It's almost the same. When the teacher was doing live columns, he occasionally talked about excitement and would bring some dialects and swear words. Don't learn from him."

Zhang Qidou glanced at Luo Jia quietly and said that he understood. At the same time, he remembered that Luo Jia did occasionally speak swear words, especially the words he said a lot about greeting others' grandma and mother. Anyway, Luo Jia's speech was very unserious, as if he was listening to a familiar friend's complaint, without any sense of distance.

"It's time, I'll go up to the warm-up venue first. In about ten minutes, I will invite you to the stage and introduce you to everyone." An Ran raised her wrist and looked at her wrist watch. She saw that it was less than two minutes before 8 o'clock in the evening, so she said.

"Go, let everyone have confidence in our space station, and focus on our space travel and space biological cultivation projects." Luo Jia patted An Ran's shoulder.

As An Ran walked onto the stage, applause suddenly erupted everywhere. An Ran had introduced the company's products and technologies to the public countless times. He had long been used to such scenes, so he did not see any tension.

The 3D chip technology of the Semiconductor Alliance has brought storms to the world. Everyone realizes that the gap has been smoothed out again, Star Technology is no longer far ahead, and the scientific research strength of the West is still extremely strong.
