The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 359: Robbing the photolithography machine? It's not impossible...

"Du-du-du-"

In a meeting room for sixteen people, Wu Shuang's cell phone rang.

Her phone would be muted during the meeting, and only a few people could break the silence and make the phone ring.

Without any hesitation, Wu Shuang immediately interrupted the meeting and answered the phone.

When he saw that the caller was Xu Meng, he immediately stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

The others were not surprised and watched her leave calmly. They only heard one sentence before she closed the door: "Server? They are already doing the final touches. Three days later..."

"The project will be officially completed in three days. Is it urgent now?" Outside the meeting room, Wu Shuang was puzzled.

"I'm not talking about the large server center in Qianzhou." Xu Meng shook his head. "I mean, I plan to build a new server center."

"New?" As he spoke, Wu Shuang had already entered another small meeting room and closed and locked the door.

She was very confused. "There is already enough space reserved in this server center. If it is not enough, we can just build more. Why build a new one?"

The Dream Qianzhou large-scale server center is built according to the highest specifications and has very powerful performance.

Compared with the world's top cloud service providers, it is just a little smaller in scale - after all, the time is too short, and it takes time to expand to their scale.

However, considering the expansion speed of DreamBuild, this server center took into account the issue of future expansion in the initial planning and left enough physical space.

But Xu Meng wanted to build a new one as soon as he came up, which caught Wu Shuang off guard.

Xu Meng didn't keep the secret and asked directly: "Have you heard of the photon topology server array?"

On the other end of the phone, Wu Shuang blinked.

She hadn't heard it.

But just by hearing the name, she felt that this thing was very high-end!
"what is that?"

"Well, it's too complicated to explain in detail, but it's probably... a particularly powerful server array."

"How powerful is it?" Wu Shuang had no idea. "Supercomputer?"

Wu Shuang's answer exposed her lack of expertise in this area.

So Xu Meng didn't go into any technical details, but simply said: "Almost the same, but stronger than that."

Xu Meng's overly bland answer made Wu Shuang feel it was a bit of a waste.

But she knew she was not professional and couldn't make sense when talking to Xu Meng on the phone.

So she replied: "Don't worry, isn't the Qianzhou server center going to be put into use soon? You can use this as a transition."

"I'll find an expert in this area tomorrow and talk to you in person."

"Okay." Xu Meng nodded, and then said, "One more thing. I plan to make the dream machine public in a few days."

"Dream machine?" Wu Shuang immediately felt a headache.

In order to allow holographic display equipment to be freely available on the market and sold around the world, Xu Meng came up with the killer weapon, the Dream Machine.

However, it was not made clear on the spot whether the Dream Machine could be freely put on the market and sold.

Now the huge potential of the dream machine has been revealed, and several key departments have been put into use.

If you ask her inner thoughts, she certainly hopes to keep them secret forever.

But Xu Meng's opinion must also be seriously considered.

She had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll report to my superiors right away, and you wait for my news."

Xu Meng nodded and hung up the phone.

He didn't move, but just collapsed on the sofa, stroking Xiao Meng's head while checking Mengjin and social networks.

At the same time, he quietly waited for Wu Shuang's call.

He didn't wait long.

Just 8 minutes later, the phone rang again.

Xu Meng picked up the phone, and Wu Shuang's hurried voice immediately rang in his ears: "Boss Xu! Is the photon topology server array you mentioned earlier a server array built based on the combination of silicon photonic chips and topological quantum materials?"

"Yes." Xu Meng nodded, "What else?"

Through the phone, Xu Meng heard the sound of Wu Shuang taking a deep breath.

She tried hard to suppress her excitement, but she couldn't calm down: "You should tell me clearly how exaggerated this thing is!"

After the meeting, she immediately found technical personnel in the corresponding field to learn about the server array that Xu Meng mentioned.

Her original intention was to understand how powerful the new server was and how much it cost, so that she could have a targeted report when reporting to her superiors.

But the technicians' response far exceeded his expectations.

Professor Fang, who is 53 years old and usually has a serious face and is unsmiling, was stunned when she said the words "photon topology server array".

The first thing I said after I realized what was happening was: “Impossible!”

"Absolutely impossible!" Wu Shuang blinked and asked why.

Professor Fang really understands technology, starting from silicon photonic chips, to topological insulating material technology, to precious rare earth materials, domestic semiconductor industry, processing technology, and yield rate...

He spoke eloquently about a bunch of difficult problems, proving that what he said about "impossible" was not an exaggeration.

Wu Shuang realized the difficulty of this matter.

But I do not agree with Professor Fang's conclusion.

——She felt that Professor Fang understood technology, but did not understand Xu Meng.

Why can't a person who has created three scientific miracles in a row create a fourth miracle?

Don’t talk about academic background or technical fields.

This is not the first time Xu Meng has created miracles across professional fields!

But she did not refute Professor Fang's words, but just asked: "What would happen if it could really be built?"

"How is it?" Professor Fang's voice unconsciously became higher.

"This thing can reconstruct human computing civilization!"

"Cracking RSA-4096 encryption is as easy as taking candy from a sack!"

"Do you know what this means? The global financial system will face a systemic security crisis!"

"Also! The process of building a photon topology server is the process of redefining the global semiconductor industry standards!"

“You should also understand how important it is to master and define standards.”

"This thing is definitely the technology that is closest to computing power monopoly at present!"

……

Professor Fang spoke eloquently and never stopped.

And "cracking encryption", "shaking financial security", "computing power monopoly", "redefining semiconductor industry standards"...

These key words one after another caused a strong psychological impact on Wu Shuang.

Even more exaggerated than the first time I heard about the [Dream Machine]!

——The dream machine is certainly very powerful, but after all, it will not have such a strong and direct impact on the economy and society like this server array!

"So, just like the previous holographic display device and dream machine, you also have specific ideas this time?" Wu Shuang asked on the phone.

"Yes." Xu Meng nodded, "I have it, but I'm still missing some conditions."

Wu Shuang took a deep breath.

"Just say it! The support you get this time is [unlimited]!"

"No limit?" Xu Meng was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Can we rob then?"

"Ah?" Wu Shuangke didn't expect this.

Xu Meng said with a faint smile: "In a few days, Photonautix will send the latest EUV lithography machine to the United States. How about we grab it? You have someone bring holographic equipment, and I will provide full optical camouflage and digital masking. Let's work together to make a big deal!"

Wu Shuang was screwed by Xu Meng.

After a long pause, he said with difficulty: "As for this, I need to report it for discussion."

Xu Meng nodded in understanding, and roughly understood the upper limit of [Unlimited Support].

"Don't report it, I was just kidding."

Wu Shuang was even more confused.

"Silicon photonic chips are different from traditional electronic chips," Xu Meng explained. "They don't require EUV lithography, just DUV, which is available in China."

Without waiting for Wu Shuang to speak, he continued, "Compared to the lithography machine, the more critical thing now is: we must make the Dream Machine public as soon as possible, and then gradually arrange for the Dream Machine to be listed."

“???” Wu Shuang had more question marks on his head.

What is the relationship between the server and the dream machine?
You are just taking advantage of the situation, right? ?
But even if Xu Meng really was taking advantage of the situation, she had no choice but to nod and agree: "I understand, if you want it to be made public, then let's make it public."

"Okay! Give me a few days to sort out my thoughts and write out a detailed plan. We can talk more when we meet later."

Xu Meng said this and was about to hang up the phone.

Next, it’s time to arrange a new course for Xiao Meng!
The unveiling of the dream machine also requires him to appear in person, and all these things must be completed before April 4st.

But Wu Shuang stopped him: "Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?" Xu Meng asked.

Wu Shuang asked seriously: "Are you sure that you can't use the latest EUV lithography machine?"

"If you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me."

"If necessary... the action you mentioned earlier is not completely impossible."
