After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 185: So many industry giants gathered here, what big thing are they planning to do? !

"Guangquan, what do you think it will be?"

The live broadcast of CCTV News Channel cannot be switched off at all, especially at this moment. Even the opening and ending credits of the news live broadcast room have been removed, and it has become a complete live broadcast of the press conference.

Moreover, Kang Hui and Zhu Guangquan praised Baiju Technology's products so highly that those who didn't know would have thought that the advertisement was bought by Baiju Technology.

In fact, Hao Cheng didn't even know about this.

"Core route," Zhu Guangquan shook his head: "I guess it's not the chip, but the route?"

"I don't have more information than you do, except for one thing. At this moment, almost all domestic chip-related industry chain companies, including Huawei, SMIC, Shanghai Microelectronics, Loongson, Huada Jiutian, Yangtze Memory, Moore's Thread, Nanda Optoelectronics, and Unisoc, have been invited to Linzhou. At this moment, they all have at least one vice president or above at the press conference."

As Kang Hui spoke, the camera on the scene no longer paid attention to the dance on the stage and just wandered around the front row looking for people.

Meng Wanzhou (Huawei's rotating chairman), Yu Dong (Huawei's executive director), Zhang Jian (founder and CEO of Moore's Threads), Liu Feng (Chairman of SMIC), Yang Xiao (CEO of HuaDa JiuTian), He Ming (Chairman of Huwei), ...

When these faces appeared one after another in the CCTV live broadcast room, the audience immediately boiled over...

"Just the fact that all these people have gathered here means that the task they are going to do is going to be huge!"

"Yes, except Meng Wanzhou, all the others are chairmen or founders of various companies!"

"Mr. Ren usually does not come out except for special occasions. He is in semi-retirement. Meng Wanzhou, as the rotating chairman during this period, can fully represent Huawei. The terminal chairman Yu Dong is also here."

"So, what is this specification for?"

"Do something big!"

"Bullshit, you don't have to say that!"

……

Each shot represents the industry's top companies and talents.

Although, on a global scale, their achievements cannot yet be compared with those of the world's top companies such as Intel, Nvidia, and ASML, but in China, they have already reached the ceiling level.

"I am becoming more and more curious about what kind of surprise Baiju Technology has prepared for us today."

Looking at the giants in these industries, Kang Hui fell into deep thought: "Chips have almost become an obsession for our country.

"Since the 1960s and s, with the assistance of the former Soviet Union, the chip industry began to take off. The Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was established in , and the first digital integrated circuit was developed in .

"We started very early and had strong faith at the time. However, due to backward technology, weak market competitiveness and the gradual marginalization of financial support, the entire industry once fell into stagnation. For a long period of time, when people talked about chips and systems, it was a sad story of "lack of core and soul".

"Subsequently, although the results of Project 908 and Project 909 were not obvious, these two projects laid the foundation and pattern of the current domestic chip industry and left us a valuable legacy.

"Afterwards, SMIC, Huawei, Spreadtrum and others started to design and manufacture chips, gradually forming the current situation."

After a short break at the scene, CCTV News quickly sorted out the entire process of China's chip development, and counted the past and present of the state-owned enterprises present, which plans had been left over from the reorganization, and the successes and failures they had experienced.

The history of chips is full of bitterness and tears.

"We have been seeking survival in the corners of the market and developing continuously in the cracks of sanctions. Looking back," Kang Hui gave this evaluation: "Although we are still in a relatively backward state in high-end chips.

"But Guangquan, have you noticed that our country has the most complete links in the chip industry chain, including lithography machines, silicon wafers, key materials, IP cores, etching, packaging, EDA tools, etc.

"It can be said that almost all fields are involved. And this is something that the whole world, including America, does not have. Imagine if all these companies reached the world's advanced level, what would it be like?"

"This..." Zhu Guangquan was stunned, but this stunned expression just reflected everyone's mood at the moment.

"Fuck, this is really a bold idea! We are the first in all aspects? Doesn't that mean we are the whole industry?"

"But global division of labor is the trend. Only through division of labor and cooperation can each party give full play to its own advantages. Cooperation is beneficial to both sides. Isn't going against globalization a step backward in history?"

"Bullshit! Are we going backwards? Isn't it your American dad who is going backwards? Yu Dong said before that it was because he believed too much in the global division of labor that he was caught off guard!"

"That's right, everything must be in our own hands! Those who are not of our race must have different hearts!"

"I think Baiju Technology has the same view. With so many companies gathered here, they must want to use Xiaosha's fine-tuning model to comprehensively improve the level of every link, at least not inferior to that of foreign countries!"

"Not inferior to foreign countries? We always compare ourselves with foreign countries. Which foreign countries are we comparing ourselves with?"

"Of course, it's the sum of all countries except China! For example, photolithography machines must be aimed at ASML in the Netherlands, photoresists and silicon wafers must be aimed at companies in Japan, and chip design and EDA tools must be aimed at America!"

"We strive to be the best in everything. This is our stubbornness. But some things cannot be done by stubbornness. They need to be developed step by step. To be honest, China's chip development is not slow. Apart from other things, which country in the world has such a complete industrial chain? It takes time to be the best!"

"That's perfect. Time is exactly what Baiju Technology is good at - we use the 'week' to record years!"

"Hahaha!"

……

Now, people are much more confident when discussing chips than in the early years.

After all, with the success of Kirin, Kunpeng, and Ascend, and the excellence of Yangtze Memory Technologies and Changxin Memory Technologies, we have made great progress compared to the early years when chip resurfacing was fake and kernel open source was passed off as independent, making people feel ashamed.

Now, all people expect is to quickly have their own "pure-blooded" architecture, completely abandon open source instruction sets and architectures such as ARM and even RISV, and even hope that all codes will be in Chinese.

Moreover, everything must be the best in the world.

This is a little bit of fun for Chinese people.

What should I do?
Of course it satisfies you!

After the dance ended, the big screen displayed these words: "So what should I do? Of course, I will satisfy you!"

Hao Cheng took the stage with an inexplicable smile on his face: "Core Road, this is not only the road we came from, but also the road to the future, a new road that covers all aspects, the entire system, and the entire chain."

One PPT, the whole chip industry. Instruction set: instruction set based on knowledge-cognition mapping - metacognitive instruction set.

Architecture: A three-dimensional full-body microprocessor architecture based on knowledge-cognition mapping - a metacognitive architecture.

System: Unbounded system.

System: A brand new carbon-silicon fusion semiconductor with silicon as the base and carbon as the line.

Manufacturing: Vapor deposition, laser ablation to prepare single-arm carbon nanotubes, photolithography and directional arrangement integrated into silicon-based chips. (Preliminary)

Trial areas: All fields including computers, mobile devices, large chips, small chips, etc.

Everyone read the six lines of large characters over and over again. Some people even read until their eyes were sore but they were reluctant to blink. They just rubbed their eyes and continued to read again.

"I know all these characters, but when they are put together, I don't understand anything."

"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that the world of chips has completely changed!"

"Not necessarily. The new theory is a new theory, and it seems to be true. But, is it better than the current silicon semiconductor? I dare not say at this time, right?"

"If any other company released this thing, I wouldn't argue with you, but this is Baiju Technology. Why would Baiju Technology release something that is not powerful? Is it just for the sake of looking good?"

Indeed, for any domestic enterprise, the new route, even if it is not strong, is also an achievement.

For example, many institutions and laboratories are researching carbon-based flexible chips and quantum chips, and have achieved many results. In some special computing fields, they even surpass current chips.

This type of chip has only specific uses, and general-purpose chips are still dominated by silicon.

But the one who released these things was Baiju Technology, and the time was at a product launch conference, so it must be a general-purpose chip, and it must be better than the current chips.

"Although I don't understand, I believe it!" This is the trust that most people have in Baiju Technology. You can call it brainless or admiration, but the foundation of this trust is formed:
"If there is any company that I can trust without a second thought, it is Baiju Technology. Huawei can't do this! If many companies are controlled by capital, and Huawei is more like a collectively owned company, then Baiju Technology is completely different."

"What's the difference?"

"This doesn't look like a company. Whether it's a private company, a state-owned enterprise, or a foreign company, there's nothing like it. If you have to say it's like something, Baiju Technology is more like doing charity. Yes, that's right, it's like an advanced civilization coming to Earth to help alleviate poverty!"

"Pfft, you're really bold! Okay, stop talking nonsense here. The knowledge documents related to metacognition instructions and architecture have been uploaded to the official website. Interested professionals can go and take a look."

……

The official website released technical documents in line with Hao Cheng's release rhythm, but Hao Cheng did not explain much about it at the press conference, but only posted a few architecture diagrams and principles.

"Those who are interested can go to the official website to view and download relevant information and documents. I will not elaborate on overly professional things here, because non-professionals will not understand them, and not everyone is interested in them," said Hao Cheng.

"No, tell me about it! I don't understand, but I'm happy even if I don't understand. What's wrong with me liking to listen? Hey, the metacognitive instruction set sounds better than ARM and X86, but those two don't have any substance at all!"

"I don't want to be so thorough. The more I reveal, the easier it is to leak information. Besides, why are there technical documents on the official website? Isn't this helping the enemy?"

"Aiding the enemy? Haha! Are ARM and X86 some incomprehensible theories? Why haven't we figured it out in all these years? This is not a theoretical problem at all, but a manufacturing problem! I've roughly read the official website's documents..."

Not only this netizen saw it, but also chip design and manufacturing related companies such as Intel, Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, ASML, and TSMC also downloaded the relevant documents as soon as possible to find out more.

"How is it?" Intel, David Zinsner is very concerned about this matter.

If we talk about the chip company that has had the hardest time in recent years, Intel must have a place.

In 2024, Intel's value was almost halved, less than half of what it was three years ago in 2021, and it lost a full $ trillion in market value.

This has no direct relationship with Baiju Technology - all of Baiju Technology's current actions actually have minimal impact on Intel, or even no impact at all - firstly, Baiju Technology was established only a short time ago, and secondly, there are indeed no decent PC and server chip manufacturers in China.

To this end, Intel even forced former CEO Pat Gelsinger to retire without confirming a new CEO.

David Zinsner is one of Intel's two newly confirmed interim co-CEOs, the other being Michelle Holthaus.

David Zinsner has more than 25 years of experience in the semiconductor, manufacturing and technology industries, but he is not a technician or has a technical background. He was previously a chief financial officer.

So he quickly called in Justin Lightner, the company's executive vice president and chief technology officer.

"Mr. Zinsner, at present, we cannot confirm the situation of YuanRenZhi's instruction set, but carbon-silicon fusion semiconductors are not new, and we have also conducted relevant research.

"The solution with silicon as the base and carbon as the thread can theoretically push the chip directly into the era of three-dimensional mesh."

Intel has done in-depth research on this. They have even used tools to predict the performance of three-dimensional mesh chips and have published related papers.

"So you mean, we are more advanced?" David Zinsner was delighted.

"The theory is very good, but it cannot be manufactured!" Lightner immediately poured cold water on it:
"The so-called carbon as a line refers to single-arm carbon nanotubes. The current manufacturing level can only be done by photolithography first, and then connected in the vertical direction with single-arm carbon nanotubes.

"This approach is very useful for storage cores, but it is not applicable to CPU processors at all."

"What about Baiju Technology?" Jinsina asked puzzledly.

"This, in theory, is a 360-degree spider web of single-arm carbon nanotubes," Leitner said. "We can't make it, and TSMC and Samsung don't have the relevant technology reserves."

"We, TSMC and Samsung don't have it, but China does?" Zinsner didn't believe it.

"I don't know, but that's Baiju Technology, maybe with the help of Xiaosha!" Leitner pondered for a while: "The reason why we can't make it is because the connection is too complicated and cumbersome, beyond human power.

"The spider-web-like connections need to be coordinated with chip design and functions. Once a many-to-many relationship is established, it becomes even more confusing. Automation and computational lithography machines cannot handle such a complex relationship.

"but……"

"But what?" Seeing that Lightner was so slow, Zinsner couldn't help but ask.

"But, they have Xiaosha!"
