King of Technology: A Fresh Start in 1983

Chen Jianghe's goals are extremely radical!

The technical difficulty has skyrocketed!

Especially in the design of graphics processing units, there are almost no precedents in China!

Looking at the sketches before him, Zhou Yuguang's eyes blazed with fervor: "Great! Let's go for something big! Graphics acceleration is the future!"

"I'm responsible for GPU logic architecture and algorithm solidification! I also have new ideas for bus driver enhancement!"

"Okay! Leave the font upgrade and board design to me!"

Chen Jianghe continued, "I'll personally handle the wiring for the four-layer board!"

"I'll oversee production at the factory!" Wang Liping patted his chest confidently. "I guarantee I'll lead the way in fully understanding the new technology!"

"I'll handle market preparation and customer communication!"

Zhao Xiaobo rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. "This time, let's go big! Let's hold a product launch!"

With clear division of labor and high morale!

Amidst turbulent waves, Tiangong begins its journey into the deep waters of technology!

In the days that followed, the lights in the construction sheds in Huilongguan stayed on all night.

Chen Jianghe and Zhou Yuguang were completely absorbed in logic equations, timing diagrams, and chip manuals, as if they were under a spell.

The core of a GPU lies in achieving efficient graphics instruction parsing and pixel generation with limited logic resources.

This requires extremely sophisticated algorithmic compression and hardware mapping.

The two often argued heatedly over the optimal algorithm, and then high-fived each other when inspiration struck.

Xiao Wang and Xiao Li, along with several newly recruited workers, under the guidance of Zhou Yuguang, began to try more complex four-layer plate welding processes and new reflow soldering temperature profile adjustments.

Each board undergoes more rigorous aging tests.

In the rudimentary factory, the gears of technological advancement turned with difficulty but unwavering determination.

At the same time, the patent war against [Zhongka] is also proceeding simultaneously.

The lawyer Zhou Yuguang hired through personal connections was a former judge who had just entered the business world.

A detailed "Request for Invalidation of Patent No. 3 for [Zhongka Type III]" has been submitted to the Patent Office.

The study cited multiple pieces of evidence demonstrating its lack of novelty and inventiveness, including early published technical documents on Chinese character cards and similar foreign patents.

Meanwhile, Chen Jianghe's technical clarification article, "Looking at the Chinese Character Card Patent Dispute from a Technical Perspective—Also Discussing the Innovation Path of the Pangu Card," was published on the front page of Computerworld!

The article uses rigorous technical language to compare and analyze the essential differences in the core architecture between Pangu Card and Zhong Card.

The condemnation of the abuse of patents to hinder innovation has resonated widely within the industry!

Public opinion began to tip in Tiangong's favor.

The investigation by the Administration for Industry and Commerce also seems to have stalled, with no new penalty notices being issued.

The rumors spread by Chung Chiu-fai gradually lost their appeal in the face of technical facts.

Three months later.

The Pangu II engineering sample card was finally born after countless failures and debugging!

Chen Jianghe trembled as he inserted the sample card into a Great Wall 0520CH host computer.

start up!

The screen no longer displays monotonous text menus, but instead features clear and smooth table borders and simple bar charts!

The font is much clearer!

The speed of operation and response is visibly improved!

"It's done! It really is done!"

Zhao Xiaobo jumped up excitedly!

Looking at the smooth graphics on the screen, Zhou Yuguang's eyes welled up with tears: "Excellent! Excellent! This is a true technological breakthrough!"

With the product ready, the next step is to make a stunning debut!

Chen Jianghe decided to go all out!

He's going to hold a public technology launch event in Zhongguancun, which will also be a hands-on experience event for the Pangu II!

The location is right next to the electronics market, in a newly opened small auditorium that can accommodate a hundred people!

He wants to use the most hardcore technology to completely shatter the patent rumors surrounding [Zhongka] and declare Tiangong's technological dominance to the market!

The press conference information was released through Zhao Xiaobo's channels and several media outlets.

On the other hand, Chao Hui Electronics was also on high alert, and Zhong Chao Hui's face was so gloomy it could drip water.

The small auditorium was packed to capacity on the day of the press conference.

Two huge banners were hanging at the scene:

"A revolutionary experience! Tiangong's [Pangu II] Chinese Character Card launch event!"

"Unveiling the Cutting-Edge Technology for Graphics Acceleration!"

GG language attracted countless curious glances.

Besides the media and distributors, there were also many tech enthusiasts and potential users who came after hearing the news.

Chung Chiu-fai also sent people to blend into the crowd.

As the main speaker, Chen Jianghe stood in the spotlight for the first time after his time travel.

He was wearing the Tianchang uniform, looking somewhat nervous, but with a determined gaze.

Without any flowery language, it gets straight to the point from the very beginning.

In the simplest language, we will introduce the technological breakthroughs of the Pangu II.

The course focuses on the design principles of the graphics acceleration unit and the resulting efficiency revolution.

Next up is the live demonstration!

Two Great Wall machines with identical configurations, one with a [Zhongka III] and the other with a [Pangu II].

It can run both large spreadsheet software and simple graphics drawing programs at the same time.

The difference is obvious!

The tables on the 【Pangu II】machine scroll as smoothly as silk, and the graphics are drawn instantly!

The [Zhongka III] version, however, experiences noticeable lag and stuttering!

The audience gasped in amazement!

The reporters' flashbulbs went off everywhere!

Just as the demonstration was reaching its climax and Chen Jianghe was preparing to showcase the high-definition printing effect, an accident occurred!

The screen of the demo unit with the Pangu II plugged in suddenly flickered violently, and then went completely black!

A faint smell of burning wafted from the computer case!

"It crashed? It burned out?"

The crowd erupted in uproar!

The people from Chaohui Electronics immediately burst into shrill laughter!

"Look! It's blown up! What a piece of rubbish!"

"Infringing product! The quality is definitely subpar!"

Zhao Xiaobo, Xiao Wang, and the others turned deathly pale!

Chen Jianghe's heart sank!

What happened?!

In the midst of the chaos, Zhou Yuguang dashed onto the stage!

Without saying a word, he unplugged the power and opened the computer case!

The movements were clean and efficient!

In full view of everyone, he held up a clearly charred component.

It's the filter capacitor in the power supply!

"Everyone, look carefully!"

Zhou Yuguang's loud voice boomed through the noise, "It's a problem with the power supply filter capacitor that comes with the main unit!"

"This main unit did not have a test unit label; it was temporarily switched out by someone."

"This has nothing to do with the Pangu Card! Our card is intact!"

He immediately pulled out the Pangu II card and inserted it into a spare host computer next to the test machine!

Power on! Run! Smooth as ever!

Zhou Yuguang's gaze swept across the entire room like lightning. "Someone wants to use despicable means to smear Tiangong? Dream on!"

"Tiangong's technology can withstand any test! The Pangu II is a new benchmark for domestically produced Chinese character card technology!"

Thunderous applause instantly swept through the entire auditorium!

Enduring!

The people from Chaohui Electronics slunk away in disgrace.

Reporters frantically documented this dramatic turn of events!

Tiangong not only withstood the hidden attacks of patents.

Amidst the covetousness of capital and the slander of competitors, they shattered all doubts with a hardcore technology show.
