King of Technology: A Fresh Start in 1983

"We cannot stand idly by and wait to die!"

At the emergency meeting, Chen Jianghe's gaze was sharp as a knife: "We must launch a full-scale counterattack: first, a counter-offensive in public opinion!"

"Professor Zhou and Professor Li have once again initiated an academic initiative."

"The joint signatures have been expanded to include major engineering universities and research institutions in China."

"This incident has been elevated to the level of 'foreign capital maliciously targeting national innovative brands'."

"In collaboration with the Economic Daily and the Workers' Daily, we planned an in-depth report titled 'Pangu Trademark Dispute: The Story of a Port City Company and a Mainland Factory,' which denounced the injustice caused by legal differences."

"The second is to solidify the foundation and trace the origins: to fully explore and prove that the divine craftsman [Pangu] used it first, and to establish a widely recognized chain of key historical evidence!"

"Including the earliest newspaper articles, product launch videos, project cooperation agreements, and [Pangu] technical content!"

"Especially finding the core evidence that the name 'Pangu' was already in use during the product development stage!"

However, collecting evidence is extremely difficult.

Early GG publications were mostly printed in small print.

The press conference video was blurry and unclear, and most of the key evidence came from the actual sales stage of the product.

That period...

Who could have imagined that a few years later they would face an international lawsuit?

Just then, Su Wanqing arrived as promised once again.

She handed Chen Jianghe a brown paper bag directly.

On the cover, the word "Top Secret" is faintly visible, though it has been crossed out...

"Open it and see if you can use this."

Chen Jianghe opened it with a puzzled look.

Inside were several slightly yellowed, bound photocopies of technical reports.

The title of the report is:

"Codenamed Pangu - Feasibility Analysis of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) Architecture in the Early Stages of Adaptation to Domestic Platforms (Internal Discussion Draft)".

Date: January 1984, 4.

Report author: Su Wanqing.

The report repeatedly mentions "Pangu graphics rendering logic module" and "Pangu instruction set mapping scheme"...

The attachment page contains a blurry photo of the circuit board.

However, it is clearly labeled with the tag "【Pangu】Architecture Core Logic Test Board (First Generation)".

Its shape is almost identical to the earliest engineering prototype of the Pangu Type I project by Tiangong!

This is simply... nuclear-level evidence!

This proves that the name "Pangu" was already being used to refer to a similar technical architecture in a higher-level national project as early as the first half of 1984!

The subsequent naming of Tiangong was not a coincidence, but rather a continuation of the existing technical path code name!

Even more convincing is that this is a military-grade research institute with strict record management!

It was registered earlier than the trademark registration date of Gangcheng Pan-Asia Technology!

This is not only about prior use, but also about prior technological association!

"Engineer Su...this..."

Chen Jianghe's hands were trembling as he held the document!

He recalled what had happened more than three years ago…

Thinking back to earning my first pot of gold through ideas and courage...

I remember the day the investigation team entered the "Spark" project team...

Su Wanqing used a cooperation agreement signed between the Seventh Research Institute of Department D and the "Spark" project team to refute Sun Yuanchao's accusations of "speculation and profiteering," leaving him speechless...

This is yet another instance of Su Wanqing employing "extraordinary measures for extraordinary times"!

This evidence is crucial!

This "golden touch" came at just the right time!

It was a miraculous escape from a desperate situation!

At the most critical moment, Su Wanqing delivered a power that could turn the tide!

"The classified technical framework has been removed from the copy. If needed..."

Su Wanqing spoke calmly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter, "The project archives in Department D have complete records and certificates with official seals."

"I submitted a report requesting that Department D agree to use this legally obtained excerpt as evidence in Tiangong's lawsuit."

The Tiangong Law Firm team was so excited when they saw this document that they were practically going crazy!

Emergency procedures were immediately initiated!

At the same time, Zhou Yuguang also brought good news about the second tape-out: "Shanghai Components Factory No. 5 has notified us that the second tape-out, after parameter correction, has completed its initial testing!"

"The yield rate of the core driver parameters is estimated to exceed 90%! The final packaging and testing results will be available in ten days!"

The technical support provided by Su Wanqing precisely upheld the soul of the bus driver chip!

After receiving reports of success on two fronts, Su Wanqing did not leave immediately. She took a sip of tea in Chen Jianghe's office.

"Chief Engineer Zhang asked me to pass on a message."

She put down her teacup and looked directly at Chen Jianghe.

"A new phase of Project 'Spark' is about to begin. A new core is needed..."

"A powerful core unit that can truly support a distributed parallel processing platform."

She leaned forward slightly, her voice low and clear:

"The Galaxy Supercomputing Center in Division D urgently needs to achieve a breakthrough in single-point computing power density."

"We've got our eye on... Tiangong's new graphics coprocessor design concept based on the evolution of the Pangu architecture..."

"Furthermore, the soon-to-be-successful bus driver technology... will provide extremely high memory bandwidth efficiency and task scheduling capabilities..."

"At the end of the month, Eagle's Nest will hold a closed-door meeting. This time, the discussion will not only cover graphics processing."

"It's about... the core architecture direction of future parallel computing processing chips."

"Chief Engineer Zhang has called your name. Bring your latest design draft to the meeting."

Galaxy Supercomputing!

Parallel computing processing chip!

These words instantly pierced through the layers of gloom before Chen Jianghe's eyes!

This is a strategic invitation to the pinnacle of computing technology!

A more magnificent battlefield following "Spark"!

Su Wanqing's trip was not as simple as delivering evidence.

Instead, it is about finding the most resilient core that is most likely to unleash brilliant energy for the new "spark" that is about to ignite!

After Su Wanqing left, Chen Jianghe remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, the biting cold wind outside contained the energy of thunder.

The fierce competition in the southern market, Lin Jianye's capital noose, the shadow of trademark wars, the challenges of chip development...

At this moment, they all transformed into whetstones to hone the sharpness of nature's craftsmanship.

Ahead, the light of the [Galaxy] has already shone.

Tiangong is finally about to embark on a thorny journey for those who chase the light in the nation's most advanced technological arena!

Su Wanqing's last words weighed heavily on Chen Jianghe's heart.

[Galaxy Supercomputing Prototype], [Parallel Computing Processing Chip Core Architecture]...

Behind these words lies the pinnacle of contemporary Chinese computing technology!

This is a territory that the Tiangong technology team had never imagined!

He immediately convened a closed-door meeting with core team members Zhou Yuguang, Li Mingyuan, Zhang Wei, Zhao Lin, Wang Liping, and others.

"This meeting is of a very high level and has strict confidentiality requirements."

Chen Jianghe said solemnly, "Engineer Su only gave me one direction: the core processing unit of the distributed parallel processing platform needs extremely high memory bandwidth efficiency and task scheduling capability."

"Our Pangu architecture graphics coprocessor and bus driver technology may be the entry point."

He briefly conveyed the publicly available information and requirements regarding the [Galaxy Supercomputing] project mentioned by Su Wanqing…

The meeting room fell silent instantly!
