Black tech predators

Chapter 84 Book me a plane ticket immediately, from California!
This news made her quite satisfied. In fact, she didn't have much hope for Tianqing Technology's technology blockade and embargo. For Huaguo's technology blockade, the more you lock the other party, the more powerful it is, so even if Tianqing Technology really solves the chip She is not surprised by the supply crisis of parts.

But what should be suppressed is not wrong.

In contrast, the head of Lockheed Martin is more looking forward to cracking the Tianqing exoskeleton, especially the superconducting battery energy storage device. She is more willing to pin her hopes on Vera Lopez, who is known as Young Talents of North American Science Stars.

No one knows better than the Americans themselves that mastering the core technology is more important than any moves.

Hampton, Virginia, MEAS Headquarters.

In the office of the CEO of MEAS, a greasy-looking middle-aged white man picked up his landline phone, dialed a number, and said in a loud voice: "Cock, book a ticket for me immediately, from California."

"Yes sir, I will do it at once."

After hanging up the phone, he said cursingly, "This gang of bloody greedy arms dealers, their profits have increased by hundreds of percent in the past few years, and they are still not satisfied."

In fact, this paper ban not only makes a large group of ICT industry related companies in Huaguo restless, but also semiconductor manufacturers in North America. This will cause North American semiconductor manufacturers to collectively lose a lot of profits, but If the decree faced by the North American authorities takes effect, it has to be followed and no longer supply any chips to Tianqing Technology.

Be it MEAS or Honeywell, these sensor chip manufacturers are very unhappy with it. It stands to reason that this should not be considered a big order. Previously, Tianqing Technology planned to purchase 200 million pieces from MEAS, and the amount of this order was only An order of less than 1400 million, or about 400 million if converted into U.S. dollars, is not unaffordable for a MEAS company with a market value of more than [-] billion U.S. dollars.

But this account cannot be calculated in this way. As the cutting-edge technology of modern technology, sensors are considered to be one of the three pillars of modern information technology, and they are also recognized as the most promising technology industry in the world.

Moreover, Tianqing Technology has come up with a procurement plan of more than 20 billion this time, including sensor chips, control chips, processor chips, and so on.

This paper ban not only cut off the financial resources of a semiconductor manufacturer in MEAS, but more than a dozen. When the pattern is placed in a trillion-dollar super emerging market, the entire North American Semiconductor Industry Association can't calm down.

The exoskeleton is the most terminal industry, and its future prospect is that it has infinite space for phenomena, and a series of application scenarios such as industry, travel, logistics, medical rehabilitation, military use, police use, etc.

The field of medical rehabilitation alone is a huge market of hundreds of billions of dollars. Each set of exoskeleton needs more than ten chips. Just imagine that in the future factory, workers will have a set of exoskeleton, logistics and police, etc. Wait, even if robots completely replace workers, what a huge market will this be?

When it was decided to impose sanctions on Tianqing Technology, the North American Semiconductor Industry Association almost unanimously opposed it, but its arms could not hold back its thighs. It is strange to say that as long as someone tells the old American congressmen, how can Huaguo on the other side of the Pacific be ahead? The United States has already threatened the United States so-and-so, and then those stingy congressmen will quickly agree.

So that Yingjiang was short of money and military expenditures, so he moved the rabbits out, and then the gentlemen of Congress willingly passed the budget and passed various bills.

The sanction against Tianqing Technology this time is the familiar routine, the original formula.

However, for semiconductor manufacturers in North America, it is not without opportunities to move back to the situation. Of course, it is still the same routine, but they will change their positions and let people on K Street persuade the White House.

After all, if the ban does not have actual effects, and even boosts the other party to take off, then it is still a baseball. Not to mention the loss of a large amount of profits for local semiconductor companies, it will also stimulate the rapid development of Huaguo's semiconductor industry.

……

At the same time, on Tianqing Technology's side, Gu Cheng did not work as salty fish as usual for three hours per working day in the following time. During this period, he worked frequently overtime and worked diligently for five hours per working day.

Lead the development team of Tianqing Technology to further optimize and upgrade the exoskeleton control system, and choose domestic semiconductor manufacturers to supply. It can be said that only Hisilicon Semiconductor is not behind. Si has no generation difference with American chips.

In the short term, Gu Cheng does not expect them to be able to catch up with the Premier League and the United States in a short period of time, but he will not be a good person to help them improve technology in the chip field.

As an ICT product, there are two ways to improve the performance. One is to continuously upgrade the hardware level. To put it bluntly, it is chip integration to improve the efficiency of logic operations; the other is to upgrade the software level and optimize algorithm upgrades.

In fact, the development of software is weaker than the development of hardware, because the chip industry has a "Moore's Law", and the performance of the chip will make a qualitative leap every two years or so. Now an ordinary smart phone, its computing power level can Completely exploded the Apollo moon landing spacecraft in the last century.

On the contrary, the software is a piece of salty fish, and there is not much motivation for developing high-quality algorithms. It is just waiting for the computing power of the next generation of chips to take off, and then just follow suit.

If the software and hardware maintain a synchronous leap every two years as a whole, maybe today's smartphones can be compared to a supercomputer.

The hardware industry module is not expected to be completed overnight, but it is different in the software industry module. For other developers, the development difficulty is no less than hardware development, but for Gu Cheng, it is as simple as counting one, two, three , as if directly copied from Tianqing's core knowledge inheritance.

If the advantages of software are further utilized, even if domestic semiconductor chips lag behind North American high-end chips, they can still meet the performance requirements for mechanical exoskeletons.
