At this moment, Sakura Country.
In the meeting room, Saito just saw the text message from Berry Country and was furious!
The leader of Sakura Country was also furious, cursing: "This is taking advantage of others! 500 billion is still US dollars! The largest company in Berry Country is only [-] trillion yuan!"
This is a huge fee, and it is a bit low to describe it as a sky-high price.
The cost of designing a chip is actually very low, only about a few million dollars, or even lower.
However, Berry Country's price for the Horse-Ridge cryogenic control chip is 500 billion.
This is tantamount to stealing money!
Saito Tsuyoshi looked stern, and said coldly: "Ho"se.Ridge low-temperature control chip can operate at extremely low temperatures, and its internal structure will not be damaged even at absolute zero..."
"Your Excellency, we have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, and we have no choice!"
The leader of the Sakura Kingdom was furious, and said: "What they sell is just the design of the chip!"
The cost of the chip is not just as simple as the design.
The hardware cost alone includes chip cost, test vehicle cost, packaging cost and mask cost!
Wafer cost can be understood as the cost of materials used in each chip, that is, silicon wafers.
Packaging is to stack the substrate, core, and heat sink together to form the CPU at the core of the computer. The packaging cost is the funds required for this process.
Testing costs are negligible.
Mask cost...is the most important thing. At the beginning of the advanced process technology, the chip mask cost of the [-]nm process was [-] million US dollars, and the [-]nm process required more than one billion US dollars.
Moreover, Berry Country only provides chip design, and the manufacturing of chips also requires lithography, etching, ion implantation, metal deposition, metal layer, interconnection, wafer testing and cutting, core packaging, level testing, etc., and it is matched with Manufacturing equipment such as lithography machine, etching machine, thinning machine, dicing machine, chip loading machine, wire bonding machine, flip chipping machine, etc.
Berry Country's Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip must have some slight differences in some manufacturing equipment, and this requires more advanced equipment.
A lithography machine is worth one billion dollars, and an etching machine and thinning machine are worth several million dollars.
If you want to sell the Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip, 500 billion US dollars is just a stepping stone, and the subsequent hidden costs may double.
"Your Excellency, we have to buy it!"
Saito said indisputably.
"Now.....it's not about business, it's a time when the lives of the people of Sakura Country are at stake, and it's also a moment of life and death for Sakura Country... 500 billion yuan is not bought for chip design, but for the fate of our country !" The train around the country, without a computer capable of operating in the extreme cold, has come to an impasse.
Although the entire territory of Sakura Country is still advancing in an orderly manner, the design of the orbital train track, as well as the research on the car body, carriage and train structure, etc.,
However, the lack of an extremely cold-resistant central control system and an extremely cold computer has always been a cloud hanging over everyone's heads.
The price of the Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip given by Berry Country is outrageous, but it is exactly what Cherry Blossom Country needs! !
"Call Berry Nation, $500 billion, we bought it."
Saito just looked at the commander of the Sakura country, bowed and said: "Your Excellency, please consider for the [-] million citizens of the Sakura country! The round-the-country train is imminent!"
The leader of Sakura Country was still hesitating, and said: "What I am worried about is not just the price of this chip design. It is...even if we get this chip from Berry Country, we can really produce a chip that is extremely expensive. Is the computer running under the cold?"
Saito just paused, and said, "We're not sure, but Berry Country's Horse-Ridge cryogenic control chip is the most important part of the computer."
"With this chip, we can start the development and design of extremely cold computers!"
The leader of the Sakura Kingdom looked shrewd, nodded and said: II And then, the beginning, what's next? "
"Computers, involving digital electronic technology, microcomputer principles, single-chip microcomputers, and FPGA development technology, etc., can't be made by relying on a single chip!"
Saito was silent.
This question stopped him.
He raised his head and looked at the people in the cabinet. They also looked at a loss. They seemed to be full of confusion and uncertainty about the future of the train around the country.
Saito just suddenly realized something.
They were all... too anxious, too scared!
As a result, only one straw fell, whether it was a life-saving straw or not, they wanted to grab it firmly!
"Think again, whether we want this chip or not." The commander of the Sakura Kingdom issued an order and said.
While Sakura Country was wondering whether to pay 500 billion US dollars for the Horse-Ridge cryogenic control chip, Berry Country had already received a reply from Dragon Country.
Yoder, Ain, Stefan and the others waited confidently, but when they saw the content of the reply letter, they were stunned for more than ten seconds. "Don't need our chip?" Yoder was shocked.
Ain also felt unbelievable, and said: "Could it be that the Dragon Kingdom has found a substitute for the central system of the nuclear-powered train?"
Stefan shook his head and said, "How can it be replaced, unless they have developed a computer that can operate in extreme cold!"
There was admiration in Ain's eyes, and he said, "What's impossible?"
"Have you forgotten what they did when we imposed a nuclear blockade on Dragon Country?"
"Their scientists, mathematicians, and physicists, on the vast Gobi Desert, used the abacus to knock out a lot of data that is difficult for our computers to calculate!!"
"They forcefully use manpower to make up for the lack of technological capabilities!"
"If they decide to use manpower to replace the huge calculations of the computer, and use people to replace each link, I am willing to believe it!"
The crowd was silent.
This is a miracle that only the Dragon Kingdom can do.
"Dragon Kingdom regrets this. Our Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip is the only chip in the world that can operate in absolute zero. Without this thing, in the era of extreme cold, the trains of Dragon Kingdom will be bloated and heavy!"
Stefan said.
Their Intel R&D team put in so much hard work, and Longguo didn't appreciate it!
Yoder said: "In this case, let Sakura Kingdom pay more."
"Long Guo is unwilling to pay the bill, so raise the price, 3000 billion!"
Ain and Stefan looked over in surprise.
As expected of a businessman!
Half an hour later, the second text message from Berry Country was sent to the cabinet of Sakura Country.
"3000 billion?!"
The leader of Sakura Country was completely angry, "Greedy, these businessmen in Berry Country don't even want face?"
The congressmen are also extremely angry at the moment!
There are too many things related to this chip.
However, Berry Country is stubbornly stuck in the technology of the Ho"se.Ridge low-temperature control chip. If you want to get the design, the minimum cost you pay is already 3000 billion U.S. dollars!
What can this price do?
The round-the-country train can be extended for several kilometers, and the round-the-country train can save 10,000+ people!
However, at this moment, Saito just spoke.
He slammed the table and said, "As far as I know, the only country in the world to announce the manufacture of nuclear-powered trains is Sakura Country and Dragon Country."
"Berry Country may also develop its own nuclear-powered trains, but they don't need an extremely cold computer because of the warmth of the Snow Fortress!"
"But Berry Country turned back and raised the price on the ground. In just half an hour, it doubled the purchase price!"
"So I guess, Longguo has rejected Berryguo's price."
"Yode, the leader of the Berry Country, was born as a businessman. His greedy nature made him unwilling to suffer losses, so he doubled our price!" Everyone was silent.
They also had such speculations in their hearts.
Saito just patted the table and said, "Your Excellency, we are all in a hurry!"
"Why don't you stop and think slowly!"
"We have made so many decisions, but we have never had any major problems. The most important reason is that we will always follow Long Guo and watch their steps!"
"Since Longguo doesn't worry about the central system of nuclear-powered trains at all, we also need to calm down! They must have a better solution, a more perfect solution than the Ho"se-Ridge low-temperature control chip!"
Saito has completely calmed down.
Even if you get the design of the Ho"se.Ridge low-temperature control chip, the manufacturing of the chip is the most expensive part.
Once they bought the design of the Ho"se.Ridge low-temperature control chip, they had to purchase a series of manufacturing equipment from Berry Country, and then Berry Country could increase the price endlessly!
"A greedy devil like Berry Country, once it starts, it won't stop (it's good), we... can't buy it!" Saito said resolutely, contrary to his previous attitude.
"We are waiting for news from Dragon Kingdom!"
"Your Excellency, colleagues, from now on, let go of the attachment to the central control system and the extreme cold computer, and we have the right to develop a round-the-country train!"
Just a few words from Saito made everyone see the true face of Berry Country.
The members of the council suddenly burst into a cold sweat.
Yes, once they buy the Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip worth 3000 billion, then the lithography machines in Berry Country will change from one billion to 100 billion, 1000 billion.
In order to stop losses and not waste 3000 billion Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chips, Sakura Country had to accept this outrageous price non-stop.
That would drain the treasury of Sakura Country!
"Even if we don't have a central system and use the most primitive human calculation to drive, we... can't fall into the trap of Berry Country!!"
Saito clenched his fist tightly and said through gritted teeth.
He looked far away to the east, the country where the giant dragon took off.
At this moment, countless high-level officials of the Sakura Country hope that that country can be born out of nowhere to save the Sakura Country, which is besieged by the Berry Country and tightly restricted by the central system of the ring-country train...
The global situation is changing drastically.
People from different countries are all worried about the Little Ice Age in more than a month.
The order in the small country is almost out of control. In some places, serious protests have even occurred, and the incidence of criminal cases has risen sharply.
And the most humorous thing is that at a time of global turmoil, a new faction has emerged.
"Xu Shenpai"
No one knows where this sect originated,
No one knows when this faction started and how it spread.
However, in just a few days, the "Xu Shen faction" has lurked into various countries and has developed a large number of faction personnel.
