My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 1022 - 595: Foundational Technology

Hey, hey! Are we entering the clinical stage already? Shouldn’t we be more cautious?

In my heart, I was screaming at myself to go up and expose that fraud, but outwardly, I maintained a calm smile and joined the crowd in clapping and congratulating.

It was only when the company’s top executives gathered around to inspect the product that Professor Zheng quietly pulled Sun Bin, the deputy director credited with the "Neural Junction Technology Breakthrough," aside.

"Old Sun, be honest with me, how much of your PPT is fluff?"

Sun Bin, knowing what Professor Zheng was insinuating, sported a peculiar expression.

"Old Zheng, then you tell me, how much fluff is in the efficacy of your Car-T therapy?"

They exchanged glances and... understood!

So you are also...

"I thought even if you were extravagant, you wouldn’t exaggerate product data in front of Chairman Gao."

"Ha! I also wondered why you’d become as flamboyant as me lately, Old Zheng..."

They both smiled knowingly and didn’t continue the conversation.

After all, they had signed confidentiality agreements.

"Recently, I always feel like I’m getting old, completely out of touch with the times."

"I’m the opposite; I feel like I’m getting younger. Back then, I would speak my mind..."

"Haha! And now?"

"Now, it feels like a hero has nowhere to use his skills since... our stuff is already quite exaggerated without modifiers..."

Professor Zheng felt like laughing but was more curious about the source of the technology as the company had made astounding progress in yet another new field.

Alzheimer’s, virology, genetic biology, and now even breakthroughs in neurobiology...

The technical team behind Chairman Gao is truly flamboyant...

...

Across the ocean, at CIA Headquarters.

"Director, after evaluation by our experts, this ’Alpha’ light chip incorporates numerous innovative optical integration technologies.

Including 3D photonic interconnects and optical waveguide coupling...

It also displays exceptionally low optical loss and efficient electro-optical conversion characteristics, capable of creating large chip complexes within a single package.

Its unique architecture ensures optical low energy consumption while maintaining compatibility and interoperability with other traditional electronic chips, an absolutely ingenious design..."

Director Naji seemed unimpressed with the string of technical jargon.

"Alright! We spent resources to get some samples from Country Hua for evaluation, not to praise the genius of its design!

Tell me about its actual performance, manufacturing process, and most importantly, whether we have a way to hinder its mass production through patent or technology blockades!"

After a moment’s hesitation, the assistant continued.

"Based on testing several samples, its computing performance can essentially reach about 80% of current 7-nanometer chip products, but with only one percent of the power consumption...

Moreover, in terms of raw materials, equipment, or processes, the production line for this light chip doesn’t require high-end processes like EUV. The technical capabilities within Country Hua can completely manufacture it independently.

Patent blockades have virtually no effect on it..."

With each sentence, Director Naji’s expression grew darker.

When Country Hua was boasting its achievement, he still held a faint hope that it was another "water-into-oil" farce.

But when the real object was in front of him, the harsh reality quickly forced him to recognize the truth with no illusions.

Recently, he received more and more warning reports.

For instance, Baiyeji’s AI "Bajie 2.0" has improved its performance once again, causing a sensation in Southeast Asia and even Europa.

Despite now relying on the "TGO" alliance to mimic Bajie’s development of the similar product "Chat GG," they barely manage to fend off "Bajie 2.0," but the performance gap is visible.

Idol New Energy just released the "Bado" series cars, displaying intelligent self-driving levels far surpassing Tesla’s Mao Dou series in self-media road tests.

Experts judge it has indeed reached L4 level autonomous driving...

Baiyeji’s other project, the "Computation Power Supermarket" cloud computing center’s computation power leasing project, is rapidly conquering markets, capturing the attention of Bitcoin speculators worldwide.

The cloud computing businesses of Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and others among the top ten have already started feeling the impact...

Lastly, Hua Wei’s light chip has finally entered the formal production stage...

Each piece of news is worse than the last.

But if there is one thing that’s the worst and most concerning for Director Naji, it is undoubtedly Hua Wei’s Light Chip Technology!

Chips, cloud computing center, AI, autonomous driving...

These four items are not only the "root technologies" concerning future key technological dominance.

But also complement each other as a complete set of high-tech packages!

Chips determine the computation power center’s processing capabilities.

Processing capabilities determine AI’s model training and inference speed.

AI’s models and inference determine the intelligent level of autonomous driving.

And the intelligent level of autonomous driving serves as the bridge connecting the virtual network with the real world...

A monopoly over a single technology is akin to possessing just one piece of the set, the power of technological dominance might still be limited.

But if all four technologies are gathered, the combined power is equivalent to collecting a complete set of legendary equipment, an impact far greater than the sum of four ones.

Whoever controls these four technologies’ dominance can redefine the future of the internet, logistics network, and even the entire digitized world!

Originally, even if slightly lagging behind in AI and autonomous driving technologies.

Across the ocean, the technological foundation is solid, and the gap between the parties is within the realm of a few version updates.

But chip dominance is different!

It’s the hardware foundation for the development of all intelligent models.

As the saying goes, the underlying foundation determines the upper structure.

Chips undoubtedly belong to "root technology" within "root technology"!

Once chip dominance crumbles, given Country Hua’s industrial capability, it is unlikely we would regain it!

So in other aspects, the ocean across might turn a blind eye, but not for chips; it won’t allow any nation to challenge its monopoly position!

But now, the data in front of him unmistakably informed him.

The most threatening challenger has caught up once again...

Unexpectedly, all the black-hands, sinister tactics, and equipment blockades, which were supposed to prevent the opponent from overtaking, didn’t work as they suddenly changed tracks...

With a grim face, he waved off everyone else, leaving only the assistant. Director Naji glared sharply.

"How are our operatives arranged over in Country Hua?"

"Everything is ready; we can take action at any time!"

"Good! Remember, this time we have only two targets: take back everything we can, and destroy everything we can!"

"Understood! I understand, sir!"
