Trigger warning: Xenophobia
Zhuang Li slowly changed the slides and continued, “So, what I’m going to discuss next is the chip manufacturing technology that completely replaces the photolithography machine.”
Everyone in despair: “!!!”
Young Master Gu scratched his ears, seriously suspecting that he was hallucinating. China couldn’t even buy a photolithography machine with 1 billion yuan, and this man actually said that he wanted to completely replace the photolithography machine? Was he crazy?
Xuan Ming held his forehead silently, feeling more and more familiar with this scene.
Zhuang Li pointed to a chip design on the slide and said slowly, “You all should know that Moore’s Law predicts that silicon chip technology will end working one day, and this time point is getting closer and closer to us.”
“At present, China’s lithography machines can produce 2-nanometer chips, but this is already the limit. Chips with smaller scales will lead to the emergence of quantum tunneling effects, so that the chips frequently make errors in the process of processing data.
“So, I will use a brand new chip-making material – carbon nanotransistors. Like silicon nanotransistors, they can grow on their own, but their density and volume are much smaller than silicon transistors, allowing us to maintain Moore’s Law indefinitely.”
“More importantly, during the growth of carbon nanotube transistors, I will prepare a chemical agent to corrode and destroy those transistors that grow incorrectly, and promote the correct growth of other transistors, and finally get a complete chip in the test tube. This process is called ‘constructive destruction’, and its working efficiency is far higher than the most advanced lithography machine currently available.”
Xuan Ming and Young Master Gu were completely confused.
The technical staff who knew the business were all horrified.
At this point, they had to mention the operating mechanism of the lithography machine. It was equivalent to a SLR camera, which could reproduce extremely complex chip designs on small and thin silicon chips. A silicon chip often had 10 billion nano-transistor circuits, and the correct etching of so many transistors depended on the precise calculation of the lithography machine.
How difficult was its work?
For example, two large airplanes were moving side by side from takeoff to landing. One of the airplanes extended a knife and carved words on the rice grains of the other airplane. How many words were there? Not just one or two, but billions or tens of billions. Not a single stroke could be wrong, otherwise they would have to start all over again!
Therefore, hl talents say that even if the design drawings of the lithography machine were given to the Chinese for free, the Chinese would not be able to make it.
However, the concept of “constructive destruction” proposed by Zhuang Li did not utilize physical etching technology, but chemical erosion technology.
The corrosive chemical liquid molecules could replace the energy of the light source and perform precise operations. It did not need to correctly connect billions of nano-transistors, but only needed to destroy the transistors that grew incorrectly.
How difficult was this job?
For example, if you are planting rice in a field, and some of the seedlings are sick and cannot survive, you don’t need to think about how to save the seedlings, you can just throw them on the edge of the field.
When using a photolithography machine to make chips, the entire workflow could not have the slightest error, otherwise the process would have to be overturned and started over again, resulting in a huge waste of silicon wafers.
For chips made of chemical liquid, it didn’t matter if they were wrong. They could just destroy the transistors that were not connected correctly and then trigger the growth of other transistors. It would make the most of the self-growth characteristics of carbon nanotube transistors, did not waste raw materials, and saved much more manufacturing costs than silicon chips.
Zhuang Li pointed to the slide and said confidently: “With this technology, in the near future, we will be able to produce large quantities of carbon nanochips through chemical test tubes, and the capital investment is much less than that of photolithography machines. We will soon be able to build large-scale factories and popularize them nationwide. The US chip blocking plan will surely fail.”
Everyone carefully deduced the chemical equations and chip manufacturing principles on the slides, with hot blood surging in their veins.
If China could abandon lithography technology and mass-produce carbon nanochips that were more advanced and cheaper than silicon chips, China’s 5g network would surely be ahead of the world!
What about strangulation and trade war? To hell with it!
The atmosphere in the conference room was warmer than ever before.
There was thunderous applause from the audience. Several veteran generals walked quickly to the front of the stage and looked up at the slides, with looks of ecstasy on their faces.
Zhuang Li said slowly: “With these two technologies, our country’s 5G network can be built within three years, but as you all know, the United States is already clamoring to build 6G, which is the so-called Skyscraper Project.”
“That’s right. The Mars Group has launched more than 10,000 satellites to form a star link in the sky, saying they want to build a 6G network.” Young Master Gu raised his hand and said.
“The 6G network in the United States is just a gimmick.” Zhuang Li smiled nonchalantly, “The only criterion for judging whether a communication technology is reliable is whether it can transmit more information with less energy.”
“The radio bandwidth consumed by satellites to establish signal transmission with the ground is twice that of ground base stations, and the bidding price for a 60 MHz bandwidth is as high as $20 billion.”
“You can calculate how many dollars Mars is wasting by paying twice the price to get bandwidth that can be obtained on the ground at half the price. Moreover, 10,000 satellites can only provide a few million of the 4G mobile communication volume.
“That is to say, the working efficiency of the more than 10,000 Starlink satellites in the United States is far inferior to that of the terrestrial 4G network, let alone the 5G network.
“As far as I know, the only advantage of the Skyscraper network over the 5G network is that it can cover uninhabited deserts or tropical rainforests through high-altitude signal transmission. This is a technology that costs a lot of money but has little effect.”
“Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the door. The Skyscraper Project does look exciting, and the rockets that can be recycled many times and the star network composed of tens of thousands of satellites do have a high technological content, but its communication efficiency is completely unable to reach the level of 6G network. Moreover, if these more than 10,000 satellites fail and cause network interruption, how can they be repaired? How to deal with it?”
“Satellites have no ground power supply stations. They run on limited battery reserves and solar panels, which result in very limited transmission power. The amount of information transmitted on the ground is increasing every year. How can satellites keep up with the needs of the growing communications market?”
“So I dare to conclude that the U.S.’s Skyscraper Project is not a mature technology. Concealing an immature scientific technology is an industry practice. When a company breaks the practice and promotes and hypes it up, you should think carefully about whether there is an ulterior motive behind it.”
Zhuang Li looked around at everyone and said meaningfully.
Young Master Gu’s expression changed slightly, and he said firmly, “Teacher Zhuang, are you saying that Mars Company’s Skyscraper Project is actually a military strategy?”
“When our entire Earth is surrounded by American satellites, these satellites can detect any corner of the Earth’s surface and learn any secrets. More importantly, they have pre-occupied so many satellite orbits in space that other countries may not even have a place to launch satellites.
“This is the consistent hegemony of the United States. They lie, they cheat, they steal, and they are proud of it.” Zhuang Li pointed above his head and smiled sarcastically.
“Teacher Zhuang, how should our country respond?” an old general raised his hand and asked.
“Picking stars.” Zhuang Li changed to another picture and said casually, “This is the satellite jammer I invented. With the three-dimensional stealth cover, it can be moved to any piece of land and disrupt satellites in any part of the sky. The United States will not even know how their surveillance network failed.”
“After taking down the US satellite, we also want to build our own satellite network. This is the design drawing of the quantum satellite. With it, China’s communication technology will leap to the top of the world. No country can crack our communication code, and the powerful detection capability of the quantum satellite will make the communication codes of other countries meaningless. Can you imagine what the world will be like when other countries have no secrets from us?”
After a brief thought, the old generals even forgot to breathe.
The others were blushing and could hardly contain their excitement.
With quantum satellites, the world would become completely transparent, and China, hiding in the dark, could simply reach out and get all the secrets it wanted, including other countries’ military deployments, financial development, city panoramas, and the most advanced science and technological inventions.
There was silence in the room, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on the satellite design on the slide.
Zhuang Li replaced the picture with a new one: “Of course, if we can interfere with other countries’ satellites, then other countries can also interfere with ours, so we also need to build a network that will not be interfered with at all. This is the quantum signal receiver I invented. It is only the size of a palm and can be carried with you. It is like a smaller version of wireless WiFi. As long as it establishes coherence with another quantum signal receiver, it can form a zero-delay network.”
“That is to say, with it, the future network will not need optical fiber, cables, or base stations. All it will need is for everyone to carry such a small device. Even if the enemy paralyzes our wired or wireless network and interferes with our satellite signals, every Chinese can form a huge network by themselves. This is my concept of 6G network.
“I think you all have not forgotten that when the Wenchuan earthquake occurred, the United States shut down our GPS service, resulting in the deaths of 18 of our soldiers in the disaster relief work; nor must you have forgotten that our cargo ship was stopped from using navigation by the Americans, and we drifted alone on the sea for several months.”
“With this signal receiver, such a tragedy will never happen again. Every person in our country is no longer an isolated island, but a giant ship closely connected together.”
“In the future, when the flexible chip is successfully developed, I can also make this quantum signal receiver smaller and implant it into every Chinese person in the form of a nanochip.”
“By then, our entire race will be a big network, and everyone will be a quantum computer. No country will be able to spy on our secrets, interfere with our communications, or hinder our development. We Chinese will become a super race. This is the concept of the 7G network.”
Zhuang Li turned around, tapped the board, and said slowly, “Now you understand why I connected these three numbers, right?”
Everyone looked up at the words 5g-6g-7g connected together, and a raging fire ignited in their hearts.
It turned out this was not a joke at all, but a future that would soon be realized.
With such an efficient, secure network that could spread to every corner of the world, China would soon surpass the United States and become the world’s number one power.
Driverless cars, drones, drone tanks, drone submarines, and even armies of robots would all be produced, and every person in China would have the same advanced capabilities as computers.
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
Several old generals clapped their hands and their eyes were wet with tears.
God really favored China to let them discover a super genius like Zhuang Li at a time when the world was about to undergo major changes!
China will prosper and regain its former glory!
Zhuang Li raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then lightly stated his ultimate goal: “Therefore, I suggest that the government postpone the 5G network investment conference for two months, until my 5G chip is manufactured and is successfully tested. I am currently the director of the R&D department of Haiming Group, and I want Haiming Group to lead the development of 5G, 6G, and 7G networks.”
Technicians of Haiming Group: !!!
F**k you! Where did President Xuan find this god-like minister? Haiming Group has become prosperous this time! The top spot on the Fortune 500 list belongs to Haiming!
Xuan Ming: “…”
He just wanted to keep a curly-haired fox, why did things turn out like this?
7480: “…”
It dares to guarantee that the concept of implanting nanochips in the human body to form a network must have been learned by the host from the Lord God! Isn’t this quantum signal receiver a simplified version of the system?
If all Chinese people in the future were implanted with such a chip with a huge database and zero-delay network, they would surely become superhumans. Their memory, observation, hearing, vision, and learning abilities would far surpass those of people in other countries.
The host’s ambition was no less than that of the Lord God! Even if the observer came, it would be useless! By then, everyone would have a chip, and everyone would be a superman. It would be strange if he could find the host! It was impossible for him to kill all the people in China!
7480 hugged himself tightly and whispered, “Luckily, I didn’t do anything weird in this world, otherwise I would have been killed by the devil. Forget it, I’ll just lie down.”
