Chapter 381 Preheating the New Flagship in Advance, Chen Xing Plans a Supercomputer
It is near the end of summer vacation, and the sun is scorching, with no sign of cooling down.
As some universities have already started classes, students from all over the country have also embarked on the road to study. Some may leave their hometowns for the first time and go to unknown cities.
Among all the universities in the country, Harbin Institute of Technology is one of the earliest to start classes. Due to the emergency expansion of 30% of students this year, the campus is also very lively, and there are many more volunteers.
"Campus card, campus card, are there any juniors who want to apply for a 5G super large traffic campus card? Come to us to apply for a campus card. The monthly rent is 19 yuan, and you can get 20G traffic. If you miss this village, there will be no such store!"
"Junior, your luggage is too heavy to move, right? Do you want to learn about the bodyweight fitness club?"
"Junior, have you ever been in love? Do you want to have a sweet love in college? Do you want to have a close contact with seniors? What! Want? AIDS propaganda volunteers remind you that if you don't wear it, you will feel good for a while, but you will get sick and die in the crematorium.
Promise seniors that you will never expose yourself to danger at any time, okay? In addition, with your ID card, you can get a free baby burp bag at the school's care self-service machine. It is not advisable to pursue zero distance. Only distance can create beauty!"
The club recruitment, phone card, and broadband application booths are full of the campus entrance, and AIDS volunteers shuttle among the students to promote the importance of wearing baby burp bags.
While these seniors were promoting the event, Longxing Group became the winner again, because the staff at the "Longxing Free Mobile Phone" booth had been surrounded by people three circles inside and three circles outside.
The prospective college students took out their admission letters, registered their reporting information, and could go to the dormitory with their luggage first. The mobile phones would be distributed uniformly by the school in the form of classes.
When Chen Xing said that he would give away mobile phones for free, it was not just talk.
Since Longxing mobile phones were really given away, the photos of the scene at Harbin Institute of Technology were also posted on the Internet by students. At this time, the entry "Harbin Institute of Technology Opening" was at the top of the hot search list, and the exact news of giving away mobile phones for free also attracted countless netizens to discuss.
[Night Dawn]: "No way! It's only August 25th, and HIT has already started school? My school starts on September 14th..."
[Love to Eat Dadao Meat]: "HIT starts school so early. Our Beihang University starts on August 29th. I'm looking forward to it even more."
[Dongci Daci]: "I got the Longxing mobile phone, family members. Let me make it clear in advance that I came to HIT not for this mere mobile phone, but to build the motherland!"
[Rice and Little Flowers]: "Is the C9 League not popular this year? I feel like everyone is applying for national defense colleges. I scored 20 points lower than the previous years and got into Hanwu University..."
When netizens were discussing the start of the school season, the official account of Longxing Group also came out to add fuel to the fire when the heat was at its highest, continuing to stir up the heat.
[Start of school season, ride the wind and waves! ]
Below the short blog content, there is also a blessing video, and the person in the video is not someone else, but Chen Xing himself.
Chen Xing in the video is sitting at his workstation, greeting the prospective college students.
"The school season has arrived. Perhaps many prospective college students are going out for the first time and are not used to the new environment, but life is like this. Every chapter needs to be conquered and written into your own story."
"Here, on behalf of Longxing Group, I would like to send my most sincere blessings to all prospective college students. I wish you can learn and apply what you have learned. We will also do our best to escort you."
"At the end of the video, I would like to quote a few words that may have been heard by everyone. That is, the construction of the motherland has not yet been successful. Comrades still need to work hard. Let us study for the rise of Longguo and contribute to the cause of the motherland!"
Chen Xing's tone in the video is sonorous and powerful. In less than five minutes, the number of likes exceeded 100,000, and the value rose rapidly over time.
Perhaps many people want to go to college just for a bachelor's degree, and then find a stable job to support their families.
But the original intention of more people to study is definitely not to work and make money.
The dream of becoming a scientist, policeman, firefighter, or teacher, which was not polluted by vulgarity, is the original pursuit in everyone's heart.
Chen Xing also cannot deny that the employment pressure is particularly high now, and academic qualifications have become the standard for measuring ability. Students are gradually beginning to have a tendency to roll up their academic qualifications. He can only do his best to provide a better training platform.
He has always believed that Longguo will one day take off the hat of a developing country and become a truly developed country.
Chen Xing's personal blessing also caused quite a stir, and many netizens in the "computer circle" began to fish in troubled waters.
[Purple Mood]: "We have received Mr. Chen's blessing. As a prospective college student, I want to ask when our new flagship phone will be released? It will be in the second half of the year!"
[Spicy Hot Spicy]: "Mr. Chen, don't believe the person above. Click on her homepage and she almost threw 36D in my mouth. She still said she is a prospective college student?"
[I Believe in Light]: "You are narrow-minded. What's wrong with her being a little older? Then again, Mr. Chen, you have to get the timing right. Once September arrives, it will be the second half of the year!"
Facing the urging of netizens, Chen Xing also saw it in his eyes and kept it in mind.
He has currently released five mobile phones, namely Longxing X1, Longxing X2, Longxing A1, Brilliant X1 and Geek X1.
In terms of price, these five mobile phones have already covered the upper, middle and lower markets, and they are all models that are invincible in the market.
But the only shortcoming is that except for the brilliant X1, which uses Carl Zeiss lenses and has no shortcomings on the whole, other models have more or less corresponding flaws.
There are only a few Longguo companies in the optical field, and they started relatively late. At the same time, there is still room for improvement in overall machine optimization. Therefore, Chen Xing does not insist on a "perfect mobile phone", but only requires that a certain point must be outstanding and can be used as a selling point.
Like the Longxing brand mobile phone, its price must be close to the people, and the main thing is that everyone can afford it.
Cuican is a business jet, which can be said to be the masterpiece of parts manufacturers from all over the world. The disadvantage is that it is easily cut off. To a certain extent, it is perfect.
Geeks mainly focus on gaming machines. Anyone who has been addicted to games knows that such users generally only focus on chip performance and have very little demand for photography and other functions.
It is not difficult to see that the three mobile phone brands released by Longxing Group have their own advantages and disadvantages. If we want to find a common shortcoming, it is that the shooting lenses are not localized and high-end. This is also the last piece that Chen Xing needs to make up for. Mobile field puzzle.
But it is worth mentioning that the optical laboratory of Longxing Group has made substantial progress, such as "Stacked CMOS Sensor", "HDR High Dynamic Range Technology", "PDAF Phase Detection Autofocus", "Silicon Through Hole Technology" 》, have applied for patents and are undergoing the approval process.
The "Tianxuan Operating System" and "Huaxia Chip", which belong to Longxing Group, have also entered the final stage. The latter has passed EDA simulation verification and is entrusting Loongson International to try to produce photomasks.
Once the photomask is completed, it means that chips can be mass-produced. Chen Xing is still looking forward to this chip, which is not 3 nanometers, but has performance that closely matches 3 nanometers, but he doesn't know if Pou Ke is looking forward to it.
Seeing that netizens kept leaving messages and urging for the press conference in a hurry, Chen Xing did not hide it. He replied under the comment with the most likes: "If everything goes well, the new flagship will be launched in late October or October." See you in early January, so stay tuned.”
The moment the reply to the comment appeared, the gaming circle was no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake. Lin Xiaolong, a millionaire blogger, left the post and left a message: "Is the new flagship really coming?"
In just an instant, thousands of netizens responded to Chen Xing's comments.
[Exploding cake]: "Oh, Mr. Chen personally confirmed the time. It seems that it is impossible to escape. Looking forward to the new flagship phone!"
[Sister with yellow hair]: "I hope it is a camera phone as the rumors say, and Apple and Korean mobile phones cannot be the dominant ones."
[Not Xiao Yueyue]: "Support Mr. Chen and that's it. But I want to ask, Tesla has already been tested on the road. When will our electric cars be put out for fun?"
In the face of constant questioning from netizens, Chen Xing also replied: "It's almost there, but the electronic control system still needs to be optimized."
Such a candid face-to-face reply not only flattered the netizens opposite, but also allowed many competitors to get inside information.
…
Dragon Kingdom Magic City.
Inside the Tesla Gigafactory.
Masik was sitting in his office, looking through the design drawings of the tram infrastructure in the Magic City area, looking a little sad.
Magic City is indeed a city where every inch of land is precious. Just to build charging stations in the urban area, he spent tens of billions on it.
More than half of the 40 billion loan has been consumed. Although Tesla has successfully started running, it still needs further testing of vehicle data before it is officially launched.
Because vehicles are no better than others, the submission and review of test data is extremely strict, which is also a protection for car owners.
"Dong dong——"
There was a sudden knock on the office door.
Masik's thoughts were interrupted and he looked in the direction of the office door.
Not a moment.
A white female executive with blond hair and blue eyes and choppy waves walked in and reported the situation:
"Excuse me, President, according to the latest news we have collected, the pilot cars of Longxing Group, Rice Company, and Kunpeng Company may have reached the stage of electronic control systems."
"Electronically controlled?"
Masik mused.
Electric cars are divided into three parts: battery, motor, and electronic control system. Its operating principle is also very simple. You can buy toy cars everywhere in toy stores for about ten yuan each.
Alkaline batteries are replaced with lithium batteries, motors are replaced with high-speed motors, and a power control system is added. This is an electric vehicle.
"How did you get the news?"
Masik asked.
If Pilot Auto really comes to this point, then it is estimated that the two companies will have a chance to compete in the second half of the year, or at the latest in December.
"Chen Xing replied to a netizen on Weibo." the female executive responded.
"Weibo?" Masik was stunned, and then smiled helplessly: "Did he reveal it to us specifically? Or does he really have the strength to do it without looking at the faces of his friends and businessmen?"
He couldn't figure it out.
Such internal secrets are said online?
Revealed on purpose?
He prefers the latter because he has received definite information that Longxing Group's solid-state batteries may be real.
If solid-state batteries are thrown away, other manufacturers will basically have nothing to play with.
Masik is also betting that Chen Xing does not have a solid-state battery, or that it is impossible to develop a truly pure solid-state battery within two years.
Now, not only Masik has received the news, SAIC Group CEO Chen Hong, BYD CEO Wang Fu, and CEOs of other Longguo automakers all know where Pilot Auto has gone.
Only the electronic control system is missing, which shows that the Longxing Group's car manufacturing progress is extremely close to completion, and comprehensive road testing may begin in less than two months.
There was Tesla in the past, and there was Vanguard in the future. Now there is a "tide of involution" in the automotive industry, and they can no longer just sit back and make money.
In the past, it was easier for domestic automobile manufacturers to make money than real estate.
For example, Brilliance Group only needs to sign a joint venture agreement with BMW Group to successfully enter the Longguo market.
It seems that 60 to 70% of the money earned will be given to the BMW Group, but in fact, the BMW Group will give 30 to 40% of the profits to the Brilliance Group. The reason is very simple. You can't build a car without it, let alone make a profit. Brilliance Longhua is example.
Not only Brilliance Group, many joint venture car companies actually have average car manufacturing capabilities, but they are just "joint ventures" that allow them to make money while lying down.
Now, who least wants electric vehicles to ban fuel vehicles, it is the weak car companies, because this affects their fundamental interests and they cannot make money as before.
But there is no way, the wheels of the times are rolling forward, even if they don't want to change, they can only adapt to the times.
…
After Chen Xing replied to several netizens' comments, he did not plan to continue surfing. One to two hours of surfing the Internet every day was enough for him to understand the latest trends and prepare sufficient response strategies.
"Dingle, ring, ring -"
suddenly.
The landline phone rings.
Because it was an internal call within the group, Chen Xing picked it up without hesitation and answered: "I'm Chen Xing, what's the matter?"
"President, you have a courier delivered to the guard post. We have checked it and it is a graphics card without a logo." The security captain told the reason for the call.
Graphics card without logo.
Chen Xing was overjoyed. Godson International must be more efficient.
Some time ago, NVIDIA founder Huang Renxun visited overnight and left the data hard drive of NVIDIA graphics card, and said that he would move the company back to the island from the United States.
After he left, Chen Xing handed the data hard drive to Gao Yongming, the boss of Loongson International, and asked him to copy the NVIDIA graphics card as quickly as possible. Less than two months later, the first copied NVIDIA graphics card was released. .
"Please make a trip and send it to my office."
"Okay CEO."
(I want to climb up step by step)
Just as the call was hung up, Chen Xing's cell phone placed on the table suddenly rang. It was Gao Yongming's call from Loongson International.
Chen Xing clicked to answer, and a cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Chen, have you received the graphics card?"
"As soon as I arrived, Brother Gao called me. It seems that you have been keeping an eye on the express orders." Chen Xing joked.
"Idle time is idle, how about it? Is the manufacturing speed here fast? I will have it manufactured for you in less than two months."
Gao Yongming chuckled.
With data hard drives, there is no technical barrier, and it will definitely be faster to manufacture. This is equivalent to an open-book exam...
No!
It should be said that I am doing winter vacation homework.
Anyone who has ever done a winter vacation homework book knows that there are standard answers on the last page. If you don’t copy even though you have the standard answers, then you really need to check your IQ.
Of course.
Chen Xing would not be so straightforward, but praised:
"The speed is very fast. I thought it would take at least half a year, but I didn't expect it to be built in less than two months. It is worthy of being one of the top five chip foundries in the world. I really have nothing to say about the background."
"Wherever, our foundry still has to rely on your upstream companies for food." Gao Yongming kept being modest.
Later, he boasted to each other in business: "Brother Chen, you are really confusing to me. You suddenly laid out a graphics card, and the performance of the graphics card is not inferior to that of NVIDIA and AMD. How did you do it?"
Sometimes he really couldn't figure out how Longxing Technology could complete its layout in the fields of chips, fast charging, and information communications in less than two years, and how the company could become a multinational group and become the giant that Longxing is today. Dominating technology companies.
"Well, let's keep it a secret for now." Chen Xing gave up.
Before NVIDIA returns to Treasure Island, the less people know about this, the better.
It's not that Chen Xingxin can't trust Gao Yongming, he is afraid of the technological methods of the United States. No one knows whether this call will be eavesdropped, so be cautious.
"Everyone has their own secrets. If you don't want to say it, let it go. But you said you want to mass-produce graphics cards. What are you going to do?"
Gao Yongming continued to ask.
Chen Xing did not hide anything this time, because he has told the world at the "5G Network International Conference" that Longxing Group will enter the field of artificial intelligence consisting of "big data + big computing power + big algorithms" in the future.
Big data is easy to understand, it is the derivative of high-speed network as matrix.
Large computing power is even more common. Anyone who has mined virtual currency knows that if you want to mine, you need to provide a lot of computing power, and the graphics card can provide sufficient computing power.
Why are graphics cards so scarce in recent years?
Very simple.
It was used to mine and make money.
A mining machine room actually means "big computing power". Only by using big computing power to mine can you make a lot of money.
However, Chen Xing’s structure is not that small, and he will not build a “large computing power” to mine Bitcoins.
The reason why he wants a large number of graphics cards is to build a supercomputer to provide a computing power basis for artificial intelligence.
When Gao Yongming asked, Chen Xing also expressed his thoughts.
After figuring out the ins and outs, Gao Yongming suddenly realized: "It turns out that the rumors are true. You are really working on artificial intelligence."
"Intelligent development."
Chen Xing smiled lightly.
The fact that he and Internet CEOs such as Xiao Ma, Jack Ma, and Zhou Hongwei founded Jiuzhou Intelligent Ai Company has long been hidden.
However, he didn't intend to hide it, because these could be checked.
Nowadays, many car companies, including Masik, do not realize that artificial intelligence is not an ideology they understand, but can be directly applied to daily life.
From mobile phones to mobile phones, they are becoming more and more intelligent.
The future belongs to "smart", whether it is mobile phones, cars, computers, or even TV furniture, they all need to be intelligent.
The interconnection of everything brought by the 5G network actually means intelligence, but everyone only thinks of the first layer, thinking that it only needs to be connected. In fact, the second layer is to become intelligent after being connected.
So how to achieve intelligence?
Very simple.
Layout artificial intelligence.
After Gao Yongming understood Chen Xing's thoughts, he explained his production plan: "Based on the current high-end graphics card production capacity, I estimate that we can provide up to 300 graphics cards per month. Do you think this value is enough? If it is not enough, I will Think of ways to expand production lines.”
For Loongson International, it doesn't want to go further. Now that the opportunity is before us, Gao Yongming definitely doesn't want to let it go.
"Three hundred is too few, add a zero." Chen Xing responded lightly.
"Three thousand?"
"Yeah, three thousand."
"Do you really need so many graphics cards?"
“The more the merrier.”
After a long silence, Gao Yongming nodded and responded: "I understand, thanks to you during this period, I made a little money, which can be used to expand the production line of graphics cards."
Longxing Group has opened up markets in Maoxiong, Japan, South Korea, and recently Southeast Asia, and has officially allowed domestic chips to leave the mainland of Longxing and move towards the world.
In addition to the vested interests of Longxing Group, the second and third beneficiaries are definitely Loongson International and other supply chain manufacturers.
This is like war. It is often arms dealers who get rich, and those who get rich are the suppliers who provide raw materials for the arms dealers.
Without suppliers, arms dealers would not be able to produce hand-made firearms.
After figuring out the demand of Longxing Group, Gao Yongming had no intention of chatting anymore. He hung up the phone and said, "Brother Chen, I will go and see how to expand production capacity first. When we have time, we will talk all night long." "
"OK."
Chen Xing smiled.
The two hung up the phone. As soon as Chen Xing turned off the screen, the girl at the front desk knocked on the door and walked into the office with a courier package.
"President, your express delivery."
"Leave it here."
Chen Xing nodded slightly.
After the girl at the front desk left the office and closed the door, he took out the graphics card inside and looked at it carefully.
From the appearance, a very common dual air-cooled graphics card weighs about 500 grams to 700 grams, which is more than a pound.
After a simple inspection, Chen Xing also personally replaced the graphics card on his office computer, which was not a difficult task for him.
After the installation is complete, running the NVIDIA graphics card driver has no obstacles in the whole process. Using Master Lu to run scores and identify the model, it shows that it is an NVIDIA graphics card.
After confirming that there was no problem with the graphics card, Chen Xing picked up the mobile phone on the desktop, rummaged through the address book and murmured: "It's time to build a supercomputer belonging to the Longxing Group. Who will give this task to?"
"Su Chen?"
"Forget it, he's a layman who doesn't understand."
"Gao Zhengqian?"
"No, Huaxia Chip still needs to be checked by him personally, and the workload cannot be increased."
"Lin Tian?"
"The expansion of the photolithography factory in the second and third phases has also been completed. He should have nothing to do recently. It's just him. It's just for him to check it."
After Chen Xing confirmed the candidate, he called Lin Tian and asked him to come to Longxing Base to discuss important matters.
Lin Tian acted very quickly. After hanging up the phone, he went straight to Longxing Base.
Just in case, in addition to calling Lin Tian, Chen Xing also sent a message to Qin Long, thinking of asking the Long Academy of Sciences to borrow academicians or professors in related fields.
The supercomputer project is not only a major project in the United States, but also a project promoted by countries around the world.
Computing power is of great scientific research value in today's era.
After receiving the news, Qin Long did not rush to reply to Chen Xing. Instead, he called the old chief to report Chen Xing's next move.
After hearing the news, the old chief took a breath of dry cigarette, exhaled the smoke heavily and said: "Building a supercomputer? It's interesting. After this kid has money, he can really do things."
