Global monopoly of technology

Zhong Yuanhong's trip has been settled, but he is not in a hurry to leave, it is still Luo Sheng's long talk.

Because Zhong Yuanhong wanted to know more, and Luo Sheng didn't hide too much.

"As far as my family is concerned, the fourth industrial revolution is definitely not on the Internet, nor on the Internet of Things in a narrow sense." Luo Sheng is talking with him, and he once again recounted the Internet from the 1.0 era to 4.0 as predicted by the Developer Conference. The speech of the times.

And now, we are in the 2.0 era of the Internet, between the 3.0 era.

At the developer conference, Luo Sheng described the future as a data era where everything can be connected and everything is connected.

Now as Luo Sheng's aura is getting more and more dazzling, some of the speeches he shared before, especially some of his predictions, are now very marketable.

Many people even believe in this.

"Why are it in these five areas? First of all, new materials." Luo Sheng drank a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, and Zhong Yuanhong, who was sitting across from him, listened carefully. Today's meeting and conversation are also looking back. Reported by superiors.

After a while, Luo Sheng began to talk eloquently: “The new material is graphene or tinene. Let’s talk about graphene first. In 2004, two scientists at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom used a slightly special tape to divide the graphite sheet into one. Second, in the end, I got a sheet composed of only one layer of carbon atoms. This is the graphene material. It is very possible to tear off a Nobel Prize with a ticket of tape."

"This is an emerging electronic industry material with excellent technical performance and a wide range of applications. For example, as a battery application, a car can run for more than a thousand kilometers after charging for ten minutes, and it is the only way to replace silicon chips. Choice, this is my key investment and research field in the future."

When Luo Sheng said this, Zhong Yuanhong nodded and murmured: "Graphene, stene..."

And Luo Sheng continued: “However, although the prospects of graphene, a new material, are extremely attractive, the cost of preparing graphene with current technical means and industrial standards is too expensive to be diluted. Therefore, it is both in the market and economically. There is no competitiveness, but there is no doubt that at this time, the general trend of the future, if the cost of preparing graphene comes down one day, it will definitely replace silicon wafers."

Zhong Yuanhong has firmly remembered the term "graphene". He is neither a research institute nor a businessman. Although graphene has been discovered for five years, he did not know such a magical material before that.

In fact, we can also see the leopard from here. For now, the state's investment in scientific research is still stretched.

The side can also prove that the country is willing to spend 50 billion yuan to let Luo Sheng splurge. Although he has promised his three harsh conditions, this will not affect the country's high expectations for him.

After all, it's really not a small amount of money.

Next, Luo Sheng introduced the following four fields one by one, life genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, quantum technology and controllable nuclear fusion, all of which are simple and easy to understand.

As for the controllable nuclear fusion, which is "always 50 years away", Luo Sheng placed it in the last of the five fields and the most important one.

Because once this technology makes breakthrough progress, it will fundamentally overturn the current pattern of all mankind. It can be summed up in one sentence: whoever can master the controllable nuclear fusion technology first can become unshakable in this world. The boss.

Among the five major areas, Luo Sheng has actually begun to work quietly in the field of artificial intelligence, because this is the easiest to conceal. Once the other four areas are expanded, it is impossible to hold them, and they have breakthroughs. The progress will be exposed soon and will not be hidden for long.

But artificial intelligence can hide perfectly, and then quietly climb technology.

In addition to this level, another level is to test the existing industrial level of mankind, and the requirements for high-end equipment are very demanding.

Although artificial intelligence also requires advanced hardware indicators, compared to the other four fields, the requirements are really much lower. Among them, the hardware indicator of supercomputing, the core difficulty of supercomputing is actually not on the processor. The difficulty is how to deal with it. Architectural solutions coordinated by thousands of processors.

If the system architecture is not well designed, adding more processors will slow down the supercomputing power level.

...

As time passed, half an hour had passed unconsciously between Luo Sheng and Zhong Yuanhong.

At this moment, the two sides are communicating in a larger format. Some things that cannot be said blatantly to the outside world are also said at this moment. After all, they communicate privately, and the representatives of the exchanges are not comparable to ordinary people.

Now that Luo Sheng's career has reached this level, if the structure is still placed on the relationship between the enterprise and the profit level, it will basically come to an end.

"...How to put it, I think that China and the United States have their own advantages, and in the near future, our chances of winning will be greater than that of the United States, but the advantages of the United States are indeed overwhelming in general, and they are overwhelming worldwide. Sexual advantage." Luo Sheng said in a deep voice.

The current national strategy is very simple, dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and not seek hegemony. Once the world changes drastically, you can compete with the Central Plains.

Technology and industrial manufacturing are always the top priorities.

"The advantage of the United States lies in its unparalleled ability to innovate. In the past few years, Bluestar Technology has grown rapidly, and the development momentum of the Blue Coast is not weak. It is also good for these technology companies, but this is only a partial and isolated phenomenon, and must not be regarded as a phenomenon. Look at it as a general phenomenon." Luo Sheng looked at the other party and said seriously.

Zhong Yuanhong nodded in agreement with this, and couldn’t help sighing: “You’re right. In the past two to three decades, most of the world’s best high technology was provided by Americans, and the scope was expanded to include Europeans and Americans. A little bit bigger is Japan and other Western countries... In short, there is basically nothing wrong with our country. It sounds uncomfortable but it is an objective fact."

It is worth mentioning that although Japan is an Asian country, it is an Asian country in terms of geography, but it is a Western country in terms of the governance.

Zhong Yuanhong suddenly seemed to say to himself: "Why are Americans' innovative ability so unparalleled?"

Luo Sheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "This question can be summarized into three factors in my family. The first is that Americans have very good capital operations. Capital from all over the world will go to the United States. We attract investment and so on. It’s all arduous. Those capitals go to the U.S. and Silicon Valley to engage in venture capital. They are especially rich."

Zhong Yuanhong couldn't help but smile: "I am very deeply about the matter of being particularly rich, haha..."

Luo Sheng also couldn't help but laugh at each other. In Zhong Yuanhong's opinion, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, because the young man in front of him who was talking to him easily raised RMB 167.7 billion at a private dinner a few days ago. There is a huge amount of capital, and most of them are foreign capital, at least on the surface.

“It’s important to have money, so there are a lot of angel funds in Silicon Valley, and many messy projects are throwing money into it. There are many projects with more money, and the final results are definitely relatively large in absolute numbers. The technology is leading the world. It's inevitable."

Zhong Yuanhong nodded silently.

After a while, Luo Sheng still elaborated clearly: “Secondly, the United States has excellent talent gathering ability, rich money, and attractive values. Hollywood’s cultural output is in place and life is relatively easy. After all, the United States Per capita resources are much more abundant than ours, and it is rare that there are a large number of super high-rise buildings in the big cities on our side."

"There are very few high-rise buildings in big cities like Los Angeles, just a little bit in the city center. This series of reasons allows the United States to easily harvest talents from all over the world, and China has worked so hard to cultivate itself from a billion people. Talents, and some of them will be lost to the United States."

"In the end, we have to talk about Silicon Valley. The above two factors directly lead to the formation of the third factor, which is the success of Silicon Valley. There are money, projects, and people, and they are also more flexible. After all, it is private capital dominated, giving you a comparison of venture capital. It's easy, and Silicon Valley is more tolerant of failure than other places."

"For example, when you failed to start a business last time, investors saw that you were very focused, did not have any financial fraud, and had a very good character. If you failed, it doesn’t matter. If you fail, you will be given a sum of money to toss. The core personnel, some stocks, options, etc., form a set of positive and circular continuous development system."

"Of course, with the results, it needs to be able to become real commercial value in the market. From an economic point of view, if the best technology cannot be transformed into a product acceptable to consumers in the market, then all patents It is like a piece of waste paper. Your technology is of no value. It is not determined by an academician of an academy of sciences writing you a letter of recommendation, but by thousands of consumers."

Through such an exchange, Zhong Yuanhong seemed to have roughly guessed Luo Sheng's strategic layout, and the latter's subsequent words directly proved his guess.

"Silicon Valley is a very good model. It is very successful. This must be addressed and recognized." Luo Sheng gradually became serious and looked at Zhong Yuanhong: "Shengfeng Capital has now raised a huge amount of 237.7 billion yuan. My investment strategy The focus is to give priority to the research and development of semiconductors and new materials. This is the core expectation. It can produce short-term results. It can spread the net and take into account other fields. The specific operation is to benchmark the entire Silicon Valley model. Shengfeng Capital is a mini-Silicon Valley model."

Zhong Yuanhong couldn't help but blurted out in awe: "Good guy, this kind of handwork and courage is really rare. Comrade Luo Sheng is indeed a very extraordinary person."

Luo Sheng continued: "So I think that state-owned assets enter Shengfeng Capital. The three requirements I made are necessary. Even if Shengfeng Capital fails in the end, it will be a very precious'post-mortem report' for the country. At least the failure of ”can prove that the road is unworkable. It can avoid some detours and save a lot of resource costs, especially time costs. Of course, if it succeeds, it’s the best."

This sentence made Zhong Yuanhong look at him, and he couldn't help being a little in awe. Such words cannot be said by ordinary entrepreneurs or businessmen.In this case, it is a kind of national sentiment that dares to lead the world.

Regardless of whether Luo Sheng’s remarks came from the heart or deliberately, Zhong Yuanhong feels that this is no longer important, because one thing is indeed undeniable, that is, he is not only saying, but also using practical actions to practice. Row.

Thousands of words, no matter how gorgeous rhetoric, can't compare to actual actions.

Zhong Yuanhong concluded that once he went back to write the report this time, and handed it in, his superiors would definitely take it to the next level if he didn't accidentally pay attention to Luo Sheng.

Such a talent, with such a high national sentiment, it is really not easy to be able to produce such a person.
