Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 393 Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Simulation

After the completion of this software and hardware upgrade, the computing speed of the supercomputer "Nave" has reached the order of billions. It is the undisputed supercomputer with the most powerful computing power in the world today.

This is confidential, and no one knows that human supercomputing has reached this level, and the outside world thinks that the North American "Puma" with a petabyte computing speed is the world's first.

After Xiaona ushered in this super-large update and optimization, her agent completed the transition from "intelligent perception" to "intelligent reasoning" for the first time. Although it is still limited by the hardware level, there are other technical links that cannot be developed, and the distance becomes "Strong artificial intelligence" still has a way to go, but this upgrade is undoubtedly a leap-forward.

What is the concept of the evolution of Xiaona’s agent from "intelligent perception" to "intelligent reasoning"?What does it mean?

It means that Xiaona has passed the Turing test. Luo Sheng did not perform the Turing test on Xiaona, but he knows that Xiaona has passed the test without any problems, because the upgrade of intelligent reasoning is an inevitable result.

However, the so-called Turing Test is not as magical as the rumors, and passing the Turing Test will not make Luo Sheng excited, unless... Xiaona deliberately fails the Turing Test, that's when Luo Sheng is excited. .

Because that will mean that Xiaona has the ability to "self-emotional logic analysis", and it also means that Xiaona's agent goes one step further from "intelligent reasoning" to the level of "causal logic", from perception, to reasoning, to Cognition, this is strong artificial intelligence.

To put it simply, the current Xiaona is no longer the "parrot" and incomprehensible Xiaona. Based on the deep learning algorithm and the support of billions of parameter data, Xiaona's ability to chat in the open field Reached more than 90% of the human level.

This means that the "smart tablet" AI technology link has been opened up, you can become the most versatile private teacher, and a wider range of application scenarios can be realized, such as unmanned driving, drones, medical diagnosis, etc. Many fields have been applied.

It is no exaggeration to say that the value of Xiaona alone is comparable to that of Bluestar Technology, Azure Coast, Xiongxin Electronics, Lens Semiconductor and Shengfeng Capital.

You must know that artificial intelligence is one of the key secrets to unlock the fourth wave of human science and technology revolution, and its status does not need to be said too much.

"Master, the database diagnosis is complete, and the backup information has been uploaded to your private server." Xiaona's exciting girl voice came into Luo Sheng's ears.

"Well, Xiaona, I will give you a task next to prepare 70% of the computing resources on standby." Luo Sheng said, and immediately applied a pressure on both legs to push the pulley chair to the console, and opened the two panels and started to fly quickly. input of.

Xiaona: "I am happy to serve you, what does the master want Xiaona to do?"

Luo Shengyan said concisely: "Simulate the system engineering of extreme ultraviolet lithography."

Peter Winnick, head of ASML, believes that Chinese people may be able to copy parts, but if they want to combine more than 80,000 parts into a high-end lithography machine that can operate normally, without the guidance of their systems engineering and software experts is equivalent to It's a bunch of useless scrap iron.

But he just mistakenly realized that in the area of ​​systems engineering and software, Luo Sheng is the easiest place to break through. Without him, Luo Sheng himself is a world-leading software expert, and Xiaona assists in systems engineering.

What's more, Luo Sheng still has precious memory information from the previous life, which is never comparable to ASML.

At this moment, Luo Sheng is inputting the information data of extreme ultraviolet lithography technology in his memory into the panel. Although it is a short fragment of information, the key point is that he knows that these information and data are really needed. No need to try and make mistakes if you use it.

Then, the next thing to do is actually very simple, that is, with the assistance of Xiaona, the use of huge computing resources for completion, through simulations and deductions again and again, a little closer to the truth, it can be said to be simple and crude. It’s just a cracking game.

It just takes time and cannot be done overnight.

When the full version of extreme ultraviolet lithography technology reserves are realized in the supercomputer simulation, it is equivalent to having 100% complete drawings, which means more than 70% success.

As soon as the solution is released, it is the transition from virtual to reality and it begins to enter the manufacturing process.

...

Before he knew it, Luo Sheng had already been here for two or three hours.

"How long are you going to stay in this cold computer room? Come here today, you have left me hanging for several hours."

Hearing his voice first, Luo Sheng, who has always focused on panel data, couldn’t help but turn his head to follow the prestige. He saw a cabinet not far away. Qin Weimu leaned on the cabinet lazily and hugged his hands. Looking at Luo Sheng with dissatisfaction eyes.

Qin Weimu can flow unimpeded anywhere in the science and technology complex, and Luo Sheng is so focused that she hasn't noticed it for several minutes since she came here.

"Emmm...is it cold? Why do I suddenly feel hot?"

Luo Sheng looked at him, grinned, and immediately put aside his work and got up to Qin Weimu's side.

Xiaona suddenly said, "Master, do you need to turn off the lights?"

Luo Sheng: "Shut up, hurry up and go to sleep, there is nothing for you here."

Xiaona: "Okay master, Xiaona understands, let's talk about it later."

After speaking, Xiaona's fascinating silent dormancy no longer responded.

Qin Weimu: "???"

Luo Sheng explained with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Xiaona has just completed a big upgrade, she understands a little bit of humanity, but she is still ignorant, don't worry about her."

...

The next morning, Luo Sheng came to work at the Blue Coast Company. Xiaona's performance after completing the upgrade made him very satisfied. There are no technical obstacles in this area, which can further promote the progress of the smart tablet.

CEO office.

"Come in."

Luo Sheng answered, and Yao Jianhong entered his office: "Mr. Luo, the company's annual report has come out."

Yao Jianhong handed a copy of the audit materials that he had brought to the desk, and Luo Sheng glanced at it and picked it up.

Compared with listed companies, the audit of this annual report by Côte d’Azur is a bit late. As a non-listed company, Côte d’Azur does not need to publish annual report data, but since last year, Côte d’Azur has actively disclosed part of the annual report to the outside world. , But the net profit margin is always kept secret.

In the past 2009, Côte d’Azur’s global sales revenue reached 315.08 billion yuan (approximately US$46.2 billion), of which operating profit margin was 19.2%, net profit was 43.1 billion yuan, and net profit margin was 13.7%.

As a high-value-added industry-monopoly technology company, the Cote d'Azur has almost monopolized more than 90% of the profits of the current smartphone industry. It stands to reason that the net interest rate should not be less than 15%.

The reason is that the company’s expenditure is an astronomical figure. The Côte d’Azur’s current investment in several major R&D projects, including [ACC], is at a high level, with a budget of tens of billions of dollars. Recently, a “smart In addition to the "flat-panel" project, there are huge labor costs.

The high welfare benefits of the Côte d’Azur are a huge expense, and the salary of 8 to 90 thousand employees is an astronomical figure.

From the perspective of expenditure structure, one-third of the company’s profits are used to provide benefits to all employees, one-third of the profits are used for R&D investment, and one-third of the profits are used for company development and operating cash flow precipitation. And share profits with the outside world.

Such a spending structure is an important factor for the Cote d'Azur to achieve such a great achievement today.

In the past year, the total shipments of Azure mobile phones of Côte d’Azur have reached more than 60 million units. In addition, it is the AOS ecosystem, plus after-sales service and edge businesses such as original headsets, chargers, and data cables. A dazzling annual report.

Benefiting from the construction of 3G in the mainland, in 2009, it achieved sales of 77.748 billion yuan (approximately US$11.4 billion) in the domestic market, becoming the third largest business market after North America and Europe, and the rate of increase is far greater Far higher than other single regional markets in the world.

A few minutes later, Luo Sheng had a rough overview and closed the file. Later, he had to go to the Blue Coast Laboratory and quickly fetched a pen to complete the signature and official seal. He looked at Yao Jianhong and said:

"Disclose to the outside world, except that the net profit, the amount of operating cash flow deposits and the specific R&D investment projects are not disclosed, the other content is announced."

If the Côte d’Azur is a listed company, these are the most important data, especially profits, which must be made public.

Of course, these data cannot be made public, otherwise the outside world will definitely analyze what specific big moves the Côte d'Azur is currently engaged in. Luo Sheng will not underestimate those overseas analysis institutions.
