Chapter 1052: The Lion or the Hunter

Since the end of the International Conference on Integrated Circuit Design and Technology, the entire semiconductor industry around the world has been at a stormy pace.

Carbon-based chip technology breakthroughs!

Traditional silicon-based chips or will completely exit the stage of history!

Intel, Qualcomm, and countless semiconductor executives spent the entire weekend in disquiet, scared of a new week and losing their jobs because of layoffs.

At this point, however, a sudden “good news” has relieved many people.

The paper on carbon-based integrated circuit technology was withdrawn by IEEE.

And the reason is to make up experimental data!

This allegation can be said to be quite serious.

Although a lot of people find this strange, there are only a few people who doubt the truth.

Especially for meetings that are authoritative in the industry, such as the IEEE summit, the credibility is still strong. The vast majority of practitioners in this industry, the first source of information in the industry, are searching through the literature database. IEEE's top-of-the-line conferences in all areas are the focus of their tracking of the latest results.

Even IEEE thinks the technology is unreliable, so I guess it's true.

After all, they were clearly more willing to believe IEEE than a Warwick Hayes in the district.

Almost the first time that the "carbon-based chip” paper was withdrawn, the discussion on the topic on Facebook became lively.

[... I already said that carbon based chip is a balloon that has been blown to the sky, including Intel, Qualcomm and AMD. So many excellent semiconductor companies around the world have not made any progress in studying this thing. Instead, a chip design company suddenly jumped out and yelled at the future to lead the industry. Can you believe it?

[The Chinese move this thing to IEEE is an insult to academic honesty! I think it's necessary to find out who wrote that paper.

But why would they do that? Knowing that we only need to give it a try, we can uncover their lies.

[Ghost knows? Aren't those Chinese favorites blackmail? Perhaps they want to get some special benefits from us to carry out their unspeakable evil plan.

[Hey, it seems that even Professor Lu will neglect...]

……

Intel Corporate Headquarters.

Whether it's a semi-open office or a public office area compartment, people are busy at the moment.

In such a highly competitive enterprise, a more or less sensitive sense of smell is fostered. If carbon-based chips really rocked the semiconductor industry for decades, shaking Intel's hegemony in the industry, it's obviously not going to take so many people here.

In order to be more important at this critical moment, and to make sure that it wasn't you who was being cut off, everyone was trying to make themselves look busier, whether or not they needed to deal with the hair.

Outside Maybury's office, there was a rush of footsteps.

Hearing a loud knock, Maybury, sitting at her desk reading the documents in her hand, frowned slightly and said.

“Come in. ”

“IEEE actually agreed to withdraw the draft,” knocking on the door and walking in from outside the office, a young assistant in his twenties, said in an incredible tone, "… it's incredible that IEEE's people speak so well. ”

Though IEEE was contacted by himself, he did not realize that this seemingly impossible task could not have been accomplished and was easily negotiated after he had spoken less than ten sentences.

However, compared to the unexpected and unbelievable look on the assistant's face, Maybury, after hearing the news, simply pushed down the glasses on the beam of his nose, without even much change in the expression on his face.

“It's not surprising that there are quite a few people in the association itself who are on our side, of course, at the crucial moment. Not to mention the pressure from both industry and the White House to withdraw the manuscript even if they were unwilling to do so. ”

When the second half of the sentence was heard, the deity on the assistant's face slightly moved the channel.

“... and the White House? ”

Maybury nodded and said.

“After all, this is about our hegemony, and in a sense, the White House is more urgent than we are. ”

NEVs are not the core industry in the United States, and they are held in the neck by a huge stick of controllable nuclear fusion. The White House may retreat after weighing the pros and cons at the expense of Tesla, a small fish that doesn't do much good.

But the White House will in no way make concessions on issues of central interest to the United States, such as semiconductors.

This involves more than tens of millions of jobs, and trillions of dollars in the market, but also the hegemony of the United States in the field of high-tech.

And it's not about the future, it's about the present.

Do you think China imports the most oil and food each year?

No, it's a chip!

Maybury knew very well that things had come to this point and that the White House could not turn a blind eye.

It doesn't matter if you're halfway behind on controllable fusion technology or even lose a space race, but if you lose a position in a semiconductor industry that's almost at the top of the entire high-tech industry chain, their loss is not just as simple as the financial statements of a few high-tech companies.

More likely will be the total collapse of the United States in the entire high-tech field. And that could lead to a chain reaction that none of them could afford.

In fact, a bleak spot in Nasdaq has heralded such a future in a sense.

After all, in capitalist and capitalist countries, the sense of smell is always the most sensitive. And something like this, in a sense, barely serves as a barometer for the economy.

So neither the White House nor the industry giants at the top of the industrial chain would have agreed to this.

Not quite understanding the optimistic look on Mr. Maybury's face, the assistant hesitated and said.

“But the Warwick Hayes product launch is still on schedule, so what if we take his paper off IEEE? ”

“Industry ecology, what do you mean by industry ecology, my dear assistant sir,” Maybury said patiently, "what do you think is more likely to happen when one single lion tries to enter another group of lion habitat hunting grounds? If they put away their claws and behaved softly, they might still be able to split one or two bones to survive, but now instead of doing so, they're grinning at us. ”

Speaking of which, Maybury laughed and turned the pen in her hand.

“I admit that what they come up with is strong and attractive to our partners downstream of the industrial chain, and I bet our CEO, Mr. Swan, will do whatever it takes, even if they are willing to back out and share their patents and technology. ”

“Sometimes, however, the competitiveness of product markets is determined not only by technology, but also by a range of issues, including compatibility and industry influence. Remember, we built this ecosystem from the beginning! ”

That's true, but Hayes with the carbon-based chip at the debrief was really just a lion?

As a member of the entire ecosystem, an alien lion can't really change anything, even if he's already at the top of the food chain, but that pride in front of his kind is nothing. We would be lucky not to be bitten to death if we were unable to integrate into this community that inhabits other beasts, not to mention the power of hunting.

But…

What if they're hunters with guns?

The assistant's face was still a little confused, but it was clear that Mr. Maybury did not intend to continue discussing the matter with him, leaving a signed document in his hands.

“These things will be handled by our Mr. Swan, and it will be enough for us to get the technology right. I'll give you the task of sending it to our R&D center and handing it over to the person in charge there. ”

“Carbon-based… integrated circuit project? ”

Looking at the astonished assistant, Maybury said concisely: “Now that they have proven this path to be workable, I'm sure we can. ”

After sending his assistant away, Maybury stretched a lazy waist on the office chair and took a sip of the coffee cup.

Ten minutes to lunch break.

After just finishing up the project on carbon chips, he decided to take a short break.

So he drinks his coffee and turns on his computer.

And just as he opened his browser and put his Facebook account up, a message from his peers came into his eyes.

Pupils contract instantly.

Almost as soon as he saw the news, he was barely on the coffee spray screen.
