516: Chapter 511 Team Building Departure

After Xia Xue finished speaking, she said no more.

She stepped aside, leaving the stage entirely to Shen Yan.

She trusted her intuition.

But she couldn't make the decision for every single person on the team.

These people were all family she had brought back from all over the world, madmen willing to gamble everything with her.

She couldn't use her own judgment to hold their futures hostage.

Shen Yan had to conquer them personally.

Shen Yan's gaze swept over everyone present.

He didn't speak of grand visions, nor did he paint any unrealistic pictures of prosperity.

"I need a team to build top-tier chips for Huaguo within three years."

"You need funding, equipment, and an environment where you can work without distraction."

"I will provide everything you need, including the computing power of 'janus'."

"I only require results."

His words were simple, direct, like a sharp knife.

The scene fell silent.

Everyone present was stunned by Shen Yan's terms.

Unlimited budget support?

And the computing power of 'janus'?

This was a pipe dream to them.

"What are the conditions?" Old He broke the silence coldly.

His eyes seemed to be scrutinizing a fraud.

"Integrate into my company. All ownership of the 'Dawn' project belongs to the company," Shen Yan said.

"Heh." Old He laughed, his laughter full of disdain.

"In the end, you just want to turn our technology into your asset, right?"

"We are not dogs of capital."

Old He's words were heavy and very direct.

Several younger members of the team showed expressions of agreement.

They were all people of great pride.

Jiang Ye wanted to explain but was stopped by Xia Xue's look.

Shen Yan looked at Old He, showing no signs of anger at all.

"You were discussing the static power leakage issue of the FinFET architecture under the 5-nanometer process on the whiteboard, right?"

He suddenly spoke.

Old He's pupils contracted sharply.

Shen Yan didn't pause, walking straight to the huge whiteboard.

He picked up a black marker.

"You wanted to solve it by optimizing the material composition of the High-K metal gate; the direction is correct, but it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

"When the gate length shrinks to the critical point, the quantum tunneling effect is unavoidable."

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Every single person on the team subconsciously held their breath.

Shen Yan quickly drew a new architecture diagram in the blank space on the whiteboard.

It was a design they had never seen before, complex in structure yet incredibly exquisite.

"Why not jump out of the FinFET framework?"

"Use the GAA (Gate-All-Around) structure combined with 3D stacking technology to vertically integrate the logic units and memory units."

"This way, not only can leakage be controlled to the maximum extent, but the physical distance for data transmission can also be greatly shortened."

Shen Yan's pen tip moved across the whiteboard, leaving precise symbols and lines.

"As for the heat dissipation problem that troubles you the most, use a graphene heat dissipation layer for vertical conduction, and then use silicon photonics technology to replace traditional buses with photonic interconnects."

"This way, you can bypass the physical limits of Moore's Law."

The entire studio was deathly silent.

Only the 'swish' sound of the marker scratching the whiteboard remained.

Everyone present, including Xia Xue and Jiang Ye, was stunned.

It was as if a door to a new world had been opened for them.

Every concept, every technical term Shen Yan proposed, struck their hearts like a heavy hammer.

These were not fantasies.

This was a complete, rigorous, and theoretically completely feasible disruptive solution!

Old He's lips trembled slightly.

He looked at the brand new architecture diagram on the whiteboard, his eyes filled with shock and fervor.

He had studied semiconductors his entire life and had never imagined that chips could be designed this way!

"Photonic interconnects... the instantaneous computational volume required is too terrifying; it's impossible to complete in real-time..." Old He's voice was hoarse, sounding less like a challenge and more like a plea for understanding.

"'janus' can."

Shen Yan put down the pen and said lightly.

Those four words ended all doubts.

The red marker in Old He's hand dropped to the floor with a 'pat'.

He looked at Shen Yan as if he were looking at a monster.

This person was not a capitalist at all.

He was a true technological pioneer walking ahead of everyone else.

To measure him by money was simply an insult.

Old He bent down and picked up the pen from the floor.

When he straightened up again, he bowed deeply to Shen Yan.

"Mr. Shen, my name is He Lin."

"From today on, this old life is sold to you."

The matter was settled just like that.

No contract, no lawyers.

Just one bow and one promise.

Shen Yan took a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xia Xue.

The business card was pure black, printed with only a name and a phone number in gold foil lettering.

"Shen Yan."

"You can continue to work here. I will have people renovate this place, and the equipment will arrive tomorrow."

"Or you can move. Our company has an independent R&D center in Sea City."

Xia Xue took the business card and carefully put it away.

She glanced back at the team.

In everyone's eyes, an unprecedented flame was burning.

"We'll move," Xia Xue said.

"Pack up this place, and we'll follow you."

A brand new beginning.

One week later.

All the Employees of Shen Yan's company chartered a gulfstream g650.

The plane flew smoothly above the clouds.

Inside the cabin was an ocean of joy.

Chen Guangke, holding a glass of champagne, weaved through the aisle with a flushed face.

"Brothers! Sisters! To our awesome Mr. Shen! To the Heart of the Sea! Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Wu Ya sat not far away, quietly watching the window.

Her gaze occasionally drifted toward the man sitting in the very front row.

Shen Yan was not participating in their revelry.

He was speaking softly with Liu Hui.

Liu Hui's face held a gentle smile, nodding from time to time.

That scene was as harmonious as a painting.

Wu Ya withdrew her gaze, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and drank it all down.

The plane began to descend.

Through the porthole, an island of unreal beauty appeared before everyone's eyes.

It looked like a giant sapphire inlaid on the boundless azure.

In the center of the island was a staggered complex of white buildings, surrounded by dense tropical rainforest.

A stretch of silver-white beach encircled the entire island, like a perfect silver border set around the sapphire.

"Holy crap..."

Someone let out an exclamation devoid of any technical content.
