406: Chapter 405 Quantum Chip – Dream Butterfly! Officially Released!
Everyone looked towards the two seats on the far right of the first row in the entrepreneurs' area.
"Chairman Ren Zheng, should I go up?"
After receiving a nod of approval from Chairman Ren Zheng on his right.
CEO stood up.
Feeling the eager gazes of the attendees all around.
He had intended to be more reserved.
But found his mouth curving into a grin instead.
Unable to close it no matter how hard he tried.
"Stop grinning like an idiot next to me, aren't you embarrassed..."
"Oh, oh!"
CEO carried a small safe.
And walked briskly onto the podium.
Arriving in front of Chief Designer Bai Yannian.
CEO could no longer contain the excitement in his heart.
And said with a trembling voice.
"Chief Designer Bai, this is the surprise I mentioned to you earlier today!"
He opened the safe.
And took out a transparent box about the size of a palm.
"Our China's first laboratory-version prototype quantum chip!"
"Considering that the quantum chip was born from the Nanke Dreamscape envisioned by Chief Designer Lin, our team has tentatively named it!"
"Mengdie Generation I!"
"It means, Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, a great dream lasting a thousand years!"
Regarding the unveiling of the quantum chip.
Chief Designer Bai Yannian, who had long anticipated this mentally.
No longer appeared calm.
"I only just learned of the huge surprise from your quantum chip R&D team before the conference began today!"
Chief Designer Bai Yannian examined the transparent wafer box carrying the "Longxin Generation I" repeatedly for a while.
He gave CEO a thumbs up directly.
And praised him profusely.
"Huachen Technology is truly worthy of being the leading tech enterprise in China!"
"Comrade CEO, you have worked really hard!"
"All the comrades in the Huachen Technology chip R&D team have worked hard as well!"
"The outstanding contributions you have made to China's technological development will surely be recorded in the annals of this great new era with rich, vibrant colors!"
"..."
Having received praise directly from the highest-ranking leader in charge of China's technological development.
And recalling the storms and hardships experienced over the past few years.
CEO's eyes began to redden.
It had not been easy!
For so many years, Huachen Technology's full-stack nano-chip self-research project had been initiated and led by him, CEO.
But it had to be admitted that.
In the field of high-precision technology like nano-chips, there was indeed a technological gap of at least twenty years between China and the Eagle Nation.
Although Huachen Technology invested a huge amount of R&D funds, manpower, and resources into the path of full-stack chip self-research every year.
Yet no results were seen for a long time.
Even in recent years.
Every time Huachen Technology Group held a board meeting.
Several directors proposed reducing R&D funding to increase corporate profits.
This could not be blamed on the short-sightedness of the board members.
After all, at that time, China had already joined the WTO.
According to international multilateral trade treaties.
Huachen Technology could completely purchase high-performance nano-chips from other countries at a premium.
From an economic perspective.
It would save at least 50 to 100 billion in R&D costs annually compared to full-stack self-research.
Such a large expense suddenly turning into income.
It would be impossible for anyone not to be tempted.
However.
The rules were rigid, but the Eagle Nation was flexible.
Just in recent years.
The Eagle Nation suddenly used national security as a pretext, tore off the mask, and imposed a technological blockade on China, perfectly interpreting what it meant to say "rules are meant to be broken."
After this year's Science Fiction Spring Festival Gala ended.
The Eagle Nation even adopted unprecedented high-pressure sanctions specifically targeting Huachen Technology.
For a time.
The entire group's smart mobile device-related business quickly faced the desperate situation of having no chips to use.
The immense pressure of a life-or-death crisis.
All pressed down on him, CEO, almost giving him a heart attack.
But fortunately, heaven never seals off all exits.
CEO suddenly remembered a secret he had discovered by chance.
Ren Xueyi, the precious only daughter of Huachen founder Chairman Ren Zheng, the heir to Huachen Technology Group, and the closed-door disciple of Professor Ai Chongfeng.
And Lin Mo, who had already become the Chief Designer of China Military Industry equipment.
Actually had a close relationship as fellow disciples!
With his sharp instincts.
He immediately thickened his skin and tried every way to make contact with Lin Mo.
Afterwards.
He even used his connection with Ren Xueyi to specially lead Huachen's chip R&D technical team.
To travel to the Lin Mo Research Center located in Yan Province, inviting Lin Mo to provide technical guidance and answer questions for the chip R&D team.
Thanks to this Q&A session.
Those genius engineers of the Huachen Technology chip R&D team.
Seemed as if their Ren and Du meridians had been opened.
In just a few short months, they developed a world-class 7nm chip, officially announcing the breakthrough of the Eagle Nation's technological blockade.
Afterwards.
The chip R&D team he led.
Hurriedly took on the highest-level scientific research project from the Chinese authorities — the "Jiuzhang Quantum Supercomputer" quantum chip R&D!
And this time.
Perhaps it was the result of long-term accumulation, or perhaps it was a natural outcome.
Regarding the R&D of the quantum chip.
Every person on the R&D team was like someone who had been enlightened by an immortal.
Breaking expectations again and again.
Overcoming obstacles again and again.
Even two days ago.
The R&D team brought him a super big surprise.
Officially announcing that they had developed a laboratory-version quantum chip that, while not fully performant, could already normally execute computing power!
"Go, share this surprise with everyone present!"
CEO nodded firmly.
"Okay!"
CEO walked to the front of the podium.
An assistant engineer from the R&D team was at the computer next to him.
Assisting in playing the PPT.
"Everyone!"
Facing these dear "competitors" in the audience.
CEO was not so polite anymore.
"From here on, there isn't much time left for you!"
"I hope everyone can hurry up and move forward at a run!"
"Quickly catch up with the pace of our Huachen Technology, which is far in the lead, and do not fall behind in this great quantum era!"
"..."
