120: Chapter 120: Gear Shift, Incredible Speed Increase!
As Lin Yuan withdrew his hand from the canvas bag, two cold, hard metal blocks appeared in his well-defined, bony hand.
"Hiss—"
The restlessness that had just begun to subside in the conference room was reignited the moment these two pitch-black objects appeared.
On both sides of the long table, the engineers from terminal manufacturers and equipment vendors craned their necks, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
Some even stood up halfway from their chairs involuntarily, their hands gripping the edge of the table tightly.
In just these few short minutes, a full four hard drives had been pulled out of this ordinary black canvas bag!
Three were given to the operators, containing the complete set of underlying data for 5G base stations, enough to crush Fourth-generation Communication.
Another one was a sample for terminal equipment manufacturers, which not only contained hardware adaptation solutions but also hid the cognitive-subverting Hidden Dragon Operating System.
Everyone thought this was the limit.
As it turned out, damn it, he had actually pulled out two more!
Everyone's minds were buzzing wildly; how much more stuff was stuffed into this inconspicuous black canvas bag?
Was this even a bag?
This was simply a mobile treasure trove of top-tier technology!
Several chief engineers from major mobile phone manufacturers looked at each other, seeing the undisguisable shock on each other's faces.
One person.
A young man in his early twenties.
How much technology capable of rewriting the course of human civilization was hidden in his brain?
What kind of monster is this?!
Unlike those engineers with faces full of confusion and shock.
Yang Lin's fingers tightened abruptly on the armrest of his chair, then suddenly relaxed.
He leaned forward slightly, the irrepressible fanaticism in his eyes ready to erupt like magma.
What was meant to come had finally arrived.
Just now, Lin Yuan took out four hard drives; the three major operators took three, and the remaining one was a sample for the terminal equipment manufacturers.
That was all distributed.
But now, Lin Yuan had pulled out two more.
Who else could these two be for?
There was no need to guess the answer.
Yang Lin glanced quickly in the direction of Lin Yu.
Lin Yu also turned his head slightly at this moment.
The two of them, separated by half the length of the long table, locked eyes in the air for less than a second before looking away.
No words were spoken, but that instantaneous exchange of glances spoke volumes.
Finally, it was their turn.
Sure enough, Lin Yuan calmly placed the two hard drives on the table and gestured vaguely toward Yang Lin and Lin Yu.
"Director Yang, Director Lin."
Both of them straightened their backs almost simultaneously.
Lin Yuan tapped his fingers on the two hard drives one by one and said in a calm tone.
"These two hard drives: one contains the complete set of data for the core technology of Brain-like Bionic Computing."
"The other contains the complete technical data for the core technology of Large-scale MIMO antennas and the core technology of the new 5G air interface physical layer."
In one breath, three highly disruptive technical terms slammed into their minds.
Yang Lin's breathing became much heavier on the spot, his chest heaving violently.
Brain-like Bionic Computing core technology!
This thing is the most fundamental and critical cornerstone of the entire Brain-like Intelligence project!
It is a brand-new computing architecture that completely breaks out of the Von Neumann Architecture!
It is starting from scratch at the very root, using brand-new hardware logic to directly simulate the way biological neurons work.
Once this technology is implemented, it means that the Xia Kingdom will possess an underlying computing power engine that is completely different from all current computers worldwide.
Yang Lin stared fixedly at the hard drive containing the core technology for Brain-like Bionic Computing, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, he would have loved to pounce on it right now and grab the hard drive.
On the other side, Lin Yu pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his right hand, his eyes narrowing sharply behind the lenses, and his left hand clenched into a fist under the table unconsciously.
Large-scale MIMO antenna core technology.
5G new air interface physical layer.
The former is the physical hardware skeleton of Fifth-generation Communication, and the latter is the communication language itself.
How base stations should arrange antenna arrays, how beams should be formed, how channels should be coded...
These most fundamental and core things are all in these two technologies!
With these two technologies, the foundation of the Xia Kingdom's communication network could be forged into an iron plate that no one could ever shake!
Lin Yuan folded his hands and rested them on the table, his gaze sweeping over Yang Lin and Lin Yu in turn.
"Director Yang, Director Lin, there is one point I need to emphasize."
The two men quickly pulled their attention back from the hard drives and looked in unison at the young man in the main seat.
Lin Yuan raised a finger and swept it across both sides of the long table.
"The hard drives distributed just now, whether it's the base station data for the three major operators, or the adaptation solutions and Hidden Dragon System for the terminal equipment manufacturers..."
"In essence, these are all terminal-level things."
"Base stations are terminals, mobile phones are terminals, and industrial equipment are also terminals. What they need is adaptation and deployment."
"But..."
Lin Yuan withdrew his finger and let it rest on the two hard drives in front of him.
"No matter how perfect the system or how advanced the terminal equipment, without the full support of underlying computing power and a brand-new physical communication architecture to carry the torrent of data, they are all useless ornaments."
"What these two hard drives contain is the foundation that determines whether this building can be constructed."
Lin Yuan leaned forward, an invisible sense of oppression covering the area of the main seat.
"Therefore, the task for the assault teams you two lead is very heavy."
"I need you to master these technologies as quickly as possible, clear all obstacles in the shortest time, and achieve engineering implementation."
"Furthermore, these technologies are just the beginning. In the subsequent advancement, I will also accelerate the progress of providing the supporting evolutionary technical data."
Upon hearing this, Yang Lin's temples throbbed twice, and blood rushed to his head.
Having worked with Lin Yuan for several months, he had figured out quite a few patterns regarding the work style of this young Chief Engineer.
The technical data in Lin Yuan's hands was never dumped all at once, but rather came in wave after wave, continuous and endless.
That was exactly how it was done when working on the Photolithography Machine last time!
And now, the same rhythm was back.
Brain-like Bionic Computing and MIMO antennas were just the first step; there was still full-band spectrum reuse, computing-algorithm synergistic coupling, edge-side intelligent autonomous learning...
That was an entire closed-loop technology chain!
Lin Yuan said he would keep up with the progress.
That meant no matter how fast they digested and implemented it, Lin Yuan's technical output would be able to keep up.
Thinking of this, Yang Lin spoke up directly.
"Chief Engineer Lin."
He lowered his voice by half a degree, but every word carried weight.
"Rest assured."
"Even if our old bones are shattered in the laboratory, the speed of digestion on my end will never drag us down by even a bit!"
Lin Yu was not as expressive as Yang Lin, but his eyes behind the lenses also darkened.
"The same goes for the Institute of Computing."
Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, looking at the two of them, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
"That's good."
He didn't say any more sentimental words, propped his hands on the table, and stood up directly.
"Alright, that's all for today."
"Everyone take your things and go back to speed up the progress."
This sentence caused the atmosphere in the conference room to suddenly liven up.
The technical liaison officers of the three major operators were the first to stand up, each carefully tucking their own hard drive into their briefcases.
After nodding to Lin Yuan, the three of them walked toward the door almost at the same time, moving swiftly, skipping even the pleasantries.
The person in front had just crossed the threshold when he hissed a command to his assistant behind him.
"Notify the Base Station Pre-research Group, everyone on standby tonight, start working immediately as soon as the data is decrypted!"
Yang Lin and Lin Yu didn't dawdle either.
The two reached out almost simultaneously, each picking up a hard drive.
Yang Lin weighed the black metal block in his hand containing the core technology of Brain-like Bionic Computing; he didn't say anything, but his feet were already moving toward the door.
Lin Yu put the hard drive into his briefcase, nodded slightly to Lin Yuan, and turned to follow.
The chief engineers of the terminal equipment manufacturers were not idle either; they sprang up from their chairs one by one, swarming in groups of three or five toward the secure room at the end of the corridor.
The noisy footsteps and hushed discussions intertwined, quickly fading down the corridor.
The large conference room emptied out by more than half in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yuan stood by the main seat, picked up the now-empty canvas bag from the table, slung it back over his left shoulder, and smiled.
He knew very well that from today on, the two assault gears capable of crushing Western technological hegemony would be fully shifted into the highest gear, accelerating madly.
And this was just the beginning.
