22: Chapter 22 Future Cars

"Chairman Wu?"

Xia Zhongxun raised an eyebrow.

The so-called Chairman Wu was, naturally, the boss of Future Auto, Wu Xiaopeng.

Future Auto!

As the leading enterprise in domestic new energy vehicles, it has always been one of the two major giants in the global new energy industry.

The other giant is Tesla.

However.

Tesla is from the United States.

Not only does it possess the powerful scientific research strength of the United States, but it also has the supply of 1nm Chip from Qualcomm.

Recently.

Future Auto had come to Longke Academy to find him several times.

This was because Future Auto was about to launch a high-end intelligent driving vehicle prepared to compete with Tesla.

But!

High-end intelligent driving vehicles not only need intelligent systems but also require high-performance chips.

However, the United States has been controlling the supply of high-performance chips, which left him frantic.

Therefore!

Wu Xiaopeng came to find Xia Zhongxun many times, just hoping that Longke Academy would help solve the chip problem.

If it were before, Xia Zhongxun would have had no way to help either.

After all, breakthroughs in chips are not that simple.

But now!

With the successful case of the Brain-like Dolphin, the performance of the Brain-like Chip has already surpassed that of a standard 1nm Chip!

Placing these high-performance chips into the intelligent driving of Future Auto would be completely problem-free!

Thinking of this.

Xia Zhongxun immediately went to his office to receive Wu Xiaopeng.

At this moment, Wu Xiaopeng was waiting anxiously.

"Old Xia! You finally arrived. I heard that your Longke Academy has recently been experimenting with a type of Brain-like Chip?"

"Can it match the 1nm Chip from the United States?"

Wu Xiaopeng asked expectantly.

As long as Longke Academy could provide a chip similar to the 1nm Chip, Future Auto could confidently launch high-end intelligent driving vehicles on a large scale.

Xia Zhongxun smiled upon hearing this: "Old Wu, who are you looking down on! The goal of our Longke Academy is not to just match the 1nm Chip; what we want to do is surpass it!"

"Surpass? You've already achieved it?" Wu Xiaopeng was stunned.

He had only heard that Longke Academy was researching chips in a new direction.

He thought that just being able to match the 1nm Chip would be good enough.

Surpass?

That's unlikely, right!

"Heh! We just conducted an experiment. Let me show you a portion of the experimental data and see if it can meet your requirements for high-end chips!"

Xia Zhongxun showed a portion of the chip test report to Wu Xiaopeng.

Wu Xiaopeng's Future Auto donated billions in funding to Longke Academy's research projects every year, and when Longke Academy produced results, they would prioritize supplying Future Auto.

The two organizations had a good relationship.

It was considered one of the models for the integration of industry and research.

"This, this completely exceeds our performance requirements!"

Wu Xiaopeng only glanced at it and was stunned.

Some of the performance data in these experimental results even exceeded the 1nm Chip!

"This is just the first-generation version; there is still room for improvement later."

Xia Zhongxun smiled mysteriously!

"That's truly great! When can it be mass-produced?" Wu Xiaopeng asked with great anticipation.

"You can mass-produce a portion of the first-generation version first. As for subsequent upgraded versions, we will provide them to you successively after we perfect them."

Xia Zhongxun said.

"Old Xia, I really love you to death!"

...

After Longke Academy and Future Auto reached a cooperation agreement!

Located within the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, inside a maximum-security prison.

Many serious criminals were imprisoned there.

One of them was Young Master Liu.

This was the nineteenth day that Young Master Liu had been imprisoned.

On the first day, Young Master Liu was indifferent, thinking his lawyer would take him out sooner or later.

On the second day, the lawyer appeared and negotiated sternly, making Young Master Liu feel even more confident of victory.

The third day, the tenth day passed... the lawyer still hadn't taken him out.

He began to get anxious.

He cursed the lawyer for being incompetent.

After all!

According to Young Master Liu's expectations, he should have been able to get out in about a week or two.

Whether it was backroom deals or paying for bail, he should have been able to get out by now.

But today, it had already been nearly twenty days!

That lawyer from the big law firm, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, still hadn't taken him out.

He began to be dissatisfied, shouting at the lawyer visiting him from outside the prison: "Lawyer Zhang, what exactly is going on!"

"My parents gave you quite a bit of money, can you actually get things done!"

"I just want to know, can I get out today or not!"

Lawyer Zhang opposite him was frowning, thinking!

How could he get a sentence reduction for this kid from the Liu family!

As a result.

He actually still wanted to get out today?

Wasn't this just wishful thinking?

Violating a national S-level secret order, and involving the Ministry of Oceans, how could it be so easy to get out?

"Young Master Liu, you may have misunderstood; I never guaranteed that I would definitely get you out."

Lawyer Zhang spoke up.

"Based on my understanding, your current situation is about striving for a sentence reduction."

"Wanting to get out immediately is simply impossible. Even if you get another lawyer to come, it will be the same."

Young Master Liu's face turned cold: "What do you mean?"

Lawyer Zhang: "The people who arrested you should have told you already. You violated matters related to national S-level confidential incidents involving people and events. I don't know what specifically, but it is already set in stone."

"Isn't it just that broken fishing boat..."

After Young Master Liu was slightly stunned, a nameless rage rose in his heart. A broken fishing boat had caused him to be arrested, sent to prison, and now he still couldn't get out. He shouted, "Get my dad to save me, you piece of trash! If you can't do it, then change to someone else!"

Lawyer Zhang kept a cold face and said indifferently: "You can change someone else, but let me tell you, your dad might not be able to come recently."

"What do you mean?"

Young Master Liu furrowed his brows!

"The Longan Department, through a rumor-mongering incident, discovered traces of your dad's active involvement with overseas forces. It is currently under thorough investigation, and the Longan Department has been watching your dad the whole time. He cannot come over."

"If you are not convinced, you can try asking your mom."

After speaking!

Lawyer Zhang turned and left.

For cases involving state secrets, even if he were more capable and professional, he still wouldn't be able to handle it, so it was better to leave quickly.

"What the hell are you spouting nonsense about!"

"Useless piece of trash!"

Young Master Liu cursed and swore.

Not long after.

A short message traveled across the ocean and arrived at Wall Street in the United States.

[Sorry, Ms. Thatcherong, because your son violated an S-level secret order from the Ministry of Oceans, this lawyer lacks the capability and cannot undertake this task.]

Inside a Gothic building.

Ms. Thatcherong looked at this message, her face gloomy.

During this time.

She had done more than just look for lawyers.

She had even sought out some officials from the Ministry of Oceans, as well as some big shots with status.

But not one of them could take it on.

"This Dragon Kingdom is giving me too little face."

"Do they think that because I am on Wall Street, I don't have the ability to move against your Dragon Kingdom?"

Ms. Thatcherong's expression was displeased.

She casually picked up a Newton Times nearby, which was reporting that Future Auto was about to launch a high-end intelligent driving vehicle and was going to have a head-on PK with Tesla.

"Future Auto..."

"The leading enterprise in domestic new energy + intelligent driving."

"Heh!"

"Since you won't give me face, then don't blame me for launching financial means to crush your leading enterprise!"

After a brief moment of anger, Ms. Thatcherong revealed a look of confidence.

As far as she knew, the Black Palace was about to announce the cutting off of chip supplies to Future Auto, and now was the perfect time to make a move!
