Even if it's just the domestic market, Lantian is already making a fortune.

In terms of profit, it may not be as good as Jiuzhou for the time being, but this is only temporary. If this trend continues, and Jiuzhou doesn't launch any new products, surpassing them shouldn't take more than two years.

However, Jiuzhou has already formed its own system, which is something Lantian, a newly established company, can't compare with.

Don't be fooled by Lantian's current momentum; the gap between them and Jiuzhou is still significant.

Aside from the differences in system, practically speaking, Jiuzhou's current profits are also unmatched by Lantian.

Moreover, Jiuzhou's healthy ecosystem allows it to withstand the impact of any problem.

Haven't you seen that in the international market, Jiuzhou is already strong enough to resist the impact of those giants?

And it's still doing so with ease. Looking at it this way, Jiuzhou can now be described as a "giant."

An enterprise that can compete with Google's Android system and Oracle's Java programming language deserves this title.

Neither Jiuzhou's employees nor Fang Yuan have realized this. They have only been established for three years and can only be considered an "emerging" enterprise.

They don't even have plans to go public, and they've only had funding from Liu Zhijun's initial investment and Fang's father's investment.

It's not that Jiuzhou doesn't want to raise funds, but their development speed is so unexpected that their capital chain is already sufficient before they even need to raise funds.

Jiuzhou's funds have become abundant, but Fang Yuan's funds have never been sufficient.

Isn't that right? As soon as Lantian's income arrived, it was already spent by Fang Yuan.

That's right, Fang's father has already hired someone to negotiate the purchase of the factory he liked last time. Once the funds arrive, the factory will belong to Fang Yuan.

This matter is extremely important. Without this factory, Fang Yuan's graphene could only be kept in the laboratory.

Speaking of which, the mass production of graphene is indeed somewhat unexpected. If this happens, both the battery industry and the semiconductor industry will undergo a huge change.

Fang Yuan doesn't have the energy for the battery side for the time being. If someone can take the lead in making a breakthrough in this field at this time, Fang Yuan thinks it would be a good thing.

But if no one can do this before he frees up his hands, Fang Yuan thinks he should still complete this matter himself.

He didn't even think about it. Only Hua Factory and himself have the conditions to complete this matter, but neither of them has the energy to work on batteries in the short term.

However, when both sides have the energy to work on this matter, Fang Yuan has absolute confidence that he can make a breakthrough in this field before Hua Factory.

So, after the carbon-based chip is completed, will he have to devote himself to the battery field?

It seems that for a long time to come, he can only wander between physics and chemistry.

Computer science and mathematics may have to be put on hold, but all of this will be done after the carbon-based chip is completed.

Fang Yuan has a clear goal for the future.

The next step is the graphene battery and the proof of the n-p conjecture. If there are no accidents, after the n-p conjecture is proven, he should have the energy to focus on Jiuzhou.

He has been neglecting this "eldest son" of his lately. If this continues, Fang Yuan thinks the other party's resentment towards him should be terrifying, right?

So, after he finishes the n-p conjecture, he will use some energy to create an indestructible golden body for Jiuzhou. He has already thought of the specifics, but he won't mention it for now. He will talk about it when Fang Yuan is really free.

Looking at it this way, he won't be free for a long time, and he will be even busier than he is now.

He is busy now, but it hasn't reached the point where he can't do anything.

Because it has reached the final stage, the carbon-based chip has already started tape-out. According to Fang Yuan's calculations, the possibility of this tape-out failing is almost non-existent.

After all, with the help of Xiaoxing, Fang Yuan has absolute confidence in the details. He is just afraid that after this tape-out, the performance of the finished carbon-based chip will not meet expectations.

Even if it doesn't meet expectations, it will be much stronger than silicon-based chips, of course, this is under the premise of the same process.

For the first batch of carbon-based chips applied to mobile terminals, Fang Yuan did not choose to be aggressive and benchmark against the current top 7nm process, but conservatively chose the 12nm process, and he did not even push the 12nm process to the extreme.

Even so, the expected performance of this chip has greatly exceeded the most powerful A-series chips on the market.

But it's still a bit early to say this. The specific performance indicators need to wait until the carbon-based chip is truly developed to know.

Speaking of which, Fang Yuan has polished this chip tens of millions of times.

This is not an exaggeration. If it were just him alone, he couldn't do it to this extent, but with Xiaoxing, this matter is not difficult to complete.

To some extent, this chip is like a meticulously crafted handicraft, even more anticipated than the best handicraft.

Such a small thing has made Fang Yuan waste nearly two years on it, which is simply incredible.

This is still under the premise that the system has already prepared the technical manual for him. If it weren't for this, Fang Yuan would have no way to complete this matter now.

Now that I think about it, if the news that the carbon-based chip is about to be successfully launched spreads, how much of a sensation will it cause?

Fang Yuan doesn't dare to think about this. This is even more shocking than the Jiuzhou system.

Even the two are not at the same level at all. The Jiuzhou system is at most optimizing the existing operating system, and it can't be said to be an epoch-making work.

But the carbon-based chip is really an epoch-making invention, and it can even be said to be the key to opening the next era.

If you say that, you may not have any concept. To put it this way, the Jiuzhou system has not changed people's lives, but the carbon-based chip is an invention that changes people's lifestyles.

Just like when "electricity" was discovered, the carbon-based chip is also something of that level.

With it, the previously conceptual ideas have the most basic elements to be realized.

That is to say, as long as the carbon-based chip is really available to everyone, those ideas will have the capital to be realized, which also means that technology, which had already begun to slow down, will start to develop rapidly again.

Not only that, with graphene, batteries have the capital to replace traditional fuels.

Fang Yuan hasn't considered so much for the time being. He and the engineers from Hua Factory are nervously watching the process inside through the glass.

"Just relax, there is no problem with this tape-out. Everyone just needs to prepare for the performance test after the success!" Fang Yuan patted the shoulders of several people around him to comfort them.

"Okay! President Fang." Fang Yuan's comforting words didn't work, because he was also one of these people.

This moment is worthy of being written into history books. No one can maintain a normal heart in this scene, at least Fang Yuan can't do this.

The engineers of Hua Factory can't do this even more. Without Fang Yuan, they would not be able to see the birth of carbon-based chips in the next ten years.

Now it's good, they can be regarded as one of the manufacturers of the key to leading the next era.

Of course, this is under the condition that the tape-out is smooth.

Without letting these people wait for long, the tape-out has ended in a short time.

"How is it?" Fang Yuan said, looking at Zhao Gao and Wu Ji who came out.

"Very successful, boss! We succeeded!" The two looked at each other and didn't play tricks!

"Good! You did a good job!" Before Fang Yuan could continue to praise, the cheers of the engineers from Hua Factory had already drowned out his subsequent words.

After a while, the cheers ended. After these people's enthusiasm cooled down, Fang Yuan said to them: "Don't be too happy too early, everyone. I'll treat you to dinner after the performance test is over!"

"Don't worry, President Fang, we are all full of confidence in this chip. There will be no accidents in the performance test!"

"Hopefully!" Fang Yuan said.

Sure enough, as the performance test progressed, the smiles on everyone's faces became more obvious, and even a few guys with a vengeful face showed the kind of smile that made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Two days later, Fang Yuan was holding the performance test report in his hand. Originally, the whole process would continue for a few more days, but these engineers couldn't stand the days of waiting and finished the performance test in two days by working overtime.

The latest novel is at 69shu.com!

"How is it? President Fang, except for the GPU performance being the same as expected, everything else has exceeded expectations. The overall performance has exceeded expectations by 15%. Looking at it this way, we have been very successful this time!" Wu Hong, the chief person in charge from Hua Factory engineer said.

Don't look at his name being feminine, but this guy is much stronger than Wu Ji and Zhao Gao, which made Fang Yuan want to dig him over.

But because of Mr. Ren's face, Fang Yuan didn't take action.

"Yes! It can be said to be very successful!" Fang Yuan looked through the pages one by one, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

That's right, this is my work. It's so exquisite. As far as it looks now, the overall performance is more than twice that of the flagship chip of this generation.

That is to say, even if the next generation of flagship chips is released, it will not have this level.

In other words, Fang Yuan and his team achieved performance exceeding that of one and a half flagship chips, despite using a chip manufacturing process one generation behind the flagship.

This was simply unbelievable. Who would have thought that merely changing the material could achieve such an effect?

Moreover, the greater strength of carbon-based chips has yet to be fully realized. To put it bluntly, breaking through the 5nm process with silicon-based chips is a pipe dream, but carbon-based chips don't have this bottleneck at all, meaning their potential is limitless.

And achieving this isn't difficult. If they weren't being overly conservative, Fang Yuan could have achieved a 5nm process this time, or even gone a step further.

The engineers from Hua Factory understood this even better than Fang Yuan. As long as they could get their hands on the current carbon-based chip, they could produce a 5nm carbon-based chip in less than a year.

Judging from this, their initial decision was correct. They hadn't wasted their time here for so long.

It was almost the New Year, and this meant they could go back and have a good New Year.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but lament the ruthlessness of time. They hadn't even done anything, and they had already been here for almost half a year.

When they arrived, the sun was shining brightly. And now? The sun was still shining brightly, but the scenery outside had completely changed.

A field of white, not the silver they most wanted to see, but a ground covered in snowflakes!

That's right, it was already winter outside, and deep winter at that. There was less than a month left until the New Year.

"Now that we've succeeded, we'll head back first!" Wu Hong cupped his fist towards Fang Yuan, admiring this young man greatly.

In the past six months, he had witnessed what a true genius was.

Working with Fang Yuan, you only needed to have hands, you didn't need to bring your brain at all.

They had truly experienced this firsthand. No matter the situation, there was nothing Fang Yuan couldn't solve. In the eyes of this young man, there didn't seem to be any problems at all.

What he didn't know was that Fang Yuan had the system as a cheat, so where would there be any problems?

In the past year or so, Fang Yuan's biggest gains were in physics and chemistry. His physics level had reached LV7, and he had even advanced a long way within that level.

As for chemistry, he had already touched the threshold of LV7 and would soon reach it.

That being said, besides mathematics and computer science, whose level he didn't know, he had two more LV7-level disciplines.

However, the price for this was that his math level had barely moved in the past year or so.

But this was within his acceptable range. Fang Yuan had already made the trade-off for this matter.

"Are you in such a hurry? I was going to treat you to a meal!" Fang Yuan looked at him in surprise.

"Yes! I still need to go back and report this matter to Old Man Ren!" Wu Hong smiled and continued, "But your meal will be on the tab for now. Remember to make it up to us after our carbon-based chip is officially launched after the New Year!"

"Definitely!" Fang Yuan promised.

"By the way, does our carbon-based chip have a name?" Wu Hong suddenly thought of this.

"Of course! It's called Star 1000." Saying this, Fang Yuan smiled.

The Star series chip was officially born. With the confirmation of this name, Fang Yuan's journey was truly about to become a journey to the stars.

"Star? That's a good name. The carbon-based chip is worthy of this name!" Wu Hong thought for a moment and felt that the name was surprisingly fitting for the carbon-based chip.

"Alright, then we'll leave first. Old Man Ren is already waiting impatiently!" Wu Hong said to Fang Yuan with a smile.

"Okay! I wish you a safe journey!"

There's not much to say about what happened after Wu Hong returned to Hua Factory. In summary, it was just one sentence.

"The content is profound, the process is bumpy, and the result is satisfactory!" These fifteen characters are enough to summarize his work at the research center during this period.

But no matter what, Hua Factory was the happiest one besides Fang Yuan.

Now it was finally their turn to usher in the next era and become the true helmsmen. It's just that behind their helmsman, there was still Fang Yuan.

Even so, it was much better than before. At least they wouldn't be restrained by those guys from M Country.

Even the rules in the future would be set by them, but this matter couldn't be announced yet.

Fang Yuan had been providing them with graphene materials since last month. This wasn't the graphene battery that could only be in the laboratory before, it was already on the way.

It's just that their graphene battery was somewhat unworthy of the name. At most, there were some breakthroughs in charging and discharging speed and capacity.

After all, the graphene provided by this kid Fang Yuan was not enough for them to be extravagant enough to use graphene for all the electrode materials!
