The end of technology.

After all, he is very satisfied with Ning Yuan's job now, so he really doesn't want Ning Yuan to be unable to support himself in the future.Jin Zhengnan is a shrewd person, he knows very well that with Ning Zi's current ability and status, no matter how he wants to live in this life, it is impossible to be short of money, but Ning Yuan is not necessarily so.

It is completely an asset that can be discarded.Even if Ning Yuan really goes bankrupt in the future, or even becomes insolvent, there will be no need for Ning Zi to speak up, someone will take the initiative to help clear up his relationship with Ning Yuan.It is guaranteed that Ning Zi will not get involved in those troublesome things, but he is different. There is a high probability that he will be kicked out of the house and become a vagrant.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Kim Jong Nam.

After all, he is 48 years old this year. If he is really kicked out of Ningyuan, he probably has no hope of making a comeback in his life, so he really put all his heart and soul into his work.That is to say, he doesn't know much about scientific research, otherwise even the laboratories would have to be checked one by one to drive out those who fish in troubled waters.

Ning Zi was also aware of Kim Jong Nam's arrangements.

But he didn't interfere too much.

When Kim Jong Nam was invited to be in charge of Ning Yuan, firstly, there was no suitable candidate; secondly, he was also interested in the fact that Kim Jong Nam did not have too many conflicts of interest in China.

Research in the basic direction not only eats money, but is often a bottomless pit for swallowing gold, and it is also the hardest hit area for corruption in the scientific research field.

Although March had already screened people when they were poaching, all the researchers they were looking for were serious researchers who were working on projects, those who already had titles and honors, and just wanted to lie on the credit book did not even receive them. Even if you pass the invitation letter, people's mentality will change after all.

Kim Jong Nam, as the nominal person in charge of Ning Yuan, will be the one who plays the black face in the future.

Although a lot of money has been paid to recruit people now, if no results can be achieved within a certain period of time, Ning Yuan will definitely take back the laboratory and the people will leave directly. At this time, Kim Jong-nam has to step in.So in these minutiae matters, Ning Zi gave full support to Kim Jong Nam, helping the Korean Islander to establish his authority in Ning Yuan.

Of course, this is actually suggested by March. For human nature, March does not say that she sees it more clearly and thoroughly than humans, but at least she understands it better than Ning Zi.

……

Leaving the lecture hall, Ning Zi went directly to the box that had already been booked on the first floor, where Lu Xiaoya was already waiting for him.

When there is no class in the afternoon, they usually go to the Ningyuan cafeteria at 05:30, and then the two of them have a meal together and then take a walk on the campus. Ning Zi likes to listen to Lu Xiaoya tell about what interesting things happened in school today, This feeling is as if Xiaoya has lived the wonderful and rich university life of the two of them by herself...

At least it made Ning Zi feel that his life experience has been enriched a lot.

There is no way, he missed the best four years of college, and now he has graduated with a Ph.

It takes about an hour to walk, and at seven o'clock Ning Zi usually has to go to the office for a few hours, while Lu Xiaoya goes to class or participates in the activities of the school's martial arts association, and usually returns home at around ten o'clock at night, and then takes a bath, Sleep and get ready for the next day in your life.

After a semester of running-in, both of them have gotten used to this way of getting along, which is simple, harmonious and warm.

When we met at this time, while waiting for the dishes, Lu Xiaoya also started to chatter as usual.

"Hey, life goes by so fast, and it's almost New Year's Day. Then there's the final exam. I don't feel like I've done much for a semester, and it's almost over. By the way, today Chen Xi sneaked over to ask me if I had a final exam. The inside information about the exam was scolded by me directly.

It's as if every time I pass the exam, I rely on inside information... Tsk, I obviously rely on having a good husband, right? "

Lu Xiaoya babbled confidently.

Ning Zi nodded obediently.

In fact, it's true to go deeper into what he said, anyway, there's no need for him to say anything, and it's impossible for Principal Chen to let Lu Xiaoya fail.Even if Ning Zi thinks that it doesn't matter whether he fails the course or not, and some people must put things first, there is nothing he can do.

In fact, Ning Zi and Lu Xiaoya really don't care about these small things now.

Anyway, Ning Zi didn't plan to let Lu Xiaoya do research work, and Lu Xiaoya didn't plan to be a substitute teacher in the future, so the quality of the grades is actually not that important, anyway, it will neither cause any loss nor mislead the students. .

Lu Xiaoya is currently mainly responsible for happiness and sharing, while Ning Zi is responsible for raising the family and making contributions, which is almost perfect.Not to mention that Lu Xiaoya's grades are not bad, at least in the major she studied, not to mention top in the class, at least she can be ranked in the top ten or so.

"Also, today a boy from the sports academy next door came to our class Huang Siqi to confess his love. Huang Siqi, do you still remember? I used to share a dorm with me, that tall girl with a good figure, that scene... 99 pink roses, what a huge bouquet, just outside the stadium, when our gymnastics class was over, he rushed out to give flowers, and a group of his classmates were booing there, the effect exploded..."

"Oh, did Huang Siqi agree?"

"I definitely agreed, that boy is also pretty handsome, and he can send 99 pink roses at once, and the economic conditions must be okay. Hey, it's just too exaggerated. I feel embarrassed when I look at it from the side. It's 2018. Still doing this, I get goosebumps just watching it..."

"Oh? Then how do you think you should confess?"

"It must be cooler!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiaoya squeezed her throat, pretended to be a man's voice, and said in a rough voice: "Woman, I have a crush on you. I will give you a chance to follow me. Don't be ungrateful."

Ning Zi smiled, he remembered the message Lu Xiaoya sent him on WeChat when he was still marked by him as a strong sister: "Why don't you follow my sister."

Although the woman withdrew within two seconds, she left a deep impression on him.

So Ning Zi commented very pertinently: "Well, I think your confession is more individual, and the pattern of giving roses is indeed too vulgar. It's a pity that you are a girl. If it is a boy, then the girl must choose you."

"Hehe, let me just say it. In fact, sending flowers is better than giving sticks, and one more sentence, if I change my mind in the future, you can beat me with sticks. Isn't it more realistic than sending flowers?"

Ning Zi blinked, and then decided to skip this topic: "By the way, let me tell you something, there are two days left for this week's lecture, and on Friday I will go to the newly built new research base at the University of Science and Technology. The physics laboratory will be closed for another period of time. It may last until the high-level astronomy forum held in the winter vacation opens, and we may not be able to meet for a month.

"Ah... you want to retreat again?" Lu Xiaoya asked in astonishment.

The last time Ning Zi retreated in the chip research and development center, after coming out, he made a chip, and then the two of them stayed together at night for no reason, and then got married for no reason.

Now that Ning Zi suddenly proposed to retreat again, Lu Xiaoya was really caught off guard.

The half-yearly retreat frequency is a bit exaggerated in the eyes of girls.

The whole thing is the same as cultivation.

"Well, some discoveries have been made recently, and I want to do some simple verification in the laboratory before the opening of the high-level astronomical forum."

"Um, did you tell Boss Chen? You don't know. When you went to retreat in the chip lab in summer, Boss Chen wished he could find me three times a day. We were just friends at that time. Ignore him, God knows what he can do in a day." Lu Xiaoya said exaggeratedly.

There was a touch of reluctance in his tone.

After all, it is the time for the newlyweds to know the taste, and Lu Xiaoya likes to be lively. Ning Zi has been in retreat for nearly a month, thinking that he can only eat alone for a month, and there is no one when he goes home every night. Accompanied, they feel bored.

"I will tell Principal Chen when I leave. By the way, I will tell my cousin tomorrow that after Yulin's final exam, let her and Yulin come and live for a while, so that you won't be bored at home alone. "

"Uh...then before they come, can I let sister Qiu Xian come and live with me for a while?"

"Zhai Qiuxian? Oh, of course. Let her live here. If you still feel lonely, you can also ask your parents to come and accompany you for a while." Ning Zi nodded and replied.

"It's okay, it's enough to have sister Qiuxian, Ning Xiao, and Yulin to accompany me." Lu Xiaoya said with a happy smile.

……

For Lu Xiaoya, Ning Zi's going to retreat is just that she won't be able to see each other for a while.

But when Ning Zi explained the matter to Chen Yonggang and the news spread, everyone's opinions were different.

According to the analysis of March, there is an expectation effect in human nature.

For example, Ning Zi retreated for about half a month for the first time, and then found a brand new chip structure and manufacturing method, which boosted China's overall semiconductor development confidence.The Internet has already made this story miraculous, so when he retreats for the second time, it will even arouse people's anticipation effect.

Even if the things produced are astonishing, most people will make up this new theory or the scientific research story behind the new material in their minds.

This is the benefit of retreating without incident.As long as there are enough retreats, in the future, as long as he proposes to retreat, people will take the initiative to look forward to it psychologically.Directly make the unreasonable reasonable.

"The results of Ning Zi's retreat...you understand!"

Of course, in addition to this, even if it is only the second retreat, many people have begun to look forward to it.

After receiving the news, many people called directly to ask Ning Zi what kind of experiments he was going to do in this retreat, and what results he wanted to get.

But these were all dealt with by Ning Zi.

According to the plan in March, this retreat has two important purposes. The first is to modify the basis of quantum physics to a certain extent through experimental data. In order to prove this theory, the incidental product is to produce a few grams of antigravity in the laboratory. Material.

These are the most basic things for human beings to bid farewell to the earth and start to enter the space field.

A little bit out of the level of technological development of this era, it belongs to the kind of saying that before success, it will make the outside world wonder whether Ning Zi's brain has been wattled; after success, really show it to the world, and Belonging to a Nobel Prize in Physics is not worthy of this level of scientific discovery.

Originally, this was still something that should be done step by step at least five years later, but Ning Zi's series of discoveries made artificial intelligence like March begin to show "anxious" emotions.Of course, using "anxious" to describe March may not be accurate, or it can be said that after a multi-conditional mathematical model shows, the time has come to throw out these new things for everyone to accept.

After all, the plans made in March are never static, but are constantly revised as external conditions change.

In this regard, Ning Zi has no objection.

For a scientist, to explore the truth of the universe, or even take his lover on an interstellar trip to experience the magnificence and magic of the universe, is the most romantic thing in the world.For example, go to Orion to watch the meteor shower, or go to Andromeda to see the nebula, or go to the center of the Milky Way to see the black hole...

So March wants to speed up the progress, in fact, he also wants to.

In this way, after two consecutive days of lectures, Ning Zi set off directly with March in his arms.

Although many people were puzzled by the fact that Ning Zi hugged the local cat at home every time he retreated, they could only attribute this to Ning Zi's eccentricity.

After all, who can control him?

At the same time, Silicon Valley can only be described as gloomy and gloomy.

Yes, when a group of Silicon Valley leaders rushed to visit China and came back, the situation they faced was obviously not good...

Whether it is the chip industry chain or the upstream and downstream industries related to chips, it seems that they are facing a dilemma at this time, and profits have begun to decline severely.

Especially for Nvidia.

From refusal to compromise, to incomplete compromise, and now, the entire financial situation has suddenly fallen into a vicious circle...

Chapter 182 Sigh, Come Eat

In fact, for the World Semiconductor Alliance, the development of things is somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

The reason why they agreed to set up this alliance, and were even willing to follow the non-mandatory suggestions of the alliance, is not only due to the resolution of the National Congress, but also because these companies are confident.

Not to mention anything else, just take the three major EDA manufacturers as an example. Their market share in China is almost fixed, and they can make so much money every year.This market does not mean that if you give up, you will really give up. Years of technology accumulation allow them to have absolute pricing power, and they have the ability to get whatever they want for their customers.

There are many reasons, such as user habits, operating this type of professional software requires learning costs, and changing software requires engineers to relearn.

Another example is that their software is the most advanced, and most of the manufacturers have cooperated with each other. The matching of various parameters is accurate, and at a certain level of craftsmanship, they have achieved the ultimate.For example, only the EDA software of these three companies can support the chip design of the process below 3NM.

The most important thing is that for many large customers, the database accumulated in the early stage is very huge.These databases are even more valuable. Many new-generation chips designed by the library can be directly called. Once the software is changed, it will involve huge data migration work.

No big company would be willing to deal with this kind of thing, which is why they can be confident.

No matter how much trouble there is now, in the end those semiconductor companies in China will succumb.Especially when everyone joins together to form an alliance.

Most of the other companies thought the same, and at one point even thought they had won.

After all, as soon as some of their policies were promulgated, the entire semiconductor market in China was in turmoil.It even caused Ning Zi to be criticized verbally and in writing.

But who would have thought that such a result would come in the end.

In particular, Synopsy can be said to have suffered heavy losses. You must know that they have never had any discounts before.Prices can even increase year by year, customers are fixed, everyone is used to their software, and those huge databases restrict these companies from changing their products and taking whatever they want.

As long as they keep their asking price within the cost of replacing the software, they're guaranteed to win.

So giving up temporarily is just for the future to go back with pride.

But who would have thought that the birth of SB and [-]D heterogeneous chips caught everyone by surprise.

It is conceivable that when Huaxia's own [-]D heterogeneous chip develops, what awaits Synopsy will be to bid farewell to the Huaxia market forever.Because the other party will definitely not share the [-]D wiring technology and the parameters of its products with them, that is to say, the chips produced by China in the future will have nothing to do with Synopsy.

For other manufacturers, they are also facing the same dilemma, especially after Ning Zi sent each big boss a piece of the latest RF chip, this design can almost perfectly bypass all current semiconductor patent moats, and go to China to negotiate The bosses are probably full of helplessness.

No one mentioned forcing the Chinese people to submit, and the existence of the World Semiconductor Alliance seemed quite embarrassing.

Before, they didn't want to play with Huaxia's company at all. They went to Huaxia not long ago and invited Huaxia's local semiconductor companies to join the alliance, but no company took over.

Some companies that have business dealings with them have also directly communicated with them. The large-scale chip research and development center has also been released. It will not cooperate with companies that have joined the World Semiconductor Alliance in the future, so even if they join the alliance, it is impossible. Share with them the technical details of the new three-dimensional structure chip.

Originally, the President of Synopsy and the President of Intel jointly visited Youwei, hoping that Youwei could enter the alliance camp.According to the information they got, Youwei has cooperated with Ning Zi in many fields, and the relationship between the two parties is still good. If the conditions given can satisfy Youwei, maybe they can make the other party change their minds.

Pat Kilsinger did offer extremely favorable conditions on behalf of Intel. If Youwei is willing to play a role in the middle, they can help China quickly advance the development of this brand new chip technology, and are even willing to sign a contract with the local government to build a different chip technology. A new technology chip production base of less than US$[-] billion.

This indeed aroused the interest of many people. Although Youwei refused, some local officials negotiated with them for a long time, and some even flew to the capital, but the negotiation failed in the end.In the end, they got a very helpless answer. Their proposal was resolutely rejected by Ning Zi, and he didn't give any solution.

He even brought a sentence: "Since we were able to formulate policies against him, we should have thought that one day, he still likes the unruly appearance of you people at the beginning, so don't destroy his impression of you."

When the official recounted the original words to the two presidents, it is said that Pat Kelsinger smashed the phone after talking with Huang Wenhuang that day.

Yes, the alliance is dead in name only.

Not only that, Nvidia, which formulated the most active and radical policies at the beginning, is still complained by many companies internally.

After all, in order to delay Huaxia's continued research and development of new chip configurations this time, everyone has lost a lot.

If Nvidia hadn't initiated the call at the beginning and made this matter, maybe everyone's loss would not be so great.There may even be opportunities for collaboration.

The current loss is absolutely irreparable, so Lao Huang, the first talker of the alliance, and Nvidia represented by him naturally became the target of public criticism.

It seems that all the losses that everyone is suffering now are the fault of Lao Huang and Nvidia.

If you change to Nvidia, which was once high-spirited, you probably won't care about these complaints at all.After all, they are the world's leading manufacturers in the graphics technology and digital media processor industry, and nearly one-fifth of the companies in the alliance alone depend on his face.

But now Nvidia is facing an even harsher market environment.

The previously predicted situation has already happened. The huge number of low-priced mining cards has begun to crowd out the shipment and market of new graphics cards on a large scale.Nvidia has held a conference more than once to persuade major graphics card manufacturers to seal up materials, reduce production, and tide over difficulties together.

But for manufacturers, it is also miserable at this time.Most of the semiconductor materials ordered before have arrived. Most of these devices have a short shelf life and require harsh storage conditions. Storage costs are extremely high. If they are not produced, countless materials will be wasted. This is obviously not in everyone's interest.

With the establishment of this alliance, Lao Huang won the position of the talker and exerted extreme pressure on Huaxia. It may be that there is no man-made strategy to create graphics computing chips that will be scarce in the future, and to help these graphics card manufacturers sell more graphics cards in China and reduce the pressure. , but who knew it would lead to such a result.

According to the market analysis results obtained by spending a lot of money, the impact of second-hand mining trucks will continue until at least the middle or even the end of 2021.Unless they and AMD work together to launch graphics cards with more competitive performance and prices and guarantee the supply, the demand for mid-to-low-end graphics cards with the highest proportion in the PC market will be mostly covered by mining cards.

But judging from the current situation, Lao Huang thinks this analysis may be too optimistic.

Putting extreme pressure on Huaxia's plan to take over this batch of low-end and mid-end graphics cards on a large scale at normal prices has completely gone bankrupt, and the former allies have also begun to express their dissatisfaction from various channels...
