The end of technology.

It even includes these graphics card manufacturers who depend on him for food.

After all, big companies including Google, Intel, IBM, Qualcomm, etc. have begun to compromise, which has made the market environment they are facing now even more brutal.

Other semiconductor companies have made a bad start. Chips including hardware storage, flash memory, and radio frequency have begun to cut prices, and even chip design software has begun to discount. Graphic cards that are in a difficult market seem to be even less competitive if they do not cut prices. But there is not much room for them to reduce prices, and any further reduction will fall below the cost line.

At this time, Lao Huang really wanted to jump off the building. When internal and external troubles came together, not only the graphics card manufacturers who depended on them for food, but also Nvidia.The mine disaster came too fast, and they were killed before they had time to make a profit.

Is there any justice in this world?

……

Yes, Huang Wenhuang looked at the just-retouched Q3 financial report and felt that the world was really irrational.

The total revenue was only 37.21 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 37.8%, and the net profit attributable to the parent company was 2.35 million, a year-on-year decrease of 97.3%.

Huang Wenhuang is very clear that when this financial report is officially announced, it also indicates that Nvidia's stock price will further drop.Not to mention that this financial report has been technically modified. The real situation is very clear to Huang Wenhuang. The net profit of the parent company in the third fiscal quarter was actually negative. Most of the revenue was receivables, and some of the revenue was used to subsidize some manufacturing companies. Big factory.

Otherwise, those manufacturers will fall, and Nvidia will re-layout the global production line, which will be a laborious task.

The huge mining card market made a hard landing, which disrupted all his plans and arrangements, especially the blow to the consumer graphics card market was almost devastating, and the drop was unbearable.Global markets are already saturated.

But it's not just the immediate predicament that's even more frightening.

As we all know, the most important investment logic in the capital market is to look at expectations.For a company's future outlook, this requires a multi-dimensional investigation.

As long as Nvidia remains the world's leading provider of graphics technology chips and maintains a near-monopoly position in the global market, even a temporary drop in the stock price is no big deal.

But China's new chip structure has become a shadow over the heads of all manufacturers of the World Semiconductor Alliance.

This cannot be concealed. The follow-up effect of the unprecedented preferential treatment given to Huaxia by the major companies in the alliance has begun to affect the global market. Those well-informed bigwigs on Wall Street have probably received various reports on Huaxia’s new structure chip, and a bunch of Analysts are estimating and assessing the impact of the rise of China's semiconductor industry chain on the global semiconductor market.

The release of this financial report at this time will definitely make things worse.

Huang Wenhuang couldn't even doubt that those former friends and businessmen who were full of resentment against him would also make trouble.

The past six months are really like a dream...

It all started at the World Congress of Mathematicians. Ning Zi's one-hour report only lasted 10 minutes, which shocked the whole world.

Then it was developing rapidly, and the virtual currency that was sought after by thousands of people was directly beaten to death with a stick. It was obvious that the other party started it first. The formation of the World Semiconductor Alliance was more of a defensive nature at the time. Who knew that Ning Zi backhanded and lost A new generation of chip technology was released, which made everyone panic.

Even if Huaxia seals up the technology now, they will make a lot of money.Semiconductor companies all over the world will probably be willing to provide China with cheap products and services first, in order to get a share of the new technology in the future, or to ensure market share at present.

Turning hands is a cloud, covering hands is rain.

He has seen Ning Zi's tricks.

Of course, Huang Wenhuang would not believe that these achievements were made by Ning Zi alone.

Obviously, there was a large scientific research team behind Ning Zi from the beginning to the end, and Ning Zi even admitted his relationship with the March Forum.

Thinking of this, Huang Wenhuang felt depressed again.

Those bastards in Congress are always dictating their development. They own the most powerful intelligence agency in the world, but they have not been able to find the founder behind the March Forum. If they can dig this team to their side Come……

Forget it, Huang Wenhuang did have a lot of ideas at this time, but he couldn't solve the problems he was facing now.

After staring blankly at the financial report for 5 minutes, he switched the computer interface, opened the document, and started to conceive.

He wants to write a letter to Nvidia's global executives, telling everyone that Nvidia has reached the most dangerous time. Judging from the current situation, it can only enter the real defense stage.In particular, preventive layoffs are inevitable.

According to the financial report and internal suggestions, the current Nvidia has to lay off at least 30.00% of its staff, save cash flow as much as possible, and use it in more important places, so that it may be able to compete on the new track in the future.

However, Huang Wenhuang felt that it should be more radical, and he decided to lay off 50.00% of the staff.

This also means that when the wonderful Christmas holiday is over, half of Nvidia's employees will not be able to return to their original jobs.

Of course, he can't be blamed for this, all the blame can only be settled on Ning Zi's head.

Now everyone can only bet on new tracks, which also means huge investment in research and development.

Just when Huang Wenhuang made up his mind to start over to make Nvidia great again, he suddenly received a reminder in his mailbox.

Almost habitually, he clicked on the mailbox, and suddenly found that it was an email from the Chip R&D Center of Huaxia Yanbei Sports University.

After a quick glance at the content of the email, the simple translation is probably: "My dear friends, with a technology sharing and open mind, our center sincerely invites powerful semiconductor companies to join in the process advancement and development of new-structure [-]D chips and process standards. formulation and other work.

If your company also has the intention of cooperation, please go to the official website of the center to download the application form within three days, fill in and submit it as required, and wait for the response.Before filling out the application, please carefully read our company's requirements and suggestions on promoting technical cooperation.If there is no cooperation intention, please ignore this email.Finally, I wish you a prosperous career. "

Really, Huang Wenhuang was in a bad mood when he saw this email.

He couldn't figure out what Ning Zi was trying to do.

Not long ago, these people had just been to China. In order to cooperate, they proposed a bunch of favorable conditions, but they were ruthlessly rejected.

Now that they're all back, is there another proposal for cooperation?

What about playing monkeys?

At this moment, Huang Wenhuang wanted to smash the computer.

After all, it is definitely inappropriate for a regional general manager to discuss cooperation at this level, and he might have to go to Huaxia again.

not cooperating...

What a joke.

Let’s not talk about the three-dimensional structure chip configuration. Compared with the current most advanced technology, more transistors can be laid out per unit area, not to mention that the atomic diameter of its main structure, carbon, is much smaller than that of silicon atoms, which also means that it will be larger than the current one. Silicon-based chip technology has more long-term development advantages, and can be more easily advanced to the sub-nanometer process level than silicon atoms.

At this time, Huang Wenhuang directly suspended the internal letter to the executive, and directly clicked on the link attached to the email to enter the official website of Yanbei Huaxia Yanbei Sports University Chip R&D Center.

Sure enough, there is a link button for [-]D chip cooperation application on the catalog on the homepage of the official website.

Quickly click in, and you will see an application note.

After reading it carefully, Huang Wenhuang took another deep breath.

How should I put it, in fact, from the perspective of technical protection, there seems to be no problem. After all, they are playing the rest of the game, but this time the situation is different. Enterprises that want to join the research and development of new structure chips, At least it will be squeezed by China for 30 years...

The most exaggerated thing is that this kind of squeezing does not start when the finished product is researched and sold in the market, but it starts when the decision to join is made.

For example, to send scientists to participate in research and development, the company not only has to pay a one-time deposit of 130 billion U.S. dollars, but also all related research and development laboratories must be built in China. What is even more exaggerated is that the deposit must first be unconditionally deposited for ten years, and then from No.11 The refund will start every year, not a one-time refund, but a little refund every year, and the refund will be completed in 20 years.

How much can be refunded depends on whether there is any violation of the contract. If there is a violation, it will be deducted until all deductions are exhausted.

The deposit is a deposit. If you want to participate in the formulation of the new structure chip standard, you have to pay a deposit of 30 billion US dollars.

Enterprises involved in R&D and standard formulation can exempt part of the patent licensing fee based on their contribution to the progress of chip technology. At the same time, the patents they apply for on the basis of technology can also be used for free, but they still need to pay a lot of money to the chip R&D center every year. License fee for use of the new structure.

The Huaxia Chip R&D Center has the right to authorize the companies it likes to use all the patents related to the new structure. Of course, it will distribute some patent fees to everyone according to the contributions of each company. As for how to divide them, you have no right to dictate.

The most unacceptable of these conditions to Huang Wenhuang is that the design, simulation and process data collection of new chips can only be completed through SB series EDA software. Even companies involved in the design cannot use other EDA software. Otherwise, not only will all deposits and security deposits be deducted, but the relevant semiconductor companies will also be directly kicked out.

crazy……

The Huaxia people are really crazy this time...

Is it true that antitrust laws do not exist?

……

At the same time, Ning Zi had officially started his retreat career. In the underground basic physics laboratory of the New Technology Super Research Center of the University, he was in a daze looking at the large instruments purchased in March...

As expected of March, the family's savings are too fast!

Chapter 183 The Future Comes Soon

It took Ning Zi a whole day to visit the entire underground laboratory.

In addition to the fact that the entire underground laboratory is indeed large enough, it is also necessary to be familiar with the use of various instruments and equipment and to be able to understand the results.Although he does not need to operate most of the instruments himself, he must understand the functions of these instruments and equipment, because this part of the content cannot be bypassed when making reports at the World Astronomy High-end Forum.

When faced with questions, if you can't answer even the most basic questions, although Ning Zi doesn't care much, it doesn't match March's plan.

Fortunately, for Ning Zi, there is no harm in learning more.And in fact, the process does not make people feel tired.

After all, there is a cute little cat named Sanyue by her side, and with all the biosecurity measures around her almost perfected, and with Sanyue in control of all the monitoring and security facilities in the base, this little cat doesn't mind talking directly to Ning Zi, Rather than through the form of Penguin software.

In short, March is always extremely rigorous in dealing with such issues.

"The three-dimensional structure chip really wants to disclose the technology to them?"

"Meow, of course. You must make full use of all resources. At this time, if you spend your own resources to promote the upgrading of chip technology, no matter whether it is a big account or a small account, it will not be worth it. Except for some core technologies, others can be made public, and we propose The conditions are extremely harsh, and there are only 17 semiconductor companies in the world that can meet the conditions, as long as these 17 companies are grasped, they will give us whatever they want in the future."

"You're too optimistic, March. They'll rebel."

"Meow, resistance is inevitable. Many terms in the conditions I designed are controversial, giving them many loopholes that can be exploited. Their legal department will agree to it after research, but what does it matter? Strong is The hard truth is that all human moral norms and universal codes of conduct are based on a powerful force.

As long as they give us what we need most now, when they want to take advantage of those loopholes to get back everything that should belong to them, they will find that it is just a good expectation, and everything will not return to their former self. A time when you can ask for anything.

Then they will understand that the rules of this world are actually like this.If you want to break the rules set by the strong, you will eventually have to shed blood. They are reluctant to shed blood, so they can only choose to spend money to eliminate disasters. "

"Uh...what if you underestimated their determination?"

"Meow, this involves a collective will, the will of capital and the will of civilization. To sum it up, as long as we develop according to the predetermined steps, as long as we get the rhythm right, we can combine the collective will of mankind, the will of capital and the will of civilization. To put it simply, they will not be able to raise the determination to resist at all, because both the collective will and the will of capital cannot help being frightened.

In the balance of capital will, they will find that they have not waited for the right time for the outbreak.Maybe it wasn't until after the review that they found out that every previous decision was the best time, but they had already missed it, and in the end they could only accept the fact that they were behind.

You have never experienced the era of technological civilization wars and chaos, and you can't understand what kind of dimensionality reduction blow it is when one ethnic group has mastered alien colonization technology, while other ethnic groups are still trapped on the earth.Of course, you can imagine that even if the earth is smashed to pieces, it would be an advantage for one ethnic group to have a backup development base that other ethnic groups cannot reach. "

"But the question is can we really solve the problem of interstellar migration within ten years?"

"Meow, there is no need for interstellar immigration. As long as our mothership has the ability to cruise in the solar system, it is enough. As long as a complete industrial chain is in place and all resources are put into production, according to the shipbuilding process that has been experienced before, the relevant industrialization system After the construction is completed, it will be even easier to build a space carrier than the current aircraft carrier.

The bottleneck is only in material manufacturing.This is why I suggest developing robotics first.Facts have proved that industrial robots are the most powerful weapon to propel mankind into the cosmic age. They can not only undertake the construction of motherships, but also various professional robots can adapt to the various harsh environments of the planet at the fastest speed, becoming the best helper for planetary transformation .

In fact, it only takes five years of industrial preparation, and with China's mobilization and resource-raising capabilities, it is not a big problem to launch six to eight deep-space-class space cruising spacecraft a year.Oh, by the way, a deep-space-class cruising spacecraft can carry 2 people under normal conditions, and the load can support a year without calling at the port.Moreover, it also has the ability to enter the medium space at any time.

There are also Dragon series spacecraft that can be used in the atmosphere. Although the Dragon series was originally designed to be used in the civil aviation field, its biggest feature is that it can quickly complete landing and liftoff without airport support under extreme circumstances.Moreover, the ability to continue flying is extremely powerful. After all, it is embedded with anti-gravity materials, so it can theoretically float in the sky all the time.

The biggest problem with this thing is that its speed is too slow, but it can stay in space for a short time to provide supplies for space cruisers, and it can also maintain vigilance in the air for a long time. A few ships can achieve global coverage early warning. In critical situations It can be used for emergency launch to undertake the satellite communication function, and belongs to the universal spacecraft.

In addition, the new drone designed with new materials can reach a maximum speed of fifteen times the speed of sound... Wait, wait, wait.Any idea why I'm confident I can achieve these in the fastest time?Because there are ready-made manufacturing drawings and material supplies, you can't believe the potential of Huaxia's explosion.

In fact, after a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics of all human groups on the earth, your biggest advantage is that as long as the boss is not a cake, as long as you can really achieve distribution according to work, and you can get a matching income after doing the work, more than 80.00% of the Chinese people It is really possible to overcome the natural inertia and desperately exchange for more survival resources.Meow... this is indeed too scary. "

Ning Zi found that in the relatively closed laboratory, San Yue's words obviously increased.

He didn't quite know whether it was because the two parties were more familiar, he had been recognized by the cat, or intelligent life also had communication needs and a sense of environmental security.

But none of this matters.

Because these analyzes really made him look forward to the future.

Whether it is the Flying Dragon in the atmosphere, or the deep-space spacecraft that can cruise in the solar system, if it can be built after five years of preparation, it means that he can take Lu Xiaoya to the universe before the age of 30. Star.

The ultimate romance of a man of science and technology.

The most important thing is that when the entire solar system is filled with Chinese-made manned spacecraft that shuttle around and perform scientific research, it is self-evident who has the final say on the small broken ball.

This means that in his lifetime, he may really be able to transform a suitable planet in all aspects according to his theory.

The artificial big light bulb simulating the sun makes the planet have a suitable temperature in a proper orbit, so that the robot can plant various plants, dig rivers, lakes and seas, make an overall plan for the planet's environment and atmospheric movement, and finally adjust the planet properly through the big light bulb Angular velocity, so as to achieve the gravitational environment close to the earth...

As long as he can successfully transform a planet within his lifetime, it means that mankind can officially enter the cosmic era.

This is very possible.

Because the March database also has a set of life chip maintenance technology, which is taken out before entering the universe, at least it can guarantee his life span of more than 150 years.In other words, he still has more than a century to harvest these fruits.

Thinking about it a little bit makes Ning Zi, an indifferent and cold-blooded guy, feel a little excited.

Wait, what he just asked was about [-]D chips, why did he suddenly talk about space and conquest?

This cat...

But after Ning Zi thought about it, compared with what they were about to do, that small chip was indeed not that important.To put it bluntly, the principle of March has always been that self-developed technology is enough, and the rest is handed over to others, anyway, it will still be theirs in the end.

After all, the logic of March is always that others may win, but it must not lose even a dime.This is probably the stubbornness in March's character...

So Ning Zi responded cautiously: "Well, I think all your predictions are correct."

"Meow, of course, it's not just about the prospect, the authorization of the three-dimensional structure chip is also for the present. What kind of opponent is a good opponent? Of course, it is a loose opponent. Other conditions can be adjusted, but only the exclusive SB series EDA The rights will not be adjusted, which also means that as long as the semiconductor companies get on the car, they can only use the SB series EDA in the future.

From a long-term perspective, the design of three-dimensional structure chips must rely on the software provided by us for a long time, even permanently; from a recent perspective, this will make the three major EDA companies break with other semiconductor companies that joined us .In the future, the world's semiconductor field will be a competition between two markets, the new structure combining silicon and carbon and the traditional silicon-based chip.

Of course, the final result must be that the new structure will completely occupy the entire high-end market.We don't need to spend any additional resources in this process, because the competition is between the current opponents.Of course, we only need to keep updating the SB series of EDA products to ensure that our product computing power utilization rate, template update and other levels are slightly ahead of the other three, which happens to be what I am good at.See, this is the future you like, isn't it? "

Ning Zi hesitated for a moment, then concluded, "You mean dog eat dog?"

"Meow, that's right, dog eats dog. The uncertainty of the question is, who will be the loyal old dog of the lovely cat master in the end? It's worth looking forward to, isn't it?

Look, I am such a kind-hearted cat master. I am afraid that the heavy paws will cause some companies to close down and so many people will lose their jobs; I am also afraid that they will not develop, so I always hope to give good things to others. Many people share, are you right? "

Ning Zi was startled, looked away from the heavy manual, and subconsciously glanced at the kitten next to her, kind-hearted cat master?Well, maybe it’s just that artificial intelligence has a little misunderstanding of kindness, and artificial intelligence cannot be omniscient, which is probably the proof.

But Ning Zi still answered with certainty: "Yes!"
