Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

United States, New York.

The U.S. IT World Conference, which is held every year, is being held in full swing in New York.

As in the past few years, the organizers of the conference are the US Computer Association and the US Semiconductor Association.

In addition to discussing the development of computers in the United States and the world, the theme of this conference is to discuss the challenges from the Xia Kingdom.

Computer development in the United States has a history of 40 years, while Xia Guo only introduced computers from the West in the late 1990s and has its own computer market.

As far as the technology of both parties is concerned, Xia Guo's computer technology is definitely not worth mentioning.

Because Xia Guo did not have a complete computer industry, and even lacked professional computer talents.

But since 2001, in some areas of computer hardware, Xia Guo has achieved a qualitative breakthrough.

The theme of the conference is carbon crystal storage.

The discussion topic was proposed by Seagate and has been recognized by many participating companies.

Seagate and other hard disk manufacturers wrote in the report discussed at the meeting: "Carbon crystal hard disks have seriously affected the market of mechanical hard disks, and its mass production will bring a devastating blow to American hard disk companies."

"In addition, as a terminal product for storing data, carbon crystal hard drives will bring a great threat to the data security of the United States."

Any reason is high-sounding.

Everyone knows that it is the word of interest. If Seagate has the technology of carbon crystal storage, it must be a big propaganda, saying that this technology is much more advanced than mechanical hard drives, and immediately upgrade its own technology to promote carbon storage to the world. Crystal hard drive technology.

There are some companies that compete with Seagate, Western Digital, etc., and even wait to see Seagate's jokes at the It conference.

But there was a mention of data security, which made the General Assembly have to respond.

Because data security is the most advocated concept in the United States.

Seagate first proposed that if the carbon crystal storage cannot prove the security of its own data, it cannot be sold in the market.

This proposal seems very domineering, but it is very in line with the character of the United States.

Because all the computer technology and the rules of behavior in the world are made by the Americans.

The United States has many competent departments and professional associations in the computer field.

These competent departments and associations are always watching the market and require all related products sold on the market to comply with relevant rules.

Therefore, Seagate's proposal has been approved by the General Assembly.

This trick is actually quite vicious.

How can we prove that the carbon crystal hard disk does not violate the relevant rules and requirements of data security?

The only way is to submit all the basic data of carbon crystal hard drives to the relevant departments and industry associations in the United States.

You have submitted all the technical data, and the carbon crystal hard drive will no longer have any technical secrets.

Related manufacturers in the United States can also use this technology for production.

Submitting relevant technical information to prove the safety of the product is only the first policy that the US Computer Association has come up with.

If Changtian Technology rejects this request, the computer industry in the United States, which is in a strong position, still has many cards to play.

For example, it is illegal to identify carbon crystal hard drives in the industry, and relevant industries or enterprises are not encouraged to purchase their products.

This trick is the snake hitting seven inches.

In the current hard disk market, most of the buyers are PC companies, not ordinary consumers.

And these PC companies are inextricably linked with the United States.

After all, the United States holds the highest voice in the IT industry. From CPU to memory to motherboards, the United States has its own industry norms and access licenses.

If Changtian Technology does not follow the requirements of this meeting, the US IT Industry Association may request PC companies to suspend the purchase of Changtian Technology's carbon crystal hard drives as the case may be, and reserves the right to take further measures.

In the US IT industry, there are many companies that compete with each other.

For example, Intel and AMD, Seagate, Western Digital and Maxtor, as well as major capital-controlled motherboard manufacturers in the curved area, etc.

But when it comes to the outside world, everyone is almost in solidarity.

Because these people's brains are very clear, the 21st century must be the era of computers and the Internet, as well as the era of Americans.

The computer technology that can control and master global wealth can only be in the hands of the Americans.

For the entire US IT industry, everyone believes that the development of carbon crystal storage by Changtian Technology may be just an accidental discovery. This does not affect the global leadership of the US IT industry, nor will it hurt the global hegemony of the US computer industry. status.

Americans are very confident in getting Changtian Technology.

After all, in the 1980s, although Toyo's semiconductor industry started late, it surpassed the United States in a short period of time, and its products were also sold to the United States on a large scale.

At that time, Toyo's chips occupied almost the entire U.S. market. For example, Casio-led computer manufacturing accounted for 80% of the U.S. electronics market.

At that time, the chip test results of Hewlett-Packard Company in the United States indicated that Toyo's chip yield rate was much higher than that of the United States.

In addition, Toyo also led Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, NCE and other companies at that time, and jointly funded the establishment of the DRAM manufacturing method innovation project.

It is this project that almost brought Toyo back to the position of semiconductor hegemony and pulled the semiconductors of the entire United States into the water.

The United States in the 1980s absolutely did not allow such a thing to happen.

The U.S. Semiconductor Association directly filed a dumping lawsuit against Toyo’s semiconductor industry, and urged relevant U.S. departments to initiate a Section 301 investigation.

After the 301 investigation was launched, the United States hoped that Toyo could make huge compensation to the semiconductor industry in the United States.

While bargaining, the United States used its own monetary policy and powerful influence~www.readwn.com~ to force Toyo to sign the Plaza Accord.

After the signing of the agreement, Toyo's economic advantage over the United States came to nothing, and the myth that a single Tokyo land price could buy the entire United States was also shattered.

With the signing of the Plaza Accord, Toyo's semiconductor myth has come to an end.

The only remaining companies are also half-dead, but these half-dead companies have actually supported Toyo's semiconductor advantages for the next decade or two (compared to other countries).

The United States itself also needs cheap semiconductor products. If it does not let Toyo do this, it will definitely let other countries or regions come.

In this context, the semiconductor industry in South Korea and the Bend region began to rise.

Especially in the curved area of ​​Xia Guo, TSMC grew up against this background.

From simple machinery to help Intel and other companies produce chips, to the final independent innovation.

However, the United States is much more assured of Wanwan than Toyo, so the semiconductor industry in the Wanwan region has had a brilliant development in the next 40 years.
