Reborn in 2000 as a scholar

Listening to Lin Jinqi uttering the three key words "chip", "communication standard" and "operating system", everyone's faces became heavy.When the smart phone appeared, the mobile phone became an Internet smart terminal device from an ordinary communication device.And with the rise of the mobile Internet and the emergence of a large number of smart devices, a mobile phone can undertake more and more functions.

According to the vision of some scientists, the mobile phone in the future will be a portable terminal device that can distinguish the identity of human beings and undertake most of the work of human beings.In the foreseeable future, if you lose your mobile phone, it is equivalent to losing your wallet, ID card, keys and mobile phone at the same time in this era.Just imagine it a little bit, and you'll see how horrific this is.And how to become a powerful country in that era?Chips, communication standards and operating systems are obviously the key.

The degree of burning money in the semiconductor industry is no longer affordable by a country, so semiconductors are considered to be one of the most successful industries in the global division of labor.However, in the global division of labor in semiconductors, China's position is still very low.It's not that Huaxia can't produce chips, but the chips produced are far behind the international mainstream chip demand, so Huaxia chip companies are not well-known in the world.But this does not mean that China's chip industry is lagging behind as a whole. Some of China's chips are still internationally competitive, but in the field of core chips or key chips, China's chip companies do not seem to be that strong.

Compared with the backward chip industry in the world, Huaxia Communications' influence in the international communications industry is growing.In fact, this has a lot to do with the cheap and high-quality equipment of Huaxia Communication Company, so the communication equipment of Huaxia Communication Company is very popular in Africa or other small and medium-sized countries.Even many developed countries will buy it. After all, the budget is limited, who doesn't love cheap and high-quality products?

The formulation of communication standards generally depends on two data, one is the number of your experts in the relevant associations, because more experts can endorse you, proving that your standards are ahead of other countries; the other is the market share of your equipment, The larger the share, the greater the right to speak. Otherwise, others have worked hard to formulate a standard, and the largest manufacturer of communication equipment in the world will say that I do not support it, which will become a joke.

The communication standard has always been the place where the two major alliances of the United States and Europe compete. In the 1G to 2G era, the CDMA standard of the United States and the GSM standard of Europe are fighting to the death. Finally kicked out the European standard.In the 2.5G era, as the world's largest telecom market, Huaxia took telecom operators as the entry point, started to deploy in the 3G era, and finally got the right to speak in the 4G era.

In the coming 5G era, China's communication providers are not asking for a greater right to speak, but to compete with the United States for dominance.If it wins, China will at least have the lead in the two generations of 5G and 6G, and even have a certain advantage in the 7G era.But if it loses, then Huaxia must continue to endure the US's leadership in communication standards.This is not good for China's rise and national security, so China must fight for it.

As for the software industry, due to the fact that the Horizon Interactive Entertainment Group is more variable in this era, Huaxia has the strength to compete with European and American countries in terms of software.Even in the field of operating systems, the Kirin mobile operating system of Horizon Company has been divided into thirds with Android and iOS, and there is a tendency to further encroach on the market of the latter two; but in the field of desktop operating system software, the Kirin system is obviously dominated The suppression of Microsoft's Windows family can only be compared with Apple's OS system and Linux system; fortunately, the server system, the dragon system, the brother of the Kirin system, can't find Unix and other systems.

However, in addition to the two major segments of the operating system and application software, the entire software industry can also be subdivided into entertainment software, professional software, office software, industrial software, and other fields.In these subfields, industrial software is undoubtedly the most important, because it is related to the degree of industrial development of a country.

In the 1980s, Huaxia tried to get a CNC machine tool that was the most advanced at that time, and almost all the people in the country offered it there as a treasure.It turned out that there was only a problem with the industrial software corresponding to this machine tool, and it turned out to be a problem for the Chinese people at that time.Later, just to solve this software problem, the country spent a lot of precious foreign exchange.

But until now, basically most of the large equipment manufacturers or large projects have their own proprietary industrial software.For example, for an automobile production line, there may be dozens or even dozens of sets of industrial software attached to it.Although large enterprises can develop their own industrial software, with the deepening of the international division of labor and the increasing demand of small and medium-sized enterprises, general-purpose industrial software has also begun to emerge.Since this type of software is aimed at heavy industrial customers, the profits are very high.Moreover, since this type of software can determine the standards of an enterprise, a large industrial software vendor can actually influence the industry standards of a certain industry.

Among all the industrial software, the most valued by the manufacturing industry is the so-called "4C industrial software".The 4C industrial software is: CAD (Computer Aided Design), CAE (Computer Aided Engineering), CAPP (Computer Aided Process Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing).Basically, a conclusion can be drawn from the names of the four types of software. 4C industrial software covers the whole process of an industrial product from design to manufacturing.

For simple manufacturing industries, the value of 4C industrial software is indeed not great.But if it reaches the level of CNC machine tools and aircraft carriers, the value of 4C industrial software will be very great.With the cooperation of these four kinds of software, the manufacturer can completely simulate the manufacture of a CNC machine tool or an aircraft carrier on the computer.They can be modified and tested on a computer without actually manufacturing them.To know how high the cost of CNC machine tools or aircraft carriers is, no manufacturer has the extra budget for you to test.It can be said that all designs have been tested to be feasible before actual construction begins.Even how to make it, the computer will help you simulate and determine it.

Moreover, in addition to the 4Cs of industrial software, there are corresponding industrial software in the follow-up fields including logistics and so on.Just because industrial software is so powerful, industrial software is the "king" in the entire application software industry.It's a pity that Huaxia is almost blank in this field.Although Horizon Software Development Company is also developing such software, compared with operating systems and other application software, Horizon Software Company's industrial software is still a younger brother in the eyes of global industrial software vendors.

"Now that we have figured out the real purpose of the Americans, should we choose to compromise to buy a little more time for our mobile phone manufacturers, or simply give up illusions and directly fight the Americans with live ammunition? " someone asked.

"My take is, give up the fantasy."

Lin Jinqi knew that later generations of Americans raided ZTE Corporation and almost bankrupted ZTE Corporation; and then raided Huawei. If Huawei hadn’t been prepared, these two “blitz battles” by the Americans in the field of communication equipment would have almost cost China a few dollars. The little advantage accumulated in ten years was completely wiped out.It's just that Huawei's preparations are still not sufficient, so even if Huawei withstood the US blitzkrieg, the price it paid was not low.

"Since we all know where our conflicts lie, and we also know that this conflict will eventually be resolved, why should we have any illusions? This is a war that is bound to happen. Instead of thinking about sacrificing some interests to appease, then It's better to be 'ready' to defend against invasion."

Members of the Senate would not make a final decision just because of Lin Jinqi's passionate speech, but Lin Jinqi felt that he had done everything he could, so he took the X100 and returned to Xuanwu Base immediately after announcing the adjournment.And Professor He and General Wang did not rest all night, waiting for Lin Jinqi to come back to report the situation.Lin Jinqi talked about what happened at the meeting, and also expressed his views on the "must have a war" between China and the United States in the field of mobile phones.

"If the computer opened the prelude to the third industrial revolution of mankind, then the smartphone may be the fourth. Although the widespread use of smartphones does not become the first and second industrial revolutions like the widespread use of steam engines and electricity But it also means that we can’t lose in this field. Because if we lose on the surface, we may lose a lot behind, and finally lose the whole.” Professor He agrees with Lin Jinqi’s views very much. "But the problem now is that the cards in our hands are not good. If this game starts rashly, the chance of our failure is too great."

"Actually, it's not as bad as you think, Mr. He. Although the cards on the table are not good enough, we still have a few trump cards."

Lin Jinqi is very clear that in addition to making mobile phones, Hua Rong and Rice in this plane are also very interested in the industrial chain related to mobile phones and communication equipment, so both companies have their own layout.So even if the United States suddenly launches a blitzkrieg, there are at least two main forces in China on this plane that can resist.And the remaining Wowei and Amber also have their own hole cards in some key originals, so these two can be regarded as reserves.

In addition, Lin Jinqi also knows another new force besides the four major domestic mobile phone brands.This can be regarded as a miracle of domestic mobile phone brands, because they basically do not do domestic market.As we all know, Huaxia's smartphones were actually born in the middle and low-end mobile phones, but with their own development, they gradually got rid of the impression of "cottage phones" or "low-end phones".But this brand is happy to make low-end mobile phones, because their main customers are African people who are not rich.

Chuangyuan Mobile, which has almost monopolized two-thirds of the mobile phone market in Africa, also has its own procurement chain. Although the product quality of his procurement chain is relatively average, it is quite effective as a key surprise soldier.The important thing is that Chuangyuan's suppliers are basically located in areas with relatively more skilled workers but relatively cheap wages. If you can help him upgrade his technology, Chuangyuan's supply chain is still very capable.

"In fact, in addition to focusing on the development of carbon-based chips, Horizon Electronics is also upgrading the existing silicon-based chip technology and process. Whether it is a photolithography machine or a supporting photoresist, etc., we are developing It's just that we haven't brought it out, and we also have great advantages in passive components, but we didn't integrate domestic suppliers when purchasing."
