Chapter 162 Common Faults of Young People 【Subscription】

"How is the research on the sub-regional market going? Is there any plan for Huawei to release a new flagship phone in the second half of the year?"

Liganife.

Pingguo spacecraft headquarters building.

On the viewing platform with the best location, Kulas, who was holding a glass of red wine, gazed into the distance, admiring the scenery while not letting his assistant Mel next to him talk about work.

Obviously he was in a good mood at this time.

Mel must be fully prepared to appear here at this time, so he naturally did not hesitate to face Kulas's inquiry, and then opened a report file in his hand and said: "According to the latest news we have, in the second half of this year, Warwick and Xiao Honey has no plans to release a new flagship phone."

"It's a really good opportunity for us."

Seeing Kulas turn around and sit down, Mel took the initiative to hand the document in front of him.

Kuras didn't intend to look at the documents, he put the wine glass to his mouth and took a sip, and then asked another question.

"When will our carbon-based chips be in place?"

"Currently, TSMC is stepping up the deployment of production capacity for our OEM production, which should not affect the use of new mobile phones in the second half of the year." Mel replied casually.

"very good."

"This time, all aspects are beneficial to us, and the share of the high-end mobile phone market in Asia will definitely be regained."

After reconfirming the company's layout, Kulas said with confidence, feeling much more comfortable than before.

In order to restore the decline in the high-end mobile phone market in Asia last year, Kulas decided to strive to launch the first carbon-based chip mobile phone in the second half of this year, so as to compete with Huawei Xiaomi and other solid-state battery mobile phone brands.

Mobile phone batteries are different from power batteries.

Improving battery life alone is not an unavoidable advantage for mobile phone users.

With the two core points of having a stronger carbon-based chip and maintaining the original price, it is believed that there will be many users who are willing to buy back Pingguo mobile phones.

The key point is that Huawei and Xiaomi have no plans to release new mobile phones in the second half of the year, which is more conducive to the promotion and sales of Pingguo carbon-based mobile phones. Even if the sales volume is still not as good as that of Huawei, it will definitely show a significant recovery compared to last year. situation.

And that's exactly what Kuras wants to see most.

"Sit down and have a drink with me. When our carbon-based chip mobile phone goes on the market, there should be no more arguments from the board of directors."

Speaking of this, maybe Kulas was interested, and immediately invited Mel to sit down, and asked the service staff not far away to open a new bottle of wine.

Last year, due to the sodium-ion battery incident and the failure to purchase solid-state batteries, the sales of the company's smart devices dropped sharply, and the impact was not limited to the sub-regional market.

Although he still serves as the CEO of Pingguo, the company's board of directors has some criticisms about this.

Now as long as the carbon-based chip mobile phone is launched to restore the situation, next year they will be able to get the solid-state mobile phone battery produced by Xingyuan Battery. After all, the total price of the production battery for that year has already been paid. In comparison, an absolute advantage will be re-formed.

Relying on carbon-based chips and solid-state batteries, it holds the top position in the high-end mobile phone market.

Mel naturally knew that the boss was in a good mood at this time, so he didn't lose face at this time, and immediately sat down generously after hearing the invitation.

And took the red wine and glass from the service staff, and poured the wine for Kulas himself.

But it's worth noting that even though it's not a good time to say bad things, Mel still thinks there are some things that need to be taken seriously.

So after the two clinked glasses, they talked about future technology again.

"boss."

"About the development of quantum computers in future technology, do we need to pay more attention or formulate corresponding plans?"

"No need." Hearing that, Kulas waved his hand.

He raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass before explaining with a smile.

"If Future Technology also chooses to develop carbon-based chips, Xu Lei's ability may really be able to overcome the production process of carbon-based chips in a short period of time."

"Let TSMC and Sanxing Electronics still lose their heads in the semiconductor market."

"It's just that they are too conceited to choose the quantum realm."

When Kulas said this, he seemed to be expressing his feelings, and deliberately paused for a few seconds to add a few words of his own opinion.

"That's what happens to young people."

"After a few successes, I think there is nothing difficult. I always want to try projects with a high degree of difficulty, but I don't know that I will often be educated by the cruel reality in the end."

"Quantum theory dictates that its chips cannot be installed in mobile phones like traditional silicon-based chips. Its device form will be very large and has strict requirements on the environment. They want to commercialize quantum chips to crush carbon-based chips. Totally impossible."

After hearing Kuras's superficial understanding of quantum chips, Mel was relieved a lot.

As long as future science and technology cannot develop a real quantum computer, the industry status of Pingguo's carbon-based chip mobile phone will not be affected.

"I understand boss."

"I will often negotiate with it on the promotion of TSMC."

Putting an end to work for the time being, after Mel finished speaking, she finished the red wine in the glass again.

This made Kulas's happy laughter continue to be heard on the viewing platform.

……

……

Let's talk about the domestic side.

Although everyone's concerns about future technology have not stopped in the next few days, they think that Xu Lei's rash entry into the field of quantum computing is like stepping half of his body into a black hole.

Not only is it difficult to achieve any results for the project, but it may also drag down the entire company.

It was only for the relevant remarks on the entire network, and the follow-up Future Technology did not make any response.

Due to the coherent nature of quantum computing, the accuracy of calculations can only be guaranteed when it is close to absolute zero, so manufacturing a low-temperature environment has become a more important step in manufacturing quantum computers.

At present, the major forces use dilution refrigerators to provide low-temperature environments, but there are very few manufacturers in the world that can manufacture such equipment.

And they are all in the hands of overseas companies.

With the special status of Future Technology in the world, it may not be easy to obtain this kind of dilution refrigerator.

However, what Xu Lei wants to manufacture is a quantum computer that can operate at least a million bits, and the effect of the dilution refrigerator alone cannot be satisfied.

This required developing a more powerful refrigerator from scratch.

To ensure that quantum computing can be carried out smoothly in a low-temperature environment without radiation interference from external factors.

This is also the reason why Xu Lei brought Gu Sanlin in the field of special materials into the project team.

Besides.

Xu Lei also arranged a new task for Liang Fuxing's team, asking them to develop an ultra-low temperature control chip. By interconnecting this chip with bits, the bit signals are transmitted to the secondary core outside.

Minimize the heat generated by the wiring.

Because to achieve so many steps, a lot of special equipment and materials are needed, and some of them cannot even go through formal channels.

In this case, although the project team members have been finalized, the project cannot be officially started, and we have to wait until everything is ready.

of course.

Xu Lei is not idle in his free time.

In addition to normal eating and sleeping, basically all the core drawings are perfected.

After all, with such a thing, Xiao Chengyong and Yuan Zhi will be more handy when they are assistants.

Noon today.

In the restaurant of the future science and technology headquarters building.

By the window, I saw Xu Lei and Chen Shihe sitting here, taking advantage of the meal time to learn about the global trends in the past few days.

"Mr. Xu."

"At present, netizens and many overseas forces still believe that we cannot overcome quantum computing, saying that it is impossible for quantum chips to be commercialized to serve the public."

For some reason, even though they were talking about company matters, Chen Shihe liked the current atmosphere very much.

YouQi watched Xu Lei eat, and he always felt at ease.

It's a completely different feeling from being in the office.

So much so that when explaining these situations, his eyes were all on Xu Lei, and he didn't know that the food on the table in front of him was cold.

In the past few days, Xu Lei has had little contact with the outside world in order to improve the core blueprints, so he is quite curious about the movements of various forces in the world, and wants to know what kind of response they will make after Future Technology announces the development of quantum computers.

In this case, Xu Lei's attention was all on Chen Shihe's voice, and he didn't notice her gaze.

After listening to all these words, Xu Lei put down his chopsticks temporarily, and said with a confident smile on his face: "Of course I understand that quantum chips cannot be popularized by civilians."

"But what we are going to do is the cloud approach, which directly allows users to abandon traditional chips and directly access quantum computers to deal with problems."

"By that time, the equipment that everyone will use will not be so much a smart terminal as a monitor."

Listening to Xu Lei's plans for the future industry, Chen Shihe couldn't help but fall into longing.

Imagine the changes in all walks of life in the quantum era in your mind.

It wasn't until Xu Lei's voice rang next to his ears again that Chen Shihe came back to his senses.

"By the way, do Pingguo and Tesla have any new moves?"

"Pingguo has already planned to officially launch a carbon-based chip mobile phone in the second half of the year. There is no movement from Tesla, but Ma Sien seems to focus on Starlink, and should continue to launch satellites this year."

Facing Xu Lei's inquiry, Chen Shihe quickly told everything he knew.

After losing the sub-regional market, Tesla has already been seriously injured. It is quite normal to have no new actions, and Future Technology has already begun to study quantum communication, so there is no need to worry about Ma Sien's Starlink project.

On the contrary, Pingguo can't wait to launch a carbon-based chip mobile phone to regain the market, which aroused Xu Lei's strong interest, and then murmured thoughtfully: "If our quantum terminal equipment can be launched by the end of the year, I believe that Lao Ku's face must be very good-looking."
