Great Country Academician

Chapter 978: Slander and powerless struggle~

Since the journal "Exploration" published two papers related to carbon-based chips, the silicon-based semiconductor industry has been like a volcano erupting from the seabed, setting off a huge wave.

Carbon-based chip technology has broken through, and silicon-based chips are about to come to an end.

This earth-shaking news was made public by Professor Xu Chuan, the most famous professor in the academic world today. This is explosive news for any country in the world.

In the past few days, both Western countries led by the United States and private capital that has mastered the silicon-based semiconductor industry chain have fallen into a panic.

Almost everyone is worried. Capitalists are worried that carbon-based chips will replace silicon-based chips, and that carbon-based semiconductors will occupy the market of silicon-based semiconductors, and they will lose their monopoly position and endless wealth.

And ordinary people are also worried that they will be laid off by companies at any time.

After all, once the silicon-based chip and silicon-based semiconductor industries begin to end, the capital that occupies this huge market will inevitably withdraw from it.

And layoffs are often one of the most effective methods.

The market is no longer vast, so what are so many people doing?

For a time, the entire group that relies on the silicon-based semiconductor industry for their livelihood was in a panic.

From ordinary employees to middle and senior management of the company, and even the working emperors or capital with shares at the top, they are all afraid of the future.

However, at this time, doubts about the breakthrough of carbon-based chip technology emerged like mushrooms after rain.

The first to raise relevant doubts was the world-renowned semiconductor technology and science magazine "JSTS Journal".

The purpose of this journal is to provide a forum and a place for communication and discussion for R\u0026D personnel engaged in a wider range of integrated circuit technology to improve the overall ultra-large-scale integrated circuit technology.

The editor-in-chief of JSTS said in an interview that there may be serious problems with the two papers published in "Exploration".

They jointly studied "Exploration General Journal" with Professor Hobbs Webster, a top expert in the semiconductor field at California Institute of Technology in the United States, and found that there were abnormalities in the data published on it.

For example, in the experimental data published by Exploration General Journal, the thermal design power consumption (TDP) of carbon-based chips is only 30W, while the main frequency is as high as 5.8GHz.

Even if carbon-based materials have advantages in the semiconductor field, according to the data, the finished carbon-based chips cannot achieve such exaggerated performance data.

For this reason, they also gave complete simulation calculation data and performance. According to the data of integrating 10 million carbon-based transistors per square millimeter, the performance of the simulated carbon-based chip is only less than half of that in the paper.

In short, the experimental data in the paper published in Exploration General Journal may be fabricated and exaggerated.

It has to be said that in the semiconductor field, the influence of JSTS Journal is still quite large. When this interview report came out, it immediately sparked a lot of discussion in the Semiconductor Technology and Science Forum.

In the view of many scholars or researchers engaged in silicon-based semiconductor industry research, the simulation data published by Professor Hobbs Webster of California Institute of Technology is indeed very interesting.

What level of performance can carbon-based chips achieve? Whether the experimental data in the "Exploration General Journal" are fake or not has sparked a lot of discussion at this time when it has already occupied the hot search.

And it is not just the "JSTS Journal" that has publicly questioned and expressed its position.

Regarding the experimental data in the "Exploration General Journal", many big names or top companies in the semiconductor field have stated that they are conducting research and simulation experiments, and have expressed great doubts about whether carbon-based chips can achieve this level.

Even the most authoritative journal in the semiconductor field, "IEEE", and the vice president of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers was interviewed, saying that IEEE has doubts about the experimental data in the "Exploration General Journal"

And IEEE hopes that the Xinghai Research Institute, which made this carbon-based chip, can cooperate with the investigation of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or provide basic chip samples for experimental testing.

When IEEE, the most authoritative journal in the semiconductor field, publicly expressed its views, the entire semiconductor field was boiling.

Whether in the industry or outside the industry, the discussion about carbon-based chips has become lively again.

[. A bunch of idiots! Look, I have long said that carbon-based chips can never replace silicon-based chips. This thing is like the metaverse. It is impossible to do it with the current development of science and technology! 】

【I doubt whether carbon-based chips have really been developed. After all, there are too many people researching this technology. For example, many excellent semiconductor companies in the world, such as Intel, Qualcomm, and AMD, have made almost no progress in carbon-based chips. However, an energy research institute of Xinghai Research Institute, a laboratory that has never been involved in chips, suddenly announced that it has completed carbon-based chips. Even if it was Professor Xu who made the news public, I would still be skeptical. 】

【If Professor Xu was the first author of the paper in the Exploration Journal, I might still believe it, but he was just a corresponding author. I even doubt whether he had seriously examined the experimental data in it. 】

[ε=(ο｀*)))Alas, it seems that Professor Xu is also following the old path of other journals. Such a good journal as "Exploration" actually publishes such a paper, which is a disgrace to the unified theory of strong electricity! ]

[Maybe Professor Xu did not personally review this paper? After all, he is not a scholar in the semiconductor field. Maybe "Exploration" asked outside scholars to do the review? ]

[But I don't believe he is not aware of this matter at all. ]

It has to be said that in the semiconductor field, the strength of these old companies and Western interest groups is indeed quite exaggerated.

Whether it is the media, academia, or the semiconductor industry, a large number of people, even top scholars and companies, quickly stood up to support and oppose.

In just two or three days, the rumors on the Internet, in academia and even in the industry have completely reversed.

From the initial expectations of carbon-based chips, to most people starting to question whether the experimental data in the "Exploration General Journal" paper may be fabricated.

These Western interest groups that control the world's media and the countries and companies that occupy the silicon-based semiconductor industry chain have found a breakthrough point or "smear point" that is really sharp this time.

They did not question whether the core technical problem of high-density carbon nanotube arrays in "Exploration·Materials Science" has been truly broken through.

Instead, they chose to question the carbon-based chip data in "Exploration·General Journal".

On the one hand, this paper is only Xu Chuan's nominal corresponding author, not the first author. For the outside world, this means that it may be just relying on the reputation of Professor Xu, or it is a scientific research project under his name, rather than his own research.

Even Professor Xu may not have fully understood the specific parameters, performance indicators, etc. of carbon-based chips.

After all, whether he completed it personally is two completely different concepts for the academic community and the outside world.

Although for the capital interest groups that control all this, there is not much difference between Xu Chuan's nominal corresponding author and the first author.

After all, since this guy became famous in the academic world, he has not been listed as the corresponding author in several papers, or participated in any other academic experiments that are not within the scope of his research.

The papers that listed him as the corresponding author are basically his students' graduation theses.

In this case, many people actually know that there is not much difference between listing his name as the corresponding author and the name of the sole author.

But ordinary people are not aware of this.

Confusing the public is still very beneficial to the semiconductor industry today.

At least they must give confidence to the industry and shareholders in order to support the position of silicon-based semiconductors and ensure that they will not collapse too quickly.

For Xu Chuan, it is not uncommon to encounter doubts in academic research.

Even if he has completed the proof of the three major millennium conjectures in the mathematics world, if he is lucky enough to prove the next Riemann hypothesis, he will still be questioned.

But to be honest, he has never been accused of falsifying experimental data in this life, not to mention in his previous life.

Of course, he also knew why the public opinion suddenly changed in the past two days.

The chip and semiconductor industries are the core industries of the United States. It is not an exaggeration to say that they control the lifeline of the world.

Although the oil-dollar system is critical, it is only the surface of the United States' hegemony.

To be precise, the United States did not establish its hegemony because of oil, but the United States had already established its hegemony and subsequently chose oil as an anchor.

The core of supporting hegemony is a strong military force and a booming high-tech that leads the world.

These two are the real weapons for the United States to dominate and harvest the world and support its own development.

In the field of high technology, the chip and semiconductor industries are undoubtedly the core foundation.

When this core foundation field is touched by them and even has the ability to overturn it, it would be really hell if the United States did not take action.

Discrediting the journal "Exploration" and questioning the data fraud of the papers published in "Exploration General Journal" and falsifying experimental data are just the beginning.

There will definitely be a series of combined punches in the future to target the development of carbon-based chips and carbon-based semiconductors.

No country, especially the United States, will allow its means of controlling the world to be overturned.

Even if they may be overturned in the future, at least now they will try every means to maintain their monopoly.

If the two papers "High-performance carbon-based chips based on high-density carbon nanotube arrays!" and "Methods for high-density carbon nanotube arrays based on carbon-based semiconductor materials!" were not published in the "Exploration" journal established by themselves.

Instead, they were published in academic journals controlled by the United States, such as "IEEE" or "JSTS" and other SCI journals, what would be the consequences?

It is conceivable that there is only one consequence, that is, "retraction"!

Even if these two papers are completely correct and there is no falsification of experimental data, the United States will not allow them to openly break their monopoly in the semiconductor field.

But now.

Xu Chuan's mouth curled up a smile. "Exploration" is a journal he founded himself. Although it was established not long ago, its reputation in the academic community is no less than that of old journals such as "Nature" and "Science".

More importantly, the United States has no way to deal with "Exploration".

Unless they can ban "Exploration" from being sold in the United States.

But is this possible?

Think with your ass. Even a dog sitting in the position of president cannot make such a decision.

If the old man really wants to ban the sale of "Exploration" in the United States, the first to jump out to oppose it are local scholars in the United States, and the second to jump out are major universities and high-tech enterprises.

After all, although "Exploration" has not issued many publications at present, every paper published has an extremely huge impact on the academic and even scientific communities.

It is like the artificial SEI film in the lithium battery industry. If you don't use it, your lithium battery will be greatly affected in terms of capacity, battery life, safety, etc.

So for the United States today, what they can do is to do what they are doing now, and try their best to discredit the journal "Exploration" through various channels such as the media, semiconductor industry, and academia, and question whether the experimental data of carbon-based chips published on it are true.

But does this have any impact on them?

In Xu Chuan's view, this is just the last powerless struggle of the United States and the silicon-based semiconductor industry.

As long as the two papers he published are still posted in the journal "Exploration", the influence will only grow with the passage of time, and the voices discrediting carbon-based chips will only become weaker and weaker.

However, for Xu Chuan, he is not ready to just watch the other party discredit the journal "Exploration" and carbon-based chips!

For such a simple smearing method, their ability to fight back is too much.

Moreover, this smearing behavior is related to his personal reputation and the reputation of "Exploration".

Looking at the news on the computer screen, Xu Chuan smiled, picked up his mobile phone from the table, and made a call.

"Hello, I'm Xu Chuan."

"Yes, that's right, the press conference for the finished carbon-based chip."

"It can start now!"
