Silicon Valley
Vol 2 Chapter 335: Skynet project?
readx(); Henry subsequently reorganized. Fairchild Semiconductor’s artificial intelligence talents were all transferred to Alpha, and Alpha’s original staff were all transferred to Fairchild Semiconductor. In other words, the future processors will be designed and produced by Fairchild Semiconductor, while Alpha will conduct research on robots!
Henry merged Alpha company into WilliamsX company and faded out of people's sight since then! The CEO of Fairchild Semiconductor is served by Richard, and all Alpha's funds are transferred to Fairchild Semiconductor. Henry will redefine and inject capital into Alpha!
Henry’s action, the outside world thought that Alpha had merged into Fairchild Semiconductor!
Many media wanted to interview, Henry thought about it and let the abc TV station come.
The fertilizer does not flow into the field of outsiders...
Abc reporter asked: "Mr. Williams, what is the purpose of your acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor?"
"Reproduce the former glory of Fairchild Semiconductor!" Henry said solemnly, but there seemed to be a slight scent of pretense in his tone.
Abc reporter heard this answer and couldn't help being taken aback.
"What about Alpha? Did Alpha merge into Fairchild Semiconductor and become a subsidiary of Fairchild Semiconductor? Will the Alpha brand be used in the future?" The abc reporter asked several questions.
Henry smiled and replied: "First of all, Alpha is not incorporated into Fairchild Semiconductor. You can treat these two companies as independent companies without direct contact. However, the Alpha brand will still be used, and Alpha will "License the brand name to Fairchild Semiconductor for use" Henry paused and said, "The name of our next new processor is called'AlphaPower'."
"Mr. Williams, we all know that AMD and Intel are both established by the "Eight Rebellions" from Fairchild Semiconductor. Then, you acquired Fairchild Semiconductor. Do you have something else? What's your intention?"
"Hehe, how do you put it?" Henry couldn't help but laughed, "Uh, it's a little bit like that. Fairchild Semiconductor is compared with AMD and Intel. Naturally, it seems to be higher in generation!"
"……"
That night, abc TV station's interview video with Henry was broadcast.
After reading , netizens started to talk.
"Mr. Henry Williams seems to like some established companies. Last time it was Atari, this time it was Fairchild Semiconductor!"
"Henry Williams is a magical genius. He bought Atari, and Atari is now the hottest game console. He bought Fairchild Semiconductor. I can predict that Fairchild Semiconductor will surpass Intel. , To become the largest semiconductor company in the world!"
Some older netizens sighed: "I miss the original Fairchild Semiconductor Company. At its peak, it was much stronger than the current Intel Company. Most of the talents in Silicon Valley were cultivated from there!"
"……"
Intel Corporation.
"Henry Williams must have deliberately bought Fairchild Semiconductor Company! He did so, which can take advantage of us in publicity. For example, "Intel Company comes from Fairchild Semiconductor Company", "AMD Company comes from Fairchild Semiconductor Company" Listen to these words. Doesn't it sound uncomfortable!"
"This is the fact, we can't argue, and we don't need to argue. As long as the product is done well, with our Intel's reputation, our position in the semiconductor field will remain unchanged!"
"Yes, that's right!"
In a scenic Gran town 40 miles west of San Jose, Henry bought Alpha a relatively large factory with about 150,000 square meters as the company's headquarters. There, they will be engaged in the research of robots. At present, the number of Alpha company is only more than 500 people. Henry intends to expand the number of people. On the one hand, recruiting employees from outsiders, on the other hand directly acquiring a robot company.
What kind of robotics company to acquire is worth studying.
A memory in Henry's head, the robotic company acquired by Google in the previous life suddenly popped out of his mind-Boston Dynamics.
Boston Dynamics was established in 1992 by Leibert, a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Since the establishment of Boston Dynamics, the company has started research on bionic robots. And this company has been cooperating with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, and has received funding from DARPA, and has produced many shocking results. The important use is military applications.
Henry has watched the video released by Google and feels that Boston Dynamics is simply awesome, producing big dog, puppy, petman, rhex, humanoid robot Atlas. After the video is watched, call "Skynet Project"! ! !
So, for such an awesome company, Henry can't wait to acquire it.
Actually, there are companies under Henry's name that started research on robots very early. Nicholas Express has a department "Nicholas Robots", which is mainly engaged in the development of warehouse robots. However, the warehouse robot is completely different from the robot researched by Boston Dynamics. Boston Dynamics researches bionic robots, which are multi-legged robots, while Nicholas Robots researches footless robots that use wheels to move.
Obviously, the research of Boston Dynamics is more difficult. But this is not to say that Nicholas Robots will not work. In Henry's view, the commercialization of footless robots is easier. The development of multi-legged robots is very difficult, and I am afraid that results will not be seen for a long time. How to stand and walk while maintaining stability requires a lot of problems to be solved.
The development of robots has many technical connections with unmanned aircraft and unmanned vehicles. The development of robots can accumulate technology. Once the technology is mature, the development of unmanned aircraft and unmanned vehicles will be a matter of course.
Henry sent someone to buy Boston Dynamics, while transferring Nicholas Robots to Alpha.
Concentration of technology, concentration of strength, and brainstorming can only develop faster!
Nicholas Robots can already make footless robots for transporting goods, but the accuracy is not good enough, they often break down, they are not very practical, and they need to be researched!
Boston Dynamics was surprised when it suddenly received Henry Williams' offer. In fact, the development of robots, especially the biomimetic multi-legged robots ~www.readwn.com~ and the robots used in the military, are not making money at all. Boston Dynamics has always been supported by the military, otherwise, the company would be dead. Leibert and others do it for their dreams and sincerely like to develop bionic robots. Making money is only second. Therefore, they faced Henry's acquisition and undertook to invest heavily in research and development, and they agreed very decisively.
Henry then spent only 100 million US dollars to complete the wholly-owned acquisition of Boston Dynamics. After that, Boston Dynamics was merged into Alpha, and the previous name was cancelled. After five days, all personnel and equipment of Boston Dynamics were transferred to Alpha.
The Nicholas Robots company moved faster, and the day after Henry gave the order, they started to move. Similarly, after Nicholas Robots was incorporated into Alpha, the previous company name was also cancelled and the Alpha brand was used uniformly!
Robot, Terminator, Skynet Project!
Henry shook his head, whatever it is...
(I finished five shifts today, tomorrow?)
(To be continued.)
