Simulation: Great Power Technology

Sept. 4, Overseas, Office of Advanced Strategic Analysis.

"The situation is basically clear, they are indeed working on a fab, and it is a completely new fab. I now seriously doubt that the other party may have a technological breakthrough in the 7nm process, and this technological breakthrough is completely own. of."

"This also explains why their protection of Ye Zhou has been raised to such a level, because this person brought them not only eda, but also hardware technology!"

"In early August, they built a temporary highway in this small place called Miyagi County, and built a large number of factories near the main mountain, and the surrounding security level is very high."

"Every indication is that they must be building a new fab, and it's been a month since it started -- we're a full month behind."

The speaker was a white man named Shire, who was in charge of the overall strategic analysis of the office.

Since Yinglong eda just came out three months ago, he has not stopped his strategic analysis of Huaxia, but even in his boldest guess, he never expected that the other party would directly build a brand-new fab.

Judging from the current series of actions, it is clear that the other party is not building an ordinary fab, but a fab that may pose a danger to its own chip industry.

This also explains why the other party has been procrastinating on the negotiation.

Because they didn't plan to talk at all, just to divert their attention and cover up their true intentions.

"Charle, do you think they will succeed?"

The questioner was a black man named Nigge, the director of the intelligence department.

Charles shook his head and replied:

"I can't give you a definite answer. Technically or theoretically, they don't really have any chance of threatening us."

"However, technology and theory are just routine judgments, and you can never use routine judgments against enemies like them."

"They've given us so many surprises...from the 1950s to the present. So we can't take it lightly anyway."

Nigg turned the ring on his finger in silence, and after a while, he asked:

"Should we activate an emergency plan?"

Charles' eyes sank.

Of course he knew what Nigge was referring to by the emergency plan, but if he used it now, would it still be successful?

Even if it succeeds, does it make sense?

That factory has appeared out of thin air in just one month, and no one knows what step the equipment inside has reached.

Even if the emergency plan is really implemented successfully, without Ye Zhou, they really can't build a lithography machine?

According to the Chinese character, this should be impossible.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said:

"It doesn't make sense anymore. In their words, it's a done deal, and it's superfluous to do anything. Now all we can do is continue to monitor the situation and minimize losses."

"In addition, this matter has exceeded our purview. You need to report the situation to Congress immediately. The specific response strategy will be formulated by Congress."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Nig nodded.

Until now, he was still in a state of daze.

This is the first time he has faced such an unforeseen situation in nearly three decades of intelligence work.

When the satellite photos were thrown on his desk, he sadly found that all his previous investigations were in the wrong direction.

The opponent's real killer is not in the game at all, but hidden far away.

If only I could be more sensitive at that time.

Actually, he didn't have a chance.

It's just that this happened so quickly and so suddenly that the strategic advisor's office, who was always monitoring the other party, didn't react, let alone that he was just doing intelligence work.

In half an hour, a top-secret report was sent to the top decision-making office of the ugly country.

The slightly old man sat quietly by the side, but the man next to him who was supposed to be a staff member slapped the table hard.

"Why! Who can tell me why?! Why didn't we get the news until now? Why didn't any response to this situation before? Why is my satellite like going blind?!"

"Such a road! Such a big factory! The resolution of our satellites has reached the meter level. Is there no response to this?"

The man sitting opposite him spread his hands helplessly.

"Graham, this is not how satellites work. Our satellites are limited in number, and it is impossible to monitor every corner of each other's land."

"On the other hand, even if it was monitored in the first place, would we have any reaction?"

"Do you know how many large-scale infrastructure projects are under construction in Huaxia in a day? I can tell you that at this moment, at this second, in the early hours of the other side, there are still hundreds of thousands of them within their borders. Infrastructure projects are underway!"

"Each of these projects is more visible than that little 3-kilometer road, do we have to analyze each of these projects?"

"This time, the reason why we were able to determine the connection between this road, this factory and the chip industry was actually inferred by us after synthesizing all kinds of information. It is almost unimaginable to be able to draw a conclusion now!"

"In the last year's intelligence department, we probably didn't know what happened when they were interviewed for their chips!"

Graham waved his arms, indicating that he didn't want to hear the man's explanation.

"Now I don't want to hear this, I just want to know what else we can do! Can we start another round of restrictions on them?"

"Unfortunately, no. We've done everything we can, and there's no indication that they're using our technology, and if you want to limit the situation for no reason, there's only one outcome, and that's war. "

After listening to the man's words, Graham fell silent.

He sat down on the chair, lit a cigarette and took two hard puffs before continuing to ask:

"Then there's nothing we can do about it?"

"There are still some. We can try to reduce the loss as much as possible - although the other party is doing a fab, but from the information we currently have, they have the most 7nm-level chip manufacturing process, and the advantage is still in us. side."

"We will have losses, but such losses will never be fatal."

"The first thing to do is to get out of the market the hot money that Congress has invested in short selling and avoid financial losses."

"Secondly, we have to start negotiations as soon as possible, and negotiate the terms before their possible chip actually appears, even if they make more concessions, it doesn't matter! At least there is still a profit!"

"Finally, the upstream and downstream industries also need to act as soon as possible. We must limit each other's production capacity as much as possible and keep our dominant position as much as possible!"

His words were quickly recorded on paper, and then, signed by the old man sitting on the edge, began to be sent to various departments.

The first to receive the order was the idfc department responsible for overseas investment. As soon as they saw the order, they started the capital exit plan.

But soon, they discovered that the stocks they sold by margin financing could not be redeemed.

Because on the same day, Huaxia officially issued a notice.

In view of the domestic situation, it is planned to extend the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday by 3 days, and all financial institutions will be closed.
