Technology: Start by selling mobile phones

"The latest news is that all US companies are prohibited from selling components, software and technology patents to Huawei due to violations of relevant export regulations."

"Including..."

…

“This includes EDA software, chip manufacturing and all other technologies involved in the chip field!

The most important thing is that TSMC, the foundry manufacturer of Kirin 970, will also completely terminate the chip foundry agreement with Huawei in one month! "

"Damn it, TSMC won't do OEM work for Huawei. Doesn't that mean it can't produce Kirin chips?"

"Without the Kirin chip, what will happen to the Meta 10? What will happen to Huawei phones?!"

News about Huawei suddenly appeared on the Internet like a depth bomb. As soon as the news came out, all netizens were confused for the first half hour.

Who would have thought that Huawei would suddenly be restricted?

Confused and shocked, the news began to spread rapidly. In just half an hour, more and more netizens began to come to their senses.

"Is this because Huawei's Meta 10 is selling well? Is it threatening the Iphone market? So we took action?"

"Yes, it can be understood this way. In fact, Huawei is not only powerful in mobile phones, but also has very good communication technology. The United States must have felt the threat of Huawei and began to think of ways to suppress it!"

"You are so shameless. If a country targets a company like this, you can't afford it?!"

"It's disgusting, it's really disgusting. You can't do anything but resort to these despicable methods! And you still boast about Western civilization, bah! You're just a robber and a bully!"

"tmd, blockades are blockades, restrictions are restrictions, what a fool! We can make atomic bombs, why are we afraid that we can't make chips?"

"That is, imperialism cannot defeat the heroic people of Yan country. I believe in Huawei!"

"Come on Huawei!"

"+1!"

The news spread from ten to ten, and from ten to ten.

The netizens who came back to their senses became excited, and the voice of condemning the United States and supporting Huawei reached its peak, and even Apple was criticized.

Actually.

If domestic companies were said to be unable to compete with foreign companies in business competition, everyone would never react in such a big way. They would even scold their own children for not living up to expectations and not being as skilled as others.

But it’s so mean of you to play outside the game!

I really don’t have any shame at all!

but.

After the intense indignation, more and more popular science knowledge about chips appeared on the Internet, and the current situation of the domestic chip industry was revealed bit by bit.

Many netizens were shocked.

Yanguo's chip demand accounts for 45% of the world's total demand, with a market share of hundreds of billions of dollars. But with such a huge demand, 90% of its chips actually need to be imported? !

What is our domestic chip industry doing? !

Take a closer look.

The most important 7-nanometer lithography machine for producing top-level chips is not available in China.

Photoresist - not available in China.

Silicon wafer - not available in China.

Polishing fluid and polishing pads - not available in China.

Even the purification equipment needed for the production workshop is not available in China and needs to be imported!

And the most shocking thing,

This is also the most critical business that Huawei is banned from this time - TSMC has broken through 5 nanometers in the field of chip manufacturing, while SMIC, our strongest domestic company, is still stuck at 38 nanometers to improve the yield rate! ?

This is the strongest chip manufacturing company in China - SMIC!

Is the gap so big? !

The huge technological gap was suddenly laid out in front of everyone's eyes, and the indescribable feeling of shock and powerlessness shattered everyone's illusions almost instantly.

The angry voices on the Internet suddenly became quieter, and a pessimistic mood began to spread.

"This, this gap... is too big, right?"

"This is no longer a gap, this is the overall backwardness of the entire industry. Every link is full of shortcomings, and there is no strength at all!"

"SMIC, the top domestic company, can only produce 38 nanometers... How many generations behind TSMC!"

"I just read a report. An expert in the chip field was interviewed and said that domestic chip technology is at least 20 years behind foreign countries."

"We are 20 years behind...how can we catch up?"

Gradually, a haze of anger and depression began to envelope major forums. Especially after more chip professionals jumped out to speak, the pessimistic mood became even stronger.

Even the day after the news was released, some strange noises began to appear on the Internet.

"Isn't there a one-month buffer period? Is this the time limit given to us by the United States? Does this mean we can still talk?!"

"Yes, and TSMC will also secretly help us manufacture chips, right?"

Mo Ran noticed all the comments on the Internet.

He doesn't care about the confusing thoughts of netizens on the Internet at this time. He only knows that the topic of "domestic chips" on the Internet is already very high.

And he was waiting for this moment, when everyone's eyes were focused on domestic chips!

"Old Hao, immediately send out the news that we are holding a new product launch conference. The focus of the promotion of 'Brilliant S1' this time should not be on the camera function, nor on the appearance design."

"The key promotion direction of 'Brilliant S1' this time is——"

“Our independently developed and independently produced 38nm ‘Pony Crossing the River Pro’ NPU chip!”

"It's our turn!"

…

Early the next morning, news about Huawei continued to ferment, and countless netizens were paying attention to the progress of the matter.

At ten o'clock in the morning, many online news media suddenly received an invitation to a press conference.

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be from Nietzsche's cell phone.

"Nietzsche Mobile will hold a new product launch conference for its new flagship 'Brilliant S1' at the Chengdu Convention and Exhibition Center in three days?"

In the office lobby of NetEase News Digital Column, reporter Ding Jian looked at the invitation letter in his mailbox with some surprise.

If the staff of Nietzsche's company hadn't called him personally just now to confirm whether he had received the invitation, he would have even thought it was an advertising email.

"It's really strange, Lao Li. In my mind, Nietzsche Mobile has never held any new product launch conference."

"Moreover, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Nietzsche to choose such a sensitive time now? Who is still interested in paying attention to his new product launch conference at this time?!"

Ding Jian muttered, he has been paying attention to Huawei's affairs in the past few days.

Lao Li on the side heard Ding Jian complaining and said with a smile:

"Whatever, just open the email and read it first. If you think it's good, go to the press conference. If it's not good, just decline."

"Right."

Ding Jian no longer hesitated and immediately opened the email.

But just two seconds later, he suddenly let out a sigh, and the look on his brows instantly became unbelievable.

"Old Li, Old Li... Come and take a look!"

"Nietzsche Mobile, Nietzsche Mobile actually independently developed a 38nm NPU chip and put it into mass production on the new flagship mobile phone!"

What? !

Old Li's expression changed drastically.

Designed and produced by yourself, and also mass-produced NPU chips that are officially used? !

That's right!
