The rise of nanometers

Huang Xiuyuan and Rebus negotiated the relevant cooperation, then left the small private room and returned to the main restaurant.

The CEOs of other partners also formed their own small groups after lunch to discuss some cooperation.

For example, Huawei and ZTE, which plan to develop mobile phones and computers, and Great Wall, which focuses on the computer industry, are currently focusing on localization of Inspur and Shuguang, Datang and Ziguang, which plan to become the core of chip foundry and design, and Yangtze River, which has made some achievements in storage chips. , they are all united vertically and horizontally.

Similarly, Internet companies such as Jindong, NetEase, Sohu and 360 are also discussing cooperation.

Whether it is the Semiconductor Alliance headed by Long Totem or the Internet Alliance headed by Time Information, they are recruiting companies that can cooperate in their respective fields to form their own small groups. The emergence of Shantou is actually a very normal thing.

After Huang Xiuyuan returned to the main restaurant, everyone immediately came closer.

"Everyone, although Long Totem's mobile phone and computer are out, we still have a long way to go and we can't be careless."

"Mr. Huang's words make sense. Western Semiconductor has a very strong foundation. We must beware of their counterattack." Mr. Ren nodded in agreement.

The other bosses were also talking a lot.

"Currently, the demand for chips and software in smart homes and hybrid vehicles is increasing. Don't miss these projects."

Others are naturally aware of Huang Xiuyuan's words. Currently, the demand for chips and software in the smart home and automobile markets is indeed showing an increasing trend.

In the home appliance industry, Gree, Midea, Joyoung, Haier and Snail are rapidly advancing the layout and development of smart homes.

Major domestic car companies are also promoting semi-intelligent cars. The so-called semi-intelligent cars are indeed a new concept car proposed by Huang Xiuyuan out of safety considerations for fully intelligent cars.

For example, as autonomous driving technology develops, it is also necessary to develop means of restraint. After all, Huang Xiuyuan himself hacked into a car's computer through the Internet and controlled the car to kill the target.

Programs cannot be perfect.

Once a hacker finds a loophole and takes control of a smart car, it is very likely to have very bad consequences.

Especially under special circumstances, if hostile forces use the backdoor of on-board computers to control vehicles and block traffic on key roads, it can severely damage an area in an instant.

In fact, among the series of proposals Huang Xiuyuan submitted to the above, there was a research report on out-of-control smart homes and smart cars.

Soon domestic regulations will be promulgated and improved to ensure that smart homes and smart cars develop in a controllable and preventable manner.

For example, you can manually forcibly turn off the emergency buttons of smart homes and smart cars. This is a method that must be prepared.

Self-driving technology can be researched, but there are currently no mature conditions for promotion. After all, smart cars have huge risks of losing control, let alone driverless cars.

Once a driverless car loses control, without the driver's manual control, the level of danger will skyrocket.

Huang Xiuyuan reminded: "Everyone, we must come up with a reasonable and safe overall solution for the chip design of smart homes and smart cars. Last month, six vicious incidents occurred in the United States where hackers controlled cars and hit people. If the security problem cannot be solved, , the potential risks of intelligence will make officials and the public worried."

As a generalist, Ziguang is currently working hard to develop chips for smart homes and smart cars. If the chips in these two markets are really restricted due to security issues, Ziguang will suffer heavy losses.

President Ziguang said solemnly: "Mr. Huang's concerns are not unreasonable. If the security problem cannot be solved, it may have a huge blow to the development of smart homes and smart cars."

Since the last Cloud Inspection Expo held by Suiren in Quancheng, Shandong Province, Rebus has conducted a lot of research on the concept of smart home. He also understands that network security issues will become a huge threat to intelligent devices.

For example, users' privacy is leaked, hackers control smart devices, and programs lose control. These are all things that may happen.

If in a completely smart house, the smart door suddenly loses control, without emergency manual mode, the user can only break in the door.

Or, hackers deliberately control the smart devices of the house, lock the user in the house, and then turn on natural gas, liquefied gas, or even detonate the gas. This killing method is simply too convenient.

Rebus thought for a moment and then said: "Xiaomi has done some industry research. To solve the security problem of smart homes, I personally think that firewalls alone are far from enough."

The mature and prudent Mr. Ren nodded: "Mr. Lei's concerns are indeed worthy of attention."

Everyone still believes what Rebus said. After all, in addition to Xiaomi, Rebus is also the chairman of Kingsoft, which is also one of the oldest anti-virus software manufacturers in China.

"The firewall is indeed not 100% guaranteed. Last month's car out-of-control incident in the United States is a very obvious example. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst." Zhou Hongwei also agreed with Rebus.

They 360 dare not guarantee that their firewall is unbreakable.

For this kind of thing, as long as a competitor deliberately seeks trouble and deliberately hires hackers to commit one or two vicious incidents, an enterprise can be paralyzed or even destroyed directly.

Semiconductor companies that provide chips for intelligent devices and Internet companies that provide software will be indirectly affected.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and there are many domestic merchants who want to deal with the Suiren system and their partners.

After discussing for a long time, Huang Xiuyuan came up with several plans:

"To solve these problems now, we can only take a multi-pronged approach. The first is to postpone the launch of smart devices with security risks."

In this regard, Huang Xiuyuan listed, such as smart doors and smart gas stoves, these two devices are definitely the most dangerous.

"Second, promote independent small networks."

The so-called independent small network is the smart home network, which must be physically separated from the Internet on computers and mobile phones.

You cannot control the operation of your smart home through your computer or mobile phone for convenience.

"We can design home computers and remote controls specifically to serve smart homes, using signals and communication bands independent of the Internet to facilitate smart home control."

Zhou Hongwei frowned: "Mr. Huang, I have a concern. If someone develops a controller or some frequency modulator specifically to crack the smart home, this is a blind spot."

Regarding this question, Huang Xiuyuan nodded: "Well, this risk does exist, which requires us to promote the improvement of the law and include this kind of private frequency modulator behavior as an illegal act."

Physical partitions, coupled with a small intranet composed of local computers, are indeed important means to solve smart home security.

A number of semiconductor companies agree with this plan.

However, for smart cars, the problems are more troublesome than for smart homes, because the navigation system of smart cars needs to locate the car.

After much deliberation, everyone decided that they could only add an emergency power-off device, and at the same time limit the connection between the on-board computer and mobile phone signals. Only the Beidou satellite positioning signals were allowed to access, and other signals were blocked.

This is the best solution currently.

Thank you for your support. I have to guard the intersection these days to prevent wildfires⊙﹏⊙, so the update may be unstable, so I will update it as often as possible! ()
