1991 Starting from the core - Chapter 993

c991 Time waits not for us

“From the perspective of an engineer-turned-physicist, I tend to believe that the commercial information technology industry, including games and the Internet, is essentially a social service. Therefore, I do not think its further evolution will Bring about a new industrial revolution or bring revolutionary changes to the entire society.”

When everyone in the Thatched Cottage gathered on the roof in the afternoon, Su Yuanshan explained to this group of the most powerful IT industry leaders in China, besides Yuanxin, Yuanxin’s vision for the next technological revolution at the executive board meeting. know.

After all, he was the one who started the Cottage. Many companies here also have shares held by Yuanxin.

After a pause, Su Yuanshan laughed: “Of course, this is just my family opinion, you can just take it as a reference.”

Everyone laughed together. It was obvious that Su Yuanshan was a little too modest.

If there were still people who doubted Su Yuanshan’s “genius” more than ten years ago, after so many years, especially with the rapid development of the Internet and the rapid arrival of mobile Internet… no one will doubt Su Yuanshan’s “genius” anymore. Vision in the field of IT.

This does not mention his status as a Nobel Prize scholar.

To put it bluntly, it is undoubtedly an honor for Mr. Shan to be able to sit here and share his views with a group of people whose wealth and market capitalization are all different.

“So, even if brain-computer interconnection and brain-in-a-vat are realized in the future… as long as the energy and resource issues cannot be solved, in essence, human beings will just change their living conditions – you see, we are already in the 21st century. The country is a little better, but what about the poorer places? For example, Africa… to put it harshly, they are as poor as ghosts. You know, it has been forty years since humans landed on the moon!”

“We have all received GCZY education since childhood, saying that when materials are extremely abundant, human beings can distribute according to needs… But now it seems that it is enough. First of all, energy is a problem-fossil energy has an upper limit and has environmental impacts. So now Europe and the United States Japan and China are both engaged in controllable nuclear fusion. But is it enough if the energy source is solved? Obviously not…”

Su Yuanshan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and continued: “This year Yuanxin proposed the vision of going to the stars and the sea, and of course also launched the holographic simulation project at the same time. This is not because we have too much money to burn, but because we seem to never find it again. There is no other general direction.”

“Then let’s follow suit!”

The person who said this was Liu Xiang. His eyes were shining, and he seemed to be gearing up: “Is it a holographic helmet or 3D glasses?”

“You should really follow up, because according to the most intuitive understanding, games are the easiest to implement in the virtual world.” Su Yuanshan glanced at Liu Xiang and chuckled: “Of course, I am not saying that everyone should follow up, that would be too Blind… I just think that everyone can prepare in advance, think about it, and enter the mobile Internet era as soon as possible like our foresight on the mobile phone, or… open the mobile Internet era.”

Everyone present became thoughtful.

Because of their almost blind trust in Su Yuanshan, these brothers started their full march into mobile phone screens when Yuanxin launched Vidoo4. Over the years, whether it is YOS or the emerging force Apple IOS, the popular Nearly half of the top 100 applications were created by everyone here.

What is visible to the naked eye is that with the popularization of 4G technology, mobile platforms such as mobile phones will only become more and more important, until they surpass PCs.

“Only in this way will we not be abandoned by the new technological revolution.”

Su Yuanshan put down his teacup and assumed a casual posture.

——The history he remembered ended abruptly in the Yuan Universe. But based on his technical intuition alone, he can conclude that future IT technology will indeed only move towards human-computer interaction.

Even in the recent discussion among all members of the Science and Technology Committee, everyone simply put together a model.

——Almost everyone believes that in the future, quantum computers will be used as the core computing power, traditional computers will be used as auxiliary computing power and task allocation, supplemented by portable devices for high-speed interaction, and finally rely on portable devices to interconnect with brain-computer chips. , realizing immersive and comprehensive simulated vision should be the ultimate form of current technological development, or at least one of it.

Now that a consensus has been reached, Yuanxin must unswervingly move forward on this path.

In the words of Xi Xiaoding, when you are too old to walk and can only lie in bed and wait for death, if your mind can still fly freely in a new world… what a goal worth fighting for!

Time flies, and it’s May in the blink of an eye.

Compared with last year, there is an extra anniversary in May this year. It’s just that as a company, Yuanxin cannot do more to deal with the disaster that has occurred, but it still organized a group of middle-level executives to visit the places that were most severely affected by the disaster. At the same time, they also met with a group of “Yuanxin child”.

These children were all orphans left behind after the earthquake. Although the civil affairs department had properly resettled them at first, due to Wang Rui’s intervention, Yuanxin’s charity department still provided funding for these orphans.

Su Yuanshan also participated in this event. Along the way, when he saw that the disaster area was very different from what he remembered after the disaster, you can imagine his sadness and emotion.

“Mr. Shan, I heard that you were in class when there was an earthquake last year?”

On the bus back, Chen Gang from YOS Laboratory sat next to Su Yuanshan. He saw Su Yuanshan looking through the photos of the Earthquake Memorial Museum on his mobile phone, so he asked casually.

“Yeah, I was so scared that I crawled under the table.” Su Yuanshan turned off his phone and nodded with a smile.

He knew why the guys like Chen Gang wanted to come. On the one hand, they wanted to take a look at the disaster area. On the other hand, these guys also regarded this as a close “tour”…

After all, this year’s tasks are quite heavy.

“Haha, I heard that a teacher was scared away and made a fuss… So how did the teacher deal with it?”

“I don’t know. Anyway, there is no such teacher in the Department of Electrical Engineering.” A smile appeared on the corner of Su Yuanshan’s mouth, with a hint of disdain – he really paid attention to this matter after the earthquake last year. And what caught him off guard was that he was also pulled out for comparison… which was really unlucky.

——At that time, netizens said that Professor Su Yuanshan was the last one to leave. Why do you have the nerve to say that you ran away with peace of mind?

“By the way, Lao Chen, do you have a major version to be updated in the second half of the year?”

“Yes, so I have to work overtime again this time when I go back.” Chen Gang stretched out, looked at the sleepy colleagues around him, and said with a wry smile: “And Microsoft is not worried, Windows Vista has only been out for a long time. Ah… Windows 7 will be released soon.”

Speaking of win7, Su Yuanshan coughed.

As an old friend of Microsoft, of course he got the test version of win7.

Just like in memory, win7 still continues the law of being better than the previous generation, and it beats Windows Vista in all aspects.

In fact, even if Win 7 does not come out, or even if Windows Vista fails, it will not damage Microsoft’s dominance in PC operating systems – after all, the influence of winXP is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But Chen Gang…how should I put it…he is a typical combination of knowledge and action.

To use a famous saying in the province: “Brother Pao keeps his word.”

If he says he wants to kill Microsoft, then he really wants to kill Microsoft – at least he will be on the road to kill Microsoft anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, when YOS also achieved a dominant position on the mobile client, Chen Gang focused most of his energy on WinOS.

Although YOS and YOS contributed compilers, WinOS is a real desktop operating system! I was born to compete with Windows!

It’s just that… after so many years, although the sales of Yuanxin’s Xbook series notebooks equipped with WinOS are not bad, they have never achieved a dominant position like Vidoo mobile phones.

This can be regarded as Chen Gang’s little regret.

“Don’t be anxious, take your time. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and Microsoft wasn’t defeated in a day – don’t you see that Intel is still surviving well under the siege of us? They even made threats to Graphics card.”

Su Yuanshan sighed while comforting Chen Gang, somewhat dumbfounded.

Yes, Intel doesn’t know where the problem is, or… I don’t know if it was stimulated. Last month it announced that it would launch a new GPU core Acred… As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a stir in the industry. of earthquakes. Even Su Yuanshan was a little stunned at that time.

This… is not that toothpaste factory at all!

But it didn’t take long for Su Yuanshan to figure it out.

This time, that time.

Among the four companies that are engaged in CPU today, Xinghai has Vodoo, the leader in the graphics card market. AMD, as always, acquired ATI after abandoning Global Fund, and Yuanxin is not to mention, as everyone knows… SIS Silicon Systems’ graphics card department has long since become Silicon Core.

It can be said that among the four X86 processor companies, Intel has no graphics card business.

Intel really cannot afford to lose this face.

But the result of this is that… in the foreseeable future, I am afraid that every chip company will develop its own one-stop platform.

What? You said there are other graphics card manufacturers?

——Because of the unique conditions for silicon cores, NVIDIA, another GPU chip factory on the island, has been dug into a sieve.

Or in other words, the reason why silicon core has been able to “rise up” is entirely due to its persistence in poaching Nvidia engineers for many years with offers that are so lucrative that people cannot refuse. Only then can we be able to compete with the traditional overlord of 3dfx this year. Arm wrestling strength.

“Yes… but time waits for us. Mr. Shan, why don’t we just launch the desktop computer?” Chen Gang sighed with emotion and then looked at Su Yuanshan with burning eyes and suggested.

“Uh… let’s talk. I’ll take a call.”

Su Yuanshan held the phone, glanced at it, and immediately pressed the answer button.

——It’s from Liang Mengsong.

Su Yuanshan knew Liang Mengsong’s personality very well. Unless there was something important, this person would usually not call him… And now this call…

After Su Yuanshan connected, he took a breath.

“Old Liang, what do you say?”

“nailed it.”

On the phone, Liang Mengsong smiled slightly and made no secret of his joy: “The first test wafer has successfully rolled off the production line!”

“good!”

Su Yuanshan couldn’t help but let out a low drink.

Then, right after, a familiar voice came from the phone: “Xiao Shan, can you just say a nice word?”

Su Yuanshan was startled and immediately smiled: “Senior brother is here too?”

“Well, I guessed that my life would be better in the past two days, so I sneaked over here first, but I didn’t expect to be there.” Tang Wenjie laughed on the phone: “What do you mean, do you want to come over and take a look?”

Su Yuanshan coughed and looked at Han Yiyi who turned back in the front row.

After a while, the rest of the people in the car woke up and looked at him.

“The 22nm FinFET process in Deyuan has successfully rolled off the production line. I plan to go over and have a look. Xiao Han, please make arrangements.”

“Okay Mr. Shan.” Han Yiyi nodded immediately and took out her mobile phone.

…

The bus drove into the Yuanxin gate under the protection of two cars one behind the other. After Tang Wenfang, Liu Hongyan and others got off, Su Yuanshan got off and walked quickly to the office.

“Senior brother.”

Qin Weimin, whom he hadn’t seen for nearly half a year, had been waiting at the secretariat outside his office for a long time – the person in charge of receiving him was Lin Kelin, the interim head of the Shantou Office.

Lin Kelin, from the island, was the girl who interviewed Su Yuanshan when he visited National Taiwan University. After passing Yuanxin’s background check, she quickly grew up in the Shantou Office based on her skills and relatively “special” status. .

As a result, when Han Yiyi was there, the person in charge of the mountain office was naturally Han Yiyi, but in Han Yiyi’s absence, Lin Kelin became the temporary person in charge.

“Xiao Lin, Mr. Qin is my senior brother, the kind of kisser.” Seeing his senior brother sitting on the sofa outside, Su Yuanshan coughed slightly. Although there was no blaming tone, his words still revealed that Qin Weimin should not be left alone. Meaning outside.

“Don’t blame her, I’m too lazy to wait in your office.” Although Qin Weimin is middle-aged, he still maintains a good figure and is very well-educated.

He stood up with a smile, patted each other on the back with Su Yuanshan and walked to the office.

After closing the door, Qin Weimin sat down on the sofa and said cheerfully to Su Yuanshan: “The little girl you have outside is very pretty. What do you think is wrong with me to stay alone with you?” Office?”

Su Yuanshan: “…Senior brother, you have changed.”

“Hahaha! It’s you who haven’t changed.” As he spoke, Qin Weimin thought of how when Yuanxin was first established, there were only a few people including him, Tang Wenjie, Chen Jianguo, and Su Yuanshan…

When recruiting front desk and logistics staff at that time, Su Yuanshan said that he must recruit good-looking people.

…This guy really has the same taste.

The joke was over, and the two senior brothers quickly got down to business.

Of course Qin Weimin didn’t come here to see the pretty girl.

Deyuan has completed the 22nm finfet process. As the chief architect of YX-risc, it is obvious that he also has ideas – because of the recent open source architecture risc-v pursued by Silicon Valley in order to compete with the YX architecture. It has to be pretty fierce.
