Scholar’s Advanced Technological System Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055 - Changing the Rules of the Game!

Backstage.

Wang Zhengfei looked at the busy staff members and suddenly smiled.

“I heard that you created a journal recently?”

Lu Zhou nodded.

“Yeah.”

“It’s called Future, right? What a great name!” Wang Zhengfei smiled and said, “I told the engineers from our research and development department that anyone that can publish a paper in Future will win a 500,000 yuan reward!”

Wang Zhengfei paused for a second and said, “That means you have to tighten the review process. Otherwise, when our company runs out of money, I’ll have to ask you.”

“Don’t worry…” Lu Zhou smiled and said, “Only outstanding research results are eligible to be published in the main journal. For example, Professor Wu Tianqun’s paper on carbon-based chips. If it’s just an ordinary integrated circuit paper… I think it’s better to submit it to other electronics journals.”

Wang Zhengfei shook his head and said, “That… is a bit ridiculous. His paper totally disrupted the industry. Papers like that only come once a decade.”

Lu Zhou: “It just has to be outstanding; it doesn’t have to disrupt the industry. Besides, we accept papers from many different disciplines, so there is bound to be several outstanding research results.”

Just the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study alone had many projects Lu Zhou thought were worthy of publication.

In the past, these papers would have been submitted to Nature or Science, but now, Future was obviously a higher priority.

As for submissions from external sources, Lu Zhou didn’t really care.

After all, the intention of this journal was to publish research from the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

Time quickly passed by, and the report was about to happen.

Wang Zhengfei looked at the clock and spoke.

“Our product launch is going to start in 15 minutes. This is a good opportunity for publicity. Are you sure you don’t want to say a few words?”

Lu Zhou shook his head.

“Not interested.”

Wang Zhengfei smiled and spoke.

“I forgot, scholars like you don’t really need publicity anymore.”

Lu Zhou sighed and said, “It’s actually quite annoying. I don’t really like to make public appearances. I would rather those people put their attention on the problems I solved.”

“That might be a little difficult since the problems you solved aren’t exactly trivial.” Wang Zhengfei stood up from his chair and said, “Okay then, we’ll just stand aside and listen.”

Lu Zhou stood up and asked, “Aren’t you going to talk on stage?”

“I’m not good at public speaking,” Wang Zhengfei said. “We have a dedicated product strategy officer. Not to mention, nobody likes an old man, so stuff like this should be left to the young people.”

Lu Zhou awkwardly chuckled.

Even though Lu Zhou thought of himself as handsome, he still wanted people to pay attention to what was on the inside.

While the two were speaking, a man in a suit walked in.

Wang Zhengfei glanced at the young man walking in. He then looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Hey, allow me to introduce you to our chief product strategy officer, Shao Yi.”

“Academician Lu, nice to meet you!” the young man in his thirties said. He continued with a sincere smile on his face, “You can call me Xiao Shao or Xiao Yi.”

Lu Zhou shook his hand and said, “How does Brother Shao sound?”

“Oh, Academician Lu, you’re too kind,” Wang Zhengfei said as he patted Shao Yi on the shoulder. He gave an encouraging look as he said, “Are you ready?”

The young man stood up straight and spoke.

“I’m ready!”

“Nice energy!” Wang Zhengfei nodded and said, “Go break a leg.”

The product launch was held in the International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Swan looked at the crowded exhibition center, as well as the new “meta100” series of phones displayed on a gigantic screen.

Mayberry frowned and whispered, “Is this a product launch or an exhibition?”

“I don’t know…”

For some reason, when Swan looked at the concept model displayed on the screen, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

He wasn’t sure where this feeling came from.

Maybe because I’m jet-lagged.

He shook his head and left the strange thought behind.

With a confident smile on his face, he politely presented his invitation letter to the staff member.

In any case, they were on their enemy’s territory. Even though they knew Huawei wanted to use this conference as a way to intimidate them, they still had to show basic courtesy.

After the staff member looked at the invitation letter, he brought the two executives to a special passage, directly entering the main area of the exhibition center.

“The press conference is in hall 1, it is about to begin. You have VIP seats. You’ll see your seats when you walk in.”

“Okay.” Mayberry nodded toward the staff member and walked toward hall 1.

Because there was traffic on the way here, when the two arrived at the hall, the conference had already begun.

However, it didn’t seem like they were late by too much.

An energetic young man stood on stage; he was probably the product manager.

Just like Swan had expected, Huawei presented the carbon-based chip at this press conference, attracting the attention of the media and attendees.

Even though he was surprised, he had already seen this at the IEEE conference, hence he wasn’t as shocked as before.

He was almost a little bored.

He didn’t come here all the way with his CTO to watch Huawei brag about themselves, nor did he come here to watch the public freak out for no reason.

He couldn’t help but yawn and wonder if this trip was worth it. However, the slide on the screen suddenly changed, attracting his attention.

On the other hand, the young man on stage was talking about the boring performance specifications of the Dragon One. However, something about his presentation suddenly changed.

“In fact, most people think our chip is going to be very expensive, not affordable to most, and with limited applications.

“I admit that the cost of carbon-based chips is a bit higher than silicon-based chips. That is because of the price of the material itself, and because of industrialization.

“These problems are inevitable for an industry like us. Just like how when the computer was first invented, it was too expensive for individual users.

“But I believe that these problems will be solved by economies of scale.”

Shao Yi looked back at the big screen and changed the slides.

A black phone appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

“Mete100.”

There was a commotion in the audience.

Shao Yi continued, “I believe you all have already seen this in the main exhibition center.”

“This time, our breakthrough isn’t in the camera or the design, but the chip itself.

“Compared with the metaseries of phones, the mete100 is using the new Dragon One chips. With a 1mm decrease in thickness and a 13% decrease in weight…

“And all this is done without sacrificing the performance of the mobile phone… In fact, the performance has improved!”

Everyone in the audience, including Swan and Mayberry, looked shocked.

Reduced the thickness by 1mm!

Without sacrificing performance?!

Mayberry said in disbelief, “How is this possible!”

Mayberry suddenly thought of something and muttered, “No, impossible…”

Is this because of the heat dissipation properties of carbon-based chips?!

Or the 20W power consumption?!

Heat dissipation was a problem in any microelectronic device. Generally speaking, manufacturers’ solutions to the heat dissipation problem of mobile phones was to install a graphite heat conduction sheet under the processor or add a layer of heat dissipation gel. In more power-intensive phones, heat dissipation pipes would be added.

However, these solutions weren’t needed for carbon-based chips.

The low power consumption characteristics of the carbon-based chip, combined with its physical properties, meant that it did not require additional materials for heat dissipation.

Shao Yi smiled and spoke.

“We have to thank the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, as well as the Microelectronics Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Like I said at the beginning, carbon-based chips will revolutionize the electronics industry!

“Because of the excellent physical properties of carbon materials, our engineers don’t have to make trade-offs between performance and heat dissipation.

“By combining the mete100 with our Dragon series of chips, we have created a unique phone the world has never seen before!”

The young chief product strategy officer smiled, taking in the energetic atmosphere.

“On behalf of Huawei, I’d like to make some announcements!

“Within three years, our Dragon series of chips will be used in all ranges of Huawei mobile phones, for a complete refresh of our chip technology!

“Not just phones, all routers will also be updated with new chips!”

The slides on the projector screen began to change.

The slides began to show concepts of the mete100, tablets, wearable smart devices, and even lighting, security, cleaning, and other IoT devices.

With the support of 5G technology, all smart devices would be connected to the Internet.

The emergence of carbon-based chips meant unlimited imagination.

Swan shrank into his chair as he watched the slides on the screen.

He was horrified.

He finally knew why Huawei was so fearless.

Their real trump card wasn’t the carbon-based chips at all!

It was to implement carbon-based chips into the entire industry chain, from phones to computers!

His fingers began to tremble.

He suddenly had a terrifying thought in his mind.

Whether it was Intel, Qualcomm, or AMD, the reason why these traditional semiconductor giants could override antitrust laws by forming an alliance was that the entire industry was built around them.

Regardless of the upstream and downstream industry chain, as long as the industry they spent decades building still existed, they could sit back and relax at the top of the pyramid, smiling at their profits.

But now, Huawei was challenging their position at the top of the pyramid…

Huawei wasn’t a lion, nor were they an armed hunter…

From the beginning, they had no plans to fight against the silicon giants.

Their real motive was to change the rules of the game…
