The chip export restriction regulations jointly set by many countries against China soon spread around the world. Many well-informed netizens heard about it for the first time and cursed it online in anger.
"Fuck! These foreigners are so insidious. If you have the guts, just confront them head-on! If you're afraid, you're just a grandson!"
"Why don't they sell the stuff to us? Why?" "
Doesn't this violate monopoly laws? What are international organizations for? Why don't they sanction them?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Do you think the key point is whether to sell chips? This time it could be chips, next time it could be cores. They've made it clear that they want to join hands against us and surround us to bully us! Is it any use talking about the law? Who can sanction them? Themselves?"
"Several foreign semiconductor giants have mastered the core technology and have dominated the upstream of the entire industrial chain from the beginning. The entire industrial ecosystem is built around them. From our standpoint, we have no way to deal with them. If we make a big fuss, we will only lose more face."
"Hehe, you were bragging about how powerful China was before, but now that they have done a little bit to us, you start saying that there is nothing you can do. It turns out that we are still far behind them! If you have such good words, why don’t you do more practical things! You just fool the people all day long."
"That’s right, you can’t even handle a SLR lens and a ballpoint pen, and you still have the nerve to brag about how powerful you are! If you climb over the wall and take a look outside, you will know what the world is like. Don’t live in a dream all day long."
"The two guys upstairs are so funny. They really think they can climb over the wall and be the only one sober while everyone else is drunk."
"Don't pay attention to those two idiots. They are always trying to boost others' ambitions and destroy their own prestige. I don't know what their intentions are."
"Eh... In fact, the chip issue has exposed too many problems. Our country has only been engaged in semiconductors in the past one or two years, and most of the talents come from overseas. For such a large industry, talent training is far from keeping up with the development of the industry. From substrate materials to epitaxy to wafer manufacturing, there is a lack of a large number of talents in every link. This is not something that can be caught up overnight - it's not that we don't want to do it, but that we are powerless."
"Speaking of overseas talents, I suddenly thought of our boss Si Qi. It would be great if he could solve this crisis."
"You're thinking too much. Si Qi's mathematical theory is great, but he is helpless in the face of this situation - do you expect him, a theoretical researcher, to build a lithography machine for you on the spot? Without a lithography machine, how can we make chips!"
"We don't need a lithography machine." In the conference room, Si Qi suddenly said: "Even if we don't have a lithography machine, we in China can also develop chips, and it will definitely not be worse than theirs!"
"What do you think?" An academician asked: "I heard that you have been working on materials recently, it seems to be some carbon nano..."
"Carbon nanomaterials? This is not easy to make..." An academician frowned and said to Si Qi, "Do you need help? I have a few students who major in materials science. They are free anyway. Do you want them to come over and help you?"
At this moment, a group of people were sitting here, discussing the problem in a cohesive atmosphere.
This atmosphere was completely different from the original owner's situation in the E country research institute. There, the original owner was discriminated against. If he made any request, he would be looked at with contempt and disgust, as if the original owner's ideas were unreasonable. Not to mention being carefully cared for and valued, it was good not to be suppressed and squeezed out.
But here, Si Qi never needs to worry about such problems. Everyone works together to face difficulties. Even if he doesn't ask for many things, the superiors will arrange them for him as soon as possible after hearing about them. Whatever equipment he needs, he gets. Whatever materials he needs, he gets. This is true for work, not to mention life.
Things like the exploitation of labor force like in Country E, where the original owner is forced to work overtime all the time, have never happened. If Si Qi goes to bed a little late, Chu Lin will come over and urge him to take care of his body and rest early. Eating is the most basic of the basics. The food made by the kitchen aunt every time is not only perfectly in line with Si Qi's taste, but also very nutritious, which is completely different from the coffee and bread that the original owner ate.
Si Qi only needs to do what he wants to do under the care of the country, and the country will help block everything else.
This is also one of the many reasons why he likes this country, not just because of the natural filter after inheriting the original owner's identity.
Si Qi said: "Of course you are welcome to join me. I just happened to have new progress here, and I need everyone's help to carry out the final experiments."
Several academicians around him brightened up: "What? You have succeeded?"
Si Qi smiled slightly. This rare smile made many people feel relieved, and then the atmosphere became more enthusiastic.
"It's almost successful. As long as this thing is manufactured, we will no longer need foreign help..."
A group of people talked enthusiastically, and the whole meeting lasted for a long time. Until the moon was hanging on the branches and the stars were shining, the people sitting in the conference room left with a relaxed look on their faces. There was a blazing fire in everyone's eyes, and that fire was called hope.
Chu Lin didn't know what happened inside, but he could guess that things had taken a turn for the better.
After that, Si Qi became busier than ever, spending every day in the research institute, doing research that only a few people could understand. A group of experts from all over the country rushed here, and everyone was working day and night.
Chu Lin could see that they were very tired. But at the same time, everyone's eyes were bright and shining, as if they had endless energy in their bodies, and they wished they could stand at their work posts 24 hours a day.
Whenever Chu Lian saw the young man standing in front of everyone with his slender and tender body, holding his head high and chest out, and talking to them loudly while typing on the whiteboard, he would feel indescribably touched.
At the same time, the current situation of China being sanctioned by chips did not seem to have improved at all from the outside.
Except for a few very sensitive people who noticed that the response from above was not right, and who were sensible enough not to speak out, the domestic public opinion was getting more and more anxious day by day.
People were angry at the behavior of foreign countries, and wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight with those people. They were also annoyed by their own country's inaction, and felt uncomfortable that China could really be manipulated by others and could do nothing.
Public opinion gradually turned pessimistic, and online trolls spread rumors everywhere, claiming that China's future technology would be delayed by several decades without chips, causing the public to be uneasy and saying all kinds of things.
Foreigners saw that China was beaten without saying anything, and laughed at it. They watched China's jokes every day for fun.
Just when people's emotions were suppressed to the extreme, a press conference was suddenly held.
The organizers not only invited major domestic newspapers and news stations to watch the whole process, but also invited foreign semiconductor manufacturers to visit.
Many Chinese media who were holding their breath immediately heard the news and rushed to the scene as soon as possible, setting up large and small equipment around the venue.
Although I don't know what will happen, the big scene in front of me makes me feel a sense of anticipation.
The foreign semiconductor giants were arrogant and didn't care about it. After repeated invitations, they sent several executives to watch the joke.
At this moment, these people were sitting in the front row of the venue, with a disdainful smile on their faces, pointing and talking around from time to time, and didn't take the Chinese people around them seriously.
"Why did you call this group of people over?" A reporter who was working on a live broadcast on TV whispered: "The audience will probably curse to death when they see it."
"Why do you care so much? Just do what the superiors say." The leader glared at her.
The reporter muttered, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that things will get out of hand? This is a live broadcast.
What if these people suddenly start to provoke us and make us lose face? The whole country's audience will see this scene..." The leader's face was not very good, and he criticized, "Instead of saying sad words, you might as well think about how to make it up if something goes wrong later!"
The reporter said frustratedly, "Is it based on the premise that we will lose face? What you said really makes me lose all my enthusiasm..."
As soon as the voice fell, the lights on the scene suddenly hit the podium. Everyone's eyes shifted to the front, and a young man in a suit walked out slowly, quickly attracting the attention of the whole audience.
——It was Si Qi.
The young man who has become famous both domestically and internationally, attracting the attention of countless people.
The flashlights and cameras below were immediately focused on him. He looked calm, as if he was born to be in the spotlight. His handsome face attracted everyone's attention, making people almost forget that he was just a child who had just come of age, but a heavyweight who could change the world.
He raised the microphone and made a simple self-introduction. Then, in front of the audience from all over the country and even the world, he said calmly: "Thank you all for coming. The main content of today's press conference is to introduce to you a product independently developed and successfully manufactured by China - carbon-based chips."
... Carbon-based chips?
What the hell?
Didn't they say that those foreigners restricted us from "silicon-based chips"?
But... what this sentence means is that our own country has also produced chips, right?
All the media at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, put their hearts at ease, raised the corners of their mouths, and were happy in their hearts. They pointed the camera at Si Qi, full of silent expectations.
However, after listening to the translation, several executives of internationally renowned semiconductor manufacturers were all stunned, and then suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at Si Qi in front of everyone and said: "Carbon-based chips? Hahahaha, what did I hear? Someone actually said carbon-based chips?"
"No one can use carbon as the main material of a chip!"
"You must be living in a dream!"
