Chapter 42 The Forty-Second Patent



Song Ji has been active in the technology area recently, so naturally he saw Tong Yang's latest disassembly video as soon as possible.

His subconscious reaction was to deny the chip inside.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how can a microchip be made so small!"

But the inside of the phone is so small that all the layouts and wiring are clearly visible. If this is not a chip, then which one is the chip?

Song Ji didn't care about the time difference and contacted the major overseas shareholder Royce overnight.

Royce happened to be still awake and replied to him in time.

Song Ji thought he could get an answer from Royce. In fact, it was the first time that Royce had seen such a tiny chip.

Royce used two fingers to enlarge the video screenshot and stared at it solemnly for a while.

After a long while, he took off his glasses and asked Song Ji in a heavy voice, "Song, which company produces this chip?"

"There's a new mobile phone brand that's emerged recently, called XIU." Song Ji highlighted the key points and detailed the various responses that the "XIU" mobile phone has caused in China in recent times.

This includes their claim to have mastered 0.22nm chip technology and the olfactory function of mobile phones.

"0.22nm chip technology can also smell?" Royce was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.

Song Ji: "This is the feedback from people who bought the phone."

Royce enlarged the video screenshot again and tapped the chip thoughtfully.

He had reservations about the 0.22nm chip technology, but his intuition told him that even if this chip was not 0.22nm, it would still be very advanced.

Royce: "Interesting, Song. Send someone to buy a few tomorrow. I want to see what secrets this chip holds."

Even without Royce's arrangement, Song Ji also planned to buy an "XIU" mobile phone.

Now the "XIU" mobile phone is their "Yunse"'s strongest rival, or to be more precise, it is the rival of all mobile phone brands on the market.

Before the "XIU" mobile phone was officially sold, major digital bloggers would objectively talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this model when reviewing it.

After the "XIU" mobile phone went on sale, digital bloggers with connections got the phone on the first day. After receiving the goods, they started live unboxing and tested the phone's performance on the spot for netizens across the country.

They could not find any faults in their evaluation of the "XIU" mobile phone, and almost all of their words were full of praise. They even excitedly burst into laughter in the live broadcast room, saying that this phone was a masterpiece.

Such praise from the entire network is something that many mobile phone brands would envy.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

The next day, Song Ji took his men to Changyang Road early in the morning. He thought he had arrived early enough, but the "XIU" mobile phone store had not yet opened, and there was already a long queue outside the store, stretching from the store entrance along the highway out of the city for almost two kilometers.

Song Ji could not lose his temper and stood at the end of the list obediently.

The weather today was not very good. It was gloomy in the morning and then it started to drizzle. The people in front had trees on the roadside to shelter from the rain, but Song Ji was in a worse situation. There were no trees where he was standing and he was rained on for more than half an hour.

After waiting for a long time for the sky to clear up, the "XIU" mobile phone flagship store hung up a sign saying that today's stock was sold out.

There was a sudden howling of ghosts and wolves in the queue.

There are still 2,000 in stock, and purchase is limited. As a result, it sold out earlier than the previous day, and it’s not even 10 o’clock now.

Although the phone cannot be bought today, people in the queue are still reluctant to leave, just for a chance to touch the actual phone in the store.

Song Ji looked very undignified now. His whole body was wet, and his hair, which had been sprayed with hairspray this morning, had fallen flat.

Fortunately, he wore a mask when he went out today, so no one could recognize him. Otherwise, if he was photographed by Yundu’s fans, his reputation would be ruined.

Song Ji waited in line until two o'clock in the afternoon before it was finally his turn to enter the store. He didn't even have time to eat.

As he entered the store, he was starving and smelled the aroma of food all over the room, a fragrance he couldn't eat. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Song Ji.

Although he had heard on the Internet that the "XIU" mobile phone had a sense of smell, the impact of experiencing it in person still gave him a great shock.

He never imagined that a smartphone could simulate the taste so realistically.

Those who know the situation know that this is a flagship mobile phone store, while those who don’t think they have arrived at a world restaurant.

Most of the customers in the store looked like they were seeing the world for the first time, and Song Ji was not conspicuous at all among them.

He chose a prototype that no one was using yet and couldn't wait to pick it up and start trying it out.

He already had some understanding of the phone's parameters and performance through videos of digital bloggers, but the experience of actually using it himself could not be fully conveyed, and any description in words would be too pale.

From the moment he entered the store, Song Ji's cognition was constantly subverted.

His attention was so focused on the small screen in his hand that he didn't even notice someone coming towards him.

"Mr. Song?"

When Song Ji heard the voice, he responded instinctively.

"I thought I recognized the wrong person, but it turned out to be you, Mr. Song."

Song Ji looked to the side and saw Wu Xuelin looking at him leisurely.

"Why are you here?" he asked without hesitation.

Wu Xuelin: "This is our company's store, of course I'm here."

Song Ji: "Isn't your company selling that energy harvester?"

Wu Xuelin: "But our company doesn't just sell energy harvesters."

Song Ji's expression gradually grew solemn. "Are you saying that the XIU phone is also from your company?"

Wu Xuelin said proudly: "Our boss not only values ​​talent and has a keen eye for talent, but is also very talented. She is a genius. It is she who has shown us what a revolutionary mobile phone is."

In an instant, Song Ji felt as if he was struck by lightning and his whole body was unable to move.

He didn't have time to marvel at how powerful Wu Xuelin's boss was. What he couldn't accept was that Wu Xuelin was in this company.

Just an energy collector was enough to make him feel uncomfortable.

Recently, he heard rumors in the industry that everyone is considering replacing lithium batteries with energy harvesters, and is currently in the investigation stage.

If it is a general trend to replace smart phones with energy harvesters, Yundu will definitely keep up with the pace, otherwise it will be eliminated by the market.

Song Ji got a headache when he thought that he might have to cooperate with Wu Xuelin again in the future and use their company's technology.

Now tell him that the "XIU" mobile phone is also made by Wu Xuelin's company.

"Yundu" had already lost once at the exhibition, and now "Yunsei" was about to lose. Song Ji was defeated one after another by Wu Xuelin's company, and he could not accept it psychologically.

"Mr. Song, have you been queuing outside since this morning? You're so wet." Wu Xuelin deliberately asked such a nonsense question, and said with a smile, "If you want to come to the store to try out the phone, just let me know. I'll have someone bring it to you. Why bother queuing up here yourself?"

Song Ji was very reluctant to owe Wu Xuelin a favor, but since he was under someone else's roof, he had to buy a mobile phone as soon as possible.

He gave Wu Xuelin an ugly smile: "I'm sorry to bother you, can you help me get my phone now?"

Wu Xuelin: "Not today, the stock has been sold out, and I don't have the right to go to the warehouse to transfer goods."

Song Ji would never believe Wu Xuelin's nonsense. How could he, who holds a position with an annual salary of one million, not even have the authority to transfer goods?

In order to get his phone as soon as possible, he had to swallow the humiliation and ask, "What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? I can save it for you tomorrow," Wu Xuelin thought for a moment, and looked at Song Ji with a questioning look, "I can do what I promised you, Mr. Song. Have you done what you promised me?"

Song Ji's heart tightened, knowing that he had to face what he had to face.

Judging from the current trend, there will be even more people tomorrow. If I don’t rely on Wu Xuelin’s connections, I still might not be able to get a ticket even if I queue up tomorrow.

The official "XIU" mobile phone has not opened an online ordering channel, and the only purchasing channel is this store.

From the painful and forbearing expression on Song Ji's face, Wu Xuelin knew that his money was settled.

He smiled harmlessly, "Just transfer it to my old salary card. The finance department should still have my card number."

Song Ji had no choice but to go back and settle Wu Xuelin's accounts, and then transfer the money to him personally.

Everyone in the company knew that Wu Xuelin’s money had to be returned, which amounted to hundreds of thousands.

They all urged him to treat them.

Wu Xuelin: "What does it have to do with you if I can get my money back? Why should I treat you to a meal?"

Those who started the commotion thought about it and felt that it made sense. Wu Xuelin didn't even eat out himself, so how could he possibly treat others?

Sister Tu put her hands on her hips and questioned him, "How come it has nothing to do with us? If it weren't for us, Dai Dai, would you be able to get your money back?"

Wu Xuelin thought to himself that he would definitely be able to get it back, it was just a matter of time.

But he is not an ungrateful person. He will take the light from whomever he receives it.

Wu Xuelin: "If anyone wants to treat me, it should be the boss. It has nothing to do with you either."

Sister Tu snorted: "You are very clear about the calculations."

Wu Xuelin: "If I can't even figure out my own accounts, how can I possibly help you, Mr. Tu, to sort out so many confusing accounts?"

He exposed Sister Tu's secrets in public, which was somewhat embarrassing.

Sister Tu angrily called out to Dai Li, "Daidai, let Wu Xuelin treat you to an expensive meal and empty his wallet!"

Dai Li's voice drifted from a distance: "Okay, I'll do my best."

Sister Tu was about to be happy and was about to ask Wu Xuelin to wait and see.

Then I heard Dai Li say, "But I'm not free recently. Section Chief Zhang recently said that the regulations for the use of the bionic incubator have been drafted and approved. They have been sent to my email. I've been busy for a while now."

The Zhang Ke that Dai Li mentioned refers to Zhang Ji. Recently, Zhang Ji has been busy with the implementation of the relevant procedures for the bionic culture cabin. Finally, in the shortest time, he has connected the main links such as qualifications, standardized usage regulations, and bionic organ regulatory departments.

Bionic organs are no different from other technologies. Strict regulatory procedures must be implemented to prevent criminals from exploiting loopholes.

It was not easy to go through all the procedures. Zhang Ji ran around for several months and lost a lot of weight.

It cannot be said that he has no self-interest at all, but the ultimate beneficiaries are the vast number of patients, who are given hope of survival.

"Then it will be officially put into use soon?" Sister Tu was extremely surprised. This not only means it is beneficial to the society, but also can make a lot of money. How can she not be happy about killing two birds with one stone?

Wu Xuelin didn't know that they also had a bionic organ business, because Dai Li had too many projects on hand, and he was tactful enough not to ask about anything that was not assigned to him.

However, he thought of some things to report to Dai Li.

"Boss, Song Ji might take the phone apart and study it. Now that Yundu's boss is a foreign company, it might be sent abroad for research."

Dai Li said nonchalantly, "Then let them take it apart and study it."

Sister Tu: "Won't they learn some techniques from this?"

Dai Li smiled and said, "What's the point of understanding it? They have to be able to manufacture it first. It's just like they think we can't make advanced chips. Everyone knows the chip manufacturing process, but you don't have the technology, the equipment, and my design software, so you can't make it even if you want to."

Song Ji did just as Wu Xuelin had guessed. He took the phone, which he had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy, and opened it to take a look at it that day.

He pondered the chip inside for a long time.

There is no doubt that he himself could never understand the mystery and could only report it to Royce.

With the help of a translator, Royce has recently read a lot of information about the "XIU" mobile phone. He is also very interested in it and really wants to take the phone apart himself.

So Royce immediately asked him to send two more mobile phones.

Song Ji only has one "XIU" mobile phone in his hand now, and if he wants to send it abroad to Royce, he can only sell two more.

He wanted to contact Wu Xuelin again to try to find a connection, but he didn't expect that this time Wu Xuelin could no longer be contacted. All his contact information was blocked, and Wu Xuelin was nowhere to be seen in the flagship store.

But Royce was in a hurry and made several video calls every day.

As a last resort, Song Ji had to ask someone to queue up for him, and finally bought four mobile phones at a high price, and then found someone to help Royce take them abroad.

Royce used the phone himself first, and soon he immediately called together the company's senior technical staff.

The senior technical personnel on site have different skin colors, but they are all absolutely top industry elites.

In world-class technology companies where elites gather, these top elite technicians rarely encounter technologies they have not seen before.

But today's magical mobile phone was something they had never heard of or seen before, and they were all stunned.

"OMG! I can't believe I smell roasting turkey in my office. It reminds me of my great-grandmother, who roasted turkey. It was so delicious."

"Mr. Royce, are you really not playing a joke on us? If so, I think it's very funny. I was really fooled by you just now."

Royce changed to a video of baking Italian pizza, then making Wellington steak and baking egg tarts...

"Mr. Royce, how did you do that?"

Royce: "I didn't do that. The smell you smelled was created by this phone."

"Is this the one Mr. Royce has?"

Royce gave each of them a phone and said, "I called everyone here today so that you can study it and see what's so magical about this phone."

The senior technical staff took the phone and started to operate it. Then they were stunned. Then they opened their eyes wide and began to explore every function and software excitedly.

They were all playing with their phones when Royce's voice rang out beside them: "First and foremost, as you've all just seen, this phone can simulate the smells in the video."

Although they had just smelled the smell of this phone, after getting it, they still chose a food video and verified the olfactory function themselves.

Then Royce said, "The second point is that this phone is said to never need charging."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the battery level, which showed 100%. However, it was impossible for a new phone to be fully charged when it left the factory, especially after they had used it for a while and watched videos and tested games.

Before they could ask why it never needed to be recharged, Royce dropped another bombshell.

"The last and most important point is that the brand said it's equipped with a 0.22nm chip."

The conference room was silent for a moment, and then immediately exploded.

"0.22nm, how is that possible? How can there be a 0.22nm chip in this world?"

"0.22nm? That's ridiculous."

Royce placed the previously disassembled phone in front of them and pointed at the chip, which was no bigger than a grain of rice. "This is their chip."

Pointing to the energy converter, he said, "This is the battery they claim doesn't need to be charged."

"And this one," Royce pointed at the odor molecule sensor, "is the component that simulates the smell."

The senior technical personnel present were all knowledgeable, but they didn't recognize any of the electronic components in front of them.

Royce: "I called you here because I want you to figure out what kind of technology is hidden in here and whether we can crack it."

The senior technical staff returned to the R&D room. There were even more world elites here, but none of them knew how to use this tiny mobile phone.

The chip design was different from what they knew, and they didn't know how to start testing it. They were afraid that if they made a mistake, the chip would be destroyed.

As for energy harvesters and odor molecule sensors, they were even more confused.

So Roy invited several experts to serve as consultants overnight. With the cooperation of the world's top microelectronics experts, they finally verified the authenticity of the chip.

The silicon-based chip has reached the limit of 0.22nm in silicon atom diameter, and each silicon atom is packed with a transistor. The more advanced the technology, the smaller the diameter of the silicon atom will be, the more transistors can be packed in, the smaller the chip manufactured will be, and the processing speed will naturally be faster.

This is why the chip of the "XIU" mobile phone is smaller than a grain of rice, but can have a rocket-like processing speed.

Similarly, it also shows that the chip of the "XIU" mobile phone has a leapfrog technological breakthrough.

It is extremely difficult, the threshold is extremely high, and the investment required is also huge, which is beyond their reach.

Not to mention making it, it took them nearly half a month to even figure out the identity of the chip.

Moreover, they only figured out the identity of the chip; the energy harvester and odor molecule sensor remain a mystery.

Although there were many regrets and shortcomings in the process of exploration, such a challenging exploration still made the participating experts excited.

"Mr. Royce, I forgot to ask you, where did this chip and phone come from?"

The experts who witnessed the 0.22nm silicon-based chip on site all wanted to learn more about the advanced technology of silicon-based chips. It would be even better if they had the opportunity to witness and learn on site.

"I asked someone in Country Z to buy it for me. It's a newly established brand."

The experts looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Country Z?"

"Mr. Royce, are you sure it's really China? As far as I know, they don't have this technology. Their domestic technology can only produce 7nm silicon-based chips."

Country Z started late in developing semiconductor technology and has been in the catching-up stage ever since.

There are several countries with more advanced semiconductor technology than them. How is it possible that others have not yet made it, but they have made it first? This is illogical.

An expert offered his own opinion: "Is it possible that they purchased the chips from abroad?"

"Which country is it? Why haven't we heard anything about it?"

"Aren't advanced chips from any region or country prohibited from being sold to Country Z?"

"So what you're saying is that the region and country that produced the 0.22nm chip secretly sold it to Country Z without telling them?"

"I don't know, and I can't guess which region or country will suddenly have a breakthrough in technology."

They guessed several countries and regions with leading semiconductor technology, but could not come up with a definite result.

Because they are too familiar with these regions and countries, it seems unlikely that they have the ability to master 0.22nm silicon-based chip technology.

This is a technology that can bring about earth-shaking changes in the world's technology!

Obviously, Country Z is even less like that.

However, what they don't know is that there is a city in Country Z that is least likely to master advanced semiconductor technology.

Others are working on another technology that could revolutionize the lives of patients around the world.

Many months later, Zhang Ji came to Dai Li's company again with a smile on his face.

It is visible to the naked eye that Dai Li's company has grown a lot.

"It's better if there are more people here, Teacher Xiaodai. It's more popular." It's no longer just cat-like.

Zhang Ji was always on guard against the cat housekeeper. During his time at Dai Li's place, he had been ridiculed by the cat housekeeper many times, and now he had a psychological trauma against cats.

If you meet a wild cat on the road, you are afraid that it will suddenly curse you.

"See you again meow, stupid human meow?"

Zhang Ji was feeling so thankful when he suddenly heard the familiar voice of the cat housekeeper, coming from above his head.

He looked up in pursuit of the sound and saw the little Sanhua lying on the ceiling, licking its fur lazily.

Zhang Ji's eyes widened in surprise: "Why doesn't it fall off? And why did it turn into three flowers?"

Xiao Sanhua likes to see others being scared by it. Dai Li doesn't allow it to scare people outside. It's boring if Wu Xuelin can't be scared, and other people in the company have become accustomed to it. It has lost a lot of fun recently.

Zhang Ji came and it found fun again.

It jumped down from the ceiling, landed lightly on all fours, and flicked its tail.

"You're still as stupid as ever, meow."

Dai Li frowned slightly and said, "Stop playing around, we need to talk about business."

Little Sanhua drooped her ears, rubbed Dai Li's trouser legs gently and acted coquettishly, then ran away tactfully.

Zhang Ji's partner couldn't help laughing. After all, Zhang Ji was a section chief and was respected wherever he went. But only here, he was bullied by the cat housekeeper every time.

Zhang Ji wiped the sweat off his face awkwardly and handed the documents he brought to Dai Li.

"These are the regulations of our revised charter. If you, Teacher Xiao Dai, have no objections to the details, we will sign the authorization letter today. Within the regulated project, your company will no longer be able to casually cultivate bionic organs. You must first obtain review and approval from our regulatory authorities before you can begin cultivating bionic organs for patients. You are also not allowed to raise prices arbitrarily. If this involves cost increases, you must submit a letter of application to us first."

Dai Li has read the charter rules several times and pointed out any problems. Now this version is the final version agreed upon by both parties.

They signed the authorization on the spot.

Everyone in the company was very curious about what happened in the morning.

You don’t have to guess what big job their boss has taken on.

But they never expected that the job Boss Dai took on was so big.

It has completely exceeded their imagination.

It turns out that energy collectors and mobile phones with olfactory functions are not the limits of Dai Li's abilities.

Looking at the freshly beating heart, the clean and beautiful lungs, and the paired kidneys...

If they hadn't known in advance that these were bionic organs, they would have really worried that Boss Dai was doing something illegal behind their backs.

Among this group of organs, a set of human teeth stands out.

"Boss Dai, why are you still in the denture business?"

Dai Li: "That's a bionic tooth. It can connect to the dental nerves and replace decayed teeth."

The employee was overjoyed: "Boss, are you saying that my rotten teeth can be saved?"
