Rebirth: Fight For Life

  Chapter 379 Beware of European and American intelligence agencies

   Gun smoke is naturally invisible.

  Currently, it only exists in everyone's mind, not even declared.

   As it happens, the following European keynote speakers also predicted that digital, analog and wireless embedded systems and system-in-package will become the key technologies for mobile terminals.

   This proves that there are not many people who pay attention to the basic technology of mobile Internet.

   In fact, Jonathan, one of the technical leaders of Apple's secretive "Project Purple" project, is already fidgeting.

   He took the time between the keynotes to temporarily leave the venue to call Steve Jobs.

   "Just got an amazing news. The Huaguo Flint Group, which refused to supply our iPod with 3D flash memory because of insufficient capacity, just announced that they would enter the smartphone field."

   "Oh! Garnerson! You should pay attention to more practical cutting-edge technologies, rather than the news of a Chinese company announcing that it will make a mobile phone."

Jonathan, accustomed to his fiery temper, said calmly: "Listen, Steve. From what he described, it was serious. They did a special instruction set architecture, they did a special embedded chip, and even announced that it will release an open source smartphone operating system based on that set of instructions. Oh my god, he also used the metaphor of dos and graphical interface operating systems, and mentioned words such as smartphone evolution. I I have a bad feeling."

   There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a second, then the volume increased a little: "The operating system under the new instruction set? Who will develop the application for him?"

"Hey man, I'm worried right here," Jonathan said anxiously. "You know what else he's announcing? 128G of 3D flash in 2006, 1TB of 3D in 2007. It's not over yet. Guys announced that the Flint Group just finished DDR4 and LPDDR4."

   This time the silence on the other end of the phone was longer. Jonathan asked, "Hello? Are you still listening?"

   "I'm leaving now."

  Jonathan nodded, as expected. Such amazing news has had a huge impact on Apple. No, it should be said that the impact on too many companies is too great.

   He can imagine how the news will be written tomorrow.

  【Unbelievable! Huaguo Enterprise once again said no to the world's flash memory technology roadmap! 】

  【Memory Earthquake! Flint Group completes DDR4 research and development by leaps and bounds! 】

【what can we do? Chinese people point to the three core areas of semiconductors! 】

  【Should you be worried about Nokia? Samsung: I think so, look at me! 】

  …

   A full page probably won’t fit, right?

   Jonathan took a deep breath and walked out of the washroom partition. He took two steps to cover the microphone and whisper, or simply excitedly speaking the language of various countries.

   He tried his best to maintain a calm expression and returned to the venue.

   At the luncheon, I can use the excuse of being the senior director of the iPod product department to pass him on the purchase of 3D flash memory and see if I can find out about the rover smartphone.

  Jonathan can't take it lightly, because from the perspective of the rover mp3 product, their product development capabilities should not be underestimated.

   Although he can't believe it no matter what, how can a company that has not accumulated for a long time be comparable to Apple's smartphone R&D team of nearly 1,000 people.

   But the opponent should not be underestimated, especially if this opponent has already demonstrated a strong strength in one aspect.

  …

  Yanjing, Ministry of Information Industry.

  Han Jingwei asked loudly, "What did you say? Memory? CPU? Operating system?"

"Yes, Professor Liu from Huaqing University was at the scene. He called me after listening to the speech. I remembered it, and this is what he said." In 2009, the price of solid-state drives will be lower than that of mechanical hard drives of the same capacity. This is the first major earthquake, involving many international giants.”

  Han Jingwei knows the ins and outs of 3D flash memory and has done some research. So when he heard these words, his heart was inevitably shaken, but his face was still trying to control it.

"The second news announced by Mr. Gu is memory. He said that Flint Technology has completed the research and development of DDR4 and LPDDR4. I don't understand this. Professor Liu said that the DDR3 standard has not been released yet. If it is true, then it is ahead. The world's best technology is now at least 5 years old, and Mr. Gu mentioned that the proposal is quickly established as an updated standard."

  …At least 5 years ahead of the best technology in the world? This…

  Han Jingwei does not do as much work on memory as flash memory, but he knows that this is a more critical piece of hardware on the computer, and it is the only general standard.

   Across a whole generation?

  Han Jingwei rubbed his palms. He didn't know why, although the room was warm enough, a cool feeling swept over him. "And what about the CPU and operating system?"

"This is the third news announced by Mr. Gu. He said that a new set of reduced instruction sets was completed, and an embedded chip for smartphones was designed based on this reduced instruction set, including the CPU. This instruction set has developed a set of smartphone operating system. Mr. Gu said at the conference that the instruction set and chip architecture will be licensed, and other manufacturers can also use it. The operating system is free and open source.”

  The secretary closed the book: "I went to study the information, Minister, the instruction set is more critical than the CPU. We can't make a domestic CPU because Intel's X86 architecture instruction set is not open for licensing."

  Han Jingwei asked suspiciously: "The CPU of the mobile phone? Not the CPU of the computer?"

   He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The secretary shook his head: "Professor Liu said that this is not the point. He said that Mr. Gu also announced that he would make a smartphone, and he almost took the world's semiconductor industry, from microelectronics equipment manufacturers, to chip design companies, to chip manufacturers, in one breath. Manufacturers, and eventually terminal equipment manufacturers and software providers have all been brought to the battlefield. He feels that Mr. Gu may be in danger now, because the impact of the technology he announced is too great. He is worried that European and American intelligence agencies will attack. Whether it's a frontal win or a black hand, it's all possible."

  Han Jingwei finally opened his mouth in surprise: "He really said that?"

The secretary said solemnly: "Professor Liu made an analogy. In the past, Huaguo couldn't get the authorization of the core technology, couldn't buy the best upstream equipment, and paid expensive patent fees. Or non-critical products. So, in the past, everyone could be in harmony, and people happily made money from the Chinese market. But now, Mr. Gu has turned the table. In the computer market, he moved the cake of memory and flash memory. They all think it is inevitable in the future. Trending mobile communications, smart phones, and mobile Internet, he directly did all the core areas."

"Professor Liu said, if you look at a higher level, you will know how big the impact is. If the core of mobile communications, smart phones, and mobile Internet are mastered by China, what kind of situation will it lead to? The current status of the United States , one of the cornerstones is absolute leadership in the core fields of integrated circuits, computers, and the Internet. This is one of the technological driving forces that may lead to the transfer of superpower status. What's more, Mr. Gu's participation in the development of domestic cutting-edge machine tools must not be abroad. It's a secret."

   "Professor Liu said that he is not announcing good news. The current President Gu needs to be paid attention to with the highest standards!"
