Rebirth: Fight For Life

   Chapter 674 Harvest Foreign IQ Tax

  Kevin was one of the people who felt the coldest heart in the audience.

  After today, there is no doubt that the rover's share price will go all the way up.

   But with the advent of the general-purpose quantum computer, there is no doubt that the life cycle expectations of the entire computer industry, from CPU to memory, have been greatly reduced.

   As a product that is likely to withdraw from the stage of history, how optimistic can the future of this industry be?

  The problem is that in the past three years, Kevin has been in charge, but a lot of money has been invested in this field.

  3D flash memory, fourth-generation memory, CPU... The total scale of technology transfer costs and funds invested in industrial upgrading is more than 100 billion.

  These inputs, that is, from the beginning of a few years, have only started to return stable output.

   Now suddenly a general-purpose quantum computer has been born... How long can I make this piece of money? I'm afraid it will be twice as short as the original estimated time?

   Everything depends on Gu Song's technical iteration speed.

   If the second generation of Divine Might, released next year, directly enters the 10,000-level or even 100,000-level qubit, Kevin will only accept it numbly.

   After all, it is Gu Song who has been creating miracles.

  As a first-hand core patent operator outside the Flint Group, Kevin will not lose money. He paid Gu Song the money, and the companies that obtained the patent authorization from him also paid him the money.

   However, in order to make enough money in this matter, it also depends on longer licensing fees.

   Especially the big head at the back, which is directly linked to shipments.

   Now, times have changed.

   Such a huge amount of capital has been three years. If you can’t make more than twice as much, what’s the difference with losing money?

  Kevin felt utterly cold for a partner in an entire industry.

  …

As soon as the    press conference was over, the stocks of Digital China and Roamer on the stock market rose.

  Under the condition of not knowing the truth, other companies that have research in the field of quantum computing, including Intel, have also risen.

   But those who really understand this immeasurable edge know that there may be some short-term speculation here.

   The giants under the existing computing architecture obviously cannot maintain their previous positions in the field of quantum computing in the future. The decline of their stocks is a general trend, but the analysis of various aspects is not so thorough now.

   And as soon as the press conference was over, the question before big companies and big people came.

  These 15 Shenwei Boundaries are in stock, should I buy them or not?

   If you buy it, it will cost $66.66 million. With such a large investment, the necessary internal decision-making procedures must be taken.

   If you want to go through the decision-making process, if there is a real opponent who is very courageous, he will act immediately and look at the world. There are definitely many teams and even countries with such strength. At that time, we need to wait for the order to be produced, and what should I do if the goods are received in a few months?

   Is this time just wasted?

  Don't buy... More is just the decision of some people who can't afford it at all, or have a hard time buying it.

   Some people also think that this price is a bit of an IQ tax.

  Because of the Flint Group, it is obvious that the technology it has mastered is far more than 128 qubits.

   Knowing that someone has a good sword in their hand, but buying a sword hilt from someone else at a huge price to study it back, how do some people mean that they are stupid and have more money.

   The problem is... the sword can't be seen, it's well hidden...

  …

  The technology of quantum computing is an absolute bargaining chip and will not be released for the time being.

   But the product is different.

   In this regard, Gu Song got permission.

   Because this involves issues of standards and right to speak.

  The Flint Group has proven that quantum computers are feasible, and a lot of money has been invested in this field. It is only a matter of time before people make breakthroughs.

   It is better to take action now than when others have their own routes, and rely on their accumulated industrial influence to force bad money to drive out good money.

   consumes the morale of others, consumes their research time in this field, and divides their camps.

   It depends on how to use the means in the next summit and subsequent industry exchanges.

  How difficult is it to analyze a complete set of technologies from these products?

   Besides, there are only so many units in total now, what should I do if it breaks?

   This divine power is immeasurable, is it so easy to dismantle?

   At least the so-called high-temperature superconducting material actually only refers to the temperature above liquid nitrogen, which is also many degrees below zero! The core of quantum computing is sealed in such an environment.

  Gu Song estimates that they will carefully observe and analyze the operating state, and then first come to the first conclusion: the Flint Group has mastered a high-temperature superconducting material.

  If they are ruthless and risk damaging this high-priced quantum computer, disassemble everything and analyze the material, they will come to a conclusion about what this material is.

and then?

   At an expensive cost, imitate one?

  Which is so easy, all the supporting parts are more than one material that constitutes the quantum gate.

   So, now I'm not afraid to sell products, just see if anyone buys them.

  …

   Such a strategic product, why worry about sales?

  Less than an hour after the end of the conference, the first order was confirmed.

   Like a blowout, in the next half an hour, dozens of formal order requests were received.

  Without bargaining, I just want to get it as soon as possible and start research.

   Among the buyers, there are giants like Intel, Microsoft, Apple, someone like Kevin, and of course there are official scientific research institutions in some countries.

   The Flint Group's reply is very simple, as long as you come with formal procedures, and you can pay immediately after signing the contract, then the contract will be signed and delivered on a first-come-first-served basis.

   So before the space development summit started, I didn't even get a chance to chat with Gu Song alone, so I had to endure the discomfort of being charged an IQ tax, and queued up to sign a contract with the Flint Group to pay.

   This is no small sum of money.

   One unit is $66.66 million, how much is 50 units? Over $3 billion.

   In such a state of mind, is it really okay to participate in the summit again?

   An idea of ​​why we are so weak began to spread in the hearts of some people...

  …

  Domestic, naturally there is no such a big deal.

   First of all, the key institutions have obtained the technical principles as early as the beginning of last year and started their own research in specific fields.

  The official organization has no idea of ​​competing with the Flint Group for industrial interests.

   An unofficial business... Competing with the Flint Group in this field?

   That is too much.

   So when this news was reported, the general public in China really felt from their hearts that the times have really changed.

  When did Huaguo suddenly have a product like the high-end lithography machine in the past, the only one in the world, it was ridiculously expensive. And no matter how hard your background is and how big your wealth is, you can only buy it here?

   When the 50th order was signed, less than 48 hours had passed since the end of the conference.

   In 2 days, the rover harvested 3.333 billion US dollars from the world's major giants and even major countries.

   Guo Wei made a lot of money with the money he invested in the Frontier Fund!

  15 sets of Shenwei Infinite, under the personal **** of all parties, were transported from the factory in Wuhu, to the wharf, packed and shipped.

   In Yanjing, on September 12, the high-level summit on space development that had been prepared for many days was finally held.

   There is no opening ceremony like a cutscene, no reporters.

   In the largest conference room of the Yanjing Hotel, relevant participants gathered together.

   There is a round conference table in the middle, and the people sitting are very important.

   Bao Jiaqi and Diane sit opposite each other.

  Gu Song was sitting next to Bao Jiaqi, and the opposite of him happened to be Musk.

   The chief officer of the Huaguo Space System, the head of NASA, is exactly opposite.

   At this round table, Flint Aerospace occupied two seats, and Jian Yushu was also present.

   In addition, there are representatives of major countries that already have independent space exploration capabilities.

   In the annular seating area outside the round table, there are other delegates, most of whom are parties to the Outer Space Treaty, those who do not have much capacity for independent space.

   The distinction between primary and secondary is clear at a glance.

   Inviting them to participate is a gesture.

   But the rules will only be decided within the scope of this round table!

   Thanks Sikong Haohan for the reward!
