Qingda Lotus Building, old wooden high and low beds.

It took Wang Anran three days to figure out that he had indeed come to 1993, as for whether it was a time lapse or a parallel universe, he still couldn't understand it with his cognition, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that he was healthy.

After years of overwork in his previous life, his body had collapsed in 2018, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, coronary heart disease, which seriously damaged his body, and the most desperate thing was that his kidneys were also weakening, and he had to go to the toilet five or six times every night, which was miserable.

"It's nice to be young!"

Wang Anran took a deep breath, he swore that he must take good care of his body in this life and not overdraft early.

On the table was a plane ticket to California, a scene that often appeared in his mind, and he didn't expect that one day it would actually appear in front of him again.

"It's not a ticket, it's an opportunity, an opportunity that many students in this country dream of. ”

But this opportunity is like chicken ribs for Wang Anran today. In terms of knowledge, he is 25 years ahead of the latest chip technology in the United States, and it can be said that when he went to the United States to study, he basically reviewed his homework.

If it's just to go to the United States to gild it, forget it, Wang Anran doesn't need it, what he needs now is time, if this era is no different from before, the toothpaste factory has released the Pentium processor, and the subsequent massage parlor is close behind,

As for Sister Wang's VIA, it will take five or six years to really enter the CPU industry, and VIA's presence on desktop processors is extremely low, which is basically the existence of soy sauce.

If Intel and AMD mature in the multimedia x86 instruction set and x64-bit instruction set, a patent barrier will be firmly built on the x86 architecture, and no chip company in the world will be able to bypass this wall.

In 2000, VIA's chipset was in the market, which was the representative of cost performance, and the market share was also considerable, but AMD and intel subsequently canceled the chipset authorization of VIA, and the huge business empire collapsed in an instant.

What's more, in 2016, Intel and AMD reached a consensus to cancel the X86 authorization for other chip design companies.

And now it's 1993, and there's still a chance, the x86 architecture is facing the challenge of IBM and Apple, and now you need to get a ticket to the market, get the license for x86, whether it's Intel or AMD, or you can buy Cyrix (the CPU division of silicon was acquired by VIA in 1996), but come to think of it, the American government will definitely not agree to such an acquisition.

As for going to the United States or not going to the United States, Wang Anran weighed the pros and cons and found that the only advantage of going to the United States is to develop a good ecology of the IT industry in Silicon Valley in the United States, with a concentration of talents from major universities.

The textbooks of major universities are still printed with semiconductor integrated circuits researched by the United States in the forties and fifties, and single-chip microcomputer technology is only studied at the master's and doctoral levels.

After thinking about it again, Wang Anran suppressed his excitement, gently picked up the ticket, and ...... Split in two, then fold and ...... Split in two again until it can't be folded......

As soon as the finger loosened, coin-sized pieces of paper fluttered all over the table.

Wang Anran suddenly thought of a question, if you really want to go, how to end it......

The door opened, and when the visitor saw the pieces of paper on the table, he was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to realize something, and shouted at the top of his voice: "You are crazy, Wang Anran, you ...... Ticket...... Torn!"

The person who came was Sima Nan, Wang Anran's roommate, this guy didn't catch up with this opportunity, decided to give up the job assigned by the state, continued to take the postgraduate examination, and finally finally at the graduate level, he successfully obtained the opportunity to study abroad guaranteed by the state, but in the following decades, there was no contact, and he did not hear Sima Nan's name in the academic circle.

Sima Nan grabbed the piece of paper on the table, his eyes red.

"Wang Anran, do you know what you're doing?"

"You are ruthless, you actually gave up the opportunity to study abroad for her!"

"In that case, why did you fight me for this opportunity in the first place?"

“......”

Wang Anran was a little embarrassed, he couldn't interject, shouldn't it be an old classmate catching up and talking about wine at this time!

Oh, by the way, for Sima Nan, he has never left, let alone reminiscing about the past, take a good look at his thoughts, it's a big deal, Wang Anran suddenly remembered something.

I did a foolish thing two days ago.

Shan Lei, a name with a long impression, an image appeared in front of her eyes, with a ponytail, often wearing a light blue really good shirt, put on a pair of green military pants, with a concave and convex figure, a delicate face, and an absolutely popular existence in Qingda, where wolves have more meat and less meat.

The two are in the same department and different classes, that is, the day before yesterday, the whole class ate a casual meal, and I don't know if it was because I drank too much or which nerve in my brain was wrong.

After eating, Wang Anran went to Shan Lei's dormitory to confess and received a good person card.

After arriving in the United States, the other party encouraged him to study hard, study hard, and strive to become a useful person for the country and the nation as soon as possible.

Wang Anran clearly remembered the scene at that time, and he was very moved, worthy of being the girl he liked, not only beautiful, but also too high.

Thinking about it now, it's really stupid and naïve.

When I first arrived in the United States, the most painful thing was that I didn't miss my parents, but I missed her, and I was even more vaguely anxious about whether my goddess would be picked up by other boys.

However, after a few letters, it was not salty or light, and gradually cut off contact, a few years later, Wang Anran returned to China once, and his friend Wu Xin told him that Shan Lei had never been married.

Of course, it didn't matter at that time, after completing his studies, Wang Anran was faced with whether to stay in the United States or return to China for development.

As today, Wang Anran carefully pondered the pros and cons, and finally decided to stay in the United States at that time.

One of the important reasons is that his mentor Dr. Watson recommended Wang Anran to IBM's minicomputer chip division, which undoubtedly had a huge attraction for Wang Anran, who planned to make a difference in the chip industry at that time.

In the next 20 years, there is nothing to say, Wang Anran's life is nothing but work and study, absorbing the latest knowledge every day.

Finally, at the age of nearly 50, he became an AMD VVV-level chip architecture engineer.

And after Jim Keller left in 2015, he led the research and development of Zen architecture Ryzen processors, and four years later, he pressed Intel's core to the ground and rubbed it.

For this day, Wang Anran has lost too much......

He didn't have time to return to China, he lost the opportunity to accompany his family, he was alone, he had no emotional life, and like many Chinese studying abroad, Wang Anran became an American citizen.

Because of the industry.

When he first joined IBM, Wang Anran was required to contact his supervisor only through a single line, and was not allowed to communicate with other engineers.

The U.S. government's security department requires that all high-tech industries in the United States need to be shielded from illiberal countries......

After thinking about it, it was like a lifetime away, and when I came back to my senses, I didn't see Sima Nan's figure.

At this time, there were very few people in the dormitory building, and most of them had graduated and been assigned to various enterprises and institutions in their hometowns, and the entire corridor was empty.

I was a little hungry and went to the cafeteria to eat, in this era, college students are national hukou, not only do they not need to pay a penny, but they also have dozens of subsidies every month, holding a large bowl of porcelain jars, walking out of the door, and humming a small tune unconsciously in their mouths.

"We, the people, are so happy today......

On the third floor of the 5# teaching building, counselor Liu Xiangmin poured a sip of barley tea, it was just July, and the weather in the capital was already very hot.

At this time, sending away the old students, not yet welcoming the new students, as long as you send this batch of students on the plane, you can spend a comfortable summer vacation.

This kind of life is exactly what he is looking forward to.

I opened my notebook and was about to conceive a work plan for the second half of the year, and as soon as I picked up the pen, I heard a knock at the door, and the sound was urgent.

Liu Xiangmin frowned slightly, "Come in!"

Sima Nan pushed open the door and strode over to the counselor's desk.

Liu Xiangmin took a sip of the teapot and said with a mist: "It turned out to be Sima Nan, you are in such a hurry, is there something wrong with me?"

"Teacher Liu, I have an emergency to report to you!"

Immediately, Sima Nan told Wang Anran about tearing up the ticket and his guesses one by one.

"Teacher Liu, this Wang Anran is really nonsense, he didn't cherish such a precious opportunity to study abroad, he shouldn't have competed in the first place, and now there is a hole vacated, and there is no radish to fill in, this is a waste of socialist resources, and it is digging a corner of socialism! And I heard that the reason why Wang Anran did this is that he likes a girl!"

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Xiangmin had a big head for a while, and the set quota for studying abroad had an accident at this time, and if it was not done well, it would be a teaching accident, and it would even affect his future.

"It's true, Mr. Liu, just the day before yesterday, Wang Anran ran went downstairs to Shan Lei's dormitory, Wang Anran's matter must have something to do with this......"
