Chapter 479: The End of the Semiconductor Giant

(Omitted, let's make up the details by yourself...) )

The Han Kuang exercise is an annual large-scale exercise on the other side of the strait, and this year it was even more pompous, with nearly 200 naval vessels dispatching en masse.

However, at the end of the exercise, on an ordinary night, after several hours of shaking, rocking, and rough waves, a vast land area of tens of thousands of square kilometers of the strait was born.

This vast land that rises from the bottom of the sea not only connects the two sides of the strait, but also traps nearly 200 ships on land, unable to move......

Before dawn, public opinion around the world exploded, governments were collectively confused, and media networks collapsed.

The next day, Huaxia said that due to overload, four second-generation fermion vertical traction instruments purchased from Vientiane at a cost of hundreds of billions of yuan had been destroyed......

……

On the other side, Hsinchu Science Park.

This is where TSMC is headquartered, and although in recent years, TSMC has been severely suppressed by Daqin Electronics Group, and its market value is less than half of its peak, but it is still the largest and most important company on the island.

Not only that, but it also accounts for about half of the world's chip foundry industry, and is one of the world's largest semiconductor companies, as well as the largest chip foundry company.

Of course, in the last few days, due to the emergence of the "new land", the situation of this giant enterprise has become extremely bad, and it can be said that it is in danger - the skin is gone, and the hair will be attached.

This can be seen from the reaction of the stock market, the stock prices of Daqin, Samsung, Qualcomm, Intel and other companies have skyrocketed, while correspondingly, TSMC's stock prices have plummeted.

In just a few days, it is no longer the largest company on the island in terms of market capitalization, and has even fallen out of the top 10.

The global situation became a bit chaotic for a while, and all kinds of moths came to the fore, until the talks between China and the United States began to improve.

In this whirlpool, TSMC is like a defendant without a defense lawyer, struggling nowhere, looking forward to the slim glimmer of life.

The situation that the end is approaching is also clearly reflected in the TSMC headquarters.

The huge company headquarters, as if it had been abandoned, was dull everywhere, sometimes some people left silently with suitcases, and sometimes some people made a lot of noise and cried.

Even the security guards at the gate were listlessly playing with their phones, as if no one was around......

Late at night.

A man in black stood not far from the TSMC headquarters building, wearing a hood, sunglasses, a mask, and gloves, all of which were black, tightly wrapped, and there was hardly a gap.

He was carrying a computer bag, which seemed to be quite heavy, but in his hands it seemed light.

"TSMC ......" Lin Han read softly.

The collapse is imminent, TSMC is already loose and chaotic, and now it is midnight, and there are not many employees left in TSMC headquarters, let alone guarded.

Lin Han just let all the people who were still at the TSMC headquarters fall asleep, so for him, the TSMC headquarters at this time was completely uninhabited.

Of course, monitoring is still a bit cumbersome.

Not to mention anything else, just finding a few small dead ends took him a lot of effort. Even now he is not sure if he will be able to enter a few core locations of the headquarters building without a trace, and then get what he wants: data.

As the world's top semiconductor company, TSMC's accumulation is not trivial, and it is definitely not something that can be measured simply by money.

In fact, the disposal of TSMC has always been the focus of Sino-US negotiations.

According to Lin Han's estimate, most of the company's history is coming to an end, and its technology, market, and talent are ...... will become someone else's food.

Although there are differences on many issues, on the point of "eating TSMC", it is the consensus of several major forces in the Asia-Pacific region, and the question is only who eats or how much.

He could not confirm how much Vientiane would get from the talks. But TSMC's years of technology accumulation, he is bound to win.

After getting three quantum annealing computers from D-AVE, perhaps by accident or by course, the scientific research progress of the Singularity Research Institute on quantum computers, artificial intelligence, computational science and many other contents has shown explosive growth.

Now, the Singularity Research Institute has been able to build a quantum computer that realizes four logical bits through hundreds of physical bits, leading the world, and it can even be said that it has seen the dawn of another era.

In order to promote the scientific research progress of the Singularity Research Institute, Lin Han has actually obtained a lot of technologies "by unscrupulous means".

For example, the thirteen root servers of the global Internet have been stripped by him. Now TSMC is also in trouble.

The monitoring network of TSMC headquarters is isolated from the outside world, so Lin Han must find the boundary of this network and hack the monitoring, and then he can really enter a no-man's land.

It was a bit of a hassle at first, but once he managed to avoid a few cameras that he had to dodge, the rest became much easier.

In the laptop that Lin Han carried, there was a special program made by him, and after hacking the monitoring system, this program was implanted, and a batch of video materials could be quickly selected from the past surveillance video to disguise the surveillance video for the next period of time.

Of course, the videos selected by the program are mostly static and low-dynamic, so if it's not at night, there's a good chance that something will go wrong.

Solve the monitoring system, the entire headquarters building, Lin Han can do whatever he wants.

He successively found several R&D, data, and management departments, entered the system, copied the data, and was busy throughout the second half of the night.

It stands to reason that even at Lin Han's current level, it should not be too easy to break through TSMC's system, at least for a while.

But at this time, there were still some employees staying at TSMC headquarters, most of whom were on computers, which provided Lin Han with great convenience, and the process was very smooth.

Busy until three o'clock in the morning, Lin Han found the office of Zhang Zhongmou, the founder and chairman of the board of directors of TSMC.

Ninety-year-old Zhang Zhongmou was lying quietly on the table at this time, and the computer screen was still on. Lin Han was just about to start copying the information, when he was suddenly stunned.

"Heartbeat...... Stopped?" he looked at the old man Zhang Zhongmou, a little incredulous.

In his perception, the old man's heartbeat had stopped, all vital signs were fading, and his body temperature was rapidly decreasing - TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou died suddenly in a dream, sleeping with the company.

It seems that this semiconductor giant has indeed come to an end......
