Volume 1, 1st Pot of Gold, Chapter 674, Prologue to the PM Era

Next chapter

Recently, the appearance rate of the name of the Future People Group is a bit high, so that many media have begun to discuss whether to ask the CEO of the Future People Group to collect advertising fees. ∷∷，

At the same time that Jiang Chen arrived on Papua Island, the world was boiling again because of a piece of news.

The New York Times: "Future People Heavy Industries announced that there has been a major breakthrough in the research field of semiconductor-type graphene materials, and the 5nm curse that silicon chips cannot break through is expected to be easily surpassed." By 2020, the world's electronics industry is expected to enter the PM era!" (1nm=1000pm)

The Guardian: "Incredible research results, a professor of materials science at the University of Cambridge clearly said that the Future People Group may once again use technology to change our tomorrow." ”

France's "Le Monde": "Lu Yuan, a Chinese scientist affiliated with the Materials Science Laboratory of the Future People Group, will be nominated for the 2018 Nobel Prize in Science. ”

Xiangjiang's "South China Morning Post": "The mainland can produce many people, and Moore's law, which has run out of gas, may be renewed by this man!"

Global Times: "......"

It is well known that conventional graphene has no band gap, and its special corrugated valence and conduction bands are actually linked together, which makes it more like a metal than a semiconductor.

Future Heavy Industries announced that their researchers have found that using silicon carbide as a raw material, it can be decomposed and formed into a graphene layer by a certain heat treatment, and graphene monoliths with an energy band greater than 1.10ev can be obtained in the buffer layer.

This is already very close to the 1.12EV of silicon material, making graphene chips possible!

The heavy breakthrough made by Future People Heavy Industry in the field of graphene caught well-known CPU R&D and manufacturers such as Intel and AMD off guard. Nasdaq tech stocks opened in the green, scaring Wall Street investors into crying for their mothers.

Why, it's easy to see!

Once semiconductor graphene materials are available, it will mean that silicon chips will come to an end completely, and it is only a matter of time before smaller graphene transistors are eliminated. It's like a steam engine, no matter how fast it runs, can it outrun the internal combustion engine?

These investors are better creatures than monkeys, and if other companies boast that they have created global II, virtual reality, and graphene chips, they may only smile disdainfully: "Hmph, when Lao Tzu is a new shareholder?

But the Future People Group is different, everything they announced they wanted to engage in, without exception, was realized.

It is unclear whether Intel and AMD will fall from the altar like Kodak, and Wall Street investors have already sold their stocks anyway.

The trend of Kodak's stock price at the beginning is still fresh in the memory of these investors. From $31 billion in February 1997 to a crazy $2.1 billion in September 2011, this roller coaster ride is simply more exciting than the A-shares on the other side of the ocean!

In the context of sluggish technology stocks, what the Boston consortium did not expect was that the stock price of Boston Technology was unexpectedly extremely strong. The subsidiary of the Future Man Group is still in the IPO process, and investors have to vent their enthusiasm on Boston Bank and Boston Scientific, which have a cooperative relationship with the Future Man Group. While it's uncertain whether the two sides might collaborate in the field of graphene, isn't investing in this stuff a gamble?

If you get it right, it's the second Intel!

This kind of happiness of lying down and picking up money really surprised Carson Lodge. John Lawrence, who was originally opposed to cooperating with the Future People Group to develop the North American market, was also secretly glad that the result of the original vote was made.

No, just when the world was discussing the breakthrough of Future People Heavy Industry in the field of graphene, the Wall Street Journal broke another piece of heavy news.

According to a senior official of the patent office who did not want to be named, Futureren Heavy Industry has submitted a total of 2,000 patent applications in the past week! From the preparation of graphene transistors to graphene chips, Futureren Heavy Industries has been preemptively registered.

The White House is both happy and surprised by this, and is glad that the Future People Group is finally willing to register a patent. What is surprising is that the future of people and heavy industries has almost blocked all the ways of developing graphene chips! Many materials science laboratories that have cooperated with the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have directly lost hundreds of millions of dollars in investment.

People have already slapped the results of their research on the table and applied for patents.

In the next two decades, any company that wants to produce graphene chips will pay high royalties to the Future People Group......

Regarding the registration of the patent, it was Jiang Chen's decision after some careful consideration.

Different from neural access and mature artificial intelligence technology, the technical span of graphene is not large, just like the solid-state lithium-air battery of Future People's Heavy Industry. Perhaps in a few years, these technologies will come out of the real room.

And Dr. Lu Yuan of the Materials Science Office also corroborated Jiang Chen's views.

Referring to papers in international journals such as Nature and Science, he made a more optimistic judgment. Soon, perhaps in 2020, there will be a leap breakthrough in the industrial production technology of graphene.

Therefore, the Future People Group has registered a total of 2,000 patents for graphene-related research achievements in many countries in China, the United States, Europe and Russia through the International Patent Organization for the first time, setting up a barrier thicker than the Great Wall at the patent level, and establishing the monopoly of the Future People Group on graphene chips.

Of course, the registered patent is only for the product, not for the production process.

The difficulty of graphene research is how to carry out industrial production and the preparation of graphene materials with different properties. Without key production technology, even if a sample of a graphene chip is obtained, it will at most provide an idea for the real thing, and it is difficult to reverse engineer the production process.

The production of all chips will be completed in the high-tech industrial park on Anga Island, and Jiang Chen has no plans to build factories in other countries, so naturally he does not need to go public in exchange for the protection of intellectual property rights.

During this visit to the New Malaysia Special Economic Zone, Jiang Chen had two main things to do.

First of all, half of the 80 million tonnes of ore supply contract with BHP Mining Group has been depleted, as the construction project in Penglai City has led to a recovery in the price of iron, aluminum and other metal ores. Luke Joyce is not stupid, and of course it is impossible to continue to renew his contract with the Future People Group at cost price.

This time, Jiang Chen came to the Singapore and Malaysia Special Economic Zone to negotiate with the boss of BHP Group and discuss the renewal of the contract.

The second thing is that Jiang Chen is preparing to inspect the production situation in the Singapore-Malaysia Special Economic Zone.

The technical problems of graphene chips have been solved, and it is certainly impossible for the Future People Group to only sell chips, but also to develop downstream industries. Mobile phones, tablets, PCs, these will be able to be done by the future heavy industry! If you can't do it, you will have to do it by acquiring some subsidiaries! )
