But it will take at least two years until the Queen's maiden voyage.

After throwing all the money in this year's plan out of the bank, the wallet is empty, and the end of the year is approaching. Joanna and An Feng spent a Thanksgiving without turkey, they are not Americans, it doesn't matter if the holiday is over, but they volunteer with the school girls, busy but fun.

After Thanksgiving, it was December, and universities around the country began to count down to the holidays, and Joanna was also planning holiday activities as she prepared for her exams. An Feng is responsible for looking for strategies on the Internet according to her requirements and choosing the one she likes...... The days were quiet until the GP gave him a notice.

The graphene chip is finally a success!

The news came a little late, according to An Feng's original prediction, it would be possible to get it out in three or five months, but now it has taken almost a year. It can be seen that the gap between the ideal and the reality is not small, and even if the theory is completely correct, the experts of the technical group still have a long way to go.

But a breakthrough is a good thing, it means that there is money to be made again.

An Feng finally felt the urgency of lack of money, and when he first started to sell Tailan shares, how should he spend more than a billion yuan, but the personal plan was implemented uniformly, and the wallet was immediately empty. There is a lot of money in an offshore account, but it is a corporate nature and not as convenient as a private account.

The market potential of graphene chips is no worse than that of super batteries, and even it is easier to popularize the public, which can drive the revolution of chip technology.

An Feng's special plane flew to Texas and landed at Austin Airport, and the company sent a special car to pick him up. It's very interesting, it's actually a Truss MODEL-S.

Due to the power of GP Energy, Tesla, which has a particularly huge demand for super batteries, is closely following them.

The driver opened the rear door for him, An Feng got into the car, the electric car started quietly, and the calm and uniform speed of Mercedes on the road felt very different from the gasoline car. It's too quiet to drive, and if Tesla puts a little more effort into the interior and suspension, you won't even feel like you're in the car when you close your eyes.

But the workmanship of the American car ...... This is still not discussed.

"Is it with a new type of battery?" An Feng asked boredly.

The driver nodded, "Yes, sir." IT LOOKS LIKE A REGULAR MODEL-S, BUT IT USES THE COMPANY'S SUPER BATTERY DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR TESLA, AND IT HAS AN OUTSTANDING RANGE. Able to reach more than 650 kilometers, the Supercharger station is charged 70% in five minutes and fully charged in ten minutes. ”

An Feng said: "There are very few supercharging stations in Texas, right? And what about the ordinary ones? ”

The driver replied: "The wall-mounted high-voltage charging takes twenty-five minutes to fully charge, while the ordinary household charging plug takes about forty minutes." ”

"Very good!" An Feng finally felt that the future was close to him, starting with super batteries, and then super chips, and slowly driving various fields.

The driver is a chatterbox. He couldn't stop when he saw An Feng speak: "Recently, Tesla can be described as a star in the automotive industry, and signed a ten-year super battery supply contract with GP Energy, and the electric vehicle market in the United States may be dominated by it in the future, and the recent stock has also doubled." ”

An Feng smiled and asked, "Did you buy Tesla shares?" ”

The driver also smiled: "After GP announced a breakthrough in super battery technology, I bought a little Tesla stock as soon as possible, and now it has more than doubled, but unfortunately it is not the original stock, the guy who takes the original stock is the most profitable." More than 200 times, it can be called a millionaire mass production place. ”

An Feng quipped: "Then GP Energy will go public." Everyone has to rush to buy it. “

The driver said, "Of course, I'm very bullish on it." ”

Chatting all the way to the company, two months no-see, the land next to it has become a construction site, I heard the driver say that a new building is being built, taking into account office and scientific and technological research and development. There is also a helipad on the roof. This An Feng praised, the designer is good, the big boss is to have a special apron on the roof.

The electric car made a special detour and drove onto a makeshift road in front of the company's six-story office building. Stopped steadily, the female assistant Eve had been waiting for a long time, she quickly stepped forward and pulled the car door, An Feng got out of the car, looked up at the office building, and walked towards the main entrance.

An Feng said as he walked: "It's been going well recently, right?" ”

Eve nodded: "The company's operation is good, GP Energy's No. 1 workshop will be operating by the end of the year, and No. 2 and No. 3 are expected to be completed in the second half of next year." ”

An Feng looked at her with a smile: "I mean you, can you get used to a busy life?" ”

With John's experience, he was right to ask, he did like to put things on the assistant secretary and go about himself.

Eve smiled: "Mr. Xie Lu Xie An cares, the work is very challenging, but I can do it well." ”

An Feng nodded: "I believe in you." ”

Eve's job is not bad, although there is still a gap with the skilled and talented John, but for An Feng, who doesn't like to change hands frequently and is a little nostalgic, as long as it is not a fatal flaw, he plans to slowly cultivate into a trustworthy cronie. Eve is a candidate.

When I came to the laboratory, I hugged Song Wenrui, who I hadn't seen for a long time, and said to the group members: "Congratulations! Such a great New Year's gift for everyone! ”

Song Wenrui said: "Fortunately, I have the strong support of Mr. ”

An Feng smiled and said: "You are too modest, without your work, where would you be able to have this beautiful today?" ”

An Feng's words are very useful to the employees, although they are doing the finishing work, the real pioneer has always been this somewhat unpredictable young boss, but to be able to contribute to the Great Wall of science and technology, witness its breakthrough rise, is a lifetime worth remembering the glory.

After the greetings, the personality of the engineering man was revealed, and everyone got to the point and showed the samples. It's a computer about the size of a home computer case.

Song Wenrui said: "We successfully installed graphene chips into the computer body and assembled it into a small computer, which has 16 super processor chips built-in. But we were not prepared in other areas other than chips, and the minicomputer was made in cooperation with IBM. ”

He continued: "The processor chips use IBM's POWER architecture, and the other hardware is taken from suppliers in various fields, and the R&D team is currently considering whether to develop our own processor architecture, or according to IBM's idea, we will cooperate with it and take off-the-shelf products." ”

There are many doorways for processor chips, minicomputers, servers, these are a little far away from ordinary people, in terms of the current household microcomputer, the chip is nothing more than Intel or AMD, it seems to be different, but they all use X86 architecture, microcomputer companies in other countries want to manufacture chips, they must have X86 authorization, and X86 patents are in the hands of Intel, it doesn't give, what you do is in vain.

It's pretty much the same for minicomputers and mainframes, and IBM's architecture patents are there.

An Feng has his own ideas, he has a new architecture with strong compatibility in his head, whether it is a microcomputer platform or other mainframe platforms, there are simple instructions or complex instruction sets, and this is much easier than developing chips, just spend a few days to say it.

But now he's concerned with performance: "How does the performance compare?" ”

Song Wenrui said: "Compared with an IBM Power-740 minicomputer, the test product has 32G of memory, and the main frequency of the graphene chip reaches 300GHz, and after a series of complex comprehensive tests, its performance is about 150 times that of the 740, which is comparable to a large computer." ”

"Great!" An Feng said that Zhilu Dao is too complicated and useless, only the strength of Zhilu Dao after comparison, and graphene really did not disappoint him now.

Song Wenrui continued: "And it has very little heat, low power consumption, and the manufacturing cost is about ten times higher than that of computers of the same type. ”

Ten times for hundreds of times the performance, as long as it is not a hot brain, it will be willing to accept, the market for small machines is also huge, if its performance can replace the mainframe, then it can almost monopolize the medium and large machines together. IBM will certainly be in a hurry, but fortunately they also have a stake in GP.

There are too many articles that can be done here, and it is estimated that IBM's senior management should now consider how to bribe the people on the GP side, so that they can fight for more shares, or cooperate in research and development, and devour this huge market. I wonder if their ambitions are rekindled, and they will want to invade the microcomputer market.

But An Feng doesn't want to move the shares of GP anymore, the water is too deep, the consortium family is taking root, if there are outsiders, it is estimated that it is not easy to coordinate, the best way out for graphene chips is to create a subsidiary, and then create a ...... GP Electronics, the last to recruit Magi like last time.

An Feng is not interested in the business fight, the purpose of developing these is to make money, and it is now, but there is one more item: robot companies can use it. He considered building a mainframe machine and moving back to San Francisco to expand into cloud computing as a core server for a robotics company.

Hoffman has been wanting to use GP's graphene computer lately, and in addition to his hobby, he says it can provide a lot of help to research and development.

Even, this weird has plans to set up a small-scale cloud computing network.

The future of cloud computing is interesting, a small mobile device connects to the mainframe through the network, and the computing process takes place entirely on the mainframe, and the device is only responsible for receiving the final data over the network, and in some ways, the computing power of the mobile device is as strong as that of the mainframe.

Expand again, and then add whether it is a notebook, a desktop, or a tablet, there is no need to develop a separate chip, all of them are based on cloud computing, and the computing all happens on the core host, which is fast and powerful...... Speaking of which, An Feng feels that this is the prototype of "Skynet".

Hoffman has gone around this pit!
