Chapter 180: Google is no longer on the road

The efficiency of the contract finalization is very fast, Li Jun came to the business capital to discuss with Qiu Shiming, Shuguang Technology is leading in the industry, and last year resolutely decided to abandon the previous huge investment and chose the "Tianqing architecture", from this point of view undoubtedly won Qiu Shiming's favor.

The interview and negotiation went smoothly, and Li Jun successfully won the contract order of Tianqing Technology in less than five days after coming to business, and officially provided a supercomputing solution with 243.5 petaflops performance for the data computing center of Tianqing Technology.

On January 13, after the contract was officially signed between Shuguang Technology and Tianqing Technology, Li Jun returned to Tianjing from the commercial capital and held a press conference as soon as possible to announce the news.

The market value of Dawning Technology rose sharply in response, and the market value exceeded RMB in one fell swoop. 40.1 billion.

Nearly 5 billion contract orders, it is impossible for peers to learn the news and say that they are not envious, and even the news has not come out, and the contract has been signed when they know it.

The second round of news of Tianqing Technology in the new year was once again hotly discussed by the media in the science and technology circle because of this contract project, and the last time was the annual report that was just released.

With the further disclosure of relevant news details by Shuguang Technology, Tianqing Technology Company has once again become the object of heated discussion in domestic and foreign media.

No, because Sugon Technology has announced that it will provide supercomputing solutions for Tianqing Technology, and the "Sky Arc 1" will break the world record held by Summit with a performance of 243.5 petaflops (petaflops per second) and become the world's most powerful supercomputer.

It is worth mentioning that Gu Yuan originally wanted to name this supercomputer "Flame Queen" or "Red Queen", but after thinking about it, I felt that it was a bit inappropriate, because there is also a series of movies "Resident Evil" in this world, and it is not good to give such a name to supercomputing, in case it is misunderstood or maliciously interpreted as Tianqing Company wants to be a realistic version of "Ambrera Company".

The "Ambrera Company" in the Resident Evil series of movies is the villain and notorious.

With the confirmation of this news, foreign media, especially those in Europe and the United States, have loaded reports, all of them feel that being rich is capricious, and they have to mention Summit, which only reached the top last year, but I didn't expect it to be surpassed so soon.

At that time, the world's top 5 in the field of supercomputing, the first, fourth, and fifth will all be from China.

And this news reached the ears of major technology companies in Europe and the United States, especially Google and MEAS, which have formed competitors with Tianqing Technology, but they were not happy, and even more nervous.

Originally, last year, North America imposed a series of comprehensive suppressions on Huaguo Technology companies represented by Tianqing Technology, but in fact, it was good for Tianqing Technology itself, and did not suffer too much loss and impact, but some enterprises in North America suffered a heavy blow.

Naturally, Tianqing Company has a certain impact as the main victim, and the revenue in the second quarter of last year is not even as good as the first quarter, which is the most intuitive embodiment, but after the developer conference, it ushered in a Jedi counterattack, and the revenue in the third quarter exploded.

In contrast, European and American companies, especially the major technology companies in North America, are not so good. The loss is not only the two or three billion US dollars of Tianqing Technology's purchases, because Huaguo imports more than 300 billion US dollars of chips a year, half of which are from North America.

At present, even if domestic companies are still purchasing chips from North America on a large scale, the rapid rise of domestic semiconductor companies represented by HiSilicon and the "Tianqing Architecture" represented by the ICT field will undoubtedly make preparations for both, and will further squeeze the market share of North American semiconductor companies in the future, and the world market share.

To say that among the major technology companies in North America, the biggest victim is Qualcomm, because all the chips of Huawei have been replaced by the self-developed Kirin 1020, Huawei has stopped paying patent fees to Qualcomm, and even Samsung has stopped buying Qualcomm's chips.

As the world's top two smartphone manufacturers, the loss to Qualcomm is immeasurable, originally Qualcomm was still in a lawsuit with Apple, and now the two sides have to truce and agree to the outside world.

On the Huaguo side, this time Tianqing Technology built the "Tianarc No. 1", but it inadvertently flapped the "butterfly's wings", but it caused a huge shock in the technology companies in North America.

It's not just Summit that has been surpassed by the Chinese people again, and it is about to fall to the top of the list.

The key is that Tianqing Technology is about to independently operate the world's strongest supercomputer, which has greatly stimulated the sensitive nerves of many high-tech giants in North America.

……

"Damn ......"

Larry Page, who was on vacation on the island, couldn't help but scold when he saw this news: "I know that Tianqing Technology and its founder are the most noteworthy, it seems that my guess is likely to come true, Tianqing Technology may really become the biggest enemy of Silicon Valley in the near future, and we can't sit still, this technology war has become more and more hot." ”

Larry Page pays lip service to Silicon Valley, but he actually refers to North American high-tech companies, because Silicon Valley is the name of a place where technology companies are representative.

Other institutions are building the world's strongest supercomputer, and he doesn't care about it, but it is this company, which shows that the technology of Tianqing Technology is developing very rapidly, so that it needs to operate a supercomputer independently to meet its own development needs.

The speed at which Tianqing Technology is growing has put pressure on North American technology companies, especially those who are competing with them.

Don't look at Larry Page being happy on a private island all day long, in fact, his attention to Tianqing Technology is still high, and he is also a rare person in North America who is extremely wary of Gu Cheng's existence, but Page found that even if he continues to overestimate, he still underestimates the strength of Tianqing Technology and Gu Cheng

……

On the afternoon of January 15. Shangdu. Tianqing Technology Headquarters.

"Haha, I didn't expect Tianqing Technology to have such a big influence in the world now, and I have stimulated a group of high-tech companies in North America to build a supercomputer, and most of them are industry giants." Gu Cheng said with a smile, he really didn't expect that the arrangement of supercomputing would have to benefit from Xiaoqing, who was clamoring to become a "house-owning family", otherwise it would not be so fast, and it would have to wait for a while before arranging it.

Qiu Shiming, who was chatting next to him, said: "Google, as a world-renowned technology giant, has actually been involved in the field of quantum computing for a long time, and the more famous one is Google's participation in the joint investment in the supercomputer of D-Wave Systems in Canada. And just yesterday, Google announced that it was going to build a new lab to study artificial intelligence through quantum computers. Google's quantum computer, which they claim is thousands of times faster than existing supercomputing, is expected to be operational in the third quarter of this year. ”

In Tianqing Technology, the news of "Tianarc No. 1" came out, Google's official Weibo immediately responded in the air, in November last year, IBM released a 50-qubit quantum computer cloud platform, and the heart in Google said that it would go from 50 qubits to 72 qubits at once.

Even Lockheed Martin later announced the purchase of the first commercial quantum computer from D-Wave for test and measurement work, such as the design of jet planes or the reliability of satellite systems.

Lao Qiu couldn't help but worry: "According to Google, they already seem to have quantum supremacy, capable of beating any of the fastest classical supercomputers in the world." ”

Gu Cheng said with a smile: "Google is also a listed company, it needs a gimmick to maintain the stock price, and Google is no longer on the road, the quantum computer they claim has to be preceded by a 'pseudo' word, and even classical computers can't do it, hehe...... Lao Qiu, do you want to hear the opinions of technical experts? ”

"What do the experts think?" Qiu Shiming glanced at Gu Cheng and was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately laughed: "Okay, I'm ready, you can pretend quickly." ”
