Chapter 351: A Difficult Decision
It's unrealistic to familiarize an executive who plays semiconductors all day with a secret department that engages in biology, but fortunately, Intel is very face-saving in the United States, and Brian quickly met Charles through some friends. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You want me to help you research biochips?"
"That's right, my friend recommended you and said you should be able to help me."
"What do you want me to help you?"
"I'm hoping to find the weakness of the biochip, or its vulnerability."
"Weaknesses or loopholes...... In fact, you can think of biochips as a kind of modular brain, and the brains of living organisms are different, which is related to their brain structure, the information they ingest, and the structure of their nerve cells. This kind of biochip, in fact, is to standardize and modularize the brain; Specifically strengthen its function in a certain direction, such as a computing chip, will strengthen its computing function; The graphics chip strengthens its image processing capabilities, and so on. ”
"In a sense, biochips are not much different from semiconductor chips, if you look at them as an input-output structure."
"What about weaknesses and loopholes...... What is the creature afraid of, it is almost the same as what it is afraid of, for example, it is afraid of radioactive rays, it is afraid of ultraviolet rays, it is afraid of high temperatures, it is afraid of low temperatures, I don't know if these count? ”
"......" Although Charles did reduce some weaknesses, Brian found that he could not exploit these weaknesses, and it was difficult for him to use these weaknesses to defeat biochips commercially, or resist the erosion of biochips.
"These biochips are taking over our Intel market, and I don't want to be like Ford and Monsanto, forced to be helpless by biological civilization, and I can't let Intel decline in my hands."
“...... Since that's your purpose....... Then I don't think you should go to us scientists, because even if we solve all the secrets of biochips, it won't help you much. I suggest that you would do well to talk to us, Mr. President, and perhaps what a good way to do it. ”
Not only Brian is in a hurry, but many American IT companies are in a hurry, everyone meets with each other, exchanges the recent troubles, and soon reaches a basic consensus - biological civilization must be contained, otherwise everyone's company will be doomed sooner or later.
Is it feasible to transform a biological civilization?
I'm afraid it doesn't work, biological civilizations all originate from the Great Yuan Empire, and it is a new system, very closed, and now except for the Great Yuan Empire, almost no other country has the ability to develop biological industry.
The United States is also not good, the United States is stronger than other countries in biological civilization and is only a limited strength, and now the Great Yuan Empire is unique in biological civilization, far ahead of other countries.
The assembled IT companies held a meeting with the White House and formally proposed to the big-mouthed president to protect the interests of American companies by adopting a trade ban.
This is a very critical decision, and the big-mouthed president did not dare to make a judgment easily, because if the import of biocomputers and biochips is banned, then should bio-batteries be banned, bio-TVs should be banned, and bio-air conditioners should be banned?
If they agree to their request and protect the IT company, then should the car company be protected, the energy company should be protected, and the agricultural company should be protected?
This is a series of questions, once the fuse of the trade war is ignited, it will be difficult to extinguish it, if the United States bans the entry of biological products, then will the Great Yuan Empire also ban the entry of American products?
If the Great Yuan Empire does this, it will definitely be a devastating blow to American companies, and many companies will completely lose their main market.
The protection of one group of enterprises leads to the collapse of another, and it will also trigger a series of uncontrollable political reactions, and all kinds of diplomatic disputes will inevitably follow......
It was a very big decision, and the White House staff held meeting after meeting, and the major think tanks and companies conducted evaluation after evaluation, various joint meetings, various committees, various questions and discussions......
IT companies' pursuit of policy protection is only a factor, and when various arguments are deepened, the focus of the contradiction quickly leaks out -- should the United States develop a biological civilization?
This is the core of all problems, if the United States does not develop biological civilization, then there is nothing to say, it must try to curb the growth of biological civilization, and unswervingly continue to follow the line of scientific and technological civilization. Then all kinds of trade sanctions and all kinds of import bans must be introduced to protect the interests of domestic enterprises as much as possible.
If biological civilization is developed, the United States will need to recognize the status of the Great Yuan Empire to some extent, and face the downgrading from the only leader in the world to the only leader. Through some compromises and concessions, in exchange for the biotechnical support of the Great Yuan Empire, it is completely expected that the United States will be subject to the Great Yuan Empire for a long time from now on, and the source of technology will be controlled by the Great Yuan Empire for a long time.
It's a tough decision!
In the end, after various trade-offs, the White House made a preliminary decision, first trying to issue a trade ban, testing the reaction of the Great Yuan Empire, looking for the possibility of dialogue, and seeing if it could take the opportunity to obtain certain biotechnology from the Great Yuan Empire.
At the same time, we will speed up the cracking of biotechnology, increase investment in the East office, and cultivate the United States' own biotechnology research and development strength as soon as possible.
The choice of the White House is very similar to the choice of the Cabinet, which is to choose a compromise route, maintain the strength of its own scientific and technological civilization, appropriately develop biological civilization, walk on two legs, not be eccentric, not extreme, and take a walk.
Brian was thrilled that his long-awaited trade ban had finally been enacted, this time for biochips, and the import of any kind of biochip was banned. All products containing biochips are not allowed to enter the United States and are not allowed to be marketed.
When the ban was issued, more than two months had passed since the biocomputers were put on the U.S. market, which was a rare response time for a large government.
But in just over two months, the entire U.S. market has experienced almost 10 weeks of despair. During these 10 weeks, sales plummeted, inventories were high, factories were shut down, and the market came to a standstill. The flood of biocomputers into American homes has taken over what should have been tech computers.
For the first time, many Americans have come into close contact with biological civilization in their lives, Jurassic Dinosaur Park, biological terrorist attacks or something, all of which appear on TV news, and have little relevance to everyone's daily life.
But this time, with the help of this reaction gap, biocomputers have entered thousands of households in the United States, allowing many ordinary Americans to truly understand biological products and be conquered by the cheapness and high performance of biological products.
