957 Memories of the Void (Part 4) (5)
"Put the file down and I'll take a look, you go first. Adam was Adam after all, and he calmly wiped his hands and waved away Morsi. After Morsi had gone in a hurry, Adam picked up the paper, and instead of being happy, his face began to be cloudy.
At the moment of great joy, Adam behaved like this, and Parker couldn't help but wonder: "Team leader, what are you worried about?"
"I'm distressed about two things. Adam held up a finger: "First, with Sophia, Tiberium Lab is indeed an endless treasure trove. But I found that this Manchester group simply couldn't keep up with Sofia's pace. The last time she gave the results, our entire group of more than 200 people studied it for a month, just to understand the conclusions she came up with, it took so long!"
"Moreover, I know her, the technical information she gives is written according to her own logic, and its starting point has never been to deduct money from a small amount of money, so she formed a Manchester team to manage the finances. The mission of this group is to split, stitch and excavate the veins themselves. Thirty projects is not the limit, and there are bound to be treasures to dig deeper, but it will take longer to dig deeper. And just a month later, without any decent equipment, she once again came up with results. Although there are also reasons why the group is not on the right track, it is clear that we are far from keeping up with her speed. ”
Parker Peterson immediately had a plan in mind: "I see, we're too slow to monetize the results. This is easy to do, I will further increase the intensity of recruiting more technical personnel, and set up a separate sales department responsible for production, operation, and profitability. ”
"Well, it's okay if we can't monetize it for a while, and the accumulation of technology can increase our base to meet all the challenges from our competitors. You look at the recruitment of people, we do big things and make a lot of money, don't worry about the cost, the total number of people planned to recruit is temporarily set at ...... Two thousand. Two thousand, should be able to keep up. ”
"Okay. Peterson asked, "And what's the second thing you're worried about?"
"The second thing is competition. It's not that there are competitors, because there's only one Sophia in the whole world. As long as she is there, we are invincible in terms of research and development capabilities. I'm struggling with how to find a way to protect those competitors. Even if it's a superficial rivalry, I need them to survive. Adam took out a tube of toothpaste again: "For example, this processor, this monster-level product, can't be taken out at once." It's like this tube of toothpaste, you can't squeeze it all out at once. The world should not be exposed to such exaggerated technology in this era. ”
"I see. Peterson is very conscious: "We need to deteriorate the technology and deteriorate again, and cut the one-step improvement into ten hundred upgrades." It can also artificially divide various models and series, such as 3 series, 5 series, 7 series, 9 series, etc., and lose no time in castrating a few knives, so that you can make money from this technology for 30 years in one go. ”
"That's a good point, but thirty years is too fast, and it takes fifty years to earn. Adam nodded, thinking: "But what should I think of to control the rhythm of the technical comparison......
"I have an idea. Peterson was a good assistant to Adam, and indeed a polymath, and immediately offered a poisonous plan: "Once upon a time, there was an engineer named Gordon Moore at Fairchild Semiconductor who wrote an article describing the time of the doubling of integrated circuits. We set this man up, stir up his remarks, and make him carry this pot. ”
"Very well, I've heard of him, so I'll do it. The name of the fried is called ...... Moore's Law is good. In the future, everything about the pace of semiconductor development will be pushed to him. By the way, he also founded a company called ...... It seems to be called Intel, and it was acquired together to borrow chickens and eggs. Remember, the semiconductor industry is one of the core of the world's future, and I want to see this company in three months hoisting my flag and absolutely not allowing failure. If someone blocks the takeover...... Adam's face was gloomy: "You know what to do. ”
"Yes!" Parker Peterson was clearly very knowledgeable about black work, and immediately walked away with understanding.
A stone fell to the ground in his heart, everything was thriving, and Adam could finally happily squeeze the toothpaste in front of the mirror: "3 series, 5 series, 7 series? Well, by the way, I'm also going to buy some manufacturing and build up my manufacturing capacity. If you want to talk about the industrial level, German car production plants can be considered. By the way, it's a pity that such a strong processing power is not easy to use, and you can also project film and animation to enhance the topicality. It's called ...... The Cybertron series is good. ”
Adame began to brush his teeth, happily planning for the future: "This Cybertron series, I want to shoot into three parts." First, highly intelligent machines replace humans and launch a nuclear war to destroy human civilization. In the second piece, highly intelligent machines enslave human beings, build virtual networks to captivate human spirits and seize human creativity. The third piece is that the highly intelligent machine has completely evolved into an independent life, and the idea of building a mechanical planet Cybertron is good, the more I think about it, the more I have a head, and I will invest in the auction when I turn around! Government, people, concepts, products, animation, toys, I want to open a pan-consumption era of technology and entertainment linkage!"
Adam began to work hard with his own ambitions, and every day he was either talking to the Pentagon's top brass or recruiting people to form a business. Adam, who was educated by the elite, did not have a diploma, but he knew the art of business. Give him a little capital, and he will be able to manage it. Give him a chance, and he can manage a large enterprise of more than 2,000 people in an orderly manner.
In the current era of unemployment in the United States, it is so easy to find people to work.
United, tense and serious, Adam quickly built his own corporate culture. The entire company was forbidden, and even the office clerks trotted out. The process of reporting, liaison and negotiation should be concise, and the language and language should be concise and accurate. The entire Tiberium peripheral sales company is as tight as a military camp, and you don't even have to think about commuting from 9 to 5 in the morning.
But the whole company from top to bottom exudes a sense of prosperity, vigorous development, and prosperity, and every employee can feel that every bit of work they do can promote the development of the company and fatten their wallets. So even if there is a lot of overtime, the company's employees rarely complain.
The most critical project, the collaboration with the Pentagon, was finally finalized in mid-May of that year. This is Adamzadeh's first cooperation with the United States, and it is a very successful cooperation. The Pentagon is quite happy to give money, and with the continuous implementation of the network laying project, the success of technical tests has been reported frequently, and the military's money has also poured in.
Throughout 1981, the Zadeh family was engaged in non-stop civil construction. Constantly borrowing, expanding, engaging in construction, launching projects, recruiting people, and rapidly expanding the size and physique. Like a super monster, it gradually stretches its body.
Spring goes to summer, summer goes to autumn solstice. In September, the Tiberium Lab, located on the site of an old warehouse in Wisconsin, was completed at the speed of light. To be precise, the interior decoration is still in progress, but the construction of the main building and the laying of pipes have all been completed.
On this day, Sophia and Adam rarely walked side by side. From the beginning of the establishment of the laboratory, both of them have been busy, and there is very little time to walk together. Months passed, and even though the majesty grew, Adam was still the same Adam in Sophia's eyes. But in Adam's eyes, Sophia is no longer the three-nothing sister Sophia in his memory.
During this period, Sophia personally recruited a dozen or so main scientists, most of whom were young geniuses in mathematics, logic, semiconductors, and materials science. With more than 120 assistants, this laboratory is no longer an empty shell.
Walking through the corridors of the laboratory, busy assistants pass by from time to time. Don't underestimate these assistants, each of them has a unique skill, and many of them are also talents in mechanical engineering, industrial design, etc., so to speak, the kind of baby bump that NASA can design a space capsule. But Adam could clearly see that the baby bumps looked at Sophia with a mixture of fear and adoration in their eyes.
Glancing at the girl beside her, she seemed to be unaware of all those adorations and reverence. Adam couldn't help but smile slightly, Sophia seemed to be still the same Sophia, and she was always lacking in her mind, and said with emotion: "The fourth group has recruited two thousand people, and the third and second groups have their own leaders, and the complete completion of the laboratory has also entered the countdown, and it is finally about to be completed." ”
Adam looked around and couldn't help but feel emotional.
It's a really big investment lab. Fortunately, no matter how much you invest, you can get back a hundredfold and a thousandfold return. So, looking at the huge complex in front of him, Adam couldn't help but be full of pride. He smashed the pot and sold iron, and built such a large, magnificent and beautiful laboratory, which can already be regarded as the only one on the earth.
But Sophia clearly doesn't think so.
"What are you talking about, this is just the beginning. The girl said, of course, "Our progress is less than one thousandth." ”
Adam immediately shuddered, and then said with a dry smile: "So, Sophia, if you are talking about the Moon Project, the difficulty of the project is still too ......."
"I'm not talking about the Moon Tide Project, it's just the lab itself, it's just the beginning. Sophia once again took out a drawing and slapped it on the table that came out of thin air: "Look, this is the design I just drawn." Tiberium Labs, built along this line. ”
Adam immediately squinted at it, and although he didn't understand anything else, the first argument made him stare at him immediately.
"Eighteen thousand four hundred and twenty-five meters, eighteen kilometers, is that long......! No, no, you wait a minute, there's something wrong with this data, it's 'altitude'? Am I blind, 18,000 meters high?"
"The data is fine, and you're not blind. Sophia nodded calmly: "It's so high." ”
Adam's fingers kept poking at the number like a convulsion, and his face was full of faces: "Eighteen thousand meters high? Two Everest peaks are just that! Even if you start from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, you can go into the stratosphere with a head!"
"That's it," Sophia held up a finger, her face scowling, "Tiberium Labs." ”u
