Chapter 545： Failed Repeat Trials (2 in 1)

Handong Province, Jinling City.

Xinjiekou Pedestrian Street, Apple mobile phone flagship store.

Duan Jiang is a doctoral student at Southeast University. Today, he deliberately asked his supervisor to take a half-day off to buy a mobile phone. The reason is that it is his girlfriend's birthday soon, and he is going to buy it as a birthday present for the other party.

"It's really speechless, what's so good about an Apple phone? Why don't you buy Huaxing!" Duan Jiang murmured and walked into the store.

In the past, there was no choice. There were only two high-end flagships, Apple and Samsung, but now OV is doing well, especially Huaxing's Mate series and P series.

But many girls love to use iPhones, and they don't know where to go.

If he was going to play games, he could understand it. He really had nothing to say about playing games on Apple's mobile phone, but his girlfriend didn't play games much either.

Although it was said to be more than 7 o'clock in the evening, there were not many customers in the store, only three or two people.

A female shopping guide looked at Duan Jiang's entry and greeted him very enthusiastically.

"Hello sir, do you want to buy a mobile phone? You can take a look at the Apple 12 that just went on sale a while ago, and there is also a photonic screen version. The performance has nothing to say."

"Does Apple also have a photonic screen version?" Duan Jiang said unexpectedly.

He really doesn't pay much attention to Apple, but only knows that the photonic screen production capacity is limited, and domestic brands are given priority, especially the new Mate45 series released by Huaxing at the end of last year is equipped with a photonic screen version, which has received rave reviews.

As for Apple, it seems that it has reached a cooperation with Guanghua later, but it is only in late January, so it will be listed so soon?

"Yes, and it's the goods that were transferred a few days ago. It's been selling very well recently, and it's almost sold out." The female shopping guide answered patiently.

"Then let's take a look at several models of the 12 series. Well, I want the photon screen version."

Duan Jiang chose the photonic screen version without thinking. As an owner of the Huaxing photonic screen Mate45, he knows how much the photonic screen is added.

"Okay, this way please."

Under the enthusiasm of the female shopping guide, Duan Jiang tried it out, and finally bought a mobile phone with Apple's 12ProMax photonic screen version, and after paying the money, he took over the gift bag.

Duan Jiang, who had just turned around and was about to leave, heard a sound in his ear, causing him to stop and move his gaze to the TV hanging on the wall in front of the left.

"Today, Guanghua University, Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Baodao Executive Yuan, and TSMC held talks in Ludao, and finally signed a cooperation agreement. It is expected to invest 100 billion US dollars to build a factory in Ludao and undertake the production of optical cores. The main leaders are..."

It is not uncommon for an Apple mobile phone store to have a TV, but the strange thing is that the news broadcast is still being broadcast. Maybe the owner of this store prefers to pay attention to current affairs and politics...

Anyway, Duan Jiang was stupid.

Guanghua actually wants to cooperate with TSMC?

And this investment scale, if he is not blind or deaf, he remembers that the host said 100 billion US dollars? ? !

Wang Defa? ?

This is not a small number, and it has also appeared on the news network, indicating that its authenticity is no problem.

The news about the cooperation between Guanghua University and TSMC lasted for 1 minute and 40 seconds before finally jumping to an agricultural news.

Duan Jiang hurriedly left the store and ran straight back to school.

While on the road, he still recalled the news he heard in the mobile phone store in his mind, and then checked it.

Guanghua really cooperated with TSMC!

And it is the news that the major officials have just announced.

Don't just look at the cooperation with TSMC, which has a lot of influence.

For example, on the optical core...

When he returned to the dormitory, Duan Jiang logged on to the Little Woodworm Forum.

There is no post about the cooperation between TSMC and Guanghua in the chat version of the forum, and Duan Jiang couldn't help but take the lead in posting a post.

【Shock! Guanghua University has just reached a cooperation with TSMC and will invest and build a factory in Ludao. Has the optical core technology been conquered? 】

As soon as the post was sent, there were thirty or forty replies in less than 10 minutes.

"I'm rubbing it, it's true or false? Isn't TSMC going to invest and build a factory in the United States? How did you change your mind?"

"Awesome, with a total investment of 100 billion US dollars, TSMC is really rich!"

"Guanghua cooperates with TSMC? Wouldn't that mean that the production capacity problem will be solved? But I'm more curious, does this mean that the optical core is not far away?"

"Guanghua is too fierce. Last year, the photonic screen was launched, and this year, the optical core will be launched. Of all the scientific research institutions in the world, only Guanghua University is so fierce!"

"It's all broadcast on the news network, and Director Liu of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council attended the signing ceremony. It seems that the government is also involved in this matter, but it is the investment of hundreds of billions of dollars..."

The back floor began to crook. Some people think that the optical core should be conquered this year or next year at the latest. Others are still not optimistic about Guanghua University, thinking that it will take three to five years.

The discussions on the Xiaomuworm forum are just the tip of the iceberg. The cooperation between Guanghua and TSMC is being discussed in many places on the Internet.

...

Treasure Island, Hsinchu City.

Inside the TSMC Building.

Two employees yawned and walked out.

"I've been working a lot of overtime recently, it's really annoying!" the tall employee complained.

Another employee who was split in the middle, while playing with his mobile phone, replied in agreement: "I hate working overtime the most!"

Seemingly thinking of something interesting, the tall man patted his colleague on the shoulder, winked and said, "By the way, have you noticed that there have been a lot of departures from our company recently?"

"It's normal to have a resignation..." The middleman said hesitantly.

"No, no, this resignation is strange." The tall man shook his head and said.

"What's weird?"

"It is said that Dr. Guan Yi persuaded Dr. Guan Yi to resign this time, and do you know where the next family is?"

"I don't know? And why did Dr. Guan do this?" Facing the tall man's deliberate show-off, he wasn't annoyed, but he didn't quite understand it.

Although TSMC works a lot of overtime and the workload is not small, the salary is one of the best in Baodao, which is much higher than the monthly salary of civil servants!

"Let's go home, now, go over there." The tall man pouted towards the west.

"Is it the Mainland? Is it SMIC?" Seemingly aware of something, he added uncertainly, "It can't be Guanghua University in Ludao, right? I remember Dr. Liang Yiqing is there now."

"Yes, it's the Guanghua that went to Ludao." Speaking of Guanghua, the tall man pouted and looked disdainful.

"If you want me to say, they might as well go to SMIC, at least they have made something there, why go to Ludao? Do you really think that the optical core can be made casually from roadside goods?"

"Anyway, I don't believe that the mainland can conquer this technology. It must be selling the concept again. In the end, after a few years, everyone will forget about it."

The middle part scratched his head with a wry smile on his face.

This colleague and friend is fine on weekdays, but it is easy to break down when he talks about the mainland.

But it is also a very normal phenomenon. Now many young people in Baodao have no sense of belonging or identification with the mainland.

The middle part pondered for a while, and said half-jokingly: "I think your words are too subjective, I am quite optimistic about the optical core, maybe we TSMC will cooperate with each other in the future, and also say that we will do the OEM for the optical core. indefinite."

"Let us TSMC OEM for the other party?"

The tall man burst into laughter, then sneered while holding his belly, "Laugh out loud, we at TSMC are not just any cat or dog that can find us as a OEM. As for the chip process technology in the mainland, I'm not saying, they even have 7nm chips. I don't know how many years it will take to mass-produce, and the optical core? Laughing and roaring!"

Just walking to the edge of the pond, the tall man pointed to the pond and said confidently: "If we TSMC are OEMs for the other party, I will just drink up the water in the pond in front of me!"

"Uh." The middle part of the mouth twitched, just wanting to quickly transfer the topic away.

Don't think tall people's words are stupid, reality is always more absurd than fiction.

For example, how many years have the mainland economy took off, there are still many frogs in the well on Baodao who think that people on the other side still can’t afford tea eggs, and then eat with Fuling mustard (there will also be people from Baodao who pronounce it as pei).

Don't think it's incredible, but some stubborn Baodao people do think so.

Only at this time, the sound from the radio on the table in the canteen in front made both of them a little embarrassed.

"Breaking news! Today, Vice President Xie of the Executive Yuan, Zhang Zhongmou, the former chairman of TSMC, and Liu Deyin, the current chairman of TSMC, attended the signing ceremony in Ludao, Hu Province. Chairman Liu announced that he will carry out in-depth cooperation with Guanghua Integrated Circuit Company to undertake the responsibility of the optical core. Part of the production tasks, which means that the research and development of optical cores has made certain progress..."

A few old people were sitting at the entrance of the commissary department, and when they heard the text message, they immediately started a heated discussion.

"Didn't TSMC want to cooperate with the United States? Why did it go to the mainland to invest and build factories? Would this offend the Americans?"

"If you are offended, you will be offended. The mainland and Baodao are one body. Why do the two brothers and their family talk about the two? Isn't the university in Ludao very good? What kind of photonic screen is made? I heard that if this optical core is made When it comes out, it is simply the dragon-slaying sword of the chip industry, and there is absolutely no way to beat it!"

"It's really that powerful? It's better to cooperate with the mainland. TSMC can't go bankrupt, it will have too much impact on Baodao!"

The middle part turned his head and looked, and the face of the colleague beside him was dark.

As soon as he said the big words, he was slapped in the face.

Seeing this situation, the middle parted head quickly comforted: "Jiang Hong, it doesn't matter, I took what you just said as a joke, I really don't need you to finish the water in the pond!"

Just after he finished speaking, the tall man's expression became gloomy and a little more gloomy.

Without saying a word, he just ran away.

But that night, at 22:30 Beijing time.

As soon as U.S. stocks opened, TSMC's share price rose.

In less than an hour, it rose by 2 points!

American investors are very optimistic about TSMC turning to the mainland to invest and build factories and to cooperate with Guanghua.

After all, after the 2020Nature China Forum a while ago, investors who are a little concerned about the technology industry know that in Ludao, China, on the other side of the ocean, it is only a matter of time before Guanghua University conquers the optical core technology.

Therefore, TSMC made this choice, and it is a major benefit to be able to take advantage of the wind of optical cores!

What is interesting is that many local semiconductor companies led by Qualcomm in the US stock market are in sharp decline, and some semiconductor companies that have cooperated with Guanghua have also risen a lot with TSMC.

The US stock semiconductor sector had a crazy day, and Chen Hao also slept all night.

the next morning.

After eating breakfast from the cafeteria, Chen Hao was stroking cats in the cattery.

"Nobel! Why do you still bite me, who built the cat house for you, eh?!"

"Hey, Archimedes is still the best, come and let me slap you bald!"

"Why is Newton in a daze again..."

Chen Hao squatted and played with the three little milk cats, and he was in a very happy mood.

These three kittens can be considered to have settled in Guanghua. After all, they are under the supervision of the principal, so they can be said to be rampant in Guanghua's campus.

After playing with the kittens for a while, Chen Hao also turned and left.

Going to the optical core this morning to see how the progress is.

ten minutes later.

Optical Core Research Center.

Chen Hao went around and was attracted by the noise in a laboratory.

"Professor, this set of experiments still failed to achieve the expected goal. It may be that there is a mistake in the quantity."

"No, the only group that succeeded the day before yesterday was the one that used this amount. Why did the repeated test go wrong..."

"Professor, do you need to fine-tune it?"

"You can do another set of experiments to see."

"good."

"Professor Chen, have you encountered any problems?"

Professor Chen Ping, who was focusing on the data in his hand, was startled by the sudden sound in his ears.

His face flushed red, and he was about to reprimand this rude "comer", but when he saw the appearance of the person behind him, he smiled awkwardly: "Principal, why are you here..."

"It's just the winter vacation and I have nothing to do, so I came over to see what help the optical core needs here." Chen Hao smiled, and then looked around.

"Professor Chen, are you still used to eating and living after coming to Ludao?"

"It's okay, anyway, I'm not picky about what I eat, as long as I can eat enough." Professor Chen Ping said disapprovingly.

In his mind, the only thing worth thinking about is scientific research. As for food, no matter what you eat, it will be the same when you put it in. It's just a different color.

Chen Hao is still very satisfied with Professor Chen Ping, who has taken the initiative to change jobs from Zhejiang University.

Neither ability nor attitude towards scientific research can be faulted, except that emotional intelligence is slightly lower.

"I just heard that you seem to have encountered a problem?" Chen Hao's eyes fell on the data in the other party's hand.

"Yes, a set of experiments was successfully successful the day before yesterday, but in the past two days, more than 30 sets of repeated experiments have not been successful again. It's really a headache!" Professor Chen Ping sighed, seeing that Chen Hao was interested. Pass the data in his hand.

Then, Chen Hao read the aggregated data in self-study, and then went to the experimental bench to see the failed semi-finished products.

"headmaster."

"Hello, Principal Chen!"

"Dr. Chen."

The researcher greeted Chen Hao feebly, and Chen Hao responded one by one.

Because of these two consecutive failures, it was also a big blow to the researchers in the laboratory.

The research work of the optical core is not easy Even if the more than 300 researchers in the entire center are from the top scientific research teams in the country, the challenges and setbacks encountered are one after another.

If there is no information provided by Chen Hao twice, they would not have a clue about the optical core.

However, seeing Chen Hao's appearance, some researchers' eyes lit up, maybe the principal could find the problem.

After examining the failed experiment, Chen Hao frowned slightly.

Looking down at the data at hand again, the brain instantly turns on high-speed operation mode.

One possibility is ruled out, and finally...

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes sparkled.

He poked his index finger on the data file and chuckled.

"finally found you."
