Chapter 630： Twelve years ahead of Apple

China, a university dormitory.

"Dangdangdangdang~~"

As a very rhythmic melody sounded, several scoldings broke out in the dormitory.

"Dongzi, are you poisonous? Who still watches the evening news these days?"

"It's absolutely amazing, I knew this melody was the evening news..."

"Please, the IQ line of our dormitory was really pulled down by you alone, even if it is played outside, the sound is still so loud, can you bring a headset!"

The boy nicknamed Dongzi never changed his stubbornness, he smiled and said, "I will wear headphones after the evening news is over. As the successor of communism, I must receive nurture and ideological education every night!"

Because I plan to take the civil servant exam. After all, the end of the universe is the civil servant, and the end of the career is the establishment.

In particular, there are too many advantages for fresh graduates to take the public examination, and the salary of liberal arts majors in enterprises is also low.

The evening news 30 minutes quickly came to an end.

Just when he thought the news was over and was about to close the page, he saw that the male host was still talking.

30 minutes later, it was the special report of Guangxin, which made Dongzi stunned for a moment.

The sound of the game playing in the dormitory disappeared at some point, and a few roommates in its place gathered behind Dongzi, staring at the computer screen.

"It is reported that since the concept of optical core was proposed in 2006, a total of 129 scientific research institutions around the world have invested in the research of optical core."

"Starting today, the first and only country to master this technology!"

Listening to these words, the eyes of several people in the dormitory were a little frantic.

"It's too cowhide, Guanghua University cowhide!"

"The optical core has actually been built. I heard those brick houses predict that it will be at the end of this year at the earliest, and it will not be until the middle of the year."

"Guanghua NB, China NB! We don't have to look at people's faces this time around, it's a nationally produced Chinese chip."

Several people quickly pulled the chairs over and put their arms on Dongzi's shoulders, wishing they could put their faces on the screen.

Dongzi couldn't help shouting, "Don't be noisy, I can't hear the reporter's voice clearly!"

A roommate murmured, "You don't want to make your voice louder, how big it is for me!"

Hearing this, Dong Zi looked over with a look of contempt. It was this guy who said he was loud before.

Disdain turned into disdain, Dongzi still consciously turned his voice to the loudest.

The report in front of me also changed from a studio to a laboratory at the Optical Core Research Center of Guanghua University.

When the camera took a close-up of the optical core, Dongzi exclaimed and stared at the chip with wide eyes.

Photonic chip, this is known as a concept technology, even in the past few years, many scientists at home and abroad have asserted that the level of technology involved in optical core technology far exceeds the current level of technology.

Especially in the field of optics, the existing technology is completely unable to reach the relevant level. Ideally, it will be around 2030-2035, with a high probability of a breakthrough in Japan or the United States.

However, in May 2021, Guanghua University conquered the optical core technology, which is striking the face of those bricklayers.

On the screen, after the close-up of the optical core, a female reporter from CCTV interviewed Principal Chen Hao and Professor Ren Hong of Guanghua.

The first to appear is Chen Hao's upper body. Even Wu Yanzu and Gu Tianle, who are at their peak, should avoid the edge.

Female reporter: "Principal Chen, has the optical core technology been conquered now?"

Chen Hao (wiping his sweat): "Khan, how did you make it without conquering it? Naturally, it was conquered..."

Female reporter (slightly blushing): "How long will it take for the mass production of the optical core?"

Chen Hao (contemplation): "The optical core design took 8 months in total, but the optical core manufacturing... Ideally, it can be completed before the end of this year."

Female reporter: "Is there a name for the optical core?"

Chen Hao (with a look of regret): "Actually, I am very fond of the names of Hongmeng and Kirin, but Huaxing has taken them all. So we will collect the names of Guangxin from the society, and we must have names with Chinese characteristics, and must have names with Chinese characteristics. It has a certain traditional cultural charm. It is tentatively set at 1 million yuan, and our official platform will release details and registration links. You can pay attention to our official Weibo and WeChat account of Guanghua University.”

The female reporter's face froze, is that last sentence an advertisement?

By the way, this guy seems to have a history of interviewing and advertising...?

Dongzi and the others also laughed.

"Principal Chen yyds! He did not forget to advertise this, and the most amazing thing is that CCTV didn't edit it!"

"The director of CCTV will be a man. As a news program with the highest ratings in the country, at least tens of millions have heard this sentence."

"1 million yuan, hurry up and follow Guanghua University's Weibo, if you are lucky enough to win the bid, you will be financially free in advance!"

"Financial freedom wool, 1 million can't even buy a toilet in the capital, and paying a mortgage down payment is not enough."

"Every day, the world is real!"

No boy's dream is to buy a house when he grows up, but this is the photo of this young man.

They are full of expectations for the future of the country; but they are confused about their own future.

The house, the car, and the bride price are the three mountains that contemporary young people carry.

After interviewing Chen Hao, I interviewed Professor Ren Hong.

When Professor Ren Hong appeared in the camera, there were two introduction columns that appeared.

【Professor and doctoral supervisor of University of Science and Technology of China】

【Director of Optical Core Research Center】

For this, Dongzi does not care, the optical core research center is mainly developed by eight universities of the China University Chip Alliance + Huaxing Company, a total of nine units.

Moreover, the qualifications and achievements of this Professor Ren Hong have long been picked up by major up owners and bloggers. This is a big cow in the domestic chip design field.

The five-minute interview time is fleeting, and then jumps to the studio, just not the one before.

The male host asked Xiang Xiang, an expert, "Professor Wu, what do you think is the status of the optical core for the current mobile chip?"

【Special commentator】

[Wu Junjie, professor and associate dean of Tsinghua University]

Professor Wu pushed his glasses, and Shen Sheng said, "From the performance test data given to us by the Optical Core Research Center, the performance of the optical core far exceeds our academic calculations!"

Speaking of this, Professor Wu's words were obviously filled with a hint of joy.

"The photonic chip is different from the traditional electronic chip. Its process is not calculated in nanometers. Because the computing effect of photons is ten times that of electrons, the performance of CPU and GPU is also very strong."

"Currently known as the strongest chip on the mobile terminal, the M1 chip launched by Apple in November 2020 has an 8-core CPU, an 8-core GPU, and packs 16 billion transistors."

"And the performance level of this first-generation optical core..." Professor Wu swallowed, his eyes full of shock.

"Conservative estimates are more than ten times that of the M1 chip!"

"You must know that the M1 chip is used in computers (and tablets), and its performance is on top of the mobile phone chip. The current mobile phone performance is Apple's A14 chip, but the performance of the M1 is twice that of the A14 in the test. !"

"That is to say, if the optical core is applied to the mobile phone, the performance may be twenty times that of the A14 chip!"

The male host was refreshed and asked, "Professor Wu, taking Apple's A-series chips as an example, how long does it take to reach the level of optical cores?"

"Cough, according to Apple's precise knife method, each generation of A-series chips has improved the performance by 15%-30% compared with the previous generation. The A14 chip wants to achieve the performance of the first-generation optical core, even if it is improved by 30% every year. , it will take about 12 years, that is, the performance of the A26 chip will exceed the first-generation optical core." Professor Wu couldn't help laughing.

This shows what?

This shows that the optical core developed by Guanghua University was 12 years ahead of Apple, which had the highest level of technology at the time!

The male host added: "Professor Wu, what impact will the overcoming of optical core technology have on us in China?"

Professor Wu was in a very good mood and said with a smile, "There is a saying in the past that the one who wins the oil wins the world."

"But now, the world has changed."

"This sentence should be changed to: Those who get chips can get the world."

"Chip is the top technology in the electronic information age, and it is also the most representative crystallization of human scientific and technological civilization. The overcoming of optical core technology will make up for our country's deficiencies in the high-precision field, and even break through it. It will bring a leap forward in electronic products such as mobile phones and computers!"

"And it will greatly promote the development of the 5G era, the Internet of Things, driverless cars and other fields."

"I boldly predict that in the next few years, China's high-tech industry will usher in a blowout!"

At the same time, when the news was reported in the evening, all the propaganda outlets made great efforts.

The news that the optical core technology has been conquered has landed on major domestic channels such as mobile phones, computers, radio, television, and radio with a thunderous trend.

This news also spread to the outside world in a short period of time.

The United States, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Japan and even the whole world have set off a boom.
