Chapter 289 What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
Faced with the large-scale withdrawal of semiconductors, precision instruments, and petrochemical refining controlled by European and American capital.
Li Guming was appointed as the Governor of Sing Tao Island, as well as Deputy Governors Yang Fan (internal affairs) and Zhang Wei (economic affairs).
An internal meeting was quickly convened.
The outside world has no idea about the specific content.
But that night, some of the semiconductor, petrochemical refining, and precision instrument companies controlled by Sing Tao were directly merged into six large groups: Sing Tao Semiconductor, Nanyang Electronics, Sing Tao Petroleum, Nanyang Petrochemical, Sing Tao Instruments, and Nanyang Equipment.
Sapiens then secretly began preparations to annex Malaysia, Java and East Timor.
After all, America’s intelligence agencies have already guessed that there are problems in Malaysia and Java, so the Sapiens Company simply won’t act anymore.
The newly established Sing Tao Island will obtain the entire Riau Islands from Java, plus the Johor State separated from Malaysia, to form the Sing Tao Municipality.
The remaining part of the Malay Peninsula in Malaysia was merged with Sumatra to form the Malacca Region.
The North Borneo part of Malaysia, plus the South Borneo part of Java, form the Borneo Region.
Java Island in Java, together with the Lesser Sunda Islands and Timor Island, form the Java Region.
Sulawesi Island, the Rugu Islands, and half of New Guinea Island form the Spice Islands region.
The control areas of the entire Homo Sapiens Company are Luzon, Siam, Honsawadi, Ceylon (including Diego Garcia Island), Malacca, Borneo, Java, Spice Islands, and Assam, which has no plans to be made public for the time being.
Plus the directly governed cities of Sing Tao City, Yangon, Manila and East Timor.
The total area reaches 4.18 million square kilometers, with a total population of 620 million, including 38.73 million new humans and 2.71 million soldiers, accounting for 6.69% of the total population.
This scale has already crushed most countries in the world.
After all, new humans can rely on biochips to quickly learn various knowledge and skills, and it only takes a few months to train general talents and achieve initial rapid success.
…
An industrial war launched by European and American capital.
Although the Sapiens company lost many import and export channels, especially the semiconductor industry, it was almost destroyed instantly.
However, this attack is actually of no use to the Sapiens company.
Sing Tao Semiconductor Group.
Quickly gather together employees laid off from Europe, America, Samsung and TSMC.
Johor, which has been well prepared, has cleared out a special city to quickly accommodate the new factory of Sing Tao Semiconductor Group.
Zhang Kai, who had just eaten relief meals for three days, was notified by the company early in the morning to go to Chip City.
He was on the ferry with several colleagues.
Not far away on the sea, the Haili was still deepening the channel of the Malacca Strait.
“Is there a semiconductor industry in Johor?” an old colleague looked confused.
“It’s probably newly established!”
"Then what are we going to do there? We can't help build the factory, right?"
After arriving at the port town, more than a dozen buses were already waiting for them.
Half an hour later, they arrived at a small city 33 kilometers away from Sing Island. The previous name here had been eliminated and the population had quickly changed to professionals serving the semiconductor industry.
The chip city is not big, and can accommodate about 100,000 people. All the factories in the city completed adaptive transformation within a few days.
A former rubber pillow manufacturing plant was transformed into a semiconductor packaging and testing factory with an ultra-clean workshop in just four days.
As for the manufacture of cleanroom factories, the Sapiens company already has a very mature and rapid construction plan based on its experience in building a series of underground base cities, and there is no need to hire foreign companies to design and build them.
Sapiens has its own semiconductor and chip R&D and manufacturing organizations. After all, biological chips also need secondary development and modification.
As for biochips, Sapiens has no plans to sell them publicly for the time being, so it established another chip research and development department a long time ago, specializing in studying how to produce products similar to traditional electronic chips.
Now is the time to apply these results.
Zhang Kai came to the office, and their workshop team leader Wilson looked at the 24 people present.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wilson. You can also call me Wang Qianxun. I am from Luzon and I am the team leader of this packaging and testing workshop. You have all worked in packaging and testing in other semiconductor companies before, but the company's processes are a little different, so you need to familiarize yourself with them."
He quickly divided these people into six shifts. For industries that require 24-hour production, the company usually prepares 6 to 8 work batches of personnel.
Zhang Kai and three people he wasn't very familiar with formed a class.
After changing in the locker room, they entered the clean room again and put on special protective clothing in the clean room.
Finally, I entered the packaging and testing workshop.
In fact, the entire workshop has achieved fully automated production. The employees' job is basically to conduct manual sampling and monitor the production status of the production line, while communicating with other workshops and the production line's general office.
Various chips produced in the factory next door are sent to the packaging and testing factory through an underground clean channel.
Zhang Kai's workshop is responsible for packaging and testing the No. 14 general-purpose chip (automotive on-board computer chip).
What kind of chip is this? Zhang Kai saw the data on the display screen. Its computing power has reached 200 trillion times per second?
You should know that Apple’s latest A14 processor uses TSMC’s 5nm process, integrates tens of billions of transistors, and its maximum computing power reaches 11 trillion times per second.
Various test data kept jumping on the computer screen.
This chip, which is 2 centimeters long and wide, uses a 100-nanometer process and integrates 200 million transistors, but its computing power reaches 200 trillion times per second.
Even though the process size differs by 20 times and the transistor density differs by 50 times, it is still possible to overtake others. The fundamental reason is the difference in core technology between the two sides.
Intel, TSMC, and Samsung are all electronic chips.
However, Sapiens uses a photonic composite chip, in which all transistors are photonic transistors.
A single transistor can realize 16 types of light switches, and its core is an organic photosensitive component isolated from photosensitive cells.
When this component is irradiated with ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 150 to 30 nanometers, a phased potential difference will be generated and temporarily fixed. However, this potential difference can be eliminated by using ultraviolet light with a length of 33 nanometers.
Therefore, this photonic chip is not in traditional binary mode, but in hexadecimal mode.
Photons are faster than electrons, and a photon channel can pass through a composite photon beam, plus the switch has 16 changes, so the speed of the photonic chip will be very fast and the capacity for storing information will be very large.
At the same time, since photons are bosons rather than fermions such as electrons, the energy consumption during their operation is also very low.
This chip has a computing power of 200 teraflops and consumes only about 3.2% of the energy of Apple A14.
The only trouble is that Sapiens does not intend to be compatible with the current binary electronic chips, but instead plans to use a full hexadecimal chip architecture.
Europe and the United States want to suppress Homo sapiens companies and want to strangle Homo sapiens through semiconductors. This is simply wishful thinking.
Sapiens, which was well prepared, launched its own optoelectronic chip and carried out comprehensive commercial promotion.
As for the more advanced biochips, Sapiens has no plans to launch them on the market but will use them internally.
