CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 187 Damn! This is such a rip-off!

The Zhulong project is progressing in an orderly manner.

The design is expected to be completed in early December.

Theoretically speaking.

The Candle Dragon can completely outperform mainstream supercomputers on the market.

Do not!
It's not a complete victory.

It was a complete and utter defeat.

The current most powerful supercomputer in China has a computing power of 235P.

The world's most powerful supercomputer has a computing power of 537P, with a peak performance of 53.7 petaflops per second.

But if the theory of Zhulong can be realized.

The computing power can exceed 1000p!
It's important to understand that once computing power reaches 100P, it's no longer simply a matter of adding more chips.

It requires the support of such massive computing power.

The entire system required is also quite complex.

Liu Zhenyun did not follow the traditional design approach, but instead incorporated relevant attributes of artificial intelligence. Whether it will be successful can only be known after the test is completed.

therefore.

Out of caution.

He did not tell Lu Yiming the ultimate goal of the project.

Instead, they very conservatively estimate at least 200P per unit.

Xingcheng University of Technology.

The laboratory that Lu Yiming requested was located at this school.

Liu Zhenyun and his team will set up the first Zhulong here.

Because the budget is very ample.

In addition, the equipment here is quite complete, and the progress is much faster than expected. Basically, anything ordered on the same day will be shipped by air that same evening.

It can be said that this gave Liu Zhenyun a taste of what it means to have unlimited funds for scientific research.

This morning.

After receiving a call from Lu Yiming.

Liu Zhenyun took off his dustproof suit and walked out of the laboratory.

at this time.

Three people were standing outside the laboratory.

Lu Yiming waited until Liu Zhenyun approached.

He immediately introduced the two people beside him, saying, "This is Liu Zhenyun! From now on, your teams will be merged into Pangu Technology Company."

The two people beside Lu Yiming were none other than...

It was the team leader who would bring Lu Yiming the two patents: miniature extreme ultraviolet light and intelligent all-pneumatic bearings.

The two had just arrived in Xingcheng.

After arranging for their team to check into the hotel, Lu Yiming took the two men directly to Liu Zhenyun's place.

He can still handle technical issues by leveraging his accumulated knowledge of quantum reading.

But in terms of professional expertise, Liu Zhenyun is still slightly stronger.

at this time.

The two began to introduce themselves.

Upon learning that one of the two was Wu Chu'an, who held dual master's degrees in materials science and computer science.

One is Xu Qiyu, who holds dual master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science.

Liu Zhenyun was also quite surprised.

These kinds of multi-skilled talents are the hardest to find in the market right now.

soon.

The two began a brief exchange.

They introduced their respective projects to each other.

They then got into a lively conversation.

Lu Yiming seemed to be isolated, standing not far from the three of them watching them talk.

at this time.

Lu Yiming's gaze was fixed on Xu Qiyu and Wu Chuan.

The two individuals had a loyalty rating of only 75 after completing their onboarding process.

However, Lu Yiming only needed two moves to raise the loyalty level to 85.

One offered a generous salary, and the other promised unlimited investment.

The generous salary boosted loyalty from 75 to 83.

The remaining investment might be due to his overly ambitious promises, which led to the two being outwardly excited but actually suspicious; otherwise, they wouldn't have only increased their loyalty by two points.

It might be a matter of rationality that needs to be considered.

Just before that, Lu Yiming had officially signed labor contracts with several people.

The system improves the incubation time for both patents, which is about six months.

However, it's not impossible to increase the speed.

For example, the R&D cost of miniature extreme ultraviolet light is 170 million.

The system directly deposited the money into his account.

He was also advised that an additional investment of 100 million could halve the six-month period.

Say something.

This made him feel like he was playing a simulation game.

You can shorten your development time by spending money.

at this time.

The three people, who were having a lively conversation, suddenly realized that they seemed to have left their boss hanging.

The conversation immediately came to an abrupt end.

Three pairs of eyes turned to Lu Yiming.

He smiled and said, "Keep chatting! Aren't you having a great time? By the way, you two can take a look at the labs here! I'm planning to get some more land near the supercomputing center, and while the supercomputing center is being built, I'll also equip your respective teams with high-standard labs."

at this time.

Lu Yiming's mindset is no different from that of someone playing a simulation game.

The two were researchers he recruited.

As long as you invest, you'll have a guaranteed return.

Just like how Liu Zhenyun not only provided him with the guaranteed Diting, the projects he is currently in charge of and the previous Kunpeng Accelerator were all unexpected surprises.

Lu Yiming felt he was becoming somewhat addicted to this kind of "raising a child" game.

Say something.

The two still had some doubts about the promises Lu Yiming had made earlier.

But on the way.

The two secretly used their phones to look up information about Lu Yiming.

This is beyond investigation.

An investment of tens of billions.

Although the investment in supercomputing is lower compared to foreign projects, it is still among the top three in terms of investment among private enterprises in China.

Someone capable of such a feat.

Those words might not necessarily be empty promises.

at this time.

Hearing Lu Yiming's words.

Both of them have a loyalty rating exceeding 90.

noon.

The four of them were having lunch in the conference room attached to the laboratory.

Naturally, we had to talk about our respective projects.

at this time.

Wu Chuan said, "If we look at the evolution of lithography machines, from contact lithography machines to EUV lithography machines, foreign countries have already reached the sixth generation, while domestic lithography machines are currently at the fourth generation. If we want to break through the foreign technology blockade, it is unrealistic to catch up step by step. My idea is to skip the fifth and sixth generations for some key technologies and directly develop the seventh generation. Based on the breakthrough of key technologies, we can then develop our own seventh or six-and-a-half generation lithography machines!"

The lithography machine is the most technologically advanced piece of equipment in all semiconductor manufacturing. It contains tens of thousands of parts and integrates many cutting-edge technologies in mathematics, optics, fluid mechanics, polymer physics and chemistry, surface physics and chemistry, precision instruments, mechanics, automation, software, and image recognition.

It uses a technique similar to photo printing, which prints the fine pattern on the photomask onto the silicon wafer through light exposure.

Wu Chuan'an is preparing to develop a purple light source.

It is key to improving the technological level, production efficiency and yield of lithography machines.

Although China has mastered the 14nm process technology, the key technologies all come from abroad, so domestically produced lithography machines can only be called 60nm.

Wu Chuan'an's team aims to make breakthroughs in light source technology below 10nm.

at this time.

After listening to Wu Chu'an finish his story.

Liu Zhenyun shook his head and said, "Merely below 10 nanometers is not enough! There are already 7-nanometer lithography machines on the market. The seventh-generation lithography machine must be at least 1 to 3 nanometers or angstroms in size."

It can be said that it started from 7 nanometers.

Every nanometer smaller represents a chasm-like technological gap.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu'an nodded.

He was naturally aware of that.

However, he wasn't very confident about researching down to the angstrom level.

With his boss, Lu Yiming, right in front of him, he needed to be conservative in his words while also giving Lu Yiming confidence. At this moment, he said, "We currently have a plan that, if all goes well, we can shrink the extreme ultraviolet light source. Theoretically, it should be able to reach 5 nanometers. However, since the previous investor abandoned the project, we haven't conducted any experiments yet."

Theoretically, it can reach 5 nanometers.

Whether the desired outcome will be achieved remains to be seen.

The experiment will require an investment of over 100 million yuan to purchase some new equipment.

It's no wonder that the previous investor chose to give up.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "I don't understand technology, but I do know that technology costs a lot of money. Don't worry! I'm prepared to spend a lot of money. Just make a list of what the lab needs. I won't set an upper limit for you. I'll provide you with anything that you can buy with money."

After saying this, he looked at Xu Qiyu beside him.

"You're the same!"

Just like how directors like coal mine owners.

The two were deeply moved by Lu Yiming's "scientific research attitude".

He immediately offered Lu Yiming a cup of tea instead of wine.

At the same time, loyalty increased by two points for each.

After the meal, the two decided to stay in the lab for a while longer.

Lu Yiming left and returned home.

He no longer needs to get involved in the rest; he just needs to wait until the time is right, and once he has the two patents, he can then think about what to do next.

Compared to this question...

He's been worried about upgrading his skills these past few days.

When he returned home, Fu Xiaoli was not there.

I received a text message from her and learned that she was at the comic studio.

Lu Yiming went straight to the computer in the study and sat down.

There's still some time before the broadcast starts.

With a thought, he opened the data panel.

He then complained, "This upgrade is way too damn hard!"

He used the skill enhancement scroll three times in a row on the skill "Heavenly Grace" a few days ago.

All attempts to enhance the system failed.

This low success rate left Lu Yiming feeling hopeless.

It also made him realize just how lucky he was to have unexpectedly upgraded to level 2.

at this time.

Lu Yiming rubbed his face.

After giving it two light pats, he said with a serious expression, "It should be done by now! You've already passed ten! If it fails again, I'll..."

In the end, Lu Yiming refrained from raising the flag.

With a thought, one enhancement scroll was consumed.

A failure message will then appear.

No hesitation.

Continue using one.

This failure made Lu Yiming unable to help but purse his lips.

His gaze was fixed on the last remaining skill enhancement scroll in his inventory.

Lu Yiming said helplessly, "It should be done by now! There are already thirteen!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming used his mind.

The system's relentless announcement then caused Lu Yiming to slam his left fist into the table.

"Damn! This is such a rip-off!"

Enhancement scrolls are inherently difficult to obtain.

At most, you can only get two or three a month.

Based on the current probability, it seems like having a max-level skill is still a long way off.

After all, this is just upgrading from LV1 to LV2.

Who knows how much it will take to upgrade to the maximum level?

That afternoon.

Lu Yiming canceled the live stream.

The reason given was that I was in a bad mood.

Lu Yiming rarely takes leave, especially not at the last minute. This is the first time he has ever taken leave in his live streaming career.

Many people tried to ask Lu Yiming why he was in a bad mood on Weibo or in groups.

This can be seen as a sign of the fans' concern.

However, Lu Yiming had no intention of responding at this moment.

Surprisingly, someone seems to have found clues that he was in a bad mood.

Shanghai Finance's midday news.

This is a news report about a meeting. Each day, we will choose some broad topics to discuss briefly. Today's topic is the field of lithography machines.

Far ahead of the curve, they recently announced the successful research and development of a 7-nanometer chip.

of course.

This is just about designing chips.

It's not that domestic lithography machine technology has broken through the seven-nanometer barrier.

It's like buying a computer and performing a relatively complex operation that requires a very high level of technical skill.

The news anchor conducted a live interview with an investor in the semiconductor industry.

The investor is pessimistic about the development of lithography machine technology in China.

"At first, I also thought there was a chance to overtake others by taking a shortcut. It's just that we're too late in developing lithography machines and can't keep up with the pace of foreign countries. This can't be influenced by the power of an individual or a single company. It requires strong promotion from the whole country."

He smiled as he said this.

He then continued, "By the way, I remembered something interesting. Yesterday, there was a rumor circulating in the industry that an internet celebrity had taken over a team working on a Ziguangyuan project. It's quite common for small and medium-sized enterprises in China to enter the semiconductor industry, but this is the first time I've seen this. I hope this internet celebrity isn't just trying to create hype! The semiconductor industry is already very difficult. If it's just for the sake of gaining popularity, I suggest this internet celebrity shouldn't waste social talent resources."

The host has a pretty keen sense for news.

He immediately asked with a curious expression, "Excuse me, Mr. Liu, could you please tell me which internet celebrity you are?"

Hear this.

Mr. Liu laughed and said, "I think his surname is Lu something. I only know that he is very popular on Douyin and is very rich. He is a game streamer?"

Mr. Liu's role was mainly to raise the topic of lithography machines.

This will facilitate in-depth discussions among the guests on the topics he raises.

The question and answer that follows is not in the original script.

However, this did not prevent the guests at the scene from subsequently commenting on this internet celebrity surnamed Lu, whom they did not know or understand at all.

of course.

This evaluation is naturally not positive.

at this time.

This news segment was posted online by netizens.

Lu Yiming's fans also had nowhere to go that afternoon, and then someone accidentally saw the video content.

His surname is Lu! He's a game streamer! He's rich!

These three keywords combined.

Isn't that President Lu?

soon.

This video appeared in Lu Yiming's fan group.

have to say.

The video content made Lu Yiming's fans frown.

Their very subjective judgment was that Lu Yiming was just trying to gain attention.

But in fact, if it weren't for this news, they would have no idea about it at all. Moreover, judging from Lu Yiming's past personality, if they hadn't asked or if it hadn't been exposed, some things that were very big in their eyes would have been trivial matters in Lu Yiming's eyes.

It is clear.

Lu Yiming is in a bad mood today because of this news.

Many people in the group expressed their sympathy for Lu Yiming.

[This is outrageous! How dare these people judge President Lu so arrogantly? Do they even know him? Have they watched his live streams? Are they just trying to gain attention? Has anyone actually invested 10 billion yuan in applied research projects just to gain attention?]

[Hilarious! These people keep calling themselves internet celebrities, who do they think they are?!]

【.】

I feel a little better today.

I don't know if you will get this disease.

If you experience difficulty breathing when lying down, like me, try lying down with your hands behind your head in an H-shape. It can help, and I've personally tested it and it works.

The hand position can be whatever feels comfortable.

Let's continue to rest and consolidate our recovery today.

I should be able to update twice tomorrow.

Regarding the lithography machine, I think it's unlikely that the protagonist could create it all by himself, but the two key technologies he possesses will trigger subsequent plot developments.

This was a crucial step for him to gain substantial social status.

This means that the mid-term content in the original outline has been brought forward.
