CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 241: Keep it a secret! It's a secret! I can't say more!

current.

Many self-media outlets and public intellectuals are predicting a bleak future for Aurogon.

After all, a market value of 500 billion is too empty.

It's merely the title of the world's number one supercomputer.

This is not enough.

Especially since this title is about to be surpassed.

Well known.

The timing of the release of the Aurogon II was very clever.

Due to the exceptional performance of Unit 1.

Sanctions in the chip industry have been further intensified.

The birth of the Aurogon II supercomputer with a computing power of 750P.

This consolidated and further boosted the stock price.

This caused the Fuji supercomputer, which was being developed in Japan, to lose its competitiveness against Aurogon in the international market.

Currently, Aurogon's shipments are only five to ten units per year.

This is because the chip was provided by the client.

The chip is the core of a supercomputer.

It can be said that its value accounts for more than half of the cost of the entire supercomputer.

However, the cost of a supercomputer cannot be calculated in such a simple way. The chip is secondary; the core algorithm of Aurogon is more important.

If it's just about simply stacking chips.

Supercomputers with a computing power of 1000P or more have long been developed.

therefore,

Even if the chip supplier is responsible for the chip, the profit per supercomputer will not differ significantly from the original cost of the chip.

Currently, Aurogon uses a distribution system.

You need to order two Zhulong No. 1 machines to be able to deliver one Zhulong No. 2 machine.

This is also due to the distribution system.

This is what caused Aurogon's market value to rise to 500 billion.

After all, the current top-tier supercomputer market is a seller's market, and Aurogon has the highest technological content, yet it is the cheapest among those with similar performance.

wrong!

There are no products on the market with the same performance!
The current Aurogon 2 supercomputer is the world's most advanced supercomputer.

Moreover, it is the only supercomputer that can be shipped as long as money and chips are provided.

At least until today.

The United States is pushing forward with a project, and it's already underway. This was revealed this morning. Congress approved a budget of $10 billion earlier this year, with the goal of building a supercomputer with a computing power of 800P or more by the end of the year.

The Aurogon II was launched at the beginning of this year.

It's obvious who this is targeting.

However, this kind of thing, technology, can't be considered targeted.

It's perfectly normal for people to chase after each other.

However, along with this leaked information came an even stricter blockade order, requiring many foreign chip manufacturers to ensure that their chips cannot be used in areas that endanger the national security of the United States.

To curb the downstream from the upstream.

This method, though old, is very useful.

Lu Yiming's live stream discussion shifted from the stock price of Aurogon to the current crisis facing Aurogon.

There aren't actually many people who pay attention to this.

But since the conversation has come to this point...

After most of the fans learned about Zhulong's current situation.

Many expressed their concerns in the live chat.

This concern has two parts.

One reason for buying Aurogon stock is the concern that its share price might crash.

After all, the market value increased from 200 billion to 500 billion.

The potential for a drop is frighteningly large.

One part of the concern is about the future of the Aurogon supercomputer.

Lu Yiming's probing question, "What second-generation machine? Does Zhulong even have a second-generation machine?" is a soul-searching question.

This left everyone in the live stream stunned.

[President Lu! Isn't Unit 2 a second-generation unit? After all, its performance has been improved so much!]

[Yes! The Zhulong II machine has increased its computing power by 100P! Isn't that considered a second generation?]

[President Lu! This is not the time for jokes!]

【.】

The computing power of a single supercomputer starts from 200 petabytes.

An increase of 50P is a huge improvement.

It's like upgrading a calculator that can only calculate tens to one that can calculate eleven.

At the same time, the calculation time was changed from the original two seconds.

It has been reduced to 1.5 seconds.

This improvement seems very small.

But in reality, it greatly shortens the research time.

Lu Yiming looked at the comments on the screen.

Nodding with a matter-of-fact expression, he said, "That's right! Hasn't Zhulong been promoting itself as the second unit? If we use the word 'generation,' it must be a leap forward! In fact, the team originally wanted to use the term 'second generation,' but I personally feel that the improvement isn't as exaggerated as 'generation,' so I suggested using 'second unit' to describe this improvement."

As soon as Lu Yiming said this...

Viewers in the live stream exclaimed, "Wow!"
It's important to know that the market has always believed that Unit 1 and Unit 2 are actually just the difference between the first and second generation units.

But judging from Lu Yiming's words...

Unit 2 is just like a game DLC.

soon.

Clever netizens started asking in the live chat whether Aurogon had a second-generation machine.

Normally, Lu Yiming wouldn't answer this kind of question.

The stock price of Aurogon has been falling these past few days.

Many people in the live chat mentioned it, but Lu Yiming deliberately ignored it.

But he held a video conference this morning.

Some of the questions related to Zhulong can be answered.

At this moment, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Second-generation fighter jet? Hmm. Actually, the second-generation fighter jet has been under development for a long time! But you have to understand that technology requires time and luck to develop. I can only say that the second-generation fighter jet is under development! And the progress is surprisingly good! I can't say any more! After all, it's a classified project!"

In fact, it is not a second-generation fighter jet under development.

Instead, it is a third-generation fighter jet under development.

The second-generation Zhulong machine was already in service before the second unit was even produced.

However, the individuals he/she is serving in cannot be disclosed.

Normally.

Lu Yiming is a stakeholder.

Such statements, which resemble smokescreens, are naturally not very credible.

For example, someone said at 3400 points that he could already smell the faint aroma of a bull.

But now it has fallen below 3,000 points.

This shows that you really shouldn't believe what stakeholders say.

But Lu Yiming is different.

His personal credibility is quite high.

At this point, the viewers were only concerned about the performance of the Candle Dragon II machine.

[Mr. Lu! We can't just stay silent about the project's progress! But could you perhaps reveal the computing power target for the Aurogon 2nd Generation machine?]

have to say.

This generation of netizens is good at grasping the key points.

I saw this message flooding the screen with comments.

Lu Yiming said with a smile, "I can't say for sure, but it's definitely better than the one today!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming gave him a knowing look.

It is currently a little past 2 PM on Friday.

Affected by the content exposed in the morning, the stock price of Aurogon fell by 3%, but because of Lu Yiming's words, the stock price rebounded to the opening price of the day by the close of trading.

However, this did not completely quell the negative news facing Zhulong.

The production capacity problem of Aurogon has not yet been resolved.

The next day.

Lu Yiming attended the inauguration ceremony of the Aurogon Supercomputing Center.

It took eight months.

The Zhulong Supercomputing Center project held a handover ceremony at the beginning of last month.

Today is the official check-in day.

It covers an area of 30,000 square meters.

There are four buildings in total.

The main building, the Zhulong Supercomputing Center, covers an area of 4,500 square meters.

At this inauguration ceremony.

CEO Zhuang Botao reaffirmed the information Lu Yiming revealed during yesterday's live broadcast.

When asked how the chip problem was solved.

Zhuang Botao's answer was: "In fact, the chip sanctions are a good thing!" This statement caused an uproar in the audience.

It is important to know that Aurogon has been working closely with the domestic semiconductor industry.

The only factor affecting production capacity is chips.

In the current chip industry, they're practically saying they won't sell to Aurogon.

Compared to being far ahead.

The severity of Zhulong's sanctions needs to be taken to an even higher level.

Zhuang Botao looked at the uproar at the scene.

A smile remained on his lips.

He turned his gaze to Lu Yiming beside him.

Lu Yiming gave an affirmative expression.

He continued, "Let's take this opportunity to explain to the public and shareholders what we've done with the funds raised from the stock market since the listing of Zhulong Stock Exchange!"

Aurogon has listed 10% of its shares.

The total is one billion shares.

They raised over 10 billion in cash.

This portion of the cash was divided into three projects.

One is to build the Zhulong production line.

Currently, as long as there are enough chips, thirty units of the Zhulong No. 1 machine can be produced every year.

Unit 2 is simply an improvement on the original Unit 1.

So whether it's producing the second unit or the first unit.

The difference in production capacity will not be particularly large.

The second part is about the Aurogon Supercomputing Center project.

The total investment reached 6.5 billion.

In reality, 2 billion would have been enough, but Lu Yiming spent more than 4 billion to speed things up.

However, Lu Yiming didn't care about the extra billions he spent.

At a friendly price of 3 billion.

The Aurogon Supercomputing Center project was sold from Fanxing Group to Aurogon Electronics Technology.

This part has been publicly announced.

It was also approved by all shareholders in a vote.

So much money was spent on these two projects.

The shareholders thought the spending was perfectly reasonable.

But when Zhuang Botao said that he had invested six billion yuan in Pangu Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.

Everyone present frowned deeply.

First of all.

They had no idea what kind of company Pangu Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. actually was.

But judging from the name...

I knew it must be closely related to Pangu Technology Company.

Well known.

Aurogon Electronics Technology was established from a project spun off from Pangu Technology.

Pangu Technology is a wholly-owned enterprise of Lu Yiming.

As soon as Zhuang Botao said this.

The term "transfer of benefits" comes to mind for many people.

This made them all think of it.

Could it be that this 6 billion is the key to Lu Yiming giving up the core interests of Zhulong?

However, this matter...

Is it really okay to say this in public?
After Zhuang Botao finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of the media representatives, invited shareholders, and entrepreneurs from various industries in the audience.

He could naturally guess what these people were thinking.

at this time.

He looked at Lu Yiming beside him and said, "Let's invite our Chairman Lu Yiming to introduce Pangu Electronics Technology Company to everyone!"

Pangu Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. has been quietly preparing for its operations.

Or rather, they are quietly integrating resources.

Lu Yiming took the microphone.

Looking down at the stage, he smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not the one managing Pangu Electronics Technology Company! Perhaps CEO Yu Shisheng should give a more detailed explanation, but Yu Shisheng is currently busy with the critical moment of the Kaitian project, so it can only be explained by me, the president who has nothing to do and is so idle that he can only livestream playing games every day!"

I don’t know when it started.

Lu Yiming was becoming quite adept at handling this kind of situation.

This remark elicited a burst of laughter.

This also made some people raise an eyebrow.

Lu Yiming mentioned Yu Shisheng in his words.

Who is Yu Shisheng?
Far ahead of other board members, executive directors, and CEO of the Terminal BG.

He was one of the fierce generals on the front lines.

He is second only to Yu Chengdong.

How could someone like this become the CEO of Lu Yiming's company?

Curiosity about Pangu Electronics Technology Company.

It immediately filled these people's hearts.

Especially the Kaitian project that Lu Yiming mentioned.

At this point, Lu Yiming continued, "Unfortunately, due to confidentiality and other reasons, there is limited information I can share about Pangu Electronics Technology. However, you should all know about the High-NAEUV lithography machine, right?"

These words caused the semiconductor professionals present to raise an eyebrow.

The technological evolution of lithography machines can be divided into the following stages: UV lithography machine, dry DUV lithography machine, immersion DUV lithography machine, Low-NAEUV lithography machine, and High-NAEUV lithography machine.

Currently, the technology for High-NAEUV lithography machines is being developed by ASML.

ASML expects to begin shipping in 2025.

In fact, a lithography machine cannot be produced by a single company.

at this time.

Some people drew parallels to previous news about Pangu Company.

The two patents are for extreme ultraviolet light source and intelligent starting bearing.

Looking at these two technologies alone, they don't seem particularly special.

But since Lu Yiming mentioned lithography machines, it makes one want to think deeper into the matter.

For example, these two technologies.

It involves solving two of the four most challenging aspects of lithography machine technology.

at this time.

Lu Yiming noticed that many people on the scene had expressions of sudden realization.

He immediately smiled and said, "It seems some people already understand! Then I'll stop here! Everyone can look forward to the Kaitian Project."

May 24th.

The Kaitian project that Lu Yiming mentioned at noon became a trending topic.

Lu Yiming started a live stream that evening.

The barrage of comments was instantly flooded with netizens' thirst for knowledge.

[Mr. Lu! Let's talk about the Kaitian project! I just want to know if this is a lithography machine!]

[Yeah! There are rumors online that Mr. Lu is building a lithography machine! Is it true or false? If it's true, can you tell us what level of lithography machine it is? I'm so eager to know!]

Wow! They've really been holding back a lot! I knew those two technologies weren't ordinary! Turns out they're really after lithography machines!

[Low-NAEUV lithography machines seem to use extreme ultraviolet light sources, right? Is the lithography machine in the Kaitian project a counterpart to Low-NAEUV?]

【.】

have to say.

Netizens have a strong sense of curiosity.

Lu Yiming looked at the comments after the broadcast started.

He immediately laughed and said, "I'm just a boss! I don't know the answer to technical questions either~ I've already told you everything I can, so please stop asking."

All I can say is that Lu Yiming is quite adept at playing dumb.

of course.

He's still far inferior to that retired old man.

Previous report on extreme ultraviolet light source technology.

Lu Yiming claimed it was just a UV disinfection technology similar to a disinfection cabinet.

Intelligent pneumatic bearing.

It is also known externally as an important component used in CNC machining centers.

The first one had no follow-up.

As for pneumatic bearings, we do indeed cooperate with several domestic machining centers.

So for a very long time.

Nobody is linking these two technologies to lithography machines anymore.

But at today's press conference of the Aurogon Supercomputing Center.
