Homo sapiens.

Even SMIC had to accept America's price increase instructions.

The price of semiconductor components imported by Homo sapiens from the outside skyrocketed by 8 to 12 times in an instant.

Luoyang District of Star Island.

The Human Resources Department of Homo sapiens set up the Xingdao Personnel Department here. At this time, there was a long queue here, and many people were waiting anxiously wearing masks.

Inside the building.

Zhang Kai, who had just been fired by Intel, and a dozen other colleagues lined up here, preparing to apply for relief.

After more than 20 minutes, it was finally Zhang Kai's turn.

The employee from the personnel department transferred from Luzon glanced at Zhang Kai's ID card and application form: "Intel's packaging and testing technician? 11 years of work experience?"

"Yes, no problem?" Zhang Kai was a little nervous.

The staff of the Personnel Department took out the entry application form for social employees, the employee contract, and the employee need-to-know manual: "Take it and go to Office No. 14 on the second floor, and think it through."

Zhang Kai, who was holding these documents, and four other old colleagues went to Office No. 14 on the second floor. There were a large number of desks and chairs in the office, which was somewhat similar to a classroom.

The assistant leads them in.

"Sit anywhere."

After taking his seat, Zhang Kai asked, "What are you going to do next?"

The assistant pointed to the documents in their hands: "Look through these documents, and then decide whether you want to sign a contract. If you want to sign a contract, just tell me. If you don't sign a contract, you can leave by yourself."

"OK, thank you." Zhang Kai opened the contract.

The so-called social employees are people who do not work in the subsidiaries and internal organizations of Homo sapiens company, but live in the control area of ​​Homo sapiens company.

Such social employees are usually minors, the elderly, the disabled, the unemployed, the rich and freelancers.

While looking at the contract, Zhang Kai flipped through what employees need to know.

Through the comparison between the two sides, it was soon discovered that the so-called social employees are actually the marginalized people of the Sapiens company. The company does not need you to work, but will provide you with housing, clothing, food, and medical care.

Of course, Zhang Kai knows that such a good thing is definitely not so enjoyable.

Because the employee needs to know the handbook, the standard of relief has been indicated, which basically guarantees that the person will not die, but if you want to enjoy it, don't even think about it.

However, being a social employee does not mean that you cannot upgrade.

As long as you get a job, that can totally improve your standard of living.

If you don't want to work, you have to check your savings, or whether your relatives have enough money to support them, or you can only accept this lowest level of "welfare".

Zhang Kai is not too disappointed about this. Now that the economy of Sing Tao is in such a horrible state, the Sing Tao dollar has depreciated by 63%, and Europe and the United States have announced that they will not recognize the Sing Tao dollar.

After a large amount of foreign capital withdrew, unemployment broke out instantly.

Zhang Kai raised his head and asked, "Assistant Hal, if I work in a company with a non-Homo sapiens system, will the social employee's contract continue?"

"Mr. Zhang, social employees only have two options: death and quitting. As long as you don't quit, you will be an employee of the company until your life ends." Hal explained with a smile.

"quit?"

"Exiting means leaving the company and no longer enjoying all the benefits of the company."

Hehe, it’s fine if you just say that it’s not good to cancel your nationality, Zhang Kai secretly complained in his heart.

However, he still had doubts: "Assistant Hal, how do I handle the work contracts I signed with other companies?"

"Don't worry! You don't need to sign a work contract, because in this type of situation, you usually use labor dispatch directly. You will participate in the work of other companies as employees of Homo sapiens."

"Labor dispatch? What about the salary and benefits?" Zhang Kai looked confused.

"Of course it's paid by the company." Hal spread his hands.

As for foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises, they need to pay taxes to Homo sapiens and pay labor cooperation fees.

In essence, social employees working for private companies is the cooperation between Homo sapiens companies and private companies. Homo sapiens companies provide labor and private companies obtain labor.

Therefore, social employees are also graded, and the salaries and benefits of these employees are also uniformly distributed by Homo sapiens.

"Is this mandatory?"

"Naturally it is enforced."

Zhang Kai and several old colleagues looked at each other in blank dismay, and only then did they know why Homo Sapiens claimed that there were no unemployed inside.

According to this rhythm, those who do not work in the subsidiaries and affiliated institutions of Homo Sapiens are all social employees, regardless of whether they are men, women, old or young, can get protection.

In this case, there will naturally be no unemployed.

A child has a "job" as soon as he is born, so there is no such thing as unemployment.

"Is it the same with our family?"

Hal nodded, "Same."

"OK." Zhang Kai already understood.

There are only two options at all, either to become an employee of Homo sapiens, or to leave mellowly, other than that, there is no third option.

Zhang Kai considered that it would be very difficult for his parents in their 70s, his wife and children, and a family of seven to immigrate to Australia, so it would be better to use Homo sapiens company for benefits.

"I want to become a regular employee, what process do I need to go through?"

Hal pointed out: "Don't worry, but if you are a little self-motivated, and the whole family is in the company, it is very easy to apply for a formal position."

Hearing this, Zhang Kai was a little surprised: "It's easier for people with families to apply for jobs?"

"The family is in the company. After all, some positions require confidentiality. It is generally difficult for new social employees without families to obtain such positions, such as positions in the Internal Security Department, Internal Affairs Department, and Internal Affairs Department. They don't want newcomers. single dog."

Zhang Kai was a little worried: "The company doesn't seem to have a semiconductor industry?"

Hal shook his head: "Everything will be there, you shouldn't ask, don't ask casually, you are still strong and strong, you don't need to worry about not having a job."

The vast majority of people present have chosen to become social employees, and those who do not choose are, after all, a minority.

The whole world is having a hard time now, at least within Homo Sapiens, there is no need to worry about starving to death. As Hal said, anyone with a little bit of self-motivation can feel like a fish in water within Homo Sapiens.

Chapter 289 What Can't Kill Me Will Make Me Stronger

Faced with the retreat of semiconductors, precision instruments, and petrochemical refining controlled by European and American capital.

Li Guming, who was appointed as the governor of Sing Tao, and the deputy governors Yang Fan (internal affairs) and Zhang Wei (economic affairs).

An internal meeting was quickly held.

The specific content is not known to the outside world at all.

But that night, some semiconductor, petrochemical refining, and precision instrument companies controlled by Sing Tao itself were directly merged into six major groups: Sing Tao Semiconductor, Nanyang Electronics, Sing Tao Petroleum, Nanyang Petrochemical, Sing Tao Instruments, and Nanyang Equipment.

Homo sapiens then secretly started preparations for merging Malaysia, Java and East Timor.

After all, America's intelligence department has already guessed that there is a problem with Malaysia and Java, so Homo sapiens simply stopped acting.

The newly established Sing Tao will acquire the entire Liau Nei Islands from Java, plus the state of Johor separated from Malaysia to form a municipality directly under the Central Government of Sing Tao.

The rest of Malaysia, the Malay Peninsula, merged with Sumatra to form the Malacca region.

The North Borneo part of Malaysia and the South Borneo part of Java form the Borneo Region.

The Java Island of Java, together with the Lesser Sunda Islands and Timor Island, forms the Java District.

Sulawesi, the Luku Islands, and half of New Guinea form the Spice Islands region.

The control areas of the entire Sapiens company are Luzon, Siam, Hongshawadi, Ceylon (including Diego Garcia), Malacca, Borneo, Java, and Spice Islands. And the Assam District, which is not planned to be made public for the time being.

In addition, Sing Tao City, Yangon City, Manila City, and East Timor City are directly under the Central Government.

The total area reaches 418 million square kilometers, with a total population of 6.2 million, including 3873 million new humans and 271 million soldiers, accounting for 6.69% of the total population.

This scale has crushed most countries in the world.

After all, new humans can quickly learn all kinds of knowledge and skills by relying on biochips. The training time for ordinary talents only takes a few months, and they can be initially accelerated.

……

The industrial war launched by European and American capital.

Although Homo sapiens lost many import and export channels, especially the semiconductor industry, it was destroyed almost instantly.

But this kind of blow is actually useless to Homo sapiens.

Sing Tao Semiconductor Group.

Quickly gather the laid-off employees from Europe, America, Samsung, and TSMC.

Johor State, which has already been prepared, has cleared a special city for the rapid placement of the new factory of Sing Tao Semiconductor Group.

Zhang Kai, who had just had a three-day relief meal, was notified by the company early in the morning to go to Chip City.

He was on the ferry with some colleagues.

On the sea not far away, the Haili is still digging deeper into the channel of the Strait of Malacca.

"Is there a semiconductor industry in Johor?" An old colleague was puzzled.

"It's probably newly established!"

"Then what did we do in the past? We can't help build factories, can we?"

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 Xingdao. The previous name here has been erased, and the population has rapidly changed to professionals serving the semiconductor industry.

The chip city is not big, it can accommodate about 10 people, and all factories in the city have completed adaptive transformation within a few days.

A previous rubber pillow manufacturing plant was transformed into a semiconductor packaging and testing plant with ultra-clean workshops in just 4 days.

For the manufacture of ultra-clean workshops, after a series of experience in the construction of underground base cities, Homo sapiens has already had a very mature and fast construction plan, and there is no need to invite foreign companies to design and build.

Homo Sapiens has semiconductor and chip R&D and manufacturing institutions inside. After all, biological chips also need secondary development and transformation.

For biological chips, Homo sapiens does not plan to sell them publicly for the time being, so it established another chip research and development department a long time ago, specializing in how to produce products similar to traditional electronic chips.

Now is the time to apply these results.

When Zhang Kai came to the office, Wilson, their workshop leader, looked at the 24 people present.

"Let me introduce myself, my humble 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 done packaging and testing in other semiconductor companies before, but the company's process is somewhat different. , you need to familiarize yourself with it."

He quickly divided these people into 6 shifts. For industries that require 24-hour production, the company usually prepares 6 to 8 work batches of people.

Zhang Kai formed a class with three unfamiliar people.

After changing clothes in the locker room, they entered the clean room again, and then put on special protective clothing in the clean room.

Finally entered the packaging and testing workshop.

In fact, the entire workshop has realized fully automated production. The work of the employees is basically manual sampling, monitoring the production status of the production line, and communicating with other workshops and the production line's general office.

All kinds of chips produced by the factory next door are provided with underground clean passages and sent to the packaging and testing factory.

Zhang Kai's workshop is responsible for packaging and testing the No. 14 general-purpose chip (car computer chip).

What chip is this?When Zhang Kai saw the data on the display, his computing power reached 200 trillion times per second?

You must know that Apple's latest A14 processor adopts TSMC's 5-nanometer process, integrates tens of billions of transistors, and its limit computing power reaches 11 trillion operations per second.

Various test data are constantly beating on the computer screen.

This chip with a length and width of 2 cm uses a 100-nanometer process and integrates 2 million transistors, but its computing power has reached 200 trillion operations per second.

In the case of a 20-fold difference in process size and a 50-fold difference in transistor density, overtaking can still be achieved. The fundamental reason is the difference in core technology between the two parties.

Intel, TSMC, and Samsung are all electronic chips.

Homo sapiens, on the other hand, uses a photoelectric composite chip, and all transistors are photonic transistors.

A single transistor can realize 16 kinds of light switches, and its core is an organic light-sensitive component isolated from light-sensitive cells.

When this component is irradiated by ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 150-30 nanometers, it will generate a staged potential difference and temporarily fix this potential difference, and use 33 nanometers of ultraviolet light to release this potential difference. .

Therefore, this photonic chip is not a traditional binary mode, but a hexadecimal mode.

The speed of photons is faster than that of electrons, and a photon channel can pass through composite photon beams, plus the switch has 16 changes, so the speed of photon chips will be very fast, and the capacity for storing information is also very large.

At the same time, since photons are bosons, rather than fermions like electrons, the energy consumption during their operation is also very low.

This chip with a computing power of 200 trillion times per second consumes only about 14% of the Apple A3.2.
