Just as Jiang Chen expected, on the third day after the news of the Dragon Calvary X1 graphene chip leaked, Hua sent someone over. Led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the representative from Loongson arrived at Coro Island.
He greeted the two at the airport. What surprised Jiang Chen was that the Foreign Affairs official looked familiar.
"Long time no see, Mr. Jiang." Liu Haotian extended his hand and shook Jiang Chen's.
"Long time no see indeed. The last time we met, you were still in the concierge, and now you're a diplomat? "Jiang Chen smiled and looked at the stranger.
"This is Hu Weiwen, the president of Loongson." Liu Haotian politely introduced the person behind him.
The middle-aged man, who was at least twenty years older than Jiang Chen, extended his hand first and shook Jiang Chen's hand as a sign of respect.
"I'm Wu Weiwen, I've long heard of Mr. Jiang's name. Now that I've met you, you're indeed as young and promising as the rumors say."
"You flatter me." Jiang Chen smiled and ushered the two into the car.
Liu Haotian was slightly surprised by the car. He didn't recognize the brand of the car. As if Jiang Chen saw his surprise, after the Celestial Trade bodyguard opened the door, Jiang Chen explained.
"Luer S100, a pure electric vehicle using solid-state lithium-air battery with a range of 500 kilometers. Limited to 1000 units worldwide."
Liu Haotian remembered the brand Luer. It seemed to be a new European car company specializing in pure electric vehicles. At the Ber Auto Show, it received 100 million USD in financing and won a battery order from Future Heavy Industries. In terms of practicality, it surpassed Tesla and had the potential to compete with the Silicon Valley car company in the alternative energy field.
Currently, Future Group invested 740 million USD in Coro Island to fully implement the alternative energy vehicle policy. Luer and three other European car companies were fortunate enough to share in this policy, so it was easy to see Luer cars on Coro Island.
"500 kilometers? Good stuff. "Liu Haotian was envious.
It could be seen that he was also a car lover.
"You want one? I'll give one to you. "Jiang Chen smiled.
"No thanks, I don't dare to accept gifts." Liu Haotian laughed as he waved his hand.
Jiang Chen smiled and didn't mention it again.
Liu Haotian was not much older than him, yet he could be so reserved at his age. If it wasn't for the fact that he had a pure heart and few desires, then it could only be said that his ambitions were not small.
When Wu Weiwen arrived downstairs at Future Building, he looked at the more than 400 meters tall building in awe. This building was not the tallest in Wanghai or Shangjing, but the significance of such a building built on the Pacific Rim of Fire was different.
This was an area with frequent earthquakes. Typhoons and tsunamis would visit from time to time. Building one meter here was not as easy as building two meters in Wanghai.
"Is Mr. Wu interested in this building?"
"I'm afraid this building material is not simple." Although he didn't know much about it, Wu Weiwen still had a doctorate, so he could see some things.
"If you're interested, you're welcome to visit often." Jiang Chen smiled and brought the two to the conference room.
The conference room was located in the middle of the building, and it didn't take long to take the elevator there.
The three of them took their seats at the conference table, and Wu Weiwen quickly went straight to the point.
"I heard that you've made significant progress in the research of the supercomputer chip. Is this rumor true?"
"Of course." Jiang Chen said frankly, "In the field of graphene, we're at the forefront of the world."
Wu Weiwen and Liu Haotian looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
With the joy in his eyes gone, Wu Weiwen looked at Jiang Chen with a serious expression.
"We're here to cooperate with you in the field of graphene chips."
"Of course, we welcome cooperation, but … why Loongson?" Jiang Chen asked.
Originally, Jiang Chen thought that Hua would be interested in the Dragon Calvary X1 chip and make an order with Future Heavy Industrial. But since it was Loongson, the situation was a bit tricky.
"We want to obtain the technical authorization for the graphene chip and the Dragon Calvary X1 architecture," Wu Weiwen replied.
After the UA imposed a supercomputer chip embargo on Hua, the development of domestically produced computer chips was put on the agenda. But due to technical reasons, compatibility, and other factors, China's Loongson and other domestic chips still used the ARM architecture.
In terms of performance, although some domestic media exaggerated that Loongson was the best in the world, there was no market to prove it. But the cold market already proved that Loongson's performance was not as attractive as advertised. In fact, whether it was Feiteng or Loongson, in terms of chip manufacturing process, they were two generations behind Intel and other internationally renowned companies.
Wu Weiwen's visit this time was partly to obtain the patent authorization for the graphene chip, and partly because he was interested in the instruction set used by the Dragon Calvary X1 chip. It was revealed in the news that the "Dragon Calvary X1" used a completely different chip architecture than X86, ARM, and MIPS.
"The technical authorization for the graphene chip is not a problem, but the instruction set is a bit troublesome." Jiang Chen's index finger tapped on the table as he looked at the nervous Wu Weiwen. "After all, the Dragon Calvary X1 chip is still in the lab and hasn't entered the stage of patent registration, including the lix architecture designed by Future Technology."
"How is the performance of the lix architecture?" Wu Weiwen immediately asked.
"I'm personally very satisfied," Jiang Chen smiled. Jiang Chen smiled. "In terms of the complexity of the instruction set, we may be more streamlined than the ARM architecture. And in terms of the performance of the chip, we are not inferior to Intel's X86 architecture. "
"Not inferior" was still an understatement. In the apocalypse, the lix architecture was the most widely used graphene chip and was one of the earliest architectures developed. It was the foundation of all derivative architectures. Jiang Chen planned to register 1000 patents, and the patent application documents were still in the process of being written.
"What's the licensing price?"
"Please don't be impatient, Mr. Wu Weiwen." Jiang Chen sighed. "We can't license technology that hasn't been patented yet."
Wu Weiwen's expression was awkward as he realized his abruptness. But he had no choice. The reason why he was so unreserved was because this thing was too important to Hua!
"I recommend you buy the Dragon Calvary X1. The performance of this supercomputer chip is far superior to Intel's Xeon phi. If you place an order now, once we complete the patent application process, you can receive the first batch. "
Jiang Chen paused for a moment before he looked at Liu Haotian.
"I can guarantee that this chip can help you beat the entire supercomputer ranking."
The last sentence was directed at the people behind Liu Haotian.
"Developing domestic chips is an order from the higher-ups. The supercomputer chip embargo is a wake-up call for us. We must master our own chip production capabilities." Liu Haotian shook his head. "Although your proposal is tempting … we prefer Loongson to master the chip production technology."
Jiang Chen looked at Liu Haotian and Wu Weiwen, who refused to nod.
Even if I give you the instruction set, you may not be able to beat Intel! From research and development to independent production, how long do you plan to use silicon-based chips? We are a family! In the future, I'll embark on a embargo on anyone but you guys, right?
"How about this, let's sign a two-year contract for the Dragon Calvary X1 chip supply. Next month, after we complete the patent registration of the lix architecture, we can talk about licensing the lix architecture. Research and development can't be done in a day. You can use our product first. Once you develop your own chip, you can terminate the contract with us. "
Liu Haotian and Wu Weiwen looked at each other and nodded at Jiang Chen.
"That's a good proposal. I'll ask the higher-ups."
"Then today's negotiation will end here. I look forward to your good news." Jiang Chen stood up and extended his right hand with a smile.
[Once our supercomputer dominates the top 500 supercomputer ranking and kicks the UA out of the top ten, I don't believe you will be willing to terminate the contract with us!]
The Dragon Calvary X1 was mainly used for export since Xin didn't consume supercomputer chips.
You want to ask why?
It was because it was too low-end.
Future Group's servers were all quantum computers and had long abandoned the "outdated" technology of conventional supercomputers.
