Network simulation technology had always been the trend of industrial development.
In the earlier era of paper blueprints, the amount of paper used was the most intuitive indicator to measure the complexity of a piece of equipment.
For example, a bicycle would only take 10 drawings to complete its entire structure.
A motorcycle would need at least 100.
A car would need around 1,000.
Tanks, airplanes, and other complex equipment made up of thousands of parts would probably need more than 10,000 sheets of paper.
The most complex design would be the ships made up of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of modules or parts. The paper used for the design drawings would be calculated in tons.
It was said that the design drawings of large aircraft carriers would need several trucks to carry them away.
These drawings were hand-drawn by the designers one by one. Not only was it difficult to ensure absolute accuracy, but the efficiency was also quite low.
However, after entering the computer era, with the assistance of industrial design software, the era of blueprints was completely bid farewell. Standardization and efficiency had been greatly improved.
For example, Z country's fifth-generation fighter, the J-20, took 14 years from the establishment of the project to the first flight, and only 6 years from the first flight to the service … It would take 30 years overseas.
The performance of the large military transport aircraft, the Y-20, was even more exaggerated. It took 7 years from the establishment of the project to the first flight, and only 3 years from the first flight to the service … It usually took 20 years overseas.
The reason why Z country's efficiency was so high was due to the hard work of the scientific and technological workers. Throughout the entire equipment development cycle, the use of computer design software throughout the entire process also greatly accelerated the project progress.
Therefore, industrial design software could be called the "accelerator" of equipment development.
However, compared to common industrial software, the powerful "virtual factory" could no longer be simply described as an "accelerator."
It was more appropriate to describe it as a "cheat machine."
This was because the "virtual factory" could not only design the structure of the equipment, but it could also realistically simulate the working state of the equipment!
Could ordinary industrial software achieve this?
Of course, the West could not be belittled. M country's engine technology was so powerful because they had an advanced engine design software that could dynamically simulate the working state of the engine and obtain some high-value data.
However, the degree of simulation was not high.
Its scope of application was limited.
Compared to the "virtual factory," it was of a completely different dimension.
In other words, the "virtual factory" was the ultimate design tool.
Lin Licong had also learned about the various characteristics of the "virtual factory" from his colleagues who had come into contact with and even operated the "virtual factory."
Then, he fell into a state of deep worry.
Lin Licong, male, 25 years old, from Taiwan. He loved his hometown very much.
As a semiconductor design graduate, the company he was most eager to enter was actually Mossy Electrics, which was known as the "Light of Treasure Island." However, due to the fierce competition on the island and the urgent shortage of relevant talents on the mainland, he went to the mainland to give it a try. He easily passed the interview and entered Zhongxin International.
Their salary was twice as high as the students who joined Mossy Electricity.
Logically speaking, he should be happy, but he wasn't. He just treated it as a job to make ends meet.
When his skills and abilities improved, he still wanted to join Mossy Electrics … Zhongxin was just a springboard for him.
However, he did not expect that the two years he had been with Zhongxin would be the two years where Zhongxin rose to prominence.
First, he conquered the 7-nanometer in eight months.
Then, in a short period of time, he broke the ban on the sale of photolithography machines and used another eight months to conquer the 5-nanometer technology.
Now, it was on par with Mossy Electric.
Most of the netizens on Taiwan did not believe this speed of progress and thought it was fake news. However, as the technical backbone of the production line, Lin Licong saw the 5-nanometer chip coming off the production line with his own eyes. He was extremely shocked at that time, but he could not hypnotize himself.
In addition, in the process of Zhongxin's rise, he also enjoyed huge dividends.
For example, his salary increased to 30,000 per month, which was three times that of his classmates who joined Mossy Electrics.
Last month, Zhongxin issued new shares, and he received 100,000 yuan worth of shares. Now, it had appreciated to 400,000 yuan.
Even so.
In the process of online chatting with his classmates, he did not share the joy of his salary increase. Instead, he combined some insider information he heard and conveyed his concerns. "They have a set of design software that runs on a supercomputer to assist in the research and development of the chip. It's called the 'Virtual Factory.' With this software, they mastered the 5-nanometer process technology in a few months. This is a fatal 'technological surprise!'"
Due to his identity, Lin Licong did not have the opportunity to operate the 'Virtual Factory' on the computer. However, he learned a lot of detailed information from a colleague from the mainland whom he had a good relationship with. That colleague treated him as a close friend and loved to brag in front of him.
Lin Licong successfully used these two points.
His classmates from Treasure Island were all stunned.
A virtual factory with a simulation degree of 99.9999%.
Research and development costs reduced by more than 90%.
Scientific research efficiency increased by more than 10 times.
With such a powerful cheat, how could those players who did not have cheats play?
"Impossible! How can there be such an exaggerated technology? "
"Lin Licong, have you been brainwashed? How can you make up such nonsense! "
"Hehe, you've actually learned to lie and brag after being on the mainland for so long."
His classmates did not believe him at all. They raised their doubts one after another. Some even wanted to cut ties with him.
"I'm really not lying to you!"
Lin Licong tried his best to explain, "Do you know Xing Hai Technologies? The virtual factory technology was developed by Xing Hai Technologies and then provided to Zhongxin International. Do you think that Xing Hai Technologies has the ability to develop this set of tools? "
Xing Hai Technologies?
This time, all his classmates were silent.
They often despised the various backward technologies of the mainland.
But in recent years, Xing Hai Technologies had risen at the speed of light. They really could not find any obvious points to criticize. There was even a group of "Xing fans" on Taiwan. After experiencing various products from Xing Hai Technologies, they began to brainlessly flatter the mainland. Once they raised a retort, they would be slapped in the face in various ways. "My son got first place with the Little Star learning machine. What did you get?" "The Bang Bang robot made our family less sick." "The Star Cloud mobile phone is really very useful. If you don't believe me, let's compare."
After being slapped in the face by the "Xing fans" so many times, his face was a little numb. There were very few people on the island who criticized Xing Hai Technologies.
Now that they knew that the "virtual factory" technology was developed by Xing Hai Technologies.
Lin Licong's classmates did not continue to question him.
Instead, they began to panic!
In the face of Zhongxin International, who had cheats, what could they use to resist?
Moreover, with the capabilities of these few small fries, they would definitely be the first to be laid off when the crisis arrived.
Perhaps it was to save themselves. They hurriedly reported this situation to the higher-ups of Mossy Electrics.
A few more hours passed.
Lin Licong became an important informant planted by the M nation's Central Intelligence Agency. He was given the mission to investigate all information about the "virtual factory." On the list of secret mission executors of the CIA, his importance was ranked 15th.
He enjoyed an activity allowance of 30,000 dollars per month.
Of course, this money had never fallen into his pocket. He had never even heard of it.
Lin Licong still faithfully completed his mission. He paid out of his own pocket to treat his colleague, who had the opportunity to operate the "virtual factory," to a meal and to play. He obtained more information about the "virtual factory."
Under his pleading, he even obtained a few pictures that his colleague had secretly taken … Then, he quickly sent them across the ocean.
…
June 18th.
M nation.
The White House in Washington, DC. The president's office.
Sanders Capello, the director of the CIA, walked into the office with a thick document in his hand. He placed the document in front of the president.
"Mr. President, we must lodge a protest to the Z nation and demand that they immediately hand over a deadly technology that is enough to change the geopolitical landscape and endanger the entire Western civilization … We have enough evidence. Now, we should take iron-blooded actions and exert the greatest pressure to protect our interests and maintain the fairness of the world!"
Dana Trump opened the document with some doubts.
Not long after, the office was filled with his roars.
