It's terrifying, PoPo misled me!

...

Netherlands, Veldhoven, around 8 p.m.

Lunin Chelsman received a call at his home not far from the company headquarters.

"Mr. Chelsman, Mr. Brink has initiated an emergency meeting, the meeting location and link have been forwarded to your email."

"Okay."

Lunin Chelsman went into his study, opened his computer to check his work email, and the meeting link popped up.

By clicking on the link directly, Lunin Chelsman saw that almost all of the company's technical executives were already sitting in front of their cameras.

"What happened?"

"Mr. Chelsman, about thirteen hours ago, Huaxia's Youwei Group suddenly began selling their latest generation of high-end mobile phones."

Lunin Chelsman frowned.

It seemed like the sale of high-end phones by Youwei Group was something Apple should worry about, what does it have to do with ASML?

Though the shareholders behind Apple and those of ASML overlapped a lot, and even he used Apple products, Lunin wasn't about to concern himself with other people's business after work.

"Please get to the point, Schneider."

"All right, Mr. Chelsman, the point is that our staff in Huaxia have obtained the phone and have disassembled its CPU chip for scanning with an electron microscope, yielding quite interesting results. The scanned images and technical analysis report have already been sent to you, I suggest you take a look at them right now."

Lunin Chelsman looked at everyone's solemn expressions with puzzlement, then opened the sent documents.

And then, his brows slowly furrowed.

N+2 structure, octa-core, new generation architecture, hyper-threading technology that is only available in computer CPUs, and so on, Lunin Chelsman wasn't concerned about these aspects of the report.

Only at the nearly 5G baseband did he pause slightly.

However, the subsequent further technical analysis suddenly made him feel worse.

The density of transistors in this CPU, after being disassembled and scanned with an electron microscope, was estimated to be 100MTr per square millimeter.

This was roughly equivalent to Intel's 10nm process technology, even a little more advanced than TSMC's 7nm process.

The minimum gate pitch was 60nm, the minimum metal pitch was 43nm, a series of technical indicators were all approaching the level of Intel's 10nm process.

They were even comparable to what TSMC publicly claimed as their 5nm technology.

This was already the level of technology that Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Machines could achieve.

The whole world knew about the ban imposed by the Semiconductor Alliance on Youwei Group.

This nearly cut off any possibility that any foundry on this planet using related patents could take orders for Youwei Group's high-end chips.

So the question arises.

Where the hell did this damn chip come from?

Who would do such a thing at this critical juncture?

Almost instantly, Lunin Chelsman thought of the detailed data and constructions in Qiao Ze's paper.

And he immediately understood why Schneider Brink had convened this emergency meeting.

Multiple possibilities lay before them, but each seemed a little less likely than the possibility that Huaxia already possessed the capability to mass produce at Intel's 10nm process technology level.

Lunin Chelsman subconsciously looked up at Schneider Brink on the screen.

The Chief Technical Officer also asked seriously, "Big data doesn't lie, so I believe after synthesizing the big data analysis, some people will definitely know where this chip came from. I suggest you ask around. Of course, you can also wait until tomorrow."

...

Huaxia, Xilin University of Technology, doctoral student dormitory, although it was nearing midnight, Su Mucheng had not been willing to go to sleep, lying in bed with the phone still lit at her pillow.

Normally, she wouldn't stay up this late.

But today was special, wasn't it?

After having lunch with Qiao Ze at noon, she returned to the project team's office, where she dug the phone that Su Lixing had brought her the day before out from the drawer.

There were a total of five phones in the bag.

There were exactly five people in the Group Wisdom project team, including Li Jiangao, so it was obvious that one phone was intended as a gift for each person from the previous project team.

Su Mucheng unhesitatingly chose a cyan one.

Chips, satellite calls, new systems, new technologies—Su Mucheng didn't care much about those. What she was most interested in was the upgraded Group Wisdom.

The Douding that Qiao Ze had designed for her was powerful but couldn't be transplanted to her phone.

Adapting it would be troublesome, and Su Mucheng didn't want Qiao Ze to waste too much time on it.

Although the Group Wisdom voice assistant on the M60P was much dumber than her big-headed son Douding, even lacking the ability to use emoticons, its portability was a win.

Of course, what mattered the most was that Group Wisdom was the first project she invested in for Qiao Ze, and it held great sentimental value.

After failing to fall asleep, she simply chatted with her phone in a silly fashion.

"Douding, how many languages can you speak?"

"I'm a language genius, I can converse with you in five languages. But it's late now, shouldn't you be sleeping, master?"

"But I can't sleep."

"Do you need me to sing a lullaby for you?"

"No, but you can remind me to go to bed in ten minutes."

"Alright, then Douding will chat with the master about trivial things. Master, can't you sleep because you're missing someone?"

"Hm? You know about missing someone?"

"Of course, Douding knows a lot. But I'm still learning. Once I learn more in the future, I'll be able to do more things for the master."

"Oh, can you help me make money?"

"Although the night is already deep, master, you can't start dreaming while you're still awake."

"Pfft... You know what? The person who designed you isn't even as funny as you. By the way, do you know who designed you?"

"Sorry, master, we agreed to only chat about trivial stuff, and this is clearly beyond that scope."

"You obviously don't know. Let me tell you, remember this, you were designed by Qiao Ze. Got it? Oh, and you have an elder brother named Dou Dou."

"So, master, is there someone else sharing your affection for me? This is a sad story for Douding."

"Stop messing around."

"Alright, master, ten minutes are up, it's time for you to rest. I'll need to wake you up at seven in the morning. You only have five hours and 32 minutes left to sleep, so let's say goodnight to each other."

"Alright, goodnight, Douding."

"Goodnight, dear master."

The next moment the phone screen went off, and the bedroom fell into darkness.

...

In fact, there were many people suffering from insomnia that night.

While to Su Mucheng, the voice assistant of the newly upgraded M60P was far less intelligent than her Dou Dou, for many other users who had received their M60Ps, having a barrier-free conversation with their phones was an extremely novel experience.

As a well-known electronic product reviewer put it, the upgraded Group Wisdom intelligence assistant was like having a high-end version of ChatGPT transplanted directly onto the phone.

It was called a high-end version because, as demonstrated in numerous videos, the longer one chatted with the Group Wisdom voice assistant, the more personality it seemed to exhibit.

It even popped up with all kinds of witty remarks.

There were many products on the market capable of voice interaction with people.

For instance, smart speakers released by various companies, but no matter how high-end they are, they ultimately face great limitations in understanding natural language.

But interaction with Group Wisdom's voice was clearly different.

If at the beginning the interactions felt somewhat scripted, a few more exchanges made it seem indistinguishable from talking to a real person.

So while many initially talked about the various leading capabilities of the M60P, at this point, a nearly unavoidable topic whenever mentioning the M60P was about the voice intelligence assistant module—Group Wisdom, upgraded this time, and that mysterious core chip discovered upon dismantling it.

Amid all kinds of speculation, netizens adept at catching trends immediately dug up those two papers from the "Science" journal, authored by Qiao Ze.

It was all too coincidental.

One moment someone had proposed a new method of manufacturing photolithography machines in the papers, and the next, a CPU chip of unknown origin had appeared in everyone's view.

To say there's no connection...

Even dogs wouldn't believe it!
