But it will take at least two years to wait until the Queen's first voyage.

After investing all the money planned this year, my wallet was empty and the end of the year was approaching. Joanna and An Feng spent a Thanksgiving Day without turkey. They were not Americans, but they didn't care about the festival. Instead, they volunteered with the girls in the school together, which was busy but fun.

After Thanksgiving, December, universities in various places began to count down the holidays. Joanna was also planning holiday activities when preparing for the exam. An Feng was responsible for searching for strategies online according to her requirements and choosing what she liked... The life was very peaceful until the GP company notified him.

Graphene chips have finally succeeded!

The news came a little late. According to An Feng's original prediction, it could be made in three to five months, but it has taken almost a year now. It can be seen that the gap between ideals and reality is quite different. Even if the theory is completely correct, the experts in the technical team still have a long way to go.

But breaking through is a good thing, which means you have money to make money again.

An Feng finally felt the urgency of lack of money. When he first started selling Tailan shares, how should he spend more than one billion yuan? But as soon as the personal plan was implemented, his wallet was immediately empty. Offshore accounts have a lot of money, but that is of a company nature and is not as convenient as a private account.

The market potential of graphene chips is no worse than that of super batteries. It is even easier to popularize the public and can drive the revolution in chip technology.

Anfeng special plane flew to Texas and landed at Austin Airport. The company sent a special car to pick him up. It was very interesting. It was actually a Tras MODEL-S.

Due to the powerful GP energy, Tesla, which has a particularly huge demand for super batteries, follows them closely.

The driver opened the rear door for him, An Feng got into the car, and the electric car started quietly, and the Mercedes-Benz was running calmly and uniformly on the road. It felt very different from a gasoline car, and it was too quiet to drive. If Tesla put more effort into the interior and suspension, you wouldn't feel that it was in the car if you close your eyes.

But the workmanship of American cars...I won't discuss this.

"Is it using a new battery?" An Feng asked boredly.

The driver nodded and said, "Yes, sir. It looks the same as the ordinary MODEL-S, but it uses a super battery specially developed by the company for Tesla. It has an outstanding range and can reach more than 650 kilometers. The super charging station is charged 70% in five minutes and is fully charged in ten minutes."

An Feng said: "There are few super charging stations in Texas, right? What about the ordinary ones?"

The driver replied: "Wall-mounted high-voltage charging can be fully charged in twenty-five minutes. However, the charging plug for ordinary households takes about forty minutes."

"Very good!" An Feng finally felt that the future was close to him, starting with super batteries and then to super chips, slowly driving various fields.

The driver was a chattering thing, and when he saw An Feng speak, he couldn't stop: "Recently, Tesla can be regarded as a star in the automotive industry. He signed a ten-year super battery supply contract with GP Energy. In the future, the US electric vehicle market will probably be dominated by it, and the stocks have also been doubled."

An Feng asked with a smile: "Did you buy Tesla's stock?"

The driver also smiled: "After GP company announced a breakthrough in super battery technology, I bought a little Tesla stock as early as possible. Now it has risen more than doubled. Unfortunately, it is not the original stock. The guy who takes the original stock is the most profitable. More than two hundred times, it can be called a mass production place for millionaires."

An Feng joked: "If GP energy is going to be listed in the future, everyone will have to hurry up and buy it."

The driver said: "Of course, I'm very optimistic about it."

I chatted all the way to the company. I haven't seen each other for two months. The land next to me has turned into a construction site. I heard from the driver that it is building a new building, which takes into account both office and technological research and development. There is also a tarmac on the roof. An Feng likes this, the designer is good, and the boss just needs to have a special apron on the roof.

The electric car took a distance and drove a temporary renovated highway to the sixth-story office building of the original company. It stopped steadily. The female assistant Eve had been waiting for a long time. She quickly stepped forward and opened the door. An Feng got out of the car, looked up at the office building, and walked towards the main entrance.

An Feng said as he walked, "Is it going well recently?"

Eve nodded: "The company is operating well. GP Energy's workshop No. 1 is operating at the end of the year, and it is expected to be completed in the second half of next year."

An Feng looked at her with a smile: "I mean you, can you get used to a busy life?"

With John's previous lessons, he was right to ask this question. He really liked to put everything on the assistant secretary and go there freely.

Eve smiled: "Thank you Mr. An for your concern. The work is very challenging, but I can do it well."

An Feng nodded: "I believe in you."

Eve's job is pretty good. Although there is still a gap with John, who is skilled and talented, for An Feng, who doesn't like to change hands frequently and is a little nostalgic, as long as it is not a fatal flaw, he plans to slowly cultivate himself into a trustworthy confidant. Eve is the candidate.

When I came to the laboratory, I hugged Song Wenrui, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, and said to the group members: "Congratulations everyone! I'll bring you such a great New Year gift!"

Song Wenrui said: "Fortunately, I have the strong support from my husband."

An Feng smiled and said, "You are too modest. Without your job, where would you have such a wonderful today?"

An Feng's words benefited the employees. Although they did the finishing work, the one who really pioneered the situation has always been this somewhat unpredictable young boss, being able to contribute to the Great Wall of Science and Technology and witness its breakthrough and rise is a lifelong glory worth remembering.

After the greetings, the personality of the engineering man was exposed, and everyone got to the point and showed the sample. It was a computer similar to the size of a home computer case.

Song Wenrui introduced: "We successfully installed the graphene chip on the computer and assembled it into a minicomputer, which has 16 super processor chips built in. But apart from the chips, we are not prepared in other aspects. The minicomputer was made in cooperation with IBM."

He continued: "The processor chip uses IBM's POWER architecture, and other hardware is taken from suppliers in various fields. The R&D team is currently considering whether to develop a processor architecture that is exclusive to us, or we will cooperate with it according to IBM's idea to get ready-made ones."

There are many ways to make processor chips, such as small computers and servers, which are a bit far from ordinary people. For current home microcomputers, chips are nothing more than Intel or AMD. They seem different, but they all use the X86 architecture. If microcomputer companies in other countries want to make chips, they must have the authorization of X86. The patent of X86 is in the hands of Intel. If it doesn't give it to you, it will be useless to do anything you do.

The principles of minicomputers and mainframes are similar, and IBM's architecture patents are there.

An Feng has his own ideas. He has a new architecture with strong compatibility in his mind, whether it is a microcomputer platform or other mainframe platforms, simple instructions or complex instruction sets, and this is much easier than developing chips. It only takes a few days to say it out.

But now he is concerned about performance issues: "How is the performance comparison?"

Song Wenrui said: "Compared with IBM's Power-740 minicomputer, the test piece has 32G memory, and the main frequency peak of the graphene chip reaches 300GHz. After a series of complex comprehensive tests, it was concluded that its performance is about 150 times that of 740, which is comparable to a large computer."

"Great!" An Feng said, knowing that it is too complicated and useless, you only need to know the strength after comparison. Graphene has indeed not disappointed him now.

Song Wenrui continued: "And it generates very little heat and consumes low power, and the manufacturing cost is about ten times higher than that of the same type of computer."

Ten times change to hundreds of times the performance, as long as it is not a brain heat, the market for small machines is huge. If its performance can replace mainframes, it will almost monopolize the medium and mainframes. IBM will definitely be very anxious, but fortunately they also have shares in GP companies.

There are too many articles that can be done here. I guess IBM's senior executives should consider how to bribe people from GP companies to get more shares, or cooperate in research and development, and swallow this huge market. Maybe their ambitions will rekindle and they will want to invade the microcomputer market.

But An Feng didn't want to touch GP's shares anymore. The water was too deep and the consortium family was taking root. If there were outsiders, it would be difficult to coordinate. The best way to get graphene chips was to create another subsidiary...GP Electronics, and finally recruited wise men like last time.

An Feng was not interested in the business fight. The purpose of developing these was to make money, but now it is also the same, but there is one more: robot companies can use it. He considered making a mainframe and moving it back to San Francisco as the core server of the robot company to expand the field of cloud computing.

Hoffman has been wanting to use GP's graphene computers recently. In addition to his hobbies, he said that he can provide a lot of help in R&D work.

Even this geek has plans to form a small-scale cloud computing network.

The future cloud computing is very interesting. A small mobile device connects to a mainframe through the network. The computing process completely occurs on the large-scale machine. The device is only responsible for receiving the final data through the network. In some aspects, the computing power of the mobile device is as strong as that of the mainframe.

If you expand further, and add it to the laptop, desktop, or tablet, there is no need to develop separate chips. All of them are mainly cloud computing, and the computing will happen to the core host, which is both fast and powerful... In other words, An Feng feels that this is the prototype of "Skynet".

Hoffman walked around this pit!
