Chapter 046 Silicon Killer
An Feng turned back in disappointment and took two drinks.
"for you!"
"Thank you." Joanna took the drink, saw the disappointment in his eyes, touched him with her arm, and said in a low voice: "Do you feel bored?"
"Yes. I thought it was the wonderful college student carnival dance in the movie." An Feng rarely hides his emotions in front of Joanna. They have always been good friends who can say everything.
"The motive is impure." Joanna's mouth popped up with a Chinese word, and then she changed her English with some gloating pleasure: "I didn't get what I want, right? There are all a group of nerds here. Everyone is about to graduate. They pursue a young man who conforms to reality and doesn't like to talk big."
"How much does these words mean?" An Feng was bored and talked nonsense to her. "First, you said 'all', indicating that you admit that you are also a nerd, and then 'boldly talk', I want to say that I was wronged, I'm very serious, okay? Finally, young man... I want to thank you for this!"
Joanna gently covered her mouth and said, "Can't laugh anymore, the makeup on her face is going to be messed up."
"You are beautiful without makeup." An Feng took a sip of the drink, then raised his chin and signaled Joanna to turn back: "Your friend is looking for you."
Joanna looked back at the girls and greeted them. They invited her over. Joanna turned her head and said without waiting for her to speak. An Feng understood and said, "Go quickly, don't consider my feelings. I will treat this place as a buffet restaurant tonight. Don't say you know me."
Joanna held back her smile and left a sentence: "I'll invite you to have tea tomorrow."
An Feng listened to the talks from all walks of life: the experience of becoming general manager and becoming CEO, and the dance party started, music started, and some people were invited to dance partners, and some were still chatting together. He came to the dining table, walked around with the dish plate and fork, and his stomach was full.
"Sorry." A voice came from behind. An Feng turned around. He was an Asian wearing glasses, wearing a gray suit and holding a dish in his hand.
"Stop you?" An Feng took a step back.
"No, I want to ask, are you from China?" asked the Asian boy.
"Yes, I came from the south." An Feng said in Chinese.
"I'm from the north. As I said, I think you don't look like a Korean." The other party also spoke in Chinese, speaking with a northern accent. He wiped his hands and reached towards An Feng.
An Feng shook hands with him: "Can the stick be as tall as mine?"
The other party smiled and agreed: "It's right, Bangzi does not have the temperament of yours. My name is Song Wenrui, a graduate student at UCB Institute of Technology, and he will graduate next year. Where are you?"
"Me?" An Feng laughed, "I am not an international student. I have graduated a long time ago. I am here to make up for the numbers this time."
"Oh?" Song Wenrui also smiled, "It's so strange. Generally, girls come here with boys from the Brotherhood. It's rare to see men who are not from this school."
"How do you say it?" An Feng asked him.
Song Wenrui glanced at the gradually lively crowds on the dance floor and said, "Most of them are good at studying, commonly known as ignorant people. They have poor communication skills and are not very popular."
"Not necessarily, look at the winners of life over there!" An Feng looked at the girl beside Zhuan, and felt like he was wearing cow dung with flowers.
Song Wenrui saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "Now girls are smarter and like to find a daida boyfriend as a long-term investment, because nerds can rely on excellent grades to work in large companies after graduation, with excellent salaries, stable income and bright futures. And those active, handsome boys from school teams are loved and admired by girls, except for a very small number of those with family backgrounds who can smooth sailing after graduation, others are not as good as nerds after graduation, and even less than half of them."
An Feng felt something was right, and this was called reality. He said, "What about you, you know so thoroughly, won't you introduce your partner?"
Song Wenrui smiled shyly: "I'm not here, but in another place."
"Domestic?" An Feng asked.
"No, she is Chinese and is in Southern California." Song Wenrui said proudly.
An Feng understood: "It's not far. It's better to be close, and your relationship will not be unfamiliar."
Song Wenrui glanced at him and asked, "Do you mind talking about your own work? As a person who has experienced it, please give me a reference and avoid some wrong paths."
An Feng shook his head: "I'm afraid I don't have any experience to teach you, because I am an investor, I do some business and also look for other investment opportunities."
"Then your family must be very wealthy," said Song Wenrui.
"It's a bit." An Feng smiled, "Where are you? A master's student in the School of Engineering should be a computer type, right? There are a lot of multinational companies in Silicon Valley that can be selected."
Song Wenrui smiled bitterly: "The major I studied is a bit advanced and has market prospects, but have you heard of the lukewarm graphene at present?"
Not only has he heard of it, he probably knows more than anyone in the world. An Feng said unchangedly: "I know that new materials, known as the 'silicon killer', are once the core problems of processors are solved and fully launched into the market, AMD and Intel's silicon technologies will usher in the doomsday."
Song Wenrui said: "I like the description of 'silicon killer'. However, it is estimated that graphene will be in a downturn in the next 5-10 years. Its hot spot is that it can change the market, but there are many difficulties. Its stability is insufficient, and the cost of small-area graphene has been greatly reduced, but large-area applications are still difficult..."
When the engineering man talked about this knowledge, he could not stop. What's more fatal is that An Feng has recently discovered these advanced technologies. His views and theories are impeccable, which shocked Song Wenrui as much as the devout believers who have the opportunity to meet God and ask him questions.
It's just a encounter with God.
What can graphene do? There are so many that it can't be said. The most obvious thing is to replace silicon chips, such as a home microprocessor sold on the market, whose main frequency is between 2-3GHz, and the nature of silicon limits its leapfrog development. If graphene is used, it can easily reach more than 300GHz or even 1000GHz, what does this mean? If a chip company now masters this technology, it is no less than dropping a nuclear bomb in the chip market!
Think about it again, mobile phones, tablets, PCs, notebooks... all need to use this technology, and its influence is probably no less than that of Microsoft, which was born in the past.
That's enough? The use of graphene is far more than that. What are the current technical constraints of electric vehicles? Batteries! The most famous Tesla electric vehicles are ultimately used as lithium-ion batteries like laptops. What kind of electric vehicle revolution is this?
Graphene can change all this, making it into a supercapacitor, with large capacity, long life, and shortening the charging time to less than 10 minutes. It only needs to reduce the cost, and it can replace lithium-ion batteries, and the revolution of electric vehicles has really begun. It also includes other electronic products, charging mobile phones once a week is no longer a dream.
There are other fields of military, electronic technology, etc., and graphene can bring major reforms. Some people say that playing silicon in the 20th century, and playing charcoal in the 21st century.
The two chatted a little dry. Song Wenrui drank a glass of water and said with a smile: "The future is beautiful, but if you want to realize it, the reality is too cruel."
"How long do you think it will take?" An Feng asked.
Song Wenrui thought for a while: "I dare not give the exact time for full popularization, it's too far away. But it will take as soon as five or six years to apply it formally."
"According to what you said, this research is not very clear yet."
Song Wenrui nodded: "Just like gambling, the technological breakthrough time is fast, so we can enjoy the benefits of technological explosion as soon as possible. If it is very slow, a major breakthrough will only take decades to make it out, and it will be ruined in this life. The development of technology will always sacrifice the youth of countless pioneers."
"Then do you hope to return to China or develop here after graduation?"
Although it was a bit strange to An Feng's question, Song Wenrui still said seriously: "The attention in China is not very high, and the technical environment is not good enough. You know, technology pioneers mean low wages and difficult things. If they are not valued, they may not have a chance to make a comeback, so I currently choose to stay."
"Have you found a job?"
"Not yet. The large company currently has not invested much, and the treatment of interns is very low. If I don't have enough time, I can only choose a more suitable one for the time being and take down my work visa first." Song Wenrui said, which was quite helpless, and he had only ambitions but did not show his stage.
