A gray-haired man with blond hair stared at the screen, momentarily lost in thought.
After a long pause, he cleared his throat and looked at the assistant beside him, pointing at the screen with his pen. "Is there any way to deal with him?"
If the problem cannot be solved, then eliminate the source of the problem. This was a tactic the blond man had recently learned!
"It's difficult," the Special Assistant shook his head. "The Eastern nation has very tight security measures; breaking through their defenses is extremely challenging."
"Even if it's difficult, we have to try."
The blond man's gaze was somewhat inscrutable. "We can't just do nothing."
He had a vague intuition that if they didn't eliminate Ji Yuan soon, it would bring significant trouble to America in the future.
In just over a year, things had changed dramatically. First, the Patriot Phone's capabilities were astonishing, then the emergence of the Patriot One Smartphone robot, and now this breakthrough in Chip Engineering...
To some extent, this young man had already crossed a line defined by the blond man and committed a taboo!
"Alright, I'll make arrangements!" The Special Assistant nodded seriously.
He was preparing to have the FBI take the lead in planning and executing this operation, aiming for a decisive strike.
Once the assistant left, the bright white room fell completely silent.
Only an old man with blonde hair was examining the map. The place he was focusing on was the first island chain that America had established for decades to block the maritime forces of the East.
For a vast region with a large population and abundant resources, America's vigilance and suppression have never relaxed. It was once thought to be hidden in the shadows, but now it has been laid bare, with the word "suppression" written openly on its face. Aside from the different methods employed, there is no essential difference.
The game of power between great nations cannot be resolved overnight. Whether it is the East Wind overpowering the West Wind or the West Wind overpowering the East Wind, it is a process where power gradually approaches balance and then undergoes reversal.
To expect a quick resolution or a single battle to determine the world is unrealistic since the times of eternal peace.
The production of the Tian Gong One 7nm chip has begun to yield results, and small-scale commercial testing has started. According to the first batch of experimental reports, the domestically produced 7nm chip's highest frequency is on par with the 19 series, with lower durability but higher compatibility. More importantly, its cost is less than one-third of that of an i9 chip.
Moreover, as production gradually expands and an industrial cluster effect forms, there may be significant room for further cost reductions.
"Not bad." Ji Yuan was overjoyed when he received the first-hand experimental report.
The lifespan of the chip is indeed shorter than that of the 19, but the lifespan of modern commercial electronic devices is generally not high. Due to factors like rapid updates and replacements, the market is quite tolerant regarding chip durability. For instance, a chip in a smartphone can typically function well for three to five years, which is already impressive. Consumers generally do not expect a smartphone to work for thirty to fifty years.
In five years, the performance of smartphones has already been upgraded several times. Instead of using an old model and nitpicking its flaws, it is better to pursue newer models with more powerful features. The durability of the Tian Gong One chip is indeed lacking, but its high compatibility makes up for it!
Of course, in Ji Yuan's view, the most prominent advantage is actually cost; this is a technological revolution! Once Tian Gong One is launched in the international market, it will surely capture a significant portion of the market share from today's top international chip manufacturers.
Businesspeople seek profit; no one would willingly go against money.
When the Research Group released the new test data, ordinary netizens began to debate and argue, comparing Tian Gong One with the 19 in various ways. Meanwhile, numerous heads of state-owned enterprises traveled across the ocean to find Revitalization, Huawei, and Ark—three high-tech companies responsible for chip autonomy—preparing to spend heavily on procurement.
However, they were all turned away. Each company, in accordance with national requirements, prioritized supply for domestic use and temporarily had no other export plans, resulting in rejection. All factions returned empty-handed. The entire world suffers from the chip stranglehold imposed by America, but it is not just the Eastern powers that are affected. Now that there are other options available, even under repeated pressure from America, they are willing to take great risks and secretly engage with the Eastern powers. It echoes the saying that true high technology is not afraid of being blocked or sanctioned by any country; it absolutely cannot take the life of a technology company!
Three days later, America suddenly announced a reduction in the size of its Pacific fleet. Despite repeated explanations citing budget considerations and the temporary suspension of missile interception system installation plans on the Eastern continent, many people began to speculate. Many keenly noticed the correlation within this situation. "In this game, it seems that the Eastern powers have gained the upper hand!" After clarifying the intricacies involved, many could not help but gasp in shock, arriving at a conclusion that sent chills down their spines.
