Chapter 546 The Prism Gate explodes!
"You're right, it's good to use Qualcomm's chips, there's no problem. Wang Yi insists on making everything local!"
"It's just localization of chips and systems. The technical difficulty is limited and the investment is limited."
"But the photolithography machine is too difficult. It needs to be domestically produced. Hundreds of billions of investments have been made. It will be obsolete as soon as it is released. It is really a foolish dream."
"Wang Yi keeps saying it's for the overall situation, but in fact it's for Xingyi Semiconductor and themselves!"
"That's right, it won't be a big problem even if the lithography machines are not domestically produced. There is no need to spend hundreds of billions. Now there are more places to spend money!"
"In my opinion, you don't have to produce your own chips, you can just buy Qualcomm chips directly...Wang Yi wants to localize everything, all for the sake of Xingyi Technology."
"Wang Yi is a businessman disguised as patriotism. Pursuing profit is his essence, without caring about the overall situation."
"In fact, there is not much difference between localizing chips and using Qualcomm chips. We must oppose burning money to develop lithography machines."
"That's right, let's submit a letter together to protest!"
"Let's go to the Ministry of Science and Technology, find Mr. Zhao, and protest together!"
"Walk!"
"Don't worry, you can't be impulsive about this."
"What do you mean? Sun Haisheng, are you scared? Have you lost your backbone?"
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not that I'm a coward. I mean, if so many of us go to the Ministry of Science and Technology, what's the point? Are we making trouble?"
"It is better to elect a few representatives, others sign a joint letter, sign and seal it, and then several representatives come forward and go to Mr. Zhao with the joint letter."
"Yes, it was Sun Haisheng who thought carefully and just did it like this. It really won't work if there are too many people, and the impact will be bad."
"Then I'll start writing a joint letter and everyone will sign it in a while!"
"Okay, pay attention to your words, condemn Xingyi Technology more, condemn Wang Yi more, and expose their dirty behavior of seeking personal gain under the guise of patriotism!"
"Don't worry, you know my writing style well!"
"Haha, if you take action, Old Sun, we can all rest assured. I suggest that Old Sun be a representative, and we can elect three more people to make up four representatives."
"Okay, four people, no more, no less, just right, let's vote!"
"Okay, Lao Sun, you write, let's choose representatives first!"
Afterwards, everyone in the room went their separate ways.
Xingyi Technology Headquarters.
Jian Ziyan approached Wang Yi: "Chairman, we have received news that some experts have joined forces and are condemning us. They believe that photolithography machines are projects with high input and low output, and the output will be outdated. There is no need to burn hundreds of billions of domestic products."
They also believe that there is no need to localize even chips, Qualcomm’s can still be used, saying that we are all for our own benefit... and they want to unite to condemn us and protest..."
"Short-sighted!" Wang Yi sighed.
In this Science and Technology War speech, Wang Yi did not touch on other aspects too much because of funding issues.
The village is not extremely rich, and money is burned in all aspects.
The three armed forces, especially the navy and air force, have to spend money on research and development.
The same is true in other fields.
Whether we can squeeze out hundreds of billions to develop photolithography machines is a question.
If Wang Yi mentions other projects, won’t the update be finished?
Therefore, in this Science and Technology War speech, Wang Yi only talked about semiconductors and lithography machines.
Nothing else is required, as long as the photolithography machine attracts enough attention and can make breakthroughs, that is enough.
If you talk too much and spend money everywhere, it will be impossible to do.
It covers everything, but it doesn’t cover everything.
If you mention it too much, you will have to spend money on research and development everywhere, and then you may not even be able to build a photolithography machine.
As for the Air M incident, Wang Yi originally wanted to talk about it.
But now the situation has changed.
With the rapid rise of Xingyi Semiconductor, far surpassing HiSilicon Semiconductor, the target of the opponent's blaster has completely changed.
Therefore, if something unexpected happens again, it will not be the chip experts from the friendly companies, but the experts from Xingyi Semiconductor.
Fortunately, Wang Yi took some measures and had already strictly ordered all core experts and senior officials not to go abroad.
Especially in the semiconductor field.
Therefore, Wang Yi did not mention this incident.
Now the other party can no longer take care of Haisi.
After all kinds of considerations, Wang Yi could only focus on it, concentrate his energy, and propose the development of domestic photolithography machines.
As long as you spend money to develop domestic photolithography machines, everything else is easy to say and you can take your time.
If everything is proposed, money will be burned in every aspect, and there will be opposition. In the end, nothing will be accomplished and nothing will be pushed forward.
The result is really like this.
Just the development of a photolithography machine has aroused opposition from so many experts, and they even quickly condemned and protested...
"What a short-sighted person!" Wang Yi sighed:
"I want to localize chips, localize lithography machines, and achieve self-research and production of high-end chips, all for Xingyi Technology?"
"Stop making trouble, it's not for the sake of the entire Xia Kingdom!"
"These old men are not doing their job!"
Jian Ziyan couldn't help laughing: "Chairman, don't be angry, but Mr. Zhao has clearly stated that he will develop a photolithography machine. I guess they are just making a fuss and will not really restrict us."
"I hope so." Wang Yi sighed.
The most fearful thing about everything is a lack of heart.
Wang Yi does not ask those veterans to contribute to the semiconductor industry, as long as they do not hold them back, it is considered a good thing.
This technology war speech only mentioned semiconductors, just to get everyone to work together to develop lithography machines.
But now it seems that it is difficult to say.
However, at this moment, Zhu Changlin rushed in angrily: "Chairman, something big has happened!"
"What's the big deal?"
"The Prism Gate broke out...it turns out that Lao Mi has been monitoring the whole world..."
Zhu Changlin's expression was a little complicated, he was shocked, but also a little excited!
"Look!"
Zhu Changlin handed the phone to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi took a quick look and saw that the well seemed calm on the surface, but he was extremely excited in his heart.
'Fuck, the Prism Gate finally broke out!'
[The Guardian: Since 2007, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the FBI have launched a secret surveillance program code-named "Prism". By directly accessing the server data of Internet giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Apple, users and political figures from various countries have been monitored.
Monitor phone calls, emails, videos, instant messages, photos, stored data, voice chats, file transfers, video conferencing, login times and social network profile details...]
Jian Ziyan also came over, full of disbelief:
"The Prism Project monitors global users and political figures from various countries... is it true or false? It's so crazy! Is it the media in the country that is trying to smear Lao Mi?"
"Of course it's true. Not only did the Guardian report this, but even the Washington Post reported it! That's Lao Mi's own top media!"
Zhu Changlin said and handed over another mobile phone:
[Washington Post: Steve Deng, a contract contractor for the US Security Agency, exposed the Prism program. Politicians from various countries, global business elites, and billions of netizens were all monitored by Prism. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, PalTalk,
Internet giants such as YouTube, Skype, and AOL are all involved. It turns out that we are all running naked on the Internet!]
"That seems to be true. I didn't expect that these nine giants are all dogs, and they all participated in the Prism Project. It's terrible, it's terrible!"
Jian Ziyan was filled with emotions.
Wang Yi said calmly: "It is said that technology has no borders, but technology companies have borders. These giants have backdoors in their servers, and their software and equipment also have backdoors."
"However, once the Prism Gate comes out, it will be a tragedy for them, but it will be a good thing for us. This is an opportunity for the decline of the nine international giants, and it is also an opportunity for us to rise!"
Jian Ziyan suddenly realized: "Yes, their software and equipment have backdoors, but our chat has no backdoors, so we can take the opportunity to promote it."
"There are also Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and XOS systems. We can take the opportunity to promote them!" Wang Yixiao said.
"Good idea, then I will vigorously publicize the Prism Gate incident!" Jian Ziyan said with a smile.
"Go! Now the Prism scandal has just broken out abroad, and there is not much news in the country, so we need publicity." Wang Yi said.
Jian Ziyan took action immediately, and the Douyin and Changchao public accounts began to operate like crazy.
Therefore, while other domestic media had not yet exerted their influence, Prism scandal has spread all over the Internet on Douyin and Changchao.
Even the Meiyou forum has become popular all over the Internet.
[Shocked! Through the Prism Project, Midea monitors global political and business leaders and billions of users. 】
[Scary! Internet giants such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft all have backdoors, and user privacy is under surveillance.]
[Prism Gate broke out. Android systems and Qualcomm chips have secret doors and can be monitored by Midea at any time. It turns out that we are all running naked on the Internet. 】
One stone stirs up thousands of waves.
In an instant, the entire network was in shock, and the comment section exploded:
"Holy crap! Prism door, monitor everything! It's scary, it's too scary!"
"Even foreign leaders are being monitored, let alone ordinary people like us? There is no privacy at all."
"What about protecting user privacy and security? Is this how these Internet giants protect it?"
"Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Facebook are all, horribly, the world's largest Internet giants, all involved. It's really disappointing, so disappointing."
"Fortunately, I am a good citizen. I only use domestic software and never use Facebook. Twitter's messy software should not be monitored."
"Aren't you being monitored? Are you kidding me? Are you using Facebook or Twitter? Are you using an Android phone? Are you using an Apple phone? Are you using a Windows system? There are backdoors in all of these!"
"Damn it, it's real or fake. Don't scare me!"
"Of course it's true. Since Apple and Google are involved, both iOS and Android systems are not safe. They have secret doors and are being monitored."
"That's for sure. Otherwise, how could the NSA know everything about Leader Sid's call? It must be system monitoring."
"It's too shady. It keeps saying that users' interests come first, but in the end it tries to trick users everywhere. There is no bottom line."
"I'm fine. I'm using the xphone 2pro.
"I also have a Xingyi mobile phone, so I'm not afraid of monitoring. I just use Changchao as a social software, and don't use that mess."
"Hey, don't tell me, Xingyi mobile phone + XOS system + chat is indeed the safest way to fully protect privacy."
"Yes, unless the NSA can invade Xingyi Technology's servers, it will not be able to monitor it, but this is unrealistic. Xingyi Technology's servers are all its own."
"I asked why the Xingyi mobile phone does not use Qualcomm processor and Android system. Is this because I am worried about a secret door or because Director Wang has foresight?"
"Made, the iPhone 5 doesn't work anymore, so I'll place an order for the xphone 2pro."
"I have to replace my Samsung flagship. It's not safe. The xphone 2pro is more reliable!"
"Xingyi mobile phone, domestic system, domestic chips, domestic servers, absolutely safe and reliable."
"It's not easy. Fortunately, we have Xingyi Technology. Otherwise, we would also be monitored and would have to run naked on the Internet. Foreigners are really miserable, hahaha!"
"That's right, who hasn't clicked on privacy yet? From now on, they will use Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, Changchat, and Douyin. I really don't want to be monitored."
"It is said that many Waiguoren are angry and are demonstrating and condemning it!"
"Haha, let's see how they clear their name this time."
the other side.
The four of them, Sun Haisheng and others, came to a confidential place with a joint letter and met Mr. Zhao.
"Come, sit down and drink tea." Zhao Lao said with a smile, but he couldn't figure out the purpose of the four people coming to the door.
After some pleasantries, Sun Haisheng got straight to the point: "Mr. Zhao, we have only one purpose here, which is to oppose spending money to develop lithography machines!"
"Yes, it's not just us who oppose it. On the contrary, there are many experts and even academicians who think the same as us."
"What's the reason?" Mr. Zhao frowned, unable to see through the behavior of these people.
"The reason is simple. The research and development of lithography machines is very expensive. Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent to develop high-end DUV lithography machines, and it is very time-consuming. But ASML has already entered the EUV era. To put it bluntly, we have not developed it yet.
It’s outdated and completely meaningless.”
"Besides, there is no difference between domestic chips and Qualcomm or Nvidia chips. There is no need to spend huge sums of money to develop outdated DUV lithography machines for the sake of localization. Now that Xia Guo is developing, there are more places where money is needed."
Seeing the serious and righteous expressions of these people speaking to Ling Ran, Mr. Zhao frowned:
"Aren't the four of you online?"
"Don't know what happened?"
"???"
The four people were collectively confused: "What do you mean?"
"It seems that you are really not online and don't understand what just happened!" Mr. Zhao sighed: "Turn on your phone and look online."
The four of them looked confused. They got together and were busy researching how to jointly condemn Wang Yi and stop spending money to develop lithography machines. They really didn't bother to go online.
They immediately turned on their mobile phones to check the latest messages.
But then his complexion changed drastically, and he broke into a cold sweat:
"Project Prism! Directly monitor and steal all information by accessing the servers of major network giants!"
"Even Sid and the leader of Gaul have been monitored for a long time..."
"From top leaders and business giants to ordinary people, they are all being monitored and running around naked on the Internet..."
"The Prism Project started in 2007 and has been in operation for 6 years..."
"This...this..."
The four of them, Sun Haisheng, looked at me and I looked at you, they all looked confused.
Shocked, so shocked!
The four of them felt that their outlook on life had collapsed, and it was completely unbelievable.
"how so?"
"Have they not always claimed that personal privacy is sacred and inviolable? How could they..."
Sun Haisheng murmured, his expression extremely complicated.
Mr. Zhao sighed: "Old Sun, you have strong academic ability, but...you have an innocent heart!"
Sun Haisheng's face turned dark instantly: "..."
With a pure heart, speaking of a young man is a compliment.
It would be ironic to say that he is an old man in his fifties.
Innocent!
As innocent as a child!
Mr. Zhao slowly spoke: "Actually, they have been conducting various operations around the world to monitor heads of state. However, in the past, the form was relatively simple and required the placement of spies and theft of intelligence."
"But with the development of technology and the popularization of the Internet, they have upgraded to directly monitor and steal intelligence through mobile phones, computers, calls, text messages, social software, videos, etc."
"This is more convenient, simpler, more accurate and safer."
"If the insiders hadn't risked their lives to expose this time, who would have thought that they had been monitoring for seven years?"
Sun Haisheng suddenly realized: "So that's the case. Doesn't it mean that all foreign software may be monitored?"
Mr. Zhao nodded: "That's for sure. Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. are all on the list. Their servers and the NSA can directly intervene and monitor."
"It seems that all core communications in the future must use domestic software." Sun Haisheng's face became very ugly.
Mr. Zhao waved his hand: "It's useless if the social software is made in China. The system must also be made in China. Google and Apple servers are also connected to the NSA. Do you think the Android system has no backdoor? The ISO system has no backdoor?"
"I see, no wonder Obama has been using Blackberry phones before. He was worried about being monitored by using Android and Apple phones!"
"Yes, that's it." Mr. Zhao nodded: "And not only the system has secret doors, but the mobile phone chip can also leave secret doors, and it is the most concealed one."
"The simplest one is that Qualcomm and Nvidia chips have hidden doors that neither users nor regulatory authorities can find out."
"Even if Qualcomm and Nvidia don't admit it, it will be difficult to grasp the situation."
"But they will definitely stay!"
Sun Haisheng nodded: "Yes, needless to say, Apple, the servers are all connected to the NSA, and it is inevitable that the chips have secret doors. Since Apple, Google, Microsoft and other giants have become accomplices, joining the Prism Project and helping to monitor, then Qualcomm
, NVIDIA, as a giant in the United States, it is difficult not to join!”
"That's what I mean!" Mr. Zhao nodded and changed the subject: "Now do you still think there is no difference between using domestic chips and using Qualcomm or Nvidia chips?"
"I..." Sun Haisheng and the four others were collectively speechless.
Mr. Zhao continued: "Now do you still think it is unnecessary to spend hundreds of billions to develop outdated lithography machines?"
The four of them continued to remain silent: "..."
Sun Haisheng sighed: "Mr. Zhao, it's because we are too small and short-sighted. Director Wang is far-sighted!"
The other three people also spoke one after another:
"Yes, this incident has been heavily monitored abroad. However, we have domestically produced Xingyi mobile phones, domestically produced XOS systems, domestically produced Kunpeng chips, domestically produced Wing Loong basebands, all made in China, and it is difficult for the other party to monitor them.
ah!"
"Dr. Wang is far-sighted. Before the Prism Gate broke out, he fully deployed domestic production. He really has an overall view and foresight. The few of us still want to oppose it. It is really a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's belly."
"Yeah, I thought Director Wang was just a businessman. He made lithography machines and chips all for Xingyi Technology and themselves. It turns out that Director Wang is an entrepreneur with a big picture and a pattern. It's all for us.
Strategic security, for the privacy and security of all users!”
Sun Haisheng also wanted to understand everything: "Now that I think about it, everything is correct. As Director Wang said, Xingyi Technology has achieved self-research and production of chips, and the other party will launch a technological war to block Xingyi Technology, just to strangle Xingyi Technology
Xingyi Technology! Let us continue to use their chips, use their systems, and even buy their mobile phones, so that we can monitor us more easily! What a wolfish ambition!"
"In this way, domestic chips must continue to advance, and lithography machines must also be developed, no matter the cost!"
"We made a mistake. I have to apologize to Director Wang another day!"
"Yes, fortunately we have Director Wang and Xingyi Technology, otherwise we would all be just lambs being monitored."
Mr. Zhao smiled: "It's good if you can figure it out. To be honest, after Director Wang's technology war speech, not only you, but also many people held objections to spending money to develop outdated DUV lithography machines."
"But now, when the Prism Gate breaks out, everyone has seen Lao Mi's face clearly, and everyone knows the importance of domestic chips. To ensure the safety of domestic chips, we must ensure the safety of the domestic chip industry chain, and we must break through the lithography machine
."
"Even if DUV lithography machines are domestically produced in five or six years and are already outdated, they will still be our own lithography machines."
"As long as it's your own technology, no matter how backward it is, it's still a big improvement."
"No matter how advanced and powerful foreign technology is, it belongs to others and can be blocked at any time, cut off the supply, or leave a secret door to monitor."
"Only our own can ensure the safety of the industrial chain and ensure strategic security!"
"This is what Xingyi Technology does, and this is what we will strive for next!"
"I've learned a lesson, it's because our situation is too small."
Sun Haisheng and the others left the Ministry of Science and Technology with complicated expressions.
As soon as he went out, he tore the joint letter in his pocket to pieces.
Sun Haisheng even said: "I owe Director Wang an apology."
Several other people also nodded: "Yes, if Director Wang is just a businessman, there is no need to risk being blasted and fight with foreign giants. He can just make money comfortably."
"We have all misunderstood Mr. Wang."
"We all owe Director Wang an apology!"
"Among other things, Apple phones and Android phones cannot be used."
"Yes, we are all considered figures, and the research and development we are engaged in are also very important. We might also be monitored."
"It's very possible. Let's go to Xingyi flagship store and change the phone!"
"Okay, there are also tablets, all replaced by Xingyi Technology."
As they talked, they went straight to the nearest Xingyi flagship store.
But when I arrived at the door, I was stunned. I saw a long queue already waiting in front of the Xingyi flagship store!
"So many people?" Sun Haisheng was confused when he saw that the queue had reached the entrance of the Apple store in the distance. He then looked at the crowded Apple flagship store and was even more confused: "The sales of Xingyi mobile phones are so good?"
Another person said: "Xingyi mobile phones have always been selling very well. Now that Prism is out, it will definitely sell out."
"That's for sure. No one wants to be monitored. I guess those Apple users and Android users have started to switch to Xingyi phones."
"That's right, those who have the ability can directly buy xphone 2 or xphone 2pro, and those who have limited ability can choose xphone 1 or xphone 1pro. Not to mention the 999 unbounded mobile phone, which can not be eavesdropped and ensures privacy and security! They all want to change."
Chapter completed!
