Chapter 161

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think this is a compromise. The Federation will never compromise with any country, let alone any company.

China's photovoltaic technology can help us do this better, which will significantly increase the proportion of clean energy and reduce carbon emissions.

This is the sacrifice that the Federation has made in order to take the lead in the face of the global climate crisis. We need to unite the forces that the world can unite to make our planet a better place.”

At the White House press conference, it was obvious that Fox tried every means to make things difficult for Jeffrey. He anticipated that he would be made difficult, so he did not let the White House spokesperson take the stage, but did it himself.

The righteous look gives people the feeling that America is the leader of the world.

The media on the side of the Donald Trump Party will obviously promote this as great. Needless to say, even when facing its biggest competitor, the federal government can still put aside competition for a greater goal.

Even the media that stand on the side of the Elephant Party will only criticize the government's fickleness in their propaganda, rather than attacking the federation itself, believing that this is a responsible behavior.

Unlike China, American media will unconditionally stand with the motherland on major issues regardless of their party preferences.

The impact of this matter is to focus as much as possible on the climate crisis and carbon emissions.

But other countries obviously won't give such face.

From a government perspective, the two brothers, Germany and France, are at odds with America, but from a media perspective, it is clear that the English media are far less respectful to America than the French and German media.

The Times’ headline still had some respectability: “Compromise with China sounds death knell for federal technological supremacy.”

The Sun, a second-rate tabloid, has no respect for decency at all: "America demands that other countries do not compromise, but it has no bottom line itself."

These are nothing, the more incisive one is from the BBC:

"China's technology brings America back to reality from the cloud
Since Professor von Neumann proposed the concept of technological singularity (technological singularity is a hypothetical future point in time when technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, causing unforeseen consequences for human civilization), and Vernor Vinge promoted this concept and regarded the arrival of technological singularity as when humans create intelligence more powerful than themselves, there will be a technological and social transformation, in a sense similar to a black hole, and it is believed that this will be the end of the human era.

Because the new superintelligence will continue to upgrade itself and will advance technologically at an incomprehensible pace.

After AlphaGo defeated humans in Go, the media has been promoting artificial intelligence technology, believing that the technological singularity mentioned by Professor von Neumann will become a reality in our generation. This view has become more and more popular with the arrival of ChatGPT. The American media has taken the idea that America, as the country on the top of the mountain, will be the first to approach the technological singularity as an ideological stamp and tried to engrave it into everyone's mind.

In order to prevent other countries from approaching the technological singularity before them, they have adopted unprecedentedly harsh measures against their most likely competitor, China.

The endless stream of artificial intelligence applications makes people naturally believe in this technological singularity. In fact, no matter how intense the publicity is, it does not change one reality, that is, artificial intelligence technology has no substantial impact on reality.

The employment rate in America has not decreased due to the advancement of artificial intelligence, nor has the efficiency of scientific research increased. The emergence of SORA has not restored the former appeal of Hollywood movies. Artificial intelligence technology does not seem to help Facebook and Google defeat ByteDance. If it could, the White House would not need to take administrative measures against ByteDance.

The media’s optimistic assessment of AI is like the propaganda that America is a country on the top of a mountain, overlooking the world from the clouds.

In contrast, China has unprecedentedly become the world's number one automobile exporter. Its photovoltaic industry is unrivaled with the support of new technologies. Photovoltaic power stations all over the world choose Chinese technology and Chinese manufacturers. Wright Chen's room-temperature superconducting materials have made America panic. The Department of Energy's $1 billion special research and development investment has not alleviated this panic. The White House's announcement of the special import license not only announced that America's technology was invalid, but also dealt a heavy blow to America in the cloud, which was pulled back to Earth by China. "

The energy gap is already so huge that they were originally a bit restrained and tried to use market means to solve this problem.

After America took the lead, Germany increased its investment. Originally, the photovoltaic power station project between them and France totaled only 20 billion euros, but now it alone is worth 20 billion euros.

Many countries originally wanted to make peace, especially developed countries. They are more like consumers rather than producers. How can consumers actively push producers away? In this case, how can inflation be solved?

Do we still want to live? Not to mention that the production capacity and quality of production in producing countries are getting better and better. Isn't this simply hindering our enjoyment of life?

Germany chose to negotiate directly with Chinese companies and no longer engage in market economy. Now is an era where efficiency is king. If the energy gap is not filled, everyone will suffer from the cold again this winter.

Last year was an unforgettable winter.

America took action first, and other countries followed suit. In the past two years, domestic photovoltaic companies have suddenly revived as if they had taken an aphrodisiac.

Originally, everyone said that photovoltaic companies are cyclical companies and are now in a downward cycle. They will not re-enter the upward cycle until a large number of them go bankrupt and production capacity is reduced.

Who would have thought that the new technology would directly change the seasons, and now China’s photovoltaic companies are even more popular than during the most popular period.

After all, the money earned is foreign exchange, and the money from Europe and the United States is given most readily.

The entire photovoltaic sector has seen sharp increases and has once again become a hot commodity in the securities market.

Of course, it also depends on what kind of photovoltaic industry it is. Photovoltaic companies with perovskite battery production capacity are the most popular. Companies that do not have perovskite production capacity and say they are building it can only follow behind and eat soup.

But it’s better to have soup than not.

After seeing the news, Chen Yuanguang had no objection to the export of products. China's advantage is its production capacity. If the producing countries do not play along with the consuming countries, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Chen Yuanguang did not object to cooperating with America, or rather, it would be useless if he objected.

China's photovoltaic industry has entered America, a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Even if he is the inventor of the technology, it is impossible for him to make this interest group give in.

He needs to offend all interest groups for his ideas, which is not something a rational adult would do.

But there is no problem in giving them some eye drops, and at the same time prove their own vision to the world. "We need to donate a batch of materials to the troubled areas, and I think the portable power generation facilities based on perovskite batteries are very appropriate." Chen Yuanguang said on the phone with Lin Jia.

Lin Jia asked in confusion: "Do you mean donating some supplies to Gaza Strip?"

Chen Yuanguang said: "That's right. We donated a batch of portable power generation equipment to them on the grounds that they are facing a humanitarian disaster, and also provided drinking water purification equipment. Let's send 3,000 sets."

Lin Jia thought for a moment and said, "No problem. Through the United Nations or other charitable organizations?"

Chen Yuanguang said: "Because we are donating equipment, not cash, we have to make sure it reaches the people in need. We asked the Chinese government if there are any charitable organizations that do this kind of business."

After finishing the call with Chen Yuanguang, Lin Jia made a rough estimate. If the cost price of 3,000 sets is 5,000 RMB per set, it would only cost 15 million RMB. This is the best publicity for the Guangjia Group Enterprises, so this deal can obviously be done.

As for the protests in Europe and the United States? This is a donation to civilians, and they can't find any reason to blame it.

Lin Jia:

"We hope that people in war-torn areas can also enjoy the convenience brought by technological progress, so we donated a batch of photovoltaic power generation equipment equipped with perovskite batteries and supporting water purification equipment to the Gaza area."

"Regarding the accusation by some European and American media that this will be illegally used to charge drones, I would like to point out that they do not have many drones. Secondly, it is unknown whether these drones are gasoline-powered or electric. It is obviously unreasonable for them to make such a presumption of innocence."

"This is not a statement against America. This is a donation to the people in the war-torn areas out of humanitarian considerations."

After the news of Guangjia Aerospace's donation came out, except for a few old-school colonists who made some sour remarks, most of the voices in China were positive.

The international community is dominated by positive voices, and the few minor noises can be ignored.

Even so, Lin Jia specially asked her best friend to film an interview program to talk about this matter, in which Lin Jia publicized the strong opposition of the Western media to this matter.

This is a consideration from the perspective of public opinion and propaganda. You need to have an enemy so that your actions will be convincing enough.

If what you do is right, why don’t the West object? This is a simple view of the current Chinese public opinion field on various companies.

If you are blocked by America, it means you have great skills. If you are not blocked by America, it means you are not important enough.

If foreign countries also praise Guangjia Aerospace's donation, then this matter will not achieve sufficient publicity purpose, it will be over and will soon be covered by new hot events.

And if a large number of foreign media oppose it, there will be enough articles to write about it.

After Lin Jia became an executive at Xiaomi Auto, he became much more proficient in this area. There are too many foreign media outlets, and there are always some that jump out to nitpick China's behavior.

For example, the media will never tell you the difference between the Washington Times and the Washington Post. The former is a media outlet specifically against China, and a lot of political manipulation is prevalent on it. In fact, it does not have much influence in America. The Washington Post is the oldest newspaper in the Washington area. It was once famous for exposing the Watergate scandal and has a wide audience.

Therefore, in Li Xiyin's interview, they selected some dissenting voices from foreign media, regarded them as mainstream foreign public opinion, and asked Lin Jia to respond to them.

Self-media also need such topics to hype. For a time, the righteous actions of Guangjia Aerospace and the clownish behavior of Western media formed a sharp contrast, leaving a deep impression on the Chinese people.

Combined with America's compromise with Light Armor Aerospace, Light Armor Aerospace has established an unprecedented good image among the civilian population.

Lin Jia can easily see comments from netizens on this matter when browsing Weibo:
"Light Armor Aerospace is really good at provoking the Americans. Just one foot, they announced their complete withdrawal from the American market, and right after that, you issued a special permit. I immediately donated supplies to your opposition forces. This is both charity and a slap in the face for you."

"The White House must be furious. Guangjia Aerospace's actions are simply causing trouble for the American father."

"We still have to look to the God of Light. The God of Light understands."

Lin Jia has a deeper understanding of China's public opinion environment and public opinion manipulation methods. He also understands why traditional car companies can never compete with Xiaomi in marketing. This is a double gap in concepts and experience.

"That's right. We need to use the topological enhancement effect to enhance its photocurrent response. The specially designed electrode shape has shown a very good effect in collecting OAM-sensitive photocurrent components. We have successfully collected orbital angular momentum data for light in the mid-infrared band.

Next we need to integrate OAM, at least into the lithography process and make it part of the process.

It is impossible for us to calculate the orbital angular momentum of light one by one.

I want to use the second type Weyl semimetal to design a suitable electrode shape, and then prepare a detector prototype device by designing a suitable electrode shape in this way.

Because theoretically, our final lithography needs to utilize its second-order nonlinear response, and obtain the current response coefficient tensor under the perturbation theory framework, thereby analyzing the relationship between the response coefficient tensor and the symmetry of the crystal structure, distinguishing the OAM order of the incident light, and finally designing lithography light sources of different orders. "

Chen Yuanguang finally made good progress in Mianyang, pushing the application of lithography machines to topological semimetals a big step forward.

Because the photosensitivity of topological semimetals and the light source used for photoresists are completely different, even topological semimetals manufactured using the same process may require different light sources for etching.

This involves how you design the light source, because it is impossible to recalculate the parameters of the topological semimetal every time, and then calculate the polarization and wavelength of the light source based on the parameters. This is unrealistic and is not the traditional industrial model.

In the future, in the history of technological development, they integrated all of these into one device. However, due to the limitation that the lithography machine belonged to someone else, they could only make minor adjustments, so integration was impossible and they could only increase the process.

This requires a complete redesign, and they have been stuck here and unable to move forward.
