Chapter 473: 467 Oh God<div>
“Why did youe here instead of resting at the hotel today?” Finn Lewis asked with some puzzlement.
“I’m very interested in checking out your CPU,” Gregory Worthington responded, expressing his professional interest. His face immediately brightened up with a hint of obsession, showing that he was the kind of workaholic when immersed in his work.
“What’s so fascinating about it? You’ll have plenty of chances to see itter,” Finn remarked somewhat speechlessly.
“No matter how you look at it, this is the first sessfully constructed graphene CPU. It’ll definitely leave a significant mark on the history ofputing. What’s the name of this first CPU?” said Gregory as he marveled at the small chip.
“Gxy,” Finn uttered the two-word name.
“Theputer you’ve seen doesn’t merely represent advancement in CPUs. In a sense, it’s incorporating the principles of quantumputing, although it’s still far from bing a fully-fledged quantumputer. But, that’s what you guys are going to work on,” Finn chuckled.<div>
The phrase ‘quantumputer’ made Gregory’s eyes light up with excitement. Even though he was a physicist, quantum mechanics was also part of physics. The sessful development of a quantumputer would be unprecedented in the history of physics.
It was almost 9 o’clock. As the press conference’s host, Samuel Davis, CEO of the Heritage Systempany, took the stage, the entire venue fell silent. But the endlessly shing camera lights almost seemed to blend into a continuous light stream.
After finishing the opening introduction, Samuel Davis announced, “Now, let’s wee Mr. Finn Lewis, the chairman of the Heritage System.”
At this, Finn came onto the stage with a smile. The moment he appeared, the ceaseless shes of camera lights went into overdrive.N?v(el)B\\jnn
“Ladies and Gentlemen, wee to Heritage System Central Processor Limited. As you can tell from our name, ourpany ismitted to the research and development of CPUs for all electronic products. It is well known that silicon chips are nearing their limits, with the maximum thinnest point being 7 nanometers, and our current technology is almost reaching this limit, with a practical minimum of 16 nanometers fromb testing.”
“When we are encroaching on the limits, the exploration of a new generation of materials is inevitable for the future development ofputers. Under these circumstances, numerous scientists have discovered graphene. Graphene is a material that can be broadly applied in various fields. Its characteristics may very well presage a new industrial revolution.”
“For instance, the touch screen’s behavioural pattern is made of graphene. Most of us have watched Iron Man; remember the transparent touch tablet in that film? It’s like this.” As he spoke, Finn pulled out an approximately 5-inch clear panel from the tabletop before him.
The reporters below were quick to adjust their camera lenses towards Finn’s hand. Even though they weren’t sure what it was, considering what Finn had just mentioned, the object could very likely be a fully operational touch screen made entirely of graphene.
“So, what do you think this is?” Finn asked with a smile.
“Many of you may still not fully understand Company A’s strategy, such as why thepany that was known forunching a new product every year, has switched to a biennialunch cycle…” Finn suddenly changed the topic.
The reporters were stunned, unsure why Finn suddenly mentioned Company A. Could it be…? Before they could react, they heard Finn say, “Some of you might be wondering how I started my first fund. I’m more than happy to tell you, though most people don’t know this, I am thergest individual shareholder in Company A, owning 4.8% of thepany stakes.”
Upon hearing this, a whirlwind of surprise swept through the crowd of reporters. Many couldn’t believe that Finn had shares in Company A! What was his worth? The 4.8% stake he held in Company A, though seemingly small, was worth more than 30 billion Federal coins!<div>
“Sure, but that’s not the point. The main point is, most people don’t know why Company A has changed its strategy. It’s because I have exchanged a piece of tech for its stocks. As for what that tech is, I believe many of you are curious. However, as it’s ssified information, I cannot disclose it. So, what is this object?”
Finn lifted up the object again. On the outside, it looked like a transparent stic board, about 3-4 millimeters thick and around 5 inches in size, and on one side, it had a metallic band about 1.5 centimeters wide, which was attached seamlessly to the transparent touch screen.
Then, right in front of everyone, Finn pressed one of the buttons on the metallic band, and the previously sea-blue transparent stic board instantly lit up.
Everyone gasped in amazement, because as soon as the screen lit up, a logo appeared on it: a rotating gxy. It seemed to be the brand logo for Heritage System’s product. Most importantly, the logo was fleeting, quickly followed by a familiar page.
Anyone who has used a smartphone would find this page incredibly familiar – it was typical of most smartphone interfaces, be it Android or iOS.
Finn quickly opened up a few apps, whether it was the messaging app or the phone contacts, indicating that this was a fully functional smartphone. “Of course, if you sometimes find it cumbersome to keep it in your pocket…” Finn said while effortlessly folding the screen in half right in the middle.
“My God!”
“Lord!” The reporters gasped in astonishment. Multiple camera shes lit the room as everyone realized that even when folded, the screen remained lit, and the disy automatically reduced and adjusted to the folded screen size.
“It’s more flexible than I expected, and with such flexibility, it won’t break upon idental falls. Moreover, it’s easier to waterproof this phone. Let’s not demonstrate this now, but this is just a small gadget we’ve made with graphene. It’s not our primary item for today’s presentation.” Finn cheerfully straightened out the screen to show that it was still on, the disy reverting to its usualyout before casually tossing it onto the nearby table.
