Chapter 830 The End of an Era
"According to our reporter, Taichu t0 chip is the world's first photonic chip. The Optical Core Research Center is responsible for chip design, and Guanghua Electric is responsible for chip manufacturing..."
"Optical core is a chip that is independently designed and manufactured in my country, which is of great significance. This shows that my country will become the first country in the world to achieve 100% complete localization of chips!"
"The chip supply dilemma will also be resolved at this moment!"
"This is our Chinese own chip!"
Qi Wu was so stunned watching the news on TV that he forgot to turn the skewers in his hands. In the end, his wife yelled and finally came to his senses.
"Husband, mutton skewers!"
"Ah, it was almost burnt."
Qi Wu hurriedly packed up the skewers and handed them to his wife when they were ready.
Huo Yan is Qi Wu's wife. She is a family-oriented, good-tempered, and kind-hearted woman. The important thing is that she does not use Weibo.
Although they have been married for a few years, they spend time together every day, and sometimes they can be noticed with just a single movement or micro-expression.
Qi Wu is in a very bad state right now.
During working hours, my eyes keep drifting to the TV. It’s so abnormal!
"Honey, what are you watching?" Huo Yan also glanced at the TV, which seemed to be a news program.
Since when did your husband like to watch the news?
"The optical core has been domestically produced and will be put into production soon!"
"This is our own chip from China. Things like cutting off supply will never happen again!"
"Guanghua University is so awesome!" Qi Wu said excitedly, his eyes shining.
As if he were a researcher of optical core, he felt extremely proud.
Huo Yan knew about optical cores. Qi Wu often talked about chips in his ears before. Although most of them couldn't understand, he understood a lot after hearing them a lot.
She widened her eyes and asked: "In the future, our country will no longer have to buy chips from the state, and we can make chips ourselves?"
"Yes, the news said that the chip manufacturing equipment is 100% domestically produced, and no foreign machines are used from beginning to end!" Qi Wu explained.
At this time, a few scattered shouts suddenly sounded outside.
"Guanghua is awesome!"
"Optical core is awesome!"
Qi Wu suddenly asked his wife Huo Yan: "Honey, can I discuss something with you?"
"What's the matter, you say?"
Qi Wu glanced at the news that was still being reported on the TV, and then plucked up the courage to say: "I'm a little happy today. I want to celebrate. How about we give away the orders for these tables in the store?"
"Just this time, okay?" Qi Wu glanced at Huo Yan again and whispered.
After all, my wife is too diligent and thrifty to run a household, and she will most likely not agree to such a thing.
I was so excited that I dared to be so bold today.
As a patriotic Chinese, what happened to Huaxing last year made all Chinese people feel angry and aggrieved.
Such a huge country was stumped by a small chip, and even its own mobile phone company could not survive.
Fortunately, after the emergence of optical cores, all situations will change.
Chips in peacetime are like nuclear weapons in wartime. They are of great significance.
Little did they know that when the news of the successful detonation of the atomic bomb came out, the streets were full of people cheering and celebrating.
He is just a self-employed person, and that's all he can do.
To Qi Wu's surprise, Huo Yan's answer was completely beyond his expectation.
"Free of charge?" Huo Yan shook her head.
Qi Wu's heart almost dropped when he heard it, until the next sentence came out again.
"How is that enough? Not only are the customers at these tables in the store free of charge, but anyone who pays with a domestic mobile phone today will get a 30% discount! If you can prove that you are from Guanghua University, you will be free of charge!"
Huo Yan raised her head proudly, "There is no distinction between men and women when it comes to patriotism. Today is indeed a great event. If you are happy, so am I!"
"Wife, you are so kind! I love you so much!" Qi Wu was extremely moved. The ancients said that you should marry a virtuous wife, and isn't this the same for his own wife?
Huo Yan pushed Qi Wu away, who was leaning towards him for a kiss, with a look of disgust on her face.
"It's so oily. Go to the store and tell the customers."
"Hey, I'm going right now!"
Qi Wu walked directly into the store without taking off his apron.
There are not many customers at this time, there are only four tables with about a dozen people. Usually there will be more people after 8 or 9 pm.
The appearance of the boss did not attract anyone's attention until the boss spoke.
"Everyone, I am the owner of our store. Today, because the optical core has been 100% domestically produced, it will be put into production soon. To celebrate, we are giving away all orders for these tables in the store! "
"Hangcao, has the localization of optical cores been successful?" A young man with short hair put down the leeks in his hand excitedly and looked at the boss, "Boss, when did it happen?"
Qi Wu chuckled and said, "Guanghua just announced it at the press conference."
"What a show of brilliance!" the short-haired young man exclaimed with great joy.
"Now Chou Country will try another trick, but it won't kill them!"
A girl at the table of the short-haired young man said: "Boss, we are also happy about this, but there is no need to waive the order."
"It's okay. I'm happy today." Qi Wu waved his hand and refused, then left the store and returned to the barbecue stall in front of the store.
Then, most of half an hour passed.
People at the four tables left one after another.
But when the last table of people left, the short-haired young man scanned the QR code on the wall, and then a group of people ran away as if they were trying to escape their orders.
Qi Wu looked at the backs of these young people leaving in a hurry, with a confused look on his face.
This is free of charge, why bother?
A few seconds later, he didn't wake up until the payment reminder sounded.
"Yuan!"
Qi Wu was a little anxious and wanted to chase after him, but he could no longer see the backs of the guests at the table.
Then, his wife, who had returned from clearing the table, handed him a piece of paper that looked like it had been torn from a notebook.
There are a few neat words written on it.
[Boss, we are also Chinese! 】
Qi Wu was stunned and didn't know why his nose was sore.
He looked at Huo Yan, who was also silent next to him, and discussed: "Honey, how about... how many more orders can we waive?"
"waived!"
…
Just when the press conference was coming to an end.
A shout suddenly sounded in the dormitory building.
"Optical core is awesome!"
"Long live China!"
This voice seemed to wake up many students on campus, and then voices sounded in the dormitory and teaching buildings.
There were even people who pulled out the national flag from who knows where, using their arms as poles, and running on the campus roads.
He also shouted:
"Optical core is awesome!"
"Long live China!"
Mr. Ren stopped and looked at the scene in front of him quietly with emotion.
China's chip research and development road is too bumpy and difficult.
Especially as representatives of domestic mobile phones, they have personally experienced this sense of oppression.
"When there is no storm or heavy rain, who can keep watch until the clouds open and the moon shines brightly?"
With that said, Mr. Ren looked at his successor Wei Han beside him, shook his head and sighed:
"Today's young people are really amazing, much better than us old men."
"The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared!"
Wei Han looked at Mr. Ren's back, slightly absent-minded.
Mr. Ren's figure is still strong, but he feels lonely for some reason.
Perhaps, this is the end of an era.

Sorry, I kept getting distracted while sitting in front of the computer today, so I had no choice but to kick out this chapter, with a wry smile.
