Today, the "amplification lamp" of the technology report brand under Fruit Shell was upgraded and the "Fruit Shell Hard Technology" was officially launched. The new brand will step up its focus on the tech economy, track developments in the hard tech venture capital space, and provide in-depth analysis.
In 1975, Intel's founder, Gordon Moore, presented a paper to the IEEE Conference titled Progress in Digital Integrated Electronics. After evaluating the progress of semiconductor technology, he believes that the production of chips of the same specification under the same area of wafers can double the output of chips every two years with the advancement of process technology, that is, the cost can be reduced by half.

This is the famous Moore's Law. In the past 50 years, the pace of the information revolution has always followed his original simple speculation that war, plague, and famine have not stopped dominating the information revolution, and they have lasted incredibly long.
In recent years, Moore himself has had some doubts that the law will last for a few more years. In 2015, the 86-year-old Gordon Moore said in an interview that he could only predict that Moore's Law would remain valid for the next 5 to 10 years. As the cost of advanced process research and development gradually increases and the physical limits of chips approach, he also believes that this law named after himself may be about to fail.
The 10 years of 2015 are just around the corner, but not many people are seriously discussing this issue. After all, no matter how long Moore's Law can continue, it is still a glance to the end.
Another booming technology has been given high hopes. In October 2019, Google announced that its Sycamore qubit computer took only 3 minutes and 20 seconds to complete the computing task of the world's most powerful supercomputer Summit, which took 10,000 years. In 2021, China's quantum computers "Jiuzhang-2" and "Zuchong-2" have also come out one after another, claiming that the computing speed can exceed 10 billion times that of Sycamore.
Pan Jianwei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that he hopes to achieve quantum error correction through 4 to 5 years of efforts to improve accuracy, then quantum computers can be used to explore some scientific problems with major application value.
At that time, it must have been a whole new "hello world".[3]
Not only in the field of information technology, but also in recent years, many cutting-edge technology fields have achieved milestone breakthroughs and gradually matured:
CRISPR/Cas9 edited T cells entered the clinical stage for advanced cancer treatment, and their feasibility and safety were preliminarily verified.
The "AlphaFold2" artificial intelligence model launched by Silicon Valley DeepMind in the CASP competition, the prediction accuracy of protein structure reaches the level of observation and prediction of complex instruments such as cryo-electron microscopy, bringing great imagination to new drug research and development;
The world's first thorium-based molten salt nuclear power plant landed in Wuwei, Gansu Province, and the new nuclear power plant has the advantages of high safety factor, no large water consumption and high storage capacity;
Space X completed the 100th total rocket recovery, a single rocket achieved 11 recoveries, and the low-cost space program was verified to be feasible;
......
Each of the above scientific and technological progress has the potential to change the world process and lead the fundamental changes in society, they have a long-term support role for the industry, and require long-term research and development investment, continuous accumulation of core technologies, we call it "hard technology".
Hello, hard tech.
At the end of 2019, Guo Hu officially formed the "amplification lamp" team, and in the publication we wrote that the "model economy" bubble is dissipating, and the era of "technology economy" is coming. With "Zoom Lights," you can discover cutting-edge tech companies and people, focus on the rhetoric of key figures with controversies and flashpoints, and witness the development of growing hard tech companies.
Magnifier Lamp has kept to its promise at the time of publication, and as long as it is a cutting-edge hard technology that may drive business change, we want to crush it and tell it to you. Up to now, we have hundreds of original content around cutting-edge industrial technologies such as new energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, aerospace, and carbon neutrality.
At the beginning of the team, everyone was always a little worried about how many people could really pay attention to cutting-edge technology content, after all, cutting-edge technology is not as easy to touch as new consumption or the Internet economy, and most people do not need to visit nuclear power plants or edit a gene in their lifetime.
Things are moving better than expected, and more than 100,000 people are now following us. The numbers don't sound amazing, but the thought of this group of people with a keen sense of technology will still make us feel fighting spirit and more determined about the road.
Here, let's start by saying thank you.
In the two years of mutual companionship, I believe that everyone has also observed that the environment is changing at a faster rate:
A number of technology stocks such as the Ningde era are growing at a high speed, and even exceeding the trillion market value;
The second revision of the Science and Technology Progress Law was completed and officially implemented at the beginning of the year;
Advanced manufacturing represented by TSMC has become the world's top 500 with the highest profit margin;
First-tier venture capital funds have announced their large-scale entry into the field of hard technology;
The Beijing Stock Exchange officially opened its board, and the total market value of the science and technology innovation board exceeded 6 trillion yuan;
All the changes that have taken place and are about to come have repeatedly proved that a strong consensus is condensing, proving that the path we chose in the first place is not wrong. Hard technology is having a surging impact on industry and business, and we intend to continue to make changes in order to better fulfill our mission.
As you can see, this two-year companion, a little cute "amplification lamp" upgraded to "fruit shell hard technology", officially returned to the main brand of fruit shell.
The main focus of fruit shell hard technology
Founded in 12 years, Guohu has produced a large number of interesting popular science content, cooperated with more than 5,000 scientists, and the number of scientists in the database exceeded 60,000. In the future, in addition to doing a good job in popular science content, fruit shell will have a deeper link with the scientific community to help scientific and technological achievements be more efficiently transformed into the industry.
We've done new content experiments, opening up two columns, "1,000 Startups" and "1,000 Scientists", to introduce entrepreneurs from cutting-edge technologies and scientists who are changing the world.
We have planned a series of offline closed-door science and technology theme exchange meetings to effectively promote the understanding and information exchange between industry, capital and scientific research in the form of face-to-face communication.
There are other ideas that are taking shape, and we will tell you slowly.
In 1785 Watt's improvement of steam engine technology opened the prelude to the Industrial Revolution, and it was not until around 1840 that British machine production truly replaced handicraft workshops, and the Industrial Revolution basically ended, lasting for at least 65 years. The subsequent secondary industrial revolution and information technology revolution are also the same, all of which have been turbulent for decades.
Therefore, no matter how rapidly technology is changing at this moment, all we can see is a touch of fish belly white in the East.
We know that the development of hard technology will not be smooth, in today's world is divided and colliding pattern, technology may encounter barriers, the market may be impetuous, valuation may bubble. But if we can look farther into the future, we still believe that this is a lasting progress.
Finally put an invitation, whether you are a scientist, entrepreneur or venture capitalist, as long as you are willing to join this technology feast, welcome to add the following enterprise WeChat, long-term effective.
In addition, we are still looking for researchers/editors, welcome to join us!
