Rebooting 2008: Chips Become as Cheap as Cabbage

In 2024, Lin Mo, a top Chinese-American chip scientist, was ruthlessly cast aside by Silicon Valley. On the eve of his return to China, he was involved in a bizarre car accident. When he opened his eyes, he was back in 2008, the darkest era for China's chip industry.

The fallout from the Hanxin fabrication scandal had yet to subside, and the entire nation had lost faith in developing homegrown technology. Foreign giants monopolized the market, selling ordinary chips at exorbitant prices. Everyone said, “Chinese people can't make their own chips.”

Lin Mo smiled.

His mind held the complete technology road map for the next sixteen years, every key turning point in the industry's evolution, and every competitor's fatal weakness.

Since he had another chance, no one could blame him for making chips as cheap as cabbage.
