Chapter 1199


    Nicole and Ike turned back to Harvey.


    "Where did you go?"


    "I went to grab some coffee.Do you want some?"


    Harvey looked at Nicole.He was confused and thought that she was upset with him for not bringing her


    a mug.


    "No, I needed your help, but it''s done and dealt with now."


    Nicole responded and continued her discussion with Ike as they stared at the screen.


    "Miss Riddle, even the bestpanies in the market are using 5- nanometer chips, so I think we


    should give the 4-nanometer chip a shot."


    Ike looked at her with utmost seriousness.


    Nicole shot him a nce before turning her gaze back to the screen as she pondered.


    After some time, she responded, "We can try.If we seed, it''ll be a huge breakthrough."


    "Yeah."


    Ike''s eyes lit up, brimming with confidence.

    "But we''re not capable of producing a 4-nanometer chip just yet," one of the engineers interrupted the


    moment he overheard their conversation.


    "I know, but we should give it a try.That way, we can increase the performance of this chip


    exponentially."


    Nicole argued, believing that her creation was the best.


    At the very least, it had to be better than the chip disyed in the technology exhibition, and so, she


    insisted on using the 4- nanometer chip.


    The engineers fell silent after hearing Nicole''s suggestion.


    They thought that the 5 -nanometer chips were already considered to be state-of-the-art, and that to


    produce a 4-nanometer chip would be an insurmountable challenge.


    They were not ready to be the first ones to fail, and they did not know why Nicole would wish to risk it.


    Nicole spoke when she saw that everyone was objecting to her idea.


    "Quiet down, everybody.I know you''re all professionals here and you''re all having a hard time


    understanding our perspective.You''re probably thinking ''Why don''t we just use the certified 5-


    nanometer chip? Why are we venturing into the unfamiliar territory by trying to produce a 4-nanometer


    chip?'', am I right?"


    "Yeah, we don''t know why we''re taking on the 4-nanometer chip challenge.The 5-nanometer version


    already suffices, so to use a 4- nanometer chip for this purpose ispletely unnecessary," a middle-


    aged engineer contended.


    "That''s right.I think the 5-nanometer chip is much more reliable and I don''t think I''ll agree with the use


    of the 4-nanometer chips."


    Nicole looked at them and listened to their views calmly.


    Ike attempted to reason with them, but the stubborn engineers disagreed nheless.


    "I understand where you''reing from," Nicole said.


    "Actually, if you think about it logically, you''re right.Indeed, the 5- nanometer production technology is


    good enough, and theirpany is definitely going to be using the 5-nanometer technology, without a


    doubt.


    "However, what I''m trying to say is that their chip is second to ours, which is why, while the 5-


    nanometer chip is good enough for them, our chip needs to be better than theirs.The 5- nanometer


    technology won''t be able to showcase the chip''s full potential, and that''s why Ike and I want to take a


    leap of faith and give it a shot," she finished.


    "We understand where you''reing from too, Miss Riddle.Everyone knows that you''re the one who


    came up with this chip, and that is why you wish to bring it to its full potential.Unfortunately, our


    experience is telling us that the 5-nanometer technology is the safest bet.It has the highest rate of


    sess too, which is why we find the 4-nanometer technology really risky," a determined engineer


    exined as he looked at her.


    "Since you''re all insisting on the use of the 5-nanometer technology, there''s only one option left." Nicole


    turned to Ike.


    Everyone exchanged looks as no one understood what she meant.


    "What option?"


    Nicole looked at them and responded, "You''ll use the 5-nanometer technology, and I''ll get a few people


    to use the 4-nanometer technology.Then, we''ll make aparison.We''ll use the production technology


    that is able to produce the most stable, reliable, and powerful chip.What do you think?"


    The engineers started discussing among themselves and soon after, one of them said, "Okay, that''s the


    best way, moving forward."
