Chapter 1178 I've Got It Done

Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The lab is as busy as ever.

As a comprehensive institute of semiconductor science integrating semiconductor physics, materials, devices and their applications, it is not only a top semiconductor research institution in China, but also one of the participants in the Longteng series chip project.

Some time ago, because of the Longteng chip, this research institution, which participated in the R&D center as a cooperative unit, gained the limelight all over the world.

But it is precisely because of this heavy honor that the people here feel the pressure on their shoulders.

No one dares to take it lightly.

The change from the pursuer to the pursued has not only changed the status of the industry, but also the responsibility of the industry itself. And if the advantage cannot be maintained, the previous efforts will be meaningless...

Now the most important task of the entire research institute is to do everything possible to increase the integration of carbon-based transistors per unit area in carbon-based chips, so that the efficiency of carbon-based chips can be further exerted, and their opponents will not be given a little respite. Opportunity to squeeze silicon-based chips out of the market as quickly as possible...

now.

In an office of the Integrated Circuit Design Center.

Director Li is wearing a professional version of the virtual reality helmet, like Academician Liu Changqing sitting opposite him, leaning on the sofa motionless, and under the guidance of this academician, he visited the new department of the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences——

"Here is our new laboratory, the development tools specially customized for us by Xingkong Technology, and we are now cooperating with them to test the software-oh yes, I almost forgot the most important thing, the name of this thing It is called a virtual IC workshop, and we generally call it an IC workshop directly."

In the blank room, the flowing light and shadow were like a visible entity. Academician Liu Changqing reassembled into a vertically suspended square thin plate in the hands of Academician Liu Changqing, and briefly demonstrated the functions of this development tool to Director Li next to him.

"...all tools and operations can be done through an interactive interface, whether it is the movement, rotation or local modification of objects. And these tasks can be done by one person, or by multiple people... Isn't it amazing ?”

"It's not just miraculous, it's simply too miraculous..." Shock was written all over his face, but while he said the first half of the sentence in an emotional tone, Director Li couldn't help showing a trace of confusion on his face, " But what's the use of it?"

"It's very useful," Academician Liu continued with a smile, "With some simple geometric images and parameter settings, we can use this development tool called 'IC Lab' to simulate carbon in a virtual reality environment. Chip-based integrated circuits, and design the details of the circuits."

The eyebrows were raised immediately, Director Li said in surprise.

"It means, this thing can replace the experiment?!"

This is awesome!

"It's definitely not a substitute for experiments, but this technology can help us save a lot of time spent in the design process."

As he said that, Dean Liu Changqing turned his wrist and moved a few fingers. The light yellow line suspended in his hand was like an upside-down puppet. dazzled.

"...All the components have been scaled up. With the help of it, we don't have to stick to traditional drawings and computers to work. In short, according to the reactions of young people in the Institute, in this virtual IC design laboratory, It’s easier to be inspired when you’re doing groundbreaking work.”

Compared with other old academicians of the same age, Liu Changqing is the kind who is more receptive to new things, so when Xingkong Technology contacted them, he immediately promoted the introduction of this technology in the Institute.

Facts have proved that his choice is extremely correct. This development tool not only makes the boring design work a little more fun, but also more than doubles the work efficiency of their IC design department.

In fact, it is not just IC design.

The same type of technology can actually be applied to many fields, ranging from the modular design of a certain product to the simulation of urban layout.

The positive impact of liberating creative work from rigid drawings is far from just making the work look more interesting in form, but will completely liberate creativity and inspiration, and plug in the entire creative work. wing.

Of course, these are just some assumptions he made from the perspective of a scholar, not to mention that he also believes that with Professor Lu's intelligence, he must have thought of these a long time ago.

Otherwise, people from Xingkong Technology would not take the initiative to come to them and sell this service called "IC Workshop" to them.

After showing Director Li the details of the IC workshop, the two exited the phantom system together, took off their helmets, and returned to the office.

The two cups of tea on the coffee table were already cold, but Director Li's eyes were hotter than before he put on the helmet.

Before that, he never thought that this game machine, which he thought was just a game console, would have such a great effect.

Reaching out to pick up the teacup, Academician Liu continued the topic he hadn't finished talking before.

"...In short, this thing is indeed a good thing. The IC design industry in our country can be fully promoted, starting from universities and then implemented in enterprises...But I believe that the enterprise does not need us to promote it at all. After seeing After seeing the function of this thing, no enterprise will reject such an excellent development tool."

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and after a pause, his tone was a little emotional.

"...Some things, although I know it's unnecessary to say them, but I've always wanted to say them. Since Academician Lu returned to China, I really feel that we are familiar with things. Whether it is life or work, it really looks like a year. , getting stranger every year."

Hearing this sentence, Director Li waved his hand.

"Hey, don't mention that guy, he still owes me something."

"What do you owe?"

Seeing the curious expression on Academician Liu's face, Director Li sighed and said. "Actually, it's nothing. It's fun to say that I owe it. It's because he promised me the whole awesome thing at the end of last year. But this guy is really enough to whet my appetite. It's been a few months now, and it's just a little bit of rumors." Refuse to reveal it!"

Academician Liu laughed and said.

"Maybe, he also has his own considerations."

Director Li shook his head and said.

"I don't think so."

There is no particular reason.

Because he really knows this guy too well.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, interrupting their conversation.

"I'll answer a call." Director Li took out his phone, glanced at the screen, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Yo, Cao Cao is here, and it happens to be Academician Lu calling."

Academician Liu took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Maybe there is a result."

"I hope, but I guess there's some trouble that needs my help."

After speaking, Chief Li didn't get up to hide, he directly pressed the connect button and brought the phone to his ear. There was no complaining attitude in his tone before, and he said with a smile.

"Hey, Academician Lu, where did you get rich recently?"

Forced by Director Li's words, Lu Zhou, who was just about to get down to business, froze for a moment, and said hesitantly.

"...to make a fortune?"

Director Li said with a cheerful smile.

"I heard that your helmet sold for tens of billions?"

That's it...

Lu Zhou: "...Well, it seems to be."

Director Li: "I feel like your reaction is very flat."

"It's not a big deal at first, and I didn't call you to discuss this matter." Looking at the time on the watch, Lu Zhou on the other end of the phone continued, "...I have solved the problem of topological quantum technology gone."

"...topological quantum?"

Subconsciously, he felt that this word was not very simple, but Director Li couldn't remember where he had heard it before, so he frowned and asked, "What the hell is it..."

Seeing that Director Li didn't seem to react, Lu Zhouyan added concisely.

"You can directly understand it as...a quantum computer in the popular sense."

The moment he heard this sentence, the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds.

Swallowing, Director Li's voice trembled.

"You, you mean..."

Lu Zhou, holding the phone, nodded.

"Well, quantum computer, I've got it done."
