Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Semiconductor Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The lab is as busy as ever.

As an integrated semiconductor science research institute that integrates semiconductor physics, materials, devices and their applications, this is one of the top semiconductor research institutions in the country and one of the participants in the Longteng series of chip projects.

Because of the Longteng chip, the company participated in the research institute of the R&D center in a collaborative way, and took the lead around the world.

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

No one dares to fall lightly.

The shift from being chased to being chased is not only about the status of the industry, but also about the responsibility of the industry itself. And advantages This kind of thing, if it can't be sustained, the previous giving makes no sense...

Now the most important task of the entire institute is to do everything possible to enhance the integration of carbon-based transistors within the unit area of the carbon-based chip so that the efficiency of the carbon-based chip can be further maximized and their opponents are not given a chance to breathe a little and squeeze the silicon-based chip out of the market at the fastest possible speed...

At this moment.

In one of the offices of the Integrated Circuit Design Center.

Director Lee is wearing a professional version of the Virtual Reality Helmet, leaning still on the couch, like Yao Changqing Academician sitting opposite him, and led by the Academician to visit the new department of the Chinese Academy Semiconductor Institute -

“This is our new lab, the development tool that Startech has customized for us, and we're working with them now to test the software —— oh yeah, almost forgot the most important thing, it's called the Virtual IC Workshop, and we call it the IC Workshop. ”

In the blank room, the flowing light shadow, like a visible entity, was regrouped into a vertically suspended square thin plate in the hands of Master Liu Changqing, briefly demonstrating the functionality of this development tool to Director Li next door.

“… all tools and operations can be accomplished through an interactive interface, whether moving, rotating or partially modifying objects. And these tasks can be done by one person or by multiple people... isn't it amazing? ”

“It's more than magic, it's amazing...” His face was full of shock, but while he said the first half of the sentence in an emotional tone, he couldn't help but write a little confusion on Director Li's face. "But what use is it? ”

“It's very useful,” Yanagi laughed, continuing, "with some simple geometric images and parameter settings, we can use this development tool called 'IC Lab‘ to simulate integrated circuits of carbon-based chips in virtual reality environments and design the details of the circuits. ”

Eyebrows suddenly lifted, Director Li dissapointed.

“Meaning this thing can replace the experiment?! ”

That's bullshit!

“It's definitely not a good alternative to experimentation, but this technology can help us save a lot of time in the design process. ”

Speaking, Dean Liu Changqing turned his wrist and moved several fingers. The light yellow line suspended in his hand was like a puppet hanging upside down. He quickly switched form under the guidance of an invisible lift line, and confused Director Li's eyes.

“… all the elements have been scaled up by equivalents, and with its help we do not have to work with traditional drawings and computers. In short, young people at the Institute react that pioneering work is easier to inspire in this virtual IC design lab. ”

Liu Changqing, as opposed to other elderly academics of the same age, belonged to the more acceptable kind of new things, so when he contacted them on the side of Sky Technology, he first promoted the introduction of this technology into the institute.

And it turns out that his choices were incredibly correct, and this development tool not only made the boring design work a little more fun, but also more than doubled the efficiency of their IC design department.

Actually, it's not just IC design anymore.

The same type of technology can actually be applied in many fields, as small as the modular design of a product, as large as the simulation of urban layout.

The positive impact of freeing creative work from rigid drawings is far more than just making it look more fun and simple in form, it will completely unleash creativity and inspiration and put wings on creative work as a whole.

And of course, these are just some of the assumptions he made from the perspective of an academic, and he believes that with Professor Lu's wisdom, he must have thought of these a long time ago.

Otherwise, Sky Technologists won't come to the door to sell this service called "IC Workshop” to them.

After visiting the details of the IC Workshop with Director Lee, both of them withdrew their helmets from the phantom system and returned to their offices.

The two teas on the table are already cold, but Director Li's eyes are hotter than they were before he put on his helmet.

Until then, he had no idea that this was supposed to be just a console thing, but it still had such a big effect.

Reaching out and picking up the cup, Yanagi continued with an unfinished conversation.

“... Anyway, this is really a good thing. The IC design industry in our country can be fully promoted, starting with colleges and then implementing it to enterprises... but I believe that we don't have to push it at all. After seeing the functionality of this thing, no enterprise will reject such an excellent development tool. ”

A sip of tea moistened his voice, paused him for a moment, and the tone was a little emotional.

“... there's something I've always wanted to say, even though it's superfluous to know. Ever since Lu Academician returned home, I really feel like we are familiar with something, whether it is life or work, it really looks like a year, a year over a year stranger. ”

Upon hearing this, Director Li set the scene.

“Hey, forget about that guy, he still owes me one thing. ”

“What do I owe you? ”

Looking at the curious look on Liu Yang's face, Director Li sighed. “Actually, it's nothing. It's also fun to say that he owes me, which is what he promised me at the end of last year. But this guy can hang his appetite. It's been a few months now, and the stiffness is not revealed at all! ”

Yanagi laughed and said.

“Perhaps he has his thoughts on it too. ”

Director Li shook his head.

“I don't think so. ”

There is no special reason.

Because he really knows this guy too well.

At this time, the phone rings suddenly, interrupting the conversation.

“I answered the phone," Commissioner Li touched out his phone and looked at the screen. He suddenly stunned and said with a smile, “Yo, speaking of Cao Cao arrived, it happened to be Master Lu calling. ”

Mr Liu took a sip of tea and smiled.

“Probably got results. ”

“I hope so, but I guess I'm in some kind of trouble. ”

Speaking, Director Li did not stand up to hide. He pressed the connection directly to gather the phone to his ear. There was no previous complaining attitude in his tone. When he opened his mouth, he smiled and approached.

“Hey, Master Lu, where have you been making a fortune lately? ”

Inspector Li forced me to say this. The ark, which was just about to say something, slightly gawked and hesitated to say it.

“... make a fortune? ”

Director Li smiled happily.

“Didn't I hear you sold tens of billions of your helmets? ”

That's it...

Ark: “… well, I guess so. ”

Director Li: “How do you feel like you have a very bland reaction? ”

“It wasn't supposed to be a big deal, I didn't call you to discuss it," he continued after looking at the time on the watch, "… I've solved the problem of topo quantum technology. ”

“... topo quantum? ”

The subconscious thought that the word seemed not very simple, but Director Li remembered for a moment and a half where he had heard it before. He asked with a wrinkle, "What is it...”

Seeing that Director Li did not seem to react, Ark Zhou briefly added.

“You can directly understand… quantum computers in the common sense. ”

The moment I heard this, the phone was silent for a few seconds.

He swallowed his mouth and Director Li's voice trembled.

“You, you mean…”

The canoe holding the phone nodded.

“Well, quantum computer, I've got it. ”
