There are also a few bottles of wine on the wooden wine cabinet, but the prices are average and there is no particularly expensive wine.
Li Ruping led Chen Ming to sit on the sofa. After pouring him a glass of water, she sat next to him, looked at Chen Ming, and started chatting about family matters.
Although Chen Ming was nervous when he met his mother-in-law for the first time, his conversational performance was relatively normal.
He said that he came here in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts for his aunt, so please don't blame him.
He also praised the home’s warm environment and so on.
Then he praised Li Ruping for taking good care of herself and looking very young, which made Li Ruping smile a lot.
Afterwards, Li Ruping was going to cook to entertain Chen Ming, and Chen Ming took the initiative to go over and help.
Li Ruping asked Chen Ming about his situation, and Chen Ming answered her questions enthusiastically.
They talked about everything from family to the army and Chen Ming's own great achievements. Li Ruping was amazed and said that her daughter had found an amazing boyfriend.
On the other hand, Tang Xinyi was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Seeing her mother and Chen Ming chatting like this, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She felt like an outsider in this family, and Chen Ming was like Li Ruping's own son.
With the joint efforts of Chen Ming and his mother-in-law, a sumptuous meal was placed on the table.
Tang Xinyi, who was watching TV, came over after smelling the aroma. After seeing the table full of food, Tang Xinyi couldn't help but complain, "Mom, when I came back before, I didn't see you prepare such a sumptuous meal."
Li Ruping said with a smile: "If you had brought Xiao Ming back earlier, I would have done it for you a long time ago."
Tang Xinyi glanced unhappily at Chen Ming who was standing next to Li Ruping and smiling.
After a pause, she continued, "Where's Dad? Hasn't he gotten off work yet?"
Li Ruping took out her cell phone and muttered, "I have to call and ask."
His father Tang Zhiye is a scientific researcher and sometimes he has to work overtime.
It was okay to work overtime in the past, but not today.
Thinking of this, she dialed Tang Zhiye's number and turned on the speakerphone.
After the call was connected, Li Ruping said directly: "Are you off work? My daughter brought her boyfriend home, hurry back."
Because the speakerphone was on, Chen Ming could clearly hear Tang Zhiye's shocked voice on the other end of the line:
"What? My daughter brought her boyfriend home?! This is the first time ever. I'll buy some good wine and cooked food right away and have a nice toast with my future son-in-law tonight."
Hearing this, Chen Ming's smile widened, and he looked at Tang Xinyi with a smile.
Tang Xinyi also looked at him with complicated eyes, and their eyes met in an instant.
She suddenly felt powerless.
She knew that her decision to bring Chen Ming back had completely established them as a boyfriend and girlfriend.
Although she also had that kind of feeling towards Chen Ming, she never dared to break that window paper.
Chen Ming was also not too proactive. As a woman, she also had to remain reserved.
The two of them just remained in this stalemate.
Anyway, Tang Xinyi thought in her heart that if this guy didn't take the initiative, she would never go up to him and pay for him!
However, she didn't expect that this time when she returned home, the truth would be completely exposed.
However, Tang Xinyi felt speechless.
What is this
Where are the flowers? Where are the candles? Where is getting down on one knee? Why is there such a big difference between my relationship and what I see on TV and in novels
It turned out that my parents confirmed it first and then I forced myself to confirm it.
This is too careless!
Tang Xinyi, whose heart was completely confused, didn't know what to say.
Not long after, Tang Xinyi's father Tang Zhiye returned home with a smile, carrying two bottles of good wine and a bag of cooked food.
Chen Ming looked him up and down.
This is a thin middle-aged man with an elegant temperament. One can tell at a glance that he is either a teacher or a scientific researcher.
Tang Zhiye also saw Chen Ming. After putting down what he was holding, he quickly said to Chen Ming, "You must be Xinyi's boyfriend. You are so young and handsome!"
Chen Ming had a smile on his face. Just as he was about to respond, Li Ruping beside him quickly said, "Xiao Ming is only 19 years old now, and he's already a major!"
During the conversation just now, she also learned about Chen Ming's military rank and position.
After hearing this, Tang Zhiye was stunned for a moment, with shock on his face. After a while, he laughed and said, "Young talent, Xinyi has found a treasure."
While speaking, the look he gave Chen Ming showed even more satisfaction.
Then, he quickly put his arm around Chen Ming's shoulders and sat down, saying, "Come on, come on, sit down quickly, we have to have a good drink!"
As he said this, he asked Li Ruping to get two cups, and he opened the bottle of wine he bought from outside.
Chen Ming smiled and nodded, "Then I'll obey your command. I also want to have a few drinks with you, uncle!"
Drinking is one of the best ways to build a closer relationship with your father-in-law.
Moreover, Chen Ming came here this time with his own mission, so naturally I have to have a few drinks with him before we can have a good chat.
They ate and chatted, and after both men were a little tipsy, Chen Ming felt that the time was ripe.
So he asked, "Uncle, I heard from Xinyi that your family is basically engaged in the research and development of weapons and equipment. Uncle, what kind of research and development are you responsible for?"
There are many types of weapons research and development, including tank armor, missiles, firearms, etc.
You should first find out what kind of work your future father-in-law does before you can make your move.
Tang Zhiye smiled bitterly and said, "My unit is responsible for the research and development of domestic military chips."
After a pause, he said, "But you should also know that in the field of chips, we are far behind the Western countries. The core technology is in the hands of Westerners. If we fall behind, we will fall behind step by step. In the field of 4.6 chips, it will take a long time to catch up with the Western countries."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
Now, whenever the national situation becomes tense, Western countries will use chips to cause trouble.
As a researcher in this field, he feels particularly sad every time he sees such scenes.
They also want to make a big career in the chip field and completely end the era of Western monopoly on chips.
It’s a pity that I have the will but not the ability.
When Chen Ming heard this, he suddenly felt happy. There was a chance!
He took a sip of white wine and said slowly: "Uncle, when I was studying for my doctorate at the National University of Defense Technology, I participated in the research and development of the Tianhe-1 supercomputer. During this period, I delved into the field of chips for a period of time..."
Before Chen Ming finished speaking, Tang Zhiye was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Tianhe-1!?"
He was naturally aware of the uproar caused by Tianhe-1.
Even though this is not his project, he is happy from the bottom of his heart to see that it has surpassed the West for so many years.
Chen Ming nodded and said, "Yes, I was one of the developers of Tianhe-1."
Hearing this, Tang Zhiye's mind instantly became clearer. He recalled the news about Tianhe-1 and said excitedly, "No wonder I thought you looked familiar the first time I saw you. It turns out I saw you on the news!"
He now remembered completely that he had seen Chen Ming's appearance in the news before. At that time, Chen Ming was the introducer of the Tianhe-1 press conference!
Thinking of this, Tang Zhiye sincerely felt that his daughter had good taste and had picked up a great treasure!
Chen Ming nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and then continued to talk about the topic: "Uncle, I also studied chips for a period of time at that time. I think it is not too difficult for our domestic chips to catch up with foreign chips."
When Tang Zhiye heard this, he was stunned for a moment, sobered up a little, and looked at Chen Ming with a puzzled look on his face.
Chapter 213: Change track and bypass the chip manufacturing technology of the lithography machine!
Tang Zhiye stared at Chen Ming blankly, and suddenly felt the urge to curse.
Isn’t it very difficult for domestic chips to catch up with foreign chips
Do you want to listen to what bullshit you are saying
If it wasn't so difficult, Long Country wouldn't have been stuck for so long and been suppressed by foreign countries.
At this time, Tang Zhiye felt that Chen Ming just had some superficial exposure and thought he was already proficient in the industry, which was why he spoke so arrogantly.
Like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, it dares to confront the tiger head-on.
Seeing Chen Ming's serious expression, Tang Zhiye couldn't help but remind him: "Son-in-law, you don't have a deep understanding of the chip field. In the chip field, we lack high-end chip design talents. The most important point is that we lack the precision lithography machines to produce high-end chips!"
As he spoke, Tang Zhiye let out a long sigh, with a hint of loss in his tone.
Photolithography machines have always been their Achilles' heel.
There is a shortage of high-end talents, but they can introduce and train them.
If we train hundreds of thousands or millions of people at one time, in ten or twenty years, there will eventually be a few who stand out and become important talents in chip technology.
But there is really no way to solve the problem of lithography machines. No matter how many people or how much money are invested, it is impossible to achieve a qualitative breakthrough in a short period of time.
Because the technical level contained in the lithography machine is too high and too complicated.
This is not just a technical issue, it even involves the word "country".
The blockade of technology and high-end spare parts by some countries has made Longguo's progress in this regard very slow.
After sighing, Tang Zhiye continued, "You should know that photolithography machines are the epitome of global industrial chain manufacturing. There has been no example of a single country successfully making a photolithography machine without any external help, and it will not be possible for a long time in the future."
