The formation of the team that day also went through some things that made people feel their blood warm when they recalled them. Everyone repeatedly looked at the documents and materials from ARM company brought by Zhao Qing, as if they had found a treasure. In Li Taihang's words, it was like the poorest farmer in the village who worked hard in the fields and cooked breakfast in the morning suddenly had the most beautiful daughter-in-law in the city, and the more they looked at her, the more precious she was.
Everyone got to know each other through technical exchanges, and they all understood each other. From now on, maybe everyone will be comrades-in-arms.
Hu Zhiwei and Cheng Ran sat alone in the corner of the conference room, watching the excitement over there.
Hu Zhiwei, who seemed to be unable to get enough of what he saw, said, "I entered USTC as the top student in the county, and later studied under Academician Xia, one of the first three-person team in my country's electronic computer research. I know the legend and obsession of her generation... In the late 1950s, relying on the Soviet Union's military industry and scientific research system, and the return of overseas talents to build China's semiconductor industry, we once closely followed the United States, but it was no longer possible afterwards..."
"The chaotic situation of the system, coupled with the embargo and blockade of the "CoCom", caused us to lag behind for five years, and then lag behind step by step, and finally fall behind for twenty years... The country was extremely poor. In the 1950s and 1960s, the total investment in the national five-year plan was not as much as the annual investment of a large international company in integrated circuits. In the 1970s, the snail incident lost the opportunity to introduce a Japanese integrated circuit production line and obtain a full set of technology. In 1977, at the symposium for scientific and educational workers held in the Great Hall of the People, Wang Shouwu spoke that the annual integrated circuit output of the 600 semiconductor manufacturers in the country was only one-tenth of the monthly output of a Japanese semiconductor factory..."
"We are 15 years behind in scientific research and technology, and 20 years behind in production technology. Academician Wang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences once said: Academician Xia is over 80 years old and can no longer work. I am also in my 60s and will soon be unable to work. If China's CPU has not developed by the time Hu Zhiwei's generation comes, our IT industry... will be doomed."
Hu Zhiwei turned around and patted Cheng Ran on the shoulder.
This beat seemed to convey something, like a mountain.
…
Cheng Ran looked at Li Taihang, then Hu Zhiwei, and finally at Nie Chuan and Nie Yun over there. In fact, he was not that pessimistic. What Hu Zhiwei probably didn't expect was that the two brothers below his generation were still considered a generation... They could high-five and pass on the torch.
Meanwhile, the two Nie brothers were facing Li Taihang's eager questioning with a little nervousness and awkwardness, like two primary school students. Li Taihang was just trying to understand Nie Yun and Nie Chuan's research directions, knowledge structure and skills. The two of them surrounded Li Taihang and talked about the key topic of tickling them. They became more and more excited, and their faces were flushed with joy. What was even more rare was that Li Taihang also echoed them, completely disregarding his status as an academician. Sometimes he was like a spirited child.
Especially for Nie Yun, it was no less than a sudden turn of events. He originally thought that he had offended Chen Yue's future, but it seemed that he could find a little comfort here. Although he might have to solve the problem of separation from the Guoxin project team next, and he might even encounter a blow from Chen Yue. But in front of Academician Li Taihang and Professor Hu Zhiwei who was about to lead the team, they could serve as a roof over his head to deal with the storm.
"It's really strange. You're such an outstanding talent, but I've never seen you in USTC before?" Li Taihang finally sighed.
"Academician Li is too busy. You are very famous. I have heard your lecture at HKUST, but I was away at the time and didn't have the opportunity to meet you in person."
"Now that you have it, you will have to report to me regularly in the future... Do a good job! If there are any mistakes, I will tell you!"
Nie Yun nodded heavily.
What he didn’t say was that, in fact, during the break at the conference, he squeezed in front of Li Taihang and asked him a question. Li Taihang patiently answered him. At that time, he felt that Academician Li was such a nice person, and he must have been impressed by him…
But when he came in, I wanted to say hello, but he went straight to Cheng Ran... What can I do now? I can only try my best to cooperate.
But it’s okay. Nie Yun felt very ambitious and a little inexplicably excited.
In the eyes of Academician Li, the passerby who was once forgotten after being seen finally has a name and a surname.
From now on, statements like “I boasted to Academician Li” will no longer be bragging.
snort!
…
As soon as Chen Yue returned to USTC from the capital, he immediately held a reporting meeting with the participation of several school leaders. Chen Yue held a prominent position at the venue, the top leaders attached great importance to him, and the ministries and commissions gave him several green lights. It can be said that Chen Yue was in the limelight at USTC.
If we were to select the most enviable research group in HKUST, or even in the national projects at this time, the National Chip Project of HKUST's Microelectronics Institute could be said to be the most favored. Not only is there sufficient funding, but it is also supported by HKUST, Nanzhou, and the country. How could the top management of HKUST not pay enough attention to such a highly influential project
Within the project team, as Chen Yue went to the capital, the number of "heroes" around him naturally rose sharply. Many people within the project couldn't help but sympathize with Nie Yun. It was said that after Chen Yue came back, he never looked for Nie Yun once. This was a deliberate neglect. Maybe he was really angry and wanted to send Nie Yun to the bench.
Over in Nie Yun's dormitory, those members of the project team who had a good relationship with him and had heard various rumors within the group also came up to him.
"You can't go on like this, you can't fight him... I know you have grievances, so do we. Don't you understand what he means? He wants you to go over and apologize to him, maybe he will calm down and this matter will be over... Your brother has been discharged from the hospital, so just treat this as a fly. You have to publish the paper anyway, wait until you publish it..."
"Let's stop here," Nie Yun said to this colleague who was actually kind-hearted, "I don't plan to follow him anymore. I plan to leave the project team. The Guoxin project has problems and is not stable. If you still want to leave in the future, come back when I am in place..."
"Do you have a new employer? Do you know that if Chen Yue knew about this, he would ruin your business..."
"I..." Nie Yun was stunned for a moment, but thinking that Hu Zhiwei's team had not been officially established yet, because this involved more confidential content, Cheng Ran first invested 10 million to establish a technology company, and now it should still be going through the formalities, so it will not be announced for the time being, so he kept silent and said, "Let's wait and see."
"Yes! Let's talk about this after you have arranged a new employer. But I still advise you to think carefully about it... Are you sure?"
"… Sure."
The day after Nie Yun revealed his intention to leave in a heart-to-heart talk with his former colleague, the news of his departure spread in the group. Those who were in competition with him were of course eager to see Nie Yun go, and some even wanted to laugh at him. Some also felt sorry for him. After all, Nie Yun was so outstanding that he was at the top of the list in the Guoxin research group. The experience and rank of a national key research project was an important qualification that everyone would strive for.
Chen Yue was furious and demanded that Nie Yun sign a restriction agreement, prohibiting him from engaging in any work related to Guoxin technology, and even warned him not to go abroad, otherwise there would be a leak. At the same time, Nie Yun was prohibited from returning to the laboratory to retrieve any data reports related to Guoxin, and was prohibited from publishing papers with Guoxin-related data. In fact, in the eyes of everyone, Nie Yun could not publish any influential papers related to it, and could not touch the experimental data or even use the experimental content. Nie Yun had been expelled. He would also be threatened by Chen Yue in various ways.
While collecting personal items, Nie Yun saw that colleague again. The colleague seemed very sorry. "I'm sorry, Nie Yun, if you really want to leave, I can't persuade you to come back. This involves a major project, so I have to tell Dean Chen. After all, it will allow the team to make arrangements in advance."
Nie Yun looked at this colleague named Zhang Xinyu and said, "What can you get in return for betraying me? To be more respected by Chen Yue? To take my place..."
"I can't replace you. That's why I have no choice. This way I can be more valued. You are leaving anyway. I asked you before. Do you remember what you said? I asked you if you have made up your mind. You said you have. If you say you haven't decided, I will definitely not tell Chen Yue. But it doesn't matter. You are very good and can find another job. I can't. I am not as good as you. I may just stay here."
Nie Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "Then I wish you all the best."
Researcher Zhang Xinyu nodded, "I hope so. I don't know either. Anyway, this road is still long, and the first batch of national funds has just arrived... Just take your time. You will have a future, I believe."
The colleague who said he believed it with an apologetic look on his face and showed no guilt at all, turned around and showed that he had never really cared about the stray dog.
…
The national project team of the Institute of Microelectronics was in turmoil, and Chen Yue wanted to strictly investigate and restrict Nie Yun.
On the other hand, HKUST was also not stable. Almost overnight, a club called "Tianxing Society" that was established a while ago at HKUST hung banners on various roads, reading, "Hot "Qin" for You Nanzhou Concert Wishing HKUST Tianxing Society Integrated Circuit Design Competition a Complete Success!"
A large group of people gathered under the banner and stared in amazement.
What on earth is going on? The circuit design competition that HKUST Tianxing Club has been holding recently has attracted sponsorship from a celebrity concert!
What is written on this banner is that both ends are promoted at the same time without being left behind.
At the same time, this kind of banner, which has a strong entertainment nature and should not appear on the campus of the rigorous academic atmosphere of the University of Science and Technology, also caused an uproar among the top leaders.
In a campus with tens of thousands of people, whether it is the topic, the eyeballs, or the influence of the popular young singer, it is really like a bombshell dropped.
