The most important task of the entire research institute now 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 brought into play without giving their opponents any breathing space. Opportunity to squeeze silicon-based chips out of the market as quickly as possible...
This is awesome!
"Maybe, he also has his own considerations."
Otherwise, people from Xingkong Technology would not take the initiative to come to them and sell them this service called "IC Workshop".
No one dares to take it lightly.
"...Topological quantum?"
Upon hearing this, Director Li waved his hand.
Lu Zhou: "... Well, it seems so."
"Maybe there will be results."
Academician Liu took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"... There are some things I know it would be redundant, but I have always wanted to say them. Since Academician Lu returned to China, I really feel that things we are familiar with, whether it is life or work, are really the same every year. It gets stranger every year.”
Academician Liu laughed and said.
"It's definitely not possible to replace experiments, but this technology can help us save a lot of time in the design process."
Having said that, Director Li didn't stand up to evade the conversation. He directly pressed the connect button and put the phone to his ear. There was no hint of the complaining attitude in his voice before, and he spoke with a smile.
"You mean, this thing can replace experiments?!"
"You, you mean..."
Director Li was wearing a professional version of the virtual reality helmet. Like Academician Liu Changqing sitting opposite him, he was leaning motionless on the sofa. Under the leadership of this academician, he visited the new department of the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences—
"... In short, this thing is indeed a good thing. The IC design industry in our country can be fully promoted, starting from colleges and universities, and then implemented to enterprises... But I believe that we do not need to promote it at the enterprise end. After seeing this After the functionality of things, no company will refuse such an excellent development tool.”
"It's more than magical, it's simply amazing..." His face was full of shock. However, while speaking the first half of the sentence in an emotional tone, Director Li couldn't help but have a trace of confusion written on his face, "But what's it for?"
Looking at the curious expression on Academician Liu's face, Director Li sighed and said. "Actually, it's nothing. It's just fun to say we owe him, because he promised me to come out with this awesome thing at the end of last year. But this guy is really good at whetting my appetite. It's been a few months now, and there's no news about it. They won’t reveal it!”
"Well, I've got the quantum computer figured out."
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.
In an office of the Integrated Circuit Design Center.
Facts have proven that his choice was extremely correct. This development tool not only made the boring design work a little more fun, but also more than doubled the work efficiency of their IC design department.
At this moment, the cell phone ringing suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.
"I don't see it."
After swallowing, Director Li's voice trembled.
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 on earth is it..."
His eyebrows suddenly raised, Director Li said in surprise.
"This is our new laboratory. Starry Sky Technology has specially customized development tools for us. We are now also cooperating with them to test the software - Oh, by the way, I almost forgot the most important thing. The name of this thing is Virtual IC workshop, we usually call it IC workshop directly."
Director Li said with a cheerful smile.
"Hey, Academician Lu, where did you make a fortune recently?"
now.
As a comprehensive institute of semiconductor science integrating semiconductor physics, materials, devices and applications, it is not only the top semiconductor research institution in China, but also one of the participants in the Longteng series chip project.
Seeing that Director Li didn't seem to respond, Lu Zhouyan added briefly and comprehensively.
Director Li shook his head and said.
The two cups of tea on the coffee table have gone cold, but Director Li's eyes are hotter than before he put on the helmet.
"... All the components have been enlarged proportionally. With its help, we don't have to stick to traditional drawings and computers to work. In short, according to the reactions of the young people in the institute, in this virtual IC design laboratory, we are engaged in It’s easier to be inspired by groundbreaking work.”
"Hey, forget about that guy. He still owes me something."
"What do I owe you?"
As he spoke, Dean Liu Changqing turned over his wrist and moved a few fingers. The light yellow lines suspended in his hands were like puppets hanging upside down, rapidly switching forms under the pull of invisible strings, which made Director Li see. Dazzled.
The laboratory is as busy as ever.
Of course, these are just some of his assumptions from the perspective of a scholar, not to mention that he also believes that Professor Lu must have thought of these long ago due to his intelligence.
"... All tools and operations can be completed through an interactive interface, whether it is the movement, rotation or local modification of objects. And these tasks can be completed by one person or by multiple people... Isn't it amazing?"
"I hope so, but I guess it's some kind of trouble that needs my help."
Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
No particular reason.
Because he really knows this guy very well.
He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and after a moment of pause, his tone was filled with emotion.
"It's not a big deal to begin with. I'm not calling you to discuss this matter." After looking at the time on his watch, Lu Zhou on the other end of the phone continued, "... I have already solved the problem of topological quantum technology. .”
In the blank room, the flowing light and shadow were like visible entities, which were reassembled into a vertically suspended square sheet in the hands of Academician Liu Changqing. He briefly demonstrated the functions of this development tool to Director Li next to him.
In fact, it’s not just IC design.
Lu Zhou, who was holding the phone, nodded.
"I'm going to take a call." Director Li took out his phone, glanced at the screen, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Hey, it happened to be Academician Lu who said Cao Cao was here."
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.
"I heard that your helmet sold for tens of billions, didn't it?"
Frustrated by Director Li's words, Lu Zhou, who was about to get down to business, was slightly stunned and said hesitantly.
Some time ago, because of the Longteng chip incident, this research institution, which participated in the R&D center as a cooperative unit, stole the show around the world.
Reaching out and picking up the teacup, Academician Liu continued what he had left unfinished.
The positive impact of liberating creative work from rigid drawings is far from just making the work more interesting in form. It will completely liberate creativity and inspiration, and add a new dimension to the entire creative work. wing.
The transition from pursuer to pursuer changes not only the status of the industry, but also the responsibility of the industry itself. And if advantages cannot be maintained, the previous efforts will be meaningless...
That's it...
"You can directly understand it as...a quantum computer in a popular sense."
Before that, he never thought that this thing, which he thought was just a game console, could have such a great effect.
"It's very useful," Academician Liu smiled and continued, "With some simple geometric images and parameter settings, we can use this development tool called 'IC Laboratory' to simulate carbon dioxide in a virtual reality environment. Based on the integrated circuit of the chip, we design the details of the circuit.”
Compared with other old academicians of the same age, Liu Changqing is more receptive to new things, so when Xingkong Technology contacted them, he immediately promoted the introduction of this technology in the institute.
"...make a fortune?"
Director Li: "I feel like your reaction is very dull."
However, it is precisely because of this heavy honor that the people here feel the pressure on their shoulders.
The moment he heard these words, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
