Institute of Semiconductors, Huake Institute.

The lab is as busy as ever.

As a comprehensive semiconductor science research institute integrating semiconductor physics, materials, devices and applications, it is one of the top semiconductor research institutions in China and one of the participants in the Longteng series of chip projects.

Some time ago, because of the Dragon's chip, the research organization that participated in the R&D center with the cooperation unit has made a big splash in the world.

However, it is because of this heavy glory that people here feel the pressure on their shoulders.

No one dares to take it lightly.

The shift from chasers to chasers changes not only the status of the industry, but also the responsibility of the industry itself. And if the advantage of this kind of thing can't be maintained, the previous pay will have no meaning...

Now the most important task of the whole research institute is to do everything possible to improve the integration of carbon-based transistors per unit area in carbon-based chips, so that the efficiency of carbon-based chips can be further developed without giving their opponents a little breathing. Opportunity to squeeze silicon-based chips out of the market at the fastest speed...

now.

In an office of the IC Design Center.

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

"This is our new lab. Starcraft Technology has specially customized development tools for us. We are now working with them to test the software. Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing. The name of this gadget is virtual. Ic workshop, we usually call it ic workshop."

In the blank room, the flowing light and shadow are like visible entities. In the hands of Academician Liu Changqing, they are reassembled into a vertical suspended square sheet. The director Li directly demonstrates the function of this development tool.

“...all tools and operations can be done through an interactive interface, whether it is the movement, rotation or partial modification of objects. And these tasks can be done by one person or by many people... Is it amazing? ?"

"It’s just magical. It’s amazing.” The face was full of shock. However, while speaking the first half of the sentence in a sigh of emotion, Director Li’s face could not help but write a trace of confusion. But what is it used for?"

“There can be a lot of use,” said Liu, who smiled and continued. “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. The integrated circuit of the base chip and design the details of the circuit."

The eyebrows suddenly lifted up, and Secretary Li said differently.

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

This is okay!

“It’s definitely not a substitute for the experiment, but this technology can help us save a lot of time spent in the design process.”

Said, President Liu Changqing turned over his wrist and moved a few fingers. The pale yellow line suspended in his hand was like a puppet hanging upside down. He quickly switched the shape under the traction of the invisible wire, and looked at Director Li. Dazzling.

"...all the components have been scaled up. With its help, we don't have to stick to the traditional drawings and computers to work. In short, according to the young people in the room, in this virtual ic design lab, Engaging in groundbreaking work is easier to get inspiration."

Compared with other old academicians of the same age, Liu Changqing is the kind that can accept new things. So when they contacted them on Star Technology, they introduced the technology in the first place.

And it turns out that his choice is extremely correct. This development tool not only makes the boring design work a little more fun, but also increases the efficiency of their ic design department more than doubled.

In fact, it is not just an ic design.

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

The positive impact of freeing creative work from rigid drawings is much more than just making the work look more interesting and simple, but will completely liberate creativity and inspiration, plugging the entire creative work. wing.

Of course, these are just some of the ideas that he has made from the perspective of a scholar. Moreover, he also believes that the wisdom of Professor Lu, must have thought of this long ago.

Otherwise, Star Technology will not take the initiative to find the door, and sell them the service called "ic workshop".

After taking the details of the ic workshop with Director Li, the two men withdrew from the phantom system and took off their helmets and returned to the office.

The two teas on the coffee table have been cold, but the eyes of Director Li are even hotter than before wearing the helmet.

Before that, he didn't even think that this thing that seemed to him to be just a game console had such a big effect.

Reaching out and picking up the cup, Liu Academician continued with the topic that he had not finished before.

"... In short, this thing is really a good thing. Our country's ic design industry can be fully promoted, starting from the university and then implementing it to the enterprise... but I believe that the company does not need to push us at the end. After the function of this thing, no company will reject such excellent development tools."

After taking a sip of tea and moistening the scorpion, he paused for a while, and the tone brought a bit of emotion.

"...some words, although it is superfluous to know that it is said, I have always wanted to say it. Since I returned to China, I really feel that I am familiar with things, whether it is life or work, it is really a year." It is stranger year after year."

Upon hearing this sentence, Director Li set his hand.

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

"What owe you?"

Looking at the curious expression on Liu’s face, Secretary Li sighed and said. "In fact, there is nothing. It is also fun to say that owing is that he promised me the whole thing at the end of last year. But this guy is really capable of appetizing. It’s been a few months now, it’s a bit of wind. Would not disclose it!"

Liu Academician haha ​​smiled and said.

"Maybe, he also has his considerations."

Director Li shook his head.

"I can't see it."

There are no special reasons.

Because he really understands this guy too.

At this time, the ringing of the ringing phone suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.

"I took a call," Li said. He touched the phone and looked at the screen. He suddenly squatted and said with a smile. "Hey, Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, but it was exactly what the Academician Lu called."

Liu Academician took a sip of tea and smiled.

"Maybe there is a result."

"I hope, but I guess it is a trouble to ask me for help."

As said, Director Li did not get up and shunned. He pressed the call directly and put the phone to his ear. There was no previous complaint in the tone. The opening was just a smile.

"Hey, Lu Academician, where did you make a fortune recently?"

It was forced by the words of Director Li, and Lu Zhou, who was just preparing to say something right, bowed a little and hesitated.

"...a big fortune?"

Director Li said with a smile.

"I heard that your helmet is not selling hundreds of millions?"

Just about this...

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

Director Li: "Hey, I feel like you are reacting very flatly."

"It wasn't a big deal. I didn't call you to discuss this matter," he glanced at the time on the watch. Lu Zhou continued to say, "...the problem of topological quantum technology I have solved." It is."

"...topological quantum?"

Subconsciously, this word seems to be not very simple, but Secretary Li couldn’t remember where he had heard it before, but he wrinkled and asked, "What the **** is..."

Seeing that Director Li did not seem to respond, Lu Zhouyan added a brief explanation.

"You can directly understand... quantum computers in the popular sense."

At the moment of hearing this sentence, the phone was silent for a few seconds.

Speaking and vomiting, Director Li’s voice trembled.

"You, you mean..."

The boat that held the phone, nodded.

"Well, quantum computer, I have already done it."
