Institute of semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The lab is as busy as ever.

As a comprehensive research institute of semiconductor science integrating semiconductor physics, materials, devices and their applications, it is not only the top semiconductor research institution in China, but also one of the participants of Longteng series chip projects.

Some time ago, because of Longteng chip, this research institution participated in the R & D center as a cooperative unit, and made the most of the world.

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

No one dare to take it lightly.

The change from the chaser to the chased not only changes the status of the industry, but also a responsibility of the industry itself. And if the advantage can't be maintained, the previous efforts 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 in a unit area of carbon based chips, so that the efficiency of carbon based chips can be further developed, without giving their rivals a little chance to breathe, and to squeeze silicon-based chips out of the market as quickly as possible

Now.

An office in the IC Design Center.

Director Li is wearing a professional version of the virtual reality helmet. Like academician Liu Changqing sitting opposite him, he is still leaning on the sofa. Under the guidance of this academician, he visited the new laboratory of the Institute of semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences -

"this is our new laboratory. The development tools specially customized for us by star technology are also being matched now Let them test the software - oh yes, I almost forgot the most important thing. The name of this thing is virtual IC workshop. We usually call it IC workshop directly. "

In the blank room, the flowing light and shadow are like visible entities. In the hands of academician Liu Changqing, they are recombined into a vertically suspended square sheet. Director Li next to the room simply demonstrates the function of this development tool.

“…… All tools and operations can be completed through an interactive interface, whether it is the movement, rotation or local modification of the object. And the work can be done by one person or by many people Isn't it amazing? "

"It's more than magic. It's amazing..." His face was full of shock, but when he said the first half of the sentence in an emotional tone, director Li could not help but write a little confusion on his face, "but what's the use of it?"

"It's very useful," Liu continued with a smile. "With some simple geometric images and parameter settings, we can use this development tool called" IC lab "to simulate the integrated circuit of carbon based chip in the virtual reality environment and design the details of the electric circuit."

Eyebrows suddenly raised, director Li surprised.

"It means that this thing can take the place of experiments?"

This is awesome!

"It's not good to replace experiments, but this technology can help us save a lot of time in the design process."

As he said, President Liu Changqing turned his wrist and moved his fingers. The light yellow lines in his hands were like puppets hanging upside down. Under the traction of invisible lines, he quickly switched shapes, which dazzled director Li.

“…… All the components have been magnified equally. With its help, we don't have to stick to traditional drawings and computers to work. All in all, according to the reaction of all the young people in the Institute, it's easier to get inspiration from pioneering work in this virtual IC design laboratory. "

Compared with other old academicians of the same age, Liu Changqing is one of those who can accept new things. So when they contacted with star technology, they first promoted the introduction of this technology in the Institute.

The fact proves that his choice is extremely right. This development tool not only makes the boring design work more fun, but also improves the working efficiency of their IC design department more than twice.

It's not just IC design.

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

The positive impact of liberating creative work from rigid drawings is far from just making work look more interesting and simple in form, but it will completely liberate creativity and inspiration and give wings to the whole creative work.

Of course, these are just some ideas he made from the perspective of a scholar, and he also believes that Professor Lu's cleverness must have thought of them for a long time.

Otherwise, people of star technology will not come to them to promote the service called "IC workshop".

After visiting the details of the IC workshop with director Li, the two quit the phantom system together, took off their helmets and returned to the office.

The two cups of tea on the tea table are cold, but director Li's eyes are hotter than before he put on his helmet.

Before that, he didn't think that this was just a game machine in his eyes, and it had such a great effect.Reaching for the cup, academician Liu went on with the topic he had not finished before.

“…… Anyway, this thing is really a good thing. Our country's IC design industry can be fully promoted, starting from colleges and universities, and then implementing to enterprises But I don't believe that we need to promote the enterprise at all. After seeing the function of this thing, no enterprise will refuse such excellent development tools. "

He took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. After a pause, he felt a bit emotional.

“…… Some words, although I know it's superfluous, but I always want to say it. Since academician Lu came back to China, I really feel that what we are familiar with, whether it is life or work, is really a year by year look, year by year strange. "

Hearing this, director Li laid his hand.

"Well, don't mention that guy. He still owes me something."

"What do you owe?"

Looking at the curious expression on academician Liu's face, Li Bureau sighed. "In fact, it's nothing. It's funny to say that he owes. That's what he promised me at the end of last year. But this guy is really appetizing. It's been a few months now. I won't tell you anything! "

Academician Liu said with a smile.

"Maybe, he has his own thoughts."

Director Li shook his head.

"I don't think so."

There is no particular reason.

Because he knows this guy so well.

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

"I'll take a call," director Li touched his mobile phone, looked at the screen, and then he said with a smile. "Oh, it's just academician Lu who said that Cao Cao arrived."

Academician Liu took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"There may be results."

"I hope so, but I guess there's something wrong with it."

With that, director Li didn't get up to avoid it. He directly pressed the connect button and put the phone to his ear. There was no previous complaining attitude in his tone. He said with a smile.

"Well, academician Lu, where have you made a fortune recently?"

Forced by director Li's words, Lu Zhou, who was just about to say business, was slightly shocked and hesitated.

“…… Make a fortune? "

Li bureau chief said with a happy smile.

"I heard that your helmets have been sold for hundreds of billions?"

This is it

Lu Zhou: " Well, it seems so. "

Director Li: "how do you feel like you have a very flat reaction?"

"It wasn't a big deal. I didn't call you to discuss it," continued the boat on the other end of the line, glancing at the time on the watch I have solved the problem of topological quantum technology. "

“…… Topological quantum? "

Subconsciously, it seems that the word is not very simple, but for a while, director Li couldn't remember where he had heard it before, so he frowned and asked, "what is it..."

Seeing that director Li didn't seem to respond, Lu Zhou added concisely.

"You can directly understand that Quantum computers in the popular sense. "

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

Swallowing, director Li's voice trembled.

"You, you mean..."

Holding the phone, Lu Zhou nodded his head.

"Well, quantum computer, I've got it."
