Hammer of Technology

"Do I have it?" Liu Wei frowned, he really didn't feel that he was any different from usual.

"Absolutely!" Ning Wei nodded affirmatively, and then said with a smirk, "Let me guess, does Brother Liu also want the boss of Intel to come to China to kowtow to us as father?"

Liu Wei was speechless.

"Haha, just kidding, wait a minute, isn't this the material that passed the test just sent in for rubbing? We can go to sleep for a while, and the next step is to rub the chip with a serious robot arm. Can it be successful? You'll know in a few hours, if you're excited at this time, why don't you hurry up and go to sleep for a while. There will be a sound when the meeting is over." Ning Wei stepped forward and patted Liu Wei's shoulder and said.

Obviously, he is not the only one who is more excited today. Really, if you only look at Ning Wei's relaxed appearance, Liu Wei really believes that this guy in front of him can be as calm as usual, but it's a pity that when Ning Wei patted him on the shoulder just now, Liu Wei It is obvious that Dr. Ning's hands are trembling slightly, and often these uncontrolled body language can explain a person's true state.

"Let's go, but can you really sleep today? Won't you be so excited that you can't sleep?" Liu Wei asked casually, feeling a little funny, this young guy didn't know what to put on in front of him.

Sure enough, this sentence made Ning Wei stop, turned his head to the side and said disdainfully: "Ha, brother Liu, you just know me too late. I'm really not bragging. When I wrote the turbulence algorithm, I wrote It can be completed with a few lines of code, and I can test it directly after writing, but because it is my usual rest time, I immediately turn off the computer and go to sleep. This kind of big scene is seen a lot, and I will rub it because of a hand Chip can't sleep?"

"Hehe, go to rest early, and continue the test when you have enough energy." Liu Wei in turn stretched out her hand and patted Ning Wei's shoulder and said.

"Brother Liu, you're laughing so hard that you don't know..."

"Don't say anything, I'll take you to rest." Liu Wei decisively interrupted Ning Wei's nonsense, how should I put it, he may not win this round, but he must not lose.

……

At one o'clock in the morning, the two were lying on the bed, breathing evenly, no one was talking, as if they were both asleep, and they couldn't hear the movement of turning over. Five minutes later, Liu Wei's voice sounded in the room.

"Okay, stop pretending, I know you're not asleep. This is not how normal people fall asleep."

"Oh, I was about to fall asleep, but you woke me up!"

"Ha ha……"

"Okay, what's it like for a normal person to fall asleep?"

"In the sleep stage of normal people, the breathing is not constant, but gradually slows down regularly but lasts longer. This is a natural response when the muscle tone decreases and the person is in a relaxed state."

"Brother Liu, don't you? Even these things have to be studied?"

"Of course, judging a person's state from breathing is a basic skill."

"alright, you win!"

Another moment of silence.

Liu Wei asked again: "Tell me about the chip that is being rubbed upstairs? If today's experiment is successful, does it mean that it will be mass-produced soon?"

Ning Wei replied: "Although the possibility of success is very high, after all, it has been calculated many times before, but mass production is still a little difficult, but the difficulty is not too great. In fact, to put it bluntly, the functions it implements are similar to other current ones. There is not much difference in the chip, except that it can bypass the previous patents. The most difficult part lies in the continuous improvement of the process, such as from the current 180nm to 90nm, and then to 60nm... Just like silicon-based chips, the unit volume requires The more transistors you can accommodate, the more problems you have to solve than I can do alone."

Liu Wei asked suspiciously, "Don't you have March?"

Ning Wei turned over, looked at Liu Wei on the other side of the wall through the night light, and explained: "Sanyue has no creativity. Its current ability is mainly auxiliary. For example, if I design a chip layout first, it can pass Super resource integration ability to make mathematical judgments, what problems may be encountered in this chip layout, and then give suggestions for modification.”

"There is a premise here. In March, someone needs to continuously provide similar data, such as a certain channel. Someone has designed it like this before, but there have been problems. When this data is uploaded to the March smart platform, if there is a similar The design will be marked directly, and even if something can be deduced through mathematics, it can also give the correct reference. So when the data is sufficient, it can indeed participate in process improvement.”

"In addition, we have linked many professional paper databases to March. If some theoretical discoveries are crawled by it, after its modeling, it happens that this theoretical discovery can be established in the direction of our research. It can indeed use these theories to directly promote the improvement of technology, even transformative improvement. But these are still based on the initial research of people in the final analysis."

"So from this point of view, March is still only a tool category. You can't ask it to start from scratch. This is also the purpose of my establishment of this laboratory. With the help of automation, many experiments in the core laboratory may not even be needed in the future. People will participate. In this way, March can enrich its database by conducting experiments and recording data by itself. Of course, this efficiency cannot be too high, unless enough such automated laboratories are built for it.”

"This is the correct use of March, so I hope that as many laboratories as possible are willing to share their laboratory data with March. For example, the silicon-through-tube [-]D chip manufacturing technology that is going on today can be said to be the predecessor The synthesis of all research data, so to advance this technology still needs someone to continue to do it in this direction."

"Of course, it's not a difficult task. When the chip on it is rubbed out, I will do a basic test first. If there is no problem, we will send it to the national-level testing center for a comprehensive test tomorrow. When the test report comes out, if all There is no big problem with each of the indicators, which means that this new structure is feasible. This also represents the birth of a new chip development direction with great market potential. The annual semiconductor market size alone is enough to make many people Excited. Next, I will ask March to refer to the current silicon-based chips to design larger integrated chips, such as CPUs and GPUs.”

This kind of science popularization in a way he can understand made Liu Wei feel very relieved.Rubbing the chip directly with one hand really subverted his outlook on life.However, Ning Wei's words also brought Liu Wei some questions: "In addition to proposing a direction, does this chip have other meanings?"

Ning Wei smiled and said: "Of course, as far as radio frequency chips are concerned, at least you don't need to license other people's technology, you can use them directly. If the chip performance is excellent, you can sell it to other companies that need chips, such as Apple and Tesla. These, and radio frequency chips are used in a wide range, not just for mobile phones to receive signals, but our chips are mainly concentrated in high-end fields, such as ID cards, which do not need to be used.”

"Then since March's data integration capabilities are so great, why don't other laboratories take the initiative to join? I think the conditions you proposed should be very good?" Liu Wei continued to ask after thinking about it.

Ning Wei thought for a while, then sighed and replied: "The reason is very complicated, except that it is impossible to cover everything except the interest relationship, and March's ability to uncover fakes is extremely strong. If the laboratory is docked, there are false data, or inefficient repetition The data will be discovered immediately, which is actually very troublesome. To be honest, this is also a problem that I only discovered after accessing some laboratory data recently. I thought everything was too ideal before."

"According to what you said, if all scientific research project reviews are connected to the March Smart Platform, wouldn't it be able to effectively eliminate all kinds of fake projects?" Hearing this, Liu Wei suddenly became interested.

Ning Wei hurriedly said: "I didn't say that. If there are duplicate projects approved in the database, they can be found out quickly. But some projects are actually very promising and useful. Sanyue can't judge whether these projects should The establishment of the project only refers to the research process after the establishment of the project. If the data is submitted to March for evaluation, a result can be obtained quickly. For example, after copying the data, or digitally simulating the submitted data and the experimental process, it is found that the laboratory cannot achieve You can really spot it pretty quickly.”

"That's enough. I'll give you a suggestion later. For projects of a certain level in the future, the data must be regularly submitted to the March data platform for review. What do you think?" Liu Wei said seriously.

This proposal kept Ning Wei silent for a while, before he said quietly: "Brother Liu, I remember you told me before that I have the physique of attracting enemies, and there are a group of people abroad who don't think that I can live too peacefully, even Many are still big shots, right?"

"Well! Yes, what's the matter?" Liu Wei nodded and responded.

Ning Wei sighed and said: "Hey, have you ever thought about it? If you really go to suggest it, and then you really plan to do it, the people who don't want me to live too peacefully in the future are probably not limited to foreign countries. Want to beat me up violently? People who even kill me may have to line up."

Quite a realistic question, Liu Wei said without even thinking about it: "Didn't I say that unless I hang up first, you will be fine. And there are many people like me, not just one. I just happened to be arranged It’s just by your side. So you really don’t have to worry about safety.”

Ning Wei smacked his lips, and commented indifferently: "Yeah! That's whatever you want. That's fine, I'll be short of money in the future, so I'll just organize an event, find a place and pick a time, and those who hate me will sign up in advance To participate, you only need to pay one hundred yuan to slap me. As long as I can hold on, if I do this event a few more times, I might be able to become the richest man in the world. Nothing else, just a bit useless face. So, it’s not unreasonable for me to be annoying, someone will always push me further and further down the road of being annoying.”

Liu Wei said: "It is true that some people may be offended, but thinking about it the other way around, it will definitely make more people like it. Even if this kind of event is really held, at most I will stand in front of you and slap you, and you stand behind and count money."

"That also requires others to be willing to fight. Doing so loses the principle of integrity!"

"Don't worry, you won't be short of money, and you won't be beaten because of these things. When necessary, you will directly kill others. What is more important, money or life, someone can tell the difference!" Liu Wei's tone really carried a trace of murderous intent. .

……

Just like that, the two chatted one after another, and then the sound of music suddenly came from the second floor, and then Ning Weide bounced off the bed, put on his shoes and rushed out.Seeing Ning Wei's appearance, Liu Wei didn't know that it was the prompt sound that the chip was rubbed by hand, so she quickly got up from the bed and rushed to the second floor with Ning Wei.

When Liu Wei rushed to the second floor, Ning Wei had already started to put on the equipment. After gaining experience twice, the speed was obviously faster. This time it only took seven or eight minutes. Ning Wei finished dressing and walked into the In the clean room, he quickly walked out with a tray, placed it, and then began to undress.

"Successful?" Liu Wei asked.

"Well, this is the kind of chip I'm talking about, with brand new materials and a new design, but the package still uses sip technology, filters, frequency bands, RF switches, power amplifiers, etc., all functions are concentrated in one Isn’t the small chip amazing? And it’s purely made in China, wait a minute, it seems to use foreign instruments, don’t care! Those are all tools.”

As Ning Wei spoke, he picked up a chip and put it in front of his eyes to appreciate it.

"I'll take it to see if it's okay." Liu Wei asked.

"The flip chip packaging technology used, there are no pins and not so delicate, just look at it." Ning Wei nodded.

Liu Wei looked at the remaining seven neatly arranged chips in the tray, and curiously took one to observe carefully. In fact, it seemed to be no different from ordinary chips, and there was still some warmth in the hand.

"You wait for me to download, I will do a simple test first, there are still a few testing equipment here." Ning Wei first took out his mobile phone, took a photo of each corner of the chip, and then said while holding the tray.

"Oh, I'll carry it for you."

Just like that, when Ning Wei was done tossing, it was dawn.

"Is there a problem?" Liu Wei couldn't help asking as she watched Ning Wei come out of the laboratory with testing equipment excitedly.

"Haha, I think we can call the bosses of Intel and Qualcomm, and invite them to come and kowtow to me!" Ning Wei said in a high-flying manner, with no trace of exhaustion from staying up all night visible on his face.

As he said that, Ning Wei took out his mobile phone, called up March, and pointed a thumbs up at the camera of the mobile phone: "San Yue, you have done a good job again!"

"Meow..." The kitten looked at Ning Wei arrogantly, then wagged its tail like a swing.

"Haha, look at this little guy!" Ning Wei pointed at the phone, and then a message popped up on the phone: "Hey, you little guy also posted a Weibo? What did you say? I'll go... "

Hearing Ning Wei's words, Liu Wei silently took out his mobile phone, and then opened Weibo. Yes, as a person close to Ning Wei, he also downloaded Weibo, but he only followed Ning Wei before. After Weibo appeared in March, there was another March.

At this moment, the first Weibo post appeared on the Weibo homepage whose real name was certified as Artificial Intelligence March.

This is probably the first Weibo posted by a human artificial intelligence program: "Tell everyone what the real industrial revolution is. This is the chip I rubbed out with my little claws! @HUAWEI, the 5G you want is here! "

Liu Wei looked at the main interface of March, although there was no Weibo, but there were more than 1000 million followers. She fell into deep thought, then raised her head, pointed to those chips, and asked, "Is this chip related to secrets?"

"Ah? No secrets, right?"

Ning Wei rubbed his head and said: "This thing is just a new direction. I also said that purely in terms of performance, it has not improved much. Although in the long run, the development potential is stronger than that of silicon-based chips. After all, carbon There are only two atomic layers, but silicon has three. The second is the ingenious channel structure problem, and these patents have been filed."

"Oh!" Liu Wei relaxed.

Immediately afterwards his cell phone rang: "Xiao Liu, what does that little claw on the Internet mean by rubbing the chip? You succeeded last night?"

"Yes, it succeeded. Just now, Dr. Ning did a test and said that it has improved compared to the current technology purely in terms of performance."

"Wait a minute, I'll be right there."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Wei said to Ning Wei, "Mr. Chen will be there soon."

"Why wait for him? We still have to send the chip to the testing center." Ning Wei muttered dissatisfied.

"Ahem, let's wait. You also said that sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters. If we, Mr. Chen, come forward to say hello, we should pay more attention there. The priority is the highest, and the speed of conclusion is also fast. Faster." Liu Wei said sincerely.

"Isn't my signboard enough?" Ning Wei asked in surprise.

Liu Wei kept silent for a while.

"Hey, so, Brother Liu, are you teaching me to treat Mr. Chen as a tool, right?" Ning Wei blinked, and asked again not to think it was a big deal.

Really, this environment does not match the results at this time. The joy in the heart is intertwined with the deserted environment of the scene, which makes Ning Wei feel that he does not talk too much. Looking at Lao Liu's bewildered appearance, he is pleased with him Mood crime.

"It's not just Mr. Chen. Really, you can now regard everyone around you as a tool, including me. As long as this chip can really reopen an era as you said. There is no limit, and the standard is in this laboratory. The era in your hands." Liu Wei said very cooperatively.

------------

277 is not a chip!It's the future!

For the vast majority of people, this is a very normal day. After all, it is a working day, and thinking about the various tasks that are pressing on them can make people breathless.But the amazing thing about the Internet is that no matter how depressing it is in real life, you can find outlets here.

For example, swiping your phone on the way to work is a good way to relax. It can not only clear your mind quickly, but also make you feel good before starting work.What's new recently?Did my favorite idol go out late at night to get drunk yesterday?Is the stock market going up again?In many cases, you can even get information about your own industry from the Internet.

Just like today, Weibo in March is confusing countless semiconductor practitioners.Really, it is difficult for you to understand the meaning of this through the content of this Weibo.The accompanying picture looks like eight ordinary chip photos, with a funny cat head on top.

In particular, that sentence is about the industrial revolution, rubbing chips by hand, and directly @Huawei, which makes people confused.If you innovate, can't you tell where the innovation is?It's so cloudy, it's really confusing.

Of course, for those March fans, this is not a problem at all.

Their cat posted on Weibo, and even posted a selfie. The content of the Weibo is still hot and personal, domineering mixed with cuteness. Look, first of all, the domineering sentence "Let you see what is the industrial revolution" ", and then Mengmeng da "This is the chip I rubbed out with my little claws", which perfectly fits everyone's emotional expectations for this kitten.

What is a professional?

This is professional!

First of all, March is artificial intelligence. Although the definition of artificial intelligence does not need to be understood by ordinary people, everyone is talking about it. It must be a very powerful technology. Domineering is right.Secondly, the image of March is a little milk cat, which is different from artificial intelligence. Everyone in the little milk cat knows that it must be cute and cute to be loved. In one sentence, the two characteristics are combined together, every day The big V who mixes Weibo has to shout professionally when he comes!

So at least for Weibo, the purpose of attracting traffic has been achieved. In the early morning, this Weibo received countless retweets and comments, and even #三月account发微博了# went directly Weibo hot search list.

This is understandable.

I also posted on Weibo in March before, but they were all posted on Ningwei's Weibo account, so they can't be counted.So in a sense, today’s Weibo is the first Weibo in human history that was published by an artificial intelligence program with its own account, which can be recorded in history. Book kind.

But the comments below this Weibo are very strange, because everyone has different concerns.

"Wow, our little Sanyue has learned how to rub the chip with his hands. The kitten has grown up, how does this chip rub? It would be great if he could teach my Chou Bao how to rub the chip!" Obviously, this is probably March. footprints left by her mother fans.

"I'm taking the liberty to ask, is the chip made by rubbing the cat's claws serious? Will it be named the cat's claw chip in the future?" This is a person who likes to be clever.

"Stop rubbing chips, use your little claws to rub an aircraft carrier and come out to open your eyes!" This is probably purely boring to join in the fun.

"Rubbing the chip with my hands is really something that can only be done by artificial intelligence in my mind! Come on, cut me off and serve Sanyue with wine!" This is probably a brainless fan.

Of course there are serious discussions.

"Is this Weibo really posted in March? The logo on the chip does look like a radio frequency chip, but can you explain the innovations of this chip?"

For many fans, what makes them feel particularly happy is that almost all comments will receive a reply as soon as they are posted, which is really a very different experience.

"Meow, it's very simple to rub the chip with your hands. Rub it to the left, rub it again, and then it will come out. Let Shou Baolai learn from me!"

"Meow, the chip must be a decent chip, but I don't know if you are a serious person or not!"

"Meow, it's not impossible to rub an aircraft carrier, but you have to use hundreds of billions to make my claws bigger!"

"Meow, March is the most obedient, don't drink, even if I kill you!"

"Meow, it was released in March. It's a real radio frequency chip. The innovation lies in new materials, new structures, and new processes. Are you surprised or surprised?"

All these comments are followed by a cute kitty head.

……

Really, as long as you have the patience to look through the comment section of March’s Weibo, you will find that March has participated in the replies below all the comments, and every reply is the first. Follow up.

Of course, the comment area is not so harmonious, and there are some comments that are not too clean. If it is not too much, March will reply "Meow, the kitten does not show off, you think I am Hello K? Blacklist warning! / cat Head/", if it is too much, or if it is judged to be a swear word, it will be deleted immediately, and then accurately pulled into the blacklist, so the comment area under March Weibo really looks lively and warm.

Soon, another article about March's behavior was on Weibo's trending topic list #三月精品答案Every Comment#.More people started to come here, leaving footprints in the comment area, and soon gained something, and March's die-hard fans even began to directly interact with March in the Weibo comment area, chatting with each other.

Correspondingly, some semiconductor practitioners began to talk about kittens in this way, such as asking what new technology was used in the comment area, and got a reply: "Meow, commercial confidentiality, no comment! If you want to know the specific information, you can Wait for the news or join us! After all, even if I post a dynamic picture on Weibo, you may not understand it! Axi! /猫头/”

Really, this reply is simply irrefutable, after all, normal people probably would not argue with artificial intelligence about who is more knowledgeable.

In this way, a magical scene happened.

Rarely seen on Weibo, Weibo with the number of comments rising faster than likes and retweets was born.

But what's outrageous is that this was originally a Weibo to celebrate the birth of new chip technology, but the comment area is crooked.How outrageous is it in the end?For example, someone in the comment area actually uploaded an article at the beginning, please comment in March, how is it written, as an artificial intelligence cat, can you read it? Go back in time and become a cat".

What's even more frightening is that March actually commented "Meow, it looks good, but is it not good to be a person? /猫头/!"
