Is it normal for a top student with an EQ of 20 to create a chip?

Chapter 30 142?Not even half my IQ! (Seeking for further reading)
Dai Guangchao took a breath and looked at Luo Yao in disbelief.

"Little brother, do you mean that you can completely avoid the problem of chip power consumption calculation errors during front-end design?"

"That's right, when combined with other modules, it can perfectly support the design of processes below 7nm."

"Below 7nm?!"

People in the conference room were shocked, because everyone knew that this was something that only the three major EDA manufacturers could do.

Other EDA cannot support chip design below 7nm, which means that even if you have a lithography machine below 7nm, you cannot produce chips with a process below 7nm.

Luo Yao felt that the others were making a fuss and ignored them, and continued: "I came into contact with linear models and ensemble models in machine learning when I was in junior high school. Here, it is obviously more reasonable to use the random forest model in the ensemble model."

"Have you been exposed to machine learning since junior high school? How did you get into it so early?"

People in the EDA department looked at each other, wondering when China had become so advanced. They studied machine learning in junior high school.

"I basically didn't have many classes in junior high school. When I had time, I would go to the school library to read. The books in it were all old books collected by school teachers from everywhere. There were all kinds of books. I didn't pick books. I usually picked up which one. Just look at which one.”

Xiang Ye Ming frowned and asked, "Why are they old books? Shouldn't the school buy new books for the sake of students' health?"

Luo Yao looked at him inexplicably and said, "How can the school buy new books if it doesn't have money?"

Xiang Yeming regretted what he just said. According to Luo Yao's description, the place where he stayed didn't seem to be a big city.

"Director Xia, did you just say that this EDA was developed by this little brother?" Dai Guangchao turned his attention to Xia Qing.

"It was developed by him, Luo Yao, who just entered our school as a freshman."

“Freshman year???”

They knew that Luo Yao looked young, but they didn't expect that he was just a freshman.

"Little brother, how old are you?"

"16 is old."

At the age of 16, he developed a complete set of EDA software comparable to Synopsys.

Why does this sound so outrageous?

Peng Li asked in his most amiable tone at this moment: "Little brother, are you really the one who developed this software? Isn't there anyone else who can help?"

Now they have no doubt about the originality and authenticity of the EDA produced by Luo Yao. They just want to know if someone is cooperating with Luo Yao behind Luo Yao's back.

After all, it is huge for one person to develop a complete set of EDA, both in terms of workload and technical challenges.

What does a 16-year-old do?
"I have been imagining it since I was ten years old, and it has been six years now. Before, I just typed out the code. It was not until I went to the East Polytechnic Supercomputing Center that I moved the code into the programming tool."

I go!It started at the age of ten and took six years to conceive!
The people in the conference room had never seen anything so outrageous.

Xiang Yeming even said: "Impossible, how can you, a child, do it without the support of downstream market data?"

"Because I can think."

"Downstream market data is based on user feedback, so I just need to understand the users."

"I will use all the time I spend online to check the reactions of chip factory customers to infer demand."

"It's impossible. Even if you can work backwards on demand, you can't solve all the problems!"

Luo Yao was a little tired of explaining. He looked at Xiang Ye Ming, who was refuting him, and asked, "What's your IQ?"

Xiang Yeming proudly said: "142."

When Luo Yao heard this number, he didn't even bother to pay attention to him. He simply sat down on the chair and asked curiously: "142, it's not even half my IQ. Why do you think I can't do it?"

142, not even half his IQ? !
What, your IQ is 300?
What a great braggart!
He said so, but at this time everyone only dared to complain silently in their hearts and did not dare to express it.

The reason is simple. Luo Yao has a complete set of self-developed EDA, and they have to endure it no matter how dissatisfied they are.

"Luo Yao...it is true that the talented students recruited by our school are better than ordinary college students in terms of ability. In this case, I will ask Mr. Meng to come and take a look before we talk." Xia Qing has a headache for Luo Yao's character, but at this moment she doesn't care. Not so much anymore.

If the EDA developed by Luo Yao is real, then the entire chip market will undergo earth-shaking changes.

After Xia Qing finished the phone call with Meng Xiangping, she received a call from the assistant coach.

"Professor Xia, you have class in the afternoon, and class starts in 10 minutes."

Xia Qing can't care about the school now.

Attend class?

She has more important things here!

"Ask for leave for me, I have something to deal with."

The teaching assistant agreed and hung up the phone, still thinking that Xia Qing never asked for leave, so why did she ask for leave today?
the other side.

After receiving the news, Meng Xiangping came to the conference room. After listening to everyone's reports, Meng Xiangping was shocked and walked up to Luo Yao, who had been silent.

"Little brother, your name is Luo Yao, right? Do you want to sell this software or cooperate in other ways?" Meng Xiangping tried hard to restrain his excitement and looked at Luo Yao expectantly.

"Not for sale."

not for sale?

Meng Xiangping felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.

"I want to continue to engage in technology research and development, but I need someone to help me."

This means wanting to cooperate!
After hearing Luo Yao's words, Meng Xiangping suddenly became hopeful again.

As long as you can make a request, it will be easy!
What he was most afraid of was that Luo Yao would remain silent and ask for nothing. Then he would have no way of knowing what the other party wanted, and it would be difficult to give him what he wanted. "Don't worry, we will definitely provide you with all the help you want. The project team members, resources, and funds will be all available for you. Look at the EDA thing..."

"If you can really do what you say, I am willing to cooperate with you." Luo Yao said lightly. He never listens to how good others brag, he only sees how others will do.

Meng Xiangping said yes excitedly.

Don't blame him for being so emotional. The main reason is that they originally planned to spend five years developing a new EDA, but now, Luo Yao just gave them five years to save them!
How many five years are there in life!

How many five years does a company have?
How many five years does the market have?

There is an advantage if the product is shipped one day in advance, let alone five years!
Meng Xiangping tried to calm down and went out to call Rao Huiling, the technical president of 012 Laboratory.

Half an hour later, Meng Xiangping came back.

"Student Luo Yao, please stay in the park tonight. We have a special rest area here, just like the hotel." Meng Xiangping winked at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing had no choice but to say: "I will explain it to you at the school. Just have a good rest here tonight. I will be here with you."

Although Luo Yao is young, he also knows that he will not be able to get out of here easily after taking out a full set of EDA.

As a large technology research and development company, Huaji must be inextricably linked to the government.

Now that EDA can save the chip market, it is impossible not to alarm the officials.

Thinking of this, Luo Yao said: "Okay, do you want to write test cases? I still have some time to accompany you, and I want to read a book later."

After Meng Xiangping heard this, he hurriedly waved Dai Guangchao over.

"I'll leave the acting manager's test to you. You must cooperate well with Luo Yao!"

After the arrangements were made, Meng Xiangping took the others to another conference room.

"No one can go back today. By the way, you have signed the confidentiality agreement. You cannot reveal anything about Luo Yao and the EDA he developed."

"Do you understand?"

Although everyone was unhappy with Luo Yao's attitude, they all knew the seriousness of the matter at this moment.

They were originally transferred to the EDA department to develop a completely new set of EDA, so they must have a sense of confidentiality.

It's just that they didn't expect that the work would be finished before they were fully on duty.

"Let me go, is our department the worst? The business has not been fully developed, and it will be gone." One person said while making an expression \_(ツ)_/
"That's good. Now it's the finished product. We only need to consider the launch and post-production." Pei Yun revealed a joy as he spoke.

"The people in the test team will probably have to work on the test samples all night tonight. Let's not be idle and sort out everything we can." Peng Li was also very excited, the whole process of EDA!He never dreamed of it!
Meng Xiangping smiled and could completely understand their mood. He gave a few instructions and walked out to find Xia Qing.

"Director Xia, we may need to trouble you." Meng Xiangping said a little embarrassed.

"Is it because of Luo Yao's matter?" Xia Qing replied.

Meng Xiangping nodded and said, "We want to check the monitoring of your school's supercomputing center now. I don't know if it's convenient."

"Director Xia, you also know that we cannot use software of unknown origin, so Luo Yao's matter needs to be investigated clearly."

Xia Qing nodded. She knew that Meng Xiangping was right. The EDA software provided by Luo Yao was for commercial use. Once commercialized, it would involve copyright and patent issues, so Meng Xiangping had to investigate clearly.

"Then you come back to school with me, and we'll go check out the surveillance."

"it is good."

Xia Qing and Meng Xiangping hurriedly drove to East Polytechnic. When she returned to the office to get the pass card issued by the school, her teaching assistant appeared.

"Professor Xia, you came back just in time. The principal is notifying everyone of a meeting."

Xia Qing said quickly: "Ask for leave for me, I have something urgent." After saying that, Xia Qing left.

The teaching assistant had never seen Xia Qing in such a hurry, and he specifically mentioned it when reporting the situation to the principal.

After the principal learned that Xia Qing had taken an afternoon off, he was also worried that there was something wrong with him, so he called to inquire.

"Principal, I'm fine. I'm just busy with a project with Huaji." Xia Qing had no choice but to find an excuse.

Sure enough, after the principal heard that it was the Huaqi project, he stopped asking.

Xia Qing took Meng Xiangping to check the monitoring of the supercomputing center. When they saw that Luo Yao was indeed programming alone in the supercomputing center, their hearts dropped.

"Genius, this is a real genius. Have you seen the speed of his programming? It's almost non-stop!"

Xia Qing, on the other hand, had doubts: "How could he possibly complete such a large amount of work alone?"

Meng Xiangping smiled and said: "Didn't he say that? He wrote down the code by himself before, probably in a notepad, and didn't transplant the code until he came here. He knows how difficult it is to develop EDA on ordinary computers. , so I only found the opportunity when he came to school."

The surveillance showed that Luo Yao had indeed typed the code himself without referring to anything. This really surprised and reassured Meng Xiangping.

You don’t even use github, a must-have artifact for programmers, which means that all Luo Yao’s codes are indeed purely original.

"Director Xia, if I am not mistaken, Luo Yao should be smarter than those of us who have received offers from the "Genius Youth" project!"

"With your words, I feel relieved. This child is not only smart but also hardworking. I hope Mr. Meng will not disappoint me."

"Director Xia, you have brought us such a genius, of course we will cherish it."

"Currently, Mr. Rao has initiated the highest level notification."

Xia Qing's eyes lit up: "You mean..."
