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

Chapter 63 Dali will definitely do a miracle! (Seeking for further reading)

"Are you from Shannon Laboratory?" A person walking at the front asked as Luo Yao and the others got out of the car.

After Luo Sheng answered for Luo Yao, the man quickly asked: "Who is Luo Yao?"

Luo Sheng motioned to the young man beside him.

After the other party noticed Luo Yao, he hurriedly said: "Hello, I am the temporary person in charge of this factory, Zhang Shen, and I finally have you here today."

Zhang Shen looked enthusiastic, but Luo Yao seemed not to notice. He just nodded slightly and had no other reaction.

It was freezing today and he just wanted to get inside quickly.

However, Zhang Shen still stopped them, which made Luo Yao extremely depressed.

The temperature in the mountains was already several degrees lower than outside. When the cold wind blew, Zhang Shen felt that his face was about to freeze with laughter, but he couldn't wait for Luo Yao to say a word.

Luo Sheng felt that the scene was extremely embarrassing. He hoped that no one would count on Luo Yao, so he said: "Director Zhang, if you have anything to do, let's go talk first. It's very cold to stand here."

Zhang Shen suddenly realized this and took the group of people to the factory.

"Look, I've forgotten about this. You go in and rest first."

As soon as he entered the factory and was warmed by the heating inside, Luo Sheng's mind turned around. He looked at Zhang Shen and said, "Director Zhang has worked really hard this time. It is thanks to your leadership that such a large factory can be run in the early stage." ah."

Zhang Shen saw the two thin bars and two star emblems on Luo Sheng's uniform, and knew that the other party was also a lieutenant colonel. He said politely: "There is no such thing. The equipment is developed and verified by scientific researchers like Comrade Luo Yao." We just entered the factory after we got it, so we just start working."

"Where is the chip now?" Luo Yao asked with concern.

"Now we have to start the masking process."

"But there is one question that I'm a little unclear about. Could you please answer it?"

Luo Yao always feels weird when someone calls him "you", especially when the person is about the same age as his father.

"You can just call me Luo Yao. What is the question you mentioned?"

"I found that the new chip architecture is different from what I have been exposed to before, so I am a little worried."

"You also know that once the chip is manufactured, if there is a slight problem, a lot of preliminary preparations will be wasted, so I want to confirm it with you, Luo Yao."

The chips they want to build now are related to the survival of the entire chip market next year, which makes Zhang Shen have to be cautious.

Once there is a problem with the structure, wafers, masks, photoresists, etc. will all be wasted.

Zhang Shen was originally the technical director of a chip manufacturing factory in China. After he was transferred here to become the factory director, he was walking on a tightrope every day, fearing that something would go wrong at any step.

"Well, currently ARM can only authorize the v8 architecture, but Huaji didn't want to use foreign architecture when manufacturing, so he developed a set by himself. Pangu EDA's simulation tools have been verified and there are no problems."

It was because it was verified by Pangu EDA that Zhang Shen felt that the matter was a bit serious.

The new EDA verifies the new architecture. If missing data leads to errors in the verification results, isn't he responsible for this?

Zhang Shen, who has always been cautious, could not convince Luo Yao, so he could only reduce the 1 yuan chip that was planned to be tape-out in the early stage to 2000 yuan.

Chip tape-out requires at least several steps of photolithography, doping, electroplating, packaging and testing. Zhang Shen estimates that it will take half a month to complete the first batch of chip manufacturing.

When Hua remembered that Zhang Shen had reduced the number of tape-outs, he didn't say anything. He just told Zhang Shen to finish it as soon as possible.On the second day after Luo Yao arrived, he assigned people from the Shannon Laboratory to be responsible for various aspects, while he read his quantum book on the side.

Shan Xing didn't know what the problem was. The experts sent never came, and Luo Yao couldn't ask questions. When he encountered quantum-related problems, he had to record them aside. At night, through a specially built network, he Inquire.

Because it was a dedicated line, Luo Yao quickly discovered that it was quite convenient to use the factory's network to check academic materials.

You can log in to the official internal academic database to view papers without spending any money.

Luo Yao went to the factory in the morning to check on the situation, held a meeting with people from the Shannon Laboratory, and listened to their feedback on the previous day's operations. In the afternoon, he began to study quantum chips.

Almost every day, Luo Yao lived like this.

One day, when he came out of the factory, he accidentally met the technician in charge of etching who came out for some fresh air.

Luo Yao saw that the other party was wearing thin clothes and reminded him: "You need to wear thick clothes when you go out, you will catch a cold."

"It's okay. It's too hot inside. I'll come out for some air."

Luo Yao was noncommittal and was about to leave when he heard the other party talking to himself: "Do you think we have dumplings to eat during the Chinese New Year?"

Luo Yao wanted to leave, but when he heard the word "New Year" and thought of his family, he stopped unconsciously and answered: "There should be."

The other party smiled and said: "That's great. I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time. We have been busy since the end of the year."

"You know what? I originally thought that our semiconductor industry was going to collapse. Who knew that a god suddenly came out and brought us key technologies. Without him, I would definitely be worrying about what to do at home now and what to do at work in the future. "

Luo Yao asked curiously: "Have you been affected by Scaron's restrictions before?"

"Of course, our factory is small to begin with, and I originally planned to do a career there, but after Scaron issued an order, our factory closed down."

Luo Yao felt that what the other party said was a bit strange. Didn't the government provide subsidies at that time?

Why is it still closed?
Luo Yao asked the question in his mind, and the other party sighed melancholy and said: "Our factory is small, and our cash flow is even more pitiful. Before, we could make a turnover with orders. After there are no orders, we have no money." Once the subsidy comes, it will collapse.”

"But that's okay. The people in our small factory have now found jobs in other factories, and the boss has also started a daily chemical business with his brother-in-law."

"Aren't we all trying to save domestic products some time ago? His brother-in-law's factory was too busy, so he went over to help."

"Although the current ending is not what we wanted, there is no doubt that we have safely passed the most difficult period."

"I'm just looking forward to the new chip being built as soon as possible, so that people who look down on us can see it!" Luo Yao listened to the other party's words silently and asked him: "Do you believe that we can change the current situation by building the chip?"

"That's for sure. I have never seen the architecture of that chip. The equipment used this time is all our own. I believe that where there is a will, there is a way!"

"I don't believe it takes a whole country to build such a chip. It can't compare to foreign chips!"

"What if it really can't be compared?"

The other party glanced at Luo Yao and felt that this guy was trying to argue, but he still said: "Then keep building! Build until you surpass them!"

"Did you know that Yugong moved mountains?"

"If we can't move the mountain, then let our sons and daughters do it. If they can't do it, then let the grandchildren do it. There will be no end to our descendants! I believe that one day, we will be able to move the mountain that stands in front of us." !”

Back in the small town, when Luo Yao first saw the story of Yu Gong, he just felt that Yu Gong was not smart enough and actually asked generations of people to move mountains. Didn't they think about developing technology and using more convenient methods to move the entire mountain? ?

But now, after Luo Yao experienced many troublesome operations such as EDA and photolithography machines, he realized that some things were not as easy to solve as imagined.

The technology he came up with also needs people to digest and understand, then verify, and then apply it on a small scale before it can be promoted in society.

Aren't these things just like Foolish Old Man, you have to do them little by little?
"Don't you believe it?" The other party became anxious when he saw Luo Yao's silence.

"Little comrade, we have arrived at a place with no beginnings and no stores. Remember not to be impatient."

"When spring comes, there will always be good news!"

"Remember, great efforts will definitely produce miracles!"

After seeing Luo Yao nod, he returned to the factory with confidence and continued working.

Luo Yao returned to his room and continued to study quantum chips.

The next day on New Year's Eve, when Luo Sheng came and asked Luo Yao what he wanted to eat, Luo Yao subconsciously replied that he wanted to eat dumplings.

This put Luo Sheng in a difficult position.

He is a pure southerner and does not have the habit of eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year. However, he did not refuse Luo Yao. Instead, after agreeing to him, he led the cooking class down the mountain. In order to avoid being noticed, they specially drove to the busy place. Go shopping in the city.

The kitchen in the factory is equipped with talented people from the cooking class. As long as there is flour, they can make dumpling wrappers.

So when they went to the urban market, they bought raw materials such as pork, beef, carrots and flour, but not ready-made dumplings.

In their words, if Luo Yao wants to eat dumplings, he must prepare it for others, otherwise he will be sorry for his research and development in the mountains and forests.

"Come and take a look! It's a 39-year-old domestic product! Potato chips and crispy rice cakes that children love to eat!"

Luo Sheng thought that Luo Yao and the people in his laboratory were young and would probably want some snacks during the Chinese New Year, so he squeezed to the stall and asked, "Uncle, do you have any potato chips here?"

"Potato chips? Those are the things that foreigners like to eat. Now it is popular for children to eat our own potato chips and crispy rice!"

Luo Sheng was slightly stunned and muttered: "The influence of saving domestic products is so great? Has it even affected the taste of children?"

The stall owner proudly said: "Don't believe it, today's young people are more patriotic than the last. These old brand domestic products have fewer additives and are more reliable to eat! And they are cheap! Who doesn't love such things?"

"Foreign potato chips used to be popular, but now they can't be sold."

Luo Sheng was moved by the stall owner, so he asked the stall owner to choose two large packages of Huaguo's potato chips and rice crackers for him, and then took them back to the mountains.

Although it was New Year's Eve that day, no one dared to rest.

Even the people in the Shannon Laboratory followed the engineers and technicians around. When they were sleepy, they would go to sleep for a while and come back again when they woke up.

They were living in such a dark way that they didn't know it was New Year's Eve until someone reminded them.

In the evening, Zhang Shen arranged the dining table in the plastic shed outside the canteen, and then placed all the tables.

Looking at the steaming dumplings on the table, everyone who has been on the production line feels like they have returned to the human world.

"Everyone has a good meal and drink today! We will work hard tomorrow! We will complete the task one day earlier! We will be able to break through the restrictions imposed on us by others one day earlier!"

"Only in this way can our people straighten their backs and tell others that they are Chinese!"

As soon as Zhang Shen finished speaking, he aroused strong reactions from others.

"We've all eaten dumplings, so let's work hard today!"

"Don't say tomorrow! I'll go back after I finish eating!"

"I'm working overtime today until the first day of the Lunar New Year! We celebrate the New Year in a different way!"

Immediately, everyone stopped talking nonsense and started eating with chopsticks.

Luo Yao took out his mobile phone and looked at the no signal notification on it. He could only put it in his pocket and ate New Year's Eve dinner with others in silence.

That night, after eating the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone returned to their posts, and no one went to rest.

In the land of China, when everyone is celebrating the New Year, there is such a group of people who are working hard to move forward under the moonlight for our future!

Half a month passed quickly.

When the people were returning from the Spring Festival holiday, Longguo's first self-developed chip produced using its own equipment was born.
