Chapter 471: Expert codenamed Q(1/2)
Qin Ke's spirit was greatly boosted.
The task of chip technology has finally arrived! Sure enough, I guessed right, branch technology will definitely have tasks coming down, but the time is uncertain.
This also means that the "artificial intelligence" branch technology, which has been stagnant for a long time, will definitely have new tasks in the future.
The way to trigger a new task may be to encounter an event that happens to be related to it. For example, this time Teacher Xu came to ask for help with the EDA algorithm, and the system directly issued a chip task related to EDA.
Of course, in addition to understanding these details, what excites Qin Ke the most is the reward of the mission. He actually has S-level knowledge! And it is the entire production process of a new type of carbon crystal composite nanomaterial suitable for 1nm chips!
What is the concept of 1nm process technology?
In fact, the current international mainstream chips use silicon-based materials, and the physical limit of the process technology can only reach 7nm!
Because a silicon-based transistor is composed of a source, a drain and a gate, the gate is responsible for the flow of electrons and identifies the two binary signals of 0 and 1 through the "on and off" action. However, when the transistor gate length is less than 7nm
At this time, the electrons inside have a high probability of producing a quantum tunneling effect, that is, the electrons will pass through the "wall" that they are originally unable to pass through, showing an uncontrolled situation.
The most basic binary signals of 0 and 1 are uncontrollable, so why are they used to make chips?
Recently, thanks to a newly developed complementary metal oxide semiconductor transistor "Fi" (translated as "Fin Field Effect Transistor"), the gate length of the transistor has been greatly shortened, and 5nm has begun to enter the mass production stage.
But even under Fi technology, the chip manufacturing process limit is only 3nm. Whether it is the fin distance problem, the short channel effect problem, or the thermal effect problem, it cannot be solved, so the more advanced surround gate transistor (GAA)
was born, compressing the process technology to 2nm in one fell swoop. Currently, GAA technology is only used on a small scale and cannot be truly mass-produced.
The 1nm process technology can no longer ignore quantum effects, and the quantum tunneling effect will become the norm. It can be said that 1nm is basically the boundary between traditional digital mode chips and quantum chips. It is said that those that can achieve the 1nm process technology are doped with molybdenum disulfide.
The new type of carbon nanotubes only exists in laboratory research and is still far away from being commercially available, let alone commercial mass production.
The S-level knowledge now produced by the system is actually a new type of carbon crystal composite nanomaterial suitable for 1nm chips? And this is definitely a new type of composite nanomaterial that can stably make chips!
This is also the most perfect and extreme material that can be achieved under the traditional chip design framework, and it can also lay the foundation for further quantum chips!
Whether it is for his own goal of designing an artificial intelligence robot, or for solving a stuck problem for the country, Qin Ke is determined to gain this S-level knowledge!
And he felt that the difficulty of this task would not be too high, because when the system released the task, it also gave him a piece of information about the main ideas of the new architecture EDA, as well as dozens of core ideas of the algorithm library.
This is similar to the original task of developing an operating system, which is a basic task with certain guidance.
So after Qin Ke came to his senses, he said to Xu Qingyan readily: "Teacher Xu, Qingjun and I can participate in the development of EDA. But I have a request."
Xu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe it was because the young man in front of him had created too many miracles. He always had inexplicable confidence in Qin Ke: "What request? Just ask me if I can do it."
"Qingjun and I will not publicly participate in the EDA development project this time. We will only contact you through a single line for all work. If we can really produce any specific results, it will only be in your name. That's okay.
no?"
Xu Qingyan was stunned, then shook his head firmly and said: "The scientific research results you made are of course yours, how can it be in my name?"
Qin Ke knew Teacher Xu's upright and stubborn character, so he had to negotiate good terms at the beginning: "Teacher Xu, we are famous enough now. If we have any big results in EDA and make them public, we will not be able to meet with Congress in the future."
There will be more trouble. I also want to have the opportunity to take Qingjun to go abroad to win a few awards and travel a few times. I hope you can understand."
Xu Qingyan is naturally also aware of the international community's technological blockade of Xia State. Qin Ke and his two men previously programmed the Lime operating system, which has attracted a lot of international attention. As a result, Qin Ke's last lecture at Princeton had to be reviewed and approved at all levels. I heard that
It is said that many measures were taken a month in advance and a lot of manpower was arranged to covertly protect Qin Ke's safety. Only then did Qin Ke finally make the trip and shine at the academic lecture at the General University, bringing glory to the country.
If Qin and Ke can really solve EDA's algorithmic problems this time, once word spreads about it, it will certainly be a great fame and achievement, but it will also arouse more fear. In the future, it will be even more dangerous and difficult for the two of them to go abroad to participate in academic exchanges.
Xu Qingyan was silent for a while and then asked: "You two have a single line of contact with me and do not need to communicate with other engineers. Are you confident in solving this algorithm problem?"
"Yes, but I hope to get all the information in your hand. You don't have to worry about the secure transmission of data. I will send you a software. All files will be transmitted through this software and will be automatically encrypted. There should be no one in the world."
It can be cracked."
Although Qin Ke does not specialize in computer security, the architecture of the Qing Ning operating system itself is extremely secure. As long as Xu Qingyan also uses the Qing Ning operating system, and the entire transmission process is encrypted and controlled by the artificial intelligence "Shimmer", there is no need to worry at all.
The problem of data leakage.
Seeing Qin Ke's confidence, Xu Qingyan finally made a decision: "Okay, I will pass all the information to you in the way you said, and I will only contact you through a single line." But he frowned and said: "These results are not enough.
It should be under my name. I am not good at algorithms, nor am I good at learning by faith. If it is under my name, it will arouse suspicion."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Ke thought of a way: "Teacher Xu, do you think this will work? You can submit an application for technical assistance. I'm here
Contact Uncle Yang directly and ask him to arrange for a fictitious technical expert to come down, and all our results will be under the name of that fictitious technical expert."
Xu Qingyan asked curiously: "Uncle Yang?"
Qin Ke asked Ning Qingyun to find Uncle Yang's business card and hand it to Xu Qingyan.
Xu Qingyan's eyes jumped when he saw the name and position above. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun could actually talk directly to such big figures in charge of science and technology and still treat them as uncles? Even he had only seen this person when the Innovation Research Center was established.
It was just "Uncle Yang", not even a chance to shake hands.
However, remembering that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun donated the Lime operating system, it is not too difficult to understand that it is not difficult to establish a friendship with such a big figure in charge of technology.
Xu Qingyan nodded and said: "Okay. Just follow the method you said. I will naturally keep the true identity of this virtual technology expert a secret, but Teacher Jiang knows that I asked you two for help..."
"Teacher Jiang is our teacher, so there is no need to hide it from him."
"Okay." Xu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, and after finalizing the details with Qin Ke, he said goodbye and left.
Ning Qingyun frowned slightly: "Qin Xiaoke, I'm not good at computer software algorithms either."
Qin Ke smiled. Not to mention that Ning Qingyun had learned programming in high school and participated in the development of the Qingning operating system. He had a considerable foundation. Even if he didn't, Qin Ke relied on "thinking resonance" to let Ning Qingyun master the theory of algorithms.
There won't be any difficulty.
Moreover, the so-called algorithm is actually a systematic method to describe the strategic mechanism for solving problems, that is, a series of instruction processes to solve problems. For Ning Qingyun, who is good at using mathematical modeling to solve problems, he only uses mathematical modeling to supplement it.
With modular thinking, you can quickly become an expert in algorithms.
As for the most critical idea of the EDA algorithm, he already has a copy in his brain. All he needs is to perfect it and compile it into code.
He and Ning Qingyun were responsible for improving the algorithm ideas and converting the specific algorithms into codes, which could be handed over to the artificial intelligence Shiguang.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't take much time and energy to solve something that seems complicated and difficult.
What is really difficult is what is required in the system task, "to perfect the first purely domestic EDA software." This is the reason why Qin Ke asked Xu Qingyan to send him all the current EDA data.
Simply solving the problem of the algorithm engineering library will not complete the task.
Qin Ke looked at the time and saw that there was still about half an hour before the afternoon class, so he first explained some knowledge about "algorithms" to Ning Qingyun through "thinking resonance".
During class in the afternoon, Qin Ke sent a message to Uncle Yang's mobile phone: "Uncle Yang, Qingyun and I have some important matters that we would like to communicate with you in person. When is it convenient for you?"
Uncle Yang replied after a while: "If you two are free, come to my house for dinner in the evening. I will ask Xiao Lu to drive to school to pick you up."
Dining at home is a treat only those who are quite close to you receive.
Qin Ke felt warm in his heart when he thought of Uncle Yang's care for himself and Ning Qingyun. No matter for whatever reason, whether he admired them or was optimistic about their future development, at least Uncle Yang's status at this time could be like this.
It's really rare to treat two people kindly.
Qin Ke replied to the text message and agreed, then called his assistant Fang Yongtang and asked her to help purchase some high-end fruits and vegetables as gifts as soon as possible.
That night, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun followed Secretary Lu to Uncle Yang's house.
Uncle Yang's home is a typical old-style courtyard house, but it is elegantly decorated. Uncle Yang's wife was not at home because she happened to be on a business trip.
When Uncle Yang saw Qin Ke carrying fruit, he said displeasedly: "Nonsense, what kind of fruit are you bringing to uncle's house?"
Qin Ke smiled and said: "Uncle Yang, if you want to teach Qingyun a lesson, she must buy it. I have already said that Uncle Yang is just like our relatives, so there is no need for this trick, but Qingyun insisted, Yang
Uncle is kind to us, but we can't be shameless and go to eat. Isn't it appropriate to bring some fruits to honor our elders? Look, my wife has spoken, can I not listen?"
Ning Qingyun unexpectedly and innocently looked at Qin Ke with her eyes wide open at first, wondering how he could "put the blame" on her. After hearing this, she realized that the bad guy was deliberately teasing him. The last words "My dear wife"
"These four words made even the ears of this tender-skinned girl blush.
Seeing Ning Qingyun's shy look, Uncle Yang couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, put the fruit down, otherwise you kid might come up with some crooked ideas to bully Qingyun. Qingyun is an honest person.
Girl, I’m not as fussy as you are.”
Qin Ke's joke made the atmosphere lively.
Secretary Lu secretly admired Mr. Yang. Leader Yang was usually a serious person. His glare during a meeting could make people break out in cold sweats, but Qin Ke coaxed him into smiling. This Qin Ke was really not simple.
Fortunately, Qin Ke is destined to take the scientific research route, otherwise Secretary Lu would be a little worried that his position would be replaced by Qin Ke in the future.
Dinner was cooked by the nanny and consisted of home-cooked stir-fries. Qin Ke kept the atmosphere relaxed with his witty remarks during the dinner.
During the dinner, Uncle Yang asked about their studies and scientific research. When he heard Qin Ke mention the development of five new types of tomato seeds, his eyes lit up and he asked again and again. Finally, he said to Secretary Lu: "Xiao Lu, please contact me tomorrow."
Green Lemon Technology, take a look at where their patent process is, and help speed up the progress. Such a good thing that benefits the country and the people, the sooner it can be implemented, the better."
He thought for a while and then ordered: "After the patent is implemented, contact several of the largest seed companies in the country to see if any of them are interested. Then contact Qing Ning Technology and conduct a pilot as soon as possible. If appropriate, promote it.
"
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were overjoyed. With these two words from Uncle Yang, their scientific research results in hybrid breeding would definitely be promoted and applied as quickly as possible.
Qin Ke blinked and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, do you really believe in us?"
"I may have to ask a few more questions about other people's scientific research results. I feel very relieved about the work you two are doing."
I have to say that the elder is the elder, and his words make people feel like spring breeze.
After the meal, Uncle Yang took the two of them to the study. Qin Ke took the initiative to take the tea-making tools and began to make tea skillfully.
Uncle Yang said unexpectedly: "Qin Ke, do you know how to make tea? The technique is good, did you learn it specially?"
Qin Ke made tea and handed it to Uncle Yang and Ning Qingyun, and said with a smile: "I learned some when I was a child, and now I have a roommate from Chaoshan in the same dormitory. He likes making tea the most and has received authentic tea art education. I also
