272 If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools

Really, when Apple puts that picture openly on its official website with full confidence in the most conspicuous place, it is destined that China will not be peaceful this Spring Festival! The linkage across tens of thousands of kilometers has always been so novel and interesting, and when the Internet becomes a real point of contention in the public opinion field, even various hot searches will appear extremely interesting.

Everyone is concerned about Apple's supply of its own CPU to Huawei, and more about the advantages and disadvantages of the next generation of Huawei mobile phone products and Apple products. At this time, we must also care about whether Apple's car will be directly defeated by the arrogant Tesla in the electric car market.

It's outrageous. If calculated according to the Chinese Lunar Year, this is the second time that Tesla has been very passively pushed to the hot search by netizens in the same year. The first time because the founder posted a bold statement about landing on Mars within five years, and within thirty years, a kitten that exists on the Internet used hundreds of Weibo posts to make Tesla passively hit the hot search.

This time Apple posted a picture, and everyone started to collectively discuss the issue of which is better and worse, Apple or Tesla's car manufacturing capabilities. This issue is not to be discussed. After all, Apple has only built mobile phones before, and even concept cars have not met everyone. Tesla has sold more than one million smart electric cars worldwide, but it really can't stand the picture Apple released is really too cruel!

Tesla is indeed very powerful in the field of electric vehicles. All three electrics will be blown to the sky. So the question is, can Tesla's proud battery system consisting of 18650 battery cells run 1 or 99 kilometers? Can it realize L4 autonomous driving?

Originally, countless netizens on the Internet were still discussing very rationally whether Apple could really make the awesome pictures, but the Internet is always very easy to be attracted by a small group of people. When a group of Tesla fans began to mock Apple's PPT car manufacturing, they came into contact with countless serious Apple fans who were angry.

So the war that will never be missing on the Internet began like this. Fans of the two major technology companies began to argue with each other in various ways. Tesla fans could hold on to PPT to build cars, while Apple fans painted the last sentence in the picture as a key point and popularized science everywhere. By the way, they did not forget to make a fool of themselves, which Tesla has promoted for many years. In the end, they only dared to say that they were assisted driving...

Later, the helms of the two major companies were also compared. A small number of Apple fans began to use the Weibo posts posted in March to mock the bulls that Lao Ma could not only immigrate to Mars, but also circle three times in the solar system. They also came up with detailed arguments to prove how rigorous and successful Tim Cook is. For example, this CEO is the most magical supply chain management master on the earth. His precise control of the market is beyond everyone's imagination, so Apple will never be aimless.

Special fans can give examples of the final surrender of a group of big men who entered the new energy vehicle industry. For example, the once very famous person who suffocated for his dreams has long built the most advanced electric car on the earth through PPT, but countless years have passed, not only has the big man not been able to look back, but the electric car on the PPT has not really appeared in the public's sight. As for Lao Ma, although he sometimes speaks a little willful, his Rocket Company has already sent Tesla into space.

The most depressing thing during this period was probably those netizens who were both Apple fans and special fans. Seeing the two teams quarreling on various Internet platforms, it was so annoying. But the combat effectiveness of the big guys on both sides was extremely amazing. When they were red-eyed, the so-called Li Zhongke could be directly labeled with various labels that made people feel unhappy when they saw it. But all this happened at the node where the Chinese New Year should have been happy...

Yes, just when the entire network was very lively because of Apple's strong official announcement of cart pushing, Chinese people also ushered in the most festive day of the year!

This Spring Festival is also very special for the Ning family. This is the first time that the family has celebrated a festival outside Yancheng. Especially for the festival, there is not only a family of three, but also a daughter-in-law. Lao Ning and Ning's mother also hung the Spring Festival couplets at the door early, and the refrigerator at home was stuffed with various ingredients.

Ronnie Ledun and Princess Isabel and his group climbed the mountain together the next day, leaving the capital with Yan Ming and rushed directly to Shenzhen City. After visiting Huawei, they set off from Shenzhen City Airport and returned home directly. The next day after climbing the mountain, Ning Wei officially began to enjoy his New Year's holiday.

Ning Wei knew about the quarrels on the Internet. Even if he was resting, he rarely went online. With the little public opinion assistant in March, such a large amount of discussions could not be missed. However, Ning Wei did not choose to speak out. Although countless people @ him on Weibo and sent him private messages, there were even media at the provincial level or above who found him round the bush, hoping that Ning Wei could express his opinion, but they were all firmly rejected by Ning Wei.

The reason is very simple. It is almost impossible to discuss rationally on the Internet. No matter what he says, it will definitely not satisfy the fans on both sides. During the Chinese New Year, who is interested in making a statement because of such a nonsense and being scolded on the Internet for no reason?

Let March do a popular science. You may have to list hundreds of pages of paper to tell the parties to the debate how to view these scientific issues. For example, the relationship between battery capacity and energy density, the function of the catalyst, how the anode structure of the battery affects the energy density of the battery, where is the core key points of L4 level autonomous driving, what information does the machine brain use to determine what measures should be taken when encountering complex road conditions, and what mathematical theories are involved in this...

In fact, it doesn’t take much effort to get it done. The key is that no one can understand it if it is released, and it may even misinterpret his meaning in various ways.

The most important thing is that Ning Wei is happy to see this kind of argument. Let the two sides argue loudly. It is best to have a bigger fight, give him time to do something silently, and then successfully amazed everyone. This is great. He has promised Liu Wei that he should do something big, and before the real thing is made, he should be dormant.

Ning Wei really wanted to comment on the deal between Huawei and Apple. After all, it was rare that such direct competitors reached an agreement. Both parties felt that they had made a profit and achieved the so-called win-win situation. This was very rare! Ning Wei felt that he could directly blow up this kind of cooperation attitude! Unfortunately, although the outside world was full of news, it was quarrel, but the two large companies always remained silent and did not respond to these news at all, so they could only give up.

In short, being happy during the New Year is the king!

...

On New Year's Eve dinner, Liu Wei, who was still working overtime, was dragged down by Ning Wei, and had a lively New Year's Eve dinner with his family of five. Yes, even March has a seat. Ning Wei used his mobile phone to call out March and fixed it on the table with a stand, allowing the kitten living on the Internet to participate in the feast. Liu Wei and Ning Wei also made an exception and accompanied Lao Ning to drink two taels of white wine.

The meal was from five o'clock to seven o'clock, until Ning Wei's sister-in-law who had returned to her hometown sent a video, which made it even more lively. Ning Wei also met his future mother-in-law in the video. He could feel that the mother-in-law on the opposite side carefully cleaned up when posting the video. She was not luxurious in clothes, and her face was full of traces of time. But the eyebrows and eyes were still somewhat similar to Chenshuang.

The atmosphere reached orgasm at this time. After drinking two taels of liang Ning Wei took the phone, she said without thinking, "Mom..."

In the opposite direction, the mother of Jiang was surprised. Jiang was flushed on both sides, and Ning's father smiled with a smile, and rolled his eyes to Ning's mother with anger and understanding. Then, Ning ignored Jiang's clothes and pulled him down, and said to Jiang Chenshuang with a straight face, "It's not wrong, I'm calling you this mother early, I'll call you like this sooner or later."

Then he faced the phone camera and emphasized: "Don't worry, mom, I will definitely take good care of Chenshuang for you!"

Then the phone was sent to Ning's father. After saying hello to his future in-laws, Ning's mother took the phone and the two mothers started chatting.

The dinner was almost over here. Ning's mother, who was already enthusiastic, held her cell phone and started chatting with her future mother-in-law. Lao Ning pulled Liu Wei and started to brag about his awesomeness. Speaking of his brilliant experience when he was young, classmate Jiang blushed and went to help Ning Wei to clean up the leftovers on the table. She left the kitten in a daze at the dinner table. As a dormant cat, she couldn't quite understand why she summoned it on this day.

The whole day of celebration was spent like this. The Ning family did not have the habit of staying up to New Year. When they were tired at night, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Tian Ningwei watched his mother and classmate Jiang enter the room. That's all, but when the door was closed, my mother gave Ning Wei a meaningful smile.

Of course, for Ning's parents, I thought this year would be the most leisurely Spring Festival, but Ning Wei also said that it would be enough to take Chenshuang to visit the tutor. So Ning's mother also began to discuss with Ning's father whether to wait for the two little guys to take wedding photos. Taking advantage of the Spring Festival holiday, she would take her children and classmate Jiang to her hometown to let the in-laws feel at ease and set the matters of the two children.

However, when I was in the first year of junior high school, I realized that they underestimated their children's face and had a new understanding of Ning Wei's current status. In the past, they only knew that their son had a great future, but in fact, there was no idea of ​​how promising the future between the two old people, but this year's recurrence gave them a relatively accurate understanding.

Ning Wei's mobile phone is super busy, and there are endless visitors at home. Moreover, in the eyes of the two old people, these visitors are all big names, such as lecturers, professors, executives of a company, bank presidents, and even an academician named Tan and the school leader came to visit together, sitting down and pulling his son to have a chat.

These people not only dress well, have a strong aura, gentle face, and speak very nicely, and have really been in contact with each other. This completely made Ning's mother lose her mind about making the Spring Festival holiday, and she also understood why Ning Wei changed her words in the video yesterday, which was to reassure the Jiang family.

Ning's mother and Ning's father are not very educated. They only know that Ning Wei's achievements are very powerful. There is no concept of how powerful they are. Ning Wei rarely talks about what he is doing in front of them. The only thing they know is that their son won a big prize, made a lot of money, and could be on the rich list in the future. But now it seems that not to talk about whether the money is not the case. What his son is doing is the most important, which can make many big people bow down.

This also made Ning's mother very pleased. Although she often felt a little bit mischievous when Ning Wei did some things, her son was still very delicate and gentle at some critical moments. This is great. As a mother, she really doesn't want Ning Wei to be able to make a fortune every moment, but she wants Ning Wei to be safe and stable. After observing these days, Xiao Jiang is really a very delicate and good girl who is good at taking care of people. She also feels at ease when she handed Ning Wei to classmate Jiang.

...

Jiangcheng University, Software Laboratory. Most of the members of the entire EDA project team this year have no chance of holidays. Of course, everyone is not very resentful, because they have money to work overtime this New Year, and the overtime pay is really not expensive. If you check in all the seven-day holidays, you can get about 23,000 yuan, which is enough to motivate everyone's enthusiasm.

That’s right, after Ning Wei escaped from the EDA project last year, it does not mean that the project was abandoned. On the contrary, after a year of development, the minimalist EDA project has been developing well. With the spring breeze that has been accepted by the world by the turbulence algorithm, the utilization rate of this basic design software is getting higher and higher.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that both parties attach great importance to this project. In particular, Huawei's chip design department will continue to make requirements for its specific needs and provide software teams, and then both sides will continue to promote the research and development of this EDA software around these needs. By solving those actual needs, the technicians in the entire department have indeed given a lot of honor.

The first EDA software in China that can solve chip design problems may be completed in their hands. Even colleagues who make similar software have begun to visit and learn in the laboratory. Professor Han, the current head of the EDA software project team, has also been invited to give reports everywhere. This straightforward professor has to mention the story of almost every report that he was pulled into the project team that year, but was actually not optimistic about this project, but was slapped in the face...

The effect is also very obvious. Almost all EDA software people in China probably know that Dr. Ning, who is now in full swing, proposed that China should make its own EDA software and put it into practice. Although some people strongly opposed it at that time, the undergraduate program was completed in life.

However, the old professor who strongly opposed this project became the head of the minimalist EDA project after Ning Wei went to Yanbei University to study for a doctorate. A legendary historical story may appear in textbooks a hundred years later, and the educational significance can be interpreted in a thousand ways according to the thoughts of the questioner...

Of course, there is nothing to say about these. Ning Wei and Lao Han's personalities are actually very strong in everyone's opinion. Moreover, Lao Han is also very open-minded. Although the world is bragging to Ning Wei, Professor Han has never contacted Ning Wei in private. Although the two added WeChat and left each other's communication numbers, even during festivals, Professor Han did not send a message to Ning Wei.

But he couldn't help it these two days.

Because these New Years Days, a pre-issue version is set up in the version management server of the minimalist EDA software through a new high-authority account, and this pre-issue version is undergoing version changes with an extremely exaggerated efficiency. The version changes are being performed twice a day, and the component library is constantly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the head of the EDA project, Lao Han naturally has the greatest management authority, but he only has the authority to read this pre-release version of the software. This is forgot, and what surprised him even more was that after this version of minimalist EDA was run, he even didn't understand the arrangement of components and groups in the component library...

When this happened, Lao Han immediately contacted the business docking person on Huawei, but learned that this pre-issue version was not uploaded by Huawei. Then there is no need to ask. Although Ning Wei quit the minimalist EDA project team a year ago, he also has an administrator account, which can create a new account in the version server. But where should I play this?

Unable to resist the curiosity, Lao Han finally decided to call Ning Wei to ask clearly.

The phone number was quickly connected, but no one answered. After calling again, no one answered. He sent a video on WeChat, but no one answered it. There was no way out, so Lao Han simply sent a message on WeChat.

At noon, I finally called.

"Professor Han, I'm sorry. I'm just taking a wedding photo and I didn't carry the phone with me. I just saw your problem."

Wedding photos taken on the third day of the Chinese New Year...

After hearing this, Han Wenqing felt a little dizzy. This young man really doesn’t like to play according to common sense! After sighing, he felt a little envious. Ning Wei just graduated for a year from undergraduate studies, so he is already planning to get married?

Although the two did not contact each other frequently, Lao Han often paid attention to some things about Ning Wei. He also knew that Ning Wei found a girlfriend after going to Yanbei University. It was not Han Wenqing's gossip. It was mainly because the incident was a big deal at that time. First, he had a scandal with the princess of a country. It is said that the whole of Europe was sensational. Then Ning Wei officially announced on Weibo that he had a girlfriend at Yanbei University.

At that time, countless people turned into detectives, hoping to find the lucky girl. Later, the photos of the two dating together were exposed. Lao Han also saw the appearance of classmate Jiang on the Internet. Looking at the photos, he was indeed a very lovely girl, young and exquisite. In addition, he was admitted to Yanbei University undergrad, which means that his IQ must be extremely high, and the two were considered a perfect match. Unexpectedly, it seemed that it had not been long before he had started taking wedding photos?

"Oh, Xiao Ning, then congratulations! When will the banquet be held, please notify me." Professor Han said sincerely.

"Haha, Professor Han, that's a must, and it will definitely not save you money! By the way, I've read your question. The pre-issue version of EDA software is a circuit design version that uses new technologies and new materials, and it's not available yet. You don't have to worry about it. The components in the component library and the groups are also the most ideal three-dimensional path design, and the subsequent changes will definitely be made based on the specific product."

"New technology? New materials?" Han Wenqing was a little confused.

"Yes, chip materials have been innovated, and the previous design software will naturally not keep up with the times, so we have to make the tools in advance. This pre-release version is specially developed for the design of new materials semiconductors." Ning Wei naturally answered.

Han Wenqing knew that Ning Wei liked to do some big things, such as when he developed the turbulence algorithm, he launched this EDA project again. But how long has it been since Ning Wei wanted to subvert the development direction of electrical engineering from the bottom of the matter?

People who don’t do this may not know how difficult this is. But Han Wenqing just happens to be studying this industry. He naturally knows what new materials really represent if there are really new materials to replace silicon semiconductors now. In fact, there are countless laboratories around the world who are trying to use new materials to replace silicon to become a new generation of semiconductor materials. However, considering the earth’s resource content and the difficulty of preparing semiconductor materials, silicon is still the overlord of semiconductors in this world.

Silicon elements are everywhere and cheap. A complete upstream and downstream industrial chain has been formed for silicon-based semiconductor technology around the world. Everyone is used to designing various semiconductor products on this basis.

If we can really design better new materials to replace silicon on a large scale and become the first choice for the next generation of semiconductor materials, it will first represent the overall reshuffle of the entire semiconductor industry. Now the powerful giant company will most likely decline from prosperity. The various patent barriers that were previously applied for by those giant companies have become waste paper.

The most important thing is that the chip structures designed for silicon-based chips will also be swept into the garbage dump of history. This affects more than just semiconductor giants such as Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, etc. It also includes the entire upstream and downstream industry of track chips.

For example, ASMAI, a dominant giant in the field of lithography machines; AMAT, LAM, TES, and Huaxia Huake International, which produces etching machines; TSMC and Samsung Semiconductor; and even the three EDA software kings in the field of chip design, Synopsys, Cadene and Mentor Graphis; followed closely by chip design companies and chip packaging factories all over the world...

After all, materials have changed, packaging technology will also change. The applications in the entire semiconductor field are not only mobile phones, computers, tablets, cars, smart homes, robots, aircraft, satellites, spacecraft, and all kinds of equipment that require semiconductors in the future.

In that era when industrial segmentation was not so exaggerated, the emergence of new materials would not have had such a big impact. However, in this era when humans could no longer leave the network and semiconductor equipment, if there were really new materials that could replace silicon, it would really suffocate countless people!

At least at this time, Han Wenqing felt that she was really starting to suffocate for her dream!

If this happens, Minimalist EDA software, as the first software that can use new materials to design semiconductor chips, may become a must-have chip design software that is popular all over the world. As the person in charge of the post-Minimal EDA project, although he actually did nothing in this work, the history book always has to mention his name when it describes this paragraph.

"Mr. Xiao Ning, are you serious?"

"What's the point of being serious or not? Let's try it. I actually said that when we made our own EDA software. No matter whether it can be successful or not, we have to try it first. If it succeeds, it will be successful. If it doesn't succeed, it will be accumulated. But I think it's very likely to be successful, so Professor Han, you have to work hard! Oh, let's not talk about it, I'll take a few bites of rice and take five sets of clothes later in the afternoon! I tell you, taking wedding photos is really a physical job! Goodbye, Professor Han!"

"Yeah, goodbye!"

After saying that, the opposite side quickly hung up the phone, leaving Han Wenqing holding her phone and looking at the pre-issue version on the server in a daze!
Chapter completed!
