In the conference room, the two parties quickly completed the handover process of encrypted data.

Xu Qingyan first briefly introduced the situation of the innovation center and the division of labor among his three people, and then asked: "Mr. Nie, you are our general technical consultant. May I take you to visit our innovation center first?"

Academician Nie waved his hands indifferently: "Don't worry, please introduce to me the scientific research results of the innovation center in the past eight or nine months since its establishment. I have an idea, and then I can go and see it on the spot."

"yes."

After Xu Qingyan took office, he specifically consulted the opinions of the two deputy directors and made certain adjustments to the division of labor. Deputy director Bai Yanrong was good at optics, so he was in charge of the "Chip Architecture and Precision Optics" research group. The other deputy director An Maofeng was

An expert in electronic machinery manufacturing and with rich experience in chip packaging and testing, he chose to take over the "Microelectronics Processing" research group.

The remaining "chip design software" research group, namely the EDA research group, and the "changing chip manufacturing process and materials" research group are both co-authored by Xu Qingyan.

Xu Qingyan is best at physical material direction, which is basically the most reasonable division of labor.

At this time, Mr. Nie wanted to listen to the report. The two deputy directors, Bai Yanrong and An Maofeng, had no choice but to open the PPT and explain the current status of the two research groups in charge.

Fortunately, the two of them have taken over the research group for more than a week and are basically familiar with the situation. However, the results of these two research groups are really very few. The "Microelectronics Processing" research group is better. Xu Qingyan was originally in charge, and he is responsible for the soft soldering technology.

It has achieved certain results and can still be considered qualified, but "chip architecture and precision optics" is in charge of the original Fang Shiji. Apart from the beautiful PPT, it is basically a blank at the technical level, and the old technology has been repackaged.

Take it out and treat it as a new achievement.

After Bai Yanrong took over, he had cut down nearly half of the PPT, but at this moment, he still felt uncomfortable reading this half-compressed PPT.

Especially seeing Mr. Nie's gloomy expression, Bai Yanrong's back was soaked with cold sweat.

Xu Qingyan sighed and signaled Bai Yanrong to stop, and he said to Mr. Nie regretfully: "Mr. Nie, Director Bai has just taken over this research group for about a week, and there are no new results for the time being. In the future, we must be down-to-earth and serious.

Carry out scientific research diligently and strive to produce results as soon as possible.”

Mr. Nie was indeed very dissatisfied. An Maofeng's PPT was barely eye-catching and had some achievements, but Bai Yanrong's PPT was simply a typical representative of the industry's exaggerated style!

Seeing Xu Qingyan lower his head and admitting his mistake, Boss Nie said with a face: "Okay, let's not mention the topics in those two directions. What about the two research groups you are responsible for?"

Xu Qingyan lowered his head and said: "The research team of 'Changing the Process and Materials of Chip Manufacturing' has only made some progress. I will not read the PPT in detail. I will only select these progress to report to you."

He opened the PPT and briefly explained the achievements made in photoresist materials. This area was originally in charge of Yao Wencheng, and there were some achievements in the research and development of sensitizers (photoinitiators) and photosensitive resins (polymerizers).

Xu Qingyan also admitted that this is the direction he just took over, and he will try his best to focus on chip materials next.

The last thing he reported was the EDA topic, which was his brainchild for the past six months. He knew more about it than his own son. He didn’t use PPT at the moment. He just pulled up a whiteboard and made a report while writing. He learned from the master of EDA

We start from the framework and technical concepts, to the general functions of each sub-module and the current development progress.

Mr. Nie's expression slowly changed from serious and gloomy to dignified.

Although he prefers the direction of computer hardware, he is by no means a layman when it comes to software development. His attainments are not much worse than those of computer professors in ordinary universities. He can understand the main framework, technical concepts, and design ideas of the entire EDA, which are very fresh and

Advanced, and Xu Qingyan's unscripted talk also shows that he really knows the EDA research group well.

After hearing a third of it, most of the anger and dissatisfaction in Mr. Nie's heart disappeared.

At least judging from Xu Qingyan's performance, we can definitely give him a "serious and responsible, hard-working" evaluation.

When he saw Xu Qingyan turn on the projection and demonstrate the compiled EDA internal beta version, his breathing began to become rapid, his eyes widened, and he didn't even realize that his body was straightened.

This... this internal beta version of the new architecture EDA actually has about 90% of the full process functions of chip design!

And this is not a PPT demonstration, but real software running right in front of his eyes!

Seeing Xu Qingyan skillfully demonstrating the entire process of the 14nm process technology from circuit to layout, from design to verification, the densely packed integrated circuit design drawings displayed on the large projection, and the rigorous simulation verification process, Mr. Nie and his entourage

Everyone was shocked and speechless.

Even though this is only an internal beta version, not even a formal beta version. Error prompts will pop up occasionally, and the module library of some PCB designs is not perfect enough. However, the EDA developed by other domestic manufacturers has won too much.

!

Even compared to foreign EDA software, the excellent performance and development potential of this purely domestic, brand-new EDA architecture are simply better than it!

At the end, Mr. Nie couldn't help but stand up, with tears in his eyes.

After Xu Qingyan demonstrated the EDA software, he said respectfully: "Mr. Nie, there are still some functions of our EDA that have not yet been implemented. For example, there are some bugs in the simulation delivery process. In addition, the advanced algorithms in the engineering library are not perfect enough, and some detailed modules still need to be polished.

, the execution efficiency of the code also needs to be improved..."

Xu Qingyan was stunned mid-sentence.

The others were also stunned.

Because they clearly saw Academician Nie's thin face covered with age spots, which was soaked with two lines of tears.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The old man stretched out his hand and held Xu Qingyan's hand firmly. He was so excited that even his voice trembled: "Even if there are such and such shortcomings, it can be developed to such an extent.

It's amazing, no, I should say...it's amazing! I want to ask for credit from the higher ups, you are the heroes of the country! You are the most outstanding scientific researchers in Xia Kingdom!"

It is said that "when you are seventy, you should do what you want without breaking the rules", but Mr. Nie rarely loses his composure in front of outsiders.

If we really want to go back in time, about thirty years ago, he personally led a research team composed of thousands of scientific researchers, devoted themselves to research day and night, and finally saw the domestic supercomputer successfully launched and completed the first round of testing.

, he was so excited that he cried when his performance was enough to enter the top 50 of the world's top 500 supercomputers.

And this time, apart from the time thirty years ago, this was the only time I was moved to tears.

He is very aware of the country's current desire for domestic EDA. Now EDA is monopolized by foreign manufacturers. It is equivalent to a rope tied around the neck falling into the hands of others. If it is tightened at any time, it will be difficult to breathe. If it is tightened any tighter,

, and may even lead to stagnation and decline of the entire industry.

But now, he has seen with his own eyes that the light of hope for domestic EDA has been born, and it will be a dazzling light of hope. In the future, when this complete version of EDA is officially released, it can completely surpass foreign EDA!

Of course, Xu Qingyan also said just now that because there is no foreign chip architecture and interface IP authorization, currently using this domestic EDA, we can only design the chip according to the interface IP rules originally designed and formulated by Huaban Company, but so what? At least

In addition, it has opened up a new future path for domestic chips!

There is a long road ahead, and the replacement of domestic chips in the future is still very long, because once the chip interface IP changes, the motherboard, operating system, etc. must also support the new chip.

But fortunately, the operating system now has the domestic Lime operating system, which can be adjusted independently to adapt to domestic chips!

The manufacturing of motherboards has also been fully localized!

Now that there is this domestic EDA, it can be said that in addition to photolithography machines and chip materials, the soil for the birth of domestic chips is basically mature!

At least the birth of this domestic EDA marks a very critical and important step towards the independent control of domestic chips!

It took a while for Mr. Nie to calm down. He took the tissue handed to him by the person next to him, wiped away his tears, and laughed hoarsely: "I lost my composure for a moment and made you laugh. However, this is indeed a very remarkable progress.

Director Xu, take me to meet EDA’s scientific research team, and I will meet every national hero.”

Xu Qingyan said hurriedly: "We just did our job well. The 'Father of Supercomputing' like you is the real hero of the country, and we are unworthy of it." He then introduced Luo Jian, the chief engineer of the EDA research team.

, and then accompanied Mr. Nie to the office area of ​​the EDA research team.

Mr. Nie asked questions in detail as he walked. Luo Jian and Xu Qingyan accompanied him and quickly answered Mr. Nie's questions.

Having seen with his own eyes the enthusiastic scientific research atmosphere of the EDA research team, Mr. Nie was even more satisfied. However, what really caught his attention was "Mr. Q" who was highly regarded by Chief Engineer Luo Jian.

Mr. Nie asked in confusion: "Mr. Q? Who is this Mr. Q? Is he here?"

Luo Jian couldn't hide his admiration and said: "Mr. Q is a technical expert arranged by the superiors to guide our EDA research group. We don't know his true identity, let alone whether he is a person or a team. But Mr. Q is our EDA

The soul of the research team, the entire EDA main framework, design ideas, main rules of each module, and advanced algorithms in the engineering library are almost all completed by Mr. Q. Our team is only responsible for refining and implementing Mr. Q’s ideas, and finally passed

Lime intelligent programming is just converted into code.”

Only then did Mr. Nie understand. It turned out that Mr. Q was a member of the mysterious expert team above who only had code names.

As a senior academician of the Academy of Engineering, he naturally knew that there was indeed a group of unsung heroes with amazing strength above them, but they never showed up or appeared in news reports. The true identities of these people may be some secret research institutes with hidden secrets.

The technical staff here may also be public professors or academicians, but the public professional fields are not important. What is really important is that scientific research results involving high-end and sophisticated fields will be participated in as code experts; of course, some are "

He was born in "Yeluzi", but he has a super genius with extraordinary talents.

These people do not want to reveal their identities for various reasons, but use code names instead, which is mysterious and unpredictable.

Senior academicians like Mr. Nie don't know the true identity of any code expert. It is estimated that the number of people in the entire Xia Kingdom who have this list of code experts' true identities can be counted in two slaps.

But...are there such powerful EDA experts in China? Or are they poached from abroad?

"Mr. Q..." Mr. Nie murmured and repeated this name. This name will not appear in the research and development history of domestic EDA, but in top-secret files, their outstanding contributions to the country will definitely be recorded!

They are the real "Fathers of Domestic Chips"!

…

After Mr. Nie returned, he quickly wrote a report and submitted it.

Soon after, this report was placed on Uncle Yang's desk.

When Uncle Yang returned to the office after the meeting, he heard his secretary Lu Xinping mention Mr. Nie's report, so he put aside other work at hand and started reading it first.

In this report, which is more than ten pages long, Mr. Nie did not hesitate to praise the domestic EDA developed by Xu Qingyan’s team, calling it a milestone achievement in the development of domestic chips. He also implicitly stated that the heroes behind the scenes

He should be treated as a hero of the country.

Uncle Yang put down the report and couldn't calm down for a long time. He was excited, happy, and unspeakably proud. Because he trusted those two children at the beginning and decisively gave Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun the code name "Q" to join EDA.

He is the one in the research team.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although I did not expect these two children to achieve such amazing results at the beginning.

"From domestic operation to domestic EDA, how much surprise do you two... still want to give me and the country?" Uncle Yang looked at the distant sky and said softly: "Come back soon, my heroes of the country."

He turned around and his eyes fell on the line at the end of Mr. Nie's report where the domestic EDA software suggested the name "Qi Guang".
