Tech Hammer

Ning Wei didn't know that he had become someone else's child in the factory. He didn't even know that more than fifty seconds of his interview video had been edited and appeared on CCTV news, making him look familiar in front of people across the country.

That night, after he finished working on his paper and thought about how to deal with the messy relationships around him, he covered his head and went to sleep.

I got up early the next morning, visited various data as usual, fleshed out the paper, and then submitted the first article on the turbulence algorithm to Science magazine step by step.

According to Lu Dongyi’s suggestion, this article does not have the complete code for the turbulence algorithm. It just needs to point out the implementation of important functions, explain the methods to achieve these functions, and then add detailed laboratory data. This paper It has already been released.

The laboratory has applied for the copyright. In addition to completing the set goals and receiving a bonus, publishing this paper is also a publicity for the upcoming turbulence algorithm and a publicity for the subsequent large-scale public beta.

After finishing all this, it was exactly nine o'clock in the morning. Ning Wei walked out of his workroom with the prepared EDA software project report.

"Mr. Ning, let's go out." The researchers in the laboratory were already in place and greeted Ning Wei when they saw him.

Some things are unacceptable.

Although he is a few years older, everyone can only admire him after studying the turbulence algorithm independently developed by Ning Wei.

"Well, let's go talk to Professor Lu about something." Ning Wei responded.

Yu Xingwei, who was huddled in the corner, kept blinking at Ning Wei.

Ning Wei smiled, raised the printed report in his hand, walked out of the laboratory, and went directly to the seventh floor.

…

"Ning Wei, does the laboratory need anything?"

Lu Changbin was still very enthusiastic, without the slightest airs of an academician. He personally welcomed Ning Wei in, made a cup of tea, and asked enthusiastically.

"There is nothing wrong with the laboratory. Everyone is very helpful. It's just that I have a new project and I would like some more people from the laboratory to be assigned to me. This is my actual project application report." Ning Wei finished straight to the point. , stood up and handed the information in his hand to Lu Changbin.

Lu Changbin was stunned, and subconsciously took the report submitted by Ning Wei. He did not open it directly, but frowned and asked: "New topic?"

So unexpected.

To be honest, it was beyond everyone's expectations that an undergraduate could independently come up with something as high as a turbulence algorithm and implement it.

When Kong Mingde came to cooperate with this project, Lu Changbin just regarded it as a casual game and transferred a few students to help. But who would have thought that Ning Wei would actually succeed in this project.

Are you in charge of a project with great potential, but suddenly you have to start it again?

At this moment, Lu Changbin wanted to open Ning Wei's mind and see what this guy was thinking.

"Yes! I want to make EDA software." Ning Wei nodded.

"EDA?" This time Lu Changbin did not continue to talk to Ning Wei, but focused on the proposal report submitted by Ning Wei.

He read the five-page report very carefully. Lu Changbin studied the five-page report for a full twenty minutes before putting it down.

He closed his eyes, thought for a while, then looked at Ning Wei and said, "Ning Wei, when you made this proposal report, you should already have a clear understanding of the current EDA situation, right?"

Ning Wei nodded and replied: "Yes!"

"Have you used Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor Graphics?"

"We all have a rough understanding of it."

"Then what do you think is the biggest difference between your EDA and these three, or what is better than them?" Lu Changbin asked.

Ning Wei thought for a while and replied: "First, if I can succeed, this will be a software for which I have complete intellectual property rights and patents; second, it will be more professional and targeted, and I will also mention it in my proposal report." Having said that, although this product is not capable of designing and verifying extremely complex large-scale ICs, it is definitely most suitable in the field of smart chips. Therefore, our EDA is more streamlined and flexible."

"Finally, my goal is to make this EDA into a fool-like design software. I will collect as many circuit layout templates as possible and constantly update the engineering library. The ultimate goal is to enable primary school students to learn how to design after reading the instructions. You can design a chip or microcontroller that meets your own requirements according to your own ideas."

Lu Changbin nodded, and it could be seen that Ning Wei was very determined and had a clear purpose.

"Then you should also know the development history of our Chinese EDA software. How difficult is it to develop your own EDA software from scratch? Are you mentally prepared?" Lu Changbin confirmed again.

"No, Professor Lu, to be honest, if I didn't think it was too difficult for one person to make this thing, I wouldn't have wasted a whole night to write a proposal report before coming to you." Ning Wei couldn't bear it. Zhu said.

Does the implication mean that you are so afraid of difficulties?

"This..." Lu Changbin was speechless by these words, but he still had no words to reply.

After all, the turbulence algorithm was completed by Ning Wei almost by himself.

"Okay! Since you are so confident, the laboratory will fully support it. It is still the old rule, you take the invention patent and the first unit of the paper plus communication, and leave the copyright and the first unit of the paper to the laboratory. But I have another one Conditions, if you can agree, we will finalize this project today. If you want people, I will give them to you. If you want money, I will write a report and apply for you!" Lu Changbin said.

"What conditions?" Ning Wei asked.

"You cannot leave the laboratory until this project is completed. Even if you graduate, you must transfer your relationship to the laboratory first. As for where you want to go after the project is completed, the laboratory will not impose restrictions. This is also to ensure that For the sustainability of the project, you can’t leave halfway through the research, right? Since you are so confident in yourself, you shouldn’t be afraid to agree to such a simple condition, right?”

"Of course, I will never delay my future. There is no shortage of PhD candidates in Jiangsu University." Lu Changbin said carefully.

Obviously, so many things in the early stage are all brewing to pave the way for this last condition.

It doesn't even matter whether the project succeeds or not. If you can keep people here, you will definitely make money.

After hearing this condition, Ning Wei hesitated.

If he agrees, it means that he will not be able to take the postgraduate entrance examination this year.

Even if you are confident in yourself, it will take at least a year to win the entire EDA project.

The completion of this project will probably wait until the end of November next year...

But after weighing it in his heart for a moment, the urgency conveyed in his brain still made him grit his teeth, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Unless he suddenly loses the ability to guide his brain, he is confident that he will complete the entire project by December next year.

If you really lose your ability, it would be a good choice to graduate with a Ph.D. without being able to work in the laboratory.

"This, we can't make a verbal promise, we have to sign a contract. After all, this project requires at least tens of millions of R\u0026D investments." Lu Changbin gritted his teeth and said.

He didn't originally plan to invest so much R\u0026D funds, but in order to retain people, he couldn't care less.

Although scientific research funds are very tight, talents are really rare!
