Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The huge lecture hall was already filled with many students.

As a prestigious school with a century-old history, Fuzhou University occasionally has some academics giving lectures, both at home and abroad. Of course, the level of the lectures varies.

And "Zhang Richeng's" resume is naturally among the strongest. As soon as the news of the lecture was announced, the number of applicants exploded.

This is a Mesozoic leader in today's physics community, and he has results lined up for the Nobel Prize.

The best thing is that this undergraduate studied at Fuda. He was admitted to Fuda at the age of 15 and was a disciple of Mr. Yang.

The legend of his resume is no less than that of any so-called "genius".

Zhou Rui is interested in Zhang Richeng for only one reason.

This is the professor who sent him the MIT invitation letter.

After Zhou Rui entered the classroom, he relied on "disguise" to avoid attracting anyone's attention, and even heard a system prompt.

"Entry task [Disguise], experience value +1, current progress (29/100)"

Zhou Rui pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, "Very good, my disguise is perfect."

There was no room left in the front row. Zhou Rui walked to the corner of the last row before he found a few empty seats.

Sit down quietly and wait for the lecture to begin.

While I was scrolling through my phone, someone sat down next to me.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the other party's attire. He was wearing a slightly old-fashioned suit. He obviously didn't look like a student. Zhou Rui subconsciously turned around and took a look.

Zhou Rui was stunned, Dean Zhao?

Dean Zhao was also slightly confused for a second or two, but at such a close distance, he finally recognized it.

Isn't this Zhou Rui?

It’s just that Dean Zhao said that even though he is 70 years old, he feels like he is wearing this outfit!

Zhou Rui smiled awkwardly: "I'm afraid of being recognized."

At this time, a middle-aged female teacher, who was not sure whether she was an instructor or something else, came over and said, "Classmate, this is a seat reserved for school leaders."

Before Dean Zhao could say anything, a big hand patted Zhou Rui's shoulder.

Principal Yang didn't know when he arrived, so he said: "It's okay, Xiao Zhou is with us, we just want to chat."

Dean Zhao and Principal Yang sat on either side of Zhou Rui, one on the left and one on the right, just like General Heng Ha.

With such a posture, it is difficult not to attract the attention of students, and students often turn around and look here.

Zhou Rui sighed helplessly and could only choose to take off his disguise.

To prevent the "vest" from being scrapped.

He took off his black-rimmed glasses, smoothed his hair back, and pulled his shirt out of his waistband.

Zhou Rui returned to his original appearance.

Just dressed a little rustic.

Sure enough, with the combination of the principal and the dean, it was difficult for the students not to look back, and soon there were whispers in the classroom.

"Is that Zhou Rui?"

"Fucking awesome! Sitting between two big guys."

"We are also in school, why is he so showy?"

"Because he has money."

Zhou Rui could only ignore these whispered discussions.

After a while, he hopes that everyone’s discussion will be “Has he developed any new products?” or “Can Mr. Zhou’s drone be cheaper?”

During the waiting time, the three of them couldn't just sit there like this. Zhou Rui said: "Principal Yang is so busy, why do you still come to listen to the lecture?"

Principal Yang said: "I came here because I was busy, so I can take a legitimate rest."

As a university president, I always remember to supplement my academic knowledge and improve my own level. Is there anything wrong with that?

Zhou Rui gave a thumbs up, you now understand this class.

Then he looked at Dean Zhao: "What about you too?"

Dean Zhao said: "I will accompany the principal."

Zhou Rui also gave a thumbs up.

You also understand this class.

Of course, these two people themselves were a little curious. The previous invitation letter put Fuda under some inexplicable pressure.

As for the arrangement of the lectures, Principal Yang did not handle it personally. This trivial matter was not something he could handle.

In short, Zhou Rui, Principal Yang, and Dean Zhao came here more or less because of that invitation letter.

Not only are you here to collect debts, but you are also here to meet the real owner.

Zhang Il-sheng, who has not yet appeared, does not know

Just as he was talking, Zhang Richeng, the protagonist this time, walked in.

As a relatively important lecture, in addition to Zhang Richeng himself, there was also a host, I don't know if he was a student or a teacher. He made an introduction at the beginning and listed Zhang Richeng's various achievements.

Then the lecture officially started.

As a big boss who started from physics and expanded to solve practical problems, Zhang Richeng is indeed very good. If the differences between fields are put aside, his achievements are much higher than that of Dean Zhao, who is an academician.

At least he has the power of "Two Zhaos"!

The participants in this lecture included undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral students, so the lecture was not too detailed, but a discussion-style lecture centered on "Future Prospects of Semiconductor Technology."

This is also the most powerful thing about Zhang Richeng. He has both pure academic achievements and the ability to solve practical problems.

Those who are stronger in theory than him cannot solve practical problems, and those who are more practical than him do not know as much as he does.

In addition, he is a middle-aged handsome guy, so the students are the most attracted to this, and they listen very carefully.

During the question-and-answer session, a student raised his hand and said, "Professor Zhang, to what extent do you think chips will develop in the future?"

Zhang Richeng smiled and said, "Your question is rather general. I can only answer it if you are more specific."

The student said: "Then let's ask: How fast will the development of chips be?"

Zhang Richeng walked on the podium and said:

"This is a good question. We all know that the most advanced high-fabrication wafer on the market is 40nm. However, I can tell you that leading companies already have 28nm technology, but they have not solved the problems of cost and yield. "

This is considered to be a small secret in the industry, and many students opened their eyes wide.

"And if the scope is narrowed to the laboratory level, then the shadow of 14 nanometers has a future. High-end wafers will be rapidly iterated at a rate of two to three years, from 40nm, to 28nm, and then to 14nm. ,7,3”

"Just like the earliest storage technology, it iterated from a few KB to 1 at an extremely fast speed. Now 1T consumer-grade storage devices can already be seen on the market. I vaguely remember that more than ten years ago, a 1 The price is hundreds of dollars”

When he said this, bursts of laughter came from the classroom.

It does sound funny. Now if it falls on the ground, no one will pick it up.

Zhang Richeng changed his tone and said: "But no matter how fast the iteration is, this is not the future of chips. You will find that any once advanced technology is eliminated, not because it cannot be iterated anymore, but because there is a completely different one." Better solutions emerge out of the blue, such as Kodak being defeated by digital cameras, and tanks being defeated by airplanes.”

“I personally think that the future of chips still depends on ‘quantum chips’.”

"Quantum chip?"

Many students below are confused. This word sounds too science fiction.

"Our current wafer-lithography system, no matter how many iterations we make, is just studying how to mine coal faster and burn coal more efficiently. Quantum wafers can be compared to nuclear energy. Once they appear, Its lower limit far exceeds the upper limit of the current route.”

"Don't think it's far away. Technology is being developed step by step. Who would have dared to imagine what it is today 20 years ago? Even mobile phones were not popular 10 years ago. Maybe everyone here will be able to witness or even participate in the advent of quantum chips in the future. "
