I Am the President of the University

"Professor, this professor at Guanghua University is of such high standard."

Carter's eyes were a little confused. As a representative of the young generation of eth, he was awarded a tenured full professor before he was forty, so his ability was naturally not to be underestimated.

Listening to Professor Ren Hong's report on the stage, the more I listened, the more frightened I became.

This level...

Carter subconsciously glanced to the right at Huang Qiuting and held back the words that came to his lips.

Among the world's universities, there are many famous ones in the field of chips, but ETH Zurich has to be mentioned.

Switzerland, a small country with a land area of ​​only 40,000 square kilometers, has produced two universities that rank 10-20 in the world university rankings: ETH Zurich and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

ETH Zurich is known as the number one school in Europe. It is particularly strong in science and engineering, and many of its majors are ranked among the top ten in the world.

In such a prestigious school, Huang Qiuting can become the director of the Institute of Integrated Systems of the School of Electronic Information and Technology, and is also a fellow of the IEEE. His ability in the field of chip design research can definitely rank among the top 20.

As if aware of Carter's expression, Huang Qiuting frowned slightly, looked away from Ren Hong, and explained to Carter calmly: "Professor Ren is from the University of Science and Technology of China."

After finishing speaking, he added, "He is not a professor at Guanghua University."

"Hey, isn't he a professor from Guanghua University?" Carter's eyes widened, still a little confused, "Then why does the other party serve as the director of the Optical Core Research Center? Isn't the Optical Core Research Center from Guanghua University?"

Huang Qiuting was speechless for a moment, and the expression on his face was frozen.

How should he explain this?

Explain that Ren Hong came to Guanghua from the University of Science and Technology of China to support chip research and development?

After saying that, Carter asked again, why would a professor from one university go to another university to support research?

In Western countries, unless it is a national research institution, it is difficult to understand this behavior.

Give up your own interests to help others?

This is absolutely impossible!

Who could be so noble?

But this actually happened in China.

In China, collective interests are higher than individuals. For the sake of the country's strength and development, many people can give up their personal interests and devote themselves to the construction of the country.

This may be the reason why China has been able to develop in just over thirty years.

Harry on the other side, seeing Huang Qiuting's embarrassment, interrupted and asked: "Professor, do you think the other party will really develop an optical core?"

Huang Qiuting exhaled slowly, looked at Ren Hong on the stage with complicated eyes, and said with difficulty:

"There is a high probability that maybe... they will succeed."

He was reluctant to admit this fact, but as an authority in the field of chip design, he understood how shocking what Ren Hong said was.

In terms of optical core research, the Optical Core Research Center is definitely at the forefront of the world. Whether it is ETH Zurich, UC Berkeley or MIT, it is not as good as Guanghua.

At this moment, he was shaken inside.

I resolutely left this poor country known as a scientific desert, and then took root in Switzerland.

Am I wrong?

Huang Qiuting was asking himself.

As time went by, Ren Hong on the stage became more and more energetic as he spoke.

Before 2020, there were many universities and companies in China researching chips, but they were all working on their own. After all, who would be stupid enough to help each other?

But this year, the country on the other side of the ocean has successively implemented "cut off supply" and "sanctions" against China.

Make countless Chinese people angry!

It also makes them, the chip researchers, feel humiliated and hopeless.

Chips are so difficult!

From EDA software to chip design to chip manufacturing, and even the final packaging and testing, there are already many rising stars in China who can gradually make some breakthroughs.

but……

Stuck on the lithography machine.

There is really no way to win in the field of lithography. An ASML lithography machine was developed through the efforts of scientists from all over the world.

To think that one country can independently develop this thing... is really despairing!

Ren Hong was also desperate.

As an industry insider, he is well aware of the impact of being cut off from confession and sanctioned.

In the other party's system, no matter how you study it, as long as the other party is cheating and no longer intends to compete unfairly, then you can only let others take advantage of you.

What to do?

Fortunately, the photon screen here at Guanghua was successful!

The success of photonic screens has given domestic scientific researchers hope.

That means the success rate of optical cores has greatly increased!

Even though the optical core has the word "optical" on it, the optical core does not require the [photolithography] link. You can skip directly to [etching].

Coincidentally, although domestic photolithography machines are stuck, the technology of etching machines is already at the top level in the world, no less than that of Europe and the United States.

Optical cores not only do not require a photolithography machine, but also require the use of special materials because photons replace electrons for calculations.

Once Guanghua University's optical core is successfully developed, it will be in a class of its own!

It completely breaks away from traditional electronic chips. We don’t have to play under the other party’s system, we play by ourselves!

As a Chinese, when he was called by the country, he agreed without hesitation!

As for the chip teams supported by several other universities, there may have been hesitation at the beginning.

But not only that, everyone came to Guanghua University to support the research and development of optical cores.

China can fight within itself, but when faced with foreign enemies, it is natural that they share the same hatred and fight against the outside world!

Thinking of this, Ren Hong became even more excited. He couldn't wait to invest in the research and development of optical cores after today's report.

"Our experimental results show that during 15-wavelength-wide photon frequency conversion, the optimal conversion efficiency achieved is up to 42%, and the tuning range exceeds the full-width half-maximum (fwhm) bandwidth of 250 ghz..."

The report is coming to an end, so there is no need to say more about the effect of this scene.

No one in the entire conference hall left midway. Doesn't this explain it?

"Principal Chen, how are things going at your Optical Core Industrial Park? We can't wait until Optical Core is successfully developed here and then get stuck in chip manufacturing and packaging testing!" Listening to Ren Hong's report, Mr. Ren's heart was surging. , but then thought of the supporting system, and couldn't help but remind Chen Hao.

No matter how good the chip design is, if it is not handled well in chip manufacturing, packaging and testing, it will fall into the same predicament as their HiSilicon Kirin chips.

There are good chips, but there is no way to produce them.

This is fucked up.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ren, Dr. Liang is watching over the Optical Core Industrial Park, and everything is going smoothly." Chen Hao is still reassured about Liang Yiqing, as his character, ability and character are all excellent.

"That's good."

Hearing Liang Yiqing's name, Mr. Ren felt relieved. Then he smiled at Chen Hao and said, "Principal Chen, given the friendly relationship between our Huaxing and Guanghua, optical cores must be given priority to us when the time comes!"

This is still being tackled, but Mr. Ren can no longer hold back and grab orders.

Just as Chen Hao was about to reply, the staff on the side suddenly walked aside with small steps.

"Principal, it's time." The staff member said in as low a voice as possible.

Chen Hao looked at his watch and saw that it was indeed 11:58. Although Ren Hong's report has come to an end, it still takes a few minutes to finish the last point, and there is no question and answer session at the end.

"Let him continue talking!" Wang Yangyuan, who was immersed in Ren Hong's report, suddenly became excited.

In his opinion, whether it is the lunch at the meeting, the theme report in the afternoon, or the dinner in the evening, it is not as important as Ren Hong's report.

The staff member was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Yangyuan at a loss and then turned to Chen Hao.

Although I don’t know Academician Wang Yangyuan, he must be of extraordinary status to be able to sit with Mr. Ren and President.

"Old Mo Wang is excited, but your health is in critical condition." Chen Hao quickly comforted Wang Yangyuan, then nodded to the staff and warned, "The meeting will continue until the questions are asked."

"OK."

The staff retreated.

Ren Hong's optical core report continued, and most of them listened intently. Occasionally, some people looked at the time and felt that it had timed out, but they did not leave.

After all, what is being explained on the stage is the most cutting-edge knowledge in the world. Even if some key points of data are hidden, the harvest is still great.

Fifteen minutes later.

The keynote report, which lasted for 45 minutes, finally came to an end.

"The above is my keynote report. If you have any questions, you can raise your hands."

As soon as Ren Hong finished speaking, everyone in the venue raised their hands...

ps: There is one more chapter, later.
