Chapter 27 The Professor Personally Invited You, but You Won’t Go? (Please Read On)

Luo Yao did not intend to use the bank card after getting it.

He only had 500,000 yuan now. According to the thinking of ordinary people, if he had such spare money, he would definitely want to invest. Generally, there are two choices, besides buying funds, he would buy stocks.

He can now predict that the stocks in the chip industry will rise in the near future, but this is not important, because he knows that the core technology he has mastered now is more valuable.

It is better to be a banker than a retail investor. Luo Yao must want the most efficient way to make money.

Luo Yao actually has more than 3,000 yuan saved all the time. The Luo family has just arrived in Dongcheng. Luo Yao plans to keep the 500,000 yuan in the card for emergency use.

It is only seven o'clock now. Luo Yao decided not to go back to the dormitory and turned to go straight to the library.

The homework left by Xia Qing is very simple for Luo Yao. It is like Luo Yao has the ability to build a skyscraper, but others ask him to make bricks.

Luo Yao did not care about the homework of the IP core. He continued to type his code according to his own plan.

The library is convenient for everything, but he can't build the development environment on a public computer.

The only thing that needs to be solved now is to build a reliable development environment.

If you just type code without building a development environment, then important tools such as compilers, debuggers, unit tests and automated tests cannot be used.

Moreover, to develop EDA now, the computer computing power cannot be too poor. The library computer is still OK for just typing code, but the subsequent distributed simulation or layout and routing modules, the computer here must be stuck to the point of doubting life.

Luo Yao realized that he needed to find a new place to develop his EDA.

Dongli University of Science and Technology is a research-oriented university, and there should be many majors that require strong computing power.

Luo Yao checked the Internet and found that there was indeed a supercomputing experimental training center in the school. He picked up the phone and sent a text message to Xia Qing.

[Professor Xia, I want to apply to use the school's supercomputing system. ]

Xia Qing didn't care at first when he heard the text message ringtone.

These days, people who use text messages are either e-commerce or fraud.

Xia Qing was basically too lazy to look.

But soon, the text message ringtone rang again.

Xia Qing picked up her phone with a thought, and then saw two text messages from Luo Yao.

[Professor Xia, I want to apply to use the school's supercomputer system. ]

[I am Luo Yao. ]

This was the first time Xia Qing met a student who sent text messages, and she saw Luo Yao's unique request right away.

She remembered the homework she assigned, and they shouldn't need supercomputers at their level.

Why did Luo Yao apply?

Is Luo Yao going to give her another surprise?

Xia Qing actually wanted to include Luo Yao in her research project to participate in scientific research practice, so that he could start from the basics. In this way, Luo Yao would improve faster than if he stayed in school.

After a few seconds of silence, Xia Qing readily gave Luo Yao his account and password, and took the opportunity to ask about Luo Yao's intentions.

[You can use it for free for 300 hours every month, which is enough for you. ]

[Also, are you interested in joining the teacher's research project? The research direction is general-purpose chips and basic software. 】

After receiving the text message, Luo Yao thought that Professor Xia Qing's research direction was indeed good, but there was no doubt that it was all single-item research and could not bring about qualitative changes in the chip industry.

What he was going to develop now was a complete set of EDA, which was a move that could affect the entire chip industry chain. It was clear at a glance who was more important and who was less important.

Now that he joined Professor Xia's project, Luo Yao knew that his position was definitely to do odd jobs.

He could join the project, but he would definitely not do odd jobs, so Luo Yao replied quickly.

[I will not participate for now. 】

Before reading the text message, Xia Qing thought Luo Yao would agree, but she didn't expect that the other party would refuse.

You know how many students wanted to join her project and she was not happy about it, but when it was her turn to invite her, she was rejected by Luo Yao.

Xia Qing felt both funny and helpless when she was rejected by a student for the first time.

It seems that Luo Yao is still too young and doesn't know what this means.

Xia Qing actually just made a preliminary agreement with Huaji today to develop EDA software.

Huaji is now facing a dilemma. Several major foundries that are cooperating with Huaji are now controlled by foreign EDA manufacturers.

Today, they use the excuse of software upgrade to restrict the use, and tomorrow they say that the activation code system has problems and cannot be used, which makes Huaji's chip foundries all led by others.

China focuses on the development of wafers and lithography machines, but not much investment in the development of EDA, which leads to Huaji's current passive situation.

Once the chip foundry stops working, Huaji, as a downstream customer of the chip industry chain, will be 100% affected.

Now mature EDA software is concentrated in the United States. If the EDA manufacturers in the United States make trouble and do not authorize Huaji's foundries to use EDA software, Huaji will obviously have no chips available.

Being at the end of the food chain, you can only be controlled by others.

Because of this, Huaji wants to start independent research and development of a full set of EDA software.

Developing a full set of EDA software is not something that can be solved overnight, but it is an improvement to be able to start now.

To establish a new research institute, you have to face the recruitment of people. Xia Qing is going to announce the decision to recruit people in the school.

That night, Xia Qing issued a notice, saying that she would recruit 1-3 outstanding students from freshmen majoring in microelectronics to join her new project. The recruitment requirement was to complete her latest project assignment.

As soon as the news came out, students from the three departments majoring in microelectronics became excited.

Microelectronics major group.

"Youfeng Yiye: If you can go to Professor Xia's project, it will be a bright road after graduation!"

"Wangzi, who is deficient in calcium: I want to go! But the latest assignment was very difficult, and I had to design an IP core!"

"Hey Damazha: Is your project also an IP core?"

"Calcium-deficient Wangzi: It seems that all three of our departments are dealing with this topic, and the pressure of competition has instantly increased!"

"Dinosaurs resist the waves: There are more than 200 people competing for those spots. How lucky you are to get selected!"

"Tank 6: What is the IP core?"

Everyone was having a heated discussion in the group, and Luo Yao went to the school's supercomputing experimental training center alone to start his formal development work.

I have to say that Luo Yao benefited a lot from Xia Qing's advice today, and Luo Yao gained a deeper understanding of the technology provided by the system.

The graphical user interface, circuit modeling, layout design, timing analysis, simulation and verification modules in EDA were all clearly displayed in front of him like puzzle pieces marked with numerical order.

Now, he just needs to place the puzzle pieces piece by piece in numerical order.

The time soon came to half past nine. When Wu Tianming saw that Luo Yao hadn't come home yet, he called him to ask about his situation. Luo Yao looked at the time and decided to go back to the dormitory first.

In order to facilitate the research groups in the school to research topics, the entire Supercomputing Experimental Training Center will actually be open all night.

Of course Luo Yao wanted to stay up all night developing EDA, but he was not a robot and could not sleep, so he planned to go back to sleep first and come back early tomorrow morning.

When he returned to the dormitory, Wang Ye couldn't wait to tell Luo Yao that Xia Qing would select 1-3 freshmen to enter her project.

Wang Ye could tell that Luo Yao still admired Xia Qing a little bit, otherwise Luo Yao would never have listened with all his attention when Xia Qing and Luo Yao were coaching alone today.

He thought that after telling Luo Yao about the selection, Luo Yao would be interested, but what he didn't expect was that Luo Yao said, "Well, I know, Professor Xia told me."

Wang Ye froze on the spot, his eyes widened: "Did Professor Xia tell you personally?"

"Tianming, look at what kind of treatment this is. We only found out about this after sending a group notification, and Professor Xia actually told him alone!"

Tianming still held a textbook on integrated circuit EDA technology in his hand, and now he sighed when he heard this.

"Santu is better than us in self-study. Professor Xia Qing will definitely accept him. By the way, Santu, when will you start the project?"

"I didn't say I was going."

"What?!" Wu Tianming and Wang Ye were both confused. The professor personally invited you but if you don't go, are you going crazy? !

Wang Ye walked up to Luo Yao, and when Luo Yao wasn't paying attention, he reached out and put his palm on his forehead.

"This child doesn't have a fever, why is he still talking nonsense?"

Luo Yao shrank his head back in discomfort and said expressionlessly: "I was not sick in the first place. What I want to do now is more valuable to me than joining Professor Xia's project, so not going is the best option." The right choice."

"Hey, you are so young, why do you speak so loudly? Just say this in front of us. Don't say it outside. Otherwise, Professor Xia will be unhappy if someone snitches in front of him."

Professor Xia will be unhappy?

This aroused Luo Yao's interest.

"Why is Professor Xia unhappy?"

It would be a bit silly for most people to ask this question, but Wu Tianming and Wang Ye knew that Luo Yao really didn't know.

For a person whose mind is filled only with knowledge and academics, he will never take the time to understand the complex psychology of a person who is belittled by his students.

"It feels like if your mother cooked a dish and said it was not delicious when we went to eat it, your mother would definitely be unhappy after hearing this."

Wu Tianming found the simplest and clearest example to explain to Luo Yao.

After Luo Yao heard this, he thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I won't say such things in front of Professor Xia."

After Luo Yao finished speaking, he was ready to wash up and go to bed.

Wang Ye glanced at Wu Tianming, and then said to Luo Yao: "Santu, I don't understand something related to IP core. Can you tell me about it."

Luo Yao was about to go to the balcony to get toiletries. After hearing what Wang Ye said, he turned around and asked Wang Ye: "Only a small part of you don't understand?"

Wang Ye chuckled and said shamelessly: "I don't understand them all."

…

Luo Yao felt that he had never seen such a confident person who said he didn't understand anything.

"Santu, I don't understand very well either." Wu Tianming thought he couldn't miss the opportunity, and hurriedly kept up with Wang Ye's rhythm, and made a miserable show of his brother who was two years younger than them.
