Chapter 334 Differentiated Functions

Seeing Lin Xiao's smile, the old man looked inquiringly: "Professor Lin, do you have any idea?"

If there is no way to solve this problem and the impact on the country is relatively large in the end, then the time for announcing room-temperature superconductors may be advanced.

But obviously, this will affect the established plan, which is obviously bad, and if this problem can be solved, it will obviously be better.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Please wait for me to make a call."

"Okay." The old man nodded.

Then Lin Xiao took out his mobile phone and called Kong Huaan.

Soon, the call came through.

"Hey, Lin Xiao, why are you suddenly free to call me?"

Lin Xiao didn't say anything else and went straight to the topic: "Lao Kong, where has your EDA software been developed?"

Kong Huaan on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Now it has entered the final moment, all the functions are complete, but I have been thinking about how to add some special functions to it, and compare it with other software on the market. Forming a difference is also very meaningful for occupying the market in the future.”

"Difference?" Lin Xiao thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, I understand. I may go find you this afternoon."

"Looking for me? Okay, I understand."

Without further words, Lin Xiao hung up the phone.

The old man smiled and asked: "Who is it?"

"Kong Hua'an also made a great contribution to the X-ray project. The lattice light source model he proposed helped us solve key problems at the software level." Lin Xiao said.

"Oh, I remember this young man, is he the same age as you?"

"Yes."

"He is also an outstanding young man." The old man praised, and then asked: "He is developing EDA software?"

"Yes, and it's down to the last part."

The old man suddenly showed a relieved smile, "Okay, it seems that with outstanding young people like you here, I don't have to worry."

Then he looked at the time and said to Lin Xiao: "Then let's stop here today. After we have eaten and drank enough, we all have to continue working."

Lin Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you for your hard work." The old man patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, then waved to him, "See you next time."

"goodbye."

Lin Xiao nodded, and then, as the old man, his secretary and other entourage left, Lin Xiao's social encounter ended here.

He was quite emotional, but he didn't care that much.

Recalling the restrictions on their EDA software, Lin Xiao pulled a contemptuous smile from the corner of his mouth.

In his opinion, such behavior was completely like a last ditch effort.

As for why the other party had not imposed sanctions before, but now suddenly imposed sanctions, Lin Xiao could easily figure out the reason. It was just that nothing happened to him during that incident, so his ugly face was exposed, but he was probably still afraid of him. I really researched other semiconductor raw materials, so I started working on the software.

His guess was indeed correct. The other party did think so. Lin Xiao had shown genius-like ability in the research and development of new materials, so they chose software programs, which Lin Xiao had never shown his ability to. A place to do things.

Moreover, EDA software is a very important link in the semiconductor downstream market. Everything about semiconductors is to produce chips. So as an indispensable thing in the chip design process, it goes without saying that EDA software is necessary.

Moreover, in the entire semiconductor process, chip design companies often have the highest profits. The T0 level is Apple. The chips it produces are a key to bringing extremely high added value to its electronic products, making it directly become one of the top 500 companies. Top five in terms of turnover and number one in net profit.

Next are Intel, NVIDIA, and Massage Shop, the three giants that occupy PC-side chips, followed by Qualcomm, Warwick before 2020 and now, and the recently emerged MediaTek and other companies.

The chip market, which is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, is basically supported by these companies. As for chip foundries, only TSMC, with its 50% market share, has achieved the ability to be on par with these chip design companies. , but this is the only one. As for the second-ranked Samsung chip foundry, it has collapsed a lot.

All in all, EDA software is very important.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao stopped staying and left directly to find Kong Huaan.

After the X-ray project ended, Kong Huaan did not get any benefits and returned directly to his Anhua Network Technology Co., Ltd.

It's still the same Hua'an Hotel, and the people are still the same as before.

Although Anhua Network Technology Co., Ltd. can directly carry out shareholding restructuring and become a joint-stock company and go public directly, but for the talented programmers here, they are basically too lazy to deal with the listing.

When Lin Xiao arrived at the company, he was welcomed by these programmers.

"Lin Shen is here!"

"Lin Shen, long time no see!"

"Why are you calling Lin God? You have to call Master Lin!"

"..."

Looking at these people, Lin Xiao smiled and nodded to them all: "Long time no see."

Lin Xiao's response once again made these programmers excited.

To them, Lin Xiao, the man who built the lithography machine, is simply a true god in their eyes.

Programmers all know computers. After all, when learning computers, they have to memorize some things related to chips. What's more, they are also more or less enthusiasts of electronic products. Naturally, they also know that China did not have lithography machines in the past. The frustration of not being able to make chips.

But Lin Xiao built a lithography machine for China. Of course, they all admired Lin Xiao very much.

So there was a lot of flattery.

"Lin Shen, you are the eternal god!"

"God Lin, teach us how to build a photolithography machine!"

"What machine?"

In addition, there are also some heavyweight speeches, such as:

"Wow, Lin Shen smiled at me! He has me in his heart!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the heavyweight player with strange looks in their eyes.

Lin Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, quickly waved his hands and ran away.

He quickly entered the chairman's office. This office was not as luxurious as other chairman's offices. It had sofas, a large solid wood desk, and bookcases filled with books. Instead, it was very simple.

One of the desks had five monitors on it and several hosts next to it. It looked like an entire science fiction base.

And Kong Huaan was sitting at the desk, his fingers "playing the piano" like flying on the keyboard.

There is basically no programmer who has a slow typing speed. As a top programmer and a top hacker, Kong Huaan's typing speed is extremely fast.

Lin Xiao did not interrupt his work, and just watched quietly from the side.

After a while, Kong Huaan pressed the Enter key. After waiting for a while, a BUG window popped up on one of the monitors, which made Kong Huaan scratch his head.

At this time, he finally noticed Lin Xiao next to him.

"Huh? You're here?"

"I am coming."

"You're finally here."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "What problem did you encounter?"

"I'm not telling you that I want to create a differentiated function. This function is the intelligent analysis function."

"The main thing is that this intelligent analysis function can always analyze whether the circuit can operate normally, and can perform optimization analysis on the circuit designed by the chip design engineer, but this step is a bit too difficult."

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Intelligent analysis? Also need to optimize the entire integrated circuit? That is indeed a bit difficult."

"You think it's a bit difficult?" Kong Huaan's face suddenly showed a regretful expression: "Then it seems that I shouldn't do this."

Lin Xiao: "...If I think it's difficult, shouldn't I do it?"

Kong Huaan didn't speak, as if he had returned to his usual taciturn self.

Lin Xiao stood up at this time, rubbed his chin, and fell into thinking.

The implementation of this function is a complete set of logical processes, and the realization of this complete set of logic is the algorithm behind it, and finally, it is implemented in mathematics.

But the question is, how to summarize this problem into a mathematical problem, which is something worth considering.

Obviously, this requires a combination of mathematics and informatics for research, but Lin Xiao's current informatics is only at the very first level. Although his mathematics is very strong, it is like thread tearing. If you run AAA masterpieces with HD4350, the pressure is on the graphics card, not the CPU.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly and thought in his mind: "Open the personal panel."

A panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Host: Lin Xiao]

[Truth point: 815]

[Cosmic Truth Branch Level]

[Mathematics: Level 6 (9100/30000)]

[Chemistry: Level 4 (1200/5000]

[Physics: Level 5 (9000/10000)]

[Biology: Level 1 (2/50)]

[Materials Science: Level 4 (4500/5000)]

[Informatics: Level 1 (25/50)]

Looking at the incompatible biology and informatics, Lin Xiao made an expression in his mind like a subway man looking at his mobile phone.

Then, he thought that truth points can be exchanged for experience. 1 truth point is equal to 10 experience.

He didn't use truth points to upgrade before because it was unnecessary, but this time there was no need to worry so much, so he said in his heart: "Exchange 25 points of informatics experience."

System: "The exchange was successful, a total of 2.5 truth points were spent."

Then, Lin Xiao felt a slight heat in his mind. This was because the upgrade of informatics to level 2 brought about a 0.2% increase in brain development.

This means that his brain development level has reached 9.55%.

In addition, his understanding of informatics has also been improved again.

Suddenly, he felt some inspiration flash in his mind.

Then, he smiled slightly and said, "I have a method."
