It can be seen from the integrated circuit design competition of the University of Science and Technology, why the Academy of Computer Science and Technology should strive to hold the event in front of Huang Pei, since the activity was initiated by Tianxing Society, the participating teams who signed up for a week of preparation, and then launched the competition in the octagonal building of the Academy of Science and Technology.

The content of the competition covers circuit design, system design, layout design, simulation verification and other integrated circuit design categories. Of course, the people who are responsible for the checks and judges are all teachers and professors of relevant majors in the Academy of Computer Science, and there are several media notified as a result, among which Cheng Ran also met Xie Feibai's sister Wang Yulan, who was a journalist.

Wang Yulan's Business Daily Group launched the weekly "Economic Herald" this year, which is in response to the current environment of the rise of domestic financial media, and has set up its place in Nanzhou.

Wang Yulan is also the first batch of people who came with her, the status of the University of Science and Technology in China is still very high, this integrated circuit design competition is in the name of the Academy of Science and Technology, and should be with the State Council Document No. 18, some related publications and newspapers also entered the University of Science and Technology, Wang Yulan also bumped into Cheng Ran when she was at the scene, so the two said hello.

Wang Yulan asked Cheng Ran, "Xie Feibai drove away from my family's car, at that time, my mother was soft-hearted, saying that it was for him to support his classes, his University of Political Science and Law is in a remote place, and it is inconvenient to have no car, does he often come to you, show off and take you everywhere to play or something?"

Cheng Ran shook his head again and again, "No, no, we meet for normal life and study." "Xie Feibai's sister is in a white suit today, after experiencing workplace polishing, she also cut her hair short, and now she has a tough and shimmering image, Cheng Ran knows that Xie Feibai has never been under the oppression of his sister, how dare he talk more.

Wang Yulan looked over with narrow eyes, "You shouldn't be covering for him, right?"

Cheng Ran smiled, "No, no." In fact, he is also a sensible person, you don't have to look at him from the previous eyes, I think Feibai has grown up a lot. ”

Wang Yulan said, "I think that there are some things in a person's bones that remain unchanged. Okay, your USTC has made this competition quite novel this time, the integrated circuit design competition, I haven't heard of any university in China now, I came to Nanzhou and someone told me that many things here at USTC are cutting-edge, and every time you do a new thing, it is worth paying attention to, because maybe in a few years, this thing will bring great economic and social effects. Are you a volunteer or a staff member? Don't bother you, go get busy. ”

Wang Yulan also happened to bump into Cheng Ran and chatted for a few words, and then there were leaders from the University of Science and Technology who came to interview the media to popularize some knowledge, and everyone had to go to a room to give a unified explanation, because many reporters are not related majors, and if they don't pass such popularization, sometimes they don't even know what the content of their reports is, and it is inevitable that there will be fallacies in knowledge.

Wang Yulan chatted with Cheng Ran, that is, seeing that this time was coming, so she ended the exchange, and followed the newspaper interviewers who arrived today to a multimedia classroom, where a responsible teacher of the Academy of Computer Science beckoned everyone to sit on the podium, and then said that today's content will be explained to you by the president of Tianxing Society, why such a design competition is held.

Then the reporters at the scene did not say that they were surprised, but at least they felt that the somewhat peculiar keynote speaker was not this teacher, or any professor or dean, but a college student who came in.

Cheng Ran opened the slide and told everyone about the backwardness of the country's related industries, the lack of catching up in related fields, and the pain points, and the original intention of the University of Science and Technology to start from the small self and hold an integrated circuit design competition in the school to activate creativity in this regard.

What made the media reporters present feel different was that such a college student was so concise and concise, which could arouse and drive their emotions, and the hall was full of voices of writing and recording. In the end, Cheng Ran's sentence "Today's competition may be just immature, and there are many shortcomings in the mechanism, but as long as it continues to develop, I hope that the spark can also start a prairie fire." I believe it will be used in the closing sentence of many newspaper articles today.

After this popularization meeting, the media came out one after another, and Wang Yulan approached Cheng Ran, "The organizer has a Tianxing Club, so you are the president of the club of USTC?"

Cheng Ran nodded.

"You're only a freshman and you're going to be the president?" Wang Yulan raised her eyebrows, "This is also an event you held?"

"It's not enough to rely on clubs alone, and there is also the support of the faculties, and the university has also given the green light. We only play the role of advocacy and system, and the classrooms, microcomputers and related evaluations of today's competition are all done by the school. So it's bigger. ”

"What do you mean when you say this activity is still very young?"

"This is the first time, of course, there are no universities in China to do this, but that's why we need some newspapers to help report and make some influence. As I said before, the original intention is to arouse the interest of more people in this field, to get more people involved in this cause, so that we can bring together a sufficient number of talents, investment and policy. It is also the first time for the University of Science and Technology to do this, and there are still too few relevant talents in the University of Science and Technology, so in fact, there is no need to look at the complex high-tech works that college students can come up with in this competition with too high standards, which is more of an activity to stimulate everyone's interest and discover the talent of talents. ”

Wang Yulan tilted her head to look at him and smiled, "So, you need us to report on this matter, including the previous unified rhetoric, which is actually creating a sense of crisis?"

"I don't agree with the idea of creating a sense of crisis, because it's there. It is a fact that our country is backward in related fields, and it is a fact that catching up needs to be done in a big way, and there is a large number of documents in the 18th place, and the large-scale investment in integrated circuits of the national team can also start from a small place like us. Cheng Ran said.

Wang Yulan stared at him, "Then can I understand that HKUST is actually just the first step, if possible, you will expand the scope as much as possible, different universities, universities, and the whole country, and even remove the word "University of Science and Technology" in front of the USTC Integrated Circuit Design Competition in the future?"

Cheng Ran thought in his heart that Xie Feibai's sister really deserves to be the material for the news, and the relevant sensitivity and sense of smell can really draw inferences.

Wang Yulan smiled, "I thought about how to write the manuscript." ”

Then this arrogant woman, who was born in the top journalism university in China and is now one of the veterans of the "Economic Herald", said, "The electronics industry in the big era is rising, and it has been a difficult road for 50 years to lack a core and a soul. The young man swallowed the mountains and rivers in anger, met on a narrow road, and was willing to cast Tai Ah for the spark. One day, he will slash the evil with a dragon sword. Who is afraid? ”

Probably Wang Yulan didn't expect that the text she wrote in the future would be cited as a classic and become a portrayal of a turbulent process.

......

In fact, the IC design competition is not intended to come up with any shocking technology, figuratively speaking, Cheng Ran just made a net, framing the undergraduate, master's and doctoral students of HKUST, looking for talents who can be polished.

Moreover, it is necessary to digest these talents at multiple levels and give them to Nie Yun and Hu Zhiwei to build, or put them in Tianxingshe, practice with countless outsourcing projects, and strive to be able to rely on more technical research institutes backed by the resources of the University of Science and Technology, so as to tap talents from different categories and make the best use of them. Finally, put it into Hanwu, put it into CQ, and put it into Lianzhong......

The IC Design Competition of HKUST is also a forward experience, in which the subject design, process operation, and media cooperation specifications can be used in the operation of other universities and even across universities.

In fact, this is also the general cause of science and technology companies in later generations, joint colleges and universities to carry out science and technology competitions, and then better allocate talents and employment from them, and at the same time can also publicize the company's system, welfare and strategy, on the one hand, to solve the problem of the way out for outstanding talents on campus, on the other hand, it can allow technology companies to get word of mouth and talents, accumulate social prestige, which can be described as a win-win situation. In this way, it is possible to tie the potential talents of one university after another to the warship. In the talent strategy of the 21st century, whoever has mastered the huge base of scientific research personnel can break through the road with strength.

As a domestic university that stands at the forefront of related fields, HKUST has the platform and resources to allow Cheng Ran to operate so well, and it also has the appeal to ascend to the top. As long as the competition is successful and a fixed pattern is formed, it will be very smooth to promote in the future, and it can also be better promoted in cooperation with the local government, and will be supported by a lot of policy resources.

The integrated circuit design competition gave birth to a champion, a runner-up, and several prominent people who belong to the subdivision category, these people are either targeted by Nie Chuan of Tianxing Society, or Nie Yun, who is engaged in Hanwu research and development, but in fact, Cheng Ran is not worried that the discovered talents will flow out, because in fact, these people only have potential now, and in related professional fields, if there is no one to bring them, it is still difficult to get ahead. And now, whether it is a multinational company or a domestic R&D, all that is required by the outside world is people who have qualifications and can be used for training. Probably no company or institution wants to wait for you to grow slowly.

The competition was a complete success, and the departments also got a lot of inspiration, the competition was a week to prepare, and then on the day of the competition, four hours in front of the computer to operate the results, in this process, many professors and teachers of the Academy of Computer Science and Technology were on the spot, for many teams to provide technical guidance, these counseling also saw the value of the competition, some of the talent University of Science and Technology of some research institutes have been aimed.

Media coverage has also attracted the attention of the competition, and some academics have written that the integrated circuit design competition of HKUST is the first of its kind in China, and universities in related fields of such activities can take this as much as possible.

Almost just after the end of the integrated circuit design competition of the University of Science and Technology, a newly established association called "Tianxing Tsinghua Society" in Tsinghua Park is also working with Peking University next door to start preparations for the relevant competition activities of Tsinghua University and Peking University.

......

Cheng Ran told Jiang Hongshao, Tianxing Club, the concept, the operation, and the excitement of this integrated circuit design competition, and the roommates, seniors, and senior brothers and sisters of the university who carried out this together. Then Jiang Hongshao quietly listened to all this Cheng Ran's voice, her voice was slightly soft, like autumn water, warm and melancholy.

Cheng Ran...... I'm envious. ”

......

......

...... from Brother Jiang Envy.

People who have probably never dealt with Jiang Hongshao will not know what the probability of this sentence coming out of her mouth will be, just like Ultraman suddenly does not fight little monsters one day, and the fish in front of the cat is not as delicious as the rice in the pot next door.

But she was envious. Yes, since the turmoil in Rongcheng caused the situation to be turbulent, she went abroad to study, and it seemed that Lao Jiang was quite alone when the storm came.

However, most people probably only see her chic, but don't know that behind her strength, after she uses make-up classes and library inspection work to strive for financial independence, she puts all her efforts into the study courses that are actually relatively tight time, often a loaf of bread and two slices of bacon, and vegetable salad is worth the days of protein and vitamins needed for a day.

Will she also feel lonely one day?

In these rather monotonous lives, Cheng Ran is like her window, where she can see the rich and colorful university life that she can't experience and get in touch with after going abroad, and those like-minded friends who can do things together and laugh with each other without hindrance.

She probably doesn't have any of that.

So she watched Cheng Ran's college life, laughed when she listened to it, and laughed when she looked at it, as if these were not what she had hoped for.

So she will be envious.

......

On the day of the end of the integrated circuit design competition, the volunteers of the Tianxing Club and the student union cleaned up the scene, removed the banners, picked up the garbage, and the volunteer team led by Zhang Jing sorted out all kinds of tables and stools on the spot, and came to meet Cheng Ran and others, everyone high-fived excitedly, celebrating the complete success of the competition, and Cheng Ran high-fived, Zhang Jing looked at his eyes and greeted him with a smile, "Congratulations!"

Cheng Ran said, "The credit belongs to everyone. ”

It was dusk, and there was a golden halo wandering around the campus, reflecting on the excited faces. It was an aura of shared commitment, meaningfulness, and a sense of accomplishment.

Zhang Jing stood beside Cheng Ran and felt that they must be very good-looking at this moment.

......

Later, someone suggested going to eat hot pot outside the south gate to celebrate, and everyone responded and sat at three tables.

Originally, Cheng Ran was going to treat me in the end, but everyone said AA, because they could get together like this many times in the future, so they would make up money as soon as they waited, and when Cheng Ran arrived, Zhang Jing smiled, "Lie to me so many times, this time you help me give money!"

But the rest of the people waited and coaxed, laughing very ghostly.

When he returned to school, Cheng Ran took out the last few tickets and gave them to his roommates, including two for Wang Xinbo and Zhang Jing.

"Let's go to the concert together. ”

Everyone exclaimed, and Zhang Jing's eyes seemed to be like the stars of the night.

In the last month of the new century, when they were in college, they went to see Qin Xizhen's Nanzhou concert together.

This will probably be the memory of many people at that time in the future, and it is also a profound memorial of their group.

On that day, there was an endless stream of people going to the Nanzhou Gymnasium from the University of Science and Technology, and among the students of the University of Science and Technology, they also paid for the tickets themselves, including Zhang Jing's roommates, while shouting that Cheng Ran only gave Zhang Jing a ticket, why can't they be left alone, they must be light bulbs. But when they arrived at the scene, because everyone was seated differently, they had to separate with hatred if they couldn't retaliate.

The tickets left by Cheng Ran for the people in the dormitory were serial numbers, so Wang Xinbo took his girlfriend Gao Yue, Li Wei, Lao Guo, and Zhang Jing in the same row in the stands, not infield tickets, but they were also very high in the stands.

Qin Xizhen's concert is just like Cheng Ran's previous suggestion, the route is based on artistic conception, supplemented by performance, and various musical forms are expressed in the process, including the elegance and liveliness of playing the piano in a long skirt under the light chasing, and she also plays single-handedly with a guitar, sometimes accompanied by beautiful men, and also famous bands. The stage effect will also change, forest, planet, universe, fairy tale, classical, sometimes she mops the floor-length dress, sometimes dresses like a witch, sometimes a white lace gauze skirt, and matches the white smoke rising from the stage.

The singing pierced the stadium of tens of thousands of people.

Some of the songs Cheng Ran has heard, and some are the first time they have heard them, and they are probably brand new. The person next to you will sing along to the climax of some chorus.

Wang Xinbo and his girlfriend Gao Yue snuggled up to each other and felt very happy. Lao Guo and Li Wei hooked their shoulders, and the screams continued. Zhang Jing, who participated in this kind of performance for the first time, was also infected with that atmosphere, and all emotions at this time would be amplified, making people immersed in the singing with the atmosphere.

In the process, someone still sent a text message or made a call, Cheng Ran put down his mobile phone with a bright screen, and waved his hand with the people around him, facing the woman who was in front of the stage at this time, who was the master and turned all beings upside down.

In his trouser pocket, there was a text message he received before the show.

"I don't have time in Nanzhou today, so we will eat together tomorrow. ”
