Star Science and Technology Building.

In the office on the top floor.

As usual, Chen Yushan, who was working hours, was meticulously reading the documents sent by various departments of the company and giving instructions.

Although this life is a bit hectic, it is enjoyable for her.

Especially when watching Star Technology emerge in the world and stir up the storm, she also has a kind of satisfaction that the value of her life has been realized.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the invitation made by that guy like her that day, she would probably be waiting for mold in some department in Beijing now with the stepping stone to return to the Wharton School master's degree and her father's connections?

Although this kind of life is the same, it is estimated that many people will envy it......

But she always had the feeling that her MBA at Wharton had been read in vain.

She stretched, and just as she was about to get up and walk around the office, the phone on the corner of her desk suddenly rang.

Reaching for the phone, she casually said hello.

"Hello?"

"It's me."

A familiar voice came from the other end of the earpiece, Chen Yushan was slightly stunned for a moment, and then a smile of surprise appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she asked in a joking tone.

"Aren't you in retreat studying the Riemann hypothesis? Why did you suddenly think of taking the initiative to call me. ”

Lu Zhou: "Well, I was indeed in retreat some time ago, but it has ended recently...... Speaking of which, do you remember the carbon-based chip project I mentioned to you before? ”

Hearing Lu Zhou talk about this, Chen Yushan couldn't help but smile.

"Remember, is there a result?"

To be honest, she is not very optimistic about the carbon-based chip project, because the concept has been hyped a lot, and it has been rumored since 18 years that Microsoft has made "significant" progress in research in this direction, but until now there is nothing to see.

However, who wants Lu Zhou to be happy?

He likes to throw money at this project, and no one can stop him.

It's like going to do aerospace in the first place......

However, just when Chen Yushan was thinking like this, the voice on the other end of the phone made her stunned.

"Well, just last night, it was made."

It's already been made......

After the voice fell, the phone fell silent.

Lu Zhou, who was holding his phone, waited for a while.

Just as he was about to start wondering if he had accidentally rubbed the hang up button and was about to remove the phone from his ear, the sound of something falling on the ground came from the other end of the phone.

Immediately after that, a whole hurried voice sounded, and Chen Yushan, who picked up the phone again, didn't have time to feel sorry for the mobile phone that she had accidentally touched on the corner of the table, and asked in an unbelievable tone.

"Done? What was made? Carbon-based chips? Are you sure? are-U-sure？ ”

Listening to this question that came over like a cannonball, Lu Zhou couldn't help but move his phone two inches away, and only after the senior sister finished speaking, did he cough lightly and continue.

"Well, I'm sure...... It's not a joke. ”

There was a "hiss" on the other end of the phone.

With a gasp, Chen Yushan sighed in a complicated tone.

“…… You don't know what that means? ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou was suddenly unhappy.

Joke?

He discovered the properties of the Mott insulator in graphene, and he made the SG-1 superconducting material, who knows better than him what this thing means?

Without waiting for Lu Zhou to speak, Chen Yushan continued.

“…… Carbon-based chips will broaden the lower limit of the chip manufacturing process, and every chip born in the future, we will take at least 30% of the profits, which will be closer to the core field of technology than the chip architecture, and we will become Qualcomm in the chip field...... No, it's not just Qualcomm, even Qualcomm has to call us Dad! ”

"It's not just that...... This will also be the best opportunity for our country's electronics industry to achieve corner overtaking. Do you know what that means? This means that the support we can get from Beijing and the local government will be unimaginable to other enterprises! ”

Chen Yushan, who said these things in one go, felt a little dry, reached out and picked up the tea on the table and took a sip gently.

But even so, she couldn't stop her chest from rising and falling.

At that moment, a soft cough came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Zhou, who took over the topic, spoke slowly.

"Of course I know what you're talking about."

"And you're probably missing a bit. In addition to the functions of traditional chips, zero-energy Majorana fermions will be formed in the eddy core region at the interface between three-dimensional topological insulators and superconductors, and the existence of Majorana fermions will create the possibility of building topological qubits. Do you know what that means? ”

There was no time for Chen Yushan to react, and Lu Zhou, who knew that she definitely didn't understand, smiled playfully and continued.

"It means that quantum computers are no longer the stuff of sci-fi blockbusters, and we have indeed found a material that can build topological qubits!"

The moment she heard this, Chen Yushan was stunned, and her face was full of question marks.

"Wait, wait a minute, quantum computer? I'm a little ...... I don't quite understand. ”

She didn't quite understand how carbon-based chips were related to quantum computers, and she couldn't understand a lot of topological insulators, Majorana fermions and the like.

Oh, scumbag.

Lu Zhou smiled smugly in his heart, and didn't explain much, just said briefly.

"As for how carbon-based chips are related to quantum computers, let's talk about this issue when we have time. In short, the breakthrough of carbon-based chip technology is far more than the chip itself. ”

"In addition, about this matter, I have written to send a letter to Beijing, if nothing else, within two days the science and industry bureau and the patent office will call, I need to trouble you to do is to complete our patent layout under the coordination of the relevant departments. If it's convenient, it's best to send our best patent agent team to the Institute for Advanced Study today. ”

Nodding seriously, Chen Yushan, who was holding the phone, said confidently.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of this matter!"

Lu Zhou nodded and said in a serious tone.

"Well, then please!"

It's not just patents that need to be laid out, there's still a lot of preparatory work to be done around this chip that is about to change the world.

For example, we are looking for co-production partners, we are developing production processes that meet market expectations at a cost, and we are further reducing the size of carbon-based transistors to catch up with the performance of silicon-based chips that have dominated the electronics industry for decades.

No matter how dark the technology is, if it cannot be successfully industrialized and accepted by the market, it is just empty talk.

And if once it is industrialized and successfully accepted by the market......

So even if it doesn't want to move forward, under the gathering of huge social resources, it will push it forward all the way.

When it comes to technical things, Lu Zhou will pick the right people to complete them.

As for things involving the business level and those fields that he doesn't understand, he needs to pay more attention to the senior sister......
