On the 21st, Zhongxin International sent a large number of trustworthy technical backbones to the fourth scientific research factory of Xinghai Technology to use virtual factory technology to study the improvement of chip manufacturing process.

Just a few days later.

Only a few dozen process adjustments were made.

They have achieved gratifying results, and the yield of 14nm chips in the virtual factory has increased from 95% to 96.1%.

Productivity also increased by 1.2%.

This progress is quite impressive, and the cost is only a million yuan of electricity costs incurred during the operation of the supercomputer.

"Continue to optimize and improve, and strive to make the chip yield reach more than 97%, and increase the production efficiency by 5%! Then make actual adjustments and changes to the real production line, and turn the virtual factory into a real factory. ”

Generally, the virtual factory achieves an improvement of less than 5%, and there will be no much error, if the increase is more than 10%, the error will increase, so the ideal scientific research procedure is: the virtual factory makes some progress - the reality makes adjustments, and the real data is fed back - the virtual factory continues to improve and maintain the rhythm of small steps.

If the supercomputer computing speed is faster, the simulation is more realistic, and it has been engaged in research and development in the virtual factory, from paper design to product realization, a full set of technical data can be run out in the virtual factory.

If you get it in reality, you can apply it!

It's just that the computing speed of the supercomputer must exceed 1 trillion times per second!

And now the most advanced supercomputer on the earth is the Tianhe-3E of country Z, with a computing power of just 10 billion times per second, which is far from meeting the requirements of "full virtual research and development".

Even so, even with the help of low-performance supercomputing to assist enterprises in R&D, it can save massive R&D costs and improve efficiency.

Chen Jin decided that Xinghai Technology will buy a number of supercomputers in the future, and develop supercomputers with higher performance by themselves, and then load a large number of "intelligent simulation technology" to establish a number of "virtual factories" to assist in the design and manufacture of chips, the research of new materials, and the development of high-end medical equipment...... The application field is infinitely broad, and the speed from project establishment to results will be extremely amazing.

"This is the infinitely bright future! No matter how strong the human brain is, how can it be stronger than the supercomputer with a running speed of N billions of times? If you 10,000 students tinker with it for ten years, it's better to run a virtual factory for a year. ”

"It is true that we still need talents in the future, but what we need is no longer craftsman-style talents, but talents with pioneering thinking!"

"You don't need to be proficient in all fields, just dabble in some fields, if you really don't understand, ask Xiaoxing to learn the machine; Hands-on, with virtual factory ...... In the end, even if I am a scumbag, I only need to know the principle, and then find the right way in thousands of trial and error, and I can also make advanced chips. ”

"One person, getting chip technology, it's not a fantasy!"

"Under such a technological development trend, it is a joke to insist on the so-called 'test-oriented education', and it is impossible to cultivate talents who can adapt to the future."

Therefore, the purpose of Chen Jin's first launch of the Xiaoxing learning machine is this, he is laying out in advance and cultivating the talents he needs most.

Of course, this process will definitely produce labor pains, turmoil, bring about huge social changes, and affect the fate of countless people, but compared with the infinitely bright future, this price will only become a symbol of the times and gradually forgotten.

……

October 1st.

Chen Jin received a message on WeChat.

Su Yun, who usually didn't take the initiative to bother, sent it to him: "Chen Jin, there is something I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

"What's the matter?"

Chen Jin was a little strange, it was the first time for Su Yun to look for him because of something, and he had never made his request except for greeting and greetings.

"My brother wants to buy a Xiaoxing second-generation learning machine...... Can you get one for me, I can add some money. ”

"Little friend?"

Chen Jin was surprised: "Last time I asked Xiaopeng in the family group, he is going to take the college entrance examination next year, do you want me to send Tai Xiaoxing to him?" He said no...... Why did you change your mind again? ”

"Xiaopeng, he actually doesn't want to burden us, and he also feels that he has enough strength to be admitted to the best university, but a few days ago, in his school's monthly exam, his ranking fell to the fifth in the class, and the ranking of the whole school fell outside the top 30...... He had never been in such a bad ranking. ”

In the past, his younger brother Su Zipeng was usually in the top one or two in the class and the top ten in the school.

"Xiao Peng, he is out of order?"

"No, he played normally, he played well in math and got a perfect score."

"But how did he drop so much in the rankings? Could it be that someone cheated on the Xiaoxing learning machine? ”

"No, his school invigilation is very strict, the iPad is the size of the Xiaoxing learning machine, it is impossible to take it out to cheat, it is those students who bought the Xiaoxing learning machine, and their grades have improved significantly!"

Su Yun explained.

It turned out that after the exam ranking of this monthly exam came out, Su Zipeng fell into extreme anxiety.

He didn't want to add a burden to his family, so he had to ask his parents to buy a Xiaoxing learning machine.

A change from his previous somewhat dismissive attitude.

Isn't it just a learning machine, how powerful can it be? Don't brag too much.

Because for students who don't like to study, it is in vain to buy ten Xiaoxing learning machines.

And under the current education system, students' grades mainly depend on the students themselves.

Xiaoxing's "knowledge tree" is very advanced, but the textbook knowledge in school is also gradual, and the knowledge points can also be mastered.

Xiaoxing's "auxiliary answering" function can solve any question, which is indeed very good, but it does not mean that students have mastered the problem-solving skills by themselves, and the exam questions still have to be done by themselves.

Su Zipeng learned about the "10,000 questions and answers" function of the recent fire, which is a bit interesting from his classmates, but it is not too helpful for learning.

He came to the conclusion that this product of more than 8,000 yuan was sold as a gimmick.

But after the end of the monthly exam, he no longer thought so, his face was very solemn, and he had a huge sense of crisis in his heart.

had to let go of the contempt in his heart, and instead attached great importance to it, through a detailed investigation of other classmates, he slowly discovered Xiaoxing's strength:

Xiaoxing's "knowledge tree" not only allows you to better grasp the knowledge points, but also allows you to intuitively see your weak points, so as to strengthen and improve.

Xiaoxing's "Auxiliary Answering" function can easily solve all problems, which means cheating, but you can turn on the "Challenge Mode" and make a puzzle according to the step prompts.

Even for a large part of the questions, Xiaoxing provides not one, but a variety or a dozen! You can find the most suitable and easy-to-understand solution for yourself...... There are more and more complete problem-solving ideas than the teacher taught, and the level is clear, more thorough and easy to understand.

Some of the problem-solving ideas are so subtle that they are amazing.

No matter how good a teacher is, he can't do it to this extent.

In addition, in terms of the efficiency of doing problems, with the help of Xiaoxing learning machine, others can do ten sets of math test papers a day, and he can do up to two sets a day, sometimes he will card a self-study class in front of a difficult problem, and others will master the best one according to the ideas provided by Xiaoxing, and a variety of solutions to this problem.

There are two learning modes, one is "find the answer by yourself", but the memory is more profound; The other is to "give one or more ideas for solving the problem and choose the most appropriate method...... Which mode of learning was better and more efficient, and it was very controversial at first.

Su Zipeng also felt at first that it was better to "find the answer by yourself", no matter how many ideas the learning machine gave, if you don't remember it deeply, you will still forget it in the future.

But after the results of the monthly exam came out.

There were three classmates in the class who surpassed him.

One of the classmates, who was originally in the middle of the class, usually scored more than 100 points less than him, but this time he jumped to the second place in the class, scoring more than 30 points more than him.

After the grades have improved significantly, this classmate often has a sentence on his lips: "Xiaoxing learning machine is simply my Xueba system, it's too good!" ”

Therefore, for those students who are willing to learn, the Xiaoxing learning machine has generally become an artifact in their hands, like a tiger with wings.

So Su Zipeng couldn't sit still!

"If it goes on like this, I originally had the hope of going to a prestigious university, and it would be good if I could be admitted to the key points, and students with Xiaoxing learning machines have too much competitive advantage!"

"If I don't buy a small star, it will be surpassed by more and more people in the future, ranking further and lower, and finally ...... It's possible to just get a regular one. ”

"No, buy, must buy! If I don't buy it, I'll lose! ”

Thinking of this, Su Zipeng, who was extremely anxious, immediately dialed the phone number at home.
