Chapter 104: Fab Cooperation
An hour later, the Blues Cafe.
A middle-aged man with a Chinese face sat in a booth by the window, with an open notebook in front of him, his expression was serious, as if he was contemplative.
The night breeze blew through the empty window, and the middle-aged man raised his head, and when he saw the comer, he closed his notebook and smiled on his face.
"Leaves." Then, he looked at Ye Ming with a slight surprise: "This is?" ”
"The newly released ACM champion team player, the talented boy who will be able to do it in his freshman year." Ye Rudai smiled and let go of Ye Ming behind her: "Ye Ming, this is Dr. Qin Weimin, you just call him Uncle Qin." ”
"Uncle Qin is good." After Ye Ming called someone, he sat down next to Professor Ye very obediently.
"Good fellow, so many titles?" Dr. Qin Weimin was a little surprised, he knew that his younger brother and sister would not exceed the degree even if he joked: "Do I have a big electrical department?" ”
"No, it's not important — it's important, it's important that this guy said that his mentor's company has a lot of business that needs fab cooperation." Ye Rudai turned her head to look at Ye Ming, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "So I brought it to you." ”
"Working with fabs?" Dr. Qin Weimin looked suspicious: "Which chip design company is your mentor?" ”
"Well, yes and no." Ye Ming clenched his fists under the table, took two gentle breaths and looked at Qin Weimin: "Uncle Qin, I don't know if you have noticed that there is a paper in the field of materials science recently. ”
"Material papers?" Qin Weimin frowned slightly: "We are a wafer factory, and we rarely pay attention to the papers in the materials industry - you directly say, what is the content of the paper." ”
Ye Ming was depressed.
"That's right." Ye Ming looked at the computer in front of Qin Weimin, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can you use your computer to open arxiv?" ”
"Yes."
Qin Weimin turned on the computer: "You tell me which one it is." ”
"It is a paper called "The Synthesis Theory and Molecular Motion Conjecture of a New Polymer Compound GTRGD", in the physical sciences, in the classification of materials."
Qin Weimin clicked as he said, and then glanced at Ye Ming deeply.
"You're a communicator?"
"Hmm."
"Awesome!" Qin Weimin gave a thumbs up and quickly looked down.
Ye Ming held the drink and looked at Qin Weimin with burning eyes.
No way...... This opportunity to have direct access to the fab executives...... Frankly, catch once less.
Now that he has caught it, he can't let the opportunity go away easily.
As time passed little by little, Ye Ming saw that Qin Weimin's expression gradually became solemn.
By the end, his brow was even furrowed.
He clicked the mouse again and again, as if to confirm something.
In the end, Dr. Qin raised his head and looked at Ye Ming, his eyes were already full of incredulity and shock.
"You...... Is this true? ”
"There's no need for me to show you one of my fake papers in front of Uncle Qin, and the progress of this paper has also reached peer review."
Hearing Nature, Ye Rudai beside him instantly widened his eyes.
"You sent nature?!"
"Well, peer review should be fine – after all, there are a lot of experiments that come up with reproduction, but it doesn't matter." Ye Ming looked at Dr. Qin with a blazing gaze: "Uncle Qin, the important thing is that this material must be driven by integrated circuits. ”
"Wait, you let me take a break...... I've been so busy these days. Dr. Qin stretched out his hand to stop Ye Ming, and his two thumbs kept rubbing his temples.
Ye Ming smiled slightly: "Uncle Qin, this chip will be used in various fields such as god general repair and brain-computer in the future, but because it must invade the body and combine with nerves, it must be highly integrated." But because it doesn't require much signal processing to connect with the nerves, it doesn't require much of a process. ”
"And we are also able to provide supporting EDA tools to design this special chip, so ...... As long as the fab can develop this process for integrating chips, we can easily promote it and even popularize it. ”
Ye Rudai on the side listened like a book from heaven, her mouth was slightly open, and her eyes kept wandering between Ye Ming and Qin Weimin.
Qin Weimin's eyes kept changing, he glanced at the preprinted paper again, but he still looked at Ye Ming after all.
"You said your paper was peer-reviewed...... Did you pass it? ”
"I don't know, I look at the status in the afternoon, it's the status of submission to peer review."
As he spoke, Ye Ming took out his mobile phone.
Big deal, he took another look.

NCC, Composites Laboratory.
As a veteran researcher, Ezio had been a peer reviewer in the field of nature materials for a long time, and he was known for his ability to slap his face and make harsh comments.
Even himself, in order to ridicule certain phenomena in the field of materials, he once used bird droppings mixed with materials to publish a paper in earnest...... When the paper was finally issued, he told his colleagues around the world at arxiv that I was doping bird droppings.
But...... Looking at the manuscript sent by his old classmates for him to do peer review, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Since the reappearance of the GTRGD material, he has not eaten well and slept well in the past two days.
As a polymer materials scientist, he can count the structure of what mother liquor and what material and what molecular formula can be obtained in what way with his eyes closed.
But the way this GTRGD material was born turned his perception on its head.
No, it is not just that the system of general cognition and materials science is subverted, but the author gives an unacceptable hypothesis in the final analysis.
- The author made up a formula based on the whimsy of general relativity and the Standard Model of particles, and then derived several equations from the formulas, solved the equations to obtain several sets of data, and obtained new materials from the data......
And according to logic, the whims of this author are also true.
Grabbing his hair, Ezio looked at the manuscript on his computer that he had read on Arxiv for an unknown number of times.
After pondering for a long time, he wrote down his comments.
"For your paper, although I strongly disapprove of this kind of laboratory report type of paper, groundbreaking discoveries should not be imprisoned by tradition."
"Your findings are good, and my lab reproduces them perfectly, and I hope you will be able to refine your formulas and theories soon."
"Your Ezio."
Looking at this review, which he had been the most "pleasant" in years, Ezio let out a long sigh.
Perhaps, as the old classmates said, a new era has come.
At the very least, a door was opened by this ordinary Oriental undergraduate student.
……
Shanghai, Blues Cafe.
Ye Ming looked at the email he had just received, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and raised his mobile phone towards Qin Weimin.
"Looks like it just passed."
