1991 Starting from the core

There was silence on the phone for several seconds.

Then... Chen Jing kicked the ball back to Su Yuanshan.

"Then do you want to go, or don't you want to go?"

Su Yuanshan: "..."

Frankly speaking, after this circle of exchanges, he really focused on academic exchanges, whether in name or in practice - but students from Nibang and Nibang were too concerned about economic and social issues, so he answered like that Non-academic issues.

The reason... of course is that both he and his superiors hope to use him as a physics Nobel laureate to expand domestic influence in the academic world and deepen exchanges with the international academic community - and not just in graphite. This is a field.

Based on this, he accepted invitations from all the slightly "famous" universities and arranged the time for the next six months.

But the invitation from the island was only received yesterday.

"From the bottom of my heart, I still want to go." Su Yuanshan chuckled and said, "But I'm a little worried."

"What are you worried about?"

Su Yuanshan joked: "I'm afraid they will detain it and prevent me from leaving."

"...You are talking as if the island is full of cannibals."

"Well, I'm not worried about that - even if the authorities had the idea, they wouldn't dare to do it."

Chen Jing snorted softly: "It's good that you know."

——The most important thing on the island is face. When the situation is getting worse and worse, we dare not do anything to a world-renowned entrepreneur and Nobel Prize winner.

After a pause, Chen Jing asked again: "Compared with this, I am more concerned about the opinions from above?"

She knew that Su Yuanshan's status was extraordinary now. He was no longer the young man who could just buy a plane ticket and transfer directly from HK to the island twelve years ago.

Thinking of this, she fell silent again.

Fortunately, Su Yuan didn't give her a chance to recall, and immediately returned: "The leader's original words are: You can go wherever you want, why are you afraid that someone will kidnap you?"

"Okay... Then I hope you will come over, but be a little restrained." Chen Jing added: "That is, stop saying those words you said to me on the streets of TB twelve years ago."

"What did I say?"

"...Think for yourself."

…

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuanshan looked at the phone in silence for a few seconds, and finally a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

——Of course he remembered that Chen Daohua's Mei Jie was struggling under the challenges of many juniors in the same field, and his health happened to be in bad condition. Then Chen Jing, who returned home for the New Year, told Su Yuanshan that she would come back later.

So Su Yuanshan bought a ticket and went directly from HK to Taoyuan Airport without saying a word. Then within a few days, he helped Chen Daohua solve the problem and planned a high-end DIY route for Mei Jie.

From then on, Mei Jie stepped onto the fast track as if he had been reborn.

At that time, when Chen Jing was driving Su Yuanshan through the streets of TB, looking at the prosperous TB, Su Yuanshan made an assertion that in less than twenty years, or even ten years at most... this place will be surpassed by cities in the mainland, and this place will be... To gradually decline.

Now that ten years have just passed, not to mention the major cities in the mainland such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen that have emerged due to industry and finance, even the second-tier provincial capital cities that follow are gradually catching up in the scale of urban construction.

Chen Jing knows that she has always liked to "tell the truth."

And the people on the island...are becoming more and more glass-hearted now, and they cannot listen to the truth.

But, what does this have to do with Su Yuanshan?

…

In the next trip to Ni Country, Su Yuanshan visited Fujitsu, Toshiba, Nikon, NTT and other companies with many cooperation and exchanges. Of course, this was a purely courtesy visit and did not involve any commitments - most of them were to explore the tone. ——Look at these companies’ prospects for the free trade zone.

The results are of course gratifying. At the very least, these companies that have cooperated with Yuanxin are optimistic about the free trade zone - and as long as there are companies willing to follow up, then that sentence will be fulfilled, and everything will depend on inertia. .

Then, Su Yuanshan flew straight to Pocheng. Here, he happened to meet Yang Yiwen who came to visit relatives, so he stayed for a few more days after finishing his visit to Nanyang Polytechnic and the government.

Of course, Su Yuanshan has not forgotten Tang Wenjie's progress - as a specialized technology and architecture R\u0026D center, Tang Wenjie actually spends nearly half of every year in the wafer fab in Shanghai. He is not the kind of person who sits in the fab at all. It is an easy task to complete the task just by fiddling with the computer in the office.

Now Tang Wenjie and Liang Mengsong are already trying a process technology that uses the existing immersion 193nm lithography machine to realize the 14nm process. According to the speed of process node iteration, they are already more than eight years ahead of the technology. Layout.

As for the memory architecture, we can only talk about accumulating technology and experience at present - as long as Hynix completes the authorization, the integration of technology can be achieved.

On November 11th, Su Yuanshan came to HK. He stayed in HK for less than a week. After considering and meeting all the needs, he set off for the island and made the island his last stop. .

On November 18th, Su Yuanshan arrived at Taoyuan Airport.

What greeted him was Chen Jing, who returned to the island first - she believed that as a landlord, she should appear on the island with Su Yuanshan at this special time.

But from Su Yuanshan's point of view... she was still a little worried that he would "talk uncontrollably" and say something embarrassing.

…

"Sister Jing, it suddenly seems like yesterday."

Sitting in Chen Jing's car, Su Yuanshan was still half-lying in the passenger seat. He was wearing a seat belt, resting his hands on the back of his head, and lowered the seat a little, looking at the surrounding street scene and scenery in a comfortable manner. Cars come and go.

——As the two giants of Yuanxin, it is extremely rare and extremely cautious for them to appear in the same car at the same time. Therefore, there are at least three official cars in front of and behind the car to clear the way for Chen Jing.

"I knew you wanted to talk about old things again." Chen Jing drove the car attentively, glanced at Su Yuanshan, hummed slightly, but a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth involuntarily: "Are you trying to say that you are wise and powerful again?"

"Hehe... Just understand it by heart."

Chen Jing just smiled - when she heard that Su Yuanshan asked her to drive him back to the hotel, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart - just like Su Yuanshan said, it suddenly felt like yesterday.

Ten years ago, she was the one who took Su Yuanshan from the airport to the hotel.

She paid attention to the street scene around her, then pulled out the old scenes from ten years ago from her memory, and suddenly discovered... Su Yuanshan was right - TB, it has not changed in ten years.

No, there have been changes - the building in front of me is now more dilapidated than it was ten years ago.

She looked across the side street and saw a construction site - there was a skyscraper over there that had not been repaired for five years. It is said that this super high-rise building called 101 Building has a design plan of 508 meters. It is planned to be completed last year and put into use this year... and then become the benchmark of TB Financial Business District and a symbol of TB's development.

And its design height, so far, is the highest in the world - during the Asian financial crisis, the island was one of the few areas that was not affected, and inspired by the development of the technology and IT industries, in 1997 the island was actually still Quite ambitious.

However... as time went by, the Financial Co., Ltd. responsible for building the building discovered more and more why it became more and more difficult to repair it?

All of this is naturally closely related to the rapid rise of mainland China after the financial crisis.

Within five years, the technology companies that the island was proud of fled one after another, and Hsinchu Park began to gradually become deserted. Coupled with the lack of access to the Internet, the financial sector was squeezed by the highly advanced HK and Shanghai Stock Exchange...

As a result, the "world's tallest building", which symbolizes TB's financial status, "slowed down".

Although it has not completely stopped now, it seems that there is still some time before the main body is completed.

As the car turned, Su Yuanshan saw the roof of the building in the distance. He asked in surprise: "Huh? This unfinished building is so tall."

"...Where is the mess?"

"I didn't see it being repaired above..." Su Yuanshan calculated the height based on the reference, and was immediately surprised: "Isn't this the 101 Financial Building? It hasn't been repaired yet?"

"……Um."

"Hey...it's such a great success."

Su Yuanshan sighed and looked away.

A smile that left no trace appeared on the corner of his mouth - yes!

The next day, Su Yuanshan arrived at NTU.

As the leading comprehensive university on the island, NTU is a member of famous university alliances such as the Alliance of Pacific Rim Universities, the Alliance of Global University Advanced Research Institutes, the Association of East Asian Research Universities, and the Pine Alliance. Just looking at these names, you know that it is "mixed" It’s better than domestic universities.

At the very least, it’s bigger than the T on the island and much more NB...

After meeting with the president of NTU, both parties maintained good demeanor and etiquette. The other party's words were full of academic praise for Su Yuanshan and he didn't know whether it was sincere or not. Anyway, from a face point of view, NTU gave Su Yuanshan enough face.

"Professor Su, how about we invite you to visit our campus during your next trip?"

"Okay." Su Yuanshan smiled at the president of NTU: "I have been visiting for a month this time, and I have heard the most authentic Mandarin in our NTU."

The principal was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "The local pronunciation has not changed! Professor Su, please."

…

Accompanied by NTU leaders, the group first visited the campus. Su Yuanshan noticed that the atmosphere of the university here was actually no different from that in China... Well, mainly it was no different from P University ten years ago - the students had great Use your time to pursue your hobbies, even walking on campus is very leisurely.

Su Yuanshan also noticed that a small number of students were filming videos on their mobile phones, and they seemed to be filming "movies" - this was probably the "micro-movie" activities of these students in response to ivideo.

In comparison, domestic science and engineering universities, such as the Department of Electrical Engineering... are really not so leisurely. At the very least, Su Yuanshan knew that the electrical engineering students were either in the laboratory or on their way to the laboratory...

Of course, there are also quite a few games played in the dormitory.

"Professor Su, Professor Su."

Just as Su Yuanshan and his party left the campus road and walked toward the administration building, three students, two women and one man, ran over from the side.

…

Su Yuanshan looked at him in astonishment.

I saw one of the girls holding a microphone in her hand, and the boy holding a video camera. All three of them had nameplates hanging on their chests.

Is this... a roadside interview?

Su Yuanshan looked at the principal suspiciously.

The principal was also a little surprised. He winked at another leader, who understood, stepped forward to stop the three of them, and asked kindly: "What's wrong with you three students?"

"Professor Chen, we are from the school news club and would like to interview Professor Su in advance. We also hope that Professor Su, Principal Guo and Professor Chen will give us a chance. Thank you."

The leading girl panted slightly and bowed to Su Yuanshan.

Principal Guo frowned without leaving any trace, but did not object immediately. Instead, he looked at Su Yuanshan and asked with a smile: "That depends on Professor Su's opinion."

"Well, okay." Su Yuanshan glanced at the three students and stood up with a smile.

——Because he saw that the boy carrying the camera did not turn it on, and this move made him feel good about him.

"But because time is limited, I can only answer two questions." Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded: "As for the difficulty of these two questions and the length of my answer... it depends on the quality of your questions."

The girl was startled at first, then overjoyed. She signaled the boy to turn on the camera, and then took another look at the paper jammed in her hand.

Although the other leaders of NTU were a little dissatisfied that their group was stopped, they saw Su Yuanshan's magnanimity and cooperation, so they showed considerable grace and stood aside with a smile, allowing Su Yuanshan to reveal the position of the camera lens.

"Professor Su, as a winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, what do you think of the current situation of basic science in mainland China? And..."

The girl licked her lips and continued to ask: "As the founder of Yuanxin and the leader of global technology companies, how do you view the current situation of technological development on the island?"

Su Yuanshan looked at the girl, the surprise in his eyes flashed away.

This little girl asked really good questions - the worst he could do was that she would ask about cross-strait relations and future development, and then he would have to be embarrassed and do Tai Chi.

"Answer your first question first."

Su Yuanshan looked at the camera with a smile: "I can sum up the current situation of basic science in mainland China in one sentence."

"——The road is tortuous, but the future is bright."

Su Yuanshan saw that the girl was hiding a little disappointment in her eyes very well, so he laughed and said: "This sentence seems to be tiger balm, but you must know that the reason why tiger balm is tiger balm is precisely because it is universal and can explain and It solves a lot of problems...right?"

The girl was startled, but finally nodded.

"As for the current status of technological development on the island..." Su Yuanshan looked around, remained silent for a few seconds and then smiled the same way: "It can also be described in four words."

"What four words are they?"

"The road is long and difficult."
