I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 495 Do you want to challenge computational materials science?

Qin Ke was not surprised, because what appeared in front of him was a rather unfamiliar street.

The flat and wide concrete road is covered with flowers on both sides of the road, and even the dilapidated shops along the street have been renovated.

Is this still the old street in his impression that is paved with old bluestone slabs, the road is potholed, and it is easy to be flooded when it rains?

Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the big red banner at the top of the street, with a big line of text fluttering in the wind:

"Warmly congratulate Qin Ke, a young mathematician in our town, for winning the internationally renowned mathematics award-Mathematics Breakthrough Award!"

The most exaggerated thing is that there are many small banners and slogans around, which are filled with "Learn from Qin Ke, strive to be the successor of mathematics!" "Develop the cause of mathematics and win glory for the country in the future!" "Mathematics strong town, you and I create together!"

Qin Ke rubbed his nose, and finally understood what was going on. It must be that the town felt that such a famous person in the small town was proud enough, and wanted to use this shareholder style to develop the town into a strong town in mathematics. .

And they were also worried that when superiors came to condolences or media reporters came to interview Qin Ke's family, the poor environment of the street would affect the face of the town, so they rushed to start construction and repaired the street to a new look.

Qin Ke had to sigh, this time the town moved fast enough, and the work efficiency was surprisingly higher. It has only been seven or eight days since he won the mathematics breakthrough award, and such a large project has been completed.

As soon as Qin Ke sent off the Qingning Technology employee who drove him to leave, a passing acquaintance recognized him and shouted in surprise: "Qin Ke is back!"

The originally quiet and leisurely town seemed to be awakened. A large number of neighbors came out of their homes and greeted Qin Ke enthusiastically.

"Qin Ke, you are amazing. I saw you on the news of CC1 a few days ago. What kind of award did you win in mathematics? It's amazing. The news said that this is the first time a mathematician in our country has won such a prize. big prize!"

"I've said it a long time ago. There have been magpies calling at Qin Ke's house for the past few days. There must be a happy event. No, Qin Ke won the international award. Isn't this better than the number one in the college entrance examination? Isn't it, Qin Ke .”

"Oh, it's a pity that Qin Ke has a wife. Otherwise, I would like to introduce the granddaughter of my third aunt and uncle's family to him. She will worship boys who are good at mathematics."

"Qin Ke, why did you come back, where is your wife?"

"Qin Ke, didn't the city send a special car to take you back? Last time, the important people in the city came to your house to sit..."

Although it is estimated that these uncles and aunts don't even know what the Mathematical Breakthrough Award is, let alone mathematical terms such as the Polignac conjecture, it does not prevent them from being proud of such a talented student in the town.For a while, the town was so lively that it was like a festival. Every family came to chat for a few words, and many people even asked for a group photo.

Because tomorrow is the senior high school entrance examination, and the examination room will be set up today, Qin Xiaoke doesn't have to go back to school. She ran out of the house in surprise when she heard the movement: "Brother, why are you back?"

Qin Ke's throat was already a little dry from dealing with the neighbors: "I'll talk about it later, where are my parents? Let them come out to greet the guests."

Father Qin Yanghui and mother Shen Qiuyi were both there, and they just came out to welcome them. They were surprised to see Qin Ke come home suddenly, but they didn't have time to talk to Qin Ke, so they hurriedly greeted the guests.

Qin Ke had just had a sip of tea when he got home, and before he sat on the hot stool, the leaders of the town also came to greet him in person after hearing the news. The town's ambassador for math outreach.

This is not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated is that countless parents brought their children who are about to take the high school entrance examination to shake hands with Qin Ke, saying that they want to be blessed by the God of Mathematics, and even heard the news from the neighboring town and drove specially Parents with children.

Later, it was the leaders of the town who were afraid that Qin Ke would be tired, so they hurriedly persuaded everyone to leave, and this wave of enthusiasm finally subsided.

When the family finally calmed down, Qin Ke was sore all over, even his fingers were stiff.

Qin Ke remembered what he had heard before. After a 14-year-old diving Olympic champion became famous, the whole village became popular and became an Internet celebrity village. Now he feels that this small town in Qingping, his hometown, will sooner or later There will be this trend.

No wonder someone wants to be famous every day. Now even if he doesn't do any scientific research, he only charges one yuan for a handshake fee. It is estimated that his monthly income can exceed [-]% of urban white-collar workers.

While complaining in his heart, Qin Ke wondered if he should just go back to the capital earlier. He made a mistake. He won the Chern Prize in Mathematics before, and he didn't get such an exaggerated treatment when he returned home during the Spring Festival.

Qin Xiaoke giggled and brought warm water to help Qin Ke soak his hands and knead his fingers.

Qin Yanghui was paralyzed on the sofa, with a cigarette in his mouth, and said lazily: "Qin Ke, remember to tell me in advance next time you go home, I will prepare some cigarettes to disperse, this time you caught me by surprise, my family hides All the dozen or so cigarettes I had were gone, and this is the last one left."

My mother, Shen Qiuyi, was worried about the fruits that filled the hall: "How to deal with so many fruits? What do you think, Xiao Ke?"

Those parents who brought their children to enjoy the blessing of the god of learning, of course, would not come empty-handed, they would often bring some apples and oranges that symbolize peace and auspiciousness, and the result is that the fruits from the fruit stalls in the whole town were probably transferred to Qin Ke's house.

Qin Ke saw that although his parents tried their best to pretend to be calm, they couldn't hide the joy and pride in their eyes.

He was a little dumbfounded at first, but now he couldn't help showing a smile.

Since he was a child, he has set his goal of learning the gods, and he has the driving force of "making his parents proud of him in the future". Now it can be said that he has basically achieved this small goal.

"Mom, you really think it's easy to handle these fruits." Qin Ke stretched his waist, let Qin Xiaoke help him knead his fingers and then help him beat his shoulders: "Let Dad move all the fruits to Qingming tomorrow." In front of the school gate of Ping Elementary School, write the letter 'Qin Ke's best wishes to his juniors and sisters, everyone will have a copy', and it will be emptied soon."

As for why they were not sent to Qingping Middle School, it was naturally because tomorrow was the senior high school entrance examination, and the order of the high school entrance examination could not be disturbed.

Shen Qiuyi clapped her hands with a smile: "Good idea. Sure enough, Xiao Ke is right. If you are in doubt, it's right to ask you. By the way, why didn't Xiao Qingyun come back with you?"

"I came back to urge Xiao Ke to take the exam well. Qingyun still has classes at school."

"Brother, how can I need your supervision? Just wait, I will definitely bring you back to the top [-] in the grade!" Qin Xiaoke was triumphant.

Qin Ke was funny, turned over and sat up, stretched out his hand to flick Qin Xiaoke's forehead: "I have been tutoring you for almost four months, and you set a goal of being top [-] in the grade?"

"Woo...it hurts, bro, I'm not you, how can I get the first place, only the top 100, I can be [-]% sure!"

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't get the top ten in your grade, don't call me Qin Ke's sister when you go out in the future."

"Woo...can I be in the top [-] of my grade?"

"Top ten in grade."

"Brother, you are a devil!"

"That's all, all right, little girl, hurry up and take a shower and sleep, I'll send you to the school exam in person tomorrow."

"Hmph, okay."

Seeing Qin Xiaoke running to take a bath with her mouth pursed in dissatisfaction, the corners of Qin Ke's mouth curled up slightly.

To be honest, although he also wanted Qin Xiaoke to get good grades in the exam, he was not really obsessed with grades.After all, no matter what grades Qin Xiaoke got in the exam, he could go to Yingyuan Private High School.

He just hopes that Qin Xiaoke can take the important key points of life like the high school entrance examination seriously, do his best, and not let down the hard work and sweat he has put in during this period of time.

After all, this is the first time my younger sister has been studying hard like this since she was a child.He really wanted his sister to have something to gain, and he planted in his heart the idea of ​​"no pain, no gain".

This was the main reason why he came back from the capital to accompany the exam.

……

The next day's high school entrance examination came as scheduled, so Qin Ke simply put on a disguise before going out, and instead of walking with his sister, he asked his parents to send Qin Xiaoke off in front, and he followed behind more than ten meters away.

When I came to the gate of Qingping Junior High School, I saw the words "I advise everyone to learn from Qin Ke and win glory for the country" written on the school wall. Qin Ke stroked his forehead, and even his alma mater "fell"...

Quietly waving goodbye to Qin Xiaoke who was in the distance, Qin Ke watched her enter the examination room, and then sat down at the milk tea shop opposite the school, waiting for the Chinese subject examination to end in two and a half hours, and then picked up her sister home.

There were also many parents accompanying the exam in the milk tea shop, but they were all thinking about their children's exams, so they didn't recognize Qin Ke who was wearing sunglasses, a fake beard and a hat.

Qin Ke enjoyed the rare tranquility. He ordered a cup of milk tea, turned on his laptop and put on headphones, pretending to be watching a movie, but his consciousness had already entered the virtual scientific research experiment center.

In the virtual world, the "chip technology laboratory" has been opened, but because Qin Ke has no contact with or owns the chip manufacturing equipment, naturally the projection cannot be made. The only tool in it is Qin Ke's expensive laptop.

Qin Ke really likes to do scientific research in this virtual world. Among other things, he can turn his thoughts into words or codes just by thinking, which is comparable to him typing on the keyboard or "speaking out" with his lips. It is much more convenient to convert from low light to text or code.

At present, Xu Qingyan has returned to the EDA project team, and everything has returned to normal.The EDA team headed by chief engineer Luo Jian has high morale and high enthusiasm for work, which makes the development of EDA faster than Qin Ke imagined.

For Qin Ke, the EDA main design framework and core module rules he is responsible for have all been completed, leaving only the improvement of advanced algorithms in the "Engineering Library" and the most characteristic "Module Library" rules.

The module library is related to the applicability of EDA. Each module requires Qin Ke to write the main ideas and rules, and then the EDA team will refine and supplement it, and finally the Qingning intelligent programming will be converted into specific codes.

If all goes well, it should not be a problem to launch a new EDA beta version with relatively complete functions by early September.

In fact, such progress spread enough to shock the world.

You must know that EDA software is more complicated than the operating system.

A high-end CPU often involves tens of billions of transistors. If you want to form these transistors into a microcircuit in an efficient and reasonable way, you need to carry out wiring and test verification. What a huge amount of engineering.And all of this requires EDA to automatically process, and EDA also needs to transform the engineer's logical design thinking into specific hardware technology and specific circuit diagrams.That's why EDA is called "its significance is no less than that of a lithography machine", "whoever masters EDA will have the dominance in the chip field".

EDA development is also notoriously difficult. Even Synopsys, the world's top EDA software giant, will spend three to five years developing a new version of EDA. Under the premise of joint efforts of engineers.

Now the EDA project team headed by "Mr. Q" can make such rapid progress. On the one hand, with the semi-finished EDA of petals as the basis, the modification of the interface specification can be used, which can save a lot of time.

On the other hand, it is because Qin Ke has a brand-new EDA design idea and algorithm library core idea provided by system tasks, which can directly guide the most correct direction and avoid detours, and the team is almost all involved in the development of Petal EDA, with rich experience , can quickly refine and improve the main frame and design ideas of Qin Ke's design.

What's more, now with "Lime Smart Programming", all code writing work can be automatically completed by artificial intelligence, and the team only needs to perform secondary inspection and optimization of the code, which greatly saves human resources and reduces DEBUG time , and the latter is often the most time-consuming link...

At this time, Qin Ke entered the virtual scientific research and experiment center, and what he was doing was writing the advanced algorithms of the "Engineering Library". This part of the work was the most difficult, and he led Ning Qingyun to solve it himself.

In this concentration, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Feeling that his brain had entered a period of fatigue, Qin Kecai withdrew from the virtual scientific research experiment center, and his consciousness returned to reality.

In the hour of extreme speed thinking just now, only about ten advanced algorithms have been completed, and these advanced algorithms in the "engineering library" need to be continuously optimized and improved, at least until the official version is released, they must be continuously supplemented.

It's true that the road is hard but the future is bright.

Qin Ke just took a sip of milk tea and got up to move his hands and feet, when he accidentally found a missed call in his phone.

Because he didn't want to be disturbed by the algorithm writing work, Qin Ke set the phone to silent, so naturally he didn't hear the call.

He picked up his mobile phone and looked at the number of the caller. It was an unfamiliar number, and he called twice.

In order not to miss an important call, Qin Ke still dialed back.

It was quickly connected over there, and a middle-aged man's voice came from inside: "It's Qin Ke, right? I'm He Liangfu from the School of Materials Science and Technology, do you remember me?"

Qin Ke remembered it all at once, and hurriedly said: "Hello, Professor He, you taught me an elective course of 'Composite Materials' last semester. Your lecture was very good, and I was very impressed."

This Professor He Liangfu is about 40 years old this year, but he is already a senior expert in the field of chemical materials. He is good at subdivided fields such as composite materials, nano-heterostructure materials, and carbon nanotubes. He has taught in the Department of Chemical Engineering and the School of Materials. He is well-known in the field of chemical materials.

"Hehe, Qin Ke, you and Ning Qingyun were the only two full marks in my composite materials course last semester, and I was even more impressed by your talents. This time I called to ask Are you interested in the subject of computational materials science? According to Professor Hu Qingfeng from the Department of Physics, you two are very good at computational fluid dynamics, and you also showed excellent talents and accomplishments in computational biology at the beginning of the year. Would you like Let’s challenge the computational materials science that has the same goal through different routes?”
