Hammer of Technology

Of course, after a few years, many people in the school will most likely regret it.If it had been done more appropriately at the beginning, maybe Ning Weizhen would have gone?

In fact, if it wasn’t for the accident of a million points that gave Ning Wei more choices, and the old Ning has always held a respectful and indifferent attitude towards Ning Wei’s study abroad, maybe he and Lloyd Adams are brothers. related.

It is said that under the influence of Professor Ken, this Lloyd Adams is also one of Ningwei's fans.

So after learning about this, Ning Wei also commented on his social platform: "Listen to my advice, ignore Google, jump up and slap him in the face!"

Although this sentence was posted on China's media, it was written in English, and it was specifically @Imperial Technology University's official Weibo in China.

However, when the matter developed to the point where the two sides actually started a lawsuit, Ning Wei put the matter aside.After all, he didn't really go to Imperial College to learn from Ken, and everyone's relationship is only enough to support this sentence on the Internet.After all, he had no interest in the Modeling company, and considering his age, Professor Ken was about to retire, and his little bond with Imperial College disappeared with the retirement of Old Ken.

And if you want to ask Ning Wei's real opinion, it's a good thing for a start-up company like Modeling to sell directly to Google.It's better to take some money and do other things than run this kind of business.

Not only the UK, but in fact, from the perspective of the whole of Europe, it has fallen behind in the Internet age.And there are no eye-catching companies.AlphaGo, which was studied by Deep Mind in the early years, has indeed amazed an era.It's a pity that it was also after being acquired by Google. It seems that there is no soil for these Internet-based high-tech companies to thrive.

Even Germany, whose high-tech industry once led the world.In this era, the most advanced technology is probably only Infineon, one of the representatives of semiconductors, and the optical field technology that was once indispensable for chip manufacturing.In the era when the three-dimensional silicon-based heterogeneous three-dimensional chip manufacturing industry is becoming more and more popular, former industry leaders like Infineon are also facing the trouble of transformation.

Especially in the era when [-]D display is bound to Ningxin, ASML, the former leading lithography machine company, is struggling to survive.Once the darling of the world's semiconductor industry, is facing a dilemma related to choice. In the case of high manufacturing costs, the price of top-level lithography machines has been greatly reduced, struggling to survive, or a strong man will cut his wrist and give up continuing to promote the next generation of lithography. Machine research, and turn to the development of new manufacturing models...

No matter which one you choose, it seems to be very difficult now.The point is that it depends on the attitude of related companies in Huaxia.

This is another embarrassing thing.After all, the relationship between the two sides could not be said to be good.But there is no way, the industry is changing too fast, and consumers vote with their feet, directly making the prospects of the entire industry less clear.

The fact now is that the combination of Ningxin and Hongmeng system is the best support for the three-dimensional displays that are looted by the market.Whether it is the former combination of Intel and Microsoft, or other products, although it can also make the [-]D mode run, there will always be one or another deficiency.It will probably take some time for the two sides to get in touch. Not only technical problems need to be overcome, but also the two sides have to discuss various artificially formulated technical standards.

Technical unification is not difficult, what is difficult is the contradictions and differences that naturally arise when everyone sits together.

But no matter how noisy, one thing is the industry's default.Traditional silicon-based chips in this era can only be regarded as second-rate products.It is necessary to face negative market sentiments such as relatively saturated market, lack of consumers' desire to buy machines, and more sensitive to prices.

The emerging two-dimensional and three-dimensional conversion market is completely opposite. Compared with the global demand, the output is obviously insufficient, the market demand is still large, and consumers have a strong desire to buy, and even accept a premium.

Reflecting on the industry itself, it is probably that the products of Ningxin and Apple are still hot, especially after the new generation of electric vehicle technology of Huawei and Apple has begun to be equipped with three-dimensional navigation display technology, the products of the two companies have become popular again. saute.

In this situation, it is not only equipment suppliers like ASML that are frustrated, but those foundries and packaging factories upstream and downstream of the entire semiconductor industry chain are having a more difficult time at this time.

For example, TSMC...

Once the largest chip processing plant in the world, orders were received softly.

It is no exaggeration to say that when it sneezes, the price of chips in the world can be hit to a peak...

However, the order volume has been declining since last year, and this year there has even been a surplus of internal production lines.There are not so many orders anymore, but it would be a huge loss if the machines that produce chips stop. As a last resort, several production lines have been completely stopped.

What is even more frightening is that the decrease in order volume has also seen a downward trend in unit prices.Of course, this is also understandable. When traditional silicon-based chips are only suitable for second-rate products in consumers' minds, TSMC's customers must desperately lower prices.There is no right or wrong, it is nothing more than wanting to survive in the current situation.

With the online lottery carnival where an academician gave birth to a son in March, the entire semiconductor industry has reached the point where it may die if it does not change.

For this reason, TSMC changed the helm.The new helm has stayed in Huaxia Capital for half a year, and wants to introduce a new generation of chip manufacturing production lines to continue its glory.

Ning Wei knew this because the young man at the helm did not know how many layers of beating around the bush, so that Ning Wei had to sell the face of a big boss to have a meal.During the meal, the helmsman's posture was very low, but it can only be said that he used the wrong place.Because how the entire industrial chain works, Ning Wei himself doesn't know much about it, let alone say anything.

Although Ning Xin is named after him, in fact Ning Wei has never participated in the operation of the entire industrial chain.The production of high-precision growth machine tools, various supporting equipment, etc. involve the efforts of tens of thousands of people, the orders of upstream factories, the construction of production lines, etc., which involve the distribution of countless benefits. Not to mention that idea.

Fortunately, as he grew older, Ning Wei became more proficient in handling such things.

It is nothing more than praising the long-lasting friendship between the two parties, and then expressing that they must strongly support the determination of someone on Taiwan Island to contribute to the cause of Huaxia Semiconductor. It doesn't matter, but you must go and ask for help.

The impassioned brotherhood at the dinner table, and then leave contact information.On the car returning after dinner, the number of the wine and meat friends was directly blacklisted-the dinner was handled to the satisfaction of all.

Ning Wei didn't have much emotion about this.

In fact, every industrial revolution is like this. When advanced industries eliminate backward production capacity, they will not leave too much time for everyone to react.For Ning Wei, the results of the basic physics laboratory are the most important.

Whether the alien mining program can be launched in the next decade depends on the results of the laboratory.It is a pity that some companies could have continued to be brilliant, but they were eliminated in the torrent of history, and they will not be able to participate in the competition of the next era.No worries, just rules.

These little things are just spices that enrich life.

Of course, when the time came to October, another small event began to enrich Ningwei's life.Over there, the discussion about this year's Nobel Prize is once again making ripples on the Internet.

In fact, if you really pay attention to the Nobel Prize, you will find that the most discussed one in October is actually the Nobel Prize in Literature.As for other awards, most of them only arouse small-scale attention and discussions in some more professional forums.

This is actually related to the knowledge structure of most people.

Whether it is physical chemistry or biomedicine, it involves extremely professional knowledge. When analyzing who can win the award, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the research fields of those leaders in the relevant industry over the years, and also have a deep understanding of the cutting-edge research of the relevant majors. Only by dabbling in the research direction can we analyze something useful.

For the vast majority of people in this world, not to mention understanding the specific analysis content, just those scientific terms that require super long attributives to define accurately, the only feeling they can give everyone is that they don’t know what is going on.

For example, a frontier research direction in physics, using AdS/CFT duality to study the properties of low-energy chromodynamics, such as chiral phase transition, confinement phase transition, chromatic superconductivity and quark-gluon plasma properties, as well as condensed matter physics Some phenomena in , such as high-temperature superconductivity, Hall effect, KT phase transition, strange metals, Fermi liquids, non-Fermi liquids, topological insulators, cold atomic systems, etc. Breakthroughs have been made in the theory and other aspects and in the study of the properties of related low-energy quantum chromodynamics.

Looking at it separately, each word is not difficult, and no uncommon words are used, but when combined together, people who have not studied related majors can only look confused.I can't really comment on the sentence "To study these, coal is needed, and coal needs to be cleaned..."

Not to mention that this is just a discussion of a research direction, involving any of these issues, it is all kinds of complex formulas and equations that make people's heads bubble up.No external field Heisenberg model, Hamiltonian expansion, ▽θ(r)=σθ/σx*x (unit vector in x direction) + σθ/σx*y (unit vector in y direction)…

The expressions that these professionals seem to be extremely simple can make ordinary people doubt whether they are the same creature as the people who study these things.

But literature is different. Once you know a thousand Chinese characters, you can give pointers to any literary work on the Internet, stir up words, and if it sparks a debate, you can also analyze your own opinions from multiple dimensions. Find mistakes?nonexistent!Whether it is literature itself or literary appreciation, it is always a very subjective matter. It seems that it is a reason to give the original author a reading comprehension question, and it is possible to get a very low score...

Is there any real correct answer in literature?All its value lies in the recognition of universality.The so-called world masterpieces are only admired by the vast majority of people in the industry. Shengdou Xiaomin, who only knows a thousand characters, is qualified to say what a certain famous book is about, because he really doesn't like it...

The great thing about science is that if you don't like a certain theorem, unless you can find evidence to falsify it, you can only accept it no matter how much you don't like it. If you come up with fallacies and heresies, those real experts will take a closer look and they will be true. lost...

But at the literary level, even if you don't like world famous works, you can spray a few words. As long as you don't like them, how old are you?

Therefore, 1 people can really have 1 opinions on who is worthy of the Nobel Prize and who is not.Any writer in the world can come up with a debate. If the writer I like is not selected, there must be something shady.And things like shady scenes are the most exciting discussions for everyone.

But what is different this year is that the topic of whether Ningwei can win the award has begun to be heated up on the Huaxia Internet, achieving zero breakthroughs.

Although it is said that Yang and Li, two real masters in history, have won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of parity non-conservation, but the two masters have already joined the American nationality when they won the prize, and they can only be regarded as Chinese. .

Ning Wei is different. Not only has he never changed his nationality, he even has no experience of studying abroad. He is a purely Chinese native-trained scientist. Although his research achievements in physics are not long, his achievements have already been advertised as 21st century physics. The greatest advance in academia.

The news doesn't even use "one" to limit...

This is really suitable for hype...

486 Controversy over the Nobel Prize

For the media, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

The whole world knows that the March Award founded by Ning is currently the biggest competitor of the Nobel Prize in the global field. Not only are the two awards similar in prize money, but the March Award covers the Nobel Prize in addition to the Literature Award and the Peace Prize. All other awards.

Over the years since the March Awards began to operate, the two awards have been quietly competing in many fields.Even when the March Awards were first established, Ning Wei directly pointed out that the selection process of the Nobel Prize, which has lasted for a hundred years, was not transparent enough, far less open and transparent than the selection mode of the March Awards scoring system.

At that time, this kind of science award was not favored by the media.

At that time, Ning Wei was still a mathematician, and as we all know, there is no mathematics award in the Nobel Prize, so no matter how Ning Wei took the Nobel Prize as a target, no one would have thought that there would be a certain a dramatic scene...

But who would have thought that in today's increasingly subdivided disciplines, Ning Wei, at the age of less than 30, has made great achievements in physics recognized by the world's physics community, and successfully won the qualification for the Nobel Prize in Physics ...

This is very interesting.

A founder of the March Science Award, who competed with the Nobel Prize, has become the most popular candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physics this year. If this kind of topic is not caught by the keen media and heated up, it will look down on the mass media Practitioners' ability to control hot events...

So after the well-loved seven-day National Day holiday, almost the entire Internet is full of discussions about whether the Nobel Physics Prize Committee will hold its nose and award this year's Nobel Prize in Physics to Ning Wei.

How hot is it?

Let's put it this way, it is said that there are even foreign websites that directly open the market, so that everyone can bet on whether Ningwei can be selected.

In addition, the Internet has memories. At the first award ceremony of the March Awards, Ning Wei satirized the Nobel Prize's self-styled and completely opaque speeches by the media. Countless netizens are more keen to discuss this topic...

"Pfft, I think Academician Ning who watched this video again this year and the judges of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences are so silent... The former didn't expect that he might be eligible to win the Nobel Prize after many years, and the latter didn't expect that they might be able to win the Nobel Prize after many years. To give the Nobel Prize to the former..."

"The most interesting thing about this matter is that if this year's Nobel Prize really has Academician Ning, it will feel like taking $100 million to face the award. You say that our selection is not transparent, but we will give you the award Yes. If academician Ning Wei loses the election, then Academician Ning Wei will be able to make a big statement about the opacity of the Nobel Prize review when the academician will award in March next year. They can achieve mutual success and face each other, haha..."

"This is really cool. I also think that the feelings of both parties are probably very complicated at this time, but the degree of complexity is still different. There is no doubt that the stage that has not yet been announced should be the judges of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences." It's more complicated. After the results are announced, it should be Academician Ning's turn to be complicated."

"In fact, everyone has overlooked a problem. The March Science Award is the heart and soul of Academician Ning. I bet 100 yuan that Academician Ning actually hopes that the Nobel Prize will not be given to him, so that the March Science Award will be forever in the future. Haha , someone is in a dilemma!"

"Cold knowledge, Ning Wei said at the beginning of the March Science Award that in order to ensure the fairness of the March Science Award, he will never participate in the selection of any award for the March Science Award."

……

There is a very high degree of discussion on this matter on the Internet. People are not just looking forward to whether Ning Wei will win the award, but more people still participate in it with a mentality of watching the excitement.

It is indeed a very interesting thing. It is not common for friends and businessmen to discredit each other between two world-class awards in academia.It's as if Fields and Wolfe won't blackmail each other if they have nothing to do.

This kind of fun can only be seen once in this life. Of course, if Ning Wei is selected this year, it may cause another controversy in the coming year.

For the parties involved, um, it depends on which party is involved...

At least Ning Wei doesn't have any dilemma, but it is impossible to say that it has no effect at all.

The Fundamentals of Physics Laboratory co-organized with Yanbei University has attracted hundreds of foreign scientists, many of whom happen to be the ones that the Nobel Prize Review Committee sends invitations every year to ask them to nominate.When these academic leaders come here, they will often meet with Ning Wei, and they will always mention one or two sentences: "Ning, the name on my recommendation letter this year is yours..."

There are still some dumbfounding emotions.

Netizens are right about one thing. Five years ago, he really never thought that one day he would become one of the strong contenders for the Nobel Prize.But to be honest, Ning Wei has long been very indifferent about whether he can win an award.

For example, when he learned that he could win the Fields Medal, his heart was actually very peaceful.It's as if the child wanted to surprise his father and took out his most precious card to dedicate to his father.As a father, I have to act very moved and very happy, but in fact, there is no disturbance deep in my heart. At most, the emotion or expectation that this child will definitely be filial in the future arises in my heart...

Of course, winning an award is a good thing. Speaking of it, it can win glory for the country, win honor for the mentor, and make many people happy.

As for the $100 million prize money and medals of the Nobel Prize, it is not very attractive to Ning Wei.He didn't even bother to count the millions of dollars in prize money for the March Science Prize. There are already two Nobel Prize winners working for him.In order to make these two bigwigs feel valued, two Nobel Prize lounges were specially prepared in the scientific research building where the Fundamental Physics Laboratory is located.

Originally, it was planned to develop special parking spaces, but there were too many parking spaces in the plan.Moreover, the inner residential area is actually not far to walk to the scientific research building for daily work, and most of them are just walking, so it seems a bit hypocritical to have a dedicated parking space.

If he wins another Nobel Prize, won't the lab have another dedicated lounge in the future?some wasted...

So Tian Yanzhen was very interested in it.

From time to time, I will talk about this topic with Ning Wei, probably because I hope to get inner satisfaction as a mentor.

For example: "Did you see, Xiao Ning, your voice for the Nobel Prize in Physics this year is very high."

"You may not be able to get it if you have a high voice. Director Tian, ​​I have won a lot of awards and awards over the years. Medals and trophies have been ruined by Ning Ke. There is nothing to look forward to!"

"Can that be the same? Get another Nobel Prize to cheer you up! You don't care about yourself, but you should think more about the children of our Yanbei University. Next time you are debating with the opposite school, say Yanbei University Self-cultivated the No.1 Huaxia Physics Nobel Prize, what a boost! Hehe, let the other side be indisputable!"

how to say……

This sentence is indeed very uplifting.

Of course, changing the name of Yanbei University to Tian Yanzhen is not against the law.

After all, he was Ning Wei's great mentor when he was studying Zhibo.

No matter what others think behind their backs, but they have to obey in face, know how to cultivate...

"Hey, let's not place too much hope on Director Tian's matter. What if they don't give it to me..."

"So your attitude should be more positive! Let's repair the relationship and give them a step down. After winning the award, what do you want to do is not up to you?"

"Well... Director Tian, ​​if you want to say that, how about letting March bankrupt the Nobel Foundation? Make this year's Nobel Prize a swan song?"

"Are you serious?"

"You're kidding, Director Tian!"

"roll!"

……

Bankrupting a century-old foundation is a joke indeed.This kind of fund, which has been in operation for hundreds of years, still tends to be stable in investment.There is a high probability that it is impossible to make it bankrupt in the short term, and it is impossible to think about it in March.

However, this conversation probably also showed Ning Wei's attitude towards the Nobel Prize. A Nobel Prize without the support of the Nobel Foundation is a good Nobel Prize!Compared with his own award, the March Science Award is what he looks forward to.Without the obtrusive award of the Nobel Prize, next year Ning Wei can guarantee that the March Science Award will become the most famous comprehensive science award in the world.

This is the luck of life.

Ning Wei believes that Tian Yanzhen and other academic brains of the older generation also think so in private, but these bigwigs are just inconvenient to express this kind of thinking.He is still young, so naturally he has no such worries.

Considering from this direction, in fact, Ning Wei even hopes that the Nobel Prize will do things that come from chaos, such as firmly excluding him from this year's Nobel Prize winners list, and refusing to give any explanation to the outside world...

Of course, he won't say anything more, and he refuses to comment, so that he can make March feel aggrieved to perform on the Internet, make an animation, something that couldn't be simpler, as for everyone's feelings after bringing it in , does not require much consideration.

Anyway, the cornerstone of reputation is to pry a little today and a little tomorrow, and after a few more years, when the Nobel Prize no longer excites countless ordinary people in October every year, he will succeed if he can't even make any waves.

For this reason, Ning Wei even forcibly pressed a phased breakthrough in his own fundamental physics laboratory, the method of controlling the superluminal quantum tunneling effect.In the current laboratory environment, the tunneling effect of ten times the speed of light has been controlled.This also means that scientists have been able to use Ningwei's theory to explain the reasons and principles of this phenomenon in detail.

If you want to use a description that ordinary people can understand, you probably have to use metaphors.

This is like a person playing tennis against a wall. From the perspective of the macroscopic world, when the tennis ball hits the wall, it will inevitably bounce in the opposite direction to the wall. This is beyond doubt.If someone says that the tennis ball may pass through the wall while it is rushing towards the wall, it will definitely be called a fool.

Therefore, if the macrocosm is unified with the microcosm, with the same collision algorithm, it is of course impossible for such a small ball to pass through the wall in the microcosm.But the actual situation is just the opposite, which is the quantum tunneling effect.

In a non-academic language, the position and energy of microscopic particles are uncertain. In the process of quantum energy fluctuations, these tiny particles do not know where to get energy. They can directly pass through the energy barrier and go directly to the wall. the other side of the

This is also the reason why the previous silicon-based chip manufacturing process was difficult to break through.When designing a chip, if the size of the material that blocks electrons is reduced to a certain extent, the electrons will directly penetrate the barrier material inexplicably, and the chip will start to leak electricity.

At this time, a more counter-intuitive problem arises. According to the principle of energy and time uncertainty in quantum theory, the time for a quantum to cross a barrier is inversely proportional to the height of the energy barrier of the barrier.That is to say, the higher the energy of the barrier that isolates the particles, the shorter the time for the particles to pass through. When the energy of the barrier is high enough, superluminal quantum tunneling will occur.

If you apply the example in the macro environment, if there are many people standing in front of a wall practicing tennis, every time they swing, some of them may pass directly through the wall, and if the wall is thicker, These tennis balls pass through the wall and appear on the other side, the faster the time will be,

Before the publication of Ningwei's paper, the explanation of this super-light quantum tunneling made a group of scientists very troubled.Academic papers in this area can be said to be the most brain-burning research in physics.After all, it is necessary to defend the absolute position that the upper limit of the speed of the universe is the speed of light, and to explain this phenomenon of traveling faster than the speed of light, so many assumptions are needed to make this matter reasonable.God knows how many turns it takes...
