Chapter 23: A Social Beating? A backhand blow!
When Luo Yao went to the library, he stopped by a digital store in the university town to buy a hard drive. As soon as he entered the library, he went straight to his destination, the computer room on the second floor.
It was lunchtime now, and everyone was compromising with their high blood sugar levels, sitting in their dormitories playing games or lying down to play Zhou Gong's Dream. There were far fewer people in the library than the last time Luo Yao came.
In the computer room on the second floor, Luo Yao even reserved the entire place by himself.
After Luo Yao sat down, he started what he was going to do without caring whether Wu Tianming and Wang Ye had entered the computer room or not.
The system gave him EDA technology, and he now needs to sort out his ideas about the entire EDAAA.
Although EDA software is called software, its essence is very different from the Adobe and Microsoft series software we usually use.
A more accurate description of EDA is actually an industrial product disguised as software.
In addition to feedback from downstream manufacturers, they also need to continuously iterate based on the data accumulated from users before people are willing to use them.
If you cannot update and iterate at any time, then your fate will be the same as the Nokia phone in Luo Yao's hand, abandoned by the times and relegated to the low-end market.
China does not have a complete chip industry chain to support it, which is the main reason why domestic EDA is such a mess.
A very special thing about EDA is that it is located at the upstream of the chip industry chain.
EDA is required to participate in all aspects of the process, from chip design, silicon wafer foundry, packaging and testing, which is why many EDA manufacturers will directly cooperate with downstream companies.
What they want is the manufacturing data and user feedback data from downstream companies, and then they analyze this data and optimize the results to their own software.
Over time, this industrial chain has become increasingly complete.
If others want to surpass us, the cost and technical barriers are there. Who would dare to try without confidence?
Luo Yao knew that this kind of industrial chain was difficult to establish. Even if the downstream was established, it would not work if the upstream was not strong.
He checked the current situation of China's chip industry through the computer. There are some scattered downstream chip manufacturers. If he can come up with a mature EDA software, maybe he can reversely push the downstream market and open up a path for the chip industry.
Luo Yao has now mastered the basic knowledge. The technology provided by the system appears in his mind very clearly. Luo Yao begins to design circuits and program the editing module.
While he was programming, Wu Tianming and Wang Ye were reading outside.
"Tianming, why did you follow me to the library?" Wang Ye was upset. It would be fine if one person was abnormal, but why were both of them abnormal?
"Do you feel that under Santu's leadership, we have become a little more self-disciplined?"
"No." Wang Ye answered very straightforwardly.
Wu Tianming: ...
Wang Ye had just finished his meal, so he had no mood to read.
He had just put the book on the table and started to daydream, and now he took out his cell phone.
"Hey, why is the group so lively?" Wang Ye thought that maybe Luo Yao's email to "Semiconductor" had been discovered, so he quickly clicked on it.
Soon, his expression changed.
"Tianming, look." Wang Ye anxiously handed the phone to Wu Tianming who was sitting opposite him.
After taking it, Wu Tianming looked at the phone screen curiously and soon understood why Wang Ye was so excited.
"Master Bai Wu of the Proud Laughing Jianghu: Big news has broken out at school. Physics teacher Ke Zhan is selling papers and is rumored to be getting fired."
"Walking glutton: What the hell! Zundu fake du?!"
"Master Bai Wu, the proud and arrogant Jianghu master: I heard that there were problems with Ke Zhan's latest paper, and Semiconductors flagged his previous papers. The school had the academic committee review his papers from the past year, and they found quite a few problems."
"Master Bai Wu of the Proud Laughing Jianghu: I heard that Director Xia personally brought people from the academic committee to question Ke Zhan, and Ke Zhan exposed his true colors. In a panic, he revealed his thesis-buying scheme!"
"Yutianyun: Is this so disgusting! He was just sharing his paper writing process with us, but it turns out he was lying to us!"
"Gaskett: I support the school's dismissal! What kind of teacher is he if he buys and sells papers?"
"Yingji Shasha: Unworthy of the position! Support the expulsion!"
"Langaligelang: As a teacher, he actually deceived us! I hope the school will deal with him as soon as possible!"
"Sasuke's bow: I have to thank the guy who wrote the email to the editor. If it weren't for him, the school would definitely not have noticed this!"
"Xiao Ai: If we leave people like Ke Zhan alone, it's probably not just a matter of buying and selling papers anymore. He'll probably be interested in our papers!"
A thesis brings together all the knowledge learned during student days. A thesis written all night long is a student's life. When students majoring in microelectronics thought that thieves might be eyeing their lives, they became excited in the group, and almost everyone demanded that Ke Zhan be dismissed.
At this moment, Wu Tianming shifted his gaze from his phone and looked up at Wang Ye. He took a long time to organize his words before saying, "I said before that Luo Yao hadn't experienced the harshness of society. Now look, he dealt a heavy blow and wiped out Ke Zhan!"
"Is Ke Zhan really going to be fired?" Wang Ye looked at Wu Tianming in disbelief.
" Buying and selling papers is no small offense. Our school has always valued academic research. Now that such a scandal has occurred, do you think it won't be dealt with strictly?"
"So now we don't have to worry about anyone targeting us?" Wang Ye's face trembled slightly when he was excited.
"Ke Zhan is leaving, who will target us?"
Wu Tianming leaned closer to Wang Ye and whispered, "I can only say that Santu's move was truly beautiful!"
"But this time it was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse. Ke Zhanyou happened to have a problem. We should let Santu be more careful in the future."
"The premise is that he is willing to listen to us." Wu Tianming said with a wry smile .
Class time was almost up, Luo Yao put the program he had compiled into the hard drive. As soon as he left the computer room, he saw Wu Tianming and Wang Ye chatting about something.
As soon as the two saw him come out, they came over with books.
"Luo Yao, Ke Zhan is going to be fired." Wu Tianming immediately shared the good news with him.
Luo Yao was stunned. Is it so serious?
He was a little confused: "Will I be fired just because there are mistakes in the paper?"
"No, he bought all those papers. He didn't write them himself. The school found out, so they want to fire him."
Luo Yao said "Oh" and lost interest instantly.
He even wants to buy a paper. He seems to be a fool indeed.
"I don't care about stupid people. Is this class taught by Professor Xia Qing?"
Wu Tianming and Wang Ye looked at each other.
No way! Are you not happy to hear that Ke Zhan is in trouble?
Is this still a normal person?!
After Wu Tianming nodded helplessly and answered Luo Yao's question, he saw a smile on Luo Yao's face that he had never seen before.
"I can't wait to meet Professor Xia Qing."
What's going on?
Luo Yao is Professor Xia Qing's fanboy?
