On the 21st, Zhong Xin International sent a large number of trustworthy technical backbones into Xing Hai Technologies' fourth research factory. Using the virtual factory technology, they began to study the improvement of the chip manufacturing process.
A few days later.
They only made a few dozen adjustments to the process.
They had achieved gratifying results. The yield of the 14-nanometer chip in the virtual factory had increased from 95% to 96.1%.
The production efficiency also increased by 1.2%.
This progress was quite amazing. The cost was only a few million dollars of electricity generated during the operation of the supercomputer.
"Continue to optimize and improve. Strive to increase the chip yield to 97% and production efficiency by 5%! Then, make practical adjustments and changes to the production line in reality and turn the virtual factory into a real factory. "
Generally, there would not be much error in the virtual factory when it achieved an improvement of less than 5%. If the improvement exceeded 10%, the error would increase. Therefore, the ideal scientific research process was: The virtual factory would improve a little, make adjustments in reality, and provide real data. Then, the virtual factory would continue to improve, maintaining a rhythm of small steps.
If the supercomputer's computing speed was faster and the simulation was more realistic, research and development in the virtual factory could be done in the virtual factory. From the paper design to the product realization, the entire set of technical data could be produced in the virtual factory.
It could be applied in reality!
The only requirement was that the supercomputer's computing speed must exceed 100 billion times per second!
Currently, the most advanced supercomputer on Earth was Z country's Tianhe-3E. Its computing speed was only 10 billion times per second. It was far from meeting the requirements of "full virtual research and development."
Even so, even with the help of a low-performance supercomputer to assist in research and development, it could still save a huge amount of research and development costs and improve efficiency.
Chen Jin decided that Xing Hai Technologies would buy a few more supercomputers in the future and develop their own supercomputers with higher performance. Then, they would install a large number of "intelligent simulation technologies" and build many "virtual factories" to assist in the design and manufacturing of chips, the research of new materials, and the development of high-end medical equipment. The application field was limitless. The speed from establishing a project to producing results would be extremely shocking.
"This is the bright future! No matter how strong the human brain is, how can it be stronger than a supercomputer with a computing speed of N billion times per second? Ten years of your brainpower is not as good as a virtual factory running for a year. "
"Indeed, we will still need talents in the future, but what we need is not craftsmen, but people with innovative thinking!"
"You don't need to be proficient in every field. You just need to dabble in every field. If there's something you really don't understand, you can ask the Little Star learning machine. For practical operations, use the Virtual Factory … In the end, even a slacker like me would only need to know the principles, and after thousands of trials and errors, find the right path, and tinker with advanced chips."
"It's not a dream for a single person to solve the chip technology!"
"Under such a trend of technological development, persisting in the so-called 'exam-oriented education' is simply a joke. It will not raise any talents who can adapt to the future."
Therefore, this was the reason why Chen Jin was the first to introduce the Little Star learning machine. He was laying out his plans in advance to nurture the talents that he needed the most.
Of course, this process would definitely bring about pain, turmoil, and huge social changes that would affect the fate of countless people. However, compared to the infinitely bright future, this small price would only become a symbol of the times and be gradually forgotten by people.
…
October 1st.
Chen Jin received a message on WeChat.
Su Yun, who usually did not take the initiative to disturb him, sent him a message. "Chen Jin, there's something I need your help with."
"What is it?"
Chen Jin felt a little strange. This was the first time Su Yun had looked for him for something. Usually, other than greeting him, she had never made a request of her own.
"My brother wants to buy a Little Star Second Gen learning machine … Can you help me get one? I can add some money to it."
"Xiao Peng?"
Chen Jin was surprised. "I asked Xiao Peng in the family chat group last time. He's going to take the college entrance examination next year. Should I give him a Little Star? He said no … Why did he change his mind? "
"Actually, Xiao Peng doesn't want to burden us. He also feels that he has the ability to get into the best university. However, a few days ago, in his school's monthly examination, his ranking dropped to the fifth place in his class and the top 30 in his school … He's never had such a bad ranking before."
In the past, Su Zipeng was usually in the top two in his class and the top ten in his school.
"Did Xiao Peng perform poorly?"
"No, he performed normally. He performed exceptionally well in mathematics and got full marks."
"But why did his ranking drop so much? Did someone cheat with the Little Star learning machine? "
"No, his school's invigilators are very strict. It's impossible to cheat with a Little Star learning machine that's as big as an iPad. It's the students who bought the Little Star learning machine that had their scores greatly improved!"
Su Yun explained.
It turned out that after the results of the monthly examination were released, Su Zipeng had sunk into extreme anxiety.
Not wanting to burden his family, he had no choice but to ask his parents to buy a Little Star learning machine.
His previous disdainful attitude had changed.
It's just a learning machine, how good can it be? Don't brag too much.
For students who don't like to study, buying 10 Little Star learning machines would be a waste of effort.
Moreover, under the current education system, a student's grades were mainly dependent on himself.
Little Star's "Knowledge Tree" was very advanced, but the school's textbook knowledge was also learned step by step. Knowledge points could also be mastered.
Little Star's "Answering Assistance" function could solve any question. This was indeed very impressive, but it did not mean that the students had mastered the problem-solving skills. The exam questions still had to be done by themselves.
Su Zipeng had learned about the recently popular "Answering Assistance" function from his classmates. It was interesting, but it was not very helpful for learning.
His conclusion was that this product, which cost more than 8,000 yuan, was just a gimmick.
However, after the monthly examination ended, he no longer thought so. His face was very solemn, and a huge sense of crisis arose in his heart.
He had to let go of his inner contempt and pay great attention to it. Through a detailed investigation of other students, he slowly discovered Little Star's strength.
Little Star's "Knowledge Tree" not only allowed one to better grasp knowledge points, but also allowed one to directly see one's own weaknesses, thereby strengthening and improving.
Little Star's "Answering Assistance" function could easily solve all difficult questions. It was a little like cheating, but one could activate "Challenge Mode" and solve a difficult question according to the step-by-step instructions.
For most of the questions, Little Star did not just provide one way to solve them, but many, dozens of ways! One could find the most suitable and easy-to-understand way to solve the question … It was more comprehensive than what the teacher taught, and the levels were clearer, more thorough, and easier to understand.
Some of the ways to solve the questions were so exquisite that it made people exclaim in admiration.
No matter how good the teacher was, he could not do it to this extent.
Another thing was the efficiency of doing questions. With the help of the Little Star learning machine, others could do ten sets of mathematics papers a day, but he could only do two sets a day at most. Sometimes, he would be stuck at a difficult question for an entire self-study session. Others would follow the ideas provided by Little Star and revolve around the various ways to solve the difficult question to master the best one.
There were two learning modes. One was "find the answer yourself", but it was more memorable; the other was "provide one or more ways to solve the question, and choose the most suitable way" … Which learning mode was better and more efficient, it was highly controversial at first.
Su Zipeng initially thought that "find the answer yourself" was better. No matter how many ideas the learning machine provided, if one did not memorize them deeply, one would still forget them in the future.
However, after the monthly examination results came out.
Three students in the class actually surpassed him.
One of the students, who was originally in the middle of the class and usually scored more than 100 points less than him, rocketed to the second place in the class this time, scoring more than 30 points more than him.
After the obvious improvement in his results, this student often said, "The Little Star learning machine is simply my top student system, it's too awesome!"
Therefore, for those students who were willing to learn, the Little Star learning machine had become a divine tool in their hands, like a tiger that had grown wings.
Therefore, Su Zipeng could not sit still anymore!
"If this goes on, I, who originally had the hope of getting into a famous university, would be lucky to get into a key university. Students with the Little Star learning machine have a huge competitive advantage!
"If I don't buy the Little Star, I will be surpassed by more and more people in the future, and my ranking will get lower and lower. In the end … I might only get into a normal book.
"No, I have to buy it, I must buy it! I will lose if I don't buy it!
