A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face was sitting in a booth by the window, with an open laptop in front of him. His expression was serious, as if he was deep in thought.
The night wind blew from the ajar window, and the middle-aged man raised his head. When he saw the person coming, he closed his notebook and smiled on his face.
"Ye Zi." Then, he looked at Ye Ming slightly surprised: "This is it?"
"The newly released ACM champion team player, a talented boy who has mastered everything in his freshman year." Ye Rudai laughed and let Ye Ming stand behind her: "Ye Ming, this is Dr. Qin Weimin, you call him
Just Uncle Qin will do."
"Hello, Uncle Qin." After Ye Ming called someone, he sat down next to Professor Ye obediently.
"Good guy, so many titles?" Dr. Qin Weimin was a little surprised. He knew that his younger brother and sister would not go too far even if they joked: "Is it from the Department of Electrical Engineering?"
"No, it's provincial - that's not important. What's important is that this young man said that his mentor's company has a big business that requires the cooperation of the wafer factory." Ye Rudai tilted her head and looked at Ye Ming with a smile on her lips: "
So I brought it to you."
"Cooperating with a wafer fab?" Dr. Qin Weimin looked suspicious: "Which chip design company is your mentor from?"
"Well, yes and no." Ye Ming clenched his fists under the table, took two gentle breaths and looked at Qin Weimin: "Uncle Qin, I wonder if you have noticed a recent paper in the field of materials science."
"Materials paper?" Qin Weimin frowned slightly: "We are a wafer factory, and we rarely pay attention to papers in the materials field - just tell us what the content of the paper is."
Ye Ming is so depressed.
"That's it." Ye Ming looked at the computer in front of Qin Weimin, hesitated and said, "Can you use your computer to open arxiv?"
"Can."
Qin Weimin turned on the computer: "Just tell me which article it is."
"It's a paper called "Synthetic Theory and Molecular Movement Conjecture of a New Polymer Compound GTRGD", in Physical Science, Material Classification."
Qin Weimin clicked on it and then took a deep look at Ye Ming.
"Are you a writer and correspondent?"
"Um."
"Awesome!" Qin Weimin gave a thumbs up and quickly read on.
Ye Ming held a drink and looked at Qin Weimin with burning eyes.
There's no way... This kind of opportunity to directly contact the top management of the fab... Frankly speaking, it's better to catch it once and then less.
Now that he caught it, he couldn't let the opportunity slip away easily.
As time passed little by little, Ye Ming saw that Qin Weimin's expression gradually became serious.
In the end, his brows even frowned.
He clicked the mouse repeatedly, as if confirming something.
At the end, Dr. Qin raised his head and looked at Ye Ming with eyes full of disbelief and shock.
"You...is this true?"
"There is no need for me to show you a fake paper of mine in front of Uncle Qin. Moreover, this paper was submitted to Nature and has reached the stage of peer review."
When he heard nature, Ye Rudai's eyes widened instantly.
"Did you post nature?!"
"Well, peer review should be no problem - after all, there are many experiments that have been reproduced, but that's not important." Ye Ming looked at Dr. Qin with bright eyes: "Uncle Qin, the important thing is that this material must be driven by an integrated circuit.
.”
"Wait a minute, please let me slow down...I've been so busy these days." Dr. Qin stretched out his hand to stop Ye Ming, rubbing his temples with his two thumbs.
Ye Ming smiled slightly: "Uncle Qin, this chip will be used in many fields such as general restoration and brain computers in the future. However, because it must invade the body and combine with nerves, it must be highly integrated. But because it interacts with nerves
The connection doesn't require a lot of signal processing, so it doesn't require a high level of manufacturing."
"And we can also provide supporting EDA tools to design this special chip, so...as long as the wafer factory can develop this integrated chip process, we can easily promote it and even popularize it.
"
Ye Rudai on the side listened as if reading from heaven. She opened her mouth slightly and her eyes kept wandering between Ye Ming and Qin Weimin.
Qin Weimin's eyes kept changing. He glanced at the preprinted paper again, but in the end he still looked at Ye Ming.
"You said your paper was peer reviewed...did it pass?"
"I don't know. I checked the status this afternoon and it's submitted for peer review."
As he spoke, Ye Ming took out his cell phone.
The worst he can do is take another look.

NCC, Composites Laboratory.
As a senior researcher, Ezio has been a peer reviewer in the field of nature materials for a long time, and he is famous for his slaps in the face and his harsh comments.
Even himself, in order to ridicule certain phenomena in the field of materials, he once published a paper seriously using bird droppings mixed with materials... When the paper was finally published, he announced it to his peers around the world on arxiv.
, I used bird poop mixed with it.
But...looking at the manuscript sent by his old classmate for peer review, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Since the GTRGD material reappeared, he has not been able to eat well or sleep well these past two days.
As a polymer materials scientist, he can recite mother liquors, materials, and molecular formulas in what ways with his eyes closed.
But the way in which this GTRGD material was created subverted his cognition.
No, it is not just that it subverts the general cognitive and material science systems, but the author gives a hypothesis that is so bold that it is unacceptable in the final analysis.
——This author made up a formula based on his fantastic ideas about general relativity and the standard model of particles. Then he derived several equations from the formula, solved the equations and obtained several sets of data, and obtained new materials based on the data...
And according to logic, the author’s whimsical ideas are also true.
Holding his hair, Ezio looked at the manuscript on his computer that he had read countless times on arxiv.
After thinking for a long time, he wrote a comment.
"As for your paper, although I strongly disapprove of this kind of laboratory report-type paper, groundbreaking discoveries should not be imprisoned by tradition."
"Your discovery is very good, and my laboratory reproduced it perfectly. I hope you can improve your formulas and theories as soon as possible."
"Your Ezio."
Looking at this review, which was the most "pleasant" review he had received in years, Ezio let out a long sigh.
Perhaps as old classmates said, a new era has come.
At the very least, a door was opened by this ordinary undergraduate student from the East.
…
Shanghai, Blues Cafe.
Ye Ming looked at the email he had just received, with a smile on his face, and raised his phone towards Qin Weimin.
