Professor Chen was stunned for a moment by Ye Ming's question.
Because...this question is very poor and even a bit civilized.
As we all know, there are several "gangsters" in the field of computer science.
For example, talking about design without the need, talking about technology without the scenario, talking about the architecture without the ecology... these are all hooligans.
Ye Ming's question is a bit like talking about architecture without ecology.
But Professor Chen was just stunned for a moment.
After all, he knew that Ye Ming's accounting knowledge was very solid.
After pondering for a moment, Professor Chen smiled slightly: "If you magnify your question to the entire electronic circuit, rather than simply referring to our personal computer system, then the answer is an obvious yes, because assembly language is not needed for embedded development."
"This involves the definition of assembly language - it started as an upgrade of the ancient computer machine language, and then became a symbolic description of processor instructions."
As he spoke, Professor Chen picked up the chalk and began to draw a simple PC architecture on the blackboard.
"When we started learning assembly, we talked about computer systems, from machine language to assembly language to high-level languages..."
Professor Chen didn't mind the trouble and gave a quick lecture on the basics of computer architecture.
"...Here, at the system level, a new player has appeared - Android. Because Android is a framework built by JAVA, so if you want to develop Android in the future, you do not need to master the 8086 assembly instructions and codes in the book.
——But Android also has ARM-based assembly instructions..."
As the blackboard was filled with writings, Professor Chen put down the chalk, picked up a towel and wiped his hands, and finally looked at Ye Ming.
"...So, let's get back to your question."
"For ordinary developers, if a system's development framework can be perfected, then machine-oriented low-level languages are not necessary, such as Android development."
"But for systems and hardware, assembly language will not disappear, it will only exist in another form - because its essence is the bridge between data and processor communication."
"Of course, if you can develop a new processor architecture and match it with a new system, I think everything is possible."
Professor Chen was silent for a moment and then looked at Ye Ming.
"Have you made it clear?"
"Thank you, Teacher Chen."
…
After sitting down under Shen Ruhai's surprised eyes, Ye Ming asked Professor Chen the same question in his mind.
"Have you made it clear?"
"Make it clear."
"Then do you still want to design a system?" Ye Ming said expressionlessly.
"I also want to design a processor."
"true or false?"
"real."
Ye Ming: "...What about the application scenarios? What about the software environment?"
Yin Ta calmly replied: "Brain machine."
Ye Ming's eyes suddenly shrank!
"Wait a minute, we have discussed before that the most critical difficulty in brain computers is data transmission..."
"There will be a solution."
Ye Ming: "...You can't always have your own whims."
"If the biological knowledge you imparted to me is correct and accurate, then I can understand that the biggest deception suffered by the biological brain is visual deception."
"Although I don't have an intuitive understanding of how you 'see' the world you are in, from your description, I can probably estimate the relevant scene."
Along with Yin Ta's voice, a little stick figure appeared in Ye Ming's mind - this was "randomly generated" when he painted Yin Ta's human image.
Judging from the appearance, Yin Ta probably thinks this is his image...
Immediately afterwards, all kinds of strange things began to appear around the stick figure, including but not limited to water cups, chairs, tables, mountains, trees, and other people...
"These things exist in your space. You perceive them through the organ of your eyes, then convert them into nerve signals, and finally process them through the brain to generate pictures."
Looking at the abstract line drawings in his mind, Ye Ming was sweating: "...Yes, and let me make it clear that the real world is not like this. I want to be much more handsome!"
"That's not important. What's important is that vision is signal deception. If your world can produce tens of billions of transistors and circuits in a space of one square centimeter, then it should be possible to produce chips and circuits that connect the visual nervous system.
"
Ye Ming: "It's impossible under the current conditions..."
Yin Ta's voice came calmly: "You have forgotten the system."
Ye Ming was suddenly startled, and he immediately thought of those material analysis and technological breakthroughs.
Is it really possible to create a biochip?
And if there really is a biochip, then...
What else do you want X86! ARM!

Tang Zhigao Laboratory.
Yang Chaoxiong, as the number one person in charge of Professor Tang's new project, naturally also took on the responsibility of leader of the project preparatory meeting.
As a result, Ye Ming's experimental design draft fell into his hands, and he discussed it with his junior brothers and sisters.
"Brother, let me start by saying that I am an outsider in brain computers, but Ye Ming's report looks feasible." Guan Hai, who is about to graduate for his third year, skillfully turned his pen with his right hand and stared at the notebook: "We have done this in the past half month.
There are many related papers, and if you look at his design, the reference electrode used when collecting EEG signals is not grounded, but used to draw electricity from the earlobe to form a differential circuit."
"This kind of solution is also the current mainstream solution, but we can't get other people's denoising algorithms."
Yang Chaoxiong nodded expressionlessly: "As for algorithms, Ye Ming is very sharp. We have all seen it."
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed at the same time.
Senior Brother Yang Chaoxiong was a doctoral student, but Ye Ming, an undergraduate, pretended to be a B, and made him very depressed...
Fortunately, Ye Ming was modest and did not make major changes to Yang Chaoxiong's code. He just made algorithm iterations - the capable ones prevailed, and everyone had to accept it.
Therefore, everyone did not have any special opinions about this junior fellow student whom the teacher valued very much.
At this moment, the door was pushed open and Professor Tang Zhigao walked in.
"How was the discussion?" Professor Tang asked, pulling up a chair and sitting next to Yang Chaoxiong.
"On the whole, there is no problem." Yang Chaoxiong thought for a while and nodded: "After all, I admit that Ye Ming is still very rigorous in his work. It's just that he didn't write down the equipment procurement and other detailed plans."
"Well, after all, people's energy is limited." Professor Tang looked at everyone with a smile: "Does that mean you can let him do it?"
"Teacher, there is no problem in trying it. The equipment is really expensive..." Yang Chaoxiong looked back at the instructor: "Let's not talk about anything else. A GAMMABOX signal meter from g.tec costs hundreds of thousands... We can't even find a place to borrow it.
Easy to find.”
Professor Tang frowned slightly.
Everyone fell silent.
Buying equipment before funding is applied for means that the laboratory pays for it out of its own pocket...
But everyone also knows that there is a reason why Professor Tang wants to develop brain-computer + AI + wheelchair.
