Chapter 168: Preparing to Develop a Fully Domestic Computer Chip (Part 3/4)

“Okay!” Tang Feng agreed very readily.

After the two had breakfast, Tang Feng went straight to the principal’s office.

Wei Tianliang had just arrived at his office, and the door was still open.

Seeing Tang Feng come in, he appeared somewhat surprised.

“Principal Wei!” Tang Feng greeted him proactively.

“Did the sun rise from the west today? You, a busy person, how do you have time to come see me!” Wei Tianliang joked.

“Principal Wei! Look at what you’re saying! I’m here because I need your help,” Tang Feng said.

“Come! Don’t rush! Sit down and talk slowly!” Wei Tianliang invited.

Tang Feng sat down on the sofa.

“Come! Tell me! What kind of help do you need!” Wei Tianliang said with a smile.

“I would like to apply for a laboratory,” Tang Feng stated his purpose.

“I didn’t hear wrong, did I? Aren’t you from the Department of Mathematics? What do you need a laboratory for?” Wei Tianliang was very shocked.

“I want to conduct some experiments,” Tang Feng replied.

“What kind of laboratory do you need? Physical or chemical?” Wei Tianliang asked.

“Either is fine! The experiments I need to conduct involve both physics and chemistry,” Tang Feng replied.

“What materials will this laboratory need?” Wei Tianliang continued to ask.

“We can discuss that later! Some materials, the Physics Department and Chemistry Department definitely have. If not, I can purchase them. You don’t need to worry about this,” Tang Feng answered.

“May I ask, what exactly do you plan to experiment with in this laboratory?” Wei Tianliang asked with interest.

“I plan to research and develop computer chips,” Tang Feng replied.

“What?” Wei Tianliang’s tone rose an octave.

“What? Is there a problem?” Tang Feng saw his reaction and asked with a smile.

“Computer chips are a very complex thing. Although they look small, they require a lot of supporting equipment to complete. Can you really do it with just one laboratory?” Wei Tianliang questioned.

“This is just a small-scale experiment. If we want to mass-produce, we definitely need the cooperation of many enterprises,” Tang Feng answered.

Wei Tianliang didn’t speak.

To be accurate, he didn’t know what to say at the moment.

“Principal Wei, I understand your concern. Anyway, please provide me with a laboratory so I can conduct small-scale experiments. If it turns out to be successful, I believe it will definitely bring great benefits to our school,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

“The laboratory is no problem! I’ll make a call right away, and have the Physics Department vacate their largest laboratory for you to use. The entire school, including teachers and students from the Physics Department, can be at your disposal. Whatever you need, just ask!” Wei Tianliang made a quick decision.

“I indeed need some assistants. But not too many are needed. After all, it’s just a small-scale experiment. If possible, some PhD students from the Physics and Chemistry Departments could come help. I could also train them to become pillars of the chip industry,” Tang Feng said.

Wei Tianliang immediately made phone calls to arrange it.

“Dean Jiang! Please vacate the largest laboratory in the Physics Department. Also, arrange for ten of your department’s best PhD students to participate in the work.”

“Dean Fang, please send over ten of the best PhD students from the Chemistry Department to the Physics Department’s teaching building to stand by!”

After arranging these things, Wei Tianliang decided to accompany Tang Feng to the Physics Department’s teaching building.

“Principal Wei, you have two meetings this morning,” the principal’s assistant reminded him urgently.

“Postpone the meetings! Nothing is more important than Mr. Tang Feng’s matter!” Wei Tianliang instructed.

The principal’s assistant immediately went to handle it!

Soon, they arrived at the Physics Department’s teaching building.

The department dean, Jiang Guangming, was already waiting at the entrance.

“Principal Wei!” Jiang Guangming greeted him upon seeing him.

“Have you taken care of the things I mentioned over the phone?” Wei Tianliang asked.

“Ten PhD students have been selected. The largest laboratory is being cleaned,” Jiang Guangming replied.

“Director Jiang, this is Mr. Tang Feng! I believe you’ve definitely heard his name! From now on, the laboratory and PhD students will be under Mr. Tang’s direction,” Wei Tianliang said.

“Mr. Tang Feng, if I may ask, what are you going to do with the laboratory and these PhD students?” Jiang Guangming looked at him and asked word by word.

“I plan to use them for experiments. Of course, Director Jiang, I will inevitably bother you in the future. I hope for your cooperation,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“No problem! Whatever you need help with, just say it! Within my capabilities, I will definitely provide the greatest support,” Jiang Guangming agreed very readily.

At that moment, Dean Fang Qiang of the Chemistry Department also arrived with the selected ten PhD students.

He was also very surprised to see Tang Feng.

After all, Tang Feng was a genius from the Mathematics Department and, logically, should not be here.

Wei Tianliang repeated what he had said to Jiang Guangming to Fang Qiang.

“Mr. Tang Feng, what experiment are you preparing to do? It seems to involve both physics and chemistry,” Fang Qiang asked with interest.

“Not just physics and chemistry, more talent might be needed. For example, the Computer Science Department, the Art Department, they all need to be involved. But for now, they are not needed yet,” Tang Feng replied.

“Dean Fang, some things are better not asked. If Mr. Tang Feng needs anything, just cooperate as much as possible,” Wei Tianliang said lightly.

Fang Qiang’s figure trembled slightly.

“From today on, you will follow me closely in conducting experiments. I will train you to become experts in certain areas. I hope you cherish this hard-to-come-by opportunity,” Tang Feng told the twenty PhD students in front of him with a serious face.

The PhD students looked at each other.

Although they did not know what work they were about to engage in, Tang Feng’s words were evidently very significant.

Once the laboratory was cleaned, Tang Feng led the twenty PhD students inside.

He carefully checked the existing equipment in the laboratory.

Then he made a list of the equipment that needed to be purchased.

“Dean Jiang! Dean Fang! Please take a look at this list! Do your departments have any of these items? If so, please provide them. If not, I will purchase them myself,” Tang Feng said lightly.

Jiang Guangming and Fang Qiang carefully reviewed the list.

They felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Many of the devices Tang Feng needed were not available in their departments.
