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

Because they weren’t needed for everyday research.

Wei Tianliang also took a look at the list.

“Tang Feng, how about this? I’ll contact the Institute of Physics and Chemistry at Huake Academy to see if they have the relevant equipment! If they do, they could lend it to us! This way, we can save a considerable amount of funds,” Wei Tianliang discussed with him.

“That would be best! I only need to use these devices temporarily, and once I’m done, they will certainly be returned in full,” Tang Feng agreed.

“But this lab definitely won’t be able to fit so many devices,” Jiang Guangming said.

“Director Jiang, could we also vacate the adjacent labs? Then connect all these labs together. That should be sufficient,” Wei Tianliang suggested.

“Principal Wei, our department already has a limited number of labs. Vacating so many at once would pose a problem for student experiments,” Jiang Guangming expressed difficulty.

“The students’ experiments can be postponed appropriately. Besides, the experiments that Tang Feng is conducting could also involve the students. Tang Feng, what do you think?” Wei Tianliang asked.

“Yes!” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “After these experiments are completed, we could divide the students into several groups, then have these PhD students lead them to continue in-depth research in related areas.”

“That would be excellent! Tang Feng, if you need any help, just say so!” Jiang Guangming’s mood seemed somewhat excited.

“For now, all I need are these devices. Once everything is ready, then we can start the plan,” Tang Feng said.

“Tang Feng, shouldn’t you give this plan a name?” Wei Tianliang suggested.

“How about the ‘Crushing Plan’? What do you think of this name?” Tang Feng asked.

“Tang Feng, the name you’ve chosen seems to imply a confrontational tone,” Wei Tianliang laughed.

“That’s exactly the effect I want! Currently, all our computer chips are imported from abroad! We must find a way to break through, even crush the competition,” Tang Feng responded lightly.

“Your idea is good! But whether it can be realized still depends on if you can do it,” Wei Tianliang said.

“In no more than three months, I can definitely produce the world’s most advanced computer chips! And achieve 100% domestic production!” Tang Feng appeared very confident.

“Good luck!” Wei Tianliang laughed.

“Tang Feng, we will quickly connect these labs and then complete all the preparatory work,” Jiang Guangming made a solemn promise.

“Thank you! Very much appreciated!” Tang Feng said.

“Tang Feng, what are you saying! We should be thanking you! If you can truly achieve full domestic production of computer chips, then our department’s students will surely benefit immensely! They could become members of the chip industry in the future,” Jiang Guangming said.

“The chip industry indeed has a very promising future! Right now, I’m focusing on computer chips, and next will be mobile phone chips! If we can establish a foothold in the chip industry, we can create a market worth tens of trillions,” Tang Feng said, unable to suppress a laugh.

“Tens of trillions! Tang Feng, to be honest, even in my dreams, I wouldn’t dare to think that way,” Wei Tianliang said.

Tang Feng didn’t speak, just smiled again.

“Tang Feng, if you need any more help, feel free to call me anytime! I will try my best to help coordinate and arrange things,” Wei Tianliang said.

“Okay! I’ll say thank you in advance,” Tang Feng nodded.

“In that case, I’ll take my leave first! I’ll go back and arrange things properly!” Wei Tianliang said as he left.

Tang Feng also said goodbye to Jiang Guangming and Fang Qiang.

“Dean Jiang! What’s going on here? Isn’t Tang Feng a genius from the Mathematics Department? How come he suddenly wants to make a big move in the chip field!” Fang Qiang was very puzzled.

“I’m not clear on that either. Perhaps this is what a once-in-a-generation genius looks like! Not only has he achieved in the field of mathematics, but he will also achieve significant results in physics and chemistry,” Jiang Guangming replied.

“Such a genius is indeed very rare! If he really can do it, I think he could be nominated as an academician,” Fang Qiang said.

“Becoming an academician requires more than this. The achievements he has made in the field of mathematics alone are enough to nominate him for academician! As long as academicians Qiu and Gao recommend him together, Tang Feng becoming an academician is almost a certainty. However, it seems he is not very interested in this,” Jiang Guangming said.

“He’s not like most young people! Many young people, if they had achievements like his, would have long forgotten who they are. It’s very likely they would do many outrageous things,” Fang Qiang said.

“If he were such a young person, then he wouldn’t be so highly regarded by Academician Gao and others. I’m really optimistic about his future! He’s truly a national treasure,” Jiang Guangming’s eyes filled with hopeful light.

“Let’s hurry and do as he said! If we can truly achieve full domestic production of computer chips, then our departments’ students will definitely benefit greatly! Moreover, in the coming years, we could publish many related papers. This would be greatly beneficial in raising our departments’ international status,” Fang Qiang said.

Jiang Guangming nodded, telling the twenty selected PhD students, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you! As Tang Feng said, you could become experts in certain areas! In the future, you might even become academicians! I hope you cherish this opportunity.”

The PhD students, hearing Jiang Guangming’s words, felt their blood surge.

As PhD students who had been engaged in scientific research for many years, they also wanted to contribute to their fields of study.

Since Tang Feng had given them this opportunity, they naturally would cherish it.

At this time, Tang Feng had already arrived at the entrance of the School of Economics.

The students coming in and out couldn’t help but focus their attention on him.

“Eh? Isn’t that Tang Feng? Who is he waiting for?”

“What else? Definitely waiting for his girlfriend!”

“You mean Su Xiaoli, right? I just saw her go to Professor Li Ping’s office!”

“She’s now Professor Li Ping’s most favored disciple. It’s impressive, really! Professor Li values her so much, not just letting her do research with the PhD students, but also taking her to various activities! One day, she’s bound to become even more prominent than Professor Li.”

“The two of them really are soaring together! When can we find a boyfriend like Tang Feng?”

“What are you thinking! A man like him is one in a million! There definitely won’t be a second one!”

“That’s true! By the way, have you all bought his new album?”

“Of course! I bought ten copies! His six songs, each one is so good! I kept one for myself and mailed the rest to relatives and friends back home! Let them also appreciate what real good music is!”

While everyone was talking, Su Xiaoli came out of the teaching building.

Seeing Tang Feng already waiting at the entrance, she hurriedly walked faster and linked arms with him.

“When did you get here?” Su Xiaoli asked with a smile.

“Just arrived a little while ago,” Tang Feng replied.

“Is everything taken care of?” Su Xiaoli followed up.

“I met with Principal Wei and asked him to coordinate with the Physics and Chemistry Departments. The lab is starting to be vacated, and the equipment is being coordinated. If all goes well, we can start research within three days,” Tang Feng replied.

“That’s incredibly fast! So, does that mean you’ll be spending every day in the lab for a while?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Pretty much. But I’m mainly doing verification work, and with so many people helping, progress should be quick. I think, with some luck, we could produce domestic computer chips within a month,” Tang Feng said casually.

“I can’t be of much help anyway. No matter what, you must take care of yourself. I can bring you meals,” Su Xiaoli offered.

“No need to trouble yourself! We can just eat something in the cafeteria! Or I can call Luo Jie to have him deliver meals to Li Feng Network and bring some for us as well,” Tang Feng directly declined.

Preparing meals for over twenty people would indeed be a bit too much for Su Xiaoli.

“Delivery meals aren’t as good as what I make. Besides, I can ask Ning Xiao and the others for help. They also want to learn cooking from me, so this is a great opportunity. Regardless, while you’re busy in the lab, I want to help share the burden,” Su Xiaoli’s face was filled with sincerity.

Tang Feng knew she was speaking from the heart.

“Alright,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “Thank you.”

“It’s no trouble at all!” Su Xiaoli quickly waved her hand.

Then, the two of them left, chatting and laughing.

The female students of the School of Economics watched them leave, full of envy.
