Hua Academy of Sciences Semiconductor Research Institute.
The laboratory was as busy as ever.
As a comprehensive semiconductor science research institute integrating semiconductor physics, materials, devices, and their applications, it was not only one of the country's top semiconductor research institutions, but also one of the participants in the Longteng Series Chips project.
The Dragon Soar Chip had recently brought this research institution, which had joined the R&D center as a partner, into the global spotlight.
Yet it was precisely because of this weighty honor that everyone here felt the pressure on their shoulders.
No one dared let their guard down.
The shift from pursuer to pursued had changed not only their position within the industry, but also their responsibility toward the industry itself. And if they could not maintain their advantage, all their previous efforts would be meaningless...
The institute's most important task now was to do everything possible to increase the density of Carbon-Based Transistors per unit area on Carbon-Based Chips, allowing their efficiency to be further unleashed. They had to deny their competitors even the slightest chance to catch their breath and push Silicon-Based Chips out of the market as quickly as possible...
At that moment.
Inside an office at the integrated circuit design center.
Director Li wore a professional virtual reality headset. Like Academician Liu Changqing seated across from him, he leaned motionlessly against the sofa as he followed the academician on a tour of the Hua Academy of Sciences Semiconductor Research Institute's new department—
"This is our new laboratory. Starry Sky Technology specially customized these development tools for us, and we're currently helping them test the software—oh, right, I nearly forgot the most important part. This thing is called the Virtual IC Workshop. We usually just call it the IC Workshop."
