274: Chapter 273 Personally bringing it to life

Wang Shuo had heard "I've heard so much about you" many times recently, but when this man in front of him said it, it felt different; for the first time, he heard genuine sincerity.

It was as if this man really had admired him from afar for a long time.

He Chenguang quietly watched the young man in front of him, who was even younger than himself.

Ever since Wang Shuo walked through the door, he had been observing him.

To be honest, his first impression wasn't stunning; this was just an ordinary college student, with an ordinary appearance and ordinary manners. If one really had to find something different about Wang Shuo, it was probably those clear, bright eyes.

He, too, once had eyes like those.

Being stared at by a reasonably handsome man with a gaze full of deep affection—this scene was just weird no matter how you looked at it.

Coughing once to forcefully suppress the slight discomfort in his heart, Wang Shuo said: "I heard you wanted to see me?"

He Chenguang nodded gently.

"Now that you've seen me, you can say what you have to say."

He Chenguang raised his head slightly.

"Can I take a look at the source code for zero egg?"

"Pfft."

Wang Shuo, who had just taken a sip of water, almost spat it out.

He gave He Chenguang, sitting opposite him, a strange look. Seeing his calm expression, as if he felt nothing, Wang Shuo was momentarily speechless.

Did this guy really not know, or was he pretending not to know?

He had barged into Donghai City, insisting on seeing the production line for zero egg, and he had agreed.

He hadn't expected him to come directly to him now and demand to see the source code for zero egg?

If this were anyone else, they might have already been beaten out with sticks.

"Reason."

Wang Shuo said.

If it were the initial source code, giving it to him wouldn't be impossible, because in Humanoid Race society, this thing was equivalent to a public mold that anyone could use.

But the current zero egg was a semi-finished product that Wang Shuo had continuously added to and refined based on the initial version. Even by Humanoid Race standards, it was only a slight improvement over the initial core, but for modern society, it was a huge leap.

The current core source code for zero egg was no longer something that could be casually distributed.

"I'm very curious about its implementation principles."

He Chenguang pointed to the zero egg in his arms.

Wang Shuo raised an eyebrow: "Just curious?"

He Chenguang was silent for a moment, then said: "I want to try and see if I can draw inspiration from it to improve the design of the next generation of Chip."

"Chip design?"

Wang Shuo looked at He Chenguang in surprise: "You know this too?"

He Chenguang was slightly speechless.

Ever since he was young, he had always been the "other people's child" in the mouths of other parents; this was the first time he had been looked down upon.

"President Wang, I forgot to introduce myself."

He Chenguang placed the zero egg on the table to the side and said with a serious expression: "My name is He Chenguang, a 2012 graduate of HUST, specializing in Chip design and integrated system architecture, currently employed at the Huaneng Group Chip R&D Department."

Wang Shuo was a bit surprised; this person in front of him was actually a senior?

But this senior's hobbies were a bit strange; he would run into other people's companies at the drop of a hat and demand to see the company's top secrets. If he kept this up, he would be beaten to death sooner or later.

He would have to ask the Tyrannosaurus Rex about this senior another day to see if he had always been this intense.

"Huaneng Group Chip R&D Department."

The name sounded quite grand. Wang Shuo asked: "Then, Senior, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-eight."

He Chenguang rarely felt the urge to compare, and said: "After graduation, I spent two years finishing my Master's and Doctorate, and received an admission letter from Stanford University."

Wang Shuo opened his mouth slightly.

He was truly shocked.

Finishing a Master's and Doctorate in two years—what kind of concept was that?

For an ordinary person, the time limit to finish a Doctorate and get the graduation certificate was six years, but this person in front of him had only used two!

This wasn't just a matter of time; it meant that this person's ability had already been recognized by his advisors and even the majority of practitioners in the entire industry.

Otherwise, even if you wanted to skip grades, whether the school would allow it was another question.

Take Wang Shuo himself, for example; he could even stop attending classes now and still get his graduation certificate. If he wanted to stay at the school, Principal Ding would be grinning from ear to ear.

But if it were Zheng Jun, just try it?

Wang Shuo became a bit serious; he suddenly had some thoughts.

"Senior, I can't show you the source code for zero egg, but I do have some other things here that I can show you. However, after you finish looking, you need to answer some questions for me."

He Chenguang looked puzzled, but still asked: "I wonder what it is?"

Wang Shuo picked up the tablet on the desk, swiped a few times, and handed it to He Chenguang.

He Chenguang took it, glanced at it, and immediately looked up: "President Wang, Chip manufacturing is not my field; I only handle Chip design."

"I know, Senior." Wang Shuo nodded. "I want you to look at the content further on; you don't have to look at the Chip manufacturing principles part."

He Chenguang lowered his head again and looked at the content seriously. The more he read, the more surprised he became, and the more serious his expression grew.

Finally, after ten minutes or so, He Chenguang looked up at Wang Shuo: "President Wang, what is this?"

Wang Shuo didn't answer, but smiled and said: "How is it, Senior? What do you think?"

"This..."

He Chenguang stared intently at the content on the tablet, muttering excitedly: "It's feasible. Theoretically, it's completely feasible."

"If this structure can be realized, then the lowest level of the Chip will no longer be simple on and off. The Chip design language won't have to simply follow the expression of 0 and 1; we could completely allow it to become ternary, quaternary, or even go directly to quinary."

He Chenguang suddenly looked up at Wang Shuo: "This is a genius concept! This is an epoch-making design! President Wang, if this thing can be built, the performance of the Chip will increase exponentially!"

"That is certain." Wang Shuo nodded with a smile and said: "If I were to let you, Senior, design the circuit according to the implementation principles of this Chip, could you design it?"

"Absolutely, absolutely."

He Chenguang closed his eyes, as if sketching out those circuits. In an instant, a whole new set of circuit diagrams emerged in his mind.

"If I were to design it, I can guarantee that the performance of this Chip will reach at least ten times that of existing Chips!"

Ten times? Although it was still a bit low, it was already stunning enough.

Wang Shuo sighed with emotion.

If this senior in front of him had been around before he obtained the core, he wouldn't have been able to catch up even if he rode a horse.

What is a genius? This is a genius.

Every industry has geniuses, and this He Chenguang in front of him was undoubtedly an absolute genius in scientific research.

His learning ability and efficiency were several times that of others.

His degree of cognitive leaps was even more beyond what others could imagine.

He had only shown him some basic ideas for improving the underlying Chip architecture, and he had immediately sparked inspiration.

It just so happened that he was passionate about Chips right now; Wang Shuo believed that if necessary, someone like He Chenguang could completely master a completely unfamiliar discipline in an extremely short time.

This was not without precedent; the famous meritorious figure of the "Two Bombs, One Satellite," Elder Yu, had forged a brand new path in a completely unfamiliar field after abandoning his original major.

There were still many such people in China.

Wang Shuo looked at He Chenguang, who was overcome with excitement, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Why not find a way to pick people like He Chenguang out from the crowd?

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

But now was not the time to think about this. Wang Shuo suppressed the thoughts in his heart, looked up at He Chenguang, and smiled faintly:

"Senior, if I said I had an even better plan, enough to increase the performance of the Chip by hundreds of times, would you believe me?"

He Chenguang was stunned.

Hundreds of times?

If it were before, he certainly wouldn't believe it. Even though Wang Shuo had designed zero egg, that only proved Wang Shuo was a programming genius; Chip design and manufacturing were another track completely unrelated to programming.

But now, he wasn't so sure.

The young CEO in front of him had just shown him another possibility for the Chip.

The design he had always pursued was nothing in the face of this kind of crude underlying upgrade.

If this thing were really produced, it would be a huge blow to the current global Chip industry; no manufacturer or individual in the world using, producing, or manufacturing Chips could remain unaffected.

Under such circumstances, to say that he didn't understand Chip manufacturing and design?

He Chenguang felt he couldn't say it.

If he was a genius, then what was this young CEO who was ten years younger than him?

Stunned for a long while, He Chenguang stammered: "President Wang, I wonder if I could..."

Wang Shuo shook his head slightly.

He Chenguang lowered his head in disappointment: "It was my presumption."

Thinking about it, it made sense; it was already giving him a lot of face to let him see basic information, so how could he let him see the real core secrets.

Watching He Chenguang lower his head, Wang Shuo said: "Senior, don't overthink it. It's just that I only have a rough idea for this technology, and it hasn't been implemented yet, so there are no materials I can show you."

Is that so?

Looking at Wang Shuo's sincere expression, He Chenguang chose to believe him, and he revealed a look of seriousness.

"Then... President Wang, I hope you can realize this technology soon. I really want to see what that kind of Chip looks like."

"Senior..."

Wang Shuo smiled, very sincerely.

"Why don't you personally bring it into existence?"
