Chapter 158 The corner of the wall came up to him before the hoe was even lifted!

Northwestern Polytechnical University, a teachers’ dormitory building!

Wu Kaifeng was sitting leisurely on a recliner in the study, holding a report on the latest semiconductor research and reading it carefully. Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table vibrated, pulling his thoughts back from the report.

He took a casual glance and realized that it was his personal cell phone ringing. He quickly put down the report in his hand and took the phone.

Wu Kaifeng has two mobile phones. One is for his daily work and is also used by colleagues and family. As for his private phone, it was issued to him because he is involved in some national research and it is confidential.

Most people don't know his phone number.

When he saw the unfamiliar incoming call on the screen in his hand, he hesitated for a moment and then answered the call.

"Hello, I'm Wu Kaifeng!"

"Hello, Professor Wu. I'm Su Chen, and I'm from the Imperial Capital. I think someone should have informed you before I came."

Wu Kaifeng was stunned when he heard this. A few days ago, the relevant departments in the capital did call him, but what they said was not very clear. He only knew that a man named Su Chen would come to see him.

As for what exactly happened, he had no idea.

Wu Kaifeng came back to his senses and said quickly: "Someone called me a few days ago. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"I don't know if Professor Wu is available tomorrow. Some things can't be explained in a few words over the phone, but I promise that you won't be disappointed."

Su Chen said this with great confidence, after all, he has the most advanced chip technology in the world.

You should know that the domestic chip industry is in a bleak state right now. Even two well-known Chinese-character chip research institutes are still worried about the 14nm chip research.

Wu Kaifeng was silent for a moment after hearing this. Although he was full of doubts, the relevant departments in the imperial capital were "taking the blame", so he still had some expectations for Su Chen's words.

"Okay, come to school to find me tomorrow!" Wu Kaifeng then told Su Chen where he would be tomorrow.

After agreeing on a time, the two did not continue chatting. After all, they were not familiar with each other and did not know what to talk about. After finishing the business, they hung up the phone.

Wu Kaifeng looked at the phone in his hand and was silent for a long time before muttering to himself: "I hope there will be a surprise tomorrow."

On the other side, Su Chen was also very excited after getting the reply. He took out the handbag he brought from the imperial capital. Inside was the 10nm and 7nm chips as well as the supporting lithography machines, etching machines and other related information. Of course, they were just catalog introductions.

The old man's words were not enough, and Su Chen did not want to hide anything in this regard, so he talked to Wu Kaifeng directly and frankly, believing that this tip of the iceberg would definitely arouse his interest.

After sorting the information out, Su Chen lay down on the bed and tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

The appointment with Professor Wu was at 10:30 in the morning, but when Su Chen and the others arrived at school, it was just past nine o'clock, so they simply wandered around the school.

"College is still the best. Everyone is carefree and looks so energetic." Su Chen looked at the groups of college students around him and expressed his envy.

Su Chen touched his chin and a thought flashed through his mind.

Should I find an opportunity to go to university for further studies and enrich my knowledge? After all, it is a bit embarrassing to tell others that I only have a high school diploma.

What if I become famous in the future and get on some list, and I introduce Su Chen's high school diploma as the only thing he has is a disgrace to the whole world?

The idea of ​​further study spread wildly in Su Chen's mind, and he soon made a decision. After finishing these things, he would return to the imperial capital and ask Xiao Chen to arrange for him to find a top university for further study.

After strolling around for nearly half an hour and appreciating the scenery of the Northwestern Polytechnical University campus, Su Chen saw that the time was almost up, so he took Chen Fei to the agreed place.

The meeting place was not in any college office or laboratory, but at Professor Wu's home.

"Sir, the Professor Wu we are looking for lives in a place like this?" Chen Fei muttered in disbelief as he looked at the five-story building in front of him.

Along the way, Su Chen and his friends asked many people before they found where Professor Wu lived, but it was not the same as they imagined.

The exterior of the five-story building is covered with small white tiles, and the style is at least ten years old.

However, the garden courtyard in front of the building is well decorated, adding a bit of quietness to the building.

Professor Wu lived on the west side of the third floor. When he came up, he saw that the door was wide open and he could faintly hear conversation in the room.

"Old Wu, what's going on? Why did you take out all your treasured Jin Jun Mei? It's usually very difficult for me to have a drink. Why are you so generous today?" A deep and powerful voice came from the house.

"Old man Chen, my guests will be arriving soon. Please go back first and I will come to you later!" Professor Wu said helplessly.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Old Man Chen today. He came to his place early in the morning to eat and drink, and he refused to leave.

"Hehe~ I just want to see what kind of guests make you make such a fuss. I'll leave when they come."

Now that things have come to this, Professor Wu is too embarrassed to ask anyone to leave.

Seeing this, Su Chen nodded towards Chen Fei and walked towards the room where Professor Wu was.

"Boom boom boom!"

After knocking on the door three times, he leaned his head into the room and called out, "Professor Wu~"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two old men walking out of the house. Their hair was a little gray, but their spirits were almost catching up with those of young people.

When Professor Wu, who was walking in front, saw Su Chen's young face, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that the person who came to see him from the imperial capital would be a young man.

Professor Wu asked tentatively: "Are you Su Chen?"

"Hello, Professor Wu!" Su Chen walked forward, stretched out his hands and shook Professor Wu's hands.

Su Chen still has great respect for these predecessors who have dedicated their entire lives to scientific research.

After letting go of his hand, he gestured to Chen Fei behind him, and then saw Chen Fei walked in carrying several things.

"Professor Wu, I came here in a hurry so I bought some fruits near the school. I hope you don't mind." Then he asked Chen Fei to put these things on the coffee table.

Su Chen had his own considerations for buying these things. If he gave expensive gifts, it would inevitably give people a sense of utilitarianism, and going empty-handed would seem disrespectful, so he simply bought some fruits.

Seeing this, Professor Wu couldn't refuse and could only welcome Su Chen and the others in.

After the two of them sat down, Professor Wu and the old man Chen whispered a few words, and then sent him away after paying three taels of tea. Su Chen also took the opportunity to look inside the house and found that it was still decorated in the same yellow color as before, and even the floor was still terrazzo. It stands to reason that Professor Wu's level could have lived in a villa a long time ago.

I think it’s because of the traditional ideas of the older generation, who focus only on research and don’t care about food, accommodation and transportation.

Professor Wu brewed another pot of tea and poured it for Su Chen and the other man before asking, "What do you want from an old man like me?"

Hearing this, Su Chen's expression became serious and he gave Chen Fei a look.

Chen Fei immediately walked to the door and closed it. He took out a small black box from his pocket and turned it on. Seeing that it was running normally, he nodded to Su Chen.

Professor Wu, who was standing by, was also nervous when he saw this operation. He glanced at the "no signal" displayed in the upper left corner of his mobile phone on the desk and knew that what was about to happen would not be simple.

"I'm sorry, Professor Wu, I made you laugh, but what we are going to talk about next is very confidential. I hope you don't mind."

Professor Wu calmly waved his hand when he heard this. He had seen worse scenes before, so apart from the initial doubts, he was only curious about this one.

What on earth had happened that made this young man travel all the way to Xi'an from his hometown, and be so cautious? For a moment, Professor Wu even hoped that Su Chen would be more efficient.

As if noticing the change in Professor Wu's demeanor, Su Chen smiled and took out a document from his briefcase and said, "I know that Professor Wu is an expert in semiconductors and has led many national projects. I came here this time hoping that Professor Wu could join my team."

When Professor Wu heard that he was going to join Su Chen's team, he was ready to refuse without thinking, but just as the words came to his mouth, he saw the document handed over by Su Chen.
He saw the 10nm chip manufacturing technology clearly written on the first page and took the document with trembling hands.

"Why is there only a table of contents? Where is the main information at the back?" Professor Wu stood up suddenly and asked after reading the document after discovering that the entire document not only contains 10nm chips but also 7nm and lithography machine manufacturing technologies.

The slightly trembling hands also showed how excited Professor Wu was at the moment.

As an expert in this field, how could Professor Wu not tell whether this document was real or fake? He naturally knew what the document in his hand meant.

For a moment, he wanted to call the relevant department and ask Su Chen to hand over the information, but when he thought of the fact that Su Chen was from the imperial capital and the call he had received before, this idea instantly disappeared from his mind.

Professor Wu's mood changes were understandable. Su Chen calmly waved his hand, signaling Professor Wu not to get too excited, and said to himself: "I took an industrial park from above, a full ten square kilometers, and prepared to build the world's most advanced scientific research base.

"I have the complete manufacturing technology of 10nm chips in my hands. With the participation of Professor Wu, I believe that mass production can be achieved within half a year.

"You should know that TSMC, which has the most advanced chip technology in the world, has only achieved mass production of 14nm chips. If we can successfully research 10nm chips, it will be a good opportunity for our domestic electronic technology to overtake others."

Su Chen's words were like bombshells, and Professor Wu didn't know what to do for a moment.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't tempted, but I didn't want to resign and leave him like that. After all, I have worked in Northwestern Polytechnical University all my life and it is like my home.

How could he let it go so easily? What's more, he still had a lot of projects to complete.

The room fell into silence for a while, and Professor Wu drank cup after cup of tea.

After drinking four cups, Professor Wu finally put down the cup in his hand, and his frown relaxed.

"Friend Su, I would like to ask you where this industrial research base is located and whether we can start the corresponding research right away."

Hearing this affectionate address, Su Chen's heart was relieved a little, but the following question made Su Chen not know how to answer for a while.

Could it be that it simply means that the research institute has not started construction yet?
If I say this, the trust that has just been established will instantly drop to the lowest point.

After pondering for a moment, Su Chen decided to tell the truth, but he couldn't say it too bluntly.

"I have just taken over the park, but a professional construction team has been arranged to come in, and the institute will be completed in a month at most."

Su Chen was not talking nonsense. The professional construction team did move into the park after the Lantern Festival, but they are currently surveying and planning the relevant drawings.

But Professor Wu heard this differently. Above? Where else could it be? It must be in the capital.

Since it was a decision made by the top management, with the help of a professional infrastructure team, it would be more than enough to build the research institute in one month.

It just so happens that within this month, Professor Wu can handle some school affairs without wasting much time.

After thinking for a while, Professor Wu finally made a decision, "Okay~ But I have to wait until I finish dealing with all the school-related matters. Besides, going to your institute requires some procedures."

Su Chen also understood and nodded in agreement without thinking.

After talking about the matter, Professor Wu handed the document back to Su Chen with some reluctance. He also knew the importance of this document. If there was any omission in his hands, it would be a big mistake.

After putting the documents away, Su Chen asked curiously, "Professor Wu, who was that old man just now? I think your relationship is quite unusual."

It seemed that because of the previous incident, there was no unfamiliarity between the two. Professor Wu did not hide anything and said, "You said that Old Man Wu, the top expert in nuclear engineering, is only a little bit inferior to me."

Looking at the distance indicated by Professor Wu, Su Chen also laughed. He did not expect that the seemingly rigorous Professor Wu also had a humorous side. However, his words did remind Su Chen.

"Nuclear engineering~It seems that the first item of civilian technology is related to this." Su Chen immediately thought of poaching people, but of course he couldn't do it so directly, he had to think about it carefully.

Su Chen saw the watch on his hand from the corner of his eyes. It was almost twelve o'clock. Then he smiled and said, "Professor Wu, it's getting late. Why don't we go have a meal together?"

Professor Wu did not refuse and accepted it very calmly.

As soon as the three of them walked out the door and went down two steps of stairs, they ran into Old Man Chen whom they had met before. It seemed like a coincidence.

"Old Man Wu, where are you going?" While Old Man Chen was speaking, his eyes were also looking at Su Chen and the other person.

As friends for many years, Professor Wu and he know each other inside out. They both know what smell the fart will emit when someone lifts his butt up.

"We are going to have dinner, do you want to come with us?" This time, not only did Old Man Chen laugh happily, but Su Chen also laughed in his heart.

I was originally thinking about how to poach people, but in the end, they just came to my door. How could I miss such an opportunity?

Then he smiled and said, "Since you are Professor Wu's friend, let's go together. It will be more lively with more people."

A group of four people came out of the building talking and laughing. Professor Wu and Old Man Chen walked in front and whispered, but their voices were a little loud and Su Chen could hear most of what they said.

Old man Chen was curious about the origins of Su Chen and the other two, but he couldn't get any answer from Professor Wu after asking them indirectly. This made him feel very uncomfortable, as if he was scratched by a cat.

Su Chen was not very familiar with the area near the school and didn't know where to find good food, so he simply let Professor Wu and the others make the choice.

Finally, after some discussion, everyone chose a Shaanxi restaurant not far from the school at the strong request of Old Man Chen.
