From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 3 press conference, we have mastered the X-ray

The meeting that started with Lin Xiao getting angry is over.

As for what impact it will have on Huaguo's semiconductor industry in the future, it is still unknown, especially since the people present are all in the Huaguo semiconductor field.

Although Lin Xiao's age is very young compared with these people, since he is the chief designer of the just successful X-ray project, and everyone knows how important Lin Xiao is in the entire X-ray project, so in With such a huge reputation, no one directly refuted Lin Xiao, and of course there was no reason to refute.

As a witness, Ma Gaoliang quickly reported this matter to the higher authorities.

And the above reply is: do as Lin Xiao said, and fully support it.

After receiving such a reply from the above, Ma Gaoliang immediately understood.

He understood why the higher-ups would agree.

Because the above is clear, the problem of the domestic scientific research environment is that too few are willing to invest in research and development, either the assembly plant, or close down, and even feel that cooperating with others will lose their soul, and then they can’t develop anything by themselves, so The existence of various phenomena has led to various problems such as low efficiency of scientific research output and low investment.

However, there are too many interests involved, and it is difficult to manage this matter.

This situation can only be alleviated if someone who has sufficient reputation, who will not be in the same boat with such a big environment, and who has the ability to resist this kind of big environment, stands up.

But now that Lin Xiao was able to take the initiative to stand up, it was too late for the higher-ups to be happy, so how could they disagree?

But this also means that Lin Xiao will offend many people.

Of course, speaking of "offending", it seemed that Lin Xiao was deliberately looking for trouble. It was better to say that many people were not as noble as Lin Xiao, and their interests were violated, so they hated Lin Xiao.

Ma Gaoliang had nothing to say about this kind of person, but he knew very well that he had to protect Lin Xiao better.

To prevent Lin Xiao from being jealous of some unscrupulous people.

In addition, Ma Gaoliang can hardly forget what Lin Xiao said at the end, he wants to make the country stronger in more ways.

Previously, Ma Gaoliang thought that there were no saints in the world, but now, he saw that brilliance from Lin Xiao.

……

On the other side, after the meeting, Lin Xiaoye and Kong Huaan returned to the office.

During the meeting just now, Kong Huaan didn't say a word, and was still as taciturn as ever, but after returning to the office, he gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up: "You were so awesome just now, everyone in that group was told by you speechless."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I hope they can say a few words and refute me more, and then I can scold them better."

Kong Hua'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If they knew you thought so, they would probably be glad they didn't say anything."

Lin Xiao smiled: "They didn't say anything at the time, they just didn't know how to refute me."

Kong Huaan nodded, and then recalled what Lin Xiao said just now, and he couldn't help but think back to a few years ago, when Lin Xiao shared his ideals with him, he said about his big, medium and small ideals.

Now it seems that Lin Xiao has been striving for the ideal he said at the beginning.

Kong Huaan was very fortunate at this time, he was able to be friends with such a person, and at the same time, he was also his only friend.

When he was thinking this way, Lin Xiao suddenly asked: "By the way, what are you going to do next? If you plan to stay, I will find a way for you to go to a company that manufactures lithography machines. At least get Dangdang, the director of the software department, depending on your qualifications."

Kong Huaan, as the deputy leader of the X-ray project software group, has performed well throughout the development process.

The research and development of the entire lithography machine software system, the role he contributed to it, is recognized by the entire software group, such as the digital mask used in their X-lithography machine, which is the main advantage of the X-lithography machine, but It is obviously difficult to develop it, and Kong Huaan played a huge role in it. He proposed a light source model called modular lattice splitting, and finally successfully realized the function of a digital mask.

Compared with the price of the physical mask, which is as high as hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions, the advantage of the digital mask is almost equal to zero cost, which can almost instantly eliminate the physical mask.

Therefore, with this achievement, Kong Hua'an can definitely be ranked first in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds.

Therefore, Lin Xiao had almost no problem arranging him to be the director of the software department of the new company.

However, soon Lin Xiao smiled again: "Of course, you still have a family business to inherit, and the director or something has wronged you."

Kong Huaan shook his head and said, "I don't even plan to, I plan to continue to return to Anhua Company."

"Back to Anhua Company?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback, Anhua Company was Kong Huaan's original company, and he still had shares in this company.

But now it seems that Huaguo's semiconductor industry will be booming. With the contribution of the X-ray project and his help, Kong Huaan can first occupy the leading position in the lithography machine software. I'm concerned, at most it's just to take care of it when it's okay, but what is Kong Hua'an now?

Kong Huaan said: "I plan to continue to develop lithography machine software, and I plan to start with EDA software first."

"EDA software?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment.

Kong Huaan said: "You helped us create the hardware. I think it's time for me to play a role in the software."

"Working in the X-ray project this time, I see that I still have potential in this area."

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, then patted Kong Huaan's shoulder with a smile, and said, "My good brother, since you plan to do this, then do it, and I will support you."

Kong Huaan smiled, "Okay."

Lin Xiao nodded, then looked at the time and said, "Well, it's getting late now, let's go have a meal together."

"Okay." Kong Huaan replied.

But when the two were about to leave, Lin Xiao's cell phone rang.

He looked at the telegrapher and couldn't help being startled, it was Xu Da.

Xu Da was the high-energy physicist from Huaguo whom he met in CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

Why is he calling at this time?

After answering the phone, he said: "Xu Da, I haven't contacted you for a long time, why did you think of calling me?"

Xu Da said: "Lin Xiao... Maybe I should call you Master Lin now, hehe, I'm here to apologize to you now."

Lin Xiao was taken aback: "Apologize?"

Xu Da apologized: "When Asmail asked you to cooperate, I thought you shouldn't agree to them. At that time, I also thought that you... forget it, anyway, I came here to apologize to you. "

Lin Xiao just remembered this incident. It seems that after this incident, Xu Da didn't seem to contact him very much, but he was about to leave at that time, so he didn't think too much about it. There are reasons for this.

Then he laughed and said, "So that's what happened. I didn't think about it so much at the time. There's nothing to apologize for."

Xu Da said: "No matter what, I still have to say sorry to you. I blamed you wrongly at the time. Now thank you for creating a lithography machine for Huaguo."

"Okay, we don't need to talk about it." Lin Xiao smiled, although he was a little emotional, but he didn't care about it.

After a few more pleasantries, they hung up the phone.

Then, he said to Kong Huaan, "Let's go now."

"Ah."

Kong Huaan nodded.

Then the two left here.

……

In the next few days, a few more meetings were held, but probably because Lin Xiao was angry at the beginning, these meetings were no longer a matter of dividing the cake.

As Lin Xiao said, once these two companies are established, there is no need to worry about not making money. Look at how profitable one Asmail and one TSMC are. Even Huaxin International is very profitable, so almost No one is salivating over these two big cakes.

So these few meetings became the rule-setting meetings before the cake was divided.

These meetings include, but are not limited to, future investment in R&D funding, as well as plans for incentive models and leadership rights.

Lin Xiao listened in it, and ignored him if he was satisfied, but if he was dissatisfied, he would come out and criticize those people. Stand up and curse.

Lin Xiao didn't care at all, because Ma Gaoliang had already conveyed the meaning to him, and he was happy to be the knife, so he was very rude to these people.

So it was like this, time passed, because he was always swearing at people, the final negotiation went smoothly.

Of course, there is still a lot to discuss, so there is still a lot of time needed.

In the process, the first press conference after the success of the X-ray project also officially started.

The news that came out before was considered as a warm-up in advance, and today's press conference is the moment to really show how awesome their lithography machines are.

And this official press conference also attracted the attention of the whole world.

The mystery of the X-lithography machine is about to be revealed.

……

On October 10, at two o'clock in the afternoon at the end of the National Day.

The X-lithography machine press conference was held at the Shanghai Convention Center.

There were reporters from all over the world present, as well as many people in the industry.

As the host came to the stage to announce the official start of the press conference, Lin Xiao, the chief designer, stepped onto the rostrum.

Facing the reporters present and the cameras with long guns and short guns, he said with a smile: "Hi everyone, welcome to come here and participate in the press conference of our X-ray engraving machine."

"This is a memorable moment for our country, and I believe it is also a memorable moment for the world."

"Here, allow me to say that we have mastered X-rays."

"Friends" Asmail and TSMC who were drawn to compare in Chapter 3

As Lin Xiao said, "We have mastered the X-ray", light spots suddenly began to appear on the big black screen behind, and gradually, these light spots became clearer and clearer, until finally, these light spots An "X" outline is formed.

This animation is very cool, and it brings a very good sense to the people present. At the same time, this press conference is also broadcast live on the Internet, and any netizen can come in and watch it.

The X-lithography machine has attracted the attention of many netizens before, so even if they don't understand this professional machine, there are still netizens coming in, and there are still many.

In the live broadcast room, there are already more than 20 netizens watching, and the barrage in the live broadcast room is also constantly brushing.

"Ohhhhhhh! 』

"Come on, come on, this opening animation is too cool! 』

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!Lin Shen!Ah ah ah ah ah! ".

"Show-show-way, don't be so excited when you see Lin Xiao, if you want to learn from me, Lin Shen, I will give you a monkey!" 』

"Lin Shen is so handsome! 』

"Don't be Lin Shen, call Master Lin!" 』

There are more than 20 netizens, and the barrage is also posted quickly.

After all, this press conference is a press conference to witness the rise of Huaguo again!

Every netizen wants to see their lithography machine with their own eyes, how excellent it is!

Of course, in the excitement of the netizens in the live broadcast room, the press conference was also going on, and the "X" on the big screen became clearer and clearer. Obviously, this represented their lithography machine, which used X-rays as the light source Yes, of course, this is also their lucky name for the lithography machine, it is called X, and it can also be called X-I, which means a generation of X lithography machine.

In addition, the audience present also included fellow lithography machine manufacturers, such as people from Asmer, as well as people from Nikon and Canon. In fact, before the press conference started, the X-ray project even invited them to send people to attend.

Seeing this scene, although they are still expressionless, they all feel very envious in their hearts. As for the reason for their envy, it is also very simple. They don’t know how much money they spent and how much they invested in researching EUV and DUV light sources. Funds, especially in order to increase the output power of the light source, they have spent a lot of thought, especially in the research of EUV light source, Asmer, who is the sole monopoly, has a lot to say.

The time and money they spent on the EUV light source in the first place almost made them skip the ticket.

On the other hand, the X-rays selected by the X-ray project are almost equivalent to picking up ready-made ones.

Because the development time of X-ray light source is nearly half a century earlier than that of EUV light source.

After Roentgen discovered X-rays in his research in 1895, people quickly realized that this thing could be used in medical treatment, so the research on X-rays has not stopped since then, so the X-ray project is to pick up The off-the-shelf ones are absolutely right.

Such a sense of gap made the people from Asmail below think more and more bitterly, and finally snorted coldly: "It's just a lucky guy."

Of course, Lin Xiao on the stage didn't hear what this person said. If he knew, he would only laugh a few times, and then let it go.

At this time, in the animation on the big screen behind, the X became more and more clear. However, at this time, people can find that the lines of this X are full of various lines, just like carved patterns , Of course, for the people present in many industries, they all know that this pattern should be the circuit of the chip.

And then, the animation started to move, the original X began to enlarge, and finally it was like passing through the X. At this time, a gray-black thing appeared in the video, and the people on the field saw it and immediately recognized it. This is the RDX lens, a sci-fi item that was considered impossible before its birth, and immediately caused a sensation in the world after its birth.

When seeing this thing, those who don't know its technical difficulty will only call 666 at most, but those who know how difficult this material technology is, have different expressions on their faces at this time, such as exclamation, these are basically domestic Then there are people with complicated faces, admiration and jealousy. This kind of people naturally come from colleagues like Asmail.

If the light source of the X-lithography machine is used off-the-shelf, then this RDX lens is definitely an incredible miracle in their eyes.

Scientists in Huaguo were able to produce this incredible material, just like the KBBF laser crystal back then.

But the KBBF laser crystal can still be understood scientifically, but the RDX lens, they don't even know how it was made.

Simply incredible.

Therefore, they have to feel a little admiration or even jealousy. Why didn't they master this technology first?

And the picture on the stage was enlarged again, passed through the RDX lens, and the angle of view gradually zoomed out, and the whole picture of the X-ray machine appeared in front of everyone.

A square machine, the whole body seems to be able to tell people, and on its shell, a silver-white X is engraved on it, adding a sense of mystery to this machine representing the world's top technology.
