The soul of the scientific research boss wears the fake second generation

The Institute of High Energy Physics is different from ordinary experimental institutions. Its original intention of setting up is not to earn test fees, but to use high energy physics to solve industry problems.

If a researcher wants to conduct experiments at the Institute of High Energy Physics, he first needs to submit an experimental document, which includes the experimental plan and the significance of the experiment. If he can pass the review of the Institute of High Energy Physics, he can enter the Institute of High Energy Physics for experiments. Qualifications, not only do not need to bear the test fee, but also receive an experimental grant from the Institute of High Energy Physics.

Zhou Cheng submitted the experimental document as the chief engineer of Taiji Compiler of Huafen Group. When the concept of "proton knife" appeared on the desk of Academician Fu Shenglin, the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, he was almost caught by Academician Fu Shenglin's assistant. Throw it straight into the shredder.

"Proton knife? This is too mysterious. The submitter of this project is Minke..." The assistant just passed the report submitted by Zhou Cheng through common sense.

Afterwards, he also said to Academician Fu Shenglin, "The Huafen Group is really getting more and more inexplicable. It has come out with a Taiji compiler, and it feels like the whole universe can't accommodate them. The lithography machine technology, they are closely following in Europe and the United States. After many years of research, there is no breakthrough in the slightest. Now he actually proposed the concept of a "proton knife", which was proposed by a person engaged in programming. I really doubt that he understands microcosm? Does he understand molecules? ? Do you understand protons? Why don’t you just create an electronic knife?”

Professor Fu Shenglin knew that his assistant came back from a famous foreign school, and he has always looked down on the domestic Huafen Group. Sounds, although there are many technologies, most of them are superficial, just like HOS, if the chip supply is cut off, even if HOS is powerful, so what?

All software programs run on the operating system, and all operating systems run on core components such as chips. If the root cause of the cornerstone problem cannot be solved, then all technological breakthroughs belong to the cloud.

Although this person looked a little noble, his heart was still good.

Professor Fu Shenglin asked, "From the Pollen Group? You bring the experimental plan here, and I'll take a look. We review the experimental plans submitted by various places, and we can't rely on intuition, let alone personal subjective judgments. You take this report. Come back, I'll take a closer look, if it's really far-fetched..." Professor Fu Shenglin smiled and shook his head, if it's really far-fetched, what can they do?At best, pass this report.

No one's scientific research work ends in a single path. Most people continue to try and make mistakes in the process of exploring the future, and after bumping into each other, they carefully walk out of a path.

The assistant reprinted a copy of the experimental protocol submitted by Zhou Cheng and handed it to Professor Fu Shenglin.

Professor Fu Shenglin took out his reading glasses, opened the literature retrieval system, randomly selected one from Zhou Cheng's experimental plan where the literature citations were marked, retrieved the articles, and checked whether the citations were true and effective. It was only after the author really understood the meaning expressed in the cited document that he began to face up to Zhou Cheng's article.

Not engaging in secondary citations is already a kind of academic integrity in itself.

Seeing that Professor Fu Shenglin was looking at it, the assistant took out a pen to write and draw on the paper. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he made a cup of oolong tea for Professor Fu Shenglin with a shy face, and asked, "Mr. Fu, what are you doing?" Looking at it so seriously, is this experimental plan... really underestimated by me?"

"It's not only underestimated by you, but also by me." Fu Shenglin looked at it for a while, put down his glasses, rubbed his temples and said, "From his point of view and the reasonable reasoning based on some existing articles , the proton knife is really feasible. You just said why protons are used instead of electrons. The author also said that it is because electrons are negatively charged and are more easily affected by materials, while positively charged protons are disturbed by materials. It will be much weaker. In addition, it is the wave-particle duality. All particles will leave traces in the material structure in the process of passing through a material. If the traces left cannot be easily changed, it will form The role of 'etching' is the same for etching machines, as it is for lithography machines, and the same is true for the proton knife he mentioned."

"But when protons pass through a material, there will be very obvious attenuation, let alone be used as chip technology. It's just like holding a ball of mud and trying to smash a hole in the steel plate, is it possible?"

Professor Fu Shenglin asked, "What if the mud has enough speed? Have you forgotten the kinetic energy theorem? Xiao Xu, your mind-set is a bit strong. You are in the Institute of High Energy Physics, but you have forgotten the basic laws of physics? Go back and make up for it."

"Whether proton knife technology has a future is indeed open to discussion, but I haven't been able to see the problem from this experimental plan, so this technology is eligible to enter our Institute of High Energy Physics and use our equipment. As for whether it can Success, hand it over to the person who wrote this experimental protocol."

Professor Fu Shenglin suddenly remembered that he hadn't carefully checked who wrote the experimental protocol, so he turned to the last author's profile page and scanned, opened the mailbox himself, and replied to the mailbox left by Zhou Cheng. An email.

After replying to the email, Professor Fu Shenglin said to his assistant Xu Yan, "The HOS, which you have disliked so many times, was created by this applicant. He has made many things. I hope the proton knife can also succeed. Come on. If you are not very optimistic about the proton knife project, then I will arrange for a doctor to assist him in completing the experiment. If you can guarantee your basic quality, then you will assist him."

The assistant Xu Yan said awkwardly: "Don't worry, even if I have emotions, I will not bring them to work, and I will definitely assist this researcher."

However, does Zhou Cheng need his help?

After being familiarized with the basic operation of the laboratory equipment by Xu Yan, Zhou Cheng read the instruction manual of the "steel giant" equipment again, and then performed the experiment himself.

The graphene material needed for the experiment was sent by the pollen group.

Zhou Cheng used the proton emitter as the emission source, constantly adjusted the corresponding experimental parameters, and successfully harvested...failure after failure.

Xu Yan felt that his intuition was quite accurate. If Fu Shenglin hadn't told him not to stop Zhou Cheng's experiment casually, he would have planned to ask Zhou Cheng to write an experiment report as soon as possible, and then quickly leave the Institute of High Energy Physics to give up the experimental opportunity. Leave it to others who are prepared and confident.

What made Xu Yan feel desperate the most was that Zhou Cheng also seemed to be in despair.He still comes to the laboratory every day, but most of the time he no longer uses the equipment, but does some weird reasoning and calculates a long list of formulas on the computer.

Gradually, Xu Yan stopped watching Zhou Cheng's experiments.

Academician Chen Xiangyang would occasionally ask Zhou Cheng about his research progress, but he felt that Zhou Cheng would not make any breakthroughs in such a short period of time, nor would he ask too often, but Cheng Yuan would chat with Zhou Cheng about school, What happened in the research group and the hospital, by the way, make sure whether Zhou Cheng is still alive.

-------------------------------------

Zhou Cheng stayed in the Institute of High Energy Physics for three months, as if he had completely cut off contact with the outside world. Even Professor Fu Shenglin's evaluation of Zhou Cheng changed from "this is a young man with great ideas" to " This is a very persistent young man'.

It was already November in the capital, and the weather was not too cold, but there had been two thin snowfalls. Cheng Yuan sent a courier from the same city to Zhou Cheng, bringing woolen sweaters and thin cotton clothes.

With the passage of time, Zhou Cheng's research progress has also survived the mountains and rivers, and has survived to the end.

In fact, his research has not encountered a big bottleneck. Academicians Xu Yan and Fu Shenglin think that he has not produced results for a long time. This is also a [-]% misunderstanding. , because he found that the trajectory of the proton knife will change when it passes through the graphene, so he temporarily adjusted the substrate material of the chip, and then because the trajectory left by the proton knife on the substrate material is more three-dimensional, Zhou Cheng redesigned it. chip structure.

The mainstream technology in the world is still making chips thinner and thinner, from the millimeter level to the micron level, and then to the nanometer level, and from the etching machine to the lithography machine.

The maturity and advent of proton knife technology has directly advanced the thickness of the chip from the nanometer level to the picometer level.It is also a chip with a thickness of 5nm. The overall performance of the chip processed by the proton knife technology is far superior to that of the silicon-based chip, and the heat dissipation performance is even better than that of the silicon-based chip.

Zhou Cheng used the newly found materials to not only build a three-dimensional chip structure, but also freely shuttle and carve through the carbon material with the help of a proton knife... The technology continues to improve.

It wasn't until he was so advanced that he thought it was almost done that he took the finished product to the Institute of High Energy Physics for a scanning electron microscope test, and the test results were quite gratifying.

He wrote the experimental report in one day, and then submitted an application for leaving the institute to Academician Fu Shenglin.

When Academician Fu Shenglin saw the final report presented in front of him, he couldn't put down the teacup after holding it up for a long time.

"The proton knife technology...is it successful?" Academician Fu Shenglin asked Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng nodded first, then shook his head, "Barely considered a success, and then we need to contact the Science and Technology Group to develop a proton knife engraving machine, and then select a batch of designed chips from the Pofen Hayes Laboratory for processing. Tape-out experiment, if the tape-out experiment passes, and the superiority of the chips produced by this technology can be detected from the performance of the equipment, it will be considered a success. If the requirements are relaxed a little bit, it can be compared with the current top international Those chips in the market are flat, which is considered a success.”

Professor Fu Shenglin put down his teacup, rubbed his sore wrist, and asked Zhou Cheng, "Can you take me to see your operation? I want to see you review the experiment process again with my own eyes."

"Naturally."

Zhou Cheng has done this kind of experiment no less than a thousand times, and the success rate is quite high. He connected the proton-manipulating software to his computer, and the proton movement command was issued by the preset program in the computer. In seconds, a multi-channel chip has been born.

Zhou Cheng performed two 10-minute experiments in a row, showing off a wave of operations in front of Academician Fu Shenglin.

Professor Fu Shenglin was dumbfounded. After Zhou Cheng finished the operation, Professor Fu Shenglin thought of the most critical question, "This software on your computer is used for... modeling? Can you create a copy on the chip?" After the map comes out, if we can keep such a thing as a souvenir, our institute will definitely add three points."

"No problem, just wait."

It takes seven seconds for a proton knife to carve a chip, but it takes at least 10 minutes to design a new chip appearance. Zhou Cheng found the official map of Huaguo, built a vectorized model, and then mobilized Started the proton launch program.

Familiar textures are outlined bit by bit on the carbon material.

That is the outline of 960 million mountains and rivers.
