The 10,000th Rebirth

The reason why carbon-based wafers are so difficult is that there is a key crux, that is, the manufacturing process.

If you want to make carbon nanotube wafers with performance comparable to commercial devices, an important prerequisite is that you must be able to produce high-purity, high-density, and neatly arranged carbon nanotube arrays.

Once these prerequisites are not met, problems are likely to occur during use.

So far, the purity of the carbon nanotube arrays used is only four 9s, that is, 99.99%.

According to the speculation of scientists from various countries, this purity must be at least eight 9s before the performance of carbon nanotube wafers can be comparable to traditional wafers.

It is this technology that has blocked all countries in the world that are conducting research in this area.

Because don’t think it’s as simple as adding one more 9 at the end. In fact, every additional one is another order of magnitude. It takes at least four or five years of research and development to increase one 9.

Once this carbon-based wafer is put into use, due to its advantages in power consumption and performance, it can play a huge role in basic application scenarios.

For example, if the energy consumption of the wafer can continue to drop by two orders of magnitude, it can be powered by very subtle energy sources such as human body fluids and body temperature, that is, it can be implanted in the human body for use, and the use scenarios will be broader than current consumer electronics products.

As well as scenes such as national borders and space that have more stringent energy consumption requirements, carbon-based wafers also have extremely wide application potential.

Chen Luo naturally heard the doubt and disbelief in Wang Zining's tone, and he did not explain, because anyone who knows a little about the wafer industry knows that this is impossible.

In fact, even in 2019, the research and development of carbon-based wafers has only reached the progress of six 9s, and it is still two orders of magnitude away from eight 9s.

If Chen Luo did not have a huge amount of knowledge in his mind and a lot of boring time to carry out research in this area, I am afraid he would not be able to do this.

"Wait for half an hour, I will send a study on the production of carbon-based wafers with graphene materials to your mailbox, and you can go to domestic experts in related fields to analyze the feasibility."

Chen Luo knew that if he explained to Wang Zining, he might not understand.

Even if he understood, Chen Luo still had to prove to the people above him that he had this technology that could affect the entire wafer industry.

So Chen Luo didn't waste time and directly gave this research to Wang Zining, asking him to confirm it first, which was more useful than any explanation.

When Wang Zining heard this, he knew that Chen Luo was really not joking.

As long as this kind of thing is taken out, experts in this field can tell whether it is true or false and whether it is feasible.

"Remember, you must find the most reliable person to see it. You will never want this information to be leaked."

Wang Zining certainly knew the importance of this technology. He said without even thinking about it, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I guarantee with my life that this document will never be leaked!"

"Very good, remember to check your email in half an hour."

After Chen Luo finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly and took the notebook on the co-pilot.

Chen Luo created a new document and quickly typed it on it.

The reason why he asked Wang Zining to wait for half an hour was naturally because he had to write it now.

This was not too difficult for Chen Luo. He only needed to recall the relevant research in his previous life.

Chen Luo's fingers flew on the keyboard, and he saw the words on the document began to pour down rapidly like a waterfall.

What Chen Luo wrote down was one of the research directions of carbon-based wafers, graphene materials.

The reason why graphene is the best choice among many carbon materials is that it can switch between superconductivity and insulation in a controllable way, which means that the materials made of it will not heat up.

For example, computers and mobile phones will get hot after being used for too long, so computers must be equipped with radiators to avoid overheating and burning the CPU.

The knowledge involved is very large and complex. Even with Chen Luo's brain power and typing speed, it took nearly half an hour to finish this 50,000-word research report.

However, Chen Luo did not completely believe Wang Zining, but retained a lot of key things.

This document is full of theoretical knowledge. Chen Luo did not write down the specific experimental data and production process.

After Chen Luo encrypted and packed the data, he sent it to Wang Zining's mailbox.

At this time, Wang Zining was staring at his computer screen with wide eyes, constantly looking at the time, calculating how long it would take to half an hour.

Wang Zining was actually very busy, with many things to do, and those anthrax powders to deal with.

Now that Huang Wenshi is dead, he has to continue to track down through Yue Wuji to see if he can track down other clues.

But when Chen Luo talked about this carbon-based wafer technology, Wang Zining handed all these things over to his subordinates, because he knew that the importance of this thing was far above those terrorists.

Putting aside the carbon-based wafer technology, just the fact that Chen Luo said that he could build a lithography machine within two years, and there was also a 5-nanometer wafer technology, was enough for Wang Zining to pay attention to.

This means that if what Chen Luo said is true, it only takes a few years of development time for the domestic wafer industry to completely get rid of the situation of being strangled by the United States and other Western countries.

This is already a matter of national strategic level, far more important than some terrorists.

Just when Wang Zining was counting the seconds, he suddenly saw a new email pop up in his mailbox, and he almost immediately clicked on the email.

When he saw the subject of the email, Wang Zining knew it was sent by Chen Luo. When he couldn't help but excitedly downloaded it and wanted to decompress the file, a line of prompts popped up.

"Please enter the decompression password."

Wang Zining was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what it meant.

Chen Luo was obviously very careful and encrypted this document.

But the email did not tell him the decompression password, so how could he open it.

Just as Wang Zining was about to call Chen Luo to ask, his mobile phone received a text message from Chen Luo at this time.

"Use the decoder of Su Shilin's encrypted file to decrypt."

Wang Zining was stunned when he saw the text message, and then he reacted.

The last time Chen Luo cracked Su Shilin's encrypted document, there was a software decoder in it, which could query the private accounts of Swiss bank customers through the code.

But although the decoder was still there, Chen Luo did not leave the code, so how could he decrypt it?
