From all-round academic master to chief scientist

With the strong support of the government, the work of building a new production chain for silicon wafers began immediately.

Most of the relevant domestic silicon wafer production companies have state-owned shares, so these companies receive relatively more support.

In this way, at the same time across the country, at least fifty new production lines started construction. A silicon wafer production line is worth hundreds of millions. The sum of so many lines directly exceeds tens of billions.

Of course, these companies have not forgotten to upgrade their previous production lines. The upgrade is mainly to transform the equipment in the purification part. Since the purification speed has been greatly increased, they need to purchase more polishing machines to meet production requirements. To maximize efficiency, after all, there is a wooden barrel effect involved, so the number of polishing machines must also keep up.

Of course, these are only one aspect. The equipment optimization of the purification step can start now. The most important thing is the construction of additional polishing discs and polishing slurry factories.

The ones used before were all trial-produced, which is equivalent to customized products, and the production cost is relatively high. Only after the factory is built, the cost can be normalized.

However, with the support of the state, various administrative procedures have also been optimized. In addition to the necessary 3C certification and various domestic safety certifications, there are also MSDS certification, CE certification, etc. that will be required to enter the international market in the future. Etc., other procedures can be saved if possible, including factory construction approval, etc.

Of course, safety verification is also inevitable. Things like polishing fluids, which involve highly dangerous chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, need to be verified.

However, with strong support from the state, the factories that were originally expected to be completed in October or November are now expected to be completed in August.

At that time, they will truly show what the real strength of the world's factory is.

In this way, time has entered June.

…

June 5th.

In the house in Yanbeiyuan, Professor Zheng Ren and Zheng Ronger from upstairs came to visit Lin Xiao again.

"Rong'er is about to take the college entrance examination?" When Lin Xiao heard the news, he suddenly remembered that the annual college entrance examination was indeed coming.

"yes."

Zheng Ren nodded and looked at his granddaughter who was holding Mimi talking next to him, with a smile on his face, "It starts on June 7th, so there are only two days left."

Lin Xiao looked at Zheng Ronger and asked with a smile: "Is Ronger sure of getting admitted to Beijing University?"

Zheng Ronger made an "OK" gesture and said, "Of course you can!"

"That's good." Lin Xiao nodded, "What major do you want to study then?"

"math!"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Mathematics?"

Zheng Ronger put down her breasts in her arms, moved her body, ran to Lin Xiao's side, hugged one of his arms, and then started to act coquettishly: "It's mathematics! Brother, when the time comes, you Would you like to be my mentor?"

"tutor?"

"Okay? I heard from grandpa that we will choose a mentor then!" Zheng Ronger shook Lin Xiao's arm again.

Zheng Ren next to him smiled and said: "Rong'er tutored you in mathematics for a few months, and now he is particularly interested in mathematics. I hope to be able to enter your mathematics college and find you as a supporter."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao laughed and said to Zheng Ronger: "Okay, Ronger said so, of course I won't refuse."

"Great!"

Zheng Ronger immediately cheered, and then refuted what Zheng Ren said just now: "I'm not looking for a backer, I want to learn mathematics from Brother Lin Xiao!"

Zheng Ren laughed again and said, "Yes, yes, I will study hard with your brother Lin Xiao, and then I will become a famous female mathematician."

"I sure can."

Zheng Ronger nodded, her face very confident.

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Then you should try to take the exam well. Get admitted to the School of Mathematics of Peking University first, and we will talk about other things later."

"Yeah!" Zheng Ronger nodded.

Of course, it is easy for Zheng Ronger to get admitted to Beijing University. As one of the most stable top five students in 101 Middle School, a well-known middle school in Beijing, she can easily be admitted to Beijing University even without considering that she has a Beijing household registration. If she has advantages, it will be easier for her to enter Beijing University, as it is completely optional.

"Of course, when you become my student, I will be very strict and won't let you go."

At this time, Lin Xiao reminded again.

Zheng Ren also nodded, "You definitely can't relax."

But Zheng Ronger raised her chin and said as if she didn't care at all: "Of course it's no problem, just ask."

Seeing her like this, Lin Xiao smiled, stretched out his hand, bent one finger, and said: "First of all, during the summer vacation, you have to study all the first semester courses by yourself, and I will also teach you You come up with the question.”

"no problem!"

Zheng Ronger looked unconcerned.

"It's not over yet." Lin Xiao smiled, and then he bent another finger: "Then you need to continue to be among the top five in your grade every semester."

Zheng Ronger was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips slightly, then waved her hand with determination and said, "It's no problem!"

Lin Xiao laughed, and then added: "In addition, during your undergraduate period, you need to publish two SCI papers."

Zheng Ronger's face suddenly fell.

Although she is still a high school student, her grandfather is a professor of physics at Peking University, and her grandmother is a professor of business administration at Peking University. She still knows about these papers, such as SCI in science and engineering, and SSCI in social sciences. She is deeply influenced by the difficulty of publishing such papers. Naturally, the people below also know.

She also knew that for undergraduates, being able to publish one article was considered a great achievement, but now Lin Xiao said he would publish two?

But she gritted her teeth and finally nodded and said, "It's no problem!"

Seeing her like this, Lin Xiao and Zheng Ren both laughed.

"Okay, don't worry, I will still coach you when the time comes."

Lin Xiao reached out and rubbed Zheng Ronger's head, finally feeling relieved.

Zheng Ren also said: "If you want to become a female mathematician, you have to do it this way. Think about how awesome your brother Lin Xiao was when he was in college."

"Um!"

Hearing this, Zheng Ronger's expression finally recovered, and she nodded in response.

She also secretly made up her mind to work harder when the time comes!

Thinking of this, she turned around and hugged Mimi again, and started to rub it.

We’ll talk about hard work later. Let’s get some comfort from the kitty first.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao's cell phone rang.

Lin Xiao took a look and saw that it was Ma Gaoliang calling.

He nodded towards Zheng Ren, and then he answered the phone, "Director Ma, what's the matter?"

"Professor Lin." Ma Gaoliang's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Tomorrow we have a more important symposium about the semiconductor industry chain, so I hope you can come over then. Do you think tomorrow will be convenient?"

Semiconductor industry chain?

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the breakthrough in silicon wafer production technology had given them ideas to go further.

Of course, he is very supportive of this. It just so happens that he has already had this plan.

Getting silicon wafers is just the first step.

There are still many goals to be accomplished.

As recently as this time, he has been studying lens polishing technology.

He perfectly organized the lens polishing process of the photolithography machine in his mind.

It is very difficult to produce smooth lenses that reach the picometer level under the root mean square statistics of photolithography machines. The German Zeiss company can achieve this, and those polishing technicians who can be called "gold fingers" are the key.

And China obviously cannot find such a polishing master.

However, these top polishing masters also need machines to operate.

So what Lin Xiao is currently studying is how to directly use machines to solve this problem.

Now, he already has an idea, and this idea just needs the support of the state.

He said, "Okay, what time will it be tomorrow and where will it be?"

"It's ten in the morning. I'll pick you up then."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Ren asked: "Director Ma Gaoliang?"

"Um."

Lin Xiao nodded.

Zheng Ren sighed with emotion and said, "I've also heard about the things you did recently. To be honest, it's really exciting."

Lin Xiao smiled: "It's not bad, I can only take one step at a time."

Zheng Ren nodded and said, "I wish you success."

"Then let me borrow Professor Zheng's good advice."

"What are you talking about?"

Zheng Ronger, who was next to her, heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help showing a confused expression.

"It's nothing." Lin Xiao rubbed Zheng Ronger's head and said with a smile, "You will know when you are older."

"I'm older now!"

"It's not enough, it needs to be bigger."

Lin Xiao shook his head.

"Humph, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

Seeing Lin Xiao but still not talking, Zheng Ronger simply ignored it and started teasing Mimi next to her again.

…

the next day.

Lin Xiao got into the car where Ma Gaoliang came to pick him up as promised.

Of course, it was actually Ma Gaoliang’s driver who drove the car.

"Where is this meeting taking place?"

Lin Xiao asked.

"National Court."

Ma Gaoliang said.

Lin Xiao frowned. According to the National Council, it seems that the scope of this meeting is even larger.

Probably knowing what Lin Xiao was thinking, Ma Gaoliang added: "In addition, there are quite a lot of people attending this meeting. Experts from the Institute of Optoelectronics, Modu Microelectronics Equipment, and Qinghua Unisplendour are all here, mainly to discuss our future. Further development direction, and you also know that because of the encoder eight-point structure you came up with, we have further hope in various precision fields, so many things can be done in the future."

"Um."

Lin Xiao nodded.

The gap between China and foreign countries in many fields is based on the gap between China and foreign countries in the field of precision processing, and the emergence of this eight-point structure directly raised their upper limit in this field to a world-class level.

So this meeting will probably focus on this.

Of course, he also prepared what he wanted to talk about.

With a slight flash of eyes, Lin Xiao began to look forward to this meeting.

Time passed quickly and their car arrived at the gate of the National Academy of Sciences.

After entering the State Council, they came to a large conference room.

There were already many people sitting in the large conference room. When some of them saw Lin Xiao, their eyes lit up and they walked towards him.

"Hello, Professor Lin."

"Professor Lin is here too."

"Professor Lin..."

The people present were basically experts, and of course there were some government officials. After meeting Lin Xiao, these people all showed their enthusiasm without exception.

Lin Xiao also responded to the enthusiasm of these people in turn.

After saying hello, the staff present came up and took him to the seat at the front.

"Professor Lin, you can just sit here."

"OK, thanks."

Lin Xiao looked at his seat. It was an oval table, and the seat to his right was the first one.

And he is to the left of the first place.

In modern China, the left is respected.

Ranking position is a very particular thing, whether it is abroad or domestic.

Of course, he didn't care about this, he was just thinking about how to talk about himself later.

However, at this time, the person sitting on his left smiled and said to him: "Professor Lin, hello."

Lin Xiao turned around and asked, "Who are you?"

"Director of the Institute of Optoelectronics, Luo Gangxian."

Lin Xiao suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Academician Luo, hello."

"I have always wanted to meet Professor Lin before, but we have been busy recently, so we have no chance." Luo Gangxian said with a smile, "But first, I have to express my gratitude to Professor Lin."

Lin Xiao was confused: "Thank you for what?"

Luo Gangxian said: "Of course it's because of your eight-point structure encoder. Now the industry seems to directly call it Lin's structure. I do micro-nano processing, such as optical lenses."

He smiled and said: "The current technology of our Institute of Optoelectronics can achieve surface shape accuracy better than 0.3nm-RMS and surface roughness better than 0.2nm-RMS in the processing of spherical and planar optical elements. For aspherical elements, it is relatively Said it should be higher."

"However, now we have a chance to achieve breakthroughs in processing accuracy, and we may be able to reduce it some in the future."

Hearing what Luo Gangxian said, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "But there are still bottlenecks."

Luo Gangxian nodded and sighed: "There is indeed a bottleneck. It is estimated that it can only reach 0.1nm-RMS at most. At this level, there is still a gap with Zeiss, and optical lenses below 0.1nm-RMS cannot be manufactured. "

At this level, it is not just the technological advancement of a single part that can achieve a breakthrough. Otherwise, there would not be only one Zeiss abroad.

In this industry, winner takes all.

But Lin Xiao smiled: "Academician Luo, you can look forward to it later."

Luo Gangxian was stunned: "What?"

Lin Xiao didn't say much.

Luo Gangxian was confused, but he could only wait for Lin Xiao to speak later.

Soon, an old man walked in from the door. When they saw him, everyone stood up and paid tribute.

And Ye Cheng also saw this old man who he had met before. That time, he happened to prove Goldbach's conjecture.

The old man also saw him, smiled at him, and then walked to the front seat next to Lin Xiao, shook hands with him first, and then sat down.

In the conference room, people also became quiet.
