Vol 2 Chapter 87: Angstrom Transmission Electron Microscope

"Start with the miniature, high-efficiency and high-resolution electron microscope we need." He Xingzhou said, "While studying the lens, it also solved the optical problem of genetic engineering instruments."

Academician Pan Yan has mentioned to him many times. Without sophisticated genetic engineering equipment, it is impossible to detect the genetic information of the Zerg race.

If it was a year ago, it would be difficult to manufacture this thing, because they have to face difficulties in materials, manufacturing levels, design, and image algorithms.

In this year, He Xingzhou's various scientific and technological reserves have solved three major problems.

Materials, China has been able to manufacture top-notch glass and related materials;

The manufacturing level, the processing level of the Longteng machine tool, the smaller one can polish the lens of the micro-electron microscope, the larger one can polish the lens of the space telescope and the nuclear fusion power generation device!

The image algorithm was also perfected by He Xingzhou not long ago.

The only problem is the design!

And He Xingzhou just unlocked the mechanism diagram of a hundred kinds of optical instruments from Quantum Optic Brain. As long as he was given a certain amount of time, he would be able to complete it!

When He Xingzhou led the team to concentrate on researching optoelectronic instruments, the outside world, the public was still paying attention to the game "God and Goku", which gained a good reputation and became the world's highest-selling stand-alone game in just one month. Sold more than 50 million copies!

Thirty percent of them are foreign players!

As a result, major game manufacturers have announced that they have purchased the authorization of the "Qiankun" physics engine and will make related games.

There is also news that the seven countries will hold a forum to discuss development issues.

This forum has not yet started, and all parties seem to have started some new small actions.

...

Light Country, Oregon, Hillsboro, FEI Corporation.

This is a company that produces and operates a variety of scientific instruments and provides world-class microscopy solutions for the global nanotechnology community.

The transmission electron microscope produced by it is one of the essential equipment for life science research.

"Mr. Taylor, we have prepaid 30% of the deposit. When your company's products arrive, we will pay the remaining 70% in accordance with the regulations." The company's business department, a buyer from China Bo is speaking with Taylor, a senior president of FEI, in fluent English.

Taylor smiled and said: "Of course it's okay. All of your customized transmission electron microscopes have been manufactured. We will ship them immediately when they are approved for export!"

"I wish us a happy cooperation!" Xu Bo shook his hand, and he was relieved.

He is the head of a medical technology research organization and came here to purchase transmission electron microscopes for life science research.

Of course, this is just his superficial identity, and Xu Bo's true identity is the third-level executor of the Xuanwu Plan.

For the Zerg research, the team encountered very big obstacles in equipment. Related high-end equipment is not available, so they can only focus on related parts.

These days, Xu Bo and other teams traveled to various countries and failed to buy products as they wished. For example, the manufacturer of this high-end transmission electron microscope has only three companies in the world that can produce it, two of which are in the Sakura Country.

They initially looked for a cherry blossom manufacturer, but the other party directly rejected their purchase requirements.

In desperation, through various relationships, the premium was also increased by 300%. Only then did they reach an agreement with FEI to purchase a part of the transmission electron microscope that is not the top-notch.

Xu Bo didn't know, even though he was very careful and disguised in the name of an ordinary purchaser, his purchase list went to the Intelligence Center of Deng Country.

"This Oriental bought a large number of high-end transmission electron microscopes, which are suspected to be used in life science research." The intelligence personnel reported the list.

"Life science?" Recently, they are very sensitive to life science.

It is said that because many mutant organisms have been discovered recently, the order has already been ordered, so the development of related science and technology must be monitored.

"They have been looking for related instruments and equipment, and the purchase of a transmission electron microscope this time should be one of them."

"Can't sell!" The examiner put a red seal of refusal on the seal.

Subordinates: "This is FEI's largest order this year than the order. If they refuse, they must be very dissatisfied, and the order as a whole is compliant."

The reviewer glared at him and cursed: "This kind of thing can't be sold for more money! As for the reason, do I still need to teach you? Just find an excuse and just get stuck."

"Yes." The subordinates understood instantly, and the boss said so, it means that he can resist the pressure of FE. As for excuses, just make up any one.

Xu Bo got bad news before he returned to China.

"Mr. Xu, what we bought was stuck, saying that it involved a certain restricted technology..." After the entourage finished speaking, Xu Bo frowned.

"It was hard to buy, and if these instruments were not shipped back, we would be holding back the Xuanwu plan!" an entourage said anxiously.

"Yes. These transmission electron microscopes can be used at least on dozens of high-end instruments, and we must not go wrong with us!"

"But this is the place of other people, they don't sell their things, what should we do?" someone asked.

Xu Bo said: "We alone will definitely not work. Contact FEI, if these things are released, they will also suffer huge losses. Let FEI pressure, there may be opportunities."

"Yes, we are not the only one who is anxious. FEI also faces huge losses. Here they are more effective than us."

Xu Bo contacted Tyler immediately, and as he thought, Tyler was too anxious.

Suddenly a ban was imposed by the relevant departments, and they would have to suffer huge losses.

He promised: "Don't worry, our company has requested a review. It has not been clearly stated that this is more problematic than the order, and there is still a chance!"

Xu Bo and others are also operating, but they have encountered too much resistance and have not made any progress.

...

In the institute, He Xingzhou is designing an Amm-class transmission electron microscope.

One angstrom is equal to one tenth of a nanometer, ten to the minus tenth of a meter!

At present, most of the trapped transmission electron microscopes in the world are in the micron level, and the most sophisticated ones can reach the sub-angstrom level.

"Traditional optical microscopes cannot see the 0.2 micron ultrastructure because the wavelength of visible light is too long. The wavelength of the electron beam is much shorter than that of visible light, and the higher the voltage, the shorter the wavelength."

He Xingzhou looked at his computer. There were five drawings on it, which were divided into lighting system, imaging system, vacuum system, recording system, and power supply system.

Most of them can be handed over to the team for design. The most difficult part is the electronic lens, which involves multiple systems.

"Vacuum electron gun, condenser, object sample chamber, objective lens, diffractive lens, intermediate mirror, projection lens, phosphor screen and camera." He Xingzhou further subdivided the electronic lens and began to design one by one.

"The electron gun is actually heating the filament. When the heating current passes through, the filament emits electrons. The beam tip of the arrow-axe or point-like filament is more concentrated..."

This is a very brain-burning process, and the design of each structure requires a lot of thinking and calculations.

While he is working, Luo Zhenhai leads people to conquer technologies such as microelectronics and micro sensors to improve the related technologies of smart glasses; while Yan Rui’s team is using optical lens and optical sensor technology, including a multiphoton laser scanning Microscopy technology is an improved version of He Xingzhou's original two-photon laser scanning microscope technology.

This microscope can be used in life sciences to observe brain slices, embryos and organs.

Compared with the Amm-class transmission electron microscope designed by He Xingzhou, the optical lens required for smart glasses is a small problem.

...

One month's time passed away quietly, and only one month is left before the Seven Nations Forum.

In waiting countries, Xu Bo's team has exhausted various methods, formal channels, and finding relationships, with little success.

The transmission electron microscope they purchased has been detained at the customs and cannot be returned to the country.

"Mr. Simon, you have reviewed our procurement documents for a month." At the relevant unit, Xu Bo argued for reasons, "We have submitted all the documents and materials you asked us to submit. All procedures are legal and compliant. We require Return the goods we purchased immediately!"

The person in charge Simon looked at these oriental people with a cold expression, and said: "Compliance or non-compliance is not up to you, but to be checked by us!"

"We haven't finished the inspection yet, so please wait patiently."

He doesn't care what Xu Bo and others say. It's only a month. What's the rush? At least it will take a few years!

"Mr. Simon, your doing this has seriously harmed the interests of our FEI company!" Taylor was also very upset about this, "If it is not resolved within ten days, I will complain to the industry management committee!"

For Taylor, Simon's attitude is much better.

He smiled and said: "President Taylor, don't worry, we are also actively testing and researching problems. Coming in will not cause losses to your company. Then you come again in ten days, and we will conduct a review meeting and make a decision."

Taylor snorted coldly: "I hope so!"

In a capitalist society, the energy of these capitalists cannot be underestimated. If FEI cannot be comforted, they will also have to face tremendous pressure!

Nine days later, FEI company.

Taylor met Simon before the review meeting.

Simon opened his mouth and said, "This batch of instruments cannot be sold to China."

"Then what about our company's losses?" Taylor demanded.

"Don't worry, although we can't sell to China, we have already found other buyers for you. Recently, companies in Sakura and Korea are preparing to order a batch of transmission electron microscopes. We can act as a middleman for you to sell these products. In this way, you are compliant and don't have to suffer losses." Simon said.

FEI's pressure still worked, but their solution did not take Xu Bo and others into consideration.

"Then what about our company's reputation?" Taylor demanded.

"Don't worry, this is something that can't be helped. No one can say anything. And I can tell you clearly that in the future, there will be no customers from the East for this kind of instrument." Simon said.

His words were very meaningful, and Taylor probably understood it.

After weighing the pros and cons, he agreed: "Okay, then do as you say!"

Simon smiled and said, "When we meet tomorrow, President Taylor must know how to do it."

...

The next day, Xu Bo and others saw Simon and Taylor again.

Compared with the anxiety and anxiety before, the expressions of Xu Bo and others today seem to be calmer.

"Pretend, see when you can pretend!" Simon smiled secretly. Now their biggest reliance on FEI is also with themselves. Their products, don't want to buy them back in this life!

As soon as he saw Taylor, Xu Bo's attitude changed. He directly attacked Taylor and asked: "Mr. Taylor, why did you return our deposit again? This is a breach of contract!"

"We haven't got the ordered goods yet!"

Facing Xu Bo’s questioning, Taylor was still acting. He said, "It's a shame."

"Mr. Xu, just now, Mr. Simon told me that this batch of goods could not be shipped because they violated relevant laws and regulations. So our company has returned the deposit to avoid causing losses to you."

Xu Bo said angrily: "You have caused us huge losses, not only the deposit, but also the cost of various related projects! According to the contract, you have to compensate us for our losses!"

"No, no, no!" Simon said, and he said with a smile: "Because this order violates the law, your contract is also invalid, and we have already made a judgment."

"According to regulations, FEI does not need to compensate you for any losses!"

If it was ten days ago, Xu Bo and the others would only vomit blood! They spent so much effort back and forth, and the other party was completely unreasonable, not following the rules, and like a hooligan, all their efforts were lost!

Even FEI has changed its position, pitting its customers regardless of its reputation.

This kind of behavior is too light to use shamelessly!

Simon wanted to see the furious but helpless look of this group of Orientals~www.readwn.com~, but he found that Xu Bo and others were not angry.

Xu Bo said: "We have been treated unfairly. We will not remain silent about this matter. The entire international community will know about this matter!"

Simon disagrees. It's not the first time they have done this. Could anyone help them to speak up? Even if there is, they don't care, Deng Country is the boss of the world now!

Xu Bo's second sentence was to make Taylor and Simon confused.

He said: "In addition, I want to thank you today."

"Thank us?" Simon and Taylor thought to themselves, these Orientals, confused?

Xu Bo smiled: "Because just yesterday, I got news that our country's research institute has developed an electron microscope with a lens at the Amm level. I originally wanted to return this shipment, but I was worried about breach of contract. Since you said The contract was invalid and the deposit was refunded. For us, that is the best of both worlds!"

"You don't need to spend so much money to buy outdated equipment, and you don't need to be liable for breach of contract, so I have to say thank you!"
