Sign In To 300 Cities Around The World For The Start

Chapter 46 The Diamond Age! (Happy New Year!!!)

the next day.

After a simple breakfast, Chen Anhe went out.

Today is the opening time of the Jiangnan Motor Show, and it is also the time he and Xu Wen agreed to meet.

He did not choose to drive his own car, but called Didi.

First, it was Koenigsegg’s suggestion. Second, this car is going to be exhibited today. He drove one over and slapped the organizer a bit.

When Chen Anhe rushed to the Auto City, there were already many people here.

They all came to the auto show.

He looked outside, and at a glance, he saw a young literary and artistic man who was wearing gold glasses and keeping an inch not far away, waving his hand vigorously at him.

This person is Xu Wen.

Xu Wen’s image is completely different from that in online chats. He wears glasses, a harmless smile on his face, and a gentle look.

He walked towards Chen Anhe.

As he approached, he proficiently smashed Chen An and the chest, and then squeezed his thumb and index finger, revealing the two auto show tickets hidden in the cuffs.

“Let’s go, let you see.”

“Although you have been abroad for almost three years, in terms of knowledge, you may not have as many as I am.”

“I haven’t watched all kinds of videos in the past three years.”

Seeing Xu Wen’s inadvertent appearance, Chen Anhe chuckled and shook his head.

He reached out and took a ticket, glanced at it, it was a very ordinary ticket, but the workmanship was a little more exquisite, and there was an extra VIP logo.

The two went to the ticket gate.

The ticket check was successful.

Entering the auto show, the atmosphere is different in an instant, and the overall look and feel is even more lofty. Many 4s stores have also launched AR experiences, and there are special car models on the side, giving people the ultimate visual enjoyment.

This time the auto show is admission with VIP tickets.

However, Jiangnan’s main slogan this time is ‘large scale’, not only the large-scale vehicle brand, but also the large-scale number of participants. In fact, a lot of admission tickets like this have been issued.

As for why it is called a vip ticket, it is purely to improve the compulsory standard.

This kind of admission ticket, except that the entry barrier will be slightly higher, and the public’s chance of getting a ticket is lower. In fact, it is no different from ordinary tickets.

Xu Wen clearly understood the auto show and explained very intimately:

“The main focus of this auto show is the real experience, easy viewing of the car, a variety of choices, transparent prices, convenient car pickup, and professional after-sales. If you order a car on the spot, you can also participate in the lottery.”

“The prizes are actually okay. What are the luxury new car decoration spree, and the household appliances spree?”

“However, the real eye-catching cars at this auto show are the luxury cars, many of which have not been officially launched, and many of them are the world’s top limited editions. Of course, the more expensive ones are the cars that were unveiled for the first time in the world.”

“That’s the real highlight!”

Chen Anhe nodded.

Every auto show is a time when various auto brands are competing, especially large-scale international auto shows, which are the main battlefield of the struggle, and many companies will take out the bottom of the box.

He smiled and said, “Looking at you like this, do you feel moved by that car?”

Xu Wen said: “It’s not true, it’s just pure appreciation.”

“I have been following the auto industry for five or six years. The cars I can see start at least one million or two million. Even if I can afford it, all the gas, parking, car care, and insurance can crush me to death. .”

“And I stay in the laboratory all day, and I rarely go out. It’s not a good deal to buy a car.”

Xu Wen is still very careful about his life.

Chen Anhe nodded, as if thinking of something, curiously said:

“You are still staying at the Jiangnan Research Institute? Haven’t thought of moving? Back then you gave up the postgraduate entrance examination and plunged into it. The salary there seems to be not very high. I really don’t know what you are doing.”

Xu Wen pushed his glasses, very contented:

“You do not understand.”

“At that time, the Jiangnan Institute of Science and Technology expanded its enrollment in the semiconductor project, and the number of places was limited. If I go to the postgraduate entrance examination, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to enter this project team in the future. This is the top special project team in China. I stayed in it for three years. The annual research is much more useful.”

“and.”

“I am now a mid-level engineer.”

“The backbone of the Eight Classics.”

Chen Anhe gave him a thumbs up.

“What are you researching now? Graphite? Or something else? It feels mysterious.”

Xu Wen helplessly spread his hands.

“The graphite thing has long been gone.”

“Now I am researching diamonds, which is also the main research direction in China and the main goal of the next and next two generations of the country.”

“Think about it, there is a huge diamond radiator on top of the computer cpu. Does this frequency have to go to heaven?”

“Moreover, diamonds have extremely strong corrosion resistance. If they are used to make chips, human technology will have a qualitative leap. You should know that we are still in the golden age. If diamond chips can be made, then humans will enter The Diamond Age.”

“That will be a real technological breakthrough!”

Xu Wen looked excited and was very optimistic about the prospects of studying diamonds.

but.

Chen Anhe is not optimistic at all.

He came from an engineering background, and he has a certain amount of knowledge about these things. Not to mention using diamonds to make chips, that is, to make radiators. The cost is sky-high.

To make a diamond radiator, it means to use diamond microcrystalline particles to reinforce the composite material. This cost and efficiency is basically difficult to achieve without major technological breakthroughs.

It is more difficult to make a chip.

That means abandoning lithography and using X-ray and electron beam direct writing. This cost may not be able to sustain even top foreign companies, not to mention domestic research institutes with limited scientific research funds.

Of course, this idea is really exciting.

Once successful, it indicates that mankind has evolved from the golden age to the diamond age.

And with the solution of the doping problem, perhaps mankind also has the motivation to study the process of making diamond single crystals as large as the current silicon wafers, which will also be a big step for mankind’s progress.

However, this kind of thing currently only exists in the laboratory.

If the problems of cost and efficiency are not resolved, mankind has a long way to go to achieve real technological breakthroughs. At least Chen Anhe has no hope for major technological breakthroughs in recent decades.

Chen Anhe asked:

“How is the progress of your research now?”

Xu Wen shook his head helplessly.

“The progress is very slow.”

“Firstly, the funding is limited, and secondly, the number of lithography machines that meet the standards is not enough. There are few relevant experiments that can be carried out every year, and most of them are still in the theoretical stage. The above requirement is that a small improvement every year is not bad. .”

“I can’t help it.”

Chen Anhe patted Xu Wen on the shoulder,

“Don’t think about it, let’s watch the auto show with peace of mind. If you choose that car, tell me, I will buy it for you, and of course you will pay for the gas.”

“I just buy and ignore the others!”

“There is no need, you should get your job done first, otherwise your mother will have to let me find it for you.” Xu Wen sighed lightly, not taking Chen Anhe’s words to heart.

He only regarded this as a ridicule.
