The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 268 Black Crystal [Additional]

Huang He tried to approach the laboratory, but was rejected by Ni Guangnan.

Huang He tried to put on airs as the chairman, but was kicked out by Ni Guangnan!

Huang He finally waited at the base for 9 hours bored, before Ni Guangnan and Tong He came out of the laboratory.

"Chairman, I was wrong. Punish me as you please!" Seeing Huang He, Tong He knelt down very simply, and said with tears all over his face.

With such a good attitude, Huang He didn't even know how to scold him.

"You shouldn't kneel down to me, but you should admit your mistakes and apologize to those colleagues who were seriously injured by you. You go to BJ immediately and ask forgiveness from all colleagues and their families!" Huang He said sharply, Tong He Ze nodded vigorously, and was about to set off to ask for forgiveness.

"Don't go!" Unexpectedly, Tong He was stopped by Ni Guangnan.

"Mr. Ni, you can't do this. Tong He should admit his mistakes when he made a mistake. Each of the five people came back after struggling to death. Shouldn't he apologize?" Huang He frowned and said, he felt Ni Guangnan went too far.

"Of course an apology should be made, but you can't go to BJ to apologize. I think it's better to let Tong He apologize to them after they return to the company!" Ni Guangnan said.

"Why?" Huang He was stunned for a moment, "I'll apologize until then, the day lily is cold."

"Because Tong He has a huge secret on his shoulders, if he encounters danger when he goes out, it will be a huge loss for the entire Chinese chip industry!" Ni Guangnan said.

"Teacher, can we stop using exaggerated rhetorical techniques?" Huang He rolled his eyes and said.

"No, this is not an exaggeration, but a fact!" Ni Guangnan shook his head and said, "Tong He, show your chairman the results of your experiment."

"Yes!" Tong He nodded, and then spread out the palm he had been holding tightly, revealing a piece, only the size of a fingernail, a black and shiny crystal like glass.

"What is this? Black glass?" After Huang He asked this question, he felt stupid for asking. Is there such a black glass that Ni Guangnan attaches so much importance to?

"Well, we haven't figured out what it's called!" Tong He scratched his head and said, "Actually, this is the result of the previous explosion experiment."

"Thanks to the high-intensity pressure of more than 1 units, several materials that could not be fused before have finally fused into this crystal in my hand. Since it has not been named yet, I call it the black crystal for the time being."

"Heijing!" Huang He showed a curious expression, "This Heijing, does he have any special characteristics?"

"Yes!" Tong He nodded, "The teacher and I have been soaking in the laboratory before, just to study the characteristics of this black crystal. But because of time constraints, only a part of the characteristics have been explored, and more characteristics are yet to come." It is unknown, but according to the characteristics that have been explored, it is found that except for one point, all the other characteristics of the black crystal are almost exactly the same as those of single crystal silicon."

"Oh! Don't tell me that you spent 3 million yuan in losses, and five people were seriously injured, just to get an item with the same characteristics as monocrystalline silicon?"

"This thing needs more than 1 units of high-pressure manufacturing, and the manufacturing cost is hundreds of thousands of times that of monocrystalline silicon!" Huang He rolled his eyes.

"Hey!" Tong He smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Of course it won't be exactly the same. Hei Jing is a semiconductor at room temperature, but as the voltage increases, he becomes a semi-superconductor!"

"What!" Huang He's ass almost fell off, and he looked straight at Tong He and Ni Guangnan, "You said this thing is a semi-superconductor? What do you mean?"

Semi-superconductor is a vocabulary specially developed by my teacher and I to describe the properties of this material. You can tell from the name that it is related to superconductors.

The so-called superconductor is a material that can completely transmit electric energy without any loss when the resistance disappears completely under certain conditions.

A semi-superconductor is a material that is close to a superconductor, but still has a little resistance.

"So, isn't this still a semiconductor?" Huang He yawned.

"That's right!" Tong He nodded embarrassingly, "However, as long as this black crystal reaches the turn-on voltage, its conductivity will undergo a qualitative leap. The resistivity is 1000/[-] of that of a semiconductor made of single crystal silicon under the same conditions!!"

"Damn..." Huang He almost fell off the chair again.

"1000 times?" Huang He couldn't help but asked again.

"At least 1000 times!" Tong He nodded, "Our experiment was just a simple measurement, and there are no more abundant samples, so we can only draw this conclusion temporarily."

"You just told me specifically that the other characteristics of black crystal are almost the same as those of single crystal silicon, except for this semi-superconducting characteristic, so do you want to tell me that black crystal can replace single crystal silicon and become a better chip manufacturing materials?" Huang He asked rhetorically.

"Not bad!" Ni Guangnan said, "The main reason why monocrystalline silicon can be used as a chip manufacturing material is because it is very stable when used to make chips, and it is easy to process industrially. Excellent, but not the best choice."

"Heijing is completely different. Because its other properties are almost exactly the same as monocrystalline silicon, it can be directly processed on the current chip production line. It only needs to modify some materials, and even the equipment does not need to be replaced."

"But its conductivity is more than 1000 times that of single crystal silicon, so there will be the following huge improvements."

"First of all, the power consumption and heating power of the chip will be greatly reduced. Two chips with the same capacity made of different materials, when they are running at full speed, assume that the chip made of monocrystalline silicon needs to consume 100W of power, but the black crystal Yes, but only about 10W. With the adjustment of the process later, this figure can even be reduced to about 1W.”

"In this way, the energy consumption of the CPU will be reduced by more than ten times!"

"At the same time, the temperature of the monocrystalline silicon chip may have risen to about 70 degrees, but the black crystal chip can hardly feel any heat change when touched by hand, because it consumes only 10W of power."

"So with the black crystal chip, the personal computer can completely abandon the radiator."

"This is only the smallest aspect. Another aspect is that the calculation speed can be greatly increased. The diodes made on the surface of black gold can run at an astonishing 126GHZ after wind power operation, which is also the same as the current silicon-based chips. More than 100 times!"

"Besides that……"

"Wait... I'm not very smart, and I don't understand your professional terms!" Huang He prepared Ni Guangnan's speech and said, "Teacher, just tell me that if black crystals are used to make chips, the overall performance will How much improvement will it have?" Huang He asked very simply.

"In the case of completely equal technology in chip design and manufacturing, packaging technology, etc., the black crystal chip's computing power, power, and other aspects of its capabilities are almost 100 times better than silicon-based chips! "

"To put it bluntly, when the black crystal chip comes out, all silicon-based chips will be swept into the garbage dump of history. It's like a warrior with a submachine gun is dealing with a group of medieval warriors with swords and halberds! "Ni Guangnan said proudly.

"Hey, although the teacher told us in class, the future is on the chip. With the development of technology, carbon-based chips will replace silicon-based chips sooner or later, and the entire computer industry will usher in a new development. , but such a development may take 50 or even 100 years to be seen."

"Unexpectedly, less than a year has passed, and the material of the carbon-based chip was born in my hands!" Tong He spoke in a dazed expression, but the special Versailles made Huang He want to kick over.

However, Huang He couldn't bear to kick Tong He. This Tong He is definitely a rare treasure. I have to coax him well... Although the black crystal this guy made is a synthetic material of graphene, the black crystal itself, Then you can get another Nobel Prize... oh, no, it's the Yellow Crane Prize.

Tong He is now the winner of the Double Yellow Crane Award.

[PS: The paragraph about the nature of the black crystal is all made up by the author. It has nothing to do with the laws of physics in reality. If you know the situation, you can popularize it here. I will modify the nature of the black crystal when I see it. Sure, thank you all! 】

"The quality alone is useless, the key lies in mass production!" Boss Huang calmed himself down, and then said, "Just the production of black crystals the size of fingernails cost me 3 million, plus 000 employees. Seriously injured, if this thing is to be mass-produced, I'm afraid it will consume a lot of energy!" Huang He said.

"That's true!" Ni Guangnan nodded and said, "Currently we can only generate black crystals in the laboratory, a brand new set of equipment that can withstand 15000 units of atmospheric pressure, otherwise even the laboratory will not be stable."

"And if you want to industrialize the production of black crystals to meet the needs of chips, you must solve two difficulties. One is the mass production of graphene, and the other is mainly industrialized equipment that can withstand 15 atmospheres. These are two extremely difficult points, but if it is completed, Soi Jing's cost will not be too high."

"Because the rare earth elements used in the production of black crystal emitters are only various elements, and the rest are common elements, the material cost per kilogram of black crystal is actually only 100 yuan. The key depends on the cost of the production process. But according to According to my estimation, as long as mass production technology can be formed, the actual production cost per kilogram of black crystal can be reduced to less than 1 yuan, and at least 1000 chips can be produced per kilogram of black crystal, although it is still more expensive than the cost of wafers , but the cost itself is within an acceptable range.”

"What production cost is only 1 yuan?" Huang He rolled his eyes, "Everyone remember, the production cost of our black crystal is as high as 100 million US dollars per kilogram, do you understand?"

"Yes...understood..." Everyone laughed.
