Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 858 The Fifth Great Invention

The sound of brisk footsteps echoed on the fifth floor of the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Building. Chen Chunxian couldn't restrain his emotions. If there was a melody in the air, he would dance gracefully.

Under his influence, Li Jiankun also had the urge to hum a tune.

Kaka!

The special solid wood door was pushed open, and Chen Chunxian led Li Jiankun into a secret place within a secret.

At present, except for the staff who have signed a confidentiality agreement on this floor that is not open to the public, no one knows that there is a world number one quietly "lying" here.

"Look!"

Chen Chunxian raised his hand excitedly: "Fourth generation lithography machine!"

In the middle of the pure white room, there is a large machine, which is nearly twice the size of the third-generation lithography machine produced by China Silicon Valley Company a year ago. It looks like a small house.

The third generation lithography machine is called "scanning projection lithography machine".

Although the fourth generation only has two more words "progress" - progressive scanning projection lithography machine, it is the most representative lithography machine product.

In its previous life, it ruled this realm for nearly thirty years.

Until the advent of the fifth-generation EUV lithography machine.

Prior to this, no matter how the lithography machine technology developed, it was constantly improving on the basis of the fourth generation.

"Cattle!"

Li Jiankun handed Lao Chen a thumbs up. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and had always paid attention to the development progress of the lithography machine at China Silicon Valley Company. Otherwise, he would have jumped at Lao Gao when he suddenly learned the news.

Ames was the fourth-generation lithography machine launched in the 1980s. Li Jiankun did not have precise information in his mind. One thing is certain:

No news yet.

Well, Lao Chen said that this is the world's first fourth-generation lithography machine, and there is basically nothing wrong with it.

“Before China Silicon Valley Company started the lithography machine project, my country’s lithography machine level was about five years away from leading the world.”

Old Chen put his hands on his hips and said:
“Last year, we manufactured a third-generation lithography machine. In terms of technology level, it is already on par with the world’s leaders, but it is just a little bit behind at the top.

"I said, give me another year and I will definitely catch up with them."

"No." Li Jiankun said, "You surpassed them."

Lao Chen raised the corner of his mouth: "It's actually not that difficult to throw them two miles away."

This forces him to pretend, so he can only pretend...

However, Li Jiankun knew that in the past year, Lao Chen had gone home to spend the night no more than ten times.

You know, his home is only a few steps away. After he resigned from the Academy of Sciences, he bought a house in Zhongguancun.

However, he really didn't seem to feel hard or tired. He was fully devoted and enjoyed it.

Li Jiankun has long commented that Lao Chen is a rare scientific research genius, but he is not suitable to be an entrepreneur. The laboratory is his field and territory, his paradise.

"How far has the minimum process been advanced?"

"80nm."

This photolithography machine has exceeded the limit that Li Jiankun, a keyboard warrior, can understand. He can only judge through the knowledge of the keyboard warrior. If it reaches this minimum process, then it is indeed the fourth generation of Taichung Erbajing. Engraving machine.

The minimum process limit of the third-generation lithography machine is 130nm.

Without revolutionary innovation in technology, there will be no breakthrough.

"Although I led my team to build this machine, I dare not say that I created it. Jiankun, the first credit must be awarded to you."

Chen Chunxian's expression was quite complicated.

In scientific research, many key developments come from a sudden flash of inspiration, like Newton realizing the force of gravity after being hit by an apple.

On the contrary, without this sudden inspiration, a small problem may trap a scientist for a lifetime.

When they were developing the fourth-generation lithography machine, they were at a loss as to how to break through the constraints of the third-generation lithography machine. Jiankun reminded them: try using the 193nm ArF laser light source.

Chen Chunxian was extremely surprised at the time. He didn't expect that Jiankun even knew how to use lasers.

Anyway, they had no clue. With the mentality of giving it a try, they listened to the suggestion and used the 193nm ArF laser light source.

guess what?

feasible!

Only God knows how shocked all the researchers in the laboratory, including him, were at that time.

What Jiankun gave them was not a sudden flash of inspiration, but perhaps the only standard answer.

It's not like Chen Chunxian didn't ask him how he thought of it.

This kid said he was confused...

I believe you! Anyway, Chen Chunxian found that he could not see through Jiankun more and more. This man could not be measured in words at all——

Not human-like.

Frankly speaking, Chen Chunxian had suspected that he might be an alien...

"No, no, no, no, no." Li Jiankun was afraid that he would ask questions again, so he quickly changed the topic and walked around the fourth-generation lithography machine to understand.

For a long time, the two stood together again.

Chen Chunxian asked: "Do you want to make it public now?"

He had some scruples.

As a company, as an individual, and as a team, he certainly wants to be public, and that would be an unparalleled honor.

But he is also worried that after the disclosure, it will arouse jealousy and dissatisfaction in some countries, which will produce a series of chain reactions, such as the implementation of more stringent technology embargoes in related industries involving photolithography machines——

Jiankun is engaged in the entire chip industry chain in the special zone, which is closely related to him.

"Do you think they won't mess with us if we don't provoke them? Some Xiao Xiaoxiao will never die if they want to destroy China."

Li Jiankun raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

"Only the strong have dignity and rights."

"public!"

Chen Chunxian grinned and said, "I like your boy's fearless energy."

One day later, a document titled "Our company has manufactured a fourth-generation lithography machine, and its technical level has reached the first place in the world" was submitted to the Association for Science and Technology.

……

……

The Zhongguancun Science and Technology Building is decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

On the main door of the first floor, a large banner was pulled up with a large letter -

[Warmly welcome the Association for Science and Technology and superior leaders to visit and provide guidance].

At around 212 a.m., a convoy of six vehicles, including Jeep , Santana and Hongqi, stopped outside the building.

Li Jiankun and Chen Chunxian, the two founders of China Silicon Valley Company, came to the door to greet them.

The leaders were more enthusiastic than the two of them and praised and praised them constantly.

When we arrived on the fifth floor, after seeing the actual fourth-generation lithography machine, Director Zhou, the leader of the Association for Science and Technology, said "ok" three times in a row. Being No. 1 in the world is easier said than done?
Even a gold medal in sports is of great significance, let alone in the high-tech field?

Everyone at the scene was very proud and honored.

"We must give high praise to the scientific researchers involved in research and development!"

"We need to publicize it well so that people across the country know that we have achieved such brilliant results in such cutting-edge technology."

"I think we need to let the whole world know!"

"Yes, this is another important achievement of our great national rejuvenation, and it should be seen by the world."

"How about this? We, the Association for Science and Technology, will take the lead and hold a science and technology exchange event and invite colleagues from all over the world to participate. They were not willing to come after inviting them before, but this time, eh, are you afraid they won't run fast?"

The leaders admired the machine and communicated happily.

"I think it will work." Director Zhou said, "Lao Wang's suggestion is very good. To be fair, our scientific and technological community has always had a low status in the international community. If we have the opportunity, we should show our strength and influence."

He paused, then continued thinking:

"This time we have two world-class breakthroughs coming together. They will definitely rush to contact us and visit us."

Li Jiankun caught the key words and asked in surprise: "Two world-class breakthroughs?"

Forgive him for being blind, but I really don’t know if we have any other scientific research achievements worthy of being called this in the near future.

"Manager Li has a lot of people. Didn't you hear that the fifth greatest invention was born in our country?" someone explained.

Hey!
Li Jiankun was shocked.

To put it this way, it would not be a big deal if the lithography machine were ranked number one in the world.

Chen Chunxian next to him also looked confused.

"What's the fifth great invention?" Li Jiankun asked with wide eyes.

"Water turns into oil. A genius scientist from Northeast China can turn clean water into gasoline. Isn't this an invention that can change the world?"

Li Jiankun: "..."

This scourge has finally come.

Chen Chunxian was shocked: "Turning water into oil?"

If this is true, the world structure will change.

There are countless wars over energy in human history.

"No...Old Chen, everyone." Li Jiankun stared and asked, "Do you also believe this? Anyone who has studied junior high school chemistry knows that this is not logical at all."

Water only contains hydrogen and oxygen elements.

Fuel can burn because it contains an essential element - carbon.

According to the law of conservation of mass, the types of elements remain unchanged before and after the chemical reaction. How can fuel be produced using only clean water as the material?
"What Manager Li doesn't know is that it's not all pure water. The genius scientist invented a 'water-based fuel'. Just drop a few drops of this fuel into a bottle of pure water, and it will be converted into fuel and burned." All."

"Manager Li, I'm not afraid you won't believe it. I've seen it with my own eyes."

"Although I haven't had the opportunity to see it with my own eyes, I have heard many friends talk about it, and it is true."

"I think Director Zhou's arrangements are very good. Once this scientific event is held, with these two world-class breakthroughs, not to mention the scientific and technological community, the whole world will be shocked. We need such recognition and attention."

...

They chatted and decided on the matter.

Hold a scientific event and invite technology giants from all over the world to participate.

Li Jiankun broke out in a cold sweat.

If you really do this, I'm afraid you'll be thrown into grandma's house if you're embarrassed.

Their fourth-generation lithography machines have to play tricks like water turning into oil...

He wanted to stop it, but the words were slight. The people who came today should politely call him "Manager Li", otherwise, he is just a little Li...

After seeing off all the leaders, Li Jiankun grabbed Chen Chunxian at the gate and said, "Old Chen, you must not do this!"

"What happened to you? Isn't it a good thing?" Chen Chunxian wondered.

"Old Chen, think about it with your head, how can water turn into oil?"

"You do not believe."

"I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!"

"But, they are all set."

Li Jiankun: "..."

He wanted to encourage Old Chen to make a fuss and put an end to the matter. If Old Chen felt powerless, then...

'We have to find a way to expose the water-to-oil scam before the scientific event. Li Jiankun thought that he could only solve the problem in a roundabout way.

Otherwise we will become the laughing stock of the whole world.

……

……

At night, after dinner, he saw his old mother holding a bag of something and preparing to brew it with hot water. Li Jiankun walked up and asked:

"Mom, are you sick?"

"No. Isn't that the filial son of Shanhe? He asked someone to bring some popular tonics and asked me to drink them on time every day. He also said that he would need to be checked next time he comes. This child..."

Madam Yuying laughed and scolded.

Li Jiankun curiously took the small medicine bag and looked at it. It didn't matter, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Mom, how long have you been eating?"

"Not long, a few days."

Not bad, not bad... Li Jiankun crushed the stuff that said "Yiganling Granules" on the paper package into a ball and threw it into the trash can next to the wall.

"Eh? Why did you throw this child away?"

"Mom, there's something wrong with this medicine..."

This medicine is produced in a place called Chendai Village in Hu Jian. It was the first village in the province with a GDP of over 100 million and was once the pride of the locals.

It is probably also the first place in our country to produce fake supplements.

Unscrupulous local merchants use low-quality white fungus and white sugar to prepare so-called "hypertension granules" and "Yiganling granules", which are produced in small workshops with crude manufacturing tools and extremely poor sanitary conditions.

It would be exposed later, triggering huge public opinion. For a long time, local people did not dare to identify themselves when they went out to do business.

The reason why Li Jiankun was so impressed is that Chendai Village is not a simple village. In the future, almost everyone in our country will be related to them, at least through the local products.

Such as Anta, Xtep, Guirenniao, 361 degrees...

It can be seen from this incident that people's desire for materials and wealth after reform, and once this desire is deformed, it will cause the decline of business and morality.

This is what Yiganling granules are like.

The same goes for water turning into oil.
