The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

"Director Li!"

The security guards trembled in fright and immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Report, it's not that we don't want to do it, it's just... we just can't quite understand it."

The tall security guard in the lead stiffened his neck, his tone tinged with grievance.

"If Ji Bai were doing scientific research and tackling key problems every day, we brothers would go through fire and water without hesitation. But the way he's doing every day... we really can't understand it!"

The others nodded in agreement, looking frustrated.

Secretary Li glanced at them: "Can't understand? Since when has the world of geniuses needed to be understood by ordinary people?"

"Who knows, while watching those suggestive videos, Ji Bai might be mentally contemplating some world-class problem?"

Upon hearing this, several people couldn't hold back and their shoulders visibly trembled.

"Director Li, what you're saying... you can connect watching borderline videos to a global problem? If we could figure that out, we'd all be academicians by now, scrolling through Douyin all day!"

The group chuckled softly.

Secretary Li glared at the person who spoke: "Regardless of the circumstances, Ji Bai's room-temperature superconductivity alone makes him worthy of our efforts!"

Upon hearing the words "room temperature superconductivity," the security guards' expressions immediately turned serious.

Before they arrived, their respective superiors had given them special mobilization and education.

The meaning of room-temperature superconductivity has been explained to the public countless times.

Energy revolution.

National defense and security.

A new era in human technology.

To put it bluntly, based on this alone, even if this boy just lies on the sofa all day doing nothing, he should still be treated like a national treasure!

"Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Alright, everyone disperse. If I hear anyone gossiping behind my back again, they're fired!"

"yes!"

The group quickly dispersed and returned to their respective positions.

Secretary Li stood still, looked up at the direction of Ji Baixiaolou, and let out a long sigh.

Actually, he wasn't entirely unable to understand the security guards' ideas.

Because sometimes, even he himself couldn't understand Ji Bai.

You could even say he never understood it.

This boy never plays by the rules.

You think he's playing around, but then he suddenly pulls out a room-temperature superconductor.

You think he's conducting an experiment, but he's actually cooking noodles for a woman.

You thought he had behaved himself, but he turned around and ransacked the homes of established global conglomerates.

A teenager is like a bottomless pool of water.

You never know what's hidden underneath.

He looks like a couch potato sprawled on the sofa now, but who knows what big thing he's brewing up next!

"Hopefully, this time, we won't cause another major disaster."

Secretary Li muttered something under his breath and turned to arrange today's routine security tasks.

At this moment, Ji Bai, sitting on the sofa, had no idea that Secretary Li had just given him a lesson in ideology and politics.

Because his mind was already immersed in the virtual experimental space.

In the boundless, chaotic space, Ji Bai stood in front of a giant machine.

This is a 3-nanometer lithography machine that was "handcrafted" bit by bit using a virtual space processing machine!

I have to say, the virtual experimental space is really amazing.

As long as you give me enough shock value and know the general technical approach, I can make anything for you.

Ji Bai couldn't help but sigh, "Let's put it this way, even if the system suddenly dies tomorrow, this virtual experimental space alone is enough for me to crush the entire world."

system:"……"

"Haha, just kidding."

Ji Bai chuckled, then winced, "But this space is really expensive! 100,000 Shock Points per hour, and that's just the base price!"

He opened the panel and glanced at his shock value balance.

Fortunately.

The previous live streams, plus the money he's accumulated over this period, are enough for him to keep going for a while.

But it won't last long.

This strengthened Ji Bai's belief in reaping the shock value.

Moreover, he had already figured out how to present this lithography machine in a shocking and explosive way!

"However, it still needs further improvement."

Ji Bai stroked his chin, staring at the 3-nanometer lithography machine in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed.

Here's a little-known fact.

The so-called 3-nanometer lithography machine, and the so-called 3-nanometer wafers it produces, do not mean that the process actually reaches 3 nanometers.

3 nanometers is just a code name.

That's right.

The so-called 3nm, 5nm, and 7nm technologies on the market are just marketing codes!

As for the actual transistor gate width, it remains at around ten nanometers, or even twenty nanometers.

Back then, Intel relentlessly pursued the 10-nanometer process, but after five years of effort, they still hadn't succeeded.

Turning around, I discovered that a small company that had only been established for a few years had directly released a "7-nanometer" chip.

Intel was quite alarmed at the time and bought the parts to disassemble overnight.

It turned out that the chip was actually named 7 nanometers, but the actual transistor size was 22 nanometers, and the process was not as good as Intel's 14 nanometer chip.

To put it bluntly, those so-called 3-nanometer and 5-nanometer products on the market are just like the "zero additives" label on soy sauce bottles—take them with a grain of salt.

The same applies to this 3-nanometer lithography machine.

While it's claimed to be 3 nanometers, the actual achievable process precision is only 14 nanometers.

Even at just 14 nanometers, it represents the pinnacle of human engineering technology to date.

However, Ji Bai expressed his dissatisfaction.

"If you're going to do this, do something real."

Ji Bai narrowed his eyes, and with a thought, summoned the industrial machine.

He plans to further upgrade this lithography machine, which is actually 14 nanometers in size.

Target: 10 nanometers!

As for 7 nanometers and below...

In theory, the transistor size of silicon-based wafers cannot be made smaller than 7 nanometers because of the quantum tunneling effect.

By then, electrons won't use the channels you designed; they'll simply "pass through the walls."

The chip then loses its logic function.

unless……

Change the track.

For example, carbon-based wafers.

But that's another story.

Right now, the priority is to upgrade this lithography machine to the limit of silicon-based wafers.

Ji Bai rolled up his sleeves and aimed the scanning probe of the industrial machine at the light source system of the lithography machine.

"start!"

In an instant, blue light surged through the virtual space.

Ji Bai hovered in mid-air, the industrial machine slowly unfolding behind him, like a steel behemoth awakening from the deep sea.

He raised his hand, and billions of data points poured down from his fingertips like a galaxy, dissecting every inch of the lithography machine's structure and every process into flowing light.

"Light source reconstruction!"

"Objective lens recast!"

"Rewrite the workpiece stage!"

Every time the boy uttered a sentence, the space trembled once.

Countless parts decompose, recombine, and sublimate in the void, as if the Creator is redefining the limits of "precision".

……

Just as Ji Bai was upgrading the lithography machine, a major event occurred globally!
