Building a Sci-Fi Empire: Starting with Cold Nuclear Fusion

What?

One hundred and five micrometers!?

Upon learning the voltage test results, everyone's expressions turned to astonishment at a visible speed.

President Xu suddenly looked at Chen Yuan.

The chairman looked surprised and uncertain.

Vice President Zhen, Huang Yu, and the company's senior executives, including the vice chairman, were all extremely astonished.

These people did not react the most strongly.

The most vocal critics were technicians such as Zhao Peng, Zhang Shulin, Lao Qin, and Ding Yang.

Every single one of them stared at Chen Yuan with the same astonishment one would show an alien.

Why is everyone so surprised?

Because this is just too incredible!

Just as some people had thought, E. coli is about two micrometers in diameter, and five micrometers is equivalent to the diameter of two and a half E. coli. Chen Yuan was able to judge this subtle difference with the naked eye, which means that he can see bacteria with his naked eye.

This……

How is that possible!

Do you really have Sun Wukong's fiery eyes?

The dozens of people present were all stunned, staring in astonishment, even forgetting to get to their business.

Chen Yuan just wanted to finish his work here quickly and leave, completely ignoring everyone's expressions. After the voltage test results came out, he disregarded whether he was overstepping his bounds and directly issued orders: "The measurement data is out. I'm sure you understand what caused the voltage to be lower than expected. Find someone to replace the diamond wafer. Also, notify our semiconductor partners to ensure that the diamond wafers supplied in the future are according to my standards, rather than the error values ​​that the market usually allows."

"Huh? Oh." General Manager Xu woke up with a start and looked at Zhao Peng, saying, "Old Zhao, do as Engineer Chen says."

Zhao Peng seemed to snap out of a daze and replied a beat late, "Okay, I'll talk to the purchasing department later."

Once the three of them started talking, the others snapped out of their daze and began whispering among themselves.

"this……"

"How did he do that?"

"How is that possible! It's only five micrometers; how could he possibly see that with the naked eye?"

"Could he have made that judgment based on the test data?"

"No, it's unlikely. Although data can reflect some issues, it's impossible for someone to accurately say that it's five micrometers thicker. I think he's more likely like the so-called level eight fitter who claims to be the limit of human capability, who can actually tell just by looking at it."

"Impossible, right? Even an eighth-level fitter couldn't possibly have eyesight beyond human limits to observe a difference of five micrometers."

When Ding Yang, Guo Ning, and the other members of the project team discussed it, their tone was still filled with disbelief.

To be honest, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really wouldn't have believed that what they just witnessed was real.

No matter how much I disbelieve it, what just happened was undeniable and left me no choice but to believe it!

It is precisely because of their personal experience that everyone is so horrified.

They were puzzled; how exactly did Chen Yuan manage to do that?

Could it be that the other person is a superhuman with an eye structure different from ordinary people?

The thought flashed through everyone's minds.

Then, they thought of another more likely answer: Chen Yuan is not a superman, but he may have some kind of talent, like an eighth-level fitter, who can identify material problems by observing with the naked eye and making keen judgments.

What does an eighth-grade fitter mean?

Legend has it that an eighth-level fitter's eyes are like vernier calipers, capable of accurately judging deviations in size and shape, while his hands are like CNC machine tools, able to precisely control force and direction during processing to achieve high-precision machining operations.

There are even exaggerated claims that they can conjure up a rideable electric car out of thin air from a pile of scrap metal and a battery.

While this may contain some artistic exaggeration, it also reflects the strong creativity and hands-on skills of an eighth-level fitter, who is able to create complex items by hand using limited materials and tools.

They hadn't yet witnessed Chen Yuan's practical skills, but his ability to judge errors was truly eye-opening.

If an eighth-grade fitter's eyes are like calipers, then everyone in the project team present could only say that Chen Yuan's eyes are like laser length measuring instruments—that's an exaggeration!

They knew that Chen Yuan alone was enough to make him a target of fierce competition among various companies, not to mention that his research and development capabilities were obvious to all.

This is a true genius!

An absolutely incredible genius!

Impressed.

At this moment, Lao Qin, Zhu Yun, and the other project team members who had worked closely with Chen Yuan were filled with admiration.

Not only were the project team members taken aback, but Zhang Shulin, a well-informed nuclear energy expert, was also astonished, as if he were dreaming.

He hesitated and asked, "Xiao Chen, did you really determine the diamond slice was five micrometers thick just by looking at it?"

Upon hearing this, President Xu, Zhao Peng, the Chairman, Huang Yu, and everyone else all looked towards Chen Yuan, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Even though Vice President Zhen was very unhappy because Chen Yuan had suffered, he was also bursting with curiosity and just wanted to know if that was true.

Chen Yuan realized he might have overreacted and quickly covered it up, saying, "My eyesight is good, probably not much worse than the level eight fitter everyone was talking about, but it's almost impossible to see a five-micrometer difference just by looking at it."

Zhao Peng asked, puzzled, "Then how did you tell the difference?"

Chen Yuan gave a vague answer: "It's very simple. If you have a thorough understanding of the technology and a mastery of the materials, you can naturally analyze the problems just by looking at the data. This combines observation, technology, and experience, and it can't be explained in just a few words."

observe?

technology?

experience?

Zhao Peng, Zhang Shulin, Lao Qin, and other technicians fell into deep thought, as if they had understood something.

Mr. Xu and the chairman involuntarily exchanged a glance.

They finally realized just how skilled this young man was, not only was he adept at developing more advanced technological products, but he also possessed invaluable experience beyond his years.

You can't find many of these top-notch technical experts anywhere in China!

The more President Xu and the Chairman realized how capable Chen Yuan was, the more they regretted not stopping Vice President Zhen earlier, and naturally they hated that bastard even more.

After a brief chat, the project team got busy.

They had to replace the diamond sheet and complete the second test and verification before the pharmacy staff arrived in the afternoon, and ensure that there were no further problems.

The project team got busy, while Chen Yuan, Zhang Shulin, and the senior executives of Xinghe Company were idle.

President Xu, the Chairman, Huang Yu, Vice President Zhen, Zhao Peng, and others remained mostly silent, each harboring their own thoughts.

Needless to say, the first thought was that although Chen Yuan pointed out the problem with the nuclear battery, it had not yet been tested, and no one knew whether it was correct.

The second thought was that President Xu and the chairman and other senior executives were thinking about how to make up for their previous mistakes and retain Chen Yuan, this technical expert.

Of course, there was one person whose ideas differed from everyone else's.

This person was none other than Vice President Zhen. He already knew that he was going to suffer a terrible fate and be expelled from the center of power, so he was filled with malice and hoped that the test would still go wrong.

For example, if the voltage is lower than expected, it is not because of the diamond sheet, but for other unknown reasons.

This is possible, after all, the allowable error value for diamond semiconductor wafers on the market is ±5 micrometers.

Chen Yuan is only saying that the fact that this thing is five micrometers thicker causes the voltage to be lower, which may not necessarily be correct.

Time passed gradually as everyone's thoughts diverged.

About twenty minutes later, the first test results came out.

Because the voltage was lower than expected before, the first test this time was the voltage.

Upon learning the voltage test results, everyone looked on with great tension.

The chairman asked, "Xiao Ding, how's it going?"

Vice President Zhen immediately perked up his ears.

Mr. Xu, Zhao Peng, and the others all listened attentively with serious expressions.

Ding Yang exclaimed excitedly, "That's right! This time it's correct! After replacing the diamond sheet, the voltage test result is indeed exactly 3 volts!!"
