Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 114 Spiral Propulsion Plan

"Oh, it's just that I haven't contacted you before, you can't do this!"

Liu Yuzhu was with Zhong Cheng every day and knew Zhong Cheng too well.

"Why not?"

"Boss, you see that Lieutenant Colonel Ye is very good. You are not together or in contact. You may be snatched away one day!"

"This!"

In Zhong Cheng's mind, he thought of a young doctor named Long Xingfeng who was in the same unit as Ye Wenxin, and maybe there were other doctors, and he felt a sense of crisis.

After this trip to the capital, with the help of director Qian, he already had an "idea" for Ye Wenxin.

"Then what should I do? I don't know what to say on the phone?"

"If you don't know what to say, just send a text message. By the way, if you want to ask something, keep in touch first, then slowly increase the temperature, step by step, and finally succeed in one fell swoop. Women are afraid of men!"

"What did you say?"

Zhong Cheng suddenly felt something in his mind, but he didn't know it for a while.

"Oh, you don't even think about it, let me send you a text message!"

Liu Yuzhu snatched Zhong Cheng's mobile phone, took Zhong Cheng's hand to unlock the phone, then found Ye Wenxin's phone number, and started sending text messages to Ye Wenxin.

Zhong Cheng frowned, and let Liu Yuzhu do everything he could. He tried hard to figure out what Liu Yuzhu's words had just flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, Liu Yuzhu shoved the phone back into Zhong Cheng's hand, "What are you and Marven Ye doing, you can see for yourself!"

"Ok?"

Zhong Cheng picked up his phone and saw that Liu Yuzhu had just sent a text message: "Lieutenant Colonel Ye, how are you doing recently? Are you busy with work?"

As a result, I received Ye Wenxin's reply:

"Who are you, why are you holding Zhong Cheng's cell phone?"

Zhong Cheng understood that the word "Colonel Ye" had been misunderstood.

"I've never sent a text message with her. If you send one out of the blue, she must be suspicious. Let me explain. Don't worry about it."

Zhong Cheng was perfunctory, ignored Liu Yuzhu's cheating eyes, and started typing on his mobile phone.

"Wen Xin, it's me. It was Liu Yuzhu who was joking with my phone just now. Don't mind me."

"Zhong Cheng, don't let others use your mobile phone to contact me in the future."

"Okay, never again."

Zhong Cheng thought for a while, but continued to type and send a text message: "How are you recently?"

"I'm fine!" Ye Wenxin replied.

After a long silence, another text message came from the phone: "Are you okay too?"

"I'm fine!"

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

The first text message contact with Ye Wenxin was over, and Zhong Cheng cheered up. It's not that difficult. In the next few days, he will send a text message to say hello, step by step, isn't he getting acquainted slowly?

Thinking of this, the inspiration appeared in his mind again, and this time it was caught by Zhong Cheng.

"Step by step", these four words can be used in dating, and can also be used in dealing with current research and development problems!
There is a door!
Zhong Cheng stood up in ecstasy, ignoring Liu Yuzhu's stunned expression, and shouted loudly: "Zhuzi, you have done a good job, now we will go back to the R&D office for a meeting."

Zhong Cheng returned to the ninth basement floor of "Tianwaitian" and urgently held a plenary meeting of the project team.

He said his thoughts again and got the approval of all the staff.

Everyone quickly formulated a plan for gradual spiral advancement.

Specifically, first use the laser generator used on the current Jingwei UAV to make an initial lithography machine, use this initial lithography machine to make a rough metal tubular mold, and then use this rough The mold produced soil nanotubes with poor properties.

Use this poor performance soil nanotubes to make photonic transistors and optical chips with poor performance, and then use the photonic transistors and optical chips with poor performance to make new lasers with poor performance.

Then use a new type of laser with poor performance to produce a second-generation lithography machine with improved performance.

Then it is to repeat the above process over and over again until the carbon nanotubes, photonic transistors, optical chips, and new lasers all meet the technical requirements.

By that time, photonic computers will be within reach.

This will be a research and development process that will truly test teamwork, innovation, and even perseverance. It will take a little luck to succeed.

Although it is also an uphill battle, at least there is hope for a short-term solution.

The first step is to make the initial photolithography machine.

The lithography machine mentioned here is different from the lithography machine used in the chip manufacturing industry. Compared with the latter one-shot molding, the former uses high-energy laser beams for nano-level "engraving" using the principle of exposure lithography.

The former can replace the latter, but the efficiency is too low, but the latter cannot replace the former.

Laser lithography machines are more suitable for niche areas in chip manufacturing, such as experimental environments. Since chip design schemes often need to be changed, and laser lithography machines do not require masks, they are very suitable for use in chip research and development environments.

As an image metaphor, the laser lithography machine is equivalent to the Nuwa industrial master machine, and the general lithography machine is more similar to the Shenshi series special machine tools.

The laser generator used on the Jingwei drone is currently the most advanced carbon dioxide gas laser, with an electro-optical conversion efficiency of 20%.

(PS: The electro-optical conversion efficiency is the efficiency of converting the input power of the laser into laser. For example, if a carbon dioxide gas laser emits 1 kilowatt of laser light, 4 kilowatts of electric energy will be turned into waste heat and line loss, which will be wasted.)
Of course, there are also solid-state lasers with higher electro-optic conversion efficiency. The electro-optic conversion efficiency is between 30% and 80%, but they are not suitable for military laser cannons.

Zhong Cheng's idea is that the laser generator used on the Jingwei UAV is ready-made, and its power and accuracy are not bad, and the improvement of this laser generator will greatly improve the performance of the laser cannon, killing two birds with one stone. .

With the laser generator, the clock of the mechanical transmission part of the laser lithography machine can be solved, and it can be completed by using the Nuwa No. [-] of the R&D Institute, and the accuracy guarantee is still above the technical requirements.

But a key equipment is also needed: measuring instruments. For the processing of workpieces of a few nanometers, conventional measuring methods are also ineffective. It is best to have scanning tunneling microscopes, transmission electron microscopes, and atomic force microscopes.

Among them, the scanning tunneling microscope can use the tip of the probe to precisely manipulate atoms at low temperature, so it is not only an important measurement tool but also a processing tool in nanotechnology, and it is an indispensable equipment for the completion of laser lithography.

This kind of equipment can be bought for hundreds of thousands of low-end equipment, but what Zhong Cheng and the others want to use is at least 500 million scientific research level, and the research and development institute does not have it.

It was Zhou Hu who went out for a trip and learned that there is a photoelectric equipment manufacturing company in Beishan City that has such equipment. The company's name is Hongguang Optoelectronics.

Hongguang Optoelectronics is a large-scale military enterprise that manufactures laser generators and various optical components.

As long as it is a military enterprise in Beishan, it will be easy to handle. Three days later, a high-end scanning tunneling microscope was carefully placed next to Nuwa No. [-] on the seventh floor of "Tianwaitian".

Work on building initial laser lithography machine started!
