From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

It’s called [Request of Objects], which can scan and analyze all the things in this world, so as to obtain various information such as the production process of the scanned things, and the scanned things are limited to 100 cubic meters, and an EUV laser The engraving machine is basically within 100 cubic meters.

Therefore, if there is an EUV lithography machine in front of him now, he can directly scan the EUV lithography machine to obtain all its production processes.

Although we still don't know the actual effect of [Claim Object], but I believe that as long as it is scanned at that time, it will definitely have a certain effect.

When he returns to China later, he will definitely contribute to domestic lithography machines.

The importance of lithography machines is beyond doubt.

Chips, as the crystallization of human wisdom, are of great significance to modern human society. Except for works of art, everything in modern times is inseparable from chips. Even Lego toys with stacked blocks may contain chips. Tools, even mobile phone batteries, require the cooperation of various chips such as charging chips and power management chips.

Going further, supercomputers have a higher demand for chips.

Huaguo's supercomputer is awesome, but that's because the engineers tried their best to optimize the architecture. Sunway TaihuLight's domestic chip Shenwei 26010 many-core processor has a 28nm process. 40960 were installed.

而2020年排名第一的超级计算机是美国的顶点超级计算机，其主要由9216个14nm制程的CPU和27648个12nm制程的图像处理器，而其最高200PFLOPS的浮点运算速度，比起神威太湖之光的125PFLOPS直接高出了60.00%。

The total number of processors in the former is ten percent less than that in the latter.

This is the advantage of the process.

This is not to mention the application in the military.

Although the media claims that the chips used in weapons are not the lower the manufacturing process, the better, but there must be places where more sophisticated chips can be used.

With the development of science and technology, even if the low-process chips are not used in the military now, they will be used sooner or later in the future. This is a question of whether there is a sword or not.

Therefore, Lin Xiao believes that it is very necessary for him to make a contribution to the development of Huaguo lithography machines.

And since the Dawson Edinson in front of him came to his door, he accepted it with a smile.

Then, he said with a smile: "It's good if you don't worry, but I want to ask, how much is your price for hiring me?"

Hearing Lin Xiao talk about money, Dawson Edinson immediately laughed.

Talk about money?

That would be great to say.

Very easy to say.

People like him like to talk about money with others, especially people like Lin Xiao.

He really wanted to be a scientist when he was a child, but he didn't, which has become the current situation.

Of course, he didn't have the slightest regret in his heart. On the contrary, he thought it was very good.

After all, he is now in and out of all kinds of high-end places, and because his company is the only company that monopolizes all lithography machine manufacturers, he has enjoyed countless pursuits and flattery. At this time, he can even treat those Scientists are bossy, and they can do whatever they want.

Before he came to see Lin Xiao, he thought it would be difficult for Lin Xiao, a world-renowned top scientist, especially a native of Hua, to settle. He was even prepared to fail. After talking for a few words, start talking about money?

"Price is never a problem. You can even mention it casually. In my plan to meet you this time, there is no question about the price you need to hire."

Lin Xiao spread his hands: "It's not a problem? Then... 10 billion euros."

The smile on Dawson Edinson's face froze, and then he said, "Mr. Lin, you really know how to joke."

Lin Xiao frowned, and said: "Okay, I will give you a normal quotation. After the matter is resolved, I need 5000 million euros."

Hearing this quotation, Dawson Edinson breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Lin Xiao was serious in quoting 10 billion euros just now, which was equivalent to the price of one of their EUV lithography machines. trick him.

Of course, Lin Xiao's current quotation is too expensive, 5000 million euros, which is of course unacceptable, they just ask Lin Xiao to solve one.

So, the next wave of pulling began.

It was not until the end that Dawson Edinson offered 100 million euros in employment fees and 2000 million euros in final settlement fees that the two parties reached an agreement.

Of course, Lin Xiaoyue was seriously negotiating with him, which basically meant that Lin Xiao would also take care of their affairs in the future.

Therefore, Dawson Edinson is quite satisfied with the result this time.

As for Lin Xiao, he was even happier.

He didn't want to do anything for them at first, but he just wanted to take a look at the EUV lithography machine with this excuse. In the end, he didn't expect Dawson Edinson to offer 100 million yuan after talking about the price. The employment fee in euros came out. This fee, even if Lin Xiao did not solve the final problem in the end, still needs to be paid to him, and the money will be sent immediately after the two parties sign the agreement.

Originally, Lin Xiao never thought of cheating them like this. As for his serious bargaining, he originally wanted to win his trust, and then went to see the lithography machine smoothly.

But maybe it was because he was seriously negotiating the price that Dawson Edinson offered the terms of the employment fee, and then lowered Lin Xiao's original offer of 3000 million euros to the final 2000 million.

"However, Mr. Edinson, as I said before, if I can't solve it in the end, don't say that I have received money and don't do anything. After all, I have never done this kind of work before."

After the discussion, Lin Xiao gave another vaccination to prevent this guy from regretting it later.

Of course, he will definitely regret it in the end. Such a person will definitely regret spending 100 million euros and getting nothing, but Lin Xiao won't care.

Because the duration of this project is eighteen months, eighteen months is a relatively normal cycle for a subject that is biased towards mathematics, and some subjects have been completed for three or five years.

And after eighteen months, Lin Xiao must have returned to the country long ago. Could it be possible that Asmail would still be able to come to China to trouble him?

"Mr. Lin, please don't worry. Asmail is a big company, and we will not do things that small companies will do. Of course, Mr. Lin also needs to believe in himself. After all, if I remember correctly, you also joined CERN It didn't take long to come up with the important mathematical method of 'mathematical vaccine', right? So you don't have to worry, not to mention, you are known as the smartest person in the world today."

Dawson Addinson said with a smile.

Lin Xiao didn't say any more, "In this case, let's do this. After we sign the contract and the Solvay meeting is over, I will go to the Netherlands to take a look at your lithography machine first and understand what I want to solve. The problem."

"Asmail is looking forward to your arrival."

Dawson Addinson nodded, then stood up and extended his hand to Lin Xiao.

The two shook hands.

"Pleasant to work with."

Then Lin Xiao didn't stay any longer and went to find Xu Da again.

And Dawson Edinson looked at Lin Xiao's back as he walked away, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

the scientist?

"It's the world of capital now, oh no, it's always been."

……

"What did that man want from you?"

After finding Xu Da again, Xu Da asked.

"It's nothing more than cooperation."

Lin Xiao replied.

"Cooperation? Help them get a lithography machine?"

"Almost, solve the light source diffraction control."

Xu Da sighed: "You shouldn't agree."

Lin Xiao knew what Xu Da meant, probably in his opinion, he was helping a company that shouldn't be helping.

But only he knew why he agreed.

Since he got the [Request for Objects], he has been looking for the opportunity to see the EUV lithography machine with his own eyes.

But there are very few places in the world with EUV lithography machines.

Except for Taiwan Province, there is no place in Huaguo that has EUV lithography machines, but TSMC obviously will not take the initiative to invite him to visit. As for other Samsung and Intel, it is even more impossible to take the initiative to invite him.

Now Asmail came to him in person and went directly to visit the factory where the lithography machine was produced. Of course he would not give up. Maybe the lithography machine in his factory was even more advanced.

Of course, Lin Xiao didn't struggle with this issue.

What is done on the surface is not important, what is important is what is done in the end.

At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Lin, can I ask you to dance?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look, and saw Elizabeth standing beside him with a smile on her face.

Today's Elizabeth is wearing an evening dress, and her blond hair is obviously exquisitely modified, very graceful, and her appearance is very beautiful, and this outfit makes her the most beautiful star in the audience.

Xu Da next to him patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and smiled at him, "I won't bother you anymore."

Then he left here.

"I can not dance."

Lin Xiao spread his hands.

"You can dance even if you can't, I can teach you." Elizabeth said.

Lin Xiao touched his nose, "Then... okay."

He knew what Elizabeth was thinking. For nearly five months, Elizabeth had worked so hard to pick him up and send him off. A normal person could tell. Unfortunately, he didn't have this kind of pursuit now.

As for refusing directly, he was afraid of hurting others' hearts.

However, Paris is not many days away anyway, and Elizabeth will still have to stay at CERN, after all, she is a researcher here.

After a long time, there is no need to worry.

With Lin Xiao's consent, Elizabeth showed a happy smile, and then stretched out a hand. After Lin Xiao pulled it, the two entered the dance floor.

People continued to dance to the music on the dance floor.

……

Chapter 2: What is God’s, God’s, and Scientists’ are Scientists’

The celebration party continued until late at night.

The people who attended the party also enjoyed the joy of the banquet.

In particular, all the researchers who have responsibilities in the Lin Xiao project have been praised by others, and some of them have performed better, and have also been invited by other research institutions or universities, such as giving a lecture, Then share the whole process with them.

There are even some people who have been hired by some universities, hoping that they will go to the university to serve as teachers and professors. For some researchers, this can be regarded as their wish. After all, not everyone wants to stay in CERN forever.

All in all, basically these people have received certain benefits, which also made them express their gratitude to Lin Xiao in their hearts.

Without Lin Xiao, they certainly would not have received such treatment.

This can be regarded as a kind of network. After all, there are hundreds of people in the entire project team. Except for more than 100 first-class scholars, the rest are basically young people. Maybe some of them will be big figures in the particle physics field in the future. , it is not impossible for one or two Nobel Prize winners to emerge.

Of course, these future things can only be known by leaving them to the future.

After the party, Lin Xiao and the others sorted out the research process and conclusions, and then published them.

One in science, one in nature, one of W boson mass, one of black holes, each worthy of being published on the cover of these two journals.

Of course, these two journals did exactly that. The paper on the mass of the W boson had a cover of a pattern of W smashing all the particles in the old standard model, indicating that the determination of the mass of the W boson was based on the standard model. A break, though, and in one corner of the cover, there's a tiny formula that seems to be replacing the old Standard Model, and apparently, that formula is the New Standard Model.

For the physics community, the replacement of the new Standard Model is already an unchangeable fact.

As for the Nature journal of the artificial black hole paper, the cover is a huge ring representing a particle collider, and then there is a black hole in the middle. It is very simple. Of course, just a black hole is very attractive.

Of course, by the time this journal was published, it was already mid-December.

The Solvay meeting is very close.

……

Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris.

In Lin Xiao's dormitory.

To be honest, after living in the small villa at CERN for so long, Lin Xiao was not used to suddenly returning to this narrow dormitory, probably because it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. .

Of course, it's not a big problem, at least this dormitory is quieter.

At this time, he was preparing for the Solvay meeting.

After all, this is an important meeting, and it should be treated well, and he will introduce his multidimensional field theory to everyone at the meeting. As the pioneer of multidimensional field theory, he must introduce his own new viewpoints.

Of course, these problems are not big. After all, it is only a few months now. There are still relatively few physicists in the world who can understand multidimensional field theory, so no matter what "new ideas" he has, basically A truly new perspective.

Suddenly, his phone rang, and he glanced at the caller. Lin Xiao frowned. It was from Time Magazine.

People from "Time Magazine" contacted him before, saying that they hoped to interview him, and Lin Xiao naturally would not refuse, no matter what, it was an honor for him.

After being abroad for so long, he naturally needs to prepare for returning home.

Although as a Huaguo person, he does not necessarily need foreign honors and awards to commend himself, especially his achievements, but in terms of the domestic environment of Huaguo, these things are always inevitable.

It is an indisputable fact that foreign monks like to chant scriptures, but it is also a tragedy.

For example, Tu Youyou was almost a transparent figure in China before she won the Nobel Prize. She had no doctorate, no overseas study experience, and no academician title. In fact, in 2011, she won the Lasker-DiBakey Clinical Medical Research Award, which is known as the weathervane of the Nobel Prize. Even after she won this award, she caused some controversy in the academic circle, because some domestic scholars believed That should belong to the team, not to her, even though she discovered artemisinin first.

And until later, after she won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, the controversy never stopped, but no matter what, it was of great help to her, just like now people all over the country know her name.
