From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Of course, in addition to teaching graduate students, the school also arranged for Lin Xiao to lead classes. Next year's number theory class will include basic number theory for sophomores and number theory for graduate students.

For this, Lin Xiao did not refuse. The school offered him so much money, and the class still had to be taught, and I believe that many students would look forward to his class, so we can't let other students down.

However, the class has to wait until the next semester, and there will be a year in between.

And just like that, the time is gradually approaching the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival, Lin Xiao naturally needs to go home.

Mimi still gave it to Professor Zheng Ren upstairs.

Zheng Ren was also very pleasantly surprised to become a neighbor again, and he did not refuse Lin Xiao's request. What surprised Lin Xiao was that Professor Zheng's family had another cat.

It seems that this old professor who used to dislike cats has become a glorious cat slave now.

……

Time passed quickly, and the New Year's Eve ushered in again.

"Happy New Year!"

The crisp sound of clinking glasses resounded on the dining table at home.

Looking at his family members, Lin Xiao had a smile on his face.

After not seeing his family members for a year, he was very happy to see them again.

After drinking the beer in the glass, even my mother Yang Rong drank it, not to mention my father Lin Guowen, the smile on his face was very happy.

After all, their son not only became a professor at Shangjing University, but also the youngest professor in all of China. Both of them felt that they would have no regrets in this life.

Then, talking and laughing, I was full of wine and food.

"I'm full, I'll go back to my room first."

Lin Xiao packed up his bowls and chopsticks and said

Lin Guowen said, "Xiaoxiao, take a good rest this Chinese New Year, don't always stay in the room and study."

Yang Rong also persuaded: "Xiaoxiao, don't always stay in the room by yourself."

She said, "Let's go out for a stroll as a family tonight."

Lin Guowen also agreed: "Well, let's go out together, Xiaoxiao, you go too, you haven't come back for a year after you go out, how long has it been since we went out together?"

Hearing what his parents said, Lin Xiao didn't refuse, and said with a smile, "Okay."

Then, the family walked out of the house and started shopping outside.

It was already dark at this time, and there were a lot of people shopping, most of them were with friends or family members.

It had been a long time since he had gone shopping like this, and Lin Xiao was also full of emotion.

The only pity is that the sound of firecrackers in the past can no longer be heard.

"Xiaoxiao, you are engaged in scientific research, tell me what are we researching in the world's cutting-edge science?"

2 Chapter Twenty: The First Year of the Rise of Huaguo Semiconductor

Suddenly, Lin Guowen found a topic to chat with.

Lin Xiao didn't feel sleepy when he heard this question, and said quite complacently, "Of course they are all studying my multidimensional field theory."

"Huh? Isn't multidimensional field theory a theory? Is it also a cutting-edge science?" Lin Guowen asked.

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why is theoretical research not considered cutting-edge science?"

"I thought it was rockets and lithography machines."

"What you're talking about is cutting-edge research in applied science, which is fine."

"That's it." Lin Guowen said.

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly, it is better not to entangle with his father about these issues.

However, Lin Guowen obviously intends to continue the chat: "But tell me, the whole country has been researching lithography machines in recent years. Lithography machines are just like printers. Why can't we research them?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands and said: "The two are not the same thing. The printer can only print one character on a 1 cm paper, and the lithography machine can print 1000 million characters. The lithography machine uses lithography, and the light is very short. of."

"It's just to control variables." Lin Guowen said, "So our country's technology is still not developing well."

Listening to what his father said, Lin Xiao didn't know what to say, but the words "control variable" suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help being taken aback.

control variable?

Thinking back to the model of the lithography machine in his mind, he suddenly felt that he had found a feasible optimization solution.

To optimize a technology product, it should be analyzed from the control variables!

And what are the variables of the lithography machine?

Optical path, reflective lens, light source...etc.

The problem he has been struggling with before is related to these things. Because the lithography machine needs to engrave on the nanometer scale, it also has requirements for the accuracy of these things, and it must also reach the nanometer level. This requires mentioning an important The spare parts, that is, the servo motor, the servo motor is an engine that can control the operation of mechanical components, but Huaguo still lags behind foreign countries in this regard.

So what he has been thinking about is how to create a servo motor whose precision can also reach the nanometer level.

This again requires the depth of a country's industrial technology, not its breadth. This is also the disadvantage of Huaguo's industry. The breadth is there, but the depth is not enough.

The accuracy of the servo motor is definitely the most critical criterion for judging depth.

Lithography machines need it, and machine tools called industrial master machines also need it.

However, due to poor research on basic materials, the accuracy of Huaguo servo motors is not high.

Then, this is the variable that Lin Xiao needs to control.

If this variable is well controlled, many problems of the lithography machine will be solved.

Therefore, Lin Xiao has his first goal, which is to improve the accuracy of the current servo motor!

Think about the data in your mind, this point, there is every chance to achieve it.

He took a deep breath, a little excited in his heart, and then he said to his father: "Dad, you are right."

Lin Guowen laughed: "Of course I'm right."

Without complaining about where his father's self-confidence came from, Lin Xiao then said to his parents: "By the way, Dad, Mom, I may be busy in the next year. I don't know if I will come back next year." .”

Both Lin's father and Lin's mother were taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Lin Xiao said, "I'm going to do something more important."

Hearing Lin Xiao's sudden mention of this matter, although Lin's father and Lin's mother were a little puzzled, they didn't ask too much. Lin Xiao is already an adult and has his own ambitions.

Lin's father patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead and do it. Men should do great things. Dad believes in you."

Lin's mother also said: "Mom also believes in you, anyway, you will come back sooner or later, it's okay."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly: "Yes."

……

Time passed quickly, and Lin Xiao didn't stay at home for a full year, but returned to Shangjing three days before the Lantern Festival.

The school starts on March [-]st, and there is still about a week to go, but Lin Xiao didn't take it easy. When he came back, he took out his mobile phone and called Ma Gaoliang, the director of the Science and Technology Bureau.

At this time, in the Huaguo Science and Technology Bureau, Director Ma Gaoliang was dealing with various things in his office.

The Bureau of Science and Technology has the right to manage matters related to science and technology across the country, such as the application of various national science and technology awards. Although this is mainly the right of the National Academy of Sciences, the opinions of the Science and Technology Bureau also have a high reference ratio. In addition Various major national science and technology projects also need to go through their approval, as well as the supervision of various scientific research funds, etc.

All in all, Huaguo's scientific community is a huge system, and the Science and Technology Bureau is one of the most important regulatory agencies. Of course, this means that things are also relatively busy.

After Ma Gaoliang signed an important policy document, he rubbed his eyes and called his secretary to pour him a glass of water.

"I'm so busy before the end of the year, and I guess I'll have to be busy until April and May."

He sighed.

But just as he finished feeling, he suddenly saw his cell phone ringing.

Picking up the phone and looking at the caller, he suddenly froze.

"Lin Xiao?!"

His heart suddenly became excited.

He has been waiting for this call for a long time.

In other words, after Lin Xiao came back, he had been waiting for Lin Xiao to call him.

Because he knew that as long as Lin Xiao called him, there must be something important that needed the help of the state. Maybe it was a big event that could promote the development of their country.

The reason why he thought so was because he never forgot what Lin Xiao had written on that piece of paper. Up to now, he still kept that piece of paper and kept it in his own home.

Now, Lin Xiao finally called.

He was looking forward to what Lin Xiao would say.

Then, he said to his secretary, "Go out first, I have an important call."

The secretary who was pouring water for the leader heard this and left the office with doubts.

After the door was closed, Ma Gaoliang answered the phone.

He suppressed his excitement and asked, "Professor Lin, what's the matter?"

"Let's talk face to face, it's a more important thing."

Lin Xiao's voice came from there.

Hearing this sentence, Director Ma Gaoliang suddenly felt like hearing the sounds of nature.

This is what he wanted to hear!

The more important things need to be discussed in person, and he can't wait to know what is the matter that made Lin Xiao ask for it.

Then he said, "Okay! Where shall we meet?"

"You find a suitable place."

"Row!"

Director Ma Gaoliang said immediately.

……

Soon, in an unremarkable tea restaurant, Lin Xiao and Ma Gaoliang sat in a small private room, drinking tea and ordering some snacks.

After closing the door, Ma Gaoliang said with a smile: "This place is a place where we prefer to talk about things. With our official background, it's quite safe."

Lin Xiao nodded, "That's good."

"Professor Lin, can you say something important now?"

"Do you know silicon wafers?"

Hearing these three words, Ma Gaoliang's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Then he looked around nervously, and then whispered to Lin Xiao: "I know, I know this too well, do you want to develop in this direction?"

Silicon wafers are the largest in the chip raw material market. As the director of the Science and Technology Bureau, if he doesn't even know this, he can really resign directly.

Now, in the silicon wafer market, foreign companies have long occupied a major share, and he, the director of the Science and Technology Bureau, will certainly feel anxious about it.

"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I have some ideas about the production process of 12-inch silicon wafers."

"That's really good!"

Ma Gaoliang became even more excited. 12-inch silicon wafers are the mainstream of all current specifications of silicon wafers, because the larger the silicon wafer, the more chips it can produce, and the lower the unit cost. Therefore, like the previous 8-inch and 6-inch Silicon wafers are already falling behind.

However, due to certain problems in the production process, Huaguo does not have an advantage in the production of silicon wafers.

However, once their production technology catches up, they will let those foreign silicon wafer factories feel the fear of being ruled by Huaguo's huge industrial system.

So Ma Gaoliang immediately asked: "What are you going to do? I will follow your orders."

Seeing Ma Gaoliang's excitement, Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and then said: "I need to cooperate with a domestic company that already has the production capacity of 12-inch silicon wafers. This way, it will be more convenient for my research and development."

"Okay, I'll get in touch with you when I get back." Ma Gaoliang immediately responded, "Just... let's go into the silicon industry. This is the first company in our country to develop a 12-inch silicon wafer production line. It is also our state-owned enterprise. The proportion of asset holdings is the highest."

"Okay, state-owned assets are the best. I don't believe in companies controlled by private companies."

Lin Xiao nodded. For him, state-owned enterprises are naturally the best, which can also effectively prevent the technology he researched from being packaged and sold abroad by those private companies.

"Okay, I know this." Ma Gaoliang said with a smile: "As for important new technologies, we can re-establish a state-owned enterprise to directly manage the new technologies, and what problems can be directly avoided."
