From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Although it has not been handed over to the Institute of Optoelectronics for final ion beam polishing, it has only undergone previous polishing. The surface roughness is about 1nm-RMS, but under this roughness, this silicon block can still be processed. To the stable diffraction of X-rays, by changing the incident angle, the irradiation range of X-rays can be easily enlarged and reduced.

Of course, this does not mean that the roughness of the surface is enough. The more uneven the surface, the uneven radiation energy will be caused. This will greatly affect the actual performance of the chip when the chip is produced later, so It will still be necessary to polish it to a smoother level in the future.

Of course, there is no need to think about polishing. Anyway, they already have such polishing technology, so just enjoy the joy of success now, that's all.

Just like even now, Zhao Sheng can still recall the scene of their success at that time, the whole laboratory cheered and jumped, watching the square X-ray projection on the screen that magnified and shrunk with the rotation of the lens, even he at that time , and shed tears of excitement for this.

And all of this stems from Lin Xiao's success.

"Professor Zhao, does this mean that we are very close to building a lithography machine?"

At this time, the reporter's question brought Zhao Sheng back to his senses, and then he smiled and said, "Of course."

"If you asked this question before, I probably wouldn't answer it like this, but now, I can only say that we are very close to success."

Zhao Sheng turned his head and glanced at the state of the laboratory. He recalled that when he was invited by Lin Xiao to develop such an incredible material, he was still very reluctant to agree. There were too many, so he didn't come to study this kind of time-wasting thing.

Even at that time, he didn't think that the X-ray project could be successful. He was engaged in scientific research, and of course he knew how difficult the technology required for lithography machines was.

But now, it can almost be said that in the blink of an eye, they are so close to success, one of the last two pieces of the puzzle has been picked up, and the last piece of the puzzle has not been found, but at least this piece of the puzzle is visible The puzzle, not the piece on the tray that was completely invisible.

Hearing Zhao Sheng's words, although the reporter is a reporter, he is also a native of China. Hearing that their lithography machine will also come out, how can he not be excited?

He sincerely praised: "That's really great! Thanks to scientists like you!"

"Hehe." Hearing the thanks, Zhao Sheng just shook his head and said, "You thank us, but everyone in our X-ray project must thank Master Lin. Without him, we are still about ten years away from success." Thousands of miles away."

"To be honest, I'm just playing the role of a little labor force. The X-ray lens material can be made, but I just made it according to the plan given by Master Lin."

The reporter couldn't help being surprised: "The plan was all given by Mr. Lin?"

"Yeah." Zhao Sheng nodded.

Apart from doing an experiment, he made almost no contribution to their research.

This made him feel as if he had become an undergraduate doing a graduation project, and then Lin Xiao was his mentor, who directly dumped the plan to him and asked him to "copy" it out.

At this time, the reporter can only express more surprise in his heart. That Master Lin, is he really cheating?

Of course, it was impossible for him to ask such a question, and then he glanced at the material again and asked, "By the way, Professor Zhao, you just said that this is a lens? But it obviously doesn't look like a mirror, and it's also Not transparent."

Zhao Sheng laughed and said, "Hehe, calling it a lens is a habitual term. In fact, as you can see, it is not transparent, but it can still pass through X-rays. You can regard it as a lens. A special kind of lens."

"I see." The reporter nodded and asked again, "Then is it named?"

"Yes." Zhao Sheng smiled: "The official name is Regular Diffraction X-ray Pure Silicon Crystal, and the abbreviation is RDXCPOS, because it can diffract X-rays very regularly. Of course, we usually call it Xiaojing."

"Xiaojing?"

"Well, Master Lin Xiao's Xiao."

The reporter suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"Hehe, well, it's getting late, and I'll give you the results of the experiment later. At that time, you should try your best to publicize it, so that foreigners can take a good look at it. What is it that they can't do, we can do."

The reporter nodded immediately: "Of course, this is exactly our duty."

"Ah."

……

As the official media, the New China News Agency is also one of the domestic media after CCTV. Once they use all their strength to publicize a matter, of course it will be easy for everyone in the country to know about it.

And in fact, it is not only the Xinhua News Agency that is promoting it.

When the people of Huaguo knew what this "Dawn Mirror" was, immediately, people were excited and full of excitement.

Before the Chinese New Year, foreigners ridiculed that their X-ray project could not be successful, didn't they emphasize that it is impossible for their Huaguo to create this lens that can uniformly diffract X-rays?

Although this "Dawn Mirror" does not look like a lens, its surface itself is like a mirror when it is polished to a roughness below 1nm-RMS. After all, it is smoother than the ancient bronze mirror, so it is It's called a mirror, it's all right, it's just opaque.

But no matter what, isn't this the same as slapping those foreigners in the face?

If you can't do it, we can do it!

So the netizens once again showed their enthusiasm, sharing their joy and joy on various post bars, and the netizens who were able to climb over the wall to the external network showed great fighting power, crazy Taunting those foreigners who mocked Huaguo back then, this made many Huaguo netizens' extranet accounts go crazy.

Of course, in addition to this point, in the news released by the New China News Agency, it is also clearly pointed out that the appearance of Xiaojing means that Huaguo is another big step closer to having its own lithography machine!

This key point makes the Chinese people even more happy.

Lithography!

Lithography!

This pearl that represents human wisdom, and the technology that has always made Hua Guo sad, is now within sight!

The Chinese people who had just spent a new year and enjoyed the fun fell into a carnival again.

Correspondingly, it is the West that has fallen into anxiety.

Wright House is in the Oval Office of the President.

"What is this fucking about?"

The president looked at Jack Theros in front of him, and said angrily, almost spraying saliva on his head.

Jack Theros, on the other hand, showed a shocked expression as he looked at the investigation report in his hand.

In this investigative report, what was written impressively was about Xiao Jing.

Jack Theros couldn't believe it at this time, how could such an obviously impossible thing be created?

how can that be!

But before denying it, look at the experimental result data of "Xiaojing" clearly marked in this investigation report. This part of the data was released by the X-ray project to prove that the Xiaojing produced by them, RDXCOPS regular diffraction X-ray pure silicon crystals, it's real.

Looking at the several spectrograms inside, it indicated that with the change of the angle of the Xiao mirror, the X-ray irradiation range also enlarged and shrunk. At this time, Jack Theros couldn't believe this fact at all.

He couldn't help mumbling: "This is fraud...it must be academic fraud..."

These are just some pictures, and it is easy to fake them. Even in "Nature" and "Science", there are often some papers with fake pictures?

But the president ruthlessly interrupted his thoughts: "Our intelligence sources have already made it clear that this cannot be fake."

"Theros, I believed you so much before, saying that they would not be able to create this thing within ten years, but now, how do you explain it to me?"

"I haven't forgotten what you said at the beginning, you were going to eat the 18.9-meter-long solid wood table in the meeting room."

Jack Theros' face changed. Could it be that the president really wanted him to eat that thing?

What a joke!

How did he know that Lin Xiao really made this thing? !

He pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "I know! It must be the one I told you about, a miracle!"

"Lin Xiao must have created a mathematical model that can explain all the laws of diffraction, and then used this mathematical model to find the crystal structure of this RDXCOPS very easily! Then... and then by virtue of luck, he really made it Out!"

The president snorted coldly and said, "Didn't you say that it was impossible for Lin Xiao to create that kind of mathematical model?"

"This..." Jack Theros lowered his head, and after struggling for a long time, he said helplessly: "President, perhaps, it is because he is Lin Xiao that he created this mathematical model. After all, he is the top in the mathematics world. -"

"Genius!"

"I don't want to hear this!"

the president annoyed.

He knew that it would be meaningless to call Jack Theros here, but he just wanted to find someone to spread his anger and divert his emotions, and Jack Theros naturally became the best object.

At this time, the Secretary of State suddenly came in and said: "President, we found that Lin Xiao uploaded a paper on arxiv called the theory of electronic topological bonding. According to the situation we consulted with many experts, this This paper is a paper that has a chance of winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry or Physics."

"Also, there is a high probability that it is related to the 'Dawn Mirror' they produced."

"What?! Show me!"

Before the president could speak, Jack Theros couldn't help but say.

The secretary of state glanced at the president, who nodded.

Then the Secretary of State handed over the report to Jack Theros.

Jack Theros looked at this report, and what was written on it was a brief overview of Lin Xiao's "Theory of Electron Topological Bonding".

After reading it, Jack Theros was stunned for a moment, and finally heaved a long sigh.

"God, why did you favor a Chinese man?"

Chapter 276 Zhonghai Bodyguard

"God, why did you favor a Chinese man?"

Jack Theros posed such a question.

After working in Asmer for so long, he knows almost everything about EUV lithography machines and DUV lithography machines. If you have to say it, basically no one knows lithography machines better than him. , at most the same level as him.

And it is precisely because he has a good understanding of almost all the core components of the lithography machine that he knows that it is not practical to use X-rays as a light source for this kind of lithography machine that can be mass-produced.

So when he knew about the X-ray project, he didn't care about it at all. Later, when he found out that Lin Xiao still wanted to make the kind of material that can enlarge and reduce the X-ray, he laughed at it.

But now, after seeing this overview of electron topological bonding theory, he admits outright that he was wrong.

And it was dead wrong.

He was actually fighting against a person who was favored by God—even though he knew that Lin Xiao, a native of China, should not believe in God.

Although he is not an expert in chemistry, or condensed matter, or materials science, but as an important research and development personnel of lithography machines at the beginning, his understanding of this aspect is needless to say. Whether it is mathematical chemistry or physics, he knows a little about everything related to lithography machines.

So now he is very clear about how amazingly important this theory of electronic topological bonding is, whether it is innovative, subversive, or huge breakthrough... etc. can be used to describe an academic The vocabulary of the value of the results is enough to add to it.

Because, this electronic topological bonding theory has explained impressively, what mechanism is playing a role in the process of forming chemical bonds for all the materials in the world based on the electromagnetic interaction force, which reveals impressively that this is based on The result of electron topology between atoms.

The previous Lin's bonding mechanism can be said to be the prerequisite for this theory, and this theory reveals the bonding theory of all atoms from a more essential perspective. Why can't the previous Lin's bonding theory be used to explain The bonding mechanism of other elements is because it does not involve the essence.

Of course, these all belong to the importance of theory. For Jack Theros, a pragmatic scientist, the importance of theory is not important. In his opinion, the most important thing about this theory is that it can provide a basis for how to synthesize a The new material provides an instructive role.

This theory analyzes the process of bonding between atoms in a topological way, which is simply a revolutionary theory for chemists and materials scientists.

God knows how much luck and brain cells they need to consume in order to synthesize a new material, and now with this, it is like a bible for them, allowing them to better design the process of synthesizing new materials plan.

So, Jack Theros knew, why Lin Xiao was able to synthesize this material.

This is called a "science fiction" material that regularly diffracts X-ray pure silicon crystals.

In the past, this sci-fi still needed quotation marks, but now that it has appeared, the quotation marks are no longer needed.

Seeing his reaction like this, saying that God is partial to China, the president and the secretary of state next to him looked at each other, and the latter asked, "What's wrong? Mr. Selos?"

Jack Theros shook his head and said: "Mr. Secretary of State, I now believe that this theory is the key to Lin Xiao's ability to synthesize RDXCOPS. To be honest, I really can't believe that this theory came from Lin Xiao. He Obviously there have been so many great achievements in mathematics and physics, and now they have made this kind of chemistry and materials—even though I am reluctant, I still have to call it a great theory.”

"But now that the facts have proven it, I can only say that God is on his side."

The faces of the president and the secretary of state suddenly became more dignified.

After a long silence, the Secretary of State suddenly asked: "By the way, according to his theory, can we prepare this RDXCOPS?"

"It seems possible...not right!" Jack Theros, who just thought it seemed possible, suddenly remembered something, and then his eyes became more and more shocked, as if the thing he remembered made him feel extremely unbelievable.

The president and the secretary of state, who were just excited when they heard "yes", were taken aback by the sudden turn of events. The president said angrily, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Jack Theros took a deep breath, and finally: "No, still not!"

"Mr. President, half a month ago, I told you that to make this material, you need two steps. I said that the second step requires luck, but now, Lin Xiao has succeeded from a theoretical point of view. Of course there is an element of luck in the end."

"The first step is actually the most critical. The first step needs to confirm that the material structure can achieve uniform diffraction of X-rays. This is difficult, and even more impossible than the second step in my opinion."

"However, I now have reasons to believe that Lin Xiao may have found the fundamental law of diffraction! It is precisely because of this that he was able to design the structural model of RDXCOPS, which made him successful."

Speaking of this, the shock in Jack Theros' eyes has turned into a complete sense of powerlessness, and even his tone is full of helplessness.

He is already in his early 50s this year. Although he has failed before, for example, he has failed many times in the research and development of EUV lithography machines, including the research and development of EUV lithography machines, which has been skipped many times due to the broken capital chain. , But in the end, the EUV lithography machine, known as the crystallization of human wisdom, was still completed in the hands of him and many other engineers, so he never felt that he was inferior to those top mathematicians and physicists.

But now, he felt extremely frustrated because of this Chinese man named Lin Xiao.

How can there be such a genius in the world? !

For him, a Christian, it must be because God favored this man who clearly did not believe in God.

And the president frowned: "But didn't you say that he hadn't published this paper before?"

Jack Theros was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

Yes, Lin Xiao has never published this paper before!

How did Lin Xiao design it?
