Siheyuan: I am Yi Zhonghai's biological son

Chapter 103 Lithography Machine

The next afternoon, news came: Xu Damao was divorced.

Everyone in the lower house was shocked. Are they really getting divorced? They are not just talking?

Divorce is a new thing these days. Many couples fight every day, but they just stick to it after fighting for a lifetime. In their area, there is only this couple who got divorced, and Xu Damao became completely famous.

The night Yi Ping'an heard that Xu Damao was getting divorced, Sha Zhu drank with him until midnight, and no one knew what they talked about.

Yi Ping'an thought: You two are true love.

After staying at home for only two days, Ping An took Meng Xiaoting back to the research institute.

It was the first time that Meng Xiaoting saw such a house. The kitchen and toilet were both inside the house, and there was no smell. It was so convenient. After packing up Meng Xiaoting's things, the couple happily had dinner in the evening, and Meng Xiaoting settled down in the institute.

Yi Ping'an copied a copy of the medical book from the previous space and gave it to her, asking her to read it herself. If she didn't understand, she could ask him or the people in the clinic, but not to ask about the source of the book. Just say it was left by her family.

The next morning, Yi Ping'an went to Director Liu to report on his next research project. However, Director Liu did not give Yi Ping'an a chance to speak and transferred him to Group 101, saying that there had been technological breakthroughs there, but at the same time, they had also encountered bottlenecks.

When Yi Ping'an arrived at Group 101, he was pulled to a workbench by the group leader Tian Guangming. Pointing at a small circuit board, he said to Yi Ping'an: "Look, Engineer Yi, can this be called an integrated circuit as you said?" There was excitement and nervousness in his tone.

Yi Ping'an looked at the small circuit board carefully and was shocked. Although it was not perfect, it could definitely be called an integrated circuit. As long as there was a technological breakthrough, it could be made smaller and eventually become like the chips of later generations.

Yi Ping'an remembers that my country's first integrated circuit was made in 65, but now it has been advanced by one year. That is to say, our predecessors really did not have broad enough imaginations. But it doesn't matter, I will open your minds and you just need to be professional.

"Of course. We can make it even smaller in the future. For example, a piece like this can be made so small that it cannot be seen by the naked eye. By the way, how did you do it?"

"Come, let me show you something good."

Team leader Tian pulled Yi Ping'an to a heavy machine and said, "This is what it's made of."

Yi Pingan looked at the bulky machine, and a name popped out of his mouth in an instant: "Photolithography machine?"

"Hmm? Photolithography machine? This is a very appropriate name. Let's call it a photolithography machine from now on, hahaha." Team leader Tian said with a laugh.

But Yi Ping'an did not laugh. He even felt like crying. He clearly remembered that in his previous life, he was choked by a chip. He looked up information and found that my country made the first integrated circuit in 65, while the first integrated circuit was invented abroad in 58. The difference was not far. However, abroad had photolithography technology in 60 and industrialized it in 63.

Due to the wind, my country did not have its first lithography machine until the college entrance examination was resumed in 77, which was 81 years behind the United States. However, our predecessors did not slow down and developed a semi-automatic lithography machine in 85 and a step-by-step lithography machine in , which was only seven years behind the United States at that time.

It can be said that we did not lag behind much during that period. In fact, the CPU we imitated was one year earlier than Germany. The older generation of scientists gave us a good start. At that time, we produced our own integrated circuits and did not rely on imports. You should know that Intel at that time was using cheap lithography machines.

However, by the end of the 1980s, the price of integrated circuits abroad had dropped, and many companies had blindly opened up and pursued the idea of ​​"it's better to buy than to make", which led to a gap in the research and development of integrated circuits in my country. Workers became slaves and engineers became code farmers.

Only a very small number of companies insisted on being independent and surviving in the cracks. The former prosperity became a bubble. It was not until after the millennium that we woke up. Unfortunately, we have fallen too far behind.

In the end, it was these older generation scientists who stepped forward and led us out of the predicament.

Yi Pingan looked back at the young faces in the laboratory, took a deep breath, and decided not to let this grand scene become a bubble in this life. Just like what that person said: "My biggest wish is to crawl on the ground and wipe out the shame of the motherland." And now she is still in her prime.

Maybe in this life she won't have to be gray-haired and staggering to take on tasks in times of crisis. As long as we are fast enough, we can become the leaders.

Thanks to his beauty in his previous life, Yi Ping'an wrote down all the information about the lithography machine and wrote it down in his previous manuscript. Yi Ping'an believed that these predecessors who never gave up would surely succeed.

Seeing Yi Ping'an so excited, Team Leader Tian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "These are all inspirations from your manuscripts, but we are still making breakthroughs in some technologies. Engineer Yi, we don't have much time, so I specially applied to the institute to transfer you here. The microcircuit board you developed before also gave us inspiration. I sincerely invite you to join our 101 team."

"It's my honor, but as I said, I just had a sudden idea. Don't think I'm stupid. I'll do the manual work. You should know that I have strong hands-on skills." Yi Ping'an answered excitedly.

With the addition of Yi Ping'an, the daily life of Group 101 becomes more and more weird.

The reason was: One day, a team member encountered a bottleneck in his thinking. While smoking outside, he met Yi Pingan, and the two of them chatted. As a result, the chat gave him an inspiration, and he immediately ran back to the laboratory and made a breakthrough!

At first, no one in the group took it seriously. But another member of the group unexpectedly broke through the technical barrier after accidentally chatting with Yi Ping'an.

This cannot but attract people's attention, and then there is the characteristic of Group 101. These researchers always like to chat with Yi Ping'an whenever they have nothing to do. It doesn't matter what they talk about, as long as they chat. But they can always find some inspiration in his chat, which makes Yi Ping'an think he is a charlatan. Now there is no saying that the end of science is metaphysics.

But the results are gratifying, one technological breakthrough after another, one conjecture after another is confirmed, and one good news after another is continuously reported. As expected, as long as the imagination is big enough, there is nothing that Rabbit cannot do.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they worked overtime every day as if they were given a shot of chicken blood. Fortunately, the cafeteria in the institute was very good and the meals were hot all the time, otherwise Yi Ping'an would be afraid that they would faint from hunger. They really worked day and night while doing experiments. It is because of the efforts of this group of people that we can stand up straight in the future.

By November 64, my country's chip research had taken a big step forward. At this time, Group 11 received an important secret mission to develop a chip. As soon as the task was received, Team Leader Tian assigned tasks to everyone. Yi Ping'an's task was program writing, and he was assigned team members, several of whom were people he had met at the Mushroom Base before.

As soon as Yi Pingan saw that the mission required a remote control system, he knew what he had to do. It was Dongfanghong-70. We had sent it into space in in our previous life. It seemed that we would have to do it earlier this time.

That’s right, if one scientific research is successful, the subsequent ones will be advanced as well.

Yi Ping'an knew that he would be busy, so he asked Wang Kaixuan to send Meng Xiaoting back to the courtyard in advance. When he sent her to the car, he whispered in her ear that he had prepared milk powder in the secret compartment of the study at home. He also asked Wang Kaixuan to go back to see her once every two weeks, as he would be in seclusion and would not have time to go back, so he asked her to take care of herself.

After seeing off Meng Xiaoting who was reluctant to leave, Yi Ping'an and his team members began their "retreat training".
