Reborn I want everything

Chapter 39 Gu Zhe's Life Plan (crossed out and changed to obscenity)
Of course, Gu Zhe was not the kind of guy who just wanted to make money with his hammer here and there.

As early as the summer vacation, after he had just relieved his family's mortgage crisis, he had already started to plan for his long-term industry-university-research career, just waiting for the first phase of start-up funds to be in place.

As mentioned earlier, Gu Zhe's last job before his rebirth was to be in charge of patent layout work at Dongxin International from 2022 to 2026.

The reason why he was able to be placed in the past was that he had previously run a patent office and worked in the State Intellectual Property Bureau for those years, focusing on the legal work of "additive technology and related new materials", especially the "graphene-like two-dimensional The specific subdivided technical field of "material chemical deposition method and additive process" has also achieved outstanding performance.

Some people may find it strange-shouldn’t a chip foundry giant looking for a person in charge of patent layout find a legal expert who is the most proficient in lithography and etching machines and has a laser/microelectronics background?Why do you want to find someone who does chemical deposition?
To clarify this, we have to involve a disruptive technology that first appeared in the laboratory in April 2020:

At that time, for the first time in the chemical laboratory, humans ran through a new graphene-like material "two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide" and a technical route for additively manufacturing chips with chemical deposition.

Of course, for this kind of top-notch gadget, every step from "running through the laboratory" to "factory mass production" is not easy.Later, it took at least another five or six years and hundreds of billions of dollars in investment.

On the eve of Gu Zhe's rebirth, the company was barely able to trial production. On this brand-new track that completely started from scratch, Samsung and X Semiconductors were gradually cornered. (Of course, the photolithography method is still stronger than Samsung and X Semiconductors. After all, it is an old track and cannot catch up.)
In layman's terms, the traditional lithography machine chip is a typical subtractive manufacturing process.First get a silicon wafer, cut, photolithography, etch, and remove the unnecessary parts, just like processing mechanical parts with a machine tool.

The chemical deposition method makes chips from scratch, starting from a deposition mask, and "brush" (adsorb) two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide with a single layer of molecular thickness layer by layer, just like building walls with 3D printing. The same, and finally "build" a chip.

As for why two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide can make chips, how to make them specifically, and why graphene with similar characteristics can’t do it...

The technical details here are a long story, and I can't explain it clearly in thousands of words.This has nothing to do with Gu Zhe's next plan, so let's put it aside for now.

If Gu Zhe still has a chance to climb to the pinnacle of the global hard technology circle in this life, and can mobilize enough resources to think about such a big event at that time, it will not be too late to elaborate on the anecdotes and grievances in it.

Fortunately, Gu Zhe is not only good at the additive process technology route of "chemical deposition method". Even if he only looks at "chemical deposition method", he knows more than just making chips.

The years of obscenity before rebirth gave him a good understanding of the evolution of surrounding technologies.

Therefore, Gu Zhe's entrepreneurial idea is to gradually build his own industry-university-research empire by using other additive technology that he knew in his previous life and whose threshold is lower by one or even several orders of magnitude.

For example, to manufacture chips by chemical deposition of molybdenum disulfide, you need 1000 billion U.S. dollars, which is temporarily unavailable.

Then think about the "powder metallurgy titanium alloy 3D printing" that only costs billions of dollars in research and development. This is also an additive process that Gu Zhe had a deep understanding of in his early years. The market prospect is also good, and it can manufacture many high-precision mechanical equipment , industrial master machine, and can also print the titanium alloy brake of Bugatti Veyron.

If you can’t even spend billions of dollars, then you can take the next step and engage in “injection molding glass making” that also belongs to the field of “additive technology”, but the start-up research and development funds may only cost tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars. "—

Don't look down on glass, and don't think that the traditional firing/grinding subtractive process is cheap enough to make glass, so you think this track has no future.

There is really little difference in cost advantage between additive and subtractive processes for making ordinary glass.But if it is to manufacture the most precise optical lens glass, then the injection molding additive manufacturing glass technology born in Germany on April 2021, 4 will have great advantages.

Of course, if you can’t afford tens of millions of dollars for laboratory construction and can’t make additive optical glass, then you have to go back an order of magnitude and start with the aspherical injection-molded resin lenses that have become popular in the 2010s.

The additive development of resin lenses is an order of magnitude easier than the additive development and cost of optical glass lenses.

After all, it was only 2002 when Gu Zhe came back from his rebirth, and many technologies that would become commonplace ten years later and cause the cost of glasses to plummet have not been developed yet.

(Note: The cost of spectacle lenses in later generations is at least an order of magnitude lower than that in the 2000s, thanks to the advancement of injection molding technology and material technology. However, the price of glasses has not decreased significantly, mainly because the gross profit margin of eyewear brands is becoming more and more profitable. New concepts maintain high prices)
If he spends millions of dollars in scientific research funds to build a laboratory and organize research and development forces, Gu Zhe is sure to make a certain breakthrough in this direction, and then he can use the results to support scientific research and improve his own strength by an order of magnitude.

Of course, for Gu Zhe, a few million dollars is still too huge.So even if it is a new generation of additive injection molding resin lenses, Gu Zhe still can't figure it out...

Fortunately, he still has a spare tire industry with a lower R&D starting point to choose from.

That is a contact lens that belongs to the field of optical lenses, but is an order of magnitude lower than the research cost of resin lenses for frame glasses, and is also more humble.

The last choice, with his current capital, seems to be able to start research and development if he is willing to "rent a laboratory" instead of pursuing a "self-built laboratory".

The contact lenses on the market in 02 still need to be manufactured with a certain subtractive process.

That is to say, when the small wafers were first produced, the surface curvature and thickness difference could not meet the optical degree requirements, and had to be optically polished to the required degree.

So today's contact lenses are still relatively expensive, and there are very few brands that sell "daily disposable". Most contact lenses are still regarded as durable goods rather than consumables, and consumers simply cannot afford to throw them away.

And once Gu Zhe enters this track, he can use silicone hydrogel or some hydrated polymers with the corresponding additive process, whether it is centrifugal method or mold casting method, to create a wearable body that can be worn directly without optical grinding. Contact lenses...there is still a huge room for imagination at that time.

All of the above is just the simplest struggle route that Gu Zhe started to brainstorm after solving the mortgage crisis at home during his summer vacation. He also secretly wrote a lot of materials and planning routes for this——

Of course, he knew that it was absolutely impossible to go down this route as smoothly as "Life Spoiler", and every step he took would really expand his strength by an order of magnitude.

There will definitely be twists and turns, and there will be branch deployments that fork out.This can only be regarded as Gu Zhe's most idealized review application model of his previous life knowledge and experience.

Once Gu Zhe starts resuming the game, the butterfly effect will definitely disrupt the world he knew before his rebirth, and the opponent will react accordingly. In the end, the foresight that Gu Zhe can use will definitely be huge. discount.

And Gu Zhe knew very well that he didn't have the ability to run a business on his own.

After the technology is developed, he doesn't know whether to sell it, collect licensing fees, or find a suitable person to be the CEO of a specific industrial company for him, and self-operate these technologies. It depends on the follow-up development.

Fortunately, he is not in a hurry anyway, and can spend years slowly researching and developing, providing overall technical solutions in the field of additive technology one by one, gradually strengthening himself, and finally slowly moving towards the ultimate goal.

Of course, there is always a limit to a person's intelligence and knowledge, and he is not some supernatural person with a database in his brain.

Scientific research in modern society is very particular about the division of labor and refinement. In the future layout of industry-university-research, what Gu Zhe can research and develop himself is only a very small part.

Most of them still need outsourcing, or he personally just points out the general direction and acts as a resource scheduler.The specific research and development work needs to organize a large number of engineers and scientists to complete.

The first step now is to develop a "high molecular hydration polymer" that he has seen related technical materials in his previous life, which can be used for low-cost and simple production of new contact lenses.

He thinks that with hundreds of thousands of start-up capital, it can be done to build an experimental team and rent a laboratory in the name of the company.

Before that, he helped people publicize the account opening of brokerage firms during the summer vacation, earning 20 yuan.

But this time, it reached a lawsuit settlement with Supper. In the next month or two, at least a small batch of new kitchenware patents with innovative structures can be sold.At that time, the profit from this piece will definitely be several times more than the piecemeal work during the summer vacation.

Gu Zhe never fought unprepared battles. He was willing to spend so much energy on this lawsuit and this way, so he naturally wanted to earn a lot of votes.

If it weren't for the provision of sufficient funds for the research and development of new materials for additive contact lenses, Gu Zhe would not have done anything unnecessary.

……

Of course, it is impossible for Gu Zhe to tell his prospective girlfriend about these long-term plans.After all, some things are just his mid-to-long-term obsession review, and the horoscope has not been written yet.He knows what he has in mind.

However, in the face of a prospective girlfriend who is "afraid that he will go astray in litigation", it is completely fine to describe the cake I will draw in the first stage and let the other party share his joy, and the risk is absolutely controllable .

After leading Lu Youyou to wander around his office for a while, Gu Zhe took out some copies of patent documents that were already being applied for, and explained to the other party:
"These are all small inventions of kitchen utensils with only structural innovations. In fact, I have been gradually applying for layout long before the lawsuit with Supper.

These sources of inspiration are also chemical laboratory utensils, several of which are definitely of actual mass production value. I even plan to apply for PCT international, so that they can be sold at a higher price.

In the past two months, I have managed these things well, and by then at least two or three times more than what I earned during the summer vacation.Then, I am going to let the company rent the school laboratory to do some material research and development - I can't say what the specific research and development is for the time being, mainly because I am not sure.But the source of my ideas is the inspiration I received when I took the organic class with Professor Zheng. "

Gu Zhe casually found a fig leaf for his source of inspiration, anyway, this was just talking in private and has no legal effect.

As long as the procedures for renting the laboratory are complete, no one will be able to snatch his results, not even the teachers and professors in the school.If it's not safe enough, Gu Zhe can also rent a commercial laboratory outside the society.

Seeing that his life was so planned, Lu Youyou was completely relieved of him: "I really didn't expect it. It's only been a few months. I feel that your knowledge in all aspects has improved by leaps and bounds. If you make it this time , I even want to ask you to be a staff member, and to give advice on my family's business."

There is nothing wrong with Lu Youyou saying that, after all, her family's business has a net worth of tens of millions and a valuation of over [-] million.

Gu Zhe's plan in front of him is, at best, just spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to rent a laboratory for projects.It's much smaller than the Lu family's business.

It was normal for Lu Youyou to see that he did small things well and achieved success first, and then dared to entrust him with big ones for consultation.

"Then it's up to me." Gu Zhe confidently put away the pile of copies of the application documents, and after doing some chores, he pulled Lu Youyou to lock the door and went downstairs for dinner.

In fact, the reason why Gu Zhe can still remember the "kitchenware patent application documents" that Gu Zhe showed to the other party so clearly after his rebirth is not only because these things are more or less inspired by chemical experiment utensils, but because Gu Zhe's previous life After buying these things and actually using them, I am impressed.

When he bought these kitchen utensils in his previous life, he bought all German brands—these items made by domestic brands could not be sold, because Chinese cooking skills are relatively better, and "students have less stationery".

The Germans like to cook rigorously and rigidly, "poor students have a lot of stationery", and the cooking skills are poor, but the tools are complete and sophisticated.

What are the shredded planes with cucumber shredded funnels, mushroom slicers, simple filter juicers that are easy to clean and unplugged...

Many small kitchen utensils invented by Germans between 2005 and 2020, but those that Gu Zhe bought in his previous life and studied with the eyes of a chemical student, are now at his hands. He directly draws a structural analysis drawing with AUTOCAD and an instruction manual , you can apply for it, and there is no difficulty in the structure.

At that time, each item will be an invention, at least 20 to [-] for a single item, and a promising one can be sold for more than [-] to [-]. The start-up funds for scientific research will be enough.
