From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 221 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 Dad 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."

"If that's the case, all the better."

Lin Xiao nodded.

"Well, that's it, I'll do it when I get back."

Ma Gaoliang said with a smile on his face.

This trip was not in vain. The importance of the silicon wafer production process is self-evident.

Even though he didn't know whether Lin Xiao could really solve this problem, but thinking back to the few words Lin Xiao wrote in that note, he believed Lin Xiao inexplicably in his heart.

But then, Lin Xiao said, "There is one more thing."

Ma Gaoliang was taken aback for a moment, and was even more pleasantly surprised: "What else is there?"

"More important than silicon wafers, servo motors."

"servo motor?!"

Ma Gaoliang was shocked again.

He is more familiar with servo motors. He was a worker in a machinery factory when he was young, and he has come to this point later. Servo motors are the core components of those machine tools. He knows very well that this How important things are to a country's industry.

"Say it!" His tone became serious again.

"For the research and development of servo motors, I need to set up my own team, as well as financial needs."

"This is absolutely no problem." Ma Gaoliang said: "Within 100 million, I will approve it directly for you. If it is less than [-] billion, I will hold a few meetings in our department and give you approval directly. If it is less than [-] billion, you fill out an application form. I will ask the National Council to approve it for you."

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "100 billion is not enough. If the servo motor is developed, it will be almost one billion."

Maybe it seems a little too much.

"You can raise the funds, I am very aware of the importance of servo motors to us."

Ma Gaoliang said very seriously.

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and then said: "However, I still have a few requirements. The first point is that during the research process, everything needs to be based on my decision. The second point is that the partner cannot interfere with my research. , the third point, if I need some talent help, the government needs to help me."

Hearing these three conditions, Ma Gaoliang said: "Don't worry, there are no problems with these."

Lin Xiao nodded, and continued: "In addition, do you still remember what we said in Paris, if I return to China, do I have another request?"

"I remember, you said."

"In the future, I don't want any political interference."

Ma Gaoliang was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "This matter requires an order from the leader above. As you know, I can only manage our Science and Technology Bureau."

"Well, I know, then I will trouble you."

Lin Xiao nodded, picked up the Longjing tea next to him, took a sip, and said with emotion: "Good tea."

Ma Gaoliang also smiled, "The tea is delicious, and the dim sum here is also good."

"Ah."

……

a week later.

A brand-new state-owned enterprise was quietly established, directly established by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, called Dingguang Technology Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 10 billion yuan.

At the beginning of the company's establishment, there was only one manager, Lin Xiao.

Not long after, the company cooperated with Silicon Industry, a leading company in the domestic semiconductor material industry chain.

Then, the company began to recruit many talents in the domestic machinery industry.

Of course, no one has paid attention to these things for the time being.

But after a long time, when people look back on the past, they will know that today is the beginning of Huaguo's counterattack against foreign countries in the semiconductor industry.

It is also known as the first year of the rise of Huaguo Semiconductor.
