From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 263 The Effect of a Letter

a day later.

In Yanbeiyuan's house, Lin Xiao stared at a paper on the screen.

This paper is about Lin's Al-bonding mechanism.

This bonding mechanism was researched by a German chemist. Because aluminum is used in a wide range and the cost of aluminum is low enough, there are many studies on aluminum. This paper on the aluminum bonding mechanism quotes The amount is quite a lot, at least more than Lin Xiao's titanium bonding mechanism.

Soon, he finished reading the paper.

In fact, he didn’t finish reading it. For him, after reading the abstract, he basically knew how this person did his research. Then he browsed the table of contents roughly and read the introduction of each section. He basically You can write this paper in your own way.

Therefore, the speed at which he reads a paper is quite fast.

And after reading this paper, he has read all the papers related to Lin's bonding mechanism.

These papers are basically researches along the lines of his papers. First, they study the particle structures of several existing objects, analyze the electronic structures of chemical bonds in them, and then use them to establish several A unique mathematical model, through this mathematical model, is substituted into different situations for analysis, and finally the whole mechanism can be summarized.

So, this mathematical model is a key.

Without the titanium mathematical model established by Lin Xiao, if other researchers want to study this problem, they must first be on par with him in terms of mathematical ability at that time.

But obviously, in the field of materials science and chemistry, it is basically rare to have his kind of mathematical ability. Even if he has his kind of mathematical ability, he may not be researching in this direction.

"Then, I should also conduct research from this mathematical model now."

Recalling the related properties of silicon, Lin Xiao thought about it.

Since there is no bonding mechanism of silicon, it means that the research on the bonding mechanism of silicon has failed in the past. The scope of application of silicon is no less than that of aluminum, and someone will definitely study the bonding mechanism of silicon.

That being the case, there is no need for him to collect data from scratch for research. He can just look for those failed research results.

These failed results may not be published in journals, but they can definitely be found on arxiv.

So he quickly entered arxiv and started looking for it.

Sure enough, within a short while, he found two articles, one from a professor of chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and one from a professor of materials science at ETH Zurich.

Soon, after downloading these two papers, Lin Xiao began to read them.

The methods of these two papers are similar, after all, they are based on his original research.

Both papers found several pure substances made of silicon element, that is, silicon element and silicon compound.

Then they built a mathematical model according to Lin Xiao's method.

In this step, even with Lin Xiao’s guidance, because elements are very different from each other, for example, titanium has four outer nuclear electron shells, while silicon has three outer nuclear electron shells. According to the electron orbital theory, the Their nature requires a new division, so it is still difficult to build a mathematical model.

Of course, the professors of these two prestigious schools are very powerful, and it is impossible for the research team to lack people with strong mathematics skills, but they still failed.

Lin Xiao saw that in the end, the professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology failed because the several formulas between the mathematical models could not form an organic connection, and they had exhausted their efforts, and there was no way to combine the various parameters in the mathematical model. To reconcile to a state of harmony.

The professor of materials science at ETH Zurich encountered similar problems.

"Why... does this mathematical model fail?"

After sorting out the two mathematical models, Lin Xiao couldn't help thinking.

There is still a certain connection between the two models. Lin Xiao took out the paper and pen, and began to try to connect the two models.

This point is also difficult, but it is for other people, but for Lin Xiao, this step is not difficult, so he simply wrote down a few formulas, and he organized the two models into one model .

"The main reason for the failure of this model is that there is still no way to explain the process of losing and gaining electrons in the four layers of silicon."

"Electron...Electron..."

Looking at the incomplete mathematical model in front of him, Lin Xiao suddenly thought of something, that is, the symmetric protected topological order.

In condensed matter physics, most condensed matter materials such as metals and insulators can ignore the interaction between electrons, which is well explained under the framework of Landau-Fermi liquid theory.The interacting electrons will form a very rich symmetry-breaking order, while the symmetry-preserving topological order is a newly discovered state of matter, which can also be understood as the internal structure of matter.

This point discusses the various relationships that occur between electrons in matter.

However, if you want to understand it systematically, you need some very abstract mathematical theories, such as cohomology theory and pairing theory, and those who are better at studying mathematics obviously don't study chemistry or condensed matter very much. Those who study chemistry or condensed matter obviously do not necessarily fully understand these two theories, so the research on the state of matter such as symmetry-protected topological order is not in-depth.

But Lin Xiao was different.

He understands both of them very well, so when he looks at this mathematical model now, the intuition in his mind tells him that it may have something to do with this thing.

He even had a faint feeling in his heart that if he researched this thing, it would be very valuable.

He frowned, and asked in his mind: "System, how many truth points are needed to solve this problem?"

System: "Based on the host's current subject level, 85 truth points are required."

Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly trembled.

85 truth points!
Amazing value!
But soon he realized that truth points are so expensive, and if he wants to solve it, I am afraid it will be another pitfall.

Touching his face, he didn't feel troubled, but he felt in his heart that there would be a lot of things to do in the future.

"Well, let's try it."

Lin Xiao stopped thinking about it and started to study it.

……

While Lin Xiao was studying his stuff, Director Ma on the other side was attending a meeting in the State Council.

For his level, it is very common to go to the National Council to attend meetings.

However, after the meeting ended, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he went to the door of an office, took out a letter from his pocket, and said to the leading secretary at the door: "Secretary Li, this is written by Professor Lin Xiao." He asked me to forward the letter to the leader."

"Ok."

Secretary Li nodded. His leader had reminded him many times that anything related to that Professor Lin should be reported immediately, so he attached great importance to it.

After receiving the envelope handed over by Director Ma, he knocked on the door and walked in.

Handing the letter to the old man, he said, "This is a letter delivered by Director Ma on behalf of Professor Lin Xiao, and I want to show it to you."

"Ah."

The old man nodded, his eyes flickered, Lin Xiao wrote him a letter?

He has always cared about that young man, a top scientific genius, especially after Lin Xiao came back and took root in the research of semiconductors, which made them achieve many breakthroughs in China, which made him feel very gratified.

Some time ago, Lin Xiao said that he wanted to build an X-ray engraving machine, which caused a lot of discussion. Many people, both at home and abroad, expressed doubts about Lin Xiao, and many people wrote letters to the old man, questioning Lin Xiao. He thinks that he is wasting resources by engaging in X-lithography machines.

However, these were suppressed by him.

Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and Lin Xiao will of course be envied by others when he gets so many resources from the country.

However, as Lin Xiao's backer, he can naturally block Lin Xiao from these things in the world.

Although he can't change the human nature of Huaguo's scientific community, it's okay to help a person avoid these things.

So, what kind of surprise is hidden in this letter?

He waved his hand and said to the secretary, "Let's go out first."

"Ok."

The secretary nodded and walked out of the office. Then the old man opened the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.

There were only a few simple sentences on the letter paper, but after reading it, the old man was very pleasantly surprised.

Start to assemble the lithography machine? !
Lin Xiao, this is...

Already have a grasp of success?
After thinking for a moment, he called the secretary in again and asked the secretary to call Director Ma over.

Director Ma didn't go far, just arrived at the parking lot, and soon received a call from Secretary Li.

"Let me go back? Do you have something to discuss?... Good good good good good good good good good good good! Come here."

Putting down the phone, he trotted over immediately, and at the same time he couldn't help looking forward to it
I just forwarded Lin Xiao's letter to him, and then I'm going to discuss things with him. This must be something important!

It must be something big written in Lin Xiao's letter.

And it's a good thing.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace again, and soon arrived at the office. He heard that it was actually a plan to start assembling the lithography machine!
For a moment, if he hadn't taken into account that this was the leader's office, he would have laughed out loud.

Lin Xiao said that he was going to assemble the lithography machine, so he must be sure!

When the leader came to him, the matter was also very simple, that is, to ask him to contact Lin Xiao and various companies to prepare for the assembly of the X-lithography machine, and to set up the meeting and the things that should be discussed.

Director Ma naturally agreed to this.

"Remember, cooperate well with Lin Xiao, whether Huaguo can catch up in semiconductors depends on this time!"

"Yes!"

……

In the next period of time, meetings of various scales and specifications will be held, ranging from leaders to various enterprises.

A letter from Lin Xiao stirred up an affair involving tens of thousands of people.

And everyone knows such a thing——

Lin Xiao is about to officially start the assembly of the lithography machine!
