From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 276 One of the last two puzzle pieces is completed!

The New Year begins after New Year's Eve, and 2022 is the Year of the Tiger.

There are two trees in the yard of Yanbei Garden, one is an elm tree and the other is an elm tree.

And this New Year, Lin Xiao is also the first time to spend in other places, not staying at home, and spending it with his family, which also makes him quite emotional.

Of course, fortunately, he also has a place to eat. He ate a New Year's Eve dinner at Zheng's house, and took Zheng Rong'er to have a good time on New Year's Eve.

However, this new year has not been peaceful, and the matter of Shan Tianbo is still being discussed by people on the Internet.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another thing that has aroused discussions among many netizens.

That was the scarf that Lin Xiao released that day.

[Please continue to think about why we are not number one]

The scarf, like the one he said to Dawson Addinson, is as easy to strike a chord with.

In addition, the fans of Lin Xiao's scarf are all real people, and there are a lot of people who have followed him recently, so when his scarf was released, it once again attracted a lot of comments and likes.

Then, this scarf naturally rushed to the trending search, and two days later, this trending search was still on the list, and it never went down, and the total number of comments and likes below also broke through directly and easily One hundred thousand.

Probably, Lin Xiao is the only one in the entire Huaguo who can post a scarf and be on the top of a trending search, and the number of interactions can directly reach six figures.

And among the people who replied, there are many well-known Internet celebrities. Although some of them are hype, there are obviously some people who reply from the bottom of their hearts.

For example, Uncle Da Mo, a certain Southern Navy lord, and even Brother Zhao from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also expressed their sincere support.

In addition, many media also reposted Lin Xiao's scarf.

It is also because of so much media attention that Lin Xiao's scarf is still on the hot search list.

In the end, more and more people paid attention to it, and the public opinion gradually heated up. The self-media never let go of such a popular news point. There are also several UP masters with millions of fans on station B. a key.

As a result, Lin Xiao's scarf was known even abroad, and in the end, it was even brought to a meeting by foreign dignitaries for discussion.

White House.

"President, President?"

Hearing several voices in his ears, the president opened his eyes.

After seeing the surrounding situation clearly, he realized that he was in a meeting now.

"Huh? Oh...cough cough, where did you talk?"

Seeing the president like this, the people around him were surprised.

Anyway, don't come to the big ones.

"What we are discussing now is the matter of that Lin Xiao. His recent remarks on the bib platform have aroused resonance in their country."

The Secretary of State said: "Last month, Asmail poached away a key expert in their X-ray project, but to our surprise, this Lin Xiao was not in a hurry because of this. Based on the collected information, Lin Xiao seems to have solved a key problem they faced, which is the lens technology for X-ray machines."

"We have analyzed before that once they can really make that kind of lens, they will probably really make an X-lithography machine that is on par with the EUV lithography machine we control! Even due to the characteristics of X-rays, their X-ray The lithography machine may be better than our EUV lithography machine!"

Speaking of this, the Secretary of State's face was very solemn, "Coupled with this Lin Xiao's recent reaction and remarks, this makes me even more suspicious that this matter may be true."

"And once this thing is true, we may have to consider the original C plan."

Hearing such serious words from the Secretary of State, everyone present showed serious expressions.

The president even showed a surprised expression: "What? They can really overcome this technology?"

At the beginning, he had read the evaluation report of their scientific expert consultant on the Huaguo X-ray project.

According to the evaluation of these experts, the success rate of the X-ray plan is less than 5%, and this success rate is mainly due to this lens.

Even those experts patted their chests at the beginning to guarantee that even if Lin Xiao solved the double workbench technology and then assembled all the parts, there would be no mistakes in the process, and there would be no incoordination due to structural problems, but It is impossible to manufacture their lenses

They even believe that it can never be created at all.

However, they only guaranteed it for a few months, and now there is news that Lin Xiao suspected to have created this lens material?

The president just wanted to say, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

The Secretary of State sighed and said, "We don't know the specific situation yet. We just learned a piece of news for the time being. Although most of their X-ray plan is public, some key information is still hidden."

The president frowned, and finally said simply: "Let Jack Theros come over and ask him again."

Jack Selos was the lithography expert who evaluated the success rate of the X-ray project. He used to work for Asmer. Before 2010, he was the lithography expert of Asmer. Development, until the first EUV lithography machine was developed, he retired and enjoyed the fame and status afterwards.

The president invited Jack Theros, who happened to be still in Washington, to the White House, in that conference room.

"Dear Mr. President, what do you want me to do?"

Looking at the room full of high-level White House officials and the president, Jack Theros didn't appear restrained. He saw an empty chair and knew that it was reserved for him, so he sat on it directly, and then tilted his head up. Erlang asked with a smile.

The president didn't care about Jack Theros's casual appearance, and said directly: "Mr. Theros, recently we received information that Lin Xiao may have created the kind of lens that can use the crystal diffraction effect to achieve stable zooming in and out of X-rays. "

"This is different from the assessment report you gave us last time."

Hearing this news, Jack Theros froze immediately with a smiling expression on his face, then he widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "How is it possible! That kind of material that has no reason at all, How could it be made?"

Seeing Jack Theros' reaction, the president and the others looked at each other. At least this shows that Jack Theros really doesn't believe that kind of material can be made.

They didn't care why Jack Theros didn't believe it. After all, he was an expert, but they weren't.

Then the president smiled and said, "Don't worry. I just said that it is possible. Strictly speaking, it should be suspected. The information we got is like this."

Hearing what the president said, Jack Theros breathed a sigh of relief, suspected?
That means there isn't one yet!

His expression finally returned to normal, and then he waved his hand and said: "That's no problem, I guess, after the news broke out some time ago, they deliberately released the news like a smoke bomb, specifically to confuse you Yes, there is no need to mess around, as I have said before, this kind of material is impossible to produce!"

"If you want to precisely control the diffraction of X-rays, you first need to design the molecular structure of the material, and then calculate the molecular structure that allows these molecules to stably diffract X-rays. Next, such a lens, at least One centimeter thick, right? And one centimeter thick means that there must be nearly one billion atoms, and then calculate its volume, oh! That’s less to say, it must be recorded in billions of billions. Such a huge amount of calculation, if Let the summit supercomputer not know how long it will take to calculate, not to mention, we don’t know how many times it will need to calculate!”

"The time required for this will probably be based on ten years! What's more, even if the structure is determined, it will take a long time to prepare it. It must be a new The structure is different from the ones we have discovered in the past, so I don’t know how long it will take, and the cost invested in it, I estimate that it is at least hundreds of billions of dollars!"

"They want to get it out so quickly? Unless a miracle happens, it's impossible!"

"So, Mr. President, you don't have to worry about such things that are completely unnecessary."

"If they can build something like this in five years, I'll just eat this table."

Jack Theros pointed to the large conference table in front of them and said humorously.

Everyone laughed, and the relaxed look of Jack Theros also made the president and others feel relieved involuntarily.

This kind of analysis is indeed not unreasonable. It is indeed possible that Lin Xiao and the others released false news, deliberately pretending to be calm and confusing them.

Thinking of Lin Xiao's recent performance, he was not worried about the Shan Tianbo incident at all, and even had the leisure to fight with them. It seems that if we understand it from this perspective, it can be regarded as that they are already strong outsiders, and Lin Xiao is on the bib platform The published text can also be seen as used to stabilize public opinion.

Thinking of this, the president completely relaxed.

That Lin Xiao was quite cunning, and actually did this kind of thing to scare him.

In fact, the president knew, but he didn't want to admit that Lin Xiao's past deeds made him really believe that Lin Xiao could succeed.

But of course he wouldn't admit to such a thing.

He changed the subject, so that he would not think about this embarrassing thing to say: "Hehe, if Mr. Theros said so, then I can rest assured, but I am quite curious, what kind of miracle must it be to let their Was the X-ray project a success?"

Jack Theros smiled, stretched out his first finger, and said, "The first thing is to find a mathematical formula that can fully describe the law of diffraction of waves, so as to reduce the original extremely complicated calculation amount to such a formula It can perfectly describe the calculation amount of diffraction, so that a variety of solutions can be found in a short period of time. Of course, this kind of formula does not exist. After all, it obviously requires us to understand the essential cause of diffraction, and This is something that the physics community has not been able to do. I admire Lin Xiao's ability to propose such a great theory as multidimensional field theory, but this kind of theory is obviously impossible. What's more, if he really discovered such a theory, he would have put it forward long ago. The paper was given to "Science", and I don't believe that anyone would give up such a huge honor, this is another theory that can win a Nobel Prize."

"Secondly, by an incredible coincidence, find a process method that can prepare this material, and this is obviously impossible. This requires luck, um... how should I put it, it is probably like buying a lottery ticket every day, Each lottery ticket has a probability of winning 100 million, and it will last for a year."

Hearing what Jack Theros said, everyone present laughed again, and the conference room was filled with joy for a moment.

Even because it was just time to get off work, the president greeted them, clinked glasses together, and discussed with Jack Theros to set up a semiconductor technology advisory group to give Jack Theros activities funds or something, of course in name It was activity funds. In fact, it was completely handed over to Jack Theros for personal use. Jack Theros naturally readily agreed. Although he had already made a lot of money, who would think it was too much money?

So that's it, both parties got what they wanted, and they no longer worried about whether the X-ray project would succeed. Anyway, it was impossible to make that kind of lens, so there was no need to worry.

until two weeks later.

……

Huaguo, inside the Dingguang Research Institute.

"We have successfully developed a new material that can stably utilize the diffraction effect of X-ray crystals. When X-rays pass through this new material, it will be able to diffract very stably and uniformly inside, and finally realize the X-ray crystal diffraction effect. Zoom in and out."

Facing the reporter from the New China News Agency, Zhao Sheng pointed to a gray-black round solid object placed on a soft cloth tray, and introduced it with a smile.

"And this is one of the last two puzzle pieces of our X-ray program."

"This means that the X-ray project is not far away from success."
