From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 300 No One Knows Better Than Me
Although Lin Xiao's interview was still a bit outrageous, the CCTV reporter happily went back with the interview record.

After the interview, there were still some entertainments, but Lin Xiao rejected them all.

Although the status of the people who invited him is quite high, he is not afraid of making others feel dissatisfied after pushing him down.

Anyway, he is a scientific researcher, and the Dingguang Research Institute is there, so no matter how high someone else's status is, can it affect his continued research?
Not to mention that with his current status, he no longer needs to care about others.

So, An An returned to Yanbei Garden with peace of mind, and he took a good rest for a day to prepare for the work ahead.

As for what to do next, it was naturally the final step of the X-ray project.

Assemble.

……

The night passed.

After a good night's rest, Lin Xiao got into the car driven by Shi Hao with full energy and went to Dingguang Research Institute.

The other three Zhonghai bodyguards who protected him before going to St. Petersburg with him naturally returned to their original posts. After all, they have all returned to China, which is naturally much safer than abroad. There are many people around.

Soon, when they arrived at Dingguang Research Institute, looking at this long-lost research institute that belonged to him, Lin Xiao didn't have time to express his feelings, but let Shi Hao drive the car to the side of a newly built building.

This building is the new dust-free workshop of their research institute.

Strictly speaking, it is a lithography machine assembly-test dust-free workshop.

The structure of this kind of clean room is slightly different from that of ordinary clean rooms. In addition to the clean environment, the foundation is also different.

Their foundations use extremely dense and heavy metal materials.

This kind of foundation, which is heavier than ordinary buildings, makes the whole car have higher performance in terms of stability and impact resistance.

For example, in the dormitory, when a heavyweight roommate gets off the upper bunk, you may feel the ground shake, but in this clean room, this kind of thing will not happen, basically you will not feel anything shock.

As for why this kind of dust-free workshop is needed, it is naturally for the stability of the operation of the lithography machine.

As an instrument with working precision at the nanometer level, its requirements for stability can be called the highest in the world, and any vibration may cause instability during operation.

Of course, the cost of such a clean room is naturally very high.

However, it is all for making lithography machines, so there is no need to care about these costs.

Soon, Lin Xiao got out of the car and came to the door of the workshop.

After entering the door is the office area, not counting the interior of the workshop.

As Huaguo's first workshop for testing ultra-high-precision lithography machines, this office area is relatively large, capable of conducting various data tests, and there is also a conference room that can accommodate Lin Xiao to hold the core meeting of the X-ray project.

Soon, after Lin Xiao walked in, people in the office area saw him, they all got up and shouted respectfully: "Mr. Lin!"

Seeing this chief designer whom he hadn't seen for a long time, all the people present were deeply moved.

With the spare time of their X-ray project, they solved a world-class math problem by the way. Who else could do it except their Chief Teacher Lin?

The deputy chief designer Yang Kaiping was also here. After seeing Lin Xiao, he greeted with a smile: "Oh, Huo Guess is okay, Professor Lin, you are here."

Hearing Yang Kaiping's voice, Lin Xiao turned his head to look, then laughed and said, "How do you know?"

Yang Kaiping laughed, "Why can't I know? I saw the news this morning, and you are amazing. For such a difficult guess, you rated it as 'okay'."

"What's more, 'it was difficult for a month', 'it took nearly four months' and so on. I used to take any subject for a year or a half, but it's different for you."

Lin Xiao said with a smile: "Back then, Einstein published five papers a year. On average, one paper was published every 2.4 months. I'm still a little short."

Yang Kaiping: "..."

You are awesome.

You are already against Einstein, so I have nothing to say.

"Ahem, forget it, I won't tell you anymore, you haven't been here for so long, now I have to tell you about our current situation."

"Well, let's go in and talk."

Lin Xiao said.

Then, they entered the office and started talking.

"First of all, Chen Yuanchun and his team have built double worktables based on the drawings you gave, and now they have built five workbenches. After testing, the accuracy and stability have reached the standard, and they are now in our workshop. .”

Speaking of this, Yang Kaiping recalled the situation when they tested the five double workbenches. When they saw that their double workbenches could easily operate with his established precision, everyone in their entire workshop was shocked. I don’t know how long I’ve been celebrating for this, but it’s a pity that Lin Xiao, the chief designer and designer of these double workbenches, was attending the International Conference of Mathematicians at the time, so he couldn’t participate, which made the scene a little less commemorative.

Of course, compared with the lithography machine they are about to build, there is no need to care about the commemorative significance.

He continued: "Then there are other components, all of which are ready, which means that we are now waiting for the machine to be installed!"

Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

Finally, the X-ray machine that has been waiting for so long is about to be born.

As the chief designer, he has been looking forward to it for a long time.

"only……"

But at this moment, Yang Kaiping showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Just what?" Lin Xiao wondered, could there be any surprises?
Yang Kaiping sighed and said, "We are running out of funds."

"This dust-free workshop has spent a lot of money, and it also needs to spend a lot of money to maintain a constant temperature and dust-free maintenance every day. In addition, we only need Except for the ten units built, ten sets of other components are basically ordered, but our original 50 billion budget has basically bottomed out. This is because we still have a lot of payment for the goods and have not paid it. "

"So... if the funds are gone, we won't be able to proceed."

Speaking of this, Yang Kaiping showed a look of helplessness, a dime would be difficult for a hero, let alone a scientific research project like theirs that was supposed to cost money.

Ordinary dust-free workshops, such as 30-class clean workshops, are not so expensive, about 1000 yuan per square meter. Their workshop has about 2000 square meters, so they can only spend 30 million yuan at most, but The [-]-class clean room is the lowest clean room, just an ordinary clean room, not even a food processing class.

The cost of a [-]-class dust-free workshop of the food processing level is almost [-] per square meter.

And their clean room for integrated circuit manufacturing, not to mention the solid metal casting foundation under their feet, their clean room alone is the top-level clean room.

As for the cost of a first-class dust-free workshop, the price is directly tens of thousands, not to mention that their workshop also requires a constant temperature system, which needs to keep the temperature constant at 21 degrees Celsius, otherwise, even if It is an error of one degree, and the whole lithography machine has to change at the nanometer level, so this is another huge expense.

In this way, it will directly cost hundreds of millions, or even close to one billion. Therefore, they really have no money now.

So why does semiconductor research and development cost money? It takes so much money to build a [-]-square-meter dust-free workshop, let alone other research and development.

However, this seems like a huge problem to Yang Kaiping, but after Lin Xiao listened to it, he only said: "That's it?"

Yang Kaiping: "... Isn't that enough?"

Lin Xiao patted Yang Kaiping with a smile, and said, "It's small, the layout is small."

"I thought it was a big problem, just no money!"

Then he directly took out his mobile phone and called Ma Gaoliang: "Director Ma, our X-ray project is out of money...well, call another billion...OK, okay, okay, then hang up. Okay, okay, bye."

Putting down the phone, Lin Xiao gestured "OK" to Yang Kaiping, "It's over, just check the account when the time comes, it should be there soon."

Yang Kaiping was stunned: "This is... a billion?"

"Otherwise, one billion yuan should be enough, Director Ma has always been quite generous." Lin Xiao said as it should.

Yang Kaiping was even more speechless: "That guy Ma Gaoliang is still generous? We used to apply for a project funding or something, as long as he can manage it, he has to review it for a long time, so stingy."

Lin Xiao: "...the Ma Gaoliang you mentioned and the Director Ma I mentioned are the same person?"

Yang Kaiping rolled his eyes: "Besides Ma Gaoliang from the Science and Technology Bureau, who else could it be?"

"Uh... well, probably this Director Ma has a dual personality, and he will show his generous side when he gives me money."

Yang Kaiping: "..."

Suddenly he remembered, who is this in front of him? That's Lin Xiao. Isn't it normal to make the application for funding easier?

Comparing Ma Gaoliang to a goddess, and then these scientists are the spare tires, and then Lin Xiao is tall, rich and handsome, and then he becomes the spare tire licking the goddess, and the goddess licking the rich second generation.

He patted his head, and said helplessly: "Forget it, I won't tell you, do you want to go in and have a look now?"

Anyway, if the funding problem is solved, then there is no need to worry about other things. After that, they will just come here with a lot of money.

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

Lin Xiao nodded, then got up, left the office with Yang Kaiping, and walked towards the real workshop inside.

Before entering the workshop, they first came to the wind room, and the huge wind blown away all the dust and other things on their bodies.

After blowing for about a minute, the air outlet stopped, and then they entered the dressing room, where there were disposable clean clothes. After they changed, they came to the real entrance and walked in.

In the clean room, the biggest source of pollution is the people who enter from the outside, so before entering, they all need to go through such steps to enter.

After entering the workshop, what greets the eyes is a very spacious space, which contains many mechanical equipment, and among them are five mechanical instruments that have been built, which look very large.

These five things are obviously the X-ray machine they are building.

Because five double-workbenches were built, only five of them could be built for the first assembly of the lithography machine.

Of course, as long as they can succeed, they can prepare for mass production.

At that time, Huaguo, the world's factory and the country with the most complete industrial system, will be fully operational to provide assistance for the production of X-lithography.

Looking at the five mechanical instruments, Lin Xiao couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked over quickly.

Machinery is a man's romance, especially the lithography machine that has not yet been installed with a casing. The complicated mechanical structure inside is the most complicated in the world.

When the surrounding engineers and mechanics saw Lin Xiao, they immediately shouted: "Mr. Lin!"

"Well, hello everyone."

Lin Xiao nodded to them, and then asked, "How long will it take to install it?"

"Estimated maybe until early September," replied a mechanic.

"Early September?"

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, and it would be very difficult to realize the completion of the National Day that he planned with the subsequent commissioning work.

Although it does not necessarily have to be completed on the National Day, it is always better to be able to complete the work on the National Day.

"Can't it be earlier?"

He said.

The mechanic showed helplessness on his face: "We all want to, but now we work from morning to night every day, with limited manpower, and this lithography machine is too troublesome to assemble, although the precision of these parts is not as high as The double workbench and the optical path system need to reach the nanometer level, but there is also a slight trace, this speed is really not up to speed."

Hearing what the mechanic said, Lin Xiao didn't say anything, and if he asked again, it would be a bit difficult for others.

However, when he turned his head and glanced at the machines next to him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "If you don't have enough manpower, then add me."

All the people present were stunned.

"Master Lin, you want to do this..." The mechanic thought he heard it wrong.

"Why, can't it?" Lin Xiao frowned, and said: "I am also the inventor of the eight-point structure, and I also drew the structure of the lithography machine you installed, no kidding, no one, than I know more about X-ray machines."

He made the appearance of playing an accordion with both hands, with a very serious expression.
