From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 304 100% Huaguo Chip
"I guess it should be that Warwick intends to invest in the X-ray project? 』

"Who knows?Huawei is now the company that needs chips the most in the world, right?Lin Shen is also the chief designer of the X-ray project, and the two of them had a secret conversation, so there must be something important. 』

"I think this secret talk is very suspicious. If it is really a secret talk, can the news be spread so easily? 』

"If you say this, it seems to be true. Now the Dingguang Research Institute ranks in the forefront of all research institutes in our country, and the things it researches are relatively advanced. They are basically classified as secret units. How can it be so easy to leak secret

"However, having said that, it seems that the X-ray project hasn't announced their progress for half a year, right?Could it be that talking to Warwick this time is about their progress? 』

"Don't make wild guesses. No matter how we guess, it's better to wait for others to announce the news. I believe Lin Shen will not let us down."

……

This incident has attracted the attention of many people.

After all, the X-ray project has been silent for a long time, especially since the Shan Tianbo incident, basically no news has been heard.

This once made netizens think that after Shan Tianbo left, it directly made it difficult for the X-ray project to continue.

Including the fact that Lin Xiao ran over to prove a Hodge conjecture later, which made many people think that Lin Xiao had chosen to give up, so he turned his attention back to mathematics.

And now after the news suddenly came again, many people who were already disappointed in their hearts couldn't help but have fantasies at this time.

As a result, under Lin Xiao's bib account, he received a lot of "door-to-door" inquiries from netizens.

However, to the disappointment of the netizens, Lin Xiao was still in the dark, and did not respond on the scarf.

Therefore, netizens can only give up and look forward to hearing good news one day.

It's just that Lin Xiao didn't respond. Although the netizens who supported him were disappointed, they didn't say anything. But at this time, there were many disharmonious remarks. Taking advantage of this time, they began to spread all kinds of ugly words.

"Hehe, don't get your hopes up, there's been no news for several months, what can't be explained?I was blowing about the X-ray project before, and I was blowing about the RDX sci-fi material, and then I left alone and stopped talking?Just want to build an X-lithography machine?I’m thinking about dreaming all day now』

"It's just that people in China like to brag. They start bragging before things are successful, and then they become dumb when something goes wrong. Isn't it just like dogs of a feather who start to cherish each other when Warwick finds Lin Xiao?"After developing 5G, they boasted about 5G, and they talked about 5G leaders, but as soon as they were sanctioned, they disappeared. Now this bullshit X-ray plan is also the same. It was so awesome before, but now there is no sound at all. Can you learn from others? Foreign?If you succeed, blow it again, okay? 』

"..."

A bunch of malicious comments suddenly appeared, and the viciousness of the words made everyone who read these comments feel extremely disgusted.

"Damn it, after reading these stupid comments, my whole blood pressure was high, and I almost didn't have a cerebral hemorrhage. What kind of person is this, and things that are beneficial to the country are belittled. Now the country is designed by foreign people, and then Again, cynicism, 250 yuan to go through the process of renunciation of nationality is difficult, isn't it? 』

"What is the difference between this kind of person and 50 people?What is there to say to this kind of person who is still kneeling. 』

"It's really strange that there are people every year, especially this year. Do you know the significance of the success of the X-ray project?"Let me tell you one thing. When there were no domestic memory sticks, foreign manufacturers such as Samsung were either flooded or burned, and then a memory stick rose to 700 yuan. I bought a graphics card, but after the domestic memory sticks came out, do you think that foreign manufacturers have done this kind of thing?

As long as the X-ray project is successful, we will all have the opportunity to use cheaper chips in the future, and the price of each mobile phone may be reduced by hundreds of yuan because of this. The most important thing is that we will no longer be subject to foreign countries.

I have every reason to believe that this kind of person who is still speaking badly is a traitor, or a foreign spy, and it is only this kind of person who does not want our country to be better.』

"I totally agree with the above. This kind of person only dares to bully Lai Lai online. If he let me know the way to his house in real life, he will have to be sent to the hospital tonight."

"..."

A scolding war broke out on the Internet, but this is obviously normal for the Internet.

Of course, this kind of scolding war can be started because of the gradual establishment of the common sense of discrimination and self-confidence of the people of Huaguo.

Otherwise, if it was still a society where public knowledge was rampant more than ten years ago, most of the people in this scolding battle would probably be the ones who think that the X-ray project is not good.

Of course, perhaps it is the self-confidence gradually built up by the people that caused foreign forces to change from the method of using public knowledge to infiltrate, and to use various methods today to provoke social conflicts.

Now the way of provoking conflicts with the lack of follow-up voices of the X-ray project has obviously been used by these foreign forces.

As for who these foreign forces are, it is not known.

……

White House.

Office of the President.

"For this matter, have those intelligence agencies investigated anything?"

The President asked the Secretary of State.

And what he asked was exactly what Warwick was looking for for the X-ray project.

The Secretary of State sighed helplessly, and said, "Not for the time being. Warwick's secrecy is relatively strong, and we haven't found anything about the X-ray project."

"The only thing we know now is that the place where the X-ray project is carried out, that is, the Dingguang Research Institute, has built a first-class dust-free workshop, which is specially prepared for integrated circuits at the micron level and below."

The president frowned suddenly.

Huaguo's X-ray project specially built a first-class dust-free workshop?
Are they going to start making chips?
"Say, what does this mean?"

The Secretary of State replied: "This is not something we should be too worried about, because our intelligence indicates that their first-level clean room has been under construction since the beginning of the light plan, so this does not mean that they Building this workshop represents their success."

"It's just that the only thing that puzzles me is that after they built this workshop, we observed that more freight vehicles entered the Dingguang Research Institute, especially among them, many of the freight vehicles were of the kind that transported key components. special vehicles."

"In addition, in the recent period, we have observed that many special freight vehicles have entered the Dingguang Research Institute. According to our determination, they include the etching machines produced by their China Microelectronics Company."

The president expressed doubts, "Etcher?"

"The etching machine is the second most important equipment for semiconductor production. Even in recent years, those chip foundries have spent more on purchasing etching machines than photolithography machines. The etching machines produced by their Huawei Semiconductor Company are technically They are also world-class, and we cannot restrict them in this regard, and they have also mastered key patented technologies."

The Secretary of State said, "That's what makes me wonder, though, why would they buy an etcher if their X-ray machine hasn't been built yet?"

The Secretary of State also frowned deeply.

Could it be that Lin Xiao deliberately used this to deceive them?

Make them think too much?
The president was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Do you think it is possible that they have built what they call an X-ray machine?"

The Secretary of State immediately shook his head: "It's impossible, they can't be so fast, just like they haven't announced that they have successfully created the double-workbench technology."

"What if they hid the news?" the president said.

The Secretary of State still said: "The probability of this is very small. Every time they have a major breakthrough in the X-ray program, they will definitely announce the news in time, especially the dual-table technology. Once they succeed, they will definitely announce it immediately, and from this Respond to the doubts from the outside world, after all, because of the departure of their important scientist named Shan Tianbo, they have encountered a lot of doubts from the outside world."

But the more the President heard what the Secretary of State said, the more he felt uneasy, and said, "Are you sure? This matter is related to our global strategy."

The Secretary of State patted his chest and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my Mr. President. Regarding this, I can guarantee with my position that they will not be able to build a complete lithography machine in a short period of time."

Seeing the assurance from the Secretary of State, the President stopped talking and nodded, "Then I hope your judgment is correct until our Plan C is successfully implemented."

The Secretary of State nodded, and said very relaxedly: "Of course, just rest assured, even if they really made it, they would not have the corresponding production technology to make good use of their light." Keji, this matter is not that easy."

"Well, that's what I said."

The president nodded. Indeed, as the Secretary of State said, there is still the most critical production process. If they haven't solved this matter, what if a lithography machine is built?
And after their plan C is successful, all of this will not be a problem.

……

In addition to the White House, there are many foreign forces who have paid attention to this incident. For example, Asmail is also very concerned. Of course, like the Secretary of State, there are many people who do not believe that the X-ray project will succeed so quickly. .

No one would think that the X-ray project can continue normally after running away with a general

But no one would have thought that the X-ray project would continue and had reached the final stage.

……

October 2022st, today is the National Day in [-].

People who have entered the holidays have started their own entertainment, traveling for tourism, gathering for parties, clubbing for clubs, without the troubles of the epidemic, the society is still thriving.

At the same time, Dingguang Research Institute, a first-class clean room.

Unlike the workshop one and a half months ago, when the workshop was still empty, this time, the newly added "furniture" almost filled the workshop.

These new "furnitures" are naturally the indispensable machines in the chip production process that Lin Xiao bought at the beginning.

Etching machines, particle dormers, oxidation furnaces, deposition equipment...

All kinds of equipment, etc., make the whole workshop look a lot more upscale.

At this time, Lin Xiao was standing at the front in a relatively empty place in the workshop, and what he was facing was everyone in the X-ray project.

Facing so many people present, he raised a loudspeaker in his hand and said, "Today is our first official tape-out."

"Similarly, it will also be the first day when our lithography machine is officially started."

"And starting today, we will present our country with the first chip made by ourselves!"

"I won't talk nonsense anymore. Everyone, go back to your posts and start your first job!"

Everyone present responded excitedly: "Yes!"

Then, they quickly dispersed, went to their respective posts, and prepared to start their first taping.

Tape-out is a key step in chip production. Simply put, it is the trial production of chips.

Of course, generally speaking, tape-out is for chip design companies. Whether the designed chips can achieve the expected performance is very important to chip design companies. Failure to tape-out means that they have to redesign the chip.

Lin Xiao and the others are obviously not designing chips now. After all, the Kirin 9000 they are going to produce is already a very successful chip. Their taping out is to verify whether their production process can produce chips.

Of course, Lin Xiao is very confident about this.

Soon, everyone stood at their posts, waiting for the order to start the machine.

At this time, Lin Xiao was already standing beside the main switch.

Next to him, Yang Kaiping, Chen Yuanchun, Kong Huaan, etc., everyone looked at Lin Xiao.

Wait for him to pull the most critical switch.

Lin Xiao closed his eyes, and after a moment of waiting, he pulled the switch in his hand.

In the workshop, all equipment is powered on.

Then, the staff standing in their respective positions started their work.

A silicon wafer is evenly coated with photoresist, then put into their X-lithography machine, transported to the workbench through the mechanical arm, then scanned, and then the photolithography begins.

The invisible and colorless X-rays, carrying huge energy, pass through the RDX pure silicon crystal lens and shine on the photoresist.

Those beams of X-rays, transformed into 3.56nm knives, carved nanometer cities on the plain silicon wafers.

The dense nano-tall buildings have been "dug out". If you look at it from the perspective of an atom, then this is probably a cyberpunk city.

And if you look at it from a human perspective, a technological creation that represents the crystallization of all human wisdom was born.

Similarly, this is also a 100% domestic chip.
