Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 89: The Underground Laboratory

Zhao Ye only stayed at home for two days before returning to the joint factory.

During this period of time, the research institute next to it was no longer full of people's voices all day long like before.Although it is still under construction, Zhao Ye can return to his "Eight Room Laboratory" again.

It was Factory Director Yang who informed him that Zhao Ye was ready to work here, and he could come back anytime.

Zhao Ye bid farewell to his family and rushed to the joint factory early in the morning.When he came to his little world under the leadership of the security department, it was already separated by two walls.

The "eight rooms" that Zhao Ye originally chose were in a corner of the factory, but now, two walls have been added to this corner.Next to the gate of the factory, the security department is in charge of standing guard.A duty room has been specially added here.

After entering, there is an open space in the middle, next to another door, there is also a duty room, but soldiers with guns are on duty.

Zhao Ye was a little surprised. When did the security level increase?Why doesn't he know?
After seeing Zhao Ye's certificate, he was let go, and no one from the security department followed him in.

Zhao Ye walked into this strange yet familiar place, and looked at the enclosed five-acre yard, feeling happy inside!After this, isn't it my territory?

Near the previous eight houses, two rows of houses were built, and it seemed that there were more than [-] houses.At the door of one of the houses, several people were on duty there.

When the soldiers on duty saw Zhao Ye approaching, they immediately greeted him.

"You are Comrade Zhao Ye, right? Hello, I am the monitor of the security squad here, Zhao Dashuan." The visitor walked up to Zhao Ye and said salutingly.

"I still have a guard class here?" Zhao Ye was surprised. This is not a secret research institute, so why is he assigned this?

Zhao Dashuan didn't answer, but went on to say: "Our task is to ensure the safety of the personnel here, as well as guarding the laboratory equipment. Do you want to go to the laboratory to see?"

"Uh! Okay." Zhao Ye was confused, so he could only promise the other party to take a look.

In one of the newly built houses, Zhao Dashuan took out the key and opened the door.

Zhao Ye went in and took a look, and immediately smiled.

This is not an ordinary house, but a ramp extending down, and there are not too wide steps in the middle of the ramp for people to walk on.

Going down, there is a door more than three meters wide.The door is thick and looks like iron from the outside.

Zhao Dashuan operated and pulled the door open forcefully.Then he turned on the light switch by the wall, and the inside lit up instantly.

The whole building is built with bricks and stones, and there are some concrete beams and columns in some places.The overall area is no matter how two thousand square meters, divided into three passage styles, each passage is about ten meters wide and 50 meters long.

According to Zhao Dashuan, at the other end of the passage, there is another door leading to the opposite research institute.

Zhao Ye did tell Director Yang before that he wanted an underground space.This is because it is difficult to achieve constant temperature, humidity and light protection in the above-ground rooms.His next research direction is a lithography machine that can process real chips, which is much more refined than the first generation he made.

Although it still cannot be separated from the scope of manual operation, the stability of the entire device, the natural light of the environment, the temperature and humidity of the environment, etc. must have a controllable range.No matter what Zhao Ye thinks about, there is no more suitable place in this era than the basement.At least this cost is the lowest.

Zhao Ye walked around, selected an area to be his experiment site, and began to greet a few soldiers to help him move things.

This is a heavy laboratory bench, the countertops are all natural marble.Therefore, Zhao Ye just removed some tools and equipment.

Sitting in this basement, Zhao Ye felt really good, at least he didn't have to endure the high temperature outside.Moreover, the waterproof here is well done, and there is no feeling of being too cloudy.

The preparatory work has been done for him in the factory, so he has to get into work as soon as possible.

Zhao Ye gradually sank his consciousness into the space, and started various experiments in it.

For a scientific researcher, Zhao Ye's space skills are invaluable.

He can look up information at the speed of light, build an experimental product out of his imagination, and then do various experiments in front of his eyes, and the experimental data can be fed back to him immediately.

His biggest task now is to determine the structure, material, and production process of the register.

With these, everything has a direction, otherwise, the work of those people above will be in vain.

In principle, this is not such a complicated thing.It is to "dig" a pit on the silicon crystal plate, then fill it with some special materials, and then cover this "filled pit" with a layer of insulator!This insulator can also effectively isolate the electromagnetic environment of the filler.Guarantee that it can maintain the charge after the power is cut off.

Because the computer is the language of binary, the basis of binary is whether the material has high electric charge or low electric charge.

A high charge represents a "1" and a low charge represents a "0".These 0s and 1s constitute our information world, which is almost the soul and the whole of the information world.

Registers and memory, like hard disks, are used to store data.But they have huge differences in structure and function.

The hard disk and memory will not be mentioned for the time being, but the register must ensure that the data "written" in it can ensure that the data in it will not "miss" when the power is not turned on for a long time.In the process of use, its access speed must be fast enough.

The most important thing is that the volume should be as small as possible, because it is to be arranged inside the chip.

So how can it be made smaller?
This requires smaller components and storage materials that make up it!
To achieve this goal, the first-generation lithography machines are no longer applicable.

Zhao Ye called up the model of the first-generation lithography machine in the mental space, and with a thought, the "lithography machine" was broken down into individual components.

In the previous design, the ultraviolet light was designed to be flat, so this time, for the sake of smaller precision, Zhao Ye had to use a lens to refract the light.

This is easy to understand. In fact, after the light passes through the template, it passes through a convex lens, and then the light is refracted to a smaller range before hitting the silicon wafer below.

It is not a simple matter to add a lens, because when light passes through any lens, it must be attenuated.That is, light is "absorbed" partly by the lens.

And because the convex lens is a lens with uneven thickness, the light at different positions will take different paths when passing through the lens, and the degree of attenuation will be different after passing through the lens.So for the silicon wafer at the bottom, it is a world of ice and fire.

It's like stir-frying, the fire under the pot is uneven, some parts of the dishes in the pot will be burnt, and some parts are still raw.The key is you can't stir it!

So how to make the "fire" even?The answer is the lens set!

We can't just use one lens, but multiple different lenses stacked together.To balance the energy intensity of light.

This is still a micron-level process. If it reaches the nanometer level, the process will be completely different.

At this time, the lithography machine and the nano-level lithography machine can only be said to be similar in principle.

Zhao Ye sat here all day today.The guards watched from a distance several times, but they didn't notice that Zhao Ye had moved.Those who didn't know it thought that Zhao Ye fell asleep sitting up.

Through the blessing of system capabilities, coupled with the assistance of some system data.Zhao Ye once again started to write a thesis with the attitude of "expert".

Regarding the entire lens group, he had to come up with a complete set of design plans, as well as a theoretical paper on the plans.It must first be proved in theory that this design scheme has experimental value.

In this way, he can ask the factory or research team to cooperate with his factory to process the lenses he needs.

This is not an easy task. From the glass production of the lens to the grinding process, it is a series of problems.

That is to say, the final precision Zhao Ye relaxed a little bit. If the mirror grinding master is to process this, the quality rate is really worrying, so he can only do it by himself.

But even though there is a gap in all aspects of the industrial level in this era, Zhao Ye also did not give up assigning tasks to the factories below.This is the cultivation of the system. You may not meet the design requirements in the end, but you must always maintain the motivation for technological progress.

Zhao Dashuan saw that Zhao Ye had stayed here for a whole day, and he didn't move even when it was dark.He was really afraid that something might happen to Zhao Ye, so he had no choice but to come over and interrupt Zhao Ye's thinking.

"Comrade Zhao Ye?" Zhao Dashuan called out cautiously.

"Oh? What's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Zhao Ye turned his head curiously, and glanced at Zhao Dashuan beside him.

"Oh, it's okay. I think it's getting dark, and you haven't eaten all day. Would you like me to get you something to eat?" Zhao Dashuan felt relieved when he saw that Zhao Ye was still able to talk.

"Ah! It's getting dark?" Zhao Ye wanted to get up, but after sitting for a whole day, his legs and feet were somewhat uncontrollable.

He shook his body, and quickly supported the experimental table with his hands.

Zhao Dashuan also took two steps forward and gave Zhao Ye a hand.He kept reminding him to move slowly, he had been sitting for too long.

Looking at the large pile of manuscripts in front of him, Zhao Dashuan was really impressed.He is not well-educated, so I really can't figure out how he could write so many characters all at once.

Zhao Ye moved slowly for a while, let his legs get used to it, and walked out of the basement.

The materials are also locked in a large iron cabinet. This safe is guarded 24 hours a day and is very safe.

Zhao Ye, who was standing on the ground, looked at his watch, it was almost nine o'clock.It stands to reason that he should go back to spend time with his family, after all, after these two months, it will not be easy for them to see each other again.

But it's really not enough time, he has too much work now, and today he only wrote a small part of the materials, and there are more tasks waiting for him.
