Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 686 Chong, the world's first echelon! 【Ask monthly ticket】

Wang Xing didn't know if Lu Yiming was telling the truth, but it didn't really matter, as long as Lu Yiming could really invest in building this science and technology museum, it would be better than anything else.

"Xiaobao, check to see if Ding Gao, Mu Guang, and Zhou Kun are at work today, and if they are, call them over."

"Ok."

Bao Zijun nodded slightly, and then left.

After ten minutes, he came in with three people.

Ding Gao is an expert in inertial technology and precision instruments. He has long been engaged in the development of gyroscopes, accelerometers, and inertial platform systems for guided weapons.

Mother Light is engaged in the research of optics and applied optics, image science, optical design and optical information processing technology. In 1983, he successfully studied the technology of shooting color images with black and white film.

Zhou Kun is an expert in laser and optoelectronics technology, the chairman of the National Optical Society, and is engaged in the research of lasers and optoelectronics.

After the introduction, Lu Yiming was only worth the money. The people in front of him were all top experts in the professional field, and he was immediately very polite.

"Hello, teachers."

These three people were all at the academician level. If Wang Hongsheng hadn't brought Lu Yiming over, Lu Yiming basically had no chance to get in touch with them.

Facing Lu Yiming, the richest man in Asia, the three of them were also very polite.After all, they need big money to invest in their research.Relying on state funding alone is enough to do experiments.

After some exchanges, Lu Yiming said: "Everyone, I plan to establish the Xiaguo Optical Engineering Society. I invite the three of you, and Mr. Wang, to be consultants of this engineering society. I don't know what you want?"

In developed countries, it is very common to set up various societies and trade unions, almost in all walks of life.Lu Yiming also planned to follow suit.

Once there is a society, it is tantamount to having an organization, resources and talents can be integrated and circulated, and problems can be unanimously communicated.

However, Ding Gao and the others didn't seem to like Lu Yiming's proposal.

"I'm afraid we don't have time for this. We are too busy with work."

"Yes, I still have several research topics in my hands, and I don't have the energy to participate in other things."

For people at their level, they have to undertake national tasks in their hands, so how can they have time to manage what kind of society?
This is also the reason why there are very few professional organizations like Xia Guo.

Those who are really capable are too busy, and this kind of learning cannot be done without the leadership of industry leaders.

Facing the refusal of the three people, Lu Yiming explained: "Three, you have misunderstood. This society will definitely not take up your time. You don't need to clock in to work, it's just a name. I will send a professional team to manage the society. .Every month's salary will be sent directly to your bank account, absolutely no trouble."

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, the three of them looked at Lu Yiming with strange eyes.

There are only three words in that look.

"What are you planning?"

Wang Xing couldn't help but asked directly: "What is the purpose of establishing this society?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "The purpose of establishing the Optical Engineering Society is to promote the development of the optical industry in our country. Although I am a layman, I also want to contribute to the optical research of our country."

Seeing Lu Yiming's sincerity, Wang Xing and the other three academicians no longer refused, and could only agree to the invitation.

You don't have to do anything every month, and it's good to be a white-collar worker.

But for Lu Yiming, spending this money is not a loss at all.

After all, if you run into a problem with a lithography machine, if you have the cheek to ask a few big bosses for "consultation", you can't just ignore my problem, right?
To Lu Yiming, it is a trivial matter to engage in scientific research and tackle problems that can be solved with money.

If you can't find someone who can solve the problem at the critical moment, that is the real big trouble.

After a few days, it became known that Lu Yiming funded the Optical Science and Technology Museum of Xia Ke Academy.

Outsiders don't know the truth, they just think that this guy Lu Yiming swelled after he became the richest man in Asia. He has so much money that he doesn't know how to spend it. He went to build some kind of science and technology museum.
In fact, the reason why Lu Yiming wanted to satisfy Wang Xing's wish to build a science and technology museum was not only to reward Wang Xing, but also to buy a horse bone with a thousand dollars.

Or to be more direct, Lu Yiming regarded this science and technology museum as a stepping stone, and never thought about making money or not.

It's like those real estate companies are all keen to build football teams. Could it be that these rich capitalists love football deeply?

Don't be ridiculous, spend hundreds of millions every year to raise a group of waste materials, isn't it good to raise young models with this money?

It's nothing more than someone likes it, so it's profitable to do what it likes.

And what Lu Yiming is doing now is the same thing. Compared with raising a football team, Lu Yiming is actually not very opposed to building a science and technology museum. After all, it is also promoting science.

After staying in the capital for half a month, Lu Yiming was either throwing coins, or on his way to throwing coins.

I even took the time to fly to Kyrgyzstan to visit the Changqing Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics.Wang Xing was the first director of the Changqing Institute of Optics and Mechanics, and under his leadership, Xia Guo laid a solid foundation for his optical career.

Of course, the visit is not the main thing, this time, Lu Yiming came rushing to poach the wall.

Although Wang Xing is no longer the director here, he is the patriarch after all.

Everyone in the Changqing Institute of Optical Engineering counts as one, who is not Wang Xing's disciple and grandson?
So Lu Yiming was not polite at all, and directly gave Lin Benjian a list and asked him to scout people.

Lin Benjian looked at the long list in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed: "Boss Lu, have you hired all these people?"

"Dig as much as you have."

"That's not good."

"Hmph, what's the problem? I spent so much money, is it really for good people and good deeds? You have to let me pay back? In short, you can rest assured that you can boldly poach people, pay them, and just show them off. Let me see who dares to beep. Anyway, as long as we are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

Lu Yiming said it categorically, after all he paid for the road, so he couldn't return empty-handed.

The result of this was that as soon as Lu Yiming returned to the capital from the Changqing Institute of Optical Mechanics, Jia Ping, the director of the Changqing Institute of Optical Mechanics, called to complain to Wang Xing.

"Wang Suo, this Leaping Optics is too much, you have to help me make the decision."

This voice startled Wang Xing directly, thinking that Lu Yiming and the others had done something outrageous behind his back, so he quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Ping complained: "Wang Suo, this Lexus Optics is frantically poaching people from me, do you know? I have more than a dozen resignation letters in my office at work today, and I am numb!"

Hearing that it was poaching, Wang Xing laughed: "Lu Yiming is doing a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Let him poach as many people as you want, and he won't lose a few pieces of meat."

Jia Ping complained, "You don't know, old director. Lu Yiming didn't dig a few people. According to his digging method, there are almost not many people left in our Institute of Optics and Mechanics. It can't be completely terminated here." Root, right? So the optical machine won’t turn on in the future?”

After some understanding, Wang Xingcai was speechless to find out that Lu Yiming poached a lot of people, directly offering ten times or even twenty times the salary, as long as he nodded, he would arrange to settle in Zhonghai, and he would also give away a house - at least [-] square meters starting Five bedrooms.

Using this condition to test scientific research workers, which scientific research worker can withstand this test?

Therefore, the talents of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, from the mentors leading the team to the ordinary "research dogs", were basically abducted by Lu Yiming and Lin Benjian to Lixiao Optics.

You must know that the most important property of a research institute is not the equipment, but the people who can use the equipment.

Instruments and equipment cost money and can always be bought, but talents cannot be bought with money.

Especially the researchers at the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, which one is not an extremely talented genius in physics and mathematics?

And those experienced mentors, once poached away, it is tantamount to making the Institute of Optics and Mechanics lose its hematopoietic ability, and there will be no successors from then on.

Back then, Changqing Institute of Optics and Mechanics was just an instrument hall when it was first established, and then it was renamed the Institute of Optical Precision Instruments.

And the current director is a "little comrade" back then. He worked hard with Wang Xing from scratch for half his life before he achieved the current glory of Changqing Optical Machinery Institute.

Not only is it a leading optical scientific research institution in China, but even if you look at the world, it is by no means an unknown person.

At least occasional international academic conferences on optics are also acceptable.

But now Lu Yiming actually came up with the idea of ​​the Institute of Optical Engineering, wielding a hoe and crazily digging up the walls of the Institute, which made the director a little intolerable.

Knowing this situation, Wang Xing couldn't sit still, so he called Lu Yiming immediately.

"I just received a call from Director Jia of the Changqing Institute of Optical Mechanics. You bastard, you are holding a chicken feather as an arrow. You want to move the Institute of Optical Mechanics to Zhonghai."

When Lu Yiming heard that this was the case, he was right, and teased, "I think so too, or..."

Before Lu Yiming could finish speaking, Wang Xing immediately interrupted him and said, "You really dare to think!"

Wang Xing naturally couldn't agree to this kind of thing, after all, many research projects of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics are also very important.

If it wasn't for Lu Yiming's intention to build a lithography machine, Wang Xing would have turned his back on him long ago.

You must know that his words can be heard by Datian, and it is not easy for private companies to poach people from a state-owned scientific research institution like Changqing Institute of Optical Machinery.

Just transferring files can get you stuck.

To put it bluntly, it was Wang Xing who gave Lu Yiming and Li Xiaoguang the green light.

It's just that Wang Xing underestimated the extent of Lu Yiming's shamelessness, so he suffered a big loss in this.

Facing the bearded and staring Wang Xing, Lu Yiming was still cheerful, and said regretfully, "Okay, okay, that's it, I won't dig, it's okay, right?"

Although he scolded fiercely, Wang Xing was very happy with Lu Yiming's willingness to invest money in scientific research, and was willing to open the back door for him.

So after scolding, I changed the subject and said: "Are you sure about the development of the fourth-generation lithography machine?"

The first three generations of lithography machines can be said to be inherited, and have not changed in essence, just like the three major components of the engine and gearbox have not changed since the birth of the car more than 100 years ago.

However, the fourth-generation lithography machine that Lu Yiming intends to do almost completely overturns the technical route of the previous three generations, just like the subversive change that new energy vehicles replace fuel vehicles.

Therefore, Wang Xing is still very concerned about whether he can succeed or not.

Seeing that they were talking about serious matters, Lu Yiming no longer had a playful smile on his face, and his expression became serious: "There is certainty, although not much, but if I don't put in a fight, I'm not reconciled."

In the original history, the Netherlands is a country full of tulips. The reason why ASML was able to defeat Nikon, the former king of lithography machines, was actually Lin Benjian and immersive lithography technology.

This time, Lin Benjian has been intercepted by Lu Yiming. The development speed of ASML will definitely be slowed down, but it is still hard to say what to do next.

All in all, this is an opportunity. If Xia Guo's lithography machine technology wants to turn around, it must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lu Yiming chatted with Wang Xing about the development of lithography machines.

After all, he is an expert in the field of optics. Although he has retired, Wang Xing still often finds time to learn about the latest cutting-edge technology.Moreover, as a personal experiencer of the past era, Wang Xing also has a deeper understanding of the evolution of lithography machines.

Wang Xing said to Lu Yiming: "The exposure methods of the first and second generation lithography machines are basically the contact approach type, and the light sources are respectively 436nm g-line and 365nm i-line. The mask is in direct contact with the photoresist, so it is susceptible to contamination, and the proximity lithography machine has low imaging accuracy due to the influence of the air cushion."

"I remember that it was the early 60s. At that time, Xia Kingdom was too poor. There was even a famine in many places, and everyone couldn't eat enough. Otherwise, if you want to catch up, you can catch up easily."

Lu Yiming nodded, and felt a little pity: "Yes, in the field of scientific research, it is really difficult to move forward without money, and every step is slow. As a result, we can only spend ten times or even a hundred times the price today to make up for the gap. Even when we encounter some problems that are difficult to get around The patent barriers that have been opened can only be used in vain, and it is too difficult to conduct scientific research."

"But no matter how difficult it is, it must be done, because if you don't do it today, if you do it later, the cost will only be greater."

Wang Xing agreed with Lu Yiming's words very much, and admired his determination and ambition very much.

"The third generation is a scanning projection lithography machine, which uses optical lenses to gather diffracted light to improve imaging quality. The exposure method is innovated into optical projection lithography, which realizes exposure by scanning, and the light source is also improved to 248nm KrF laser. It has achieved leapfrog development, advancing the minimum process to 180-130 nanometers. At this stage, it will be more difficult to catch up."

Lu Yiming replied: "Actually, the fourth generation is more difficult, the step-and-scan projection lithography machine, the most representative lithography machine product, was first launched by ASML in 1986, using a 193nm ArF laser light source to achieve In the photolithography process, the synchronous movement of the mask and the silicon wafer is eliminated, and the reduction projection lens is used, and the reduction ratio reaches 5:1, which effectively improves the use efficiency and exposure accuracy of the mask, and improves the process and production efficiency of the chip. One step."

"Nowadays, the industry generally believes that 193nm lithography cannot be extended to the 65nm technology node, and 157nm will become the mainstream technology. However, 157nm lithography technology has encountered a huge challenge from the lithography machine lens. Right now, many European and American powers Researchers are hesitant in the face of 157nm immersion lithography, but we have seen hope in Dawn Optics."

Hearing that Lixiao Optics saw the hope of breaking through 157 nanometers, Wang Xing immediately became excited.Quickly asked: "What hope? Tell me quickly."

He was still worried about whether Lu Yiming's big fanfare would succeed in the end.

You must know that there are many companies in the world that research lithography machines, and they are all high-tech companies in developed countries in Europe and America. Lu Yiming has no advantage at all except for a lot of money.

But technology is not something that can solve problems just by throwing money at it.If all problems can be solved by throwing money at them, then there will be no problems in this world.

But Lu Yiming brought him a pleasant surprise, saying that the research had hope, which made Wang Xing very excited.

However, Wang Xing immediately came to his senses and said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, I was too excited. If it involves your company's commercial secrets, then I won't ask."

Although he was very curious in his heart, Wang Xing knew how to behave properly, and he would never rely on the old to sell the old nonsense.

However, Lu Yiming was very frank, and said: "Where did Mr. Wang say? What kind of commercial secrets are not commercial secrets. Even if it is a commercial secret, I will not hide it from you. If even an older generation of scientists like you I can't believe it, is there anyone in this world who is trustworthy?"

Anyway, Lin Benjian wanted to engage in immersive lithography technology. Even if Lu Yiming didn't talk about Wang Xing now, he would know about it through Professor Bao Zijun, a disciple. It's just a matter of time.

Therefore, there is no need for Lu Yiming to keep Wang Xing a secret.On the contrary, if he could confess this matter to Wang Xing, he might be able to get more support from Wang Xing.

Thinking of this, Lu Yiming said truthfully: "The Lin Benjian who came with me was originally the senior director of TSM Tai Jue. He had previously proposed the concept of 193nm immersion lithography. According to his theory, 193nm light waves in water The equivalent wavelength of the chip is shortened to 134 nanometers. Once the development is successful, we will be able to make the precision of the lithography machine directly exceed the limit of 157 nanometers. Even on this basis, we will continue to study and advance the processing accuracy of the chip to below 100 nanometers. It is precisely because of his plan that I decided to invest in him."

Wang Xing just heard that Lu Yiming was going to use a completely different method to study the lithography machine, but he didn't know the specific situation.Now that Lu Yiming said it directly, he was shocked and even more delighted.

"That is to say, if this plan can go through, Xia Guo will be able to achieve cornering overtaking in the field of lithography machines and enter the world's first echelon?"

Lu Yiming said: "Yes, I have applied for a patent for this solution. As long as we can make it, we will be number one in the world!"
