Chapter 345 The Call of Duty (First update, please subscribe)

The transistor is out!

When I got this news, it was already two months later. It was not even a report, but the invention of Matare and others was published in the magazine "Physics", which is the top physics journal in Southeast Asia. Although the name of the paper is "transistron", which is different from the English name of transistor, you only need to take a brief look at the paper. Li Yian could tell at a glance that it was a transistor.

In the past year, he had been waiting for the good news from Bratton from the United States, but who would have thought... the real good news actually lies in Nanyang!

Surprised by the surprise, Li Yian personally called Matare and asked for some details, and soon a more detailed report was delivered to him.

What was sent to Li Yian was not only a report, but also a small transistor. Different from the transistors he was familiar with, this transistor was in the shape of a "T".

"This is much better than Bratton's invention..."

The reason why Li Yian said this is because Bratton's design is too simple. Although it achieves the amplification function, its structure is fragile, sensitive to external vibrations, not easy to manufacture, and does not have the ability for commercial applications.

But Matare's design already has the conditions for mass production.

"What if we applied it to electronic computers?"

Li Yian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought of electronic computers. Although it had been almost two years and Chu Ze's development work had not made much progress, he was not in a hurry.

When the Third Reich was developing computers, Chuze did not read Shannon's paper, but he was able to use engineering methods and explore to actually realize a computer based on Shannon's theory. However, Chuze lacked a theoretical foundation and it was difficult to On this basis, computer science can be rapidly advanced. The continuous improvement of a technology cannot be separated from the guidance of theory.

At Nanyang University, Chu Ze not only had access to the papers of Claude Shannon, Alan Turing and others, but also kept track of the latest electronic computing knowledge in the world. This also made him realize that he was working behind closed doors. Due to my own lack of theory, I pressed the pause button on the manufacturing of electronic computers.

Like a student, he eagerly studied the theoretical knowledge of Britain and the United States and other countries - in fact, this is what German experts and professors are doing now - learning from their British and American counterparts. Under the rule of the Third Reich, Germany The academic world suffered an unprecedented blow. While tens of thousands of university professors went into exile overseas, they were also prohibited from academic exchanges with their British and American counterparts. This directly caused the German scientific community to fall into a dilemma of working behind closed doors.

And now they are eagerly re-learning. Li Yian certainly welcomes this situation. This is why he has never urged Chu Ze. What he needs is a Chu Ze who can achieve further achievements!

"Now that transistors have come out, although the point-contact transistor structure is indeed a bit clumsy, it can definitely be improved!"

Historically, after Bardeen and Bratton invented the transistor, there was a person who had mixed feelings in his heart. This person is Shockley. He was the leader of the founding team of transistors at Bell Labs and an important theoretical founder. However, he basically did not participate in the later critical stages of Bardeen and Bratton's research work. In fact, he once believed that Bardeen and Brattain would not have succeeded without his help.

After being slapped in the face, Shockley fell into an embarrassing situation - he believed that he was one of the inventors of the transistor and should have the right to sign the patent. Most other people believe that Shockley has little direct relationship with this invention and should not be signed.

Faced with the reality of being slapped in the face, how could Shockley, a scientific genius, give up? He spotted the flaws in Bratton's invention and began studying new transistor designs in retreat. After more than a month of hard work, a new transistor model with a three-layer structure was proposed and named junction transistor, which is the "NPN" transistor that changed human civilization.

The birth of the transistor is of extremely important significance to the development of human science and technology. It has the capabilities of electronic tubes but overcomes their shortcomings. From the moment it was born, it was determined that it would completely replace the electronic tube.

Then the development of transistors entered a blowout period. Crystal purification technology, photolithography technology, etc. have exploded in an all-round way, and it can be said that they are changing with each passing day.

"How about letting the American Research Center hire Shonali?"

As soon as this idea emerged, another idea flashed in Li Yian's mind.

"Actually...I can do it too!"

Besides, the Nobel Prize is quite fun...

It has to be said that people always need to have some pursuits. As a president and a king, Li Yi'an never thought about winning the Nobel Peace Prize. After all, there are too many presidents and kings who have won the Peace Prize. But what about presidents and kings who won the Nobel Prize in Physics?

There is no such thing in this world now, and there will be no such thing in the future.

It is not impossible to stand on the shoulders of giants and plagiarize occasionally. Besides, I am doing this for all mankind!

"Yes, I am doing this for all mankind. Although Shockley developed a new transistor model with a three-layer structure, no one in the world believed it at the beginning!"

Historically, Shockley's model was widely questioned at first, and many people believed that this model was unachievable. It wasn't until 50 that Shockley's colleagues and friends Morgan Scarpas and Gordon Thiel collaborated and after a series of attempts, successfully used the Czochralski method to produce a physical NPN transistor, which finally gave him a reputation.

It is precisely because of this that mankind has truly entered the transistor era.

From 48 to 50, it was a full two years of waiting!

And what year was the world's first transistor computer?

It's 54 years!

"If... I invented it, then mankind could enter the transistor era at least six years earlier, and even enter the computer age earlier! - This, isn't this just for all mankind!"

Suddenly, Li Yian felt that his whole person was enveloped by an unprecedented sense of mission - for the future of all mankind!

It should and must be...plagiarism!

When this idea flashed in his mind, he was determined to answer the call of duty, picked up the transistor, and started developing it. When he was reading the report, the system popped up a prompt.

"Discover "Transistor" and you can learn the skill "Semiconductor Physics". Do you want to learn it?"

Sure enough, as long as you get the physical object, you can learn the skills!

If I have the opportunity to touch an atomic bomb, I wonder if I can learn the skills to make an atomic bomb. If so, I can save several small targets!

Although he sighed in his heart, Li Yian still quickly chose yes, and knowledge about "semiconductor physics" skills quickly poured into his mind.

Li Yi'an, who was originally a semiconductor novice, instantly became a big shot in this field - although the LV1 level "semiconductor physics" knowledge is at most the level of an undergraduate in the same major compared to another world, but now it is It’s an era that has just started! Any bit of knowledge is epoch-making.

The "NPN" transistor, which he didn't quite understand at first, now seems to Li Yian to be a simple principle. In just over an hour, he completed the model design of the "NPN" transistor, which is even better than Xiao Xiao's. Klee's model is more complete.

Not only that, Li Yian also studied the Czochralski method to prepare single crystals. He spent almost the entire day struggling with transistors.

Finally, after finishing everything, Li Yian even forgot about time. When he finally finished everything, he felt excited when he looked at the thick stack of information written by himself in front of him.

Paul's psychological monologue in the cemetery appeared in my mind involuntarily, and I even couldn't help but recite it:

"The most precious thing for a person is life. Life belongs to a person only once. A person's life should be spent like this: When he looks back on the past,...my whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world. ——For human beings..."

Li Yian, who originally wanted to continue memorizing it, suddenly laughed and laughed at himself.

"It's just you, a big capitalist and aristocrat, and you actually liberate the cause...cough, cough."

After coughing several times in succession, Li Yian said seriously.

"When he looks back on the past, my whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - for the future of mankind!"
