From all-round academic master to chief scientist - Chapter 218 New Year

Because it would take a while for the program to be completed, Lin Xiao stayed in Kong Huaan’s office and chatted with him.

Kong Huaan is also very curious about getting a photolithography machine. Although he just agreed, this is a photolithography machine after all. Of course, he also has some questions to ask.

“Why do you suddenly want to do this?”

Lin Xiao spread his hands and said: “For us Chinese, it should be easy to understand that we want to create something for the country, right?”

“That’s true.”

Kong Huaan nodded.

Before unification, China will never be able to truly have its own top-level photolithography machines and supporting production technology.

In view of the importance of chips in modern technology, without this thing, the constraints on China are too great.

So they have to come up with this thing.

Kong Huaan added: “But don’t you feel it’s a pity?”

“What a pity?” Lin Xiao was stunned.

“It should take a long time to study this thing. Doesn’t this mean you have given up on theoretical research? You should be more suitable for theoretical research.”

When this question was mentioned, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but smile: “Who said that what is suitable for theoretical research is not suitable for applied research?”

If top mathematicians want to turn to applications, it is easier to produce results. Rich basic knowledge can give them more ways of thinking when facing practical problems.

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Kong Huaan nodded suddenly and said, “That’s true.”

Just like the root search method, this thing called a mathematical vaccine is mainly used in particle colliders, but over time, people in the applied academic community have tried to use it in noise processing in other places. For example, the processing of communication noise. Since the root method can handle the noise from radio electromagnetic waves in the particle collider, it can naturally be used to deal with the communication noise. For example, when answering the phone, whether the signal is weaker The local government has received the relevant signals more clearly. According to statistics, a domestic company that occupies the world’s leading position in communications has produced several important patents based on the root investigation law.

Therefore, based on the root search method alone, Lin Xiao is quite suitable for the application field.

“However, this thing does take a long time. How long do you think it will take to succeed?”

Lin Xiao smiled: “It could be as short as two years, or as long as I don’t know.”

“Two years?” Kong Hua’an was stunned for a moment and couldn’t believe it: “Why?”

Lin Xiao spread his hands: “I just said it casually.”

Kong Huaan breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good.”

Lin Xiao couldn’t help but wonder: “That’s good?”

Kong Huaan smiled and said: “I thought you were going to steal technology from so many photolithography machine parts manufacturers in the world.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn’t help laughing.

“How is that possible?”

However, it was almost the same, except that after selling these parts to Asmail, Asmail packaged them and gave them to him.

As for being able to build a lithography machine in as little as two years, he was not wrong, because according to his estimate, as long as the plan starts and everything goes well, based on all the technologies he has mastered, there is a chance that it can be completed within two years, and even Could be shorter.

After all, China is the country with the most complete industrial system in the world, and it also has the strongest mobilization ability in the world. As long as it has the technology, it is completely possible to build a production line within two years.

Therefore, it still depends on how far Lin Xiao can optimize this lithography machine.

Of course, there is no need to disclose these things to Kong Huaan for the time being. For the time being, there is no need to let Kong Huaan know too much.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Kong Huaan also learned that only he knew about this matter for the time being, and he was even more moved by Lin Xiao’s trust.

Of course, he was not good at expressing his emotions either. He just said: “I won’t tell others.”

“Yeah, I know.” Lin Xiao smiled slightly.

His brain development not only improved his scientific research ability, but also his ability to observe people. Just like when we were eating just now, Kong Huaan had a very indifferent attitude towards the employees of the company, but towards him It was very sincere, and considering Kong Huaan’s past personality, he could judge that Kong Huaan regarded him as a true friend.

So he was also willing to believe Kong Huaan.

Kong Huaan added: “By the way, Wen Zihua and the others are also technically good. If you are short of people, you can bring them along.”

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow: “You want me to poach you?”

Kong Huaan shook his head: “I just can’t find anything to do when I start a company. I have learned all computer-related things. There is a computer academician named Yao Qizhi at Qinghua University who has won the Turing Award before and wants to hire me. I refused to be his graduate student, and I have no intention of going to graduate school. If you can lead me to do such an important thing, I would like to thank you.”

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, remained silent for a moment, and said, “Okay, I understand.”

Suddenly at this moment, a burst of exclamation erupted outside. When the two of them heard it, Kong Huaan said: “It should be good.”

“Then let’s go out and have a look.”

Lin Xiao said.

Then the two of them left the office and came outside.

I saw that the original dozen or so people were now gathered around a computer, marveling.

“ohhhhh!”

“Isn’t that awesome?!”

“Damn it! It really worked!”

…

Soon someone noticed Lin Xiao and Kong Huaan walking over. Then they faced Lin Xiao directly, bowed deeply and said, “God Lin, you are awesome!”

“Goddess Lin, my admiration for you is like the endless stream of a river…”

After hearing the sound, other people also acted like they were licking dogs.

Lin Xiao laughed, waved his hand and said, “It’s a small matter.”

When they heard Lin Xiao say this, these people were speechless.

In the past, they only heard that Lin Xiao was awesome and had very strong mathematical abilities, but now, they really felt how powerful this “very powerful” person was.

Recalling that they just thought that Lin Xiao couldn’t fix it in a short time at least, but it took them less than an hour to fix it, they felt really ashamed.

At this time, Kong Huaan and Lin Xiao had also walked to the computer and saw what was on the screen.

The picture on the left is a low-resolution distant view. It looks blurry and some of the things inside cannot be clearly seen. However, after applying Lin Xiao’s mathematical model, the blurry image becomes clear, at least in terms of outline. It becomes more distinct.

Don’t look at it just a little clearer. This point alone is already beyond the reach of many related products in the industry. According to their estimates, it is at least about 30% higher than the current industry’s leading products.

This completely exceeded the target.

Originally, they thought they could earn 20 to 30 million per year just from patent licensing. Looking at it now, I’m afraid they can add another 10 million. Moreover, in terms of technical difficulty, they can be at least three years ahead in the industry. Or so, of course they are happy.

Kong Huaan’s face also showed surprise, and he sighed a little in his heart. Just like in that hotel room, Lin Xiao was still as strong as before, even a little too much.

Of course, because he had been mentally prepared for it, he was not particularly surprised.

Then, he stood up, clapped his hands, and after everyone looked at him, he said, “Everyone, I have a proposal. Give Lin Xiao some shares, just 10%. How about it?”

Everyone was stunned, and without thinking much, they all said: “Agree.”

“I agree.”

“good.”

…

No one said no.

In fact, in their company, although Kong Huaan is the boss, everyone actually has shares, and the lowest person has 2% of the shares. This is why a dozen of them can get an annual salary of one million yuan from any major domestic factory. Computer experts are willing to stay in this company. No matter what, if you have shares, you are the boss. Wouldn’t it be better to make money for yourself?

In addition to maintaining the company’s daily expenses, the rest of the money they earn is divided according to each person’s shares. Now Lin Xiao casually helps them, earning tens of millions every year. In a few years, everyone will have less to say. If you can earn 1 million, of course you will be more willing to give Lin Xiao shares.

Maybe Lin Xiao would casually write a few mathematical models for them to solve a few problems in the future, and then get tens of millions again?

They still know this truth, after all, they are all smart people.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand quickly, “Kong Hua’an, no, you haven’t said anything about this before.”

Kong Huaan said seriously: “We have agreed, so don’t refuse.”

“Yes, yes.”

“That’s right.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Others echoed again.

Lin Xiao declined a few more words, but in the face of their enthusiasm, he finally had to agree.

Forget it, just treat it as making money for your own family.

“so be it.”

Without further ado, Kong Huaan said that he would find a lawyer to go through the relevant procedures for transferring shares and just ask Lin Xiao to sign a few words in a few days.

After that, nothing happened.

Lin Xiao gained the first member of his future team, and Kong Huaan also solved a project of their company with Lin Xiao’s help.

After that, it is about applying for relevant patents, and then you can go to those big manufacturers to cooperate. For example, those mobile phone manufacturers will definitely be interested in their technology when making mobile phone photos, and there are other equipment companies that need to process imaging. For example, medical equipment such as color ultrasound will definitely need their ability to improve imaging clarity in the final imaging.

Lin Xiao does not need to take care of these things, Anhua Company will take care of these things.

…

In the following days, Lin Xiao continued to live in seclusion, staying in his room every day to continue his research.

He would also consider using truth points if necessary, but of course for now, he didn’t need to.

As for the school, I also asked him if he planned to accept graduate students this year.

After all, the first test has ended long ago, and the retest is coming soon.

Of course, he is also free to choose whether to take students. This is his right. Moreover, the School of Mathematical Sciences of Beijing University recruits relatively few students for postgraduate entrance examinations in basic mathematics every year, usually about three, which is lower than other master’s degrees in applied statistics and There are far fewer masters in finance. In addition, these students may have chosen their own tutors long ago. If there are no accidents, they may not be assigned to them.

Those who were admitted to graduate school last year are more uncomfortable. The School of Mathematical Sciences accepts more graduate students in the basic mathematics direction. But obviously, they have already chosen their own tutors. If they want to change their tutors, it will be very difficult. Emotional intelligence is a bit too low.

However, in view of his plan to build a photolithography machine, Lin Xiao has not decided to take students for the time being.

Lest I be absent all the time and affect those students.

Of course, in addition to teaching graduate students, the school also arranged for Lin Xiao to teach classes. Next year’s number theory classes include basic number theory for sophomores and number theory for graduate students.

In this regard, Lin Xiao did not refuse. The school had given him so much money, but he still had to attend classes, and I believed that many students were looking forward to his classes, so he could not disappoint other students.

However, classes will have to wait until next semester, and there will be a new year in between.

And just like that, the time is gradually approaching the Spring Festival.

Lin Xiao naturally needs to go home during the Spring Festival.

Mimi was still handed over to Professor Zheng Ren upstairs.

Of course, Zheng Ren was very surprised to become a neighbor again, and he did not refuse Lin Xiao’s request. What’s more, what surprised Lin Xiao was that Professor Zheng actually had another cat at home.

It seems that this old professor who once disliked cats has now become a glorious cat slave.

…

Time passed quickly and New Year’s Eve came again.

“Happy New Year!”

The crisp sound of clinking glasses echoed on the dining table at home.

Looking at his family, Lin Xiao had a smile on his face.

He was very happy to see his family again after not seeing them for a year.

After drinking the beer in the cup, even my mother Yang Rong drank it, not to mention my father Lin Guowen, the smile on his face was very happy.

After all, their son not only became a professor at Beijing University, but also the youngest professor in China. The couple felt that they had no regrets in this life.

Then, while talking and laughing, we had enough wine and food.

“When I’m full, I’ll go back to my room first.”

Lin Xiao put away his dishes and chopsticks and said

Lin Guowen said: “Xiaoxiao, you should have a good rest during the Chinese New Year. Don’t always stay in the room and study.”

Yang Rong also advised: “Xiaoxiao, don’t always stay in the room by yourself.”

She said: “Let’s go out for a walk as a family tonight.”

Lin Guowen also agreed: “Well, let’s go out for a walk together. Xiaoxiao, you go too. Once you go out, you won’t come back for a year. How long has it been since we went out together?”

After hearing what his parents said, Lin Xiao did not refuse and said with a smile: “Okay.”

Then, the family walked out of the house and wandered outside.

It was already dark at this time, and there were many people shopping, most of them shopping with friends or family.

It had been a long time since I had gone shopping like this, and Lin Xiao was filled with emotion.

The only pity is that we can no longer hear the sound of firecrackers from the past.

“Xiaoxiao, you are engaged in scientific research. Can you tell me what we are currently studying in the world’s cutting-edge science?”
