From all-round academic master to chief scientist - Chapter 274 Why did God favor a Chinese?

Look at this prototype solid, or pure silicon crystal, on the tray.

Zhao Sheng also felt infinite emotion in his heart.

Finally finished.

According to the production process given by Lin Xiao, he successfully created this material that should originally appear in science fiction movies.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and for those working on the X-ray project, today is a holiday.

In fact, they had the fifteen days off from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival. However, after knowing that Lin Xiao would not go home for the New Year, but would continue to stay at his post and continue research, Zhao Sheng had no intention of celebrating the New Year.

He only celebrated three days of the New Year, New Year’s Eve, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the second day of the Lunar New Year. He had a New Year’s Eve dinner on New Year’s Eve, and had a meal with his juniors on the first and second day of the Lunar New Year. After that, he declined other visits. Put all your efforts into research.

Of course, other people in the X-ray project basically did the same thing, and they all re-invested their minds in research after only a few days.

They are also very happy about this. For people like them, scientific research has become a part of their lives. They are used to the pleasure of taking a break from their busy schedule. However, if they take more than ten days of leave to do research, they still feel that Empty.

The same goes for Zhao Sheng.

In the past ten days, he successfully prepared this crystal according to the plan given to him by Lin Xiao.

Although it has not yet been handed over to the Institute of Optoelectronics for final ion beam polishing, it has only gone through the previous polishing. The surface roughness is about 1nm-RMS, but under this roughness, this silicon block can still be To achieve stable diffraction of X-rays, by changing the incident angle, the irradiation range of X-rays can be easily enlarged and reduced.

Of course, this does not mean that this kind of surface roughness is sufficient. The more uneven the surface, the more uneven the radiation energy will be. This will greatly affect the actual performance of the chip when the chip is produced later. Therefore, It will still be necessary to polish it to a smoother level in the future.

Of course, there is no need to consider polishing issues. They already have such polishing technology anyway, so just enjoy the joy of success now.

Even now, Zhao Sheng can still recall the scene of their success. The entire laboratory cheered and watched the square X-ray projection on the screen that enlarged and shrunk as the lenses rotated. Even he at that time , and even shed tears of excitement.

And all of this stems from Lin Xiao’s success.

“Professor Zhao, does this mean that we are very close to building a lithography machine?”

At this time, the reporter’s question brought Zhao Sheng back to his senses, and then he said with a smile: “Of course.”

“If you had asked this question before, I would most likely not have answered this way, but now, I can only say that we are very close to success.”

Zhao Sheng turned his head and glanced at the scene in the laboratory. He recalled that when Lin Xiao invited him here and said that he wanted to develop such an incredible material, he was still very reluctant to agree. If Lin Xiao hadn’t given it, There were too many, and he didn’t want to study such a waste of time.

Even at that time, he didn’t think the X-ray project would be successful. He was engaged in scientific research, and of course he knew how difficult the technology required for lithography machines was.

But now, almost in the blink of an eye, they are so close to success. One of the last two pieces of the puzzle has been picked up. Although the last piece of the puzzle has not been found yet, at least this piece of the puzzle is visible. The puzzle, not the piece on the tray, turned out to be completely invisible.

And after hearing what Zhao Sheng said, although the reporter was a reporter, he was also a Chinese. How could he not be excited when he heard that their lithography machine was also going to be released?

He sincerely praised: “That’s great! Thanks to scientists like you!”

“Haha.” After hearing the thanks, Zhao Sheng just shook his head and said: “You thank us, but everyone in our X-ray project has to thank Chief Lin. Without him, we are still about ten years away from success. Eighteen thousand miles away.”

“To be honest, I just play a role as a labor force. The X-ray lens material can be made only because I followed the plan given by Chief Engineer Lin.”

The reporter couldn’t help but be surprised: “The plan was given by Chief Lin?”

“Yeah.” Zhao Sheng nodded.

Apart from conducting an experiment, he made almost no contribution to their research.

This made him feel as if he had become an undergraduate doing his graduation project, and Lin Xiao was his mentor, directly handing him the plan and asking him to “copy” it.

At this time, the reporter could only express even more surprise in his heart. Is that Chief Engineer Lin really cheating?

Of course, it was impossible for him to ask such a question. Then he glanced at the piece of material and asked: “By the way, Professor Zhao, you just said that this is a lens? But it obviously doesn’t look like a mirror, and it doesn’t look like a mirror.” It’s not transparent.”

Zhao Sheng smiled and said: “Haha, calling it a lens is a habitual term. In fact, as you can see, it is not transparent, but it can still transmit X-rays. You can think of it as a lens.” A special lens.”

“That’s it.” The reporter nodded and asked: “Then does it have a name?”

“Yes.” Zhao Sheng smiled: “The official name is regular diffracting X-ray pure silicon crystal, and the abbreviation is RDXCPOS, because it can diffract X-rays very regularly. Of course, we usually call it Xiaojing.”

“Xiao Jing?”

“Well, Commander Lin Xiao’s Xiao.”

The reporter suddenly realized, “That’s it.”

“Haha, okay, it’s getting late. I’ll give you the results of the experiment later. When the time comes, you have to do your best to publicize it and let foreigners take a good look. What does it mean that they can’t do it, but we can do it.”

The reporter immediately nodded: “Of course, this is exactly our responsibility.”

“Um.”

…

As a state-run media, Xinhua News Agency is also one of the media in China second only to CCTV. Once they use all their strength to publicize a matter, it will of course be easy for everyone in the country to know about it.

And in fact, it is not just Xinhua News Agency that is promoting it.

When the Chinese people knew what this “Xiao Mirror” was, they immediately became excited and full of excitement.

Before the Chinese New Year, foreigners ridiculed that their X-ray project could not succeed, but didn’t they emphasize that it was impossible for China to create this lens that can evenly diffract X-rays?

Although this “Xiao Mirror” does not look like a lens, when it is polished to a roughness of less than 1nm-RMS, its surface itself is like a mirror. After all, this is smoother than the ancient bronze mirror, so it is Calling it a mirror is absolutely fine, it’s just opaque.

But no matter what, doesn’t this mean a slap in the face to those foreigners?

What you can’t do, we can still do!

So netizens once again showed their enthusiasm and shared their happiness and joy on various forums. Netizens who were able to circumvent the wall and access the external Internet showed great fighting power and went crazy. Mocking those foreigners who had mocked China in the past, this caused many Chinese netizens to go crazy on their external accounts.

Of course, in addition to this, the news released by Xinhua News Agency also clearly pointed out that the emergence of Xiaojing means that China is once again a big step closer to having its own lithography machine!

This key point makes the Chinese people even more happy.

Lithography!

Lithography!

This pearl that represents human wisdom, and the technology that has always pained China, is now right in front of us!

The Chinese people who had just celebrated the New Year and enjoyed the fun were once again caught up in a carnival.

Correspondingly, the West has become anxious.

Waighthouse is in the Oval Office.

“What’s this fucking about?”

The president looked at Jack Theros in front of him and said angrily, with spittle almost spraying on his head.

Jack Theros looked at the investigation report in his hand with a shocked expression.

What was written in this investigation report was about Xiao Jing.

Jack Theros could hardly believe it at this time. How could something like this that was obviously impossible to create be really created?

How can this be!

But before denying it, look at the experimental result data about the “Akatsuki Mirror” clearly stated in this investigation report. This part of the data was made public by the X-ray Project to prove that the Akatsuki Mirror they produced, RDXCOPS regular diffraction X-ray pure silicon crystal is real.

Looking at the several spectral diagrams inside, it was pointed out that as the angle of the Dawn Mirror changed, the X-ray irradiation range also expanded and shrunk. At this time, Jack Theros simply could not believe this fact.

He couldn’t help but murmured: “This is fraud… This must be academic fraud…”

These are just some pictures, and it is very easy to make them fake. Don’t there often appear papers with fake pictures even in “Nature” and “Science”?

But the president ruthlessly interrupted his thoughts: “Our intelligence sources have already made it clear that this cannot be false.”

“Theros, I believed you so much before, saying that they would not be able to build this thing within ten years, but now, how should you explain to me?”

“I have not forgotten what you said back then, that you were going to eat the 18.9-meter-long solid wood table in the conference room.”

Jack Theros’s face changed. Could it be that the President really wanted him to eat that thing?

What a joke!

How did he know that Lin Xiao really created this thing? !

He thought hard for a long time and suddenly said: “I know! It must be the one I told you about at the beginning, a miracle!”

“Lin Xiao must have created a mathematical model that can explain all the laws of diffraction, and then used this mathematical model to easily find the crystal structure of RDXCOPS! Then… and then relied on luck to actually create it Out!”

The president snorted coldly: “Didn’t you say at the beginning that it was impossible for Lin Xiao to create that kind of mathematical model?”

“This…” Jack Theros lowered his head, and after struggling for a long time, he said helplessly: “President, perhaps, it is precisely because he is Lin Xiao that he created this mathematical model. After all, he is the top person in the mathematics world. ——”

“Genius!”

“I don’t want to hear this!”

the president said angrily.

He knew that even if he called Jack Theros, it would be meaningless, but he just wanted to find someone to spread his anger and divert his emotions, so Jack Theros naturally became the best candidate.

At this moment, the Secretary of State suddenly walked in and said: “President, we found that Lin Xiao uploaded a paper on arxiv called Electronic Topological Bonding Theory. According to our consultation with many experts, this This paper is a paper that has a chance of winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry or Physics.”

“And it’s very likely to be related to the ‘Xiao Mirror’ they produced.”

“What?! Show me!”

Before the president could speak, Jack Theros couldn’t help but say.

The Secretary of State glanced at the President, who nodded.

The Secretary of State then handed the report in his hand to Jack Theros.

Jack Theros looked at this report, which contained a brief overview of Lin Xiao’s article called “Electronic Topological Bonding Theory.”

After reading it, Jack Theros was stunned for a moment, and finally let out a long sigh.

“God, why do you favor a Chinese?”
