Chapter 300 No one knows better than me

Although Lin Xiao's interview was still a bit outrageous, the CCTV reporter happily went back with the interview record.

After the interview, there were some social activities afterwards, but Lin Xiaoze declined them all.

Although the people who invited him had high status, he was not afraid of making others dissatisfied if he declined.

Anyway, he is a scientific researcher, and since the Dingguang Research Institute is there, can others, no matter how high their status is, influence him to continue his research?

Not to mention that with his current status, he no longer needs to care about others.

So, An An returned to Yanbei Garden with peace of mind, and took a good rest for a day to prepare for the work ahead.

As for the next work, it is naturally the final step of the X-ray plan.

Assemble.

…

One night passed.

After a good night's rest, Lin Xiao, full of energy, got into the car driven by Shi Hao and headed to the Dingguang Research Institute.

The other three Zhonghai bodyguards who had protected him before going to St. Petersburg naturally returned to their original posts. After all, they were all back in China, which was naturally much safer than abroad. What's more, Lin Xiao had not wanted to go out and be treated like this.

Many people gathered around.

Soon, he arrived at the Dingguang Research Institute. Looking at this long-lost research institute that belonged to him, Lin Xiao had no time to express his emotions. Instead, he asked Shi Hao to drive the car to a newly built building.

This building is the newly built dust-free workshop of their research institute.

Strictly speaking, it is a dust-free workshop for photolithography machine assembly and testing.

The structure of this kind of dust-free workshop is slightly different from that of ordinary dust-free workshops. In addition to the dust-free environment, its foundation is also different.

Their foundations are made of extremely dense and heavy metal materials.

This heavier foundation than ordinary buildings gives the entire vehicle higher performance in terms of stability and impact resistance.

For example, in the dormitory, when a certain heavyweight roommate comes down from the upper bunk, you may feel the ground shake, but in this dust-free workshop, such a thing will not happen, and you will basically not feel anything.

shock.

As for why such a dust-free workshop is needed, it is naturally also for the stability of the operation of the photolithography machine.

As an instrument with working precision at the nanometer level, its stability requirements are among the highest in the world. Any vibration may cause instability during operation.

Of course, the cost of such a dust-free workshop is naturally very high.

However, since it is all about building lithography machines, there is no need to worry about these costs anymore.

Soon, Lin Xiao got out of the car and came to the door of the workshop.

After entering the door is the office area, not counting the inside of the workshop.

As the first workshop in China designed to test ultra-high-precision lithography machines, this office area is relatively large and can conduct various data tests. There is also a conference room that can accommodate Lin Xiao's core meeting on the X-ray plan.

Soon, after Lin Xiao walked in, when people in the office area saw him, they all stood up and shouted respectfully: "General Master Lin!"

Looking at the chief designer whom they had not seen for a long time, the people present were filled with emotion.

Using their free time from the X-ray project, they solved a world-class mathematical problem. Who else could do it except their Chief Engineer Lin?

Deputy Chief Designer Yang Kaiping was also here. After seeing Lin Xiao, he smiled and said hello: "Hey, Huo Guai is okay, Professor Lin, you are here."

Hearing Yang Kaiping's voice, Lin Xiao turned to look, then laughed and said: "How come you know this too?"

Yang Kaiping laughed and said, "Why can't I know? I saw the news this morning. You are really good. For such a difficult guess, you rated it as 'not bad'."

"There are other things like, 'It took a month,' 'It took nearly four months,' and so on. In the past, any project I took would take a year and a half, but it's different with you."

Lin Xiao said with a smile: "Back then, Einstein published five papers a year. On average, it takes 2.4 months to publish one paper. I'm still a little behind."

Yang Kaiping: "..."

You are awesome.

You have already compared yourself to Einstein, so I have nothing to say.

"Ahem, forget it. I won't tell you anymore. You haven't been here for so long. Now I have to tell you about our current situation."

"Well, let's go in and talk."

Lin Xiao said.

Afterwards, they entered the office and started talking.

"First of all, it's Chen Yuanchun's place. They have built double workbenches based on the drawings you gave. Now they have built five sets. After testing, the accuracy and stability have reached the standard. Now they have been placed in our workshop.

.”

When talking about this, Yang Kaiping recalled the situation when they tested the five double workbenches. When they saw that their double workbenches could easily operate with the accuracy he had set, everyone in their entire workshop was shocked.

I have been celebrating this for who knows how long, but it is a pity that Lin Xiao, the chief designer and the designer of these double workbenches, was attending the International Congress of Mathematicians at the time and could not participate, which made the scene less commemorative.

Of course, compared to the photolithography machine they are about to build, there is no need to care about the commemorative significance.

He continued: "Then the other parts are all ready, which means we are just waiting to install the machine now!"

Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

Finally, the X-ray lithography machine that we have waited for so long will be born.

As the chief designer, he has been looking forward to it for a long time.

"only……"

At this moment, Yang Kaiping showed a look of embarrassment on his face again.

"Just what?" Lin Xiao wondered, could there be another accident?

Yang Kaiping sighed and said, "We are almost running out of funds."

"This dust-free workshop has cost a lot of money. It also costs a lot of money to maintain a constant temperature and dust-free maintenance every day. In addition, in addition to the more complex instruments such as dual workbenches, we only have parts for our photolithography machines.

In addition to building ten units, we have basically ordered ten sets of other parts. However, our original 5 billion budget has basically bottomed out. This is because we still have a lot of payment for the goods and have not paid it.

"

"So...if the funds are gone, we won't be able to continue."

Speaking of this, Yang Kaiping showed a look of helplessness. A dime would stump a heroic man, let alone a scientific research project like theirs that would cost money in the first place.

Ordinary dust-free workshops, such as the 300,000-level dust-free workshop, are not that expensive, only about one thousand yuan per square meter. Their workshop is about 20,000 square meters, so it only costs 20 million yuan at most.

Yes, but the 300,000-level dust-free workshop is the lowest level of dust-free workshop. It is just an ordinary clean room, not even food processing level.

The cost of a food processing grade 100,000 dust-free workshop is almost 2,500 per square meter.

As for their dust-free workshop for integrated circuit manufacturing, not to mention the solid metal cast foundation under their feet, their dust-free workshop alone is the top-notch first-class dust-free workshop.

The cost of building a first-level dust-free workshop is directly in the tens of thousands, not to mention that their workshop also requires a constant temperature system, which needs to keep the temperature constant at 21 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, even if

It is an error of one degree, and the entire photolithography machine must undergo nanometer-level changes, so this is another huge expense.

The total cost would be hundreds of millions, or even close to one billion. Therefore, they are really out of money now.

So why does semiconductor research and development cost so much money? Just a 20,000-square-meter dust-free workshop requires so much money, not to mention other research and development.

However, this seemed like a big question to Yang Kaiping. After hearing this, Lin Xiao only said: "That's it?"

Yang Kaiping: "...Isn't this enough?"

Lin Xiao smiled and patted Yang Kaiping and said: "It's too small, the layout is too small."

"I thought it was some big problem, just lack of money!"

Then he took out his mobile phone and called Ma Gaoliang: "Director Ma, our X-ray project is out of money... Well, let's call another billion... OK, OK, OK, then hang up.

Okay, okay, bye."

Putting down her phone, Lin Xiao made an "OK" gesture to Yang Kaiping, "It's done. Just check the account then. It should be here soon."

Yang Kaiping was stunned: "That's... one billion?"

"Otherwise, one billion should be enough. Director Ma has always been very generous." Lin Xiao said matter-of-factly.

Yang Kaiping was even more speechless: "How generous is that guy Ma Gaoliang? We used to apply for project funds or something, and as long as he could control it, he had to review it for a long time. He was extremely stingy."

Lin Xiao: "...the Ma Gaoliang you are talking about and the Director Ma I am talking about are the same person?"

Yang Kaiping rolled his eyes: "Who else could it be besides Ma Gaoliang from the Science and Technology Bureau?"

"Uh...well, maybe Director Ma has a dual personality and will show his generous side when giving me money."

Yang Kaiping: "..."

Suddenly he remembered, who is this in front of him? That is Lin Xiao. Applying for funds is simpler, isn't that normal?

Ma Gaoliang is compared to a goddess, and then scientists like them are the spare tires, and then Lin Xiao is the tall, rich and handsome, and then she becomes the spare tire licking the goddess, and the goddess licking the rich second generation.

He patted his head and said helplessly: "Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. Do you want to go in and take a look now?"

Anyway, once the funding problem is solved, there is no need to worry about other things. After that, they can just spend money.
