1991 Starting from the core

In the laboratory, Su Yuanshan met an unexpected person.

"Uncle Zheng?"

Zheng Zhenchuan was leading researchers in front of the atomic force microscope to observe something, which surprised Su Yuanshan. Logically speaking, Zheng Zhenchuan doesn't need an atomic force microscope.

Of course, the physics laboratory built by Su Yuanshan is not only for his own use, but is also under the management of the Science and Technology Park Laboratory Center. Anyone can use it just by applying.

"Let me analyze the surface of the silicon wafer after the first exposure." Zheng Zhenchuan laughed.

"Oh, then you continue." Su Yuanshan decided not to disturb the other party.

"It's okay, we've finished it." Zheng Zhenchuan walked towards Su Yuanshan, thought for a while and said: "Xiao Su, we thought about the idea of ​​a double workpiece table you mentioned last time and found that it is very difficult. We feel that based on the existing The conditions are not feasible. But once it is realized, it will indeed be a huge improvement for lithography machines."

"Well, that's right. It finally worked out..." Su Yuanshan smiled: "Let's not think about other things for now. From a design perspective, can we design such a mechanical device to match the lithography machine?"

Zheng Zhenchuan smiled and said: "Of course it is possible. As long as it is a machine, there is nothing that cannot be designed. It is nothing more than precision, efficiency, and volume."

"Then it's over?" Su Yuanshan spread his hands: "You have to try it first. Don't worry about the accuracy and efficiency. Focus on the volume first, and get it done first."

"It's just that it doesn't happen overnight."

"Take your time." Su Yuanshan chuckled: "I'm not in a hurry as I'm the one who paid for it. Even if this thing comes out in ten years, it won't matter. But as long as it comes out, it will be a big killer, right?"

Zheng Zhenchuan smiled and nodded: "Indeed."

Su Yuanshan chuckled.

The reason why ASML has swept the world is that in addition to being the first to develop a 193nm immersion lithography machine, its dual workpiece stage is also its unique skill. It wasn’t until 2020 that this was done in China...

Su Yuanshan knew the difficulty of these techniques, so he was not in a hurry at all, and there was no way to be anxious.

Yuanxin's current R\u0026D foundation and investment are definitely at the top level of domestic companies, but compared with foreign countries, there is still a real gap.

This gap is not reflected in investment, but in talent.

Foreign countries have the advantage of accumulating technology, accumulating knowledge, and attracting talents. As for Yuanxin, except for the field of chip design, other fields can only rely on Su Yuanshan's "forward-looking vision" to achieve transcendence.

To put it bluntly, Su Yuanshan can only make people avoid taking detours. But no matter how straight the road is, you still have to walk step by step.

So this science and technology park can be regarded as Su Yuanshan's forcible spending of money.

Fortunately, domestic labor costs are cheap, so Yuanxin can easily support thousands of researchers.

But in addition to labor costs, other costs are not cheap. Yuanxin built a building and built a laboratory here, and purchased etching, polishing, ion implantation and other equipment for the clean room laboratory. Although they are all second-hand, overall, More than one billion RMB are gone.

This does not include the investment of each research group.

At this time, Brother Su Yuanshan rang. He picked up the phone and smiled at Zheng Zhenchuan: "Uncle Zheng, you can worry about your business. I will figure out a way to deal with the money."

"OK."

After exiting the laboratory, Su Yuanshan pressed the answer button.

"Hello."

On the phone, a slightly nervous and expectant voice sounded.

"Hello, boss!"

Su Yuanshan was slightly startled, and a smile quickly spread on his face.

He quickly walked into the office next door and closed the door.

…

"Xiaoye, why did you remember to call me?"

Su Yuanshan sat on the desk and said with a smile.

"Well...I will be entering school in September."

"Well, I'll pick you up then."

"Ah? No, no...I mainly want to ask if I can go to Yuanxin with my friends for an internship this summer. Oh, by the way, no salary is required."

Su Yuanshan suddenly became happy when he heard Ye Rudai asking him to "open the back door" in a coquettish tone.

"good!"

"ah?"

"Goodbye." Su Yuanshan laughed: "When will you come over? I will help you arrange to be with Senior Brother Xi."

Ye Rudai's voice immediately became urgent: "Is it Professor Xi Xiaoding?"

"um, yes."

"Okay, thank you, thank you, we'll come over tomorrow."

Listening to Ye Rudai's continuous thanks, Su Yuanshan tilted his head and laughed silently for a few seconds before softly saying: "Call me when you get to the science and technology park. Also... let's not say thank you."

…

In Penang, Ye Rudai hung up the phone and gently patted her red cheeks.

Then he stuck out his tongue to his best friend Yu Shuyun: "Oh my god, I'm so nervous."

"It's weird if you're not nervous, that's your idol." Yu Shuyun slapped Ye Rudai's chest: "Let me see how high my heartbeat is."

"...Go away, pervert!"

"Hey, dancing so hard?"

"How about you try?" Ye Rudai opened her best friend's hand, picked up the phone and handed it to her: "You don't even dare to say anything."

"I'm not you, so why don't you dare?" Yu Shuyun hung up the phone: "When we meet tomorrow, let's see if I dare to say that I'm just a genius child. What's so great about him?"

"Okay, you're awesome... Just wait."

The two of them laughed and joked for a while, and then they started to clean up and bow.

In the middle of cleaning up, Ye Rudai suddenly stopped. She frowned slightly, and a small wrinkle rose on the tip of her nose. She looked at her best friend and asked, "Shuyun, do you want to prepare some gifts?"

Yu Shuyun was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "No need, right? We are going for an internship, not visiting each other."

"But people helped."

"...Please, we are going to work! And we are working for free."

Ye Rudai thought for a moment, and it seemed that she had just mentioned that it didn't matter if she didn't need money.

You won’t really be paid any living expenses, right?

But she immediately thought that Su Yuanshan said that they would be arranged to work under Professor Xi Xiaoding, and she suddenly felt that not to mention working for free, even paying for it would be fine!

"Forget it, let's go like this."

That night, the two naturally slept together, and then were woken up by Ye Rudai's father early in the morning.

It’s only over 300 kilometers from Penang to the provincial capital, but the provincial roads are in extremely poor condition, and it takes seven or eight hours to drive even if there’s no traffic jam. If you encounter a traffic jam, it will be even worse.

After a bumpy journey, the car finally arrived at the gate of Yuanxin Technology Park at 5 p.m.

Ye Rudai was sitting in the back row on the left. From a distance, she saw a young man standing under the big umbrella of the security booth, chatting with the security guard.

He was slender, wearing a short-sleeved plaid shirt, jeans, and sneakers, with his hands in his pockets.

When he heard the sound of the car, Su Yuanshan turned around. When he saw the car windows rolled down at the same time, he was slightly startled and quickly smiled.
