Darkness enveloped the entire campus, with fewer people on the playground and in the walkways. Summer insects chirped, and the evening breeze rustled the leaves. Everything seemed quiet and peaceful.
Zhou Xing hurriedly rushed to the electronics laboratory as quickly as possible.
The door to the laboratory was open, as if it had been opened specially for Zhou Xing. The lights were bright. Professor Yan was wearing reading glasses and a white coat, standing at a testing instrument and busy. Three young scientific research assistants were scattered around the laboratory, busy. Mind your own business.
In the empty laboratory, the rapid footsteps seemed particularly harsh.
"Zhou Xing, you are finally here!" Professor Yan suddenly looked up and saw Zhou Xing greeting him enthusiastically:
Hearing this, the other three young assistants in the laboratory all raised their heads and looked at Zhou Xing. The next second, their brows all furrowed.
Zhou Xing is too young, only 18 or 19 years old. Is this guy the genius highly respected by Professor Yan
Knowledge takes time to accumulate. Given Zhou Xing's age, how much knowledge can he master? Was Professor Yan deceived
"Mr. Yan!" Zhou Xing greeted Professor Yan, focusing on the three young researchers.
One has a tall frame, a slightly fat body, wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, frowns, and looks at him with a scrutinizing look; the other is thin and tall, with a slightly thin face, and the lab coat looks a bit awkward on him. Broad, with messy hair, an otaku image, and a hint of curiosity in her eyes; the last one is a lady with short hair, wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses, with an oval face, a good face, and fair skin, revealing a sense of knowledge Mei, looked at him with a hint of disbelief.
Noticing Zhou Xing's gaze, Professor Yan introduced him with a smile: "The tall one is called Guo Dazhi, the girl is named Jin Xiaomei, and the other one is named Xu Wei. They are all your seniors."
"He is Zhou Xing, the little guy I told you before. He will join our project in the future." Professor Yan looked at the three students and introduced them:
"Senior, senior, hello!" Zhou Xing greeted them with a smile:
"Hello, little brother!" Jin Xiaomei looked at Zhou Xing with interest:
"Haha, hello, you're awesome for being able to sneak into the laboratory as a freshman!" Guo Dazhi laughed loudly, with a hint of doubt in his words:
"Junior brother, what are your abilities that make Teacher Yan value you so much?" Jin Xiaomei suddenly spoke up and asked straight to the point:
Faced with Jin Xiaomei's doubts, Zhou Xing smiled slightly, threw the problem to Professor Yan, and said, "I don't know either. You should ask Mr. Yan this question!"
"You brat, you're being naughty." Professor Yan looked at Zhou Xing and scolded him with a smile, then quickly changed the subject and said, "I'll tell you about this later when I have time. I want to talk to Xiao Xing about the project now, so go ahead and do your work!"
After hearing what Professor Yan said, the three of them nodded helplessly and could only put this question in their hearts for now.
Professor Yan waved to Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing hurriedly greeted him.
"Xiao Xing, have you seen this kind of instrument?" Professor Yan pointed to the electronic equipment in front of him and asked Zhou Xing:
"I've seen it before and used it before." Zhou Xing looked at the electronic equipment in front of him and nodded to Professor Yan:
The electronic equipment in front of him is called a plasma etching machine, also called a plasma etching machine, a plasma flat plate etching machine, a plasma surface treatment instrument... Its function is mainly used to process electronic chips, using the free radicals extracted by the plasma to bombard them, or The surface molecules of the etched material are sputtered to form volatile substances, thereby achieving the etching processing effect.
"Oh? Have you used it before?" Professor Yan glanced at Zhou Xing in surprise, a little surprised.
Electronic etching machine equipment is a high-end electronic instrument, with prices ranging from millions to tens of millions. It is difficult for ordinary people to get access to the equipment. I didn't expect that Zhou Xing would actually use it at his age.
Zhou Xing came into contact with this piece of equipment in the virtual laboratory. When asked by the professor, he realized that he had neglected it and quickly added: "Mr. Yan, my dad runs an electronics factory."
"Oh! It's even better after using it. Our project is to study the mass production technology of this equipment. We strive to develop the mass production manufacturing process of this equipment in the shortest time and complete commercialization as soon as possible." Professor Yan has no doubt that he has , nodded, and introduced to Zhou Xing:
"How many nanometers is this equipment?" Zhou Xing frowned, a little confused:
"It is 5 nanometers. It is a major achievement of our group of old guys in recent years." Facing Zhou Xing's puzzled eyes, Professor Yan proudly introduced to Zhou Xing:
"Mr. Yan, laboratory equipment must be converted into mass-produced manufacturing processes. This project is not so difficult!" Zhou Xing's eyes fell on Professor Yan's old face with deep meaning:
"Cough, cough... No matter how difficult it is, we have to bite the bullet. This is a key national project. We cannot have any say in the semiconductor field. Once the mass production process of this equipment is successfully developed, it will save the country every year. 200 billion U.S. dollars of foreign exchange can even earn money from foreigners. This project is crucial to the development of the country." Professor Yan coughed a few times in embarrassment, his face straightened, and he introduced seriously:
Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded silently. Photolithography machines and etching machines are the core manufacturing technologies for the production of semiconductors and are firmly in the hands of foreign giants. It is not difficult for China to make a breakthrough in this field.
If advanced technology is one step behind, it will cost a hundred times more to catch up. The giants will never let Chinese chips break through easily. You must know that 90% of China's chips are purchased from them. How could they be willing to lose such a big customer? Instead, there is an extra competitor.
Can the laboratory, myself, and two or three kittens carry out such a large project? Zhou Xing frowned and looked at Professor Yan in confusion: "Mr. Yan, we can't be the only ones in such a big project, right?"
"Of course not. I am leading a sub-project of this project: 'Mass production development process of ion generator'." Professor Yan quickly waved his hand and said:
"Okay, I understand." Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded:
"Okay, these are relevant information. You should familiarize yourself with it first. If you encounter any questions, you are welcome to ask me at any time!" Professor Yan picked up a document from the experimental table and handed it to Zhou Xing, saying happily:
"Well, Mr. Yan, I have a question now. How to calculate the project bonus? Who owns the ownership of the new patents generated during the research and development process?" Zhou Xing took the document and asked seriously:
"The project bonus depends on the contribution of the research results. We borrow the school's laboratory for research and development. As for the ownership of the new patent, of course it belongs to the school." Professor Yan was stunned for a moment and quickly explained to Zhou Xing:
"Well, Professor, if this is the case, I will not join this project!" Zhou Xing frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly shook his head:
"What did you say? Why?"
