Zhou Xing had no time to pay attention to the disturbances from the outside world.
For more than a month, Zhou Xing was obsessed with the research of photolithography machines and could not extricate himself.
Lithography machine, one of the core equipment of chip manufacturing, the most cutting-edge equipment in human manufacturing, is the core competitiveness of a country's semiconductor field, involving countless cutting-edge technologies, such as: light source technology, precision proofreading technology, energy micro-control technology, Objective lens technology, light control technology…
Even with Zhou Xiaozhi's assistance, Zhou Xing still needs to invest a lot of energy in research. Photolithography machines with processes below 10 nanometers have almost entered the limit of human technology. It is very difficult to go further.
In the virtual laboratory, precision parts were floating in the air. Zhou Xiaozhi stood aside, staring nervously at Zhou Xing with his big eyes, ready to obey orders.
Zhou Xing was focused and devoted himself to assembling a new lithography machine through three-dimensional simulated images.
"The laser is embedded, the correctors are compared, and the beam shaping module is placed." Zhou Xing ordered to Zhou Xiaozhi:
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi's face tightened and he immediately followed Zhou Xing's instructions.
The cone-shaped laser floating in the air slowly fell into the frame instrument, the laser was corrected, and the light speed shaping module followed.
Exposure plate, energy monitor, mask, objective lens, exposure table, abutment... Under Zhou Xing's instructions, the subsystem modules of the lithography machine were installed one by one by Zhou Xiaozhi.
In the blink of an eye, a photolithography machine appeared in front of Zhou Xing.
For more than a month, Zhou Xing conquered all the components of the lithography machine one by one. Among them, the light source system was the most difficult, which took him most of his time.
"Now for testing." After the lithography machine was assembled, Zhou Xing happily ordered:
"Understood!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in agreement. Immediately, the lithography machine suddenly energized and started running under his control. The energy gathered, the laser hissed, and with a "pop" sound, the lithography machine entered full operation.
Soon, a light screen appeared in front of Zhou Xing and began to display three-dimensional pictures and various monitoring data and picture information.
"Boss, the lithography machine system is operating normally, the exposure contacts are working normally, the precision alignment is error-free, and the lithography process has begun." Zhou Xiaozhi excitedly reported the observation results to Zhou Xing:
"Okay!" Zhou Xing's eyes showed surprise. After more than a month of hard work, the result was finally coming.
It's a pity.
The 5-nanometer lithography machine has been successfully developed in the virtual laboratory, but there are still many problems that need to be solved in replicating and trial-manufacturing this lithography machine in the real world.
However, it was successful after all.
Zhou Xing raised his eyebrows in joy, unable to hide the joy on his face.
Just when Zhou Xing was enjoying the fruits of scientific research, a piece of information that surprised him suddenly popped up in his mind.
The golden system task panel suddenly appeared in his mind, and colorful fireworks continued to erupt in the dark sky behind the panel, exploding into colorful fireworks.
Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission: Become famous early.
Conditions for completing the task: Independently publish a paper with an impact factor of B or above
Task status: Completed.
Mission rating: S level
Mission reward: an S-level mysterious gift bag.
"System, is it an S-level evaluation?" Zhou Xing couldn't suppress his excitement and asked with a trembling voice:
"Yes, congratulations to your host! The depth and influence of the 'Binary Criteria and Variables' paper have reached an S-level rating." The system replied with certainty:
"Gift bag, what's in the S-class mysterious gift bag?" Zhou Xing perked up and urged, his eyes shining:
"Host, the gift package has been sent, please open it yourself."
As soon as the system finished speaking, a cloth bag inlaid with colorful gems suddenly fell on Zhou Xing's hands. It felt heavy. A golden rope as thick as a thumb was tied to the mouth of the bag.
Suddenly seeing such a dazzling and gorgeous gift bag, Zhou Xing grinned and complained happily: "System, you are such a slut!"
"Host, the next task has been dispatched. Please check it and work hard to complete it." The system ignored Zhou Xing's words and announced directly:
Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and consciously "looked" towards the task panel.
Main mission: Live up to its name. Mission completion conditions: Develop an invention that is beneficial to human society and improve human happiness: C level or above, mission period: 1 year, mission reward: unknown, mission penalty: unknown.
(Task tip: The true meaning of science is to enhance human knowledge and improve human ability to control natural forces for the benefit of all mankind. Since you have embarked on the journey of a great scientist, start becoming a veritable scientist from today! Work hard! Fight hard! Future great scientists!)
After reading the mission panel, Zhou Xing's face darkened, and the joy of just getting the S-level mysterious gift package suddenly disappeared.
Damn it!
It’s such a vague mission requirement again. If you don’t explain it clearly, who knows what it means to improve human happiness
Zhou Xing asked angrily: "System, what is human happiness? You should explain it to me first!"
"Host, happiness includes satisfaction for the present and hope for the future. Human happiness is a unified unit of measurement. To satisfy the happiness of most people, the happiness degree is: increased. If the happiness of most people decreases, the happiness degree: Decline." The system explained to Zhou Xing:
"What kind of things should be done to increase C-level happiness?" Unexpectedly, he would get a systematic answer. Zhou Xing perked up and continued to ask:
"The ways to improve human happiness include: eliminating the threat of war, overcoming diseases, enjoying entertainment, optimizing the living environment... etc. As for the level of influence, the host, please explore on your own." The system explained half of Zhou Xing's words:
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was silent for a while, knowing that if he continued to ask questions in a systematic manner, he would definitely not get an answer.
"Am I a scientist now?" Zhou Xing suddenly remembered something and asked the system:
"Yes, host, please pay attention to the attribute panel. The scientist reputation system has been turned on. Your current reputation level belongs to: Little scientist, please keep up your efforts and become a great scientist as soon as possible!" The system reminded Zhou Xing:
Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment and quickly looked at the character attribute panel.
