More than an hour later, the luxury bus drove into the gate of a large laboratory north of the city of Yanjing.

This large-scale laboratory is jointly invested and built by Huaxing Group and the Institute of Laser Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is mainly used to develop a new type of light source.

Previously, the Institute of Laser Physics and Chemistry cooperated with Aihua Technology Co., Ltd. to develop laser reading and writing heads, and made a lot of money by relying on this, and then the cooperation with Huaxing Group became deeper and deeper, and successively undertook the development and production of two kinds of krypton fluoride and argon fluoride laser light sources of Ruixing Technology Company.

At the same time, the Institute of Laser Physics and Chemistry has also developed laser welding equipment of different powers, high-precision laser testing equipment and optical communication equipment for Huaxing Group, so that the Institute of Laser Physics and Chemistry has obtained huge profits, and has now become the most advanced technology and the largest laser high-tech company in China.

Huaxing Group also holds a large part of the shares in the company established by laser physics and chemistry, and is the largest shareholder.

A few years ago, the Institute of Laser Physics and Chemistry also undertook the development of the extreme ultraviolet light source, and after several years of development, the laboratory finally developed the prototype of this light source, and successfully launched the first extreme ultraviolet beam.

The headquarters of Huaxing Group Company also reported to Yang Jie for the first time, and Yang Jie, who received the news, also rushed back as soon as possible.

The main laboratory building is huge, a huge circular building, with a glass roof and walls supported by 2,000 columns and a reinforced concrete foundation 1 meter thick to ensure the stability required for micron accuracy throughout the installation and operation of the storage ring.

At night, the lights illuminate the inside of the laboratory.

After Yang Jie entered the laboratory, he also visited the laboratory carefully under the leadership of a group of laboratory managers.

The large light source is installed in the ring hall, with injectors, intensifiers and controls in the central area, and staff rooms and laboratories designed for the different needs of multiple disciplines in Wài Wéi and nearby buildings.

This light source device consists of a linear accelerator, an intensifier, a storage ring, a beam lead-out, a beam line, and an experimental station. The incomparably large experimental device is capable of generating electron beams of more than 300 megavolts, and when forced into a circular orbit by a magnet, these clusters travel at close to the speed of light, passing through the various elements of the free electron laser amplifier in turn, and then emitting bright extreme ultraviolet and X-ray light through an array of oscillators with a total length of 18 meters, which are transported to the experimental station through the beamline.

This device is not specially developed for lithography machines, but is mainly used for experiments, with this light source 10 billion times brighter than the sun, almost all atoms and molecules have nowhere to hide, and you can clearly see the activities of atoms, molecules and viruses under various conditions.

This is undoubtedly an incomparable tool for the research of energy, chemistry, physics, biology, materials, atmospheric haze, lithography and other important fields.

Although the second-generation synchrotron radiation light source was also built in China, the scale of this laboratory is very small and can only meet the needs of a small part of domestic scientists.

At this stage, a company of Huaxing Group Company needs synchrotron radiation light sources to do a large number of experiments every year, and the second-generation synchrotron radiation light sources in China can not meet the needs at all, so they can only go to the high-energy synchrotron radiation large-scale laboratories in Eagle Sauce, Gallic Chicken, John Cow, Neon Country, Spain, and Germany to do experiments.

These countries have a large number of scientific research teams to carry out experiments in their own countries, and Huaxing Group naturally has to queue up, and it also costs a lot of money.

Therefore, Yang Jie also moved the idea of building a large-scale laboratory for the third-generation synchrotron radiation light source, which was built for experimental purposes and prepared for the research and development of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine light sources.

At this stage, only the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory under the Eagle Sauce Department of Energy has built the world's brightest light source for ultraviolet and soft X-ray beams and the world's first third-generation synchrotron radiation light source in its energy area in March 1993.

It is also Eagle Sauce that has such a set of experimental testing tools that makes it possible to conduct research that was not possible before.

This device produces light in the far-ultraviolet and soft X-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths between 10 nanometers and 0.1 microns, making it a good tool for studying matter.

This light source penetrates the inside of the substance, just as a dentist looks at the inside of your gums with x-rays.

Because nothing smaller than the wavelength of light used cannot be "seen", if atoms or molecules are to be studied, light waves of comparable or smaller size must be used, and the light source produced by this device has a wavelength of about the size of atoms, molecules, chemical bonds, and the atomic planes in the crystal – the distance between atoms, chemical bonds, and atomic planes in the crystal is all a few angstroms, about the same wavelength as this set of light sources.

It is also with this set of devices that the scientists in Eagle Sauce China can detect and analyze the escaping electrons or photons, and learn more about the structure and behavior of the atoms and matter they have discovered. Such analyses serve a number of purposes, including detecting the presence and abundance of rare elements from the emission samples and providing images showing the structure of matter.

Because the X-rays produced by this light source are 100 million times brighter than the X-rays produced by the highest-power X-ray tubes used in dentist machines, the high brightness means that the X-rays are highly concentrated, so X-ray photons per second can be directed to a very small area of a material.

Previously, X-ray tubes often had a limited beam flow that could be extended for hours like this device, and scientists could use this advantage for experiments that would take a long time, such as scanning the surface of a material for impurities.

The biggest advantage of this light source is its brightness, the X-ray beam it produces is compared to the X-ray beam of the X-ray tube and the flood light, although both of them may produce the same number of photons per second, but the photons produced by this light source are concentrated in a small area, while the photons produced by the X-ray tube are distributed everywhere.

It is precisely this feature that scientists can use to do some very specific experiments, to study smaller objects or to select more specific photon energies to study very specific targets.

This extraordinary tool provides unprecedented opportunities for state-of-the-art research in materials science, biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science, and has enabled Eagle Sauce to conduct more than a decade of research in a variety of fields, including probing the electronic structure of matter, semiconductors, magnetic materials, 3D bioimaging, protein crystallography, ozone photochemistry, X-ray microscopy of biological samples, chemical reaction kinetics, A large number of top papers have been published in atomic and molecular physics and optical testing, which have had a significant impact on Eagle Sauce in the field of cutting-edge science and technology.

It is precisely in this way that countries such as Europe and Neon have realized the importance of this scientific research device, and have launched the project of the third generation of synchrotron radiation light sources.
