Chapter 163: Brady's Development Plan
Following Brady, passing by the laboratory, the adjacent room, which used to be a warehouse for polysilicon raw materials and quartz crucibles, has now been opened up by Brady into another laboratory room.
In the middle of the room was an object in the shape of a small boiler, which was an industrial-grade monocrystalline silicon growth furnace, and the amount of one pot in front of me could reach at least ten times that of an experimental-grade growth furnace.
"Professor, it seems that you have a lot of other meaningful work to do during the growth of the furnace......"
Seeing that the main structure has been completed, and there are still filter plates, electrode sleeves, bellows, transmission belts, rotary joints, permanent magnets and other components that have not had time to be installed on the two rows of shelves on the side, it is obvious that the other party has done a lot of extra work.
"I have been designing the drawings of the industrial-grade monocrystalline silicon growth furnace, and these designs have only been on paper due to financial problems.
Now, with the large amount of funds you have allocated to our laboratory, my drawings can not only be immediately converted into actual equipment, but I am also ready to buy a set of internal vision and sensor equipment, so that we can not only grasp the data in the growth process at any time, but also record the entire growth dynamics through the internal vision device, helping us to make continuous improvements in the details later......"
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, a scientist with funds is a real scientist, listening to Brady tell about his spending plan, Yao Fei still agrees, although this set of equipment bought hundreds of thousands of dollars and left, but what is needed is needed. This is especially true when Brady's monocrystalline silicon growth furnace equipment moves from the experimental level to the industrial level.
As we all know, whether it is a physical reaction or a chemical reaction, the adequacy of the reaction is related to its contact surface, don't look at the experimental grade to the industrial grade is just a step forward, but the difficulty of the customer service required is not a star and a half, the same unit of material into the furnace, the experimental grade can be completely heated fully and uniformly, but to the industrial grade growth furnace here does not work, the uneven heating or uneven heating, It's not as simple as the size of the growing furnace has been enlarged several times on the surface.
And with the help of these observation and detection equipment. At that time, it can be targeted to solve various problems that arise in the growth. Otherwise, there will only be one growth result, and the analysis of the causes can analyze people to death.
"Professor, if you have any funding plans in the future, you can declare them to me in advance. I make the assessment accordingly. It won't have to be like this then. You need to wait until the backup funds are more sufficient before arranging other research projects! ”
Engaging in scientific research is originally a money-burning activity, and if you are not willing to pay for it, you must not be soft when you should spend it. Just like this time, after the advance deposits of major operators have been received, Yao Fei allocated 3 million unplanned research funds to the monocrystalline silicon laboratory without saying a word, otherwise Brady really would not have the money to buy the parts needed for the growth furnace and the equipment needed for the experiment.
"I understand this, but it's still affected by some of the previous ones!"
When he was in charge of research in the laboratory invested by Warburg Pincus, he had a lot of skills in burning money, and it was for this reason that Bob did not dare to continue playing with him.
Now that Yao Fei is here, on the one hand, the application of new technologies has slowed down the speed at which he spends money, and on the other hand, there are also some results of his deliberate careful calculation, otherwise if he spends money at the same rate before, the current monthly research funds are only enough for 10 days, and the experimental-grade growth furnace will not be only two, at least five furnaces must be opened at the same time......
"Understand, but it's not necessary at all, as long as the use of funds is reasonable, I will support it unconditionally!"
It seems that the impact of the previous events on Brady is really not small, and the follow-up negative effects have not disappeared until now, but all Yao Fei can give in this regard is theoretical and technical and financial support, and if the psychological wounds want to be truly healed, I am afraid he still has to rely on himself, maybe only when they really master the industrial-grade monocrystalline silicon growth process and successfully grow 6N-grade monocrystalline silicon rods, is the time for him to really hold his head high.
"Thank you, let me introduce the situation to you, such an industrial-grade growth furnace, we plan to start the furnace when we find the best magnetic field position, and according to the actual needs, we will gradually increase the number of growth furnaces from the current one to three or four......"
Yao Fei was generous, and of course Brady was not polite, and immediately took out the idea he was still brewing in his head.
"Okay, you can just look at this, but I suggest that the research work is better gradual."
Nima, give you some color and you will open a dyeing workshop, the growth furnace in front of you has not been installed, and the location of the magnetic field applied by the experimental growth furnace has not been found, at this time, I will talk to him about increasing the industrial grade growth furnace to three or four, can we still talk well together.
"I know this, now say it in advance, so that the boss can make some arrangements in advance!"
Brady's words are completely serious, and they are reasonable, so that Yao Fei really wants to say something, in fact, the most ferocious people who ask for money are not those fierce debt collection companies, but a group of creatures belonging to the species of scientists in front of them, because they stretched out their hands to you, even if they can give a little discount, but they will definitely not be able to run.
"Well, I will consider it, in addition, professor, on the side of the Chinese mainland company, our company may also establish another monocrystalline silicon laboratory, and I hope that the professor can give them some help in some aspects, and can sort out the entire experimental data."
But don't worry, I can guarantee that this laboratory will exist for a long time, and the experimental funds will not be reduced because of this, we have an ancient saying in China called the strength of many people, when the time comes, I hope that your two laboratories can maintain uninterrupted communication, and then achieve the purpose of learning from each other and making progress from each other, is there any problem, professor? ”
Regardless of the progress of the experiment here, the laboratory on the mainland side still has to be established, and the technology is constantly developing, Yao Fei clearly knows that in addition to the monocrystalline silicon preparation methods he knows, there are many other process methods with great development potential but still a certain distance from mass production.
"I'm glad, if I can, I hope to go to that mysterious continent from time to time for a certain amount of time to communicate!"
To Yao Fei's surprise, he didn't expect Brady to agree so simply.
"Thank you very much, Professor, it's time to enjoy dinner, and we can talk while we eat again."
For the generosity of others, Yao Fei can only thank them first, and then respond to their needs.
"I'm so sorry, I have to go home for dinner, I already promised those two little ones in advance when I went out in the morning......"
Regarding Yao Fei's invitation, Brady spread his hands and said apologetically.
"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to go to Mr. Sanders for a bite to eat......" (To be continued......
