Chapter 250: Special Laboratory
Chen Weidong thought in his heart for a while, and said: "So, have you put your ideas into practice?" ”
"We don't have any money." Yu Guangbin's voice was three points shorter, and he said softly.
"What?" Chen Weidong was stunned.
He thought of everything, but he didn't expect Yu Guangbin to come up with such a sentence for him.
No money?
Photon computer is a key project that he personally formulated, and other scientific research projects may say that there is no money, but it cannot be without money!
He glanced at Lin Zeju, and the other party stopped talking.
So, did Lin Zejuke deduct their research funds from Yu Guangbin?
Although the allocation of funds is mainly within the purview of the Academic Committee, they absolutely dare not carry out their own instructions, no matter how big their opinions are, they will allocate money to Yu Guangbin and them.
In the whole company, there are only three people who dare to do this: Third Uncle, Lin Zeju, and Li Xi'er.
The third uncle is definitely not interested in caring about this, and Li Xi'er is impossible, even if she does, she will definitely tell herself.
Obviously, Lin Zeju was heartbroken when he saw the bottomless pit of light brain project investment.
Lin Zeju opened his mouth to explain, but Chen Weidong stopped in front of him and said, "How much money do you need?" ”
As one of the general managers of the company, Lin Zeju terminated the appropriation, but also for the sake of the company, Chen Weidong could not damage the authority of his general manager in front of his subordinates.
It's better to pretend not to know, just grant the money and don't ask anything.
Yu Guangbin and Cen Jingping cried with joy.
In the first year, they spent lavishly, even extravagantly and wastefully, but because of their lack of achievements, they gradually received everyone's eyes and felt ashamed.
Lin Zeju reduced their funds, and they didn't dare to fight.
Now that the willows are finally bright, the boss himself spoke, and the tears of excitement fell down the two of them.
They didn't dare to open their mouths to ask for as much as they wanted, and after thinking for a long time, they cautiously said, "Can you give us five million?" ”
"Other problems are not big, such as the production of miniature laser conversion device, we already have rich experience, the cost is not much, but to make light to open the light, because gallium arsenide extraction is more difficult, the production is difficult, the cost will be higher, so it needs more funds.....
They spoke, their voices getting quieter and quieter.
"Extraction? You don't buy gallium arsenide directly from the market .... Forget it, I'll give you as much as you want, but I hope you can regroup this time and realize the optoelectronic hybrid computer as soon as possible! ”
Chen Weidong said half of it, and then he didn't say anything.
Buying gallium arsenide wafers directly on the market is certainly not a hassle, but a few million can't buy much.
Yourself, let's support them again, it's not bad to make an optoelectronic hybrid computer, which is about ten times faster than the fastest computer in the world at present.
The point is, I don't know if they can figure it out.
Temporarily solved the problem of the photonic computer project team, Chen Weidong asked Zhao Gong of the mechanical department again: "Is the failure rate of our chip automation assembly line high?" ”
If we can accelerate the expansion of the mass production of chips, we can fully alleviate the domestic demand for semiconductor imports.
It can also save a large amount of foreign exchange every year, which plays a major role in stabilizing the exchange rate of the local currency and resisting financial risks.
Zhao Gong lowered his head and discussed with a researcher, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Chen, the automated assembly line is different from the laboratory development, strictly speaking, the accuracy of the assembly line is not as high as the requirements of the laboratory. ”
"You also know that the automated assembly line is a precision equipment, and there is a problem with any precision equipment, that is, the main components, and the elimination rate is very high."
"If there is a slight wear error, the relevant parts need to be replaced, otherwise it is difficult to maintain the same accuracy."
"The assembly line is easy to do, like in the production process of chips, with the help of high-precision measuring instruments, it only takes a few hours to replace parts."
"But the laboratory is different, especially the lithography machine, equipped with an automation auxiliary instrument, its accuracy requirements are almost the most demanding, representing the world's most advanced semiconductor technology."
"Even a 10-nanometer error will directly affect the success of the experiment."
"For this reason, we must always check the wear and tear of the main components of the lithography machine, as well as the deformation of the components, and once a few precision parts appear, we must quickly replace the relevant parts."
"In order to ensure accuracy, our researchers need to carry out continuous debugging when replacing parts, and the time required for this replacement is likely to be a day or two, or even a week or so."
Chen Weidong frowned, and asked with some curiosity: "Can't you use alloy parts to ensure a long maintenance-free time?" ”
"We have used alloys for our main components, but if we want to improve the service life, we can only use special alloys with higher strength, higher temperature resistance and less wear and tear."
"Unless, unless we can supply a large number of special alloys, there is no way...."Liu Weitao, as the current head of the materials department, patiently explained.
"Materials, materials...."Chen Weidong's head is big, this seemingly ordinary basic discipline, but it is a reality that most industries must face.
If the quality of the material is not up to par, many things cannot be made.
Materials are all-encompassing and ubiquitous in the world.
Eating, wearing, living and traveling, everyone will encounter many materials such as metal, rubber, magnetic, photoelectric and so on every day.
From a needle, a piece of paper, a plastic bag, and a piece of clothing, to transportation, medical equipment, engineering construction, information and communication, aerospace, and materials science is everywhere.
But the research of special alloys is also a very money-burning project.
It takes a lot of experimental testing to determine the most stable and compliant alloy formulation.
Especially in some special fields, it is because of the delay in the progress of materials science, which leads to the failure of many projects to be realized.
"Let's set up a special laboratory, which is completely operated by robots...."Chen Weidong said his idea again, and asked everyone present to judge and supplement his idea from a professional point of view.
"It's... Will this work? Zhao Gong listened to his thoughts and was shocked.
As we all know, what can be repeated is called science.
At the time of each experiment, researchers will have a recorder to record every step of the experiment.
The responsibility of the recorder is to decompose each operation process of the experiment into many steps, and record the experimental results and data of each step truthfully.
Then, repeat the experiment to be as close as possible to the original experiment.
Even if the experiment is successful, it is extremely difficult for you to repeat the previous experiment exactly, even though there is a very good record of the experiment.
Many times, we may inadvertently succeed once in the first experiment, but then, after spending months or even years, we will not be able to make a breakthrough and make a chance become inevitable.
Because there are always mistakes in people, the human hand is not the most sophisticated instrument, because of a mistake in operation, the whole experiment falls short, which is also a very normal thing.
If all operations are performed by robots, the error of the experiment can be minimized.
And they only need to adjust a certain value of the robot, so that the robot can automatically engage in scientific research along a set direction....
Chen's idea goes further than he guessed, but theoretically, it will also be more helpful for the overall scientific research project.
Just, is this realistic?
Liu Weitao and his engineers turned pale with fright, and shouted bitterly: "Mr. Chen, just spare us!" In such a laboratory, although you don't care about the cost of investment, the amount of work is too large! We work hard, and it is enough to complete a laboratory, but we may not succeed. ”
The two of them reported a lot of difficulties in one breath, a laboratory according to Chen Weidong's vision, those robots, different parts, the special alloys required are different, some must be wear-resistant, some must be corrosion-resistant, some must not conduct electricity, and some must be lightweight......
Too much to ask!
These special alloys, even if they are synthesized by themselves, also cost a lot of money, a little bit will take a lot of time, some are not available in China, and they have to be purchased from abroad, and they may not even be able to buy them!
When these problems are solved, they will be processed, and each part will be specially made!
My God, even if everything goes well, it will be a blessing to God to be able to complete the design and installation of a robot in one year!
According to Chen Weidong's plan, a special laboratory, depending on the function, needs about three to five intelligent robots to cooperate with each other.
There are also data collection devices, and the testers also need to be trained, and there needs to be an adaptation process.....
This is simply terrifying!
