Xu Yun was somewhat surprised when he learned that the two top core journals of science and nature had validated his paper and published a text message so quickly. However, compared with the lackluster performance overseas, it was basically within his expectations.

In the final analysis, high-end photoresist alone cannot change anything, at least it cannot affect the pattern of the semiconductor industry.

Overseas companies have no fear, so it naturally doesn't matter.

Xu Yun is very aware of this, but it is definitely not so easy to completely realize the localization of the high-end chip manufacturing supply chain.

In addition to the time and money required, there is also the continuous effort of researchers.

Fortunately, after the new high-end photoresist was confirmed, there was no new movement on the Shin-Etsu chemical side for the time being.

It's May.

In addition to lecturing at school, Xu Yun took time to go to the artificial intelligence laboratory by the way.

Under the introduction of Yan Kaiming, the person in charge, I learned that the research on intelligent driving is going very smoothly, and many problems that were previously called difficult can be easily solved by relying on the clumsy intelligent model that continues to increase in ability.

If nothing else, when the Trailblazer solid-state battery new energy vehicle is officially launched on the market, it will be equipped with the latest intelligent driving functions.

This morning, Xu Yun was preparing for class in his office, when suddenly the sound of conversation outside caught his attention.

Hearing a familiar voice, he stopped and got up and walked towards the door.

He took the initiative to open the door, and several figures suddenly entered in his field of vision.

"Headmaster?"

Seeing that the person who came was Wu Zhongping, the president of Jingzhou University, he subconsciously blurted out a question.

I was a little surprised.

After he became a full professor at the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics at Beijing University, it was naturally not suitable for him to continue to call Wu Zhongping his mentor, so there were not many opportunities to meet in school.

It can be said that it can be counted with one hand.

Most professors and deans are present only when the university holds a large event or conference.

Except for the principal, who has a lot to do, he is not very idle.

There was nothing special today, and the headmaster's sudden arrival in his office was indeed unexpected.

The key was followed by others.

Qin Xiangxin, Dean of the Department of Mathematics and the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics.

Xu Chongxing.

Sun Zhenghong, Academy of Materials Engineering.

There was also a middle-aged man who looked to be about sixty years old, wearing a pair of narrow-rimmed eyeglasses with an oval on his face, and although he was sure that he had never seen each other before, he always felt familiar for some reason.

With so many bigwigs in the academic world gathered together, Xu Yun didn't need to think and knew that there must be something important.

hurriedly dodged to invite everyone in, and took the initiative to pour water.

Wu Zhongping and Qin Xiangxin naturally wouldn't be polite to Xu Yun, and when they walked into the office, they sat down on the sofa next to them very familiarly.

"Everyone sits down first, there are no academic rules in Professor Xu."

"Just call me Xiao Xu." Xu Yun came over with a glass of water, and when he heard the words in Wu Zhongping's mouth, a smile appeared on his face and he took over the conversation.

Wu Zhongping's greatest glory is that Beijing University trained Xu Yun, and he is also his graduate student.

The key is that Xu Yun does not have the slightest arrogance of a young man.

Humble and talented juniors who don't like it.

Seeing Xu Yun coming over, without waiting for him to put down the water glass, he pulled him to introduce the strange middle-aged man.

"Dean Hou, this is the youngest full professor of our Beijing University."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xu Yun and said, "Xiao Xu, hurry up and say hello to Dean Hou of the Academy of Sciences." ”

"Hello Dean Hou."

Hearing this, Xu Yun hurriedly spoke.

While saying hello on the lips, the mind is also running fast.

He is naturally no stranger to Hou Shengchang, the current president of the National Academy of Sciences.

No wonder there is a sense of familiarity.

As a person in the academic circle, he is also a professor at Beijing University.

Although I didn't have the opportunity to meet Hou Shengchang himself offline before, I will definitely not see many photos and names.

"As a national key talent in your twenties, you have broken many academic records one after another, and you are much more famous than me, the dean of the Academy of Sciences." Hou Shengchang was obviously no stranger to Xu Yun, looked at Xu Yun seriously, smiled and joked in front of everyone: "Your Jingzhou University has cultivated an amazing young genius scientist." ”

"This little guy is a monster, it's just a waste of time to spend solving math problems."

Sun Zhenghong next to him heard Hou Shengchang's evaluation, and couldn't help but take the conversation and complain a little.

He believes that Xu Yun's talent in the field of materials is unparalleled, and if he had studied materials chemistry earlier, he might have led the materials industry to achieve a major breakthrough.

There are all kinds of superconducting materials at room temperature.

The main solution to the world's mathematical problems is the theoretical level, which is difficult to apply in a short period of time.

But the time to be invested is enormous.

What's more, Xu Yun also solved two problems.

That is to say, Xu Yun's talent is outstanding enough to bring theoretical mathematics to a huge level in a short period of time.

Otherwise, if Zhang Yitang has spent half his life studying twin primes, it will definitely be a major loss to the materials industry.

However, although these words were a recognition of Xu Yun's strength, he felt a little uncomfortable in his ears when he heard it.

It's okay to dismantle the stage in front of him, the dean of the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics.

The next second, he retorted with his throat.

"Lao Sun, I don't agree with what you say, Xiao Xu has solved two world mathematical problems in a row and won the three major awards in mathematics, and his contribution to mankind is no worse than the achievement in materials."

"There's no theory where it can be applied."

When he said the last sentence, he didn't forget to look at Sun Zhenghong.

The debate between the two seemed to open up the conversation, which made Xu Chongxing unable to bear to speak.

"According to me, it will be fine if you came directly to our courtyard." There seemed to be a lot of regret in his tone.

Listening to the arguments of several academic giants, Xu Yun can also be said to be crying and laughing and has to know what to say, after all, it is not good to be good to anyone with their identity and authority.

In the end, Hou Shengchang smiled and played a round.

"Xiao Xu is an all-round talent, you have such a young genius scientist in Beijing University, I'm afraid you usually have a lot of fun."

"This ......"

seemed to be poked by Hou Shengchang, and several people were suddenly a little embarrassed.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, in addition to being famous for their academic achievements in the academic world, when it comes to Sun Zhenghong and Qin Xiangxin, at his age, it is to see who has excellent students.

In particular, the competition between universities is fierce.

Jingzhou University has Xu Yun, and they usually talk about it when they go to other universities to participate in exchange activities.

This point can't even be compared to the Imperial Capital University.

Seeing that he hadn't gotten into the topic for a long time, Wu Zhongping, who had finished drinking tea, was finally willing to interject.

"Alright."

"Dean Hou came here this time for business, so don't make a noise."

Xu Yun also became interested when he heard this, and turned his eyes to Hou Shengchang and took the initiative to ask: "I don't know what Dean Hou is looking for me, as long as the students do their best, they will definitely go all out." "Be the first to show your attitude to the other party.

He couldn't think of anything else to get the dean of the Academy of Sciences to come in person except for the project.

If that's the case, you'll definitely have to participate in key projects.

Really.

When Hou Shengchang heard this, his face suddenly filled with smiles.

Very gratifying.

"As the youngest genius scientist, it is a blessing for the country to have this kind of awareness."

Stretched out his hand and patted Xu Yun's shoulder and praised him, and then explained the purpose of the trip in detail.

"What you Principal Wu said is right, I really have something serious to do this time, and I came from the imperial capital specifically for you."

"The new high-end photoresist has been confirmed, which fills the gap in this area of our face, and we do not need to continue to invest too many resources in research and development.

"We're going to have to tackle this problem."

As Hou Shengchang's words fell, everyone couldn't help but fall silent.

The emergence of new domestic high-end photoresists has successfully mobilized the confidence and passion of the public.

The actual effect is limited.

Treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

As authorities in the scientific community, they are all too clear about the real situation.

Not only high-end photoresists and lithography machines, but also the entire related industrial chain equipment cannot be purchased from outside.

It's important to know that the entire supply chain is made up of a large number of different companies, all of which hold patents for their own technologies.

If you want to localize it all, the difficulty can be imagined.

Xu Yun knew very well that he had just solved the problem of high-end photoresist by chance, and Hou Shengchang came to the door to invite him to participate in the project, which would inevitably be related to the field of high-end chip manufacturing of lithography machines.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

When it comes to this, there is no need to sell off, and it is often more efficient to go straight.

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yun immediately asked: "Dean Hou wants me to develop a domestic extreme ultraviolet high-end lithography machine?" ”

"That's pretty much what it means."

"After the research decision, the institute is ready to withdraw the resources of photoresist research for the research and development of lithography machines, in addition to more financial support, most universities will participate to ensure the integrity of the supply chain."

"The institute is ready to hire you as a researcher to go to the Institute of Optoelectronics of the Academy of Sciences to be responsible for the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project."

Listening to Hou Shengchang's words in his ears, Xu Yun basically had a clearer understanding of the situation.

The universities are responsible for the research and development of various supply chain equipment or technologies for high-end chip manufacturing, and he is mainly responsible for solving the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, so that with the addition of high-end photoresist, the entire industrial chain can be localized, and it will gradually occupy a dominant position in the semiconductor industry.

It is imminent to solve the problem of high-end chip manufacturing, and he has no reason to refuse whether or not the task will be generated.

This is the duty of a pure scientific researcher.

In addition, he is not worried about the development of high-end lithography machines, in addition to the knowledge of various disciplines contained in them, he still has plenty of points and up to eight hours of brain overclocking time left.

It's enough to find a solution to a problem.

And just as he was thinking about this, Hou Shengchang on the other side was worried that he had any concerns, so he didn't say yes for a long time.

So he immediately added: "If you can lead the team to successfully develop an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, the academy can give you the status of an academician in advance." ”

"An academician of the Academy of Sciences who is less than 30 years old, the only one in the country."

"I think you should also know that with your current achievements, although it is only a matter of time before academicians are selected, there is a very big gap between academicians who are less than 30 years old and academicians who are 40 years old."

Xu Yun really didn't expect Hou Shengchang to give him such a big surprise, and even opened the academician chips.

As the other party said, his selection of academicians is indeed a sure thing, and there is no possibility of any bloody changes.

But according to the normal selection regulations, this time must be early.

If he can really go through special channels to obtain the status of an academician in advance, he is naturally more willing.

Besides, he had no intention of refusing.

At this time, Xu Yun did not continue to delay, and hurriedly opened his mouth to express his attitude.

"Dean Hou, don't worry."

"What I like the most is challenging projects, which allows me to grow faster."

"I'll go to the Institute of Optoelectronic Technology."

Speaking of which, he also made a small request of his own.

"However, I'm afraid I can't handle the position of project leader, so I'd better hand it over to the original project leader."

He is well aware of the importance of this project, and I am afraid that the main members will all be academicians and full professors, and it is better to be an ordinary project member than to be the person in charge of arranging tasks for them to solve the problems they encounter.

It's just that Hou Shengchang insisted on his own point of view on this matter.

"You don't have to have any psychological burden, in terms of age, you can do more things than those old guys when you are younger, and who can have more major skills than you can overcome in terms of qualifications."

"The replacement of a young person in charge of the project may bring unexpected surprises."

Hou Shengchang said it to such an extent, Xu Yun was embarrassed to refuse.

Speaking of which, he has not yet served as the head of such a major project.

Pressure is motivation.

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yun had to agree.

"I understand Dean Hou, and I will do my best to lead the team to complete this project."

"That's good."

"I won't say anything about relief, in short, I believe in you, and I look forward to the day when the first domestic high-end lithography machine is delivered." Hou Shengchang had a smile on his face, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yun's ability to solve the world's mathematical problems, develop shaped fluorocarbon polymer materials and promote the revolution of traditional lithium batteries has truly proved his strong strength, coupled with the example of a new type of photoresist, I believe that the project of the lithography machine will not disappoint.

As the president of the Academy of Sciences, Hou Shengchang is undoubtedly a busy man.

The kind that is busier than Wu Zhongping.

Successfully solve Xu Yun's matter, naturally he will not choose to stay here for too long.

Immediately afterwards, he arranged a few more words for Xu Yun, asking him to leave for the Institute of Optoelectronic Technology as soon as possible, and then hurriedly left Jingzhou University and returned to the imperial capital.

After a while, when only Wu Zhongping, Xu Chongxing, Sun Zheng, Hong and Qin Xiangxin were left in the office, their eyes were all focused on Xu Yun and looked carefully.

For a key project of this level, it is not easy for them to be the project leader even if they are academicians.

However, Xu Yun is less than thirty, and in addition to being a full professor, he now has the status of a distinguished researcher of the Academy of Sciences.

It's really envious.

At this moment, Xu Yun met the slightly hot gazes of several people, and he couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.

Subconsciously asked.

"Is there something on my face?"

It's a pity that a few people didn't answer, and they also got up and walked outside the office with a smile on their lips.

"Why was I so stupid when I was younger, it seems like I became a research associate in my thirties."

"It's enviable."

"If our school can produce an academician with less than thirty academicians, the ranking of teachers may not be worse than that of Qinghua."

Listening to these words in his ears, Xu Yun couldn't cry or laugh.

He didn't go out to see them off, but turned back to his seat and thought about it.

The evaluation of the professional title of the Academy of Sciences is different from that of universities, and according to the regulations, associate researchers are basically equal to associate professors.

He is also a distinguished researcher.

Further up are the academicians.

He will also be promoted to a first-class professor.

The Institute of Optoelectronic Technology of the Academy of Sciences is located in Jincheng, and it is a long trip to be in charge of the project this time.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to worry too much about things on the company's side, and he can solve things remotely.

With Chen Shihe accompanying her mother at home, she will not feel bored.

However, the plan to have a child needs to be as advanced as possible, in addition to allowing the mother to have more spiritual support, it will not cause too much burden on Chen Shihe's body at this age.

Otherwise, after 30, you will become an elderly mother.

In fact, although Chen Shihe and her mother did not say it explicitly, they usually showed that they wanted children.

So before going to Jincheng, this matter can be well arranged.

After roughly thinking about the next few days, Xu Yun did not choose to continue to stay in the office, but returned home to inform his family first.

……

……

Draw the resources of the photoresist project, and cooperate with major universities to participate in the research and development of the domestic high-end chip manufacturing industry chain.

Xu Yun is in charge of the project leader of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.

A series of changes can be said to be the biggest news for the entire semiconductor industry.

It is highly likely to bring about a revolution in the semiconductor industry.

Every time Xu Yun comes into contact with a project, it will lead to earth-shaking changes in his field.

For example, the battery industry and the field of artificial intelligence.

Now that Xu Yun has finally set foot in lithography machines, this is definitely not good news for companies that firmly occupy the vast majority of the global share.

However, domestic netizens are completely different, and they are excited when the relevant news comes out from the official report.

For a long time, many people hoped that Xu Yun could solve the problem of lithography machine, but because the technology involved was too large, more people did not have much hope for Xu Yun.

But as Xu Yun continues to create miracles, and now he has successfully synthesized a new type of high-end photoresist, it seems that the time is the most ripe.

The state of netizens can be called a kind of fanaticism.

Even if someone put forward a more conservative point of view, thinking that even if Xu Yun participated, it would not be possible to solve the problem of high-end chip manufacturing 100%, but the comment was covered as soon as it was issued.

"Finally, when the day comes, Professor Xu is in charge of the research and development of the lithography machine, and he will definitely be able to make results."

"It's long overdue."

"It seems that this time I am determined to get a high-end lithography machine, and this battle is really not small."

"Believe in Xu Shen."

"Being able to directly put Professor Xu in charge of this major project shows that the above attaches great importance to Professor Xu, and it seems that we can look forward to it.

"It's not so simple to realize the localization of high-end chip manufacturing, so don't get your hopes up, I'm really worried about what will happen if Professor Xu fails to complete this project by then."
