"I'm relieved to have your words, maybe the research and development of extreme ultraviolet high-end lithography machines really needs the momentum of your young people." Hou Shengchang listened to Xu Yun's answer with emotion on his face.

Xu Yun moved his buttocks to adjust a comfortable sitting position and said, "I will do my best." ”

"If there is any difficulty in the project, even if you mention it to the hospital, of course, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself." Hou Shengchang thought about it and specially instructed: "In addition, you don't have to worry about EDA software, there are already companies in China developing it." ”

"That's good."

Xu Yun nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Similarly, as a key link in the high-end chip manufacturing industry chain, it is absolutely impossible to achieve localization.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless to invest so many resources in the research and development of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.

When he first saw the statement made by Synsic, he did have the idea of developing domestic EDA software in his mind.

And it's not impossible.

With the current strength and relevant talents of Deepin Technology, coupled with the clumsy assistance of the artificial intelligence model that has been iteratively upgraded to version 3.0, it is not difficult to develop industrial software with stability that is not inferior to overseas, and it is enough to directly connect with domestic wafer factories when the time comes.

Now that he has a company to develop, he naturally doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Just enough to focus all on the research and development of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, saving the delay in the project schedule.

According to his style and consistent performance, he will definitely be able to complete the project one day earlier and never delay it until the next day, and what he pursues can be summed up in two simple words.

Efficiency.

Who made him very unhappy about this overseas approach.

Since the other party is afraid that he is in charge of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project, it is necessary to make the fear turn into fear.

On the way, the two did not continue to communicate.

Putting aside the topic of academics, although Xu Yun is one level lower than Hou Shengchang in terms of professional title, the age gap between the two is very big after all, and they are not Jincheng natives, so it is inevitable that they can't find a suitable topic.

The black van drove for about half an hour before finally arriving at its destination.

Institute of Optoelectronic Technology, Academy of Sciences.

As an institute with a number of national key laboratories, the institute has more than 1,200 employees and two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

In addition, there are several chief scientists in charge of key projects, as well as postdoctoral mobile sites, and the strength is absolutely undoubted.

The vehicle drove through the gate into the institute and eventually stopped next to a building.

Out of the corner of Xu Yun's eyes, he looked outside through the window glass, and suddenly several figures in white research clothes entered the field of vision, and just wanted to take a closer look, Hou Shengchang's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"I'm going to introduce you to some of the people in the office."

"Let's go over."

Xu Yun nodded, pushed the car door open, and followed Hou Shengchang towards the crowd.

Hou Shengchang stopped in front of everyone, and his eyes fell on a man in the middle who also wore glasses and had a somewhat round face.

The next second, a smile appeared on his face and he said hello.

"Lao Luo."

"I brought it to you today, and you have to take good care of Professor Xu."

"If you suffer any grievances, Jingda doesn't want to."

"Don't worry, Dean Hou, Professor Xu can come to participate in the research and development of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, we are too late to be happy, if there is a problem, the hospital will be held accountable." The middle-aged man who was called Lao Luo was very happy, and his eyes were firmly locked on Xu Yun next to him.

Hou Shengchang nodded with satisfaction and introduced to Xu Yun: "This is Academician Luo Changhui Luo in the institute, mainly responsible for the research and development of lithography machines. ”

"Hello Academician Luo."

Xu Yun took the initiative to reach out and shake the other party, so that the smile on his face was as sincere and humble as possible.

In any case, he can be regarded as robbing the project leader of other academicians, and they will cooperate with each other in the future, and they must have a good relationship in advance.

Engaging in research is not about fighting and killing.

No matter how strong an individual is, most of the time it still depends on the team.

Although I don't know what Luo Changhui really thinks in his heart, at least on the surface, he is very happy about his arrival.

"The doctors in our institute are all your fans, and if you can come over and take charge of the project, I guess they won't be able to sleep at night." Luo Changhui looked for a topic with a smile on his face.

And Xu Yun also agrees with this sentence.

After all, as soon as he got out of the car, he noticed the expressions of several young figures behind Luo Changhui.

You can tell that they are trying to control their emotions.

"There are still things in the hospital that I need to go back to deal with, and let Lao Luo introduce to you about the situation in the institute and the specific process of the project." Facing the harmonious scene in front of him, Hou Shengchang did not intend to continue to stay in Jincheng, and turned around and returned to the car after speaking.

He came to Jincheng this time mainly for Xu Yun, and he definitely couldn't leave the imperial capital for too long.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yun took out his luggage, and after watching Hou Shengchang leave with everyone, he turned to look at Luo Changhui and said seriously: "Academician Luo, I want to see the current progress of the project first?" ”

As soon as I arrived at the institute, I wanted to start working immediately.

Luo Changhui was stunned at first, and then faced the young people behind him, showing his stern side.

"Now you finally know that Professor Xu can make so many research results at a young age, not only by talent, but also by diligence."

After the example education, he turned back and explained to Xu Yun:

"Professor Xu."

"It's not early today, I'll let someone familiarize you with the situation in the institute first."

"By the way, arrange the accommodation."

"That's fine, let's leave the project tomorrow." Xu Yun thought for a while and agreed to Luo Changhui's arrangement.

"Xiao Liu, I'll take care of this matter to you."

Luo Changhui called out to one of the tall boys, and after arranging the task, he did not forget to remind: "Remember to introduce Professor Xu to the situation of our institute." ”

"Don't worry, Academician Luo, I promise to complete the task." The selected boy's face was full of excitement, and he appeared next to Xu Yun's luggage in the next second, and naturally took it and lowered the decibel and asked, "That Professor Xu, I'll take you over now." ”

The other people who watched it were very envious.

Xu Yun naturally did not refuse: "Okay, let's go." ”

On the way to the researcher's dormitory, through conversation, Xu Yun knew that the male student in front of him was a postdoctoral fellow in the institute.

He is a researcher assistant for the lithography machine project.

The name is also very easy to remember, and it has the same name as Liu Xing among the children in the family.

With the same personality as Li Hui and Qian Yudong, Liu Xing is also a cheerful and talkative self-acquaintance, although most of the time he talks to himself.

"The first time I knew about Professor Xu, you were still on the evening news, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to be in the same project team so soon, and we are all looking forward to seeing the delivery of domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machines."

Listening to Liu Xing's words, Xu Yun didn't know what to think of, and suddenly asked rhetorically.

"You trust me so much, I've never taken on a lithography machine development project before, and this is the first time."

……

Liu Xing stopped abruptly when he heard this, and he was a little dazed.

Out of admiration for Xu Yun, after learning that Xu Yun was going to be in charge of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project, he had a preconceived idea that the domestic semiconductor field was finally about to usher in the dawn.

For this reason, he has been in high spirits for the past few days.

But when he heard Xu Yun's words, he thought carefully that Xu Yun was good at the fields of mathematics and materials and artificial intelligence, and he was indeed weaker in the related things involved in the lithography machine, so he could not necessarily lead the project team to make rapid progress.

The whole person thought seriously for two seconds, and finally took the initiative to ask Xu Yun with his breath:

"Professor Xu."

"Aren't you sure you're going to conquer the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine?"

Xu Yun's first impression of Liu Xing was not bad, so he still gave his own answer to this question.

"At present, we are indeed facing a lot of problems on extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, but the star-high Mount Everest can be conquered and climbed by human beings, and I believe that we can do what can be done overseas."

"I believe that Professor Xu, you will definitely be able to solve the problem of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine." Liu Xing met Xu Yun's eyes at this time, and his eyes were firm, and he shouted this sentence.

"Time will tell."

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yun's mouth and said, "But can you take me to see the dormitory now?" ”

"I'm sorry Professor Xu."

"The building in front is the researcher's dormitory."

"I almost forgot about it."

Liu Xing remembered that his task had not yet been completed, and the expression on his face suddenly became flustered, and while answering, he picked up his suitcase and walked towards the building in front of him, which was not very tall.

Of course, Xu Yun was not accusing Liu Xing, on the contrary, he thought it was quite interesting to see the other party's performance.

In fact, if he thinks about it carefully, if he was admitted to Jingzhou University as an ordinary scholar and did not prove the world's mathematical problems, perhaps his performance would not be as good as Liu Xing, a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Optoelectronic Technology of the Academy of Sciences.

put aside a little bit of work in his heart, and then shook his head to keep up with Liu Xing's footsteps.

The dormitory is the same as the other researchers in the institute, and it is not luxurious, but it is spacious and comfortable.

The necessary daily necessities have been prepared in advance, and he doesn't need to pack anything else.

put his luggage into the dormitory, and asked Liu Xing to take him to wander around the dormitory to get familiar with the environment.

What was more surprising in the middle was that walking on the road of the research institute, from time to time someone came over to take the initiative to say hello.

It's normal for this to happen in school, after all, he has a lot of student fans, but even the researchers in the Academy of Sciences are fans of the researchers.

That's it.

The first day of arrival at the Institute of Optoelectronics passed quickly.

Following.

In the morning, Xu Yun came to the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project department after eating, in addition to being familiar with the project team members, it is more important to check the current progress of the project and the problems faced.

Only by clarifying where the problem lies, can we prescribe the right medicine.

Try to solve the puzzle by turning on the brain overclocking.

Xu Yun already knew about the floor where the project department was located yesterday, and specially asked Liu Xing to take him there.

You won't get lost.

Basically, not long after he came, Luo Changhui, the former project leader, several professors, researchers and research assistants came over one after another.

"Professor Xu, the project materials you want have been sorted out, and some electronic data has been sent over simultaneously."

Researcher Yang Jing came to Xu Yun at this time, put the Chinese piece on the table next to him and pressed it with his hand.

"Thank you, that's exactly what I need right now."

Xu Yun's face was full of joy, and he responded excitedly when he controlled his gaze to the paper materials in front of him.

With this information, he will be able to grasp the research and development of the lithography machine and the technical progress of the lithography machine in the fastest time, and only then will he really take over this national key project, and he can rest assured that he can develop the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine according to his own plan.

Then everyone in the department communicated with each other, and after almost getting acquainted, Luo Changhui took the lead in opening up the topic.

"Professor Xu."

"I wonder what you're going to do with us next?"

In his opinion, now that Xu Yun has become the project leader, the previous personnel work structure will definitely be adjusted accordingly.

But then Xu Yun's answer surprised him.

"That's the case, Academician Luo, for now, we should continue to lead the project by you, and everyone will do their own work as usual."

"I'll wait until I've read all this stuff."

"Read the information?" When Luo Changhui heard this, his eyes were full of different colors when he looked at Xu Yun.

It's okay for them to be in charge of their original work, but not for long.

Otherwise, if nothing changes, the project will remain the same, and it will not be able to successfully conquer the manufacturing technology of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.

As the former person in charge of key projects, he knows very well how much information Yang Jing has sorted out, in addition to the stack on the desktop, the information content on the Internet is even more massive.

If Xu Yun wants to read all the materials, it will definitely take a lot of time.

This will result in zero progress on the project.

Thinking to this point, Luo Changhui hesitated a little out of concern and still opened his mouth to wake up.

"It's not easy to read all the information, so it's better to follow the project and check it while conducting research and development."

This was echoed by other researchers.

"I think what Academician Luo said is reasonable, the current market situation is very unoptimistic for us, and we must solve the problem of high-end lithography machines as soon as possible."

"We can't go on like this."

"Now that Professor Xu is involved in research and development, we should strive to achieve high-end chip manufacturing in a short period of time."

Xu Yun didn't expect that in addition to postdocs like Liu Xing, even formal researchers were full of confidence in him, and even Luo Changhui was full of expectations for this newly formed extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project.

It's as if they all decided that as long as he was involved in the project, there could be no failure.

Although it feels good to be trusted, he doesn't change his decisions easily.

It's really hard for the average person to read so much material, but he's the only exception.

First of all, the ability to remember can allow him to quickly read the information and memorize it, and then use the clumsy to organize the online information, and if the speed is stable, it can be read in three days at most.

Thinking about this, in order to let everyone feel at ease to do work, he immediately opened his mouth to explain briefly.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the research of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is not in a hurry these days, I should be able to finish it soon."

Everyone is obviously still skeptical about Xu Yun's soonness, but Xu Yun is the person in charge of the project after all, and it is difficult for them, the project members, to continue to question publicly.

"Then do what Professor Xu said."

In the end, Luo Changhui was the first to express his position, which can be regarded as deciding this matter.

After temporarily dealing with the project materials, Xu Yun did not continue to stay in the department to waste time, but chose to return to his office and start to view these project materials.

When he got up, he didn't forget to shout at Liu Xing.

"Dr. Liu, please help me move these materials to the office."

"Okay, Professor Xu."

Soon, when Xu Yun and Liu Xing's figures disappeared from view, several researchers expressed their worries to Luo Changhui again.

"Lao Luo, do we really have to wait like this, if Professor Xu hasn't finished reading the information for a long time......

"Now that our semiconductor industry is getting more and more disadvantaged, we are running out of time, and we should race against time to carry out various technical research experiments."

"The data of the whole project is several times more than the paper data, and no matter how fast it is, I am afraid it will take a long time." Researcher Yang Jing took the words of his colleague next to him and made a judgment on the information he had collated.

At the same time, Luo Changhui listened to everyone's words into his ears, sighed and replied with a solemn expression.

"We all know the difficulty of developing high-end lithography machines, and we don't know when we will be able to break through 7 nanometers.

"Maybe Professor Xu really has the confidence to successfully develop an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine."

As Luo Changhui's words fell, everyone fell silent.

As Luo Changhui said, at the moment they have no other way than to believe in Xu Yun.

So they all tacitly didn't say anything more, and got up one after another to leave and take the assistant to carry out their work.

……

Xu Yun didn't know about Luo Changhui's conversation with other researchers, and when he returned to his office, he immediately checked the information in front of him, and at the same time asked Ben Ben to access the computer to analyze the data, and present it to him in the most intuitive and easy way.

It turns out that Benben now has the characteristics of a brain and is very efficient in executing similar commands.

Basically, on the fourth day of his arrival in Jincheng, he almost finished reading all the data and data.

At the same time, he also has a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the problems faced by domestic lithography machines, and then he can try to turn on brain overclocking to solve these problems in turn.

"With the assistance of artificial intelligence, doing these things really gets twice the result with half the effort, but it saves me a lot of time."

May 16, 2020, Jincheng, Institute of Optoelectronic Technology.

Xu Yun sat in the office prepared for him in the office, and after reading the last data on the screen, he stood up and moved his hands and feet to look very satisfied.

If it weren't for Dumb's help, he would have spent a few more days.

At this moment, when he was about to go out to have a meeting with Luo Changhui and other researchers in the project team to officially solve the problem of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Please come in."

Liu Xing pushed the door in, walked to the middle and opened his mouth to report.

"Professor Xu."

"The doorman called and said that the relevant person in charge of Huawei Technology wanted to meet with you."

"The head of Warwick?"

Xu Yun was a little surprised when he heard this.

Warwick is naturally no stranger to the most affected technology company in the semiconductor industry earthquake, but at this time, he deliberately found the research institute when he wanted to see him, which really made people curious about the purpose of the other party.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Liu Xing, "Then let them come to my office first." (End of chapter)
