(Two Thousand Flowers)
……
It wasn't easy to meet the big shots. Ever since he arrived in Beijing from Yulan, Luo Chen hadn't seen any of the legendary big shots in three whole days.
It was not that the capital did not value him. On the contrary, the capital gave him extremely high standards of courtesy.
They lived in a courtyard house that was as luxurious as a five-star hotel. The guards stood guard at the door. When they pushed open the door, they would be able to see the palace. Anything they wanted to eat or play would be delivered to them on the same day. There was no need to worry about food, clothing, accommodation, or transportation.
On the third day, the Beijing staff even brought him around the mountain area to admire his ancestors up close. Luo Chen felt like he was dreaming.
However, no matter how high the treatment was, it couldn't make up for Luo Chen's depression. He was a typical science student who pursued breakthroughs in science and technology. He didn't care much about material pleasures and preferred to stay in the laboratory.
Wasn't the level-1 gene development drug fragrant? Wasn't the scenery of the human genetic limit beautiful? There was no need to waste time on meaningless things.
Just as he was about to talk to the staff, on the evening of the fourth day, a slightly chubby old man with an amiable face appeared in front of him.
"You, you…"
Luo Chen's mind went blank as he looked at the familiar face that often appeared on television. He never expected that the person who wanted to see him would be him.
"Haha, Mr. Luo, why are you so surprised? Do I look scary?”The old man asked jokingly.
Luo Chen quickly waved his hand." No, no, I'm too shocked. I didn't expect to meet you. It's such an honor."”
" No, it's my honor to meet you, Mr. Luo," the old man said seriously." You've developed the photolithographic machine, created the 7 nano chip, and researched the manufacturing process of the 5 nano chip. You're the hero."”
Luo Chen's face was flushed red. He was excited, excited, and touched. He had never thought that this day would come.
The old man smiled." I know that a scientist's time is precious. I hope Mr. Luo doesn't mind me taking up three days of your time. Come, let's talk inside."”
As he spoke, he took the initiative to lead Luo Chen into the main hall of the courtyard. Behind him, a group of staff members quickly arrived at their respective posts. Some were making tea, some were checking the environment, and some were preparing fruit snacks.
Luo Chen only came back to his senses after drinking a cup of tea. He couldn't help but let out a long breath."You're too polite. I'm the one who's wasting your time.”
The old man was not an ordinary person. He had too many things to deal with every day. It was already a great honor for him to take the time to visit. How could he dare to ask for more?
" If there are important research results similar to the 7 nano production line every time, it won't be a problem for me to run around all day.”The old man was very humorous and did not have the dignity of a big shot at all.
Luo Chen smiled bitterly. Other than quantum communication, the only other research that was similar to the 7 nano production line was nuclear fusion.
Breaking through a research result similar to nuclear fusion every day was impossible even in his dreams.
After a few jokes, the old man began to talk about serious matters."Mr. Luo, I have to apologize to you for shipping the engraving machine to Tianhai without your permission. There were mature fabs there that could produce chips at the fastest speed.”
The country was lacking chips. It was not easy to get one, so naturally, they had to use it wisely.
Don't look down on the photolithographic machine. Luo Chen's machine could process 150 chips in an hour, and one chip could cut 500 chips.
In other words, a photolithographic machine could fabricate 1.8 million chips per hour.
Of course, this was only the processing speed of the photolithographic machine, not the speed of manufacturing chips. However, the emergence of the 7-nanolithography machine still greatly reduced the pressure on the domestic semiconductor industry.
"It's okay. I'm lucky to have the opportunity to help the country.”He was a staunch patriot and understood that helping the country was helping himself.
" You're so innocent." The old man's eyes flashed with relief." The country is lucky to have a scientist like Mr. Luo."”
The two of them didn't talk about money. Luo Chen was confident that the country wouldn't let him down, and the old man wouldn't disappoint his meritorious officials.
"I heard that Mr. Luo is researching the production process of the 5-centimeter chip?”
" Yes," Luo Chen said." I'm planning to build a 5-centimeter chip production line."”
"Is there any difficulty?"
The old man sat up straight. If the 7-nanometer-level chip was equivalent to helping the country break through, the 5-nanometer-level chip was equivalent to a war of annihilation. It would completely break the technological blockade and destroy the high-tech welfare of the West.
Luo Chen thought about it." I don't lack craftsmanship. I only lack funds and a venue." " You should know that the performance of a 5-nanometer-level chip far exceeds that of a 7-nanometer-level chip. The equipment, process, research and development, and so on have to be upgraded.”
The old man nodded.”
"1 billion." Luo Chen said the estimated number.
"1 billion?" The old man asked again.
"Yes, according to the budget, 1 billion yuan can basically complete the production of a 5 nano chip production line.”
In order to complete the mission, Luo Chen had done a lot of calculations. Based on the cost of the 7 nano chip production line, the 5 nano chip production line would cost at least 1 billion.
"Hehe…1 billion."
The old man did not know whether to be happy or sad. This was a number that was far less than what he had expected. If the young man could really use 1 billion to build a 5 nano chip production line, then the domestic scientific research environment…
Suppressing the melancholy in his heart, the old man said in a deep voice,"I'll give you 10 billion yuan and the right to use 100 acres of land in any city in the country. Mr. Luo, can you mass produce 5-centimeter chips in two years?”
Luo Chen stood up excitedly when the budget increased tenfold.""Don't worry, I'll definitely complete the mission.”
"Very good. I'll personally ask for credit for Mr. Luo.”The old man patted Luo Chen's shoulder and said gratefully.
If he could complete the mission with sufficient quality, the young man in front of him would be qualified to be the ninth scientist to wear the pure gold medal.
