"Professor Lin, based on the discussion above, your plan to assemble a photolithography machine has been approved by the higher-ups."
Flower Duo in a tea restaurant.
Lin Xiao and Director Ma appear here again.
Hearing Director Ma's words, Lin Xiao smiled and nodded: "That's good."
Director Ma nodded, then took out a file bag from the briefcase next to him, and said to Lin Xiao: "These are approval documents. Take a look. During this time, I have contacted our state-owned enterprises or those with government investment."
Semiconductor companies, as well as some other machinery companies, if you need anything, just contact them directly. In addition, there are some blank agreements here. If you need it, you can also find other companies to sign agreements."
"After signing the contract, if we can really build a photolithography machine in the future, we will become the selected supplier."
Hearing Director Ma's words, Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
supplier?
This is equivalent to saying that these blank agreements in his hand are not just ordinary agreements, but pieces of power.
Once this news gets out, many other companies may want to become this supplier in the future.
After all, this is a photolithography machine. If you can become a supplier of photolithography machines, even if you can't make money from it, it is still a qualification and certificate. If this company is a listed company, just based on this, maybe
It can increase its market value a lot.
It's just that he doesn't like this kind of thing. Who knows if a group of people will come up to beg him?
To be honest, he has encountered this kind of request many times.
Because of the superior conditions of the Dingguang Research Institute, many people came to him, hoping to enter the Dingguang Research Institute or to get people to come in.
To this, he rejected all of them. He just said that when their research institute needs to recruit people, he can apply for the job himself. If he has enough ability, he will naturally be able to get in.
Although this would make people unhappy and offend others, Lin Xiao had never cared about these issues. He would not let a group of people come into the Dingguang Research Institute just to eat and wait to die.
And it was exactly this kind of thing that he did not accept the blank agreements Director Ma gave him.
He put away the red-headed documents in front and pushed back the blank agreement. With Director Ma's puzzled expression, he said, "This matter should be decided by Director Ma. I don't have time to take care of these things."
Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Director Ma of course immediately understood his subtext.
This made Director Ma feel sincere admiration for Lin Xiao again.
I really don’t know how Lin Xiao managed to be so young and yet have such a character.
Although he has been engaged in administrative work in science and technology for a long time, he just entered this big dyeing vat when he was young, and naturally he was gradually contaminated by it, and finally became a good hand in the vanity fair.
However, as his power became more and more powerful, and as he was in the science and technology department, there was not much competition with other departments, so his mind was finally washed away some of the brilliance, and he came into contact with some national science and technology experts.
Secret, so he knows better than anyone else the shortcomings and shortcomings of China's current science and technology, so his mind has been purified, and his pursuit of fame and fortune has become less, and he has transformed into making contributions to the development of China's science and technology.
contribute.
So he respects real scientists like Lin Xiao very much.
But Lin Xiao now has this kind of mentality that does not pursue fame and fortune. Although he has seen it before, he is even more impressed now that Lin Xiao has rejected these valuable blank agreements.
However, he still pushed these agreements back and said: "Professor Lin, you'd better keep this thing. After all, I don't know which suppliers you will need by then. If it's not enough by then, you can
I can print several copies without any problem.”
"Then I'll contact Director Ma when I need it in the future, and then Director Ma can help me find a supplier."
"This..." Seeing that Lin Xiao could not be persuaded, Ma Gaoliang had no choice but to take back these agreements and said helplessly: "Okay, then I will listen to you, Professor Lin."
Lin Xiao smiled, then picked up the red-headed documents and read them.
The first document, [In order to promote the progress of the national semiconductor industry chain and establish a strong semiconductor country...formally establish the "X-ray" plan to complete the goal of manufacturing X-ray lithography machines and fill the national vacancy...]
The second document, [It is hereby decided by the Committee of the Republic to appoint Comrade Lin Xiao as the chief architect of the "X-ray" plan to provide an overview of the formulation and implementation of various parts of the "X-ray" plan, the transfer and appointment of personnel, and the application for funds.
and use rights, etc., are hereby notified...]
In the lower right corner of the two documents, there is a seal and a signature, and the signer is the top leader.
After reading the commands on these two documents, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
Chief designer.
Suddenly, he also became a chief designer.
There is also this "X-ray" plan, which sounds very cool.
However, it also represents a heavy responsibility.
After accepting these documents, he nodded to Director Ma and said, "Thank you, Director Ma."
Ma Gaoliang smiled and said: "You're welcome."
Then he took out a document from the side and handed it to Lin Xiao, along with a piece of paper.
"In addition, the state has also approved 5 billion in funds as project funds. If it is used up, you can apply again later. This is the 5 billion application form. After you fill it out, I will forward it to the national treasury.
Department, we will be able to connect with you when the time comes.”
"OK."
Lin Xiao nodded, then picked up the pen and filled out the application form.
After filling out, Lin Xiao handed the form to Ma Gaoliang.
Ma Gaoliang put away the watch, then raised his teacup and said, "General Master Lin, I wish you success."
Hearing this title, Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, raised his tea cup, and responded: "Thank you."
The two of them drank this cup of tea together, and then the days became even busier.
…
The establishment of the "X-ray" project was not concealed. It was not a secret plan anyway. It was not used to build something critical, but it was done openly.
The news that Lin Xiao served as the chief designer also spread.
Of course, this incident is not unexpected. As the chairman of the Huaxin Alliance Board of Directors, Lin Xiao certainly has this qualification. Coupled with his past performance, he has successively made breakthroughs in silicon wafer production technology and lens polishing technology in less than a year.
A major breakthrough has been achieved. There has never been such an awesome scientist in China's semiconductor industry, or in other words, there has never been such a cross-field genius in the world's semiconductor industry.
But no matter what, for a young man in his early twenties to directly serve as the chief designer of such an important national project, this is still something that everyone finds incredible.
On the scarf, this matter has been on the hot search list. ["X-ray" plan] has entered the top ten of the hot search list, and [21-year-old national project chief designer] has also entered the list.
"Forest God, I am the Forest God!"
"I am twenty-one years old: a score of 60% in the exam is considered a success, and he is twenty-one years old: the chief designer of national projects"
"Why are you comparing yourself to Lin Shen? Aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?"
"This is what a man should do!"
"Are you trying to replace it with your next sentence?"
"Then you probably need to have a super academic system first"
"Actually, Lin Shen is very systematic. I took a big risk to argue with you."
"Are you still there? You won't be cleared by the system, right?"
"The X-ray project sounds awesome. Can we really build a lithography machine?"
"God Lin said it will be built, so we must be sure. We will wait until our photolithography machine is built and Warwick chip production resumes."
"Good guy, Lin Xiao actually wants to build an X-ray lithography machine? Is this crazy? Does the X-ray lithography machine work? Isn't this a waste of money? I'm at the Synchrotron Radiation Institute, and X-ray lithography can only be produced in small batches.
Mass production is simply not possible!』
"I don't think so either. The president of Asmail has said that EUV lithography machines are the most economical method that countless engineers have thought of. If X-ray lithography machines could work, wouldn't they have been completed abroad long ago?"
"It's just that you don't even understand DUV, but you just want to do X-ray lithography. I'm afraid you're thinking too much, right?"
"I don't know what the higher-ups think when I become the leader of such a project at such a young age. Then, when the time comes, I will raise an academic leader. This person doesn't know how to refuse, and doesn't know that I should keep a low profile when I'm young?"
…
There are mixed opinions on this matter on the Chinese Internet. Although there are many applauding voices, there are still many voices questioning him. For some people who know the industry or are professionals in the industry, it is difficult to use so many resources.
It is really a huge waste to develop X-ray lithography machines.
In fact, the doubts on the Internet are nothing. The most important thing is the doubts of domestic companies that develop lithography machines.
Modu Microelectronics Equipment Group.
As the main force in the research and development of domestic lithography machines, Modu Microelectronics has invested a lot in lithography machines. Compared with the other two Changchun Institute of Optics and Mechanics and Electronic Technology Group, which are also engaged in lithography machines, Modu Microelectronics
There is also more support.
And now, the emergence of the "X-ray" project has undoubtedly seriously affected their interests, including their status in the eyes of the superiors.
"5 billion! This is 5 billion!"
"Have we received that much support from above over the years? No!"
"This Lin Xiao, I want to see how he explains that he can't build a lithography machine by then."
In the conference room, the senior executives of Modu Microelectronics were holding a meeting.
And their deputy general manager in charge of the R&D department was complaining at this time.
"The superiors want us to cooperate with him? And share our previous experience and technology with him for free? What a joke!"
"I think we should withdraw from the Huaxin Alliance. This kind of thing simply makes us have no soul!"
…
The deputy general manager complained, while others remained silent and did not express their opinions.
It wasn't until the end that their general manager said, "Okay, stop talking."
The deputy general manager just stopped.
Everyone also looked at the general manager.
Obviously, he has something to say now.
"You are all dissatisfied, I know, but the orders from above have been issued, so don't think about obeying them and disobeying them."
"Look at Lin Xiao's appointed power, personnel power, and financial power. They are all in his hands. How to use the 5 billion funds is all up to him."
"If you offend someone, they will write a report letter directly to it. Then you will be transferred to some Qingshui Yamen. Don't blame me for not helping."
After a few warnings at first, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly. Indeed, although Lin Xiao was young, he could not stand up to the strong backstage.
Looking at the looks of these people, the general manager shook his head, and then said: "Okay, if the higher ups ask us to cooperate, then we should cooperate well. If he can't make it by then, he will be the one who is embarrassed. Let's talk about what happens next.
Enough."
"If the photolithography machine is really so easy to build, after so many years of research and development, can we still have no results like now? Who can be sure that it will succeed?"
Hearing the general manager's words, everyone present nodded slightly. Now Lin Xiao seemed to have obtained Shang Fang's sword. It would really not be good for them if they wanted to do anything other than cooperate honestly.
Moreover, it is indeed impossible to get a photolithography machine so easily.
Can Lin Xiao be the chief designer?
They admitted that Lin Xiao was powerful, but they didn't believe it in this matter.
However, some people still asked: "What if he really created it?"
The general manager was silent for a moment, and then said: "If he can really build it, then let's celebrate it properly."
"In any case, this is also good news for our country. When the time comes, we, the people, must respect Lin Xiaofang a little more."
Hearing what the general manager said, everyone present nodded again.
Regardless of the conflict between them and Lin Xiao, as long as Lin Xiao can really build a lithography machine, they should respect him.
"Okay, that's it, let's start discussing how we can cooperate with Lin Xiao's work..."
…
Similar conversations have occurred in many places in the country, but no matter what, the "X-ray" plan involves the foundation of the country, so these companies have decided to cooperate with Lin Xiao's work.
If Lin Xiao succeeded, they would take advantage, but if Lin Xiao failed, it would be hard to say.
