Chapter 968; Breakthrough of carbon-based chips

Can the energy released by conventional matter be used to replace the energy released when large-mass dark matter particles fission, to affect the space-time structure of the universe, and then achieve faster-than-light navigation technology?

This is a new idea that Xu Chuan came up with after completing the collision detection experiment between sterile neutrinos and massive dark matter particles.

If this technology can be achieved, then human civilization is really not far away from transforming from a planetary civilization to a space civilization.

After all, it would take years and months to wait until humans can develop to control and use dark matter.

Not to mention whether other people will have enough patience to continue step by step, at least for him, it is probably difficult to accept that he has to wait for such a long time to see a glimmer of hope.

So after the related idea was born, he has been thinking about whether there is an alternative method.

But before he officially starts trying, what he needs to do is to first completely perfect the theory related to the impact of dark matter on the structure of space-time through mathematical tools, and then he can further try to use conventional energy to replace the energy released by dark matter in this technology.

The former is no longer an easy task in itself, but the latter is even more difficult.

After all, he still doesn't know how dark matter affects the structure of space-time. This requires CRHPC institutions and other research institutions to conduct a large number of subsequent experiments to explore the mysteries that exist in between.

However, Xu Chuan was not in a hurry. When he stepped into such a frontier and unknown field, his previous life's scientific research could no longer bring him any help.

To move forward in chaos and fog, to find that new continent that may exist, what is needed is patience and caution, and to move forward step by step in a down-to-earth manner, instead of rushing towards it desperately after seeing a glimmer of light.

...

In the office, while Xu Chuan was analyzing the experimental data on the collision of sterile neutrinos and massive dark matter particles bit by bit, trying to find more clues about void rupture, a phone rang rapidly.

Rings.

He casually touched his cell phone from the desk and glanced at the caller ID on the screen. It was Zhao Guanggui from the Xinghai Research Institute and Materials Research Institute.

Looking at this name, Xu Chuan thought about it, passed his thumb across the screen, and quickly connected the phone.

"Academician Xu, is it convenient for you to speak now?"

On the phone, Zhao Guanggui's voice, trying to suppress his excitement, sounded, and Xu Chuan quickly replied: "Of course, you say it."

There was almost no time interval. Before Xu Chuan could finish speaking, the excited voice of the director of the Materials Research Institute reached his ears.

"Our carbon-based chip research has made progress!!!"

Hearing these words, Xu Chuan's eyes froze and his heartbeat couldn't help but skip two beats.

He quickly said: "Is there a finished product?"

Zhang Guanggui nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "Well, the latest product, we teamed up with Huawei HiSilicon and SMIC to create a chip with 50 million carbon-based transistors and complete computing functions!"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan asked in surprise: "A carbon-based chip with complete computing functions, so fast?"

Inspired by the unique arrangement of carbon nanotubes on the lunar mineral 'Yaochi Crystal', at the end of last year, the Xinghai Research Institute and the Institute of Materials established the S-class carbon-based chip project.

Under his leadership, the Institute of Materials Science and Technology successfully developed a carbon-based substrate that can integrate more than millions of carbon nanotubes per square millimeter.

However, just being able to integrate high-density carbon nanotubes on a carbon-based substrate is far from enough for the development of carbon-based chips.

The core goal is to use the finished substrate to integrate transistors and form carbon-based transistors that can perform logic operations.

Therefore, the Institute of Materials has joined forces with companies and universities in the chip field such as HiSilicon in Warwick, SMIC, and Peking University's Carbon-Based Electronics Research Center to jointly promote this project.

Although China has some shortcomings in top-notch low-nanometer silicon-based chips, it has a complete system for the research and development and preparation of secondary chips.

HiSilicon's design capabilities in the field of chip design, SMIC's complete process manufacturing capabilities, Peking University's carbon-based electronics research center's carbon core research, plus Xinghai Research Institute's carbon-based substrate and high-density carbon nanotube arrangement technology.

A nearly complete set of carbon-based chip development, design, preparation, and production processes was pieced together in this way.

At the beginning of the year, they successfully prepared semi-finished carbon-based chips integrating millions of 'MOSFET metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors' and 'JFET junction field effect transistors'.

However, this is still a long way from a complete carbon-based chip.

Xu Chuan originally thought that it would take at least a year or so to accomplish this, but he didn't expect that only half a year had passed before they had produced a complete carbon-based chip.

This efficiency is indeed amazing.

On the other side of the phone, Zhao Guanggui smiled and said: "It's mainly due to the help of people from Warwick HiSilicon and SMIC. For more than half a year, all the R&D personnel on the other side have been engaged in this project and have not left the experiment for almost 24 hours.

Building.”

Hearing this answer, Xu Chuan also smiled.

It is normal for people from Warwick HiSilicon and SMIC to be very helpful. In the field of chips, domestic high-tech companies have always been suppressed.

Due to the policies of the US government, foreign semiconductor manufacturers have become more and more wanton in controlling high-end and cutting-edge products and technologies in recent years, and have begun to completely ignore the rules.

In this regard, China has been suffering for a long time.

After years of frustration, now that we can see the opportunity to overtake in a corner in the field of carbon-based chips, how can we not devote all our energy?

Everyone is looking forward to it, that’s normal.

...

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan was not in the mood to continue studying dark matter particles.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Finding Zheng Hai's phone number, he dialed it quickly.

The phone rang and was connected. Zheng Hai's voice came over: "Professor, what's wrong?"

Xu Chuan quickly said: "Help me prepare a ticket back to Jinling."

Hearing this, Zheng Hai was slightly stunned and asked quickly: "Now?"

Having followed Xu Chuan for several years, he knows very well some of his living habits.

For example, when traveling, unless there is something urgent, he generally would not choose to take a plane as a means of transportation.

Although I don’t know what makes him resist flying, it is indeed a fact. Especially in China, people basically travel by high-speed rail.

If he chooses to travel by plane, it will usually be for something important or urgent.

Xu Chuan nodded, glanced at the scorching sun outside the window, and said, "If possible, the sooner the better."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Is there anything else?" After a quick response, Zheng Hai asked additionally.

"No more, that's it."

Zheng Hai nodded and said: "Okay, I will contact you as soon as possible after the arrangements are made. Just wait for me downstairs."

"OK."

Xu Chuan responded, hung up the phone and started packing his things.

Zheng Hai was very confident in his work, at least within the scope of his work, he had never been disappointed.

.....

After getting on the special plane arranged by Zheng Hai, Xu Chuan quickly rushed back to Jinling from Star City.

As soon as the plane landed and left the airport, he didn't even bother to put his luggage back home. He asked Zheng Hai to drive him to the newly developed industrial park in Qixia District.

This new industrial zone was built around the Xinghai Research Institute. After several years of development, a considerable number of companies have settled in it, forming a huge scale.

After passing through the park, which covers an area of ​​nearly 200 square kilometers, Xu Chuan rushed to the carbon-based chip research laboratory without stopping.

They cooperate with HiSilicon, SMIC and other companies to develop carbon-based chips here.

After scanning his face and passing the access control, Xu Chuan entered the carbon-based chip research laboratory and found Zhao Guanggui. He was busy in front of an experimental equipment wearing a white coat and several other researchers.

When he saw Xu Chuan appearing at the door, Zhao Guanggui was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Academician Xu...are you back so soon?"

If he remembered correctly, when he called in the morning, this person was still studying dark matter in Star City. Will he be in Aurous Hill by now?

Xu Chuan nodded, without wasting time, and said quickly: "I just came back, where is the carbon-based chip? Is there a finished product here? Let me take a look."

Hearing this, Zhao Guanggui nodded quickly and said quickly: "Yes, there are samples here, but they are not placed here, but in a special storage room. Please come with me."

After temporarily handing over the research work to several other researchers in the laboratory, Zhao Guanggui took Xu Chuan out of the laboratory and came to another reserve room in the building.

Walking to a sample cabinet that looked like a safe, Zhao Guanggui unlocked the cabinet's safety lock through his fingerprint password.

Inside the locker, there are glassware laid flat on the cabinet floor. Each glassware has a small black carbon-based chip.
