Chapter 289 See if you can get some benefits
In the afternoon, Qiu Huoming began to learn how to make "mask plates". Currently, the factory has two types of "mask plates". One is made of "ultra-fine latex dry plate projection". This type of "mask plate" is easy to make and has low cost, but its film surface is soft, and it is easy to be scratched and stained, difficult to clean, and has a short service life.
The other is the "uniform chrome plate". The production process of the uniform chrome plate is relatively complex, technically difficult and costly, but it has the advantages of high resolution, low defects, wear resistance, easy cleaning and long service life.
Qiu Huoming looked at the two completely different 'mask' samples and listened to Master Wang's introduction.
Qiu Huoming was here to prepare for the competition, so as long as the mask could be used normally, there was no requirement for the number of times. In addition, time was tight this time, so although he wanted to try the latter, after thinking it over, he rationally chose the first option.
"Mr. Wang, I will use the 'ultrafine latex dry plate projection'." Qiu Huoming decided on the mask plate.
"Okay, this one forms a film quickly..." Master Wang obviously also prefers this one.
Next, it was Master Wang's turn to demonstrate, and Qiu Huoming watched from the side. Master Wang was very patient today, and explained in detail the purpose and processing techniques of each process.
Qiu Huoming benefited a lot.
He gradually became clear about the principles of lithography machines and related materials.
One and a half days of the competition had passed, and there were still three and a half days left. Qiu Huoming thought as he walked that he had to speed up a bit.
The tall and thin man smiled and said, "Brother Liang doesn't need help. His strength is there. As for... the others, I can't say for sure..."
He must do the job at hand well, at least not to let Qiu Huoming look down on him.
Master Wang was very patient with him. The two of them got together and began to practice against the clock.
As soon as the two sides met, Chen Liang boasted to Qiu Huoming in a teasing manner: "My mask will be finished tomorrow. Let me tell you, I completed it independently without the help of the master..."
It was not until the end of the get off work day that Qiu Huoming reluctantly left the workshop at the urging of Engineer Wang.
After the group members finished their meal and returned to the guesthouse, they went to Qiu Huoming’s guest room on the third floor to hold a meeting. Everyone gathered together to discuss their respective learning situation today.
He went over every detail he knew, making sure every team member present could understand.
It seems simple, but there is a lot to learn, and each step needs to be very detailed...
He glanced at Qiu Huoming who was talking and made up his mind to make friends with him.
Qiu Huoming was too lazy to pay attention to him. He took the basin and walked over the tall and thin man to Chen Liang. "I don't need help from the master. Next, you have to hurry up. My mask will be finished tomorrow. I guess..."
The performance of the mask directly determines the quality of the photolithography process.
These young people are naturally smart, and because of their young age, they have a strong learning ability.
The meeting finally ended. Qiao Yuxiang went back first, and the remaining four people began to wash up in a hurry.
The mask carries the design pattern. Light passes through it, transmitting the design pattern onto the photoresist, and etching the silicon wafers into the shape people want.
Qiu Huoming was like a fish swimming into the sea, immersed in the kingdom of chips.
The more Zhao Youxin listened, the more frightened he became. In this day and a half, he had just figured out his own process, and he only knew the general idea of other people's processes, not the details that Qiu Huoming knew.
A photolithography machine can be understood as a digital camera, which is composed of a light source, an optical path system and a workbench.
After listening to everyone's discussion, Qiu Huoming finally felt relieved, "Then let's try to start making chips tomorrow..."
The afternoon passed by second by second...
I met Chen Liang again in the bathroom. He was washing hair with a tall and thin member of their group.
Qiu Huoming slowly took out the toothbrush and applied toothpaste. "I guess I can finish it tomorrow morning."
"Impossible, you haven't seen a lithography machine in your place! I heard that it will take at least three to five days to learn this set of things..." Chen Liang had an expression that said, "I knew you were bragging."
"If you don't believe it, forget it..." Qiu Huoming responded vaguely while brushing his teeth.
The tall and thin man pulled Chen Liang and said, "Let's go, Brother Liang. Don't listen to their nonsense."
Chen Liang wiped his hair with one hand and walked out with the washbasin in the other hand. Halfway through, he turned his head to look at Qiu Huoming, feeling inexplicably anxious.
He said bitterly: "This kid must be deliberately provoking me to make me uneasy tomorrow..."
The tall and thin man suddenly realized, "This kid is really smart..."
In the bathroom, Qiu Huoming had no idea that they had so many inner thoughts. He really felt that he could finish the first version tomorrow morning. As for whether it would pass the test, he was not sure. Anyway, he would just finish it first and see.
The next morning, Professor Li received an invitation from Editor-in-Chief Zhou. He asked Teacher Xuan to lead the team and he went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences alone.
Editor-in-Chief Zhou’s office is on the second floor, and is surprisingly similar to his previous office at Shenhai.
The door was open. Professor Li took off his scarf and shouted, "Let's get a heating system for our school. When winter comes, my office is like frozen. The longer I stay there, the colder it gets..."
"Sit down first. I can't control your case. If you try to apply, it will definitely be rejected. I have been living like this for the past few years in Shenhai. At most, I could only build a stove, and I was afraid of being poisoned in the middle of the night..."
Editor Zhou said unhappily, "I'll make you a cup of tea..."
"Okay, let's have Longjing. I heard from Lao Gu yesterday that this tea has a long-lasting fragrance and a sweet aftertaste..." Professor Li sat down and took off his cotton coat.
"Oh, he didn't say that here." Editor-in-Chief Zhou put some tea leaves into his empty teacup, bent down and picked up the thermos, poured hot water into the cup, and soon the room was filled with the aroma of tea.
"So what did he say?" Professor Li asked curiously.
Editor Zhou pushed the cup in front of him, and he smiled and responded: "He said, fade out a bird..."
"Hahahahahaha..." The two of them laughed out loud with their heads thrown back.
Professor Gu has always had a strong taste. He must chew a scallion dry when eating. Even raw garlic is chewed directly in his mouth. Not to mention spicy food, he loves nothing but spicy food. He only drinks Erguotou.
It's really difficult for a person like him to learn to be cultured from others.
Professor Li saw the tea leaves were brewing, took a sip, and praised immediately: "What Lao Gu said to me before was really right. The tea has a long-lasting fragrance and a sweet aftertaste..."
Editor Zhou held up the tea canister and showed it to him, "Look at these words."
Professor Li then saw these words written on the tea can, "Hey, this old Gu..."
He laughed for a while, then asked seriously, "Okay, you should get to the point."
"Okay, let me get this straight. The agreement we passed last time will be signed in a few days. You can see the signing ceremony on the news broadcast. It's going to be a big deal this time..."
Editor-in-Chief Zhou said solemnly, "...We have taken up the responsibility. Next, I plan to set up a team to specifically connect with the United States to see if we can get some substantial benefits..."
He sighed, "You know, there have always been objections in the institute. Since we have chosen this path this time, we must make achievements. Otherwise, I'm afraid..."
Editor Zhou pointed to the top of his head and said, "I've only worn this hat for a short time. Don't let it fall off."
Professor Li couldn't help laughing. "Okay, you're still afraid of this. So, you plan to invite me to join this group? I'll say this in advance. I'm very busy. I need to think carefully about whether to join or not..."
Editor Zhou opened the lid of his teacup, brushed away the leaves floating on it, took a sip of tea, and then responded slowly: "Actually, I was planning to let you join this group with Qiu Huoming."
He looked at Professor Li with a cold face, "I don't care whether you join or not. I just want you to be in the group and watch over Qiu Huoming. He is young, so don't let him fool you."
Professor Li straightened his back and said, "I think you are setting a trap for me. He is just a student, why would you let him participate? Is there anyone who listens to him in the group? You don't want him to take the blame, do you? I tell you, this won't work!"
Editor Zhou turned around and took out a document written entirely in English from the cabinet behind him.
He slapped the document in front of Professor Li and said, "This is the document from Europe. They want to nominate Qiu Huoming for the Wolfskehl Prize at the University of Göttingen in Germany. In addition..."
He said with a headache: "The 100,000 francs reward for the 'Fermat Conjecture' is still valid. Now it is converted into US dollars, which is about 50,000 US dollars. All of this will be collected by Qiu Huoming..."
"Huo Ming is still a child. With so many honors, I'm afraid someone will cause trouble. I asked him to join our group just to give him a backer. If others don't like him, they will at least think twice. After all, you have to give the Buddha some consideration."
Professor Li was stunned. "The Folvskjær Prize... fifty thousand dollars!"
He thought of the thermos and washing machine that Qiu Huoming bought home. With so many US dollars, this guy would probably empty out the Friendship Store.
Professor Li came back to his senses and sighed, "Okay, I'll join your group. If I don't keep an eye on this guy, I'm afraid something might happen..."
Being too much in the spotlight is not a good thing. There are too many cases where the one who sticks out gets shot. Besides, Qiu Huoming is just a child from an ordinary family in the county town with no background.
Editor Zhou then showed a hint of joy, "I'll ask the organization to apply for passports for you and Huo Ming later. But Huo Ming's studies will be delayed..."
Professor Li curled his lips and said, "Don't worry about that. If he really wants to graduate, he will be able to pass the exam next year. However..."
"You still have to talk to the Institute of Technology. From now on, Qiu Huoming may be absent from classes frequently. Give him the authority to make it okay for him to attend classes or not, as long as he takes the exams. This guy said last time that he would directly take the skipping exam this year..."
Editor Zhou nodded. "I've thought about this, too. I'll write a letter and send it over later."
He leaned back in his chair. "Fortunately, Qiu Huoming drew the circuit diagram this time. Otherwise, even if I asked him to join the team, I would be rejected. Now it's different. He is the designer of this circuit diagram, and this diagram was returned to our institute. Just based on this, no one will gossip..."
The two of them talked things out and both felt relieved.
Professor Li leaned back in his chair comfortably. "Now that you have entered the capital, I'm afraid you will have to move up in the future. You should also help the younger generation. What do you think of the students I brought here?"
Editor Zhou laughed and said, "With my personality, I'm afraid I won't be able to get promoted. I like doing scientific research and I like protecting my shortcomings. I don't have time to manage things. Your students were originally good, but they just stood with Qiu Huoming. In my eyes and heart, I can only see him..."
"A gentleman is like jade, shining brightly...his future is limitless."
"He is my disciple." Professor Li said leisurely.
Editor Zhou said calmly, "Now he is a member of my team..."
"you……"
"Okay, the boss is not a small person, but he is still so petty. How is the progress of their competition?"
"I don't care. Let them do what they want. Competition is not the goal. It can broaden their horizons and let them know that there are always people better than them. This is what I want them to learn..."
This group of students are all the pride of the country. They usually look down on others in school. Whether they suffer setbacks or win, they have gained some experience after coming out.
"Your personality is suitable for being a teacher..."
Editor Zhou raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. "I have to go to a meeting next..."
Professor Li stood up, holding a scarf and a cotton coat in his hands, "Okay, I'm going back."
Editor Zhou was too lazy to see him off. Seeing him walk away, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. What he just said, that he wanted to protect Qiu Huoming, was true. However, there was one more thing he didn't say. He wanted Qiu Huoming to join the team because he actually valued his abilities. He had a hunch that this team would be very interesting with Qiu Huoming joining, and it might even bring him unexpected surprises.
The whole morning passed like this.
In the factory, Qiu Huoming and his group were stopped by Chen Liang and others as soon as they reached the cafeteria.
Chen Liang sneered and said, "Where's the mask? It's not finished yet. I'm telling you, I'm almost done and I'll have it this afternoon..."
"Stop bragging. I've seen a lot of you people from small places. You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is..." This was said by his companion who was standing next to him.
Chen Liang did not refute, with a smile on his face, "It's okay, I'm a very generous person. I listened to what you said in the corridor last time. When you lose, we will start over from the beginning..."
Qiu Huoming put his hands in his pockets and whistled, "I thought you had figured it out. Why are you telling me that you didn't figure it out?"
He turned around and patted Zhao Youxin on the shoulder, "You tell him..."
Zhao Youxin smiled slightly, "Huo Ming not only made the mask, but also completed the etching. The next step is mine..."
Jiang Yi chuckled and said, "You better hold on tight..."
Qiao Yuxiang touched her stomach and said, "I'm so hungry. Let's stop chatting and go eat."
She had done a lot of physical work today and was really hungry.
"Let's go and have dinner." Qiu Huoming reached out and grabbed Zhao Youxin, and the few of them walked towards the window.
Chen Liang was stunned in the spot. The tall and thin member next to him comforted him, "I'll go check it out this afternoon. It must be bullshit. Brother Liang, don't panic..."
Chen Liang spat, "I almost got fooled. Let's go and have dinner."
