Office of the Dean of the School of Physics, Lingzhou University of Science and Technology, the northern suburb of Lingzhou City, the provincial capital.
"Teacher! What do you want from me?" Niu Guanghui hurried over from the vice dean's office next door.
When I came in, I found that the teacher Wang Xiuqi looked at the computer monitor with an expression of surprise and worry.
"Here comes Guanghui." Wang Xiuqi waved, "Come and take a look. An invitation letter was just forwarded from the principal's office. It was sent by the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University."
"Invitation letter from Junior Brother Bao Research Center?" Niu Guanghui came to the monitor with questions.
The first thing he looked at was the sender, which was really the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University.
Looking at the content, it was written that Lingzhou University of Technology was invited to participate in the technical report meeting on July 4.
and DYN-Ion Beam Polishing Technology Report, which also included the processing accuracy of optical lens mirror surfaces.
After reading it, he couldn't believe it.
"Teacher! Didn't Junior Brother Bao just fail the sixth test? In just a few days, the seventh test was successful." Niu Guanghui looked confused.
"I'm also surprised! Logically speaking, the invitation letters have been sent out, so it must be successful, but I'm not worried." Wang Xiuqi looked worried, "In this way, you can represent Lingzhou University of Technology at the meeting and help your junior brother. check."
"Should I go? Teacher! The EUV light source project I'm working on is at a critical moment and I can't leave." Niu Guanghui muttered.
"Critical moment? I think we've reached a dead end. Take this opportunity to change your mind. It's useless to fight." Wang Xiuqi squinted his eyes.
"Then... okay! I'll go there after lunch." Niu Guanghui was a little disappointed.
The plasma EUV light source he made has been unable to break through, and he feels that it is just a little bit behind. It is really just a little bit behind.
Under the irradiation of low-power carbon dioxide laser, tin droplets produce ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 13.5 nanometers, which is very stable. However, once the power, that is, the intensity, of the carbon dioxide laser is increased, the ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 13.5 nanometers becomes extremely unstable.
In order to solve this problem, he thought of many plans, but the progress was not ideal.
"What the hell! Go now and have lunch at the high-speed rail station." Wang Xiuqi stood up and said, "By the way! Bring Su Zhe's admission notice and tell Su Zhe not to stay at Shanngling University. The conditions there are too bad, so let him come to school."
This time Su Zhe gave him a hard face.
In order to stop him, Principal Xu Zhengping specially recruited Su Zhe and fiddled with the test paper. Unexpectedly, Su Zhe was so powerful. He not only proved himself, but also slapped Principal Xu hard in the face.
Of course, Principal Xu was quite happy to be slapped in the face by such a genius.
"I understand, teacher! I'll go right away." Niu Guanghui said and left.
"I hope that this time justice will really achieve a breakthrough, and it will not be a big mistake. After all, we have waited too long for high-end optical lenses in China, too long for EUV lithography machines, and too long for high-end chips." Wang Xiuqi looked at Niu Guanghui ’s back, muttering.

Yanjing, Qing University Canteen.
Si Wenbo was eating lunch, thinking about how to reduce the energy consumption of the synchrotron radiation EUV light source.
Synchrotron radiation is an implementation solution for the light source of EUV lithography machines. He has taken a successful approach, but the shortcomings are too obvious.
It consumes too much energy.
If the domestic EUV lithography machine uses the synchrotron radiation EUV light source developed by his team, compared with foreign countries, the energy consumption of the same chip will be twenty times that of the other party. Such a result is unacceptable to him.
He has thought of many solutions, but the only reliable one is energy recovery. After adding an energy recovery system, the entire EUV light source system will become extremely complicated. The most important thing is that the current energy recovery system can only recover 10%. energy, which cannot meet his psychological expectations.
When he was thinking about it, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was an email sent to him by the principal's office.
The content was for him to participate in a technical report meeting at the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University.
After reading the invitation letter sent by the Optical Lens Research Center, he was not calm anymore.
"This... this can't be an error! Bao Zhengyi and the others just failed their sixth test. In just a few days, they have made a breakthrough in ion beam polishing technology. The processing accuracy is better than that of Chase on Europa... No, Buy a plane ticket now, I want to see if I really have a breakthrough." Si Wenbo muttered.
He took a few bites, sent the plate to the recycling area, and hurriedly left the canteen.
…
Shencheng Microelectronics dust-free factory in Dajiang District, Shanghai.
Pan Feipeng, chief engineer of Shanghai Microelectronics, stood in front of the display screen of a piece of equipment wearing a dust-free suit, mask and goggles.
"Not bad! Not bad! All the parameters of these double workpiece tables are ready. Let's get here in the morning! Everyone is ready to eat!" Pan Feipeng looked at the parameters on the display and shouted to the engineers around him.
"It's time to eat!" The engineers cheered and left one after another.
Pan Feipeng and his assistant Liu Tianhao were the only ones left at the scene.
"EUV lithography machine! The three major problems are solved. The problem of the double workpiece stage is solved. The problem of the EUV light source is also solved. All that is left is the optical lens." Pan Feipeng was a little disappointed. "I am most optimistic about Bao Zhengyi's research team. But their sixth test also failed, and we don’t know when China will be able to produce optical lenses that meet the requirements.”
"Chief Engineer! The synchrotron radiation EUV light source developed by Tsinghua University consumes too much energy. Even if we have optical lenses and build EUV lithography machines, we will not be competitive in the world." Liu Tianhao said bluntly.
"Xiao Liu! What we have to solve now is the problem of whether it exists or not. When we have it and can manufacture it, even if the energy consumption is high, it will be better than letting others control it casually now. As for competitiveness, we can take our time. "Pan Feipeng said seriously.
With that said, the two came to the changing room.
Halfway through changing his clothes, Pan Feipeng's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was an email from the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University.
He was overjoyed, but he couldn't be happy anymore when he thought that Bao Zhengyi and the others failed the test only for the sixth time.
I opened the email with doubt.
It was an invitation letter. When he saw the DYN-Ion Beam Polishing Technology Technical Report, he realized something!
Check the end of the email directly:
"The seventh test was conducted on the mirror detection accuracy of the second group of processed lenses. The mirror surface reached a peak-to-valley surface accuracy of 0.09 nanometers and a surface roughness of 19 picometers."
Seeing such a result, he was stunned.
After changing his clothes, Liu Tianhao noticed something unusual. He looked curiously at the mobile phone in Pan Feipeng's hand.
"This... this is impossible! Their sixth test just failed. Just a few days ago, their seventh test was successful, and the accuracy is better than that of Europa's Chase. This can't be an own goal! "Liu Tianhao couldn't believe it.
"Xiao Liu! Hurry up and buy a plane ticket. We're going to Shangling University now. We'll know if it's true or false when we get there." Pan Feipeng put away his phone and quickly changed his clothes while saying.
…
Across the country, thirty-three universities, companies, and institutions that received invitation letters from the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University hurriedly sent people to Shangling University.
You can take the high-speed rail or drive to get there nearby, or take a plane or even a charter flight to get there.
The reason why these people are so anxious is to determine whether the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University has really made a breakthrough.
When these people rushed to Shangling University, Bao Zhengyi and Fan Xiaoming were drinking tea.
Su Zhe listened to the legal officer's explanation of the content of the agreement.
