The number of doorframe robot armors designed by Xu Yun has reached nearly 10,000 due to mass production by the industrial group, and the army has begun to select them for use by soldiers to train new tactics.
In addition, the control mode of the robot controlled by artificial intelligence is also on the agenda as Benben continues to iterate and upgrade.
It's just that these are all done in secret, and it's impossible for ordinary people outside to know.
Therefore, although the Science and Technology Award Conference revived everyone's curiosity about Xu Yun's outstanding youth project, they could only discuss and analyze it without a clue on the Internet.
Related topics always top the list of hot searches on the website.
The most valuable among them is undoubtedly the robot dog Benben.
Unfortunately, the dog has been borrowed by the Little Broken Ball crew.
This incident surprised many people when the photos were released through the film's official account.
I thought it was a gadget that Xu Yun made casually, but I didn't expect that it was even capable of making movies.
But should I say it or not, this is quite exciting.
As we all know, all the movies appear in are movie props and models. It’s hard to see anyone having sex with a real person, especially in a movie that is a future sci-fi disaster.
In just half a day, the number of views on related topics has reached a terrifying level.
——
"I didn't expect that the entire Internet guessed wrong. Professor Xu's award-winning project was actually an exoskeleton that had been abandoned long ago. I was dumbfounded when I saw this news."
"You see clearly that it is the special prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award. Being able to win this kind of award only shows that Professor Xu's project has not only been completed but also has very high value."
"Seriously, I'm very curious about the content of this project now."
"I really can't imagine how much more design space there is for exoskeletons. I feel like this award is more about Professor Xu's potential."
"It is more than enough for Professor Xu to win this award. Some people should not be upset."
"Isn't that Distinguished Youth Project stopped a long time ago? How can it still win the special prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award?"
“It’s a project with only one person, so I feel like I can do it.”
"Who said that Professor Xu gave up the Outstanding Youth Project? He just never announced the news to the public. Now it seems that the technical results are too explosive and cannot be disclosed to the public for the time being."
"My mother asked me why I was kneeling on the bed and looking at my phone. She really wanted to know the content of the winning project right away."
…
In a room in a community in Yangcheng, Qiu Bindao was sitting in front of the computer, and his mood instantly became depressed when he saw the information on it.
His brows were furrowed.
There seemed to be three words written on his face.
Do not believe.
"My prediction was wrong. The winning project was not a plastic fluorocarbon polymer material!"
He murmured softly, feeling like he was being hit.
As a person who makes military science popularization videos, he is relatively confident in his own vision.
What's more, he has already made several videos, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has a very thorough understanding of Xu Yun's scientific research results. It stands to reason that the predictions in the video this time should be accurate. But it proves the old saying that imagination is beautiful but reality is cruel.
Xu Yun won the award not for the plastic fluorocarbon polymer material that everyone is optimistic about.
Instead, it was overtaken by the almost-forgotten exoskeleton project.
In fact, he was not surprised that Xu Yun won the special prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award.
After all, the strength is there.
Others can't find an entry point if they want to gossip.
However, as Xu Yun’s first project after receiving the Outstanding Youth Award, the exoskeleton armor is incomparable to photoresist or the current extreme ultraviolet lithography machine. The key is that no news has been released for a long time, and everyone thinks that this project has been completed. Xu Yun gave up on his own initiative.
I never thought such big news would break out today.
Qiu Bin is indeed not a professional, but he also knows how difficult it is to nominate winners of the five major science and technology awards.
There are various processes to go through during this period.
If the exoskeleton armor developed by Xu Yun is really ordinary, then it is probably quite difficult to win the second prize, let alone the special prize of the Progress Award.
In this case, it only takes a little thought to figure out that Xu Yun's outstanding youth project was not abandoned, but was blocked and kept secret because it was too advanced.
Because of this, he could see the latest comments in the video comment area, and no one accused him of making wrong predictions.
Instead, they called on him to post a new video to analyze Professor Xu’s award-winning project, the exoskeleton armor.
He was reluctant to give up on video content like this, which he knew would be popular.
If you seize the opportunity, you can take the opportunity to attract a wave of fans.
Improve your influence and business value.
However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and he does not know the contents of the exoskeleton armor project at all.
How to produce an analysis video.
Making things up is not his video style.
Besides, this is very bad character.
"The heat is right in front of you. It's really uncomfortable not being able to catch it!"
After seeing the whole situation clearly, Qiu Bin sighed and said, only two characters in block letters were written on his face.
Pity.
With his mind running rapidly, he suddenly thought of that related thing again.
During the entire time Xu Yun was studying the Outstanding Youth Project, he only released information once.
It was Benben, the robot dog.
Although it has now become a veritable star robot dog.
If you think about it carefully, Xu Yun suddenly came up with such a gadget while working on a research project, and the technology used was among the world's leading. It was not the gadget mentioned in the accompanying text at all.
Now it seems that this robot dog may have a deep meaning.
Maybe the specific content of the Outstanding Youth Project is related to this kind of robot dog Benben.
Of course, this is just his own idea. Without corresponding facts or items to support it, he can only wait patiently for the official disclosure of the content of this project to the public.
Anyway, with Xu Yun here, the technological upgrade in the military industry should be faster.
As long as something new and more powerful comes out, the previously blocked projects will be unblocked.
"never mind."
"Hopefully this won't be too long."
Qiu Bin quickly figured out these things and stopped worrying. He closed the website directly.
Save yourself the trouble of seeing it.
But when it will be made public, ordinary people don’t know.
…
Although Xu Yun knew from Benben that the outside world was very hot, it was not the right time to show up.
Otherwise, you will definitely be asked various questions.
After returning to the hotel after the celebration banquet, Xu Yun thought about returning to Jingzhou City to share the joy with his family.
After all, compared with those overseas mathematics awards, the five major science and technology awards at home are undoubtedly more worthy of joy. This is the greatest recognition of the abilities and contributions of scientific workers.
With such an award close by, I believe no one would say anything even if I really became an academician.
After packing his things, Xu Yun just walked out of the room when a somewhat familiar figure immediately appeared in his field of vision.
It is the hotel service staff.
"Professor Xu, I'm afraid you won't be able to go out through the main entrance."
The waitress in professional attire looked a little anxious and stopped in front of Xu Yun and quickly reminded him.
And this sentence also raised a question mark in Xu Yun.
"What happened?"
He asked almost subconsciously.
"There are many reporters gathered outside, all waiting to interview you. Going out now may cause a lot of noise."
"That's it." Xu Yun frowned slightly.
It’s not surprising that a reporter wanted to interview him. He didn’t even post any news about his award this time, just to keep calm.
As a result, all reporters went to the hotel offline.
And from the mouth of the girl in front of him, he could tell that there were probably not a few reporters outside the hotel.
After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Besides the main entrance, is there any other place where I can go out?"
"Professor Xu, you'd better stay in the room for a while." The waitress persuaded in a deep voice.
After learning such a result, to be honest, Xu Yun had a bit of a headache.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still a lot of things in the hotel, it would be better to take a special car directly to the station after the banquet and leave.
But now that the matter in the Imperial Capital is over, it would be a waste of time to continue staying in the hotel room, not to mention that there is an essential difference between him and those celebrities who are afraid of the media.
There's nothing wrong with giving interviews now and then, except to make things more difficult for yourself.
But now it seems that it is impossible not to give reporters some news.
And he didn't want reporters to follow him to Jingzhou City for interviews.
After thinking about it, it was better to go out directly.
With his thoughts stuck here, he shook his head and said, "No need, if they want to interview you, just do it."
After that, he told the waitress: "I just need to trouble your hotel's security personnel to help maintain order on the scene."
A hotel that can host a science and technology award conference is certainly extraordinary.
At least Xu Yun knew that his security personnel were all from the military, and maintaining order was simply overqualified.
The waitress saw that her persuasion had no effect, so she didn't say anything more.
He just nodded like a chicken and replied: "This is what our hotel should do."
Soon, under the arrangement of the hotel, the reporters outside were arranged to conduct interviews in the lobby. During this period, the hotel also dispatched more than ten security personnel to maintain order.
Most of the reporters who can appear here for interviews belong to the official media and have high professional quality.
They mainly wanted to interview Xu Yun, and they were very cooperative when they learned that Xu Yun was willing to be interviewed.
Not long after.
Xu Yun walked downstairs after receiving the news. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.
Looking around at the huge crowd of reporters and cameramen standing there, those who didn't know the number of people thought they were holding a press conference.
Fortunately, he was also someone who had seen big scenes, so he kept calm and walked over immediately.
"Professor Xu is out."
Someone in the crowd shouted something, and it suddenly seemed like a pot was exploding.
"It's really Professor Xu."
"The half-day waiting was not in vain. It turns out that Professor Xu is really in the hotel."
"Being able to interview Professor Xu will definitely make the headlines."
"Everyone, please stop crowding!"
There was a noisy sound next to his ears. At this time, Xu Yun frowned and took the lead to speak out to maintain order.
"Please also keep quiet and I will take some of my time to answer your questions."
As his words fell, the entire hall suddenly became quiet, and he simply followed his words.
This shows his influence in the public mind.
And since Xu Yun had spoken, the reporters present would definitely not miss this interview opportunity. After receiving Xu Yun's signal, they immediately raised the microphone and asked relevant questions.
"I am Liu Li, a reporter from the Daily. Are you surprised that Professor Xu successfully won the special prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award this time?"
"It's a bit unexpected. The country has given me this honor. I will devote myself to scientific research."
"Professor Xu, did you really complete your exoskeleton project alone?"
"This is indeed true. I completed the project alone." Xu Yun replied with a smile on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was shocked. They never expected that someone could actually handle such a big project alone. It was simply beyond the public's awareness.
The interview continued after a brief pause.
"Can you briefly tell us about this project, Professor Xu?"
Xu Yun knew that questions like this were unavoidable, so his expression did not change when a reporter finally mentioned it. He first coughed tactically and then answered with the content he had already organized.
"I'm really sorry. You can wait for official news about the details of the exoskeleton project."
"But I can tell you something else first."
"It is expected that our domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machine will be online next year."
After Xu Yun's official excuse changed the topic, he briefly mentioned the progress of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.
It's like giving a candy to a stick.
Anyway, the core problems of high-end lithography machines have been solved, and the remaining parts and components will be assembled, and the first machine will indeed be officially delivered next year.
Now we take advantage of the opportunity to simply sell it, just enough to arouse everyone's expectations and long-term attention.
The fact is just as Xu Yun guessed. Although the reporters did not ask about the status of the exoskeleton armor project, getting such good news was enough to go back and report to the editor-in-chief.
After all, compared to exoskeleton armor, domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machines are much more popular.
This is especially the case in the domestic semiconductor industry.
I remember that when the Academy of Sciences first established the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project, overseas parties were not very optimistic about it.
Think it's impossible for them to make it.
For this reason, it is even more difficult, and even EDA industrial software is not allowed to be used.
In just over half a year, domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machines have made such a big breakthrough.
And judging by the tone of Xu Yun's words, he was basically sure of it.
In other words, the gap in domestic high-end extreme ultraviolet lithography machines will be completely filled next year.
"Is this true? The research progress of domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machines is so fast?"
"The advent of domestically produced high-end lithography machines is definitely big news."
"Professor Xu is the person in charge of the lithography machine project. Naturally, he cannot lie to us about this kind of thing."
"I want to go back and write an article quickly to let those arrogant people overseas see who is the clown."
Seeing that the reporters in front of him were immersed in this joy and even started to leave to seize the time to do post-production, the corners of Xu Yun's mouth suddenly rose and a faint smile appeared.
It can only be said that it is a good way to attract everyone's attention with news about extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.
Of course, there are risks in announcing the news in advance and raising public expectations.
If domestically produced high-end lithography machines do not come out in the end, or are still pseudo-high-end compared to overseas specifications, there will definitely be backlash from the public and bad public opinion.
If Xu Yun dares to say this, he must be absolutely sure, and it is impossible for this situation to happen.
"It seems that we need to speed up the research progress of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines and strive to complete the delivery of the first one next year."
As the number of reporters in the hall gradually decreased, Xu Yun secretly made up his mind and stopped wasting time.
After leaving the hotel, we quickly arrived at the airport and took the latest flight back to Jingzhou City.
…
After so many reporters learned about the news about domestic lithography machines, they would not take care of the officially blocked projects. They started writing relevant news releases as soon as they came back.
At the same time, it was published in the form of a video on his own account.
Originally, netizens' attention was focused on Xu Yun's exoskeleton armor project, which won the special prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award. Everyone's discussions and analysis can be seen on various websites.
As a result, many official media accounts suddenly posted articles almost at the same time, claiming that domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machines were ushering in a major breakthrough.
It will likely be delivered next year.
As soon as the news appeared on major website platforms, it immediately went viral.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to pay attention to it.
After all, high-end lithography machines have always been a pain in the hearts of netizens. Although the Academy of Sciences reopened the project and appointed Xu Yun as the person in charge, they are well aware that the development of high-end lithography machines is difficult. Although they support it verbally, they know in their hearts that it will be very difficult in the short term. What breakthrough progress has been achieved.
You must know that this thing is much more difficult to develop than high-end photoresist.
As a result, it has only been half a year since the project was approved, and significant progress has been announced.
Even Asmai can't match this speed.
The first reaction when seeing relevant news is to suspect that the news is false.
But it is obviously unrealistic to have so many official accounts falsify, not to mention that Xu Yun admitted it himself during the interview.
After slowly confirming the authenticity of the news, almost the entire Internet went crazy.
If the delivery of the first extreme ultraviolet lithography machine can be completed next year, the situation in the domestic semiconductor market will completely change, and global supply chain companies will be greatly affected.
It is no exaggeration to say that this will be a technological breakthrough that is not inferior to the solid-state battery revolution.
Almost half an hour after the news of domestic lithography machines topped the list of hot searches on the Internet, no one was seen discussing the exoskeleton armor project. The comment area of the relevant news videos was full of excitement and excitement.
"The news in the past two days has really exploded one after another. I can't stand it anymore."
"Hold the grass, Professor Xu is so awesome."
"Although the content of the exoskeleton armor project is currently unknown, it is very exciting to get the news of a domestic lithography machine. I really hope that this day can come soon."
"This kind of research and development speed is too abnormal. Could it be that Professor Xu has been trying to solve the problem of lithography machines for a long time?"
"To be honest, I still find it a bit hard to believe. After all, this takes too little time compared to ASML. I'm afraid I have to wait until the first domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is actually delivered for use before I can believe this."
"Whoever said we couldn't develop high-end lithography machines before will give you a slap in the face now."
Compared with the excitement of domestic netizens, when the news spread overseas, it took a different direction.
They questioned the authenticity of the news and said it was a deliberate attempt to hype up the stock prices of companies within the supply chain.
In the end, companies in the supply chain such as Qualcomm and ASML issued documents expressing their attitude, still firmly believing that the Institute of Optoelectronics Technology could not develop high-end lithography machines below 7 nanometers.
