From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Of course, for Lin Xiao, he didn't even know that he had inexplicably joined a gambling game, and the other party was a group of people.

However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

Just kidding, even if the opponent is a "Krypton guy" like Morgan, Rockefeller, etc., if he just picks up his bag and cheats, no matter how awesome the Krypton guy is, he will fall.

So for him, there is no need to care about this gamble at all.

"A sneeze! A sneeze!"

In the research institute, Lin Xiao sneezed twice in a row.

"Is someone scolding me?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but think so as he rubbed his nose.

Of course, it could also be a curse.

However, he didn't care too much and continued his research.

"Well...the colloid contains two different states of matter, one dispersed phase and the other continuous phase. Part of the dispersoid is composed of tiny particles or droplets, and these dispersoids are the main components. .”

"However, a major question now is how to explain the ionic conduction behavior in this electrolyte."

Lin Xiao thought for a moment.

Then, he quickly thought of something.

"By the way, I will try to explain it directly based on the experiments observed by Faraday."

Suddenly, he thought of this.

The first scientist to observe solid electrolytes was Faraday. He discovered two centuries ago that in some solid materials, the ionic conductivity can be equal to that of the solution.

And this is why solid electrolytes are considered promising.

If he can now explain this ionic conduction process through current theories, it may be helpful for his current research.

And thinking of this, he was ready to repeat this experiment that was originally two centuries ago.

Of course, unlike the crude conditions two centuries ago, today's laboratories can use a variety of advanced experimental equipment.

So just like that, Lin Xiao quickly set up all the experimental steps and started the experiment.

The experiment used solid silver sulfide, the same as Faraday's.

After a long and precise experiment, Lin Xiao finally got the experimental results.

Then mathematical calculations were performed based on these experimental results, and finally they were substituted into the colloid model that Lin Xiao wanted to study before.

Lin Xiao suddenly frowned.

"Huh? The value of this ionic conductivity...isn't good?"

After such calculations, he was very surprised to find that the ionic conductivity in the colloidal electrolyte did not reach the ionic conductivity in the silver sulfide solid electrolyte, and this would seriously affect the performance of the battery. efficiency.

Then he took a serious look at the entire calculation process again, and soon he realized another point through the mathematical calculation process: "Or is it that the colloidal electrolyte itself cannot meet my requirements?"

He was lost in thought.

If the colloidal electrolyte cannot meet his requirements, it means that he needs to change his research direction next.

Although he had just started researching not long ago, if he changed his research direction now, he would not waste much time.

However, in his heart, he still felt that there should be something he could try.

Just like that, after thinking for a long time, a light suddenly flashed in his heart.

Perhaps it was the energy revealer aura that once again played a role, making him suddenly understand the hidden restrictions that existed in his calculation formula.

"Yes! It's not that colloidal electrolytes don't work, it doesn't work for all-solid-state lithium batteries, but it's completely feasible for proton batteries!"

Lin Xiao patted his head and figured out the problem.

Considering the different nature of lithium batteries and proton batteries, it is entirely possible that the results of his mathematical calculations may be wrong as imagined.

"That way, that's fine!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then modified the mathematical formulas he had listed before, until finally, he came to the result he wanted.

"OK, done."

Putting down the pen in his hand, Lin Xiao looked at the final calculation results with a satisfied smile on his face.

"So, the next research ideas will become clearer. For lithium-sulfur batteries, using pure solid electrolytes is the best solution. Otherwise, if colloidal electrolytes are used, the results may not be particularly ideal. However, , for proton batteries, colloidal electrolytes are the best solution."

"Well...then we can start simulating the material on the computer."

Lin Xiao must have had a better idea in his mind.

"However, if I am simulating materials on a computer, maybe I should also find some assistants in computational materials science?"

The next workload will be relatively large, and he will need to find someone to help.

He quickly remembered Zhao Sheng, who had collaborated with him several times. Zhao Sheng was a researcher at their institute. He had been invited by him to study RDX pure silicon crystals together. In addition, there were room temperature superconductors, and they were very similar to each other. familiar.

However, he soon remembered that Zhao Sheng seemed to be working on another topic recently, and probably couldn't spare the time to help him. Moreover, even if he was hired, the other party would probably only handle some pure keyboard work. I am willing.

Of course, at this time, the faces of four young people quickly appeared in Lin Xiao's mind.

There was a smile on his face, then he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Hey, is this Kang Chengning, right? Are you four busy recently?...Oh, you just completed a project? That's just right. I also have a project here and I'm short of people. Do you want to come?...Come on ?Okay, then you can come to my office now, I'll wait for you here...Okay, okay, um, hang up."

Putting down the phone, Lin Xiao had a smile on his face.

Yes, we have hired four tool men... labor force... ahem, four good assistants with great ambitions.

Worth celebrating.

…

On the other side, the four of Kang Chengning, who were competing in the Summoner's Rift together in the dormitory, all stopped the mouse in their hands, with surprises on their faces.

"Lin Shen actually asked us to join his project?"

"Damn, what are you waiting for? Let's go now!"

"Lin Shen must have remembered us now, and will have our good juice to drink from now on."

"Let's go."

Then the four of them didn't stop for a moment. Of course, before leaving, they didn't forget to say to their only passing teammate: "Sorry, brother, Lin Shen has something to do with the four of us. You can start the next move." 』

Then the four of them surrendered, and the game was over. As for the swear words of the passerby teammate, the four of them didn't care so much.

So soon, four people came to Lin Xiao's office, and Lin Xiao did not talk nonsense to the four of them, and directly arranged work for them, that is, according to his guidance, build new computing materials software Model.

Regarding this kind of thing, although the four people knew immediately that they were here to do hard work, they were not picky at all and were even moved to tears.

Their forest god finally asked them to do research related to computing materials!

This simply made them burst into tears and didn't know what to say.

After all, they were majoring in computing materials. As a result, they were first approached by Lin Xiao to do unrelated programming work for several days, and then they were dragged into the Golden Crow Project for a long time. In the end, they also took on a Modeling work.

It can be said that they have done things that have nothing to do with computing materials. If computing materials had not played a role in the fusion tungsten plate, they would have even suspected that their computing materials were lonely.

But now, their Lin Shen finally remembered that their major is actually computational materials science!

Of course, the most important thing is that being able to participate in Lin Xiao's research related to computational materials science can also allow them to learn how big guys use computational materials methods to assist materials science research.

Therefore, they are very looking forward to the subsequent research.

Of course, Lin Xiao is also looking forward to it. With the help of these four people, his research progress will be faster.

Next, we have to see whether Panasonic Group's hydrogen fuel cells can seize the opportunity, or whether the lithium-sulfur batteries and proton batteries he wants to research can conquer the market with their superior performance.

…

In the following time, the situation on the earth continued to change subtly.

The influence of the Jinwu Project after its success is continuing to expand, and for Jinwu Energy Group, the next period of time will also be a time to make money.

More than a dozen relatively wealthy countries have chosen to hand over billions in booking fees or an equivalent amount of resources, such as tungsten metal, to Jinwu Energy Group, and have also agreed to a series of conditions. Then they look forward to Jinwu Energy Group coming to their country to build a fusion power station.

Of course, Jinwu Energy Group did not give a specific construction time. It only said that the earliest would be five years and the latest would be ten years.

These countries can only accept this. After all, as the saying goes, 'If you don't buy it, others will buy it.' If you want to avoid waiting in line for a long time to build, you can only pay in advance.

Moreover, a few countries with deep pockets, such as the oil man United Arab Emirates in the Middle East, have directly booked three places. If not three places are the upper limit, otherwise they may have to pay more.

Of course, when these oil guys come to book fusion power stations, they basically accept that as a big oil country, they will be destined to enter a period of recession. Recently, these countries have also increased oil extraction, lowered oil prices, and then tried their best to In the last few years, sell more oil to earn enough for the last wave.

In addition, there is another change in the situation of the entire world, that is, the originally wavering centrists have begun to choose to invest in Bamboo Curtain, and those who originally believed in the free world have also begun to lean towards Bamboo Curtain.

Many people around the world have seen such changes in the situation, and at the same time they have begun to think more about future development.

Of course, competition in the battery field has also become another round of undercurrent competition between the Bamboo Curtain and the free world.

Although in this regard, countries that pursue the free world are still in a state of decline.

However, during the competition between the two parties in this field, another thing happened inadvertently.

…

Anwar Network Technology Company.

In Kong Huaan's office.

"This... it should be done."

Kong Huaan looked at the densely packed computer-specific program symbols on the computer screen and nodded slightly.

The thing above is exactly a new chip architecture that he completed after such a long period of research.

He adopted the suggestions given by Lin Xiao and finally completed the structure.

It combines the advantages of the simplified instruction set and the complex instruction set, and abandons the shortcomings between the two. It can be said that it is a brand-new instruction set.

Of course, such an instruction set can be regarded as the most excellent instruction set today - although it has not yet been implemented on a chip, it has only been simulated on a computer with a program, but in Kong Huaan's mind There is such an intuition, or it can be said to be confidence.

A smile that few people could see appeared on his face, and then he began to think about what to name this brand new structure.

The reason why the ARM architecture is called the ARM architecture is because its full name is Advanced Reduced Instruction Set Machine, and the English initials are ARM. The X86 architecture originally did not have a unified name, but because its series of architectures all have an X86, so it is also It is called the X86 architecture.

Obviously, the structure he has created now cannot be named in such a simple way.

According to his past naming habits, he would name it Anwar Architecture. But after a moment, he remembered the help Lin Xiao gave him. Like the original Anwar EDA software, Lin Xiao also helped him, and Lin Xiao also helped him with this architecture. Xiao also helped him, and now he should be named after Lin Xiao.

After thinking for a moment, his mind moved, and he renamed the file: [Chief Architecture].

He nodded with satisfaction. This name not only showed his confidence in this structure, but also recognized Lin Xiao's contribution.

"The next step is to implement it on the chip."

In other words, he needs to design a chip based on the chief architecture, then tape it out through a photolithography machine, and then test the performance of the chip.

However, at this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.

I looked at the caller and it was Xu Qing, the director of the R\u0026D Department of Huaxia Chip Manufacturing Company.

At the same time, Director Xu Qing was also an academician. When he was designing the Pangu supercomputing processor, he was responsible for many important research and development projects. Of course, it was also at that time that Kong Huaan met Academician Xu, and even, It also developed into a relationship that lasts forever.

Of course, the most important thing is that Academician Xu is very optimistic about Kong Huaan's talent, so he also likes this young man. He often trains Kong Huaan and often helps him contact some resources. , Kong Huaan was also quite grateful in his heart.

But, at this time, what was Academician Xu Qing looking for?

Could it be that he recommended another order for his company?

Doubtful in his heart, he then answered the phone and said, "Academician Xu, are you okay?"

"Hey, of course something happened. Of course, let me let you guess what happened first."

However, Kong Huaan, who was always taciturn in front of outsiders, was not used to this academician, so he said: "I won't guess, you can tell."

Academician Xu Qing probably guessed that he would react this way, so he didn't bother to show off and said directly: "We have developed a superconducting chip!"

Kong Hua'an was surprised when he heard the news.

"Superconducting chip?!"

Although room-temperature superconductors have been developed and room-temperature superconducting chips have become possible, it is still difficult to realize them.

What I didn’t expect is that it has been developed now!

Xu Qing laughed. He was obviously very satisfied to be able to surprise this young man who had always been taciturn.

Then he said: "Yes, it has been developed. The first batch of superconducting chips has been taped out. After testing, these superconducting chips will be able to reach a clock frequency of more than 10GHz."

"10GHz..."

Hearing this frequency, Kong Huaan was once again surprised from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, the processor industry generally believed that the processor could reach 10GHz as the limit. However, for superconducting processors, 10GHz is just the beginning.

The clock frequency of the chip reflects the computing power of the chip. For ordinary silicon processors, the higher the clock frequency, the higher the heat generation. In order to ensure the life of the chip, general processors will also The clock frequency is limited, such as Intel's Core processor.

Of course, the method of overclocking also appeared at this time. The higher the overclocking, the smaller the improvement for these CPUs or GPUs, etc., but at the same time it will bring greater power consumption and heat generation. improvement.

But as I said, this is for ordinary silicon chips, but for superconducting chips, the problem of heating is avoided because there is no resistance, thus greatly increasing the clock frequency.

Therefore, superconducting chips can be said to be the most perfect chips in the future world.

And such a chip has now been realized!

However, after being surprised for a moment, Kong Huaan's heart moved.

Then he asked: "Are you about to enter the second tape-out soon?"

"Well, we are designing a new chip. Once the design is completed, we will start tapeout."

"I understand." Kong Hua'an said, "Well, Academician Xu, I have a heartfelt request."

"Yo? Do you know how to ask for help?" Xu Qing smiled, and then said: "Tell me, what do you want?"

"I have developed a new chip architecture. If you are designing a new chip, maybe you can consider designing based on my architecture?"

Hearing Kong Huaan's words, Xu Qing was immediately surprised and exclaimed: "What did you say? You came up with a new chip architecture? Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

"Completely yours?"

"It completely belongs to me... Oh, it should also belong to Chief Lin Xiao, because he also provided me with a little help during the research."

Hearing this, Xu Qing immediately became serious and said: "Well done, Hua An, you come to the company now, and we will discuss other matters in detail in person."

"OK."

…

Achieved 10,000 updates the next day... I hope I can persist in saving the manuscript.
