The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 86 When others praise you, you'd better be really capable
In the past few days, he has looked up all the information about photoresist that can be found in the country, and made sufficient preparations to come up with the formula of future photoresist.

Just wait for Huang Xinhua to bring people over, and after a while, Li Mu will find an opportunity to take the things out.

Wang Ya's eyes lit up and she said, "I knew you had an idea, tell me about it!"

"No." Li Mu refused decisively. No matter how Wang Ya begged, he did not say a word.

……

The two of them came all the way to the experimental building.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Huang Xinhua, Liu Ze and Wang Yang standing downstairs, warmly entertaining two elderly men in their sixties and seventies.

The two old men had the air of scholars, and behind them followed a girl in a navy blue cotton coat.

Li Mu took a look and found that the girl looked familiar.

Huang Xinhua was talking to the two of them. When he saw Li Mu coming over, he immediately laughed and said, "Speaking of the devil brings the devil. Li Mu, come over and meet Professor Gu Ming and Professor Lu Qian from PBCPI."

Li Mu stepped forward and said politely, "Hello, Professor Gu, Hello, Professor Lu."

"Hello, hello. I've heard of your great name for a long time!" Gu Ming said with a smile.

Lu Qian also smiled and said, "I have indeed heard of your name for a long time. Even I, who don't pay much attention to semiconductors, know that there is a young man who amazed everyone at the seminar!"

"You two professors are too kind. My achievement is really not worth mentioning." Li Mu was ashamed.

Gu Ming teased, "If you are not worth mentioning, then we two old antiques, after half a lifetime of academic research, have not produced results as great as yours. I'm afraid we should be ashamed to see others."

Lu Qian and Huang Xinhua couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This was of course a joke, but it was also a reminder to Li Mu not to be too modest.

Lu Qian said: "Yes, you are so modest. If someone is a little mean, they might think you are mocking others."

"I definitely didn't mean that." Li Mu suddenly broke out in a sweat.

Huang Xinhua then smiled and spoke to the rescue, saying, "Okay, Professor Gu, Professor Lu, since you are here to visit, let's go in first."

"Okay, I have to take a good look today to see what capabilities your Beijing Institute of Technology has to cultivate such an outstanding student like Li Mu." The two professors smiled and followed him into the laboratory building.

Li Mu, Liu Ze and Wang Yang followed closely behind.

As they walked in, he and Liu Ze asked and found out that this was an arrangement by the Ministry of Culture and Education.

Beijing Institute of Technology would like to arrange a meeting venue and invite experts and professors to come and discuss to develop the photoresist as soon as possible.

However, considering the confidentiality of the experiment and Li Mu's personal safety, they turned to sending invitation letters to the list drawn up by Huang Xinhua, ostensibly inviting them to visit the laboratory of Beijing Institute of Technology.

……

Chatting and laughing, the group walked into the laboratory.

Gu Ming was first attracted by the single crystal furnace placed in the laboratory.

"We've been applying for the Mechanical Engineering Department of China Europe International Business University, but nothing has been approved yet. But your Beijing Institute of Technology got it first!" Gu Ming stared in amazement.

Although he is not researching semiconductors, there are many intersections between the subjects and he often communicates with professors in the same college.

If there is any news, it will be clear.

"It's still No. 002. If our principal saw this, his eyes would turn red." Lu Qian couldn't help but reveal the past of his own dean, which made everyone smile.

"Thanks to Li Mu, otherwise how could our Beijing Institute of Technology get it before you?" Huang Xinhua laughed, his face full of pride.

In the past, when engineering universities were ranked nationwide, China Europe International Business School was ranked second, and no one dared to claim to be first. Even Kyoto University, which was as famous as China Europe International Business School, was ranked lower than it.

But now, that’s not necessarily the case.

At least in the research of semiconductors, Beijing Institute of Technology has completely left similar universities behind, and can be said to be far ahead. This made Li Mu embarrassed.

When people praise you, you'd better have real ability.

Otherwise, all you'll feel is embarrassment.

At this moment, the girl in the navy blue cotton coat standing next to Li Mu suddenly whispered, "I can't believe you're so amazing?"

Li Mu turned his head and looked at the other person in confusion. Do we know each other?
"You haven't forgotten, have you? We met at the last seminar." The girl looked at Li Mu's expression, seemed to realize something, and said angrily.

She puffed her cheeks and said with a straight face, "Student Xu Qing, the seminar is not for idle chat."

The girl imitated Li Mu's tone, which made people laugh.

Only then did Li Mu remember her name, Xu Qing.

The girl who seemed a bit familiar at the seminar.

Here, Huang Xinhua introduced the research progress of photolithography to Gu Ming and Lu Qian:
"There is a key problem now, the photoresist that protects silicon wafers. There is no such thing in China right now, so we can only explore on our own."

“So I invited the two professors to borrow your professional knowledge to see if we can develop photoresist as soon as possible.”

"Photolithography? Do you have a photolithography machine? Are you doing photolithography?" Gu Ming couldn't help but feel confused when he heard that.

If you want to realize the photolithography process, you must at least have a photolithography machine.

Huang Xinhua pointed behind the two men and said, "This is our 'photolithography machine', two microscopes, an ultraviolet device..."

“Although the effect is not as good, it’s barely enough.”

Gu Ming and Lu Qian took a breath at the same time. If Huang Xinhua hadn't told them, who would have thought that this thing was a photolithography machine?

"I didn't expect that Professor Huang has this skill and can even think of such a method!" The two of them exclaimed in praise at the same time.

To adapt to local conditions and use local materials to manufacture experimental equipment requires not only flexible thinking, but also a solid theoretical foundation.

"Haha, this is not my credit. It was Li Mu's idea." Professor Huang said with a smile.

Gu Ming and Lu Qian were shocked and even more surprised.

"We will participate in this project." The two looked at each other and said at the same time.

"And if necessary, we can also ask semiconductor experts from PBC Institute of Technology to help."

Before they came, professors from China Europe International Business University who were studying semiconductors had actually visited them, wanting to find out what kind of big satellite the Beijing Institute of Technology was planning.

If they knew that all we needed was photoresist to complete the photolithography process, they would probably come to us.

Huang Xinhua was pleasantly surprised: "Really? That's great!"

"With your help, I believe we can definitely make integrated circuits!"

The statements made by the two not only brought in more personnel, but also recognition from China Europe International Business School.

In this way, more experts and professors will undoubtedly join in.

Afterwards, the three of them didn't say anything more and quickly took the experimental data and started to verify directly:
"Ultraviolet radiation can actually be reduced by resin, and by mixing it with other photosensitive materials, it is possible to make photoresist."

"It's not that simple. Simply reducing the radiation is definitely not enough. The photoresist also needs to react to ultraviolet light and cannot remain on the silicon wafer..."

……

The three professors were discussing enthusiastically, leaving Li Mu and the other four aside.

After a while, several experts came in one after another.
