From university academician to chief academician

August 1, 2029!

Trieste, Italy!

Third World Academy of Sciences headquarters, conference room!

The dean, vice-president, secretary-general, treasurer, auditor, director and council members sat around the round conference table.

After the meeting went on for a while, Dean Zhou Shilian said: "Let's move on to the next topic. This year's Third World Academy of Sciences awards will be awarded in three months."

"Secretary-General Bilao, you are responsible for this matter. You must organize people to review it as soon as possible."

Bilao said: "Okay!"

After the meeting ended, the dean walked out of the conference room and walked to Bilau and said, "Secretary-General Bilau, come to my office. I want to tell you something."

Bilao glanced at the dean suspiciously and said, "Okay."

After saying that, the two walked into the dean's office.

The dean asked his assistant to bring coffee to Bilao, while he drank tea himself.

Zhou Shilian, like most Xia people with some status, likes to drink tea and is not a fan of coffee.

Zhou Shilian said: "Bilao, I'm here to discuss something with you."

After Bilau took a sip of coffee, he put it down and said, "You tell me."

Zhou Shilian said: "What do you think of Ye Fei?"

Bilau frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He didn't know why the dean was asking this.

"He was very talented and gifted in mathematics," Birao said.

At this mathematics conference, Birao also participated. He personally witnessed the entire process of Ye Fei proving Snevily's conjecture.

He had a preliminary understanding of Ye Fei.

Zhou Shilian smiled slightly and said, "Do you think he can win the Fields Medal in the future?"

"Fields Medal?" Birao felt a little ridiculous.

Although he is very optimistic about Ye Fei and thinks Ye Fei is very talented and gifted.

But the Fields Medal is a bit far away from Ye Fei now.

At this moment, it is too early and inappropriate to talk about whether Ye Fei can win the Fields Medal.

Maybe Ye Fei won’t win the Fields Medal in the future!

After much hesitation, Bilao said: "I think there should be a 50% chance of getting it!"

Zhou Shilian leaned forward while sitting on the sofa, approached Bilao and said, "Don't you think he has a higher chance of winning the Fields Medal?"

"I think it should be at least 70%, what do you think?"

Bilau thought for a moment and nodded: "It seems so."

"What will it mean if Ye Fei wins the Fields Medal?" Zhou Shilian asked.

Bilau's mind was in a state of confusion, and he didn't know what the dean wanted to say.

Bilau said: "If Ye Fei wins the Fields Medal, it will definitely shock the whole world."

"There's more!" Zhou Shilian looked at Bilao expectantly.

"What else?" Bilao looked at Zhou Shilian in confusion.

Zhou Shilian said eagerly: "Ye Fei is the first Fields Medal winner in the Xia Kingdom, born and raised in the Xia Kingdom, and completely trained by the Xia Kingdom!"

"Oh!" Bilao nodded suddenly and said, "Yes, that's right."

Zhou Shilian said: "Should we pay more attention to talents like Ye Fei?"

Bilao nodded blankly.

Zhou Shilian said: "Should we have more contact with him?"

Bilao nodded in confusion.

Zhou Shilian said: "Should we allocate more resources to him as much as possible."

This time Bilao knew what the dean meant and said awkwardly: "Dean, this is not good!"

"Our resources are also limited. Countries distribute them equally according to the number of academicians. If more is given to Ye Fei, other countries will not be happy."

Zhou Shilian looked at Bilao doubtfully and said, "Didn't you understand what I meant?"

"I understand!" Bilao said, "Isn't it just to give more resources to Ye Fei?"

Zhou Shilian shook his head and said, "You still don't understand. If I wanted to give more resources to Ye Fei, I wouldn't talk to you. You are not in charge of resources."

Bilao said: "Yes, I don't care about resources, so why are you telling me this? I don't care about resources."

"What did I say to you in the meeting?" Zhou Shilian said, "Think about it again."

Bilau thought for a moment and then said: "You said you wanted me to be the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency."

Zhou Shilian said with a black line on his face: "Did I say it? I told you to go to the International Atomic Energy Agency and talk to the director to see if we can give our institute a few more places."

Zhou Shilian was speechless. This old white boy only remembered going to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Bilao said: "You also said you would extend the Christmas holiday by one week. I plan to spend Christmas at Santa Claus Village this year. I went there last year and it was so beautiful. Unfortunately, I only stayed for a week. This year I will stay for two weeks."

Zhou Shilian gritted his teeth and said, "Have you forgotten the Science Award of the Third World Academy of Sciences that I told you at the meeting?"

"of course I remember!"

"So..." Zhou Shilian looked at Bilao expectantly.

Bilao said: "Do you want me to give the award to Ye Fei?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Zhou Shilian smiled and said, "I mean, does Ye Fei also meet the quota for the Science Award of the Third World Academy of Sciences?"

Bi Lao nodded and said: "Yes, so, you want me to let Ye Fei go during the review?"

Zhou Shilian's face looked a little ugly, and he wanted to scold Bilao.

But his reason didn't let him curse.

He angrily said, "I told you I'm not that kind of person. I want you to add Ye Fei to the review list. Does he meet the requirements?"

"Since he meets the requirements, he should be added to the review list."

After saying that, Zhou Shilian felt instantly relieved.

The reason why he and Bilao spent so much nonsense and took such a big detour.

It was because he couldn't tell Bilao straightforwardly that he added Ye Fei to the review list.

Isn't this equivalent to using the back door for Ye Fei?

Zhou Shilian didn't want Bilao to think that he was someone who helped Ye Fei get through the back door.

Otherwise, future work will be difficult to carry out.

However, he did not expect that Bilao would only hear topics that were good for him in today's meeting.

He completely forgot about the mission he assigned him.

So, he could only say it bluntly.

Bilao nodded in realization and said: "So you want to add Ye Fei to the review list!"

"No problem, he does meet the requirements."

Bilao was speechless. It was really hard to talk to the Xia people.

If you want to add Ye Fei to the review list, just tell me directly!

Why take such a big detour!

Xia Kingdom, Magic City, Xia Xin International!

Everyone was wearing protective clothing. The two leaders of the photoresist team stood next to Ye Fei, handed the photoresist to Ye Fei, and said, "Dean, what do you think of this photoresist?"

The photoresist was in a plastic bottle. Ye Fei opened the bottle cap, poured a little photoresist on the paper, and then picked it up to look at it.

Photoresist is a thick black liquid, like asphalt.

Ye Fei took out an ultraviolet beam meter and shined it on the photoresist.

The part of the photoresist irradiated by the ultraviolet beam instrument begins to undergo a dissolution reaction.

The concentration of the photoresist begins to become somewhat thinner, and the ultraviolet rays pass through the photoresist and shine forward.

Ye Fei nodded slightly. Judging from the naked eye, the quality of the photoresist was pretty good.

Ye Fei said to the researcher beside him: "Take it for testing."

The researcher said: "Okay."

After speaking, the researcher took the photoresist for testing.

Soon, the test results came out.

[Pre-baking: 100C for more than 90s (DHP)

Exposure: G-line stepper exposure machine/contact exposure system

Development: AZ300MIF developer 23C 60～300s

Cleaning: deionized water

Post-bake: 120C for more than 60s

Peeling: AZ peeling fluid and/or oxygen plasma ashing]

After reading the data, Ye Fei nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Not bad!"

Ye Fei looked at the two leaders and deputy leaders of the photoresist team and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The two laughed and said, "Thanks to the help of you, the dean, and many researchers in the country."

"Without the many years of research data on photoresist by many researchers in the country, and the mathematical formulas you provided, we would not be able to develop photoresist."

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Although I provide some help, you are the main ones who develop the photoresist."

After chatting for a while, Ye Fei continued to devote himself to research.

It was already October, and the photolithography machine had been researched for exactly one year.

During this year, they conquered photoresist, contact and non-contact technology, exposure system, adjustment system and EDA software.

Ye Feixin said: "Only random error control is left. As long as random error control is developed, the lithography machine will be developed."

Ye Fei's idea at the beginning was correct.

Utilize the country's existing knowledge and use it on carbon-based chip lithography machines.

Plus his math knowledge.

Therefore, the efficiency of researching lithography machines is very high.

At this time, the assistant stood at the door of the laboratory and shouted: "Dean!"

Ye Fei turned to look at the door, then stood up and walked out of the laboratory. He took off his protective clothing at the door and threw it into the sterilization machine aside.

After taking off his protective clothing, Ye Fei looked at his assistant and asked, "What's the matter?"

The assistant said: "Dean, I just received the news that the Eurasian Academy of Sciences has sent you an invitation to join the Eurasian Academy of Sciences and become a member of the Eurasian Academy of Sciences."

The assistant admires Ye Fei very much, and Ye Fei is often invited by famous universities, institutions, research institutes, academies and academies of science around the world.

Especially after Ye Fei came back from attending the Third World Scientists Conference last time.

More universities, institutions, institutes, academies and academies of sciences are extending invitations.

Of course, Ye Fei refused almost all their invitations because he was too busy with work.

The assistant thought: "This may be the treatment for top international talents!"

Ye Fei frowned and thought: "Eurasian Academy of Sciences?"

The Eurasian Academy of Sciences, as its name suggests, is the Academy of Sciences for European and Asian scholars.

But in fact, the Eurasian Academy of Sciences also has more than 600 academicians, corresponding academicians and honorary members from 46 countries including North America, South America and Australia.

In terms of the number of academicians, Fields Medal, Nobel Prize and Turing Award winners, the Eurasian Academy of Sciences is much more than the Third World Academy of Sciences.

The headquarters of the Eurasian Academy of Sciences is in Moscow, and regional centers have been established in Finland, Moscow and Xiaguo.

And established scientific centers in 15 countries in Europe and Asia.

Kyoto has the Regional Center and Science Center of the Eurasian Academy of Sciences.

Ye Fei pondered for a while and then said: "Tell the people at the Eurasian Academy of Sciences that I don't have time for the time being. After I finish my recent work, I will go to the Science Center of the Eurasian Academy of Sciences in Kyoto."

"Time..."

Ye Fei thought for a moment and then said: "I haven't decided on the time yet. I will tell them when I decide."

"Okay, Dean!"

The assistant finished speaking and left.

Then, Ye Fei continued to do research.

Kyoto, Science Center of the Eurasian Academy of Sciences!

Most of the people working at the Science Center of the Eurasian Academy of Sciences are from Xia.

director's office!

"Dean!" the assistant said: "Academician Ye Fei replied that he has been very busy recently and has no time to come to us. He said that he will come to us after he is busy for a while. He has not thought about the time, but he is here. We will be notified in advance.”

The dean frowned and asked in confusion: "What is Academician Ye Fei busy with?"

The assistant said: "Maybe we are developing chips!"

The dean nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, go down!"

After the assistant left, the dean thought to himself: "Ye Fei shouldn't have refused the invitation from the Eurasian Academy of Sciences, right?"

"After all, we are the Eurasian Academy of Sciences, and it would be of great benefit for Ye Fei to join us."

November 15, 2029!

Today is Ye Fei’s 28th birthday.

In the laboratory!

Ye Fei calculated on the paper.

[Gf(s)=-7.65x10^(-4)583.36s+1/10s+1]

Ye Fei entered the calculated formula into the computer.

Soon, Ye Fei saw the simulated lithography machine model appear on the computer, and then the blue word "success" appeared.

"Successful!" Ye Fei's eyes widened in shock.

Then, he quickly stood up and cheered: "Success, haha..."

Ye Fei was dancing in the laboratory.

The other researchers heard Ye Fei's excited laughter and jumping excitedly.

Everyone looked at Ye Fei in surprise.

"Haha... it was successful, the random error control was successfully developed."

"The simulation lithography machine was successfully developed."

"What?" Everyone's eyes widened in surprise: "Dean, the simulation lithography machine was successfully developed? Are you telling the truth?"

The successful development of a simulated lithography machine means that 90% of the lithography machines can be developed.

"Yes!" Ye Fei stopped jumping, looked at everyone and smiled: "Success!"

"Successful, haha... finally successful."

"Our country will also have its own photolithography machine that can produce 12nm chips, haha..."

"Great, we're finally going to develop a carbon-based chip."

"As long as carbon-based chips are manufactured, our country will no longer rely on foreign countries for its chips."

"..."

All researchers are very excited. Xia Guo has always relied on foreign countries for its lithography machines and chips.

Xia's imported chips are the largest imported commodity category, higher than oil.

Xia Guo spends US$340 billion every year just to import chips.

And now they have developed a photolithography machine that can produce 12nm carbon-based chips, which can save the country hundreds of billions of dollars.

Ye Feixin said: "With the photolithography machine, we can produce chips. What we develop is a 12nm carbon-based chip, which has better performance than silicon-based chips. The manufacturing cost is also much lower than it. Naturally, the price is much cheaper than silicon-based chips." .”

"Not only can it save the country hundreds of billions of dollars, but once we reach a larger manufacturing scale, we may be able to export and earn a lot of foreign exchange."

A researcher asked: "Dean, should the news be reported?"

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Of course, Xiaoyu, go and call my assistant, and I'll ask him to report this to Director Qu."

One of the researchers quickly ran out.

Soon, Ye Fei's assistant was called.

Ye Fei explained the matter to him.

The assistant said excitedly: "Dean, you are so amazing. You developed a photolithography machine so quickly, haha..."

Ye Fei smiled and said: "This is not my credit alone, but the credit of everyone."

The assistant said: "Dean, although I don't study lithography machines, I also know how difficult it is. Others have spent more than ten years and invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources but have not yet developed it."

"And it only took you a year to develop it."

"So Dean, you are still the best."

Ye Fei smiled and scolded: "Don't flatter me, it won't work here. Tell Director Qu quickly."

"OK."

After the assistant finished speaking, he quickly ran out to inform Director Qu.
