Great Country Academician

Chapter 965; Breakthrough of carbon-based chips~

Can the energy released by conventional matter replace the energy released when massive dark matter particles fission, to affect the space-time structure of the universe, and then realize superluminal navigation technology?

This is a new idea that Xu Chuan came up with after completing the collision detection experiment of inert neutrinos and massive dark matter particles.

If this technology can be done, then human civilization is really not far from transforming from planetary civilization to space civilization.

After all, it is unknown how long it will take for humans to develop to control and use dark matter.

Not to mention whether others will have enough patience to go step by step, at least for him, it is probably difficult to accept that he has to wait for such a long time to see a glimmer of hope.

So after the relevant idea was born, he has been thinking about whether there is an alternative method.

But before officially starting to try, what he has to do is to first use mathematical tools to fully perfect the theory related to the influence of dark matter on the space-time structure, and then he can further try to use conventional energy to replace the energy released by dark matter in this technology.

The former itself is not an easy task, and the latter is more difficult.

After all, he still doesn't know how dark matter affects the structure of space and time. This requires CRHPC and other research institutions to conduct a lot of experiments to explore the mysteries in the middle.

However, Xu Chuan is not in a hurry. Stepping into this frontier unknown field, his scientific research in his previous life can no longer bring him any help.

Moving forward in chaos and fog, looking for the possible new continent, what is needed is patience and caution, step by step, moving forward step by step, rather than rushing towards it recklessly after seeing a glimmer of light.

In the office, just as Xu Chuan was analyzing the experimental data of the collision between inert neutrinos and massive dark matter particles bit by bit, trying to find more clues about the void breaking from the middle, a phone rang quickly.

He casually touched the phone from the desk and glanced at the caller ID on the screen. It was Zhao Guanggui from the Materials Research Institute of Xinghai Research Institute who called.

Looking at this name, Xu Chuan's mind moved, his thumb swiped across the screen, and he quickly answered the call.

"Academician Xu, are you available to talk now?"

Zhao Guanggui's voice, which was trying to suppress his excitement, sounded on the phone, and Xu Chuan quickly replied: "Of course, go ahead."

With almost no time between words, before Xu Chuan finished speaking, the excited voice of the director of the Materials Research Institute reached his ears.

"There is progress in our research on carbon-based chips!!!"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan's eyes condensed, and his heartbeat could not help but skip two beats.

He quickly said: "Are there finished products?"

Zhang Guanggui nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "Well, the latest product, we have jointly made a chip with 50 million carbon-based transistors and complete computing functions with Huawei HiSilicon and SMIC!"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan asked in surprise: "Carbon-based chips with complete computing functions, so fast?"

Inspired by the unique carbon nanotube arrangement phenomenon on the lunar mineral 'Yaochi Crystal', at the end of last year, the Xinghai Research Institute and Materials Research Institute established an S-level carbon-based chip project.

Under his leadership, the Institute of Materials successfully developed a carbon-based substrate that can integrate more than one million carbon nanotubes per square millimeter.

But being able to integrate high-density carbon nanotubes on a carbon-based substrate is far from enough for the development of carbon-based chips.

The core goal is to use the finished substrate to integrate transistors and form carbon-based transistors that can perform logical operations.

Therefore, the Institute of Materials has joined forces with companies and universities in the chip field such as HiSilicon of Warwick, SMIC, and the Carbon-Based Electronics Research Center of Peking University to jointly promote this project.

Although China is lacking in top low-nanometer silicon-based chips, it has a complete system for the research and development and preparation of secondary chips.

HiSilicon's design capabilities in the field of chip design, SMIC's complete process manufacturing capabilities, Peking University's Carbon-Based Electronics Research Center's carbon core research, plus Xinghai Research Institute's carbon-based substrates and high-density carbon nanotube arrangement technology.

A nearly complete set of carbon-based chip research and development, design, preparation, and production processes has been pieced together.

At the beginning of the year, they successfully prepared a semi-finished carbon-based chip that integrated millions of 'MOSFET metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors' and 'JFET junction field-effect transistors'.

However, there is still a long way to go before a complete carbon-based chip.

Xu Chuan originally thought that it might take at least a year to do it, but he didn't expect that only half a year had passed and they had made a complete carbon-based chip.

This efficiency is indeed amazing.

On the other side of the phone, Zhao Guanggui smiled and said: "It is mainly because of the powerful people at Huawei HiSilicon and SMIC. For more than half a year, the R\u0026D personnel on the other side have all been immersed in this project and have almost never left the laboratory building for 24 hours."

Hearing this answer, Xu Chuan also smiled. It is normal for the people at Huawei HiSilicon and SMIC to be powerful. In the field of chips, domestic high-tech companies have always been suppressed.

Due to the policies of the US government, foreign semiconductor manufacturers have become more and more wanton in controlling high-end and cutting-edge products and technologies in recent years, and have begun to behave completely unruly.

In this regard, the country has been suffering for a long time.

After years of frustration, now that we can see the opportunity to overtake in a corner in the field of carbon-based chips, how can we not devote all our energy?

Everyone is looking forward to it, that’s normal.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan was not in the mood to continue studying dark matter particles.

Finding Zheng Hai's phone number, he quickly dialed it.

The phone rang and was connected, and Zheng Hai's voice came over: "Professor, what's wrong?"

Xu Chuan quickly said: "Help me prepare a ticket back to Jinling."

Hearing this, Zheng Hai was slightly stunned and asked quickly: "Now?"

Having followed Xu Chuan for several years, he knew very well some of his living habits.

For example, when traveling, unless there is something urgent, he generally would not choose to take a plane as a means of transportation.

Although I don’t know what makes him resist airplanes, it is indeed a fact. Especially in the country, basically all travel is by high-speed rail.

If he chooses to travel by plane, it will usually be for important and urgent matters.

Xu Chuan nodded, glanced at the scorching sun outside the window, and said, "If possible, the sooner the better."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Is there anything else?" Zheng Hai responded quickly and asked additionally.

"No more, that's it."

Zheng Hai nodded and said: "Okay, I will contact you as soon as possible after the arrangements are made. Just wait for me downstairs."

"OK."

Xu Chuan responded, hung up the phone and started packing his things.

He was very confident when Zheng Hai worked, at least within the scope of his work, he had never been disappointed.

After getting on the special plane arranged by Zheng Hai, Xu Chuan quickly rushed back to Jinling from Star City.

As soon as the plane landed and left the airport, he didn't even bother to put his luggage back home. He asked Zheng Hai to drive him to the newly developed industrial park in Qixia District.

This new industrial zone was built around the Xinghai Research Institute. After several years of development, a considerable number of companies have settled in it, forming a huge scale.

After passing through the park covering an area of ​​nearly 200 square kilometers, Xu Chuan rushed to the carbon-based chip research laboratory without stopping.

They cooperate with HiSilicon, SMIC and other companies to develop carbon-based chips here.

After scanning his face and passing the access control, Xu Chuan entered the carbon-based chip research laboratory and found Zhao Guanggui. He was busy in front of an experimental equipment wearing a white coat and several researchers.

When he saw Xu Chuan appearing at the door, Zhao Guanggui was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Academician Xu, are you back so soon?"

If he remembered correctly, when he called in the morning, this person was still studying dark matter in Star City. Will he be in Aurous Hill now?

Xu Chuan nodded, wasting no time, and said quickly: "I just came back, where is the carbon-based chip? Is there a finished product here? Let me take a look."

Hearing this, Zhao Guanggui nodded quickly and said quickly: "Yes, there are samples here, but they are not placed here, but in a special storage room. Please come with me."

After temporarily handing over the research work to several other researchers in the laboratory, Zhao Guanggui took Xu Chuan out of the laboratory and came to another reserve room in the building.

Walking to a sample cabinet that looked like a safe, Zhao Guanggui unlocked the cabinet's safety lock through his fingerprint password.

Inside the locker, there are glassware laid flat on the cabinet floor. Each glassware has a small black carbon-based chip.
