I Am the President of the University

Optical Core Research Center.

Ren Hong team.

The laboratory used to be full of life, but today the atmosphere is particularly depressing.

"Wenyu, do you... want to take a rest?" A young man wearing glasses gently pushed Dai Wenyu's shoulder.

"No, there is something wrong with this model. I will definitely be able to complete it!" Dai Wenyu didn't even look back, he lowered his head and deduced on the paper.

The young man glanced at Dai Wenyu. His eyes were bloodshot and his hair was messy.

After looking around the laboratory, I couldn't help but sigh.

His name is Xu Sheng, and he is a member of the second batch of support team from the University of Science and Technology of China.

From the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to the Lantern Festival, support teams were reporting in one after another. As for the assignment of tasks, they were divided among the nearest units. Xu Sheng and his team met up with Ren Hong's team.

It was okay in the front, because they were all acquaintances, and they quickly integrated into the team, and the research and development went smoothly.

After the addition of manpower, the research and development progress has been greatly improved. The scientific researchers in the entire center are full of confidence and feel that they will definitely be able to conquer this optical core technology within half a year.

Who knew that at this juncture, a problem would suddenly arise.

Progress is stuck!

And not only their team, but other teams are also not ideal.

It seems that everything went so smoothly before that they forgot that what they were developing was the world's first photonic chip!

The sudden incident left many researchers stunned.

As for the solution...it can only be forced.

I spent time in the laboratory every day, and when I was too sleepy, I would go back to take a nap. I would even lie down on the table and sleep when I was too lazy to go back.

As for eating, if you are hungry, order takeout, or just eat instant noodles.

The hardware facilities here at the Optical Core Research Center are very good, including shower rooms and rest rooms.

Just bring a change of clothes and toiletries here, which saves you time even going back to the hotel.

But are these useful?

Xu Sheng was a little confused. Everyone was doing experiments day and night, but their efforts may not be rewarded.

Today, even a doctor in their team fainted. Fortunately, he was sent to the school hospital. The doctor said that he was just overworked and just need to rest for a while.

"Wenyu, do you think we will succeed?" Xu Sheng asked uneasily.

"We will succeed, and we can only succeed!" Dai Wenyu replied loudly.

At this moment, there seemed to be blazing fire burning in his eyes.

"We must build the optical core, even if we risk our lives!" He clenched his fists, and these words seemed to motivate him to move forward. \b

Xu Sheng was stunned, then nodded solemnly, "You are right, we can definitely make it happen!"

At this moment, the laboratory door opened and three people walked in.

Chen Hao saw Professor Ren Hong at a glance, stepped forward quickly, and asked, "Professor Ren, how is the situation?"

Ren Hong was relieved when he saw Chen Hao's appearance, "Principal Chen, this is what happened..."

The more he heard, the deeper Chen Hao's brows furrowed.

"I will visit Dr. Zheng who fainted later, but your work attitude... I must criticize you. It is unhealthy and unscientific!" After speaking, Chen Hao's tone became more serious.

Day and night, even sleeping directly in the laboratory, how can this be done!

You cannot put your body and health at risk for the sake of scientific research.

Who is not anxious about Optical Core? He is anxious too!

But what's the use of being anxious?

"I know this too. I've tried to persuade him, but it's no use." Ren Hong said with a wry smile.

All the scientific researchers are like being possessed, sticking to the laboratory, as if they will not give up until they conquer the optical core technology.

Professor Zhou Haoshen and Dr. Hao Qi, who were behind Chen Hao, listened to Professor Ren Hong's words and then looked around at the researchers in the laboratory. They all had dark circles under their eyes, as if they had not had a good rest in the past few days.

How can anyone be so willing to do scientific research without risking their lives?

Chen Hao felt angry. The chip was not a simple thing.

This is a big project!

It can't be built overnight. This thing requires a long-term struggle. According to the methods of the scientists at the center, half of them will die before the optical core is built.

Without even thinking about it, Chen Hao muttered silently in his mind, and a light screen popped up in front of his eyes.

Looking at the above content and thinking about what Ren Hong said just now, Chen Hao's eyes became extremely complicated.

[Scientific Research Project: Optical Core]

[Scientific researchers: 396 people]

[Scientific research progress: 72%]

[Time required: 1 year and 6 days]

Two months ago, the scientific research progress of Optical Core was still 50%, and the required time was more than 1 year and 9 months. However, these scientists at the research center abruptly reduced the time by 7 months!

Chen Hao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Professor Ren, please notify all the scientific researchers in the center. I want everyone to arrive at the auditorium within half an hour, otherwise I will cut off the power and network of the center in half an hour."

"Okay, this is my notification." Ren Hong probably guessed what Chen Hao was thinking, and went to notify him after saying that.

Half an hour later.

In the auditorium of Guanghua University.

There was a lot of commotion below, and Chen Hao knew that many scientific researchers were speechless at this inexplicable expulsion notice.

Chen Hao patted himself on the stage and patted the microphone.

"I know everyone is dissatisfied with this sudden call-up, and they are even scolding me in their hearts, but please listen to what I have to say."

"I learned about some of the recent events from Professor Ren. I feel relieved, but even more worried."

"Why? Because this is scientific research, just like fishing, and this fish is a light core. Seeing that the fish has taken the bait, everyone starts to pull up anxiously, but this is wrong! Once anxious, the fish will He decoupled and ran away, so we must hold firm at this time and not lose our position!”

"If your steps are not solid, no matter how fast you run, you will only fall. Even if you walk a little slower, every step he takes on the ground is steady."

The scientific researchers present all understood what Chen Hao said, but everyone was just anxious.

The progress of this scientific research is stuck, and there has been no progress for more than a week, so they can only do this.

Why has Huaxing’s chip supply crisis been lifted?

Isn't it because Western countries feel that it is only a matter of time before optical cores are developed, so they are afraid to continue cutting off supply?

Chips are like a race. We are too far behind in electronic chips. A photolithography machine is like a heavy weight on us and we cannot run fast at all!

If you want to overtake in a corner, you must bypass the photolithography machine. Developing photonic chips is the only way!

Chen Hao looked around at everyone. He knew that what he just said was useless, but he had a way to solve this crisis.

"The 396 comrades sitting here today come from 8 units across the country, including Tsinghua University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and Fudan University. What brings us together?"

"It's a chip!"

"Chips are important weapons of great powers like atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, and missiles! In the 1960s, our country faced a nuclear crisis, and now we are facing a chip crisis again!"

“From the first atomic bomb to the explosion of the hydrogen bomb, it took the United States seven years and three months, the Soviet Union six years and three months, the United Kingdom four years and seven months, France eight and six months, and China was impoverished and had no external assistance, but it only took two years and eight months!”

"How much did we spend on the research and development of the optical core? It took less than a year!"

"More than fifty years ago, Mr. Qian, Mr. Deng, and Mr. Yu forged the shield of the Republic, which protected our Republic from being bullied by Western countries."

"Today, the light core we forge is the sword of the Republic. We not only need a shield, but also a sword! Only in this way can we deter those Western countries!"

Chen Hao's words made everyone's blood boil with excitement. \b

In the past two years, the country has been passive due to chips, which is similar to that period.

What they are doing now is what they did back then with two bombs and one satellite.

It was just Chen Hao's last few words that caused an uproar in the auditorium.

"So, do you all know how important the mission you are shouldering is?"

"Scientific research requires a balance between work and rest. How can you ruin your body like this!"

"From now on, the entire center will have a day off. Everyone must give me a good rest."

Chen Hao changed the subject, with a smile on his face, "In order to prevent some comrades from going back to the research center or doing research in hotel rooms, there is a school bus ready outside the auditorium. I will send everyone to Gulangyu Island for a day later. Everyone should You can have fun and sleep when you should, but no boat will take you out of the island until 6 pm tomorrow!”

In order to let these scientific researchers have a good rest, Chen Hao took great pains and refused to give them a chance to return to the hotel. They were all forced to stop working on Gulangyu Island for a day.

Where can I find people who do scientific research day and night? This will not advance the progress of scientific research, but will harm the body!

One person has already fallen down today. If this continues, someone will fall down every day in the future.

Chen Hao chose to ignore everyone's dissatisfaction.

As long as he is here, no one will be able to work today!

Just give me a rest!

On the other hand, Zhou Haoshen and Hao Qi, who were in the audience, were deeply moved after hearing these words.

Zhou Hao looked deeply at Chen Hao's back and chuckled.

"This time we are in the right place."
