Scholars in the courtyard

"Minister Yang, Dean!"

While the two were talking, Liu Hao came over from the laboratory, accompanied by Wang Li and others.

“Failed again!”

Liu Hao made a dull sound.

The faces of the people around him were equally grim. No one counted, but the number of failures must have been quite a lot.

"I still couldn't find the right temperature this time. I turned it up a little too high and it all came out."

Xu Hua came out from the back, looking frustrated.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Mr. Ye's eyes, and then he regained his composure, picked up the water cup on the table and handed it to Wang Li, "It's okay, failure is inevitable. Aren't we just trying to find the experience of success from failure little by little?"

"Drink some water, don't be discouraged, we will continue the experiment later."

Wang Li took the cup of water, but lowered her head and said, "Teacher Ye, maybe we found the wrong one."

"We tried every temperature node, but none of them worked."

"We were 100% enthusiastic in every experiment, but in the end, we still failed."

At the end of the conversation, the little girl's voice was filled with tears.

Too many failures will not only affect your confidence, but also your mood.

"Xiao Li!"

Zhao Yan, who was older, stepped forward to comfort her.

When Mr. Ye saw this, he wanted to try to comfort them, but Yang Xiaotao spoke up at this time, "Everyone has been busy all day, go back and have a rest."

“Experiments don’t happen overnight, and sometimes luck is needed.”

"Maybe if I'm lucky, I can make it."

As soon as Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth, the four of them didn't dare to say anything and just nodded.

Old Ye sighed again in his heart. The team was still too young and lacked experience.

"Go back and take a rest."

Mr. Ye also spoke, Xu Hua and others nodded and left the laboratory one after another.

"Master, I have something else to do here. I'll ask Wang Hao to take you and the Taoist back later."

"By the way, tell Qiu Ye that I won't be back for dinner tonight."

Ye Lao nodded, "Just keep busy, I'll go find the Taoist priest."

These days, Yang Xiaotao has been working overtime every day and he has gotten used to it.

After saying that, Mr. Ye stood up and left.

Yang Xiaotao followed him to Wang Kun's computer research center next door.

When we arrived at the computer research center next door, Wang Kun was leading a meeting.

On the other side, Liu Yongqiang was sorting out documents with his men. When he saw Yang Xiaotao coming over, he quickly put them down and stood up.

"Yang Department!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, walked over and looked at the information on the table, "Is this what you are going to take to the exchange?"

"Yes, I have sorted them out according to your requirements. They are all about the design ideas of the Starlight Calculator."

After Liu Yongqiang finished speaking, he picked up a document from the cabinet next to him and gave it to Yang Xiaotao, "Director Yang, this is based on some of your ideas about integrated circuits. Our focus this time is to collect information about this aspect."

Yang Xiaotao took it and flipped through a few pages, which were full of questions about integrated circuits.

"Yes, it will be clearer if you look for answers with questions."

"Also, don't just believe what others say. We all have our own tricks up our sleeves, and they're not fools."

“You have to learn to distinguish what’s useful, what’s the essence, and then give them back the dregs.”

"Yes, I understand."

Liu Yongqiang and others spoke seriously, and Yang Xiaotao had nothing else to say.

"After get off work, go home early to reunite with your family. You'll be gone for at least half a month, so don't miss home."

Everyone laughed again.

Then Yang Xiaotao went to Wang Kun's place and watched for a while. The other party was studying a new calculator, so Yang Xiaotao did not go in to disturb him.

After walking around, Yang Xiaotao looked at the time, went to the cafeteria, had dinner, and continued walking towards the research institute.

When we arrived at the solar energy laboratory again, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"Xiao Wei, it's time to work."

Yang Xiaotao turned on the light and entered the laboratory.

Xiaowei flew out of the pocket.

During this period, the two of them often worked overtime here.

Xiaowei has long been accustomed to what to do.

Previously, Yang Xiaotao had placed hope on Xu Hua and others, expecting them to succeed in their experiment.

But who would have thought that a "critical factor" of temperature would become an unsolvable obstacle.

In order to solve this problem, Mr. Ye and his colleagues worked very hard, but their efforts were fruitless and they failed.

So these days, Yang Xiaotao couldn't wait any longer.

Not to mention the operating level of the people involved in the experiment, and whether they would miss the "critical factor", the consumption of experimental materials alone was enough to make Yang Xiaotao a little overwhelmed.

Several other departments even expressed complaints.

Especially at the Computer Research Center, Han Sanfeng found Yang Xiaotao many times. The share that was supposed to be given to him was reduced. It was okay once or twice, but after so many times, if he didn't feel angry, it would be a waste of such a grown man.

So during this period of time, Yang Xiaotao brought Xiaowei, the "plug-in", into the experiment.

Of course, the cheats cannot be shown to others, so they can only do it quietly at night when Mr. Ye and others are away.

"Master, it's ready."

Xiaowei came to the test bench where Xu Hua and others had been working, and spoke to Yang Xiaotao.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao took out the prepared experimental materials from the space, put them into the experimental tank, and then operated the instrument to start controlling the temperature.

"Okay, let's get started."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he took out a pen and paper from the space and began to record.

Yang Xiaotao started his experiment from scratch, which is his usual style.

He doesn't care how others conduct experiments, and he doesn't care about the experimental data. Yang Xiaotao just follows the steps and does it bit by bit.

Fortunately, Xiaowei is here. This guy's efficiency is simply incredible.

Mr. Ye and his team need to verify a temperature point, which takes four hours and can only be done twice a day, or at most three times if they are fast.

And this is just an experiment, there is still a verification step.

Verification after verification experiment will take time before it can be determined whether the experimental crystalline silicon is useful.

Such a trip not only takes a long time, but also requires a lot of labor.

Otherwise, the little girl will collapse?

But for Xiaowei, as long as the temperature can be kept stable, the experimental result can be determined in three seconds.

Yes, it is to directly determine the experimental results.

All this is thanks to Xiaowei's control over light.

"Xiao Wei, let's start."

Yang Xiaotao operated the instrument and started the experiment.

"clear."

As she worked, Xiaowei's expression became serious.

Two little hands, emitting faint light, stood beside the experimental tank.

Although this light is weak, it is the sunlight that Xiaowei absorbs during the day. Although it is not strong under Xiaowei's control, it is just right for testing whether it is successful or not.

"Master, I can't get in."

After a moment, Xiaowei's voice came.

This means that the semiconductor's 'membrane' is not open, the osmotic pressure has no effect, and the 'particles' outside cannot enter.

Naturally, there is no need for Xiaowei to check.

Yang Xiaotao immediately put a cross after the current temperature data in the notebook, and then adjusted the temperature, increasing it a little bit again.

Then comes the time of waiting.

"Master, the spaceship you mentioned last time, is it powered by solar energy?"

Taking advantage of the free time, Xiaowei flew to Yang Xiaotao's shoulder and started the 'chatting' mode.

Yang Xiaotao sat aside, looking at the thermometer while dealing with it, "It's hard to say. Solar energy can only be one kind, like other stellar energy."

Xiao Wei tilted her head, then flew happily into the air, "I know, just like me, I can absorb the energy from the sun, the energy from the light bulb, and the energy from the flame, right?"

"Yes, Xiaowei is really smart."

"Of course, I'm much smarter than Wangcai."

Xiaowei was very happy when she received the praise, just like a little kid.

"Master, will you go to the universe?"

Suddenly, Xiaowei asked a question that had never come up before.

"To space?"

Yang Xiaotao was a little stunned because he had never thought about this question before.

The universe is too big.

Before the time travel, with the development of technology, it seems that the farthest travelers have not flown out of the solar system.

And how many years can he live?

Unless technology undergoes an epoch-making change, or science develops to a "fantasy" level and space travel becomes possible, it will be possible to start the great exploration of the universe.

Otherwise, he didn't want to die on the way.

And that would be too lonely.

"Forget it. Life is short. Let's spend our meaningful life on more important things."

Yang Xiaotao said, Xiaowei tilted her head, "Not enough time? How come?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at Xiaowei and said, well, she might still be a child in a few hundred years.

You can't say these things to this unconventional life form.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the temperature finally stabilized and the experiment continued in the experimental tank.

"Master, it's not good this time, but it's better than last time."

Xiaowei's voice sounded again, which made Yang Xiaotao excited. He finally got the idea.

"Wait a moment, I'll adjust it."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the materials in his hand and immediately adjusted the temperature, this time increasing the temperature range.

Then there's more waiting.

After more than half an hour, the temperature stabilized and time continued.

"Master, this time it was too high and went straight through."

Xiaowei's happy voice came, but she was angry because she couldn't get through after so many times.

This time it penetrated with ease.

But this is not what Yang Xiaotao wants. He wants to find the most suitable temperature to ensure that the "impurities" inside will not come out.

Yang Xiaotao was delighted and quickly took out the crystalline silicon used in the experiment. After it returned to room temperature, he asked Xiaowei to check it.

"Hurry and check if the light has gone in."

Xiaowei immediately moved the ball of light in her hand closer.

Yang Xiaotao was waiting nervously on the side.

Three seconds later, Xiao Wei's voice came, "Master, it's too big, it's all leaking out."

In Xiaowei's vision, when light particles enter the "tube", the particles begin to squeeze the original "impurities". If it is normal, these impurities will move to the other half, so that voltage can be formed.

But now, after the light particles enter, the impurities leak out.

"Well, I knew it wouldn't be that easy."

Yang Xiaotao sighed, then replaced the experimental materials, "Xiaowei, continue."

"OK."

Time passed slowly. Perhaps because of the progress made tonight, Yang Xiaotao and Xiaowei were more motivated and they even forgot about the time.

In the early morning, Yang Xiaotao was yawning, but his eyes were full of brilliance.

Xiaowei sat at the experimental table, looking a little listless.

The number of experiments tonight is more than the previous few days combined.

She is still a child, how can she be tortured like this?

"This is the last batch of materials. This time, it should be successful."

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao looked at the experimental tank, and the temperature inside had stabilized.

Looking at the data records in the notebook again, after a series of crosses, I finally found the most critical "factor".

"Master, how long will it take? Xiaowei wants to sleep."

"Be good, Xiaowei, this is the last time."

Yang Xiaotao spoke softly and gently, feeling a little distressed, as the little guy had paid a lot.

I made up my mind that after I finished this work, I would take her to the West Sea to swim.

"OK."

Hearing that it was the last time, Xiaowei immediately flew up and circled in the air.

Yang Xiaotao was speechless after seeing this. Is he tired?

This means you are not interested anymore.

I thought about it in my mind, but I didn't dare say it out loud, for fear that this "kid" would go on strike.

"bring it on!"

Xiaowei shouted and got ready.

The next second, the experiment began.

At the temperature in the experimental tank, one end of the semiconductor is immersed in the experimental liquid, and then under the influence of temperature, the osmotic pressure begins to change.

Soon, the 'outer film' in the semiconductor began to change, and some particles began to enter the crystalline silicon. The next second, Yang Xiaotao, reminded by Xiaowei, quickly cut off the power supply and ended the experiment.

After a while, Xiao Wei appeared. There was a faint light coming out of her hand, but she accurately sent the light particles into the semiconductor.

Yang Xiaotao only saw a little light appearing in the darkness, and then he could only wait.
