283: Nobody knows how scary virtual labs can be!

Facing Lin Chen's request to incidentally develop mobile phone lenses and mobile phone screen glass, Academician Gu An naturally would not refuse. He smiled and said, "Driving one sheep or driving two sheep, it's all the same, and these two things have commonalities. I agree to this."

Lin Chen's face lit up with joy. Academician Guo Ling, who excels in developing special glass, is naturally also suitable for developing mobile phone lenses.

With Academician Gu An's help, plus the 15% quality increase from the system's halo, the two combined would be formidable.

The mobile phone lenses of Shuguang Technology will definitely be the strongest in the world. Consumers will never have to worry about scratches leading to blurry photos.

And if this lens is used for mobile phone screens in the future, then Shuguang Technology's mobile phone screens will be the strongest in the world.

From then on, consumers will no longer need screen protectors, no longer need tempered films, high-definition films, and so on. Those phone films can directly be swept into the dustbin of history.

Therefore, if it can truly be achieved, Shuguang Technology's mobile phones will undoubtedly have an extremely attractive selling point.

Even if the corresponding functions or performance of Shuguang Technology's mobile phones are a bit weaker in the future, these two selling points alone will be enough.

Many consumers will purchase Shuguang Technology's mobile phones because of these two selling points!

Overjoyed, Lin Chen then turned his attention to the other Academicians, especially Academician Guo Ling, who held two AcadeMician titles.

Academician Guo Ling naturally understood Lin Chen's meaning; after all, he is a highly intelligent talent.

So Academician Guo Ling reluctantly said, "You can come to me for help, but the lithography machine is the most important thing. As long as it doesn't affect the research and development progress of the lithography machine, you can ask me for help."

"Hahaha, don't worry, I understand. I will definitely ask Academician Guo Ling for help without affecting the research and development of the lithography machine."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Academician Guo Ling gave Lin Chen a helpless look. If it weren't for Lin Chen being the financier, Academician Guo Ling would definitely not have agreed.

Then Lin Chen turned his attention to Academician Lu Ke, who was standing nearby. Academician Lu Ke also said helplessly, "You can also come to me for help, as long as it doesn't affect the research and development of the lithography machine."

"Okay."

Lin Chen agreed, then stood up and bowed to the Academicians, thanking them.

Seeing Lin Chen's action, they nodded slightly, accepting Lin Chen's gratitude.

After all, helping with extra matters is inherently ambiguous between yes and no. At this point, their agreement could justify Lin Chen's gratitude.

"Alright, no more thanks. Hurry up and eat, eat!"

President Lu, who was nearby, also smiled and greeted Lin Chen. As for Lin Chen inviting several Academicians to help with matters outside of the lithography machine.

As the President of Xia Academy of Sciences, he also tacitly approved, after all, the stronger Shuguang Technology is, the more money it will have for research and development.

If Shuguang Technology is at a competitive disadvantage and doesn't make money, then the lithography machine will definitely fail. After all, if Shuguang Technology itself has no money, it can't be forced to spend money.

Under these circumstances, for matters that strengthen Shuguang Technology's capabilities, as long as it does not affect the research and development of the lithography machine, President Lu also indicated that he would tacitly approve.

Thus, with President Lu's tacit approval and the agreement of several Academicians, Shuguang Technology can be considered to have indirectly acquired several AcadeMician-level scientific research giants.

Although they are not helping full-time, they only help when they have time after researching and developing the lithography machine.

It is actually equivalent to guiding relevant personnel on how to make breakthroughs, proposing solutions, etc., when they have time, and not being fully responsible for those matters.

But even so, with the experience and extensive knowledge of the Academicians, Shuguang Technology's development speed will definitely be much faster no matter what it develops next.

Lin Chen has the mountain fortress king system. The biggest advantage of this mountain fortress king system in research and development is that the cost of conducting experiments or improving certain processes is equal to 0.

The disadvantage is that it doesn't help much with developing unknown new things.

After all, to develop something, the most important thing is to have research ideas and corresponding theories, and the Virtual Laboratory cannot help Lin Chen with these things.

The reason why Shuguang Technology's scientific research achievements can be launched so quickly is mainly due to Lin Chen's rich knowledge from his previous life and the terrifying amount of knowledge he possesses after learning with a 30% increase in learning speed.

Finally, coupled with the fact that experimental research and development does not require cost, the combination of these three factors allowed for so many research achievements to be created in less than two years.

And now, with Academician Lu Ke, who specializes in metal materials, Academician Gu An, who specializes in optical glass and optical fiber materials, Academician Guo Ling, who specializes in physics and mathematics.

Finally, coupled with Professor Xu Duangu, who specializes in lithography machines and optical disc technology, and whose actual research and development capabilities and achievements can reach the AcadeMician title.

With these great figures, even if they only offer a suggestion after understanding the situation, it will be of great benefit and help to Shuguang Technology.

It can avoid many detours and directly take the most correct path, which can be considered as indirectly increasing research and development speed and reducing scientific research expenditures, so there are many benefits.

Under these circumstances, no one, including Lin Chen, knew how much help the joining of these Academicians would provide to Shuguang Technology in the future.

With Lin Chen's and the Academicians' rich experience and knowledge, coupled with the Virtual Laboratory's zero-cost research and the terrifying ability to save the current state of equipment and materials, and then infinitely copy and refresh them.

The results brought about by the superposition of these advantages are quite terrifying and can even determine the speed of future technological development in Great Xia.

At this moment, the whole world does not know how terrifying the scientific research power that Shuguang Technology can unleash after acquiring several Academicians is.

In fact, not only the whole world doesn't know, but several Academicians, including Lin Chen, don't know these things. They don't know how terrifying the Virtual Laboratory is once it's fully operational.

The mountain fortress king system is indeed not good at developing unknown things, but that does not mean it cannot develop them.

The Virtual Laboratory has two extremely terrifying functions, which can be called research artifacts.

The first is to save the state of parts and machines. This function seems ordinary, but upon closer inspection, it is terrifying. One can imagine how suitable this function is for scientific research and development.

For example, if you are manufacturing a metal material, because you have saved its state, even if it fails during the subsequent manufacturing process, you can completely start over, and directly inherit the original optimal manufacturing progress!

Another example, if you want to improve or research a certain machine, since the machine has saved multiple states after being disassembled, it can be directly refreshed and copied next time, saving a lot of time and effort from repetitive work.

Therefore, the function of saving the state of parts and machines seems very simple, but upon closer inspection, one will find that this function is quite powerful, and can be called a research artifact.
