2: Graduation project: Quantum chip lithography machine?

The next day.

Dorm 211.

Sunlight slanted across Lin Chen's bed from the not-quite-closed curtains.

Fatty Wang groggily got up, rubbed his eyes, and sat up, glancing at the opposite bed.

"How is Old Lin sleeping even later than me?!"

"He's been asleep for over ten hours, still sleeping? Be careful not to sleep past it!"

Fatty Wang grumbled groggily.

Normally, Lin Chen was always the first to get up for exercise, then eat breakfast.

But today, it was an exception.

Seeing no reaction from Lin Chen.

Fatty Wang suddenly jolted, the flesh on his face quivering twice as he instantly sobered up. He leaned over to Lin Chen's bed and nudged him with his elbow: "Old Lin, get up, or there won't be any breakfast left!"

Still no reaction!

He was like a corpse.

Fatty Wang's heart sank.

Lin Chen went to bed after watching the meteor shower yesterday, and he's been asleep for over ten hours?

He couldn't have slept past it, could he?

He extended his chubby hand, trembling, and placed it in front of Lin Chen's nostrils, feeling a faint breath.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, you scared me to death!"

Fatty Wang patted his chest, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Could it be that some object hit his head while watching the meteor shower?"

"No, I need to call an ambulance to get him checked out..."

Thinking this, Fatty Wang quickly pulled out his phone, ready to dial 120.

"Don't call."

Suddenly, Lin Chen's eyes snapped open, gazing intently at Fatty Wang.

"Holy crap!" Fatty Wang's hand trembled in fright, almost dropping his phone: "Do you want to scare me to death and inherit my fat?! I've been calling you for ages with no response!"

"Making a fuss over nothing!" Lin Chen sat up, stretched, and rolled his eyes at him: "I was in a deep sleep, understand?"

"Damn! What kind of deep sleep lasts 12 hours?!" Fatty Wang said disdainfully, "Confess honestly, did you make some inappropriate wish to the meteor shower last night?"

"Ahem!" Lin Chen coughed lightly, not directly answering him, "Alright, hurry up and wash up and eat breakfast, or it'll really be gone soon!"

He would absolutely not tell Fatty Wang that he had used his 50 years of singlehood to make a wish and obtain a golden finger!

After a brief playful exchange, Lin Chen got up to wash.

After breakfast, he returned and sat in front of his computer.

This was a second-hand laptop he bought with his scholarship.

Suddenly, he noticed a strange phenomenon.

He felt exceptionally clear-headed.

The parameters for the quantum lithography machine he remembered from the Inheritance Space were like they were etched into his mind; he could recall them with just a thought.

Knowledge he had learned before could now be clearly recalled.

Even knowledge from his high school days was remembered with perfect clarity.

"Could this be the change brought by inheriting the inheritance seed?!" Lin Chen secretly rejoiced.

Next, he just needed to write the "quantum lithography machine Technology" into a feasible plan and submit it as his graduation project.

He believed his mentor would definitely take it seriously upon seeing it.

Of course, the core technology within it would certainly need to be somewhat reserved.

He only needed to attract the attention of the higher-ups.

Submitting the inheritance technology in this manner was the safest approach.

Lin Chen's fingers flew across the keyboard.

The "quantum lithography machine Feasibility Plan" slowly began to take shape.

A moment later, Fatty Wang also finished breakfast and returned.

Seeing Lin Chen so focused, he leaned over for a look.

Upon seeing the document title, his squinted eyes suddenly opened by a centimeter: "Holy crap! Old Lin, were you stunned by a meteor last night? You're actually making this your graduation project?"

quantum lithography machine?

Outrageous!

It had always been just a concept; no country had ever truly brought it out of the laboratory.

Moreover, Lin Chen, a graduate student, wanted to tackle this!

Even if he wanted to enter the chip industry, he should be a bit more realistic.

"You don't understand!" Lin Chen stopped his movements and explained seriously: "Isn't Eagle-land trying to restrict our high-end chip manufacturing right now?"

"They control a large number of patents for silicon-based chips, making it too difficult to circumvent them."

"Therefore, we can only look for new solutions!"

"And quantum chips are the most feasible solution."

After speaking, Lin Chen continued to type on the keyboard.

Seeing this, Fatty Wang knew that Lin Chen was determined and would see it through to the end.

However, seeing Lin Chen so serious, perhaps there really was a solution?

The world of a genius was beyond his comprehension.

Though both were graduate students at the National University of Defense Technology, there was still a gap.

"Old Lin, then you keep writing, I look forward to your results!"

Unable to stop him, Fatty Wang could only offer his blessings.

Lin Chen didn't reply to him.

His attention was entirely focused on the computer.

Over the next ten days.

Lin Chen completely entered a secluded mode.

During the day, he wrote the plan on the computer, and at night, he rested and entered the Inheritance Space to build the lithography machine.

In the Inheritance Space laboratory, Lin Chen continuously optimized and repeatedly started over.

"The light source intensity here needs to be adjusted again to adapt to our existing materials..."

"The packaging technology for quantum chips needs to be simplified for mass production..."

Until the evening of the ninth day.

Lin Chen finally built the quantum lithography machine in the Inheritance Space and passed the verification of the Inheritance Space.

"It's finally done!"

It was not easy!

Even though it was only nine days.

But in the Inheritance Space, he didn't know how many materials he had wasted.

If it were in reality, it would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, after his optimization in the Inheritance Space, he wouldn't have to take so many detours in reality later on.

"Next, I need to complete the chip design and build it to unlock the next technology inheritance!"

Lin Chen was full of fighting spirit and began designing the chip again.

The next day.

Lin Chen got up early.

Because it was the last day to submit his graduation project.

He needed to perform the final check and confirmation of the "quantum lithography machine Feasibility Plan."

For an entire day.

Lin Chen stared at the computer screen, checking it over and over again, all core technologies had been deleted.

Even if it were leaked, it would be useless!

He didn't finish checking until seven in the evening.

"Now, there should be no problem!"

Taking a deep breath, he found his mentor Luo Di's email and chose to send it confidentially.

Seeing the email successfully sent, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Done."

Next, he re-entered the Inheritance Space to continue the great undertaking of quantum chip design... At the same time.

National University of Defense Technology faculty apartment.

Lin Chen's mentor, Luo Di, sat in front of the computer, rubbing his throbbing temples.

Nearly sixty years old, his hair was half-white, his thick-rimmed glasses had slipped to the tip of his nose, and his eyes were full of fatigue.

On the desk, a large tea mug held wolfberry water that had already cooled.

"Alas, this year's graduation projects are worse than previous years."

Looking at the various graduation projects of students on the computer, Luo Di sighed.

Then, he looked at a few more, none of which were satisfactory.

Until only one email remained in his inbox, which had just arrived.

Luo Di picked up the tea mug, preparing to take a sip of wolfberry water to moisten his throat.

Upon seeing the email title, he frowned slightly and put down the tea mug.

Sender: Lin Chen.

Title: "quantum lithography machine Feasibility Plan."

"Lin Chen? Why is this Child also dabbling in such impractical things?"

Luo Di had a good impression of Lin Chen.

He was the top scorer in the National College Entrance Examination, rejected Tsinghua and Peking Universities to come to the National University of Defense Technology, consistently ranked first in professional courses, was down-to-earth, and patriotic.

But a quantum lithography machine?

This was not something a student's graduation project could touch.

Eagle-land, in cooperation with Western countries, was trying to choke the Great Xia Country, and the most crucial item was the lithography machine, especially the EUV lithography machine, which only ASML could manufacture globally.

Lin Chen, a graduate student, writing about this?

He was too ambitious!

Luo Di felt a bit angry at his lack of contention, thinking Lin Chen was going astray.

Such a good student, yet he was taking a side path.

"Tomorrow, I must have a good talk with him; I can't let him go astray!" Luo Di, cherishing talent, prepared to earnestly persuade Lin Chen.

But he also wanted to see if a genius like Lin Chen's graduation project would have anything different about it.

So he clicked on the email content.
