Technological Supremacy Chapter 87: Brainstorm!
Luo Jia himself did not expect that a meal of hot pot would actually start his inspiration.
So he couldn't wait to return to the company, and without even saying goodbye to Nie Xiaodou, he plunged into his meditation center.
Perhaps human beings really need to relax occasionally in order to work better.
Because of laziness, humans invented sofas, because they didn't want to farm, humans invented tools, because they didn't want to walk, humans invented cars and trains, and because they didn't want to calculate, humans invented computers.
Thinking about it this way, laziness is simply the light of mankind, guiding mankind to move forward.
Two days later.
Luo Jia finally walked out of the studio, the morning sun rose and shone on Luo Jia, feeling warm.
He came to the bathroom, filled a bathtub with hot water, and soaked in it comfortably, bathing his whole body in white soap bubbles.
Luo Jia didn't have the habit of wearing underwear. After taking a shower, he immediately put on a set of thick sweatpants and a thick hooded sweater, then sat on the sofa, and the robot brought a hair dryer to dry his hair.
Dressed neatly, Luo Jia called An Ran, "Get ready, let's have a brainstorm this morning!"
...
After walking out of the meditation center, Luo Jia entered the company through the small separate door, and then went directly to the big meeting room.
This place is designed like a university open classroom and can accommodate 200 people. The main purpose is to gather the company's elite forces and start brainstorming.
The division of labor in modern society is highly specialized, and it is no longer an era of individual heroism. Complex technology research and development depends on the strength of the team and the wisdom of all people.
Even Luo Jia, who has inherited an extraterrestrial civilization, cannot build a car by himself. In terms of appearance, experts in aesthetics, industrial design, aerodynamics, structural layout, and material research are needed.
When you open the engine compartment, there are even more subjects involved. Mechanical design, thermodynamics, transmission mechanics, electronics and electrical, and chemistry are all a collection of countless high-end majors.
Brainstorming is a unique working mode of Star Technology. Once it is started, all the strengths of the company will be gathered, and everyone will work together in the shortest possible time to deal with the problems encountered at the moment.
After receiving the order, the Administration Department began to prepare coffee machines in the large conference room, put boxes of eight times Red Bull, as well as fruits and snacks.
Before the problem is resolved, usually no one will leave. In addition to the main conference room, the major project departments will also stop the work at hand and be ready to enter the site for assistance at any time.
In the conference room, the number of people quickly increased. Those who came here were all the elites of the company. In addition to experts in science and engineering, the heads of the three major departments of administration, finance, and patents also needed to be present.
An Ran, who just got up from the bed, quickly walked into the conference room wearing a pair of cotton slippers, kicking off the prelude to this brainstorming session.
Everyone was very nervous, because Luo Jia and An Ran were always in charge of the company's brainstorming. The speed of their thinking and speaking was so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to keep up.
"Are you ready?" Luo Jia asked An Ran.
He had just received a cup of coffee from the executive and was drinking it in small sips. Like Luo Jia, An Ran also had the habit of drinking coffee without sugar.
An Ran smiled confidently, and pointed to her head, "I never need any preparations, I'm here."
Luo Jia nodded, and began to quickly write on the huge whiteboard, which was directly a complicated DNQ exposure mechanism formula.
"Currently, the photoresists used in the world, no matter what grade, are all divided into positive and negative, negative cinnamic acid polyester, positive zinaphthoquinone plus cresol novolak resin."
"The mechanism is as follows. In the unexposed area, DNQ and phenolic resin form a whole through a coupling reaction. In the exposed part, DNQ absorbs energy to cause a photochemical reaction and transforms into a substance that can be dissolved in the developer solution, while the unexposed part is insoluble in developer."
As expected of the two strongest brains in the company, Luo Jia had just started, An Ran immediately understood what he meant, stood up, and wrote at a faster speed on another whiteboard.
"But the problem is that the ultraviolet lithography used now has a wavelength of 193NM, while the next-generation extreme ultraviolet lithography, that is, EUV, has a wavelength of only 13.5NM, which is 14.2962863 times shorter. We have to build on the original formula, Add metal oxide to enhance photosensitive performance. Although the modified sixth-grade photoresist can meet extreme ultraviolet photoetching, it also brings the problem of lower yield rate, that is, the probability of grating formation is greatly reduced. "
"Mr. Luo, since you raised this question, you probably thought of a new modification plan?" An Ran said.
"Good."
Luo Jia nodded, and wrote down a long list of more complicated formulas on the whiteboard.
"This is the modification plan I thought of, a new synthetic polymer photosensitive polymer material, used to replace the photosensitive phenolic resin that has been used for many years..."
...
When the company started brainstorming, in addition to the people in the conference room, other people also watched the live broadcast on the internal network.
This brainstorming has just begun, and everyone feels like they are going crazy.
As expected of the two wonders of Xingchen Technology, Luo Jia and An Ran's speed is really too fast. In a short time, the two of them came and went, and they filled three huge whiteboards.
When Enron puts forward a hypothesis, Luo Jia will play the role of the attacker, doing his best to find the loopholes in his hypothesis, and vice versa.
Since it was Luo Jia who proposed the photosensitive colloid modification plan today, it was An Ran who acted as the attacker.
Others can't be idle either. Luo Jia and An Ran will keep asking the patent department to inquire about the patent authorization to find out whether similar modification schemes have been registered. The finance department should calculate the cost on the spot.
An Ran and Luo Jia are not omnipotent. Whenever it comes to areas they don't understand, experts in other fields are required to come on stage to make arguments and explanations.
All the heads of various project departments at the scene ~IndoMTL.com~ all looked serious, frantically recording the content written by Luo Jia and An Ran on their notebooks or tablets.
"If one day, I can participate in brainstorming like all the big guys, that would be great."
"Come on, today the main departments involved are chemistry, materials science and optics. Look at Zhang Dongning in chemistry, Ji Ming in materials science, and Lu Chengfeng and Zhang Yuechuan in optics. They all started to sweat. "
"That's right, it's very stressful to participate in a brainstorming session. After all, it's not something ordinary people can do to keep up with the thinking rhythm of Mr. Luo and An Ran." Everyone discussed behind their backs.
The reason why Xingchen Technology has brainstorming is to solve the problem in the shortest time.
With the fierce confrontation and high-speed thinking transformation of the big guys in the conference room, the whole company is like a precision machine, running crazily.
The expert group led by Luo Jia and An Ran is like the brain of the entire company, while the major business divisions of the company are the arms and bodies, cooperating with every move in the conference room.
As long as the conference room puts forward an argument, other departments immediately start calculations, the laboratory conducts experiments, financial calculation costs, and the patent department searches the global patent database.
Don't even think about being idle in the administrative department. When everyone is busy with work, they have to be responsible for tea and food, file transfer and other logistical tasks.
So far, the total number of employees in the hardware department of Xingchen Technology alone has exceeded 1,000, and the proportion of highly educated and high-IQ talents with a master's degree or above has reached an unprecedented 90%!
From the morning until the early morning of the next day, Star Technology, a huge machine composed entirely of high-tech talents, was running at full speed.
At the same time, a new modified fully synthetic photoresist is about to emerge.
