Chapter 387: Laboratory Upgraded Again Lu Shan pondered for a moment. The upgrade of the laboratory would bring more sophisticated equipment and more advanced scientific research technology. Although a large number of points will be consumed this time, it will be difficult to make further breakthroughs in future scientific research results if the level of the laboratory is not upgraded. Moreover, the benefits brought by the system upgrade far exceed these 20000 points. He clicked the "Agree" button without hesitation. [Consume 20000 points] [Academic and technology points: 14129 points] [Laboratory level: LV4, precision laboratory] [Heroic Spirit Slot: 3 (empty 0)] Seeing the laboratory level upgraded, he felt relieved.
Upgrading from LV3 to LV4 means that the laboratory facilities will be more advanced and work efficiency will be greatly improved. This will lay a solid foundation for subsequent scientific research. As for the Heroic Spirit slot, it is still empty, but it doesn’t matter. Currently, three scientists are enough. It takes a lot of energy just to digest the wisdom of these three scientists. The upgrade of the laboratory has given the entire space a new look, and the originally cramped environment has been completely broken. Lu Shan stood in the center of the new laboratory, took a deep breath, and felt both excited and relieved. "This is what scientific research looks like," he muttered to himself, looking around. Today, everyone has their own independent workstation and exclusive space. The equipment on the desktop is precise and efficient, and the entire laboratory exudes a new technological atmosphere. The originally cramped corners of the laboratory have now become open and orderly, the equipment is no longer crowded, and everyone's work space is no longer limited. In the small space before the laboratory, the lives of the three scientists were once full of depression. At that time, there were only two bedrooms in the entire laboratory. Poincare and Turing took turns to rest there, and the sleeping area was very crowded. Especially Poincare and Turing, they teased each other and kept each other company with the collision of ideas in the middle of the night. The other bedroom was occupied exclusively by Marie Curie, where she rested quietly every night. At that time, there was almost no space in the laboratory except for scientific research. Everyone can only rest on a small bed, and if they want to organize their personal belongings, they can only stuff them into the corner. They don't even have their own independent research space. Everything has to be crowded into that small space, even though this has been the most familiar environment for them in recent years. Lu Shan sighed softly, turned around and looked at the three people happily. As expected, the three people were also extremely surprised. Poincare was the first to laugh, "This... is incredible!"
"After such a long time, the laboratory has finally been upgraded, but the progress is too slow." "Yes, originally we could only live in those two small rooms and take turns to rest." "Now I can finally get a good night's sleep." Turing stood in the corner and rolled his eyes at Poincare: "Remember that we are heroic spirits. We don't have sleep at all. Bedrooms are useless." Poincare was not convinced at all and said with a smile: "Meditation is also a science." Marie Curie smiled gently and walked to the corner of the laboratory. "The workbench has become larger. It would be better if it could be equipped with some experimental equipment." “Although I have always believed that the significance of scientific research is not just about equipment and space, seeing the changes today, I still feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart.” Lu Shan looked at them and said, "It would be nice if the working environment was more comfortable." “This is the only way to create the greatest value for you.” Turing said sarcastically: "It can squeeze us to the maximum extent." Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Lu Shan had long been accustomed to Turing's teasing: "Okay, you don't have to eat the hot dry noodles later." Turing quickly changed his expression and said, "Don't say I love my work. I love my work very much." Turing: "With our efforts and dedication, technological breakthroughs are no longer a distant dream." Poincare felt sick: "Come on, stop disgusting me. I would rather believe that you are doing this for hot-dried noodles than for serious work." The crowd burst into laughter. Marie Curie walked up to Lu Shan and said, "Boss, the laboratory upgrade is a good thing. You should pay more attention to rest." "You don't look very well. You must have stayed up late for several nights." Marie Curie was a woman, so her observations were more detailed. When Lu Shan entered the laboratory today, he felt that Lu Sheng looked particularly haggard. Lu Shan laughed awkwardly. I have been busy with various complicated things at the end of the year recently, and I definitely haven't had a good rest. "I can relax for a few days during the New Year." Lu Shan changed the subject and got down to business: "Have there been any breakthroughs in the research of topological semimetals?" Lu Shan has always hoped that topological semimetals could be used on chips, and this hope can only be placed on Turing and Poincare. Speaking of business, Poincare nodded, his eyes also full of excitement, "Yes, I was just about to tell you that the properties of topological semimetal materials far exceed our previous expectations." "It not only has extraordinary performance in electronic conduction, but also has great potential in quantum computing and chip manufacturing." Turing also stood up at this time and added: "The properties of this material can even change our existing chip manufacturing route."
"If topological semimetal materials can be applied to chip production, they can even achieve computing speeds and performance far exceeding those of traditional semiconductors." Lu Shan nodded slightly, already having some clear plan in mind. "You mean we can use topological semimetal materials to break through the limitations of silicon-based semiconductors and create a new chip?" "That's right." Poincare's eyes flashed with thought. "Topological semimetals have a unique quantum state that can exhibit ultra-high electron mobility at extremely low temperatures." "Unlike conventional silicon-based materials, it is virtually unaffected by temperature fluctuations and is capable of processing data at much higher frequencies." "Moreover, it conducts electrons very efficiently, which in theory could be used to create faster chips that use less power." Turing also added: "Not only that, topological semimetal materials have special magnetism and topological structure under electric fields, which makes them play a huge role in the field of quantum computing." "With this material, we can not only break through the current computer performance bottleneck, but may even gain an advantage in the field of quantum computing." Lu Shan's heartbeat quickened, and he finally understood that this was not just a small experimental breakthrough, but a revolutionary discovery that could change the entire technological industry landscape. "So, how can we actually apply this material to chip production?" he asked impatiently. Poincare groaned for a moment, frowning slightly. "At present, we already have a preliminary theoretical framework." "But in practical applications, the most difficult part is how to stabilize this topological semimetal material at room temperature and pressure." "Although it performs well at low temperatures, to be applied to actual chip production, we must find a way to make it operate stably at room temperature." Turing put forward his own view from another perspective, "In addition, the manufacturing process of topological semimetals is completely different from that of traditional silicon-based semiconductors." "We need to develop a new process to achieve its mass production." "According to existing theories, we may need to rely on external field effects or surface modification technology to truly transform the advantages of this material into practical applications." Lu Shan listened quietly, feeling excited about the challenge of this topic. He knew that this was a technology that could truly surpass silicon-based semiconductors, and once successful, it would completely change the global technological landscape. "We will succeed." Lu Shan suddenly spoke, his tone was extremely firm, "This material can not only be used in chip manufacturing, but also has an unparalleled advantage in the field of quantum computing." "Once we break through this technology, we will be able to compete with Western technology giants, or even surpass them!" Poincare and Turing smiled at each other, their eyes full of confidence in this project. "Just as you said, Boss. What we are doing now may become a new starting point for future technological development." There was an unmistakable confidence in Poincare's voice. Turing also nodded. "In the field of chips, if we can successfully break through, we can almost completely subvert the existing computing architecture." "We will master our own technology and no longer rely on Western technology standards." In the laboratory, the shadows of Poincare and Turing were still busy, both of them immersed in a series of theoretical deductions and calculations. Lu Shan looked at the two scientists and could feel their strong spirit of exploration. Even in the virtual world, they have not stopped their pursuit of scientific truth. Poincare's voice was low and thoughtful: "Lu Shan, based on existing theories and calculations, we have come to a very interesting conclusion."
"The properties of topological semimetal materials can completely change our understanding of traditional chip manufacturing." Turing held a piece of paper with a calculation formula, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Yes, Poincare. We have completed the relevant theories and mathematical derivations, and all the logic is very smooth." "According to current estimates, topological semimetal materials far surpass traditional silicon-based materials in terms of ultra-high electron mobility, quantum effects, and stability in low-temperature environments." Lu Shan frowned and continued to ask: "But the problem is that although these theories and formulas are valid, we have no way to verify them in the laboratory." "Without experimental data to support it, all this can only remain on paper." Poincare sighed and said, “That’s right. Although everything is self-consistent in theory, without experimental support, we cannot confirm whether this can really be achieved.” "What we lack now is the experimental platform, the equipment and technology that can implement these theories." Turing's tone also became anxious: "Yes, the properties of topological semimetals are so ideal, but the conditions in the laboratory are really limited." "We can only stay at the level of theoretical calculation and cannot conduct actual verification." "So what you mean is that we must start the experiment as soon as possible?" Lu Shan's eyes became firm. Poincare and Turing nodded at the same time. “This is the only way out,” Poincare added. “If we don’t start the experiment in time, everything will just remain on paper.” Lu Shan took a deep breath, and the pressure in his heart increased instantly. He knew that once this breakthrough was achieved, it would no longer be just an academic discovery, but a revolution that would completely change the scientific and technological landscape. To achieve this, we must act quickly and not waste any more time. "I understand." Lu Shan nodded. "I will arrange the experiments as soon as possible and try to verify these theories as soon as possible." He understood that he had to seize the time after the Spring Festival to implement the latest results of the laboratory. During the Spring Festival holiday, Lu Shan finally got a short rest. Leaving the laboratory and returning to the real world, Lu Shan felt a long-lost warmth. For him, the Spring Festival means the warmth of home and the ties of family affection. When he returned to his hometown, his parents had already prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. On the table were his favorite braised pork and fish, and the house was filled with the smell of fireworks. "Son, you're finally back." Lin Yan smiled from ear to ear and stood at the kitchen door to greet him. "Mom!" Lu Shan walked over with a smile and offered to help in the kitchen. "Why haven't you been busy at the company these two days?" Lu Dehai asked with a smile. His son is now his only pride. What Lu Dehai was proud of was not how much money his son could make, but his persistence and pursuit of truth, which never changed. "The company is growing bigger and bigger, and everyone is very busy sorting out data recently. I'm going home to have a rest." Lu Shan replied with a faint smile on his face. He ate New Year's Eve dinner with his parents and chatted about family matters.
Dad and Mom don’t care how much money Lu Shan earned last year, but they care about Lu Shan’s lifelong affairs. After all, I'm old enough. Lin Yan kept chattering on and on, saying that one of his old friends' grandson was already in primary school, and that one of his old friends' eldest son was going to have a wedding after the New Year and was going to invite him to a banquet, etc. This topic also gave Lu Shan a headache. He ate his meal in silence without answering. Lu Dehai knew what his son was thinking: "Oh, well, let's not talk about this. Our son is so outstanding, he may not have to worry about finding a girlfriend." Lin Yan also knew that she had to stop there, so she nodded and said, "I think your high school classmate Shen Qian is pretty good. By the way, are you still in touch?" Lu Shan was thinking that he actually had an appointment with Shen Qian, Yang Chuan and Zhang Yong the day after tomorrow. "You have been busy with scientific research recently. Don't be too tired. Health is the most important." Lu Dehai interrupted again. "I know, Dad." On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Shan reunited with several old classmates. Shen Wei, Yang Chuan, Zhang Yong and Lu Shan met at the small square outside the high school, their old base. "Brother Shan!" My old classmate Zhang Yong has gained weight again, and the fat on his body is shaking when he walks. "And Fatty Zhang, how come you've gained weight again after not seeing you for a year?" When he was with his high school classmates, Lu Shan seemed to have returned to his carefree high school days. "I heard that you are doing chip research, which is quite impressive." Yang Chuan and the others knew something about Lu Shan, but they didn't know that Lu Shan was the president of Origin Group. "It's nothing, actually. I'm just researching some new materials." Lu Shan didn't want to talk much about the company when he was with his classmates. At this time, Lu Shan saw Shen Qian. (End of this chapter)
