Chapter 575: The Knife of Light
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and during these days, Richard barely went out and was busy in the Garden of Eden.
This is a bad thing.
In a two-story wooden building.
Wizard Wan An listened to the latest report of his student Maas, frowned deeply, and asked with some annoyance: "So, in the past few days, he has not moved anything except for a time when he went out to look for special gems?"
"Yes. Maas replied honestly.
"Hell. Wan An scolded in a low voice, pacing around the room, pacing, while muttering to himself, "No, why is it suddenly like this......?"
Wan An thought of something, looked at Maas with wide eyes, and asked seriously: "By the way, could it be that you were exposed and detected by the other party?"
"This—" Maas hesitated, then shook his head vigorously, "No, teacher, I was very careful every time to make sure I didn't find out to him." ”
"What the hell is going on then?" shouted Wan An, in a terrible mood.
Maas cowered in the corner, not knowing how to answer, touched his hungry and shriveled stomach, quietly took a piece of fish meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and tried to chew it quietly. Seeing Wan An looking at him, he quickly stopped chewing and said loudly: "Teacher, I really don't know." ”
Wan An glanced at Maas and ordered: "Okay, if you don't know, let me out, continue to stare at that kid, if there is any situation, report to me immediately." ”
"Oh. Although Maas was reluctant, he reluctantly answered and walked out the door.
......
A few days later, inside the Garden of Eden, the main laboratory.
An oddly shaped instrument was erected, and at first glance, it looked like a cracked bronze bell.
After Richard adjusted the instrument, he took out the metal piece he had made. He made a total of nine pieces of metal ten centimeters square, which were spliced together horizontally and vertically to form a complete mask.
The 30-centimeter-square mask was stuck in the middle of the instrument with a "pop", about a meter from the ground, and locked it hard, and Richard took out another 1-centimeter-square negative—it was 1/900 percent of the mask's area.
Carefully placing this tiny, photoresist-coated negative on the lowest part of the instrument, it was also stuck and locked with a "pop", and Richard began to adjust the lenses located in various parts of the instrument.
The function of the lens is to adjust the propagation of light to ensure that the light of the light source can shine on the entire mask, shrink after passing through the mask, and then irradiate it on the tiny negative according to a specific proportion to complete the lithography.
It was a delicate job, and Richard kept adjusting the test, and it took him a long time to complete it.
Then Richard took a deep breath, pressed his hands on either side of the instrument, and pressed them together. Listening to the sound of "click", the instrument originally looked like a bronze bell that was cracked from the side, but now the bronze bell is closed.
Richard pressed a button on the outside of the "brass bell", and a "buzzing" sound sounded, and began to extract air from the inside, ensuring that the inside of the instrument was in a vacuum.
With this done, Richard checked again, made sure there was nothing wrong, and reached out and pressed a button on the very top of the instrument, which was the switch for the light source.
"Smack!"
The light source is turned on, and the first chip lithography of the current medieval-like wizarding world has officially begun!
Looking through the transparent panels of certain parts of the instrument, you can see that the interior looks like a little brighter, but in fact there is no change, just an illusion.
This is because the light source does not emit visible light.
Generally speaking, normal human eyes can perceive light wavelengths between 400~760nm, and a few more sensitive people can expand the range to 380~780nm.
Now the light source releases deep ultraviolet light, with a wavelength of 200nm~350nm, which is completely out of the visible range and cannot be seen by the naked eye.
This deep ultraviolet light, which has a special energy reaction, is widely used on the earth for air sterilization in water purification plants, hospitals, and dust-free workshops of factories. Now that the inside of the instrument is vacuumed, the deep ultraviolet light eliminates the need for reaction with air and can be used directly for lithography.
In fact, if you use extreme ultraviolet light between 10nm and 14nm for lithography, the effect is even better, which is the fifth generation of lithography machine technology on earth. However, considering the difficulty of implementation, and the fact that it is only an attempt to achieve it at present, Richard did not make it so complicated, and was ready to upgrade the technology little by little after achieving certain results.
Under Richard's gaze, the lithography machine runs steadily, and the invisible light beams pass through the mask and lens, concentrating on the one-centimeter-square negative.
There is no interlacing, no confusion, and the invisible light still strictly follows the physical theorem of linear propagation, projecting the pattern of the mask onto the substrate with great accuracy, and reacting with the photoresist applied on the surface.
At this moment, the invisible light makes up the most precise knife - the carving knife of light.
They are in nanometer or even smaller lengths as standard units, silently swiping back and forth in the photoresist, so that the projected pattern is fixed little by little, and shaped little by little.
There was no sound, not even any movement, no brilliance – not visible, not audible. But the changes did happen, and in the end, as expected, the negatives became qualified chips.
There was no prayer to the gods, no blessing from the ancestors, no unknowable mystical power descending, the only thing that really existed was technology - the power of technology.
......
For a long time......
"Ding, ding, ding!"
A green indicator light on the lithography instrument flashed to indicate that the lithography was completed, and Richard carefully opened the instrument, took out the chip, and then put it in another assembled instrument on the side, and began to dip it with the developer solution to make the pattern on the photoresist fully visible, and then proceeded with a series of subsequent treatments.
Eventually, Richard was given a standard spell chip.
The thin, scarlet-sized spell chip was placed on Richard's fingertips and carefully observed. In a moment's thought, an extremely subtle free energy element poured out from the magic source and injected into the spell chip.
"Buzz!"
Richard clearly felt that the chip had obvious mana fluctuations and reverberations, and it was obviously in play. However, because there were too few free energy elements injected, the effect disappeared into the invisible before it had time to be displayed.
Richard's eyes lit up, and the reaction of the spell chip fully showed that his previous plans, conjectures, and experiments were right, and the "gauntlet of the world" could be made with the help of chip technology on the earth.
Then the next step is ...... I continued to make it.
This chip on the fingertip, the magic patterns involved, are only about one-tenth of the overall number of magic patterns of the "Gloves of Destruction", if you really want to make the "Gloves of Destruction", then you need nine.
Nine!
