Mathematics and physics are not separated, many excellent physicists are also top mathematicians, although Sheldon is a theoretical physicist, but the mathematical calculation ability is far above ordinary mathematicians.

Mathematics can provide the most favorable support for physics research, but not all physicists have super mathematical computing ability.

It's like Leonard discovered a physical theory in a flash of inspiration, if it weren't for Sheldon's super math calculations, he would have either not been able to finish the paper at all, or someone else would have published it first because of the long delay.

And obviously it was the first thing I thought of, but because of the slow movement, I was taken by others first, this kind of pain is very torturous, a person may only have this golden inspiration in his life, and if he loses it, he will never have it again, this kind of tragedy is not uncommon in the history of science.

Leonard also supported Sheldon to work in the Star Group together, and when his friends were gone, Amy also felt some crises, so he persuaded them together, although Sheldon refused to change, but when the change was unstoppable, he would be obedient; What's more, he also understands that he probably won't have good friends other than Leonard and the others.

It's just that Raj stayed in California alone, but Howard promised to give him an internal recommendation when he joined.

"Thank you, Dr. Andy."

This group of scientists from the United States was personally received by Andy, the current CEO of the United States, when they joined the company, and they were shaking hands one by one, and Penny was the first to shake hands.

"Welcome, Mrs. Leonard."

"Welcome, Dr. Leonard."

"Welcome, Dr. Sheldon."

"Welcome, Dr. Amy."

"Welcome, Dr. Leslie."

"Welcome, Dr. **."

"Welcome, Dr. S**."

……

"Welcome, Dr. Bernadette."

"Welcome, Mr. Howard."

After a flurry of Dr. salutations, it ends with Mr. Howard Warnowitz.

This time, there are more than 50 scientists from various industries from the United States, including theoretical physics, experimental physics, biology, medicine, mathematics, etc., in addition to a master's degree in engineering who has been in space.

After the welcome dinner, everyone returned to their apartment building, and this group of talents were all family, and all the arranged villas were stacked villas.

This type of housing is an extension of the stacked townhouse, and it is also a bit like an improvement of the duplex type, which is between the villa and the apartment, and is composed of multi-storey villa-style duplex houses stacked on top of each other.

Located in a residential area of the Star Park, it is composed of two floors of villas stacked on top of each unit, with only seven floors in one building and an internal fitness activity center on the ground floor; Compared with townhouses, this kind of studio can be richer in independent shapes, and at the same time, it overcomes the shortcomings of narrow and deep townhouses to a certain extent.

Penny Leonard, Sheldon Amy, and Bernie Howard were placed in the same building because of their request.

Sheldon insisted on taking the stairs upstairs, he lived on the top floor, and Amy accompanied him, but Penny and Leonard's family took the elevator.

"Amy, I'll go to Penny's house in a moment."

Howard, who had just climbed to the third floor, came out of the elevator and said hello at this time, he was carrying some prepared supper, he didn't eat much at the dinner, most of the time he was listening to various speeches, and he had to prepare his own speeches.

……

Ever since Leonard had a disagreement with Sheldon, Sheldon has been locked in a cold war with him, which is normal, and it is something that happens often for all sorts of reasons.

Every time he walked out of the room and saw Leonard, Sheldon put his hands on his temples and glared at him with round eyes.

Because now that Leonard doesn't need to drive him, the opportunity for the two to reconcile is a little late.

“no！ Sheldon, be mature, there's no way you can blow my head off with your mind! ”

Leonard rolled his eyes, stood in front of the elevator, and said weakly.

"Enough! Sheldon, don't make a fuss! ”

Sheldon's movements were still the same, and he said stupidly: "Even if you can't blow your head, then you can get an aneurysm!" ”

“ouch！”

Penny pulled Leonard into the elevator, and she didn't want the two of them to end up in the news like they did when they were still in California.

When the elevator reached the fourth floor, the Howard Bonnies came in, and Howard said, "You really him off this time, why didn't you agree to be my neighbor?" ”

Leonard said that he was helpless, this time he changed jobs, the benefits given to them by the Star Group were very good, and everyone was very satisfied, but he still felt a little sorry for Sheldon at the beginning, although he finally persuaded Sheldon to come over.

"Thankfully, Sheldon isn't superhuman." Howard continued at this time: "Otherwise, you have to be careful, with Sheldon's IQ, you will definitely become the arrogant captain and blast your head with his arrogant power!" ”

“no！ If my superpower is the power of arrogance, then I should be called Dr. Pride! ”

At this time, Sheldon, who came down the stairs, happened to follow them, and he taunted with hatred, he was most proud of his intelligence, and it happened that Marvel launched the "Doctor Strange" series not long ago, and put forward the concept of "Supreme Mage", as an otaku who loves comics, he naturally has a deep memory, and has already arranged a role for himself.

"Sheldon, you're not the smartest person in the world, can you stop being so arrogant?"

"Like I explained, I don't need someone dumber than me to recognize me."

“oh！ no！ ”

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Penny came out to fight, and she knew that if she didn't fight, she would probably suffer at that time, because neither Sheldon Amy nor his wife were fuel-efficient lamps.

"Don't talk about it, I've only been on the job for a few days, and I don't want to be late now."

After pulling Leonard, Penny walked towards the shuttle, she had been taking a training class the other day, this was actually her first day on the job, and it was still a sales-type job, and the salary was lower than Leonard's, but the development prospects were better.

Between these friends, when they are angry, they can't wait to die together, but the anger also disappears quickly, in the past, Sheldon had to admit his mistakes because of his request for Leonard, but now in Huaguo, working in the starry sky, he can be arrogant for a long time.

Unless it's time to go to the city to shop, however, with Sheldon's otaku characteristics, this time can be a long time, because the starry sky park has everything to meet Sheldon's life needs.

There are driverless smart shuttles to work, and there are also intelligent driverless shuttles to all parts of the park, which is enough to satisfy Sheldon.

……

According to statistics, the accident rate of automobiles is the highest among all kinds of transportation, and passenger car accidents are often seen in the media when they introduce the characteristics of easy to cause mass deaths and injuries.

But in fact, the quality of qualified buses is safer, because they are slow and heavy, the chassis is low, will not be rear-ended into the bottom of the truck, and it is not easy to roll over and roll on a few circles, as long as the driver holds the steering wheel, most of the time the passenger car is not afraid of accidents.

Even if there are "often" casualties due to burning and falling into the water, it is because there are too many passengers to escape through the car door; These two risks are not a problem for private motorhomes with most of the seats removed and an additional escape door planned.

There are naturally some RVs in the bus system, but most of them are newly equipped outdoor emergency command vehicles by public security, fire and earthquake resistance departments, due to a large amount of space and investment occupied by various professional equipment, the living environment is actually just average.

Therefore, the general department will prepare a superior to go to the countryside to inspect and visit the necessary artifact - Toyota Coaster, in addition to not having too many beds, the comfort is not inferior to those luxury RVs, which is also a pillar of Toyota's profits have always ranked in the world.

Now the small car project of Star Group has received a good response, but the large bus project has been hindered by some obstacles, mainly some problems in smart chips.

Now all departments of the group are rushing for the group's new chip project, and of course, there are many places that want to invest.

Although it is not the era of 10 or 20 years ago, as long as it is not those backward, excessive, polluting and energy-intensive projects, they can still be treated with courtesy.

If there were more workers, more investment, and higher international influence, it would be appropriate to attract a frenzied scramble from several cities.

For example, Hon Hai Group's new factory project has been scrambled by many places because of the large number of employees; The semiconductor manufacturing industry, which can effectively drive regional housing prices with billions of dollars and a large number of high-quality workers, will only be more aggressive.

Therefore, Datang Electronics has just made a decision to invest in a new chip factory based on the development of advanced equipment with Xingkong, and immediately people from all walks of life will come over, call, send emails, visit door-to-door, put facts and reason to pull relations and subsidies, and all means are out just to pull this factory to their own territory.

Although compared with the high investment in professional chip factories, the current announced production capacity and total investment of the new chip factory are not high, but the total investment is definitely more than one billion; After all, any piece of equipment in the semiconductor industry is worth hundreds of millions of yuan, not to mention that this is a project in which Star Group also participates, and there will definitely be no shortage of supporting factories in the future.

For example, the data center project that no one cared about at the beginning, after the introduction of Tiannan Province, the province's originally rich electricity was not enough for a long time, and a number of hydropower projects were launched one after another, and now the investment in a data center is more than one billion yuan, and the radiation industrial chain is not less than this project, the annual electricity bill is not a few, and more jobs are provided.

The data center in Longxi Province is also not less than this amount of investment, in addition to wind power, solar energy and other projects; Basically, at first, it was a project that no one would pay attention to, and no one knew that the amount of investment would be so large one after another.

Not to mention the semiconductor project, Jiangnan Province relied on its geographical advantages, after winning the first project of the Star Datang Joint Venture, the export volume of just one "Zhoutian" communication chip exceeded 10 billion yuan.

This time, Xingkong and Datang are cooperating in the field of lithography machines, in addition to SMIC's expert support.

Even if there is limited cooperation between various major countries, the United States still restricts ASML from selling to SCO member states for products such as EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, and other advanced supporting equipment is roughly the same, resulting in Star Group now wants to spend money and has nowhere to spend, and now whether it is the latest electronic equipment, nuclear fusion projects and space elevator projects, the requirements for chips are getting higher and higher.

Even if Intel has more advanced technology, because of the interests of the capitalists, it is now preferring to slowly squeeze the toothpaste, which forces the Star Group to upgrade its own products.

The working capacity of the lithography machine determines the process of the chip, and as the "knife" that "engraves" the chip circuit, the wavelength of the etching light source seriously affects its processing ability.

At present, the mainstream lithography machine in the world generally uses ultraviolet light sources with a wavelength of 193 nanometers, which can process silicon wafers of 65, 45 or even up to 14 nanometers; Because a lens with a better refractive index is used, and the silicon wafer is immersed in an immersion liquid with a high refractive index, it is called an immersion lithography system.

The latest generation of lithography machines use extreme ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 135 nanometers as the working light source, which directly advances the semiconductor process to below 10 nanometers, the only problem is that the smaller the wavelength, the greater the energy of the photon, and the corresponding penetration and ionization are more obvious, such as useful and harmful X-rays are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of less than 10 nanometers.

The current situation is that the light source has been created, but the supporting mask and coating materials have not been able to keep up due to the limitation of capital interests, resulting in the next generation of lithography has never been practical; In fact, the relevant groups of Dongying, the United States, and the European Union have the next generation of technology, but now because of the interests of capital, they are still gradually upgrading their products and earning a lot of profits due to upgrading.

Therefore, Intel, for example, claimed to enter 10 nanometers as early as a few years ago, but it still seems to be silent, and not long ago Intel launched the Ivybridge processor, which finally improved the manufacturing process from 32 nanometers to 22 nanometers.

At this time, the Loongson series cooperated by Datang Electronics and Star Group has been prepared to be released in the second half of the year, and it is already a 16nm process; It was announced that the process would be advanced to 10nm within two years.

16nm has actually exhausted the current technical reserves of Datang Electronics, and the existing lithography machine does not support further development, at most it reaches 14nm.

In this case, the new generation of lithography machine must not be imported, which requires the laboratory of the star sky to cooperate in many aspects to jointly develop.

Therefore, we are now building a new plant, but it is difficult to say when it will be put into operation.

However, it doesn't matter to the local level, whether it can develop and grow into a first-class chip factory in the future, as long as the investment is implemented, it will be smooth.

Regardless of the success of such a project, it can play a role in exercising the team, after all, the construction of high-standard dust-free workshops and the installation of high-precision equipment are still rare, especially if the person who pays for it is not himself, it is even more worth fighting for.

Of course, if the Star Group also learns from some enterprises, asks the local government to provide large supporting facilities, and even asks for loans to advance funds to provide only one set of brands, but finally happily plays real estate, it will definitely not work.

"This is Dr. Leslie."

"This is Dr. Leonard."

Yang Yi listened to the introduction, shook hands with a smile one by one, and then asked with a smile: "Are the two husband and wife?" ”

“no！ We used to ...... Later......"

Reinard defended incoherently, Yang Yi nodded amusedly, most scientists actually have a narrow social circle, and most of the general couples are peers or students and teachers.
