Since receiving Professor Wu's email, although people are still holding meetings here in Beijing, Lu Zhou's mind has already flown to Jinling, which is 108,000 miles away.

On the day of the end of the conference, Lu Zhou, who had just delivered a closing speech at the closing ceremony, rushed to the capital airport and left Beijing by plane to return to Jinling.

As soon as the plane landed, Lu Zhou, who had left the airport, didn't even bother to put his luggage home, so without saying a word, he asked Wang Peng to drive him directly to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

Rushing to the carbon-based semiconductor laboratory, Professor Wu Tianqun was busy with his students and researchers in front of an experimental equipment when Lu Zhou had just stepped through the door with his front feet.

When he saw Lu Zhou appearing at the door, Professor Wu was obviously stunned for a second, and said in surprise.

"Academician Lu? You've ...... Coming back from Shangjing? ”

If he remembers correctly, he saw this big guy on the live broadcast of the news network in the morning......

"As soon as I arrived in Jinling, I couldn't wait to come over," Lu Zhou said succinctly, Lu Zhou glanced at the experimental equipment behind him, and then asked, "I didn't disturb your experiment, did I?" ”

"No, no," Professor Wu Tianqun shook his head and said with a smile, "The experiment has just been completed, and we are collecting experimental data, so you don't have much impact at this time." ”

"It's good that it didn't disturb your experiment," Lu Zhou nodded, and then asked impatiently, "What about the carbon-based chip?" I'm here for it. ”

Hearing Lu Zhou ask about this matter, Professor Wu Tianqun said with a smile on his face.

"Tan Jing's chip is in the laboratory next to it, for the sake of safety, I locked it in the sample cabinet, please come with me!"

After instructing his students on the research work, Professor Wu Tianqun took Lu Zhou out of the door and came to the laboratory next to him.

Walking to a sample cabinet that looked like a safe, Professor Wu skillfully took out the key and unlocked the cabinet, then put on gloves and carefully took out a palm-sized brown glassware from the sample cabinet.

"Because it's a carbon material, this chip is more sensitive to strong light sources, so I'll keep it in it, do you want to see it?"

After staring at the brown glassware for a while, looking at the chip the size of a thumbnail lying quietly in the card slot in the center of the container, Lu Zhou opened his mouth and said, "You don't need to open it and look at it, you and I can talk about it briefly,"

"Okay!"

After clearing his throat, Professor Wu Tianqun introduced the technical details of this chip to Lu Zhou in concise words.

As the name suggests, the carbon-based chip is naturally a processor that inherits the carbon-based transistor, and according to Professor Wu Tianqun's description, this small carbon-based chip contains 100,000 carbon nanotube transistors.

Although there is still a big gap between this number and the silicon-based chips that start to hundreds of millions, this chip has been able to perform some not very complex mathematical operations like ordinary computer chips.

After learning the news, Lu Zhou's heart suddenly felt excited.

Samples of carbon-based chips have been born!

What does this mean?

This means that Professor Wu Tianqun's research team has successfully achieved a leap breakthrough from carbon-based transistors to carbon-based chips!

This means that the first strategic goal of Huaguo's fifth-largest semiconductor industry group has seen the dawn of victory!

“…… At present, we have been able to achieve the 150N process of the chip according to the chip design scheme that has been made public, although there is still a certain gap from the mature commercial chip, but it has shown far superiority over traditional silicon-based chips in terms of computing speed, energy consumption and heating. ”

After a pause, Professor Wu Tianqun suppressed the excitement in his voice and continued.

"And the most important thing is that this chip adopts a 'chemical deposition + etching' preparation method similar to that of SG-1 superconducting materials at room temperature, and we will no longer be technically limited by the accuracy of lithography technology. And in theory, there is a lot of room for improvement in this approach! We're currently looking at ways to further shrink the chip process and increase the number of transistors per square millimeter. ”

"As long as we can increase the number of transistors per square millimeter to more than 30 million and increase the process technology to more than 10N, this chip can be commercialized! And the superiority of this carbon-based chip in its own physical properties will be incomparable to silicon-based chips in any case! ”

Lu Zhou: "What about the difficulty of mass production? ”

Professor Wu Tianqun: "Won't the production be higher than that of silicon-based chips!" As for the cost, although it is a little more expensive, it is also acceptable considering the cost performance! ”

Lu Zhou couldn't help but praise: "Well done!" Professor Wu, you have made a great achievement! ”

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, Professor Wu Tianqun smiled embarrassedly.

"What's the matter, if it weren't for your two papers published in Nature that provided a theoretical basis for this technical route, as well as the SG-1 room-temperature superconducting material of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, I would not have been able to make any carbon-based transistors, let alone conquer the threshold of carbon-based chips."

"Okay, it's just the two of us here, don't blow each other so commercially," Lu Zhou smiled, then changed his serious expression and continued, "Regarding these research results, please write two reports, one does not need to bring specific technical details, just talk about the results." The other one has to trouble you to spend more time, in addition to not following the format of the paper, basically follow the pattern of the paper, write down the technical details that should be written, and will use it when registering a patent.

After listening to Lu Zhou's instructions, Professor Wu nodded seriously and said.

"Okay, I'll get ready in a minute, when do you need it?"

Lu Zhou: "This is not in a hurry, just give it to me within a week, or if you are too busy, you can delay a few days, or your experiment is the main thing." ”

Professor Wu smiled and said, "It's okay, this thing won't delay the experiment, I promise you'll definitely see it within a week." ”

Lu Zhou nodded, "Then please, I won't disturb your work here." ”

The chip has been seen, and the things that should be explained have also been explained, Lu Zhou was about to leave the laboratory, but at this time, he suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and looked at Professor Wu Tianqun and said.

"By the way, after a while, the central government will set up an expert group on the feasibility of topological quantum computing technology, and I will recommend your name."

Although it was just an understatement, listening to Professor Wu Tianqun's ears, it set off a storm in his heart.

The technical feasibility demonstration expert group established by the central government!

No matter what is being demonstrated, if the first two words are brought to the central government, it must be a big bull at or above the academician level to cross this threshold, and at least an academic leader in a certain field has the right to speak.

He is just a mere professor, at most with the title of Changjiang Scholar, and under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible to enter such an expert group to do the technical feasibility demonstration of the key technologies that can affect the national strategic direction.

Taking a deep breath and looking at Lu Zhou standing at the door, Professor Wu said in a grateful tone.

"Thank you for the promotion!"

Although he is much older than him, it always feels strange to say this, but this is indeed the feeling in his heart at this moment.

Being able to join such an expert group, whether from the perspective of broadening his network or from the perspective of academic qualifications themselves, will be of great help to his future academic path!

Looking at Professor Wu, who was moved, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"Don't thank me."

"What's more, this is not my promotion, but you have earned it through your own efforts and dedication."

"If you have to thank you, thank you for all the sweat you have paid."
