"Old Tang, you come to observe the reaction of Alloy No. 7."
"Small Amount of Money, record the military morale of No. 13 combined with V8."
"Xiao Song, please record the experimental data in duplicate, no mistakes allowed!"
In front of each device, Ji Yuan was busy issuing commands in an orderly manner.
Behind him were the elites from the Military Industry engaged in Materials Science research, experts in materials from various research institutes.
Tanks, rockets, nuclear submarines, space shuttles—almost all industries that require the highest standards for materials had their involvement.
This time, Ji Yuan selected seventeen alloys from a list of seven hundred types of Military Industry alloys that roughly met the toughness and rigidity standards of 7nm lithography machine materials.
To create a brand new lithography machine with a new process and new standards, this process must be undergone; the margin of error must be extremely small.
In the field of Materials Science, there is a saying: "A slight error can lead to a huge deviation." Even the smallest error can cause significant discrepancies in experimental results.
After some thought, Ji Yuan circled a few more alloys on the list and said to his assistant, "Take these alloys as backup options."
The alloys he circled, while not as tough and rigid as those seventeen, had excellent photosensitivity and were resistant to wear.
On the first day, a temperature experiment was conducted under extremely high localized light polymerization conditions, resulting in the immediate elimination of three alloys.
On the second day, during the ductility test, two alloys were reduced to fragments.
On the third day, wear testing commenced... After dozens of trials, from Alloy One to Alloy Seventeen, all were declared failures without exception!
Despite being mentally prepared, when failure arrived as expected, everyone still couldn't help but feel disheartened.
Materials Science is a fundamental science, and the domestic shortcomings in this area are quite evident. Even though significant efforts have been made in recent years to catch up, the overall level remains low due to a long history of neglect.
"Don't be discouraged; this is just the beginning!" At a critical moment, Elder Ji accompanied a National Hero who had been engaged in nuclear submarine research for decades to encourage everyone: "If it were so easy to achieve results, wouldn't that mean we were incompetent before? We can approach the problem from a different angle. Although our dozens of experiments have failed, we have not gained nothing; at least the indicators for Alloy Eight are approaching the standards."
"But..." Song Zhiwen frowned and said with a defeated expression, "But Alloy Eight is already the best formulation; there is no possibility for further improvement."
Just as everyone fell into silence, the elderly man beside Elder Ji calmly remarked, "Perhaps we can broaden our thinking and try to explore other avenues to find materials with similar properties."
Many people felt confused and at a loss, but Ji Yuan, who had been deep in thought, suddenly had a bright idea!
That's right, the 7nm Lithography Machine he designed used entirely new standards and processes from start to finish. Why should he confine himself to conventional thinking and walk into a dead end?
The existing Lithography Machine materials used internationally are Alloy materials, but the new Lithography Machine doesn't necessarily have to be limited to Alloy materials.
Since the current metals have all failed and the known Alloy ratios around the world do not meet the material standards for the New-Type Lithography Machine, it is entirely possible to broaden our thinking and explore a wider range of fields to find a material that can replace the preset Alloy.
With this shift in perspective, various inspirations immediately surged forth!
"Right, who says it has to be metal?"
"We can follow the standards of the desired Alloy and broadly screen known materials around the world; we might just find alternative options!"
"Everyone think carefully about what materials are heat-resistant, meet toughness and rigidity standards, and have strong ductility and photosensitivity..."
Suddenly, a Chemical Process expert who heard these requirements jolted with excitement and swallowed hard, saying, "Why does this sound so much like carbon?"
"Carbon?" At first, many people were puzzled, but then they quickly became excited and began to dance with joy.
Although it is still uncertain whether the materials produced using carbon technology can meet the standards of the New-Type Lithography Machine, at least a direction has been found and new ideas have emerged.
This evokes a feeling akin to "after the mountains and rivers, doubts fade away; in the shadows of willows, another village appears." Only through countless failures can one truly appreciate the rarity of success.
There is a subtle intuition among everyone that they are getting closer to the truth. Ji Yuan's pupils constricted as he made a decisive decision and instructed Sun Hong, "Old Sun, go immediately to consult with the military district leaders and ask them to send us a portion of the entire series of carbon materials."
After speaking, he raised his head to look at the others who were watching him and smiled, saying, "Everyone get ready; we will start the experiment in fifteen minutes!"
At first, everyone was taken aback, but then they burst into hearty laughter, shaking off their earlier disappointment. In that moment, something called hope suddenly rose in everyone's hearts.
