Chapter 676: Success! (Two chapters combined)
With many people, there is great strength. When there are many big shots, they can get things done without any regard for anything else. After Xie Tianhua brought the equipment over, they worked for three days straight and finally managed to get all the materials and equipment ready!
Even though they had eaten, drunk, and rested in between, they still looked much more haggard.
Gu Yin didn't go back to the hotel either; she stayed in the lab, trying to resolve any questions they had.
"Now that everything is finished, the most crucial moment has arrived. Let's take a break and adjust first, and then come back this afternoon to continue our efforts!" Academician Lu said, and everyone agreed.
Even the most stubborn Academician Lai couldn't keep up anymore; everyone's condition was indeed a bit poor, and if they didn't get some sleep soon, someone would definitely collapse! The tasks ahead would require just as much energy as the ones before! Rest was essential.
Xie Tianhua glanced at his watch and announced, "The food is on its way. After you finish eating, go back to your dorms to rest."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan walked over to Gu Yin and whispered, "Would you like to come back to the dorm with me to rest later?"
Gu Yin wasn't actually sleepy. Usually, when she was working in the lab by herself, she would only get a break once a week. Because her body had been modified, three days would be hard for an ordinary person, but she didn't feel anything.
So he shook his head and said, "I won't go. I'll just rest in the lab and see if there's anything else I need to add, and I also need to organize the reports for this afternoon's lab."
Xiang Nan nodded upon hearing this and did not insist, because the other person looked really energetic and did not seem to need rest.
After the meal, the lunchboxes were taken away. Gu Yin looked at everyone and saw that no one seemed to want to move at all!
"It's time to go back and rest! We still have tasks this afternoon!" Gu Yin clapped her hands and called out.
Academician Lai coughed lightly, got up and walked to the place next to the door where shoes were changed and coats were hung. He sat down on the soft chair and said, "I'll rest here. You can all go back now." He then closed his eyes.
Gu Yin: "..."
Academician Lu chuckled softly, moved his chair to the wall, leaned against it, closed his eyes, and said nothing.
Seeing this, everyone followed suit and lined up to rest there.
Gu Yin: "..."
Helpless, Xie Tianhua got up and went back to the center of the laboratory, brought back a few blankets, and covered each person with one.
Then he looked at Gu Yin: "Are you going to lean against that too?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I'm not sleepy. You go and rest. I'm going outside for a walk to get some fresh air and digest my food."
Seeing that she was still in good spirits, Xie Tianhua nodded and said, "I'll go lie down for a while. You can rest if you get sleepy."
Gu Yin left the laboratory, walked around the entrance twice, and then returned.
Seeing that everyone had fallen asleep, Gu Yin sat back down in her seat. After thinking for a moment, she got up and returned to the lab bench. She picked up the materials they had prepared and began cutting and polishing them. Once she was ready, she took the materials to the precision equipment and made some adjustments.
How did you know how to debug it?
Gu Yin, who was concentrating on operating the equipment, was startled by the sudden sound!
She turned around and saw everyone in the lab standing behind her, watching. She didn't know how long they had been standing there, but the one who spoke was Academician Lai.
Seeing that Gu Yin was startled, Academician Lai chuckled: "You're a little timid. You'll have to practice some more later."
Gu Yin sighed helplessly, “Why didn’t you make a sound? You startled me! I have a lithography machine in Beijing, just like the one next to it. I’ve disassembled and reassembled it several times, and the data has been adjusted many times. I have a pretty good grasp of the precision required for each material. I was sitting there with nothing to do, so I got up to adjust it.”
Everyone gasped!
Xie Tianhua exclaimed with envy and jealousy, "Qingda University gave it to you? They're being too good to you! There are only a handful of these in our country, you can count them on one hand! Aren't they incredibly generous?!" What am I supposed to do when they're more generous than me?!
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "It wasn't given by the school, it's mine. I had someone buy it from abroad myself."
The entire laboratory fell silent.
An individual buying it? Leaving aside connections and channels, just the money alone would be hundreds of millions! Note, that's US dollars! If a Chinese person were buying it, the price would be at least three times that!
Professor Tian swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "How did you earn so much money?" He wondered if he could earn some too; although he had enough funding, it wasn't very abundant.
Xie Tianhua explained for Gu Yin: "Her family is rich, extremely rich, even richer than the richest person in mainland China. She also made money from her own experiments, a lot of money. It's not surprising that she has the money to buy it. But Gu Yin, how did you manage to buy it? It's extremely difficult for us to buy it. Those people are too shrewd and restrict us at every turn!"
Gu Yin sighed: "My unit was sent over through another country and then through private channels. It was a very difficult journey, and it took a month or so to get it back."
Professor Tian smacked his lips: "My goodness, this is a gold nugget! No, it's a treasure trove!" Not only is his family rich, but he's also incredibly good at making money!
Seeing that the topic was getting further and further off track, Academician Lai rolled his eyes: "You can talk about your personal matters elsewhere later! We're talking about the experiment now!"
After saying that, he pushed the others aside, walked closer to the precision equipment, looked at it, and asked, "Where are we at? How is it? Are the new equipment and materials usable?"
Gu Yin nodded: "It works. I was just about to test it."
Seeing his interest, Gu Yin made way for him: "Why don't you give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Academician Lai nodded and said, "You record the data over here."
Everyone else watched as the two operated.
"The value is too low, so we'll increase it a bit more. But then it's too high, and the lithography machine will be damaged. It's close enough, so we'll increase it just a little bit more, and that's it!"
As soon as Gu Yin finished speaking, Academician Lai pressed the confirmation button, and the new material ran in the equipment for a while before stopping.
Academician Lai picked up the device with a serious expression, then walked to the lithography machine and looked at Gu Yin: "Come and install it together."
Gu Yin followed. Only Gu Yin, Academician Lai, and Academician Lu had studied this thing. Some of the others had never even seen it before, so in the end, it was just the three of them who operated it.
Academician Lai knew that Gu Yin was responsible for creating these things, so he didn't try to take the lead and let her take the lead while the two of them helped. By the time they saw Gu Yin drawing the chip diagrams herself, they were no longer surprised.
The labs at Harbin Institute of Technology have materials that can be used to make chips, so Gu Yin didn't need to find them herself. She drew up the design, put the chip into the lithography machine, added the materials, and once everything was ready, she started it up immediately.
The chip was etched in no time, but it was still being debugged. Academician Lai and Academician Lu were watching the computer screen, one observing and the other recording data.
"Wow, that's fast! Even faster than when it was at Harbin Engineering University! We really succeeded!" Academician Lai exclaimed excitedly.
Academician Lu was much more composed: "Let's wait and see the results once the chip is made and put into operation!"
After the chip was debugged, a series of processes were performed before it could be used.
Gu Yin only made a relatively simple chip this time, and it ran extremely fast on the computer. Everyone who saw the screen exclaimed in amazement!
"It really worked!!! In my lifetime!!"
"We'll never have to ask for help again!"
"My God! We've broken through the foreign technological blockade! We've mastered ultra-precision positioning and measurement technology ourselves! Gu Yin, you're a true hero! A hero to the country and the people!" Academician Lai's eyes reddened as he tightly grasped Gu Yin's hands, choking with emotion.
Gu Yin quickly reassured him, "Don't get excited, old man. What if you faint? This is great news! Report it quickly. After we report it, we can develop our own lithography machine, one that belongs to our country and is even better than those from abroad!"
Academician Lai nodded: "Yes, yes, you're right! I'll contact them right away! Old Lu, activate the highest level of security in your lab! Not even a fly can be let in!"
Academician Lu smiled and said, "I started it a few days ago, so don't worry!"
After saying that, he looked at Gu Yin with emotion and said, "You are truly a rare genius! Do you know how long this problem has been troubling us?! From the time we had lithography machines until now! It has been troubling us all this time! Starting today! This giant dragon that has been bound by chains! Can finally soar through the rain and fly into the sky! Hahaha!!"
Shortly after Academician Lai reported the incident, a group of military vehicles entered the Harbin University campus. Half an hour later, everything in the laboratory, including Gu Yin's computer and everyone else, was taken away.
Zhang Lei knew that the laboratory was special, so after learning that Gu Yin had been coming and going here, he and the captain waited outside, thinking that they would eventually run into someone and then give her some gifts to build a good relationship. But today, as soon as they arrived, they saw military vehicles coming in one after another.
Zhang Lei frowned: "Has something serious happened here?"
"It's very likely. We should wait in the pavilion here, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we're mistaken for bad elements."
The two waited for about half an hour before the military vehicle drove out.
Zhang Lei was counting the cars to see how many there were when he saw Gu Yin's face in the middle car.
He quickly grabbed the captain's arm: "Look, isn't that the girl?!"
The captain saw her too and nodded: "It's her! Did she do something wrong or what?"
The two exchanged a glance, and Zhang Lei swallowed hard: "Could they have gotten into trouble? In this kind of situation, if they really did something wrong, it must be something serious! And they came from the lab area, could they be... stealing experiments?"
The captain thought for a moment, then nodded seriously: "It can't be ruled out! Let's go, let's get out of here quickly! Don't get involved! Luckily we didn't give her any gifts! Otherwise, things would get complicated! This is too complicated. As for Yang Yan, forget about her. I'll go to the school team and talk to the new captain. Let's get Zhang Wanlong expelled from the school team! Otherwise, we'll all be in trouble!"
After they finished speaking, the two hurriedly went back to make arrangements.
Zhang Wanlong was still teaching physical education to the children at school when the new captain of the school basketball team came to him. The old captain had his name erased from the school team's history and asked him what had happened.
Completely bewildered, Zhang Wanlong said he didn't know either, but he still recounted his conflict with Zhang Lei and what happened at the hotel.
To be honest, he's already graduated, so it doesn't matter whether he's on the school team or not. He'll be joining the club eventually anyway. He's talked to the new captain about it, and the new captain was very interested and excited, which is why he had to remind him this time.
After hearing this, the new captain felt that the old captain and veteran team member Zhang Lei were not good people, so he turned around and told the two that he would not erase Zhang Wanlong's information, position and contributions. Seeing this, the two automatically asked to have their names erased.
The new captain: "......." After confirming several times, he took the documents over, and the two of them signed them, thus automatically leaving the school team. Although the school team was not very good, it had a lot of connections and resources. Generally, members could still enjoy the team's connections and resources for five years after graduation. Now that they had voluntarily withdrawn, the two of them would have no connection with the school team anymore.
Zhang Wanlong was speechless when he found out, but he didn't bother with them anymore.
If Gu Yin knew about this, she would be utterly speechless.
However, they had already arrived at another base, with all the car windows closed when they entered. She didn't know the exact address and didn't ask 001 to help her check. The car drove for about an hour before finally reaching their destination.
After getting off the bus, they boarded a special car and drove around until they arrived at an experimental base. Once inside, Gu Yin saw Zhao Chengguo and several other elderly people.
Gu Yin exclaimed in surprise, "Elder Zhao! What are you all doing here?"
Zhao Chengguo rolled his eyes: "You dismantled that thing in your lab. After I found out you went to Harbin University, I guessed you'd cause trouble! That's why I've been keeping an eye on it, so I got the news as soon as it was released. That's why a few of us old guys rushed over on a private jet! By the way, what did you do? You made such a big fuss! Even Beijing got the news. When we said we wanted to come, they tried to stop us, but they only agreed after they heard we were familiar with you!"
Hmph! Trying to steal talent from Beijing? Dream on!
Gu Yin touched her nose: "We solved the most difficult part of that thing."
Zhao Chengguo was puzzled, Zhao Chengguo's eyes widened, Zhao Chengguo frowned, Zhao Chengguo was furious!
"What, can't Beijing stop your intelligence anymore? Why did you come here!" Ugh, he's so infuriating!
Gu Yin said helplessly, "I've looked at all the materials over there, and they're really useless. I actually got all the materials I needed from Harbin Institute of Technology." She didn't want to go there.
Academician Lai scoffed, "Isn't it obvious that your schools are inferior to ours?"
Zhao Chengguo ignored the old man and instead clutched his chest, looking aggrieved, and said, "Materials? Don't our aerospace and aviation universities and Beijing University of Technology in Beijing have them too?! You didn't even ask, and you already know we don't have them! We're all among the Seven Sons of National Defense, how can you be so biased!"
Gu Yin felt guilty: "..." To be honest, she really hadn't thought about it. The main reason was that when she thought of this kind of special material, she only thought of the Military Academy and Harbin Institute of Technology. It was only after coming to Harbin Institute of Technology that she thought of the Seven Sons of National Defense and Harbin Engineering University. As for those in Beijing, she really hadn't thought of them. When she was looking for information before, she didn't consider those two universities. If you asked her why, she didn't know.
"Alright, alright! There's no point in saying any more. Where's the stuff? Let's take a look." Several elderly people nearby pulled Zhao Guocheng back, looking at the motionless car outside.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of footsteps approached.
Gu Yin looked over and saw a man in military uniform walk in. Judging from the epaulets on his shoulders, he was obviously a general. There were several other people behind him, none of whom Gu Yin recognized.
