Chapter 639: We've got it back! (Two chapters combined!)
A complete lithography machine requires more than 100,000 parts and a large number of high-end technical personnel and equipment. Western countries not only imposed a technology blockade on China, but also prohibited the sale of parts that China lacked.
China lacks talent in this field, and everything has to be explored step by step. The country has also sent many talents abroad to study, but many of them have been suppressed and sanctioned by Western countries before they even returned. As a result, the path of lithography machines has not yet been achieved when Gu Yin passed away in his previous life.
Gu Yin felt a headache coming on when she saw the outdated equipment in the laboratory. If she told the school that she was planning to work on a lithography machine, the school might think she was just messing around. If she could have her own laboratory at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, at least it would have the most advanced equipment in the country and the top talent. If she needed any equipment, she could have her grandfather buy it from abroad. She had no shortage of money, and someone as versatile as her was very suitable for this kind of work. The problem now was how she could get into the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
You need a stepping stone to get in.
"001, please collect some information about prosthetic eyes for me."
Knowing Gu Yin's current predicament, 001 asked in confusion, "If you're going to get a prosthetic eye, you'll need chips, and even AI chips. These things also need to be made with lithography machines."
Gu Yin turned and went into the system library: "I'll buy one then, disassemble it, and then submit the data on making the lithography machine and some materials. I think I'm being too naive. Hundreds or thousands of top talents can't do it, how can I do it alone? Even with data support, it would require a lot of collaboration. I'm not an octopus, where would I get so many hands to operate it? I'd still need a team, but they're top talents, how could they possibly believe me? So I need to produce a convincing experimental result. Li Li's prosthetic eye is about to expire, once it's removed, I can replace it with the one I made!"
At this point, Gu Yin tied her hair up and took a deep breath: "Come on! Send me all the data! Help me prepare for the experiment too! I'm going to get started! It's all or nothing! Oh, and settle my points! I need to improve my intelligence and luck!"
001 nodded upon hearing this: "You've already used up all your previous points. Your last vaccine experiment was the first in the world, so you got 20 points, and the first in the country, so you got 10 points. Because of its huge contribution to humanity, you're getting a reward of 10,000 points. By the way, the previous 21 lottery draws were automatically converted into a set of aerospace material manufacturing data and information because you haven't used them for a long time. So you currently have 10,030 points, 4 Time Stones, lithography technology, EDA software design code, and a set of aerospace material manufacturing data and information. Since your attribute data is already top-tier in this world, the system suggests you check out the shop and buy some things you need."
Gu Yin: "...My 21 lottery draws, how come they're all gone? You didn't even tell me?"
001 blinked: "These are the rules that my master just updated last month. You have to accept them whether you like it or not. Don't look at me, I can't control it anyway. Besides, it's not normal that you had so many draws before. My data must be abnormal. But this is our problem, so my master didn't accept it for nothing and gave you a set of information as compensation."
Gu Yin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "Was this the reason you went back to level up before?"
001 nodded, showing no sign of surprise: "Yes."
Okay, it's just a bit of a shame. I should have used it all at once! What's the point of keeping it?
Gu Yin looked at the points: "Except for beauty, raise the other three to 500."
991 nodded, and the touchscreen version appeared.
"Bound object: Gu Yin"
Stamina: 330 + 170 (Solid enough to lift mountains and carry heavy loads!)
Intelligence: 360 + 140 (Exceptionally intelligent!)
Beautiful, 60, a pretty young woman (delicate and pretty!).
Luck: 220 +280 (Heaven's Favorite!)
9440 points remaining!
The moment the data was updated, Gu Yin's mind suddenly felt incredibly clear! Compared to before, it was as if a bubble had burst, and the whole world became clear! All the materials she had read and the knowledge she had learned before, she could review them all from beginning to end in a flash! At this moment, her brain was like a sophisticated computer!
Gu Yin snapped out of her daze and looked at the notes following the data: "Heaven's favorite? Daughter of Heaven? God's daughter? The kind with explosive luck?!"
001: "You can think of it that way."
Heavenly Dao: ...
Gu Yin sighed, "What am I going to do? With so many cheat abilities, I'm perfect for just giving up! Maybe I should just hand myself over to the government?"
001: "??? What the hell are you thinking? This is the Genius System! You want to slack off? Then I'm leaving?"
Gu Yin smiled and sat down in front of the monitor: "I was just kidding. Hurry up and send me the data. Don't waste my smart brain!"
After that, Gu Yin began a long period of learning and repeated experiments.
She was the busiest person during the entire winter break, leaving early in the morning and not returning until late at night after her family had gone to sleep, sometimes even staying in the lab.
When Gu Le and Wang Yanzhi returned from abroad, Gu Yin was engrossed in the ocean of knowledge and had no time for idle chatter.
Just as the start of the school term was approaching, Zhou Wansheng returned from Dabai Mountain.
Gu Yin's experiments in the system were coming to an end, and she finally had some free time.
"Grandpa, will you go back this time you're back?" Gu Yin asked Zhou Wansheng while eating dinner.
Zhou Wansheng shook his head: "There's no need to stay there forever. The mineral water extraction over there has been successful, and after a period of testing, it's ready to be sold on the market."
He signed a confidentiality agreement, and since everyone was present, this was all he could say.
After dinner, Gu Yin and Zhou Wansheng went to the study.
The old man looked at Gu Yin: "I heard that you've been busy in the lab from the third day of the Lunar New Year until yesterday."
Gu Yin nodded.
The old man sighed, "This time at Dabai Mountain, I witnessed the sheer madness with which those scientists worked. It was a bit frightening. If it weren't for their assistants, they would have stayed there without eating, drinking, or sleeping! They wouldn't give up even after dozens of failures. They went from being refined scholars to looking like beggars who hadn't bathed in years! They felt that the time it took to shave was enough to complete an experiment! Their dedication scared me! Every time I saw them like that, I automatically pictured you. I thought, what if my fair-skinned granddaughter turned out like that?! Some of them don't even know basic life skills and rely on their assistants. But when it comes to work, they are more diligent, more serious, and more hardworking than anyone else. They are truly a group of contradictory talents."
Gu Yin coughed lightly: "That's because they don't have time. When it comes to the crucial moment, none of that matters. Scientific research is the most important thing! But the main reason they're like that is the environment. They're all in the mountains, so naturally they do whatever is convenient for them. If they were in the Academy of Sciences, they would definitely still be refined scholars!"
Zhou Wansheng nodded: "When the leaders above noticed that I was in a bad mood during that period, they took the time to ask me about it. I told them my concerns, that once you enter the laboratory, people outside will have no way to contact you, and I can't arrange for someone to take care of you. They all laughed after hearing this and said that I don't need to worry. If you join the Academy of Sciences in the future, they will arrange for people to take care of your daily life, and the organization will also help you with your living arrangements. You don't need to worry, just do experiments."
"That's how my teacher is. It doesn't matter if he's not married, he has government pension, so he doesn't have to worry about anything and can just focus on his experiments."
Hearing Gu Yin say that, Zhou Wansheng raised an eyebrow: "You don't want to get married either?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I grew up in a loving family. Chu Yan's family atmosphere is just like ours. I really like this feeling of happiness. It makes me feel at ease doing everything I want to do. I want to get married because I love Chu Yan, just because of him as a person, not because of anything else. I believe that even if I don't want to get married, he will still be with me. But I want to give him enough security. You may not believe it, but Chu Yan is sometimes insecure when he is with me." Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh as she said this.
Zhou Wansheng snorted: "He can't compare to you, but compared to others, he's far superior! What's there to be insecure about! It's all a ploy to play the victim! Don't be fooled! That brat has a lot of tricks up his sleeve! This time in Dabai Mountain, I didn't even have to say a word; he negotiated several collaborations with the higher-ups himself!"
As he spoke, Zhou Wansheng couldn't help but laugh. Parents are happiest when their children are excellent.
"By the way, Grandpa, do you have any connections to get a lithography machine from a Western country?"
Zhou Wansheng frowned: "That thing is not easy to get. You want to use it?"
Gu Yin nodded: "I'd like to study it."
Zhou Wansheng nodded upon hearing this: "I'll try to think of a solution for you."
Gu Yin originally wanted Chu Yan to ask his teacher, but then she thought better of it. Even though his teacher was a big shot who was not under the control of the state, his nationality was still that of the other country. He would definitely not be willing to do something so important that was closely related to the country.
Gu Yin really gave Zhou Wansheng a tough time this time. He had found many clients and connections in Western countries, but as soon as they heard that he wanted to buy it and saw his nationality, they immediately rejected him. Those clients who helped him were warned.
In the end, it was Wu Ye who found out about this and paid for it himself, having someone from the National Academy of Sciences buy it for him. After buying it, it had to stay in the lab for almost a month before it was finally shipped to China.
The Zhou family's connections and wealth, combined with Wu Ye's connections and wealth, still had to go through many twists and turns before being sent back to China. One can imagine how difficult it is for countries that have been banned from purchasing these items to obtain them!
"Those people from Western countries are really despicable! They brought the equipment back, but they left the instruction manual behind! Our country's professionals contacted their classmates, and that's how they managed to label some of the information about this thing. At the bottom is the workbench system, next to it is the frame vibration damping system, a little higher is the leveling and focusing measurement system, then to the left is the automatic alignment system, to the right is the silicon wafer transmission system, this is the projection lens system, and this is... But they don't know how to use it or how to adjust the data. As you know, our country is just a small place, even if we're interested in these things, we don't have the capability. Your country is different; you've bought it before, so you should know how to use it. You can ask them."
Gu Yin looked at the ordinary, square-shaped thing in front of her, which looked like a cabinet. Who would have thought that the chips needed in various fields were made from it!
"It's alright! I'll ask my teacher for help later! I owe a lot to Mr. Wu Ye this time! Otherwise, it would have been really difficult for me to get one!" As for the instruction manual, she has it in her system space!
Wu Ye waved his hand and laughed, "I'm not working for free. Your grandfather paid me. And I'm not working for nothing either. I mainly have faith in you! I think you're destined for great things! I'm a capitalist, I won't do business at a loss! I might need your help in the future!"
