Chapter 1464 Beyond the Concept of "Future" (Happy New Year!!!)

The door of the laboratory was locked, and there was no movement inside for a long time, and no one knew if something happened inside.

For any experiment involving chemistry, no matter how perfect the protective measures are in the laboratory, the experimenter will not be able to withstand the death of the experimenter himself.

Just when a group of people anxiously began to discuss whether to break in, the closed door finally opened.

Looking at the faces standing at the door, Lu Zhou collected himself and was about to ask what was the matter, when Chairman Li Guangya took a step forward and spoke first.

"Academician Lu, are you finally done?"

When he said this, there was a temporary smile on his face.

Although he thought this guy was a bit strange, Lu Zhou nodded and said concisely.

"Well, sort of."

Li Guangya continued with a smile: "You have just returned to Jinling University and started doing experiments. Your love for science is really admirable!"

Although it was a compliment, the tone of this stick's reading really made people uncertain whether this guy was praising himself or not.

Lu Zhou looked at Chairman Li Guangya strangely, and said.

"Chairman Li is over the award, I just happen to have some things I care about, and I just want to find out."

"Where is the praise? Your love of science is simply a model for our Pan-Asian scholars!"

With a hearty smile, Chairman Li Guangya glanced at the door behind Lu Zhou, and then asked casually curiously, "The subject that you care about so much must be a very interesting proposition? Can you disclose it?"

This guy……

What do you want to do?

Do you want to tell the truth?

Although it is not a particularly sensitive thing, it may be very troublesome to explain.

Lu Zhou thought for a while in his heart, and suddenly noticed a pair of eyes full of curiosity.

Some of them are researchers from the Institute of Computational Materials, and some are experts in the field of materials such as Dean Zhou.

His heart was slightly touched, thinking that these juniors were so diligent and studious, Lu Zhou was too embarrassed to hide it, so he said.

"Actually, it's not something mysterious. It's just that after seeing how advanced the experimental equipment of this era is... I tried to demonstrate some of the brain holes I had about carbon materials before."

"For example, by modifying the chemical bond energy, one or more tunnels can be formed on the large π bond, which can exist stably and allow free electrons to pass through stably."

"A tunnel for free electrons to pass through stably?" A doctoral student was stunned for a moment, then asked subconsciously, "The big π bond can allow free electrons to pass through... What does this tunnel that allows free electrons pass through mean?"

This question was also asked by many scholars present at the same time.

The big π bond has the characteristics of some metal bonds and can allow free electrons to pass through... let alone the 22nd century, even if it was put 100 years ago, it was something that junior high school students knew.

After reading the confused expressions on the faces of the crowd, Lu Zhou thought for a moment before speaking.

"Let me give you a simple example... have you ever played with a puzzle?"

"Puzzle, jigsaw puzzle? This... I have been exposed to it since I was a child." Confused by this question, the doctoral student said in confusion, "Is there any problem?"

"Suppose you have a lot of hexagonal jigsaw puzzles, and each piece of the jigsaw puzzle corresponds to a large π bond of a carbon hexagon. Now we arrange these hexagons next to each other in a straight line, and the pairs of hexagons Corner line, is this the straight line... or the minimum width of the wire?"

Isn't this just a single-layer graphene nanoribbon?

What's the problem...

Although he always felt that there was something wrong with this metaphor, he couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while, the doctoral student nodded with a confused expression, and said.

"probably."

Lu Zhou smiled lightly.

"Then you are wrong."

"If I took a knife or something and scratched across the face of the puzzle, the line would be much smaller than the puzzle itself."

PhD:"???"

At the end of the speech, although he knew that most of the children didn't understand, Lu Zhou didn't say anything more. After all, if he expected to fully describe this theory, he might not have enough time for a whole class.

What's more, looking at the thoughtful expressions on the faces of Dean Zhou and several experts, he felt that someone should understand what he meant.

The inheritance of science itself is a process of casting a wide net. As long as there are one or two people who understand what he said and can make a little bit of progress in this direction, it is actually enough.

After finishing this topic, Lu Zhou looked at Chairman Li Guangya who had been waiting beside him for a long time, and asked.

"Didn't you go back to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration? Why... are you back again?"

In fact, he originally wanted to say "why are you so idle", but thinking that he and he hadn't gotten to know each other well enough to make jokes with Lao Li, he politely held back in the end.

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, Li Guangya coughed and said.

"I happened to have something to do here... so I came back temporarily. I happened to pass by Jinling University, so I wanted to visit you."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart.

Not to mention that the two met yesterday, how could they find Jinling University by such a coincidence.

This reason was made up too carelessly.

However, Lu Zhou didn't bother to worry about these minutiae issues, and said straight to the point.

"Let's be more direct, what's your business?"

Seeing that Lu Zhou asked this question, Li Guangya felt embarrassed and continued to go around in circles. She nodded and became serious.

"I'm very sorry to bother you for two consecutive days, but I do have something very important here that I must discuss with you."

Lu Zhou: "Is it convenient to say here?"

Li Guangya nodded.

Not wanting to waste time, Lu Zhou said simply.

"Okay then, let's go out and talk."

After all, Lu Zhou thanked Principal Cai and Dean Zhou for borrowing his laboratory, said goodbye to everyone, and left here with Li Guangya.

Seeing the two people walking away, Cai Mingrui secretly gave Dean Zhou a hand, and asked curiously.

"What is the meaning of what Academician Lu said just now? Why didn't I understand it?"

Although he was curious just now, he hadn't the nerve to ask. Now he finally has time to ask an expert's opinion.

Hearing Principal Cai's words, Dean Zhou finally recovered from his stupor.

After a wry smile, he spoke.

"Actually... I don't know much about it."

"You should talk!"

Unable to withstand the questioning of Principal Cai, a layman in materials science, Dean Zhou sighed, and tried to explain in terms that ordinary people can understand.

"To put it simply, in the past, we used silicon plates, graphene to make chips, and printed integrated circuits. We used visible materials to do engraving on a visible flat plate."

Speaking of this, Dean Zhou paused for a moment, and after considering his words, he continued.

"As for Professor Lu just now, he provided a... new way of thinking."

"Instead of printing integrated circuits with visible materials, we operate on invisible chemical bonds to form an abstract circuit that exists only in logic."

"For this abstract circuit, the wire is the macroscopic trajectory of free electrons moving on the surface of the material. When this trajectory can be maintained stably, or converged into a finite-width electron band in the sense of probability...then it has no The problem is the circuit."

"If this technology can really be realized, we can even directly engrave the circuits we need on the surface of graphene. Not only will the difficulty of printing integrated circuits be greatly reduced, but the integration of circuits will increase geometrically!"

Cai Mingrui looked at Dean Zhou blankly, and said with a moving expression, "...Is it so exaggerated?"

Although he doesn't understand materials science, he still understands the current plight of the electronics industry.

After a century of development, the space where carbon-based chips can be tapped is very narrow, but apart from carbon materials, they can't find a more suitable substitute than it.

After all, this is something that is restricted on the periodic table of elements...

Seeing the shocked expression on Principal Cai's face, Dean Zhou relaxed his tone slightly and said, "It's just a conjecture about the technical route, so don't take it too seriously. Can it be realized after hundreds of years of repeated demonstrations and attempts? I don't think so... After all, this concept is really too advanced."

"But to come up with such a concept..."

"I can only say that I am worthy of Academician Lu."

If the research on chips is compared to stacking blocks, then the focus of their research for decades or even hundreds of years has been how to cut the building blocks as small as possible, or use as few as possible and as light as possible to complete the building blocks. The tall and narrow building of modern technology.

However, the man's approach was different. It was as if when others were pondering the skills of stacking blocks, he took a seal carving knife and carved a building directly on the blocks.

There is no doubt that this is a mansion.

And definitely the kind that no one has seen before.

Regardless of whether this research idea can produce results, it has undoubtedly opened a new door for the future development direction of the electronics industry in the 22nd century...

Thinking of this, Dean Zhou couldn't help but write the words "convinced" on his face.

I used to hear people say, and I often read books, that that man had already stood at the pinnacle of human intelligence, but the previous him had never taken it seriously.

After all, history is history anyway, and the dead cannot be resurrected. If they are resurrected, they are just old antiques left behind by history, which will not benefit the future.

However, just today, he has fully understood what kind of terrifying power it is...
