393 Internet Discussion; Praise!
After Lin Fan and Ran Fei signed the contract, it was the weekend. Lin Fan lay at home for two days.
Monday morning.
As usual, Lin Fan looked at his phone out of habit.
[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,596,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]
Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system.
“Sign in!”
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 1,000,000 yuan.]
Lin Fan did not care about that at all. After breakfast, he drove the Cullinan to Jiangbei University.
After lying in bed for two days, he returned to the campus. He looked at the students walking and laughing, the students playing basketball on the field, and the students standing in the corner reading English aloud…
Lin Fan also became energetic.
At this moment, an extremely excited voice came from not far away.
“Lin Fan!”
Then, Professor Wang Jun and Professor Chen Haiyang from the Department of Computer Science walked over with the latest Science journal.
When they came in front of Lin Fan, they bowed and said respectfully, “Thank you, Lin Fan!”
This morning, when they saw the latest Science journal, they were so shocked that they could not control themselves.
This was because there was only one thesis title on the cover of this issue of Science!
Rather, there was only one thesis in the entire journal!
That was the Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines!
The first author of the thesis was Lin Fan.
Their names were on the second author!
This ‘thank you’ was not just because Lin Fan had placed their names as the second author.
The most important reason was that Lin Fan had invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine, allowing Hua Nation to finally take a solid step forward in the field of chips!
This step was their… or rather, it was the step that all Hua Nation computer scientists hoped to take.
Now, it had finally become reality!
Lin Fan waved his hand nonchalantly. “It’s just a small matter.”
Small matter?
That was right!
In Lin Fan’s eyes, it was just a small matter.
After all, it only took him about an hour and a half to easily obtain the carbon-based photolithographic machine.
Lin Fan did not chat with them and continued walking forward.
Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang looked at Lin Fan’s back as he walked away. While they praised him, their faces gradually revealed an unconcealable joy.
This was because their names were written on the paper The Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines!
Even if it was only as the second author, it was still a very impressive achievement!
If the history of the internet appeared in books in the future, their names might also appear!
…
When Lin Fan arrived at the classroom, the students were laughing and chatting as usual. They were extremely relaxed.
At this moment, a series of brisk footsteps sounded from outside the corridor.
Then, Counselor Sun Yaodong walked in with a smile.
He cleared his throat and said, “Everyone should know that chips have always been a headache for our country!
“Now, I want to tell you a piece of good news. This headache no longer exists!
“Because Lin Fan, from this class, has invented a carbon-based photolithographic machine. It can easily produce carbon-based chips that are 100 times more powerful than today’s high-end silicon-based chips!
“Let us give a warm round of applause to Student Lin Fan!”
The entire classroom fell silent.
Everyone was stunned.
Even though they were not computer science majors, they also knew that the mainstream chips in the world today were all silicon-based chips.
However, Lin Fan invented… a carbon-based chip that was easily 100 times more powerful than silicon-based chips.
How incredible was this?
It was actually the work of their classmate?
They were both in compulsory education, so why was he so outstanding?
Sun Yaodong saw that none of the students had any reaction, so he called out again, “Everyone, please applaud and congratulate Lin Fan!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and clapped.
Then, the entire classroom burst into thunderous applause.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Lin Fan, their faces filled with admiration.
In fact, it was not just the students who looked at Lin Fan with admiration.
Counselor Sun Yaodong was the same.
His face even had a touch of redness.
After a long time, the applause slowly stopped.
“The facts have proven that my judgment is very good!” Sun Yaodong said again. “Lin Fan, well done. You’ve brought glory to our class!”
Lin Fan’s lips twitched.
Was it not because he had solved Zhou’s Conjecture that he was accepted to study at Jiangbei University?
‘How is it related to your judgment?
‘Also, Counselor Sun, do you really only know how to praise people by saying ‘bringing glory’?’
After Sun Yaodong said a few words, he did not stay in the classroom for long.
After all, this was not his class.
After Sun Yaodong left, the classroom was filled with discussions.
“Brother Lin Fan, aren’t you too awesome? You actually invented a carbon-based photolithographic machine!”
“Is that chip really so powerful?”
“When can it be listed?”
…
However, the students did not discuss it for long before the old professor slowly walked in.
The old professor first used a pair of murky eyes that emitted a faint light to stay on Lin Fan for a few seconds before starting today’s lecture.
The old professor’s course was not very attractive to many people.
Now, everyone was even less interested.
Their thoughts were all on Lin Fan’s carbon-based photolithographic machine.
Some people quietly took out their phones and searched for relevant content on the internet.
At this moment, Song Yi, who was secretly looking at his phone, suddenly shouted, “F*ck!”
It was because he saw a piece of news—Dahua Group used 20% of the shares to obtain the general distribution rights of the carbon-based chip invented by Lin Fan. At the same time, Lin Fan also had 50% of the profits from the carbon-based chip.
Dahua Group was a giant company with a market value of more than a trillion yuan.
20% of the shares meant that Lin Fan had become a billionaire!
What a terrifying number!
How could Song Yi not scream?
However, how would he know that Lin Fan’s net worth was a few hundred billion?
His voice was like a stone thrown into a lake, completely breaking the silence.
Everyone, including the old professor, focused their attention on Song Yi.
Song Yi also noticed this and felt so guilty that he wanted to bury his head under the table.
Fortunately, the old professor did not make a fuss. He only glanced at Song Yi twice before continuing his lecture.
…
In fact, it was not just this piece of news.
The top search on Weibo was also about Lin Fan.
Daily: [Congratulations to Lin Fan of Jiangbei University for developing a carbon-based photolithographic machine!]
Almost the instant this post appeared, countless comments poured in like snowflakes.
Firmament: [The fewer words, the bigger the matter!]
Whirlpool: [God Lin Fan is awesome!]
Hehe, Did You Smile: [Lin Fan is awesome!]
Boom, Boom, Boom: [Can you explain what a carbon-based photolithographic machine is?]
Deep Sea: [Let me explain. Photolocation machines were used to produce chips. Before today, they were all silicon-based photolithographic machines used to produce silicon-based chips.
[As the name suggests, carbon-based photolithographic machines are used to produce carbon-based chips.
[And the carbon-based chip that God Lin Fan invented is a hundred times better than the highest-end silicon-based chip!]
As Long as You’re Happy: [F*ck! A hundred times? This is too awesome!]
Mr. Huang: [Wait, why do I feel that the name Lin Fan is a little familiar?]
Disheartened: [Familiar? You’re right! If you search for Lin Fan of Jiangbei University on the internet, you’ll find that he not only solved Zhou’s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, Hodge Conjecture, and other difficult mathematical problems.
[In addition, he invented the earthquake prediction device and the human islet recovery medicine.]
Yang Xiaozhong: [On the internet, I’m constantly reminded that I’m here to make up the numbers.]
Fate: [God Lin Fan, is f*cking awesome!]
…
Compared to the excitement in Hua Nation, the situation overseas was bleak.
Karen: [A carbon-based chip? Such a thing was actually invented!]
Jerry: [More importantly, the person who invented it is actually a young man from Hua Nation!]
Alexander: [A young man from Hua Nation? No! This must be fake news!]
JJ: [False news? Are you saying that Science published a fake paper for Hua Nation? Or could it be that Jon Durai, Molinston, Arnold, Abel, and the others, the top names in the field of computers and chips, are all faking it for Lin Fan? If this is the case, then it’ll be even scarier than Hua Nation manufacturing carbon-based chips!]
A Erba: [Is it that difficult to admit that others are strong? Mr. Lin Fan has solved many math problems, invented the earthquake prediction device, and even the human islet recovery medicine… He’s known as the existence with the strongest brain on Earth!]
…
Regarding these…
Lin Fan did not care at all.
Other than the students who gathered around to give him a thumbs up and praise him after class, he was still eating and sleeping as usual.
In the blink of an eye, the day’s classes were over.
At the request of Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and the other students, Lin Fan brought them to AC Clubhouse.
They ate top-grade abalone and sea cucumbers…
They drank XO and Romanée-Conti…
They enjoyed god-like massages…
All the students felt extremely comfortable.
This time, perhaps due to the short period of time, he only spent a total of 680,000 yuan.
At the same time, 68 red packets appeared in Lin Fan’s phone.
It was already 9:30 PM when they left AC Clubhouse.
Lin Fan drove the Cullinan and listened to the pleasant song from the Eton speaker as he sped toward the Coiling Dragon Villa.
Lin Fan had just arrived at the Coiling Dragon Villa when the phone in his pocket rang.
He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his sister, Lin Xiaoyao.
Hence, he pressed the answer button.
“Brother, are you the one who invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine?” As soon as the call connected, Lin Xiaoyao’s voice sounded.
Lin Fan rubbed his ears and said, “It’s me.”
“Then… Dahua Group used 20% of their shares to obtain the sole agency rights for your carbon-based chips? Oh right, there’s also a 50% profit?” Lin Xiaoyao asked again.
“Yes,” Lin Fan said casually.
“F*ck, awesome!” Lin Xiaoyao shouted. “Brother, I love you!”
Lin Fan almost choked on his own saliva. He reminded her, “Lil Yao, we’re siblings!”
