Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Chapter 87 Angstrom-Scale Transmission Electron Microscopy

"Let's start with the miniature, high-efficiency and high-resolution electron microscope we need," He Xingzhou said. "While studying the lens, we also solve the optical problems of genetic engineering instruments."

Academician Pan Yan has already mentioned to him many times that without sophisticated genetic engineering equipment, it is impossible to detect the genetic information of the Zerg.

If it was a year ago, it was not easy to make this thing, because they have to face difficulties from materials, manufacturing level, design, and image algorithms.

In the past year, He Xingzhou's various technological reserves have solved three major problems.

materials, China has been able to manufacture top-level glass and related materials;

The manufacturing level and the processing level of the Longteng machine tool can be used to polish the lenses of micro-electron microscopes, and the lenses of space telescopes and nuclear fusion power generation devices can be polished to larger ones!

The image algorithm was also perfected by He Xingzhou not long ago.

The only problem is the design!

And He Xingzhou has just unlocked the structural diagrams of 100 optical instruments from the quantum optical brain. As long as he is given a certain amount of time, he will be able to complete it!

When He Xingzhou led the team to concentrate on the research of optoelectronic instruments, outsiders, the public was still paying attention to the game "God and Demon Wukong". Over 50 million copies sold!

Thirty percent of them are foreign players!

As a result, major game manufacturers have announced that they have purchased the authorization of the "Qiankun" physics engine and will produce related games.

There is also news that the seven countries will hold a forum to discuss development issues.

This forum has not yet started, and all parties seem to have started some new small actions.

...

Lamp Country, Oregon, Hillsboro, FEI.

It is a company that manufactures and markets a wide range of scientific instruments and provides world-class microscopy solutions to the global nanotechnology community.

The transmission electron microscope produced by it is one of the indispensable equipments for life science research.

"Mr. Taylor, we have paid 30% of the deposit in advance. When your company's products arrive, we will pay the remaining 70% in accordance with the regulations." The company's business department, a buyer from Huaxia Xu Bo is speaking fluent English with Taylor, a senior president of FEI.

Taylor smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. The transmission electron microscope you ordered has been fully manufactured. We will ship it immediately after the export review is approved!"

"I wish us a happy cooperation!" Xu Bo shook hands with him, and he was relieved.

He was the head of a medical technology research facility, and came here to purchase transmission electron microscopes for life science research.

Of course, this is only his superficial identity, Xu Bo's true identity is the third-level executor of the Xuanwu Project.

For Zerg research, the team encountered a very big obstacle in terms of equipment. Relevant high-end equipment cannot be bought, so they can only focus on related components.

These days, Xu Bo and other teams have not been able to buy products as they wished. For example, the manufacturer of this high-end transmission electron microscope, there are only three companies in the world that can produce it, and two of them are in Sakura Country.

They originally found a manufacturer of cherry blossoms at first, but the other party directly rejected their purchase demand.

In desperation, through various relationships, they paid a premium of 300%, and they reached an agreement with FEI to purchase a part of the transmission electron microscope that was not the most advanced.

Xu Bo didn't know that although he was very careful and disguised in the name of an ordinary buyer, his purchase list went to the intelligence center of the Dengguo.

"This Oriental has purchased a large number of high-end transmission electron microscopes, which are suspected to be used for life science research." The intelligence personnel reported the list.

"Life science?" Recently, they have been very sensitive to life science.

It is said that because of the discovery of many mutant creatures recently, the above has ordered it, so the trend of related technology must be fully monitored.

"They have been looking for related instruments and equipment, and this purchase of a transmission electron microscope should be one of them."

"Can't sell!" The reviewer put a red stamp of rejection at the stamp.

The subordinate is: "This is FEI's largest order this year. If they refuse, they must be very dissatisfied, and the order as a whole is in compliance."

The reviewer glared at him and scolded: "This kind of thing can't be sold no matter how much money it costs! As for the reason, do you need me to teach you? Just make an excuse and just get stuck."

"Yes." The subordinate understood instantly. The boss said so, which means that he can resist the pressure of FE company. As for excuses, just make up one.

Xu Bo got bad news before he returned to China.

"Mr. Xu, the thing we bought was stuck, and it was said that it involved a certain restriction technology..." After the entourage finished speaking, Xu Bo frowned.

"I finally bought it. If these instruments can't be shipped back, we will hold back the Xuanwu plan!" An entourage said anxiously.

"Yeah. These transmission electron microscopes can be used on at least dozens of high-end instruments, and absolutely must not go wrong with us!"

"But this is someone else's territory. They don't sell their stuff. What should we do?" someone asked.

Xu Bo said: "It's definitely not possible to rely on us alone. Contact FEI, if these things are released, they will also suffer huge losses. If FEI puts pressure on it, there may be a chance."

"Yes, it's not just us who are anxious. FEI is also facing huge losses, and they are more effective than us here."

Xu Bo immediately contacted Taylor, just as he thought, Taylor was also in a hurry.

Relevant departments suddenly issued a ban, and they had to suffer huge losses.

He assured: "Don't worry, our company has asked for a review, and it has not been clearly stated that this is more problematic than the order, and there is still a chance!"

Xu Bo and others are also working, but the resistance they encountered is too great, and there has been no progress.

...

Inside the institute, He Xingzhou is designing an angstrom-scale transmission electron microscope.

One angstrom is equal to one-tenth of a nanometer, ten minus ten square meters!

At present, most of the advanced transmission electron microscopes in the world are in the micrometer scale, and the most advanced ones can reach the sub-angstrom scale.

"Conventional optical microscopes cannot see ultrastructures down to 0.2 microns because the wavelength of visible light is too long. The wavelength of electron beams is much shorter than that of visible light, and the higher the voltage, the shorter the wavelength."

He Xingzhou looked at his computer. There were five drawings on it, which were divided into lighting system, imaging system, vacuum system, recording system, and power supply system.

Most of them can be handed over to the team for design. The most difficult part is the electronic lens part, which involves multiple systems.

"Vacuum electron gun, condenser lens, sample chamber, objective lens, diffractive mirror, intermediate mirror, projection mirror, phosphor screen and camera." He Xingzhou further subdivided the electron lens and began to design one by one.

"The electron gun is actually heating the filament. When the heating current passes, the filament will emit electrons. The arrow-shaped or point-shaped filament beam tip is more concentrated..."

This is a very brain-burning process, and the design of each structure requires a lot of thinking and calculation.

While he was working, Luo Zhenhai led people to conquer technologies such as microelectronics and microsensors to improve the related technologies of smart glasses; while Yan Rui's team focused on optical lens and optical sensor technology, including a multi-photon laser scanning technology The microscope technology is an improved version of He Xingzhou's original two-photon laser scanning microscope technology.

This microscope can be used in the life sciences to observe brain slices, embryos and organs.

Compared with the angstrom-level transmission electron microscope designed by He Xingzhou, the optical lens required for smart glasses is a small problem.

...

A month has passed quietly, and there is only one month left before the Seven Nations Forum.

In other countries, Xu Bo's team has exhausted all kinds of methods, formal channels, looking for relationships, but with little success.

The transmission electron microscope they purchased has been detained at customs and cannot be returned to China.

"Mr. Simon, you have been reviewing our procurement materials for a month." In the relevant units, Xu Bo argued, "We have submitted all the documents and materials you asked us to submit, and all procedures are legal and compliant, we require Return the goods we purchased immediately!"

Simon, the person in charge, looked at these oriental people with a cold expression, and he said, "It's not up to you to decide whether it's compliant or not, but it has to be checked by us!"

"We haven't finished the inspection yet, so please wait patiently."

He didn't care what Xu Bo and others said at all, it's only been a month, what's the hurry? At least it will take a few years!

"Mr. Simon, what you are doing has seriously damaged the interests of our FEI company!" Taylor was also very upset about this. "If it is not resolved within ten days, I will file a complaint with the industry management committee!"

For Taylor, Simon's attitude is much better.

He smiled and said: "President Taylor, don't worry, we are also actively testing and researching the problem, trying not to cause any loss to your company. Then you can come again in ten days, and we will hold a review meeting and make a decision."

Taylor snorted coldly: "I hope so!"

In a capitalist society, the energy of these capitalists cannot be underestimated. If they can't appease FEI, they will have to face huge pressure!

Nine days later, FEI.

Taylor met Simon before the review meeting.

Simon said, "These instruments cannot be sold to Shenzhou."

"What about our company's losses?" Taylor asked.

"Don't worry, although we can't sell it to Shenzhou, we have found other buyers for you. Recently, companies in Sakura and Koryo are planning to order a batch of transmission electron microscopes. We can act as a middleman for you to sell these products. In this way, you are compliant and you don’t have to suffer losses,” Simon said.

FEI's pressure was still effective, but their solution did not take Xu Bo and others into account.

"What about our company's reputation?" Taylor asked.

"Don't worry, this is impossible, no one can say anything. And I can tell you clearly that there will be no Oriental customers for this kind of instrument in the future." Simon said.

His words were meaningful, and Tyler probably understood.

After weighing the pros and cons, he agreed: "Okay, then do as you say!"

Simon smiled and said, "To meet tomorrow, President Taylor must know what to do."

...

The next day, Xu Bo and others saw Simon and Taylor again.

Compared with the anxiety and unease before, today's Xu Bo and others seem to have a calmer expression.

"Pretend, let's see how long you can pretend!" Simon chuckled inwardly. Now they rely on FEI company the most, and they are also of one mind. Their products will never be bought back in this life!

As soon as he saw Taylor, Xu Bo changed his attitude. He directly attacked Taylor and asked, "Mr. Taylor, why did you return our deposit again? This is a breach of the contract!"

"We haven't received the goods we ordered yet!"

Facing Xu Bo's questioning, Taylor was still acting, and he wondered: "It's such a pity."

"Mr. Xu, just now, Mr. Simon told me that this batch of goods could not be shipped because it violated relevant laws and regulations. Therefore, our company has refunded the deposit in order to avoid any loss to you."

Xu Bo said angrily: "You have caused us huge losses, not only the deposit, but also the cost of various related projects! According to the contract, you have to compensate us for our losses!"

"No no no!" Simon said, and he said with a smile: "Because this order violates the law, your contract is also invalid. We have already made a judgment."

"According to the regulations, FEI does not need to compensate you for any losses!"

If it was ten days ago, Xu Bo and the others would only be so angry that they would vomit blood! They spent so much hard work before and after, but the other party was completely unreasonable and didn't follow the rules, and their hard work was lost like a rogue!

Even FEI has changed its stance, disregarding its own company's reputation and pitting customers.

This kind of behavior is too light to describe shameless!

Simon wanted to see how these oriental people were furious but helpless, but he found that Xu Bo and others were not angry.

Xu Bo said: "We have been treated unfairly, we will not keep silent about this matter, the whole international community will know about it!"

Simon disagreed, it wasn't the first time they had done this, could there be anyone else who would help them speak out? Even if there is, they don't care, the Dengguo is the boss of the world now!

Xu Bo's second sentence left Taylor and Simon confused.

"Besides, I want to thank you all today," he said.

"Thank us?" Simon and Tyler thought to themselves, these Orientals, confused?

Xu Bo smiled and said: "Because just yesterday, I got news that our country's research institute has developed a transmission electron microscope at the angstrom level. I originally wanted to return this batch of goods, but I was worried about the breach of contract. Since you said The contract is void and the deposit is refunded, which is the best of both worlds for us!”

"You don't have to spend so much money on outdated equipment, and you don't have to be liable for breach of contract, so I have to say thank you to you all!"

Thanks to the helmsman who is not bad-tempered and lazy, adding more updates at night, as well as the rewards of book friends such as being a fake person, pavilion dawn, mantra of words, tonggu sakura, Rusedugad and so on.
