Limitless Dream

Han Seo-jin was absurd.

“No, why? ”

Don't they have an idea? Or a non-engineering executive who doesn't know anything about semiconductors?

“They want to place a project on another team. ”

“Why? There's no scientist in our country better than our professor. ”

“Simple logic. They are the Vice Chairman's side. ”

“…… Yes? ”

“It's called domestic politics. They're the ones who gave it to the owner of Jinseongsan. Executive Vice Chairman Lee Sin-na. ”

“Ah.”

Everything was cleared up, like a splash of cold water in your head.

He smiled bitterly.

“Who doesn't know that my professor is the best? They know better. But sometimes skills aren't the only thing. Especially when it comes to succession. ”

“But……. ”

“You know our lab has a research audit once every quarter, right? Companies have never interfered with the University research team in an academic project like this. You're pressuring my firm, Professor. Get your hands off me and stop it. ”

“But aren't you standing at the peak? ”

“Hey, I really don't want to do this. But how do they know that I'm your student advisor, that I'm a ghost, that I'm definitely a research audit team? I'm just trying to humiliate you. ”

Suddenly, I remembered the Jinsung Electronics people who were watching him. Was there a reason why the wallowing was so cold?

“So when the EPR research is done, they can't blame you anymore, right? ”

“Well, yeah. But that's not a project that ends one day. Spend at least three years of your time and money. ”

“Very well. Thank you. ”

“Oh, come on, let's go up. Everyone will be waiting.”

He hurried his butt into the big tin ashtray and into the store.

Seojin thought calmly.

Succession, and domestic politics. ’

Politics is where people come together. The same is true of the company: no, it is more intense than anywhere else because it is a complex place with livelihoods.

Han Seo-jin searched the internet.

Since both Lee and Yong-moong are celebrities, they were not difficult to find on the portal site.

They were the children of Chairman Jinseong Lee, Lee Seong-hyeon was the eldest daughter of his two-year-old sister. Lee was the second but only son of Lee Chang Yong who was recognized as the successor of the group.

“It's a family fight, after all. ”

Once you build it like that, it becomes ruined.

It was absurd that the 7 nm process, the evolution of that remarkable technology, should be captured by an inheritance quarrel in a family.

“It's not my concern……. But it's too much.”

Han Seo-jin clenched his fist.

Eventually, the faction's project was tougher than they thought.

After the study audit of the White Clan, the audit team left the headquarters again after less than three weeks.

“There's a story about spending research grants for personal use. ”

“What are you talking about! None of that! ”

Professor Park Hyo-San protested, but the man in his early 40s who introduced himself as Chief Audit Officer did not even have a tight eyebrow.

The five auditors immediately searched their expenditures and found evidence.

“What is the cost of this banquet here? You've spent more than once or twice. More than 100 times. ”

Hyo-san Park sighed. It was a sigh of excitement, not resignation.

“Look at the amount spent and the ceremony. Did I take the students to the tavern or did I buy you $100,000 worth of steak? Is it embezzlement to pay for dinner with the kids who live in the lab every time because of the project? Didn't the research fund itself give you money to run the lab? ”

“The funding for research should be purely for research alone. That's the terms of the arithmetic cooperation agreement. ”

“I purposely interpreted it to screw with you. ”

As Ahn Hong-chul asked me to listen, the eyes of the warden calmed down when I spoke to him aloud. He stared at Ahn Hong Cheol with a silent gaze. However, Ahn Hong-chul grimaced his head while listening to the music.

“Anyway, I'll report to headquarters. ”

“Whatever. By the way, just know this. If the project falls...... then sooner or later the president catches up with the group, we will no longer cooperate in mathematics at our university lab. ”

“The Nobel Prize finalist. If you say a word, the whole of the country's electronics is going to get up. ”

As Ahn Hong-chul chuckled again, the Chief of Audit slightly changed his eyes. I didn't know Park Hyo-San was such a great person. I thought you were just a regular engineering professor.

Park Hyo-San said with a stern face.

“As a powerless researcher, I've only been referring to this...... Don't insult the Holy College with corporate logic anymore. Not only me, but also our other rap professors have reached their limit. ”

“ ……. ”

The Chief of Audit did not answer. I just shot the professor with a broken look of pride.

“I have to go back today. ”

As they withdraw, the tension of the wrap loosens somewhat.

However, Professor Park Hyo-San's expression did not relax. He lets out a rush.

“You don't even know the half of the semiconductor! I didn't come back to Korea to get my ass kicked! ”

“You took away your tenure as a former Stanford professor. ”

Han Seo-jin quickly asked Kim Hyun-jin in a low voice.

“Stanford? Is that true? ”

“Yes, you're not in a domestic class, frankly. You took down Stanford for one mission, and I'm thrilled to have you humiliated. ”

Kim Hyun-jin also seemed to be exhausted.

Meanwhile, Taegyu Choi, the top leader of the lab, was working hard to soothe Professor Park Hyo-San's anger.

“Professor, calm down. I don't know what day or two they're getting into. ”

“As much as I should, what sacred discipline would bring to bear such filthy genealogical strife? ”

“Still, Vice President Yong-moong is on your side. ”

“You must be on our side. I've already begun to ask you to pay for your research. ”

“That's what Helban companies are like. You came to Korea after being prepared for that. ”

While picking up and receiving the house, Professor Park Hyo-San's anger subsided somewhat.

“If you get the chance, go to a foreign university. Don't stay here and look like me. ”

“As long as you're willing, you can desiccate as much as you want. The temperament of self-study secretly... ”

He said, "Dude, I can't hit a project with all this dirt because of you. I can't make you guys unemployed. ”

While listening to Professor Park Hyo-San's grumbling, Han Seo-jin carefully examined the project research data.

Focusing on your mind and using your insights, you see the way to the right truth. The best shortcut to reach under the conditions so far.

Improvement of photosensitive material corresponding to ultraviolet emissions.

This lab was studying one of its materials, EPR-2, but it was still not performing properly.

“Professor, by the way, what is the current unit price of EPR? ”

When Han Seo-jin asked a few questions, Professor Park Hyo-San sighed deeply.

“It's enormous. The price of a semiconductor unit would be 100 times higher if it were introduced to a 7nm process at this level. That's exactly the kind of problem we need to solve. ”

The 7nm process contains EPR-2, a photosensitive material. The current manufacturing cost of this material is much more expensive than gold of the same weight. The price is reflected in the semiconductor, which is naturally the final commodity.

The expected price difference is over 100 times.

It doesn't mean anything like this. However, the research aimed to reduce the production unit price of EPR.

“The problem with the molecular process of EPR is that it's too unstable, because it's over 99.9%, and it's only 0.1% complete. ”

“As a photosensitive material, it's absolutely perfect, but it's too complicated to synthesize. Maybe the synthesis was wrong in the first place? ”

“I need to find a way to improve.... ”

The researchers sighed deeply.

“I think my head is going to explode because of the project, but even the atmosphere inside Jinsung Electronics... …. ”

Han Seo-jin stroked his chin.

Seeing that, Professor Park Hyo-San quietly asked if he had noticed something.

“Seojin, do you have any good ideas? ”

“Now, the problem is that EPR is so bad at the time of production that we have to get rid of most of it, right? That's why the unit price has gone up so much that it's not competitive at all. ”

“That's right."

“I think I know a way to lower the bad rate. ”

“How? You only looked at the experimental data. ”

“I just read it and I think I know what the problem is. ”

“ ……. ”

The researchers, such as Tae Gyu Choi, kept their mouths shut as if they were amazed. Professor Park Hyo-San made a silly look at the moment, but again he asked if he wanted to catch a straw.

“What? Tell me, no matter how empty. ”

“Well, if it worked, would you name me co-researcher? ”

“Of course. Anyone who contributes to the research should be treated like a co-researcher, of course. ”

Park Hyo-San firmly said as if there was nothing to say.

“You're doing an EPR synthesizer at room temperature, aren't you? ”

“Yes, but why? You don't want to change the temperature, do you? ”

“That's true. ”

“What does temperature have to do with EPR synthesis? I've synthesized countless EPRs so far, but there's no indication of temperature involvement. ”

“Try cheating and changing the temperature as close to zero degrees as you can. ”

“ ……. ”

The disbelief that came to the researchers' faces increased even more.

Professor Park Hyo-San grimaced as he looked at her, and opened his mouth reluctantly.

“How can you be sure? ”

“It's hard to explain why, so why don't you try cheating? ”

“Did you feel that if you synthesized at 0 degrees, the molecular binding structure would be more stable? This is ridiculous. This is the first time in my life. ”

“So you're not gonna do it? ”

“We have to. We have to do something. ”

It's absurd, but even while repeating it, Professor Park Hyo-San went to prepare for the experiment. Even the sober researchers prepared synthetic preparations according to the instruction of the professor without speaking a word.

The cooling device was prepared and the material synthesizer and its ambient temperature was lowered to close to zero degrees. Ahn Hong-chul, who was watching the temperature graph fall rapidly, muttered.

“It's not even funnier to enforce something this ridiculous. ”

Everyone's heart was one, except Seojin.

Will synthesis change if you just turn the temperature down? Even if it were true, how would we know that based on research data so far?

‘This is nonsense. ’
