Chapter 364 Industrial Crown
Since it was a special matter, the materials and personnel that got off the transport plane were quickly sent to the R&D center of the base to meet with Liu Chengdong and others.
Of course, on the way to the R&D center, Zou Ying specifically introduced to Lin Weiguo about the atomic-level precision lithography machine.
When Lin Weiguo learned that this incredible manufacturing technology was actually in the hands of one person, he opened his mouth wide with an incredible expression.
Because something like a lithography machine integrates the pinnacle of human manufacturing technology and is known as the crown of the semiconductor industry. It is not something that any company or country can independently develop.
Just like ASML, a company that currently owns the most advanced EUA lithography machines, it has more than 5,000 suppliers all over the world.
It is equivalent to the global crystallization developed by the joint efforts of human technology and wisdom. It is unrealistic to let a country, region or a single company make a lithography machine.
However, this almost unrealistic manufacturing technology seemed like a fantasy when it arrived at the base and was mastered by one person.
The shock and impact on worldview brought about by this directly dumbfounded Lin Weiguo and his group of scientific researchers who had been working in the semiconductor industry for half their lives.
"one person?"
“It’s still atomic-level precision!”
"Xiao Zou, are you sure you are not joking?" Lin Weiguo took a deep breath and felt his head was very dizzy.
"It is indeed a person, and his identity is somewhat special and cannot be announced to the public."
"After we meet him in person, I hope everyone will keep this secret to themselves." At this time Liu Chengdong stepped out and interjected.
The confidentiality work at the base has been taken to the limit. Things like confidentiality agreements may be effective in restraining ordinary people in the workplace, but for Lin Weiguo and his group of cutting-edge scientific researchers, the only way to get them to keep secrets is to rely on their own beliefs.
Of course, the reason why they can access the core secrets of the base so easily is also because the optoelectronics institute where they are located is itself a subordinate unit of the base.
"I see!"
"As long as the accuracy of the lithography machine can reach the atomic level, even if I see aliens, this old man of mine will keep this secret to myself !" Seeing that the two juniors around him looked very serious, Lin Weiguo nodded solemnly.
After all, semiconductor technology has held China back for too long. Even though it has since risen rapidly and invested massive amounts of money and manpower in it, its research and development level in cutting-edge chips is still as slow as a snail, with a huge gap between it and foreign giants.
The research and development precision achieved by the Institute of Optoelectronics is only 7 nanometers so far, and this is still laboratory precision. There is still a long way to go before mass production can be achieved.
Moving out the atomic-level precision lithography machine at this time was like seeing the dawn of day in the long night for Lin Weiguo and others.
…
After exchanging a few pleasantries outside the R&D center, everyone passed through layers of checkpoints with the supplies and entered a very secret independent experimental area underground.
This is an underground project specially opened up by the base, covering an area as large as a small town. It is surrounded by thick concrete walls, with large areas of embedded lighting and hidden ventilation shafts.
According to the staff who led the tour, this place was originally used to test cutting-edge spacecraft technology, and it is buried hundreds of meters below the ground. Even if it encounters a nuclear tactical attack, it can survive and is large enough to be used as a wartime shelter.
With the mentality of storing up grain and digging more holes, the flower-growing families built countless such underground fortifications in the last century, but not many of them were actually used.
It was also the first time for Chen Jue to enter such an underground fortification. He was guided by the staff to have a tour around it.
At this time, the sound of the gate opening was heard at the entrance passage, and boxes of large, tightly wrapped materials were brought in by transport trucks. Chen Jue then put away the idea of rushing around.
"Director Lin, this is the Comrade Chen Jue I mentioned." Liu Chengdong walked forward with his men and introduced them.
"Chen Jue?"
"That name sounds so familiar!"
"Yes...it's the author of the Ten Body-Building Techniques!" A group of researchers from the Institute of Optoelectronics were stunned at first, then they widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
Ever since the "Ten Exercises of Body Building" began to be widely promoted, the name Chen Jue has been on the hot search headlines more than once.
Before detailed information about Chen Jue himself was found, countless speculations about his identity were made on the Internet, but most of the conclusions were that the identity of "Chen Jue" might have been deliberately fabricated by the higher-ups.
Even the Institute of Optoelectronics, which was one of the first scientific research units to obtain the text of "Ten Body Tempering Styles", was skeptical about whether "Chen Jue" really existed.
Because the Ten Body Tempering Techniques is a bit too amazing!
Just ten exercise postures can steadily improve a person's physical fitness and thus trigger a qualitative change in physical fitness.
The scientific research masters who had just received the "Ten Body Building Styles" from the inside were even more shocked. They all sighed: "Who made up this Kung Fu? How come I have never heard of it before?"
In particular, it also contains detailed explanations of the human body left by Chen Jue, summarizing solutions and written expressions for many complex human problems. Even experts with profound medical attainments and human body research have to admit defeat.
Many ambiguous points about the human body were expressed by Chen Jue in a light-hearted manner, which in the eyes of these scientific research masters was just like the old saying "the great way is simple".
Ten seemingly simple postures are enough to change the fate of all mankind. It is no exaggeration to call it a magical skill.
Most of the uninformed researchers think that this magical skill might have been compiled by a large number of outstanding talents, experts, martial artists, and practitioners in the flower-growing family through brainstorming.
If this is not the case, it would be impossible to even think about promoting the life evolution of the entire human species by relying solely on one's own strength!
Just like today, the people at the Institute of Optoelectronics suddenly received a notice that an "individual" had mastered the manufacturing process of the atomic-level EU A lithography machine.
In the traditional thinking of these people, both of these are almost impossible for an individual to accomplish!
It was not until Chen Jue actually appeared in front of everyone that the shock was enough to stir up huge waves in the hearts of Lin Weiguo and his group.
…
"Comrade Chen Jue, I'll leave the matter of the lithography machine to you!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries and introducing each other's identities, Lin Weiguo and his group finally accepted this shocking reality and kept a low profile.
After all, the young man in front of him is a big shot who can promote the evolution of the entire human species just by throwing out a book of martial arts. We can no longer look at him with traditional eyes.
"Director Lin, you are too polite. It's just a small favor. I also want to learn some related technologies of semiconductor technology." Chen Jue nodded to the other party, and then turned his attention to the large boxes of supplies.
After verifying the functions of bird and insect seals and seals, Chen Jue also became very interested in cutting-edge human technologies such as semiconductors.
You should know that the traditional EUA lithography machine is about the size of a bus. The entire machine contains 100,000 parts and 2 kilometers of cables. Each machine requires nearly 40 containers to be shipped from the factory by companies such as ASML, and must be equipped with 3 cargo planes and 20 trucks for transportation.
What’s even more infuriating is that the seller doesn’t include shipping, and the buyer needs to transport the goods by themselves. The buyer is also responsible for all damages incurred during transportation!
If the base was not powerful enough to dispatch Kunpeng transport aircraft, which are larger than civil aviation transport aircraft, it would not be easy to transport so many manufacturing materials at one time.
However, when they heard Chen Jue say “it’s just a piece of cake”, scientific researchers like Lin Weiguo couldn’t help but reveal an awkward smile on their faces, and even felt a little strange in their hearts.
What does it mean to be a piece of cake?
This is the machine known as the crown of human industry!
If it could be made so easily, the flower growers wouldn't have been stuck in this dilemma for so many years.
What's more, seeing that Chen Jue seemed to have never come into contact with the EUA lithography machine, everyone's heart was hanging again.
Could it be that this trip will be in vain?
But why is this young man in front of me who looks unreliable so calm!
Why do people say Chen Jue looks unreliable?
It's because this guy has never even come into contact with the detailed structure of the lithography machine, and even the engineering drawings were already prepared by asking Lin Weiguo for them.
After looking down at the design drawings of the domestic lithography machine transmitted by Lin Weiguo and projected on the smart bracelet, Chen Jue walked slowly to the boxes of supplies.
Just as he was about to open one of the supply boxes, Lin Weiguo, who was following closely beside him, couldn't help but remind him: "Comrade Chen Jue, you want to open the box here?"
As he spoke, Lin Weiguo squatted down, reached out his hand and touched the ground, and a thin layer of dust appeared on his fingers.
Seeing this, Zou Ying and the others nearby also looked a little embarrassed and said apologetically, "Director Lin, the clean room in the base is already full. The only suitable place that can accommodate a photolithography machine is this basement."
"Besides, it was Comrade Chen Jue who asked for this place, so..."
Seeing Zou Ying looking embarrassed, Lin Weiguo and a group of scientific researchers behind him looked at each other.
You should know that the lithography machine is very picky about the operating environment and requires a high-standard clean room. Because no matter how small the dust or particles are, once they fall into the lithography machine, they will damage the operation of the machine.
The clean room in a wafer factory is about 10,000 times cleaner than our daily living environment. The air in the clean room needs to be constantly filtered and circulated, and employees entering it need to wear special work clothes.
Even the light source of the working environment of the lithography machine has requirements, and the working environment needs to be pure yellow light. This is because long-wavelength light will cause the photoresist to denature, making it impossible to achieve normal lithography.
Although the underground fortification where everyone is located can change the color of the light source, it cannot meet the dust-free conditions.
However, Chen Jue said calmly: "Don't worry, Director Lin, since I have chosen this place, I am sure I can build a photolithography machine."
After saying that, Chen Jue took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully, and the entire underground facility seemed to be swept by a force 7 or 8 gale, scaring everyone so much that they squinted their eyes.
At this time, the dust accumulated on the ground was blown up, and Chen Jue stretched out a finger in front of him. A crackling golden electric light flashed from his fingertips, accompanied by a powerful attraction. The dust in the sky began to gather towards Chen Jue's fingertips.
Such an incredible scene made Lin Weiguo and others stand there in shock, as if they had seen a ghost, and exclaimed: "This... is this electrostatic dust removal?"
"His body can actually discharge electricity!"
