Chapter 426 Combination Punch
"It's a foul! How can this happen? Impossible!"
ASML's chief technology officer stared at the structure in the live broadcast with red eyes and a look of madness on his face.
Impossible!
The extreme ultraviolet rays have increased tenfold!
How is it possible for a camera to pass through directly?!
When they painstakingly designed it, the reflective structure they found was already considered a genius idea.
All difficulties have been overcome, starting from the light source, to the lens, the bearing stability of the reflection, and then to the consideration of the vacuum environment.
Everything is done to the best of our ability to achieve the original design goals!
Even with the final 2% energy utilization rate, we finally managed to complete the design and successfully produced it!
Previously, I was truly proud of the "enemy with the world" video that I filmed in collaboration with all parts manufacturers, all chip manufacturers, and all wafer fabs.
I really feel proud!
But all the efforts, all the hard work, seemed to have become a joke in front of the lens that could allow extreme ultraviolet rays to pass through.
What the hell!
Given a lens like this, why would I bother to create such a complicated structure?
Just change the DUV skin!
By then, the energy loss will be small, the power requirement for the light source will not be high, and the design of the light source will be much simpler!
It can even be said that it doesn't matter if the power of the light source is very different. You can just adjust it multiple times through the lens. There's nothing to be afraid of when the energy loss is so small!
Break all laws with one force!
Bricks fly with great force!
Is this the magic?
That's the magic!!!
Knowing Umbrella's temperament, ASML knew it was a foregone conclusion when they brought it up openly.
The chief technology officer lost his balance and collapsed onto his chair, unable to recover for a long time.
The masterpiece they had worked so hard on for many years turned out to be a joke.
High energy consumption, low yield rate, difficult assembly, large space, with all the shortcomings, how can we compete with others?
Yes, in theory, the limits of both sides can reach the physical upper limit of silicon-based chips, both can reach 1nm.
But their production efficiency and cost are far better than ours!
With the collapse of ASML, other semiconductor manufacturers are also feeling dignified.
No matter how the outside world reacted, Red Queen continued to explain.
"However, the manufacturing of this kind of lens is very troublesome, and we have many places that need it, so this time the lithography machine is only used by ourselves, but we can undertake chip foundry. Interested chip factories can contact us."
My goodness, this not only puts ASML to death, but also other wafer factories at the same time!
In fact, even chip manufacturers like Intel have mixed feelings.
They have just completed the design of a 5nm chip.
Although EDA software has been enhanced, it is still not possible to complete 2nm all at once!
and……
Looking at the parameters of Umbrella's 'White Queen 3.0', they also knew that Umbrella's chip architecture was stronger than theirs!
The comprehensive attributes are excellent!
Just take out "White Queen 3.0", I'm afraid it can be used on PC in addition to mobile devices!
No, in other words, the performance parameters of this chip are universal.
It also has excellent color image and light processing, multi-process operation, and low power consumption! Great computing power!
The new architecture alone is not that scary, and the 2nm process alone is not that scary.
But when you add them together, it's really scary!
Then use the mobile phone as a processing terminal to link their holographic bracelet and even the Red Queen + system.
My goodness, this is going to sweep all other mobile phone, PC, and chip manufacturers out in one go!
The key is that it takes time for a company to catch up.
And during this period of time, how big can Umbrella become? !
Another sanctions?
Another restriction?
But this time they openly said they were willing to do the OEM, so what excuses do they need to come up with? !
It really becomes a rag , wiping back and forth?
It can be said that this press conference has just begun, but it has already made everyone unable to sleep!
No wonder their DUV lithography machine does not use the immersion method, it is originally prepared to do it in one step!
When they were designing DUV, they had already found the follow-up direction.
This is the right way, inherited from the past!
And then...
"Umbrella's 'Tracker' electric car has the function of linking with Red Queen+. The onboard facilities can be perfectly connected with our mobile phones and bracelets. It has a built-in holographic projection system and an intelligent driving system..."
It is a pure black sedan with a streamlined appearance, perfect aerodynamic design, and even the windows are integrated in pure black.
After zooming in, it is even difficult to distinguish between the car windows and the car body.
After the car door is opened, the interior space is spacious and comfortable, and the wheels are of "roller type".
The appearance of internal holographic projection and the clarity of the front glass, the appearance and interior design alone are simply amazing!
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.5 seconds.
Top-notch collision resistance, top-notch safety factor, top-notch appearance, top-notch interior, top-notch battery life, and top-notch charging speed.
All parameters are ranked first in the industry!
Directly rub the performance of the SX electric car to the ground.
"Next, the actual test video..."
Then Red Queen raised her hand to switch the projection screen. On the test track, an electric car was running with the momentum of the F1 formula.
The grip, acceleration, and the dust kicked up give people a sense of elegance and smoothness.
And although it has the image of a sports car, the adjustable chassis gives the vehicle itself quite good off-road capabilities.
He rushed directly from the runway into the sand and ran all the way.
It seems that sand and dust have no wear and tear effect on vehicles!
There is no need to worry about the tires sinking.
The multi-axis roller tire design can even move sideways on the spot and turn 180 degrees on the spot.
Then there are the auxiliary functions of intelligent driving, obstacle recognition, danger warning, and "automatic navigation"!
"Through the calculation of the vehicle terminal, the autonomous driving will synchronize the navigation system and the vehicle radar imaging system for comprehensive processing. With our new chip, the computing power is sufficient. Users who have used the world company's navigation system should understand that even mountain cities can be perfectly intelligently identified. However, we cannot demonstrate this on site, but as our own satellites are launched in the future, the relevant auxiliary functions will only become stronger and stronger."
After that, it’s the price.
The lowest version price before tax is US$69,000!
Yes, the price alone is not cheap, but if you take into account factors such as vehicle performance and appearance, compared to those luxury cars, this is a very reasonable price!
The top configuration costs US$200,000 and can also be customized.
At the same time, because the production capacity of the factory in Mexico is insufficient, it hopes to build a wholly-owned super factory in the East.
A "simple" press conference revealed Umbrella's terrifying ambitions.
The key is that they really have such strength!
Although it is only an official product announcement, it has not yet been officially launched on the market.
Especially with regard to automobiles, each country has its own testing agencies and access methods as protection measures.
But there is no doubt that facing Umbrella's pure technical suppression, there is absolutely no way to resist except for official coercive measures!
As the Eastern market is the world's largest automobile market, the problem was solved after Umbrella expressed its desire to build a super factory there!
Although we hope for full funding, there is absolutely no reason to refuse the introduction of such super technology!
The investment in electric vehicles by the East is huge , but due to the presence of a large number of companies cheating on subsidies, it has not yet achieved its original goal.
It is naturally feasible to introduce Umbrella’s factory now!
As long as it has the support of this largest automobile market, Umbrella's electric vehicles will be difficult to stop.
What’s more, there have been a series of combined attacks on mobile phones, chips, and lithography machines.
Now we have launched a new electric vehicle product that can obviously achieve intelligent linkage.
After these things were launched simultaneously, the U.S. authorities, who had just lifted sanctions on Umbrella as a gesture of "goodwill", were completely stunned.
What should I do? I feel like this guy is going to destroy many important companies!
But most of the sanctions have just been lifted, are they coming again now?
It's really going to become a rag!
It's impossible for Umbrella to have made these breakthroughs at the same time just now. It's obvious that they have had this kind of technology reserves for a long time.
But he had remained silent before, and even when he was sanctioned, he did not bring it up.
They just let spies from all sides bring out the news that their factory might make electric cars.
Just wait there like that.
As a result, they had just been forced to 'lift' the sanctions, but now they took them all out. The 'coincidence' of timing was definitely intentional!
I just want to trample on Da Piaoliang's prestige again and again!
Yes, this will offend Da Piaoliang and the investors behind them, and make them lose face.
but……
It seems that Umbrella has already been offended, and the offense was severe.
Even if Umbrella shows goodwill, it seems to be of no use as long as the key technology of "magic power" is not taken out!
Are they really lifting sanctions out of goodwill? It’s just because the sanctions are too ineffective! Just a way out!
In that case, Umbrella will not waste such an opportunity and will help you light a fire under the ladder.
We have already reached an opposing position.
If I'm offended, then I'm offended!
Yes, Umbrella did it on purpose.
This is an open conspiracy, it depends on how you respond to it.
Should you allow these products from Umbrella to have an impact and directly kill off several key local companies, or should you swallow your pride and continue to impose sanctions and restrictions?
No matter which choice you make, you will lose money, it’s just a matter of how much you lose.
It all depends on the game between the damaged capitals behind the scenes, to see which side suffers greater losses and which side has greater energy.
They are a group of people who all have their own interests. After provoking this kind of conflict, they have to fight among themselves just to reach a consensus...
