Chapter 379 Amazing Equipment
Because there were many soldiers holding assault rifles standing around the truck. They were spread out and seemed to be on guard, but also seemed to prevent anyone from approaching.
In addition, in the center of the soldiers' guard, stood two people in military uniforms.
One of them is an old man with a kind face and a faint smile. The military rank on his shoulder shows that he is a general and has a distinguished status.
The middle-aged man next to him is a school-level officer, and his military rank is also not low.
There were quiet murmurs among the crowd.
“What’s going on? An admiral personally delivered two large pieces of equipment. What are these two pieces of equipment?”
“I don’t know, I can’t tell! "
"I can't tell, but I think this must be a very amazing device!"
"Nonsense! The equipment sent by the general is definitely not simple!"
"..."
There were more and more whispers. None of these people knew Song Haiqing's identity, nor what equipment he sent, nor what he was sending it for.
At this moment, a small voice said: "Look over there, Mr. Zheng is here!"
Everyone looked around and saw a military open-top jeep approaching. The person sitting in the driver's seat was none other than Zheng Xuebing!
Zheng Xuebing is the director of the 362 Military Factory and a professor who studies chip equipment. He has made a contribution to the development of domestic chip equipment.
In addition, he is also good at research in firearms research, ballistic missiles and other fields, so he is deeply respected by scientific researchers.
……
The jeep stopped in front of the cordon established by the guards.
Zheng Xuebing, who was in the passenger seat, looked surprised when he saw the photolithography machine on the large truck trailer.
He felt a realistic aura from the photolithography machine, which made him even more impatient to start verifying its authenticity.
So, with his heart beating faster, he quickly opened the windowless car door and got out of the car, walking quickly towards Song Haiqing and Gao Liang in front of him.
The security guards in charge did not stop him and allowed him to walk towards Song Haiqing, because they knew that he was the person the minister wanted to wait for.
Zheng Xuebing walked up to Song Haiqing, stood still and raised his hands to salute, his movements were standard and elegant.
Song Haiqing and Gao Liang also raised their hands in return.
Song Haiqing is more than ten years older than Zheng Xuebing. He put down his hand, looked at Zheng Xuebing and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"I came over as soon as I received the news. You should have called me before arriving." Zheng Xuebing responded with a smile.
"Haha." Song Haiqing waved his hand and went straight to the topic without saying more: "Go up and have a look first. I have prepared the ladder for you."
After that, Song Haiqing pointed to the ladder next to the trailer. It had been prepared for him and was waiting for him to go up and take a look first.
"Okay!" Zheng Xuebing responded. Then he turned around and walked quickly to the ladder prepared nearby.
He stepped on the ladder and started to climb up.
It's said to be a ladder, but it's actually steps, similar to the ones you use when getting on a train, so there's no danger.
Seeing his eager look, Song Haiqing couldn't help but smile.
The scientific researchers who were watching around were curious when they saw Zheng Xuebing trying to climb onto the trailer.
What is Mr. Zheng going to do? The researchers onlookers were puzzled.
……
These people did not know Song Haiqing's identity or what these two devices were.
Zheng Xuebing stood on the trailer, with the photolithography machine right in front of him.
Since the width of the lithography machine is more than five meters, and the trailer of this large truck is seven meters wide, and the lithography machine is placed in the middle, the distance from the lithography machine to the edge of the trailer is only half a meter. .
Of course, as long as you move carefully, there will be no problem.
Zheng Xuebing didn't care about the distance between his feet. He couldn't wait to walk forward along the length of the lithography machine, observing carefully as he walked!
Song Haiqing looked at the scene on the trailer with a smile on his face, feeling both nervous and full of expectation!
Of course, he has also considered Zheng Xuebing's safety.
With so many guards standing guard around the truck, even if Zheng Xuebing accidentally stepped on the ground, they could support him in time to ensure his safety.
As Zheng Xuebing walked, he carefully observed the lithography machine. The smile on his face never changed: "It really looks like the real thing from the outside!"
I just saw it for the first time. At that time, coupled with the close observation now, he felt that the photolithography machine seemed real, and a realistic feeling came over him!
Zheng Xuebing naturally hopes that this is a real photolithography machine.
Therefore, the more true it seemed, the more excited he felt!
Zheng Xuebing slowly moved to a screen next to the lithography machine and stopped to stare.
As an authoritative professor in the research and development of photolithography equipment, he easily identified the function of this screen.
This is a CNC screen specially used to monitor various values in the chip manufacturing process and detect whether there is damage.
"The simulation of this CNC screen is really high. I hope it's not just glass with black paper on it." He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but murmured to himself, fearing that it was just a clever disguise.
He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the screen, intending to verify the authenticity through touch.
After all, electronic displays have a completely different feel than ordinary glass.
At the touch, his brows relaxed instantly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“It’s a real display! It’s not a sticker!” he announced excitedly, which added to the authenticity of this photolithography machine.
He couldn't help but touch it again, but accidentally left messy fingerprints on the screen.
However, he didn't care and continued to move forward.
The lithography machine was more than thirty meters long. After he reached the end, he turned to the side and began to carefully inspect the other side.
He observed as he walked, not missing any detail, such as buttons, display screens, cover switches, etc., and confirmed them one by one, and they all appeared extremely real.
Especially the cover switch. When pressed, the cover actually slowly rises, revealing a workbench with a mechanical and technological feel inside, which is no different from a real photolithography machine.
However, after observing this, Zheng Xuebing frowned and felt a little doubt in his heart.
He always felt that this photolithography machine seemed to be missing something.
"What is missing?" He murmured to himself. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, "It's the main control computer! It is the core of the lithography machine!"
The main control computer is responsible for operating the lithography machine to manufacture chips and is the brain of the lithography machine.
Without it, the lithography machine cannot work properly.
He secretly murmured in his heart that maybe he didn't observe carefully enough and missed the location of the main control computer.
After all, he had never seen a photolithography machine from the Dutch ASM company, so how could he know where their main control computer was?
Thinking of this, he decided to check it carefully again.
If he still couldn't find the main control computer, he could only contact Wang Yang and ask.
Zheng Xuebing was both nervous and looking forward to it. He sincerely hoped that this was a real photolithography machine, not a model. As he walked back, he carefully examined the casing of the lithography machine, and at the same time gently groped with his hands, trying to find traces of the main control computer.
When the surrounding scientific researchers saw this scene, they all cast curious eyes and started talking in low voices. However, Song Haiqing didn't ask any more questions and just observed silently.
Just as Zheng Xuebing was about to walk past the CNC display screen, his hand suddenly touched an area the size of a mobile phone. This area seemed a bit abrupt, so he felt something in his heart and pressed hard.
I saw part of the photolithography machine slowly lowered, designed like an ancient city gate.
Zheng Xuebing was stunned, and then realized that this might be the location of the main control computer.
He quickly stepped aside to avoid being hit by the falling device.
After the device was completely put down, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was an inlaid keyboard and touchpad with many buttons on it.
More importantly, there is a display hidden inside!
“It’s really the main control computer!” He was ecstatic, and he was almost certain that this was a real lithography machine.
In order to confirm that there was nothing wrong, he decided to take the last step - start the lithography machine.
If it boots up and produces chips, then everything is settled.
He carefully closed the main control computer again, ensuring that it fit tightly with the lithography machine casing.
Then, he continued walking along the lithography machine and came to Song Haiqing.
Song Haiqing saw that he had finished the inspection and couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?"
"Minister, from the appearance, this photolithography machine is very realistic. I am 80% sure that it will It is a genuine one. Now, we only need to conduct a startup test to confirm its authenticity." Zheng Xuebing replied with a smile on his face.
"Okay! Let's start quickly!" Song Haiqing was also excited.
Soon after, the photolithography machine was installed in a large dust-free closed workshop.
Song Haiqing, Zheng Xuebing and Gao Liang were wearing dustproof suits and preparing for the final test.
After everything was ready, Song Haiqing turned to look at Zheng Xuebing: "Professor Zheng, you can start."
"Yes!" Zheng Xuebing responded. He walked to the main control computer of the lithography machine and pressed the familiar button.
I saw a small part being pressed, and a device slowly dropped down from below - an inlaid keyboard and touchpad.
He glanced and quickly found the start button.
Taking a deep breath, he reached out and pressed the decisive button.
After a beep sound, the signal light on the keyboard lit up.
At the same time, a roar came from inside the lithography machine, as if heralding the birth of new life.
Zheng Xuebing showed a satisfied smile on his face, while Song Haiqing and Gao Liang also looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with joy and expectation.
After a moment,
the main control computer screen in front of Zheng Xuebing slowly lit up, showing an empty command interface, waiting for the input of commands.
Not far away, a large display screen also quietly started up, staying in standby mode, waiting for the device to be activated.
This scene made Song Haiqing and the other three people suddenly startled, and their hearts were filled with panic.
Song Haiqing quickly recovered from the shock, with excitement on his face, and hurriedly urged Zheng Xuebing: "Professor Zheng, hurry up! Keep operating, don't stop!"
Zheng Xuebing turned his head and met his eyes, and instantly understood him. meaning.
He refocused on the computer in front of him, took a deep breath, calmed down the shock and excitement in his heart, and continued the operation in hand.
……
Not long after.
Zheng Xuebing wore white insulating gloves and held tweezers with a 7nm chip firmly clamped on them.
His face was full of surprise, shock, and a hint of disbelief.
Song Haiqing and Gao Liang were also immersed in this shock.
This chip is just the product of the lithography machine!
"Minister, this...this is really a lithography machine!" Zheng Xuebing's voice trembled, and his eyes were fixed on Song Haiqing. The tweezers in his hand shook slightly, revealing his inner excitement.
When Song Haiqing saw this, his heart tightened, and he quickly reminded: "Professor Zheng, be careful! Don't let this precious chip fall to the ground!"
Such worries are not unreasonable, because it is produced by the lithography machine The first chip naturally needs to be cherished.
Hearing this, Zheng Xuebing carefully placed the chip in the plastic insulating tray.
Then he turned to Song Haiqing and said with emotion: "Minister, you are right! When you mentioned this matter before, although I had hope, I was not completely sure."
Zheng Xuebing’s doubts are not surprising. After all, how can an Internet celebrity who sells goods purchase a lithography machine from ASM Company in the Netherlands?
Even those big manufacturers and countries find it difficult to do this!
However, now it has successfully produced a chip, proving its true identity.
"Haha." Song Haiqing chuckled upon hearing this.
Actually, he had doubts before. Wang Yang’s statement of obtaining photolithography machines through price competition was too bizarre.
But now it seems that what Wang Yang said was true. He did purchase the F22 fighter jet and photolithography machine at a price advantage!
"It seems that Wang Yang is really capable of obtaining things that are difficult for even the country to obtain at a price advantage!" Song Haiqing was filled with emotion, with an excited smile on his face.
"That's true!" Gao Liang quickly agreed, his heart also filled with shock.
They had discussed before that even if Wang Yang could purchase the F22 fighter jet, he would never be able to purchase a photolithography machine.
But now, the photolithography machine is in front of us, which shows that his price competition strategy is real and effective!
If not, how could he purchase the F22 fighter jet and the photolithography machines required for high-end chip production at the same time?
How to explain all this?
The authenticity of the lithography machine was verified, and Wang Yang's remarks were confirmed, so Song Haiqing and his party left.
The two precious photolithography machines were left at the 362 Military Factory. After all, such treasures should naturally be left to professionals.
On the way back to the National Academy of Sciences, Gao Liang’s mood was still hard to calm down.
It was hard for him to imagine that Wang Yang could purchase such expensive equipment through a price war!
You know, even if the state comes forward and purchases it at a normal or slightly higher price, it may not be successful.
This thought made him even more shocked, almost unbelievable.
He turned to look at Song Haiqing and said with emotion: "Minister, Wang Yang is such an amazing person!"
He expressed his admiration unabashedly.
Hearing this, Song Haiqing nodded slightly, with a kind and emotional smile on his face.
He knows that it is not easy to get the other party to sell at a significant price reduction.
How Wang Yang did it is simply unbelievable.
However, although he was curious, he did not delve into it and planned to find an opportunity to ask Wang Yang personally.
