Chapter 164: The photolithography machine so close at hand? Big dog owners, are you interested in unmanned bombers?
While Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing were busy preparing for the 'diplomatic dinner' in the evening.
same day.
This side of Eagle Sauce, the small town of Livermore earlier.
Just got to work early in the morning.
Lu Ze still stayed in the familiar corner with Lucy, sitting on the sofa that had been divided into 'exclusive territories' by the two of them.
Looking at the little guy next to him, he is holding his iPhone and playing the recently released and very popular 'Angry Birds'.
Watching Lucy having a lot of fun, she looked like an 'internet addicted girl' who was addicted to games.
Lu Ze curled his lips and thought to himself: 'That's it? ’
If this allows her to play various mobile games in later generations, shouldn’t she be sent directly to Professor Yang for ‘Dian Yi Dian’?
However, this requires waiting for Daxia to come up with a new generation of smartphones that are no different in performance from the Apple 6 before they can have room to play these mobile games.
Without hardware support, any mobile game masterpiece is simply a castle in the air.
But at this time, Lu Ze was also thinking about a new question: 'The number of times will be refreshed again soon. What should we copy this time? ’
‘And it is a technology with extremely high value, so the ‘technical reward’ provided will be more. ’
His next plan will require a large amount of money to support it, even more than all the previous sums combined.
Even though he knew that even a technology like the 'Patriot Air Defense Weapon' would cost hundreds of billions of dollars directly, Daxia would still agree without hesitation.
But this is not in line with Lu Ze's usual code of conduct. Since it is based on the principle of 'fairness', it must be 'value for money'.
So facing such a huge demand for funds, he naturally needs to find a technology with "extremely high value".
After thinking about it for a while.
The first technology that popped into his mind was none other than a photolithography machine.
"The technology of this thing must be valuable." Lu Ze touched his chin and fell into deep thought: "It's not that difficult to copy this kind of technological item!"
Lithography machine technology has always been at the forefront of the technology he wants to copy most, and EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine technology even ranks first in the important ranking.
It is three points higher than the 'Nimitz nuclear-powered aircraft carrier', 'Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier', etc.
After all, the importance of the chip industry does not require him to explain too much, and the more high-end the industry, the more important it is.
As long as it involves modern high-tech industries, no one can leave this step of chip technology. This is why Daxia gritted its teeth when it invested hundreds of billions or trillions into the semiconductor industry and still did not see any returns. The reason why I persisted.
"But where can I copy this thing?" Lu Ze sighed quietly in his heart.
Now he has the 'Invisibility Cloak' and the 'Transforming Mask', two artifacts in the world of disguise. When paired with each other, he is not afraid of being discovered at all, so basically there will be no big problem for him to copy anything.
Just leave this area quickly within the half-hour duration of the 'Invisibility Cloak'.
But the problem is.
"I also need to know which area the photolithography machine is stored in?"
He couldn't even find the area where the lithography machine was stored in the laboratory, so how could he replicate it?
Just when Lu Ze was thinking about giving up this plan and looking for another 'high-value technological item'.
Suddenly, a conversation between two white employees sitting next to him attracted his attention.
Although the conversation between the two people was not loud, they could still be heard clearly in the silent main building of the laboratory.
A middle-aged white man with blond hair took a sip of coffee: "Qiang En, it seems that the photolithography machine is coming to the laboratory. Where should we put it?"
"When will it arrive?" The white man with wheat-colored skin next to him frowned: "Besides, what did they Asml do to transport this kind of thing here? Our LLNL laboratory is not a waste collector!"
"It seems that there is a technical problem with a certain component, and it can't be solved over there." The man thought for a while and guessed.
The LLNL laboratory plays a very important role in the field of lithography machines. For example, ASML's most advanced 'EUV lithography machine' is currently ready for mass production. One of the most important mask and engraving processes is produced by LLNL. Laboratory work.
That’s why we have EUV lithography machines here, and ASML will also seek a lot of technical help from them.
When Lu Ze heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
‘These two people should be the directors of a certain department in the laboratory. ’
This is his preliminary conclusion, and it also involves the photolithography machine that he is most interested in at the moment.
Faint English continued to come from over there. Although it was a bit vague, Lu Ze still guessed the general meaning.
"A photolithography machine with a manufacturing process of 32nm will arrive in our laboratory next Wednesday."
The blond-haired old white man frowned: "Next Wednesday? There are no more vacancies in the A and B-level areas. You should place it in the C-level area first."
"When a high-grade clean room is vacated, put it in."
"Understood, I will inform them later." The man next to him nodded.
There is no problem with this processing method. After all, photolithography machines are ultra-high-precision instruments and nano-level manufacturing processes, and the storage environments they require are extremely high specifications.
Naturally, it is impossible to just find a place to put it down, and even the container that carries it needs to be specially customized.
The entire laboratory with this kind of location is basically in the A and B-level areas, which have long been occupied by various high-tech items. For a while, there will be no room for this 32nm optical system. Use the engraving machine. Watching the two people quickly leave the main test building after drinking coffee and desserts.
In an instant.
Lu Ze was overjoyed: "It's actually a 32NM lithography machine?"
He originally thought that the photolithography machine, which was called a "shabby" one, would be some backward product of the 90nm process.
Daxia has already achieved a breakthrough in this kind of manufacturing process, and even if it could be copied, it would not be of much significance.
"The 32NM process should be an immersion photolithography machine." Lu Ze touched his chin.
The mainstream of future lithography machines will definitely be EUV lithography machines, not immersion lithography machines with a process limit of 22NM, let alone this 32NM lithography machine.
However, at this point in time in 2009, this is already second only to the current best 28nm product, and the latter has not even started mass production and delivery.
The top product currently available is AMSL’s 32nm lithography machine.
In today's Daxia, let alone the 32NM process lithography machine, Xia Xin International only has one 45NM process lithography machine, and the process technology of domestic lithography machines can only reach 90NM.
It seems that the difference is less than three times, but in fact, on a technical level, it is more than three times as simple as the number? I'm afraid it's thirty times, or even a hundred times the difference.
"Next Wednesday? Then I'll be waiting for the copy!" Lu Ze clenched his fists and murmured.
Finally let him seize this opportunity, right?
Isn’t this money coming?
This is the lithography machine technology of 32NM process technology. It’s not too much to ask Daxia for tens of billions of dollars, right?
‘With this money, we can actually help a bunch of people in our hometown and other poor places across the country. ' He thought to himself.
This grand plan requires a lot of money, so Lu Ze must make detailed plans.
At the same time, here in Daxia.
Located in the Yanjing State Guesthouse, this place is used to receive the most important VIP guests in Daxia.
outside the door.
Two black vehicles with embassy signs came quickly and stopped steadily at the gate.
The ambassador, who wore a white turban on his head and had obvious Middle Eastern features, slowly got out of the car.
The two ambassadors looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other's faces: 'Why is Xia Ke Academy looking for us again? ’
This is what they wanted to say at the same time.
Especially Saudi Ambassador Plenipotentiary Abdul Abdullah, who walked into the State Guesthouse with a face full of caution and doubt.
I couldn’t help but complain in my heart: ‘What are you planning to do to trick us again this time? ’
After all, every time he met Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing, it seemed that every time it was not a simple matter.
Although things have a happy ending, the process can be described as bumpy.
First they cooperated to develop some "small drones", but then they changed hands and heard the news about Palestine using small drones to attack Israel.
Even the most successful 'medium-range ballistic missile technology' was held captive by Yingjiang for a while.
So no wonder he was so cautious, completely afraid of hearing some 'explosive' news this time.
Enter the banquet hall.
As the Persian Ambassador Plenipotentiary Ahmed Hassan took his seat, the two old men Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing warmly received them.
A variety of exquisite dishes are placed on the table, including not only the top delicacies of Daxia, but also 'authentic' food from Saudi Arabia and Persia.
Even the ingredients were flown directly from their country, which reflected the importance Daxia attached to this dinner.
only.
The two ambassadors were not in the mood to take a bite, and Abdul even felt a little panicked: "Dean Zhang and Mr. Zheng, if you have anything to say, we might as well say it directly!"
Ahmed on the side was also a little restless. He even belittled himself: This is too polite. Isn’t it a ‘Hongmen Banquet’?
Looking at the two people's appearance, Zhang Yuli shook his head helplessly: "Old Zheng, then just say it."
As usual, he always plays the bad side, while Zheng Lixing plays the bad side.
Zheng Lixing immediately understood his thoughts: "Two ambassadors, the matter I am discussing with you this time is very simple."
He squinted his eyes and continued: "Do you want our newly developed long-range unmanned bomber?"
This sentence is like a strange man holding a lollipop, tempting a child.
Instantly, it caused a huge reaction.
"Long-range unmanned bomber?" Abdul shouted, his eyes glowing!
We want this thing so damn much! !
