Live Challenge: You Really Built Shanhe University

Chapter 220: Lithography Machine, China’S Eternal Pain!

"Let me introduce you, this is the president of Yenching University, Yu Tianzhou.

"This is the president of Qingbei University, Wan Quanshan."

"This is the director of the Tianji Research Institute, don't ask."

"Who is this......"

The staff saw Qin Mu's confused face and quickly introduced him.

"Oh, it turns out we are colleagues. Nice to meet you."

Qin Mu suddenly understood and greeted politely.

But he found out.

These people were a little aloof and just nodded slightly towards him.

Didn't say much.

On the contrary, it was Yu Tianzhou, the president of Yanjing University, who stood up first and took the initiative to talk: "Famous is not as good as meeting. I didn't expect that President Qin who founded Shanhe University... would be so young."

There was a bit of sadness in his tone.

His expression was a little complicated.

Wan Quanshan looked at Yu Tianzhou in surprise and stood up: "Congratulations to Shanhe University. This time the national university rankings have been updated, ranking ninth. It is really a formidable young man.

This update of college rankings...

In fact, the top 100 universities have not changed much, they are all the same.

The maximum ranking has changed.

A few steps forward, or a few steps back.

The only oddity......

It’s Shanhe University.

He broke out from outside the 2800th place and rushed directly into the top ten, ranking ninth!

The discussion outside is going crazy now.

They just got together and the topic they discussed was this ranking update.

"Lucky, lucky."

Qin Mu smiled slightly and said in a low-key voice.

From the introduction of the staff.

He can probably guess the identities of everyone here. Basically, they are all from top universities or top research institutes in the country.

Either the principal or the director.

It can be said to be a gathering of big guys.

"By the way, do you know why this meeting is held?"

Qin Mu found a seat and sat down, and at the same time asked the people around him.

"you do not know?"

A middle-aged Mediterranean man next to him was slightly surprised.

Qin Mu shook his head.

He had the impression that this middle-aged man was the director of a certain research institute, named Mo Wendao.

"This meeting is mainly for bidding."

Mo Wendao looked deeply at Qin Mu and said slowly.

"Tendering?"

Qin Mu was even more surprised.

The Ministry of Science and Technology convened the country's top universities and research institutes just to invite bids?

Then this "standard"......

It's definitely not ordinary.

“This bidding is related to the photolithography machine project.

Mo Daodao pointed at everyone present, and then said: "Only 320 schools or institutions with strong scientific research capabilities will basically be called over."

"Lithography?"

Qin Mu was shocked after hearing this.

This technology......

In fact, it has been broken through a long time ago, but the person who mastered this technology is not China.

strictly speaking.

There are so many countries in the world, but only two countries have mastered photolithography machine technology.

Not even the United States can grasp it.

But these two countries...

Technological monopoly and blockade were launched, and strict confidentiality was maintained.

therefore.

Over the years, they are the only ones who have firmly grasped the lithography machine technology.

"Everyone, the director is informing everyone to enter the conference room and prepare for the meeting."

Just stop

A staff member walked in and interrupted Qin Mu's thoughts.

Everyone stood up one after another.

Walk towards the conference room.

They each found a seat and sat down.

What a coincidence.

Qin Mu was surprised to find that sitting on his left was Yu Tianzhou, the president of Yenching University.

On the right, Wan Quanshan, the president of Peking University, sits.

Opposite him, Mo Wenwen, who had just explained his doubts, sat.

ten minutes later.

An old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit walked into the conference room.

When everyone saw this, they stood up one after another.

Even Yu Tianzhou and Wan Quanshan did not dare to neglect, and took the initiative to say hello: "Director Liang.

Qin Mu sat aside and clearly felt the emotional fluctuations of the two people.

These two people......

It's not just politeness, but more of admiration.

"Everyone, take a seat."

The old man surnamed Liang nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Everyone took their seats.

The old man glanced at everyone present and confirmed that everyone was present.

Then he slowly said: "I believe that everyone has heard some rumors before coming here. Yes, this meeting is just for the bidding of lithography machines.

below.

Everyone looked at each other, and many people showed expressions that were indeed the case.

Obviously.

Before the meeting, they got some gossip.

"Lithography machines represent the highest level of human mechanical processing. They have been monopolized by two countries, Holland and China, for decades."

The old man took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Every time the Ministry of Science and Technology thinks about this, it feels sad, so it has decided to launch a comprehensive scientific research project on lithography machines."

"But for some reason."

"We decided to give this project to top domestic universities or research institutions."

At this point, he paused.

His eyes swept across all the participants.

"There are a total of 19 people participating in this conference, including 8 universities and 11 research institutes, all of which have strong scientific research capabilities. The ownership of the lithography machine research project... will also be born among you. ."

The words just fell.

In the conference room, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Although he was restrained, his excitement was palpable.

Even the principals of Tianzhou and Wanquanshan, two top prestigious schools, are not immune to this.

He looked eager to try.

TLF.......

There is tremendous interest in this project.

"I will give you one month. After one month, we will still be here. Every organization or institution... needs to submit a plan related to the lithography machine research project.

The old man then spoke and said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of Science and Technology will select the most suitable one from the 19 plans to implement the research on the lithography machine plan.

"At that time, if you need money, give money, if you need people, if you need equipment, give equipment. All the conditions will be met."

below.

Qin Mu could even hear the swallowing sounds of several people next to him.

Even with their status, they still couldn't hold back after hearing this promise.

"It seems...the country is serious about this photolithography machine project."

Qin Mu's eyes flickered slightly and he understood.

What the old man said was very clear. Anyone who wins the tender can meet any conditions.

Give whatever you want.

Want power and become an official? Give it!

Want money, funds? Give it!

Want people, talents? Give them!

The premise is.

You must submit a plan that is feasible, has real room for maneuver, and can break down foreign technical barriers!

"Gentlemen, foreign countries have already iterated to the third generation of photolithography machines."

The old man took a deep look at everyone, with a strong sense of worry: "But our country has not been able to make breakthrough progress in this field for decades [far behind others."

"The truth that if you fall behind you will be beaten, history has proven it a hundred years ago."

"In order to prevent our descendants from being beaten, we must catch up, overcome the technical difficulties of lithography machines, and create a lithography machine that belongs to us and is no longer controlled by others!"

below.

When everyone heard this, their expressions were solemn.

He nodded involuntarily.

As the saying goes.

Born in sorrow, died in happiness.

The more peaceful and prosperous the world is...

The competition is getting fiercer.

Time waits for no one.

Once you fall behind the times and trends, you will be severely left behind.

The rise of China……..

There will be no chance again!

"Let's go, now enter the second part of the meeting."

After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly sighed.

Hold hands behind your back.

Walked out of the conference room.

Everyone was a little surprised.

But under the guidance of the staff, they quickly got up one after another and followed the old man.

A group of nineteen people, including Qin Mu, soon arrived outside a sealed and heavily guarded laboratory.

[Permission verification is successful, the laboratory door is opened and smashed!]

The old man used his authority to bring everyone in.

In a huge laboratory.

Empty.

Entry purpose......

It is a very large piece of equipment.

"Lithography!"

Mo Wendao's pupils shrank sharply and he exclaimed.

The rest of the (cgbc) people also recognized the equipment in front of them, and their expressions were even more surprised.

"Yes, this is a photolithography machine."

The old man nodded, but he did not look happy at all: "It is the first-generation lithography machine that our country spent 3 billion yuan and purchased from Henan at a high price."

"This is such a lithography machine. Chinese researchers have been studying it for several years, but they have never been able to break through the technical difficulties."

"This is also the reason why Henan dared to be so unscrupulous and sold the lithography machine to us.

"They are sure that we don't even have the means to dissect the technology inside it, and they are not worried at all about us replicating it!"

Speaking of which.

The old man's face was a little ugly and livid.

no doubt.

This is a condescending insult!

But...

They really can't figure it out!

"In this afternoon, you can study this lithography machine to your heart's content, and ask researchers for relevant data on the lithography machine as a basis for scientific research project plans.

The old man sighed and spoke to everyone again.

Everyone looked at each other with concentration.

Everyone is aware of the difficulty of this scientific research project.

The enemy has made it clear that they cannot develop a photolithography machine.

This also illustrates...

There are many technical difficulties in developing lithography machines, which China is currently unable to master.

Technological monopoly and blockade are not just talk.

"The stubborn Henan pigs, sooner or later, I, China, will trample them under our feet!"

Mo Wendao clenched his fists and couldn't help but curse.

Qin Mu was not far away and could hear clearly. He couldn't help but be stunned.

***…….

The director of this xx research institute is also a temperamental person.

"Let's go, I want to see how many years has this photolithography machine that even the United States has not mastered.

Mo Wendao waved to Qin Mu and was the first to go to the lithography machine.

Start with the appearance.

Study it.

Its weight is as high as 180 tons.

It occupies an entire laboratory.

Many mechanical operations can be performed internally, such as fine processing, chip production, assembly line production, etc.

"Shall we try running it first?"

Yu Tianzhou's eyes flickered and he suggested.

Everyone nodded.

With the old man's permission, the photolithography machine was started.

"boom--"

The sound of machinery roared.

There is a chip the size of a fingernail placed in its working area.

A beam of ultraviolet light shines out.

The protective film on the wafer surface is removed, and then

The circuit pattern is accurately projected onto the wafer, creating a pattern area that meets the chip requirements.

The whole process......

All maintain nanometer-level operating precision.

Not a single mistake.

After a few seconds.

An extremely complex chip was processed and placed quietly in the groove.

The scene was silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.

After a while.

Mo Wendao let out a long sigh with a very solemn expression: "I have to admit that He Nan's technology is really awesome."

He was not easily convinced in his life.

But the magical power displayed by this photolithography machine has exceeded his knowledge.

To know.

Such a chip the size of a small fingernail.

If it were to be processed and manufactured in the most advanced factory in the country, it would take at least two months to complete.

But the photolithography machine only takes a few seconds.

Seconds and two months.

The gap has reached an unimaginable level.

"Building a dojo inside a conch shell is nothing more than that."

Yu Tianzhou stared at the huge lithography machine in front of him, and was also moved.

Precise nano-level processing on such a tiny chip is truly amazing.

X......

The photolithography function represents the pinnacle of human machining level.

"This is just an obsolete version of the first generation, which can only achieve nanometer-level precision. However, Hernan has developed a third-generation photolithography machine, and the processing accuracy has reached...a human hair."

One in five thousand. "

Wan Quanshan smiled bitterly and murmured.

A hair is about 0.02 mm in diameter.

One in five thousand hair strands...

Equivalent to 0,0000004 mm.

Only 0.4 nanometers.

"It's too difficult. There are too many problems to be solved. There are probably an astronomical number of transistors hidden in this lithography machine. Just installing them in the machine is an extremely difficult problem."

"There are also light sources and nano-scale ultraviolet technology, which we have not yet mastered."

"Laser emission software and hardware are also very important. Currently, we can only rely on imports for this series of products, and we cannot produce them independently.

"More than a thousand components of the lithography machine can only be purchased from Holland. No wonder they dare to be so confident!"

Everyone sighed.

Can't help but feel a little desperate.

The other party showed off and copied all the homework for them, but they were sure that they couldn't understand the homework.

I can’t even understand the homework, which is too painful.

They seemed to see...

This country, across the ocean, is mocking them.

"Gentlemen, please."

The old man stood still and suddenly bowed deeply to the nineteen people.

The hope of this scientific research project is pinned on them.

Everyone saw this.

His body trembled slightly and he quickly returned the greeting.
