The emergence of top-level domestic lithography machines can be said to have completely changed the domestic semiconductor industry, successfully getting rid of the technology monopoly of overseas companies. It is no exaggeration to say that it has turned the tide.

Although Future Technology has developed intelligent game engines and Yinglong chip design software, they cannot compare with this.

What's more, lithography machines still rely solely on individual efforts.

Therefore, in everyone's opinion, Xu Lei, the person in charge of the domestic lithography machine R\u0026D project, is many times more powerful than Xu Lei, the president of Future Technology.

I definitely don't believe this is the same person.

Some people even questioned later that this was a deliberate attempt by future technology to take advantage of the popularity of Xu Lei, the leader of the lithography machine project. Many users were filled with indignation.

They all want to maintain the image of project leader Xu Lei.

Even if the other party seems to be intentionally hiding their identity.

However, just when the storm gradually spread and the two Xu Leis were about to appear on the hot search, the official account of the Chinese Academy of Sciences suddenly issued an announcement.

As for the content of the announcement, it is the list of new academicians.

Xu Lei is among them.

Netizens who were still accusing Xu Lei, the president of Future Technology, of taking advantage of the publicity were dumbfounded on the spot after seeing the content of the announcement.

I never expected that the two Xu Lei were indeed the same person.

I just felt like my face was being slapped.

But after coming back to their senses, everyone couldn't help but gasp. It was really unimaginable that the future technology president in their impressions would be the person in charge of this domestic top-level lithography machine research project.

If everyone had an attitude of admiration and gratitude towards the person in charge of the lithography machine project at the beginning, now they are almost kneeling down.

In this case, the relevant platform accounts of Future Technology attracted a large number of users' attention and messages, all of which expressed their true feelings.

"I apologize for my inappropriate remarks earlier. I didn't expect this to be the same person."

"I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped. What Mr. Xu showed before was only a small part of his abilities."

"No wonder there hasn't been much movement in future technology during this period. It turns out that the president went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to research lithography machines. I'm afraid I can't find anyone else with this experience in the country."

"I can no longer call me Mr. Xu. I feel Academician Xu is more appropriate."

"Based on Mr. Xu's contribution to the domestic semiconductor industry, I fully support all Future Technology products in the future."

"If nothing else, if other domestic companies can match one-tenth of the future technology, I can wake up happy when I go to bed."

"The youngest academician, but this honor is well deserved."

"Where's the brother who said he was live-streaming licking the toilet? Please tell me your live-streaming room number."

"Others are in their twenties, the CEO of a technology company, and the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I am in my twenties, a flexible employee, and watch videos every day to learn yoga and practice fitness."

…

The spread speed of the Internet is very amazing, and as an employee of Future Technology, it is impossible not to know.

Especially in their understanding, their boss went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to study for a period of time.

Now he suddenly became an academician who developed the top domestic lithography machine. The gap is really big. Needless to say, it will definitely arouse everyone's discussion.

"Mr. Xu...he is so low-key."

Binjiang City.

Future technology company.

In the tea room, Hange's heartfelt words immediately started chatting among the other people next to him.

"Who says it's not the case? Although I know that Mr. Xu is staying at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I didn't dare to imagine that it was the same person until I saw the list of newly promoted academicians."

"I used to think that Mr. Xu only had in-depth research in the field of artificial intelligence, but today I realize how wrong I was. My understanding of Mr. Xu is still not deep enough!"

"Why did Mr. Xu say that he studied at the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Do you really want to keep a low profile?" Listening to what others said, Zhang Xia couldn't suppress her curiosity. After asking such a question, she immediately looked to the side. On Lu Hongbo.

Hearing this, Hange immediately reacted and followed Zhang Xia's words and asked, "Yes, Brother Bo, can you guess our President Xu's intention?"

Facing the two people's inquiries, Lu Hongbo pretended to be thoughtful with a complicated look on his face.

After a pause of about ten seconds, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Xu is a very special person. Even I feel more and more strange now."

Lu Hongbo believed that as a veteran of the company, he could analyze Xu Lei's intentions when doing something to a certain extent, so he could often complete the assigned tasks well.

Do it to satisfy your boss.

But this time, he had no idea that Xu Lei could still show such great strength and talent in the field of lithography machines, which prompted him to feel a strong sense of frustration.

It turns out that what he thought he understood was just a superficial glimpse of Mr. Xu's profound knowledge.

But just when Hange, Zhang Xia and others expressed disappointment, Lu Hongbo's voice sounded in their ears again.

"Maybe Mr. Xu doesn't want to be affected by these reputations."

"The more talented people are, the higher their requirements are for themselves. Their footsteps will never stop because of the achievements and honors in front of them."

"We still have a lot to learn from Mr. Xu."

After everyone listened to Lu Hongbo's words, they all nodded their heads in agreement with deep expressions, and secretly decided not to mention academician matters in the company from now on, so as not to affect Xu Lei's progress.

And at the same time.

In the president's office, when Xu Lei saw that his identity as an academician was known, he immediately called his parents.

"Mom, did you read today's news?"

"That's right."

"That photolithography machine was indeed developed by your son and me. I am now an academician."

No matter how great his achievements are outside, he always has the mentality of a child when facing his parents. Xu Lei's performance at this moment is no different from when he was a child and showed off to his parents when he received a certificate.

It is also worth mentioning that his parents live near Hongliang's office, and Xu Lei's family information files are classified as top secret, so there is nothing to worry about in terms of security.

In addition, Xu Lei asked Xingtong to implant a special program in his parents' mobile phones so that he could keep track of the situation and intercept abnormal information content.

But compared with the high sentiment at home, the situation overseas is a different story.

In addition to foreign netizens on external platforms such as YouTube being surprised and praising the technical achievements of Loongson Group, companies involved in related industries are already in a state of distress.

In less than a day, several high-level meetings have been held.

After all, the structure of the global semiconductor market has changed. If they want to survive and continue to develop, they must change their previous strategic plans.

Find a new way out for yourself.

Pingguo Spaceship Headquarters Building.

As soon as CEO Kuras returned to his office after the meeting, he told Mel in front of him: "Our 3-nanometer chip must be designed as soon as possible, and we must also try to contact the Loongson Group."

Originally, Kulas had promised Mike that he would not cooperate with Loongson Group for the time being.

Use this method to try to buy time for Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. so that they can quickly conquer the 3-nanometer chip production process.

If Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can successfully make a breakthrough, it will still be able to stabilize its position in the industry by relying on orders from well-known overseas companies such as Qualcomm.

And it can free up its hands to slowly compete with the Loongson Group.

However, although this planning plan was appropriate, the plan could not keep up with the changes, making it unexpected and unable to respond effectively.

No one expected that in less than a month after Loongson Group announced that it had conquered the top-level photolithography machine manufacturing technology, it would upgrade its chip production process from 3 nanometers, which is far ahead of overseas countries, to 1 nanometer, completely cutting off other companies. Hopes for companies to catch up.

After all, 1nm chips are known as the physical theoretical limit of silicon-based chips. Both in terms of performance and power consumption, they greatly exceed 3nm chips.

There is absolutely no comparison between the two.

More importantly, overseas reserves of the special metal bismuth are very limited. Even if we are lucky enough to conquer the core technology, we still cannot achieve mass production.

Under this situation, Pingguo will definitely not be able to cooperate with Ti Semiconductor.

Otherwise, your company's branded mobile phones will gradually lose their market competitiveness until they completely fall off the altar.

You must know that the use of Tamron chips and Chaos Intelligent Connected operating system in Warwick's high-end flagship phones in the past two years has had a certain impact on their sales. If there is another gap in chip performance, it may be a fatal blow.

Pingguo is different from other mobile phone brands in that it has always taken the high-end route.

Each new model released leads the technological development of the industry. Now that there are fabs that have conquered the 1-nanometer chip production technology, they will definitely use it in their own mobile phones in the future.

Therefore, it has become an unchangeable fact to hand over the order to Loongson Group for OEM production.

"It's the boss."

As Kulas's right-hand man, Mel would naturally not have any objections to the boss's instructions, but after nodding in reply, he seemed to think of something again, and after a slight hesitation, he added a few more sentences.

"But if we choose to cooperate with Loongson Group, where is Mr. Mike?"

"The previous promise to break up with the Loongson Group was just to give him face, but now it concerns the company's interests, which cannot be controlled by him as a business person in charge. The blame can only be blamed on Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which is not as fast as others in technological changes. .”

When Kuras heard Mel's question, he was not dissatisfied and said these words casually.

After all, times have changed. If you cannot clearly understand the changes in the market, no matter how large the company is, it will still exit the stage.

What's more, Kuras also knows very well that in addition to them, chip companies such as Qualcomm have also sent people to contact the Loongson Group.

And at this time, he could fully imagine how Mike would behave after knowing these things. I'm afraid that the other person's character would not give up easily.
