There's a black hole inside me

October 2nd.

Wei Ming, who had an engagement ring on his left ring finger, went to work at Black Hole Technology Company.

In fact, he didn't want to go to work. He planned to spend another night at Xu's house and keep up his efforts to win Xu Chuxia's first time.

He almost succeeded last night. At the last critical moment, he didn't expect that his aunt would have her last day.

Wei Ming said that he could wait another day, and he could wait for one day.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chuxia disappeared this morning. Sister Xu told him that Chuxia had to go to the imperial capital for something and would be back in two days, so that he did not have to worry or misunderstand.

grass!

Wei Ming felt fucked up in his heart.

It must be the behind-the-scenes boss who did it. Even if he didn't come to attend his daughter's engagement ceremony, he even called her to the imperial capital and asked him to stay alone in the empty room. How...

Forget it, he is the prospective father-in-law after all, so he should keep his mouth shut.

Go to work, go to work.

Only by being busy can you avoid being burned by desire. A virgin's concentration is so poor.

…

Black Hole Technology Company, Factory Three.

This is the latest "high-precision machine tool" factory to be established. In recent days, it is recruiting a large number of research talents in machine tools.

Because Wei Ming discovered that if he could only rely on his "god-level polishing" to solve the problem of EUV lithography machine parts, even if he came to the factory every working day, he could only satisfy about 10 Tyrannosauruses throughout the year. EUV needs.

In order for the lithography machine factory to achieve the mass production capacity of 20 Tyrannosaurus EUVs per year, it would have to work overtime every day and polish parts for hundreds of hours every week.

This is obviously not possible.

In industrialized mass production, one cannot rely on him to work overtime every day to solve problems.

Machine problems can only be solved by machines.

He said to Zhu Guangji, the person in charge of the high-precision machine tool factory, a veteran engineer who was over fifty and had a skinny build. He had worked in machine tool research and development for nearly 30 years at a well-known state-owned machine tool company: "Mr. Zhu, if we use the Tyrannosaurus EUV If the precision technology in our project is applied to the 'Phoenix' machine tool, can it increase the self-sufficiency rate of Tyrannosaurus EUV parts from 50% to more than 80% without my help? "

"It's definitely more than 80%."

Zhu Guangji wrinkled his face and said: "As long as the 'Phoenix' machine tool has the precision of Tyrannosaurus EUV, the photolithography machine factory's parts self-sufficiency rate can reach at least 99%, or even 100%, without the need for manual processing."

"Are you sure you really don't need it?"

Wei Ming was confused: "It is said that the pot cover lenses in Esmed's EUV are hand-polished by the old craftsmen of Caisi Company. Each one has more than 20 years of work experience. There is no such thing in our country." Several such old craftsmen.”

"This is a bit of a rumor."

Zhu Guangji shook his head and said: "If such advanced equipment as a photolithography machine relies on the polishing skills of a few old craftsmen, then there is no need to design and manufacture it at all, because such a production method is unstable."

"In fact, even the most difficult-to-process 'pot lid lens' is first processed to a certain extent using a machine tool. In order to improve the accuracy, it is finally processed by craftsmen manually. It is just to complete the final finishing work. If it is made from a complete piece If the glass starts to be polished, EUV will never be produced.”

"Machine tools account for 99% of the credit, and craftsmen at most 1%. Esmed's EUV output has increased significantly in the past two years, which shows that Western machine tools have higher processing accuracy and are freed from dependence on craftsmen, so they can achieve mass production. "

"I see."

Wei Ming nodded: "In other words, the leadership of Esmed EUV lithography machines is mainly based on the leadership of machine tools, not craftsmen."

"That's right."

Zhu Guangji said: "I have been working in the machine tool industry for more than 30 years. This industry is the same as the chip industry. The gap between us and the West is not getting smaller and smaller, but getting wider and wider, especially in the field of high-end machine tools. Twenty years ago, the processing accuracy of high-end Western machine tools was generally 0.1 microns (1 micron). Our high-end machine tools were about the same. But now, Western high-end machine tools can generally achieve 0.01 microns, and even the most powerful ones can reach 0.01 millimeter. A trace (10 nanometers), or even an exaggerated ten thousandth of a trace (1 nanometer), but we are still about 0.1 nanometers, almost standing still. "

"Standing still for twenty years?"

How can this be?

Wei Ming frowned and said, "Is there no one going to change this situation?"

"Of course some people want to change the status quo. I have asked the factory more than once to increase research and development efforts to conquer high-end machine tools. The factory leaders did approve some money to support us in conquering machine tools with one-thousandth of a thread precision. But today's leader It's useless to approve a little money if the leader doesn't give it tomorrow. The research and development funding for a high-end machine tool is at least 2 billion and it will take more than ten years. It won't work without firm and lasting support!"

Zhu Guangji said: "And just like photolithography machines, the market size of high-end machine tools is small and has a long service life. It is common to buy a machine tool that can be used for thirty or fifty years. It can be seen in many old factories. Machine tools from a hundred years ago can still be used, even better as they get older.”

"Finally, unlike other fields where the West only allows the sale of products that are one or two generations behind, in the field of machine tools, the West allows the export of machine tools that are one level ahead in precision, and the price is not particularly expensive. As long as we make a breakthrough, we will immediately reduce the price and release machine tools with higher precision. In order to pursue the stability of machine tools, those factories that purchase machine tools will still give priority to foreign machine tools instead of domestic ones, even if the imported machine tools are a little more expensive." "That is to say, under the restrictions of various factors, our high-end machine tools have never been developed, and can only take up the low- and medium-end markets with meager profits. Considering the high R\u0026D expenses, there are gradually few domestic machine tool factories willing to do thankless things and live in comfort. They don't even notice that the gap in high-end machine tools is getting bigger and bigger, so big that it affects the development of the country's high-precision and cutting-edge technologies, and becomes a bottleneck and ceiling that is difficult to break through..." When he said the last sentence, Zhu Guangji shook his head again and again, feeling heartbroken! The so-called "born in adversity, die in comfort", this truth has been heard countless times by everyone! We cannot stop developing in this field just because foreign countries allow the export of high-end machine tools. Machine tools are the foundation of a country's industrial strength and the upper limit of a country's scientific and technological potential. No matter how much attention is paid to them, it is not too much.

However, his voice is not important, and no matter how much he appeals, he cannot change the leaders' thinking.

Now, the once glorious state-owned machine tool factory has gone bankrupt. He was completely discouraged and planned to retire early. After seeing the olive branch extended to him by the Black Hole Technology Company that created Tyrannosaurus EUV.

The fire that was extinguished in his heart was rekindled.

He quickly gathered a group of troops, integrated a team, and recruited many frustrated people like himself to form the current "Phoenix" machine tool R\u0026D team. Although there are many white-haired people in their fifties, they are definitely a team of elite soldiers.

"Short-sightedness, a vicious cycle." Wei Ming shook his head and said to Zhu Guangji: "Engineer Zhu, don't worry, this kind of thing will not happen in my company, unlimited funds, unlimited resources! I will personally check this project and strive to produce an industrial mother machine with a processing accuracy of 1 nanometer within half a year!" He wanted to say within half a year, but was afraid that Engineer Zhu would think he was impetuous, so he said a little longer. In fact, he thought that within half a year would be no problem at all, after all, he had Xiao Hei. "Good! Good!" Zhu Guangji clapped his hands, his face flushed with excitement: "With President Wei joining, our 'Phoenix' machine tool project will definitely succeed!" I just sent it by mistake
