Lithography machines are undoubtedly very expensive.

An advanced lithography machine, the price may be as high as hundreds of millions, American knife!

However, what my sister Ding Xiaoyou said just now is that she ordered a 25nm lithography machine, and the 24nm process lithography machine is not an advanced lithography machine, it can only be said that it is average, so the price will not be too high.

The most important thing is to be able to buy it.

If you want a 10nm or even 7nm lithography machine, it is estimated that you can't buy it if you want to.

Only Guoxin Technology Group has a 7nm process lithography machine in China, and Dingli Group is responsible for the production and manufacturing of 24nm, 12nm and 10nm lithography machine products.

These are the lithography machine products that have made breakthroughs in China in the past two years.

At present, the world's most advanced Almax Group has begun to develop and popularize 5nm and even 3nm lithography machines.

It can be seen that compared with foreign countries, there is still a lot of lag behind in the process technology of lithography machines and chips.

The key is that even if you want to buy 7nm and 5nm lithography machines in China, you can't buy them.

This is also the reason why Ding Yue's Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences developed and manufactured lithography machines.

Only when China has advanced lithography machines, it will not be stuck by foreign countries in advanced chips and other fields.

"You bought back a 24-nanometer lithography machine, do you want to carry out research on the lithography machine project on this basis?"

Ding Yue frowned slightly, looked at Luo Peng and Tong Yihang, and said.

The lithography machine experimental project at Kirijo University of Arts and Sciences is basically equivalent to starting from scratch, except for the research of technical theory and knowledge.

Even if Luo Peng and Tong Yihang had a theoretical research discussion on the field of precision machining of lithography machines with the investigation team of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Qinghua University last time, it was only at the theoretical level.

If you want to actually conduct research, you still need a lithography machine as a basis.

The 24nm lithography machine is the most advanced process technology lithography product that can be purchased by Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

"Yes, President Ding, after the discussion and research of our lithography machine experimental project research group, and after I talked with Director Liu, I think that on the basis of the 24nm lithography machine, it is most appropriate for us to conduct the research of the lithography machine experimental project. ”

Luo Peng nodded and said, "Of course, this is also the best machine we can get for the process." ”

No matter how good it is, 12nm, 10nm or 7nm, it is impossible for people to give the machine, or even any information at all.

After all, lithography machines are so precious.

Of course, Ding Yue can still get the chip made by 7 nanometers, after all, he has had a lot of orders and transactions with Guoxin Technology, and now the gallium nitride chip in Dabai is the chip customized by Guoxin Technology with 7 nanometer process technology.

"Where did you get it from?"

Ding Yue asked curiously.

This Ding Yue can basically be determined that there is a high probability that it is Guoxin Technology.

Because foreign countries basically do not sell lithography machines in China, even if it is a 24-nanometer lithography machine, it is actually difficult to buy.

Then the best subscriber is naturally the most well-known company in China, Guoxin Technology.

Luo Peng immediately replied: "Yes, President Ding, isn't our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences cooperating with Guoxin Technology in some order transactions, so only Guoxin Technology can sell us a lithography machine." ”

"Okay, it's good if you have research ideas, I look forward to your research results, and strive to develop advanced technology lithography machines as soon as possible!"

Ding Yue nodded slightly, and said to Luo Peng and Tong Yihang very trustingly.

The lithography machine experimental project is a relatively long-term project, and Ding Yue basically handed over all the rights of the project to Luo Peng and Tong Yihang, and their team made their own decisions, and finally only needed to report to themselves.

Just like today, Luo Peng and Tong Yihang ordered a 24-nanometer lithography machine, which is an important part of the whole project, so they came to report to President Ding.

"President Ding, don't worry, we will definitely work hard to develop an advanced lithography machine that belongs to our Xia Kingdom and our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. ”

Luo Peng said with confidence.

Although this 10,000-mile long march is only a small step, they are full of confidence in the future research and development direction, whether it is Luo Peng or Tong Yihang.

"Is there a lack of funds?"

Ding Yue looked at Luo Peng and Tong Yihang and asked curiously.

Ding Yue, the lithography machine experimental project of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, gave 200 million yuan in advance, but Ding Yue knew very well that 200 million yuan was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the research of lithography machines.

After all, a large domestic enterprise like Guoxin Technology, with the support of the state, has spent tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars on lithography machines and chips, which has the mature process of 7-nanometer chips in China and the advanced technology of 5-nanometer level.

The so-called mature process means that it can produce chips with a certain amount of process technology, but if you want to produce it in large quantities, it is still difficult.

There is no doubt that the advanced process can be made, but the cost is too high, so it cannot be mass-produced or even a certain output and yield rate cannot be achieved.

At present, the chips that Guoxin Technology can mass-produce and apply to the market are only 12nm and 10nm chips.

Compared with China, Guoxin Technology is a little "backward".

Because even 7nm and 5nm can be mass-produced and applied to the market abroad.

"President Ding, our research is still in the early stage, and the funds are still sufficient for the time being, and it is expected that at the end of the year, our research will go further, and I am afraid that more funds will be needed at that time. ”

Luo Peng replied.

"Good!"

When Ding Yue heard this, he nodded and said, "When the time comes, the school will invest another amount of money for you." ”

The reason why Ding Yue dared to say this was because of the box office revenue of "Super Marines", and if he urged it to hurry up, he should probably be able to get it at the end of the year.

At that time, Ding Yue will take out a considerable part of the funds to invest in the lithography machine experimental project.

Of course, there is also the graphene battery technology project of his sister Ding Xiaoyou, and the "Wandering Earth" project directed by Su Yangfan.

These projects require a lot of money.

Now Ding Yue suddenly feels that he is super short of money, even if it is a big hit animated movie "Super Marines" that has earned more than a billion yuan for Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, he still feels that it is still not enough.

"By the way, Xiaoyou, you also said just now that the development of your graphene mechanical stripping preparation machine has also achieved a breakthrough?"

After Ding Yue learned about the lithography machine experimental project, he cared about his sister's graphene mechanical stripping preparation machine project.

These two programs are the largest science and technology programs at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

Among them, the difficulty of the lithography machine experimental project is > graphene mechanical stripping preparation machine project.

However, the graphene mechanical stripping preparation machine is just a springboard for her sister Ding Xiaoyou to study graphene batteries.

Only after the successful development of the graphene mechanical stripping preparation machine, his sister Ding Xiaoyou can better study the graphene battery technology.

Graphene battery technology is undoubtedly a revolution in battery energy for the current world.

Ding Yue was actually looking forward to the arrival of this day.

"Uh-huh. ”

Ding Xiaoyou nodded happily: "Thanks to the efforts of Teacher Luo Peng and Tong Yihang." ”

In fact, Ding Yue knew that the success of the research of graphene mechanical peeling preparation machine was inevitable, after all, he gave Luo Peng and Tong Yihang relevant technologies, and after such a long period of painstaking research, the speed was faster than Ding Yue imagined.

"So you can develop a mechanical peeling preparation machine?" Ding Yue frowned slightly, looked at Luo Peng and Tong Yihang and asked.

"It will take some time to successfully manufacture a mechanical stripping preparation machine, and at present, we have only broken through the biggest problem, basically solving the shortcomings of mechanical stripping graphene, and theoretically we can already achieve efficient stripping preparation. ”

Luo Peng replied.

"How long will it take?" Ding Yue asked curiously.

When the graphene mechanical stripping preparation machine can be manufactured, it means that when will my sister Ding Xiaoyou start the research of graphene battery technology.

Because only when Luo Peng and Tong Yihang manufactured the mechanical stripping preparation machine, they could produce graphene with higher purity, and with such graphene materials, her sister Ding Xiaoyou could develop her energy chemistry project - graphene battery with peace of mind!

"If the graphene mechanical peeling preparation machine is successfully developed, it should be in January and February next year. ”

Tong Yihang replied: "Principal Ding, after all, we do have a lot of project work at hand. ”

Ding Yue heard this and expressed his understanding.

Like Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei, they are not only responsible for the technical guidance of the medical and health robot production line.

He also participated in the lithography machine experimental project and the graphene mechanical stripping preparation machine research project.

Even though he is a genius and has been endowed with relevant technical knowledge by Ding Yue, a person's energy is limited after all.

Moreover, a person's day is only 24 hours, so it cannot be used as 25 hours.

"Okay, you should arrange your time and energy reasonably, and at the same time, you should pay attention to rest, remember not to stay up late, young people's health is the most important. ”

Ding Yue told Tong Yihang and them.

I'm not in a hurry, after all, my Fog City University of Arts and Sciences is still very young, and I can't rush to study this large-scale project.

"And we do. ”

At this time, Ding Xiaoyou rolled his eyes and muttered: "I don't know who studied gallium nitride semiconductor material technology, and stayed up with those professors day and night every day. ”

The only one present who dared to scare Ding Yue was Ding Xiaoyou.

Luo Peng, Tong Yihang, and Secretary Wen Ruohan on the side couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this.

"Laugh at what a laugh. ”

Ding Yue suddenly glared at the three of them, and then said, "Aren't I too devoted, and I'm strong, so it's okay to boil up occasionally." ”

"Cut. ”

Ding Xiaoyou muttered: "I won't tell you, I'll go back." ”

After speaking, Ding Xiaoyou turned around and left.

Seeing this, Luo Peng and Tong Yihang didn't disturb Principal Ding's daily work, so they said hello to Principal Ding and left.

This time, the three of them came over mainly to report to Ding Yue about some important progress of the two projects of lithography machine and graphene mechanical stripping preparation machine.

After his sister Ding Xiaoyou, Luo Peng, and Tong Yihang left, Ding Yue continued his daily work (rowing) class (water).

Less than five minutes later, Ding Yue's office phone rang.

Under normal circumstances, when Ding Yue's office phone rang, it was basically a call from various administrative departments of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, such as the Academic Affairs Office, the Propaganda Department, the Culture and Sports Department, or the offices of the heads of various faculties.

Because Ding Yue wanted to work conveniently and organized, he asked the heads of these departments to call the office if they had something to tell him and it was inconvenient to come over.

Ding Yue saw the landline phone ringing, so he picked it up directly and answered: "Hey." ”

"Principal Ding, I'm Pang Jianbo. ”

On the other side of the phone, the voice of a middle-aged man came.

Pang Jianbo Ding Yue is still relatively familiar, he studied physics in college, and Pang Jianbo is the head of the physics department.

"Director Pang, is there something wrong?"

In general, the Department of Physics does not do much, because the Department of Physics is not like the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Computer Science, and it is a department that takes time to cultivate talents.

Ding Yue is already a leader among physics students.

However, Ding Yue had already graduated ahead of schedule, and now he is a graduate student in the Department of Physics of Qinghua University.

"President Ding, that's right, there is now a second student in our physics department who has applied for early graduation, and his graduation thesis has also passed the defense of our department. Pang Jianbo said.

"Oh?"

When Ding Yue heard this, he was immediately full of interest.

In addition to himself, there is a second student in physics who finished his studies early?

Such students are basically at the genius level, of course, this is because of the bonus effect of the learning buff given by Ding Yue.

But to be able to produce another physics student who graduated early in the second year is already amazing.

"Who is it?"

Ding Yue couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This student is Xia Qing. Pang Jianbo replied.

"Xia Qing ......"

Ding Yue recalled the name in his mind.

Somewhat familiar!

Wait a minute!

Isn't that the ...... Xia Qing, the student who was obsessed with quantum mechanics who took the early exam with him?

At that time, Ding Yue needed to graduate early, so the department arranged early exams for various courses, and there was a student who referred to Ding Yue for several exams, and this student was Xia Qing.

A physics student who is very passionate about quantum mechanics.

Although quantum mechanics is a bit mysterious, it does still have a certain research value, whether it is quantum communication or quantum computers, it is likely to become one of the mainstream of science and technology in the future.

But there is no doubt about the difficulty.

Even Ding Yue, a physics genius who has added a strong professional learning buff to himself, basically did not consider quantum mechanics for the time being.

"This Xia Qing is very powerful, Director Pang, you send me his graduation thesis to see, and if he completes his credits and passes the defense of his graduation thesis, then the school can issue him a graduation certificate in advance. ”

Ding Yue said to Pang Jianbo seriously.

"Okay, Principal Ding. ”

Soon, Ding Yue's computer mailbox received an email from Pang Jianbo, and the attached piece was a graduation thesis titled "On the Development Prospects of Quantum Mechanics in the Future Science and Technology Industry".
