Chapter 102 Lithography Machine
Then the first lithography machine came out.
If you buy this thing, any one will cost tens of millions of dollars, and ASML's even has a unit price of hundreds of millions of dollars.
But the price is not the point, the point is that money may not be able to buy it.
The reason is that the lithography machine is the core equipment for the production of chips.
The working principle is very simple: make a mask according to the designed circuit, let a parallel laser beam penetrate the mask, and use the objective lens to scale down the beam and expose it on the silicon wafer, so a silicon chip is made.
However, there are many difficulties in practice, such as whether the laser beams are parallel, whether the laser beams are too strong, and even a small speck of dust will cause chip damage to the silicon chip.
Therefore, the lithography machine needs to work in a dust-free environment.
This "hunting" can do this, using high-efficiency filters to filter the closed workshop to make a dust-free workshop.
None of this was a problem, Qin Tian only needed to say hello to Henry, and then he could get all the equipment he needed.
So a few days later, the first chip was made.
White conducted a series of tests on the chip, and then said to Qin Tian suspiciously: "This is too strange, Qin." A success, and we can barely find anything wrong with this chip! ”
"We're lucky!" Qin Tian replied.
"No, no, it's not something that luck can explain!" "You know, this chip has millions of transistors, and there's always something wrong or something wrong in the process of making it, but it's not going to be wrong at all," White said...... It's nothing short of a miracle! ”
"Maybe there's something wrong with it, but we just didn't find out!"
"Perhaps!" White replied that he could only think so.
What White didn't know was that the reason for this was that Qin Tian was involved in the entire production process, and the possible errors in it had already been corrected by the quantum chip's calculations over and over again.
After the chip is successfully made, the problem of the drone is trivial, that is, the problem of producing parts one by one with CNC machine tools and assembling them.
As a result, the first small drone produced by White's engineering team was steadily suspended in front of everyone, and the engineers couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers.
And what is even more exciting is still to come, the drone is flexibly doing various actions under the control of engineers, backwards, rolling, and sideways......
"Wow!" "It does look like a toy, but we all know it's an amazing toy!" ”
"This is just the beginning, White!" Qin Tian said.
"Yes!" White replied, "We still have a lot to produce, but ...... Don't you give it a name? ”
"Let's call it a hummingbird!" Qin Tian replied.
"Good name!" "Because it's like a hummingbird that hovers and goes backwards!" ”
White had to think about continuing to produce other equipment, while Qin Tian had to think about the troops......
The troops need to be trained so that the new equipment will work in their hands, and this is not a big problem, the problem is secrecy.
Qin Tian decided to take the "Hummingbird" to the Jila base.
This time, Qin Tian didn't bring Kelly with her, but walked with Bertrand, otherwise, I was afraid that I would have to accompany her to the market to buy a lot of bone jewelry.
After entering the camp, Qin Tian called a meeting with all the members of the "S" force.
By this time, the "S" Force had expanded to 67 personnel, and the vast majority of the new additions were from the base...... As the saying goes, "the nine sons of the dragon are different", the overall military quality of the Somalis is indeed not good, but when there are many people, they can always choose a few talented ones, such as a few of them can use AK47 to hit the target with good results, and some people are good at stealth assassination.
These people only need a little training to become a good player.
Of course, there is another requirement for Somali tribes to join the "S" troops, and that is the ability to learn and communicate...... Combat requires coordination, and if you don't know English and can't adapt to high-tech combat, you obviously can't meet Qin Tian's needs.
This aspect was supposed to be well guarded for Qin Tian, and Qin Tian didn't need to worry about it at all.
"Gentlemen!" Qin Tian said straight to the point to the members of the "S" troops: "In principle, we are a team of mercenaries. The mercenary means to hire you, and then you work for me. If you don't want to, or feel that I don't pay enough, you can quit and find another job...... Originally, it was fine, but now for some reason, I have to make a change to the relationship! ”
The soldiers looked at each other, not understanding what Qin Tian meant by this.
"Head, isn't that great?" "We're all happy with our life and our salary, and no one wants to find another job," Baker said. ”
"Yes!" Ben said: "If anyone thinks so, I'll add two more bullets to his salary!" ”
The soldiers all laughed.
"No, Ben!" Qin Tian said: "I'm serious, we can't continue like this!" ”
"Is it because of the funding problem?" The chief asked: "If it's because of this, head, can I do without a commission!" ”
"Oh, Captain!" Someone said, "It's a fateful thing, are you sure you don't want a commission?" ”
"Of course!" The chief replied: "And not only me, but all the tribesmen, I am sure they will all agree!" ”
"Yes!" Soon someone from the tribe raised his hand: "I don't need a commission!" ”
"I don't need to!"
"Count me in, I'd love to serve you for free!"
……
This is what Qin Tian wants, they are not fighting for money, but for a faith, a spirit, and more specifically, to defend the Jira base that gives them another life, for which they will not even hesitate to sacrifice their lives.
It's not something that money can buy.
In contrast, Ben and other white people have a hard time making such a decision because they have families to support, their own hopes, their future enjoyment, and so on.
However, Qin Tian believed that in the near future, they would also be infected by the spirit of the chief and others.
"No!" Qin Tian replied: "I'm glad to hear your statement like this, but the problem we are facing is not a problem of funding. In fact, I can tell you with certainty that we have enough money to hire you for a lifetime! ”
"Great!" Baker said, "I just don't know if the head will still hire us when we get old?" ”
The soldiers burst into laughter again.
"What's the problem, then, head?" That's what Ben cares about.
"It's a new piece of equipment that we have!" Qin Tian said: "It should be said that it is only one of a series of equipment, and these equipment must not be known to the outside world. So...... It's too late to opt out, otherwise, you'll have to stay in this force until you die! ”
