Teacher, what kind of surprise have you prepared for me! Boss Jia hurriedly came to the joint laboratory with interest and found Ni Lao in the laboratory.

"I thought you wouldn't be here today!" Ni Guangnan rolled his eyes, and then said, "You come with me." ”

"Good!" Boss Jia nodded, and then followed Chief Engineer Ni all the way into the research institute, and finally entered a very well-guarded room inside the research institute, and saw a large machine five or six meters long.

"What is this?" Boss Jia asked curiously.

"This is a prototype of a 200nm lithography machine!" Chief Engineer Ni said proudly.

"What! What do you say it is? This time, Boss Jia was shocked.

"I said that this is a 200nm lithography machine completely produced by us in China with independent intellectual property rights!" Ni Guangnan's head was about to be lifted to the sky, "After visiting ASML's production base that day, didn't I tell you that I already have a thorough understanding of the 200nm lithography machine?" ”

"That's what I did!" Ni Guangnan proudly pointed to the machine in front of him and said, "This is the first 200nm lithography machine independently manufactured by our Huaxia."

"75% of the original parts of this lithography machine are purely domestic, and the domestic production rate of core components is as high as 70%. As far as I know, Nikon's domestic production rate is about 50%, while ASML's domestic production rate is only 10%, so our equipment has the highest domestic production rate in the world. ”

"My teacher, you're too powerful, we've only been back for a few days, and you've built the equipment?" Boss Jia said in shock.

[PS: Explain, the current timeline is that Boss Jia has just returned from the Netherlands, and the 70nm lithography machine is still in the Netherlands and has not yet been shipped]

"Actually, this machine was built before I left, but there were some problems. Didn't I tell you that I still had to do experiments the day we left? Just to test the problem of this machine. ”

"However, this problem was solved after I visited the ASML factory, and it turned out that their factory installed the machine using hydraulic installation, so that the installation accuracy can be accurate to 0.001 mm, and our original installation method can only be accurate to 0.1 mm!"

"Don't look at the difference of only 0.099 millimeters, but on a machine at the nm level, this is a difference of thousands of kilometers. So when I came back, I reinstalled the machine and used the hydraulic installation method, and it worked! When Ni Guangnan said this, his expression was both smug and happy.

But this is also normal, Ni Guangnan's dream has always been to make Huaxia's own CPU, as well as a complete computer system. Now this dream has finally taken a big step, and a lithography machine that can reach the world's terminal level has finally been manufactured by Huaxia itself!

"It's so powerful, can it be mass-produced?" Boss Jia circled around this lithography machine several times, and then couldn't help but ask.

"In case of mass production, it will take a certain amount of time, and the main problem is the production equipment!" Ni Guangnan sighed and said, "Although 75% of the originals are domestically produced, about 50% of the parts are not available in China, and they are all handmade by our researchers in the laboratory. ”

"Although these parts are made, but the efficiency is too low, a researcher 10 days to be able to manually manufacture a part, in addition to key lenses, laser heads and other equipment, also need to be imported from Germany, these parts, we still have a gap!"

"So if you really plan to mass produce these equipment, then you must design a special production line, and customize some special equipment, which may add up to two or three hundred million dollars!"

"Another two or three hundred million!" Boss Jia licked his lips, the 200nm lithography machine belongs to the mid-range lithography machine in the world, so the price is not too expensive, one is about 10 million US dollars, and 300 million is enough for Boss Jia to directly sell 30 200nm lithography machines.

"So I don't think it's necessary to mass-produce 200nm lithography machines now, after all, the highest technology is 70nm, followed by 140nm, and then 250nm.

"We have mastered the technical reserves for manufacturing these equipment, and it is enough to prepare for the high-end lithography machine that breaks through to 70nm, and now mass production is purely a loss of money!" Ni Guangnan said with a sigh.

Although he persuaded Boss Jia not to mass produce it, he couldn't wait for this equipment to be mass-produced immediately, because this is the product that most of the strength of the entire research institute took 6 months of hard work to manufacture, if it can't be mass-produced, then a large part of these hard work will be in vain.

But Ni Guangnan also knows that if he invests two or three hundred million dollars in mass production of this 200nm equipment, he will definitely not be able to recover the cost, so he can only give up.

"Then what if I want to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to build this factory?" Boss Jia groaned.

"Then you'll have to invest at least $1 billion!" Ni Guangnan shook his head and said, "Things are not as simple as you think, even if we can mass-produce lithography machines, but if you want to mass-produce chips, it's no problem, but if you want to mass-produce CPUs, then no, CPUs are not simply just one chip is enough, they also need a lot of other semiconductor equipment to work together, which requires a lot of capital investment, the number of funds will exceed 10 billion!" ”

"Then I'll think about it!" Boss Jia heard Chief Ni's words and fell into deep thought.

"Come on, you go home and think about these questions, you come with me, I have other things to show you!"

"There's still something!" Boss Jia perked up, and then followed Ni Guangnan to continue walking towards the depths of the research institute and came to the door of a laboratory.

These are the only three first-class dust-free laboratories in the Joint Experimental Center, as mentioned earlier.

"Put this outfit on!" Ni Guangnan took out two sets of dust-free clothes from the wardrobe, put on one set for himself and Boss Jia, and after 20 minutes of dusting operations, the two finally entered the laboratory.

"This is another gift I gave you!" Ni Guangnan smiled, then pointed to a machine on the experimental bench and said.

Boss Jia leaned his head over, and then the whole person showed a surprised expression.

"It's ...... Cell phone!!! Boss Jia exclaimed, "Teacher, you're too good!" You've built your phone! ”
