"This old fellow, why didn't I find out before, he's so cunning!" Hearing that Ni Guangnan was obviously a way to throw the pot, Boss Jia muttered.

Here Boss Jia actually blames our Academician Ni, he is not a cunning dump, but he really doesn't know how he will find out in the future.

Anything that speaks from the perspective of the future is a hooligan, and dry and wet will naturally not be argued in the future, but in the era of 1995, no expert dared to say who was the future of lithography machines.

But the vast majority of experts still prefer the dry type, the reason is very simple, the internal dry type has been verified by decades of history, with countless technology accumulated there, many engineers start from school, learning is the dry lithography machine.

On the contrary, the wet-based imaging technology, that is, the infiltration method, is only an idea in Lin Benjian's mind so far, even if there is not even a decent systematic experiment, although the immersion imaging method sounds very much like that, but who dares to carry out research like this.

You know, once you start researching, it's billions of dollars in money, and if you don't get results, all that money will be wasted.

It was precisely because of this that Ni Guangnan kept his mouth shut, he really couldn't make a decision. If he is wrong, Boss Jia has lost billions of dollars, and he is afraid that he will die of guilt directly

"Teacher!" Boss Jia groaned, and then asked, "Do you think the infiltration method is feasible?" ”

Because Boss Jia had never paid attention to the lithography machine in his previous life, at most he just watched Huawei's struggle on the lithography machine, and he didn't have any understanding of the principle of the lithography machine at all, so he didn't know how the lithography machine was chosen when facing the infiltration method.

In other words, Boss Jia does not have any advantage as a traverser on this issue, and he must rely on his own ability to make a judgment.

"It's hard to say......" Ni Guangnan smiled bitterly.

"I don't mean it's because you think it's possible, but you don't know the bottom in your heart, right?" Boss Jia asked.

"Hmm!"

"Then teacher, tell me, what are the chances of success?" Boss Jia asked again.

"About forty percent...... No, it's about 30 percent! Ni Guangnan's words were said after thinking for 5 minutes.

"...... like this" Boss Jia was also silent, Boss Jia suddenly found that without the advantage of the traverser, it was so difficult to make a decision, with a three-percent chance of success, such a little chance, it didn't seem difficult to make the right decision.

"Teacher......" After fifteen minutes of silence on the phone, Boss Jia spoke again, during which Ni Guangnan didn't even say a word.

"Teacher, how long will it take for us to catch up with AMSL and other companies in the dry method! How many restrictions are there on patents? Boss Jia asked.

"I'm now, at most 10 years, at least 20 years, we can catch up, but the patent is ......" Ni Guangnan didn't speak, and Boss Jia himself knew that the patent obstacles in this were as huge as mountains and seas.

"The fastest 10 years, at least 20 years, teacher, even if we calculate according to the fastest speed, we will be 76 years old at that time! If you're not lucky, you'll be 86 years old! ”

"What's wrong? Am I too old to dislike the old man? ”

"It's not a teacher, I just thought, you don't want to be 76 years old, you just want to catch up with others!"

"What do you mean!"

"Teacher, how do we chase now, to put it bluntly, it is to walk again along the road that others have already walked, and the road is full of signboards and stones erected by others, even if we catch up with them, we have to carry these photos and stones on our backs, we are too difficult!"

"Teacher, when a group of people are racing on the track, and the last person has been pulled down by the first echelon by a quarter of the distance to the runway, what is the easiest way to catch up with them?"

"You want to get off the runway?" Ni Guangnan understood what his apprentice meant.

"Yes, since it's so hard to catch up, let's not chase it, we just have to get off the track, no matter what part of the corner, just run straight to the other end of the track. And this immersion method is the way to break through the track! Boss Jia's tone became firm.

"Now everyone is trapped at the 70nm level, and even if we catch up in the future, we will be trapped at 70nm, which is the inevitable dilemma of the dry method."

"But if we study the immersion type, then it is equivalent to starting from scratch, as long as we can break through this dilemma, then we can start directly from 50nm, and then those guys will still be trapped at 70nm, so we can achieve corner overtaking, and directly leave these guys behind." The more Boss Jia spoke, the more excited he became.

"Yapeng, you have to think clearly, that is, if the final immersion type proves to be unworkable, then all the time and investment will be wasted!" Ni Guang South Road.

"Then grab it with both hands!" Boss Jia said angrily, "On the one hand, we continue to study on the traditional method, do not relax, on the other hand, we begin to fully start the research of immersion imaging method, a red star, prepare with both hands, as long as any hand breaks through, we are all winners." ”

"But in this way, in terms of funds!"

"Don't worry about the funds, I have the money, I have made a lot of money in movies and games recently, I will immediately transfer 500 million US dollars to you, and let the research center immediately dispatch a group of the most elite, the most energetic, and the youngest forces to overcome the immersion imaging method!" Boss Jia said.

"The youngest...... Aren't you going to ask for the most experienced? ”

"Since you want to take a shortcut and break through, it's better to leave it to young people who don't have any experience, but are full of enthusiasm, this kind of thing, if the old man does it, it may be a bad thing."

"However, we can let experienced old people serve as auxiliary positions, we can tutor young people, and we can use their experience, but we must not let them block this research!" Boss Jia said firmly

"Okay, I'll arrange it, but I said in advance, if it fails, I'm not responsible for the billions of dollars in losses!" Ni Guangnan said with a smile.

"It's okay, isn't it billions of dollars, even if it is lost, I can bear it! But the loss of time, we can't afford it! Boss Jia's words were also the reason why Jia Yapeng finally made up his mind.

Just like Boss Jia himself said, the loss of billions of dollars is terrible, but Daqian is not unaffordable, and it is a big deal to let Baidu Real Estate sell a few commercial CBD when the time comes.

But if you lose your time in the next 10 years because of saving money today, you can't buy it back with any amount of money.

"By the way, teacher, do you know that engineer named Lin Benjian? Is he important to our research? Boss Jia suddenly asked.

"Lin Benjian, I've heard that he's always done wet imaging, he has a lot of experience, if he can come in, that's absolutely fine...... It's just that this Lin Benjian is from Wanwan, and I heard that ZZ tends to be particularly bad, I'm afraid that if you dig him in, our research will ......," Ni Guangnan said with some concern.

"Okay teacher, I understand, there will be no problem!" Boss Jia smiled slightly.

"Lin Benjian, I'll give you a chance to decide your own fate!" Boss Jia had a hint of ruthlessness on his face.
