NO: 79 meteorites

Although the country of the Netherlands is small, there are as many as 24 large group companies, such as Shell, Philips, Heineken, Unilever and so on.

ASML is ranked thirteenth among the 24 companies, and unless you have paid attention to relevant industry news, you don't know where this company is.

A building behind ASML's headquarters, which produces the world's most advanced lithography machines, has a market share of more than 80% and monopolizes the entire market for high-end lithography machines. In fact, there are more than a dozen sets of high-end machines sold a year, and about 200 sets of low-end machines a year, or less.

The high-end sells for more than an F35. And all the lithography machines of this company are produced here, and the essence of the whole company is also here.

How to stop production here, Lin Feng has thought of many options, a direct nuclear strike, or using a British or American warship to launch cruise missiles, and directly blow up here, but Lin Feng feels that it is not perfect, there must be a better plan.

On this day, ASML employees went to work as usual, the blue sky was dotted with scattered white clouds, and everything was so calm and peaceful.

Danger is approaching, and the employees here are unaware of it. At an altitude of 3,000 kilometers from here, a 10-meter-long glowing sphere is rapidly approaching here, and the flames generated by friction with the air have a long tail, which is very beautiful and spectacular.

The ball fell at a speed of 15 kilometers per second, and the distance of 3,000 kilometers was only a little over three minutes, which did not give people any reaction at all.

The Dutch air base monitored this information on the radar, and when this information was fed back to the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Defense asked: "Meteorite? Can I know the specific drop address? ”

"This is not clear, it is still being calculated, and it is estimated that after the calculation results are completed, she has already fallen, but the approximate range can be known"

"Really? So where is he? ”

"I don't know yet, it should be Europe."

"Oh! Is it? But a meteorite is not a big deal. ”

"Yes, sir, I think so too."

"Where exactly it falls, you will find out tomorrow by reading the newspaper."

"Yes sir, wait sir, now it is certain that it must be in our Kingdom of the Netherlands."

"Oh! Oh, God! Can you know the exact location? ”

"The exact location, I don't know yet, oh! God, I think I know where he fell! ”

ASML's headquarters, which is located next to Highway 2 in Feldhofendor, has now been razed to the ground, and with this as the center, there is no grass in a radius of five or six hundred meters, and the highway has been overturned by more than ten meters.

The energy of this meteorite is much greater than they imagined, this is simply the power of a small nuclear bomb, it should be said that it is more powerful than a small nuclear bomb.

Lin Feng was in the headquarters building of the Demon Star Company, watching all this happen in the Netherlands through this two-hundred-inch giant screen, and silently mourned for the victims in his heart.

Lin Feng, Lan Lan said to herself, "I look forward to you getting rest in heaven!" The history of mankind will honor you. ”

As for what the Dutch government can do, what can they do but provide disaster relief?

As for the reason for the occurrence? There was a lot of speculation, so they found out that they had found the cause of the Tunguska explosion, and they were glad that this time it was much smaller than the Tunguska affair.

ASML's major customers, Samsung, Intel and TSMC they ordered more than ten state-of-the-art lithography machines (NXE 3350B) are paid in advance, but the goods have not been delivered, the company is directly gone, if they now have NXE 3350B in their hands broken, then hehe, although it has several branches around the world, but that is only equivalent to an office, do not produce any products.

The headquarters of Nikon in Japan, after learning the news, everyone celebrated, their advanced machine can sell one a quarter, that is good, Nikon's lithography machine business is supported by low-tech LCD panel lithography machines.

And now that ASML is hanging, they feel that their spring is coming, but will this really be the case?

The most advanced equipment in Japan is not much more advanced than China's, but it is actually just a loss. Intel, Samsung, and Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will not want him, his most advanced lithography machine is worse than ASML's previous generation products, the price is half cheaper, no one wants it, and Chinese companies will not want him, who will he sell to?

Therefore, they are too lazy to engage in it, because it will not be long before their biggest source of income, LCD panel lithography machine, will also be killed by domestic enterprises.

A few years ago, lithography machines were the world of Nikon and Canon, but because they were conservative and stubborn, they didn't know how to be flexible, and they couldn't meet the whimsical ideas of Samsung and Intel's engineers.

Even if there is no magic star company, China is at the forefront of the world in many parts of the chip industry, because China's chip industry has simplified a lot of processes, and the lithography machine can be successful at one time without repeated exposure.

When Intel and Samsung asked to purchase chip printing equipment from Moxing, Moxing quoted his price.

The price of chip printers is calculated according to efficiency, the efficiency of chip printers is five times that of traditional equipment, the price is not expensive, hehe, 1 billion US dollars each, and the factory must be in China, and the entire production line does not allow non-Moxing employees to enter. Otherwise, it will not be sold.

This price is nothing to Intel, and after integrating and considering the cost of production, they found that even if it is $1 billion, they can make money. And the production cost is 20% lower than the original. The efficiency is the same as that of 5 ASML, and they signed the contract happily.

As for TSMC, the factory in China is about to be put into production.

When Samsung asked Moxing to purchase, it was rejected by Moxing, because he was no longer needed for mobile phone chip production, and domestic companies can completely solve these problems, so why do you want you?

"But why can you sell to Intel?"

"Why? Because we don't make PC chips. ”

It's very painful, but it's a very practical answer, approaching the New Year, equipped with domestic memory flash memory chips, solid state drives, listed in large quantities, the biggest selling point is that the price is cheap and not hot, and the storage capacity is large, and the speed is fast.

And Hyundai, Samsung, Micron, Intel, and Kingston were stunned at once.

This pace is progressing too fast, so that many people can't react, and the news only reported one sentence that Intel purchased China's chip production equipment, and the storage equipment equipped with domestic chips was listed in large quantities.

According to this year's economic statistics, China's economic growth rate was as high as 17%. It's a scary number, and it's all a bonus to artificial intelligence.

The capitalist giants and the government of the United States panicked and instigated conflicts and even wars in China's neighboring countries again and again, but no one was stupid.

What role can the Duterte administration play in turning to China and the United States getting some terrorists in the Philippines? Can it affect the big picture?

Then there was India, which was not stupid, and withdrew when it saw that it was good, and then there were terrorists in Myanmar who killed 100 people of the government army.

If the military is not good, then the communication, sanctions, and instigation of Japan, what can Japan do? Tokyo and other places have 50,000 troops stationed in Japan, does he dare to be disobedient?

Although these sanctions are tantamount to itching for China, if there is a mosquito snorting next to it, it is impossible to say that it will be slapped to death.
