Chapter 268: It's a Good Joke
Last time, the Academy of Sciences announced an increase in research investment in domestic lithography machines, and specially poached Xu Yun from Jingzhou University as the project leader.
This time, Xu Yun publicly said in an interview that the domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machine will be delivered next year.
It stands to reason that the impact and impact on the industry should be greater, and it is normal for the market value of enterprises in the overseas supply chain to plummet.
After all, the new and complete industrial chain represents a multiplication of competitive pressure and a shrinking market share.
However, the actual result is that although well-known overseas media such as the Twisting Times reported on the matter, it only aroused discussion among ordinary people.
The semiconductor industry as a whole is stable.
It's like it's completely untouched.
Ultimately.
It is the market that does not believe that the Academy of Sciences can develop an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine in such a short period of time.
If the research period is extended to several years, it may cause fear.
It is believed that with Xu Yun's ability, it is really possible to break through the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine technology and complete the industrial chain.
However, if you want to say that it will be delivered next year, you will naturally subconsciously think that the news is false out of common sense.
People are always confident in their judgment of what they are good at.
……
"Although Xu is the youngest genius scientist in the world, this time I feel that he is overconfident, which is very bad for scientific researchers."
"Does he know how much money and time ASML has invested in the research of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, and it is crazy to want to catch up with the technology in more than a year."
"Based on my understanding of Xu, he shouldn't be this kind of person, is there a possibility that he has indeed conquered extreme ultraviolet lithography technology?"
"It's definitely the funniest joke I've heard this year, and it's more likely to be than a human landing on Mars."
"I really don't know how the other party will end up then, my God, this is really embarrassing."
"Those fans of his are too fanatical to have the ability to think and judge independently, if they can really develop an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine next year, it will definitely be God who has come to the world."
"They probably had difficulties in the development process, which is why they used this stupid approach."
……
"These are all user reviews on Twitter, and more than 85 percent of people think it's impossible, plus the stock price is stable and normal today without any outside influence."
Qualcomm Electronics Headquarters in Asia, California.
CEO Anrenkov sat on the main seat of the conference room, listening to the report of the female subordinate in front of the wisdom screen.
His face was calm, and he didn't see the slightest worry.
Last time, because Xu Yun was the person in charge of the lithography machine project, it had a certain impact on their company.
This time, until we are sure of the true situation, we must not ignore it.
Therefore, as soon as the news came, a meeting was organized.
After a brief analysis, confirm that this message has no impact.
"Young people always do things impulsively without thinking about the consequences, and this time it can be said that they themselves have pronounced a death sentence on themselves, and it is a joke to want to deliver the first extreme ultraviolet lithography machine next year."
Anrenkov was in a good mood today, when his fingers tapped on the table and he was talking to the executives on both sides with a smile on his face.
seems to have seen the embarrassing picture of Xu Yun not taking out the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine when it expired.
As soon as the words fell, it seemed to open the chatterbox, and the company executives next to him took over the conversation and answered.
"They should want to use this method to impact our semiconductor materials market, but the market doesn't believe it from the stable stock price, and they are shooting themselves in the foot."
"At first, I was really worried about that Xu Yun's ability, but now it seems that he is not omnipotent."
"It seems that we don't need to worry about anything, they have lost the support of EDA industrial software, and the lithography machine cannot usher in technological progress, and they can't get the right to speak in the field of semiconductor materials."
"Next, I think we should help them increase the heat of this matter, according to them, it is called riding a tiger."
Listening to all the arguments of the people, Anrenkov also fell into thinking and weighing the pros and cons.
If the impact of the matter is expanded at this time, let more people know about Xu Yun's commitment to the outside world.
In this way, if Xu Yun can't get a high-end lithography machine next year, he will be affected by this incident, so that even if he really conquers the high-end lithography machine in the future, it will be labeled as untrustworthy by the public and the market.
In any way, at least it does no harm to them.
The thought stayed here, and soon Anlenkov also made a decision, and immediately made an announcement.
"Then this time we will do a good deed with kindness, use the company's resources to increase the heat of this matter, and jointly with ASML next year to visit them and exchange technology, then we will naturally be able to expose his lies."
Speaking of this, the smile on Anlenkov's face became brighter and brighter, as if the global chip market was under control.
This practice was originally decided by consensus, and it is naturally impossible to openly question it at this time.
The itinerary was approved without any hindrance.
As long as Xu Yun can't develop an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, Huayi will not be able to complete the high-end chip manufacturing industry chain.
In addition, without the use of new versions of EDA industrial software, it is simply impossible to design more powerful chips.
At that time, they will have to rely on imports to purchase their chips to meet their needs.
Firmly grasp the global high-end chip market.
However, just when everyone felt that this matter was safe, the blonde female subordinate standing in front of the wisdom screen in front of her raised a question with a little hesitation.
"Boss."
"If the other party really develops the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine on time, do we have to formulate relevant plans in advance?"
When Anrenkov heard this, instead of being angry, he laughed happily.
"You said they would deliver the EUV lithography machine on time?"
"It's a good joke."
"But I think ASML will give you the most authoritative answer in this matter."
After saying this sentence with a smile in a deep voice, Anrenkov stood up from his chair and said to the executives on both sides of the conference table: "That's all for today's meeting, I hope you all have a good day." ”
After saying that, there was no mud and water, and he turned around and left directly.
Immediately, the other executives also left the conference room, leaving only the blonde female subordinate with a complicated expression.
And as Anrenkov said, at the moment there is also a discussion within ASML on the basis of this matter.
And compared to Qualcomm, their atmosphere is more relaxed.
——
"Do they have no concept of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, which is not comparable to ordinary lithography machines of tens of nanometers, who gave them the courage to dare to threaten to complete the delivery of the first extreme ultraviolet lithography machine next year."
Eindhoven, Netherlands.
ASML Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturing Company.
Tonino, the technical executive in the office, was angry and upset by the news that had been circulating from the Academy of Sciences.
As the main technical leader of ASML's EUV lithography machine, no one knows the difficulty better than him.
In order to research the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, the company invested tens of billions of dollars and several years to succeed.
Since then, it has been a leader in the field of semiconductor equipment manufacturing.
We have orders for lithography machines from all over the world.
Now Xu Yun claimed in an interview with the media that he would be able to deliver the domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machine next year, which is simply a slap in the face of their company's technical leader.
I made a huge investment and it took years to get results, and then people said they would be able to do it next year.
What does this mean?
It seems that they are not technologically backward.
After all, it will only be more than a year since the start of the opponent's extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project to the full completion of next year.
In such a short period of time, it is difficult to develop an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.
Unless you have detailed manufacturing techniques and processes.
After all, the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine has hundreds of thousands of parts, which is definitely a very huge project.
More importantly, before Xu Yun served as the project leader of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, the Academy of Sciences was still working on the 28-nanometer lithography machine.
It is no wonder that others are skeptical of such a large distance to be crossed.
At the same time, CEO Peter Win, who was sitting in the boss's chair, smiled at the corners of his mouth and comforted.
"Take it easy, Tonino, they can't have developed an EUV lithography machine."
Speaking of which, as the CEO of ASML, he least wants to see Xu Yun participate in the research and development of lithography machines.
It is precisely because of the insistence of the Academy of Sciences on the research of lithography machines that they are required not to sell high-end lithography machines.
It is also a loss of large orders.
As for the possible impact of the self-developed lithography machine, they did not pay attention to it at all.
Mainly, they firmly believe that Xu Yun will not be able to build an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.
It's not that they are too arrogant and look down on Xu Yun's level of strength.
It is precisely because they have built an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine and know the difficulty of it that they have this firm idea.
Tonino quickly calmed down, but he was still uncomfortable.
I can't help but continue to express my opinion.
"Boss, you know me, I admired this young scientist from the East before, thinking that he might be able to promote the development of human civilization, but I didn't expect him to use this kind of news to deceive everyone."
"He let me down so much!"
After mentioning the name Xu Yun in his mouth, he did not hide the emotion on his face at all.
"Don't worry."
"They will pay for their actions."
Peter Wen took over and said softly: "Many of the technologies of our extreme ultraviolet lithography machine have registered patents, which means that they need to research a new direction to manufacture extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, and the possibility of successful development is too low. After saying that, he didn't forget to stand up, reached out and gently patted Tonino on the shoulder a few times.
"You're right, bosses, they're going to get backlash."
Tonino agreed with Peterwin's statement very much, and subconsciously nodded in agreement.
Just like the comments of online users, if Xu Yun can really complete the delivery of the first extreme ultraviolet lithography machine next year, then God will really appear.
……
Xu Yun naturally had nothing to do with God, and he went directly to his home after returning to Jingzhou City smoothly.
Since Chen Shihe's parents also knew the news of Xu Yun's return, they stopped their work early, and the two families made a sumptuous meal together, waiting for the family's greatest pride to come back.
"I'm back."
Not long after, Xu Yun pushed the door and returned home, and saw his mother Wang Chunfang, who was busy wearing an apron, as well as Chen Shihe and her parents Chen Jianfang and Zhang Wenyan.
"Why is it so fast, how good it would be to say hello in advance and let Shihe pick you up."
Seeing her son-in-law come back, Zhang Wenyan, who was a mother-in-law, was more concerned than Wang Chunfang, and subconsciously responded.
Hearing this, Xu Yun hurriedly explained: "It's okay, it's the same for Brother Fei to send me back." ”
The Fei Ge in his mouth is naturally the driver and bodyguard Wang Pengfei.
As he was talking, he saw that Chen Shihe had already walked over, looked at Xu Yun with love in his eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "I saw the video of you receiving the award on the news, you are very handsome and temperamental." ”
"Of course, I don't want to see who prepared the clothes for me."
A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yun's mouth, deliberately quipping like this, and then he poked his head over and wanted to kiss Chen Shihe's forehead.
Although there are still parents of both sides standing next to them, the old husband and wife who are both married don't care about the impact.
On the contrary, Chen Shihe subconsciously dodged, and said coquettishly: "I'm still wearing an apron, don't mess with you." ”
"It's fine."
Xu Yun said with a smile, and finally got what he wanted.
It wasn't until Chen Shihe's face flushed slightly that he let go of the other party and took out the two award certificates in his bag with his free hand.
walked up to his mother Wang Chunfang, handed it over and said with a smile: "This is the special prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award and the certificate of the Technical Invention Award that I have won, all for your mother." "It's like going back to the scene when I was a kid and showing off to my parents for the first time when I got a perfect score.
Xu Yun knows very well that compared with overseas awards, domestic awards are easier to make his mother happy.
That's why he took out the award certificate.
And it turns out to be true.
Wang Chunfang solemnly took the heavy red certificate, put it on the clean table next to it and opened it.
Chen Jianfang next to him also quickly put on his reading glasses.
The next second, I saw Wang Chunfang suddenly raise her head, and asked a little excitedly: "Did the two certificates be issued to you in person?" ”
Xu Yun naturally knew who his mother was talking about, and explained with a smile.
"When I become an academician and win the highest science and technology award, I will have a chance."
"Okay."
"My son is really glorious, and when I see your father and grandfather in the future, I can proudly say that this is the son I cultivated." Wang Chunfang's eyes were slightly moist when she said this.
These are tears of happiness and relief.
In the next second, Wang Chunfang reacted quickly, and hurriedly handed over the certificate in his hand to Chen Jianfang and Zhang Wenyan.
"In-laws, you two should also take a look."
"It's the first time I've seen a certificate of this level, even if it's a champion, I won't change it." Chen Jianfang stretched out his hand and carefully stroked the steel seal on it, and muttered to himself with a red face.
And in the next time, Wang Chunfang said that he handed over all the certificates to Chen Shihe and put them away.
Then everyone sat down to eat together, filled with a joyful and happy atmosphere.
During this period, Xu Yun found that Chen Shihe's meal was much smaller than before, and he basically had no appetite.
Worried about Chen Shihe's physical condition, Xu Yun put down his chopsticks and cared.
"What's wrong Shihe, is there something wrong with your body?"
Suddenly hearing Xu Yun's words, Chen Shihe looked a little embarrassed, and was stunned for a few seconds before answering softly.
"I'm fine, it's just that you're going to be a father."
When the words fell, before Xu Yun came back to his senses, Chen Shihe hurriedly added: "Originally, I was going to go back to the room and tell you." ”
At this time, Wang Chunfang next to him also said with a smile on his face: "It's true, we accompanied Shihe to the hospital for examination two days ago." ”
"Great."
After receiving the confirmation, Xu Yun finally reacted, and his face was filled with irrepressible excitement.
He and Chen Shihe did not intend to use contraception, and it is not strange that the two of them are healthy and pregnant, on the contrary, they are indeed looking forward to the arrival of the child for the three old people.
It is worth mentioning that knowing this news, Xu Yun originally planned to stay in Jingzhou City for a few more days.
Accompany Chen Shihe well.
It's just that the other party has to let him focus on the project.
Stubborn, Xu Yun had no choice but to return to Jincheng at the original time.
Anyway, at present, several difficulties of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine have been solved, and it is not too difficult to optimize the assembly of the remaining parts, relying on Luo Changhui and Yang Jing, they can shoulder it.
When the general structure is completed, he will not need to sit in Jincheng.
At that time, remote command will do.
After all, it is the first time to be a father in his life, and he must want to stay by Chen Shihe's side more and wait for the birth of the child.
And just as he was about to go to Jincheng on a plane, he received a rather unexpected phone call.
The other party is Director Guo, the director of the small wrecking ball.
When I met Director Guo in the industrial group, the two not only met and exchanged contact information, but Xu Yun also lent the robot dog he made to the other party for film shooting.
In addition, he later got the news that the industrial group accepted his special way of initially promoting the robot armor of the door frame.
provided Director Guo with a model of the door frame robot armor, and cooperated with the filming to complete this sci-fi blockbuster.
Speaking of which, at the moment, I am only afraid that Director Guo and the crew just think that the door frame robot armor belongs to the model and does not exist in the real world.
As everyone knows, the number of door frame robot armor has exceeded 10,000, and it is in service with the army to carry out cooperation training.
In this way, when the movie is released, audiences at home and abroad will have some idea when they see the door frame robot in the movie.
But it is believed that when the door frame robot armor is officially announced, it will definitely be very explosive.
Besides.
After the launch of the artificial intelligence Benben 2.0 version, Director Guo boldly proposed the use of artificial intelligence to speed up the post-production progress of the film.
Even after the clumsy iteration was upgraded to version 3.0, Xu Yun also independently asked the laboratory to open the permission for the other party, which can be regarded as a movie fan to contribute to the rise of domestic science fiction movies.
Although I don't know what happened to Director Guo at this time, since the other party happened to be in Jingzhou City, there was no reason not to see him.
So after thinking about it for a while, Xu Yun asked the other party to come near the airport, and then took a plane to Jincheng after the meeting.
In terms of punctuality, Director Guo really did not disappoint, and before anyone Xu Yun saw the other party's figure, and he could see that he was still carrying a silver metal box in his hand.
Faced with this scene, he almost hesitated, and immediately guessed the purpose of Director Guo's coming over today.
