January 14, 1966, First Hospital of Moscow State Medical University.

Sergei Pavlovich Korolev was operated on here for the discovery of intestinal polyps.

Although the removal of intestinal polyps is only a trivial operation, Korolev, the undisputed soul of the Union's space industry, was operated on in the best hospitals and by the best surgeons.

In 1926, at the age of 20, Korolev entered the Bauman Higher Technical School in Moscow and became a student of Tupolev.

In 1929, he took Tsyolkovsky as his division and participated in the formation of a rocket jet propulsion research group.

Three years later, he published his first book, Rocket Engines, and the following year he published his book, Rocket Flight.

Judging from these qualifications alone, Korolev's growth is a legend, and he is destined to become an extremely important astronaut figure in the alliance.

But in 1937, his father's purges sent him and his teacher Tupolev to Siberia to do hard labor, and although he was soon called back to work at the aircraft factory, the exile took a serious toll on Korolev's health.

In 1957, with the launch of the Alliance's first R7 intercontinental missile, the space race began in full swing, and in 1953, after the death of his loving father, Korolev was constantly entrusted with important tasks, working overtime for a long time to accelerate the development of the Alliance's aerospace industry.

Korolev sent the first intercontinental missile, the first artificial satellite, the first cosmonaut Gagarin into space, and not long ago built the "Ascent 2" spacecraft in a competition with Aramco, making Alexei Leonov the first person to complete a spacewalk.

For such a legendary figure, even for a minor operation, there were several high-ranking officials of the OKB Design Bureau and military generals waiting outside the operating room.

About 40 minutes into the operation, Korolev's assistant, Vasily Mishin, who would later inherit the N1 project, saw the door of the operating room being pushed open and the surgeon in charge of the surgeon hurriedly ran out.

In less than a minute, two specialists in cardiac surgery rushed into the operating room.

Vasily was puzzled, it was just an operation for intestinal polyps, why did he need a cardiac surgeon?

The events in the operating room gave everyone an ominous premonition, and when the operation went on for four hours, the surgeon announced the results of the operation:

A foreign body on Korolev's intestine is not a polyp, but a tumor.

Just a tumor is easy to treat, and it is a piece of cake for the doctors here, but no one expected that because of the exile experience in his youth and the long-term heavy work, Korolev's heart suffered arteriosclerosis, and there was an accident during the operation.

Sergei Pavlovich Korolev died on the same day at the age of 59 because his heart could not bear the burden of surgery, and he had just celebrated his birthday on the 12th.

While there was a mourning outside the operating room, a mass of consciousness was carried through the hospital and flew to an unseen height.

……

Modu, Modu Microelectronics Company.

Huaxin International, Modu Huahong, Unisplendour Semiconductor and many other companies are blocked here and are putting pressure on Modu Microelectronics.

The world's four largest lithography machine manufacturers: ASML in the Netherlands, Canon and Nikon in the island countries, and Modu Microelectronics.

At present, Modu Microelectronics can mass-produce a 90nm lithography machine, but after multiple exposures, it can produce 28nm chips, and even theoretically the extreme limit can be 22.5nm.

However, the yield rate of multiple exposures is somewhat low, so Modu Microelectronics is developing the next generation of 65nm lithography machine, which is used to produce 28nm or 22nm process chips, and the yield rate is much higher.

The higher the yield, the lower the cost, the better the performance, this is the basic idea of the famous Moore's Law, the more advanced the process, in fact, the same cost will be exchanged for better performance.

The main driving force for several domestic semiconductor companies to urge Modu Microelectronics' 65nm lithography machine is Xinyuan's X321, X322 series and other dynamic memory businesses.

At present, the cost of using 90nm lithography machine to produce 28nm with multiple exposures is too high, and if it is a 65nm lithography machine with multiple exposures to produce 28nm process, the cost is only one-third of that of 90nm lithography machine.

One chip can make nearly 2,000 more profits!

To tell the truth, even the price of 28nm ternary chips now far exceeds the cost of TSMC or Samsung's same process, if it weren't for the fact that Xin'an Automobile is used in cars that can accept high costs and is willing to support domestic manufacturers, 90nm has been exposed to 28nm multiple times The low yield rate of these semiconductor manufacturers does not even want to do.

In fact, even the 28nm process has moisture, and each X321/322 series chip is a 45nm and 28nm mixed process, reducing the 28nm process area to make the yield rate barely acceptable.

Xin'an's behind-the-scenes talker is Lin Ju, why is Lin Ju willing to be a big resentment and spend a high cost to buy chips, isn't it just to stimulate the upgrading of domestic semiconductor manufacturers!

65nm is a hurdle, and if you go a little further than the 65nm lithography machine, you will enter the field of 28nm lithography machine.

What can a 28nm lithography machine do? This can produce 7nm and 5nm chips through multiple exposures, and they have been used until Lin Ju crosses the mainstream.

Even 14nm and 10nm can fully meet the needs of the consumer market.

Now, semiconductor manufacturers who have made a lot of money indirectly through Xin'an Automobile have begun to invest money in Modu Microelectronics to accelerate the research and development of 65nm lithography machines and subsequent mid-range DUV lithography machines.

However, in fact, there are factors promoted by the Commission of Science and Technology.

Huaxin International, Unisplendour, and Huahong are all state-owned enterprises, and they are willing to join forces with Modu Microelectronics, and they also have inside information:

The country is preparing for the construction of a ternary computer system!

Only a few people know this news, and the truth is unknown, but then the state-owned forces behind the three semiconductor companies began to promote the research and development of a higher process supporting system for Modu Microelectronics, striving to expand production and reduce costs.

The information that the ternary chip quietly produced by Xinyuan Company can match or even surpass the mainstream X86 architecture 14nm process with a 28nm backward process has been repeatedly verified by semiconductor experts in a few months.

Although the latter were deeply shocked by this sudden three-way system, and urged them to figure out the reason and solve this unscientific mystery at all, the superiors could no longer manage so much.

Examine? What to look for?

As a result of the start of the space race, economic exchanges with Aramco are still on the rise year by year, but the lockdown has become more and more severe, which can be felt by both high-level executives.

Now Huaguo's semiconductor industry, which has been lagging behind for more than 20 years, actually has the opportunity to overtake in the real corner, so we must seize it.

According to the report of the Commission of Science and Technology, 14nm technology will soon become obsolete, and the next few years will enter the era of less than 10nm, while the country cannot keep up with such a speed, and only 28nm can gradually mature in the short term to improve the yield rate.

So we can't lose this good opportunity to overtake in corners, and we must implement the three-way system as soon as possible!
