Technological Empire Starts From Shanzhai System

  Chapter 222 Official test of lithography machine!

   "My company, Suoni, must develop its own smart set-top box."

   Feeling that hiding in the deep water is a terrible danger, Shinichi Dego said with a firm face.

  Of course, at this time, Lin Xuan didn't know what happened at the headquarters of Daoguo Suomu Company.

  At this time, he is concentrating on studying the etching machine, and preparing for the official test of the etching machine two days later!

  …

   March 14, 2005.

   There is only one day until the official test of the lithography machine.

   Today, almost all news media have begun to reduce other reports, and instead focus on Hantang Technology and Lin Xuan.

   At the same time, various Internet "experts" do not seem to stop.

   Seeing that Lin Xuan could be discredited with great difficulty, he also spoke out to discuss whether Lin Xuan could accomplish this.

  At this time, in a well-known variety show in Bay Island, Chen Damou of TSMC is answering the opinion of the hostess:

   "I think it is absolutely impossible for Lin Xuan to accomplish this, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed at one time. Of course, I think that with the strength of the five academicians and Lin Xuan's super brain.

  The lithography machine may be manufactured in half a year, but this time it will definitely face the failure of the test machine. It is impossible to successfully develop it once!

  So I suggest that you don’t have too much expectation. After all, if the lithography machine is really so easy to make, it will not be like this now that only a few countries can manufacture lithography machines.

   It will not be like now, there are only two or three manufacturers that can manufacture advanced lithography machines. "

   "So it turns out that Mr. TSMC is not optimistic about Lin Xuan's breakthrough in the 45nm process technology."

  The host nodded at this time, and then asked:

   "Then, what do Mr. Chen Damou think when Hantang Technology will be able to overcome the 45nm process technology?"

   "My opinion is that you don't have to think about it in 3 years!"

  Chen Damou expressed his opinion seriously, only to see him express his opinion slowly:

  “The 45nm process technology is the most advanced process technology in the world. The global investment in the research and development of 45nm process technology is no less than tens of billions of dollars!

  At this time, in the situation of Hantang Technology, they didn’t need to think about conquering the lithography machine for half a year, and they didn’t need to think about winning the 45nm process technology for more than three or four years!

  The reason why it is said that it will take three or four years to complete is because they have dispatched 5 academicians and such a huge scientific research force.

  If only relying on Hantang Technology alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to handle it in ten or twenty years! "

  Hearing Chen Damou's words, the hostesses at the scene, including the audience, nodded one after another. At the same time, the audience in the Bay Island area in front of the TV also nodded one after another.

  The Bay Island area has advanced technology and a prosperous economy. It can be said that it is now the four Asian tigers. The people here are not optimistic about Lin Xuan's ability to conquer the 45-nanometer process technology.

  Listening to Chen Damou's words at this time, they seemed to have found a psychological support, and they all nodded in agreement with Chen Damou's words.

  Because they really don't want to admit the fact that Daxia will surpass them. If that happens, their self-esteem will be hit.

   And their mentality is not only present, even in the future, after all, their technology was indeed more advanced than that of Daxia at a certain time...

  So at this time, Chen Damou's words met their psychological expectations.

   At this time, the hostess did not stop her words, but she paused slightly and asked slowly:

   "Then can I ask Mr. Chen Damou? What is the current yield rate of TSMC's 45nm process technology? Have we mastered the mass production technology of 45nm chips?"

  Hearing the hostess' question, Chen Damou smiled confidently and said:

   "Thanks to the strong sponsorship and orders from many international giants such as Motorola, Lianfa, and Cisco.

  The yield rate of our 45nm process technology has reached 60%, and this yield rate is still advancing rapidly.

  According to this progress, we have reason to believe that we can make our good product rate reach 90% before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and reach more than 95% before the end of the year! "

  When the people at the scene heard Chen Damou's words, they immediately became uproarious, and looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

  The face of the hostess was also a little excited, and she sighed proudly:

   "It seems that our Bay Island area is the first area in the world to master the mass production of 45nm process technology!"

   At the same time, it’s not just the hostess who feels proud, many audience members including the audience in the Bay Island area in front of the TV also smiled proudly...

  …

  When the TV program on Bend Island talked about the 45nm process and Lin Xuan, Daxia didn't stop.

  At this time, on a certain Hunan Satellite TV, Wang Shining, the new head of Zhongxin International, also slowly said that he was not optimistic about Lin Xuan.

  At this time, he is trying his best to belittle Lin Xuan, belittle Hantang Technology, and belittle Professor Chen, the head of Qian Zhongxin International.

  Wang Shining was one of the many talents who followed Professor Chen from TSMC to establish Zhongxin International. At this time, they left with Professor Yang and the core backbone.

  Naturally, Zhongxin International could only short the general and let Wang Shining take the stage.

  Wang Shining was originally just a manager of the sales department. At this time, Professor Chen and the others left with their core talents.

  Because he refused to leave, he won the appreciation of many shareholders when the short man pulled out the general, so he took over the CEO position of Professor Chen logically.

   "...Lin Xuan is a guy who likes to brag. Look at his bragging at industry summits. Which one has he achieved?

   What "triple play" he proposed, including "Industry 4.0", did he make something himself?

No!

  So Lin Xuan likes to brag, this time Lin Xuan must fail. "

  At this time, Wang Shining was talking eloquently about his views, with hatred in his eyes.

   Completely forgot what Lin Xuan paid when Lin Xuan improved the 45nm process technology for Zhongxin International? What did Zhongxin International get in the end?

  The so-called white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it may be like this!

  Of course, it is not surprising that Zhongxin International, whose overseas shareholders account for more than 80% of the shares, has seen this scene.

   It’s no wonder that Zhongxin International in the previous life couldn’t get up, it’s really a sad sigh.

  …

   Time passed slowly.

  Yesterday, the remarks made by various experts in the field of electronic semiconductors and even the presidents of well-known companies have caused a lot of discussion and clamor in Daxia.

   But these hustle and bustle and discussions did not affect nearly 2,000 reporters waiting for the latest news at the Hantang Semiconductor headquarters in Wuxi City.

  That’s right, the 45nm EUV lithography machine is not assembled at Xia Keyuan, after all, the lithography machine is manufactured for use.

  The purpose of its manufacture is not to design it for display, and then let the above accept the results, which means that the research and development is completed.

  The purpose of the lithography machine is to produce chips, so the post-assembly verification test cannot be completed by the Academy of Sciences.

   Then pull this lithography machine back to Hantang Technology all the way, which is a waste of too much time.

  Besides, the lithography machine is an ultra-precision component after all, which cannot withstand bumpy road transportation.

  So reporters who knew where the lithography machine was at this time surrounded the gate of Hantang Semiconductor, but Lin Xuan, including the core executives, did not come out at this time.

  Hantang Semiconductor's own company is not Xia Ke Academy, so even if there are many reporters waiting anxiously in front of the gate this time.

   But Lin Xuan just arranged for people to bring them fast food and tea, nothing else.

  No matter how much they called, Lin Xuan didn't come out to answer anything, but was busy completing his work while waiting for the lithography machine test.

   Time passed slowly like this. After the official ribbon-cutting and start-up was announced at 9:00 a.m., Hantang Semiconductor was in a busy state.

  At this time, in addition to the 2,000 reporters at the gate of Hantang Semiconductor, many management leaders such as the dean and vice president of the Xia Ke Academy also took time out of their busy schedules to come to Hantang Semiconductor to prepare for on-the-spot acceptance of the results.

   Lin Xuan also readily agreed to this, anyway, there are not many people, since they want to see it, let them see it.

   "Li Zheng, do you think it will be successful?"

   At this time, behind the group of reporters, some equally anxious citizens were anxiously waiting for the latest news.

  The lithography machine is related to the future of Daxia Semiconductor, and it is the most difficult thing in the 45nm process technology.

  If the lithography machine can be successfully solved this time, it means that the progress of the 45nm process technology has been pulled to 40% at once.

  So at this time, in front of the gate of Hantang Technology, there are also many people waiting for the latest news.

  In addition, on the Internet and even in the streets and alleys, many people are also anxiously waiting for the news from Hantang Technology.

   Whether the lithography machine can succeed, whether it is a failure or a success... They are also anxiously waiting when they are uneasy.

   In this way, time passed bit by bit, and people became more and more anxious as time passed.

  At this time, as the time approached noon, many people couldn't help but want to leave directly to have a meal because they were hungry.

   "It's been a long time. From 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock, there is no movement at all. At this time, I feel like I am waiting for the birth of a child."

  Among the crowd, a young man said something depressingly.

   Waited for several hours, but there was no news at all. No one knew whether the lithography machine succeeded or failed. This made them very anxious and depressed.

   "Someone is out!"

  Beside the young man, someone let out an exclamation.

  Instant!

  Everyone turned their attention to the front.

  At this time, Professor Chen, the president of Hantang Semiconductor, was leading Lin Xuan and some dignified people out slowly.

   "Mr. Lin, is the lithography machine successfully developed?"

   "Mr. Lin, what do you think of the words of Wang Shining, the president of Zhongxin International?"

   "Mr. Lin, what do you think of the words of Chen Damou, the president of TSMC?"

   "Mr. Lin, are the test results out now?"

   "Mr. Lin..."

  As Professor Chen led Lin Xuan slowly to the gate of Hantang Semiconductor, countless reporters raised their microphones and asked their questions.

   But because there were too many reporters, a large number of questions were asked at the same time, and the scene was full of noisy voices.

   "Everyone, please be quiet."

   At this time, a man in a suit and leather shoes shouted, and then handed a microphone to Professor Chen.
