242 The Most Critical Question

In Tianyi City, the testing of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine was finally over.

The engineers from the National Chip Company tested all the parameters of the machine over 20 hours.

Li Chengqian’s introduction on the machine was already shocking enough.

But the results of their test were even more shocking than what Li Chengqian had said.

The production speed of 450 mm diameter silicon slices reached 360 slices per hour!

It was 60 slices more than the 300 slices that Li Chengqian had stated.

In a month, the number of silicon chips that could be processed increased by a total of 43,000! The number reached an astonishing 259,000!

This production capacity was 1.5 times that of a usual lithography machine!

At the same time, through the test, the engineers also discovered something else.

If there were no issues with the other production steps of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine, the pass rate could reach 99.5%, which was 1.3 percentage points higher than 98.2% as Li Chengqian had stated.

Do not underestimate 1.3%.

When the number of chips produced was in the hundreds of millions, an increase of 1.3% would allow the products produced to be more competitive.

The lithography machine had been operating at full power for 20 hours. The engineers had installed a large number of temperature sensors around the machine. Even when it was operating at maximum power, the highest temperature was only 43 degrees.

This temperature ensures that the lithography machine can operate steadily for a long time.

In the lithography room, the engineers installed a light source test sensor to record the energy and attenuation of the light source!

The result was unbelievably good.

The energy attenuation of the light source was very small. Even if it was continuously used, the light source in this lithography machine could be used for at least a year. The usage time was more than two times that of the ASML lithography machine.

Wang Yizhi looked worn out.

Ever since he came to the factory of the Divine Dragon Software Company, he had never left, nor had he closed his eyes to rest.

Although he felt extremely tired, his spirits became higher and higher as he completed the tests one by one.

At this moment, the person in charge of this test, Wang Ben, had already sorted out the test reports and was going through them with Wang Yizhi one by one.

“… President Wang, after testing, the Divine Dragon Model 1 photolithography machine should be the most advanced DUV lithography machine in the world!”

“All the benchmarks of this lithography machine have surpassed the ASML DUV lithography machine.”

Just as the two of them were communicating, Academician Lin Qu, Academician Ji Cheng, and Li Chengqian walked in happily.

Academician Lin Qu and Academician Ji Cheng were both old and in poor health.

They were worried about the health of the two academicians.

So the night before, Li Chengqian and Wang Yizhi insisted on bringing them to the hotel to rest.

Even so, the two of them woke up before dawn.

The two of them were worried about the test results of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine. At the break of dawn, they were going to secretly take a taxi to the factory in the small desert.

When Li Chengqian realized this, he was afraid that something would happen to the two of them, so he could only get up and come over with the two academicians.

“Li Chengqian, I think there are only five days left until the university entrance examination… What exactly are you thinking?” As he walked in, Academician Lin Qu asked again.

All the famous schools in Divine Dragon Country had sent Li Chengqian an admission invitation.

The Academy of Sciences did the same. Under Academician Lin Qu’s arrangements, they had long sent Li Chengqian a special admission invitation.

It wasn’t only the schools in Divine Dragon Country that had sent Li Chengqian admission invitations.

As far as he knew, all the famous universities in the world had sent Li Chengqian invitations too.

Everyone was looking forward to Li Chengqian’s response.

However, up until now, no school had received a response from Li Chengqian.

“Academician Lin Qu, I haven’t thought about it yet! I want to wait until the university entrance examination results are out.” Li Chengqian shook his head and didn’t dwell too much about this matter.

The university entrance examination was Li Chengqian’s greatest regret in his previous life. It bothered him the most.

In this life, he had already achieved achievements that he did not even dare to imagine in his previous life. The wealth he controlled was so huge that he could not spend it all in ten lifetimes.

Logically speaking, it didn’t matter to him no matter how many points he scored in the university entrance examination.

However, he still decided to take the university entrance examination.

He wanted to make up for the biggest regret in his previous life. He wanted to do this for himself.

“Li Chengqian, no matter how many points you score, the Academy of Sciences will accept you!” Academician Lin Qu said with a smile.

“Although with your knowledge, we can’t teach you much even if you come to the Academy of Sciences… but us old fellows are still useful. Our words still carry some weight. We can shield you from some storms and allow you to focus on research and technology.” Academician Lin Qu said very seriously.

“That’s right! You’ve already surpassed us in scientific research and knowledge! But us old fellows are also useful. We can stand behind you and support you!” Academician Ji Cheng also nodded solemnly.

Li Chengqian could clearly sense their sincerity. He could also feel their protection and… concern!

As the ancient saying goes, a tall tree catches the wind!

Li Chengqian was too outstanding. He was simply as dazzling as the sun.

Especially Li Chengqian’s Divine Dragon Software Company. It had always been Li Chengqian’s alone. A company that could create hundreds of billions of profits a year made many people turn green with envy.

In addition, Li Chengqian was only 17 years old. He had no background and gave people the impression that he was easy to bully. This made many people even more tempted.

Of course, Li Chengqian was currently carrying out a major task that concerned the development and safety of the country. Many people had been warned, so they did not dare to take action.

The Divine Dragon System, the domain name server, and the lithography machine that was currently being developed!

These were all national issues. Whoever dared to cause trouble would be in trouble!

Once all these strategic goals were completed, the development of the Divine Dragon Software Company would stagnate, and it would not be so important to the development of the country.

Many greedy vampires would then pounce on Li Chengqian and suck his blood.

“Thank you for your guidance and instruction!” Li Chengqian naturally knew the hidden meaning in their words. He shook his head and still didn’t agree.

In fact, he understood the situation even better than Academician Lin Qu and Academician Ji Cheng.

After all, Bai Ze would gather relevant intelligence on the internet round the clock.

Hearing Li Chengqian’s words, Academician Lin Qu sighed with a face full of regret. “I really don’t know what this kid is thinking.”

“However, regardless of whether he comes to the Academy of Science or not, if he encounters any difficulties, I still have to help if I can.”

As they spoke, they walked towards Wang Yizhi.

When Wang Yizhi saw the three of them walk over, he immediately put down the test report in his hand. He stood up excitedly and rushed over to Li Chengqian. The way he looked at Li Chengqian was filled with admiration.

After Wang Yizhi greeted the two academicians, he looked at Li Chengqian and said anxiously, “President Li, your company is really amazing!”

“The Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine has been tested and completely meets the requirements of the National Chip Company!”

“However, I still have a few last questions that I need to verify with President Li.”

“President Wang, please speak.” Li Chengqian nodded and smiled.

“First question, how much are you prepared to sell this lithography machine for?” Wang Yizhi stared straight at Li Chengqian.

“The second question I want to ask is, what is the production quantity of the lithography machine? Can you let us take a look at the production company for the light source, lens, and ultra-precision electric motor?” After testing, Wang Yizhi had already confirmed that the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine completely met the needs of the National Chip Company.

It was more advanced than the company’s original lithography machine.

It was more advanced than the lithography machine that the company was preparing to order from ASML!

There was no problem with the quality of the machine.

Now, as long as he confirmed the production of the lithography machine and whether it could really be mass-produced, he could make the next decision.

As long as he could obtain a definite answer from Li Chengqian, he could let Huang Jun and the others return directly.
