Chapter 104: Chapters 104, 105 The Divine Medicine for the ‘Core’ Disease (Subscription Bonus X2) Chapter 104: Chapters 104, 105 The Divine Medicine for the ‘Core’ Disease (Subscription Bonus X2) On the laser transmitter, gas ejects the laser, and the miniature lens captures it; in the darkness, a pure beam of extreme ultraviolet light passes through the vacuum tube, crossing layers of mirrors, and continually reflecting in the complex and precise instruments. At the electric reaction chamber, the plasma is transformed by the electric field, becoming brighter and purer. As the tip of the beam enters the final space where the Extreme Ultraviolet Light Knife is formed, a drop of absolute pure water falls, and the beam “hits” it! After refraction through the water, the wavelength of the extreme ultraviolet light further tightens, landing on the blank silicon base chip on the worktable. Following the computer program, it begins to draw on the nanometer-precision chip; it’s just testing for now, not engraving the chip according to its design, yet its precision is clear under the microscopic examination of a microelectronics microscope. This process, in reality, is just a moment! Electronic tones sound continuously: “Light source is stable!” “Light source intensity is qualified!” “Light source purity is qualified!” “Engraving precision, 3 nanometers, with an error of 0.1 nanometers.” “The second test begins!” Yan Rui presses down her excitement and shouts again. They will need to repeat the tests multiple times to confirm the stability and engraving precision of the Extreme Ultraviolet Light Knife. “The twentieth experiment, engraving precision, 3 nanometers, without error!” By the end of the second experiment, Yan Rui has stopped calling out for the next, for she knows, the world’s most advanced Extreme Ultraviolet Light Knife has truly been crafted! “Did we... succeed?” She murmurs to herself, looking at the others. The others are also looking at each other; at this moment, they are speechless, but He Xingzhou seems to already hear the pounding of their fierce heartbeats! This is the calm before a volcano erupts! Finally, an over eighty-year-old expert explodes with emotion! His voice trembling, tears streaming down, he says, “For this Extreme Ultraviolet Light Knife, how many comrades have gone from verdant youths to gray-haired elders!” As he says this, several other old experts, including some of the academicians, cannot help but moisten their eyes. Only they know, for this scientific achievement, they’ve given their lives! Academician Shi Cheng from the Shanghai Microelectronics Research Institute even grabs He Xingzhou’s arm, saying, “Mr. He, I must say thank you!” “Do you know? Three years ago, I was invited to visit Asmic Company in Europe. In front of our delegation, their designer said ‘Even if you had the blueprints, you Eastern people could not build a lithography machine!'” “At that time, we couldn’t refute them! Because we indeed did not have advanced lithography machines, whatever we said would sound utterly weak!” “Today, we’ve built it! This world’s precision Extreme Ultraviolet Light Knife, will forge the world’s most advanced Lithography Machine!” “We’ve built it!” His final voice was almost a shout! “We’ve built it!” everyone shouts together, some are laughing, some are crying, the emotional volcano finally erupts! He Xingzhou is also infected by this sentiment, celebrating with everyone! “Once the Extreme Ultraviolet Light Knife is assembled with the other equipment of the Lithography Machine, we will be officially able to start manufacturing high-end chips with 3 nanometer technology!” He Xingzhou loudly declares. “Gentlemen, the days of Shen Zhou being stifled by foreign chip restrictions are long gone!” “Clap, clap, clap...” In the lab, applause, laughter, and crying blend together. The camera in the lab records this scene. It will be recorded in the history of Shen Zhou Technology’s development; perhaps in a few years, it will be written into history textbooks just like Shen Zhou’s first atomic bomb explosion! After the Extreme Ultraviolet Light Knife assembly is completed, the other components are finished even faster. The components from factories all over the country converge to the Shanghai Microelectronics Research Institute, the first 3 nanometer process Lithography Machine in the country, and even the world, is about to be born! In the industrial zone on the outskirts of Shanghai, a brand-new factory is also undergoing modifications. Originally, this was a wafer plant invested by Huaxin Group, now it is to be fully transformed and will become the world’s first wafer plant capable of manufacturing 3 nanometer chips! He Xingzhou calculates the date, posting the latest status online: “Thirty days later, in Shanghai, let us witness the miracle together!” The last time He Xingzhou posted an update, it was spring, and now it has reached the end of summer. Seeing his sudden update, fans become active. “The author’s coming back from the dead???” “Warmly celebrate the return of the missing!” “The video updates are becoming less and less frequent!” “What’s about to be announced this time?” “He Xingzhou says it’s a miracle, it must be something important!” “Still a month to wait, hurry it up!” ... “Thirty days?” At Huawei Company, Xiao Dong also sees He Xingzhou’s update. He quickly asks his contact: “Is there any progress on the chip side?” The other side replies, “Indeed there’s progress, but it’s not convenient to disclose now, wait for Mr. He to announce it.” “Is there progress?” This news raises a glimmer of hope in Xiao Dong’s heart. These past few months have been the most difficult for Huawei Company, defeated in the high-end smart product market due to a lack of chips! “Is there a chance to break through the 10 nanometer chip process this time?” he thinks, “If we really have the technology for a 10 nanometer process Lithography Machine, the current situation of our company would be much better!” 10 nanometer process chips can already meet the needs of some high-end smart devices. It’s not that he doesn’t dare to hope, but previously Shen Zhou was still researching Lithography Machines with a process above 20 nanometers. To leap that far at once seemed a bit unrealistic.
