Chapter 62 Breaking the Blockade Today is a special day. Jin Qiaoying, general manager of Xinghai Technology, Yun Yin, general manager of Xingyun Manufacturing, and Liu Jun, general manager of Xing Wireless (High Voltage Radio Branch). As well as Chairman Fan Ren, who had been 'lost contact' for a long time, they all gathered in front of a brand new building in the science and technology park. Today is a day worth celebrating. The Xinghai Chip Laboratory has been successfully completed and officially put into use. At the same time, the core equipment in the laboratory, ion implanters, etchers, chemical vapor deposition machines and electroplating equipment had all been installed and tested long before. Of course, there is also the one that was just brought from the Kyoto Optical Instruments Research Institute two days ago, which can be said to be the world's first five-nanometer lithography machine using radio technology. All this indicates that this chip laboratory now has the full capabilities to research, develop and produce graphene chips. Today is also the second anniversary of the establishment of Xinghai Technology. Standing next to Fan Ren was Liu Jun. The two of them looked at the reporters from several media outlets in front of the chip laboratory and were filled with emotion for a moment. Two months ago, the domestically produced 5-nanometer lithography machine was launched by Sinocore Technology with great fanfare.
Different from the previous half-hidden true and false ones, this time Guoxin Technology contacted all the industry insiders and major media headlines before the release. We even invited technical representatives from manufacturers in many application fields to witness the photolithography testing process on site. Once this bombshell news was released, it spread rapidly throughout the world at astonishing speed. At the same time, this milestone achievement also indicates that in the field of cutting-edge lithography machines, China has proudly announced the successful completion of all technical research and development of the five-nanometer manufacturing process, and has accomplished this feat completely independently. Looking at the development of the semiconductor field over the years, it is unprecedented in history for a single country to achieve such an achievement. No country in the world has done it before! Now, China has done it. Although the chip technology of the Baiyue Alliance has completed the technical research and development of 3-nanometer preparation and has been put into commercial use. But compared with the previous domestic 14nm process, China has taken a big step forward in this track. It is foreseeable that with the completion of the research and development of EUV lithography technology, the time to catch up with the world's advanced level will not be far away. What's more crucial is that the 5-nanometer lithography machine released by Guoxin Technology far exceeds similar products of Aspen Company of the Baiyue Alliance in terms of cost, energy consumption and lithography success. On the day the news was released, Aspen's stock price hit the limit down. The next day, the share prices of Fruit, Sanxin, Inter, AiMD, and Yiwei Technology, which is the leader in the GPU field with a market value of 20 trillion yuan, all plummeted. The entire Chinese internet was in a frenzy. In the cooperation list released by Guoxin Technology, although the four big words "Xinghai Technology" are inconspicuous, they have also been mentioned by some people. However, since Xinghai is not a company that manufactures application-end products, and solid-state batteries are classified as manufactured by Xingyun, it has not attracted much attention except for some companies downstream of the industrial chain. Just like now, although today is the day when the Xinghai Technology Chip Laboratory was established, not many reporters came after receiving the news. "Mr. Fan, may I ask why Xinghai Technology is interested in the chip field?" Fan Ren withdrew his inexplicable thoughts, looked at the reporter in front of him with a smile on his face but did not speak. "Mr. Fan does not accept any interviews. Hello, journalist friend. I am the general manager of Xinghai Technology. I will answer your questions on his behalf." Seeing this, Jin Qiaoying quickly stood beside Fan Ren, turned the reporter's microphone towards herself, and then said very skillfully: "As a high-tech enterprise, Xinghai Technology has made achievements in the fields of high-voltage radio and solid-state batteries, but as a high-tech enterprise, our goal has always been to devote ourselves to..."
Seeing this, Liu Jun held back his laughter and listened to her formulaic response to the reporter, and secretly gave her a thumbs up. Fan Ren secretly patted the guy's thumb and walked into the laboratory. "Hey, wait a minute." Liu Jun hurriedly followed. Austronesia, Sanshin Headquarters Materials Laboratory. Chief materials scientist Cui Zhixun was staring at the group of researchers in front of him with a nervous look on his face. There, a test phase that has been tested countless times is being carried out. After a long time, a young researcher trotted up to him with a report in his hand. "Professor Cui, this is still not right." The researcher handed over the report and lowered his head. Cui Zhixun took a deep breath, slowly took the report, and looked down at it. "Professor Cui, there were no problems before. The problem is still the same. After the final nanotube structure is formed, after the catalyst matures and metabolizes the biological cells, there are always some biological cells that cannot be completely metabolized. As a result, the purity of the prepared carbon nanotubes is always not up to standard." The researcher introduced with a distressed look on his face. This technical idea of graphene purification and carbon nanotubes is absolutely top-notch, but they have gone through a lot of experiments over and over again for several months, and the results remain the same. It is always the case that the final step of removing biological cells fails to completely catalyze all cells, leading to this embarrassing situation. "I understand. Let's stop the experiment for now. Use your brains and think about where the problem lies." Cui Zhixun yelled at the researcher in great annoyance, then quickly walked towards the office with the report. In the office, Jin Ze was sitting on the sofa. He looked up at Choi Ji-hoon who pushed the door open, his face gloomy. "Boss Jin, it still doesn't work. We..." "Asshole! Useless thing. The company spent over a billion on it, and you tell me it won't work? It was fine before, why did it fail at the end?" Jin Ze's tone was very angry. China had already announced that the development of the 5-nanometer lithography machine had been completed, but they were still stuck on the issue of raw material preparation and had made no progress. If we can't make the graphene chip before Xinghai, then everything we have done before will be meaningless. It can even be predicted that after Xinghai developed the chip and its status in the country rose, Sanxin's days in China would not be much better. It was the first time Choi Ji-hoon heard the Samshin heir swearing. Jin Ze had always given people the impression of a gentle smile, so it was obvious that he was indeed very angry. "Mr. Jin, our researchers have tried all the methods that can be tested over and over again, but the results are still the same. I think the problem lies with the catalyst." When Jin Ze heard this, he saw that Choi Ji-hoon seemed to be hesitant to talk, so he raised his chin to signal him to continue. "That's right, Mr. Jin. I suspect that the catalyst in this technical data is not this kind, but something else." Cui Zhixun's voice became lower as he spoke. What he meant was that the people who got the technology were fooled. After listening to this, Jin Ze's face showed anger and some doubt, and he fell silent. The office suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
"You go out first, I'll make a phone call." He took out his phone and waved his hand irritably. Choi Ji-hoon, who had been standing there without saying a word, hurried out and quietly closed the door. Jinze placed his hand on the string of numbers on the screen, his mind was briefly entangled, and finally he pressed the dial button. At the same time, in a dim basement of a villa in Rocky City, the United States. "You dare to play tricks on the direct descendants of the Samshin Jin family. I don't know whether I should say that you are bold or ignorant." "Don't fight, don't fight, I'll give you all the money, all of it, cough cough cough." Lu Youbin looked extremely embarrassed, half-kneeling and kowtowed repeatedly to a masked man in front of him. The man was wearing a mask so his face couldn't be seen, but from his voice one could tell he was about 30 or 40 years old. Hearing this, the man chuckled and shook his head. "It's not up to me. President Jin is very angry this time. This is not about money, do you understand? Forget it, there's no point in telling you this, since they're all dead anyway." After saying that, the man raised his hand and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at Lu Youbin. "I'll ask you again, what exactly are the ingredients of the catalyst?" "Don't kill me! Woohoo, I really don't know! That document is..." Lu Youbin kowtowed frantically, his lower body had already become incontinent due to fear, and he wished time could go back to the dinner table that night. 'boom' A touch of bright red splashed between Lu Youbin's eyebrows. "It seems that the bounty is not available. A life is really worthless." The man sighed, his tone full of regret.
