Chapter 1383 Rigorous Style
"Thank you very much!" Cruise said gratefully.

"It's nothing. In fact, it is an honor for Tianyin Group that Mr. Cruise can come to China to visit our company." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "I also hope to be able to cooperate with you "American Scientist" magazine. Establish long-term cooperation and business relationships. In the R&D center of Tianyin Group, there are also many top scientific research talents in the country. They are also capable of writing some high-level scientific papers, which can fully represent the highest level of our Chinese technology. When the time comes I also hope that both of us can have more exchanges and jointly promote the development of world science and technology."

"Your idea is very good. Our "American Scientist" magazine rarely had Chinese experts submit articles before, and it also lacked attention to your Chinese technology. Your country is making rapid progress now. I hope to see more from your China in the future. There are many excellent papers." Crews said sincerely.

Compared with American politicians, these American experts and scholars do have a very open spirit. It is precisely because of this that the United States has become the world's largest technological power in just 200 years of its founding.

"Mr. Duan, we want to witness the production process of this chip with our own eyes. Can you agree to our small request?" Robbins, a professor at the Department of Microelectronics Engineering at Princeton University, said to Duan Yun .

Obviously, Robbins and the others came to China this time, in addition to visiting Tianyin Group, the most important thing is to witness with their own eyes whether Tianyin Group has the ability to produce this new type of chip.

Academic fraud is also common in the United States. As a relatively serious professional academic journal, Scientific American must verify the authenticity of all aspects of new technologies. In addition, in the eyes of many Americans, China is poor and backward. Yes, they do not have the ability to produce advanced integrated circuits, so they have to verify for themselves to see if Tianyin Group has the ability to produce such chips.

"This... alright." Duan Yun hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed with his nod.

There are batches of chip production. Before the production of a batch of chips is completed, it is easy to never stop halfway. Every time a new type of chip is produced, the mask debugging equipment needs to be replaced again, which costs a lot of money. Time, this will undoubtedly affect production efficiency and benefits, especially at present Tianyin chip factory sends him tens of thousands of chips every day, and once it stops midway, the loss will be 10,000+ or ​​even several 10 yuan.

However, for the promotion of NAND flash memory chips, these losses are still very worthwhile. Moreover, these American experts have traveled thousands of miles to China. Their professionalism is still admired by many people. In addition, they are as influential as "Scientific American" It is also very important for Duan Yun and Tianyin Group to establish a good cooperative relationship with the media.

"Xiao Wu, replace the mask of the new chip and produce 20 wafers first, and let these foreign experts have a look." Duan Yun turned to Wu Gang who was standing behind him.

"Good Manager Duan!" Wu Gang responded, then turned and left the laboratory.

Next, under the leadership of Duan Yun, these American experts came to the production line.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, members of Wu Gang's team quickly replaced the new chip mask, reset the parameters of the lithography machine, and restarted the production line.

Soon, a batch of 20 wafers was sent to the alignment table of the lithography machine. Wu Gang skillfully set the program, and then pressed the start button.

As the lithography machine flashed blue lights one after another, after a few minutes of use, the first wafer was processed, and then sent to the inspection room for inspection, and finally the cutting of the chip began.

All the process was watched by these American experts. When the last packaging process was completed, Robbins immediately walked up to Duan Yun, pointed to a chip that had just been packaged and said, "Mr. Send us the chip?"

"Of course no problem." After Duan Yun responded simply, he asked the staff to put the dozens of packaged chips that had just been processed into a simple dustproof box, and then handed them over to Luo Binns et al.

"Thank you very much!" Cruise said gratefully after receiving the box of chips.

"I should be the one to say thank you. You have traveled so far to China to visit our company. This is an honor for Tianyin Group and me." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Mr. Duan, this is actually the case. We have carefully studied the manuscripts that your company submitted to our magazine before, but some data need to be scientifically tested and tested. We cannot publish it until all the parameters are confirmed. Articles from your company," Crews said.

"I understand this. Science is rigorous, and it all depends on experimental data. The chips I sent you just now can be used for testing. If there is any need for our group company to help, our company will do our best. Cooperate." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Thank you very much!" Cruise said gratefully.

"There is an old saying in China, what a joy to have friends coming from afar? So I hope that you can stay in China for a few more days, and I will do my best to let you feel the enthusiasm of our Chinese people..." Duan Yun frowned and said.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Duan, we are not here for a trip this time. If possible, we would like to fly back to the United States tonight..." Cruise said apologetically.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not easy for you to travel all the way to China..." Duan Yun asked in surprise.

"It's like this. I think the chip produced by your company is a very innovative product, which may cause huge repercussions in the entire world's chip industry. Therefore, our magazine office must complete the relevant verification of the paper as soon as possible. , make this news known to the world as soon as possible, so that all technology enthusiasts can share this remarkable technological achievement as soon as possible..." Cruise said sincerely.

"In this case, then I won't keep you guys." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "That's all right, I'll send you back to the hotel first, and then arrange relevant staff to help you buy air tickets. The air ticket for the second return trip will be paid by our group company."

"Thank you Mr. Duan for being so generous." Cruise didn't reject Duan Yun's kindness, but said gratefully.

"I wish you all the best." After Duan Yun finished speaking, he led the American experts out of the chip production workshop.
