Chapter 824: Light Chasing Operation (4)

Before Wang Shoujue could say anything, Xu Duanyi on the other side hissed, and then said "Ouch"!
When Xu Duanyi heard Qing Yun's idea that lithography machines did not need to be miniaturized, he felt a strong sense of surprise and shock in his heart.

He has been working in the semiconductor field for many years and is well aware of the importance of miniaturization of lithography machines. He is also aware of the technical challenges and cost pressures behind it.

The miniaturization of lithography machines is not only a reflection of technological progress, but also the key to commercial production.

But this cheap apprentice's proposal broke the convention and put forward a brand new possibility, which made Xu Duanyi feel an unprecedented openness and freedom.

Driven by this emotion, Xu Duanyi subconsciously reached out to touch his beard. This was a habit he had developed over the years. Whenever he was deep in thought or surprised, he would unconsciously touch those old companions that had accompanied him for many years.

But this time, because he was too excited, he used too much force and accidentally pulled out a few strands of his beard.

The sudden pain made him utter an "ouch".

Everyone in the conference room was startled by the sudden sound and turned to look at Xu Duanyi. He was holding his chin with an expression of pain and embarrassment on his face.

Wang Shouwu asked with concern, "Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Only Mr. King dares to address him like that.

Not to mention the founder's status in the industry, his age of 84 alone is enough to make people feel that the name "Xiao Xu" is quite intimate.

Xu Duanyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, pointed at Qingyun, and touched his chin.

"Mr. Wang, I was so excited when I heard Xiaoqing's suggestion that I didn't pay attention. Ouch, it hurts so much when my beard is pulled out."

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yan Xiaolang joked: "Old Xu, you have sacrificed yourself for scientific research. You even sacrificed your beard."

Upon hearing this, Xu Duanyi could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He knew that he was really shocked by Qingyun's proposal this time.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Okay, okay, let's continue the discussion. Mr. Xiaoqing's idea has indeed opened a new door for us."

He paused, lit a cigarette and continued, "This is indeed a way!

The solution proposed by Qing Yun essentially regards the lithography machine as a fixed infrastructure rather than a precision scientific research equipment in the traditional sense.

The core idea of ​​this plan is that instead of pursuing the miniaturization and portability of the lithography machine, it should be treated as a large-scale industrial equipment, similar to a power plant or a water treatment plant.

In this plan, the lithography machine will be designed to be fixed in a specific production facility and dedicated to producing chips. The advantage of doing so is that it can bypass many technical difficulties related to miniaturization, such as precision machining and micro-environment control, while also reducing dependence on high-precision components. "

Wang Shouwu smiled and said, "This solution is indeed feasible. We don't have to worry about miniaturization. Many technical problems will be solved this way."

Huang Lingyi also added: "Yes, this way we can focus on solving performance issues and don't have to worry about other things for the time being."

Wang Shoujue proposed another idea: "In addition, we can also use some existing mature technologies to make some innovative modifications to adapt to our lithography machines!"

Having been used to talking about lithography machines all his life, he felt uncomfortable with the addition of the word "machine", but he was happy with the change.

He paused and continued, "Who the hell dares to talk about our patented technology? Even... I think, can we change this lithography machine into a lithography factory?

Anyway, Xiaoqing also said that he built a factory around the machine. Since he can build it, can other companies build it? Then does this become a basic facility similar to a power plant? "

Academician Wang Shoujue further proposed the idea of ​​considering lithography factories as national infrastructure, which means that the state can coordinate planning and concentrate resources on construction and maintenance, thereby reducing the R&D and production costs of individual enterprises.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yun couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

He is worthy of being called 'Mr. Wang' who built China's first homemade photolithography machine using two microscopes and a UV exposure lamp, and independently produced the mask plate for large-scale integrated circuits!
What's wrong with these people's brains?

In a few words, he restored the ideas of his successors a decade later.

It's just a pity.

Both 'Mr. Big Wang' and 'Mr. Little Wang' were born in the 10s and 20s, and have long passed their prime.

He sighed softly in his heart, but he couldn't say anything about being born at the wrong time.

Because not only the two Mr. Wangs, but every big boss present here has dedicated their entire lives to building China's semiconductor industry from scratch.

Now I am sitting here, trembling with fear as I hold a magnifying glass and struggle to read the documents, just because...

The current situation of the semiconductor industry having no successors.

Otherwise, he should have gone back to enjoy his retirement.

However, all the bigwigs present nodded when they heard this. They knew that although the new idea proposed by Qing Yun was a bit unorthodox, it provided a new direction for the development of China's semiconductor industry.

So, a group of people came up with ideas and suggestions on how to implement this plan.

After a long time, when the discussion gradually became clear and reached a consensus, Qing Yun took out another document from his briefcase.

At the same time, national security staff began to distribute briefcases to everyone present.

Mr. Da Wang rubbed his temples, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Xiao Qing, you are going to squeeze us old men dry. It's already dark."

Seeing this, Xiao Ya quickly arranged the working meal, "Seniors, please take a break and have dinner first."

However, the big guys at this time were not in the mood to eat. They were full of curiosity and anticipation about the document, and urged Qing Yun to start quickly.

"How can I eat now! Xiaoqing, don't keep us in suspense, hurry up." Xu Duanyi looked at the file bag in front of him and said impatiently. Qingyun smiled slightly, without being pretentious, and opened the file in his hand, "Seniors, let's eat and talk at the same time.

This is a list of technologies that Intel may transfer to Yanhuang Group, all of which are patented technologies from before the 90s.

I would like to ask all the seniors to help me with which technologies are needed and to prioritize them. "

As soon as Qing Yun finished speaking, the sound of opening document bags was heard in the conference room.

As the zipper sounds of the file bags rang out one by one, the leaders in the conference room took out the documents inside.

For a moment, the sound of shuffling papers became the only noise in the room.

However, as the contents of the document gradually revealed themselves, this peaceful atmosphere was replaced by an indescribable shock.

Li Guangnan's hand obviously paused on a page of the document, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be trying hard to digest the contents of the document.

There was an unconcealable surprise in his eyes, as if the door to a treasure trove was slowly opening to him.

Huang Lingyi stood up unconsciously, her eyes fixed on a certain technical description in the document, her lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something, but she was too excited to form words.

Mr. Da Wang, who couldn't read clearly, saw his cloudy old eyes getting brighter as the national security staff next to him whispered a series of technical terms.

Every noun hit his heart like a hammer.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, each tap revealing his inner excitement and recognition.

Academician Xu Duanyi was carefully examining the technical details in the document. His breathing gradually became rapid and a blush of excitement appeared on his face.

Every big boss present was deeply attracted by the contents of the document, and their faces were filled with desire for these technologies and infinite longing for the future.

After a while, Li Guangnan spoke first, with a hint of teasing in his tone, "Xiaoqing, are you treating us like a scrap recycling station? This is obsolete technology from at least a decade ago."

However, the walnut-shaped wrinkles on his face revealed his thoughts, and he couldn't suppress the smile even if he wanted to.

Huang Lingyi also shook her head and chuckled, "Indeed, these technologies are no longer competitive in today's international market.

But frankly speaking, it has a lot of reference value for us.”

Although the bigwigs present here expressed disdain for these "outdated" technologies, the gleam in their eyes betrayed their inner excitement.

Academician Wang Shouwu was more direct. He tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, stop trying to keep your apprentice in line!
Don't underestimate these old technologies, they are the cornerstone of the development of the semiconductor industry.

For example, the last generation of MOSFET process launched by Intel in 1982 and the H-Gate CMOS technology in 1985 are important building blocks for modern semiconductor technology.

Xiaoqing, if this is true, you have found a treasure! This will save us a lot of trouble. "

Wang Shoujue, who was always taciturn, also joined the discussion, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.
"Although these technologies seem a bit outdated now, they can help us fill in the gaps in our knowledge and provide valuable experience for our own research and development."

However, Qing Yun reminded them at this time, "Seniors, please don't be blinded.

Intel can't give us everything. This is a complicated negotiation process. I will try to ask for as much as possible, but you have to tell me what is most important.

I suggest choosing systematic technologies that completely fill in the gaps. Our goal is to establish the most basic industrial chain, and then use it as a cornerstone for independent iteration. "

All the masters present nodded in agreement after hearing this. They were all people who had experienced the hardships of scientific research, and they knew the importance of technical accumulation, and they also understood the meaning of "systematization" mentioned by Qing Yun.

Huang Lingyi sighed softly upon hearing this, with a hint of helplessness in her voice, "Indeed, each of these technologies is as precious as a pearl, but we must make a choice.

Xiaoqing is right. We should focus our efforts and start with the most basic industrial chain. "

Wang Shouwu also echoed: "Xiao Huang is right. We can't disperse our strength because of greed. We must make some choices and choose the technology that is most critical to our future development."

Mr. Xiao Wang stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "So..."

He was stunned for a long time, and said with a smile, "It's so painful. I really want them all."

Everyone echoed the sentiment, saying that they felt bad and couldn't choose any one. Faced with so many precious technologies, their excitement and confusion were obvious.

Qingyun comforted them: "It will happen in the future."

"Yes, yes." The bosses repeated, but their hearts were bleeding. They knew that each of these technologies was what they had dreamed of, but now they were in front of them, but they could only choose some of them. Only they themselves knew the pain.

But they all understood that Qing Yun was right. They needed to try their best to choose systematic technologies and those that completely filled the gaps, so as to achieve the greatest results within a limited time.

The atmosphere in the conference room became serious again, and the leaders began to carefully weigh the long-term impact of each technology, discussing which technologies could lay a solid foundation for China's semiconductor industry and achieve independent iteration and upgrading on this basis.

They know that this is not only a process of technology selection, but also a process of strategic decision-making.

Qing Yun stood there, quietly watching the discussion among the seniors.

Xiao Ya stood beside him, quietly looking at the resolute profile of the young man in front of her, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness unconsciously rising at the corner of her mouth.

The night is long, and the pursuit of light never stops;
The stars lead the way, and dawn finally arrives.
