Chapter 379: Amazing Equipment
There were many soldiers armed with assault rifles standing around the truck. They were standing in scattered positions, seemingly on guard and preventing anyone from approaching.

In addition, in the center of the area where the soldiers were on guard, stood two people in military uniforms.

One of them was an old man with a kind face and a faint smile, and the military rank on his shoulder showed that he was a general with a distinguished status.

The middle-aged man next to him was a colonel-level officer, and his military rank was also not low.

There were murmurs of discussion among the crowd.

"What's going on? An admiral personally delivered two large devices. What are these two devices?"

"I don't know, I can't tell!"

"I can't tell, but I think it must be a very amazing device!"

"Nonsense! The equipment sent by the Admiral himself must be extraordinary!"

"..."

There were more and more whispered discussions. These people didn't know Song Haiqing's identity, what equipment he sent, or what it was for.

Just then, a small voice said, "Look over there, Mr. Zheng is coming!"

Everyone looked and saw a military open-top jeep driving towards them, with Zheng Xuebing sitting in the passenger seat!

Zheng Xuebing is the director of the 362 Military Factory and also a professor who studies chip equipment. He has made contributions to the development of domestic chip equipment.

In addition, he is also good at research in many fields such as firearms research and ballistic missiles, and is therefore deeply respected by scientific researchers.

……

The jeep stopped in front of the cordon set up by the guards.

Zheng Xuebing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was immediately surprised when he saw the photolithography machine on the large truck trailer.

He felt a realistic aura from the lithography machine, which made him even more eager to start verifying its authenticity.

As a result, his heart beat faster, and he quickly pushed open the windowless door, got out of the car, and walked quickly towards Song Haiqing and Gao Liang in front of him.

The guards on duty did not stop him and allowed him to walk towards Song Haiqing because they knew he was the person the minister was waiting for.

Zheng Xuebing walked up to Song Haiqing, stood still, and raised his hand to salute with a standard and graceful movement.

Song Haiqing and Gao Liang also raised their hands in return.

Song Haiqing was more than ten years older than Zheng Xuebing. He put down his hand, looked at Zheng Xuebing and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I came here as soon as I received the news. You should have called me before you arrived." Zheng Xuebing also responded with a smile.

"Haha." Song Haiqing waved his hand, without saying anything more, and went straight to the point: "Go up and take a look first, I have prepared the ladder for you."

After saying that, Song Haiqing pointed to the ladder next to the trailer. It was already prepared for him and was waiting for him to go up and take a look.

"Okay!" Zheng Xuebing replied, then turned around and walked quickly to the ladder that was prepared nearby.

He stepped on the ladder and began to climb up.

It is called a ladder, but it is actually just steps, similar to the steps you use to get on a train, so there is no danger at all.

Seeing his anxious look, Song Haiqing couldn't help but smile.

The scientific researchers watching nearby were curious when they saw Zheng Xuebing trying to climb onto the trailer.

What is Mr. Zheng going to do? The researchers watching were puzzled.

……

These people didn't know Song Haiqing's identity, nor did they know what the two devices were.

Zheng Xuebing stood on the trailer, with the lithography machine right in front of him.

Since the width of the lithography machine is more than five meters, and the width of the trailer of this large truck is seven meters, and the lithography machine is placed in the middle, the distance from the lithography machine to the edge of the trailer is only half a meter.

Of course, there won't be any problem as long as you move carefully.

Zheng Xuebing didn't care about the distance under his feet. He couldn't wait to walk forward along the length of the lithography machine, observing carefully as he walked!

As Song Haiqing looked at the scene on the trailer, a smile appeared on his face, and his heart was both nervous and full of anticipation!

Of course, he has also considered Zheng Xuebing's safety.

With so many guards on guard around the truck, even if Zheng Xuebing accidentally stepped on empty air, they would be able to support him in time and ensure his safety.

As Zheng Xuebing walked, he carefully observed the lithography machine, with a smile on his face: "It really looks like the real thing!"

When he saw it for the first time just now, and now observing it up close, he felt that this lithography machine was real, and a realistic feeling came over him!

Zheng Xuebing naturally hoped that this was a real lithography machine.

Therefore, the more it seemed to be true, the more excited he became!
Zheng Xuebing slowly walked to a screen next to the lithography machine and stopped to stare at it.

As an authoritative professor in the development of lithography equipment, he easily identified the function of this screen.

This is a CNC screen that is specifically used to monitor various values ​​in the chip manufacturing process and detect whether there is any damage.

"The simulation degree of this CNC screen is really high. I hope it's not just a simple glass with black paper pasted on it." The corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he muttered to himself in his heart, fearing that this was just a clever disguise.

He reached out and lightly touched the screen, intending to verify the authenticity by touch.

After all, electronic displays feel completely different from ordinary glass.

At the touch, his brows relaxed instantly and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It's a real display! Not a sticker!" he announced excitedly, adding a bit of authenticity to the lithography machine.

He couldn't help but touch it again, but accidentally left a messy handprint on the screen.

However, he didn't care and continued walking forward.

The lithography machine was more than thirty meters long. After he walked to the end, he turned to the side and began to carefully inspect the other side.

He observed as he walked, not missing any details, such as buttons, display screens, shell cover switches, etc. He confirmed them one by one, and they all appeared extremely real.

Especially the shell cover switch. When you press it, the shell cover actually rises slowly, revealing the workbench inside that is full of mechanical and technological feel, just like a real lithography machine.

However, after observing this, Zheng Xuebing frowned and felt a little confused.

He always felt that this lithography machine seemed to be missing something.

"What's missing?" he muttered to himself. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. "It's the main control computer! It's the core of the lithography machine!"

The main control computer is responsible for operating the lithography machine to manufacture chips and is the brain of the lithography machine.

Without it, the lithography machine cannot work properly.

He muttered to himself that perhaps he had not observed carefully enough and missed the location of the main control computer.

After all, he had never seen the lithography machine of ASM Company in Lanzhou, so how could he know where their main control computer was located?
Thinking of this, he decided to check it again carefully.

If he still can't find the main computer, he can only contact Wang Yang for inquiries.

Zheng Xuebing was nervous and excited, and he sincerely hoped that this was a real lithography machine, not a model. As he walked back, he carefully examined the shell of the lithography machine and gently felt around with his hands, trying to find the main control computer.

The researchers around saw this scene and cast curious glances and whispered about it. However, Song Haiqing did not ask any more questions and just observed silently.

Just as Zheng Xuebing was about to walk past the CNC display screen, his hand suddenly touched an area the size of a mobile phone. This area seemed a little abrupt, and he pressed hard with an idea.

I saw a part of the photolithography machine slowly lowered, designed like an ancient city gate.

Zheng Xuebing was stunned, and then realized that this might be the location of the main control computer.

He quickly stepped aside to avoid being hit by the falling device.

When the device was completely lowered, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was an embedded keyboard and touchpad with many buttons on it.

More importantly, there is a display screen hidden inside!

"It really is the main control computer!" He was ecstatic, and was 80% sure in his heart that this was a real lithography machine.

To confirm that everything was correct, he decided to take the last step - starting the lithography machine.

If it boots up and produces chips, then everything is settled.

He carefully closed the main control computer again, making sure it fits tightly against the lithography machine casing.

Then, he continued to walk forward along the lithography machine and came in front of Song Haiqing.

Seeing that he had finished the examination, Song Haiqing couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?"

"Minister, from the appearance, this lithography machine looks very realistic. I am 80% sure that it is a genuine product. Now, we just need to conduct a startup test to determine its authenticity." Zheng Xuebing replied with a smile on his face.

"Okay! Let's get started!" Song Haiqing was also very excited.

Soon after, the lithography machine was placed in a large dust-free enclosed workshop.

Song Haiqing, Zheng Xuebing and Gao Liang wore dust-proof suits and prepared for the final test.

After everything was ready, Song Haiqing turned to look at Zheng Xuebing: "Professor Zheng, we can start now."

"Yes!" Zheng Xuebing responded. He walked to the main control computer of the lithography machine and pressed the familiar button.

I saw a small part being pressed down, and a device slowly dropped down from the bottom - an embedded keyboard and touchpad.

He glanced around and quickly found the start button.

Taking a deep breath, he reached out and pressed the decisive button.

After a beep, the signal light on the keyboard lit up.

At the same time, a roar was heard from inside the lithography machine, as if heralding the birth of new life.

A satisfied smile appeared on Zheng Xuebing's face, and Song Haiqing and Gao Liang also smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy and anticipation.

After a while,

The main control computer screen in front of Zheng Xuebing slowly lit up, showing an empty command interface, waiting for instructions to be input.

Not far away, a large display screen also quietly started up and stayed in standby mode, waiting for the device to be activated.

This scene made Song Haiqing and the other three people stunned, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

Song Haiqing quickly recovered from his shock, his face filled with excitement, and he hurriedly urged Zheng Xuebing: "Professor Zheng, hurry up! Keep operating, don't stop!"

Zheng Xuebing turned his head and met his eyes, and instantly understood what he meant.

He refocused on the computer in front of him, took a deep breath, calmed his inner shock and excitement, and continued with the operation at hand.

……

Soon after.

Zheng Xuebing wore white insulating gloves and held a pair of tweezers, which firmly clamped a 7nm chip.

His face was filled with surprise, shock, and a hint of disbelief.

Song Haiqing and Gao Liang were also immersed in this shock.

This chip is the latest product of the lithography machine!
"Minister, this... this is really a photolithography machine!" Zheng Xuebing's voice trembled, his eyes fixed on Song Haiqing. The tweezers in his hand shook slightly, revealing his inner excitement.

Seeing this, Song Haiqing's heart tightened and he quickly reminded: "Professor Zheng, be careful! Don't let this precious chip fall to the ground!"

Such concerns are not unreasonable, because this is the first chip produced by the lithography machine, so it naturally needs to be cherished.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xuebing carefully placed the chip in a plastic insulating tray.

Then, he turned to Song Haiqing and said with emotion: "Minister, you are right! When you mentioned this matter before, I was hopeful but not completely sure."

Zheng Xuebing’s doubts are not surprising. After all, how could an online influencer buy a lithography machine from ASM in Lanzhou?
Even those big companies and countries find it difficult to do so!
However, it has now successfully manufactured a chip, proving its true identity.

"Haha." Song Haiqing chuckled when he heard that.

In fact, he had doubts before. Wang Yang’s statement of obtaining the lithography machine through price competition was too bizarre.

But now it seems that what Wang Yang said was true, he did buy the F22 fighter jets and lithography machines at a price advantage!
"It seems that Wang Yang is really capable of using price advantages to obtain things that even the country finds difficult to obtain!" Song Haiqing was deeply moved, with an excited smile on his face.

"That's true!" Gao Liang quickly agreed, his heart also filled with shock.

They had discussed before that even if Wang Yang could buy an F22 fighter jet, he would never be able to buy a lithography machine.

But now, the lithography machine is in front of him, which proves that his price competition strategy is real and effective!

Otherwise, how could he purchase both F22 fighter jets and the lithography machines needed for high-end chip production at the same time?

How do you explain all this?
The authenticity of the lithography machine was verified, and Wang Yang's remarks were therefore confirmed, so Song Haiqing and his party left.

The two precious lithography machines were left at the 362 Military Factory. After all, such treasures should naturally be left to professionals to take care of.

On the way back to the National Academy, Gao Liang was still feeling uneasy.

He really couldn't imagine that Wang Yang could buy such expensive equipment through a price war!

You know, even if the country steps in to buy at a normal or slightly higher price, it may not be successful.

This thought shocked him even more, almost to the point of being unbelievable.

He turned to look at Song Haiqing and said with emotion: "Minister, Wang Yang is really amazing!"

He made no secret of his admiration.

Upon hearing this, Song Haiqing nodded slightly, with a kind and emotional smile on his face.

He knew very well that it was not easy to get the other party to significantly reduce the price.

It is simply unbelievable how Wang Yang did it.

However, although he was curious, he did not delve into it further and planned to find an opportunity to ask Wang Yang in person.
