Everyone in the entire hall couldn't help clenching their fists when they heard the news.

"Are there any alternatives now?" Minister He couldn't help but ask.

In a sense, 28nm chips are more significant than high-end chips!

Without high-end chips, top technology will suffer setbacks. Without 28-nanometer chips, many current devices will no longer be able to operate!

"No more." Minister Sun shook his head.

"28nm chips account for 70% of the chip market, and the demand is huge. Many companies can currently manufacture them. We have also made breakthroughs in this technology ourselves. However, the etching machine in this lithography machine was manufactured by the Japanese company TEPCO.

Supply, suddenly announced today that it will stop cooperating with us."

"Tepco? As far as I know, there is no such company among the companies that the United States has stipulated is not allowed to cooperate with us this time."

"Without them, the United States has restricted several other companies that can provide etching machines and is not allowed to do business with us. It has become a dominant company. So, it wants to use this as a threat!

"Minister Sun clenched his fists and said with a cold face.

"Want to take advantage of the situation?"

"Yes, now they are demanding that the price be tripled on the grounds of rising costs, and they also want to participate in the chip profit sharing." Minister Sun said with fists.

"Are they crazy?" someone asked angrily.

"If we don't agree, they will cut off the supply and refuse to renew the contract with us, and they will not participate in subsequent maintenance."

The etching machine currently in use is deep ultraviolet etching. The light source and lens are all consumables. If they cannot be maintained in time, the current inventory can only continue production for another week.

"It's too much to bully others! It's simply too much to bully others!" Everyone clenched their fists and couldn't help but curse!

The banquet, which was originally very exciting, has now become a bit depressing because of this news!

This is not only the problem of not being able to produce chips, but also the problem that after the supply of chips is cut off, the orders taken over by Longguo cannot be delivered on time, and they may face sky-high liquidated damages.

Even the market that was finally occupied before will once again form a market vacuum due to this supply cutoff and be occupied by other companies from other countries!

Under the chain reaction, the losses are countless!

"Professor Chen, I shouldn't bother you with this matter now, but since you have already entered the Institute of Optoelectronics, you have no choice but to do so." Minister Sun turned and looked at Chen Yang.

After hearing what Minister Sun said, everyone also looked at Chen Yang.

There is sympathy in the eyes!

They also heard that Professor Chen was going to the Institute of Optoelectronics and recently wanted to conquer the lithography machine. However, they did not expect that they would encounter such a disgusting thing just after they settled in the Institute of Optoelectronics!

As a result, not only the original equipment and raw materials cannot be purchased, but even the basic foundation cannot be preserved!

It will probably be even more difficult to achieve a breakthrough in photolithography machines.

"Don't worry, Minister Sun, I'm lucky, I'm not that fragile! What our Dragon Kingdom is best at is counterattacking under extreme pressure!

Back then, we were destitute, impoverished, faced with famine, Western sanctions, and the Russian bear's treacherous blockade. In the end, we succeeded in detonating the mushroom eggs!

Now, our conditions are not much better than those of our predecessors. Faced with these, we will not say that we are doing better than our predecessors, but I promise that we will not embarrass our predecessors!" Chen Yang said to Minister Sun.

Said to everyone.

"Good! You have backbone!" Minister Sun couldn't help but praise Chen Yang.

"That's right! In the face of many difficulties, our ancestors have stabilized this great country. Now, we will definitely pass on this fine tradition and not embarrass our ancestors." Minister He said again.

"We believe that Professor Chen and the scientists from the Institute of Optoelectronics will definitely be able to help us achieve a major breakthrough! When the time comes, we will also show these devils from TEPCO! You, I, are not easily defeated!"

Bang bang bang!

Everyone applauded vigorously!

Chen Yang put down his wine glass.

He said apologetically to everyone: "Minister Sun, Minister He, everyone, the matter is urgent, I can only go back now."

"Professor Chen, although the matter is urgent, it is not urgent at this moment. It is already past seven o'clock. You can finally relax for once and leave tomorrow."

"Yes, I heard that you have been working on research and development day and night for the past six months. If you continue like this, how will your body be able to bear it? Besides, you are still young and you still have a long time." Minister He also persuaded Chen Yang.

"Thank you everyone for your concern, but time waits for no one! I can't sleep well if someone pinches my neck every day! Now, for me, the best way to live is to build the etching machine, and then let those people

Get out!"

After hearing Chen Yang's words, the expressions on the faces of Minister He and Minister Sun became solemn!

Everyone put down their wine glasses.

"Professor Chen, thank you!"

"I'll arrange a special flight for you right away." Tu Hongbo said from the side.

"Professor Chen, I'll see you off." Chu Tiankuo quickly put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Chen Yang.

"Thank you everyone."

Chen Yang smiled, and then led Luo Tianchen outside!

Watching Chen Yang leave with a few people.

Tu Hongbo, Minister Sun, Minister He and others looked at each other, their eyes full of relief and appreciation!

"If the Dragon Kingdom has this son, it will be prosperous!"

Chu Tiankuo flew a helicopter directly to the Institute of Optoelectronics.

"Professor Chen, if you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me! As long as I can help, I will do my best!" Chu Tiankuo said seriously.

This time I participated in the air show and won first class merit, all thanks to Professor Chen!

"Thank you." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Go back and master the Tianwei-1. It is not a simple fighter, but an integrated air and space machine. Your mission is not just to drive it around and watch the scene." Chen Yang reminded with a smile.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Chu Tiankuo's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Professor Chen! I promise to train seriously and not embarrass you!"

…

Chen Yang returned to the Optoelectronics Institute again. Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, the Optoelectronics Institute was still brightly lit at this moment!

The general conference room has a solemn atmosphere!

"Currently, Japan Electric Power has stopped shipments this week and requires us to sign this agreement. If we don't sign this agreement this week, they may consider adding other terms, and their attitude is very tough!" said the president of Loongson Semiconductor.

Manager Zhao Jianing reported emotionally to everyone present.

Loongson Semiconductor is an affiliated industry of the Institute of Optoelectronics, contributing half of the revenue to the Institute of Optoelectronics, and has also made outstanding contributions to the development of semiconductors in Longguo. It is precisely based on this that Loongson Semiconductor has become a key target of sanctions by the United States this time.
