Xu Ming agreed to assist in the task of developing a lithography machine.

Originally, he didn't have to end up doing this, and he could do it in about ten years without following the steps.

But on the one hand, his wife Lan Mengxin asked him for help, which was a little difficult to refuse. After all, he was a man who spoiled his wife.

Secondly, he also wanted to know how difficult it would be to make a lithography machine. People who clamored that Xia Guo could not build advanced euv lithography machines were also very good to hit their arrogant faces.

Although, he used his own plug-in to slap in the face.

Finally, another purpose is to save some money and save some time, and strive to overcome the 3-nanometer chip process within three to five years... It is no longer the previous honest route of iterative evolution, it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

It’s better to get it right in one step!

If you get the top chip manufacturing equipment out, the Qiaofu has rice. Even if you can’t get the current mainstream 3 nanometers, you can still successfully get 5 nanometers. The minimum expectation must be 7 nanometers.

This will allow you to gain a place in the market.

Not only does it have a stunning effect, it can also quickly obtain a large number of OEM orders.

In short, Xu Ming plans to be a little busy and help conquer the euv lithography machine.

...

The next few months.

Xu Ming fell into a crazy busy life.

The average time I work on all kinds of big and small business every day is nearly 8 hours.

More than half of this time was contributed to the lithography machine research and development department.

I often go to work overtime on weekends, and my diligence is simply shocking.

Because after less than half a month of in-depth understanding, Xu Ming became interested in this job and gained great motivation.

In addition, since euv lithography machines are almost impossible to sell in China (even if the ban on sales is relaxed, the price has increased tenfold, the delivery cycle is long, and after-sales service is expensive, and it is just giving people money in vain), this market is blank. With the booming development trend of the domestic chip industry, the demand is at least 100 units.

As for the price, a 1 billion unit will definitely be in short supply.

Since that's the case, why not grab this market and swallow the whole piece of cake!

Total can be sold for 100 billion.

Excluding all costs, it is no problem to make 50 or 60 billion yuan.

Chip manufacturing companies expect to invest at least half of the cost of hundreds of billions of dollars.

Making money has become a huge driving force for Xu Ming to work hard.

He wanted the company's lithography machine research and development department to bring huge profits to the company first.

However, after Xu Ming worked hard to work.

Half a year has passed, and the euv lithography machine has not been successfully produced. It has encountered various fault problems. Even if it can work normally occasionally, the fault rate is too high and the fault cycle is too short.

Xu Ming felt extremely confused:

"I give you whatever parts they want, and I can cut whatever they ask me to cut. The total number of parts they processed exceeded 60,000, with a pass rate of 100%, and gave one god assist after another."

"All high-precision parts can be assembled in total, and there is no qualified product that can be used."

"After all, the R&D team is too young and inexperienced, which leads to the failure of ready-made technical paths to be successful?"

"It's mainly due to insufficient personnel quality."

How to solve this problem?

After discussing with Lan Mengxin a few times, they came up with two solutions.

One is to recruit people, recruit a group of professional researchers with more experience and stronger abilities to come in and supplement them into the R&D team.

As a result, the R&D team of more than 200 people expanded to more than 400 people, and the average education was quite high.

The second method has a miraculous effect, the efficiency improvement is almost visible to the naked eye and the progress is greatly accelerated.

Refreshing cherry beans!

In order to give the research talents of the R&D team better brainpower and best condition, Xu Ming brought in a large number of refreshing cherry beans and soaked them for the technicians to drink.

These refreshing cherry beans are not scarce stocks of more than 20,000 yuan per kilogram on the market, but were picked by Xu Ming from the world of his own.

More than 30 kilograms are consumed every day.

The effect was extremely significant, and all R&D personnel were surprised.

"After drinking this cherry bean drink, I suddenly felt much more energetic. It seemed that my head turned on and restarted, and cleared out a lot of unnecessary spam and memory."

"Magic, so magical! I feel endless inspiration is coming, and my head has never been so flexible and transparent."

"I thought of it! I thought of a very clever way to solve the problem, and avoid other problems..."

"I solved this big problem that has troubled me for more than a month and suddenly I felt as if God was helping me and gave me wisdom."

"The taste is also very good, sweet but not greasy. Unfortunately, each person can drink up to four cups a day, and the amount is very small, which is completely unsatisfactory."

After one fault problem after another is solved.

The R&D talents were chattering and all were so excited that they not only found a strategic direction, but also had extremely sufficient confidence, and even rapidly expanded, believing that there was no problem in this world that they could not solve.

Fortunately, their arrogance is based on real skills.

In about early October, it took about half a year in total, the euv lithography machine was completely conquered and produced the first domestic euv lithography machine. Its performance was not inferior to foreign products and it completely reached a long-term availability.

In addition, Xu Ming has processed parts and materials that can manufacture more than 10 lithography machines. The lithography machines within the chip manufacturing company have been completely solved, and the biggest obstacle has been solved.

However, Lan Mengxin asked the lithography machine research and development department to not make any noise for the time being. First build the company's chip manufacturing assembly line and solve the technical problems of other high-tech equipment. Try to make the chip factory run as soon as possible and continuously produce high-performance pure domestic high-end chips.

When the first batch of foundry chips are manufactured and can be used, it will not be too late to release a bombshell to the outside world.

Now we need to restrain our own impulse in our hearts and accumulate small moves to make big moves. Once activated, we will definitely slap countless overseas and win countless praises in China.

"Indeed, lithography machines are nothing. You have to take out the chip to be convincing."

"We must speed up the progress to see if we can achieve mass production of chips within two years, which shocked countless eyes."

"I was so excited that I couldn't wait to say it."

"Please allow us to work overtime and prepare the refreshing coffee beans at night. We want to work overtime and achieve a breakthrough feat as soon as possible!"

The R&D team is full of morale and full of energy. They all devote themselves to their work with full enthusiasm.
Chapter completed!
