Almost non-stop, Chen Baishi brought engineers and technicians supported by Oslan to join the project as soon as possible. After inspecting the current construction progress of the factory on-site, these engineers quickly came up with rectification plans and presented a new list of materials.

It has to be said that the Shen family engineering team's project progress is still very fast. In just over a week, the prototype of the chip factory has emerged. Therefore, there is no need to adjust the appearance design of the factory, but only the layout of the factory is adjusted.

Shen Wenda had no objection to such a rectification plan. After all, this is the first chip factory in China. Except for these foreign engineers, no one knows what the chip factory's layout looks like. Therefore, it is correct to follow the advice of foreign engineers. And they invited their own engineers to watch, and he had no objection to the foreigners' plans. However, it made Shen Wenda a little uncomfortable in terms of construction materials.

All the materials are special materials that are not available in China, and the expensive ones make Shen Wenda think he is buying gold.

If it is put in the past, Shen Wenda would definitely think that Chen Baishi and these foreigners were cheating on him, and there must be some conspiracy behind it. However, after the heart-to-heart talks and thinking during this period, they did not completely let go of their past grudges, but at least they could still be wholeheartedly on the chip factory project, so Shen Wenda raised his own questions.

Chen Baishi's answer is simple: "Do as they ask."

Shen Wenda didn't understand it very much, because in his opinion, this was just a trick on them!

Chen Baishi then explained to him that chip factories are different from other factories. Since all production is carried out at the micron-nanometer level, no dust can be allowed in the workshop, otherwise the production of defective products is second. If important machines such as lithography machines are damaged, it is the most deadly.

"You have to know that the lithography machine for chip production costs 80 million US dollars, and it took a lot of brains to get it back. For such expensive equipment, we should also have high requirements for workshop materials. We must not fool here, because if there is a problem, we will not have any chance to remedy it!"

Chen Baishi said to Shen Wenda very seriously: "And the workshop materials are just the first step, and there are all the special clothing and dust removal equipment that enter the workshop, which are not cheaper than these materials now."

Chen Baishi's explanation made Shen Wenda feel quite impressed, but Shen Wenda also found that he had to make up some knowledge about chips. After all, he was a chip factory, and the Shen family would have to turn things around in the future. How could he still understand nothing?

When Chen Baishi learned that Shen Wenda had such an idea, he took the initiative to find domestic and foreign chip-related books for him.

When Zhou Ming learned that the Shen brothers worked together to build a chip factory in Binhai, he was truly relieved, because in fact, when Zhou Ming came to Chen Baishi before, he was worried that Chen Baishi and Shen Wenda would pull each other back, which would lead to the chip factory's progress being lagging behind. Zhou Ming also prepared a backup plan for this.

Although Zhou Ming didn't want to be so popular, if the Shen brothers were so weak and still faced each other in this way, Zhou Ming would have quick action to kick them out.

However, it is obvious that as one of the four major members of Binhai, Shen Wenda and Shen Baishi still have this vision. Zhou Ming was relieved to stay in China and focused on continuing to transport equipment in Belgium to return to China.

Originally, when he was working on a chip factory, Zhou Ming thought that as long as he got a lithography machine, he would be done. Later, after understanding the entire production process of chips, Zhou Ming realized that lithography machines are indeed the most critical and core equipment, but if only lithography machines are used, they still cannot make chips.

Because making chips requires refining high-purity elemental silicon, special machines also need to slice and polish the elemental silicon, then apply special photosensitive materials, etc., this series of production processes requires special machines to complete.

Fortunately, these machines are not on the embargo list. Zhou Ming can easily get it through Oslan's relationship. He gets all the machines together and then packs them all back to China.

Zhou Ming packed all the equipment on board at Anrip's port and shipped the goods. He accompanied Caitlin in Belgium for another week before Zhou Ming boarded the flight back to China. Since there were still many things in Europe, the integration of various resources of the Harrusburg family was also in progress, and Caitlin needed to watch it at any time, so Zhou Ming had to return home by himself in the end.

Zhou Ming took a direct flight to Binhai, and the two brothers Shen Baishi and Shen Wenda greeted him personally at the airport. Shen Baishi knew that Zhou Ming did not like the show, so he did not arrange many people to make banners or something, but he also set up a formation and rented a Les-Royce for Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming didn't say anything about this. After all, he gave their chip factory a chance to turn things around. If they insisted on not accepting their kindness, they would feel uneasy.

Zhou Ming rested for a day in Binhai. Su Han came to accompany Zhou Ming the next day. On the third day, Academician Li Zhennan from the Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences came to Binhai. When he saw Zhou Ming excitedly held Zhou Ming's hand, he really didn't expect that Zhou Ming could get the most advanced lithography machine.

"I originally thought that I could only see the most advanced lithography machines in my life in foreign factories. It's great that you can return to China now! Comrade Zhou Ming, you are the biggest helper for the development of the country's electronics industry!" Li Zhennan said excitedly.

"Academician Li is over-reputable. Actually, I am just a capitalist who is in line with money. I buy lithography machines for chip factories. I can't move you to the laboratory for Academician Li." Zhou Ming joked.

"Of course, lithography machines should be placed in the factory. Originally, lithography machines were made to achieve mass production!"

Li Zhennan said and then changed the subject: "Of course, I mean that if we need it, our laboratory wants to make some special chips, and I hope Comrade Zhou Ming can help."

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said that there was no problem. Although the chip factory gave it to the Shen family, Zhou Ming could still do this.

Li Zhennan was very happy when he heard this. He pulled Zhou Ming on the spot and wanted to treat him to dinner. Zhou Ming originally thought that it would be fine if Li Zhennan's salary was enough, but Li Zhennan mysteriously told Zhou Ming that this was not a treat, but a great leader treating him.

Then Zhou Ming and Li Zhennan arrived at the Peace Hotel and opened a private room. After a while, someone would push the door in. Only then did Zhou Ming know who Li Zhennan called the leader Zhao Sen, he was the prime minister and the second leader of the country.

Zhou Ming greeted the chief and invited him in and sat down. Zhou Ming had never thought that the Prime Minister would come. He originally thought that at most there would be a senior official at the ministerial level, but he did not expect that the Prime Minister would come in person.

Regarding Zhou Ming's surprise, Zhao Sen said: "It seems that you haven't realized how much contribution you have made to the country! Our country has always been restricted by foreign countries in the field of electronics. Even supercomputers, such as nationally important devices, have to be designed and manufactured in the United States throughout the process. What is the result? We can finally make supercomputers, but our designs, computer systems, etc. will be clearly mastered by the United States."

Zhao Sen said, revealing helplessness in his words: "But now, with a lithography machine, waiting for your chip factory to come out, it means that we can make supercomputers in China in the future, which is a great progress."

Zhao Sen also said: "Of course this is just the first step. We will use reverse engineering imitation lithography machines in the future to strive to make our own lithography machines so that we will not be choked by foreigners in this field. The premise of all this is that we must have lithography machines! So Comrade Zhou Mingxiao, your achievements, let me and Zekang come over to say thank you to you to be at ease."

The Prime Minister said so, but Zhou Ming dared to take on airs. He could only smile and say that this was what he should do.

Then the next day, the former busy Binhai Port suddenly came martial law. Countless armed police officers and soldiers with guns and ammunition entered, guarding the key points. Then a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles drove into the port. This was the Prime Minister's convoy. Zhou Ming, Suhan, Shen brothers and Li Zhennan both followed him, because today was the day when the lithography machine arrived at the port.

It was originally planned to take more than half a month, but due to the influence of monsoons and currents in the Indian Ocean, the time was several days faster than expected.

Zhou Ming didn't know what kind of treatment it would be for lithography machines to arrive in Hong Kong in later generations, but now he gets this lithography machine back, his treatment is definitely quite impressive.

It's no wonder. After all, in the future, there was already their own lithography machine, but the accuracy was not as accurate as abroad. Therefore, the country is eager for lithography machines, but the importance is not so high. Unlike now, the domestic lithography machine is completely blank. Zhou Ming's return to this lithography machine gives the country a great opportunity to fill this gap, so even a leader like Zhao Sen can't sit still.

At this time, the main building of the chip factory has been completed, and the workshop dedicated to the lithography machine has been completed. The lithography machine can be placed in for installation and commissioning immediately.

The most exciting thing here is Li Zhennan. As an older generation scientist who has been dealing with electronics all his life, he doesn't know how eager he is for lithography machines. In simple terms, this is the goddess he has been secretly in love with for the rest of his life. Now that he finally has the opportunity to get in close contact with the goddess, how can he not make him ecstatic?

Compared to the excited Li Zhennan, Zhao Sen was much calmer. He just witnessed the entire installation and debugging process with a smile, and then asked Zhou Ming: "When will this thing be put into production?"

Zhao Sen asked simply, and Zhou Ming answered simply: "On the basis of ensuring the raw materials of silicon wafers, you can start production immediately."

"There are wafers, and my laboratory can produce silicon wafers." Li Zhennan replied. It is obvious that the old academician can't wait to produce the chips he wants through this lithography machine.
