Chen Yao checked the points of the U disk in the universe, and the current pan-entertainment points have become 0.

The fourth partition of the U disk is Cancer, which requires 800 points, and the difficulty has increased exponentially.

Let’s not care about this for the time being. Gemini just lit up just now, and many black technologies inside have not yet been obtained.

If you can successfully develop chips, you can bring you hundreds of billions of income, what an amazing number that can reach the peak of your life.

More importantly, we can get rid of the American scoundrels, and no one wants their lifeline to be in the hands of others.

Chen Yao mastered a complete set of chip design and production technologies, but it is impossible to get the chip production line out with just a slap in his head.

Even if you have the help of gold fingers, you must follow the actual laws.

The industrial chain involved in the chip industry is very large and complex. It is not like the male protagonist in some novels who can create a production line out of thin air with a system.

Even if it is made out of thin air, it cannot be done. Not to mention the others, without a lithography machine, it cannot be done by chip factories alone.

In the afternoon, Chen Yao called Professor Zhong Guoqiang from the University of Science and Technology.

He is not only an artificial intelligence scientist, but also a top expert in AI chips.

"What, do you want to make chips?" Hearing his phone call, Professor Zhong wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Can you do the most cutting-edge things in the world's electronics industry be done by a startup company?

After spending decades of technical accumulation for the company, tens of billions of R&D funds have only solved the chip design link, and the production link has been choked.

Chen Yao's tone is quite strong, and he has to do everything in one stop to design, research, development and production of chips.

I really don’t know who gave him the courage?

"I advise you to think carefully. Chips are not as easy as you think. There are high risks in investing funds. Many domestic semiconductor companies have gone bankrupt."

Zhong Guoqiang was worried that he had a plan that was made by a fever. It was a good thing for young people to be motivated, but don’t be blinded by the passion.

Chen Yao said confidently: "I never do things that I am unsure, don't worry."

Zhong Guoqiang said: "Come to my laboratory and I'll talk to you again."

At 3 pm, Shenzhen University of Science and Technology.

Professor Zhong Guoqiang stays in the laboratory for research most of the time except teaching.

At this moment, he was wearing an experimental suit and facing a microscope to see the fine density of graphene material.

"Professor, I'm here." Chen Yao walked in.

Every time I see him, Professor Zhong smiled: "To be honest, have you really fully evaluated the risks of making chips?"

There are so many domestic companies that are very enthusiastic about chips, and there are countless ten fingers that have gone bankrupt.

The chip industry seems to have broad prospects, but it is actually a pit, a huge pit, and most people can't jump over and fall to death.

Chen Yao said with a serious expression: "Legendary chips are not a question of whether they should be done or not. They must be done."

"You know, the artificial intelligence that our company now needs high-end chip support, and these technologies are mastered in the United States. Once their technology is blocked, our company may be paralyzed."

The big tree attracts wind, and now the products made by Legend Company have been targeted by the United States.

"I never fight unprepared wars. I must have confidence and I am very sure."

Zhong Guoqiang smiled. Although he didn't know where his confidence came from, he could always give people strong confidence.

"The research and development and production of chips are very large and complex. Where do you plan to start?"

The industrial chain is very long, and it is impossible to swallow it all at the beginning, focus on key points and make breakthroughs in key areas.

The question is, what are the key areas?

In this field, the key to designing is to achieve the top level. The key is to produce. There are no top chip foundries in China.

The manufacturing of chips includes deposition, photoresist coating, exposure, development, etching, transplanting, peeling and many other processes.

Among them, exposure is the key to chip production. If you want to make high-end chips, you must use a lithography machine.

What the hell is a lithography machine?

To put it simply, its principle of function is a bit like a projector, but its accuracy requirements are very high. Draw patterns on a wafer with only a few nanometers and draw highly complex circuits.

A big shot once described how difficult it is to make a high-precision lithography machine?

It’s like two planes, from takeoff to landing, one plane stretches out a knife and carves the grains of rice on the other plane.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is more difficult to make a lithography machine than an atomic bomb.

There is only one company that can make high-end lithography machines in today's world, namely Asml from the Netherlands, which is called Asmie in Chinese.

Asmay's lithography machine monopolizes more than 70% of the global market. It is the absolute overlord of high-end lithography machine made of 7nm and 5nm.

This company was very inconspicuous before 2004 and was born in Philips, a small laboratory of the razor company.

Fortunately, I seized the tide of the times and developed a new generation of lithography machine technology, which immediately defeated Nikon Japan.

Asmay occupies an absolute monopoly in the field of lithography machines.

A lithography machine costs about US$120 million, equivalent to the price of a Boeing aircraft, weighs 180 tons and involves 100,000 parts.

These parts are from the world's top high-tech suppliers!

No country in the world can independently produce lithography machines, not even the United States.

From this point of view, you can know how difficult it is.

Professor Zhong Guoqiang said seriously: "The biggest reason why the country cannot produce top-notch chips is that it is just on the lithography machine. The gap between technology and ASMA is too big."

Having money is a pass. It’s not easy. Isn’t it possible to produce it after buying a few lithography machines from Asmay, the Netherlands?

The key is that rich families won’t sell it to you. Although Asmay is a Dutch company, it is actually controlled by the United States.

The best chip foundry in China, "Zhenxin International", purchased two ASMA's lithography machines, but they have not been shipped for several years.

So don’t have any fantasies about foreign technology, self-reliance is the right way to go.

Chen Yao made up his mind to conquer the lithography machine before making chips!

"Are you really sure you want to make a lithography machine?"

Chen Yao nodded seriously: "The lithography machine must be made, and it must surpass Asmai!"

The ideal is so great, this kid doesn't dare to think about it.

It would be awesome to be able to reach the level of Asmay, but he would even defeat him.

But think about it, it is impossible to allow Erhu in the field of lithography machines. Either you die or I die.

If you can't surpass him, you will have only one outcome, you will be defeated.

In the world's high-end lithography machine field, only one company can exist.
