People who like astrology often say that purple is the most mysterious color in the world. It is elusive and often inadvertently shows unique gorgeousness and elegance.

At this moment, ultra-ultraviolet light is bursting out from the laser generator. It passes through layers of carefully polished lenses at the speed of light. After repeated refraction and changes, it is finally adjusted to a suitable angle and energy value, wrapped with a powerful momentum of sharpness and precision, and quickly passes through the silicon wafer.

"Success! The test run was successful! We etched a wafer with a process of seven nanometers!" After the project engineer confirmed the machine data, he announced loudly, followed by shocking cheers, accompanied by people's uncontrollable tears.

3.45 billion US dollars is the cost of the SMIC C1 production line.

After countless efforts and confrontations, and praying like grandpa and grandma, SMIC finally obtained a third-generation EUV lithography machine produced by Asml.

However, who would have thought that the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse afterwards. The technological war continued to escalate. Before the third-generation asml was put into use, Star Technology released the fourth-generation lithography product.

The c1 production line was originally prepared for the third-generation aircraft, but when the fourth-generation aircraft of Xingchen Technology was unveiled, Mr. Tang of SMIC immediately made a bold decision.

"Go to the damn asml!" Mr. Tang roared at the board of directors: "When is it now? If we don't give priority to the fourth-generation machine of Xingchen Technology and continue to implement the third-generation plan of Asml, we are still considered individuals!"

The director reminded Tang Boyun that the C1 line signed a contract with Asml, and the supporting equipment was also prepared for the third generation of machines.

"Go to the contract!" Tang Boyun shouted: "Loss money at the price! Let those white pigs get the money and get out! The c1 line must be on the fourth-generation machine of Xingchen Technology! If you give up the newly built c1 line and build a production line for the fourth-generation machine again, it will take at least half a year. Half a year has passed, and the daylily will be cold!"

Who has not had a sense of family and country born on this land and bathed in the growth of Chinese civilization?

In this way, the production line originally prepared for EUV was forcibly replaced with the fourth-generation machine of Star Technology, and the third-generation machine transported from the Netherlands was thrown directly into the corner to eat dust.

Luo Jia was also very happy when he heard the cheers in his ears, but he did not show too much excitement.

No success fell from the sky. In the corridor outside the main control room, the rows of messy camp beds are undoubtedly the best proof. Xingchen and SMIC teams have not been closed for more than a month. They are all on the C1 line and have made great efforts. Today, they have successfully tested the game at one time. These straightforward engineers are the biggest contributors.

"Next, we have to solve the problem of tunneling." Luo Jia said, "The existing silicon wafers are limited by physical properties and can only use three nanometers. If you want to go further, you must use silene or graphene."

Tang Boyun calmed down, raised his glasses and nodded at Luo Jia, "Yes, we finally have forty nanometers, twenty-eight nanometers, fourteen nanometers, and seven nanometer wires, which are considered to be the world's first-class level, but just tying is not enough. Next, we will overtake."

Ordinary consumers may not understand the chip foundry industry. A top semiconductor factory must be fully architecture and full process.

Although the seven-nanometer process is currently the most advanced level in the world, it is also expensive. The sample is worth hundreds of millions of dollars at a time. There are only a few top chip products in the world, such as Intel and Apple's processors, Texas Instruments' carriers, Huawei and Qualcomm's basebands. Only these top chips are willing to spend a lot of money to adopt the seven-nanometer process.

Some cheap semiconductor products, such as chips used on old radios and tractors for farmland, use cheap chips of hundreds of nanometers or even micron levels.

Therefore, a top chip factory requires many production lines to produce a full set of process products. The C1 line is SMIC's first fourth-generation line and also the test line of Xingchen Technology. The current design standard is only seven nanometers. After all, it was originally prepared for the third generation seven nanometers, so it was decided to replace the lithography system temporarily.

In the future, the C2 wire of SMIC will adopt a five-nanometer process, two nanometers of C3 wire, five nanometers of D1 wire, and one nanometer of zero point of D2 wire

In short, Star Technology and SMIC have always been the closest strategic partners. The Tough Group will be stationed at SMIC for a long time in the future to help them build all next-generation production lines one by one.

Of course, while building a production line, the material center also needs to take out silene and graphene first. Only these two materials can solve the ultra-low stage of the process, the tunneling and electron migration generated, and the existing silicon wafer technology have reached the end of history.

Judging from the current situation, Cao Yuan’s graphene laboratory is the most promising. They are at the stage of achieving results. After all, Luo Jia invited this super genius to take charge of materials studies. It has been almost two years since he has invested an incredible amount of money.

"At the latest Spring Festival, we can put graphene wafers on it." Luo Jia swears: "The graphene thing can actually be made all the time, but the output is very low and the price is too high, so it is not suitable for mass production."

"A chip made of graphene costs more than one million yuan per piece, which is really outrageous. Big dogs can't afford it. Cao Yuan's graphene laboratory has been doing process optimization. As far as I know, his progress is pretty good. It's just around the corner to make a material like graphene to a bargain."

Hahahaha~

Tang Boyun was very happy that graphene is a famous future material. Not only can chips be used, but almost all high-tech products can be used. Once the price is reduced, it can quickly occupy the global market and impact the West's monopoly on high-end materials.

Xingchen Technology has the famous three musketeers of materials science, Ji Ming, Cao Yuan, Chao Anbang. It is said that Chao Anbang's superconducting materials laboratory is also progressing very quickly, and may become another powerful tool to fight the world in the future.

Luo Jia raised her wrist, glanced at the time and said, "Sorry, I have to leave. Today is New Year's Day. There is a New Year's special column on Star Media."

"Since that's the case, Mr. Luo, please go quickly. Leave it here to me. After returning to the data, let everyone have a holiday and celebrate the New Year."

"Oh, another year has passed without realizing it." Luo Jia sighed, and her eyes turned to the bleak winter day outside the window, "Star Technology has been established for five years, and I am one year older."

Pooh ~

Luo Jia didn't sigh that it was okay. When he spoke, everyone in the control room squirted.

"Mr. Luo, you founded Xingchen Technology at the age of nineteen. Five years have passed, and you are only twenty-four years old, okay?"

"Yes, if you feel old, wouldn't we all go into the coffin half?"

People are so angry that people are more popular. In recent years, people have been hearing Luo Jia's name in the news. So many times, their ears are almost calloused. Many people imagine him as an old senior in the field of technology.

But in fact, he is less than twenty-four years old!

"The beer is ready, what kind of program to record? Your private channel is updated every week during this period. It's too hard, so why not take a break. Let's celebrate today!" A big shot at SMIC suggested.

It is hard for them to imagine that Luo Jia is busy with everything and runs in the studio all day long. Not only does she record the program herself and do live broadcasts, she also plays a guest host, introducing unknown bigwigs in the Chinese technology industry and lets the audience know each other.

It can be said that Luo Jia has made 200% efforts in publicity. He really hopes that his compatriots in his hometown can understand science and love science. Even if they can't understand complex formulas, they must at least understand the benefits of science and be a sensible person who respects science.

Luo Jia smiled and shook her head, "I want to stay for celebration, but if we don't occupy the public opinion position, we will be occupied by the enemy. I remember not long ago, how many bullshit Vs were leading the rhythm, waving flags and shouting for the comprador class, and promoting the bullshit theory that it is better to buy than to buy. If we really believe it, we will definitely be chewed away now."

"Xingchen Technology has launched the fourth generation of lithography machine. In order to launch the extreme survival plan, SMIC forced the fourth generation machine this time, and the losses were also billions of dollars. Alibaba's boss Ma solemnly swore to fully support the technological community to compete with the West for a high and bad situation, and never poach in the country."

"What kind of thing is not enough to write into the history of Chinese science and technology? What are the hot searches on Weibo these days? All of them are sister Zhiling married a neon person. Various analysis on the Internet, why did sister Zhiling change to the man's surname? How many girlfriends have been dated by the man? These shitty things have also been revealed."

Everyone felt sad after hearing Luo Jia's words. In this era of entertainment until death, most people only saw a piece of singing and dancing, but forgot the land under their feet, and the blood and bones of their ancestors were buried.

Luo Jia said loudly: "After all, whether this technology war wins and loses depends on the strength of us science and engineering men!"

"We do not know how to coax our girlfriend, and we don't know what elegance is. We wear T-shirts and plaid shirts all day long, and carry rustic backpacks. We have a straight-minded aesthetic. Of course, we are a bit rustic, but there are still a few hard bones on our bodies! Although we are not liked by girls, the stars and seas are the real romance of men!"

"To say something girls don't like to listen, if it weren't for physical needs, who would have trouble finding a girlfriend? In this world, men will always understand men the best! A boyfriend is the best friend!"

Luo Jia's words caused laughter from the audience. This is the truth. The friendship between men is much better than those girls. Of course, many girls at the scene also threw contempt at Luo Jia, thinking that the leader of the straight boy group was really terminally ill and hopelessly honest.

"Okay!" Luo Jia waved to everyone, "Everyone celebrate tonight, will I go to the show and compete for entertainment positions."

"No matter how long the time comes, you must do popular science! You are the cutest science and engineering men. You can't let you suffer and shed blood. In the end, no one knows it."

"We need to promote scientific matters, and we need to promote them very much!"
