Although this independent building was cleaned up, there was no researcher inside?

Xiao Qiang found it very strange. Since there is a lithography machine here, it should be said that it is crowded with people. Why can't I see anyone?

He didn't know lithography machines. When he participated in system design last time, various chips, including processors, were brought by experts themselves. Universal assembled a set of supercomputers, which was also used by Xiao Qiang's reorganized core chipsets and integrated circuits customized by the National Defense Science and Technology Commission.

Therefore, he walked upstairs and downstairs several times and saw several large equipment, but he couldn't recognize which one was a lithography machine.

Xiao Qiang hurriedly came out of the building again, and hurriedly found Wang, who was working in the research institute. He suppressed his temper and waited for a while. Seeing that he finally came down from the test bench, he immediately grabbed him: "Mr. Wang, when you led the team last time and checked the equipment in the research institute, why didn't you tell me that there was a lithography machine here?"

"What lithography machine?" Wang Gong, who had not yet woken up from the research data, asked in confusion.

"Large-scale integrated circuit lithography machine! I accidentally heard from a researcher that there is a lithography machine here! That is a lithography machine that can make ultra-large-scale integrated circuits! One is worth tens of millions of dollars!" Xiao Qiang jumped in an anxious manner and said with pain.

How can we be so uneconomical?

In chip preparation, the most important and most expensive one is the lithography machine!

If it is a lithography machine produced on a large scale in a factory, it will cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars! Even the small lithography machine used in a laboratory will cost tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars!

In order to get into the Japanese research institute this time, I spent more than 100 million US dollars! I finally recovered my investment and made a big profit. How could I just let it go?

Who knew that Wang Gong didn't understand his mood at all. After hearing him say that, he blinked his eyes and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! For large-scale integrated circuit lithography machines? Too... so ridiculous! Hahahaha!"

He laughed louder and louder, and squatted on the ground with his stomach in his arms, tears bursting out.

Xiao Qiang was a little puzzled.

Did I say it wrong? Or did I understand what the researcher said? There is actually no lithography machine here?

Xiao Qiang is a very self-aware person. He knew that although all he came into contact with were top scientific and technological workers, he had reached the so-called "relationships without white diary". However, his own technical level is still at a very low level and he does not have a lot of basic knowledge.

He asked carefully: "Mr. Wang, is there no lithography machine for large-scale integrated circuits here?"

"...Yes, why didn't it?" Wang Gong squatted on the ground, trying hard to restrain it, but the muscles on his face kept beating and his mouth started to smile.

Xiao Qiang was furious: "I thought I heard it wrong! Since there is, why don't you tell me! Why don't you calculate the financial accounts? This one will pay most of our rent! You are wasting, you are committing a crime, old comrade!"

I have seen too many researchers at Universal Corporation these days about the boss's greed.

Xiao Qiang reorganized a component and took less than a minute. However, every time he moved around, he was so tired that he was sweating. Most of the time he was idle and wandered around the institute.

He was still abide by the rules. When he saw others doing research, he stood there and watched it honestly. When he saw someone resting, he immediately came over, helped him wipe his sweat, served tea and water, and was very attentive. Then, before the others could be grateful, he began to ask: What instruments do you need to use for this research? Are instruments very expensive? If I want to buy them in the international market, how much will it cost? ... and other questions.

In short, each question revolves around the word "money"!

If he hears the other party telling him that an instrument is very expensive and worth a little, he will immediately shine and stare at the instrument eagerly without blinking! Looking at his posture, it seems that as long as others don’t pay attention, he will immediately carry the instrument and steal it!

Wang Gong is not afraid of being angry because he is angry. Researchers from the world now know that the boss is actually very good. As long as he is not dereliction of duty at work, he will never really get angry with you. Of course, if he is perfunctory in his work, he will definitely kick you out of the company because of the salary he pays for heartache!

After a long time, Wang Gong's laughter came to an end. Although Xiao Qiang's face was flushed, he still waited patiently for him to explain, rubbing his stomach that was sore in laughter, and said, "Mr. Xiao, if this integrated circuit is divided according to the degree of integration, it is divided into small-scale, medium-scale, large-scale, and super-scale. Small-scale integrates dozens of components, medium-scale integration is hundreds, and large-scale is thousands. As long as the integrated components are tens of thousands, it is called ultra-scale integrated circuits. Many of the various chips and processors we use are ultra-scale integrated circuits."

"Well. So what?" Xiao Qiang nodded reluctantly and asked.

Wang Gong's face twitched, as if he wanted to laugh again. Seeing Xiao Qiang's tendency to get angry again, he tried hard to resist and said, "The researcher Mr. Xiao met is probably Researcher Hou, right? He used to work in the factory, and the lithography machine in their factory only has an old-fashioned one, which is provided as a treasure. Every time he wants to try the chip, he has to apply to the factory many times. After careful consideration, he can only use it.

Researcher Hou once designed an integrated circuit and reported it to it many times, but it was not approved! So there was a fire in his heart!

I have also seen the lithography machine he mentioned. It is indeed a super-large integrated circuit lithography machine, but it is a very old lithography machine! The accuracy can only reach five microns. After so many years of equipment aging, it can barely be made. It integrates chips with a degree of tens of thousands, but the cost rate is extremely high! If we give this lithography machine to us, we don’t want it - it’s a waste! Wasting precious silicon wafers!

Among the researchers in the company, only Researcher Hou is the only one who treats it as a treasure! However, he also fulfilled his wish that he had not achieved back then. I guess when he made the chip he designed that year, he would also discard it as a piece of shabby and would not go again!"

"Yes..., that's it! Haha, haha!" Xiao Qiang smiled foolishly and pointed outside the laboratory and said, "The weather is so good today, I'll go out for a walk!"

He made a big ugly appearance in front of Mr. Wang, who mistakenly treated the stubborn stone as a diamond. He felt very embarrassed, so he made an excuse and wanted to slip away.

"Mr. Xiao! Wait!" He wanted to slip away, but Mr. Wang stopped him instead.

"Is there something else? Actually, I'm very busy too. If nothing big, can we talk about it another day?" Xiao Qiang looked around with Guan Gong's face, his eyes wide open, and only glanced around the ground.

"Hahahaha!" Wang Gong smiled. Although this little boss was greedy for money, he was willing to invest in the development of the company and dared to make decisions. Although he was still relatively immature in technology, he achieved success after success with his smart mind. To be honest, in the hearts of the researchers, he actually supported this boss very much.

He looked at Xiao Qiang's shy look and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao! I heard that you are looking for good things everywhere according to a list. In fact, there are more good things than those on the list! Some things, although not written on the list, their value is far greater than what instruments and equipment you have in your eyes!"

"How do you say it?" Xiao Qiang likes to talk about the most now, the value of equipment. When he heard something from Wang Gong's words, he didn't say anything and left, and quickly leaned forward with a smile.

Wang Gong smiled and said, "Last time, I told you that the total value of this research institute was more than one billion US dollars. At that time, I didn't consider too many general instruments. Instead, I saw some good things, all made by the Japanese themselves, and things that were not on your list. To be honest, I didn't expect that in this private research institute, I could see so many good things and study automation equipment for so many years. It was the first time that I saw such good things like this, which was really eye-opening!"

Xiao Qiang had already thrown away the ugly thing he had just thrown his eyes away, laughing so hard that he couldn't stop asking, "What good thing is it? You're going to open your eyes when you're open your eyes! You have to share good things, so you can also receive double happiness!"

"Is that true?" Wang Gong saw Xiao Qiang scratching his head and was impatient, and couldn't bear to tease him anymore, and said cheerfully, "Okay! Then I'll take you to see, that micro super precision combination machine tool!"

“Miniature ultra-precision combined machine tools?”

On the way, Xiao Qiang asked about the micro super precision machine tool.

Ultra-precision machine tool processing is a technology that uses tools to cut, grind, polish and other processing materials. The parts produced with extremely high precision are widely used in clocks, optical instruments, equipment, and military industries. Its development level directly affects the achievements a country can achieve in cutting-edge science and technology and defense industries.

The earliest ultra-precision machine tool was manufactured by an American company in 1962. The processing accuracy at that time reached an extremely high level of 2.5 nanometers! Since then, high-precision parts have begun to be widely used in national defense technology, and in turn promoted the development of precision machining technology.

Japan's precision processing is later than that of the United States, but it is developing very fast.

Due to the rapid development of precision machining technology in recent years, the use of computer-aided systems and laser positioning systems has been widely used. Japan specializes in the manufacturing of small precision instruments, and has achieved great achievements in the manufacturing of civilian, military semiconductors and small instruments. Moreover, these components are also exported to the United States in large quantities. It is said that the Tomahawk cruise missiles of the American New Poem, the main control chips and some precision components, are produced by Japan!

Why does the US military industry buy Japanese products?

The United States was the first country to invent precision machining technology. Due to its early start and rapid development, their precision machining technology has long surpassed other countries in the world. Its performance lies in large precision machining machine tools!

The larger the parts, the worse the processing conditions and the greater the processing difficulty, which is well known.

Many of the aviation and ground weapons required by the military industry are composed of large components. For example, an aviation engine has a volume that exceeds a car!

It is precisely because the United States focuses on the production process of large components. Other countries, especially those with limited strength, have room for development in small and micro precision machining technologies.

Internationally, Switzerland, Germany and Japan are ranked among the top in small and micro precision machining technologies.

The one that Wang Gong took Xiao Qiang to see was a micro-combination machine tool designed and produced by Japan.

This is a combined lathe mainly consists of turning and grinding. In addition to the mechanical turning and grinding function, it also combines a laser polishing component. Although it is miniature, various parts are also full, and a whole workbench is available!

However, after listening to Wang Gong's explanation, Xiao Qiang realized that the main parts of the machine tool are not large, the spindle and guide rail are two meters long, and there is also an unremovable workbench. If you want to calculate the total volume, it will only look like a cubic meter, which is still within Xiao Qiang's ability.

Other larger components are mainly control chassis and computer systems.

Such a micro-combination machine tool mainly processes small parts, precision instrument components, and polishes optical lenses, making it impossible to process large parts more than one and a half meters.

Xiao Qiang sat around the machine tool for a long time, but when Mr. Wang left, he didn't know.

Then, he also got up and left, and went to reorganize the decomposed electro-emitting lens. That night, a group of mechanical experts such as Zhao Gong and Wang Gong were called over to study the machine tool.

The subject of research, of course, is how to disassemble it!

However, while Xiao Qiang was still exploring how to bring this machine tool into the mysterious space and bring it back to China to reorganize, the action of the Japanese Electrical Appliance Manufacturers Alliance has quietly begun.

Tian Shengying and two security team members have been in the Tokyo Harbor Warehouse District for about a month.

In the corner of this inconvenient warehouse area, the warehouse they rented was hanging in an isolated corner. There is no house nearby, and the supermarket closest to it also takes half an hour to drive.

Often, a whole day passed, and there was no sight of a car, and a person passed by here alone.

Several times, Tian Shengying thought they had been forgotten by this world.

Their only entertainment was to chat with Yankovic and others and teach the Soviets to speak Chinese. They were so bored that they got together to play poker.

After a month of such a boring life, Tian Shengying, who is active by nature, was completely devastated. Even playing poker, he was listless and could not get interested.

On this day, he really didn't want to play poker anymore, nor did he have the interest in bragging, so he walked alone and stood by the beach for more than an hour.

In the past, Xiao Qiang would come once a day. Although this greedy guy always nagged his losses, Xiao Tian was bored with listening. But now Xiao Qiang and his friends went to the research institute. Facing the deserted warehouse, he couldn't help feeling sad, and he doubted whether Xiao Qiang and the others had left them and returned home alone.

He was not a person who could endure loneliness. Otherwise, he would not have tried every means to help Xiao Qiang study in Beijing so that he could follow him back to Beijing.

After returning from the beach, Tian Shengying held the instant noodles heated in an electric stove and threw the bowl of noodles to the ground: "Damn, I've had enough of this kind of life! I'm going to go to the city!"

"Oda, this is not good, right? The task assigned by Mr. Xiao is to guard the warehouse!" The two security team members exchanged their eyes and persuaded them.

"I don't care!" Tian Shengying stood up from the ground, "Xiao Qiang is not my boss! He can't control me!"

As he said that, he walked out regardless of it.

Two security team members hurriedly went up to stop them, and the three of them pulled and tugged, alarming Yangkovic and others next to them.

After more than a month of quiet cultivation, Yangkovic and his hearts have basically settled down. Everyone's complexion has become much better and no longer the embarrassment he used to be. Every time Xiao Qiang comes, he also adds a lot of daily necessities to them, from Simmons mattresses to electric stoves. The warehouse is like a collective dormitory.

Yangkovic came out of the warehouse, asked the reason for their dispute, pondered for a while, and said, "Let's do it, Tian and I go out together. I have been here for more than a month, and the information outside has been interrupted. I also want to buy some newspapers to see if there are any related reports to decide what to do next."

"Okay, okay! Let's go together!" Tian Shengying didn't expect Yangkovic to speak for him. She agreed happily, and pulled him out quickly, for fear that the two security team members would stop him again.

The two team members smiled bitterly.

Tian Shengying is not a company employee, Yang Kovic, nor is he the one they can manage. If we talk about military rank, Yang Kovic is equal to the level of division commander, and the difference between the ranks between them and their soldiers is one in the sky and the other underground. They are not active-duty soldiers, so why should they manage others?

Since they insist on going, then go!

In order to avoid accidents in the warehouse area when they were out, the two of them were alert. The patrol, which had been a little relaxed, was restored.

Tian Shengying and Yangkovic both spoke Japanese. After walking for more than 40 minutes, they arrived at the expressway and waved to stop the car.

Perhaps it was because Yangkovic's white characteristics were too obvious. The drivers probably regarded him as a Western tourist. When they saw someone waving, a car stopped.

This is a load truck that comes from the warehouse area, delivers goods to the factory.

In fluent English, Yangkovic claimed to be an American tourist. He was curious about the busyness of Tokyo Port and wandered around the port. As a result, he missed the tour bus in the group and wanted to ask the driver to take him to the city.

As for Tian Shengying, in order to cover him, he also claimed to be an interpreter.
