"President Hu, I suggest that you immediately replace the main drive system with an air bearing drive mechanism; the damping air chamber should be cancelled and replaced with pure hydraulic oil as the medium; the hydraulic system should be improved, preferably the French Parker hydraulic valve system …and many more"

Li Yao is not afraid of offending people. All the parts related to fluidics put forward his own opinions for Hu Mingzhen's reference.Of course, his opinions may not be all right, but his attitude is correct.This is what Xu Zhenming values.

Hu Mingzhen was also relatively modest at this time. He didn't talk to mechanical expert Li Yao, and first recorded good suggestions.

"Mr. Li, in terms of hydraulic systems and valves, the French Parker company will not provide me with sophisticated products. Therefore, we can only use German products. And this small company has been acquired by us. I suggest that you can also choose products of this brand in the future."

Hu Mingzhen brought out the technical aspects of the hydraulic system for discussion, and shared his research results with Li Yao.The two quickly entered into selfless discussions, and the technology of the lithography machine base system has also been improved a lot.

"Xu Dong, regarding this domestic KrF lithography machine, we are confident to achieve the expected accuracy target." After some discussion, Hu Mingzhen smiled and reported to Xu Zhenming.

It was late at this time, and Li Yao was going to return to Siya Holiday Hotel.

He came to see Xu Zhenming this time and it was a rewarding experience.Xu Zhenming has agreed to replace all the machine tools of Wafangdian Yiming Bearing Company and the equipment of the heat treatment control system.

Speaking of bearing manufacturers, the process technology of the heat treatment workshop is very important, which is directly related to the performance of the bearing.Li Yao has an experimental database for heat treatment, but no good PID control system.

As for the technology department of Yiming Group Company, the technology of PID control system is top-notch in the country.This powerful combination model allows Li Yao to control the quality of heat-treated bearing parts based on experience to a fully automated heat treatment, which is scientific and fast.

"Er Liu, you send President Li to Siya Building, I still have something to do." Seeing that Hu Mingzhen, who had discussed the technical issues, was reluctant to leave, Xu Zhenming had to send Li Yao away first.

Hu Mingzhen asked Xu Zhenming to get into his car, and the two came to Mingxin Manufacturing Company.

"Xu Dong, all the technical schemes for this experiment have been completed. We think the No. 6 process scheme is the most suitable, with an accuracy of 0.22 microns." Just after getting off the car, Hu Mingzhen reported the results of this experiment to Xu Zhenming.He has been holding back for the whole afternoon, and he doesn't vomit.

Hu Mingzhen told Xu Zhenming that at this time, the experiment consumed about 300 million yuan in material and labor costs, and obtained lithography accuracy data of 0.22, 0.24, 0.26, and 0.36 respectively.In general, the experiment has achieved the expected purpose.

"Although we can achieve 0.22 micron lithography accuracy, the production cost will increase by about 15%. The cost of the 0.26 micron solution is not much higher, about 8%. Xu Dong, in my opinion, we still choose the 0.26 micron Foundry process The process is the most suitable."

Hu Mingzhen made a comparison and gave the best solution he recommended.This kind of bill is actually not bad, and it is about the same as the chip manufacturing schedule that Intel is studying in the United States.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenming couldn't help frowning slightly.He didn't make a statement for the time being. He followed Hu Mingzhen to meet Zhang Nyujin who was waiting for the two of them, and wanted to hear Zhang Nyjin's opinion.

And Zhang Nyjin’s opinion is just the opposite of Hu Mingzhen, "I think we should choose a 0.22 micron process to make chips, and start applying it now."

Zhang Neojin told Xu Zhenming that the Foundry process technology of chip manufacturing must be demonstrated by practice.The more new the technology, the more experience is needed through mass production.This is one of the main reasons why all new CPU chips are expensive in the early stages and cheaper in the later stages.

Hearing what he said, Xu Zhenming has made up his mind, "Zhang, I agree with your opinion. Starting tomorrow, you will use the 0.22 micron process technology to produce the Suzaku II series CPU and other chips."

Xu Zhenming also believes that Zhang Neojin’s words are very reasonable, and that it is correct to spend money to learn experience for the future of Mingxin Manufacturing Company.

Not only that, he also asked Zhang Neodymium to make this process technology available to all customers, and to provide 0.22 micron process technology services for Laiming core manufacturing company tape-out customers.Wouldn't it be better to practice skills with the tasks of the customer?

"Xu Dong is right. In this way, the level of chip foundry in China has surpassed Samsung Electronics in Korea and Moss Mechatronics in Wanwan."

"Xu Dong, I will immediately arrange for someone to update the website of Mingxin Manufacturing Company to release the news about the 0.22 micron manufacturing process."

Seeing that the boss had made up his mind, Hu Mingzhen and Zhang Nyjin did not raise any objections, but rather supported them very much.Mingxin Manufacturing Company's process technology has made breakthrough progress, and their faces also have brilliance.

In the evening, an advertisement was posted on the website of Mingxin Manufacturing Company, "The world's most advanced technology, 0.22 micron process technology, welcome you to come to Nan'an City, China to tape out the film."

At this time, the sensation caused can be imagined!

…………

In the United States, Intel Corporation, the conference room of the Planning Department is holding a technical discussion meeting.

On the wall behind the rostrum, the webpage of Mingxin Manufacturing Company is projected.

"Gentlemen, Huaguo Yiming Group has publicly promoted on the website that they have achieved technological breakthroughs and can use 0.22 micron process technology to produce chips. What do you think?" BOSS Johnson of the planning department looked at his subordinates with a gloomy face Little brothers.

Their department is clearly a corporate planning and management department, but in fact it is a department that engages in commercial espionage.As long as there is a turmoil in the industry, they can know.So, as soon as the website of Mingxin Manufacturing Company was updated, Johnson already knew about the shocking news.

As the industry leader, their company is experimenting with a 0.25-micron process technology, and the equipment used is the latest KrF lithography machine.However, the Chinese people using the second-generation lithography machine have actually achieved a breakthrough in process technology.

That's why Johnson will immediately organize today's meeting, and let the little brothers come to consult, what is wrong in the end.

"Boss, I think it should be the islanders who are doing bad things. They used the opportunity of compensating Yiming Group to sell the most advanced KrF lithography machine to the Chinese."

"Tom makes a lot of sense. The islanders are not one mind to us, they want to surpass us all the time."

"BOSS, we should warn the islanders immediately!"

The younger brothers of the Planning Department were filled with outrage and pointed out that this was a conspiracy of the islanders.

These people think that the islanders are supporting the Yiming Group and let the Suzaku series of CPUs emerge to compete with Intel to seek special interests.

After listening to this analysis, Johnson also felt reasonable.

After all, in this age, the lithography machine directly affects the accuracy of the chip manufacturing process.If Yiming Group does not have the third-generation KrF lithography machine, it cannot achieve the Foundry process accuracy of 0.22 microns.

At this point, he immediately gave orders to his younger brothers.

"Tom, your team is responsible for contacting the island country's companies and asking Canon and Nikon. Ask them what they want? Why sell the most advanced KrF lithography machine to the Chinese?"

"Lewis, your team is immediately responsible for contacting Gao Liguo's enterprises and inquiring from the side how Mingxin Manufacturing Company achieved major technological breakthroughs."

"Larson, your team is responsible for contacting Wanwantai Electromechanical Company and asking them to send people to the mainland to investigate the news. Is it true that Yiming Group's advertisement is true?"

In order to verify the content of Mingxin Manufacturing Company's advertising, Johnson arranged for his younger brothers to act immediately instead of worrying about jet lag.He now needs accurate information to report to the big boss.

After arranging these tasks, Johnson hurried out of the meeting room to respond to the situation with the big boss holding the documents.

On this side, Tom’s team members acted immediately and made overseas calls to the island country.

Island country, home of the owner of Canon Precision Instruments.

Shinichi Ikeda, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

"Impossible, our club has never provided KrF lithography machines to Chinese people. What? Can Chinese people use 0.22 micron precision tape out? How is it possible? This violates the laws of science!" Naoichi Ikeda heard the call from the United States. Unable to be surprised, he jumped up from the tatami.

He quickly turned on the computer, connected to the Internet, and logged into the website of Mingxin Manufacturing Company.

The webpage shows, "Extraordinarily good news: Our company's chip Foundry process technology has achieved a major breakthrough, and now has a 0.22 micron process technology, which can provide tape-out services to customers around the world."

Seeing this news, Ikeda's face turned pale.

"How can it be? Did the Chinese have developed their own KrF lithography machine? If this is the case, we must change the strategy of Yiming Group." He could not help muttering to himself, his eyes getting sharper and sharper.

After thinking about it, Shinichi Ikeda decided to call the big boss of the Canon Group immediately.

He couldn't handle this kind of thing.

The same scene happened at this time in the home of the owner of Nikon's confidential equipment manufacturing company.

Kameda Ichiro looked at the computer screen with a dull gaze, and his face was gloomy and muttered, "How did they do it? The mechanical manufacturing technology of the Chinese is so poor, they must not be able to make a KrF lithography machine. If this happens, it can only be Canon has rebelled!"

Kameda Ichiro didn't believe in the advertisement on Mingxin Manufacturing Company's website, but he dared not hide it.

He immediately called his big boss and explained his thoughts again, "President, I think this is a conspiracy of Chinese people who want to obtain the most advanced KrF lithography machine."

"Eh? If your statement is a bit new. Tell me?" The president's gasp came out of the phone, and there was a faint female voice.

Where does Kameda Ichiro don't know what the president is doing?

But he can't make a short run now.

"Report president, once Americans believe that Huaguo can use 0.22 micron process technology to produce chips, they will let go of the KrF lithography machine. In this way, Yiming Group can buy the most advanced third-generation purple light Lithography machine." Kameda Ichiro said in his voice.

"Well...it makes sense. You continue to follow up. If the situation is true, we will immediately obtain orders from the Chinese." At this time, the boss's more satisfactory voice came over the phone.

After a while, the phone was hung up.

"Sleep, this must be Xu Zhenming's conspiracy." Kameda Ichiro thought that he had found the truth, and continued to dream boldly.

On the other side, in the home of Dean Zhang, the owner of Wanwantai Electrical and Mechanical Company.

Dean Zhang is not as hasty as Kameda Ichiro, who is currently browsing the website of Mingxin Manufacturing Company.

"Great news!"

"Major breakthrough!"

"Foundry tape-out business for global customers!"

These words make Dean Zhang feel like sitting on pins and needles.

Mingxin Manufacturing Company has mastered the 0.22 micron process technology and can manufacture chips with the smallest wafers.The manufacturing cost of the same chip is much lower.In this way, Mingxin Manufacturing Company will be able to gain the favor of global chip design companies and snatch away the customers of Moss Electromechanical Company.

Is this okay?

Dean Zhang's head was sweating cold, and his pajamas became soggy.After thinking about it, he immediately picked up the phone and prepared to call Liang Songsong.

Liang Songsong is a good friend with him and Hu Mingzhen’s apprentice, so he can naturally know some technical details.Therefore, Dean Zhang is ready to break through from this person.

The Intel Corporation of the United States has promised to invest in Moss Mechatronics, which will allow Moss Mechatronics to replace the most advanced lithography machine and increase the precision of chip manufacturing to 0.25 microns.

This kind of thing would never have been imagined before.It's better now, the Americans have loosened the tie for Moss Mechanical & Electrical Company.Why is Dean Zhang unhappy?

But it's late at night, is it appropriate to call like this?

After hesitating, Dean Zhang still brazenly called Liang Songsong's prescribed number.

However, there was a "beep beep" sound from the phone, and the line was busy.

"Who else is calling Liang Songsong so late?" He muttered depressed.

Since someone is talking on the phone, it shows that Liang Songsong should not be asleep.Since he is not asleep, I can learn information from him for the first time.

Thinking of this, Dean Zhang brazenly called Liang Songsong's cell phone immediately.Fortunately, the phone is not busy, and someone answers the call.

"Dean Zhang, Lao Liang is answering the phone. It's so late, haven't you rested yet?" After the call was connected, a middle-aged woman's voice came.

Dean Zhang is no stranger to this person, she is the wife of Liang Songsong Gao Liguo.He took the opportunity to ask: "Lao Liang hasn't slept so late, did he just come back from working overtime?"

"Who said no! Their company is working on a cutting-edge project, and they often work overtime these days!" Mrs. Liang complained on the phone.

"Cutting-edge topics? What tricks can we do with the second-hand equipment of Mingxin Manufacturing Company?"

"Oh? No, no, Dean Zhang. You can't underestimate our old Liang. Their team uses the worst production line and seems to have made major technological breakthroughs." Mrs. Liang does not allow others to underestimate her husband.

She told Dean Zhang that Liang Songsong and Hu Mingzhen’s team used the existing production lines of Mingxin Manufacturing Company to develop the most advanced process technology in the world.

"Because of this breakthrough, their boss wants to reward team members with 5% of the shares. Do you know how much the 5% of Mingxin Manufacturing Company's shares are worth? 150 million yuan! Hahaha..." Mrs. Liang smiled proudly.

Hearing this shocking news, Dean Zhang shuddered suddenly.
