Xu Zhenming's sigh was really helpless.This is the case with domestic optical glass manufacturers, and he has no choice.What made him feel a little unpleasant is, how come Hu Lei and Li Feng, two old experts in charge of optical glass, didn't move?
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to interrupt Professor Hao Ning's speech, "Mr. Hao, hasn't our group company introduced optical glass production lines from Korea?"
"Report to Dong Xu that the production line we introduced is still in the debugging stage and cannot be put into production for a while."
"Xu Dong, apart from this problem, there is no high-purity quartz sand in China. We have to introduce more advanced quartz sand purification production lines."
At this time, Hu Lei and Li Feng, who were sitting near Professor Hao Ning, saw Xu Zhenming asking questions about him and quickly raised their hands to report the situation.
The introduction of quartz sand is not simple, it involves a series of production processes such as chemical acid hydrolysis, magnetic separation, and water washing.In this production process, a large amount of industrial wastewater will be produced.The country has been very strict about environmental pollution, and the teams of Hu Lei and Li Feng have to pay attention to it.
Hearing these words, Xu Zhenming looked at Wanninggu who is proficient in silicon wafer production."Mr. Wan, you are a material expert. Is there a process for producing silicon wafers and quartz optical glass together?"
"Yes, it's not worth it, Dong Xu." Hearing this, Wanning Gu shook his head straight and advised Xu Zhenming not to use high-grade silicon wafer materials.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenming remembered another good idea."Mr. Hu, you have used pure crystals to grind optical lenses. Can such optical lenses be used?"
Xu Zhenming was a little anxious, and prepared to use the best materials for laser optical instruments and laser optical system.
Upon hearing this, both Hu Lei and Li Feng were taken aback for an instant, and looked at Xu Zhenming with surprise.
"Xu Dong, the cost of pure crystal is too high, more than twenty times that of imported optical glass. Are you sure you want to use this material?"
"Also, crystal glass is a crystal, which cannot be remelted at high temperature and has poor versatility. Xu Dong, we might as well buy German optical glass raw materials in this way."
Hu Lei and Li Feng introduced the disadvantages of using crystal glass to Xu Zhenming.According to their vision, using crystal glass for optical instruments and laser light path systems has no commercial value at all.If you want to build a lithography machine as a research task, this method can be a try.
Hearing this, Xu Zhenming finally died completely, "You two must debug the domestic optical glass production line as soon as possible. We will buy whatever is lacking. In short, the Chinese must be able to produce qualified laser optical glass. "
Having said this, he gave Hao Ning the right to speak again, and asked Hao Ning to continue to introduce the development of the laser light source system project.
"Xu Dong and colleagues, although we are not capable of producing optical glass, we have developed the optical instruments, optical lenses, and optical path system of the laser light source system. These two systems are undergoing laser testing and verification, and they should be finalized soon. ."
"In addition, the krypton fluoride laser generator developed by our team has actually made a prototype. Because the power of this prototype is too large, it will affect the economic benefits of the lithography machine. So we are improving and developing the first Two laser generators."
While talking, Professor Hao Ning moved the mouse to project the photo of the krypton fluoride laser generator on the big screen.
"Well...the volume is a bit big!"
"The laser generator in the U.S. looks like a suitcase. You are like a container."
"This product really cannot be sold as a commodity."
Seeing the huge laser generator in the picture, Hu Mingzhen, Wanninggu, He Changlin and others all suggested the same.
These people have already seen the disassembled krypton fluoride laser generator, but of course they cannot accept that their products are much worse.
According to the requirements of Hu Mingzhen, the domestically produced krypton fluoride laser generator is more advanced than American products, and at least not too far behind.
Hearing this discussion, Professor Hao Ning shook his head with a wry smile, "My colleagues, I am also not satisfied with my work, I am improving and improving!"
"Mr Hao, you have done a good job and deserve to be praised." At this time, Xu Zhenming took the lead in praising Hao Ning's team.
In his opinion, Hao Ning's group can get the first domestic krypton fluoride laser generator, they have done a good job, at least much better than the team of Director Zhao.
As for how Hao Ning and others improved the laser generator, Xu Zhenming believed that we should first imitate the products of foreigners and understand the technology of others.Then innovate and come up with a truly localized krypton fluoride laser generator.
Thinking of this, he winked at Hu Mingzhen and asked Hu Mingzhen to continue the topic.
Hu Mingzhen saw this scene and immediately understood.He turned on his laptop and showed photos of the laser generator imported from the United States.
"Xu Dong, colleagues, this laser generator was disassembled from a third-generation lithography machine in the United States. Because our team is not a professional, we did not disassemble this laser generator."
"Professor Hao, I suggest that your team members take this laser generator apart to see the principles of American products, find inspiration, and then design our products."
Hu Mingzhen smiled and proposed.His remarks were relatively tactful, and it was useless to directly say that Professor Hao Ning's team should imitate the products of the U.S. people, which was considered to save Hao Ning's face.
However, Hao Ning didn't care about the face."Great. With this American sample, our team should be able to make a second krypton fluoride laser generator soon." He was very excited and slapped him on the conference table.
Hao Ning used to be an exchange scholar in the U.S. and used an experimental krypton fluoride laser generator.Even the argon fluoride laser generator, he has used it.
These two types of laser generators, collectively referred to as halide laser generators in university laboratories in the United States, are used by scientific researchers for experiments and cannot be used as industrial-grade products.
After returning to China, Professor Hao Ning has been contacting to buy these halide laser generators, but the Americans have prevented this trade with the reason that cutting-edge instruments cannot flow into China.Therefore, he can only use the information he brought back to conduct research and imitate similar laser generators.
Now it's good, there is an industrial-grade sample for reference, Professor Hao Ning is not happy."Xu Dong, when can we look at the samples?" he asked Xu Zhenming impatiently.
Xu Zhenming smiled when he heard the words, "Then it depends on the progress of your work report? If the meeting progresses quickly, we can go to the laboratory to see foreigners' products in the afternoon."
Hearing this, Horning suddenly became energetic, and immediately accelerated the progress of the work report.
In general, the progress of various projects of the Jiangxia Optics Valley company he is responsible for is quite good, much faster than the other branches that Xu Zhenming has deployed across the country.
For example, Jiangxia Optics Valley Company has begun to produce carbon dioxide laser knives to supply the headquarters of Yiming Group.Ma Jimin's team is experimenting with this laser knife and preparing to develop a laser CNC cutting machine.
For another example, Hu Lei and Li Feng's team has organized the workshop of the wireless factory and is installing an optical glass production line.
...Wait, wait, and so on.
In a word, Xu Zhenming used Professor Hao Ning as a professional person to manage Jiangxia Optics Valley Company. The project is progressing smoothly, and the branch company's benefits are very good, and there is no waste of resources.
After listening to the report, Xu Zhenming waved his hand with satisfaction and announced the end of the meeting.After a short while, he led Professor Hao Ning and others to follow Hu Mingzhen to the test workshop of the third-generation lithography machine.
This test workshop is more than 10,000 square meters, which is about one-third of the entire steel structure workshop. It is a clean and dust-free workshop and maintains a temperature all year round.
The first thing that catches everyone's eyes is the main body of a lithography machine with the shell removed.Next to this main body of lithography, there is another main body of the lithography machine that is half assembled.
"How come there are two main bodies of lithography machines?"
"The other one should be the third-generation lithography machine manufactured by ourselves. Lao Wan, don't you see the nameplate logo on the main body? The YM logo is a trademark of our group company."
"My dear, it seems that the lithography machine developed by our group company is just a step away."
Seeing this scene, Hao Ning's team members were very excited to discuss.They knew that the headquarters was developing the third-generation lithography machine made in China, but they didn't expect the progress here to be so fast, they were waiting for their laser light source system.
"Dong Xu and Mr. Hu, is this lithography machine developed by our company? How are balance and shock absorption solved?" Hao Ning is also an expert, surrounded by the main body of the lithography machine made by Yiming Group. The system turned a few times.
He knows that when the lithography machine is working, the amount of vibration must be very small, otherwise it will affect the yield of the chip.Once the yield rate is lower than 95%, this lithography machine is a failed test product and can only be redesigned and remodeled.
Hearing this, Xu Zhenming, a layman, was really hard to answer.He glanced at Hu Mingzhen beside him and motioned to the old man to come and rescue him.
"Professor Hao and colleagues, our third-generation lithography machine main system of our own production line has passed the machine accuracy test. The accuracy of the main system of the lithography machine assault positioning reaches about 0.0001. According to this level of accuracy, our The equipment is no worse than that of the U.S. countrymen."
While speaking, Hu Mingzhen deliberately raised his chest, and pointed his right finger at the imported goods of the Miguo not far away.
Since Xu Zhenming brought Li Yao's air bearing transmission system to Yiming Group, the team members of Hu Mingzhen once again modified the production process and transmission system of the lithography machine and other related transmission mechanisms.The main system of this third-generation lithography machine has greatly improved the accuracy of its accessories, and the progress of the machine has naturally improved a lot.
"Eh? The main system of the lithography machine we are studying is actually comparable to similar products of foreigners." After hearing what Hu Mingzhen said just now, Hao Ning couldn't help but waved his hands in excitement.In any case, he also wants to see the birth of the domestic third lithography machine as soon as possible, and even distribute goods to the world.
Because of curiosity, everyone wandered around the base plate of this nationally produced lithography machine for a long time before leaving.
"Is the lithography machine a camera?"
"I think it's like the principle of a printer, the requirements of the lithography machine are so strict?"
Everyone was discussing while watching the equipment.
After watching for a long time, everyone walked towards the inner room of the workshop.In this room, the dismantled laser light source system is stacked.
The laser light source system includes many subsystems such as laser optical instruments, laser optical system, and laser lens system.Among these systems, the krypton fluoride laser generator is really not very large, like a suitcase.
Besides, the overall structure of the third-generation lithography machine that was disassembled was very small and could not fit a large laser generator.
"The workmanship of the U.S. countryman is very exquisite, and the volume of the laser generator is really small."
"Look at the power of this laser generator. It is only a fraction of the power of our first experimental model laser generator."
"From this point of view, we must immediately imitate the products of the countrymen, otherwise it will be eliminated by the market."
Hao Ning and others leaned down, approached the imported laser generator, and began to check product details.
Seeing this scene, Hu Mingzhen smiled, "Mr. Hao, you don't have to watch it in such a hurry. You can ship this system back to Jiangxia at any time."
"Eh? Can we really ship it back?" Hao Ning straightened up excitedly when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Xu Zhenming.
If this light source system could be shipped back to Jiang Xiaguang Company, he would dare to issue a military order to produce the domestically produced krypton fluoride laser generator within two months.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zhenming smiled and stretched out two fingers towards Professor Hao Ning:
"Your team has two choices: First, you can ship the entire laser light source system back for research and development, but you must pay attention to protecting this system; the second method, you can stay in the group company headquarters for a long time until the project technology Just go back."
Hearing Xu Zhenming’s words, Professor Hao Ning hesitated, “Our laboratory can work here and go home after completing the project. But what about the laser optical system, laser instrument system, laser lens and other products? It doesn't seem appropriate to stay here!"
Thinking of this, Professor Hao Ning turned around and looked at Hu Lei and Li Feng."What is your opinion?"
"If the project we are responsible for is doing research and development at the headquarters, it's actually okay, but what about product testing...Without instrumentation, it seems a bit can't keep up!"
"So Lao Hu, in my opinion, it is more appropriate for us to go back and engage in research and development."
Hu Lei discussed with Li Feng and told Xu Zhenming of his decision.
The two of them are doing things very steadily, thinking that the conditions for research and development in Jiangxia City are good, and the results will be faster.
In this case, Xu Zhenming would definitely support him, and he made a decision with Hu Mingzhen on the spot: "You immediately arrange manpower and prepare to package the laser light source system of this lithography machine and send it to Jiangxia Optics Valley Company."
In order to achieve early results, Xu Zhenming did not delay at all and decided to use a special car the next night to send samples of spare parts needed by Hao Ning's team to Jiangxia City.
"What do you want?" Xu Zhenming asked Professor Hao Ning with a smile after arranging the task.
Xu Zhenming's sigh was really helpless.This is the case with domestic optical glass manufacturers, and he has no choice.What made him feel a little unpleasant is, how come Hu Lei and Li Feng, two old experts in charge of optical glass, didn't move?
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to interrupt Professor Hao Ning's speech, "Mr. Hao, hasn't our group company introduced optical glass production lines from Korea?"
