Chapter 467: Domestic EUV lithography machine released!
Hearing Xu You's words, Luo Wenkun was stunned at first.
"We have already started preparing for the system ecology...haven't we? Those companies have signed cooperation and agreed to develop software that is compatible with our system. It's all in black and white in the contract. What else do we need to prepare? Are we worried that they will suddenly breach the contract?"
It’s not that such a thing is absolutely impossible to happen, but at least the possibility of it happening is very low.
Even when cooperating with foreign companies, under normal circumstances, they will not easily violate their contracts.
This will not only seriously affect the image of one's own company, but also face a series of other problems brought about by breach of contract.
"Wen Kun, you know that the emergence of Fulong Technology has had a great impact on their interests. They are not willing to cooperate this time, but are forced to do so. If they really can't stand our rise, sooner or later there will be a day when both sides will be destroyed. We must be prepared and improve our system ecosystem as soon as possible to prevent that day from coming suddenly."
Since the United States even uses a piece of our alloy on its airplanes, it will be cautious and eager to replace it.
Then we should always be vigilant and use all our own technologies so that we don't have to worry about them suddenly suspending cooperation.
Luo Wenkun hesitated for a while, but decided to agree with Xu You's idea.
"Although I personally think that this possibility is not great, I still support your point of view. Let's improve our system ecosystem as soon as possible. Anyway, this is a job we will have to do sooner or later. However, the workload of this job is too large, and it is unlikely to be well completed in the short term."
Before entering the computer field, Xu You and Luo Wenkun had a deep discussion on this issue.
At that time, Xu You and Luo Wenkun both felt that just making an office software similar to Office would be a very large project.
Creating a complete independent system ecosystem may be a task that cannot be accomplished in ten or even twenty years.
But after Xu You and Lou Song further explored the capabilities of mathematical artificial intelligence, Xu You had a new perspective on this issue.
"I'm not that pessimistic. I used to have some bias in my judgment of the capabilities of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence can have far more application value, and can even help us make more contributions in software design. The software on the market now seems to be very mature, but it may not be the final answer. If we can make software that is better than them, I believe users will make more wise choices."
During this period, Xu You had already counted the main functions, features, and existing problems of many software including Office, Mathematica, Photoshop, etc.
These softwares have been tested for a long time and are very mature, and can realize a variety of powerful functions.
There are also many details in the design, which are not so easy to develop.
However, as long as the algorithmic artificial intelligence is allowed to learn fully and understand the ultimate purpose of these software, it is not impossible to create new software that is close to or even surpasses these software.
Of course, the reason why Xu You was so confident about this matter was because of the information provided by Lou Song.
Lou Song obtained this key information in a way that Xu You did not understand.
If Lou Song's information is confirmed to be correct, the work of building a complete system ecosystem is no longer a preparation for a rainy day, but something that must be completed immediately.
However, Xu You cannot explain this matter directly to anyone.
These are the secrets between Xu You and Lou Song.
…
While many tasks such as chip design and manufacturing, system improvement, and system ecosystem construction are in full swing.
A good news suddenly appeared.
The domestically produced EUV lithography machine has finally completed testing and can be used for chip preparation.
We did not deliberately avoid this news, but announced it to the public very quickly.
"The first domestically produced EUV lithography machine, jointly developed by Fulong Technology, Xiawei Technology, and Modu Microelectronics, was officially released recently! The model of this lithography machine is named FL0001, with a wafer throughput of 180 pieces at 30mJ/cm^2 and a numerical aperture of 0.55."
"The entire FL0001 lithography machine has more than 100,000 parts and equipment, and more than 40 containers are needed for transportation. Theoretically, FL0001 can achieve a process technology of up to 3nm chips. In terms of energy consumption, FL0001 also has excellent control, with a rated power consumption of 500,000 watts, which is about 50% energy-saving compared to EUV lithography machines of similar functions from competitors."
Once this news was announced, it immediately set off the entire social network.
In recent years, due to the rise of Chinese academia and scientific research, all sectors of society have paid more and more attention to various academic and technological news, and it is often some scientific and technological achievements that occupy the hot search list.
Gossip about entertainment stars is ignored by the public and no longer paid attention to by most netizens.
"What? The domestically produced EUV lithography machine was released so soon? It can produce a process technology up to 3nm? Oh my God! What great news! The competition for Huami chips is finally coming to an end!"
"With EUV lithography, our dependence on Western technology will be further reduced. Before long, we will be able to use our own technology to manufacture the most advanced chips."
"Haha, these bans they have been implementing have accelerated our research on chip technology to some extent. In the end, they still shot themselves in the foot. From now on, we are no longer afraid of any bans."
Before long, the news spread all over the world.
…
In the conference room.
Everyone looked depressed, and even the air seemed suffocating.
"They...actually built an EUV lithography machine!"
No one would believe this news easily.
However, since the news has been announced to the public, it is definitely not fake news.
In this regard, rabbits have always been very calm and conservative.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! We only revealed more than ten technologies to them, and they can build a complete EUV lithography machine? The entire lithography machine has more than 100,000 parts!"
Until now, they couldn't believe how the rabbit managed to do the job.
"Haven't you contacted Mr. SPY yet?"
"No. Mr. SPY has been out of contact for a while, and there is no news about him. We suspect that Mr. SPY may have been exposed long ago."
