Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2009

When will researchers and technology companies stop thinking about developing high-tech products to defeat their competitors and instead choose to use suggestive tones to tell "investors" what they should do in order to obtain information about project results?

Dr. Rosen has made remarkable achievements in recent years. He has focused on scientific research and successfully cracked the password lock program of Jiuzhou Technology that other technology companies could not crack. He has even been able to crack and reverse-engineer Jiuzhou Technology's processes and technologies, and at a high cost, create an intelligent robot that can perform short-term high-intensity actions.

The short robot promotional video released by Rosen Technology was regarded as the Bible by major Western investors and users who admire Western technology and have been praised for a long time.

However, due to the discovery of program bugs that could not be fixed and the robot's inability to achieve intelligent interaction for even a short period of time, Rosen Technology did not publicly display the intelligent robot. This made many people feel deceived and some even cursed Rosen Technology as a scam company on the Internet.

But that is the venting of ordinary people. For those investors who have entered Rosen Technology Company many times and have inquired through their respective permissions that Rosen Technology has mastered the leading technology, Rosen Technology Company is the chosen one who is only short of being bestowed with real weapons by the goddess of luck.

Moreover, these senior executives, based on their usual communications with the think tank team, all had an epiphany.

“Yes, it’s a photolithography machine!”

"The photolithography machine can make semiconductor chips better, improve chip performance, significantly increase computing power, and improve the performance of other semiconductor electronic devices."

"We can let Rosen Technology break into Jiuzhou Technology's lithography machine, customize the name, and then grant it a patent."

"This is the last piece of the puzzle! As long as we get the lithography machine, we can bring our company back to life! Although we have invested in companies like Suiren Technology and Xiaxin Technology, we do not have control over them."

"On the battlefield, a reliable chip is the most terrifying intelligent weapon."

Well, the composition of these people is actually quite complicated.

Rights are only responsible for the source of rights and do not do much endorsement for their identity.

However, having sat in the seat of power for too long, these people often forget that power not only has a source, but also has a more substantial foundation.

The rapid advancement of semiconductor technology has spawned many innovations and technological inventions, because higher-performance chips and more stable chips can provide new solutions for various fields, thereby improving users' quality of life and work efficiency.

When Dr. Rosen attributed the stagnation of all project progress to the backwardness of semiconductor lithography equipment, a storm sweeping across Western technology companies from top to bottom was gathering strength.

AS-ML lithography company CEO Fuquet soon received an invitation to a small meeting.

Because of the identity of the inviter and the special location of the meeting, he did not despise it at all. Instead, in just a few hours, he made a detailed review of the operating conditions and project progress of AS-ML in recent years, and then drank a cup of Taoyao and entered the meeting room. Perhaps because the active ingredients of Taoyao can make people full of confidence, when asked about the competition in the semiconductor industry a few years ago, ASML Lithography Company CEO Fu Kai said confidently: "I said at the beginning that it is meaningless to prevent others from producing what they need.

Just like the natural gas of the polar bear, people have realized that they must find alternatives and have successfully found mining sites. As for the lithography machine project, although it was not available at the time, it was precisely because we left Daxia without the latest lithography machines that Jiuzhou Technology, with the help of Daxia’s major universities, enterprises and institutions, completed the reconstruction and upgrade of the lithography machines. "

However, when asked about the technological gap between ASML's most powerful lithography machine and Jiuzhou Xiaoguang Technology's lithography machine, the high-spirited CEO could only say with emotion: "Ten years ago, in terms of semiconductor technology, all lithography machine companies in Daxia were still ten years behind our technology, but ten years later, we are at least five years behind Xiaoguang Technology's lithography machine technology.

According to a joint survey and forecast by the expert team of SEMI, the International Semiconductor Industry Association, and our company's technical experts, it is estimated that by the year 1030 of the Xia Yin calendar, all semiconductor companies in Daxia will reach a monthly production capacity of 2050 million pieces, accounting for about two-thirds of the world's total production. "

The once small market, where you had to get a quota to buy a radio, now has two-thirds of the world's semiconductor chip production capacity.

After letting the real power holders behind these directors know more detailed data and a clearer understanding of the technological gap, when Fukai was asked again whether ASML could manufacture SS1ML engraving equipment, he could only shake his head and said: "Given the complexity of the development process, it is far from possible now.

If we can be provided with about a thousand Kyushu certified semiconductor engineers, perhaps we can complete the technical design within five years and manufacture a lithography machine that is no worse than the first generation SS1ML within ten years.

You should know that a photolithography machine is not just a high-precision device that can handle a light source. It also requires supporting process technology and consumable materials, all of which require time and resource investment. "

Although this is Fu Kai's best idea for catching up with Jiuzhou Technology's lithography machines, it is completely unable to satisfy the appetite of these controllers.

Ten years is too long, even five years is unacceptable to them.

After learning that ASML would not be able to catch up with Jiuzhou Technology's lithography machine technology in a short period of time, combined with some information provided by Dr. Rosen, a piece of news that made all netizens who like to surf the Internet around the world feel a little weird was released.

"ASML is seeking technology investment from Daxia Pudong Lithography Machine Company", "Uncle Sam's team is discussing a comprehensive reduction in tariffs", "The Federal Reserve announced that it will no longer expand its balance sheet on a large scale"...

Stanford University, Harvard, MIT, Pennsylvania State University, and even the rather unique Yale University, have all come together to express their goodwill based on the cooperative projects they have built over the years in the education industry.

"We believe that the personal qualities of international students at Daxia are extremely excellent, so we can expand the number of international student exchanges in the future. At the same time, we are willing to provide accommodation, tuition and food expenses for students from your school."

"Xishu University is one of the best colleges in the world. We hope to reach an exchange agreement with your university..."
