Rebirth of Black Technology Supplier

Chapter 1 Black Technology System
"Gentlemen, I'm terribly sorry that our delivery date has been extended due to fire concerns."

"Follow-up matters, we still need to discuss in detail at the negotiating table."

In a daze, Wang Hang heard someone talking, and the tone was gloomy.

Then, he vaguely heard some messy Mandarin, and the owner of the Mandarin sounded very excited.

"Are you kidding us, Mr. Essack?"

"We have already handed over the deposit to your company a year ago. Now that the delivery date is approaching, you said that there will be a delay in case of a fire?"

"You are committing commercial fraud, we can sue you!"

"."

Wang Hang felt vaguely familiar with this conversation. He was sure that he had heard the same conversation at a certain time and place.

He slowly opened his eyes, then completely froze.

At this moment, he was sitting in a conference room, surrounded by a white man with several oriental faces, arguing fiercely.

"This is... ASML Company?!"

With the flood of memories, Wang Hang finally figured out his current situation.

He was reborn and returned to ten years ago!
Now, he is at ASML headquarters.

A few days ago, he came here on a business trip with the negotiators of Huaxin International, the purpose of which was to produce an EUV lithography machine worth more than one billion yuan produced by ASML.

This is currently the most advanced lithography machine in the world. Chip wafers below 5nm can only be produced by EUV lithography machines.

But now because of an inexplicable fire, the other party's delivery date has been extended to next year, which is 2020.

But Huaxin International's negotiators knew that the fire was just a poor excuse.

"Gentlemen, please calm down." The white man named Essek said with a helpless expression, "We are also very sorry that this happened, but the matter has come to this point, and we, ASML, can only extend the delivery date."

Hong Ming, the representative of Huaxin International this time, suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "I hope to hear another news at the meeting between the two parties tomorrow."

Essek shook his head and laughed: "I hope so."

As a reborn person, Wang Hang naturally knew the time of the fire.

In 2018, Huaxin International ordered a 7nm EUV lithography machine from ASML.

What is EUV lithography machine?
It is known as the crystallization of wisdom in the industrial age of mankind, and it is a necessary instrument for manufacturing high-end chips.

An EUV lithography machine involves several industries such as optics, machinery, circuits, and physics. The machine has more than 13 small parts and [-] subsystems.

For such a complex machine, the minimum process node is 7nm. Simply put, even if there is only one ten-thousandth of a hair-like defect, the success rate of the machine product will be greatly reduced and it will become a defective product.

Huaguo has a very large demand for chips, but it is unable to independently develop such a sophisticated lithography machine, so it can only buy from abroad.

Moreover, this thing is not made by ASML itself, ASML is only a processing factory responsible for assembly.

The light source equipment of the lithography machine comes from the beautiful country; the mechanical technology and the world's most advanced lens are masterpieces of Germany; the optical technology comes from the neon country;
The light source equipment of the lithography machine comes from the beautiful country; Germany provides advanced mechanical technology and world-class Zeiss lenses; the optical equipment technology comes from the Neon country; the process distribution technology is jointly provided by Intel, TSMC and Samsung; there are also bearings, screws , are supplied individually by each country...

Of course, these are shareholders of ASML and have the priority to supply lithography machines.

It's a pity that there is no Huaguo alone.

According to Wang Hang's memory, even a few years later, Huaguo still failed to buy EUV lithography machines, and high-end chips still had to rely on TSMC.

Hong Ming is also an experienced person. After experiencing the initial anger, he quickly guessed the root of the problem.

After all, ASML is a commercial company, and it would be a fool not to make money if it has money. I'm afraid that someone is obstructing it.

"Let's go back to the hotel first, contact the embassy, ​​and see if we can continue the negotiation."

Without saying a word, Wang Hang left silently with the group, and finally returned to the hotel where he was staying.

He is actually just a rich second generation of a private enterprise. This time, he was able to negotiate with ASML because his father spent a lot of money. He wanted Wang Hang to take the opportunity to see the world and get acquainted with the industry by the way. .

It's good if you can go with him, but if you speak rashly, you don't know how to behave.

Half an hour later, a news report aroused widespread concern in the society.

"According to Reuters news, a fire broke out at ASML, and it was originally planned to deliver the EUV lithography machine project to Huaxin International. According to sources, the delivery time will be extended."

Huaguo's purchase of lithography machines has always attracted the attention of all walks of life.

"Let me just say, it is impossible for Huaguo to buy a lithography machine, and the West will not allow Huaguo to catch up in the high-tech industry (Fusang language)"

"There must be something tricky in here!"

"If you don't sell it, don't sell it. It's the same as who cares about it. At worst, we independently develop it. I don't believe it. We used to be able to develop the atomic bomb without technology. Now we have everything, and we still can't make a lithography machine!"

"(Laughing and crying) You are really ignorant Chinese people. You really think that high-precision technology is a Chinese cabbage on the roadside, and you can grow it if you want to."

"The chip industry has always been a pain for us in Huaguo. I hope that the people of the country will stop being blindly confident. I hope that the country will vigorously develop carbon-based chips and achieve complete cornering overtaking. Otherwise, we can only be slaughtered."

Looking at these comments, Wang Hang sighed helplessly.

The atomic bomb and the lithography machine are always different.

It's not a question of technical difficulty, but the level of the two is different.

As for the atomic bomb, it is enough to get it out. As for its explosive lethality, whether it is 10 equivalent or 15 equivalent is not the key.

But the lithography machine is different. Every 1 nanometer of precision will be the difference between heaven and earth.

Just as Wang Hang stared at the news report depressedly, a virtual screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

[The black technology system is in place! 】

[This system is committed to improving the technological level of the plane where the host is located, and will help the host to improve the scientific and technological level of the plane from all aspects]

[Current system level 1: (0/100), the higher the system level, the more types of technology to unlock. 】

[Release novice task: Ask the host to register a technology company of its own, with a registered capital of > 500 million RMB.Task reward: 100 experience points, 200 points, low-level production line upgrade card*1, production line efficiency card*1]

[Newbie task time limit: 7 days. 】

[Acquired the challenge task - the beginning of the lithography machine: defeat ASML, and let Huaguo's self-developed lithography machine become the industry leader, time limit: 1 year. 】

Wang Hang: "???"
