Chapter 291 Two lithography machines suddenly appeared
2015 was an extraordinary year, although the United States made a big fight and imposed sanctions on Mengyuan.

Trying to make Mengyuan Group in 2016 have no chips available, and can't supply chips.

But their own losses are not small.

Many battery manufacturers can't go on.

Because at the end of December, Mengyuan Group announced that their lithium-sulfur batteries can be applied to electric vehicles and new energy vehicles.

Those car factories in the United States are very entangled. They also want to use the latest energy technology of lithium-sulfur batteries.

After all, the two most prominent features of lithium-sulfur batteries are durability and long life.

If a lithium-sulfur battery is used, a new energy vehicle that can run 250 kilometers with a lithium battery will have a range of at least 600 kilometers.

Very importantly, lithium-sulfur batteries have a long lifespan and are very suitable for new energy vehicles.

Cost is not a problem, the main thing is that others have it but they don’t, so how can they compete?
Because of sanctions, they want to import lithium-sulfur batteries from Mengyuan, and they need 10 times the normal price!
In all countries except the United States, the price is basically normal. Although it is a bit expensive compared to lithium batteries, it is very worth it.

Ma Elon, the boss of Tesla, wanted to negotiate with Mengyuan Group, but was rejected.

If the U.S. sanctions against Mengyuan Group are not revoked, then U.S. companies wanting to buy lithium-sulfur batteries will always be 10 times the normal price.

As for the stock prices of Qualcomm and ARM, they were directly cut in half.

Although ARM is not American...

Apple has almost lost its market in Zhuxia, and its market share has dropped by half, which is really miserable.

And Mengyuan removed all their apps from Apple's app store, which is a matter within Zhuxia's territory.

Mengyuan Group's foreign business has no direct recharge, and its influence abroad is not great, and the European Union can't control it.

Apple sued Mengyuan Group in China again, and was replied that this is a normal business practice, because it is up to them to decide whether to remove the software or not.

This is the consequence of the dream source of American sanctions.

But they only think that the current loss is only temporary, and they directly prohibit the chip foundry from manufacturing for them, defeating Mengyuan's chips and forcing them to give up the MY S series chips.

Chips that are 2 to 5 years ahead of friends are so useless!
And their CMOS can't be brought up because of computing power.

Then they can only use Qualcomm chips.

If Qualcomm's chips are used, won't Qualcomm get up?
Other Zhuxia mobile phone manufacturers have no other chips available and will return to Qualcomm.

This calculation is very good.

Even many people at home and abroad believe that Mengyuan Group is really hopeless this year.

Because foundry chips are directly prohibited, even if Mengyuan Group makes a powerful chip, there is still no way to produce it without a lithography machine.

They can't use it themselves, let alone sell it to others.

"Could it be that Mengyuan's chip glory only lasted for one generation, and is it about to decline? Will Mengyuan and the others bow their heads to the United States? Is lithography machine so difficult to manufacture?"

These questions frequently appear on various domestic topics, and many people know that this year is an extremely difficult year for Mengyuan Group.

The mobile phone business they are proud of has maintained the number one in the world for two years. The United States has imposed sanctions to prevent them from producing chips.

So what should they do?
The outside world has doubts about Mengyuan Group, and I hope that Shen Yi can say something at this time to stabilize the domestic netizens.

Weibo will always be Shen Yi's first front line,

"Don't worry everyone, our Mengyuan Group is invincible in the United States. Even if they ban TSMC from manufacturing for us, they will not be able to defeat the entire Mengyuan Group. The mobile phone business is only one of our businesses. Even if it is less, we are still The world's top 100.

American hegemony will eventually be overthrown, because the enemy he chose, Xinghuo, is a very creative company with great potential.What they have done is bound to be bloody.

We are developing lithography machines, but it will take some time. Since they don't want us to be better, then we will do better than them. "

After saying these bold words, Shen Yi fell into deep thought.

The current situation is actually not a big deal. In fact, the way to break the situation is very simple.

A long time ago, he discovered something in his plug-in, called [seeing is believing].

This cheat can turn what he sees into reality.

Which means he can do anything with this.

Perhaps it can also create high-tech products that cannot be produced by modern technology, such as laser swords and the like.

But right now he can be used to break the situation.

Take a photo of a 10nm lithography machine directly, and then directly transform into a lithography machine.

It's just that the origin is not easy to explain.

The origin is not easy to explain, so let's not explain it, let this matter become a supernatural event.

Shen Yi found the president of ASML and had a chat with him.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Shen. It's a pity that we didn't make the last deal. It's all because of the damn America."

"That's really a pity. Let's let this matter pass. It's nothing if the deal didn't succeed. Today I mainly want to ask you for an important matter."

"Oh, tell me, if I can help, I will."

"Can you send me some pictures of the 10nm lithography machine? I want to see what the machine looks like."

"Of course, if you need it, we can also send 14 nanometers."

"No, no, I just need a picture of the 10nm lithography machine, can you send it to my email?"

"Okay, I happen to have nothing to do right now."

Shen Yi got the front panoramic picture of the 10nm lithography machine from the mailbox, and there is also a side view.

According to his prediction, the high-end lithography machine developed by Mengyuan Group itself will take about two years to be manufactured, which is about this time in 2018.

So before that, we had to use this 10nm lithography machine.

Now everyone in the company has left, and the night is quiet, even the security guards who are on duty are asleep.

It was about 9 o'clock in the evening, and Shen Yi walked out of the new headquarters of Mengyuan Group silently.

The new headquarters of Mengyuan Group can be said to be the pinnacle of all domestic private enterprises.

There is a lot of open space in here.

But there are not many surveillance cameras.

Shen Yi silently walked to a flat place, and then took out the picture of the 10nm lithography machine sent to him by the boss of ASML.

Less than half a minute.

There are three more 10nm lithography machines that look like super-large buses in this open space.

Then Shen Yi left silently, and got into his newly bought car - Phantom.

Then he drove to his home, as if nothing happened just now.

His home is quite close to here, it only takes 20 minutes by car.

The two children in Shen Yi's family are already two and a half years old, and these two children are quite reassuring.

Guan Yao was so free that she didn't even want to take care of her children anymore, she wanted to go back to the company to finish her work sooner.

Her novel in Jinhe has been finished and the results are very good.

She has always been working in the system department of Mengyuan Group, developing the Mengyuan system on the computer and optimizing the Mengyuan system on the mobile phone. These things are all led by her.

It has to be said that Guan Yao's prestige in the operating system department is still very high, because there are many technical problems that are solved by her.

The deputy director who originally supported was only to temporarily replace Guan Yao, and now Guan Yao's position is basically irreplaceable.

So she desperately wants to go back to Mengyuan, because the pressure from Mengyuan Group and Shen Yi has been very great this year.

She wanted to share the pressure for Shen Yi.

Although she has been at home for so long, she has not lost anything technically, and she is even more technically savvy than when she just left Mengyuan.

Shen Yi quickly agreed with her idea and asked her to join the company immediately after the Chinese New Year. It was still the beginning of 2016, and Guan Yao started to read the company documents and understand the software projects, so as to integrate with Mengyuan Group in real time.

Soon she will be back.

The two children are very worry-free, as long as they are left to Shen Yi's parents to take care of them, anyway, they don't see them all day long.

Going to work at 9 am and leaving get off work at 5 pm, there is still a lot of time to play with the children.

The two children are getting more and more refined, and their parents are both good-looking, so naturally they can't be any worse.

The most beautiful one is Xiao Yaoguang, and this little girl is very lively and delicious.

In contrast, her brother was a little quieter.

……

On the second morning, when the security patrolled, I discovered one thing, that is, there were two huge things in the company's field.

Both machines are comparable in size to a bus.

They didn't know when this thing entered the company, because they didn't hear any abnormal sounds during the overnight shift, and even vehicles rarely passed by here.

But these two behemoths really appeared in Mengyuan headquarters, so they quickly called the security captain.

The security captain called the leader of the company again, the leader of the company called the senior management, and the senior management called Shen Yi again.

A lot of people are passing around these two lithography machines, but no one comes close and touches them.

Because the two lithography machines were immediately fenced, it was forbidden to watch them closely.

Naturally, the company does not lack some very knowledgeable people. They really know what the thick fog in front of them is.

They shouted excitedly to others:
"These are two lithography machines!"

"Really? Why did the lithography opportunity suddenly appear in our company headquarters?"

"Then who knows, but is this thing really a lithography machine? I thought the lithography machine was just a small machine, but I didn't expect it to be such a big thing."

Professional personnel arrived at the scene soon, and they identified the two machines as lithography machines, and they are still the most advanced 10nm lithography machines in the world.

Don't ask them why, because there is an instruction manual next to it, with the name of the machine clearly printed on it.

"10nm lithography machine? Our Mengyuan Group is saved, we can produce 10nm chips! We can temporarily escape the sanctions of the United States!"

Many people who know the situation are very excited.

But many people still wonder where this is coming from.

According to the monitoring survey, this place is a dead spot, and no surveillance camera can capture it at all.

The most evil thing they saw was that Shen Yi came out of this place at 9 o'clock in the evening, and his expression was indifferent, as if he had seen these two machines.

They reported to the police again, but the police could not find any information to prove when the two machines appeared.

So this thing is very bizarre!
The fact that two photolithography machines of unknown origin appeared in the Mengyuan Group Science and Technology Park immediately became a hot search.

These two machines have been closely guarded.

When Shen Yi came to the company at 9 o'clock, everyone expected the boss to make a decision.

"This incident is really bizarre, how could two lithography machines appear in our company's science and technology park out of nowhere?

I have not placed an order with any lithography machine manufacturer. How did these two machines get here?
It is said that the lithography machine needs 30 containers or two passenger planes to be fully loaded, but even the security guards who took turns watching the night did not find any abnormalities. This matter is indeed a bit strange.

However, since this lithography machine appears in our science and technology park, we will keep it for the time being. "

Shen Yi's meaning is very obvious, which is to take the two 10nm lithography machines away for his own use.

Mengyuan Group's current financial resources are very strong, and it has built a dust-free workshop for lithography machines last year.

You must know that the working environment of the lithography machine cannot tolerate any dust, and the dust-free environment is at least [-] times better than the outside world.

Because even a little bit of dust, the entire batch of chips produced may be directly scrapped, which is an extremely heavy price.

Therefore, the dust-free workshop manufactured by Mengyuan Group is very, very clean.

Up to now, no lithography machine has appeared in the dust-free workshop of Mengyuan Group.

Isn't it coming now?
Mengyuan Group urgently transferred dozens of skilled workers to Xiaxin International to move the two lithography machines directly to the clean room.

Suddenly picked up two 10nm lithography machines for nothing, and now Mengyuan Group can be regarded as profitable.

Mengyuan Group has recruited some skilled workers who are very familiar with the work of lithography machines.

I plan to use the lithography machine immediately to make chips for myself.

Mengyuan's new chip MY S2 is also a very powerful chip. In terms of performance, it is basically 40% higher than the previous generation.

And it has a self-developed new generation of GPU.

The parameter performance is still ahead of those competitors, and may even be 6 years ahead of Qualcomm and 3 years ahead of Apple.

But it has always been in theory, because TSMC doesn't give them foundry chips, they can't tape out at all.

So Mengyuan's new chip is just a PPT and drawings, and it has not been manufactured at all.

But now there is a chance.

After all, a photolithography machine can process wafers in a year, minus the availability rate, and the final number of chips it can produce can reach about 6 million.

And now Mengyuan Group has 2 units, which means they can produce 12 billion chips per year.

Once the problem of the lithography machine is solved, other things can also be solved. After all, in the entire chip production process, the problem of the lithography machine is the biggest.

Cutting and processing are trivial matters.

Mengyuan Group can sell its own chips again this year.
