Chapter 164: The lithography machine is within reach? Mr. Dog, are you interested in the unmanned bomber?

While Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing were busy preparing for the evening's 'diplomatic dinner'.

the same day.

On the Eagle side, the small town of Livermore earlier.

Just got to work early in the morning.

Lu Ze still stayed in the familiar corner with Lucy, sitting on the sofa that had been designated as their "exclusive territory".

Looking at the little head next to him, he is holding his iPhone and playing the recently released and very popular "Angry Birds".

Looking at Lucy having a lot of fun playing, she looks like an "internet addict girl" who is addicted to the game.

Lu Ze curled his lips and thought to himself: "That's it?"

If she were to play various mobile games from later generations, wouldn't she be sent directly to Professor Yang for a "shock"?
However, we need to wait until Daxia develops a new generation of smartphones that are no different from the iPhone 6 in performance before these mobile games will have room to play.

Without hardware support, any mobile game blockbuster is simply a castle in the air.

But at this time, Lu Ze was also thinking about a new question: "The number of times will be refreshed soon. What should I copy this time?"

"And it is a technology with extremely high value, so the 'technical rewards' provided will be greater."

The next plan he was going to carry out would require a huge amount of money to support it, even more than all the previous amounts combined.

Even though he knew that even a technology like the Patriot Air Defense Weapon would cost hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars, Daxia would still agree without hesitation.

But this is not in line with Lu Ze's usual code of conduct. Since it is based on the principle of "fairness", then it must be "value for money".

So faced with such a huge funding demand, he naturally needed to find a technology with "extremely high value".

After some thought.

The first technology that popped into his mind was none other than the photolithography machine.

"The technology behind this thing must be valuable." Lu Ze touched his chin and fell into deep thought: "It's really difficult to copy this kind of technological item!"

Photolithography technology has always been at the forefront of the technologies he most wants to replicate, and even EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography ranks first.

It is three points higher than the 'Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier', 'Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier', etc.

After all, the importance of the chip industry does not require him to explain too much, and the higher the end of the industry, the more important it is.

As long as it involves modern high-tech industries, none of them can leave the chip technology. This is why Daxia gritted its teeth and persevered when it invested hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars into the semiconductor industry and saw no returns.

“But where can I copy this thing?” Lu Ze sighed inwardly.

Now he has the two magic weapons of the camouflage world, the 'Invisibility Cloak' and the 'Transformation Mask'. When used together, he is not afraid of being discovered, so basically it will not be a big problem for him to copy anything he wants.

Just leave the area quickly within the half-hour duration of the 'Invisibility Cloak'.

But the problem is.

"I also need to know where the lithography machines are stored?"

He couldn't even find the area in the laboratory where the lithography machines were stored, so how could he copy them?
Just when Lu Ze was thinking of giving up this plan and looking for another "high-value technological item".

Suddenly, the conversation between two white employees sitting next to him attracted his attention.

Although the two people's conversation was not loud, it could still be heard clearly in the quiet main building of the laboratory.

A middle-aged white man with blond hair took a sip of coffee and said, "Qiang En, it looks like that lithography machine is going to be shipped to the lab. Where should we put it?"

"When will it arrive?" The white man with tanned skin next to him frowned. "Besides, why would ASML bring this stuff here? We at LLNL don't collect junk!"

"It seems that there is a technical problem with a certain component, and they can't solve it over there." The man thought for a moment and guessed.

LLNL laboratory holds a very important position in the field of lithography machines. For example, ASML's most advanced "EUV lithography machine" that is ready for mass production, one of the most important parts, the mask and engraving process, is the work of LLNL laboratory.

That's why there are EUV lithography machines here, and ASML will also seek a lot of technical help from them.

When Lu Ze heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

'These two people should be the heads of a department in the laboratory.'

This was his initial conclusion, and it also involved the lithography machine that he was most interested in at the moment.

Faint English continued to be heard from the other side. Although it was a bit blurry, Lu Ze still guessed the general meaning.

"It will arrive at our lab next Wednesday. It's a 32nm lithography machine."

The old white man with blond hair frowned and said, "Next Wednesday? There are no vacancies in the A and B level areas. You should place it in the C level area first."

"When we vacate a high-grade clean room, we'll put it in there."

"Understood, I'll notify them later." The man next to him nodded.

There is nothing wrong with this processing method. After all, the lithography machine is an ultra-high precision instrument with nano-level manufacturing process, and it requires a storage environment of extremely high standards.

Of course, it is impossible to just find a place to put it down. Even the container that carries it needs to be specially customized.

The entire laboratory has such a space, which is basically in the A and B level areas, which have long been occupied by various high-tech items, and there is no room for this 32nm lithography machine for a while. After watching the two people finish their coffee and dessert, they quickly left the main laboratory building.

In an instant.

Lu Ze was overjoyed: "It's a 32NM lithography machine?"

He originally thought that the so-called "junk" lithography machine would be an outdated product with 90nm process.

Daxia has already achieved a breakthrough in this process, so even if it is copied, it will not be of much significance.

"32NM process, it should still be an immersion lithography machine." Lu Ze touched his chin.

The mainstream lithography machine in the future will definitely be EUV lithography machine, not immersion lithography machine with a process limit of 22NM, let alone this 32NM lithography machine.

However, it is now 09, and this is second only to the current best 28nm product, and the latter has not even started mass production and delivery.

The most advanced product currently available is AMSL's 32nm lithography machine.

Today, Daxia has no 32NM process lithography machine, and even Xiaxin International only has one 45NM process lithography machine. The process technology of domestic lithography machines can only reach 90NM.

Although the difference seems to be less than three times, in fact, the difference in technology is more than just three times in numbers. It is probably thirty times, or even a hundred times.

"Next Wednesday? Then I can wait for the copying!" Lu Ze clenched his fists and muttered.

He finally got this chance, right?

Isn’t this money coming?

This is a 32NM process lithography technology. It's not too much to ask Daxia for tens of billions of dollars, right?

"With this money, I can help the poor people in my hometown and across the country," he thought to himself.

This grand plan requires a huge amount of money, and Lu Ze must make detailed plans.

At the same time, here in Daxia.

Located in the Yanjing State Guesthouse, this is the place where the most important guests of Daxia are received.

Outside.

Two black vehicles with embassy license plates drove up quickly and stopped steadily at the gate.

The ambassador, wearing a white turban on his head and with obvious Middle Eastern features, slowly got out of the car.

The two ambassadors looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other's faces: "Why does Xia Keyuan want to see us again?"

This is what they wanted to say at the same time.

In particular, Saudi Arabia's ambassador Abdul's face was full of caution and doubt when he walked into the state guesthouse.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart: "What are you trying to do to us this time?"

After all, every time he met Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing, it seemed that it was not a simple matter.

Although things all ended well, the process was bumpy.

First they cooperated to develop some "small drones", but then they heard the news that Palestine used small drones to attack Israel.

Even the most successful "medium-range ballistic missile technology" was held hostage by the Eagle Sauce for a long time.

So it's no wonder that he was so cautious, he was completely afraid of hearing some "explosive" news again this time.

Walk into the banquet hall.

As the Persian ambassador Ahmed Hassan took his seat, the two old men Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing warmly received them.

Various exquisite dishes were placed on the table, including not only the top delicacies from Daxia, but also "authentic" food from Saudi Arabia and Persia.

Even the ingredients were airlifted directly from their country, which reflects how much importance Daxia attaches to this dinner.

only.

The two ambassadors were not in the mood to eat a bite. Abdul was even a little panicked: "President Zhang, Mr. Zheng, if you have anything to say, let's just say it!"

Ahmed on the side was also a little restless, he even belittled himself: This is really too polite, can't it be the 'Hongmen Banquet'?

Looking at the two people like this, Zhang Yuli shook his head helplessly: "Old Zheng, just speak frankly."

As usual, he always played the good guy and Zheng Lixing played the bad guy.

Zheng Lixing immediately understood his thoughts: "Ambassadors, the matter I want to discuss with you this time is very simple."

He narrowed his eyes and continued, "Do you want our newly developed long-range unmanned bomber?"

These words are like a weird uncle holding a lollipop, tempting a child.

Instantly, it caused a huge reaction.

"Long-range unmanned bomber?" Abdul slammed the table and stood up, his eyes shining!
We want this thing so badly!!
