234 Producing a Lithography Machine 2
He placed a piece of specially made high luminosity glass on the workbench. If one didn’t have good eyesight, they wouldn’t be able to notice the existence of this piece of glass.
Li Chengqian caressed the surface of this piece of glass. His touch was even gentler and more careful than when he was caressing a lover.
Among the professions that Li Chengqian took on, there was a Worker profession.
The Precise Sizing skill of the Worker profession was simply a divine weapon when it came to creating high-precision components. It was simply invincible.
[Precise Sizing (Master): You are abnormally sensitive to size, you can detect sizes up to a 1 nanometer margin of error, just by relying on your palms and eyes].
!!
The lens is one of the most sophisticated components of a lithography machine, requiring extremely high transparency and surface leveling.
How high a level was required?
When a lens, one meter in diameter, used by a photolithography machine was enlarged to the size of the entire Divine Dragon Country, the difference in the surface of the glass could not exceed 20 centimeters.
This was a very demanding figure.
The Divine Dragon Country didn’t have the relevant foundation and technology!
This was also one of the reasons why the Divine Dragon Country could only produce 90 nm for the time being and couldn’t produce more advanced DUV lithography machines!
For any country, this kind of high level processing was a huge challenge.
However, to Li Chengqian, this problem had never been a problem from the beginning.
The Precise Sizing skill could allow Li Chengqian to achieve an even more incredible level of processing accuracy.
To Li Chengqian, the second issue that had always restricted his lens processing was the glass material.
He couldn’t find glass that met the criteria.
However, this problem had been resolved with Zhang Tianling’s arrival. Zhang Tianling had not only brought the blueprints for the DUV lithography machine, but also the technology related to the glass of the DUV lithography machine.
After obtaining the technology from Zhang Tianling, Li Chengqian bought a glass factory to specialize in producing this kind of translucent glass.
After the translucent glass was produced, it was first polished using the most sophisticated processing method in the Divine Dragon Country before it was finally sent to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian carried out the final polishing of the special glass.
Li Chengqian held a special grinding tool in his hand. He gently slid it twice on the glass before reaching out to test the level of the glass again.
“Almost there!” A smile appeared on Li Chengqian’s face. He picked up the huge glass lens and placed it in a special equipment to clean it.
The glass was cleaned with super pure water without any impurities. After a full 20 minutes, the cleaning of the glass lens was finally completed.
“I’ve finally made this big guy!” Li Chengqian felt a huge sense of accomplishment when he saw the assembled lithography machine conducting a self-check after the power was connected.
Li Chengqian spent almost a month working nonstop without sleep or rest!
There were also thousands of people helping in the purchasing and transport of related materials.
There was also the support of software and other forces.
Under such circumstances, he had spent a total of 300 million Divine Dragon yuan.
He had finally created this huge machine!
In this lithography machine, there was a control system specially developed by Bai Ze.
“The self-check of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine has been completed. The system is operating normally.” An audio notification came from the lithography machine.
“Bai Ze, carry out the experimental production of the lithography machine in accordance with the plan!” Li Chengqian had been preparing for this day since the production of the lithography machine began.
The full set of equipment needed to produce the chip, the etching machine, the infusion machine, the slide machine, and a series of other equipment had all been installed and debugged.
Even if they couldn’t buy the equipment, with the support of the relevant units, the Divine Dragon Company could use it at will.
The light-carved substrate was borrowed from the National Chip Company for temporary use.
They were going to produce 14-nanometer Red Qilin chips.
“Master, alright!” Bai Ze’s cold voice sounded.
In front of Li Chengqian, all the machines in the dustless factory that were used to install the lithography machines and related equipment were activated.
Small rumbling sounds continuously sounded from the various machines.
“Master, this experimental production of silicon chips is 10 pieces! A total of 1,680 chips will be produced.”
“The estimated time to complete the entire production process is three hours…”
After Li Chengqian heard Bai Ze’s words, he stretched his neck and back. He felt very tired after working for a long time.
He sank into the sofa tiredly and found an extremely comfortable position to lie down.
Ever since he started manufacturing the lithography machine, Li Chengqian had been eating and living in the factory. He had not gone out even once.
Now that he had done everything he could, all he had to do was wait for the results of the experimental production.’
“Although it’s only a DUV lithography machine, it’s enough for Divine Dragon.”
“As long as this experimental lithography machine succeeds!”
“There’s no need to ask anyone for help in the production of chips!” In fact, Divine Dragon had an excellent chip design company. Huawei and Unisoc were top chip design companies in the world.
The biggest shortcoming of Divine Dragon had always been the production of chips.
Although they had made many breakthroughs in recent years and the National Chip Company could produce 14-nanometer chips, they were still greatly restricted because the equipment and technology were from overseas.
They still couldn’t produce advanced chips for the relevant companies.
“Sunset Empire has arranged for all the factories in the world to produce ROM storage devices and to use solidification systems and software… Their goal is definitely not as simple as replacing the Divine System.” Li Chengqian knew very well that Sunset would definitely make a big move.
There would definitely be retaliation. This was their usual way of doing things. There was definitely no mistake.
After Li Chengqian thought about it, the greatest possibility of Sunset’s revenge was from the hardware.
If Sunset had really made up its mind, it would completely cut off Divine Dragon hardware’s supply.
Although it was not fatal, it would still have a huge impact on Divine Dragon.
“Now, the Divine Dragon Software Company has already mastered the full production technology of the DUV lithography machine… If Sunset really uses this method to take revenge, they will be disappointed.”
At this moment, Bai Ze’s cold voice sounded from Li Chengqian’s watch.
“Master, Northern Han’s branch domain name resolution server has been completely shut down!”
“What?” When Li Chengqian heard this, he was momentarily stunned. He thought that he had heard wrongly.
“The Northern Han’s branch domain name resolution server has been shut down and is no longer requesting resolution from the Iceman Project’s root domain name server.”
“Other than the branch domain name resolution servers, the 18 provincial domain name servers and IP resolution servers in Northern Han and 341 sub-provincial domain name servers and IP resolution servers have all been shut down!” Bai Ze’s cold voice continued.
Li Chengqian’s forehead was all creased from frowning deeply.
If it was only a single server that was shut down, it was very likely to be due to hardware malfunctions or other emergencies. However, if all the servers were shut down, it was definitely not a sudden occurrence.
It was definitely done on purpose!
“What is Northern Han up to?” Li Chengqian’s brows tightly knitted together, feeling that he couldn’t understand.
The Iceman Project domain name resolution server is now used all over the world, even at Sunset.
Under these circumstances, Northern Han actually abandoned the Iceman Project domain name resolution server.
“Are they planning to cut all communication with other countries?” Because the other countries used the services provided by the Iceman Project domain name resolution server, and Northern Han wasn’t using it now, Northern Han wouldn’t be able to access any websites of the other countries.
Nor can the other countries access Northern Han’s websites.
“Master, Northern Han has activated a new branch domain name resolution server. The server is Windows-based!”
“The new branch domain name resolution server is connected to Sunset’s root domain name server.”
“The Windows system is also running the root domain name server of Sunset.”
“The Doomsday Extortion Virus attack… Detected that the system file is fixed and cannot be modified. The virus program has been detected and eliminated… This attack has failed!”
“Master, after testing, it was found that the Doomsday Extortion Virus can’t destroy the Windows-based domain name resolution server system!”
“As the system has been written into the ROM. The other party’s system is immune to all computer viruses at this stage.”
“The progress made by Project Great Flood Project… is being undone!”
Li Chengqian listened carefully to Bai Ze’s report. Countless thoughts flashed in his mind.
“Is Sunset’s intention really just to regain the market for operating systems?”
