Just as a group of scientific researchers were busy around the nanoscale white lithography machine, importing the lithography program into the CNC panel.
Chen Jue on the side was carefully browsing the chip design drawings sent by Lin Weiguo.
These cutting-edge chips that integrate CPU and GPU are all the hard work of the Institute of Optoelectronics. Just pick one and take it out for tape-out, which is enough to support any technology company on the market into a unicorn in the industry.
It’s just that the hardware equipment is not ideal. The design drawings of these chips have been lying in the database of the Institute of Optoelectronics, and there is no way to mass-produce them.
It wasn’t until they met Chen Jue, a being who was close to the Creator, that it became possible for them to come true.
However, after seeing the information data storage capabilities of the bird and insect seals recorded in the jade seal passed down from the country, these transistor circuit designs, which can easily reach tens of billions, seemed a bit bloated in Chen Jue’s eyes.
“It’s a pity that I still don’t understand the operating principle of these bird and insect seals, otherwise it would break the semiconductor design standards established by the West.” Chen muttered in determination.
After Lin Weiguo and others worked for a while, they started to activate the entire white lithography machine according to Chen Jue’s instructions.
As a well-prepared wafer was inserted into it, the entire underground fortification lit up with yellow lights, and the lithography system inside the machine began to operate, and everyone’s hearts lifted.
“Officially started photolithography tapeout!”
“The program self-test is normal!”
“20%…40%…”
Along with several beeps of reminders, a series of countdowns showing progress appeared on the CNC panel.
It’s just that this number jumps too fast, jumping by 20% almost every second.
In just a blink of an eye, the first wafer covered with chip matrix was spit out from the output port on the side of the machine with heat.
Such a terrifying photolithography speed made everyone next to the machine feel numb.
“How come it’s so fast?”
“Even if the top EUA lithography machine processes a wafer, it will take at least 12 seconds!”
“We have increased the accuracy by 50 times, which is equivalent to concentrating the computing power of 50 chips into one. The number of transistors on a single wafer has increased by more than 10,000 times. Logically speaking, it will take at least ten minutes.” A researcher from the Institute of Optoelectronics commented with a shocked look on his face.
“I know! Look at this demonstration animation. This machine uses multiple light sources working together at the same time, which means there is more than one photolithography lens doing the exposure!”
“This efficiency is so terrifying! One machine can almost catch up with hundreds of EUA lithography machines produced by ASML!” A young scientific researcher exclaimed, pointing to a simulation animation on the CNC panel.
“What? Multiple light sources working at the same time?”
“Aren’t you worried about band interference?”
“So, the efficiency of this machine is as high as that of several Bay Semiconductor Power Plants?”
Seeing the wafers spit out from the mouth of the machine, everyone in Lin Weiguo’s group was so excited that they couldn’t help themselves.
You know, Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ranks first in the world in terms of its chip production capabilities.
The entire factory has 80 latest EUA lithography machines, capable of producing 14 million 12-inch wafers every month.
If chips are cut according to Kirin 9000 specifications, it would be equivalent to a monthly production of 600 million chips of this type.
In order to support such a huge production capacity, Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. consumes more than 20 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity every year. It has recruited as many as 50,000 employees.
But once the nanoscale lithography machine in front of us is put into production, it is equivalent to tying up several Bay Semiconductors and having to hang them up and beat them!
When a piece of the chip burned on it was cut out for a computing power test, the computing power that exceeded all high-end chips on the market directly made the entire underground fortifications cheer.
Even Zou Ying hugged Chen Jue’s arm excitedly and kept shaking it.
“Finally…finally broke through the Western blockade!”
“I will never get stuck with a chip again!”
“All our supercomputers should be replaced with new chips!”
“This is a real flower core!”
You know, flower growers spend hundreds of billions of dollars importing high-end chips from abroad every year, which is enough to compare with the annual GDP of a backward province.
Once the high-end chips are priced at a bargain price, it can save the entire flower grower a huge financial expenditure!
Of course, the role of nanoscale lithography machines is more than just that.
Once these high-end chips are put into the commercial market, the performance of personal PCs will be greatly improved, to scientific research units such as bases, to supercomputers, aerospace equipment, fighter jets, missiles, and countless other computer-related fields will be affected. , it can be said that one move affects the whole body.
This is why Chen Jue stayed at the base temporarily and focused on manufacturing this nanoscale lithography machine.
…
The testing of the nanoscale lithography machine is still proceeding in an orderly manner. After a brief carnival, the group of researchers from the Institute of Optoelectronics brought by Lin Weiguo have devoted themselves to the next step of work.
The production of chips is not only the core step of tape-out by photolithography machine, but also includes cutting, packaging, extreme environment testing of chips, etc.
As for Chen Jue, after giving detailed instructions on how to use the nanolithography machine, Zhong Deyuan, who hurried over, was taken to another information room full of digital displays.
On the large screen covering the wall, a complex encrypted signal sent from the other side of the ocean was being analyzed.
In addition, the real-time dynamics of the feedback point outside the solar system can also be vaguely seen in the background.
“Mr. Zhong, are you saying that this unknown signal source is moving in the direction of the earth?” Chen Jue scanned the complicated information displays with a surprised look on his face.
“Yes! Just after we received the transmission of the five-pillar device, the unknown signal source had already advanced 800 million kilometers towards the solar system. If the other party had not been continuously transmitting signals towards the earth, we would not have been able to measure this real-time distance. .” Zhong Deyuan said with some solemnity.
“We have traveled more than 800 million kilometers in less than 2 hours. This should be close to one-third of the speed of light, right?”
“With a spacecraft that can exceed 100 million per hour, it seems that these aliens are not weak in technology!” Chen Jue shrugged half-jokingly.
“Although it has not yet reached sublight speed, according to current trends, this unknown signal source will only need another week to reach the earth.”
“If you can move forward at one-third of the speed of light, I’m afraid the entire earth’s technology will be in front of the opponent…” Zhong Deyuan hesitated and sighed.
The deep sense of powerlessness in the face of alien civilization is self-evident.
After all, mankind has only recently sent people to land on the moon.
Compared to an alien civilization that can travel across galaxies, just thinking about the technological gap here is enough to make people feel desperate.
“One-third the speed of light?”
“If there was no air friction in outer space, with my current level of practice, I should be able to reach it, and maybe even surpass it.” Chen Jue touched his chin and thought about it.
At this moment, the screen on the wall that was analyzing encrypted signals suddenly popped up with results, and then a signal simulation diagram labeled Eagle Country Area 15 was automatically generated from the screen.
“Head, we have figured out the source of the external signal! It is several high-power radio telescopes in Area 15!”
“The encrypted signal they repeated contains the genetic code of us humans, as well as the spatial coordinate position of the earth!” A staff member who was immersed in controlling the computer took the microphone in front of him and reported.
When Zhong Lao heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened and he almost lost his temper!
According to the laws of the dark forest, what an immature civilization like Earth fears most is being captured in space coordinates.
By doing this, the Eagle Countryman was equivalent to serving as a guide for that alien civilization, and by the way, he also gave away the core composition information of human beings for free.
As long as that alien civilization is more powerful and develops some biological weapons targeting human genes, it is estimated that the human species can be wiped out and enslaved in minutes.
Even Chen Jue couldn’t help but shook his head after hearing the news: “So, Yingguo wanted to rape him… No, it must have been raped by someone else?”
