The laboratory fell into a silent state almost instantly. Facing Zhou Shuo's bold words, everyone was looking at him with a look of "this guy is crazy".

The process process of integrated circuit chips basically follows a rule. That is, each new process generation is multiplied by the previous generation process by 0.714. But this does not mean that as long as the time comes, the factors that improve the process will naturally be obtained. In fact, every progress in the process process is extremely difficult.

Chip process technology not only constantly challenges the limits of human precision manufacturing, but also constantly challenges the limits of human imagination. For this extreme microscopic and precision manufacturing technology, any new technology will soon be applied to the entire system. Every possibility that can improve the process technology is almost abnormally raised to the highest level. This means that it is difficult for humans to endlessly increase the line width limit of the lithography process through repetitive labor.

If you want to go further from the previous foundation, you must find a new breakthrough field. This is a very difficult road, far from being able to stand up and shout slogans, and then immediately catch up with the UK and the United States. Zhou Shuo now stands out and says that he will push the 0.8 micron process lithography machine process that the Chinese Academy of Sciences has just developed in the first half of 1995 to the 0.5 micron level in one month. This is not only ignoring the hard work of countless big guys in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also ignoring the supreme scientific laws.

Not to mention just these dozen people, even all the top scientists in China and the endless investment of the country, it is impossible to improve the entire technology in such a short period of time in 1995. According to the rules of Moore's Law, the number of transistors on integrated circuit chips doubles every 18 months. The performance will also double. Even if China's chip manufacturing technology only maintains a generation difference of one or two generations from the international level, the final performance difference will be a very different distance.

"Why? Don't you believe it? You must think I'm crazy, right?" Zhou Shuo laughed and said, "Okay, we can talk about any problems on the surface."

"Zhou...President Zhou. I understand your urgency to improve the technology of our semiconductor industry." Tu Anbei said: "But the first thing we do when we do technology and scientific is to respect the laws of science. The big leap forward is not suitable for the semiconductor field."

"Yes, it took our country five years from 2 microns to 1.2 microns. From 1.2 microns to 0.8 microns, it took another five years. This was done with the support of the country, and the semiconductor technology did not require high precision manufacturing levels and invested countless manpower and material resources." A middle-aged man in his forties stood beside Tu Anbei and said, "So how much investment are you going to make to complete the process improvement of 0.8 microns to 0.5 microns?"

"If this is your research plan by Dean Zhou, please allow me to withdraw." A young man who looks young also stood up. He held his glasses and shook his head, "Please rest assured that I will not reveal what happened here. But as a scientific researcher, I cannot work under a person who ignores the laws of science."

Zhou Shuo looked around for a week and saw that there were fifteen people present including Tu Anbei, but none of them agreed with his goal. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "So how do you think China's semiconductor industry can catch up with the advanced level of the world? According to the scientific laws in your mouth, I'm afraid that when we catch up, they have already gone far away. Not only have they gone far away, but they even have to use patent technology to build a wall."

"This is a matter of no choice. After all, foreign countries are more advanced than us. Although we are not convinced, the overall level of our country is like this. What can we do?"

"Of course there is a solution." Zhou Shuo looked up proudly and said, "Have you heard of the MiG 25 fighter?"

"The MiG25 of the former Soviet Union?" Men will have some weapons plots. Some people are obviously military fans and nodded immediately and said: "The high-altitude high-speed interceptor produced by the Migaoyang Design Bureau in the 1970s can fly to Mach 3. Its excellent performance makes it even more equipment in service now."

It is rare for someone to take such a tactful response. Zhou Shuo asked quickly: "Then you must know the biggest difference between the MiG25 and the previous aircraft, and the fear of it in the Western world."

"The biggest difference between MiG 25? That must be its all-stainless steel fuselage. The aircraft reaches a flight speed of Mach 3. The friction with the air will cause a high temperature of 300 degrees. In order to adapt to this high temperature, the aluminum alloy shell of the aircraft in the past was replaced with a all-stainless steel structure." The man was obviously scratched by Zhou Shuo and talked endlessly when talking about this topic.

"There is also its airborne electronic system. Due to the backwardness of Soviet electronic technology, the radar power is too high. As long as it is turned on, the electronic system around it will be scrapped. But the Americans did not know that this was caused by insufficient technology, but instead thought it was some secret weapon of the Soviet Union. Its most brilliant record was the Fourth Middle East War. After the Israeli Air Force launched the Rattlesnake missile, the MiG25 in Egypt actually threw away the rear-end locked missile at its terrifying speed."

Zhou Shuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, if you want to say that MiG 25 uses all-steel structure, does this violate some rules in aircraft design? But with its advanced engine technology, the Soviet Union forced a bunch of steel to fly faster than aluminum alloys. In this regard, can our lithography machine technology be used to learn from it? We will never be able to surpass them when we always follow the technical routes of Europe and the United States."

Tu Anbei was also thinking about it at this time. He remembered Zhou Shuo's achievements all the time. Especially the preparation method of graphene and many of his innovations in network technology, he could actually see traces of such fantasy ideas. Moreover, his achievements in scientific research cannot be made by a person who ignores scientific laws. Since he is so serious today and is confident that he can break through the difficulties of 0.5 micron technology, maybe it is really possible?

Thinking of this, a fire broke out in Tu Anbei's heart. If it really takes one month to promote the process technology to a generation...

This speed is a miracle that can stand out in China, not to mention the international community.

He rubbed his hands and said, "Principal Zhou, let's talk about it. What technical route do you want to take to improve the domestic 0.8 micron technology to 0.5 micron?"

Zhou Shuo stretched out a finger and said in front of him: "Buy, buy foreign 0.5 micron process production equipment."

Tu Anbei was stunned for a moment. What is the answer? If you can buy it, will China still have to work hard to develop it yourself? Anyone who involves such high-tech equipment will inevitably be embargoed by developed countries such as Europe and the United States. If you can buy it with money, the country may buy it back even if it is used as pants!

Seeing Tu Anbei's doubts, Zhou Shuo explained: "Old Tu, you should know that there is a cuckoo plan in the research institute."

Tu Anbei nodded and said inexplicably: "Of course I know, isn't that the recruitment plan you formulated to poach major scientific research institutes?"

Zhou Shuo shook his head and smiled, "That's just the preliminary preparations for the cuckoo plan. Mr. Tu knows that cuckoo birds are the most cunning animals in nature."

"Landing your own eggs in other people's nests will make people work hard to raise the little cuckoo, but the newly born cuckoo will strangle the other children of the adoptive parents to death." Zhou Shuo actually showed a leisurely and fascinated expression and looked at Tu Anbei and said: "The reason why cuckoos can make other birds willing to raise them as takeovers is that their eggs must have a disguise that is difficult to distinguish between true and false. The purpose of this cuckoo plan is to create a disguise that we have completed the 0.5 micron process."

"Cassence? How to disguise?" Tu Anbei asked in confusion.

"Well, I really made a batch of 0.5 micron process chips." Zhou Shuo said firmly.

After hearing this, Tu Anbei was completely confused. What is this plan? Why do you still need to import 0.5 micron process equipment from abroad to build 0.5 micron process equipment? Where can I not use my own equipment, but instead I deliberately buy foreign competitor equipment?

On the contrary, if you don’t have a 0.5 micron process, you will definitely not sell you 0.5 micron equipment internationally. Even if you sell it to you, it depends on your about to break through this process and let water drown the seedlings in your own fields. If you have no signs of solving the 0.5 micron process technology, others will not come up and sell you this equipment. Compared with tens of millions of production equipment, it is much easier to make money by selling chips directly.

Tu Anbei complained silently in his heart that this is simply a question of whether there is a chicken or an egg first! If I take off my pants, please show me this?

Of course, Mr. Tu in 1995 was not that fashionable. He didn't understand what a seller was, nor did he understand the memes I read when taking off my pants. But the central idea here will not change.

Zhou Shuo looked at Tu Anbei and a group of people around him who were almost fooled by him, and couldn't help laughing. He laughed for a while, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I won't keep it. To put it bluntly, I have a technology in my hand that can increase the 0.8 micron process to the 0.5 micron level in a short time. However, with the current chip manufacturing process level in China, there is no possibility of large-scale promotion. So we have to create the illusion that the Panhan Research Institute has broken through the 0.5 micron technology difficulty, and then wait for the Japanese to sell the equipment to us in a hurry."

Tu Anbei couldn't help but suddenly realize, "So that's it! I'll just say, Principal Zhou, you are not a targetless person. The last question is, how can you increase the process to 0.5 microns in such a short time?"

Zhou Shuo held his hands behind his back and smiled proudly: "The truth is actually very simple, that is, use water."
