60: Is this Kyushu Chip? The first manufacturer capable of producing 5nm wafers

Zhao Dawei stored the lithography machines in a warehouse in an office building in the eastern part of the Imperial Capital.

Suihuo Technology had grown into a large company with over 3,000 employees; its office space had relocated from Yan University's Entrepreneurship Building to an external office building.

The office building was named 'Oriental New City'.

Oriental New City was one of the top office buildings in the Imperial Capital. Suihuo Technology directly leased the entire building, paying over five million dragon coins in rent each month. Of course, this rent was negligible compared to Suihuo Technology's vast income.

The warehouse storing the lithography machines was next to Oriental New City, reachable by car in just over ten minutes.

"Fourth Brother."

"The lithography machines are inside."

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Zhao Dawei pushed open the large door with his right hand. The outside light dispelled the darkness within, revealing a uniform sight of lithography machines as far as the eye could see.

Most of these 14nm lithography machines were imported, with only a small portion purchased from domestic enterprises. All were extremely expensive.

Each machine cost over 100 million dragon coins... Now, lithography machines capable of producing 5nm wafers were already available.

No one knew why Suihuo Technology would buy these "old antique" 14nm machines. Were they foolishly rich?

Or were they out of their minds?

Facing the incomprehension of most people, Lu Xingye offered no explanation, not even a response.

Should I tell you—

That what you see as an old antique only capable of producing 14nm is a treasure in my eyes?

And it's a treasure that can make a lot of money.

After improvements, the value of these 14nm lithography machines would be completely different, even becoming the most outstanding lithography machines in the world.

Western TSMC could only produce 5nm wafers.

The A-series chips paired with the world's best Fruit Mobile were also only 5nm.

But—

My improved lithography machines can produce 2nm wafers.

Who is superior, who is inferior, will be clear with a comparison... "Well done." Lu Xingye patted Zhao Dawei's shoulder.

"It's what I should do." Zhao Dawei replied with a smile.

Lu Xingye's gaze swept around, focusing on the warehouse's security. Monitors were installed everywhere, and there were people on guard.

It seemed the security was a bit lacking.

For some reason, ever since Lu Xingye was attacked by special operatives last time, he had become exceptionally cautious in his actions.

He always prioritized safety.

"The security here seems a bit weak?"

"General security is average, but in a prosperous place like the Imperial Capital, no one would dare to cause trouble." Zhao Dawei responded.

"Better safe than sorry. Let's double the security here starting tomorrow! We're not short on money."

After Lu Xingye finished speaking, he entered the warehouse to debug each lithography machine and install the second-generation lithography system.

And to replace the ray light source.

As for these alpha ray light sources, Lu Xingye had arranged for them to be custom-made last week. Now, he only needed to debug the appropriate wavelength and frequency to replace the ultraviolet light sources on the lithography machines.

"Jarvis."

"Time to get to work."

"You're responsible for the lithography machine software installation, and I'll handle replacing the lithography machine's light source."

The warehouse in Oriental New City was fully covered by a wireless network, finally giving an artificial intelligence like Jarvis a chance to be useful.

If it weren't for the limitations of network transmission speed, Jarvis could replace the software of all lithography machines in a second. Perhaps even less than a second.

At this moment, Lu Xingye paused, an idea forming in his mind.

If only Jarvis had a body.

A mature artificial intelligence should learn to help its master share the workload.

For example: replacing the alpha ray light source.

Unfortunately, Jarvis didn't have a body yet.

He had no choice but to do it himself... Just as he was about to start replacing the lithography machine's light source, Lu Xingye seemed to remember something. He suddenly stopped his work, took out his mobile phone, swiped the screen, and logged into Suihuo Technology's official website.

He had promised his fans before.

That once there was any progress in his mobile chip research, he would announce it to his fans promptly.

Now that he had successfully improved the lithography machine, it was an important milestone in chip development.

By all accounts, he should report the research progress to his fans... # On the ninth day since Suihuo Technology announced its entry into the semiconductor market, the lithography machine has finally been successfully improved.

Through improvement.

The original 14nm lithography machine can now produce 5nm wafers.

The specific improvement method is confidential.

Soon, Suihuo Technology will cooperate with CEO Xu of Huawei Group. If no accidents occur, the first domestic 5nm chip will be born.

Stay tuned!

... The reason for mentioning 5nm chips instead of 2nm chips was that Lu Xingye wanted to keep a trump card.

Currently, the best chips in the world are 5nm chips. His announcement that he could produce 5nm chips was already astonishing enough.

A true Jiuzhou Core!

Previously, Jiuzhou mobile phone manufacturers purchased Western chips because there were simply no 5nm chips available domestically.

But—

If you want to produce high-end mobile phones, you must be equipped with high-end chips.

This led to mobile phone manufacturers having no choice but to buy Western chips, giving up most of the profits earned from mobile phones.

This was a technological bottleneck.

For example:

Huawei Group—they could design 5nm chips, but without the ability to process and produce them, they remained dependent on others.

But what if Suihuo Technology succeeded in manufacturing 5nm chips?

That would be a definite Jiuzhou Core.

Freeing the entire Jiuzhou mobile phone industry from being constrained by others.

It's no exaggeration to say that once Suihuo Technology can produce 5nm chips, it will leverage the entire Jiuzhou semiconductor industry.

Most importantly... it can make a lot of money.

Hehe!

... Suihuo Technology has now become a star enterprise in Jiuzhou.

In the Nano Battery field, it has become an industry benchmark, with many Nano Battery standards customized by Suihuo Technology.

Suihuo Technology's official website was also followed by many netizens. As soon as Lu Xingye posted the announcement, it was noticed.

# Oh, my god!

"Suihuo Technology's official website has an announcement."

"What?"

"I'll go check."

"Suihuo Technology improved the lithography machine and can now produce 5nm chips with a 14nm lithography machine?"

"Is that true or false?"

Unbelievable!

If what Suihuo Technology said was true, that would be a definite Jiuzhou Core! Breaking the Western technological bottleneck.

Just this one invention alone could put Suihuo Technology in the history books.

News media swarmed like sharks smelling blood, re-posting this announcement and making it a headline.

Currently, hot searches are mostly dominated by celebrity entertainment gossip, and there is rarely such shocking news. Without further ado, let's forward the announcement of an excellent company like Suihuo Technology first to grab traffic.

# Suihuo Technology improves lithography machine, can produce 5nm chips, a definite Jiuzhou Core.

# Jiuzhou's first 5nm domestic mobile phone chip.

# Suihuo Technology = Jiuzhou Core?

# On the Past and Present of Jiuzhou Core!
