42: Section 42

However, he still knew what was urgent at the moment.

Because when they were organizing the data, they were also worried about Lin Bai discovering it, so they deliberately wrote the content in English.

And after the change, the content was naturally still in English.

Therefore, Academician Wang still needed to carefully distinguish it to know if the content had changed and if it was still improving for the better as always.

Chief Yun had the technicians zoom in on the white paper on the ground to the maximum, to facilitate Academician Wang's identification of the content.

Only Academician Wang was most qualified to speak on this matter.

Although the others were extremely anxious, they dared not make a sound to disturb him.

After everyone held their breath for several minutes,

Academician Wang, staring at the screen, finally trembled and exclaimed excitedly:

"It changed, haha, the data changed!"

"Lin Bai's ability is still effective!"

...Chapter 53: Return and Submit the Data! 0.35 Nanometer Level!!

Chapter 53: Return and Submit the Data! 0.35 Nanometer Level!!

It improved!

As soon as these words came out, everyone present finally let out a huge sigh of relief.

After Academician Wang completely relaxed, his legs went weak and he almost couldn't stand. Fortunately, Chief Yun, who was beside him, quickly helped him up before he fell to the ground.

"Chief, through the monitor, I can only see part of the content and know that there has indeed been an improvement."

"But to see its full scope, please retrieve the data as soon as possible!"

Academician Wang was extremely excited, and with a solemn expression, he looked at the others and said.

The others also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, breaking through our country's photolithography machine technology project is urgent!"

"Currently, the finest chips our country can produce barely reach the fourteen-nanometer level, but this still relies on photolithography machines imported from the Netherlands."

"The photolithography machines we ourselves possess are still at the ninety-nanometer level, a difference of three generations of technology compared to theirs!"

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also deeply agreed. He was responsible for communicating with foreign countries and was even more aware that Western Countries had been continuously uniting in recent years to implement comprehensive technological blockades against them.

Even that fourteen-nanometer photolithography machine was purchased a year ago.

And now, the Netherlands, pressured by Lighthouse Country, no longer allows the sale of any photolithography machines to China.

This has led to ninety percent of enterprises in all high-end technology industries across China needing to import chips from abroad, constantly being constrained by others.

"Lighthouse Country's clandestine activities have become increasingly frequent during this period!"

"It's probably because our previous asthma medication and rare earth deep processing technology stimulated them!"

"Now they view China even more as a thorn in their side and intend to further suppress us!"

Chief Yun also knew the priorities and immediately had Li Yaoyao prepare to retrieve the technical data... On the other side, Lin Bai had already assembled the brand new computer according to the tutorial video.

What surprised him most was this.

This computer could actually achieve the so-called one-second boot-up!

Pressing the host button, the screen instantly completed the login to the desktop interface, with no buffering time whatsoever.

"As expected of a host that cost me nearly 100,000 to buy back, this performance is too powerful!"

Lin Bai was not a computer professional; his understanding of computers was limited to focusing on boot-up time, memory size, and whether large games lagged.

And this computer could completely satisfy all his needs!

"The smoothness of playing on this is hundreds of times better than what was described on the product introduction page."

"Is this merchant too honest?"

"With such high performance, why aren't they exaggerating it to death?"

This screen, too, its high-definition level almost reached the limit of Lin Bai's cognition, so much so that his eyes wouldn't feel tired even if he watched movies on it all day.

Bang, bang, bang.

Lin Bai, who was playing Red Dead Redemption, suddenly heard knocking again.

This made him feel a bit strange.

"How come when I lived in a rental house, only the landlord knocked on my door all month, but now that I live in a luxurious villa on the mountaintop, people come knocking every day..."

Could it be that Boss Yang, whom he had just parted with yesterday, missed him again and came to find him on her own initiative?

Snap.

He pushed open the door.

Standing at the door was none other than his former neighbor, Li Yaoyao, now the property manager responsible for his villa.

"Lin Bai~"

"Uh, well, the auntie in my dorm, she..."

Li Yaoyao had received an urgent task from above to retrieve the data.

So, she had no choice. Li Yaoyao waited for most of the day and didn't receive a call from Lin Bai to come collect the cardboard boxes, so she could only bite the bullet and come over to ask for them herself.

However, as soon as Lin Bai saw Li Yaoyao, he basically understood immediately.

Before the other party could finish speaking, Lin Bai showed an expression that said 'I understand,' then pointed to the cardboard boxes placed by the door and smiled, "I was actually thinking of saving them up and giving them to you all at once after I bought a few more things."

Hearing this, Li Yaoyao gave an awkward smile, "Well, mainly the dorm auntie said that the price of cardboard has gone up recently~"

Of course, to Lin Bai, this sounded like Li Yaoyao was inventing an auntie out of thin air; she must have found out about the cardboard price increase herself and wanted to sell it, but was too embarrassed to admit it.

This further solidified Lin Bai's impression of Li Yaoyao as being impoverished.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai asked, "I still have some steaks in the fridge, why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"

Hearing this, Li Yaoyao recalled the exceptionally delicious steak and mellow red wine that had been enhanced, and couldn't help but gulp.

The word "good" almost slipped out, but remembering her mission, she quickly refused.

"No, no, the auntie is still waiting for me back at the dorm. Next time for sure!"

To avoid being tempted by the food, she didn't chat much with Lin Bai. She hugged the three large cardboard boxes, which contained the most important data files, and quickly turned and left.

Watching Li Yaoyao leave in a hurry, Lin Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult. She gave up a steak dinner for cardboard that would sell for more today due to the price increase."

However, everyone has their own choices, and Lin Bai's choice was to turn around decisively and continue grinding in his game.

Finally, Li Yaoyao, carrying the extremely precious data with trepidation all the way, returned to the headquarters building and personally handed it to Chief Yun.

"Well done, keep it up!"

Li Yaoyao, who had been diligently working on this matter recently, also received Chief Yun's approval.

At the same time, Academician Wang eagerly took the data immediately.

The other academicians and all the leaders in the conference room couldn't help but look in that direction.

"What's the result?"

"Our photolithography machine technology is several generations behind Western Countries, and this photolithography machine was initially just a draft. I wonder if it can catch up to their level?"

"I feel it's a bit doubtful, after all, there's a limit to improvement!"

"The most advanced photolithography machines can definitely achieve a five-nanometer level, and Lighthouse Country has even released news that they are about to advance into the sub-one-nanometer field. The hard power gap between us is too great!"

"I hope it can at least reach below seven nanometers, to catch up with the average level of others!"

The results of these questions lingered in everyone's minds.

Academician Wang himself was no exception.

When he received the data, he didn't patiently read it page by page like old Professor Xu did last time.

Instead, he couldn't help but turn directly to the last few pages of the data, to the conclusion part—

"Hiss—"

"Heavens!!!"

"Zero point three five nanometer level!!!"

...Chapter 54: Lin's Threat Theory, Lighthouse Country Can't Sit Still!

Chapter 54: Lin's Threat Theory, Lighthouse Country Can't Sit Still!

"It actually reached a sub-one-nanometer level?"

"Really? Old Wang, don't bully me for not understanding photolithography machines!"

Academician Wang himself was somewhat incredulous.

He quickly flipped through more content from the beginning.

As he turned page after page, his excited mood did not diminish at all; instead, it became even more fervent.

"Authentic! It couldn't be more authentic!"

"These eighty-plus pages describe in extreme detail the equipment and process methods required for this 0.35-nanometer photolithography machine."

"It can even be said that this nanny-level tutorial almost lists all the sources and manufacturing methods for all the materials required for this photolithography machine!"

"Although some parts were not previously owned by our country, as long as we replicate them according to the content above, making this 0.35-nanometer photolithography machine is absolutely not a problem!"

"Those technologies we never possessed can also be learned and mastered through this data!"

"It can be said that these, these eighty-plus pages of data, are worth tens of millions, no, worth billions, tens of billions, even hundreds of billions!"
