50: Section 50

"Welcome, representatives from all countries, to witness our latest generation of lin's lithography machine!"

"Please, after entering the research institute, you must abide by the following rules..."

The staff of the institute warned everyone about various matters.

Of course, they didn't care about these things at all and soon began to urge them on.

However, Academician Wang had no intention of delaying them either.

After stating some important matters, he directly opened the door to the room where the lin's lithography machine was placed, allowing everyone to enter freely to visit and observe the debugging process.

Meanwhile, the media reporters raised their cameras.

Although foreign media couldn't live stream, they could record it and broadcast it back in their home countries.

The people of Huaguo, on the other hand, had long been waiting in the official live stream.

They also wanted to witness this moment with their own eyes.

At least, if the officials disappointed them, they could condemn them immediately!

However.

Whoosh—

The moment the door opened, everyone noticed the enormous machine placed inside.

And because the machine was so massive, it was impossible to see its full extent at a glance.

At the same time, the media broadcast also began, and the camera instantly focused on this photolithography machine, allowing all citizens to see this moment immediately.

"Hiss~!"

"It actually exists!?"

"Look! The officials didn't lie!"

The moment they saw it, someone exclaimed in surprise.

However, unlike ordinary people who had never seen a photolithography machine before,

The professors present appeared very calm.

After observing for a moment, Professor Colton from the Princeton Research Institute of Lighthouse Country couldn't help but sneer.

"Heh, isn't this just a ninety-nanometer-level photolithography machine?"

"Don't think I can't tell just because you've added other accessories around it!"

Chapter 60: Slap in the Face? Everything is Backward!! At Least a Century Ahead of the World!

Whoosh—

As soon as Professor Colton uttered those words, everyone else present was in an uproar.

Given his status, he was one of the most famous and senior professors in Lighthouse Country, and his words would certainly not be groundless!

Coupled with the fact that everyone already doubted Huaguo's ability to develop a brand new photolithography machine,

So they all immediately echoed Colton's sentiments.

"What? This is just a ninety-nanometer photolithography machine?"

"See, I told you, Huaguo couldn't possibly make anything below one nanometer!"

"They really just planned to use an old photolithography machine, casually add some things to make it look new, and then tell us it's a brand new photolithography machine!"

"Heh, you didn't expect it, did you? The ninety-nanometer first-generation photolithography machine was originally created by our Professor Colton!"

"Professor Colton must have been able to spot the clues in these components at a glance!"

"This Huaguo, still wants to play these tricks, but ended up being exposed by our Professor Colton, hahaha!"

"This is big news! Quickly record it!"

Others were just shocked, but the media reporters became excited, as if they had found a big piece of news detrimental to Huaguo. They instantly pointed their cameras and microphones at Professor Colton, wanting to interview him.

"Professor Colton, how did you confirm that this is a ninety-nanometer-level photolithography machine and not Huaguo's new photolithography machine?"

"Professor, Professor! Could you please explain it to us?"

"Professor, what do you think of Huaguo's deceptive practice?"

"Professor, can you comment on the technological content of Huaguo's photolithography machine?"

"…"

Although the people present were all top researchers, professors, scholars, and experts from various countries,

However, when it came to ninety-nanometer-level photolithography machines, Professor Colton was indeed the most familiar with them.

Only he personally participated in the production of Lighthouse Country's ninety-nanometer-level photolithography machine forty years ago.

And after Lighthouse Country's subsequent photolithography machine upgrades, other countries were then allowed to purchase photolithography machines with safety devices disengaged at high prices, enabling them to disassemble and study them.

A typical photolithography machine, due to its extremely complex internal structure, has parts that, once disassembled, could fill seventeen large truck containers.

And after assembly, if the safety device is activated, attempting to disassemble it again for research will trigger an automatic destruction function.

Some of the most critical parts would suffer irreversible damage, which also cut off the idea of other countries wanting to purchase machines for disassembly and research.

Just like Huaguo, even if it possessed a photolithography machine from Netherlands with a maximum of fourteen nanometers, it would be difficult for them to comprehend and research it on their own.

They could only explore and advance with the ninety-nanometer-level photolithography machine they had already made.

It was precisely because of this that wanting to achieve a sudden leap, from ninety nanometers to below one nanometer in one go, was simply wishful thinking.

Even though everyone had received permission to visit, they were deeply skeptical, and no one truly believed that Huaguo had successfully researched it.

Now that Professor Colton, who could be called the godfather of ninety-nanometer-level technology, was about to speak, everyone naturally turned their gaze to him.

Colton looked disdainfully at the huge, elliptical-cylindrical main body of the photolithography machine in the very center.

With a cold smile, he explained to everyone, "The projection objective lens used in this machine body has only a four-times reduction ratio. Currently, only ninety-nanometer machines use lenses with this ratio."

"And the focusing and leveling technology and the wafer stage and reticle stage technology are even more ridiculous; these can only meet the photolithography process requirements for three key layers: ninety nanometers, one hundred ten nanometers, and two hundred eighty nanometers."

"Still want below one nanometer?"

"Even if it's one nanometer more precise than ninety nanometers, making it eighty-nine nanometers, it still can't do it!"

As Professor Colton walked around the machine.

He continuously pointed out configurations on the machine that were identical to a ninety-nanometer photolithography machine, repeatedly confirming that this machine, from beginning to end, was merely a ninety-nanometer photolithography machine!

Tsk tsk—!!

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed expressions of contempt.

Most of them were already familiar with these aspects, even if some were not as familiar with ninety-nanometer machines, having only seen more advanced ones.

However, advanced machines were, after all, upgrades of older models.

So, after Professor Colton's detailed explanation, they all applied their own knowledge, further confirming that this was indeed a machine that might be the most advanced for Huaguo.

But for their great Lighthouse Country, it was merely a product of a bygone era!

Being criticized by over forty top professors, experts, and scholars was bad enough; they also faced continuous attacks on their craftsmanship for being poor and inadequate.

More importantly, it was conclusively proven that this was a complete farce from beginning to end.

Bringing experts and professors from numerous countries internationally was just to watch a meticulously staged farce by Huaguo.

And after this, Huaguo's reputation would only plummet further!

Thinking of this, those who were genuinely concerned about this new technology exhibition couldn't bear it.

"I'm truly speechless!!!"

"Why would the officials do this!?"

"Now even the last shred of dignity has been torn away; we can't even find an excuse to refute them!"

"This is too much of a scam!"

"Goodbye, Mom, I'm going on a long voyage tonight, a long voyage to Lighthouse Country where I can breathe free air and enjoy advanced technology~"

"Get lost, you sheepdog upstairs!!!"

"Although I also want to curse the sheepdog, what I want to curse more now is these brainless officials. Can they really make such a terrible decision?"

"Damn it, so annoying, turn it off, turn it off, I'm not watching!"

"Exactly, continuing to watch would only lead to more humiliation! Today is probably going to be a carnival for the fifty-cent army."

"…"

Watching the number of live viewers plummet, the Huaguo media, as the sole broadcaster, became incredibly awkward.

They were also official media, and they naturally hoped to broadcast scenes that would make the Huaguo people proud.

However, at this moment, it went against their original intention.

It even made more people lose confidence in Huaguo!

However, their station director had instructed them that no matter what, they must broadcast to the very end and absolutely not interrupt it!

The cameraman could only grit his teeth and continue to point the camera at the foreign experts who were continuously criticizing the Huaguo officials.

"Many of the values on these machines are ninety-nanometer level, not some brand new photolithography machine at all!"

"He couldn't have gotten all the values wrong, could he?"

"So, the Huaguo officials really intended from the beginning not to let us appear here?"

"shit, so, if it weren't for our countries arranging bodyguards for us, would we really be in mortal danger?"

"Huaguo officials are too malicious!"

"Hmph, in science, one is one, and two is two. No falsification is allowed!"

"The Huaguo people are too insidious! I advise everyone to bring their own food, otherwise, you don't know if they will poison us!"

"To cover up a lie, they would even go so far as to drag all top scientists down with them. Is Huaguo too terrifying? Isn't this already terrorism?"
