33: We're not doing 5nm anymore! How about checking out a 1nm lithography machine?
Lu Feng and the others looked up.
It was none other than Professor Liu Zhiwen, whom Lu Feng had specially recruited.
Ever since Liu Zhiwen joined Lu Feng's chip project,
he had been cheerful every day.
Not only his own research projects,
but he would also handle all initial matters for the project.
He was almost always the first to arrive every day.
He would pick up tools and clean every nook and cranny here.
At this moment, his face was still beaming with a smile.
"Chief Engineer Lu, these are minor matters."
"I'll make a call immediately."
"We'll run a direct line from the power station."
"If one power station isn't enough,"
"then we'll use several, dozens."
"The importance of our site to the entire Dragon Country goes without saying."
Lu Feng nodded after hearing this.
Yes, the importance level here was undoubtedly very high.
"Alright! Then I'll leave this matter to you, Professor Liu."
"Can it be completed today?"
A confident smile appeared at the corner of Liu Zhiwen's mouth.
"Chief Engineer Lu, you underestimate us old scientific workers."
"A day is too long."
"I'll get it done within 2 hours."
"Good!"
Lu Feng was about to go check on the mechanical mold manufacturing.
He had just arrived.
They were experimenting with new molds.
These molds were the prototypes for all components of the Lithography Machine.
With these, the world's top Lithography Machine could be assembled.
To push the diffraction of light to its limit,
what humans could pursue and create was truly art.
Lu Feng sighed.
Then he reacted.
No.
It should be: what I created is truly art.
Just as he thought of this.
Suddenly!
A ding sounded in Lu Feng's mind.
[You have achieved enlightenment and progress from human sentiment and the mold manufacturing before you.]
[The principle of the Lithography Machine has broken through current limits.]
[All principles and manufacturing methods for the new Lithography Machine have been successfully enlightened.]
[chip size - 1 nanometer!!!]
What!!!
Lu Feng didn't have time to sigh!
He felt a massive amount of knowledge surge into his brain like a tide.
This time it was even more intense than the last.
This was actually not surprising.
1 nanometer had already surpassed the current limits of human technology.
The requirements for the Lithography Machine and its precision had reached an incredible level.
Therefore, it naturally could not be simply converted from the previous 5 nanometers.
It couldn't be simply converted to say that 1 nanometer was 5 times harder than 5 nanometers.
That would be wrong.
It should be said that the difficulty of 1 nanometer
was infinitely inestimable compared to 5 nanometers.
So the influx of knowledge at this moment
had a profound impact on Lu Feng.
He was already clutching his head in pain and rolling on the ground.
Cheng Yong immediately took out a mouthguard.
Then he pried open Lu Feng's mouth.
And put the mouthguard in.
Ever since Lu Feng experienced a headache last time,
he had been carrying it with him.
The purpose of this was to prevent people in pain from biting off their tongues unconsciously during a headache.
The mouthguard would prevent this from happening.
Sun Qing, who had been by Lu Feng's side, immediately stepped forward.
She tightly embraced Lu Feng with both hands.
To prevent Lu Feng from thrashing around and hurting himself.
Cheng Yong's eyelids twitched.
"Not like that, big sister!"
"Don't we have ropes?"
Sun Qing tightened her arms around Lu Feng.
She was a judo master, her arms stronger than ordinary people's.
After confirming that Lu Feng was controlled,
and would not move around or hurt himself,
Sun Qing, panting, glared at Cheng Yong.
"If we use ropes, what if Chief Engineer Lu gets hurt?"
"Will you take responsibility?"
Cheng Yong pouted, he indeed couldn't bear that responsibility.
"How is he?" he asked.
Sun Qing touched Lu Feng's neck.
Carefully feeling Lu Feng's pulse and heartbeat.
"Very stable, it shouldn't be a major problem."
"It might be related to migraines."
Cheng Yong's face showed a hint of worry.
"Our Dragon Country hasn't produced a talent like Lu Feng in over a hundred years."
"He must not have anything happen to him!"
"Ptooey ptooey ptooey!" Sun Qing spat on the ground a few times, completely disregarding her image.
Her usual beautiful and elegant demeanor instantly vanished.
Her beautiful eyes glared at Cheng Yong.
"Quickly slap yourself three times."
"You are not allowed to curse Chief Engineer Lu like that!"
Cheng Yong's eyes widened, "Where am I cursing..."
Then he looked up.
The surrounding engineers had all walked over.
Many of them had very worried expressions on their faces.
But fearing to disturb Sun Qing's rescue efforts,
they remained silent.
However, they heard Cheng Yong's words.
And all glared at Cheng Yong.
The meaning was clear.
Even if you are Chief Engineer Lu's personal bodyguard,
you are not allowed to speak about Chief Engineer Lu like that!
Seeing everyone's gazes, Cheng Yong
could only make a gesture of surrender.
"Alright, alright, alright!"
"My mouth was just speaking nonsense."
Saying that, he slapped himself three times.
"Forgive my loose tongue!"
"Forgive my loose tongue!"
Only then did Sun Qing snort!
And turned to look at Lu Feng.
Someone nearby asked aloud:
"What happened to Chief Engineer Lu?"
Sun Qing's eyes were still fixed on Lu Feng, and she replied:
"It happened once before at the Shenguang base."
"He also collapsed on the ground with a headache then."
"But later we sent him to the hospital for examination."
"No problems were found."
Many people around said:
"At Chief Engineer Lu's age, taking on such a massive project."
"And two of them."
"The amount of brain computation is beyond our imagination."
"He must get enough rest."
"And enough nutrition too!"
"Yes!"
"His body cannot afford any problems."
"Exactly!"
Someone else said:
"He must undergo the most thorough physical examination!"
Cheng Yong listened, and couldn't help but think:
You don't need to tell me, he's going soon, but the key is that Lu Feng definitely won't agree.
Just as everyone was chattering away,
Lu Feng woke up.
He saw that he was tightly embraced by Sun Qing.
He waved his hands repeatedly to break free.
"Alright, I'm fine now!"
Everyone around asked:
"Chief Engineer Lu, you must take care of your health!"
"Yes! You are the chief engineer of our project, our backbone."
Lu Feng stood up directly.
His headache was much better now.
While digesting the knowledge in his mind,
Lu Feng said:
"Everyone, don't worry."
"I just overused my brain and have a bit of a headache."
"It's a minor ailment."
"However," Lu Feng suddenly changed the subject.
"Our plan must be stopped!"
As soon as he finished speaking!
The crowd immediately erupted in a commotion.
"What??"
The engineers looked at each other.
Engineers from other departments ran over from outside, having heard the news of Chief Engineer Lu collapsing.
They all rushed over.
At this moment, they also heard what Lu Feng said.
And simultaneously exclaimed.
"What do you mean?"
"Chief Engineer Lu?"
"Our chip project has just begun?"
"And the plans and blueprints you proposed."
"Are all feasible!!"
"Why stop now?"
Even Sun Qing next to him blinked.
Frowning, she softly asked:
"Yes, Chief Engineer Lu, why?"
Lu Feng met everyone's gaze.
These gazes held curiosity, confusion, and more of a deep-seated regret and fear.
Fear that this chip project would again be stillborn.
Lu Feng didn't intend to keep them in suspense.
"Because I found that 5 nanometers isn't quite good enough."
"So I suddenly got an inspiration just now!"
"Now the Lithography Machine needs to be re-improved."
One engineer reacted the fastest and immediately asked:
"Improved to what size?"
Lu Feng's voice was firm and resounding.
Like a muffled thunderclap, he announced:
"1 nanometer!"
