"Teacher, what surprise did you prepare for me!" Boss Jia hurried to the joint laboratory and found Mr. Ni in the laboratory.

"I thought you wouldn't come here today!" Ni Guangnan rolled his eyes and said, "Come with me."

"Okay!" Boss Jia nodded, then followed General Manager Ni to the institute all the way, and finally entered a very tightly protected room inside the institute, and saw a large machine five or six meters long.

"What is this?" Boss Jia asked curiously.

"This is the prototype of the 200nm lithography machine!" Chief Engineer Ni said proudly.

"What! What do you think is this?" This time, Boss Jia was shocked.

"I said this is a 200nm lithography machine produced entirely by us in China and has independent intellectual property rights!" Ni Guangnan's head was about to be lifted to the sky. "After visiting the production of ASML that day, didn't I tell you that I have a thorough understanding of the 200nm lithography machine?"

"This is my result!" Ni Guangnan proudly pointed to the machine in front of him and said, "This is the first 200nm-level lithography machine independently manufactured by our China."

"The originals of this lithography machine are purely domestic, and the domestic yield of core components is as high as 70%. As far as I know, Nikon's domestic yield is about 50%, while ASML's domestic yield is only 10%. Therefore, our equipment is the highest domestic yield in the world."

"My teacher, you are too amazing, we have only been back for a few days, and you have built the equipment?" Boss Jia said in shock.

[PS: Explain that the current timeline is that Boss Jia has just returned from the Netherlands. The 70nm lithography machine is still in the Netherlands and has not yet been shipped]

"Actually, this machine was built before I left, but there were still some problems. On the day we left, didn't I tell you that I still have to do experiments? It was to test the problem of this machine."

"However, this problem was solved after I visited the ASML factory. It turned out that the way their factory installed machines was installed using hydraulic pressure, so that the installation accuracy could be accurate to 0.001 mm, and our original installation method could only be accurate to 0.1 mm!"

"Although it's only 0.099 mm apart, it's a gap of thousands of kilometers on nm-level machines. So after I came back, I reinstalled the machine and used the hydraulic installation method. It was indeed successful!" When Ni Guangnan said this, his expression was both proud and happy.

But this is also normal. Ni Guangnan's dream has always been to create a CPU and a complete computer system for China. Now this dream has finally taken a big step. A lithography machine that can reach the world's terminal level has finally been created by China's own power!

"It's so amazing, can it be mass-produced?" Boss Jia circled the lithography machine several times, and then couldn't help asking.

"If mass production is needed, it will take a certain amount of time, which is mainly a problem of production equipment!" Ni Guangnan sighed and said, "Although 75% of the originals are made in China, about 50% of the parts are not available in China. They are all parts hand-made in the laboratory by our researchers."

"Although these parts are made, the efficiency is too low. A researcher can only make a hand-made part in 10 days. In addition, key lenses, laser heads and other equipment also need to be imported from Germany. There is still a gap in these parts!"

"So if you really plan to mass-produce these equipment, you must design a special production line and customize some special equipment. The combined cost is probably another 200 million to 300 million US dollars!"

"It's another 200 million!" Boss Jia licked his lips. The 200nm lithography machine is a mid-range lithography machine in the world, so the price is not too expensive. One is about 10 million US dollars, and 300 million is enough for Boss Jia to directly sell 30 finished products of 200nm lithography machines.

"So I think there is no need to mass-produce a 200nm lithography machine now. After all, the highest technology is 70nm, followed by 140nm, and the next is 250nm. Such technology may be out of date in a few years."

"We have mastered the technical reserves for manufacturing these equipment, and it is enough to prepare for a high-end lithography machine that breaks through to 70nm. Now mass production is purely a loss of money!" Ni Guangnan said with a sigh.

Although he advised Boss Jia not to mass-produce it, he hoped that the equipment could be mass-produced immediately, because it was the product that was made after most of the strength of the entire institute and worked hard for 6 months. If it was not produced energy, a large part of this effort would be in vain.

But Ni Guangnan also knew that if he invested $200nm of this 200nm equipment to mass production, he would definitely not be able to recover the capital, so he had to give up.

"What if I just want to invest several hundred million to build this factory?" Boss Jia pondered.

"Then you probably have to invest at least 1 billion US dollars!" Ni Guangnan shook his head and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. Even if we can mass-produce lithography machines, it is fine if we want to mass-produce chips. But if we want to mass-produce CPUs, it will not work. CPUs are not simple. Only one chip is enough. They also need many other semiconductor devices to use. This requires a large amount of capital investment, and the amount of this capital will exceed 1 billion!"

"Then I'll think about it!" Boss Jia fell into deep thought when he heard General Manager Ni's words.

"Come on, you can think about these questions when you go home. Come with me, I have other things to show you!"

"There are still things!" Boss Jia was excited, and then followed Ni Guangnan to walk deep into the research institute and walked to the door of a laboratory.

This is what I mentioned before, there are only three first-level dust-free laboratories in the Joint Experimental Center.

"Put this set of clothes!" Ni Guangnan took out two sets of dust-free clothes from the closet, and asked himself and Boss Jia to change into one. After 20 minutes of dust removal, the two finally entered the laboratory.

"This is another gift I give you!" Ni Guangnan smiled, then pointed to a machine on the laboratory bench and said.

Boss Jia put his head over and then showed an extremely surprised expression.

"This is... a cell phone!!!" Boss Jia exclaimed, "Teacher, you are so awesome! You have made the cell phone!"
