Name: My father is Zhao Dehan, and I hope he will become a dragon!

Seven o'clock in the morning, at the provincial party committee building.

Sha Ruijingang returned from his morning run, his forehead slightly sweaty, and was reading the People's Daily front-page editorial on "independent innovation."

Secretary Bai knocked lightly on the door: "Secretary Sha, Comrade Zhao Dehan and his son Zhao Chongming are downstairs. They say they have an urgent matter to report."

"Father and son together?"

Sha Ruijin was slightly surprised: "Please have them come up."

Ten minutes later, Zhao Dehan and Zhao Chongming walked in side by side.

Zhao Dehan appeared calm and composed, while Zhao Chongming carried a black briefcase and had a clear, bright gaze.

"Secretary Sha, I'm sorry to bother you."

Zhao Dehan got straight to the point: "It's about the Guangmingfeng plot of land."

Sha Ruijin's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

However, he still calmly asked, "How so?"

Zhao Dehan smiled and said, "Chongming told me that he wants the land on Guangming Peak. It involves some crucial information, and I think we still need to discuss it thoroughly with Secretary Sha!"

Sha Ruijin was somewhat surprised.

Zhao Dehan has always been a law-abiding citizen, but today he actually brought his son to ask for land.

Could it be... that you got here through connections?

But this feeling is not right.

Zhao Dehan wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

The tone was calm: "Guangming Peak has been designated as industrial land and will be offered for sale through public auction. If you are interested, you can register according to the procedures."

Zhao Chongming smiled and said, "It's not that we can't afford it, it's too expensive!"

Sha Ruijin was taken aback.

This kid is way too blunt!

Many people are watching closely. Although it is still industrial land, Handong Province is quite different now than it was half a year ago. With the rise of Nova mobile phones, a large number of manufacturing industries have come to Handong Province.

Manufacturing industries in many coastal cities began to relocate inland.

The land in Guangmingfeng is very valuable. Even if we disregard commercial land and development projects, and even if we consider it as industrial land, it is well-connected and convenient for transportation.

Zhao Chongming wants it, but isn't he planning to spend the money?

Sha Ruijin asked with interest, "So, you have a plan?"

As he spoke, Sha Ruijin raised his hand, gesturing for the two to sit down.

Zhao Chongming stepped forward, opened the briefcase, took out a stack of documents, and presented them with both hands: "Secretary Sha, I'll be very frank with you, this land will bring huge economic value to Handong Province. I'm not bragging, I'm just here to deliver a national strategic opportunity."

"What arrogance!"

Sha Ruijin took the document, glanced at the cover, and then sat up straight: "White Paper on Core Technologies of Domestic 38nm Immersion Lithography Machine (Draft)"

Applicant: Chongming Science and Technology

47 invention patents have been applied for.

Nine features of the immersion fluid control system: solving problems such as watermarks, bubbles, and temperature fluctuations.

Nanoscale dual-stage motion control: 12 parameters achieve ±1nm positioning accuracy, including magnetic levitation and laser interferometer feedback.

Stability of 193nm ArF light source: Pulse control and energy uniformity of 7 domestically produced excimer lasers

Real-time optical aberration correction algorithm: 8 software compensations for lens manufacturing errors.

Overall system integration and alignment: 11 multi-module collaborations, wafer-mask synchronization.

Optical system: Employs aspherical reflection + multi-layer coating technology, numerical aperture NA=1.35;

Workpiece stage: Nanoscale positioning accuracy ±1.5nm, speed up to 500mm/s;

Control software: Fully independently developed, supporting real-time error compensation;

Key breakthrough: Bypassing ASML's core patents and building a parallel technology path.

47 patents may not seem like many, as an ASML EUV lithography machine involves over 10 patents. However, Zhao Chongming's 47 fundamental and unavoidable core patents are sufficient to build an independent technology path, circumvent ASML's patent wall, and achieve "legal domestic production."

He turned the pages one by one, his fingers trembling slightly.

"This...is it true?" Sha Ruijin looked up, his eyes filled with undisguised shock. "It can break the Wassenaar Arrangement's blockade?"

"It's not that it can, it's that it already is."

Zhao Chongming smiled and said, "The prototype is being assembled. I can say that the vast majority of the parts can be produced domestically. Of course, some key parts still need to be imported. My plan is to do as much as possible domestically and avoid importing whenever possible!"

Sha Ruijin asked, "When can it be assembled?"

Zhao Chongming smiled and said, "The process verification can be completed in the first quarter of next year. Once successful, China will have its first independently controllable DUV lithography capability."

He paused, then emphasized, "But this is just the beginning."

Sha Ruijin immediately became excited: "Tell me!"

Zhao Chongming continued, "My plan is to build a complete semiconductor industry chain in Handong, with lithography machines as the core."

Upstream: Specialty gases, photoresist, silicon wafers;

Midstream: Chip design, manufacturing, and packaging/testing;

Downstream: mobile phones, automobiles, industrial control terminals.

Within three years, we will create an industrial cluster worth hundreds of billions of yuan.

After a long silence, Sha Ruijin suddenly asked, "Why did you choose Bright Peak?"

Zhao Chongming pointed to the attached diagram: "With a single plot of land exceeding 500 mu, dual-circuit power supply, low groundwater level, and stable geology, Guangmingfeng is the only place in the entire Handong region that meets the construction requirements for a Class 10 cleanroom."

Sha Ruijin scratched his head. He also had a science and engineering background, so he didn't need to explain things in detail. He nodded and said, "Okay, no problem!"

Zhao Dehan added at the opportune moment: "Secretary Sha, this isn't just a matter for Chongming Science and Technology alone. Handong has gradually shifted from relying on real estate to becoming a manufacturing-based province, but we still lack a better opportunity. Could we create a 'Handong Intelligent Manufacturing' initiative and promote the slogan 'Handong Technology'?"

Sha Ruijin took a deep breath, feeling that the future was just around the corner.

It's so clear.

At that moment, Sha Ruijin turned around, his gaze sharp: "If I give you the land, what can you guarantee?"

Zhao Chongming held up three fingers without hesitation.

"First, the first engineering prototype must be powered on before December 31, 2008!"

"Secondly, we aim to attract over 50 upstream and downstream enterprises to settle in Handong within three years!"

"Third, all core technologies are 100% self-developed and we will never be subject to others' control."

Sha Ruijin gave him a deep look, then suddenly smiled: "Good! The Guangming Peak plot will no longer be auctioned off; it will be repurposed as a land supply for national strategic industries. Chongming, I believe in you; you won't let me down!"

Zhao Chongming smiled slightly: "Secretary Sha, don't be too hasty. You can have a professional take a look at my patents to determine their feasibility. I can also add that these 47 patents on the surface are the core patents that have been publicly applied for and can be displayed. In fact, there are many more hidden patents, involving technical secrets such as material formulas and control codes. These must be protected as trade secrets and will not be patented!"

Sha Ruijin nodded and said, "I understand!"

After a pause, Sha Ruijin looked at Zhao Dehan and said with an envious tone, "Dehan, you really have a good son!"
