Courtyard Houses: From Families of Martyrs and Orphans to Giants of the Times

After the lithography machine project broke through the key technological bottlenecks.

The entire semiconductor experimental center was working at full speed.

Many steps that were originally stuck.

They began to advance the project in succession.

The mechanical team has completed the design of a new precision structure.

The control system team developed a dynamic compensation program.

The materials team has successfully prepared the first batch of high-precision optical materials.

Good news kept coming in.

The atmosphere in the entire science park is becoming increasingly lively.

Everyone knows.

The first prototype is not far off.

And as the project's overall leader.

Lin Jian'an was busier than before.

Because the closer you get to success.

The more likely problems will occur.

That morning.

Gu Changfeng had just entered the office.

Then I saw Lin Jian'an asleep, slumped over the table.

The table was piled high with blueprints.

There was also a half-cup of tea that had gone cold.

Gu Changfeng was immediately helpless.

"This guy."

"I've stayed up all night again."

Just then.

Lin Jian'an suddenly opened his eyes.

"What time is it?"

Gu Changfeng rolled his eyes.

"Seven o'clock."

"You didn't sleep all night, did you?"

"Going to sleep."

"I slept for half an hour."

Gu Changfeng's lips twitched.

"You call this sleeping?"

Lin Jian'an smiled.

I stood up and stretched my shoulders.

"What stage is the prototype assembly at?"

"Final debugging has begun."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Jian'an's eyes lit up.

"Walk."

"Let's go take a look."

......

Core workshop of the semiconductor experimental center.

This place has become the most heavily guarded area in the entire science park.

Security personnel were standing at the entrance.

Entry requires multiple checks.

Because it's inside.

It is the first domestically developed lithography machine prototype in the country.

I just entered the workshop.

Everyone was captivated by the sight before them.

The enormous equipment stood silently in the center.

The complex network of circuits is densely packed.

Various precision structures are interconnected.

Dozens of engineers were busy working around the area.

Although it is not fully assembled yet.

But it has already taken shape.

Gu Changfeng couldn't help but sigh.

"to be honest."

"I still feel like I'm dreaming."

"Back then, we were still repairing machine tools."

"Now they're almost able to build this thing."

Lin Jian'an smiled.

"This is nothing."

"There will be even more advanced ones in the future."

Gu Changfeng simply waved his hand.

"Stop talking."

"Besides, my heart can't take it."

The two were chatting.

Dean Zhou walked over quickly.

His face was full of excitement.

"Jian'an!"

"The lens assembly is now installed!"

"How were the test results?"

"Better than expected!"

"The error is controlled within the design range!"

Upon hearing this...

Many experts around him smiled.

This is great news.

Because the optical system has always been one of the most difficult parts.

It has now passed smoothly.

This means we are one step closer to success.

however.

Just as everyone was happy.

A system notification suddenly popped up.

[Status of Testing Items]

[Potential risks identified]

The control system has a synchronization deviation.

[Immediate inspection recommended]

See here.

Lin Jian'an's heart skipped a beat.

really.

Things didn't go so smoothly.

Thinking about this...

He walked directly into the controlled area.

"Pause debugging."

Everyone was taken aback.

Dean Zhou asked in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

"Check the control system again."

Upon hearing this...

Many people are puzzled.

The control system was only tested and passed a few days ago.

Theoretically, there's no problem.

But after such a long time.

A consensus has been reached.

Lin Jian'an said he was inspecting.

Then it's best not to ask why.

So very quickly.

The engineers began retesting.

Half an hour later.

The result came out.

Everyone was stunned.

There is indeed a slight synchronization deviation in the control module.

Although very small.

But once it runs.

Errors will accumulate over time.

Ultimately, this affects the accuracy of exposure.

Dean Zhou's back was covered in sweat.

"Fortunately, it was discovered early."

"Otherwise, there will definitely be problems with the prototype testing."

The experts standing nearby couldn't help but sigh.

"Is Jian'an's eye a scanner?"

Gu Changfeng couldn't stop laughing.

You'll get used to it.

"I used to think it was weird too."

This immediately caused a burst of laughter.

......

The next few days.

The entire project team has entered the final sprint stage.

Almost everyone lived in the experimental center.

Folding beds are everywhere in the office.

The canteen provides meals 24 hours a day.

Many experts worked continuously for more than ten hours.

When I get tired, I take a nap in the chair.

I woke up and kept working.

No one complained.

No one complained of being tired.

Because everyone knows that.

They are participating in history.

at last.

Another week has passed.

The prototype assembly is now complete.

The news is out.

The entire science park was abuzz.

Inside the meeting room.

Hundreds of experts gathered together.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement.

Chen Zhenhua made a special trip to come.

He asked with a smile as soon as he entered:

"Ready?"

Dean Zhou straightened his chest.

"We can start anytime."

Upon hearing this...

Applause erupted from the audience.

Then.

The group arrived at the testing workshop.

Central location.

The first domestically produced lithography machine prototype stands quietly.

All eyes were on it.

Many of the veteran experts even had red eyes.

Because they know all too well how difficult the journey will be.

Start from scratch.

No experience.

No reference available.

They forged their own path.

And today.

The time has finally come to verify the results.

"Start the test."

As the order was issued.

The entire workshop fell silent.

The engineer pressed the start button.

hum-

The equipment started operating slowly.

Various systems began to start up.

The control module is operating normally.

The optical system is functioning normally.

The mechanical platform is operating normally.

The data is constantly being updated.

Just started.

Everyone was very nervous.

I didn't even dare to breathe too heavily.

Time passed second by second.

The equipment has been operating stably at all times.

at last.

The first round of testing has ended.

The test report was printed out quickly.

The engineer in charge of the testing held the report.

My hands were trembling slightly.

"The results are in."

The air fell silent instantly.

Everyone was looking at him.

"How is it?"

Dean Zhou was so anxious he almost snatched it away.

The engineer took a deep breath.

Then he said loudly:

"Test successful!"

boom!

The entire workshop erupted in chaos.

applause.

Cheers erupted.

Shouts rang out at the same time.

Many people were so excited that they jumped up.

Gu Changfeng then hugged the expert next to him.

"It's done!"

"It really worked!"

Chen Zhenhua clapped vigorously.

She couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

And several elderly experts with gray hair.

She was so excited that her eyes turned red.

A decades-long scientific research career.

Today we finally see the results.

That feeling is indescribable.

at the same time.

The system notification also sounded.

[First-generation lithography machine prototype completed]

[Task progress increased]

Current completion rate: 46%

[Received Rewards]

Advanced lithography control technology

Nanoscale precision compensation technology

[Semiconductor Industry Chain Planning Upgrade]

A flood of knowledge rushed into my mind.

Lin Jian'an was also filled with excitement.

But soon.

He calmed down.

Because he knew.

The successful prototype is just the beginning.

There is still a long way to go before mass production.

Just then.

The system refreshed again.

[International Developments in Testing Technology]

[Foreign capital is starting to pay attention to China's semiconductor development]

[Abnormal intelligence detected]

[Action suspected to target semiconductor testing center]

[Danger Level: A]

See here.

Lin Jian'an frowned slightly.

Again.

It seems that with technological breakthroughs...

Some people are already getting restless.

Thinking about this...

He looked up at the lithography machine prototype that had just successfully started operating.

His gaze gradually hardened.

no matter who.

No one can stop this road.

Because it belonged to the era of China's semiconductor industry.

It has officially begun.

And a new storm.

It is clearly approaching quietly.
