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

The news that the prototype of the first-generation lithography machine has been successfully tested.

At first, it only circulated within the science park.

But this level of achievement.

It's impossible to keep it a secret for long.

In just three days.

The news then reached the capital.

It then spread throughout the entire industrial system.

Major research institutes across the country.

Key machinery factory.

Electronics industry unit.

Almost everyone received the message.

National Semiconductor Experimental Center.

The first prototype of an independently developed lithography machine has been successfully developed.

Although it's just a prototype.

It's still a long way from truly large-scale production.

But the meaning is completely different.

Because that means...

China has officially gained the qualification to enter the core field of semiconductors.

After the news spread.

The entire industrial sector was in an uproar.

......

Beijing.

Conference room of the Ministry of Industry.

A group of leaders are having a meeting.

The test report that had just been delivered was placed on the table.

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Much later.

An elderly leader slowly put down the document.

I can't help but sigh.

"That's amazing."

"That's amazing."

The people around him nodded in agreement.

From machine tools to automation control.

"Next, industrial machine tools."

"Now they've developed a lithography machine."

"Lin Jian'an is simply a prodigy."

In a word.

Laughter immediately filled the conference room.

Obviously.

Everyone has become accustomed to Lin Jian'an constantly creating miracles.

Chen Zhenhua said with a smile:

"Some people used to say that the investment in the science park was too large."

"Does anyone still say that now?"

Everyone immediately shook their heads.

What a joke.

The lithography machine is a strategic achievement.

Let alone a science park.

Even ten science parks would be worth it.

soon.

The meeting reached a resolution.

The government will further increase its support for the semiconductor industry.

Special funds have increased.

Talent development has increased.

Related supporting industries were launched simultaneously.

The news was relayed back to the science park.

The morale of the entire experimental center soared once again.

......

at the same time.

foreign.

Inside a conference room.

The atmosphere, however, was completely different.

Several men in suits were sitting together.

A thick stack of documents was placed on the table.

The one on top.

Several large characters were clearly written there.

Huaxia Lithography Equipment Research Report

The leading man finished reviewing the documents.

His complexion grew increasingly grim.

Is it really true?

The technical consultant next to him nodded.

"Basically confirmed."

"The prototype has completed testing."

"Moreover, the core technology route is completely different from what we expected."

Upon hearing this...

The meeting room fell silent.

Many people looked shocked.

Because according to their original judgment.

China will need at least another decade or so.

The result is now.

They actually produced a prototype.

This speed is ridiculously fast.

Much later.

The leading man slowly said:

"A reassessment is necessary."

"in addition."

"Continue to pay attention to the National Semiconductor Experiment Center."

Speaking of it.

He paused.

His gaze gradually turned cold.

"Especially Lin Jian'an."

......

At this time.

The science park, however, was bustling with activity.

After the prototype was successfully developed.

The project team didn't celebrate for long.

Because everyone knows it.

The real challenge comes later.

Mass production.

stability.

Process improvement.

Each of these problems is not simple.

Inside the meeting room.

Dean Zhou is leading a discussion with the experts.

"The accuracy of the prototype has reached expectations."

"But its service life is still insufficient."

"In addition, the production costs are too high."

"We must continue to optimize it."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just then.

Lin Jian'an pushed open the door and walked in.

"How's the discussion going?"

Dean Zhou gave a wry smile.

"There are a lot of problems."

"I feel like I'm losing almost all my hair."

Gu Changfeng chuckled beside him.

"You didn't have much left to begin with."

Laughter immediately filled the conference room.

Dean Zhou was so angry that he glared at him.

"Get lost."

"I've gone bald from scientific research."

The atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Then.

The group continued discussing the technical solutions.

Lin Jian'an then quietly opened the system.

National Semiconductor Experimental Center

Current development level: Level 3

[Industry chain construction progress: 39%]

[Lithography machine project completion rate: 46%]

See here.

Lin Jian'an nodded slightly.

Progress is good.

But we are still far from our goal.

Just then.

A new prompt suddenly appeared in the system.

[Abnormal information detected]

[Overseas fund flows detected]

[Target: Businesses surrounding the science park]

[Risk Level: A]

Ok?

Lin Jian'an's heart skipped a beat.

They arrived as expected.

From the day the prototype was successfully completed.

He guessed that some people would get restless.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Thinking about this...

He immediately checked the details.

A few seconds later.

A document came to mind.

After reading the content.

Lin Jian'an's expression gradually turned cold.

These people were not directly targeting the experimental center.

Instead, they set their sights on peripheral companies.

Materials supplier.

Equipment processing plant.

Electronic component manufacturing plant.

They're all on the list.

Obviously.

The other party intends to target the entire supply chain.

That was a really underhanded move.

Because the experimental center is very strong.

It's impossible for them to produce everything themselves.

If the supporting companies run into problems.

The entire project will be affected.

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an stood up immediately.

"Old Zhou."

"Give me a list of our recent partner companies."

Dean Zhou was taken aback.

"Now?"

"right."

Although I don't understand the reason.

But they still quickly brought the documents over.

Lin Jian'an flipped through the list.

System synchronous analysis.

soon.

Three names were marked.

See the results.

His eyes turned completely cold.

There was indeed a problem.

......

That evening.

The security department of the science park suddenly received a notification.

Strengthen safety inspections of key enterprises.

Many people found it strange.

The next day...

That's when the problem came to light.

A precision parts factory.

Technical data leaks were discovered.

An electronic component company.

An unusual flow of funds was discovered.

There is also a materials company.

The person in charge was actually planning to abscond with the money.

The news is out.

The entire science park was terrified.

Gu Changfeng was filled with lingering fear.

"Oh shit."

"Fortunately, it was discovered early."

"Otherwise, the project will really be dragged down."

Dean Zhou's face also looked grim.

"Looks like someone's watching us."

This time.

No one thought it was a coincidence anymore.

It is clear.

There are people targeting the semiconductor supply chain.

And that very evening.

Zhao Changhe also arrived at the science park.

In the conference room.

He placed a document on the table.

"We found something."

Lin Jian'an opened the file.

It's an overseas investment institution.

On the surface, it appears to be a normal company.

In reality, it is related to multiple cases of technology theft.

Zhao Changhe said:

"These people are smarter than the Deepsea Project."

"They don't steal technology."

"They're holding you back."

"To ensure you never develop."

Gu Changfeng couldn't help but curse:

"That's fucking shady."

Zhao Changhe nodded.

"So this time we can't just defend."

"We need to take the initiative."

The air grew quiet.

Everyone understands.

The semiconductor industry is no longer just a technological issue.

It is a new contest.

And just then...

The system issued another prompt.

[New Main Story Begins]

[Mission Name: The Battle to Defend the Semiconductor Industry]

[Goal: To build a complete industrial ecosystem]

[Phase-based reward: Second-generation lithography technology]

[Special Award: Advanced Chip Design System]

See here.

Lin Jian'an's eyes lit up.

Second-generation lithography machine.

finally come.

at the same time.

The night outside the window is getting darker.

The science park was still brightly lit.

In rows of laboratory buildings.

Countless researchers are still working.

No one knows how many difficulties the future holds.

But everyone knows it.

This is a path we must continue down.

Because of what they are protecting today.

It is not just a lithography machine.

It is also the hope for the future of the nation's industry.
