at this time,

The Xiao Group's factory, located at the foot of Xishan Mountain, is a secret military production base dozens of meters underground.

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Grandpa, haven't we already found a product to replace the lithography machine?"

Xiao Huai'an nodded and pointed to the high-end precision equipment in front of him, saying, "Yes, this is the nanoimprint lithography machine developed by our scientific and technological personnel to replace the EUV lithography machine."

"However, nanoimprint lithography machines are only suitable for high-precision processing. They have low throughput and slow speed, and are mainly used in quantum devices, mask manufacturing and scientific research. They are difficult to mass-produce quantum crystal logic chips."

Qin Huanhuan listened to the grandfather and grandson's conversation as if it were gibberish. As a liberal arts student, she knew absolutely nothing about quantum mechanics, nanotechnology, or chips.

So she asked in a low voice, "Honey, what is a nanoimprint lithography machine? It sounds so high-tech."

Xiao Huai'an laughed and said, "Hehe, Huanhuan, you should ask me instead of Xiao Zhan, because this is a project I was in charge of, and no one knows it better than me."

"The so-called nanophotonic imprint lithography machine directly imprints circuit patterns onto a silicon wafer using a mold, similar to stamping the silicon wafer. It does not require a complex optical system, and its cost and energy consumption are only one-tenth that of EUV lithography."

"However, its disadvantages include poor mold durability, high defect rate, and difficulty in multi-layer alignment. Currently, it is mainly used in specific fields such as memory chips."

"However, something is better than nothing. Right now, the United States and other Western countries are holding us by the throat in lithography machines and chip manufacturing. We have no choice but to save ourselves."

Xiao Zhan: "Especially in the application of military products, the United States has restricted our research and development, and we dare not use many of their products, for fear that they have left backdoors in their product design. In the end, the high-end weapons we produce may not be able to fight the other side, and we may even be commanded by the other side to fight ourselves."

Qin Huanhuan's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and she said, "This is terrifying."

Xiao Huai'an nodded and said, "We developed a substitute in just two or three years. Although it does not yet meet our expectations, it has broken through many of the foreign technological blockades against us. Now we have formed a complete self-sufficient industrial chain from research and development to production and supply. The era when Western countries wanted to contain our technological bottlenecks is gone forever. Our high-end weapons have achieved 100% independent research and development and production, and some of our military technologies have even reached the world's advanced level."

"Because we know that dignity lies only on the edge of the sword."

"Truth lies only within the range of missiles."

Even Qin Huanhuan, a woman, felt her blood boil with excitement. She was deeply moved by Xiao Huai'an's sincere passion and patriotism, and secretly resolved, "I will also become a patriotic citizen and a national entrepreneur in the future."

At this moment, Qin Huanhuan developed a strong interest in quantum communication chips, so she asked, "Grandpa, what exactly is the function of this 'Fuxi Quantum Energy Chip'?"

Xiao Huai'an smiled and said, "The Fuxi Quantum Communication Chip that we researched and developed is used in high-end weapons and equipment. Its advantages lie in its miniaturized navigation and anti-interference capabilities, and it can maintain accuracy in complex electromagnetic environments."

"Such advanced technologies are key to preventing easy interception and exploitation by the enemy. For example, the flight computer system, anti-jamming algorithms, and electronic signature recognition in the bomb are all core elements of the enemy's precision strike concept."

"Our goal is to thoroughly analyze and dismantle these core technologies of the enemy, crack their anti-jamming algorithms, and break their electronic warfare advantage. Then, the air strike advantage of the United States and its allies will be greatly reduced."

Xiao Zhan said to Qin Huanhuan, "You might not understand this, so let me put it this way. In the past few years, there have been quite a few similar military incidents. For example, last year in the war between the Soviet Union and the European breadbasket, there were reports that someone modified parts of the GBU-39B and used them in the warheads of drones. This kind of modification is not a simple physical assembly, but involves electronic characteristics, guidance signals, and jamming suppression technology. An earlier example is when Israel tried to retrieve captured Javelin anti-tank missiles in Gaza the year before last. The outside world saw how weapon recovery and information control were treated as part of the operation. Also, last year, the Soviet Union obtained several HIMARS rockets in Donbas, and the United States quickly invested resources to find vulnerabilities in the system after learning about it."

Qin Huanhuan understood this time and said, "It means that our independently developed 'Fuxi Quantum Communication Chip' provides unique technical enhancement services for our country's military products, making it impossible for the enemy to calculate the trajectory of our weapons, thus preventing them from intercepting the target."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Hehe, that's roughly the idea."

Xiao Huai'an said, "The best way is to solve problems with problems. When we encounter man-made difficulties, we don't need to solve the problems, but rather we should learn to create a bigger problem for the other party. With troubles offsetting each other, the other party will be forced to reconcile with us."

"This incident involving lithography machines and chips proves this point."

"For example, our successful research and development of lithography machines and our independent research and development and production of chips have made Western countries, led by the United States, restless. They have lifted sanctions against us and relaxed their imports of our products."

"Hehe, but it's too late. We have already built the world's most advanced manufacturing industry chain, and the development of national industrialization can be completely self-sufficient."

At this moment, An Zizhao walked over quickly and whispered in Xiao Huai'an's ear, "President Xiao, it's a call from the headquarters leader."

Xiao Huai'an nodded and said, "Okay."

Then he said to Xiao Zhan, "You continue the tour with Huanhuan."

Xiao Zhan: "Okay."

Xiao Huai'an left with Uncle Yu and An Zizhao.

Qin Huanhuan subconsciously took out her phone, only to find that it had no signal.

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "We're dozens of meters underground right now, with no network signal. You're my wife, that's why I didn't take your phone. Here, only a special internal secure communication system can connect us to the outside world."

Qin Huanhuan exclaimed in surprise again, "My God, this factory is actually built dozens of meters underground?"

Xiao Zhan: "Otherwise what?"

Qin Huanhuan: "It really needs to be this secure, otherwise it would be easy for criminals to discover it."

Xiao Zhan: "This place has been targeted by agents from many countries, so the security here is at the highest level."

Qin Huanhuan asked instinctively, "Wouldn't it be very dangerous to be targeted by them? Are those people trying to get their hands on our latest research findings?"

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Yes, so my task is to protect it and ensure its absolute safety."

Qin Huanhuan immediately thought of Xia Keke and asked, "Could it be that Xia Keke cooperated with you to deal with those people?"

Xiao Zhan: "As clever as you are."

At this moment, An Zizhao came over and said, "Young Master Zhan, Madam, President Xiao is already waiting for you outside."
