Black Technology Research Center

As Fang Yuan began to arrange work, the hearts of these people jumped to their throats. For them, the most frightening thing was encountering a boss who wanted to interfere in everything.

Fortunately, this young boss, who would be their direct supervisor in the future, didn't demand how they should specifically execute things after deciding on the general direction.

This was still within their range of acceptance, at least much better than their previous situation.

Except for those two guys whose research direction was semiconductor physics, the others wouldn't receive much attention from the young boss for a while.

And as expected, these two guys were now the biggest "laborers" in the entire laboratory!

Strangely enough, even though they were exhausted every day, these two didn't complain at all; instead, they were full of energy.

The research and development progress of the lithography machine, with the help of these two researchers who seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, was faster than Fang Yuan had expected.

The two guys couldn't provide Fang Yuan with much help when it came to optical components, but they could still complete basic operations.

However, the dual-stage system and the silicon wafer transfer system were the areas these two excelled in.

Fang Yuan only needed to provide these two with the theoretical basis, and they actually completed these two parts of the work before Fang Yuan even finished the laser emission system.

For them, the dual-stage system was a relatively difficult part, but as long as they knew the principle behind it, no matter how difficult it was, these two had the confidence to make it.

As expected, now most of the core components of the lithography machine have been basically completed, leaving only some scattered odds and ends.

Sure enough, it's better to have helpers. If Fang Yuan had to do it alone, let alone less than a month, what if he was given another month?

He still wouldn't be able to complete it, right?

Even with the technical manual provided by the system, it wouldn't be easy for Fang Yuan to complete the entire lithography machine design, and it would even be extremely difficult.

The arrival of these two helpers greatly reduced Fang Yuan's pressure.

Judging from this, when the leaves outside turn green, Fang Yuan and the others should be able to complete the entire lithography machine's research and development.

As soon as the lithography machine is completed, Fang Yuan's carbon-based chip project can be put on the agenda.

Speaking of chips, the VR/AR chip that Fang Yuan handed over to Da Mi has now entered the tape-out stage. With the technical information provided by Fang Yuan, if these people still fail in the tape-out, it can only be said that Da Mi's investment in this direction can be declared a failure in advance.

At the same time, Da Mi's spring launch event was held as scheduled. Lei BuSi originally wanted to invite Fang Yuan to participate, but this kid didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't be contacted at all.

However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come to participate. Anyway, Fang Yuan has already handed over the entire augmented reality technology to Lei BuSi. The most core part can already be said to be unique to Da Mi.

The only way for others to use this technology is to obtain it through Da Mi.

That's right, Fang Yuan felt that this technology wasn't of much help to him. Under Lei BuSi's generous revenue-sharing conditions, Fang Yuan simply packaged and gave the Chenguang series technology to Lei BuSi.

Although the cost of this gift was a bit high, Lei BuSi was still very happy.

This was a great opportunity for Da Mi to show its strength to its peers. Coupled with the 100W fast charging technology that he had been promoting for a long time, Xiaomi was the absolute star of this spring launch event.

There was no need to worry about anyone stealing his thunder at all.

Even if someone wanted to steal his thunder, it would have to wait until the second half of the year, but Lei BuSi still had a trick up his sleeve for the second half of the year!

Moreover, according to that kid Fang Yuan's temperament, it was impossible for him not to cause trouble in these six months.

Da Mi's spring launch event this year announced that the battle in the domestic mobile phone market had entered a white-hot stage. At this crucial juncture, no mobile phone manufacturer dared to relax in the slightest.

Even Hua Chang was no exception. Don't look at the fact that they have their own communication business supporting them behind the scenes. If they are slightly careless in this war, they may also capsize in the gutter.

But judging from the current situation, only Hua Chang and Da Mi, this one and a half mobile phone manufacturers, are qualified to break through. Of course, Da Mi can only be regarded as half, and this is still the result of its long-term layout in the LOT field.

In addition, this spring launch event featured 100W wired fast charging, 45W wireless fast charging, and the VR/AR enhanced equipment provided by Fang Yuan.

This is what allowed Da Mi to begin to become one of the protagonists of this stage.

Okay, looking at Lei BuSi, who was in high spirits on the stage, the heads of the blue-green manufacturers were very envious. This guy had good luck this year and hitched a ride on the big ship of Jiuzhou.

It is said that Lei BuSi also signed a share acquisition agreement with that little guy from Jiuzhou. Although they don't know how much it is, even if it is only five percent, it is extremely tempting to them.

Now, which company in the entire industry dares to say that its potential is greater than Jiuzhou's?

Looking at the entire world, no one would dare to say that, at least no one dares to say that now.

Jiuzhou's three main product lines, the one with the worst potential may be the smart voice assistant qoqo.

But even the worst one made them very envious.

You didn't see that two years of development time has allowed qoqo to begin to trend towards true intelligence.

As long as users have used qoqo, no one will use other mentally handicapped voice assistants anymore.

Now, worldwide, the number of qoqo users has exceeded 400 million, which is unimaginable data for a smart voice assistant software.

Judging from Jiuzhou's newly built data center and server cluster center, we also know what level qoqo's strength has reached.

It is no exaggeration to say that, apart from Xiao Ai Tongxue (qoqo version), which also came from Jiuzhou, there is no one in the world that can compete.

No, there is still one that can compete, and that is the artificial intelligence that Fang Yuan completed during his time at MIT.

However, this artificial intelligence framework has just been released to developers, and it will take a long time to create a smart voice assistant that can rival qoqo.

Not to mention the now-popular Jiuzhou system, plus the S language, which has gradually entered the mainstream programming language, these two heaven-defying products.

Speaking of this, Fang Yuan couldn't believe his eyes when he got Jiuzhou's annual report.

What's going on? Is the Jiuzhou system already making so much money?

That's right, just the Jiuzhou system alone has brought Jiuzhou hundreds of billions in revenue. This is pure income. This is still on the premise that the Jiuzhou system is a pure system. If it provides other services, Fang Yuan can't imagine what level Jiuzhou's revenue can reach.

What surprised him even more was that the Jiuzhou system has begun to exert its strength on the PC side and wearable devices.

Especially on the PC side, the Jiuzhou system has now occupied some market share.

These market shares are all provided by Da Mi and Hua Chang.

If it weren't for Aiguo Xiang, this computer company that occupies a place in the world, directly rejecting cooperation with Jiuzhou, the Jiuzhou system would not be so difficult to walk on the PC side now.

This is the fourth year since Jiuzhou was established. As expected, Zhu Yong and Feng Yu each led a team this year and began to move forward at full speed in two different directions.

Liu Zhijun and Li Tianqi are sitting in the center, providing Jiuzhou with a stable rear area.

Fang Yuan, on the other hand, is using the research center to continuously transmit power to Jiuzhou.

As expected, not long after the Da Mi primary launch event ended, Fang Yuan called Liu Zhijun's office.

"Little boss? What's the matter?" Liu Zhijun knew very well that his little boss would not call him at all if there was nothing wrong.

"Hehe!" Fang Yuan was embarrassed by Liu Zhijun's words. "Can't I call Teacher Liu if there's nothing wrong?" Fang Yuan said stubbornly.

"Heh, who doesn't know who we are! Stop pretending, tell me quickly if you have anything to say, I still have other things to do, Jiuzhou is very busy now!" Liu Zhijun began to tease Fang Yuan, this kid has never managed the company properly for a day.

"Then I won't keep you in suspense, it's like this, Teacher Liu, hasn't our research center been officially put into use? Recently, we have researched a very important product, I don't know if our Jiuzhou can digest it!" Fang Yuan asked uncertainly.

"Oh? What kind of product is it that can make you, the little boss, personally open your mouth?" Liu Zhijun instantly became interested. He knew his little boss very well. He wouldn't make a move unless he had to, and once he did, he would bring people surprises.

"Have you heard of lithography machines?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Who hasn't heard of that?" Hearing this, Liu Zhijun's interest was reduced by more than half. "What? Did you get a lithography machine?" Liu Zhijun asked.

"It's not that I got a lithography machine, it's that I researched a lithography machine!"

"Oh? How's the precision? Dual-stage or single-stage?"

"It can reach 5nm precision, dual-stage!" Fang Yuan replied.

"What? 5nm precision?" Liu Zhijun felt that the little boss must be kidding him!

Even the most advanced lithography machine in H country has not reached this precision.

Now, the little boss told him that he had created a 5nm precision dual-stage lithography machine?

This is simply a joke!

It wasn't that Liu Zhijun didn't believe Fang Yuan; the importance of lithography machines to China's chip manufacturing industry was self-evident.

One could say that if it weren't for the obstruction of this small device, China's chip manufacturing industry might have already reached a world-class level.

It is this small device that has put China's chip manufacturing industry in an awkward position.

That's right, the two 7nm lithography machines that H country promised have not been officially delivered to this day.

Who knows what they're up to.

"Yes! It's 5nm precision, and the dual-stage principle is completely different from what H country uses, but it's a bit more advanced!" Fang Yuan said with certainty.

"Are you planning to let Jiuzhou handle this technology?" Liu Zhijun asked.

"It's not letting Jiuzhou handle it, but letting you and Director Li handle it. This technology only needs a few companies. What we can do is break through this final barrier for China's domestic chip manufacturing industry!"

"Okay! I'll discuss it with Director Li. It just so happens that senior leaders will be visiting Jiuzhou tomorrow, and I'll inform them about this matter then!"

After Liu Zhijun hung up the phone, he stared blankly at the ceiling.

As expected, the young boss can't stay idle. It hasn't been long, and he's already come up with such a big thing.

What's troubling is that it's fine if you cause trouble! Why do I have to clean up every time?

Liu Zhijun felt that he must have been targeted by the young boss. Fine, he couldn't let himself be the only one troubled by this matter, he had to share it with Li Tianqi quickly.

There's a saying that good things should be shared, otherwise, interesting things will become boring if hidden away.

The current situation is the same. Troublesome things should be shared, otherwise, it will be even more troublesome.

As expected, after hearing the news, Li Tianqi's head instantly grew bigger.

What the hell? The young boss actually did this without saying a word?

Can't he take a break for a few days? He just arrived at the research center and already created such a shocking thing. How is he supposed to live in the future?

"What should we do? Should we tell the person coming tomorrow about this news?" Liu Zhijun asked.

"Of course, we have to tell them! This matter is not something we can handle! Even for the sake of China's chip industry, this matter must be reported as soon as possible." If it weren't already so late, Li Tianqi would have wanted to throw this hot potato away immediately.

No matter how you look at it, lithography machines and Jiuzhou don't fit well together. It's not something Jiuzhou can handle right now!

Let's hand it over to those people above!

He and Liu Zhijun's small physiques can't withstand such devastation.

Fang Yuan still didn't know how much trouble his news had brought to Li Tianqi and Liu Zhijun.

Right now, he was celebrating with Zhao Gao and Wu Ji!

This could be considered a stage victory, so they had to celebrate.

The best way to celebrate was to give out bonuses. Not much, just 500,000 yuan per person, plus a newly opened property from Xinghai Technology.

That's right, this is Fang Hao's nature. Money is earned to be spent!

Under Fang Yuan's money offensive, Zhao Gao and Wu Ji were instantly stunned!

Who am I? Where am I? Why is so much money being thrown at me?

Even though the newly opened properties of Xinghai Real Estate are in Beihai, they are in the best plots of Beihai, river-view mansions, the smallest of which are 300 square meters or more.

The market price starts at 7 million.

This is simply inhumanely rich!

How long have I been here? And he's already giving me so many bonuses?

To be honest, these two have seen what a genius is in the research and development of lithography machines.

That's right, now it's all good, the genius in their eyes has become a rich genius, alas! People can't be compared, if they are compared, the two of them can't even be called people!

After Liu Zhijun and Li Tianqi discussed it in advance, they told the visiting leader that Fang Yuan had created a 5nm lithography machine.

This was a big deal. The leader didn't even bother to visit. After getting Fang Yuan's contact information, he hurried back to hold a meeting to discuss this matter.

That's right, after a day of discussion, these people decided to purchase lithography machines from Fang Yuan at market prices, as many as he had!
