Zhang Jinhong quickly introduced Lu Xuanxin: "This is Mr. Liu Yueyu, a chip technology expert from Tsinghua Unigroup. He is an authoritative figure in our group and was specially sent here to receive the lithography machine."
Just as Lu Xuanxin was about to introduce himself, Expert Liu spoke first: "I know you, Dr. Lu Xuanxin, a very famous young scholar in the world today."
Zhang Jinhong nodded, frowned slightly and asked Expert Liu: "Wait a minute, do you have any questions?"
Expert Liu said calmly: "I want to know the source of these three lithography machines."
He turned to Lu Xuanxin and asked, "As far as I know, these three lithography machines were produced by ASML. How did you get them?"
Lu Xuanxin replied: "Yes, they are indeed produced by ASML."
Expert Liu asked again: "Is it at the 14-nanometer level?"
Lu Xuanxin nodded: "Yes."
Expert Liu's eyes flashed with doubt, and he said, "Each of ASML's lithography machines is numbered and recorded, and is usually only sold to old customers. Unfamiliar customers or small purchasers will undergo strict review. How did you get these three lithography machines, and they are the most advanced 14-nanometer models? This model has just been launched, and even within ASML, it has only been sold to a few old customers."
Hearing this, Zhang Jinhong also showed a look of doubt and looked into Lu Xuanxin's eyes with a little hesitation.
Looking at the expression of expert Liu next to her, Lu Xuanxin smiled gently. Her eyes were as calm as a lake. She said calmly to expert Liu standing in front of her: "Regarding these questions, why don't we wait until we see the lithography machine with our own eyes before discussing it?"
After hearing this, Expert Liu sneered, stared at Lu Xuanxin sharply and said, "I remember that ASML had some incomplete lithography machines. I now strongly suspect that you bought those defective ones! These machines cannot produce chips at all and are usually sold at low prices. We at Tsinghua Unigroup once bought such machines at a price of 30 million US dollars each. So, I now seriously suspect that you are looking for an excuse to embezzle state property!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jinhong, who was standing nearby, stepped forward to smooth things over: "I believe Dr. Lu is not such a person. She would never do such a thing! Expert Liu, please stop talking!"
Lu Xuanxin narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She looked at Expert Liu calmly and said, "Whether it is a defective product or not, won't it be clear after we take a look?"
At first, Lu Xuanxin didn't care much about the inspection of the machine because she trusted Xiaozhi very much. But now that expert Liu said this, she took it seriously. She was a little unhappy. She was suspected of embezzling state property, which made her feel very disgusted.
Lu Xuanxin looked calm and looked at Expert Liu quietly. Expert Liu also felt a little guilty at this time. He was very sure that Lu Xuanxin bought a defective product at first. After all, ASML's control over the 14-nanometer lithography machine was very strict and it was almost impossible to get it. No matter what channel, this was the most advanced technology. How could it be easily obtained by others?
Moreover, the most important thing is, how were these lithography machines transported to the mainland? It is almost impossible to achieve this through conventional means. Expert Liu himself could not figure out how Lu Xuanxin purchased these lithography machines. If it was really so easy to get, Tsinghua Unigroup and SMIC would have already had them, but in fact, there are no 14-nanometer lithography machines in the entire Chinese mainland.
At least until next year, China will have a chance to get a 14-nanometer lithography machine. This is why expert Liu questioned Lu Xuanxin.
Zhang Jinhong stood aside and knew that what expert Liu said was not without reason. In fact, he was also worried that Lu Xuanxin had purchased a defective product. But he still came out to smooth things over: "It's okay! No matter what, classmate Lu Xuanxin did his best! Even if it is a defective 14-nanometer lithography machine, it has a high research value, and the money is worth it!"
Expert Liu did not speak. He knew that Zhang Jinhong was trying to smooth things over for him, so he would not jump out at this time. Lu Xuanxin was determined not to say anything before she saw the lithography machine. She was 100% sure that what she bought was a genuine 14-nanometer lithography machine! This was the confidence Xiaozhi gave her.
Zhang Jinhong looked at the two people around him awkwardly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. If he had known earlier, he should not have asked Liu Yueyu to come for the inspection. This technical expert graduated from Shuimu University and is also a big shot himself, only one step away from being an academician of the Academy of Engineering. Now the two of them are in this situation...
Thinking of this, Zhang Jinhong's eyes flashed with helplessness. There was no other way, now he could only wait until he saw the lithography machine.
Afterwards, the car drove to the airport, and a plane that had been prepared in advance carried Zhang Jinhong and his party to Sanya Airport.
Lu Xuanxin brought Zhang Jinhong and his party to Sanya Airport. The people who had been waiting for them at the airport came to greet them immediately and quickly took them to the Sanya pier.
As soon as he arrived at the dock, Zhang Jinhong seemed a little excited. He couldn't wait to ask Lu Xuanxin: "Where is the container now?"
Lu Xuanxin smiled slightly, looked around for a while, then walked to the computer next to the container management and skillfully entered a string of passwords. Soon, the location of the container where the lithography machine was located appeared on the computer screen.
She led everyone to find the container and quickly opened it. As the container was opened, three brand-new lithography machines appeared in front of everyone. These three lithography machines were extremely large and had the ASML logo printed on them.
Seeing these three photolithography machines, Liu Yueyu's pupils shrank slightly, and a puzzled look appeared in his eyes. He thought: Did Lu Xuanxin really buy these photolithography machines?
He carefully observed the appearance of these lithography machines and found that they were all very new, without any signs of defect. He had seen some defective products before, but these lithography machines were obviously different. They were not only new, but also very finely made.
Zhang Jinhong was excited when he saw the three lithography machines. He turned to Liu and said, "Mr. Wang, what do you think?"
Expert Liu seemed a little hesitant at this time. He shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure. I have to try it to know."
Zhang Jinhong became even more excited after hearing what Liu said. He immediately arranged for someone to bring a trailer to pull the three lithography machines out of the container.
Soon, the lithography machines were sent to a nearby factory, where dozens of technical workers began to inspect the lithography machines under the command of expert Liu. They were all very professional and completed the inspection quickly.
Although Lu Xuanxin's knowledge of engineering was not in-depth, she had a perfect engineering experience rewarded by the system. After the lithography machine was debugged, she personally carried out the first wave of test production.
The test results were so good that it was unbelievable! When Liu saw the pre-production lithography sheets, he was also incredulous. With his many years of experience in the chip industry, he determined that these lithography machines were undoubtedly 14 nanometers, and their performance was very smooth without any problems.
He couldn't help but walk up to Lu Xuanxin, and his attitude was much lower. He asked, "Dr. Lu, how did you buy these lithography machines? Not only are they not defective, but they are also made with such perfect workmanship."
Lu Xuanxin smiled slightly. She knew that Expert Liu was asking for advice humbly. But she did not answer his question directly. Instead, she said, "Well... keep it secret!"
After that, she walked to Zhang Jinhong and said with a smile: "Boss Zhang Jinhong, after purchasing the lithography machine this time, there is still 1100 million US dollars left. Which account should I deposit this money into?"
After hearing what Lu Xuanxin said, both Expert Liu and Zhang Jinhong showed an expression of disbelief. Expert Liu said, "How is this possible? Even if ASML's old customers buy these lithography machines, it will cost 1100 million US dollars each. You bought three machines, how could you still have million US dollars left?"
Lu Xuanxin shrugged and said, "Well... I don't know either. But this is the fact."
Zhang Jinhong looked at Lu Xuanxin and said, "Since there are still 1100 million US dollars left, I will give it to you and the person who provided this channel as a reward! After all, it is almost impossible to buy three such advanced lithography machines at such a price. Since you can do this, you must have used a lot of connections and resources, and this money is within the budget."
After hearing what Zhang Jinhong said, Lu Xuanxin was about to say something, but Zhang Jinhong had already smiled and said to her: "Don't worry, this money will also be included in the report. To be able to buy three such advanced lithography machines, let alone 1100 million US dollars, even if the price is ten times, China is willing to pay!"
Lu Xuanxin nodded and said, "Thank you very much." Since Zhang Jinhong had said this, it would be hypocritical for her to refuse. In this case, she accepted the money with peace of mind.
Boss Zhang Jinhong looked at Lu Xuanxin with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"You got three cutting-edge lithography machines this time. What reward do you want?" he asked her with a smile.
Lu Xuanxin was stunned for a moment, a gleam of thought flashed in his eyes, "Reward?"
"It's okay, you can take your time to think about it and tell me anytime when you come up with something." Boss Zhang Jinhong said with a smile.
"Okay!" Lu Xuanxin nodded.
They did not return to Yanjing immediately because the officials in Sanya had already prepared a room for them. As soon as Zhang Jinhong arrived in Sanya, he contacted the local officials, and the news spread quickly.
Entering Sanya’s room, Lu Xuanxin looked at the scenery outside the window and felt a little emotional.
She took out a USB drive from her pocket and plugged it into the computer next to her. Soon, a large amount of data appeared in front of her like a waterfall.
These data are about the drawings and technology of the curvature engine. Lu Xuanxin believes that as long as she follows these data, she can make a curvature engine. However, when she saw the required materials and energy, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even the most basic energy drive requires controlled nuclear fusion technology. The materials needed to manufacture the curvature engine cannot be produced with current technology.
Lu Xuanxin sighed softly and reluctantly closed the data. To be honest, she was very interested in the curvature engine, but the practical technical limitations forced her to give up.
It suddenly occurred to her that if she could get those materials first, there might be a glimmer of hope. However, it was not easy to obtain these materials, and it required a lot of money and time.
At this moment, she remembered the broken battery in the system. For various reasons, she had never had the opportunity to study it before. But now it was different, she had the time and place.
The battery given by the system is definitely not ordinary garbage, perhaps it is an extraordinary high-tech lithium battery. If you can develop a battery that surpasses the current level of technology, you will definitely be able to gain huge wealth!
A glimmer flashed in Lu Xuanxin's eyes, but it soon dimmed. Now she was in the hotel, and there was no point in taking out the battery to study it.
She lay in bed and began to plan the next scientific research task. The current artificial intelligence laboratory has been planned, and she only needs to conduct experiments according to her plan.
This laboratory and subsequent simplified artificial intelligence projects can proceed steadily and be completed on their own even without her intervention.
Maybe, it's time to open a new lab!
The new lab will focus on studying the broken battery. The research value of this battery is so high that it is worth opening a new lab to study it.
Although Lu Xuanxin has not yet disassembled the battery, he can already feel from its appearance and structure that it has surpassed the current level of technology. However, if he does not disassemble it, he will not be able to gain a deep understanding of its internal technological content.
