Looking at the chip in the camera, which is less than the size of a fingernail, a sense of pride and pride surges in everyone's heart!

At this time, several foreign experts walked out of the testing area. After encapsulation, they also participated in testing.

Foreign reporters rushed forward and asked: "Professor Akai, what are the results of the chip test?"

"Mr. Hoyle, is what He Xingzhou said true or false?"

Reporters noticed that the expressions on the faces of these professors and scholars were not good-looking.

Among them, Royle, an expert in the semiconductor field, said in a difficult tone: "After testing, it is indeed a three-nanometer chip with good performance."

Other foreign scholars also fell silent, and no one expressed objection. You know, at first, many of them expressed doubts!

When they heard the news, the foreign reporters were dumbfounded! They had received instructions before that if there was any problem with this chip, they would magnify it a hundred times and report it!

But now, they didn't find a problem!

A reporter from Kangaroo Country refused to give up and asked: "Are the chips you are testing really Loongson chips? Is it possible that they are other chips?"

He was asking a leading question, but a Chinese reporter at the scene said to him disdainfully: "Currently, we are the only one in the world that can produce chips made with a three-nanometer process. Whose chip do you think it will be?"

"Ah...this?" The reporter from Kangaroo Country was stunned, as if this was the case.

Immediately afterwards, these foreign reporters collectively fell silent, and some even cut off live broadcasts and photography. They are not going to report this matter to the country!

The Chinese reporters at the scene were collectively excited and reported wildly: "Our country has developed the world's most advanced extreme ultraviolet lithography machine and produced the world's first three-nanometer process chip!"

"Hello everyone, I am a reporter from the Phoenix News. I am currently at He Xingzhou's press conference in Shanghai. We have just learned some exciting news..."

"The world's first three-nanometer high-end chip was born, and our country broke the world chip blockade!"

"Loongson is born! Vigorous News is broadcasting live for you..."

At the scene, the invited entrepreneurs cheered when they saw the chip in He Xingzhou's hand.

Xiao Dong and Tian Jun hugged each other. The two old men shouted like teenagers: "We have our own high-end chip, great!"

At this time, they had forgotten that at the press conference not long ago, the two of them were arguing in the air.

Li Kongming hugged Fu Yuquan, one of the leaders of the research team, and said excitedly: "Old Fu, sending you out this time is the wisest choice I have ever made in Huaxin Group!"

"It's all worth it!"

There are also the researchers involved in R&D, who come from all over the world, from various units, enterprises, and research institutes. At this moment, they are all cheering!

Some people looked up to the sky and screamed. The suffocation they had held for decades was finally released today!

In front of the TV and the Internet, people are also celebrating.

"Qinghua University sent a congratulatory message!"

"Jingcheng University sent a congratulatory message!"

"Shancheng Vocational and Technical College sent a congratulatory message!"

"I want to say something, He Xingzhou YYDS!"

"You are so great, thank you!"

"Hahaha, I can finally use domestic high-end smart electronic products. @华伟, @大米, @biati... all made for me!"

"I'm so happy today. I shout 'Loongxin' and get a hundred red envelopes for everyone!"

The live broadcast room was instantly filled with barrages of "Loongson Niucha", but the so-called Brother Long was nowhere to be found.

He Xingzhou was still holding the "dragon core". Wherever he went, there were cheers and applause.

Seeing this scene, all members of the EUV Alliance felt as if they had eaten shit, and their uncomfortable expressions were visible to the naked eye.

"Is the verification true?" a semiconductor manufacturer asked reluctantly.

The representative of Intel said solemnly: "Among the experts sent to verify, there are people from us. It is true."

"How could this happen?" Heimer, the representative of ASML, was going crazy. "How did they do it? Why were they able to build a new generation of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines before us?"

In the past, ASML was the only company in the world that could manufacture extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, but from now on, it is no longer the case!

And the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine manufactured by He Xingzhou is even more advanced than theirs!

His proud sense of superiority was completely shattered! I even started to doubt life!

"Gentlemen, our blockade has failed!" said a representative of IBM. "The highest flag of the world's semiconductor and chip industries is now being raised in the East!"

"All our members will be affected!" AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom, etc., these international giants are agitated and begin to think about the future.

President Foster's eyes went straight, and he didn't know what to say.

At this time, a phone call came in. It was from Commander Bai Ying. He cursed: "Foster, look at your achievements. The East has made lithography machines and chips!"

"We are about to suffer heavy losses! We are not forcing them to make concessions now, but they will show off their power to us later!"

"You have to bear the responsibility that you can't shirk!"

"Commander...me!" Foster wanted to explain, but Commander Baiying hung up the phone directly.

Foster only felt that his heart was filled with panic.

But the impact of Loongson’s breakthrough has just begun.

The representative of Qualcomm could no longer sit still. He loudly said: "Since we have failed to block the blockade, what is the point of discussing here?"

"Soon, they will produce all kinds of high-end chips! Before, these were our markets, and our company lost tens of billions of dollars in revenue every year because of this!"

A representative of Intel also said: "Yes, our high-end chips should be opened to the Eastern market! Otherwise we will dig our own grave!"

"By the time Godson takes over the market, it will be too late!"

"I agree, this agreement is completely unscientific!" Representatives from AMD, IBM, Nvidia and other companies shouted.

More and more representatives protested, saying: "The agreement must be revised, we cannot face such losses!"

Even ASML’s Heimer said: “We demand the sale of photolithography machines to the East!”

Foster stammered: "Big... don't be impulsive, we can still discuss new plans."

"What a bullshit new plan, if it doesn't work we will launch the EUV alliance!" a Qualcomm representative shouted.

"This EUV alliance can only harm our interests, so don't wait!" Upon hearing this, others followed suit.

"You...you guys!" Thinking of the terrible consequences, Foster couldn't catch his breath and passed out directly in the video conference.

The representatives all saw this scene, but no one cared. Even if this old man dies, he will not do anything to them. They only want to consider their own interests now!

"The EUV Alliance is dead in name only! It's better to disband on the spot!" someone whispered.



The whole of China is celebrating the breakthrough of "Loongson"'s extreme ultraviolet lithography machine and chip.

At the gate of He Xingzhou's hometown community, the place was blocked by cars from the leaders and from the community. Someone put up a banner to celebrate.

Beijing University of Science and Technology specially pulled out a red banner on the campus and wrote: "We would like to congratulate our student He Xingzhou and his team for jointly conquering extreme ultraviolet lithography technology!"

"He Xingzhou is going to go down in history!" Seeing this scene, the teachers were a little envious and proud. The school committee has just passed a decision to erect a statue of He Xingzhou in the school!

You know, even the big guys who are elected as academicians of the Academy of Sciences will definitely get such an honor!

The students were even more upset. Some people went directly to the dormitory where He Xingzhou once stayed to check in:

"The God of Study bless me and let me not fail this year!"

"I'm here to visit. Is this the dormitory where Senior He Xingzhou once stayed?"

"To tell you the truth, He Xingzhou and I are roommates! We have a close relationship!" Feng Tao was bragging to a group of juniors, attracting envy and admiration from the juniors.

"Senior, could you please add your contact information? I have a question!"



In the Windmill Country, a trade organization conference was held.

Today, Bai Ying, Sakura, Hans, John, etc. are collectively silent!

Just yesterday, they were aggressive, demanding that Shenlong fully liberalize the financial market and amend various laws. However, now, these people are pretending to be mute and saying nothing.

Seeing this, Shenlong said: "There is news that everyone must know."

His tone was extremely proud, "Just today, our country has broken through the world's most advanced extreme ultraviolet lithography technology and manufactured a three-nanometer chip."

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Shenlong's younger brothers sent congratulations, but others were still pretending to be dumb.

"So!" Shenlong said, "In terms of semiconductors, chips and related industries, I suggest that we work together for win-win results and not engage in cliques. In addition, I hope everyone can be friendly to us in the East and treat those of you Change all the illegal regulations!”

"I advise everyone to be more conscious."

Everyone was feeling aggrieved. Shenlong meant, if you don't realize it, I will help you realize it.

But now they are inferior in skills and have no right to refute.

They all looked at Bai Ying, now they couldn't withstand the pressure.

Bai Ying coughed twice and said, "We will discuss this later."

He also knew in his heart that cracks had appeared in the comprehensive cooperation partners.

Shenlong continued: "Although today we are discussing trade issues, I have to raise one thing."

"In the field of life science and technology, we should also pay attention and cooperate. I am not an alarmist, the problems of marine pollution and mutated organisms have reached the point of being out of control!"

"Within a few years, it will affect our lives and safety!"

Bai Ying spoke directly: "Today is not an environmental protection conference, and we will not discuss this issue!"

Seeing this, Shenlong knew that they were unwilling to mention this issue, so he had no choice but to give up.

The trade conference ended "successfully", of course, it was a happy ending for Shenlong, and he gained many benefits.

As for Bai Ying and others, they all regretted participating in this conference.

In China, news of chip breakthroughs has fully encouraged the market. All listed companies related to domestic semiconductors, upstream and downstream, smart products, and electronic technology are seeing higher stock prices.

Seeing this, foreign capital also invested money one after another.

Loongson’s team announced that it will quickly replicate Loongson’s extreme ultraviolet lithography machine and expand production capacity as quickly as possible!

Huawei, Huaxin Group, etc. also announced that they have ordered Loongson chips and will open up the high-end product market!

It can be said that the breakthrough of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines has greatly increased China's national power, and there are fewer and fewer means for foreign countries to restrict it!



He Xingzhou took a rare few days of rest, and he was also very tired these days.

He originally wanted to go out for a walk, but now that he is a celebrity, he will attract attention wherever he goes, and even directly cause congestion on the streets.

There are also various official units, enterprises, research institutes, and universities that invite him to attend events or give speeches, but he directly rejects them all!

In desperation, He Xingzhou could only choose to squat at home and rest for a few days.

"Brother, now they are all guessing, I am your relative!" During the video call, He Mengyao was sitting in the dormitory, wearing a cute cartoon T-shirt, introducing to He Xingzhou.

There was no one in her dormitory at this time. Otherwise, if someone saw her video chatting with He Xingzhou, He Mengyao's dormitory would be jammed with fans who came here that day!

"You'd better keep quiet!" He Xingzhou said, "Otherwise, you won't be able to finish college quietly."

"Yeah!" He Mengyao laughed, "When they find out later, they will be shocked!"

"By the way, when my roommate was watching your live broadcast, he said that he would be your wife! Brother, do you want me to introduce you to my roommate? There are also beautiful girls among my classmates!"

"How can Mr. He have time!" This was Xu Zhilan's voice. She was also in He Xingzhou's residence. This was the responsibility of his personal secretary and bodyguard.

"Hehe, I forgot, there is also Sister Zhilan who is thinking about my brother!" He Mengyao laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Zhilan blushed and spat softly.

He Xingzhou glanced at Xu Zhilan, who was wearing loose home clothes, sitting on the sofa with her long legs crossed, her eyes pretending to be working, but in fact she always glanced at him secretly.

"Does she already like me?" He Xingzhou thought to himself. As the saying goes, love grows with time, not to mention that he is surrounded by a beautiful woman with outstanding abilities and appearance.

"Brother, Sister Zhilan is so beautiful, why don't you hurry up and get started!" He Mengyao was still fanning the flames, "Isn't this the daughter-in-law the country has given you?"

"Eh? What you said makes sense!" He Xingzhou laughed.

Xu Zhilan didn't speak, pretending not to hear, but she felt a little happy in her heart.

The two were joking when Xu Zhilan suddenly sat upright, frowned slightly, and whispered: "Mr. He, something happened."

Seeing how serious she was, He Xingzhou knew it was no small matter.

He then said to He Mengyao: "It's time to work, let's talk next time."

"Yeah." He Mengyao obediently turned off the call.

He Xingzhou looked at Xu Zhilan and asked, "What happened?"

"It's news from the ocean monitoring station!" Xu Zhilan handed the smart glasses to He Xingzhou, and the video data was directly transmitted to his lenses.

(The extra money is over, so I made a decision that went against my own. I changed the monthly ticket to 200 monthly tickets and got an extra update. Go, go, go!)
