The applause gradually stopped, and all eyes were on the old man on the main podium.
"Hello everyone, I am Liu Zhongmin, president of the Academy of Dragon Science. I would like to take up your precious time today to hold the first press conference of the Academy of Dragon Science this year..."
A very standard and fluent set of opening remarks started the press conference.
Everyone at the scene looked at Liu Zhongmin intently, expecting him to tell some explosive news.
But the strange thing is that the dean of the Academy of Dragon Science did not say anything specific about today's matters, but just exchanged polite greetings.
Finally, under everyone's shocked eyes, he smiled and said:
"Actually, I'm not the protagonist today. Old man, my role is just to inspire others!"
"Next, I will introduce an important figure who has just recently joined the Dragon Academy of Sciences. At the same time, he will lead us to form a new scientific research team to carry out real challenges against this so-called technological blockade in the United States!"
"I would like to invite Xu Zhou, chief engineer of the research and development of the latest low-nanometer lithography machine project of Long Guolong Academy of Sciences!"
After saying this, everyone was in an uproar.
Not because of Xu Zhou, but because of the project Liu Zhongmin mentioned, the low-nanometer lithography machine project!
All the media people were so shocked at this moment that they even forgot about the record of the manuscript.
They were all questioning whether they heard it correctly!
Lithography? Or a low-nanometer lithography machine!
As we all know, the internationally recognized low-nanometer lithography machine generally refers to 7 nanometers.
But now that Longke Academy dares to say this, it is equivalent to openly saying that it is developing lithography machines below 7 nanometers!
Just before everyone recovered, a tall and slim man in a suit walked up.
Everyone subconsciously applauded and looked at the approaching figure. Then they were dumbfounded, and the expressions on everyone's faces were stunned.
Etc., etc!
Chief engineer of the lithography machine project? !
Academician of Long Academy of Sciences? !
Are these identities related to the one who is coming up?
The owner of this childish face was standing on the main stage with a smile, while Liu Zhongmin stood aside with a smile to assist.
To say that this is a graduate student is almost enough!
When did it become so easy to become an academician?
"No, what's the point? Are you an academician at such a young age?"
"I don't know. The Dragon Academy has always been very rigorous. There won't be any backdoors, right?"
"You're stupid. Even if you go through the back door, you wouldn't be so public. Isn't it obvious that you're not afraid of our investigation?"
"Don't tell me, I really found Xu Zhou."
"I also searched and found it. Graduated from 985 University. The conditions are average..."
"No, take a look, there seems to be some bad news!"
"Uh... don't worry about that for now, just listen to what he has to say."
The reporters whispered for a while, and everyone's doubts were almost written on their faces.
At this time, Xu Zhou looked at the audience, saw everyone's expressions, and made a joke at the right time.
"Don't worry, everyone, I didn't go through the back door. Even though I look less than thirty, in fact..."
"Actually, I'm only twenty-seven years old."
After saying this, some reporters in the audience laughed. Aren't these two sentences nonsense.
"Just kidding, hello everyone, this is the first time we meet. I am the chief engineer of the latest low-nanometer lithography machine research and development project of Longke Academy. My name is Xu Zhou!"
"Next, on behalf of Longke Academy, I will solemnly announce that my country's first low-nanometer lithography machine officially entered the manufacturing stage yesterday!"
"As the first lithography machine to be manufactured entirely by a domestic company, its name is 'Pojun'!"
"Some data and details will be announced appropriately at the end of the press conference. Now, as the chief engineer of the project, I have something to say to everyone."
Having said this, Xu Zhou adjusted his mood and continued slowly:
"Everyone who is living in this era should understand that this is an information age, and as a member of the scientific research army, I want to tell you."
"This century belongs to the era of information technology revolution."
"Compared with the first and second industrial revolutions, this technological revolution will undergo a third reshuffle. The winners will continue to compete on the world's poker table, and the losers will be trapped in endless pursuit and competition. Being suppressed!"
"How important is the information technology revolution? In fact, many people have not paid attention to this. Imagine that everything from our mobile phones, computers, electronic watches, to aircraft, high-speed rail, missiles, etc., all need information technology to support them. "
“To put it simply, these have unknowingly become an indispensable part of our lives as the times progress!”
"The core of information technology is simply two words! Chip!"
"Without chips, our modern life will be paralyzed, and all related equipment will not be able to produce updates."
“Even the network where we now broadcast live conferences, etc., are inseparable from chip technology.”
"But unfortunately, since the official start of the information revolution, the core of chip technology has been controlled by some Western countries."
At this point, Xu Zhou's expression was a little disappointed and unwilling, and this emotion immediately infected everyone present.
Everyone seemed to feel like a big mountain was pressing on them, making them feel out of breath.
"This also leads to the fact that once a certain technology is grasped, we have to surrender, compromise, or even pray!"
"And we, from the time we fell behind, have been living in a mediocre way in exchange for a short chance to breathe."
"Some companies, because of survival issues, have to kneel down to survive, and even betray their original intentions, just to get a chance!"
"And as the Dragon Academy of Dragon Science, we are always looking for ways to make breakthroughs!"
"Before this press conference, I saw a lot of comments online. Some were questioning, some were insulting, and some were encouraging."
"But I want to tell you that the scientific researchers of the Dragon Kingdom never stop fighting! They are in places you can't see. They may be dark laboratories or test sites with extremely harsh environments!"
"They have no time to spend with their families and no chance to enjoy the sweetness of love. They are sacrificing their health and the life they should enjoy!"
"They are racing against time and working hard all the time! Everyone is looking for an answer: How to break the so-called technical barriers? How to catch up with the backward gap formed in the past few decades!"
"And now, we have taken the first step! It is also the best answer we have so far!"
"That is our own low-nanometer photolithography machine made entirely by ourselves in the Dragon Kingdom! Pojun!"
"This answer may not be the best, but it is definitely the answer with the best chance at the moment!"
"I know there will still be a lot of doubts and ridicule before 'Po Jun' officially appears in front of everyone, but it doesn't matter."
"I hope everyone will give us one last moment."
"We will use Po Jun, the sharp blade of the times, to cut through the night and create a dawn belonging to the Dragon Kingdom!"
"We insist that from now on, Longguo's chip field will not rely on imports from any one country!"
"We hope that from now on, there will be no more technological hegemony in this land of Dragon Kingdom!"
"This concludes my speech, thank you all!"
Xu Zhou bowed deeply to everyone.
There was a silence that lasted for tens of seconds, and then a burst of thunderous applause echoed throughout the press conference!
The staff of Longke Academy behind the scenes also had tears in their eyes at this moment.
I kept shouting in my heart, Xu Zhou is awesome! !
