Chapter 141 Restoring the Lithography Machine
Three whole days.
They only kept one lithography machine with only one part damaged, which is the one in front of them that has just successfully produced a chip.
To be precise, it's not that they only wanted to keep one unit.
Other lithography machines, however, have at least three points of damage, making them too time-consuming and labor-intensive to study.
Since only one part of the laser array was damaged, it's relatively easy to develop the corresponding replacement parts, and the probability of doing so in a short time is also higher.
Just as they thought.
Just figuring out the internal structure of these lithography machines has already taken them a lot of time, and each task is basically being carried out simultaneously.
Otherwise, there simply wouldn't be enough time.
Fortunately, their research over the past few days was ultimately successful.
With this lithography machine capable of producing 3-nanometer chips, it means that international chip blockades can no longer have a significant impact on Great Xia.
Previously, Great Xia was subject to the United States in many ways. Now, in addition to new energy, there is another technology that will allow Great Xia to be free from being controlled by others.
"It's a pity there's only one lithography machine."
Wei Wanjin couldn't help but sigh with some regret.
They haven't fully figured out the internal structure of this lithography machine yet, so there are still some difficulties in mass-producing chips of this level.
After all, only one lithography machine is available.
It is almost unrealistic to expect to manufacture enough chips to supply the entire country.
However, it's not without its advantages.
With this lithography machine, plus several other damaged ones, their research in this area can go even further.
the other side.
The beautiful country on the west coast.
Many analysts have been very vocal about Terpel's decision to raise tariffs on Great Xia.
Many analysts believe this is a high-risk gamble.
There are even many analysts who continue to express their opinions online.
"The Great Xia is currently rising rapidly, and it is unlikely that it can stifle the other side with chip tariffs."
"According to incomplete surveys, in the United States, Chinese goods account for almost half of the products sold there today."
"It's hard for us to imagine what Terpler is trying to do. Is he trying to raise tariffs to achieve the same result as Great Xia?"
"But he forgot one thing: Daxia's products account for the largest proportion of its exports to the US. Raising tariffs rashly could very well have the opposite effect!"
There is a wave of pessimism about the United States on the internet.
After all, the Great Xia of today is no longer what it used to be, and countless kinds of goods are exported to the United States.
This time, Teppler's rash imposition of tariffs is extremely likely to provoke dissatisfaction from the top leadership of Great Xia.
This led to an increase in tariffs on exported goods.
Ultimately, the people most affected are ordinary folks.
In the streets of different cities across the United States, many young white men have already staged joint protests.
We strongly urge Terpler to cancel the imposition of such high tariffs on Great Britain.
After all, tariffs had increased previously.
This is of no benefit to the United States whatsoever.
White House.
When Teppler saw the clamoring comments online, he was immediately filled with rage.
He slapped his palm hard.
"A bunch of stupid people!"
Terpler was furious. What was the point of all this?
Isn't it all just to solidify America's hegemonic position?
But these ignorant people actually dare to clamor online about the idea that things will turn around when they reach an extreme.
That's absolutely idiotic!
"Get those research giants to unite and drive the price of chips as high as possible!"
Terpler, his face contorted with rage, abruptly turned to his secretary beside him and spoke menacingly.
"I'd like to see how Great Xia will counter this kind of chip technology."
"Yes."
The secretary responded and spoke.
Teppler looked at the comments on the computer screen and immediately snorted coldly.
Today, the world's largest capital is in the hands of the United States.
This time, he wants to show the world who can truly remain the world's hegemon!
As Terpler's orders were quietly issued.
The US government and financial giants have been manipulating the situation overnight.
"The United States has achieved another breakthrough in chip technology! An AI boom is about to begin!"
"The value of EUV lithography machines will more than triple if they are not exported!"
"The AI boom is inevitable, and chip demand will skyrocket!"
These comments are constantly being published on forums, television, and even newspapers.
Because it originated from financial giants and the US government, many Americans believed it to be true.
In a short time.
Rumors abound.
"Buying it is a sure win."
"Buying semiconductors is worse than buying gold, what are you waiting for?"
For a time, the stock prices of American chip companies soared.
Looking at the ever-increasing green line on the computer screen, Teppler smiled with satisfaction.
That's more like it.
Teppler could almost picture the Great Xia companies being strangled by chips.
Even if their tariffs are high, the companies in the Great Xia Kingdom will still have to obediently import them.
Summer.
Zhuo Cen looked at the international stock markets, where prices were constantly rising.
He frowned.
Although he primarily manages the new energy sector, he also deals with traditional energy sources.
They are extremely clear about international trends.
The United States' imposition of high tariffs this time is definitely because Terpler thought he had Great Xia completely under his control.
After all, although Great Xia has been researching chip technology, the finished products it produces are still far behind those from the United States.
That is precisely why.
This has led to the Great Xia being subject to the control of others in many ways for so many years.
Think about it.
Zhuo Cen still frowned and dialed a number.
Inside the High-Tech Research Institute.
Xu Zheng was looking at his computer screen when Zhuo Cen called him.
The call was connected.
"Old Xu, have you seen it over there?"
"I saw it, what's wrong?"
Xu Zheng remained calm, as if he were saying something completely ordinary.
"What are your plans to do?"
Hearing the other party's calm tone, Zhuo Cen's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
Xu Zheng is a leader in the high-tech field of semiconductors, so he must be very clear about the mess that the US has made internationally.
"It's an emergency release."
Xu Zheng sighed. The research institute had already studied the lithography machines that Su Yang had brought back.
A machine was successfully repaired, and a three-nanometer chip was successfully etched.
Xu Zheng only learned of this news from the research institute not long ago, but he didn't expect to encounter the United States' troubles so soon.
After all, with only one lithography machine, it's unrealistic to expect to completely break through the US blockade with it.
unless.
They were able to develop multiple lithography machines in a short period of time, enabling them to counter the technological blockade imposed by the United States and its allies.
