As their understanding and awareness deepened, the shock in their hearts grew stronger! Every aspect of the Heavenly Craftsmanship7nmLithography Machine is a genius conception, intricately linked, perfect to the point of being a flawless work of art!
It is hard to imagine how Ji Yuan completed this design at the age of 20, a design capable of changing the world map.
"Chief Engineer, I have a question." Someone raised their hand.
If they had any doubts about Ji Yuan at the beginning, now all that remained was deep admiration.
Ji Yuan gestured for the person to speak.
When interacting with these 'simple-minded' individuals, as long as your technical skills can earn their recognition, you will become close confidants who can talk about anything, establishing a relationship akin to that of teacher and friend.
On the contrary, if you are just a show without real ability, no matter how skilled you are at putting on a performance, you will not gain their genuine support.
In short, if you can do it, you can; if you can't, you can't. Ambiguity is the biggest taboo in scientific research.
"Although the structural components of our Lithography Machine have been confirmed as feasible, the material strength required during the process far exceeds international standards. This new type of Alloy Material is something even our military cannot resolve."
At this point, his meaning was very clear as he furrowed his brow and asked, "Do we have an alternative solution?"
"Or rather..."
Everyone became anxious.
After overcoming the challenges of the entire chip industry technology, it would be a pity to get stuck at this stage. If the hard-earned 7nm-level Lithography Machine technology were to be left unused, by the time it is restarted years later, the international standard might have already shifted to mainstream 5nm or even 3nm-level Lithography Machines.
One generation falls behind, and successive generations continue to lag; the strong remain strong while the weak grow weaker. If we rely on self-developed materials that meet the standards, who knows when we will see results? No one can guarantee that.
The domestic Materials Science field has also made strides, but not much earlier than the chip industry. There have indeed been some results, but they have always been minor achievements. Developing materials that meet the standards is extremely difficult.
Ji Yuan pressed his lips together, glanced around, and said with a faint smile, "Unfortunately, this is the only feasible plan and also the best option available."
Seeing everyone's spirits gradually decline, Ji Yuan's smile grew wider. "Therefore, after the training ends, I will need everyone's strong support to help me complete the development of this new material."
A stir arose among the crowd. Some people's eyes lit up, while others reignited their fighting spirit.
Having overcome numerous challenges, could they really hesitate at this final hurdle?
Wasn't the entire field of Chip Engineering almost blank before? But now, the cutting-edge technologies involved are almost fully revealed, standing before everyone like a beautiful woman without a single secret left.
Especially for experts engaged in Materials Science research, they are trembling with excitement! The difficulty of this project is very high, but it is precisely because of this high difficulty that it is more challenging! Scientific research is like climbing; step by step, as you ascend, when you reach the top, you can enjoy the wonderful scenery of "seeing all the mountains as small."
"Hahaha, Mr.Hu, aren't you in Materials Science? Go show your determination to the Chief Engineer!"
"Lao Yang, this time don't back down; grab your gear and get to work like a real man!"
"Forget you!"
Everyone laughed and teased each other, and the heaviness in their hearts instantly dissipated.
At this point, what is there to hesitate or retreat from?! Whether they succeed and make a name for themselves in history or not, they will remain as unknown as they are now; how bad can it get?
Ji Yuan saw that everyone was discussing enthusiastically and clapped his notebook. "Alright, those who want to participate in this project, come over and sign up."
In an instant, everyone stopped discussing and surged forward together, with no one making any excuses to opt out.
To Ji Yuan's surprise, the first person to sign up was the young officer who had openly challenged him during the training class.
"I’m the first to sign up!"
Seeing Ji Yuan look at him, the young officer bit his lip and explained, "At that time, I just didn’t agree with you; I didn’t mean to disrupt the order of the training class. Besides, I’m just a bit proud by nature, but I’m not a bad person! Moreover, I come from a family in the Military Industry; my family has been researching Materials Science and Engineering since my grandfather’s generation."
Others also spoke up in defense of the young officer, saying that although he had a difficult personality, he could not be considered bad.
Ji Yuan was taken aback for a moment and extended his hand to shake with him. "Welcome!"
Afterward, he smiled at the others and said, "Let’s not misunderstand one thing: if you all want to participate in this project, everyone is welcome; there will be no additional barriers."
He then raised his hand and patted the young officer on the shoulder. "You said earlier that you didn’t agree with me; what about now?"
The young officer clenched his teeth and replied, "I do now!"
