CHAPTER 1823: CHAPTER 955: THE CHAMPION IS BORN!

Mist City Arts and Science University.

At the research base center, inside the photolithography machine research project building.

Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, Luo Peng, and Su Beilin, among others, are tirelessly working day and night in this building. The breakthrough of 3 nanometer chip technology process photolithography machine and its supporting industry technology has become the biggest challenge they now face.

Of course.

Tong Yihang and Luo Peng have already overcome many challenges, but there is still some time before the birth of the 3 nanometer process photolithography machine.

In fact, Tong Yihang and the others understand that this year, they must develop the 3 nanometer chip process photolithography machine; otherwise, by next year, foreign competitors might either catch up or start mass production of 3 nanometer chips ahead of them. Strategically, they would already have lost by then.

Just as Principal Ding had told them, if they cannot overtake foreign competitors at this 3 nanometer chip stage, they would have to wait until the 2 nanometer or 1 nanometer chip stages.

By that time, it would be a few years late, many industries and technology development plans would lag behind those of overseas countries, leading to a squeeze on many products and technologies.

For example, after Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group mastered advanced battery technology, even overseas giants like Tesla in the new energy electric vehicle industry found it difficult to compete.

In fact, Tesla is already prepared to abandon the new energy electric vehicle industry entirely, shifting its focus to devoting all efforts to space exploration technology related technologies, as well as space travel and Mars development.

This is the immense advantage brought by leading in scientific and technological advancements.

Now that the curtain is about to rise on the Metaverse, every technologically advanced country in the world wants to dominate in this area. For example, multiple tech companies in America, European tech companies, and even companies in Japan and Korea all want a share of the huge future market of the Metaverse.

Among the domestic tech companies, enterprises like Penguin or Arlibaba cannot be relied upon.

It depends on Feiyue Technology.

For Feiyue Group’s Feiyue Technology to dominate the Metaverse market, the 3 nanometer chip research at Mist City Arts and Science University must speed up.

Therefore, the pressure falls directly on the scientists like Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei.

While Tong Yihang and the others are busy overcoming chip challenges, they are also paying attention to the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest being held in Dublin, Ireland, as it is closely related to the 3 nanometer chip.

Of course, Tong Yihang and the others discuss this topic during their breaks.

In the building’s lounge.

After coming down from the front line of laboratory research, Tong Yihang poured himself a cup of hot water.

Having battled on the research front for nine consecutive hours, Tong Yihang needed to take a good rest; otherwise, his brain might stop functioning, which would only affect his chip research.

"Brother Hang."

At this time, Liu Tiefei also came out of the lab.

"How’s it going? Is the B102 technical problem solved?"

Seeing his good friend Liu Tiefei, Tong Yihang asked.

Both of them were among the first batch of top talents in the field of precision mechanical processing at Mist City Arts and Science University. They became famous together and now join hands in fighting in the 3 nanometer chip field.

They have agreed.

In the future, whether it’s on 2 nanometer or 1 nanometer, or even higher specification chips, they will conquer difficulties together on this chip front, unless for special reasons, they will basically remain inseparable.

"Almost, a few more data points need to be collected. Once the data comes out, the B102 technical problem can be solved."

Liu Tiefei nodded in response, also pouring himself a cup of hot water.

The B102 technical problem is a tougher challenge in the field of photolithography precision mechanical processing, with letters as codes. A is the highest level of difficulties, relatively fewer in number.

B represents the relatively difficult challenges, more numerous, and most precision mechanical processing challenges to be solved are level B problems. Solving many level B problems can lay the foundation for solving level A problems.

"That’s great, after solving the 102 problem, we should be able to tackle the A7 problem."

Tong Yihang nodded and then asked, "Have you been following the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest these past few days, Fei?"

"Of course I have."

Liu Tiefei smiled and said, "This First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest is closely related to our research and development of 3 nanometer chips. Without 3 nanometer chips, the Metaverse would be all talk and no substance. Principal Ding already told us this before."

"Indeed."

Tong Yihang agreed wholeheartedly with Liu Tiefei: "Currently, it seems that all major global tech companies, research laboratories, and both Europe and America are vigorously developing the Metaverse. If Europe and America collaborate, I think they could achieve the 3 nanometer chip within a year or two."
