CHAPTER 1912: CHAPTER 998: A NEW ERA IS COMING (PART 2)

However.

At this moment, Ding Yue couldn’t afford to think so much, after all, he was still hosting the release conference.

"That’s right, the 3-nanometer process lithography machine, our Mist City Arts and Science University has already mastered its core technology and manufactured the first 3-nanometer process lithography machine, and it has been successfully tested!"

Ding Yue stood on the stage, calmly introducing.

"Do you know what a 3-nanometer chip means?"

In the live broadcast of the release conference, Ding Yue posed this question.

Then.

Ding Yue answered his own question.

"It represents——the future."

"Chips have become an indispensable part of our daily lives and technological development. With the 3-nanometer chips, we can elevate many technological industries to a whole new level."

Ding Yue walked back and forth on the stage while saying: "Using 3-nanometer chips, we can look up at the vast starry sky, fields like aerospace and space exploration cannot do without chips. We can also step into the virtual realm to experience the wonders of the virtual world; virtual technology, Metaverse, also rely on chips. The 3-nanometer chip will be able to carry all of the above. I can responsibly tell everyone, 3-nanometer chips, will lead us to a new era."

Ding Yue’s words vividly described the future potential of 3-nanometer chips.

From the boundless universe in space to the virtual metaverse world, all are closely related to 3-nanometer chips. This is something that many forward-thinking people can see.

What Ding Yue said, was just "fact."

However.

Before this, who dared to imagine the Metaverse, virtual world, and the yearning for vast space could be realized so quickly?

Once Mist City Arts and Science University mastered the 3-nanometer lithography machine technology, all of this can be officially announced as arrived. In the coming years, fields like computers and virtual technology will see explosive development.

"Here, I can announce to everyone, a new era is about to arrive."

After Ding Yue finished speaking, he opened his arms, making a gesture of embracing the future.

For a moment, all the students present were extremely excited, applauding and cheering for Principal Ding’s speech at the release conference.

Who would have thought that someone leading the future was actually their principal?

Once, in many fields, there were visionary people with advanced technology, like Boss Qiao of Fruit Technology who created a new era of smartphones.

Now.

In the realm of virtual technology and the Metaverse, Ding Yue will be the leading figure of this advanced technology, guiding humans into a new era.

"Wow, those words make my blood boil."

"Are 3-nanometer chips really that amazing?"

"It’s said that 3-nanometer chips are a qualitative leap compared to 5-nanometer chips."

"3-nanometer chips can carry the computing power of virtual technology, so they’re considered the key to creating virtual worlds."

"Are they really this awesome?"

"I’m so excited, have I witnessed a miracle and history?"

"We’re witnessing history every day."

"Mist City Arts and Science University is just too strong."

"Virtual world?"

"I always thought things like virtual technology becoming reality, experiencing virtual worlds, those only existed in science fiction novels. Is it finally about to be realized?"

Netizens were already getting excited.

Who doesn’t long for a virtual world?

Over the years, the Metaverse hyped by countless domestic and international technology companies, if really realized, it will surely be the next milestone existence, much like the Internet appeared in this world.

"Next, we’ll have the two persons in charge of our Mist City Arts and Science University lithography machine experiment project provide a detailed introduction to our 3-nanometer lithography machine."

Ding Yue walked to Tong Yihang and Luo Peng’s side and said.

From then on, the main event of the release conference was handed over to Tong Yihang and Luo Peng, who would introduce Mist City Arts and Science University’s developed 3-nanometer lithography machine to the whole world.

Of course, the introduction content definitely won’t include core technical secrets, but just introducing the composition of the world’s first 3-nanometer lithography machine, how it was manufactured, and other related information.

"How was it? Was my talk just now okay?"

After stepping down from the stage, Ding Yue smiled and said to Xu Bin.

"Yue, I must say, listening to your speech really got my blood pumping."

Xu Bin gave a thumbs-up directly.

On the stage just now, Ding Yue managed to stir the emotions of the audience with just a few words, even Xu Bin felt a bit of that blood-boiling sensation, and Xu Bin was already quite familiar with the future directions of Feiyue Group after the birth of the 3-nanometer lithography machine.

"Oh? Really?"

Ding Yue smiled nonchalantly, thinking it wasn’t that exaggerated.

He felt he was just saying some very ordinary things.

The live broadcast of the release conference continued, and next was the main event for Tong Yihang and Luo Peng.

During the conference, Ding Yue didn’t explicitly say how his Feiyue Group would establish a brand new 3-nanometer chip industry chain in the future, or what to specifically do with the 3-nanometer chips.

However, any keen person could basically guess it.

Currently in this world, only Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group can manufacture the 3-nanometer lithography machine, and subsequently produce 3-nanometer chips. Therefore, Feiyue Group will inevitably be involved in the 3-nanometer chip industry.

Meanwhile, in Europe.

ASML Company, as ASML’s boss, Edward had already convened a company board meeting.

"Bob, now that Mist City Arts and Science University has announced that they’ve mastered the 3-nanometer lithography machine, what do you have to say?"

Edward looked at Bob, the head of ASML’s engineering department.

ASML was also developing a 3-nanometer lithography machine, but in recent years had faced several major challenges, which were quite troublesome to resolve. Batch after batch of top precision mechanical processing experts, and other professionals related to lithography machines, had been recruited by ASML.

But even so, ASML hasn’t been able to smoothly overcome one barrier after another until the development and manufacture of the 3-nanometer lithography machine.

Over the years, each major hurdle ASML faced in the development of the 3-nanometer lithography machine typically took about two years to resolve. But on the road to developing and manufacturing the 3-nanometer lithography machine, such major hurdles will continue to emerge.

"Chairman, this... I don’t know how they at Mist City Arts and Science University managed to do it, but the challenges on the road to developing and manufacturing the 3-nanometer lithography machine are too many. Using the current technology and knowledge we have, overcoming them requires a lot of time accumulation."

Bob explained rather helplessly.

He also wanted to quickly develop and manufacture the 3-nanometer lithography machine, but such things can’t be rushed. They considered themselves to have the world’s top lithography machine development team.

"Why can they at Mist City Arts and Science University achieve it?"

Edward said sternly: "The situation is already like this, Bob, tell me, how much longer does it take for our 3-nanometer lithography machine to be developed and manufactured?"

This is something that concerns the future survival of ASML, something Edward and the entire company must pay attention to.

"Boss, at least five...three years."

Bob initially wanted to say five years, but thinking that saying five years might make his boss furious, he said three years instead.

In fact, ASML has already made many breakthroughs in 3-nanometer lithography machine technology, but the breakthrough speed has become slower and slower. However, it’s not impossible, and it’s expected to be feasible around 2030.

This is why Bob initially wanted to say five years.

"Three years!"

Upon hearing this, Edward was filled with anger: "Do you know what three years mean? It means Feiyue Group’s lithography machine will completely steal our market!"
