Chapter 595
The old man was very angry.
“Mr. Director.”
“I can promise God!”
“Even if the Dragon people are given another 10 years, they can’t make high-end lithography machines!”
At this time, Joshua Parker, the head of Qualcomm.
Face to face FBI Director Chris Topher, who was sitting in the chair in front of him, he made a solemn promise.
After hearing Joshua Parker’s words, Chris Topher still frowned, and was obviously not satisfied with this answer and guarantee.
After all, as the director of the FBI Federal Bureau, one of the core figures on Capitol Hill.
Chris Topher couldn’t let down his guard against Dragon Country because of Joshua Parker’s words.
“Mr. Parker, you are an expert in the semiconductor field.”
“Please make a bold prediction based on the current technological level of the Dragon people.”
“How many nanometers can the most advanced lithography machines and chips they can make reach?”
Under the hawk-like gaze of Christopher.
Joshua Parker pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, thought seriously for a moment and explained:
“Mr. Director.”
“As the epitome of modern industrial technology, the lithography machine is known as the jewel in the crown!”
“Among all the technologies known to mankind, no technology is as complex as the lithography machine!”
“Since 1822, our chip alliance has begun to develop lithography machines.”
“And Longguo did not officially start developing lithography machines until 1965.”
“There is a full 143 years difference between the two!”
“And under our strict defense and blockade, the people of Longguo are struggling in the field of lithography machines.”
“Blah blah…”
Listening to Joshua Parker talking endlessly, using a lot of data to prove the gap between Longguo and the field of lithography machines.
But after talking for a long time, he didn’t say the answer he wanted to hear.
Christopher, who was getting impatient, suddenly remembered.
Joshua Parker, the Qualcomm executive in front of him, seemed to have served as the general manager of the Dragon branch for ten years.
Obviously, after ten years of exposure.
This Qualcomm executive has learned the unique language art of the Dragon people.
It seems that he has been talking for a long time, but in fact he has said nothing.
Christopher waved his hand impatiently and asked the question he was most concerned about:
“Mr. Parker.”
“Please tell me directly,”
“With the current technological level of the Dragon people, how many nanometers of lithography machines can they make at most?”
When he was talking about it, Joshua Parker, the Qualcomm executive, was suddenly interrupted, and his expression could not help but stagnate slightly.
Although he hated being interrupted when he was talking, the other party was the FBI Federal Director.
After pushing the lens on his nose subconsciously, Joshua Parker replied concisely:
“Mr. Director.”
“The most advanced process of the photolithography machine that Longguo can currently develop is 90nm.”
“Although they claim to have mastered the 10nm photolithography machine technology.”
“But in my opinion, this must be a smoke bomb deliberately thrown by Longguo to bluff.”
“Based on the current technological level they have mastered in the semiconductor field.”
“Longguo can only develop a photolithography machine with a precision of 30-20nm at most.”
“If Longguo people who don’t know their own limitations dare to rush to challenge the 10nm photolithography machine.”
“Then I can already see that they will end in failure!”
After hearing Joshua Parker’s words, Christopher’s face was not happy, but his brows frowned even deeper.
Because Longguo openly claimed to be developing a 10nm photolithography machine.
According to the infiltration of agents and spies, it was concluded that Longguo was secretly developing a more advanced 7nm lithography machine.
But the experts of the Chip Alliance and the giants of major Western semiconductor companies.
After a rigorous assessment and measurement of Longguo’s current technological level in the semiconductor field.
The final conclusion is: Even if Longguo uses the power of the whole country, it can only develop a 20-nanometer lithography machine at most.
All kinds of complicated intelligence and analysis mixed together, giving Chris Topher, the director of the FBI, a headache.
Faced with the mess in front of him, he couldn’t judge which piece of intelligence and analysis was accurate and reliable.
He waved his hand and let the secretary
After sending Joshua Parker out of the office.
Christopher, frowning, quietly lit a cigar.
Seeing this, secretary Grace Kelly waited respectfully by the side, not daring to interrupt.
As a close secretary who was inseparable from him every day, she knew the habits of the federal director in front of her very well.
Only when he encountered a difficult decision, Christopher, who always paid attention to health, would light a cigar.
After a few minutes…
A hint of sharpness gradually emerged in Christopher’s hawk-like eyes.
After taking a puff of the cigar in his hand, he immediately instructed his secretary:
“Notify the agents hidden in Longguo.”
“Get accurate information about Longguo’s research and development of lithography machines in the shortest possible time at all costs!”
“We must find out what level of lithography machines the Longguo people are researching and what stage they have reached so far.”
Hearing this, Secretary Grace Kelly immediately replied: “Yes! Mr. Director!”
At the same time…
Longguo, the imperial capital, a live interview program on a military channel.
The director, wearing a suit and a red tie, was being interviewed by the host:
“Recently, our Longguo is facing sanctions and blockades from the Western Alliance.”
“Under the strict defense of the chip restriction order, our Longguo’s semiconductor industry is suffering from an unprecedented winter.”
“Today, on behalf of all the audience, I would like to ask the director, how can our Longguo break through this predicament?”
Facing the host’s question, the director replied solemnly:
“At present, Longguo is indeed facing tremendous pressure in the semiconductor industry.”
“But in order to break this dilemma, our Longguo has also invested heavily in the Longguang project, and has spared no expense to develop 10nm optical lithography machine.”
“And not long ago, five major lithography machine industrial parks were established and put into use.”
“If everything goes well, I estimate that within the next three years, our Longguo will be able to develop its own lithography machine.”
Hearing this, the host subconsciously asked:
“Within three years?”
“Isn’t this research and development time a bit too long?”
“And it took three years to develop a 10nm lithography machine. Isn’t the performance too backward?”
“If I remember correctly, the world’s most advanced lithography machine company-ASML.”
“Not long ago, it has successfully developed a 3nm lithography machine, right?”
