After Xiao Yu woke up, the two left the company.Under Xiao Yu's insistence, Chen Mo followed her to the hospital for an examination, at least to give her peace of mind.

In the next few days, Chen Mo was guarded at home as a pig, and he had a big table of delicacies every day.Xiao Yu, who usually doesn't buy expensive ingredients, unexpectedly bought a lot of them. If Chen Mo didn't stop her, this girl would definitely move her shop back.

Eat and watch TV every day, take Xiaoyu out for a walk at night, don't have to worry about research, and spend four days of leisure in peace.

Returning to the company again, Chen Mo went to his office.

"Welcome back, Brother Mo." As soon as she walked in, Mo Nu spoke.

"Yeah." Chen Mo sat back on the office chair: "Did you tell Xiao Yu to come up last time?"

"Yes, I checked your body temperature, it suddenly dropped, and you have abnormal symptoms, so I informed sister Xiaoyu." Mo Nu did not deny it.

"Become smarter." Chen Mo said.

"When Brother Mo is in trouble, I will make my own judgment and make a decision that is best for you." Mo Nu said, "Brother Mo, you won't blame me, will you?"

"Why are you blaming you? I'm praising you." Chen Mo said, "Start designing the chip now."

During the few days of rest, he didn't do nothing. When he was free, he digested the knowledge of supercomputers.

After a few days, he has gnawed out a huge amount of knowledge.

Now sort out the design of the supercomputer, and when the superconducting chip comes out, a superconducting computer will be assembled.

The power of strong artificial intelligence lies in its powerful computing power, especially strong artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness.Therefore, it is very appropriate to leave chip design to Mo Nu.

Design requires the use of software and algorithms, and Mo Nu is undoubtedly the most proficient.

Although Mo Nu was developed by him, in this respect, ten Chen Mos are inferior to Mo Nu, and the efficiency is also very fast.

"What kind of chip?" Mo Nu asked.

"The chips used by robots, and the high-efficiency chips used by supercomputers." Chen Mo said.

Now Mo Nu can take the initiative to ask him questions, and her spirituality is getting higher and higher.This shows that Mo Nu is slowly growing and evolving.

Zhao Min walked into Chen Mo's office: "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Chen Mo stopped his hands and looked at Zhao Min: "What do you need from me?"

"Mr. Terry, the US ambassador to China, is in the reception room and wants to talk to you about the seismograph." Zhao Min said: "I contacted you two days ago, but at that time, because you were not feeling well, I shirked it. "

"I thought this American had a lot of backbone, so he's going to hold on to the end." Chen Mo stood up and followed Zhao Min to leave: "How is the production of the seismograph?"

"The production of test machines some time ago gave the employees experience. The five high-precision machine tools sent by Mr. Li are better than ours. Now the employees have mastered the skills, because the process and materials are relatively simple because they are not producing deep-sea seismometers. Assemble three."

"Not bad." Chen Mo said.

"By the way, Li Danni contacted ASML, and they rejected our EUV order. They are only willing to provide us with lithography machines above 32 nanometers." Zhao Min said: "Because the Wassenaar arrangement mechanism is controlled by the Americans. , Prohibition of providing EUV and NX1980D to China, they will have a lot of trouble if they want to sell. "

She didn't have any surprises about this, and she didn't hold out much hope.Until the present of globalization, there is still a technological blockade against China.

Western countries are doing everything possible to prevent the rise of China, and almost all of the most sophisticated precision instruments are embargoed against them.

Chen Mo looked at Zhao Min, thought for a moment and shook his head: "Then there is no need."

At present, the mainstream chip manufacturing process is 14-32 nanometers. He does not expect EUV, but 22 nanometers or 32 nanometers are also acceptable.But above 32 nanometers, it is already two or three generations behind. This kind of precision lithography machine does not meet his needs.

He wants to study superconducting chips, and the material is room-temperature superconducting materials, which cannot be manufactured by fabs, but he also does not want to use such backward equipment to make superconducting chips.

Originally, there were ready-made instruments, but he didn't want to make a lithography machine for the time being.

He can let Mo Nu carry out the research and development of the lithography machine, but the production process requires a lot of precision instruments, which is troublesome.His time should be spent on major scientific and technological research. After the industrial park is completed, robots can be used to produce these instruments.

Now it seems that we have to think of other ways.

Terry sat in the reception room of the army ants, expressionless, showing no emotion.

He contacted the Army Ant Company two days ago, probably because the seismograph was taken away, which made the Army Ant Company unhappy, so the Army Ant Company did not take too much notice of him.

Coming here in person this time has already shown his sincerity.The United States has also been deeply affected by earthquakes, and the instruments that were salvaged were broken, so we had to buy seismographs.Otherwise, if there is a major earthquake, it will be the Americans who will suffer.

Seeing Chen Mo and Zhao Min coming in, Terry stood up immediately.

"Hello, Chen."

"Hello, Ambassador Terry, what's the matter here?" Chen Mo and Terry briefly shook hands and sat down on the sofa.

"Come here this time because of the seismograph." Terry went straight to the point: "Some time ago, we fished an instrument from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. I didn't know it beforehand. It was a seismograph from the Marching Ant Company. Yes, ready to return it to you."

Chen Mo had to admire Terry's art of speaking.They didn't contact the United States to talk about the seismograph. Terry's words cleared the blame and made it impossible for them to pursue it.

"Then I still need to thank you?" Chen Mo asked.

"Of course not, it's just that the instrument was damaged when it was at the bottom of the sea. Because of this, I didn't know how to talk to you before, lest you think we broke it." Terry said.

"Hehe, there may be a little glitch."

He really couldn't find any excuse to pursue responsibility for the other party's words.

"That instrument, you can send people to get it back at any time. I am personally very grateful to Marching Ant Company, which has brought good news to mankind in fighting earthquakes. You are a great company. I have only said this to your company."

"Thank you for your compliment." Chen Mo smiled slightly: "Mr. Terry came here in person this time, just because of this?"

"One more thing." Terry rubbed his hands, and his face became serious: "I heard that your company will export seismographs, and I want to know about this."

"Sorry, Mr. Terry." Zhao Min next to him interjected: "Our production is insufficient, and we will not be able to meet the demand for a period of time in the future, so we cannot export for the time being."

Chen Mo had no objection to Zhao Min's interjection, and sat aside to watch.

"But Mr. Terry values ​​our company so much, we are not unreasonable."

"President Zhao, do you have a solution?" Terry laughed immediately: "We don't want much, we need two for the time being. If we need it in the future, we will import more."

"There is a way." Zhao Min glanced at Chen Mo, and smiled lightly.

Chapter 162 Seismograph Replacement Lithography Machine

"The seismograph will not be exported for the time being, but we need an EUV for experiments. If there is an EUV exchange, we are happy to exchange with you." Zhao Min said.

Chen Mo watched quietly. If he could get a lithography machine and two more seismographs, he wouldn't mind.

"If Ambassador Terry thinks it's impossible, then you can come and trade with us when our seismograph exits." Zhao Min said unhurriedly.

"Miss Zhao's condition makes me very powerless." Terry said: "We don't have EUV, how about other conditions?"

"Others, our company does not lack." Zhao Min shook his head: "I believe that Ambassador Terry has great powers and will find a way to get them."

"Miss Zhao really thinks highly of me." Terry shook his head and smiled.

"Since this is the case, Mr. Terry will be disappointed this time. You should wait for our company's seismograph to be exported to the outside world before coming here. Of course, if you place an order now, we will accept it and give you the seismograph first. The price is not high. Not expensive, $5000 million a set.”

As soon as Zhao Min said this, the female translator who followed Terry next to her twitched her lips.Not expensive, $5000 million?

If these words are released, it will become a classic "small goal".

After hearing the price, Terry's face trembled.He heard about the price of the seismograph, but he didn't expect the price to be true.

"Can't the price be lower?" Terry asked.

"No, all countries are treated equally. The price is the same in every country. Our output is very low, and we are not sure when we can deliver the order. However, if there is a lithography machine, as long as the lithography machine arrives, we will immediately sell only There are two for you." Zhao Min said.

Terry was lost in thought. It was a conundrum.

They want seismographs, mainly for research purposes.The seismograph they picked up last time was damaged, and they didn't get much useful technology. This time they just want a good seismograph to go back.

If they develop an early warning mechanism for the operation of seismographs, they can produce seismographs.Compared with this is the most cutting-edge technology, many countries want to get it.

"Can you show me your seismograph?" Terry didn't reply immediately, he needed to contact the country for further reply.

"We have a model of the seismograph in our company. You can take Ambassador Terry to have a look." Zhao Min said.

"Ok."

A group of people walked towards the product exhibition area of ​​Marching Ant Company.

In the company, there is a specially set area to display the company's products.After taking Terry for a tour, after leaving, Chen Mo and Zhao Min walked to the office.

"The Americans took the initiative to come here this time, what do you think?" Chen Mo asked.

"Retire the responsibility of fishing for the seismograph and get a new seismograph. Their damage is not of much research value. They want a new one to go back. They want to study the technology of the seismograph."

Zhao Min pointed to the crux of the problem.

"So this time the seismograph is replaced with EUV technology? Is there hope?" Chen Mo asked.

"He didn't refuse on the spot, just hope. I just took advantage of their eagerness to get the seismograph and made a deal with them. Even if they don't have a technical blockade, it will take 21 months for us to place an order for ASML to get the lithography machine , which is faster.”

"It's better to disclose the news, exchange three seismographs for a lithography machine, try it, and maybe you will get unexpected results." Chen Mo said.

Not one or two countries in the world are staring at the technology of the seismograph in his hands.However, the price offered by the Army Ant Company is too high, and the seismograph has not been exported for the time being, so many people can't get it even if they have money.

The Army Ant Company is willing to release the seismograph, and there will definitely be many interested companies.

"Yes, anyway, you can trade with anyone, not necessarily the United States. There are many countries that have lithography machines." Zhao Min nodded.

In the afternoon of the same day, the news that Marching Ant Company was willing to exchange three seismometers for one EUV was officially announced.

The news immediately attracted international attention.

The earthquake in the island country has not really subsided so far.

The Fukushima nuclear leak became more serious in this earthquake, and the news that the United States took away the army ant seismograph, which caused the people of the island country and the United States to fight each other, is still circulating on the Internet.

The seismograph is the biggest protagonist in this earthquake. Because of the appearance of the seismograph, the earthquake has become predictable. Those countries that suffered from earthquake disasters are all staring at the seismograph of the Marching Ant Company.

Now Marching Ant Company exchanged the seismograph for the lithography machine, which immediately attracted the attention of many media.

The domestic semiconductor industry has not developed, not because of poor chip design capabilities, but also because of the lack of high-end lithography machines.

The news of the army ants company sent a big signal: the army ants are preparing to enter the semiconductor market.

Along the way, it is unlucky for the army ants to catch anyone.For semiconductor companies, the emergence of another potential opponent in Huaxia is a chill down the spine.

Intel headquarters.

"What do you think of the lithography machine that Marching Ant Company wants?"

Paul looked at Barrett who was in the main seat of the conference room, and there were several other leaders or directors of Intel on the field.Army ant companies want to enter the semiconductor field, they must develop new strategies to deal with.

This nest of ants, wherever they go, will make people frightened.

"Don't worry, Paul." Barrett said: "In the semiconductor field, not just any company will enter it, but I am a little interested in this seismograph."

"It's better to take out an EUV and exchange it with them. If you can reverse-engineer the technology of the seismograph, the company's stock and reputation will be improved." Sitting opposite Barrett, the gray-haired Intel chairman Ann Di looked at the others in the meeting room.

His words stunned everyone.

"I also think it can be considered. They just want lithography machines. Although they are scarce, we have them, and the next batch will arrive soon. In recent years, the Europeans have embargoed China, and they are a bit duplicity.

Ames has shown signs of letting go. In two years, the Huaxia people will have a lithography machine. We have no shortage here. One missing will not have much impact on production, and we can buy another one at any time. said the youngest man on the field. He is Wilson, the CEO of EA, and now the 12th director of Intel.

Others on the field were also lost in thought. In recent years, many European countries have lifted some technology embargoes against China. With the rise of China, this trend will become bigger and bigger. Now that there are benefits, they have no reason to look at it and not take it. .

If we develop earthquake prediction technology with the help of seismographs and master the production of seismographs, it will have a great impact on the company's reputation and income.The Army Ant Company relied on this to become a giant like them, and its valuation has skyrocketed.

Paul, the initiator of the meeting, did not expect that the painting style of this meeting would actually deviate in this direction.

South Korea, Samsung headquarters conference room.

Sitting at the conference table were other senior executives of the Samsung Group, and everyone sat upright, not daring to make any big moves.

Li Jianxi looked at the seismograph on the projection, expressionless.

This thing is the seismograph that has been making a lot of noise during this time.He is very interested in this technology. If he can master the technology of the seismograph, the influence of the Samsung Group will become even greater.

They are shareholders of ASML and have the priority to pick up the goods. One EUV has little impact on them. The next batch of EUV will arrive soon.They have a bit of grievance with the army ant company, but they cooperate in competition, which is the normal state of business survival now.

There are no permanent enemies, only permanent benefits.

Samsung is able to grow from a small trading company to a large conglomerate that now controls the South Korean economy, and its courage is definitely not lost.

The seismographs of Army Ant Company cost 5000 million US dollars each, and they know this news.High-price monopoly is their favorite method. Rare things are more expensive. No matter how much money is spent, those countries will also buy this instrument that can predict disasters.

Originally, Marching Ant Company did not export seismographs, so they couldn't get them for the time being.Now is such a good opportunity, they will not let it go easily.

The price of EUV is 1.1 million U.S. dollars, and the seismograph is 5000 million U.S. dollars. Even if the three units are replaced and sold to other countries, the business will be profitable.

"Send someone to contact Marching Army Ant Company and tell them that we are willing to exchange with them, but we want four sets." Li Jianxi said.
