Chapter 1277: Chapter 683: The New Batch of Outstanding Students in the Mechanical Department (Please Subscribe)

Before the month was out, January had nearly come to a close.

The weather grew cold, and even Mist City saw a rare snowfall that delighted the students of Mist City Arts and Science University.

Especially those college students from the south, for some it might have been their first time seeing snow up close, while for the students from the north, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

By late January, universities across the country started to begin their winter vacations one after another.

People began to look forward to this year’s Spring Festival, and then onwards to new beginnings in the coming year.

After January 10th, the various departments and majors at Mist City Arts and Science University also began their end-of-semester exams in succession, and around January 20th, they began to go on vacation one after another.

Some departments finished their exams early and could take a few days off in advance, while others finished later and had to wait a bit longer to start their break, a common pattern in universities nationwide.

For Mist City Arts and Science University, this was actually a good thing.

With more than 80,000 college students, it would have been chaotic if everyone had to leave for vacation at the same time.

Students from elite departments such as Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, including Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, Luo Peng, and Su Beilin had all completed their exams. Since Ding Yue convened the photolithography experiment project team meeting, they had been busy at work.

Regarding the 14-nanometer process photolithography technology, the decision from the last meeting was to collaborate with Guoxing Technology Group to quickly address the chip shortage crisis, thereby easing the delivery situation for Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles.

Ultimately, Su Beilin was tasked with leading a group from the photolithography experiment project team to coordinate with Guoxing Technology Group, with An Yujia providing full support on the company’s end.

Wang Liwu of Guoxing Technology Group naturally did his utmost to cooperate, as it was a beneficial move for the group.

Due to foreign restrictions, Guoxing Technology Group had struggled with production limitations before this breakthrough; without machinery, they couldn’t develop things in-house, which meant their chip production capacity was limited.

Even for 14-nanometer chips, the production capacity couldn’t meet domestic demand.

So, for this collaboration, Guoxing Technology Group invested money, effort, and resources. The manufacturing of the photolithography machines was entirely up to Guoxing Technology Group, with Mist City Arts and Science University providing patents and technical support.

With this partnership, Xia Country’s tech companies could finally begin to break through foreign patent and technology barriers in the field of chips and photolithography technology.

Su Beilin was responsible for the 14-nanometer process photolithography technology, while Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, Yang Jie, Teacher Luo Peng, and other participants including Xu Bin and Ding Xiaoyou focused their efforts on mastering the 7-nanometer process photolithography technology and advancing to break through the core technology barrier of the 5-nanometer, and even the 3-nanometer process.

This was a dual-pronged strategy!

Starting from mid-January, Guoxing Technology Group undertook a massive expansion.

This expansion, investing over five hundred billion, aimed to increase the production capacity of the 14-nanometer chips, further meeting the demand for chips from major domestic manufacturers.

For a while, semiconductor stocks and funds in Xia Country surged, with Guoxing Technology Group’s shares even hitting the daily limit three times, dominating the buzz in the market.

The directors of Guoxing Technology Group were overjoyed.

With the stock price soaring, their shares were now worth even more, and what publicly listed company wouldn’t want to see its market value climbing steadily.

"Mr. Wang, the young people truly have unique insights. If it hadn’t been for your advice in the past, suggesting that we supply Feiyue Group with 200,000 chips, we might not have had the opportunity to collaborate with Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group on the photolithography technology,"

a director happily praised Wang Liwu.

Although the remarks were a bit like locking the stable after the horse had bolted, everyone at the board meeting had approved Wang Liwu’s proposal at the time.

Following the announcement by Guoxing Technology Group to scale up their 14-nanometer chip production, people across the internet cheered and applauded.

It was a significant achievement to be able to increase the production scale of domestic chips under the current conditions.

Soon enough, netizens learned why Guoxing Technology Group was able to scale up chip production once again.

Initially, many thought that the foreign powers had relaxed their restrictions on Xia Country a little.

But it turned out that wasn’t the case.

Foreign powers continued to tightly restrict Xia Country in terms of photolithography machines and chips, with technological patents being tough to overcome.

And surprisingly, this time around, the photolithography machine was built by a domestic university and tech company.

The institution was none other than Mist City Arts and Science University, which had repeatedly amazed the public with surprises and miracles, and the tech company was naturally Feiyue Technology, a subsidiary of Feiyue Group backed by the university!

"Mist City Arts and Science University is amazing, mastering the technology of the 14-nanometer process photolithography machine."
