Chapter 1455: Chapter 771: Domestically Developed Chip? (Please Subscribe)_2

However, the current situation appears to be not so favorable, but Governor Li discovered that Principal Ding in front of him, seemed to be quite confident, could it be that he has already started to devise some plans in his heart?

Let’s see how Principal Ding is going to deal with this crisis.

"Governor Li, in the current overseas market, various countries are merely resisting and imposing chip sanctions against our Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles. The resistance part is merely the attitude of the overseas countries, and from the level of resistance alone, they cannot stop our Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles from selling well in the overseas markets, because consumers have clear eyes. Since it went online in the overseas market, the reputation of our Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles has been rising day by day, the overseas consumers’ calls have grown increasingly strong, I think there will be a day when the overseas countries can no longer withstand the pressure from these consumers, and eventually make the resistance ineffective."

Ding Yue detailed the crisis currently faced by his Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles and his analytical judgment to Governor Li.

This is why Ding Yue has always been so calm about the overseas countries’ resistance.

"You make sense."

Upon hearing this, Governor Li nodded, expressing his great approval of Ding Yue’s analysis.

And Governor Li himself also had some thoughts, that is, even if the overseas countries resist, they are definitely not going to outright ban the export of Feiyue Group’s Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles, as that would be directly opposing Xia Country. Unless America speaks out, it’s estimated that no overseas country would dare to do so.

But the problem is.

America really might do something so shameless. Imposing chip sanctions on Feiyue Group is a fatal move. Xia Country’s chip technology has been strangled, and domestic chip research and production enterprises like Guoxing Technology Group have always been unable to catch up with the international pace. If they are strangled by America again, it might become even harder, especially for Feiyue Group’s Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles, which rely heavily on chips.

Without some technologies and materials, even if Guoxing Technology Group masters the 14-nanometer and 7-nanometer chip technology, they cannot provide chips for Feiyue Group’s Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles.

If Feiyue Group’s Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles run out of chips, then they are essentially unable to manufacture vehicles. Without being able to manufacture vehicles, how can there be talk of advancing into the overseas market?

This is a chain, and it doesn’t work if any link in the chain is missing.

So, the progress of domestic chip technology is indeed very important.

"Secondly, this is also the most important point."

Ding Yue continued to detail the current situation and the response plan of Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group to Governor Li: "America and Europe have imposed chip sanctions on our Feiyue Group, now even if we want to place orders with Guoxing Technology Group for chip manufacturing, it’s probably very difficult for them as well, because of the suppression on equipment, technology, and imported processing materials."

"Right, in that case, your Feiyue Group won’t be able to manufacture Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles anymore."

What Governor Li worried about was exactly this.

He worried that Feiyue Group would not be able to manufacture Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles without chips. He feared that Feiyue Group, after losing the ability to produce Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles, would incur huge economic losses, causing this newly emerging and thriving technology enterprise to collapse abruptly.

"So, Governor Li, our Feiyue Group cannot allow our fate to be in the hands of others."

Ding Yue suddenly let out a cold laugh and confidently said.

"Oh? What do you mean, Principal Ding?"

Upon hearing this, Governor Li’s heart surged with excitement.

"Chips, have always been a pain point for Xia Country. For many years, we’ve been choked and strangled by America and Europe. Therefore, several years ago, our Mist City Arts and Science University started a lithography machine research project, focusing on research in the areas of lithography machines, etching machines, and gallium nitride semiconductor materials. After the tireless efforts of countless teachers and students of our university and the investment of substantial funds, since last year, we have achieved many successes and breakthroughs."

As Ding Yue spoke to this point, a flame kindled in his heart.

The lithography machine research project, the road to chips in Xia Country, was something Ding Yue had longed for and looked forward to from the beginning.

Now, after all these years, he could finally see the fruits of his labor.

While it’s generally true that you wouldn’t see a splash in chip research without throwing in tens or hundreds of billions, Mist City Arts and Science University stands out. Naturally, the investment isn’t as massive as that of typical tech corporations, but Ding Yue has given his Mist City Arts and Science University’s lithography machine experiment project a full set of cheats.

"What?"

The moment Governor Li heard it, he was utterly stunned.

Mist City Arts and Science University was actually researching domestically produced chips? Lithography machines? Etching machines?

Had it been anyone else hearing this, they wouldn’t have believed it. After all, how powerful and technologically capable could an ordinary private university be?

But Governor Li knew that backed by Feiyue Group, Feiyue Group, whether in its current or past phases, was never short of money, and Mist City Arts and Science University had trained numerous talents, who have even won the National Science and Technology Award.

Not only that, but Principal Ding himself was involved in the research and development of gallium nitride semiconductor chips, making tremendous contributions to the country’s semiconductor material technology development.

Therefore, Governor Li naturally believed what Principal Ding had just said—that their Mist City Arts and Science University’s lithography machine experiment project had made significant breakthroughs in the fields of lithography, etching, and chip development.

What did this mean?

It was very clear to Governor Li what this meant. If Mist City Arts and Science University succeeded and truly developed domestically researched chips, the entire chip field in Xia Country would undergo an earth-shaking transformation.

Even Guoxing Technology Group, currently trying to manufacture chips or more advanced chips, would be restricted by foreign-related enterprises, and this was the pain of Xia Country’s chip industry.

"Principal Ding, are you saying that the chip research at your Mist City Arts and Science University has had a major breakthrough? What specifically are you referring to?"

Governor Li looked at Ding Yue, excitedly asking.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it won’t be long before our Mist City Arts and Science University will announce the mastery of independently researched core technologies such as lithography machines, etching machines, and chip development."

Ding Yue confidently stated.

This confidence stemmed from the promise made by his own lithography machine experiment team not long ago.

They said that in three months’ time, a miracle would happen.

Now, with less than three months left to the miracle, everyone in the Mist City Arts and Science University’s research base center had become busy. Of course, this referred to everyone involved in the lithography machine experiment project. Even participants like Xu Bin were asked by Ding Yue to temporarily stop their current tasks to devote themselves fully to ensure the smooth success of the lithography machine experiment team.

"Principal Ding, did you develop 14 nanometer lithography and chip technology?"

Governor Li couldn’t wait to ask.

Because currently, what domestic related tech companies could achieve was basically the 14 nanometer chip technology and related lithography and etching machines.

Technologies like the 7 nanometer process were only within the grasp of famous domestic companies like Guoxing Technology Group, almost the largest chip company, and they didn’t fully control all the technology themselves, as there was collaboration with some foreign companies. Thus, if a foreign company were to choke their supply, it would be quite painful.

"14 nanometers? No."

Ding Yue shook his head in response.

"Not 14 nanometers, then is it the 28 nanometer process technology?" Governor Li asked with a slight disappointment.

If it was that level, then it would be somewhat outdated!
