Chapter 1479: Chapter 783: A Nation’s Boiling Tribute! (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

And Ding Yue felt that the young people on the lithography machine research project at Mist City Arts and Science University were the successors to the mantle of Elder Li and his peers.

"Really? This, thi-this-this, I really didn’t expect it, allowing you young ones to finally achieve it."

Elder Li was somewhat tearfully excited on the phone.

"Elder Li, it is precisely because of the trailblazers like you that we have been able to forge ahead. You pioneers have truly borne the brunt of the hardship. We, the younger generation, will definitely live up to the expectations and continue to strive forward."

Ding Yue said to Elder Li with excitement.

"Good, good, our Xia Country’s scientific research has succession, it has succession!" Elder Li was even more excited. What scientists of their generation like him wished for was nothing more than for the younger generation in Xia Country to take up the banner and continue down the long road of scientific research.

Now, it seemed that these talents cultivated one after another by Mist City Arts and Science University were doing just that.

"Oh right, Principal Ding, you have achieved a breakthrough in the lithography machine research this time, I think... I think..."

Before Elder Li could finish his sentence, Ding Yue had already guessed what he meant and immediately said, "Elder Li, do you want to come over for a visit?"

"Yes, yes, exactly."

Elder Li quickly responded.

"Of course, you can. The senior academicians from Xia Country Academy of Sciences have made significant contributions to our Xia Country’s lithography machine and semiconductor research. You are our respected elders, and we welcome you to visit at any time."

Ding Yue said without any hesitation.

There was no reason to refuse. These elderly pioneers had dreamed of seeing significant progress in Xia Country’s chip technology. Now that the opportunity had come, how could they not be allowed to see the brand-new lithography and etching machines, among other equipment, independently developed and manufactured by Mist City Arts and Science University?

"Great, very good, then we’ll make some preparations and come over, how does that sound?"

Elder Li said excitedly.

"No problem, of course, there’s no problem at all. Elder Li, do you need someone from our side to pick you up from Yancheng?" Ding Yue asked again.

"There’s no need to trouble you, Principal Ding. We may be old bones, but we can still make the journey. So, we’ll come over in a few days? When are you available, Principal Ding?" Elder Li asked.

"Whenever Elder Li comes, we naturally have time," Ding Yue humbly said.

For elders like Elder Li and other academicians from Xia Country Academy of Sciences to visit, how could Ding Yue not clear his schedule to graciously receive them? It was definitely essential to fulfill these elders’ wish to see the newly developed lithography and etching machines at Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Great, that’s wonderful, then I won’t disturb you any longer, Principal Ding."

After confirming that he could visit Mist City Arts and Science University, Elder Li no longer wished to occupy more of Principal Ding’s time.

Because Elder Li knew that someone like Principal Ding was certainly very busy.

"Okay, Elder Li, goodbye. I’ll be waiting for you at Mist City Arts and Science University," Ding Yue said, and after bidding farewell to Elder Li over the phone, he hung up.

"Elder Li? Is it Academician Li Jingde from Xia Country Academy of Sciences?" Luo Peng couldn’t help but ask curiously after he overheard Principal Ding finish the call.

After all, there were only a few people in the entire Xia Country who could be referred to as Elder Li; they could be counted on one’s fingers.

"Yes, it’s Elder Li from Xia Country Academy of Sciences."

Ding Yue nodded and said, "In a few days, Elder Li and his group will come to our Mist City Arts and Science University to look at the research findings of our lithography machine project. When that time comes, you juniors must properly showcase your achievements to Elder Li."

"Of course."

"Elder Li is one of the scientists I admire the most."

"If Elder Li is coming, that’s really great."

Whether it was Tong Yihang or Luo Peng, all were thrilled at the news of Elder Li from Xia Country Academy of Sciences planning to visit.

"Principal Ding, there’s half an hour left until twelve o’clock."

At this moment, the secretary Wen Ruohan reminded everyone of the time.

"Okay, everyone get ready."

Upon hearing Secretary Wen Ruohan’s reminder, Ding Yue gave his instructions.

Today, at twelve o’clock sharp, the official account of Mist City Arts and Science University, with a post personally written by Ding Yue, would officially announce to the whole country and even the entire world through Twitter that Mist City Arts and Science University had successfully mastered a series of technologies such as lithography and etching machines and chip research, achieving technological independence with chips.

Others, like Tong Yihang and Luo Peng, were also ready with their papers, prepared to release their latest research findings, which encapsulated the essence of their work on the lithography machine project over the years.

As the buzz on the internet grew and the time approached twelve o’clock, the anticipation heightened.

But in that half-hour period, netizens’ skepticism towards the tweet posted earlier by Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University only grew stronger.

After all, Ding Yue was merely holding out on them and didn’t reveal any key information.

Time always passes slowly while we wait.

Ding Yue glanced at the time—twenty-two minutes left.

After a while, he checked the time again—seventeen minutes to go.

Another moment passed, and it was down to nine minutes.

Ding Yue was starting to get anxious as he waited.

"Principal Ding, it’s twelve o’clock."

Finally, the time had come, and his secretary Wen Ruohan promptly reminded him.

Ding Yue, who had already prepared the content of his blog post, clicked to publish it without hesitation—the long-awaited announcement was now live. Meanwhile, at Tong Yihang’s end, the paper was also uploaded to the National Paper Network immediately.

[Mist City Arts and Science University]v: Today, we officially announce that after relentless efforts, our university’s photolithography machine research project has successfully mastered the 5-nanometer chip fabrication process, as well as the independent research and development and manufacturing of photolithography machines, etching machines, and other machinery equipment. The era of domestic chips has arrived; this is a birthday present Mist City Arts and Science University offers to Xia Country!

The short post released by the official Mist City Arts and Science University blog account exploded like a bombshell, causing a thousand waves across Xia Country.

5-nanometer chip fabrication process!

Photolithography machines!

Etching machines!

The era of domestic chips has dawned!

Each key term excited and uplifted every person in Xia Country.

Beneath this post from the official Mist City Arts and Science University blog, the shares, likes, and comments were countless!

In less than ten minutes, Twitter crashed due to the overwhelming response.

Quickly after that, TikTok also went down, and Bilibili was so overloaded it barely functioned.

Today, netizens across the nation were following the announcement from Mist City Arts and Science University on every major platform!

"Holy shit, is this for real?"

"5-nanometer chips?"

"Does this mean we’ve mastered all the necessary technology?"

"Holy moly, we can make photolithography and etching machines ourselves?"

"Actually, developing chips isn’t that difficult; the tricky part is the photolithography and etching machines, as the required precision machining technology is incredibly complex."

"The era of domestic new chips has arrived!"

"Is this true?"

"Principal Ding, you can’t just be bluffing here!"

"Mist City Arts and Science University is this awesome now?"

"What does this mean? Does this mean our chip sanctions from America and Europe have become ineffective from now on?"

"Once we were far behind foreign countries in the field of chips, but after generations of scientists’ hard work, have we really caught up now?"

"Is this what they call one lap ahead on the bend?"

"Are we certain that we can independently research and manufacture photolithography machines now?"

"Damn, this is epic. So pumped, holy shit!"

"Awesome, this National Day gift is simply epic!"

The news from Mist City Arts and Science University left netizens absolutely stunned; after all, who could have imagined that our domestic chip technology could catch up with leading international technologies?

This is truly unbelievable!
