Of course, they would not actually go on strike, because Lin Feng paid them sufficient overtime pay, and also offered them many attractive rewards to keep them on their side.

For the researchers, engineers and other workers in the research institute outside of Xingtu Technology, Lin Feng gave them other rewards besides naked money.

He also took out intelligence-enhancing gene-enhancing drugs of various levels as bait, which made them tempted.

Because this intelligence version of the gene enhancement potion has three configurations, and each configuration is distributed entirely according to merit, it gives many people hope.

After all, I can't get the highest configuration Hawking intelligence version of the gene enhancement potion, but I can always get the lowest configuration intelligence version of the gene enhancement potion.

Once you are injected with the intelligence-enhancing gene drug, even the lowest-end version, your IQ will be improved and no matter what you do in the future, you will not do too badly thanks to your high IQ.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of scientific researchers outside of Xingtu Technology is quite high. They want to work hard to make contributions and get the opportunity to be injected with the intelligence version of the gene enhancement drug.

As for the scientific researchers within Xingtu Technology, the doctors who have been injected with Hawking's intelligence-enhancing second-generation gene-enhancing drug will receive increases in research funding and salaries.

If you make outstanding contributions and merits, you will have the opportunity to receive an injection of the second-generation gene enhancement drug with an IQ of 230 from Terence Tao.

For those master's level researchers who have not been injected with Hawking's intelligence gene enhancement drug, various versions of intelligence gene enhancement drugs and salaries will be offered to keep them hanging.

Under such circumstances, even if Lin Feng exploited them to death, they were happy to do so, their fighting power was overflowing and their morale was high.

As for why they are squeezed so hard, in addition to the factor of scientific research funding, it is also because too many scientific researchers when developing a technology is actually not a good thing, because this will lead to a lack of distinction between priorities and internal strife.

That is why Lin Feng did not frantically expand the number of people engaged in the research and development of the 10-nanometer process technology, but only maintained the number at around 5.

“Are there any difficulties in the development of the 10nm process technology that cannot be solved in the short term? Tell me and I will solve them.”

Lin Feng went straight to the point and stated the purpose of his coming to the Magic City.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Liang Mengsong was slightly stunned, but soon came back to his senses. After thinking for a while, he replied:
"Although the West has not yet developed a 10-nanometer process technology, most of the technology and chip equipment are close to completion, and it is expected that 2017-nanometer chips will be produced on a small scale in 10.

The simplified chip production equipment drawings provided by artificial intelligence Jarvis are very inspiring to relevant scientific researchers.

It was like an epiphany, and I knew how to design Daxia's own 10-nanometer chip production equipment.

So in terms of chip design, we have kept up with the world trend.”

Liang Mengsong paused for a moment, then continued:

“In terms of materials, we have also made great progress, and the formulas of various materials are being tested and produced.

It is expected that the progress of material research and development and production will be able to keep up with the speed of manufacturing materials needed for chip production equipment.

After all, the total volume of the core parts of chip production equipment is not too large, and can be solved by using materials produced on a small scale in the laboratory.

However, the daily consumables for chip production are more troublesome.

Because chip production requires a large amount of daily consumables, a dedicated large-scale production line needs to be established.

Take high-end photoresist and mask plates as an example. They are the most consumable materials used in chip production. Every chip produced consumes a large amount of photoresist and mask plates. Therefore, the production of chips requires a large amount of photoresist and mask plates, and ultimately it is necessary to establish a matching high-end photoresist and mask plate production line.

Of course, in addition to high-end photoresists and masks, there are many other consumables.

At present, it is best to develop daily consumable materials for chip production, such as photoresist and mask plates, first, and then develop corresponding material production lines and start large-scale mass production. "

Hearing Liang Mengsong's words, Lin Feng nodded slightly, and then continued to listen to Liang Mengsong's words.

"After that comes the issue of production and processing, which is exactly the problem that holds us back the most.

Because Daxia's performance in the machine tool field is not very outstanding, and its performance in the field of high-precision machining is even worse.

In general, the products produced by Daxia can meet general civilian needs, but when it comes to the processing of ultra-precision parts, it seems a bit stretched.

Take the photolithography machine as an example. It has hundreds of thousands of parts, and the precision requirements for each part are very high.

After all, if the tolerance is a little bigger here and a little bigger there, and it is eventually magnified to the entire lithography machine, the difference in precision will be very large.

The lithography machine we want to develop is an EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine that can produce 10-nanometer and even 7-nanometer and 5-nanometer chips in the future. The requirements for processing accuracy and parts are simply fatal.

Of course, in addition to the very high requirements for machining and parts, the precision requirements for the glass lenses of the optical system of the lithography machine are also a headache.

This is because Daxia does not have the kind of grinding and polishing equipment that can grind and polish large lenses with ultra-high precision.

So if you want to manufacture a photolithography machine, you must first develop and manufacture a special device that can grind and polish large-scale glass with ultra-high precision, and then use this special device to grind and polish qualified photolithography machine lenses. "

Hearing Liang Mengsong's words, Lin Feng nodded slightly, knowing how to exert his strength next.

The first thing to be addressed is the problem of ultra-precision machining equipment, followed by the development of special equipment that can grind and polish large-scale glass with ultra-high precision.

Without these two devices, there would be no way to solve the problem of lithography machines and other chip production equipment.

Of course, daily consumables for chip production are equally important after that, because if you want to produce the corresponding chips, you must use the materials for producing chips.

Of course, Lin Feng does not need to deal with this aspect specifically. Lin Feng just needs to continue to increase the investment in scientific researchers.

For example, if more top R&D talents with an IQ of 160+ are assigned there, the development speed of materials such as photoresist will naturally be accelerated.

After that, ultra-high precision lens grinding and polishing equipment comes second.

Because if you want to make special equipment that can grind and polish large lenses with ultra-high precision, you need to first build a machine tool that can manufacture ultra-high precision parts, otherwise it will not be possible.

Therefore, the first problem that Lin Feng had to solve was how to develop and manufacture a five-axis linkage machining center that could produce ultra-high precision parts.

Among them, the five-axis linkage machining center is the most widely used machine tool, because it can be used to process all mechanical parts. (End of this chapter)
