Chapter 211 What are you hiding here?
"Hmm~ what is that?"

As soon as he walked into the manager's office on the top floor, Su Chen saw through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows that there were several people standing on the rooftops of several buildings behind, squatting on the open-air rooftop tinkering with something.

Su Chen could tell at a glance that those people were the mysterious masked team brought by Mr. Xiao.

"Huh~ Why are they here?" Xiao Chen, who was following behind Su Chen, also saw those people and was a little surprised.

Su Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he said casually: "Brother Chen knows them? They came with the old man when he came here before."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen looked at Su Chen meaningfully. How could he not understand the meaning of these words? He was just curious about the origin of this.

"It's okay for you to tell me." Xiao Chen said as he walked to the rest area and sat down before continuing, "This is the latest special information-based force, known as the Shadow Force. It is equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, and it achieves certain tactical needs by concealing, shielding, and confusing satellite signals."

At this point, Xiao Chen turned his head and looked out the window again, "They should be setting up a large-scale signal mask. After all, the entire park will be under martial law in the coming period, and more people will come here at that time."

"In order to avoid attracting some people's attention, preliminary preparation work is inevitable."

Su Chen understood this. After all, there were countless spy satellites flying in the sky. If a large-scale gathering of people occurred on Zheng Island, some countries would definitely mobilize satellite reconnaissance at the first opportunity.

Although Su Chen's park is far away from the city and there are not many people around, seeing the gathering of troops and the appearance of various personnel will more or less attract other people's attention.

You know, people are most curious about unknown things. Even if there are two cats fighting on the roadside, people will stand by and watch the fun.

Of course, the people above are not fools. They will definitely have corresponding measures, just like when Su Chen and the others came back before, they entered quietly in the middle of the night without attracting other people's attention.

Su Chen was not so curious about this shadow army, but when he heard that there would be martial law for a period of time, he wondered if this meant that he could only stay in the park and could not go out.

Thinking of this, Su Chen hurriedly asked, if he were to stay here for ten days or half a month, wouldn't that be absolute torture!

It goes without saying that the signal will be blocked at that time, which means that you can’t use your mobile phone or computer, and you can’t go out. That would be so boring.

"Uh~ I can't make the decision on this question. When the old man wakes up, you can ask him yourself."

Xiao Chen really didn't dare to make a decision easily on this matter. After all, something like controlled nuclear fusion was too important, and Su Chen was one of the few people who knew about it.

If it were someone else, they would probably be in some mysterious and quiet place by now.

But then again, this time their Xiao family also benefited from Su Chen, and it was a big benefit.

The old man had also hinted to him before that after this matter was over, both he and other people in their family would be promoted to a certain extent.

As for the reason, everyone knows it.

Hearing that they were going to ask Mr. Xiao, Su Chen sighed helplessly and was mentally prepared to stay in the park.

"By the way, does your research base have any other secrets? Yesterday I asked Chen Fei and Xiao Peng, but they both learned to fool me."

"I wanted to visit other research institutes and factories, but they stopped me. They also said that I was not allowed to visit without your order."

"He also said that the projects in those research institutes are all very important secrets."

"Don't tell me that the projects in other research institutes are as shocking as Professor Chen's?"

Having said that, Xiao Chen's gaze fell on Su Chen's face, wanting to see his expression, but what he saw was an appreciative smile.

Appreciation? What the hell?

Is this an expression of approval for Chen Fei and Xiao Peng's behavior?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen also became somewhat interested in Su Chen's research institutes. Before, he was distracted by the controlled nuclear fusion issues, but now he became somewhat interested in them.

"It seems that I was right about the person. I didn't expect that Chen Fei and Xiao Peng would even stop you. It seems that I should praise them well." Su Chen said jokingly.

In an instant, Xiao Chen felt that his forehead was covered with black lines.

He looked at Su Chen speechlessly and said, "Don't talk to me about this. Tell me about your research institutes."

Su Chen did not intend to hide the other research institutes any longer. Old Man Xiao had said before that he was also very curious. After the old man woke up, he would definitely let Su Chen take him to visit.
"Let's talk about it after the old man wakes up, so I don't have to introduce him several times."

After hearing this, Xiao Chen knew that there was nothing wrong with what Su Chen said, and nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a while, and as they talked, Su Chen felt sleepy. He lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

Looking at Su Chen who was sleeping and snoring on the sofa, Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly.

After finding a quilt to cover him, Xiao Chen leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep. He had not slept the whole night either. If the conditions allowed, he would have found a place to sleep long ago.

While Grandpa Xiao, Su Chen and others were sleeping soundly, the imperial capital immediately became busy because of Grandpa Xiao's phone call.

"Let's go and see how many secrets your research base has hidden."

After lunch, as expected, Mr. Xiao proposed the idea of ​​visiting other research institutes.

Su Chen shrugged indifferently. He had already prepared himself mentally for this matter. He went directly to the Chip Research Institute under the leadership of Chen Fei.

At first, Su Chen thought he was at the research institute, but he didn't expect Chen Fei to drive the sightseeing car directly to the factory area behind.

"Professor Wu and the others have moved here now?" Su Chen asked.

Upon hearing this, Fade Chen looked at Old Man Xiao and Xiao Chen who were sitting next to Su Chen, smacked his lips, not knowing whether he should say anything or not, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Go ahead and talk, there are no outsiders here!" Su Chen's smile widened, and he was very satisfied with Chen Fei's performance.

He did not disclose the matter of the research base just because of Mr. Xiao and Xiao Chen's identities. This alone is worthy of praise.

The old man and Xiao Chen did not have any strange expressions. They were not angry because of Chen Fei's behavior. Instead, they had smiles on their faces.

After receiving Su Chen's instructions, Chen Fei started talking without any hesitation.

"Professor Wu, with the help of Professor Wei and several mechanical engineers, has successfully manufactured the lithography machine, and the last problem in chip manufacturing has been successfully solved."

"Currently, with the collaboration of several mechanical engineers, three photolithography machines have been manufactured. Professor Wu and his colleagues are trying to build a mass production line, so they moved the entire laboratory to the factory area at the back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Xiao's voice rang out, "Xiao Fei, you just said that you made three lithography machines? Do you know the performance of these lithography machines?"

A hint of expectation flashed across the old man's face, and this scene happened to be seen by Su Chen.

"Uh~" Chen Fei scratched his head embarrassedly, "Grandpa, I don't know the specific performance of this lithography machine, but when they tested it, Professor Wu said that the lithography machine we made ourselves is better than that of ASML." "What? Are you serious? The performance of our own lithography machines is better than that of ASML?" Grandpa Xiao's voice couldn't help but rise by several decibels.

"Yes~ Professor Wu said so. You can ask him in person for details later." Chen Fei said truthfully.

"Hahahaha~ Great, that's really great!" Old Man Xiao patted his thigh and laughed out loud.

The old man's excitement made Su Chen and Xiao Chen beside him a little confused.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Su Chen couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.

"It's not a big deal, so it's okay to tell you. I can take this opportunity to show off the lithography machine we developed and manufactured."

In fact, things are very simple. As we all know, in recent years we have been competing with the bald eagle in various fields, and the bald eagle has also suppressed various domestic industries by virtue of its dominant position.

Just two days ago, in order to restrict the development of the domestic semiconductor industry, the Bald Eagle put pressure on the Dutch ASML lithography company, forcing them to interrupt the follow-up services for the ASML lithography machines exported to the country.

You should know that the domestic semiconductor industry basically relies on ASML's lithography machines. Although limited by chip technology, the country can only produce 18nm chips at most, it has also provided great help to the current domestic development.

However, if the subsequent services of the ASNL lithography machine are interrupted, it means that the lithography machine will be shut down directly after a problem occurs, which will be a disaster for the domestic semiconductor industry.

If it is true as Chen Fei said, that the performance of the lithography machine produced by Professor Wu and his team exceeds that of ASML, it will change the landscape of the entire global semiconductor industry.

By then, the country will no longer be affected by lithography machines, and research on various aspects of semiconductors will be accelerated a lot. The changes in this are unpredictable.

This is of great significance and can be said to be a revolution in the semiconductor industry.

Soon the sightseeing bus stopped in front of a four-story factory building. There was a group of security personnel from the park at the gate. Su Chen also recognized the leading team leader, Wang Gang, who had traveled abroad with him before.

When Wang Gang saw Su Chen and others coming, he immediately came forward to greet them.

"Boss, Brother Fei!" Wang Gang greeted them respectfully. As for Mr. Xiao and Xiao Chen, he didn't know them, so naturally he didn't say hello.

Su Chen nodded slightly, "Hmm~Are Professor Wu and the others in there now?"

"Professor Wu and Professor Wei are here. I'll go inform them right away." After Wang Gang said this, he was about to turn around and walk into the factory.

Su Chen quickly called Wang Gang, "No need~ We'll go in by ourselves, you go and do your work."

Upon hearing this, Wang Gang turned around and returned to his post without any hesitation.

After getting off the car, Su Chen took Mr. Xiao and others into the factory.

After entering, Su Chen discovered that the layout here was similar to that of Old Man Chen’s research institute before, except that the glass curtain wall prevented him from seeing what was inside.

Su Chen turned his head and looked at Chen Fei on the side, motioning him to lead the way. After all, it was Su Chen's first time here, and it would be so embarrassing if he took the wrong path.

What's more, the chip manufacturing environment must be a dust-free workshop, and if you break in rashly, it will have a certain impact on the chip.

Chen Fei understood immediately and took Su Chen and the other two into a small room. The layout of the room was very simple, with just a few sofas and chairs.

Chen Fei picked up the phone hanging on the wall, picked up the receiver, pressed a few buttons, muttered a few words into the receiver, and then hung up.

Just as Su Chen was about to ask what was going on, the seemingly smooth wall next to Chen Fei suddenly opened, like a mechanism.

"Sir, this is the exclusive channel used by Professor Wu and his team."

Su Chen didn't expect it to be so advanced. He had only seen such scenes in movies before.

After walking in, there was a washing and disinfection area. Before Su Chen could figure out what was going on, he saw Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Chen starting to wash.

Seeing this, Su Chen also started to learn it in an imitative manner.

Chen Fei got a few sets of dust-proof suits from somewhere and gave one set to each of the three people.

After changing into dust-proof clothing, Su Chen and his team finally entered the factory by passing through a hidden door.

As soon as they came in, they saw two people in dust-proof suits walking towards them. They were wrapped so tightly that except for their eyes, nothing else could be seen.

"Boss, why are you here? I was thinking of calling you in two days to tell you the good news!"

As soon as he heard the voice, Su Chen knew that the person coming was Professor Wu.

"I came back this time to see Professor Chen's project. I heard from Chen Fei that you are making very fast progress. Can you mass-produce chips now?" Su Chen said briefly and brought the topic back to chips.

When Professor Wu heard this, a light flashed in his eyes. As one of the few people in the entire research base who knew the inside story, he guessed that most likely Professor Chen's project had made a huge improvement or even had been successfully tested, otherwise Su Chen would not have come back.

It is normal that Professor Wu does not know about the changes in the park. At present, the mass production of chips is almost coming to an end, and he is fully committed to it, so naturally he does not care about other things.

"Relying on the lithography machines we developed and manufactured ourselves, there is no problem in mass-producing 10nm chips. However, there is still room for improvement in production capacity and chip yield. Give me another two months, and I can build the largest chip manufacturing base in the country!" Professor Wu said confidently.

Su Chen was just about to ask about the lithography machine when Old Man Xiao next to him spoke first.

"Professor Wu, I heard that the lithography machines you manufacture are more advanced than those made by ASNL. Can you explain them to me in detail?"

Hearing this slightly vicissitudes of life voice, Professor Wu was also stunned. He looked at Su Chen and asked who this person was?
Su Chen gave Professor Wu a look, walked aside and whispered an introduction in his ear.

When Professor Wu heard Mr. Xiao's name, he trembled all over and stammered, "Boss, is this true? How could that person come to us? You are not lying to me, are you?"

"Why would I lie to you? Just introduce me to the old man properly later. Don't be secretive!" Su Chen was speechless. Could it be that he was lying?

Professor Wu nodded heavily upon hearing this, and quickly walked to Mr. Xiao's side. After a pause, he said, "Mr. Xiao, let's talk while we watch!"

"Then thank you for your help!" Old Master Xiao nodded in response.

Professor Wu's introduction was very detailed, from chip research to the performance of lithography machines, he spoke very thoroughly, and even listed some technological breakthroughs in detail.

Su Chen, who was following behind, twitched his lips. Although he had said before that there was no need to hide anything, there was no need to explain it in such detail. Just give a general idea.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now. I just hope that the old man won’t be jealous when the time comes.
