CHAPTER 1911: CHAPTER 998: A NEW ERA IS COMING

On the stage.

Ding Yue officially announced that Mist City Arts and Science University had mastered the 3-nanometer lithography machine technology. Immediately, the scene erupted with enthusiastic cheers and applause.

On various online platforms and in the live broadcast rooms, netizens clapped and exclaimed that Mist City Arts and Science University was "awesome."

"So cool, it’s our own 3-nanometer chip era."

"Mist City Arts and Science University is just awesome, directly ushering in a brand new era."

"I wonder what kind of mindset the foreigners have right now?"

"I just want to know, to what extent have the foreigners’ 3-nanometer chip research reached?"

"Wouldn’t our Mist City Arts and Science University’s lithography machine be considered world-leading?"

"Awesome, awesome. Just a couple of years ago, we developed 5-nanometer chips, and now it’s 3-nanometer, taking off."

"Really strong!"

"Honestly, I didn’t believe it at first, but now I do."

"They went straight to a press conference, so it seems this is real."

At this moment, the domestic netizens were nothing but happy.

But some people were not happy.

That’s right.

It was the overseas foreigners who, after seeing Mist City Arts and Science University’s press conference, found it unbelievable one after another and were extremely flustered because they all knew very well what it meant for Mist City Arts and Science University to have mastered the 3-nanometer lithography machine.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

The CEO of Intel Technology Company, Viktor, exclaimed in his office after watching Mist City Arts and Science University’s technology press conference live stream that it was impossible.

In reality.

Viktor knew perfectly well in his heart.

He kept saying it’s impossible, impossible, Mist City Arts and Science University couldn’t have mastered the 3-nanometer lithography machine. But how could Viktor not know that a university like Mist City Arts and Science University, with such strong research and development capabilities, had previously independently developed even 5-nanometer chips, and this time, it was most likely true; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to hold such a high-profile press conference.

"Boss, is this Mist City Arts and Science University really that strong?"

A senior executive under Viktor asked.

"What do you think?"

Viktor sighed and said, "Remember the earlier new energy vehicles? And the artificial intelligence robots, and the Metaverse competition, Mist City Arts and Science University defeated all the world’s top technology companies and universities."

What Viktor said was true.

In the global computer Metaverse competition, Mist City Arts and Science University defeated a number of universities, including Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Cambridge University.

Even earlier, the artificial intelligence robot developed by Mist City Arts and Science University, Big White, also defeated Google Company’s AI robot, AlphaGo.

And in the new energy automobile market, Feiyue · Future New Energy vehicles have already become mainstream worldwide.

"That’s true, this Mist City Arts and Science University is indeed quite impressive. Has Xia Country allocated most of the resources for education and research development to this Mist City Arts and Science University? But over the years, both Qinghua University and Yancheng University have been steadily improving."

The senior executive said with great doubt.

"As far as I know, this Mist City Arts and Science University is a private university, and since it’s a private university, it’s owned by a private enterprise. I think we, as well as other technology companies, should consider collaborating with this Mist City Arts and Science University."

Viktor mused, stroking his chin.

Since they have the leading technology advantage in chips, Intel Technology Company wouldn’t mind changing strategies. By collaborating with Mist City Arts and Science University and the Feiyue Group, Intel Technology Company’s future products would always remain at the forefront of the times. Only in this way can they avoid being left behind by the times.

"Boss, what about Island Electromechanical over there? And ASML?"

The senior executive asked.

"Depends on whether they can find a way to save themselves. If they do, we will continue our partnership with Island Electromechanical. If not, we will have to find another way out."

Viktor shook his head and said.

It had to be said, Viktor was a smart person.

Intel Technology Company was in the mid-lower end of the chip manufacturing process, so they could collaborate wherever chips were available, because what directly affected them was the chip supply chain, not the lithography machine.

What was directly affected by the lithography machine was companies like ASML in Europe, and Island Electromechanical.

After all, ASML Company specialized in making lithography machines, and Island Electromechanical specialized in producing chips.

Companies like Intel Technology Company and Nvidia Technology Company were still under ASML and Island Electromechanical’s influence, and the impact could be mitigated in some way.

Therefore.

At this time, the most anxious were Europe’s ASML and Island Electromechanical.

Although Island Electromechanical’s plants were on an island, most of the investors behind Island Electromechanical were from America.

"Fuck!"

"Mist City Arts and Science University has developed and manufactured the 3-nanometer lithography machine, what about ours?"

The bosses over in America were like monkeys jumping in anger, extremely frustrated.

If Ding Yue knew how frustrated those American bosses were, he would be overjoyed.
