Chapter 117 The International Situation Is Changing, and the Cunning Longguo People

Shenzhen City, Tengfei Industrial Park.

After several days of accumulation, there are already 500 kilograms of 98% pure silicon ingots, which is enough to refine polysilicon.

In the steel structure factory of Longxing Silicon Industry, Wei Hua, a golden quality purification technical talent, is directing the crushing of silicon ingots.

Pieces of silicon ingots were crushed into slag and thrown into the secondary purification smelting furnace.

"heating!"

The temperature of the smelting furnace increases.

When the temperature in the furnace reached 325 degrees, Wei Hua continued to direct: "The temperature is enough, add hydrogen chloride gas for secondary purification."

The words just fell.

The blue-quality talent responsible for controlling the machinery and equipment presses the button, and hydrogen chloride gas is instantly injected into the furnace.

The next second.

The slag in the furnace has changed.

Hydrogen chloride gas is highly acidic. The moment it comes into contact with slag, the silicon ingot slag begins to decompose into hydrogen, trichlorosilane, ferric chloride, aluminum trichloride, silicon tetrachloride and other gases.

Because the machine is sealed, the gases will not leak and will flow along the pipeline into the next purification area.

Wei Hua stared at the values ​​of the main smelting furnace and shouted without raising his head: "Gong Han, I'll leave the gas purification to you."

"no problem."

Han Ming also kept an eye on the machine's values ​​and responded without raising his head.

They are both golden-quality and purified talents. They all know each other's abilities and don't have to worry about the other party messing up.

Wei Hua is responsible for silica purification and silicon ingot purification, while Han Ming is responsible for gas purification and polysilicon growth. Each of them performs their own duties.

After Chen Xing used his "money power", there are currently six golden talents in Longxing Silicon Factory, 24 purple quality talents, and 230 blue quality talents.

Nearly three hundred people come to keep the factory running, and it's still a single production line, which is more than enough.

…

When the gas purification furnace reached its peak, Han Ming also directed the blue talents to start lowering the gas temperature in the furnace.

The current gases in the furnace include trichlorosilane, ferric chloride, aluminum trichloride and silicon tetrachloride, of which ferric chloride, aluminum trichloride and silicon tetrachloride are all impurities.

If you want to extract high concentrations of trichlorosilane, you need to lower the temperature.

Because the gas boiling point of trichlorosilane is 32 degrees, while the boiling points of ferric chloride, aluminum trichloride, and silicon tetrachloride are 315 degrees, 180 degrees, and 57 degrees respectively, the gas temperature can be easily separated when the temperature is lowered. High purity trichlorosilane gas still at the boiling point.

After the separation of high-concentration trichlorosilane gas is completed, it will all go to the polysilicon growth furnace for secondary heating.

"Han Gong, the gas in the furnace has reached its peak, do you want to heat it?"

Blue quality talent inquiry.

Standing behind them, Han Ming, who was also paying close attention to the various values ​​​​of the instrument, nodded, raised his voice and said: "Raise the temperature to 500."

"Raise the temperature to 500!"

Blue quality talents repeat one sentence.

During industrial operations, repeating the corresponding values ​​allows engineers to determine whether the operator misheard or entered the wrong value, reducing the occurrence of low-level errors.

"The temperature in the furnace is 300!"

"400!"

"500!"

"Add hydrogen to reduce!"

"Hydrogen gas injected!"

"The temperature in the furnace has increased, the value is 1100 degrees!"

"The temperature in the furnace has increased, the value is 1100 degrees!"

"It's rising!"

"800!"

"900!"

"1000!"

"The temperature in the furnace has reached the target temperature!"

When the temperature in the furnace reached 1100 degrees, Han Ming saw that all the values ​​of the equipment were normal, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no problem with the device.

All is going well with the gas purification.

At a high temperature of 1100 degrees, when high-concentration trichlorosilane encounters hydrogen, silicon, silicon chloride, and silicon tetrachloride will be generated.

At this temperature, only silicon is solid. The continuous high temperature and the reaction of high-concentration trichlorosilane with hydrogen will cause silicon to continue to deposit at the bottom. This is why this high-temperature reactor is called a polysilicon growth furnace, because it can really grow. Out of polysilicon!

"According to the production efficiency of this batch of equipment, it should be able to accumulate one hundred kilograms a week, right?"

Han Ming murmured to himself.

The equipment currently used in production is really too backward.

Both the submerged arc furnace and the growth furnace look like products from five years ago, and their power and efficiency cannot keep up with the mainstream.

…

the other side.

Kunpeng Company's Bantian base headquarters.

After Ren Guofei left Longxing Technology Company, he immediately fulfilled his promise to Chen Xing and called Wang Ruijun, who was in charge of equipment procurement.

Wang Ruijun's identity is not simple. He is called Mouse within Kunpeng Company.

Of course, this rat is not that rat. There is no question about his identity, stance and character. Instead, the industry praises his ability to "steal equipment".

Because the West has always set restrictions on Longguo companies, especially Kunpeng Company, it is basically impossible to buy high-end equipment, but Wang Ruijun changed his mind about purchasing equipment.

Aren’t you restricting the purchase of equipment?

Then we buy parts!

Refer to the structure of the old equipment and use new equipment parts to build it piece by piece!

Wang Ruijun's role is to organize a group of assembly engineers to assemble the parts found from everywhere. This is also the main source of high-end equipment for Kunpeng Company.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Wang Ruijun walked into the office. He was a dark-skinned middle-aged man.

Ren Guofei opened his mailbox, checked the list of equipment sent by Chen Xing, and called to Wang Ruijun: "Come here and take a look at this batch of equipment, and see if you can get some back as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Wang Ruijun quickly came to Ren Guofei's side and looked at the list of purchased items on the computer screen.

"Ultrafine particle shear mixer, molecular dispersion equipment, reaction kettle, solvent removal machine, photoresist baking oven..."

"Old...Boss, so many equipments?"

Wang Ruijun was stunned for half a second and almost stuttered when speaking.

There are so many equipments. Although he is a "rat", he is not a "camel". Where can he get so many equipments?

"It's a bit too much."

Ren Guofei echoed and continued: "But there's nothing we can do about it. You know how severely restricted Longguo's companies are now."

If he hadn't been restricted from purchasing, he would have spent tens of billions to buy equipment. There would be no need to set up a parts assembly department.

Wang Ruijun was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "That's right. I'll try my best to get the parts one by one. What fields are these devices in? I can arrange for people to purchase them."

"Photoresist Production."

"Understood."

"We should try our best to get products from neon island countries or Germany. Equipment performance is the top priority."

"I see."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll forward your email to you. You can do your best. Money is definitely not an issue."

"Then I'll go out first."

"etc!"

Just as Wang Ruijun was about to leave, Ren Guofei suddenly stopped him and asked, "Small particle accelerators, look where they are for sale and get one for me."

Wang Ruijun: "..."

Forget about ultrafine particle shear mixers, molecular dispersion equipment, reaction kettles, solvent removal machines, and photoresist baking ovens, he also needs to build a small particle accelerator!

Is he Doraemon?

Even if he is Doraemon, he can't take out the particle accelerator!

"Boss Ren, the particle accelerator is too high-end. Even if we have the parts, no one will assemble it!"

"and!"

"Particle accelerators are all customized and cannot be purchased through ordinary channels!"

Wang Ruijun spoke in a serious tone, expressing his helplessness about the particle accelerator. This thing was simply not a device he could get his hands on.

"Is it so difficult..."

Ren Guofei murmured to himself, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go out first and get as much photoresist equipment as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Ren."

Wang Ruijun left the office quickly, and Ren Guofei also forwarded the mailing list to his mailbox. He then took out his mobile phone, opened the address book list and started to shake people.

Although I don't know why Chen Xing wants a particle accelerator, since he said he wants it, it must have some use.

As for the price…

Longxing Technology will take care of it.

…

at the same time.

Shenzhen star hotel.

Rebus did not rush back to the imperial capital, but first sent an email to Kiran Rao, CEO of the Rice Research Institute of Ancient Elephant Kingdom.

The content of the email is very simple, get the equipment and particle accelerator on the list.

After sending one, he continued to send.

Ruan Xingqiang, CEO of the Vietnam Monkey Country Research Institute, Maran Nian, CEO of the Myanmar Research Institute, Padjongpa Satru, CEO of the Thailand Research Institute...

The Southeast Asia where the rice company is located, as well as the research institute management of Ancient Xiang Kingdom, all received this email.

These local CEOs also knew very well and did not ask about the equipment. Instead, they directly checked the information and purchased the required equipment.

Most of them are from the middle class, and it was Rebus who pulled them into the upper class. Therefore, they also know very well that if Rebus does not invest, their status will immediately drop sharply and return to the corresponding class.

Neon island country.

Ultrafine shear mixer supplier.

Boss Kimura Jiro looked at the equipment reservation email and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.

Ancient Xiang Kingdom…

He endured it!

Guxiang Institute of Technology still has something to offer. It is a top institution in the world and it makes sense to train a few science and engineering talents.

but! Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand also study photoresist?

He couldn't help but want to ask, have you transformed yourself from a tourist country into an industrial country?

If you haven’t transformed yet, why should you buy an ultrafine particle shear mixer?

supply?

Still not available?

Kimura Jiro pondered for a moment, and then made up his mind: "As long as it is not a Dragon Kingdom enterprise, it should be able to sell it. Selling a few more devices can also stop the revenue loss."

The United States does not allow equipment to be sold to the Dragon Kingdom. Now companies from the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, Myanmar, Vietnam Monkey Country, and Thailand are buying it. It is impossible for them not to make money. All businessmen are here to make money.

If it weren't for the pressure from the West, he would have bought 180 units to Longguo Enterprises.

This scene of the ultrafine shear mixer supplier also happened in the offices of CEOs of other equipment suppliers.

Longguo Enterprise doesn’t sell it, right?

Will the ancient Xiangguo enterprise be sold?

Can Myanmar companies be sold?

Will Yuehou Enterprise be sold?

The supplier CEOs were all hesitating to make a decision. Some of them had already guessed it, while others chose to act dumb.

As the saying goes.

If you don’t make money, it’s unforgivable!

If the West hadn't forced suppliers, who wouldn't want to sell equipment and make money?

However, some particle accelerator manufacturers are confused now. This is the first time they have received orders from Southeast Asia.

The deputy director of CERN looked at the inquiry email and couldn't help but look at the beautiful assistant beside him and said: "Monkey Country, do you know this country?"

"have no idea."

The beautiful assistant shook her head and continued: "I have never heard of this company. They actually want to buy a particle accelerator?"

"Could it be a state-owned enterprise?"

"possible."

"I have never heard of Houmi Company. It may be endorsed by the state. Otherwise, how could ordinary companies afford the high cost of particle accelerators?"

"Look at the accelerator they are talking about. It is actually going to be small. If you ask for a quote, it may be a good amount of research funding."

"Good director."

After the assistant left, the deputy director looked puzzled and called someone to search for the details of "Hou Mi Company".

It’s a bit incredible that an unknown company buys a particle accelerator.

With the fate of Ren Guofei and Rebus, equipment suppliers around the world have varying degrees of confusion these days.

Some of them woke up and reported it.

Some of them pretend to be stupid and make money.

Some of them simply ignored it.

Far across the ocean, in the United States, some people have already received the news.

Inside the House of Representatives.

An emergency meeting was held.

"Currently, companies from many countries have placed orders for photoresist equipment. I think this matter may be related to Longguo Enterprises."

"It is impossible for local companies in Yuehou to purchase photoresist production equipment. I have checked and it is a foreign-funded enterprise!"

"Who injected the capital?"

"High probability of Dragon Kingdom Enterprise!"

"It's indeed them, the cunning Dragon Kingdom people!"

“Are we now going to restrict equipment exports?”

"I have asked suppliers to tighten the rules and not allow suppliers to sell privately, but some suppliers seem to have already shipped the goods."

"Can it be recovered?"

"It's very difficult, but fortunately there are only two suppliers."

"That's good. The photoresist formula and talents must be protected. Also, how is Martina's investigation? Who produced the Qingzhou chip?"

"With a high probability of excluding Korean Star Group, only Loongson International is left. She has already gone to Dragon Country. But what I don't understand is that they don't have EUV lithography machines and have no production capabilities at all, so why are they pointing the finger at it?"

"No! It is possible to produce it. Do you remember the multiple exposure idea proposed by Dr. Witte? What if Loongson International really masters it?"

The House of Representatives was silent for several seconds.

They couldn't believe that this kind of technology would be mastered by Dragon Kingdom enterprises. This was a technology that even their top photolithography professors had not completed!

After a few seconds of silence, the middle-aged man with a hooked nose sitting in the main seat said in a deep voice: "I have sent people to help Apple develop 14-nanometer chips. It is time to put some pressure on Longxing Technology. If they cannot produce mobile phones normally, , that means..."

He paused for a moment and said in a bad tone: "It is indeed the OEM of Loongson International. We need to impose sanctions immediately!"

"Then tighten the photoresist equipment first?"

"As soon as possible!"

"I'll have someone do it right away."

They say they are not afraid, but that is impossible. Photoresist is the most important material in the chip production process.

If the photoresist is broken, then Longguo will be equivalent to having the production capacity of semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresist collagen materials.

Regardless of whether it is the most advanced technology or not, once it has this production capacity, it means that chip sanctions have weakened, giving Longguo semiconductor companies a chance to breathe. This is something that even the West is not willing to see.

While tightening their grip, they are also keeping a close eye on the Longguo market, waiting for Longxing Technology Company's self-certification.

Once it is confirmed that Longxing Technology Company cannot independently produce chips, then Loongson International will suffer a lot.

While the international situation was changing and undercurrents were surging, Chen Xing sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, and a system prompt rang in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[It has been detected that a new company has been registered on the host. The company attribute is positioned as photoresist. The talent market has opened recruitment of talents in the photoresist field! 】
