Chapter 585 Reinventing the Wheel Problem
To make a high-power laser, it is necessary to make good reflectors, turbo fans, high-voltage power supplies, and transformers. To make good reflectors, you must have good materials...

They continue to push up layer by layer, and they can only do it themselves, and other companies can't help at all, because they are already the top in the country in these things.

Such an approach is naturally costly. The company's R&D expenditure this year has reached more than 70 billion, and next year's R&D expenditure will definitely exceed [-] billion.

This is to be expected, scientific research has historically been expensive.

In the previous life, a certain computer assembly factory saw the prosperity of the science and technology sector, and wanted to go to collect money, but it was directly embarrassing. It organized a day trip to the science and technology sector, which was ridiculed by the people of the whole country.

The ratio of R&D investment to the income of each period is so low, and you still claim to be engaged in scientific research, how shameless?
For Yang Dongsheng, the good news is that they don't have to wait until the day when the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is made to generate income.

EUV has a narrow range of applications, but high-power lasers have a wide range of applications.

High-precision coating and polishing technology are also widely used.

Moreover, the technology developed for the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine can also be used in the deep ultraviolet lithography machine.

Plasma polishing can achieve picometer-level precision, so first achieve nanometer precision, and the lenses required for polishing deep ultraviolet lithography machines must be sufficient.

In addition, they don't need to follow the route from lenticular lens to reflective lens like the previous life of ASML. On the deep ultraviolet lithography machine, reflective lens can be used directly.

After all, the upper and lower surfaces of the lens need to be polished, and the mirror only needs to polish one reflective surface, without considering the lens material.

It can greatly reduce R&D and manufacturing costs.

Aiming at researching extreme ultraviolet lithography machines and promoting the scientific research and development of the entire company, this is the fundamental meaning of Yang Dongsheng's plan, which is a bit similar to the Star Wars plan in the United States.

For Yang Dongsheng, the equipment level is actually not the most difficult. After all, things like vacuum pumps, bearings, transformers, high-voltage power supplies, optical lenses, and machine tools have been involved in Yang Dongsheng's company before, and they have already reached the top level in China. Level.

For Yang Dongsheng, the most difficult thing is the chemical industry he has never been involved in, the photoresist and hydrogen fluoride needed for semiconductor production...

For Yang Dongsheng, this field was completely blinded, and he didn't even know where to start.

But Yang Dongsheng had to get involved in this field, because these raw materials were mainly monopolized by the Japanese.

Needless to say, the relationship between the foot pot chicken and the eagle sauce, the foot pot chicken is even more active than the eagle sauce on the issue of containing the big eastern countries.

Half a month passed quickly, and the inauguration ceremony and visit went very smoothly, but something went wrong when it came to the expert discussion.

After a group of semiconductor experts spoke, an old man with white hair and glasses went up, who looked familiar.

"The visit these few days has shocked me!" The old man smiled, and Yang Dongsheng couldn't see any shock on the old man's face, so he knew that the next thing would not be good, "But there are still some problems, I am very happy It is a pity to see again, the problem of reinventing the wheel! We have repeatedly emphasized that we must resolutely put an end to this kind of problem..."

Yang Dongsheng finally remembered who the speaker was—Professor Wu, an economist who advocated privatization for the Dongyue Society. Yang Dongsheng remembered that he didn't invite him.

Don't reinvent the wheel is a very popular argument in domestic economic circles around 2000.

On the surface, it seems that the money should be spent on useful places, not to engage in redundant construction.

However, Western developed countries have already occupied all high-end industries by virtue of their first-mover advantages. Are we going to give up these industries and not do any high-end industries?
An ordinary wheel is very cheap and easy to manufacture, but chips, aero engines, and lithography machines are not wheels, and they cannot be manufactured overnight. Once such products are banned, they will not be manufactured in a short time.

Comparing high-end manufacturing to reinventing the wheel is purely a rhetoric launched by foreign capital in cooperation with domestic comprador forces to attack domestic high-end industries.

To put it bluntly, let us all be low-end assemblers with peace of mind, just like the comprador capital who launched Professor Wu's computer assembly factory.

Professor Wu finally ended his speech with a posture of mourning his misfortune and angering him indisputably.

"Fucking good at acting!" Yang Dongsheng snorted coldly.

The host is about to invite the next expert to speak according to the topic.

Yang Dongsheng walked directly onto the stage, "Sorry, I have to interrupt!"

Another expert who was about to take the stage smiled, made a gesture of invitation to Yang Dongsheng, and sat back in his seat again!

Yang Dongsheng turned his face to the audience, "I heard that ignorant argument again just now! What is reinventing the wheel? According to this point of view, the Americans made the atomic bomb, shouldn't we make another atomic bomb? This shameless I don’t know why some people dare to say it again and again in a grandiose way!”

Professor Wu stood up and wanted to intervene, but Yang Dongsheng pressed his hand at him, signaling him to stay calm.

"Professor Wu just talked about economic laws, and I can tell you a law I discovered right now!" Yang Dongsheng took out a dual-core chip for servers displayed this time, "It's just such a chip, with an operating system! We made it Before, IBM dared to sell 300 million units, and the after-sales service was extremely poor! After we built it, IBM immediately cut the price by half, and recently cut the price by a third! China is now the cheapest country for IBM’s servers of the same level, cheaper than the United States If it is lower, Internet companies across the country will benefit from it! The same thing happens with excavators, cold rolling mills and other equipment. As long as we can manufacture them, the price of imported products will be reduced immediately, and the service attitude will be better. This is what I found Regularity! Therefore, we must not only continue to do it, but also make it bigger for Professor Wu's so-called repeated invention of the wheel!"

"Well said!" Director Jiang from the audience took the lead in applauding.

Professor Wu shook his head helplessly, as if everyone was drunk and the only one sober.

After the seminar was a reception.

Director Jiang walked up to Yang Dongsheng with a glass of wine in his hand, "I'm encouraged by what you said just now! These economic people have read a few foreign books, and they have only a half-knowledge, so they jump out and give advice everywhere! Misleading the country and the people!"

"I'm afraid that some people don't have a half-knowledge, but knowingly commit crimes! They want to learn from South America and become the Chinese version of Chicago boys!" Yang Dongsheng said.

"He deserves it too!"

After Director Jiang walked away, Professor Wu walked up to Yang Dongsheng, "Boss Yang misunderstood me just now, and my speech was not aimed at you!"

"Really?" Yang Dongsheng smiled, "But what I just said was aimed at you!"

Professor Wu was a little embarrassed, but he still laughed and said, "In addition to participating this time, on behalf of Mr. Liu, I invited Mr. Yang to participate in this year's Dongyue Industry Research Association's year-end conference!"
