Chapter 178: Rest Assured, We Are Mentally Prepared

The time arrived at the end of November.

The 26th floor of the Yonghui Building, headquarters of the Tianqi Group.

The three hundred and sixty newly hired engineers, who were also members of the Tianke Academy Temporary Class, were all sitting in a large conference room at this time.

Wang Xinyang, an employee of the Tianke Academy and also a counselor for the Temporary Class, stood on the podium.

"After yesterday's day of study, I believe everyone has gained a certain understanding of the Tianqi Group's culture and rules and regulations."

"For the next period of time, everyone will enter the formal learning stage."

"Here, I would like to reiterate that the position you are all going to hold is that of an engineer at Tianqi Core Technology, a subsidiary of the Tianqi Group."

"And Tianqi Core Technology is a semiconductor enterprise whose main business is the research, development, and production of the Lithography Machine. It is a core enterprise in the Tianxin Industrial Park, which is strongly supported by our country, and it shoulders an important historical mission to lead the rise of the Long Country semiconductor industry chain and catch up to Western levels."

"Every one of you will be an engineer talent cultivated by Tianqi Core Technology, and in the future, you will become the most important and top-tier engineers in the Long Country semiconductor industry, and even more so, the pillars of the future of the Long Country semiconductor industry."

At this moment, a slightly chubby young man in the front of the crowd, who looked to be about thirty years old, raised his hand. After Wang Xinyang looked over, he smiled and asked:

"Counselor Wang, can you whisper to us whether the boss has already successfully developed an Advanced Lithography Machine?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else looked at the counselor Wang Xinyang on the podium with burning gazes, anticipating that exciting answer.

Previously, when the Tianqi Core Technology Company announced the mass recruitment of engineers, the industry had such speculations. Many people made the decision to abandon their original jobs for this very reason, and some even gave up their salaries and bonuses just to come to Tianjing for the interview.

Both for the incomparably brilliant prospects.

And to ride this tailwind when the Long Country semiconductor industry truly rises, following the Tianqi Core Technology Company to soar into the sky.

On the podium, Wang Xinyang faced everyone's burning gazes and shook his head with a wry smile:

"Everyone, since the boss hasn't announced this news, it means it belongs to confidential information. How could a regular employee like me be qualified to know?"

"Anyway, judging from the various technologies announced previously, the research and development progress of the Lithography Machine should be very smooth; successful development is only a matter of time."

"Today, the boss is going to start teaching you personally; perhaps he will reveal news in this regard. Everyone, please be sure to remain calm when the time comes."

These words made many people laugh.

That slightly chubby young man smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have long been mentally prepared for the boss's miraculous performance and won't be stunned."

Someone on the side also echoed:

"That's right, even if the boss tells us in a moment that he has successfully developed a spaceship, I believe everyone will remain calm."

"After all, with the boss's ability, no matter what miraculous thing he develops, it is very normal."

The group joked for a while.

Wang Xinyang put on a serious face and said:

"Jokes aside, in the boss's class later, you must still maintain discipline and try not to interrupt casually."

"Although the boss has a kind personality, his time is very tight. If time is wasted on idle chatter, the time for lecturing will be reduced accordingly, which is no small loss for everyone."

"However, you don't need to be too nervous. If there are any points of confusion during the lecture, you can record them first."

"The boss will arrange Q&A time every so often to try to ensure that everyone can understand."

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Wang Xinyang checked the time and announced:

"Alright, it is already nine-thirty. Everyone, take a break freely, and return here before ten o'clock. The boss will give you your first lesson, and you must not be late."

The group dispersed while talking.

It was ten o'clock in the morning.

Everyone returned to the conference room.

"Click!"

At this moment, the sound of a door lock turning rang out. Everyone hurriedly sat up straight, just like elementary school students waiting for a teacher to check their posture.

Su Xin pushed the door open and walked in.

Wang Xinyang on the podium immediately went up to meet him, handing over items such as a headset and a remote control.

After putting on the headset and walking onto the podium, Su Xin smiled and greeted everyone.

"Hello everyone, I am Su Xin."

The group immediately and consciously began to applaud.

In every corner of the conference room, high-definition rotating cameras were installed to film all of this as subsequent lecture videos.

"Time is tight, so I won't get to know you one by one; I will directly explain today's lesson to you."

Su Xin pressed the remote control in his hand.

On the large screen behind him, the previously prepared PPT document was immediately displayed.

And in front of everyone below the podium, there was also a small-to-medium-sized display screen, synchronously showing the image from the large screen on the podium, making it convenient for everyone to watch and learn.

"Before coming here, I roughly understood your profiles. Many people present have not worked in industries related to Lithography Machine manufacturing before, and perhaps do not understand the Lithography Machine very well yet."

"Therefore, I will start from the basic operating principles and structural components of the Lithography Machine."

"The Lithography Machine, also known as the Mask Aligner, is the core equipment for manufacturing chips. Its principle is similar to photo printing; it uses high-energy light exposure to print precise patterns from a photomask onto a silicon wafer."

"Based on this principle, one of the most core components of the Lithography Machine is the light source."

"It requires not only ultra-high precision control but must also ensure sufficient energy..."

While explaining, Su Xin pressed the remote control to switch the PPT screens, dismantling the massive Lithography Machine equipment into small components and explaining them to everyone from shallow to deep.

This allowed everyone to have an increasingly deep understanding of the structure and principles of the Lithography Machine.

On the first day, Su Xin lectured for two hours, assigned exam homework to everyone, and arranged for the counselor to be responsible for checking and supervising.

For the following consecutive week, he set aside two hours every morning to lecture, while simultaneously arranging for Tianke Academy employees to turn the videos into different courses for all Scholars to watch freely, and also opened temporary permissions for members of the Temporary Class, allowing everyone to study and consolidate freely.

The reason for opening permissions to all Scholars of the Tianke Academy was to give others a chance; if anyone wanted to adjust their position internally, they could apply to transfer to the Tianqi Core Technology Company after self-studying the relevant knowledge.

After lecturing on theoretical knowledge for a full week, Su Xin brought everyone to the Photoelectric Laboratory, letting everyone try to dismantle and install the various components of the Lithography Machine with their own hands.

Familiarizing themselves with the Lithography Machine through practical operation.

Ordinary Lithography Machine manufacturing companies do not have such extravagant conditions; after all, the vast majority of the components inside are extremely expensive, and once damaged, they would face significant losses.

Moreover, even without damage, given the precision of a Lithography Machine, reassembling it after a complete disassembly is quite troublesome, requiring dozens of senior engineers to spend several months.

It is both time-consuming and labor-intensive.

With such a high price to pay for a single practice session, who could bear it?

Or perhaps simply not reassemble it at all, and instead take an Advanced Lithography Machine worth hundreds of millions of Long Coins and use it as a practice item for the engineers?

Only the wealthy and imposing Su Xin could afford to do so.
