Chapter 179: Assessment Task

The responsibilities of a Lithography Machine engineer are to be in charge of the installation, debugging, acceptance, and handling of various abnormal conditions for the Lithography Machine and related equipment.

They must also be responsible for the maintenance and repair of the Lithography Machine and the coating and developing equipment.

As well as other daily work regarding the maintenance and upkeep of other equipment.

All of this requires the Lithography Machine engineer to have an extremely deep understanding of the equipment structure and the operating principles of every component.

Among the three hundred and sixty senior engineers recruited by Tianqi Core Technology Company, only a small portion had worked in the Lithography Machine industry; more were equipment engineers from other industries who had switched fields.

But once one method is mastered, all methods are mastered.

With similar work experience and technical knowledge, everyone learned quite quickly.

Added to this was Su Xin's simple and clear explanation, combined with the Advanced Lithography Machine equipment used for hands-on practice, with every component disassembled and reassembled over and over, allowing everyone's understanding of the Lithography Machine to improve day by day.

And during the process of everyone's learning.

Su Xin would from time to time arrange for everyone to take exams on related knowledge, and test everyone's practical ability during the usual assembly of parts.

Based on comprehensive performance from multiple aspects, six team leaders were selected from the three hundred and sixty people, and everyone was divided into six groups.

Some were responsible for software programs, some for light source components, some for platform automation control, and so on, with each group focusing on studying different directions.

Further accelerating everyone's learning efficiency.

"Boss, we have been learning for so long, but we still don't know what process node this Lithography Machine is?"

One day, that slightly chubby young man of about thirty, who was also one of the five team leaders, Zuo Xinpeng, finally couldn't help but ask Su Xin.

After half a month of getting along, everyone had become quite familiar with Su Xin and knew that Su Xin had an easygoing temperament; although everyone still felt awe in their hearts, they were no longer timid when communicating with each other.

Su Xin grinned:

"This matter is still confidential for now; you all should keep learning, and you will naturally know after a while."

"Alright."

Zuo Xinpeng shrugged helplessly.

He then turned his gaze back to the Lithography Machine component in front of him, continuing to assemble the light source component with his group companions, and then proceeded to debug it.

In the repeated disassembly and assembly, they accidentally damaged some of the parts more than a hundred times; after all, many of the parts were too precise, and the slightest carelessness, causing wear and tear, would lead to the entire part being scrapped.

But Su Xin was always straightforward, directly arranging for spare parts to be replaced, and with a wave of his hand, he let everyone go all out to research.

This made everyone feel guilty, and at the same time, they studied with extreme seriousness.

The first group, led by Zuo Xinpeng, was responsible for the installation and debugging of the light source components; now, they could basically manage normal disassembly and installation, but it required a very long time of debugging to barely reach sufficient precision.

These things required a longer time to become familiar with.

After giving some instructions to the counselor Wang Xinyang, Su Xin left the Photoelectric Laboratory and headed to the nearby Biology Laboratory.

The research and development task for the Lithography Machine had ended.

The research and development for the Cancer Eradication Drug had just begun.

Next.

Every day, Su Xin only arranged for a little over an hour to answer questions and clear up doubts for the more than three hundred intern engineers in the Temporary Class, and to check everyone's learning progress.

The remaining time was basically spent in the Biology Laboratory, focusing on the research and development of the Cancer Eradication Drug.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had been learning for a month and already had a sufficient understanding of the Lithography Machine that Su Xin had developed.

This day, Su Xin directly issued a task:

"From today on, you must not only complete the assembly tasks of your respective groups, but also cooperate with each other to assemble the entire Lithography Machine, complete the debugging, and ensure the normal operation of the Lithography Machine."

"This can also be considered everyone's assessment task."

"I know that there are twenty-one days left until the New Year holiday, but you all... I am very sorry, the counselor should have notified you before, you all must spend this year in the Laboratory accompanying the Lithography Machine."

"The company has invested a lot in the Lithography Machine project, and you have also put in a lot these days; if you take a few days off now, I am afraid that the skills you have just mastered will be forgotten."

"Does anyone have any opinions on this?"

Everyone responded decisively: "No!"

This was not a lie.

At the beginning of their employment, the human resources specialist had already informed them of the relevant issues, and everyone was able to accept it calmly.

What's more, they had been employed for so long without officially starting work; not only had they been receiving high salaries, but they had also learned so much experiential knowledge of great value to themselves, and their abilities had been greatly improved—these were precious knowledge that could not be bought with any amount of money.

This made everyone full of gratitude toward Tianqi Group and Su Xin.

What did a few extra days of work matter?

Everyone also knew how rare the current opportunity was and were all willing to fight for it.

Many people nowadays lie flat at every turn, not because they are truly lazy or slack, but mainly because they see no hope even after struggling, and instead, they are ground down by despair time and time again, which extinguishes their fighting spirit.

But they were different.

Their prospects were bright.

Once they survived this hard learning period, they would become crucial core talents in the Semiconductor industry of Long Country, and no matter where they went, their benefits and treatment would never be bad.

Let alone not having a week off for the New Year, even if they worked all year round without a break, many people would be happy to do so.

The diligence of the people of Long Country is world-renowned.

"Good, thank you all for your hard work."

Su Xin smiled with gratification: "In the coming days, I will not come to guide you again; if you encounter any problems, you can try to discuss and solve them yourselves, and temper yourselves more."

"If you really cannot solve them, leave me a message on the Tianwei Butler, and I will find time to answer."

After giving some instructions.

Su Xin left the Photoelectric Laboratory.

After being busy in the Biology Laboratory for a day.

When he was about to go home after work, Su Xin received a video call from his parents for the first time in a long while.

"Son, the New Year is almost here. When are you coming back this year?"

As soon as the video call connected, his mother, Zhang Chunhua, said with a bright smile on her face.

Su Xin did not answer, but instead asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you looking younger and younger?"

This was not entirely flattery.

At this moment, after more than a year of skincare, Zhang Chunhua's skin was much more delicate and fair, and with her more refined attire, she looked much younger overall.

Whether in appearance or temperament, she did not look like a woman in her forties, but rather like someone in her thirties.

Hearing this, Zhang Chunhua's eyes narrowed into slits from smiling; although she had heard this from more than one person, her son's praise still made her feel very happy.

She waved her hand and said with some embarrassment:

"Not at all, I just dressed up a little."

"It's you, starting a business alone for over a year; it seems that not only have you earned money, but you've also become quite skilled at flattery."
