Chapter 317

Originally, Qin Miao could have let Liu Zhonglie bounce around for a few more days; after all, the computing institute company led by Liu Zhonglie is now in a state of accomplishing nothing, which wouldn't be bad for the nation's computer industry development.

Moreover, Engineer and his team all came from that computing institute, and they have feelings for it.

But… if Liu Zhonglie keeps jumping out to cause trouble, Qin Miao certainly won't let him off.

Just like this time.

Dragon Core No. 1, which has nothing to do with them, yet they want to come out and create a monopoly; after being refused by us, they secretly sabotage, letting foreigners evaluate us; these plots were all crushed, yet they are not discouraged, and even brought foreigners to inspect the production line, forcing our side to reveal technical details.

This act of pushing too far is really excessive; so… let's just kill them outright!

The garrison near Ha Cheng is very willing to help Qin Miao—this is the friendship forged from the 155mm howitzer back then! Moreover, Qin Miao didn't wrongly accuse Liu Zhonglie; this production line not only makes civilian Dragon Core No. 1, but also many military chips.

Liu Zhonglie forcing us to reveal production technical details shows he's connected with foreigners!

As for evidence… hehehe, searching Liu Zhonglie's home turned up a batch of foreign exchange— this isn't strange, right?

Director Zhou's whole body was trembling; Qin Miao has overturned the table!

Fortunately I didn't speak; it's always been Liu Zhonglie talking, and now… Qin Miao has dealt with Liu Zhonglie, so maybe we should let go? But we can't act against ourselves—our rank isn't something Qin Miao can move!

Leader Li is also adapting on the fly.

"Hmph, I said today Liu Zhonglie's behavior is so odd, insisting we talk technical details—turns out he's defected! I never expected it, never expected it, you Liu Zhonglie with your thick brows and big eyes, actually defected!"

"Leader Li, Leader Li, it's not like that, it's not like that!"

"Take him away!"

Leader Li waved his hand, watching Liu Zhonglie being taken away—but… how should we handle what comes next?

So many foreigners are still watching!

"Everyone, you should still remember the Western Bloc's ban, right?" Qin Miao looked at a group of foreigners: "Back when our country's crystal element industry was backward, how did the West treat us? Blockade, suppression, just fearing we would break through. Now we have advanced crystal element technology, and you lot want to come steal it? And openly steal it!"

Leader Li's face changed again, San Shui, is it appropriate for us to speak to foreign friends like this?

Diplomacy is no trivial matter, ah; offending these foreigners……

"No, Mr. Qin, that's not what you understand; we just want to learn about your technology. If we are satisfied, we will purchase in large quantities." Charles spoke.

"Understand the technology? Including the details? How many layers total for the mask, what stepper motor is used in this photolithography machine, even the production process of the photoresist…… Are you planning to purchase our products in large quantities, or do you want to steal our technology?"

"Of course it's to understand……"

"Great, tomorrow I'll go with you back to the Capital, fly to the United States, enter your Texas Instruments production workshop, check out your advanced technology, and moreover, I'll ask whatever I want and you'll answer! How about that?"

"Of course not, our advanced technology was developed with huge financial investment; how could we just let you look at it!"

"Leader Li, see? This is the two-faced hypocrisy of foreigners, a notorious double standard." Qin Miao said: "Looking at our technology, they take it for granted; us wanting to look at their technology is impossible! People like this with ulterior motives, Ha Gong Da does not welcome!"

After saying that, Qin Miao looked toward Engineer again.

"Engineer, take these guests and leave our factory. From now on, our production plant will be strictly confidential, refusing any visitors! Whether domestic or foreign, none allowed!"

"That's right, Comrade Qin Miao is correct." Leader Li quickly echoed: "We must not let foreigners steal our secrets."

"Hmph, your technology here is backward and not even worth our inspection!" The lofty Charles, now also feeling insulted: "We're leaving!"

"Yeah, the current technology is indeed backward. We also feel a bit ashamed; the next process node is 0.8 micrometer, and we are working hard."

Charles' steps stopped.

Backward? What a joke!

Now, the most advanced technology in Silicon Valley is only 1.5 micrometer, and due to immature processes, the yield is still low; the mature process capable of mass production is 3 micrometer.

Here?

We have already achieved one leap to 1 micrometer, and this is not the end; next is the 0.8 micrometer process! This marks the crystal element industry entering the nanometer era!

This……

His steps couldn't move. The muscles on his face twitched a few times; finally, he turned his head over: "We…… we Texas Instruments hope to purchase the East's advanced crystal element production equipment, to integrate our crystal element production process…… Mr. Qin, I admit, just now we were wrong."

Now, in the United States, whoever first masters the 1 micrometer production process will be able to have their fill of profit!

All Easterners widened their eyes.

These foreigners, indeed came to steal technology; seeing they couldn't steal it, they only then planned to spend money to buy!

Who said Eastern crystal element technology is backward?

At this moment, even Leader Li puffed out his chest, a feeling of shared honor surging through his whole body.

"Sorry, we don't sell."

Qin Miao gave the other party a glance: "If you think our crystal element production here is sufficiently advanced, you can send your crystal element design drawings over, and we will help with contract manufacturing; as for the production line…… at least three years later will we export abroad."

Back then, you the West used technology to blockade us; now we blockade you!

In three years, our technology will be even more advanced; needless to say 0.8 micrometer, maybe even 0.5 micrometer technology will appear; by then, only the 1 micrometer production line can be sold!

"Hmph, if you don't sell, fine; we already found out clearly that your company doesn't produce equipment, you just purchase from other units—we can go purchase from those other units!" Charles blurted out their true inner thoughts.

The Easterners present all changed expression; it's indeed possible, after all, many domestic enterprises are in difficult straits; hearing that foreigners want to purchase, they will definitely rush to sell, even daring to sell the craft and such!

"Any of these equipment used on our production line involves national defense secrets; without military approval, they cannot be sold! Besides, even if you bought them back, they'd be useless, after all, the equipment is just hardware; software debugging is more important."
