Chapter 274: 3D Printing (Part II) Wishing Everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

Inside the shipping container, three pieces of equipment of varying sizes were revealed.

After Xiao Wu finished the Task, seeing him extend his palm, it leaped up from the ground and landed precisely in Sun Cheng's palm.

With a faint smile, Sun Cheng put it back into his pocket, his gaze turning toward the three pieces of equipment revealed from the shipping container before him.

The three pieces of equipment in the container were also brought back by him from the other world; the two identical ones on the left, which looked to be nearly three meters tall and six or seven meters long, were none other than two Tinscan extreme ultraviolet (EUVL) production platforms modified by the Decepticon Workers.

This was a 22-nanometer-class lithography machine manufactured by the Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML, and it was also the most advanced lithography machine Sun Cheng could purchase in the other world.

After being modified by the Decepticon Workers, it was now capable of providing a precision line width and spacing of 14 nanometers, with a nanometer-scale direct-writing efficiency for semiconductors nearly 170% higher than the original equipment; it could be called a high-precision semiconductor device akin to a national treasure.

However, if one compared them to the third piece of equipment on the right, which was almost a size larger than the other two combined, these two Tinscan platforms modified by the Workers were not even worth mentioning.

"Circular Stereolithography Machine!"

Suddenly uttering these words, Sun Cheng walked slowly to the equipment, reached out to touch the machine in front of him, and a sharp glint flickered in his eyes.

The name of this equipment was indeed "Circular Stereolithography Machine," though compared to this name, he preferred to call it a "D Printer."

This was because the equipment before Sun Cheng had been designed by the Decepticon Workers at his request, manufactured to facilitate his large-scale production of some high-tech products in reality.

Although this D Printer before him was far inferior in performance to the equipment used to manufacture robots inside his Base No. 2, it was absolutely not something that could be mentioned in the same breath as those so-called D printing devices designed by humans on Earth.

How should one put it? The gap between the two was like that between a conceptual draft and a finished product; the technological generation gap between them was certainly no less than two or three generations.

"This is a real treasure..."

His fingers, reaching toward the D Printer in front of him, could not help but tremble slightly, and Sun Cheng's face was full of excitement.

These three machines were all brought back from the other world specifically for his layout in reality.

Beside them, those two Tinscan platforms already upgraded to the 14-nanometer class were the most advanced lithography machines that not every country could buy, even looking at the real world; for his strategy of starting with semiconductor memory, the benefits were enormous.

According to Sun Cheng's understanding, ASML not only engaged in a massive sales ban against China in the world of Transformers.

In the world where he currently resided, this Dutch enterprise had actually been controlled by well-known European and American semiconductor giants like Intel, Western Digital, and Micron Technology more than a decade ago.

In recent years, the highest-spec 14-nanometer-class lithography machines produced by ASML were likewise not sold to any semiconductor enterprises other than Intel, Western Digital, and Micron Technology, and the discriminatory treatment between European/American and Asian enterprises was obvious.

Dozens of semiconductor companies in China could at best buy 22-nanometer-class lithography equipment from ASML, and the price was more than 30% higher than for European and American enterprises; as for higher-level lithography machines, they couldn't even dream of them, as they were also playing the game of technological blockade.

And the other D Printer had an even greater function.

One only needed to input the design, data, and information of the product to be produced into its central processor, while providing sufficient raw materials, and it, equipped with hundreds of robotic arms inside, could automatically manufacture thousands of products ranging from firearms to electronic equipment and even high-precision products, and its manufacturing efficiency was extremely high.

According to tests Sun Cheng conducted in the other world, running at full capacity, it could simultaneously manufacture thirty-six 1T hard drives in one thousand seven hundred and eighty-four seconds, producing one hard drive every forty-seven or forty-eight seconds; this efficiency was only stronger, not weaker, even when compared to that so-called most efficient semi-automated hard drive production line that Seagate invested seven hundred million US dollars in in Ohio, United States.

If it were replaced with products with simpler structures like firearms, the efficiency of this D Printer could be even higher.

Hanyi moved closer and also arrived in front of this 3D Printer, watching it intently.

It seemed to have developed some interest in this equipment, but it soon withdrew its gaze and quietly stood guard beside Sun Cheng.

Sun Cheng ignored it and just stood quietly in front of the D Printer, touching the cold outer wall of the equipment.

After a good while, he withdrew his gaze.

Using such a divine tool to manufacture semiconductor memory would be too wasteful; semiconductor memory like hard drives could be fully produced by some machinery and equipment produced in this world.

For this D Printer, manufacturing more precise equipment such as robots was what it should be doing.

However, before the production line problem was solved in reality, letting it temporarily produce hard drives for Cybertron Technology Company could at least save him quite a bit of time.

"... It is time to let the humans of this world have a taste of the manufacturing technology of the planet Cybertron!"

After rubbing his palm lingeringly on the equipment for a good while, Sun Cheng slowly withdrew his fingers and secretly made this decision in his heart.

And for him, the Cybertron Technology Company he founded in the real world was also due for some action!

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

After boss Sun Cheng personally gave instructions, Wang Lu and the others were like clockwork; with sufficient financial support, after recruiting twenty or thirty more technical backbones who had worked in the industry for many years in just a few days, Cybertron Technology Company, an enterprise with absolutely no fame in the industry, finally began to take action!

"Prepare to upload our products!"

Several different versions of cloud drive clients based on computers and mobile apps, after completing the filing with the Computer Industry Department, were uploaded to numerous internet platforms and mobile Malls without stopping, after having been tested for more than a month, with vulnerabilities constantly modified and checked, and confirmed to have no major problems.

No one knew that after waiting for the review to pass, a product that was about to cause a huge sensation in this world was about to meet the world.

PS:

I broke my promise of two updates yesterday; today the whole family is together, and I am very happy.

I drank quite a bit of alcohol and my head is still spinning, but having worked hard from six-thirty until now, the two chapters are finally finished, and I am sending them together!

Going to sleep, wishing everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
