When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

The Struggle Agreement incident at the Semiconductor R&D Center was quickly investigated.

With Wang Donglai in charge, the investigation went smoothly. It didn't take a whole day at all. In just three hours, everything was completely clear.

The results of the investigation also surprised Ruan Wei.

The emergence of the struggle agreement is not as voluntary as advertised.

Which employee is willing to work overtime? It's fine if they are willing to pay overtime pay. There are also many people who are willing to work overtime for the sake of money and waste their lives. But if it becomes free overtime, everyone will feel unhappy.

This is human nature, and it is the same even if Galaxy Technology offers such high wages and benefits.

This struggle agreement was proposed by a team leader who led other employees to it.

Finally, with the encouragement of other managers, all R&D personnel in the R&D center signed "voluntarily".

When Ruan Wei heard it, it became a great story that showed that the employees understood the company's pressure and were willing to develop together with the company and overcome difficulties together.

If Wang Donglai had not come, this beautiful story would have probably spread throughout the entire group.

in the office.

"Wa, please make a development plan based on the current technological civilization."

"Take me into consideration as well. It would be best if we could influence human civilization comprehensively and raise its level as soon as possible."

"Of course, this plan must try to avoid causing unrest in the world."

"That's about it."

Wang Donglai instructed Wa.

"Okay, boss, I'll make sure to complete the task."

A virtual figure suddenly appeared in front of Wang Donglai.

Although it is a bit blurry, it still has a certain three-dimensional feel.

Seeing this scene, Wang Donglai immediately became interested.

"This is?"

"Boss, this is a set of void imaging projection technology I designed."

While introducing, Wa was demonstrating various movements.

"That's right. We can allocate some of our computing resources to this. Although the Void Imaging Technology is not as important as other projects, it is enough to use it as a gimmick."

Wang Donglai nodded and immediately assigned another task to Wa.

He naturally also knew the secret of void imaging technology, which utilized the principle of total reflection of light to form an imaging phenomenon under specific conditions.

When light is emitted from a dense cutoff to a sparse medium, the incident angle is greater than the critical angle, and the light will be totally reflected, forming a void image.

This is just the most basic technical principle.

This technology often appears in science fiction movies and TV dramas, usually in conjunction with AI technology to humanize the intelligent AI and transform it into various appearances.

The image of Wa at this time is a little girl wearing Ming Dynasty Hanfu.

"Boss, can you add another set of servers?"

"The space is really too small. I can't move around at all. It's so uncomfortable."

"Or, relax some of the network restrictions!"

Wa's voice is also a clear childish voice, without any cold or mechanical feeling.

Wang Donglai did not make a decision immediately, but changed the subject and said, "Finish the work I asked you to do first. The Earth is still too small. This is just our starting point. Sooner or later we will build a space fleet of our own and explore the unknown in the universe. The sooner you do this, the sooner you can gain true freedom."

Wa's image suddenly changed from a little girl wearing Ming Dynasty Hanfu to a soldier in military uniform. She saluted Wang Donglai and accepted the task.

"Boss, make sure you complete the task!"

Wang Donglai nodded again and said nothing more.

And this time.

There was a knock on the door.

The virtual portrait suddenly disappeared and reappeared on the computer screen, but this time it had turned into a fluttering butterfly, flying in a sea of ​​flowers.

"Come in!"

Ruan Wei pushed the door open and walked in.

"Chairman, this is the complete report of this incident."

Ruan Wei walked up to Wang Donglai with a guilty look on his face and handed him a document with both hands.

Wang Donglai did not open it, because he had already investigated the details through Wa.

"Brother Ruan, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so polite between you and me."

"I know this incident has nothing to do with you. It was not you who did it."

"But, to be honest, I'm still a little disappointed."

"This incident exposed a lot of problems. At least, there are some problems with your management, Brother Ruan."

"I don't believe you didn't have doubts about this struggle agreement, but you still sent it to me."

"You know that I don't like these practices and I hate it when these situations occur within the company, but you still have a fluke mentality."

"You probably thought that the disturbance caused by the photolithography factory was too big and the group encountered difficulties, so you thought of using this method as a stepping stone to overcome this difficulty."

"But, I want to say that you guessed wrong, Brother Ruan."

"We have no shortage of money!"

"We don't lack support from above!"

"We have no shortage of talent!"

"For many companies, letting employees work overtime for free is a good way to reduce costs and increase efficiency, but we are different."

"There is a saying on the Internet that the lower limit for foreign investment is the labor law, the upper limit for state-owned assets is the labor law, and the upper limit for private enterprises is the Geneva Convention."

"Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's not far off."

"The way Internet companies eat can look better, but not much better."

"35-year-old layoffs, Taotian's Jack Ma said it was to supply talent to the whole society, he really has no shame, not to mention even more excessive than Jack Ma."

“We want to build a career, not a business.”

"Brother Ruan, can you understand?"

Wang Dong stopped here and asked.

Before Ruan Wei came in to report the situation, he had roughly guessed what Wang Donglai would say, so he was mentally prepared.

"Chairman, I understand."

"This time, I didn't manage it well."

Ruan Wei did not refute, but simply bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"This matter is neither big nor small."

"The employee who led this incident should be fired according to the procedures, and the necessary severance pay should be followed."

"In addition, overtime hours worked during this period will be compensated according to their respective salary levels."

"Finally, in this matter, for managers who have not fulfilled their management responsibilities, starting with you, performance points will be deducted."

"This incident has become a case study. We sent it to all employees and reiterated our philosophy."

Ruan Wei was really surprised to hear this treatment.

He expected to be paid overtime pay.

However, it is a bit outrageous to make this incident into a case and send it to all employees' email addresses.

This doesn't make sense at all.

I wanted to persuade Wang Donglai to change his mind.

But when the words came to his lips, he saw Wang Donglai's determined look on his face, and in the end he didn't say anything.

"Ok."

Nod in agreement.

soon.

This incident caused quite a stir. After all, at this time, there were countless eyes watching Galaxy Technology.

Things like struggle agreements exist within many companies.

Some companies don't even have this agreement and have always done so, and free overtime is the norm.

As a result, as soon as the Galaxy Technology case came out, it immediately resonated with workers.

The most obvious example is that the number of resumes submitted to Galaxy Technology skyrocketed in a short period of time.

Among them are many R&D personnel from the same industry.

Galaxy Technology is rich. Not only has it just raised more than 100 billion yuan in financing, but it has also received strong support from above for its lithography factory project.

The most important thing is that Galaxy Technology is generous and really willing to share the company's development achievements.

However, that is not good news for those bosses.

It's totally destroying the job market!

It's just that no one shouted it out.

……

Simply put, a lithography factory is a process of enlarging lithography machines, and the emphasis is on power.

But internally, the two have different ideas.

In order to verify the feasibility of a lithography factory, we only need to verify the SSMB theory and then conduct a miniaturized technical demonstration.

So, Wang Donglai immediately designed a new plan.

The scale is controlled at about one hundred meters, and the construction cost is also reduced, only seven or eight hundred million yuan is needed.

The most important thing is that the construction period has been shortened a lot.

Only in this way can we complete the demonstration before the end of the year.

At this time, Galaxy Technology was wealthy and powerful, with more than 100 billion yuan on the company's books, making it the cash king.

Starting this project is naturally not a problem.

The whole country is working together, this is not just empty talk.

Yanda, SMIC, Zhongwei, Shanghai Modou Electronics, etc., all provided assistance.

So, progress in this area is very rapid.

Everyone wants to see whether the photolithography factory route is feasible.

This is of great significance to the development of the domestic semiconductor industry.

If this works, it means we will take back a trillion-dollar market.

Moreover, it can also enhance our competitiveness in the smartphone field.

After all, the West sells high-end chips to us at high prices and takes away most of our profits just because we are unable to produce them.

If we can produce it ourselves, they naturally won't be able to sell it at a high price.

No matter from which aspect, it has extraordinary significance for the country.

While carrying out this project, Wang Donglai is also carrying out other scientific research projects.

For example, he guided Feng He in the design of the battle skull system and the architecture of the Thousand-Handed Guanyin system.

There are also businesses such as space rockets that Galaxy Technology has been developing.

Although Galaxy Technology has a large number of scientific researchers, when encountering some difficult problems, they will still throw the problems to Wang Donglai for him to solve.

No matter what field or what the problem is.

As long as Wang Dong comes here, there will be no problems and they will be solved easily.

But Wang Donglai brought more shock to the experts who came to provide assistance.

Because of the connection to the smart assistant, the project progressed very smoothly.

Everyone just needs to do things according to their own work log.

If you encounter any problems, just report them and we will respond to you quickly.

It avoids the disputes that often occur in ordinary projects.

In the next few months.

Galaxy Technology has become extremely low-key and no longer releases any news online. The entire group seems to have pressed the silence button and has not caused any unnecessary noise online.

Only the lithography factory in Tangdu is still under construction, proving that the project has not stopped.

Netizens don’t have that much patience to continue paying attention to these.

However, people within the industry feel differently.

Whether it is domestic or foreign, it is the same.

In the past few months, domestic smartphone manufacturers have also paid a huge price.

Because of the falling out with the global semiconductor industry alliance, the supply of high-end chips to the domestic market was directly cut off.

If the conditions given by the Global Semiconductor Industry Alliance were not too harsh, coupled with the above appearances and instructions issued.

I'm afraid that several domestic manufacturers will not be able to hold on.

But even so, after a few months, it has seriously affected the development of domestic smartphone business.

Apple took advantage of this opportunity to not only consolidate its original market but also expand its user base.

Even Samsung mobile phones, which have been gradually losing market share in the country, seem to be taking this opportunity to make a comeback.

When this happens, many people become anxious.

If the photolithography factory theory fails, the domestic losses will be too great.

Not only did they lose a lot of money, but they also lost their domestic reputation.

Most importantly, the Global Semiconductor Industry Alliance will inevitably take the opportunity to put forward harsh conditions again to force domestic manufacturers to agree.

And at this time.

Galaxy Technology also released a message within the industry.

After the project construction is completed, technical demonstration will be carried out, and colleagues are invited to come and witness this scene!
The news spread overseas immediately.

ASML has been paying close attention to the R&D progress of Galaxy Technology.

After all, China is a big country.

The country has mobilized its entire nation to make targeted breakthroughs in a certain technology. This has allowed the world to see the potential of China decades ago.

Even when we were extremely poor, we were able to achieve the two bombs and one satellite through the use of an abacus.

Not to mention now.

The West is arrogant, but arrogance is not stupid.

ASML is just a company, so it has even less confidence.

After learning that Galaxy Technology had completed the construction and was preparing to invite peers to witness the operation.

Dino's first reaction was impossible!
"It is impossible for China to complete the construction in such a short time."

"Even if China claims to be a powerful infrastructure country, this is limited by the laws of physics and cannot be changed by human will."

"It's only been a few months. China doesn't have enough time to build a complete lithography factory."

“Let alone building from scratch, even if there is a mature plan, it would be impossible in this time.”

Dino was in a very bad mood at the moment. Whether the news was true or false, it had already seriously affected him.

As the chief technology officer of ASML, a leading company in the field of lithography equipment, in addition to enjoying the benefits of this honor, he also has to bear the challenges that come with it.

For example, he needs to firmly defend the advanced nature of EUV lithography equipment.

Whether it is DUV or lithography factory, he needs to strictly suppress other technical routes except the EUV lithography machine route.

Because only in this way can ASML continue to maintain its leading position.

After being angry and suspicious, Dino fell into deep thought.

Things have already happened, and what he needs to think about is how to deal with it, rather than getting angry, which is just impotent rage. (End of this chapter)
