Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

"The performance indicators of our two core equipment types, coating machines and etching machines, are currently among the top three in the world."

After holding an internal coordination meeting, the group submitted the filing materials to the relevant authorities that same afternoon.

Three days later at nine o'clock in the morning, the conference hall at Huaxing headquarters was full of people.

Lin Quan sat in the back row on the left, with a glass of warm water in front of him.

"Dear media colleagues, the theme of today's press conference is Huaxing Group's newly developed mass-production lithography equipment."

"Mr. Zhang, could you please specify which type of product it is?"

"Extreme ultraviolet lithography machine...the highest-level lithography system in currently publicly available international information."

"What wavelength does 'extreme ultraviolet' refer to?"

"The main wavelength of the deep ultraviolet lithography machine is 193 nanometers, while the wavelength of our light source is 13.5 nanometers."

"Can the actual manufacturing process reach 90 nanometers?"

"Most deep ultraviolet (DEU) equipment production lines are stuck at the 28-nanometer node. Our machine is designed to be 1 nanometer."

"Which team is primarily responsible for the research and development? Is there any international technological cooperation involved?"

"The relevant research and development path is a confidential matter and will not be disclosed."

"However, according to publicly available information, ASML requires the collaborative supply of tens of thousands of companies for a single deep ultraviolet (DUV) unit. How can Huaxing, which is handling this project independently, resolve the supply chain disruptions?"

Whether others believe it or not doesn't affect whether the equipment can operate.

"How much does it cost?"

"Starting from 500 million NT dollars, priority will be given to ensuring the procurement needs of domestic wafer fabs."

"Annual delivery capacity?"

"The initial planned production capacity is 30 units, and the current order volume has reached 100 units."

After the press conference, Lin Quan, along with Mu Zhenguo and his entourage, moved to an old restaurant in the east of the city.

After the news broke, several domestic chip foundries held emergency coordination meetings overnight; the homepages of several major overseas semiconductor forums were flooded with headlines all containing question marks.

"President Lin, I really have to thank you properly." Mu Zhenguo raised his glass.

"Ten percent of the revenue is what you deserve. Business is about creating a closed loop, not about being polite." Lin Quan clinked glasses and took a sip of his drink.

The 500 million that just arrived in my account is still stuck on my phone's lock screen with the bank's SMS notification.

The coating and etching processes have not yet been upgraded, which has dragged down the overall capacity of the production line.

The 28-nanometer wafer only completed the entire process earlier this year.

The processing parameters for the 7nm process have all been verified, but the actual tape-out still remains at the 14nm level.

There is a solid wall between processing capabilities and design capabilities.

Currently, there are only six design teams in the world that can reliably output 14-nanometer layouts, one of which belongs to Huayao Group.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food, Mu Zhenguo picked up a piece of braised beef and suddenly looked up: "President Lin, I heard you also have ideas about coating and etching?"

Lin Quan wiped his mouth: "How about charging a technology licensing fee of one-tenth of the equipment's selling price?"

Mu Zhenguo didn't hesitate: "Sign."

The contract was signed, and the dinner party ended. Lin Quan got into a black sedan; the driver was a security guard arranged by Huaxing Group, wearing dark blue overalls and not saying much.

Back at the Mingyang Building, Lin Quan took out four hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and handed them over: "Thank you for giving me a ride back."

"Mr. Lin, we really can't accept this." The other person pulled their hand back.

"Take this, it'll cost money to take a taxi home." Lin Quan stuffed it directly into his work clothes pocket and turned to enter the revolving door.

For the next two weeks, Lin Quan handed the USB drive to the Xinghai system to run simulations and rewrite everything, including the vacuum chamber structure of the coating machine, the plasma source matching curve of the etching machine, and the multi-layer mask alignment algorithm.

Then he drove to Huaxing, put the new USB drive in Mu Zhenguo's desk drawer, and didn't stay for a minute longer.

Back at the building, during the day I led the Rose Band in practicing reverb control for vocal parts, accompanied the Imperial Concubine Band in rehearsing stage movement, helped the Cherry Blossom Band adjust synthesizer tone parameters, and polished foreign language lyrics for the Happy Band; I also casually refined a few spirit stones, and when I pressed my fingertips against the surface of the jade, I could feel a faint vortex spinning in my palm.

He practiced his skills in different places at night, and the rhythm of the third level of the Chaos Yin Yang Divine Skill became more and more stable.

All four band members successfully completed their Foundation Establishment. Park Hye-yeon switched to using her divine sense to assist in calibrating the metronome, Alisa strengthened her lung capacity with her true essence, and even Sakurai Misaki, who was most afraid of high notes, was able to sing the third movement of "Moonlight Sonata" in one breath.

The group of rich kids who used to go clubbing and snatch sneakers together in their younger days no longer have his profile picture on social media.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, flipping through his contacts. His finger hovered over the name "Fujiwara Yuriko" for two seconds before dialing Mu Zhenguo's number: "I'll have to trouble you to expedite the naturalization process."

South Korean visa tightening is just the beginning. The island flow and star flow visa restrictions could follow suit at any time.

Once the identity is established, there will naturally be more room for maneuver in subsequent actions.

With her status as a "charity star" and the coordination of Mu Zhenguo and others, the naturalization process went very smoothly.

He stopped caring about the band's affairs and went downstairs to take a look around the film and television company.

Seeing that the tall and sturdy SUV parked downstairs was still there, Lin Quan turned around and went back to Shanshui Community.

His parents had just arrived home. He planned to use elixirs to help them solidify their foundation.

After dinner, he handed a bottle of pills to his father, Lin Jiancheng, without explaining much, only saying, "Take one pill a day with warm water."

Back in his room, Lin Quan held a top-grade spirit stone in each hand, sat quietly to regulate his breathing, circulated his cultivation technique, and slowly let the spiritual energy enter his body, be refined, and return to its origin.

"Making money through acting and endorsements is too slow. It's better to just take over a pharmaceutical factory... Medicine sells faster than anything else."

He often buys blind boxes, sometimes dozens or even hundreds at a time. No matter how thick the account is, it can't withstand such spending.

But he doesn't feel like he's losing out when every purchase is simultaneously donated to charity; on the contrary, he feels at ease.

The next morning, after having breakfast at home, he drove to the company.

I sat down in the office and casually picked up a free blind box.

"A thousand Powerball bets? The lottery from Singapore?"

A quick online search revealed that the lottery draw is the day after tomorrow.

We'll know the results tomorrow.

He paused for a few seconds, then called his parents to let them know he was safe, and immediately booked a ticket to Singapore.

The following evening, he landed at an airport in Singapore.

"We still have plenty of time, let's go to Las Vegas first."

After a several-hour drive, we arrived in Singapore's gambling capital.

After exchanging some chips, he didn't rush to place bets, alternating between wins and losses, but his luck was incredibly steady... winning more than he lost, and his chips piled up higher and higher.

"Thirty million Star Coins, which is about 180 million Chinese Yuan, is enough."

The money was donated in exchange for 180 blind boxes.

Free blind boxes can only be opened within 24 hours; those purchased at your own expense can be opened at any time.

He didn't touch them.

On the night of the Powerball draw, he won... a prize of over 1.86 billion Star Coins.

After claiming the prize, he received over 1.49 billion yuan, but he didn't keep a single penny and exchanged it all for blind boxes.

"Of the prize money won in Singapore, 80% will be donated back to China, and 20% will be donated to 12 countries including 8 countries and Cyprus."

"Nine thousand one hundred and nine blind boxes. Let's find a nearby hotel and open them all tonight."

Upon entering the room, Lin Quan, his smile still lingering, began unpacking the box.

He opened one of the seals, took out the item, and with a slight thought, the item was stored in the Divine Dragon Ring.

In just over three hours, more than nine thousand boxes were emptied.

Having made a considerable profit, he got up, went out, and entered the casino again.

This time, things went the other way: more losses than wins. After repeatedly exchanging chips and going in and out, my name ended up on a blacklist.

He changed his face, his body, and his venue, but he still lost more than he won.
