Boss Jia was also very helpless about such a result. After all, in his opinion, China's first wave of professional clubs had been built, and the e-sports system was as comprehensive as possible with the support of Daqian. However, in the third session, he had no way to do so.

"China has a market, but there are not enough players and players who are proficient enough!" Huang Xufeng, president of Daqian Esports, concluded when he reported to Boss Jia.

"Although we now have a population of 1.1 billion, the number of computers, hosts, and handhelds is far smaller than that of other countries, so we are actually a veritable weak e-sports country. We lack the soil to cultivate e-sports experts. This is an indisputable fact!"

"Forget it..." Boss Jia was also very helpless when he heard this, because this was a helpless fact. In the entire 1998, China's economy was still not very good, and computers and hosts were all luxury goods. The number of players was indeed small, even if Boss Jia worked so hard to run the e-sports industry.

In fact, it is precisely because of Boss Jia's business of the e-sports industry that the e-sports industries in other countries, such as the e-sports industries in South Korea and Fusang, began to make efforts in advance.

Fusang entered the era of OGN e-sports league seven years earlier than in history. Fusang did not have the first e-sports professional league LJL until 2015. Therefore, Boss Jia entered the e-sports industry in advance. Although it was considered to have established the e-sports market in China in advance, it also pushed other countries with stronger e-sports foundation into the development wave of the e-sports industry in advance.

So after all, it was Boss Jia’s fault.

But then again, as long as the population base of China is here, computers and hosts in China will become popular, and e-sports will still be in China in the future, but Boss Jia can start making money more than ten years in advance.

That’s right, because of the hot development of the e-sports industry, Daqian E-sports has actually achieved profitability this year. Although it only has a final profit of hundreds of thousands of dollars, this is a good phenomenon. E-sports is finally no longer a money-making thing.

"Teacher, there will be no problem this time!"

"If there is any problem, I will stop doing it. You are my teacher!"

This is a conversation between Ni Guangnan and Jia Yapeng, the master and apprentice.

After the experiment failed in the first half of this year, the people in the entire research center were miserable. Ni Guangnan chased them like a crazy wild dog and forced them to perform various calculations and improvements. In the end, the data reconciliation that was originally planned to be completed in about one year was completed in less than 6 months.

So, Ni Guangnan once again invited Boss Jia to the research center to visit the second experiment, and then the above problems came into being.

Since Ni Guangnan dares to say this, he is naturally confident.

Because our Chief Engineer Ni learned the lesson from the last time, he called Boss Jia over to visit without knowing the results of the experiment, which made him lose face.

So this time, the experiment has actually been repeated three times. After each success, we called our boss Jia over. Ni Guangnan didn't want to lose the second time with the same face.

The results are naturally conceivable. The experiment was very successful. After working on the lithography machine for an hour, the first batch of products were released and Boss Jia personally conducted the inspection.

On a piece of single crystal silicon the size of a finger, it has 102 million transistors, which is more than 500 more transistors than AMSL's 70nm lithography machine. Therefore, this experiment is undoubtedly a great success. Daqian's lithography machine technology has been able to reach the world's first-class level at present.

Seeing this result, Boss Jia's eyes were a little wet.

It has been six years since Boss Jia started to make arrangements six years in advance and built this research center six years in advance, just for such a lithography machine. Now that he has finally caught up, can Boss Jia not cry?

Of course, this does not mean that Daqian has truly caught up with the world's advanced level. Although the number of transistors has reached the standard, it cannot be compared with AMSL's lithography machines in other aspects.

First of all, the yield rate.

The lithography machine developed by Daqian can process 100 wafers in one hour, and the chips used by lithography machines are basically 10-inch wafers. A wafer like this can cut out about 100 chips.

But this does not mean that a lithography machine can produce 10,000 chips in one hour, and 240,000 chips in a day.

Because there is also a need to consider the yield rate.

Although a wafer can cut 100 chips, this cannot be perfect during the printing process.

Just like when printing and copying, some problems such as black dots, leakages, and ink marks are inevitable. Lithography machines, which should be lithographically etched, are more likely to occur in various errors. Otherwise, the lithography machine will not have to be produced in a workshop that is absolutely dust-free, constant temperature, constant humidity, and constant light, because any subtle environmental changes will lead to the printing results being very different.

But no matter how careful it is, errors will still occur. As long as there is a problem with one transistor in the chip when it is printed, it may cause the entire chip to be ruined and cannot be calculated.

And this kind of problem will almost inevitably arise.

So after the wafer printing is completed, a process is to test whether the chip can work normally. If it cannot work normally, it will be directly beaten into waste.

In the end, how many chips can be found in the 100 chips cut from a wafer can work normally? Passing the test means the yield of this lithography machine.

As an old lithography machine manufacturer, AMSL's yield rate is only 65%, and sometimes it even drops below 50%, but this is already the highest level in the industry.

As for the lithography machine Daqian built himself, Boss Jia found that after checking the 100 chips cut from the entire wafer, there were only 17 chips that could work normally, and the remaining 83 chips failed.

Therefore, the current yield rate of Daqian lithography machine is only 17%, but it is not even 1/3 of AMSL. This means that only Daqian lithography machines can compare with the efficiency of AMSL lithography machine. It is natural to choose what choices the buyer will make.

In addition to the crucial issue of yield rate, the lithography machine in front of us is just a prototype. If it wants to reach the level of mass production models, there are still many problems.

In addition, in the laboratory, many patents are used whenever they want, and there is no need to consider the patent issue. But once it is launched on the market, if the lithography machine uses unauthorized patents or technology, it will definitely bring astronomical compensation.

In addition, there are also packaging technology issues, detection technology issues, lens issues, etc. A lot of problems are placed in front of Boss Jia.

In general, although the technology has made breakthroughs, it is still far from enough to actually manufacture it and compete with companies such as AMSL!
