However, Ni Guangnan gave up such a great honor just like that. He gave all the opportunities to explain to these researchers.
Boss Jia did not agree with this at first, but Ni Guangnan's attitude was very firm.
He said that he was already old. In fact, other than providing ideas in the laboratory, he could hardly do any practical research and development work. All the specific matters were handled by these young people. Other than a position and reputation, he had almost nothing else.
Therefore, he was not qualified to speak on behalf of these researchers who had really dedicated all their efforts and take away the honor that belonged to them.
Moreover, Ni Guangnan also said that he was really old. Now, he was somewhat unable to do anything. Perhaps in at most five or six years, he would have to retire to the second line and find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to retire.
Therefore, he should train these young people, give them honor, and let them stay in the Daqian with peace of mind and continue to contribute to the Daqian … Even Lin Benjian was among these researchers, and he was the first to speak. He specifically explained what the immersive lithography machine was!
"Traditional lithography machines have limits. 70nm is an almost insurmountable range, but I once inadvertently thought that since we can't surpass this precision with air as a medium, what if we use water as a medium and use the principle of refraction of light in water to improve the precision? Is it a completely feasible solution?"
"At that time, I found Mr Jia and proposed this idea to him, so the two of us hit it off. Under Mr Jia's kind invitation, I participated in the research and improved the entire immersive lithography machine." Lin Benjian began to enthusiastically explain the work with a smile on his face. No one could tell that Lin Benjian was actually in a state of detention.
After all, although the Daqian restricted Lin Benjian's freedom, it never stopped giving him monetary rewards. Not only would it send Lin Benjian's family a huge salary of 10,000 US dollars every month, but as Lin Benjian's work deepened, his own salary had actually risen to 100,000 US dollars a month. However, the remaining 90,000 US dollars was in Lin Benjian's bank account. Lin Benjian's family had no idea that he had such a huge amount of private money. How could Lin Benjian not be happy?
Moreover, the Daqian had recently reached an agreement with Lin Benjian, which was to admit that Lin Benjian was one of the important founding members of the research and development of the lithography machine. They would admit that the concept of the immersive lithography machine was proposed by Lin Benjian and acknowledge all of Lin Benjian's contributions and achievements in the research and development. At the same time, they would give Lin Benjian a certain amount of freedom and no longer restrict him.
Of course, Lin Benjian was still not allowed to go abroad. He could only move around in the country. However, this was enough for Lin Benjian. He originally thought that the Daqian would kill him to cover up the secret after completing the research and development.
He didn't expect that the Daqian would not only give him freedom, but also return the academic honor that should belong to him. Lin Benjian was excited enough.
As for exposing the Daqian's kidnapping of him, Lin Benjian had no intention of doing so. First, the Daqian had given him enough that Lin Benjian could forget about these things.
Second, the Daqian was still holding Lin Benjian's tail tightly. As long as Lin Benjian couldn't go abroad, Lin Benjian's life was still in the hands of the Daqian.
Third, not many people would believe Lin Benjian even if he told them about it. Lin Benjian himself had no evidence.
"Lin Benjian, I seem to remember this guy!"
"I remember now. Ten years ago, he seemed to have come to our company and talked about his idea of the immersive lithography machine!"
"Yes, I remember now. He also came to our company, but we rejected him."
Compared to the unknown Ni Guangnan, Lin Benjian evoked a lot of memories in the industry. After all, Lin Benjian went to many companies to promote himself in order to realize his idea of the immersive lithography machine, hoping to get sponsorships or something.
However, it seemed that Lin Benjian had disappeared overnight. There was no news about him anymore. But this was normal. He had probably given up and retired in peace.
Who would have thought that this Lin Benjian was secretly recruited by the Daqian, and at the same time, invested a lot of money to help Lin Benjian develop the immersive lithography machine. This idea was just a beautiful fantasy at that time.
Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, scientific progress was actually driven by ideas that sounded very exaggerated. If they had believed Lin Benjian's words at the beginning, would they be the company that broke through the limit now?
At this time, in the audience, the two companies with the worst expressions were probably ASML and TSMC.
The former was the company that Lin Benjian promoted the most and the longest. Many employees, including the current CEO of ASML, remembered the scene where Lin Benjian came to the company again and again to promote himself. In the end, he was ignored by the proud ASML.
"If I had believed him at the beginning …" The CEO of ASML was full of regret. It turned out that success was really just a little bit away from him, but he didn't grasp it. After tonight, he and ASML would probably become the joke of the world.
On the other hand, the CEO of TSMC was probably even more annoyed than ASML. After all, Lin Benjian was an official employee of TSMC and had an employment contract with him. Lin Benjian even established a research and development team for the immersive lithography machine within the company and applied for resources from the company countless times.
However, these were all rejected by TSMC. Moreover, everyone in TSMC hated this guy who seemed to only know how to talk big and did not have any solid qualifications.
The CEO of TSMC still remembered that when Lin Benjian's resignation application was sent over, he was actually very happy. This was because if Lin Benjian resigned voluntarily, TSMC would have saved a considerable amount of severance pay. There was actually such a good thing in the world!
Now that he thought about it, the CEO wanted to slap himself. What kind of stupid thing was this?!
In history, Lin Benjian struggled for more than three years. At the same time, TSMC and ASML kept hitting walls in the research and development of traditional technology. Finally, they decided to take a risk and made a historical breakthrough in the lithography machine.
In this world, Lin Benjian only struggled for two years and then gave up. ASML and TSMC also completely missed this extremely important point. They still insisted on the traditional dry lithography machine until now.
It could only be said that this was all Boss Jia's fault!
