"That's true!" A newcomer looked at the control computer of the lithography machine, then frowned and asked, "This is the export version. Why didn't the Daqian make an English version of the operating system? Isn't it deliberately tormenting us?"
"Probably because the production and sales of the lithography machine are too low. It would be a waste of money to make an English version!" Another worker guessed.
"That's impossible. How much money would it cost to make an English version? It's just a word library. At most, it would cost a few hundred thousand US dollars. But such a machine sells for tens of millions. Compared to that, the cost is nothing! "Someone retorted.
"Actually, we also asked the Daqian engineer who came here to adjust the machine. Do you know what his answer was?" The workshop director narrowed his eyes and asked. Of course, the others shook their heads. They didn't know how the Daqian answered this question.
"The Daqian engineer said that when we bought the lithography machines from other countries, all of them were in English. There was no Chinese. Each of us had an English book to read. If we don't ask you for the Chinese version of the operating system, don't ask us for the English version! "
The director's words shut the other operators up. Forget it. Anyway, they were able to enter Intel thanks to their advantage of knowing Chinese. Thinking about it this way, the Daqian's torment was a good thing.
"But boss, it seems that ASML can already make 30nm photolithography machines. Then, the photolithography machines above 30nm here should be in English, and those below 30nm should be in Chinese, right?" Someone asked curiously.
"No …" The director shook his head. "Only the older lithography machines above 50nm are in English. The other lithography machines are in Chinese!"
"Why?" The person asked, puzzled.
"Of course, it's because the Daqian lithography machines are cheap!" The director rolled his eyes and said, "It's the same lithography machine. The Daqian machine is not only of excellent quality, but it's also a few million dollars cheaper. In addition, they have professional engineers stationed in our company to solve the maintenance problems of the lithography machine anytime and anywhere. Of course, we'll choose the Daqian lithography machine. Only people who have nothing better to do will buy those expensive and terrible ASML machines!" The director said.
"However, I'm afraid we won't be able to buy Daqian lithography machines in the future. Initially, we wanted to take advantage of the three-year buffer period when the ban was first announced to buy a few more. In the end, the Daqian decided not to sell them, so we can only let ASML off the hook … Who knows when ASML will be able to conquer the 14nm lithography machine? I heard that Daqian lithography machines have already entered the 3nm era, and ASML is still struggling with the 14nm. They're a bunch of trash!"
"That's why these 14nm and 7nm machines are even more precious. Our high-end chips can only rely on these machines. If one of them breaks, we'll have one less. If any of you violate the rules and cause damage to the machines, you can imagine the consequences!" The director said, trying to scare the newbies.
"Alright, you've all mastered the operating procedures, right? Follow the standard operating procedures and produce a batch of wafers for me to see!" After the director gave the order, the newbies began to get busy on a machine.
Then, they realized that it was really important to understand Chinese because the computer attached to the lithography machine was really a complete Chinese Hongmeng System and a pure Chinese dedicated software. There were many technical terms that made these people with level 2 certificates feel their scalps tingle. They could only constantly communicate with the people around them to avoid making some mistakes … Although these people had undergone professional operation training, they used the old-fashioned 70nm ASML lithography machine during the training. The operating system was all in English, and the layout was completely different from the Daqian layout. If they didn't understand Chinese, they wouldn't even be able to operate it.
Our workshop director looked at these new workers with satisfaction. They were of good quality. After all, they had at least a university degree, so they should be able to do the job … Before the workshop director could finish his words, he suddenly heard a scream from the workshop.
"What happened?!" The director hurriedly rushed over, and then heard the worker who had screamed just now hurriedly explain, "Boss, this has nothing to do with me. I was operating normally, and he suddenly stopped. I didn't make any mistakes, and he just stopped!!"
"Stopped?" The director glanced at the computer and then found a line of red Chinese text in the middle of the computer screen. This line of text was like an iron chain, firmly locking the entire computer screen.
"I've never seen this Chinese before!" The director wiped the sweat on his forehead. His Chinese was also level 2, but he had worked in this position for seven or eight years. He had seen all kinds of Chinese prompts, but it was the first time he had seen such a wrong prompt. At first, the director didn't know what it meant.
But the next second, the entire workshop almost exploded at the same time. "Director, this machine stopped automatically."
"Mine too!"
"Mine too!"
The director was about to explode at this time. If the newcomer had really made a mistake, then not only did all the newcomers have the same problem, even some skilled old employees had the same problem. The machine seemed to be tied up.
"Oh no!" When the director saw the few old employees who were operating the latest 7nm lithography machine also raise their hands helplessly, indicating that there was a problem with their machine, the director almost fainted.
At this time, the entire workshop was in the same situation. Not a single machine was normal.
"Zhang, come over and take a look. What does it mean?" The director hurriedly called the name of a worker and ran over to take a look. It turned out that the worker was Hua Xia, so he should know Chinese quite well.
"Boss, I grew up in some country. I only spoke English since I was young. My Chinese is only level 2. I really don't know what this is!" Zhang said helplessly.
"F * ck, you're Chinese and you can't even read Chinese. Then why did I hire you? What's the use of you? What's your value? "The director scolded in exasperation.
"Boss, I'm trying to integrate into some country, into society!"
"Bah, I want you to integrate into society? Do I want you to speak English better than me? This is meaningless to me. When I first recruited you, I saw that you were Chinese and thought that you knew a lot of Chinese. In the end, you can't even understand Chinese. What use do I have for you? I announce that from tomorrow onwards, you don't have to come to the company anymore! "The director's words made Zhang feel weak all over. He lay on the ground and couldn't move at all.
"I'm integrating into some country. Am I wrong?" Zhang wailed in his heart.
