Chips were the core of all electronic devices and modern weapons. Without solving this issue, He Xingzhou couldn’t produce weapons that could counter the Zerg.
He Xingzhou stated, “It’s okay, they actually helped us. These nine fields are precisely the targets we aim to conquer!”
Kong Qing said, “Little He is right, they’ve helped us by clearly outlining our research goals, and now it’s up to us to tackle them together.”
Cui Weimin spoke, “Solving these problems will rely on all of you scientists. I will do my utmost as logistics to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan!”
He Xingzhou saw the situation and immediately said, “@Cui Weimin, I happen to have a request!”
“The next phase of research at the Tower Research Institute involves chip manufacturing and the development of lithography machines. I hope to gather the country’s top research forces, including the National Research Institute and private enterprises!”
At the national-level research institute, He Xingzhou himself had the authority to mobilize resources, and he was primarily focused on private enterprises.
Some tech companies had developed over the years and acquired a portion of high-end talent and technology reserves.
But due to business competition and other factors, to make them temporarily put aside market competition and fully unify the front line required the nation to orchestrate!
In the past, Cui Weimin might have hesitated once or twice, as they usually did not interfere with the operation and management of private enterprises.
However, over the last year, with the Tower Research Institute and He Xingzhou’s team’s various technological breakthroughs, they had full confidence in He Xingzhou.
He said, “Alright, I will report it immediately. Chips are a vital national weapon. All resources from research institutes and companies nationwide, regardless of which you need, I will allocate them for you!”
…
He Xingzhou downloaded the file from the group and printed the list of the nine main areas and thousands of small projects, posting them in the meeting room of the Tower Research Institute.
“Everyone, look. These are the research projects listed by our competitors. If we cannot overcome these research projects, the Xuanwu Plan cannot be smoothly executed!”
“So from today on, the technologies listed above are what we need to tackle!”
“We must not only reach the world’s top level but also surpass them to become the new benchmark in global technology!”
In the meeting room, all the team leaders remembered this list. Upon learning of this situation, they were all full of resentment!
Facing ocean pollution and mutant creatures, they had been seeking international cooperation, but these people simply ignored them, refusing to acknowledge the pollution and mutations.
Not only did they not cooperate, but they also created this comprehensive competitive content!

As a result, everyone felt a pent-up anger, hoping that one day, the whole world would know that when an apocalypse-scale disaster struck, only Shen Zhou would be humanity’s last haven!
And the guardian of this haven was this technology!
…
The announcement from Bai Ying and others shook all of Shen Zhou. Some private enterprises felt immense pressure and panic.
Their international business faced the most significant obstacles in history!
Moreover, even the domestic market began to encounter problems!
As soon as the news came out, the stock market plummeted while the US Dollar and favorable US stocks rose across the board!
Of course, there were also foreign companies that protested against this because they believed it severely affected their businesses and, at the same time, feared that Shen Zhou would overcome the relevant technologies.
In response to these voices, Bai Ying and others directly suppressed them and compensated with some measures.
The first to panic was the domestic smart product market.
At Huawei Company, the head of their mobile business, Xiao Dong, was so worried he was losing his hair. In the high-level meeting, all the executives were frowning!
“Too ruthless, they’re too ruthless to use a strategy of mutual destruction like this!” the marketing director gritted his teeth and said, “Our overseas market has fully contracted, the latest chips can’t be bought, and the domestic market is also shrinking.”
“Now they’re making our chips as though they’ve gone back five years! They’re not even as good as using our own chips!”
“If this can’t be solved, within a year, the entire smart product market in Shen Zhou will be completely seized by companies like Apple, Samsung, and Google!” The high-ranking officials all knew that consumers couldn’t accept the processor performance from five years ago.
As the saying goes, ease of luxury but hardship of frugality. Would anyone go back after getting used to high-end devices?
Moreover, there would still be many foreign brands to choose from in the market!
“How long can our chip reserves last?” Xiao Dong inquired.
“All models are being reduced in production!” The director of logistics helplessly said, “Even if we cut production by another fifty percent, it can only last for a year!”
“A year is absolutely insufficient to improve the Kirin chips to a level that can compete internationally!”
Everyone was silent; this seemed like an inescapable trap. Even Xiao Dong couldn’t help but think, *Would Huawei Company be forced to fully withdraw from the high-end smart product sector?*
“This isn’t just targeted at us; companies like Da Mi, Huaxing, OP, and VI will all face this issue!” someone said.
“For us right now, we’re all at a critical juncture between life and death. I would much prefer to have the chance to compete with them rather than be so helpless!” Xiao Dong said gravely, “Now we can only stop part of our smart product development and focus all our energy on chip research.”
“Let’s hope for a breakthrough before we fall!”
The meeting room was filled with a sense of despair, a point of no return where survival or extinction would be determined!
Just as Xiao Dong was about to sign internal documents, a person with a special identity came to the company.
“Hello, Mr. Xiao, I’m with the national security and the Academy of Sciences… We have a plan, we need to unite the nation’s chip forces for joint research, and we hope Huawei Company can cooperate…” When the other party finished speaking, Xiao Dong, instead of worrying, asked, “Are you serious about this? Is this plan led by He Xingzhou and his team?”
“Of course, it’s true!” the other party said.
“Great!” Xiao Dong made a decisive decision, saying, “If it were someone else, I might not believe it, but with He Xingzhou, our Huawei Company is willing to contribute people, effort, and money. As long as we can achieve breakthroughs in chip technology, we’re willing to fully cooperate!”
…
A similar scene happened at the Da Mi Company. In fact, as soon as Tian Jun heard it was led by He Xingzhou, he agreed immediately.
He also stated, “We can contribute our entire team and donate money for the team!”
He knew clearly that as long as progress could be made in chip technology, all of this would ultimately be worth it!
“He Xingzhou, you must succeed!”
“The survival of Shen Zhou’s semiconductor and high-tech fields depends on you!”
Along with the Shen Zhou Semiconductor Group, Huaxin Group, and Shanghai Microelectronics Technology Group, the top ten companies in Shen Zhou’s chip sector all joined this alliance.
Besides them, related research institutes and university research institutions from across the country also joined.
For a piece of domestic high-end chip, the entirety of Shen Zhou’s high-end research power joined without considering economic benefits!
Most of them only knew they were participating in a chip research plan, and only a few core talents and leaders were aware that they were actually participating in just a part of the Xuanwu Plan!
At this moment, He Xingzhou was also making preparations.
Specialized personnel managed team management planning and other tasks.
What He Xingzhou needed to do was consolidate data and information, integrate existing scientific data into the Quantum Light Computer’s database, and light up these technologies directly.
These collected data alone saved him at least two hundred thousand units of energy points!
He had also mapped out several major hurdles that restricted high-end chip manufacturing.
“High-purity silicon, that was already solved.” In terms of raw materials required for chip manufacturing, He Xingzhou solved it a year ago. He recalled initially improving solar battery technology, and besides providing nanometer-crystal solar battery panels, He Xingzhou had provided the technology for high-purity silicon purification.
“Chip design, this issue needs to be addressed.”
“Then there’s the hardest part, chip manufacturing, which is the high-end lithography machine! This is also the most crucial machine and technology in the entire chip industry!”
